Visual conflation

I think my brain is starting to give way under the work stress this week. I caught sight of a sign out of the corner of my eye, advertising the next meeting of the Gastrointestinal Journal society, and for a brief shining moment I caught myself wondering why a group of doctors would be writing about GI Joe.

And now I’ve got a whole mental plotline for what’s sure to be a wildly unsuccessful animated series about a guy named Joe who writes with his gastrointestinal tract. He’ll have little morality plays about how chewing your food is the most important part of digestion, because “Gnawing is half the battle!”

Either that or the whole idea of a 12″ plastic GI Joe will be sullied forever when it’s discovered that someone named Joe is the recipient of an amazing new foot-long artificial stomach.
