Sycamore Solves a Good Percentage of the Cellar's Job Problems

elSicomoro · 03-18-2003, 09:20 PM

MODERATOR NOTE: This thread was originally titled "Sycamore solves his job problem...and Slang's too;" however, b/c of the direction in which the thread has gone, at the suggestion of Wolf, the title has been changed to one that is now more appropriate.

As you may have noticed, Slang and I have not had good luck in the job market lately. But I believe that I have the answer that could make both of us sickeningly rich:

Give the two of us a show on MSNBC.

It'll be just like Buchanan and Press, or Curtis and Kuby. Except more animated...we'll threaten each other, and maybe stage some fake fights.

Then after the show, we'll grab a cup of coffee.

Sound good, slang?

I'd certainly watch it, but ummmm ... I don't have much in the way of disposable income. I don't suppose you're looking for support staff? I don't have a union card, but I do know how to run a camera ... or I could be the bouncer, you know, like Steve on Jerry Springer ... pull Slang off yah on occasion ...

Without his guns, I could take slang...not an issue.

Interesting idea. A blend of Jerry Springer, C and K, Morton Downey Jr and This Old Gun.

Sweet. Is it cool if I fuck up the order every time? That way if the talk show thing doesn't work out, we can turn it into a wacky network TV sitcom.

Why do ya think I carry guns?

No! This is serious business here. We can't turn this into a complete debacle...just half of one.

Well ok, but I insist on wearing my Revo shades and the postman's cap for the show.

If you think I am bad at written communications, you'll really love my verbal skills. Maybe Cam can make some really big cue cards for me, you know, like the ones Bush uses.

If yah get too outta hand, I'll take yah ALL out, and it's MY show. I shall run it as a benevolent dictatorship, of course.

Who gets top billing?

elSicomoro · 03-18-2003, 09:46 PM

Slang: "Ah, shut up you liberal wimp!"

Syc: "Take that asshat off already, you backwater hick!"

elSicomoro · 03-18-2003, 09:48 PM

Me...b/c I came up with the idea, and b/c the other two shows similar to this concept have the conservative first.

And b/c I can drink you under the table.

How, exactly, do you plan on convincing the network to give you a show? No offense there, chief, but maybe you should look into a public access station. :)
