Sure there is a script of the day (or week, I forget) but it's probably a compter program selecting scripts at random and there's no prize.
What I'd like to see on the site is some kind of contest with a prize, either a cash prize (say half of all funds genereated from the contest .... or better ) or something I'd called "Simply Scripted" - a recording a the script read out and persomed by actors (which could be paid with some of the money genterated.)
Maybe I'm alone here but I think something like this once every 3-6 months would be a great idea.
The board members vote for their (possible 3) favourites (via a secret email to Don or something simular) and the top 5 go through to a "Page Off" - they are announced and everyone gets to read them and vote for their (1) favourite script to choose the winner.
Am I alone here?
Please post below if you'd enter one if this was started.
It is called the "One Week Challenge" and it happens about 4 times a year.
Each is different, some of the past winners have been recorded (audio provided by our friends at i-Script), but Don would never go for a cash thing (too much lawyer stuff involved)
Actually, thinking "outside the box" can get you tarred and feathered around here.
Wherever did you get the idea that you think “outside the box"? All I’ve ever heard from you was, “Let’s have a competition!” Nothing “outside the box” about that.
And while we’re on the subject of “thinking outside the box,” when, oh when, can we retire this worn out phrase?

Oh snap.
Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Actually the one I detest is "you threw me under the bus". Are there that many people getting run over by buses on a daily basis that this has become common phraseology?

Yeah, I hate that one myself, along with a few others:
"Can't wrap my brain around it." "It is what it is." "Drink the Kool-Aid." "At the end of the day..."
I detest the word n-word. It's a lame attempt by the media to be politically correct and, IMHO, it fails at it. If there's a racial incident, somewhere, someone will be paraphrased from, "And then he called me a nigger," to "And then he called me an n-word."
The media is allowed to directly quote sources without fear of being hit with obscenity charges by the FCC. For some reason, it would rather dilute the story than be accurate about it.

This is exactly what I thought of Matt when I read Phil's post. Funniest man working in comedy today by light years. Too bad his manager won't answer our queries...
