It says "Why, Why, Zed" - have you noticed?

What is it? A movie quote maybe?

RUSH - YYZ - a classic song

I see signs that suggest "The Kid" is running this one. I'm ready for lesbian themes!

Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.

If it's a YYZ and written like Why Why Zed - might be about codes ciphers, cryptography and that guy with the super long name.

Quoted from MarkItZero I see signs that suggest "The Kid" is running this one. I'm ready for lesbian themes!

BWOOOOHAHA!!!!  Get ready, ladies and gentlemen...

Well, this should be interesting...  

Who is "The Kid"?

Very interesting. The Rush song was on their album 'Moving Pictures' and from Wikipedia this:

YYZ is the IATA airport identification code of Toronto Pearson International Airport, near Rush's hometown. The band was introduced to the rhythm as Alex Lifeson flew them into the airport. A VHF omnidirectional range system at the airport broadcasts the YYZ identifier code in Morse code. Peart said in interviews later that the rhythm stuck with them.[1] Peart and Geddy Lee have both said "It's always a happy day when YYZ appears on our luggage tags."[2]

The piece's introduction, played in a time signature of 5
4, repeatedly renders "Y-Y-Z" in Morse Code using various musical arrangements.[3][4]

Quoted from Stumpzian Who is "The Kid"?

I am "The Kid"!!!!!  

Just a note...

The "Why, why Zed" thing was not written by me.  My response to Khamanna about the RUSH song was simply my take at what it may have been in reference to, as back in the day, when they performed that song live, that's how they pronounced it.

My plans for this OWC are...oh wait...I can't tell you yet.

SHORRY!!!!

The "Why, Why, Zed" was me.  It was a reference to instrumental rock piece, YYZ, by the Canadian band Rush which highlights Neil Peart the drummer for the band.  Drummer.  Drum.  "A drum, a drum! Macbeth doth come," which usually signals that an OWC is coming.  Like Macbeth.  

Jeff, it must've been tough to tear yourself away from your numerous women to oversee this OWC.

The KID ... OMG ... gonna be horror ..must have at least two sexy ladies and at least one orgasm. No orphans...no not for this one. Blood and guts... will get you extra points. hahaha

I'm in.

I hope it's not horror

Quoted from eldave1 I hope it's not horror

Well, traditionally, the October OWC is Halloween related and most of the time sort of horror'ish although we've had family friendly horror and such. But, who knows, this is Jeff's show this time. It's possible we could get a lesbian rom-com, in which case you pretty much can't say you're out because of horror.  

And you know....I'm such a Halloween/horror fan, I assumed this was the October OWC. Talk about jumping the gun!!!  Carry on. Never mind me...  

Quoted from SAC Jeff, it must've been tough to tear yourself away from your numerous women to oversee this OWC.

Yeah, no money coming in for a couple of weeks for some of the dingier Arizona brothels. Then again they probably throwing parties as we speak  

Perps will actually be able to read my pdf s now as I have a new laptop! And I was able to transfer my faithful Sophocles software ( also grateful to Baltis for it years back) over so looking good. Ironically I hadn't done any writing recently but was brainstorming an old Beatles script idea - happens every OWC lol!

Ooooh a OWC is on the horizon. Time to get my writing lube ready.

Woah, Jeff is overseeing this one? Didn't see that coming. And I was wondering why he's nice to me - he has to.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw Ooooh a OWC is on the horizon. Time to get my writing lube ready.

Lube you say?? I'm guessing that's where I've been going wrong. Bring it!!

Good to see my radar still works and I correctly picked up on the YYZ...although I didn't get the association with the "a drum, a drum" part.

Stevie, my friend, I'm seriously hoping peeps will be able to read your script, but it's not the software that worries me - it's your writing!  HA!  

Looking forward to this and hoping everyone enjoys the challenge theme and parameters.

Thanks for taking us on the journey through that crazy train of thought. More twists and turns than a carnival fun ride, I felt like projectile vomiting halfway through. Not for the faint of heart.  

Last three OWC's were major duds from me. They included: A girl with a toaster on her arm facing off against a killer Nazi, passing myself off as a Brit with a script about a horse who dies from the stink of a fart, and a killer pot plant.

Needless to say, looking to redeem myself!

Hmm...time to get back into action!

Projectile vomiting?  Why?  The RUSH vid?  I sure hope not.

Yes...redemption can be yours, my friend.  I have just the challenge for all to redeem themselves.

One suggestion: don't make too many parameters. Like that last one Cornetto ran. I remember coming up with ideas and then realizing I only checked 7 out of 8 boxes, so I didn't enter.

Quoted from Dreamscale Projectile vomiting?  Why?  The RUSH vid?  I sure hope not.

I'm Canadian, it's my patriotic duty to appreciate RUSH.

I was strictly speaking about Don's train of thought.

AH...good to know.  Hopefully Triumph, as well!

I LOVED your killer pot plant script!

Coming up on about 24 hours...or so.

I will hopefully release info a little early this time around.

Hope you peeps enjoy the challenge and theme.  IMO, I see an awful lot of completely different scripts this go'round.

Enter...enjoy...read and comment..please...  

Quoted from Pale Yellow I LOVED your killer pot plant script!

I actually remember that you did, mainly because you were, like, the only one who liked it! But, out of the three scripts I mentioned, Killer Weed was my fav, too.

Going to Vegas Sunday through Wednesday so maybe I can write "Jeff Goes to Vegas" on the way there and back.  Now that recreational marijuana is legal there, maybe I'll find myself with all sorts of inspiration. Either that or I'll be too laid back to care if I don't get it written!

Gary

damn, this is bad timing for me, but I'm still gonna have to try and power through it.  these things are too fun to miss

Nooooo! I have stuff to do this week!

I'll do my best to take part Jeff. Unless it actually turns out to be about lesbians, then I probably won't.  

Quoted from Grandma Bear I'll do my best to take part Jeff. Unless it actually turns out to be about lesbians, then I probably won't.

Only requirement is that each script must contain at least 100 lesbians.  

So ... 100 ... thesbians ... Got it.

Well, that's the cast of a major motion picture right there.

I'll be posting the challenge parameters a little early tonight - probably in about 4 hours from now.

You must be really anxious to screw with us. You're going to be snickering and cackling all week long, aren't you?

Are we getting the logline/pro writer feedback this time?? Not fussed if we do or don't, just to know how anal I've got to be with the log in case I annoy Carson again.

Quoted from Cameron Are we getting the logline/pro writer feedback this time?? Not fussed if we do or don't, just to know how anal I've got to be with the log in case I annoy Carson again.

This will be your basic, no frills, OWC.  

Cheers Don,

No such thing as a "no frills" OWC though, they're always pretty thrilling

Quoted from Cameron Are we getting the logline/pro writer feedback this time?? Not fussed if we do or don't, just to know how anal I've got to be with the log in case I annoy Carson again.

You'll be getting my Pro-Writer feedback, so that's a pretty sweet deal, right?  

Quoted from Cameron Are we getting the logline/pro writer feedback this time?? Not fussed if we do or don't, just to know how anal I've got to be with the log in case I annoy Carson again.

If I'm allowed to, I'll try to arrange that once a year.

Other members running the OWC are encouraged to do things their way...obviously Jeff is a no frills kind of guy.  

Quoted from Grandma Bear ...obviously Jeff is a no frills kind of guy.

I got your frills right here!!!  

I will be posting the challenge very shortly.

I will do my best to answer questions, but will be busy tonight, and really, based on how I'm laying this out, things should be pretty straight forward (but I know peeps will ask questions...and more questions...and more questions...and...
