Hey, thanks to all of you guys for reading this little metaphor effort of mine.

I know it was very hard you know who wrote it, I'm sorry about that, fellas. I'm sorry George Willson if SS's members confounded it as a George Willson writing.

Just as well it wasn't a challenge entitled At the end of a Indian family barbecue! It wouldn't be impossible!

This one was a little weird. It reminded me a little of GBM's but is even weirder since his had human characters. The talking hamburgers were way out of left field. Amusing but, still, very bizzare. Nevertheless, I don't think there's much harm in calling this a drama. It's humorous but I think it's safe to say that the hamburgers' plight is dramatic (to them, anyway). And you had your little moral at the end as well. Sometimes life doesn't turn out the way you want it to. I liked that and it definitely gave the story a dramatic flare, even with talking hamburgers.

Don't know what to think of this one, exactly. Not sure if I liked it or didn't like it. I'm on the fence. In any case, the story certainly stands out and I'd say that's a good thing. Good job with that, Helio.

Hi James

Thanks for your comments. I’m glad to know you were just one to mention the metaphor in the script, maybe the others noticed it but didn’t mention about.

I don’t know if I achieved a satisfactory result using two hamburgers to be the messengers. I’m not sure if I choose other type of instruments to say that, like humans for example I did succeed. I think the hamburgers were good doing this type of job, weren’t they? Another thing was about didn’t extend more the script. Sometimes my scripts finish so soon because I’m afraid if I continue writing it becomes boring and unneeded, do you know what I mean? So, thanks again for the reading!

Helio, mon ami, I knew it was yours. What a nice story, looking a bit like a commercial from the 50's. Very good attempt to be original.

Michel

PS: what is "chit"? (LOL)

Merci, Michel!

Yeah...well...think with me mon ami, "dog chit" is better than "dog xit", but certainly both of them are worth than "dog shit", aren't they?
