Query as Folk

At the blog called Query Letters I Love you can find such gems of human inspiration as:

Deerly Beloved: A Comedy.

When a deer crashes her wedding, a jappy New York advertising executive must go into the Connecticut woods and retrieve her wedding ring (which is around its antler). With her womanizing sports agent fiancé in traction and 48 hours until deer hunting season begins, she turns to a local bumbling policeman for help.
Maybe it's because I've worked in a development office and read many many bad queries, but I find this site hilarious. Here's another priceless (blue) moment from a pitch called CONFESSIONS OF A SEX-CRAZED TEEN-AGE VIRGIN:

Patricia Venable is a sexy, seductive African-American high school teen-ager who takes the role of Cordelia in Shakespeare's play, "King Lear" in a neighborhood theatre group.

...

Finally, in the end she overcomes her fears and insecurities and goes on to play a great role. Film includes some discussions of human sexuality from the French deconstructionist philosophers, especially their bizarre and quixotic theories on masturbation. Some female masturbation scenes, a homoerotic love scene; no explicit sex.

SOUND QUERY ADVICE: Stumbled across this. Not bad.
