Name Change

Today I realize that the previous name for this Blog "Warning: The Following May Contain Language" is already being used as the name of a column written by Warren Ellis. At least something like that. I'll have to check with Josh my comic book Guru down at the comic shop, but I'm pretty sure I recall something using that title.

Actually I intended the reference to be to the opening sequence of Alan Moore's Big Numbers where a girl asleep on a train is awakened by a rock thrown through the train window and shouts a startled expletive. An elderly couple seated across from her says something like "Well there's no need to use language is there." To which I think she responds "Huh? No need for language?" or something like that.

Maybe Warren Ellis had the same sequence in mind. I just thought it up on the spur of the moment (or thought I thought it up) because I needed a title to start posting. Anyway, I'm sure I'm flying way below Warren Ellis's radar, but sorry Warren. Dont sue me.

New Name

So the possible need for a name change was at the back of my mind today when we (my wife and I) went up to the Palace Theatre on Playhouse Square in Cleveland to see King Kong on the big screen. Well worth the trip. Perhaps more on that later.

Anyway near the beginning of the film, after setting sail from New York, Jack Driscoll and Captain Englehorn are discussing Carl Denham and his exedition. They finally decide he's "not crazy just enthusiastic." Well that was it. I hope. Anyway I hope RKO or Merian C. Cooper's &/or Edgar Wallace's literary estates can't sue me or issue a cease and desist order or something.

So "Not Crazy...Just Enthusiastic" is, I hope, a perfect title for what will be a chance for me to wax enthusiastic on what will probably seem like a crazy assortment of subjects, beliefs, opinions, pet peeves, and just plain weird stuff. It should be nothing if not eclectic, but I hope never less than entertaining.
