Alrighty then!
Here's today's thought-provoking effort:
If the four members of Hard Core Logo were to play the roles of Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty, and Lydia Bennett in a film adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice", which punk would play Lizzie? Here's my casting, please do give me yours.
Lizzie- Joe Dick
Jane- Billy Tallent
Lydia- Pipefitter
Kitty- John Oxenberger
I got into a heated debate with the SO on the subject; the SO feels strongly that John Oxenberger should get the role of Lizzie. But I believe Lydia is simply not an intelligent enough role for Joe.
Food for thought...
Or, you could just read this.

Billy Tallent was in serious lust. Maybe more.
Joe Dick wasn't happy about it.
Joe was a ghost now, and he'd been annoying lately. He didn't interfere when Billy slept with JC Chasez, on the theory (as he explained at great length) that a one night stand was always understandable. But when Billy took JC to the movies three weekends in a row, including one film *in French with subtitles*, Joe started showing up in horrible places like the shower, and doing the dripping-with-gore-from-the-exit-wound thing.
The gore thing was particularly irritating because it had taken Billy two years to train him out of it the first time. Billy'd walked through him whenever he started to speak, which made Joe hysterical with rage. Then Billy had ignored him and done the lalalala-can't-hear-you routine, plus talked at length about what a better lyricist Henry Rollins was. So Joe had mellowed with death, and things were, if not tranquil, at least bearable.
Not any longer, though.
"Bill. Bill. Billiam. William fucking Tallentless. I'm talking to you, you fucker. The guy's a pop star, shaves his friggin' chin into a *strip*. It's just sad, Billious my boy. You need real sex. You need Ghost Sex."
Billy really, really liked JC. Who always smelled like cinnamon, and understood about not wanting to eat much. Who had a full, beautiful mouth and loved giving head. Who laughed like a girl and loved to be held. Who made him feel strong in a way he'd never thought he could feel by hiding behind Billy when fans started screaming the time they'd (well, JC'd) been recognized at an all-night diner. Who told stories even more crazy than Joe's.
It might be time to call an exorcist.
He went into Catholic churches for the first time in his life, and he was terribly disappointed to discover that it was just about impossible to find a priest who would perform an exorcism. JC had a friend who called himself a shaman, but Joe laughed at him the whole time, pretending to take hits off the sage bundle the guy was burning, and following Jayce around doing a disturbingly accurate imitation of his wide-eyed credulity.
When Joe started showing up while Billy and JC were having sex, though, the point of no return was reached. It was time to fuck or be fucked. Or, well, *not* be fucked, which was the problem. Because who could get it on with their dead best friend making weird, bloody faces at them? Joe needed to learn his place in the hierarchy of existence.
Undead bastard was going down.

Okay, I admit this is getting a little weird. But Joe *is* undead, I'm sure of it.
