Mamma Mia

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"An arCHAEologist", I said and Miss Cheesely shook her head in response, signalling incomprehension. My young mind was still struggling with polysyllabic words so I tried a substitution of phonemes and answered her again : "An ARCHaeologist".
"Oh, an archaeologist?", she asked, as I patted myself on the back for getting it right and made a mental note of the correct pronunciation, "Why would you want to become one, li'l Lampooner? Archaeologists spend hours out digging in sunny climes to find dirty old bones, y'know."
"Becoming an archaeologist gets me closer to mummies, Miss Cheesely. It feeds my need for mummies."
"Mummies?"
"I love mummies. It must be the Oedipus Complex inside me."
Miss Cheesely sighed. I hadn't been paying attention in the psychology classes she said, and Freud would be turning in his grave, she hypothesized.
"That's factually incorrect", I replied, "Even for a hypothesis. Freud was in fact cremated. His ashes would be swirling in an urn would be more appropriate", I pointed out.
"Right", she said, "Anyway, your penchant for mollycoddling mummies seems-"
"I fear it is more than mere mollycoddling, Miss Cheesely."
She stared at me through her glasses. "Okay, this um.. love for mummies suggests necrophilia."
Necrophilia. I liked the sound of that word. I said it aloud, wondering if I got the phonemes right, and as Miss Cheesely nodded, realized that I did and made a mental note of the pronunciation.
"But why mummies?", she asked, "Wouldn't the cadavers at the Biology department be better partners, for want of a better word?"
"Cadavers?", I scoffed. "Mummies hit a hypothetical eleven on the necrophiliac hotness scale, Miss Cheesely. Think deadness as hotness and you can't get deader than a Mummy. Mummies are vintage death."

Hm... I still think there's a degree of hotness associated with how good the corpse actually looks.

About This Blog
The Loony Lampoonist serves to parody, spoof and satirize everything that needs to be parodied, spoofed and satirized. Due to the fictional nature of this electronic journal, any anecdotes appearing here ever so often that seem to be personal in nature, would suffer from the effects of conflicting personalities, the creation of fictional events and the inclusion of non existent characters who did not make it to the big league in the author's literary works. Thus, the Loony Lampoonist is also a purgatory for characters and ideas that have missed the limelight.
