Think I'm gonna use that old Aussie urban legend about the "Creeper in the Cutoffs." You play Helter Skelter backwards while chugging a Fosters and the Creeper appears on your doorstep looking for a new pair of Daisy Dukes.
Yeah I've heard that! Apparently Seattle has a new urban legend too: Malcolm Butler actually tripped and the Seaslugs won the Super Bowl! Admittedly it was in an alternate universe but I guess the 12th Man will try anything.

I also heard about that old Niners Urban Legend...that they were a good team...many fucking years ago!!!!
Chris, When you generate your PDF for submission DON'T put your real name on the title page, just leave the author/screenwriter space blank.
Spoofs, satire, comedies or whatever are fine. A pisser is a pisstake, which is generally regarded as a deliberate gesture of disrespect for both the craft and peers when X pages of flippant drivel are submitted just to waste our time. It's tantamount to a big "FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!", which is not appreciated.
So, be funny, but don't be disrespectful to others.
Before anybody says anything, before the idea fully came to fruition, Don had told me that we had previously done a One Week Challenge that dealt with urban legends.
Hasn't been the first time some themes have been done again. Won't be the last.
I seriously think it's the best OWC we every had - and I wasn't around the other Urban Legend one... so, Sean, you rock - very nice, thanks.
I wrote one in the past, submitted it to MP and it went down well by the way. I'll go ahead and read Libby's link then.
I wasn't around at that OWC either. Can't remember what i was doing at the time. But I didwrite a short based of an urban legend before that OWC and the OWC happened shortly after the short was filmed.
It's funny though. I was studying up on Rock N Roll Urban Legends earlier today because a lot of ninkompoops were ranting about Katy Perry's Super Bowl antics these past few days.
After looking through Google I can't find any urban legends that aren't meant to be scary.
The one I wrote was about a bday surprise. A guy who got very upset when his wife and daughter forgot about his birthday. So he answers positively to his secretary's invitation to go to her place and celebrate. The secretary leaves for a min and he removes his pants. THen the secretary, his wife and daughter and mother reappear with a cake.
Maybe if you find that one online there'll be a list of others as well. I'll look for it too.

Thank you very much for that advice. Simply adding 'humorous' to the search has yielded some results. I'll try other search terms now too.
