Genre: Legends/folk tales/fables (this is a genre(s), right?)
Title: The Hamburger Theory and Other Useless Tales
Estimated publication date: 2060
There have been a couple of instances on this blog where I've described the silly theories I've come up with over the years. I've settled on the label 'pre-theory' for these semi-insights into the human condition. Wouldn't it be great to assemble these all in one place for the people of the future? (No? Oh. Well...)
The catch for this collection will remind longtime readers of the Lost In Translation bracket, the 'Make America Debate Again' series, or the 'Hitting the Pods Button' post. Instead of worrying about hammering out all my comments in a straight-ahead fashion, I'll make my point using a (sort of) clever gimmick. For the most part, the theories I'll introduce in this hypothetical book would use some sort of short story constructed as a legend or fable to express the idea.
Full chapters for this book are probably close to done. The problem is the volume. I'm sure I'll cook up a few more useless theories over the next few weeks/months/years/decades and, eventually, have enough to form into a coherent collection.
