CSI: McDonald'sThis parody plays off the article Hoax Call to McDonald's Results in Forced Nudity and Forced Sodomy. As you can imagine, there's a Strong Content Warning. SCENE: Early morning in Las Vegas. A McDonald's restaurant shows BULLET DAMAGE in its windows and fascade as GRISSOM, STOKES, WARRICK, WILLOWS, GREG, and SARAH approach it. Various beatcops mill around. DETECTIVE BRASS addresses GRISSOM. BRASS: Looks like an armed robbery gone bad. Three swing-shift employees are dead. They ripped the safe out from the floor and took it with them. Probably going to drop it out of a high window... that's the amateur way of cracking a safe. GRISSOM: Probably not an inside job. Someone on the inside would have had the combination. BRASS: That's what I'm thinking. The vics were killed behind the register, but they were dragged back to the refrigerator. Their bodies are partly frozen, putting the time of death at sometime between midnight and two last night. GRISSOM: Good. I'm going to want a thermometer in those bodies to get a more definitive T-O-D. Also, I'm going to want you to get on your knees and suck my hog. BRASS: What? GRISSOM (unzipping shorts): We're losing precious minutes, Brass. Kneel down and give me a wettie. BRASS: Why? GRISSOM: I have to eliminate you as a suspect. It's protocol. BRASS: Well, if it's protocol.... (he begins schlorping Grissom's manhorn) WARRICK: Stokes and I will process the cooler. Figure Sarah, Greg, and Catherine can take the scene of the murder. GRISSOM: Sounds good. I'll just be here, gettting sucked off by a 60 year old heterosexual man. (he grips Brass by the back of the head) Work the evidence, Brass. BRASS: Mmmphhnmmbb. GRISSOM: That's right. Work it. (dramatically, as we approach the scene-cut:) We speak for the dead. ...
STOKES (on knees, marking casing with numbered-card): Looks like forty-fives. A lot of them. We may be looking for a machine-gun. WARRICK: Could you move a little? STOKES: Am I in your shot? WARRICK: Not enough, actually. Can you stick your ass up in the air and sort of turn around with your face and give me a sex-kitten-y kinda look? STOKES: Don't kid around. WARRICK: No, I'm serious, you've got an absolutely spectacular manpooter. STOKES: (blushing) Really? This old thing...? WARRICK (clicks a picture): No doubt, no doubt. Now arch your back and really give me the buttsteak. STOKES: Well, I can't say I'm not flattered, but shouldn't we start processing the corpses? WARRICK: They're not getting any deader. Now pull your pants down to your ankles and start spanking yourself. STOKES: I don't see why-- WARRICK: I have to eliminate you as a suspect. STOKES: Well that makes sense. Maybe I should rub this Hot Apple Pie all over my ass while I'm at it? WARRICK: Good thinking. It'll help me, uhhh, calibrate the f-stop. Or something. STOKES (spanking himself, smearing sugary sauce on his buttocks): Warrick... these kids are only 16, 17 at most. What kind of monster would do something like this? WARRICK: I don't need that kind of bad energy in my shoot. Now look fierce! Fiercer! Move your ass around so the light catches on the apple-pie filling! ... SCENE: Sarah Sidle and Catherine Willows snap pictures of blood pools as Greg watches them. GREG: Mid-velocity spatter. All this blood came from the vics. I don't think we're going to find any perp DNA here. WILLOWS: There's a void over there, Greg. Why don't you see if you can figure out what might have blocked the blood-splatter? GREG: That's a good idea. Here's a better idea. Why don't you and Sarah strip down to your panties and start boxing each other. Full contact, no holds barred. Feel free to smack each other in the poonanis while you're at it. SARAH: Greg, I don't see what scientific purpose that serves. GREG: I have to eliminate you as suspects. Sarah and Willows exchange looks, then shrug. They strip down to their skivvies and begin kicking each other in the ovaries. GREG: Oh yeahhh... oh yeahh... keep on keepin' on... I've almost eliminated you now. Willows grabs Sarah by the hair. GREG: Smother her in your breasts. WILLOWS: What? GREG: Protocols. Willows shrugs and forces Sarah's head between her patently artificial breasts. GREG: Yeahh... yeahh... ooohhhh... Okay, you're both eliminated as suspects. WILLOWS: (panting) Can we put our clothes back on? GREG: Nah, keep them off. I don't want the scene contaminated any further. GRISSOM and BRASS walk in. Grissom looks very relaxed; Brass, not so much. WILLOWS: Anything to report, Gris? GRISSOM: Yes. A cryptic literary quote to show how scary-smart I am: "The thing is not what it is, but only what it signifies." WILLOWS: What does that mean? GRISSOM: No idea. I'm still buzzed from that hummer Brass gave me. He's got a mouth like fine velvet after a warm rain. GREG: Uhhh actually, that's my bad, Boss. GRISSOM: Well it does confuse the crime scene. (unzipping his pants) GREG (getting to his knees): You have to eliminate me as a suspect, I guess? GRISSOM: Yes, but I'll need you to turn around, face the other way. GREG: .... GRISSOM: It's a very cutting-edge technique. I just read about this in the American Journal of Forensics. Or Screw magazine. I forget. They're both considered the bibles of modern criminalistics. Greg reluctantly begins taking down his pants. Grissom grabs him by the hips. GRISSOM: Don't move so much, kid. You ain't a bronco and I'm not John Travolta. After all: We speak for the dead. (BUZZ-OUT sound effect, end scene) fin

