My brain is in a strange place today

Not feeling good, and my brain is having a field day.

I'm reading my ebook sales newsletters and came across the following description: "...A police officer, a sharpshooter, and a Marine band together to survive in this high-octane series starter..."

So you've got the cop and the sharpshooter driving down the road in a beat-up Trans Am, followed by a bus of Marine musicians performing Sousa....

:-)

This is honestly how my brain initially interpreted that blurb. I really need to re-re-re-watch Police Squad and the Naked Gun movies.

......I'd read your version of the book before the intended-meaning one. :D

Your brain and mine, both on pretty much the same track. Warm weather, wind and LOTS of whatever I'm allergic to. It has pretty much shut me down. MORE water!!

I read it like you did, but without that amusing visualization!

Ah yes, some good comedy movies would be good to watch.

Reminds me of some dialogue I had in Iceland (near the bottom) https://mile42.net/2021/09/business-in-egilsstadir/

This sounds like a beginning of a stereotyped joke. Did they go to a bar at some point? :)

I think going through the oeuvre of Police Squad! Would be an excellent idea. The blurb there is pretty word salad.

I love those movies and Police Squad! I wish Police Squad was streaming somewhere. I have it on DVD but with various tech changes watching a DVD has become a somewhat Byzantine process that deters me from physical media.

...I do not think that I have particularly high hopes for the Naked Gun remake with Liam Neeson, but I will probably watch it anyway.
