Be Careful What You Wish For...

We idled away a bit of Portland time with a few rounds of "ask for, hope for settle for," cf. link. My friend David suggests it would make a great name for a law firm, "Good morning, Askfor, Hopefor, Settlefor, how may I direct your call?"

David also offers a more accessible trimmed-down version, merging with "whom do you want to play you in the movie?" David revises to "whom do you want, and who do you fear?" David's own suggestion: want John Cusack, fear David Spade. For myself, I guess I'd have to say: want Gene Hackman, fear Ben Gazzara. Hm, is Bob Hoskins available?
