I only changed my screen name to Jack Sparrow for that short time because my friend (refilms) was gonna change his to that and I felt like being a butt hole. lol. Anyway, I won't do it again. I stuck with Rapture for a long time and now I think I'm gonna just stick with Chris Harris for ever. -Chris [EDIT] - No...I don't think I'm God! lol. |

Can I just say that's one of the best typos ever? |

That's not a typo, it's the origin of a cult. |

Quoted from dogglebe 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 don't think this one captured very many personalities at all. Especially mine. First I was reduced to a dick with a silly speech impediment and now I'm an add-on for name value. Close to not being in them at all (Fingers crossed) Anyway this was pretty well written as far as shorts and the one week contest goes but I feel it suffers from a lack of character. The thing about the SS Scripts is that the writers actually tried to build character. I did enjoy it and found some comedic value even though these were supposed to be drama. No? |

Seems like these "simply" scripts will never die. This is one of the better ones, though. It's good to see some of the newer member in there too. I love what you did with Robinson. The potato salad metaphor is genius. I also liked Balt's appearance - the pay-off with the chicken was hilarious, if a little predictable. I like how you crammed a lot of "drama" into your dialogue to excuse all the comedy As usual, the writing is top-notch. A good read all round. Will the simply saga ever end??? |

Finally read it. I know I'm late, but better late than ever. I just had one of my biggest laugh in my life. I was laughing out loud by myslef in the train that takes me home. People surely thought I was some kind of loony. I didn't know who wrote this (now I know) but he has a peaky sense of observation and critcism. I recognized everyone's flaws (including mine - by the way, I didn't know my accent was that bad) but I regret some people are missing here. The most laughable parts for me was the parabol about Dan's potato salad and, most of all, the late appearence of Pepi. Thanks "Al" for that excellent moment of private jokes. I'll keep it for my times of blues. Michel |

I thought everybody had read this one that was going to. I forgot that you might be taking a look, Michel.
I didn't know my accent was that bad... |
Call that artistic license. The point is to be as offensive and stereotypical as possible -- without making any enemies -- and sometimes that's a fine line. Glad you liked it, Michel. I was hoping (and kinda' thought) that you would. Now I think there is only one more "star" yet remaining to read this.... |

Well, if he's the one I'm thinking of, looks like he has disappeared for a while. Am I right? Michel |

I hope I captured your pal Helio to your satisfaction! |

Bert,
This was an entertaining caricature piece. I now know some of the board members well enough to "get" it when they're speared. This is good humor that avoids being mean-spirited or vulgar. No easy task in comedy!
The pig business was quite a hoot. Nice work. Shows me what I find funny has some company out there. |

Bert- This was one of the better simplyscript scripts, one of the ones I missed seeing for awhile too. It was really funny and actually seemed to capture some peoples personalities in new ways, as opposed to all the others which tend to use the same gags for the same people. My only complaint is that it didn't include Simplyscripts freindly neighborhood higgonaitor. Oh well, probably would have just been a Jack Black reference anyway.

Hi Higgs. How did you manage to stumble across this old fossil?
I really appreciated your reminding me of it, though. I had to read it again myself to refresh my memory -- and was surprised how quickly these things become dated. I'll bet some of the newer members would be completely lost for about half of this.
It is funny how these "simplyscripts" eventually turned out to be snapshots of a given point in time -- a look into what was actually going on at the time they were written. A lot of the humor is of the "you had to be there" sort.
It's been a while since anyone has written one of these. I wonder if we will ever see one again? |
