GBWC: Mummy Dearest

Ghostbusters West Coast: Mummy Dearest

2004--Timeline Year 22
First, an Egyptian mummy goes missing from the museum. Then a guy wrapped in bandages shows up at the mansion of red hot white rapper Zagnut...you think there may be a connection?
--------------------------------------------
I indulge in a little bit of satire in this one in the form of Matthew "Zagnut" Marshall, a misanthropic, sexist foul mouthed white rapper who's resemblance to Marshall "Eminem" Mathers is totally coincidental ;D Unlike Kyle Stevens, I prefer to use fake/satirical celebrities in my stories--I can do whatever I want to them

Despite my suggestion, Fritz did NOT name this story Word to Your Mummy

Does anyone else think that would have been a better name?

[EGBFan]

I'm not getting involved. And don't ask your mother either.

I wonder if Mummy puns are any better or worse in the south of England where we actually call our mothers Mummy (or Mum, when we get to be my age).

In hindsight, Al's probably right. I actuallly had only the vaguest plot idea ("I do something with a mummy going around screaming 'CUUUUUUURSE!!!' like in an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, 'Love Mummy' ") when I put down that name. By the time Ogre suggested the change, I'd already advertised it as "Mummy Dearest" so much I thought changing it would confuse people.

"Word to your Mummy" is clearly the superior title.

Perhaps if you ever do a follow-up?

[Jeremy Hicks]

Yes, please do.

[Fritz]

I am bumping this. Read it or the mummy will curse you.

Said follow up is now in the works. With that suggested title and everything.

;D
