I need a story for a television show.

Wait. You did see the buffalo hunt sequence. Right?

you get the money, I will listen to you. That's Hollywood. Money talks,
anecdotal opinions walk.

So why did you ask us for our thoughts? Did you think this was
the "billion dollar screenwriters newsgroup"? G

But all of us know you did Pez, and we gotta wonder why
YOU did this as a comedy instead of just deadpan serious.
I think a lot of us looked up the cartoon for the chuckle...

Geez, John, sit on a whoopie cushion once in a while...
I'll tell you, if I see you at the gliderport and catch you
right before you sit down for lunch, we're gonna have
one helluva a laugh... ;O

I did not ask for thoughts. I asked for stories. I have been thinking about
this for a very long time. I was caught unawares by their request.

Come on, Mark, you know this one: Pez is for us, not the folks outside
the sport. Pez is entertainment for the already hooked(make that the
_really_ hooked. You have to be in the sport for several years to really
know what's going on with Pez.

Yes, probably true. I suppose I laughed so damn hard at Pez I was
secretly hoping John would make "Pez, the Movie."

The "Caddyshack's" work because a LOT of people know golf.
I guess "Down Periscope," the comedy about the submarine,
didn't do well because the subject matter wasn't widely known.

OK, OK, I get the point...sigh...

Ladies and Gentlemen:

(Snip)

So either come up with an adventure or go out this weekend, land out in a
frozen wasteland, survive by eating your parachute, hike out to
civilization, loose two fingers to frostbite and come home a wiser man or
woman. (Do women get wiser or is that just they are?)
