I hope the problems with the boards didn't slow people down too much.  Just a reminder that the OWC scripts (genre: drama, theme: perfume) is due tonight at midnight.

Looking forward to reading everyone's scripts.

I wish I knew about this sooner...

Wait a minute, something's not right.

Wasn't the theme 'Gatorade' to tie in with Don's new product placement deal?

This is going to be the worst OWC ever.

Don wanted to change it to Gatorade, but I overruled him.  The theme is perfume.

You have six hours.


Phil

Quoted from dogglebe You have six hours.

Done.

Of course, a lot of readers are going to wonder why people are drinking perfume and then excelling at sporting events, but what the hell, I'm not a miracle worker.

Quoted from Shelton Of course, a lot of readers are going to wonder why people are drinking perfume and then excelling at sporting events, but what the hell, I'm not a miracle worker.

And this is why I don't think we should have these open OWC's.  People post script that don't apply to anything.


Phil

Wait, they're supposed to be shorts? Mine was 42 pages.

Uh oh.

A lot of people tend to go over the limit, Mike, but I think you set a record.

Don e-mailed me and told me that, due to the website problem, he only received 16 entries.  Still, there's a little time left.


Phil

I can't believe I only found out about this now.. Like, right now,. This sucks.

The number and quality of entries has been pretty pathatic.  Pathatic has also been the vast number of loser excuses for non-participation, e.g., "It wasn't announced."  "The discussion board has been down."  "The main site keeps coming up with 'internal server error' every time I visit."

Just because I didn't actually, like post the theme and genre of the challenge is no excuse for non-participation.  

And, mikep.  Six seven-page entries under the fake names of aikep, bikep, cikep, dikep, eikep, fikep?  Did you really think you could fool me?  You very nearly did, but then I noticed that all six scripts made gratuitous use of certain words like, 'and', 'the', and 'INT'.  I mean, what are the chances of six different scripts using that three combination of words.  

mikep is on super secret double probation.  If anyone tells mikep he is on super secret double probation, you will be put on double super secret double probation (with a twist of lime).

Also, due to the number of issues with the site, this month's OWC entries won't be posted until early 2012.  

Oh, I changed my mind, the topic is "paisley" not "perfume".

Don

Quoted from Don Oh, I changed my mind, the topic is "paisley" not "perfume".

Done.

Of course, a lot of readers are going to have a problem with the team excelling at major sporting events while showcasing the worst uniforms in the league, but what the hell, I'm not a miracle worker.

Quoted from Don Oh, I changed my mind, the topic is "paisley" not "perfume".

Oh, sorry, I meant "parsley"  not "paisley".  My bad.  

Quoted from Don Oh, sorry, I meant "parsley"  not "paisley".  My bad.

Oh, goddamnit!  I could go along with all of these other ridiculous ideas, but I draw the line at people having to excel at sporting events with minty fresh breath.

That's just insane!

Quoted from Grandma Bear Okay, change the title to Parsley and I'll make it about a serial killer with an amazing taste for parsley!!!!! Geez!

New rules.

Genre:  Musical
Theme:  Guy who wears two pairs of glasses...at the same time!

I got 55 mins. Can we please settle this so I can write it and submit it?
