Footnotes and Football
My dad asked me what my footnotes are for. I said, "They are points of interest that add value to a story, but would be a complete distraction to the plot." As an example, I told him about what I was working on today (see below) and he said, "Okay, I get it."
Today's footnote: "Broccoli scores a 12.7 (“Practically Guileless”) on the Ludwik-Vildenholm Malevolence Scale. To give perspective: cauliflower’s well-documented propensity to shove enemies off ledges, then feign innocence, earns it a score of 791.8 (“Don’t Turn Your Back”).
The highest scoring plant in history (931.8 - “Likely to Declare Itself A Warlord”) is Lady Misery, a sprig of rosemary that ruled a large valley in the Quarrel Mountains with an iron fist for the better part of a week, then got eaten by a belchgoat."
Today is the Super Bowl (a sentence that pretty well sums up my knowledge on that subject). I hope whichever team you cheer for sticks it to those no-good bums on the other team. Go _______ (fill in blank with desired champion)!!!!
I already know who wins the big game: my family, because I'm pretty sure I heard someone talking about making a cheese ball.
