Forbes released their list of the highest-paid men in Hollywood this week, but rather than dwell on the negatives — such as George Lucas topping the list with $170 million in the year of Indiana Jones And The Extreme Averageness, or Jerry Bruckheimer earning $100 million for some weird combination of Pirates carryover / CSI Franchise / Armageddon DVD sales — I simply want to mention one tiny silver lining:
Law & Order mastermind Dick Wolf earned $70 million last year!
I’ve made the request before on BWE and I’ll take this opportunity again — we need to work the expression “Dickwolf” into modern-day insult vocabulary. Even if it only lasts a year, six months, I don’t care; we have to take advantage of this greatest of names before L&O goes off the air (so we only have until the year 5000)
Here’s an example exchange.
Friend 1: We should probably get to the concert at least an hour early.
Friend 2: Yeah, we should probably get there like an hour early cause it’s gonna get packed.
Friend 1: I just said that, Dickwolf.
Friend: Oh, hah, sorry.
See how easy it is? Let’s make this happen, people.
