And (If They Go With The "Soap" Idea) I'll Play Benson,...


Today, Ann Althouse made two comments on a post that were just too *RIPE* to pass up - first came this one (emphasis mine):


Remember, Meade and I need to do some road trips for your entertainment, and it's a big deal to do that customized Sprinter to suit the sensitivities of an old lady professor-blogger.

And then came this one: 


We had a fantasy of being more like Clarence Thomas and his wife, traveling about.



I pictured some reverse sitcom credits - "with Clarence Thomas as Meade" - and died laughing, though Meade as Clarence Thomas would be just as funny:

"My grandfather beat me,..."


Ann and Meade are off, in their own little vacuum-sealed-with-money existence (a Sprinter? Really?) so I wouldn't go trying to cross-reference it with the reality of Walmart, that CT and Jenny enjoy, too quickly. If anything, I'd say Ann and Meade ought to start off slow - like with whatever they'd consider a cheap air mattress in the backyard - and then try working their way down. Real Americans will laugh at them otherwise.


So what can Ann and Meade do, instead, or until they're ready? 

Well - since my enjoyment is such a major concern of theirs - here are Crack's Top Ten Suggestions For What Meadhouse Can Do To Keep Me Entertained:


10) Meade can start showing up to Wisconsin protests in obnoxiously colorful sweaters because he and Ann have re-imagined themselves as the Huxtables.


9) Meade as Marian Berry ("The bitch set me up!")


8) Blackface: Meade's Obama, Ann's Michelle,...wait - that's not much of a stretch,...


7) They buy the Sprinter, and the two of them criss-cross the country, recreating scenes from the Vietnam War's My Lai Massacre. (Extra credit if they make a special stop at "Roswell.")


6) They do whatever they see on an old episode of MTV's "Pimp My Ride" - complete with hydraulics - THEN they go visit the RV campgrounds.


5) Meade is Anthony Hopkins. Ann is Jodie Foster. This is Silence Of The Lambs. Action!


4) Three words: The Beverly Hillbillies.


3) Billarry or "Soap" - pick one. Ann and Meade may interpret them as they like.


2) Since they both like Mitt so much - strap a dog to the roof of anything and just GO!



And Crack's Number One Suggestion For What Meadhouse Can Do To Keep Me Entertained:


1) Tell everybody they're going to see Mayan temples - but they really visit all the Mormon ones!

  2. They should take you up on these suggestions. They would be fun.

  3. Meade seems pretty popular with a number of the ladies that comment at Althouse, so maybe they could put on their own version of Big Love.

  4. I see your hypertensive mind has been working OT, lately, good show, Crack. Road trips always have infinite possibilities.. BTW, sorry, I really should stop by more often--from look of recent posts looks like you've been especially "creative" as of late, lol.

  5. Jesus is only a red belt? Plus, it looks like a vuvezela free-for-all in Heaven. No thanks Jack.
