“People ask me where I get my ideas. I always tell them, “Schenectady.” They look at me with confusion and I say, “Yeah, there’s this ‘idea service’ in Schenectady and every week like clockwork they send me a fresh six-pack of ideas for 25 bucks.” Every time I say that at a college lecture there’s always some schmuck who comes up to me and wants the address of the service.” Harlan Ellison.

Not what I was looking for, but it fits. I read a piece by him about where he got some of his ideas, there was a lot of sideslippy wordplay and loose thoughts, anyway. I can imagine him still ranting charmingly wherever he’s gone.

Enjoyable clip, thanks. I don’t imagine that woman appreciated what she was getting on the other end of that call XD
