Not at all. Just being extremely facetious.

Yes, we should overhype this.  I'm tempted to make a banner in my signature that flashes the title.  I'll call it #748.

My Gosh!  This is brilliant.  Don'll never catch on...

BTW, Don, nice one on catching the typo there. I had that coming, I know. I can accept that. Interesting how the revision history just happened to show up for that one, huh?

*shakes head* 747... You know Curse told me the 'twist' that it had. You all wanna know it?

No.  I contend that one day -- some day -- we will see it.

Really.  I think that.

Haha. If you say so.

Someday, I think everyone who Curse gave pieces of his plot to should actually write this Edsel and see what we come up with. I remember some of the twist he told me once upon a time...it's probably different from the one you know.

Those monkeys can get pretty wicked at times. You should see what they did to Hamlet...

After reading what Phil said on his "Burnout" thread about a "new audience" for some of the older works, I thought maybe this one was due for a little bump, also -- something I don't really do to my own stuff -- but I'll make an exception for this one.

Especially since the references to #747 are so timely now.

Seems like there's been a ton of new members over the past coupla' months, and many of them might well have missed this one.

Great idea. They need to read the classics.

I still read this one occasionally just for fun. The collaboration did it good. Two warped senses of humor on one script. Gotta love it. I still laugh.

I don’t know why I didn’t read this earlier, but in a way I’m glad I didn’t. I would have missed a lot of the jokes simply by not knowing the characters. I really, really enjoyed it and I bet the two of you had a great time writing it.

I was pleased to see that all my favorite people/characters from Simply Scripts were in this. I won’t mention any names, those of you who are my favorites already know you are, so there’s no need to.

SPOILERS:

Nice job on the Noir feel.

I guess all those #747 posters were wrong since the surprise release turned out to be spring of 2006.

I love Wesley’s VW Minibus! Whoever came up with the names for that one did a great job, hilarious! My only problem with the VW minibus was that, unless it’s seriously souped up with a Porsche 930 turbo engine or such, there’s no way this thing is going to do anything but sputter forward in a slow, smoky, smelly fashion.

I also love all the ha-ha’s…………haha

I think I saw a picture once of Heretic in the pic section. Nice looking young man, but would he be able to carry a desert eagle? That one’s a whopper!

I really liked you George as a fierce typer. That’s how I think of you, fierce reader as well and I envy you so. Then you turned into James Bond and that’s kind of how I picture you. A fierce reading/typing Pierce Brosnan.

Bert, a haggard looking man? Maybe all that studying you’ve done lately.

I think all of us would stare dreamingly into Breanne’s eyes and say “You are the greatest writer” (yes, I’m a fan too).

Phil with the hot girl with a Pug face and the lolling tongue, that was a little sick. Funny, but sick. Somehow I can’t picture him wasting a good brew by shaking it and drenching someone with it. Unless it’s some hot young girl with a Pug face that he can slurp it up from her naked body. (hope he doesn’t read this)

I think I got most of the jokes except for the Kevie Revie and Stifler ones. They were before my time, I think.

You guys did a really nice job collaborating here. You both have your own distinct styles of writing and in my opinion they blend very well together. You both complement each other’s weakest areas with each other’s strongest.

I’m not trying to douse you guys with a bunch of honey here just to make you feel good, but I think the two of you work really great together and would very much like to see more co-writing from you. I’m sure others would as well….
  

Glad you liked it, Pia. We did have a lot of fun with it. The VW Minibus was Bert's idea so genius perks to him on that one.

The Kevin/Stifler thing has to do with a kid who is still around here last seen as XoKevXo or something like that. Though he denies it and the thread is gone, we believed he was behaving as a sock puppet on his script thread "The A-List." He and Stifler would talk back and forth. Stifler would proclaim how good it was and ask about twists and plot points and give suggestions and such. It was amusing. He was famous for his one line LOL responses, his "huge twists", as well as his obsession with Paris Hilton. Actually, on one page of the Fempiror Chronicles thread, Stifler left a response that gave Fempiror a good grade and then he pimped his own series, including the inevitable "huge twist."

Glad you enjoyed it. And I am quite a fast typer.

I'm glad you liked it too, Pia.

I enjoyed working with George.  He is every bit as gracious, clever, and long-winded as you might imagine.  Some of the minibus names (some of the better ones, in fact) are his, btw.

It occurs to me just today how close "SimplyNoir" is to "Starbuck Starr".  This isn't a plug -- they really are -- say them out loud and you'll see.

Weird.  I wonder if that was a subconscious thing?
