This morning's bwuh thought

So while I was in the bathtub, I was thinking about writing, as always, and I was bouncing plots around, and somehow I ended up thinking about a villain whose sidekick was a trick-roping cowboy.

No, I have no idea where this came from. I was mesmerized for a full minute, and then suddenly realized how cracky it was.

It's no weirder than whichever Bond villain had the guy who threw a bowler hat. You might be onto something!

Oddjob, I think his name was. And yeah, I'm torn between thinking it's insane and thinking it's brilliant. *snort*

In Marvel comics there's a trio of bad guys; a thug, a conman, and a trick-roping cowboy. I forget their names, but they've been around for yonks.

Husband couldn't remember their names either, sadly. :(

That really is an interesting combo, though. Hmm.

I get my best writing ideas in the shower ^_^

Heh, it could be a cowboy dressed in all white, so no one expects him to be with the villain!

hee! I take a long bath every morning, and the disconnect from the computer/reading/everything else means I actually have time to put together thought patterns and concepts that I normally don't have time for...

A trick-roping cowboy in white! I doubt that's ever been seen before in fanfic, seriously. Well, at least in non-Western fanfic.

Mag7! There is a red herring murder suspect given in the way of a cross-dressing carnival cowboy and her sidekick is a trick-riding/roping cowboy. Yknow, now that I write that out, it really does sound cracky, haa!

That is an awesome plot, seriously, and I love that Mag7 used it! Wow. Intriguing!!

Cracky? Or just kinky? Think of all the possible rope-bondage PWPs...

Oh yeah, I could definitely go there, lol! Sadly, I don't know if anyone else would accompany me...

suddenly realized how cracky it was.

And this is a problem because...? ;-)