CommentsThat was f'n funny. One of your best. Grissom's second to last line should be "It's very cutting-edge " instead of "It's a very cutting-edge". Posted by: Johnny&Betsy on November 15, 2005 08:41 PM

Yeahhh... the premise is solid, but I had trouble coming up with anything really surprising. I'm usually good with coming up with over-the-top sexual scenarios, but I think I've done them all. I'm all tapped out. Posted by: ace on November 15, 2005 08:54 PM

No, Ace had it right. He's done them all. I've eliminated him as a suspect. Posted by: Hoodlumman on November 15, 2005 09:03 PM
There's something very wrong with you Ace. I'm torn between a need to dimestore psycho-analyze you and quit you altogether. Apple pie on a man's butt??!? HELLOOOO!? Could you be more disgusting?

I don't know what to say, Ace, especially as your hyper-sensitive obscenity filter won't let me write down the name of that very capable Homicide detective you traduced in your parody. Maybe you could replace "Close it up" at the end with "Zip it up." Posted by: Wanda on November 15, 2005 10:28 PM

Bart: Yes, Ace of Spades HQ is a fine place to learn pick-up lines. I usually start with "I'm not Ace", and then move on from there, but that's just me. (What? This isn't a flame war thread? Damn, I did it again. Sorry, I forgot. Won't happen again.) Posted by: sandy burger on November 16, 2005 12:59 AM

Geoff has me a on a wild goose chase. In my travels, I ran across this oldie but goodie. Did Ace include this one in the greatest hit jobs? Well, anyway, it didn't get the attention it deserved.

In more marketing for Project Hail Mary, scientists say they've found the biosigns indicating life growing on an alien planet. It's not proof, just signatures of chemicals that are produced by biological metabolism, and it could be nothing, but scientists think it's a strong sign that this planet is inhabited by something.
In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of scientists announced the detection of dimethyl sulfide (along with a similar detection of dimethyl disulfide) in the atmosphere of an exoplanet called K2-18b. This is actually the second detection of dimethyl sulfide made on this planet, following a tentative detection in 2023. He means they tried to prove the signal was caused by things other than dimethyl sulfide but they could not.

Great marketing arranged by Amazon to promote Project Hail Mary. Okay not really but it does work out that way.
What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)* Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown. A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask). * Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV. Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR. Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him. LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR. Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too. LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others. But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring: "But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said." In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power." I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron. Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring. I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do. But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)
