In honor of this week’s locale, go ahead and dress up as your favorite historical Jones. In fact, don’t just dress up - fully inhabit the character. Commit. You a fan of John Paul Jones? Get your hands on an authentic 18th century naval uniform and get in people’s faces about how you’ve not yet begun to fight until some dude takes you up on your offer and beats the hell out of you. You like Catherine Zeta-Jones? I don’t want some generic Welsh accent - I want the specific regional dialect (Abertwae, not that Tyddewi drivel). I’m going as Barnaby Jones, the fictitious detective portrayed by TV’s Buddy Ebsen. I never watched the show as a kid because the demo target was Women 89-95, so I had to do some research. What I've learned so far is that there were some disturbing episode titles:
“See Some Evil, Do Some Evil”
“To Denise, With Love And Murder”
“Divorce: Murderer’s Style”
“Forfeit By Death”
“Murder In The Key Of C”
“Duet For Dying”
“Death Is The Punchline”
“Venus As In Flytrap”
You’d think little old ladies wouldn’t want to be reminded of death, but if that’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get this Wednesday after 9:00 at:
