Overheard at Table 3: Notes for Movie Idea

Movie idea

While listening to the song, "Killed Myself When I Was Young."

- man goes looking for the Christ child.

- picks up Squiggly

Dialogue: 

    what's your name?

    Just call me Squiggly

    Squiggly?  That's a name?

    It's more like who I am.  I was taking a college class one time and the prof was all like about sexual identity and everyone was saying that they were straight or gay or bi or curious and I just said I'm squiggly and everyone was like 'oh yeah I feel that way sometimes too' ... you know, squiggly?

    So I guess I'm just calling you Squiggly.

    And what are you?

    Simeon.

    Simian.  Like an ape.  Or a "MANLY MAN!"

The genesis of the story The Advent Calendar of T Harold Hark.

I don't know if I ever used these notes in the draft of that novel, but I should review them and see if they fit and can be used in next draft.
