I was just eating one of my roommate’s Divine Delights cake candies and had an idea for a scene in a movie in which a lonely man is sharing cake with his pet rat as he says, “One small piece for Man, one giant piece for Mankind.” I guess the rat’s name would have to be Man, and maybe the guy just thought it made sense that his self-given nickname be an extended version of that because he sort of feels like on some deep, philosophical level, he’s nothing more than an abstract-reasoning version of this rat. He must have some insatiable void, ya know? Maybe the movie could be called Man and Mankind and it would be mostly about the man’s relationship with his rat and how the rat is the only mammal that he can really share things with in an honest way. 

I guess this is the point where I acknowledge that this idea is one of the stupidest ideas ever and say something disjointing like “Hollywood, I am merely a vessel.” But it’s not my place to decide if an idea is really good or not, I AM MERELY A VESSEL!
