These were something I noticed when Eponine pointed out the same thing to me on IRC last night and I sarted re-reading your stuff. It was kind of funny to me because I've never nicked anything off of you, and I know you've never nicked anything off of me, but this was a rather interesting coincidence:
A little while back the Peanuts gang was throwing this huge going away party. It was only like the biggest party ever. We all got invited.
Except for Jon. Maybe the invitation just got lost in the mail. Who knows?
Anyhow, we're all in our tuxes getting ready to go down to the limo and John's just sitting at the kitchen table in his boxer shorts eating cereal.
'Don't worry about me, guys,' he says. 'I'll probably just catch some Brady Bunch reruns and go to bed.'
Which apparently meant, 'I'll show up at the party stinking drunk at two in the morning and try to stab Snoopy with an icepick.'
It was kinda funny watching Lucy hold Jon down while Charlie Brown kicked him in the head. Hehe. She didn't pull it back that time.
I have a sneaking suspicion that we both lifted the idea behind this from the same place. One of the Bloom County books had a gag kinda like this, where cartoon characters were talking about some party that Bill the Cat had crashed. I remember Charlie Brown with this big black rectangle over his eyes talking about how Bill tossed a cinder block through the window of his Mercedes. So I kinda swiped this idea. I don't know if you read that, too.
