An Actual Conversation
In which I vastly improve a famous movie and book franchise.
Skippy: You know what would make the Harry Potter franchise awesome?
Wife: No idea. What?
Skippy: KISS.
Wife: Kissing? They already have that…
Skippy: No, KISS, all caps. The metal band.
Wife: You mean like on the soundtrack?
Skippy: No, although a Quidditch team taking to field to “Detroit Rock City” would be pretty bad-ass. I mean like, if the members of KISS were running Hogwarts.
Wife: ….?
Skippy: There are four members of the band, so each one could be in charge of a different house. And all of the robes could be replaced by leather, with chrome spikes.
Wife: …ok…
Skippy: Just imagine Dumbledore with the Starchild makeup, wearing black armor, throwing up the metal horns, while getting some Gene Simmons tongue action going.
Wife: No. No I’m not going to imagine that.
Skippy: And then Snape could be all “Your metal is weak Mr Potter” and-
Wife: Lalalalala! I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you! Stop ruining Harry Potter for me!
Skippy: You’re totally going to imagine the Dumbledore thing the whole time when the next movie comes out, aren’t you?
Wife: Shut up.

Been skipping your meds again, Skippy?

Would the Death Eaters be the “Lick It Up” era KISS, then? Y’know, when they lose the makeup, their credibility and their popularity? Or would that be more GWAR?
Also, GWAR in Harry Potter would be infinitely badass.

Skippy, it must be ***interesting*** to be married to you.
October 2nd, 2010 at 7:11 pm
Well, it certainly is ***interesting*** in his life!
October 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 pm
LOL! I’m thinking he just likes sleeping on the couch.

I’m too young to remember KISS but I know who they are and the Dumbledore is going to haunt my brain forever and bring back memories of that awful fanfic My Immortal.

IRON MAIDEN would be WAAAAAAY more epic dont you think im too young to have listened to them but i love em side effoct of my dad being a metal head

No, this doesn’t go far enough! Each of the Houses needs its own House (of Hair) Metal Band.
Nominations are now open to match a band with each House.

I nominate Slayer for Slytherin.
March 2nd, 2014 at 12:34 pm
Black Sabbath with Gryffindor, Nickelback with Slytherin because they both suck, and I have no idea for the other two
