I'm not overly familiar with all the names spoofed here but that really doesn't matter.  I still felt as though I were in on the joke(s).  

You have a good eye for satire whoever you are but like the others I have to call you for not sticking to the genre and theme too closely.

Somebody had a hoot of a time writing this.
It's more of vignette than story.
And more comedy than drama.
But if you know the players, it's well worth the stretch.

I enjoyed the Balt part. Ravenous and off in the bushes to picnic his way. Ha ha.
I noticed Don got no CAPS in his intro, so I thought he wasn't going to utter a word. And then God spoke...

The part that really broke me up was Dan. Raw potatoes? That is hilarious. You had to figure it was
going to be raw or instant.

I wish there were a few physical descriptions of the characters.
But I guess it doesn't matter, because we have all probably formed an image of the writers in our mind's eye.
I mean, I wouldn't want Don being described as shorter than Dustin Hoffman.  Even if it were true. Haha.

The only thing missing was the food fight.  Or perhaps the barbecue brawl.  I fully expected Alan to show up just to antagonize Phil and then Brianne would step in and smack the anime crackers out of him.

All in all, this was spicy good ribbing and blistering on the nose to a chosen writer or two.

I don't have much to say about this except that it was damn funny!

The pace of the whole thing was so fast and full of events that I had to read it a couple of times and everytime I did, it became even more funny.

I loved it. I can actually see this happening. Whoever wrote this really had a grasp of everybodies online/writer's persona.

Great, fun read.

That was just funny. The Simply gags were priceless and all so spot on. If this weren't a drama exercise, we'd have a winner. Good thing this script was locked before it got too out of hand.  This one definitely feels like Bert (who was curiously missing from the cast except to "mod" it) was behind the madness.

Wow this is the first Simply "whatever" script I'm in! So, whoever wrote this, I thank you that you included the zombie pig eating out my entrails. That is my dream!

This whole scriptw as hilarious, and I would have laughed more but my sister was in my room and she would have gotten nosey and wanted to read, yet she would have no idea what would be going on. The Dan part was hilarious! I kept on laughing during it, but kind of quietly.

This was the funniest script I've read so far for the OWC, besides In A Hick Town. This was great! Good Job!

Not true "Artist formerly known as The Dead Walk 2 Nite". You were a driver in Simply The Godfather. I think you were killed by Kevan Craft.

And may I add that you have a really strange dream?

I must have not read that one yet. Where can I find the link to it?

It's a little long, but has been called a classic and required reading. It's under drama, but you can click here for Simply The Godfather. That's right, I got to pimp a script by request. While I'm at it, if you haven't read SimplyNoir, that's also a classic "Simply" script and the reason Bert and I got linked as suspicion for writing this one.

This was a funny little read. I've been in a few of these things and every time I'm considered a preacher...I don't think it's a bad thing, though.

Great job on getting everyone's personality's right!

So, I can't believe I didn't get pegged for this right off the bat.  Well, maybe some people saw it.  Glad everybody took it in the spirit intended -- although one of the "stars" of this show hasn't seen this yet -- and I wonder if they ever will.

I was a little nervous tossing it out there -- I don't always trust my judgement -- and almost brought George on board for just that reason -- but in the end I decided to fly solo on this one.

As far as "drama" goes, I had some gags in mind and figured I could shoehorn them into anything but a drama -- then Phil selected drama -- and I just figured screw it.

In my "dramatic" defense, I'll toss out the words of my buddy James -- who seemingly tapped into my skull and plucked out both of the things going through my head as I composed this:


Quoted from James McClung
...this was meant to go against the grain, especially considering the presence of the zombie pig...and to be fair, Simply Scripts can definitely feel like a drama in and of itself from time to time.


A few additional small things:

*  The author.  Nobody got that.  Al Nevatel -- I'll never tell -- get it?  A stupid little pun I added at the last minute.  Oh well.
*  Abe, always there with a ding, busts me on DON in caps.  Rookie mistake.  Perhaps he needs no introduction...?
*  Sean, I'm glad you were so pleased to have your guts eaten out.  The pig was an afterthought, actually -- if you look at the beginning of the story you can see where it was added in.

So thanks for looking -- those of you that did -- now I have a few more of these left to read, and I'll get to that...soonish.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

This is probably the only 'simply-script' that I've ever really liked.  I didn't like the other ones because they just barely touched the characters and those that they're based on.  The writer of this one knew everyone.  I thank you for leave Balt in the bushes.

I'm surprised that there was no mention of Andy, though....

"He grabs a brush and begins to slather his hot spicy meat."  Wow.  That brings back memories.

I was so sure George wrote this one and I did get the "AL Nevatel", I just thought it was George trying to be clever. I typed it into Google and it went to a phone company with a calling center or something like that. Since that's what he does for a living I was extra convinced he wrote it.

I've read it three times and it was even better the second and third time. You did really good on this Bert.

I'm going to read something of yours this week, because it seems to me you have grown as a writer just in the year I've been here. You are getting better and better. I'm close to calling you great even.

Excellent job!

I thought it was Bert at first but didn't want to say anything just in case. So I was right! ha ha ha.

And also, something he said in a thread when he deleted one of my threads sort of gave it away to me. ha ha ha ha ha!

Thanks for the comparison, Pia, but everyone knows that I am much, much funnier than George.  And I think you've already read everything I got -- even Better Days.

I thought Phil was gonna rip me to shreds for doing one of these -- I guess he's happy as long as I keep him in homebrews.

And Chris -- I thought you would spot this one as mine.  And I am glad you changed your screen name back.  You were the third one to change after I submitted this.  TDW2N and GBM are already out of date!

Well, in your defense, Bert, Chris' propensity to change his gang name is notorious as well as well documented. TDW2N hasn't changed his in so long, it came as a surprise and GBM is kinda new still, so who knew?

It's kinda funny, though. In most of these, I show up as rather crass and foul-mouthed - a total opposite of how I am in real life. Kinda weird.
