Random Thoughts​

When People Remember Stuff You Said 35 Years Ago

PictureThe original line was: "I would prefer you address him as Dr. Jones."
​A recent event in Pittsburgh featured an appearance by Jonathan Ke Quan, better known to folks in my generation as either Data from Goonies or Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

All I could think about is how often he's asked to say the one-liners from those movies. That has to suck for him. His acting career fizzled out a few decades ago, and now he's just the guy who informs Indy that there are, in fact, no more parachute(s) aboard the plane.

Does he flat out refuse those requests? Does he fire a set of toy teeth into your crotch if you ask? Does he make a fast escape, shooting oil from the back of his shoes?

Jonathan, if you're out there, let me know. I'd love to know how the fame of Short Round has treated you over the years.

    My brain is a curious thing. It bounces from place to place, from the exceedingly strange to the terribly mundane. Every once in awhile, something will pop into my head that is just completely out of nowhere. Totally random.

    Hence, my "Randos" are random thoughts about different things that come straight from my addled brain onto the page. They are things I wonder about or things I need to have answered but don't know who to ask. Since I'm a writer, I feel compelled to write them down, but there really wasn't a forum to put them out anywhere.

    They are short little missives about different things I encounter, stuff that you can read and laugh at (or with) me and my observations. I hope you enjoy reading them!
