My wish

[gfish]

I want to build an underground lair. Comfortable, though without too many distractions. I want it to be able to host about half a dozen people indefinitely. I want it to lock from the outside.

I want there to be a big screen in the center which has a live feed of what I'm seeing and hearing, where ever I am. Around the conference table in front of the screen would be a series of microphones. Each one, when triggered, transmits into an earpiece I'd always be wearing.

I want to kidnap Aaron Sorkin, Joss Whedon, James Goldman (The Lion in Winter), Donald Stewart (The Philadelphia Story) and Charles Lederer (His Girl Friday). Maybe a couple others, too. As I go about my daily life, their job will be to follow what I am doing, and feed me witty dialog, Cyrano-style. I could listen to all their suggestions and choose the best. There should probably be some kind of dispenser of writer treats, to reward whoever came up with the best line.

I realize this would be a violation not only of human rights but also the laws of physics, as I'd need a time machine to make it happen. I don't care.

And, of course, I want all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of peace and harmony.

I just want people to be less self-servingly stupid. But if my average commute is anything to judge by, I think your wish might be more likely to come true.

Win.

*snork* You'll have to give them at least one-way access to outside media including the Internet or their witticisms won't stay current.

Also they'll probably get malicious. Which will be hysterical as we watch your downfall. I support this plan.

Wouldn't the wit latency be noticeable?

You reminded me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu5kX2hwDgk) :)

Your fantasies are so much more original than my fantasies. Yeah, my fanaties always involve some kind of sexual activity.

Heh, I almost considered commenting with that. M&W are awesome (especially M).

[memegarden.livejournal.com]

Excellent points.

M is fantastic. W I originally felt made the pair seem like some sort of cheaper version of Fry & Laurie, and W seemed fairly Laurie-like in some early things I saw, which put me off. But now I quite adore him, too. His bit in the bawdy '70s hospital sketch was fantastic. Could do without Sir Digby Chicken-Caesar.
