There Are No Wrong Answers When Brainstorming Ideas For Homecoming Themes

June 2, 2010

Paul Farnsworth: “Fists of Fury”

Mrs. Benson: “That’s great, Paul. I really like your impulse to accommodate our students of Asian heritage.”

Brianna Rush: “To the Moon”

Mrs. Benson: “Excellent. We could build a paper mache moonscape on the stage and dress up a monkey in a little cosmonaut outfit.”

Temple Salvadaras: “All Quiet on the Western Front.”

Mrs. Benson: “Interesting. A period theme.”

Angel McKinnon: “Dragon’s Blood.”

Mrs. Benson: “I see, like a Renaissance Faire meets sci-fi theme.”

Devon Stooley: “Tits and Titties!”

Mrs. Benson: “Great. A celebration of femininity and colloquialisms.”

Shauna Birmingham: “What about This is fucking stupid, you crazy dike?”

Mrs. Benson: “Okay, now we’re getting into something of a meta-theme. It’s a bit tricky, but very avant garde.”

Levi Thompson: “Chernobyl.”

Mrs. Benson: “Another Russian theme!”

Ravi Kamadala: “Vicars and Vicodin.”

Mrs. Benson: “Ravi, that’s just completely unexpected and wholly original. Not to mention alliterative.”

CeCe McGrady: “Seven Black Cocks.”

Mrs. Benson: “Oh, is that like a take on Snow White?”

CeCe McGrady: “What?!”

Aaron Potomac: “We could base the entire thing on Neil Young’s song ‘Cortez the Killer’ and make it a kind of protest homecoming.”

Mrs. Benson: “We could call the Homecoming King ‘Montezuma.’”

Jolean Davis: “How about A Night in Paris?”

Mrs. Benson: “Now that’s just stupid, Jolean. Where’s your head?”
