Stevie, Stevie,

I'm glad this was the one booted from the OWC. A comic attempt which could have been better though I did like Jeff as the zombie in a wheelchair (with a moldy boner!)and your cameo as the demon singing Beatles tunes. Other than that, not much to say.

Sorry Stevie, but I'm gonna have to file this under frikkin' awful.   Aside for the fact that this was a pisstake, it wasn't a good simply script. You can't just throw SS members names onto characters and expect it to work.

I did chuckle when you described Pia as 18, and mentioning that will probably get me killed...

You can rhyme the French word for 'to eat' with orange. Well, I can. Cos I'm Irish, people expect me to be leathered in leather.

I take it the Director has been listening to my pillow talk again.

I can safely say no one in the world but you could have written this, Stevie lad.

They say writing is therapeutic sometimes. In your case I would adjust to 'almost always'.

I got a few giggles out of it. Some good lines. I see your swearing skills have improved immensely lately. My fault partly, no doubt. You theiving little Ozzie git.

It's very silly. And very fun. And there ain't enough laughs in the world. So I like it.

Now I am going to Let It Be.. Naked without any clothes on.

I don't even know these people and lmao.

Really funny.  Sort of reminded me of a 30-Rock episode, with all the inside jokes.

I get the joke, annoying as it was. But y'know, if one were to take eight of the OWC and made a 'Tick O Treat' or 'Heavy Metal' 'Sin City' type of anthology movie? Then this sonofabatch would would be outstanding for a gag reel extra on a DVD-Blu Ray. It's kind of like a Kevin Smith rant, y'know. Not as colorful, but somewhere along those lines.

See? I'm trying to positive.

I think DJS has hit on something here.

If I get time I may write a Simply Sin City style script. The casualities will be huge.

And I'll be in charge. Sandra and Pia will be me bitches.

Er, sorry. You know what I mean.

DJS will be the fixer. I'll turn up at Stevie's to listen to some Scousers to chill. After I've killed some arseholes frequenting my boards.

I won't kill the sock. Or Balt. They deserve to live. Paid their dues.

However I think Don is a double agent. But I'm not sure yet.

Shite, this stuff writes itself. I'll be back...
