Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Ill-Advised Holiday Boyfriends

A Jewish woman is constantly bringing the most awkward possible boyfriends to her family’s holiday celebrations. For the family Passover Seder, she brings an Egyptian guy she’s seeing. At Yom Hashoah, she brings her German boyfriend. For Hanukkah, she brings the Roman she’s dating. For Rosh Hashanah, she brings over the really old man who’s about to die that she’s going out with. For Yom Kippur, she brings a hypoglycemic. And for Jewish Christmas (they celebrate Christmas without any of the Jesus stuff), she brings an Orthodox Jew.

None of this is done intentionally. She just happens to be going out with these particular men at each of these times. But it sure leads to some awkward moments and crazy misunderstandings!

The only problem: is anyone really considered a Roman anymore? If not, for Hanukkah she could bring Roman Polanski. And Roman Polanski could give everyone a long lecture about how important it is for circumcision to be banned. Aaaawwwkwaaaard.
