El, Brilliant.

Syc, I think this is a LOT better than Sycamore runs for mayor of Phila ... you were in danger of actually winning that one, given the level of competition, and if you win, you actually have to do all the mayoral stuff for the next four years, even if you do it poorly, you still have to make a show of it. (It might have been cool, though, locating the new stadium complex somewhere like chestnut hill, mebbe on the old Rizzo property?)

Don't forget ... Ciara could do hair and makeup. And if you do the show, there's nothing stopping YOU from going for the John Deere Green with Yellow Trim discussed elsewhere.

You're right, Wolf. I'd actually have to do real work with that gig. And then I would have had probs holding onto Griff, since he's not a city guy.

You know, The Sycamore and Slang Extravaganza would be an appropriate forum for the poetry deal.

(Actually, I would have slapped those stadiums on top of the old Byberry State Hospital, off Woodhaven Rd. Lots of open space, easy access to 95 and the Tpk. Fuck Somerton...whiny bitches.)

Advertising should be relatively straightforward from the outset. We start by approaching companies whose products we are already using ... Krups, Federal, Glock, Bic, etc. If those deals fall though, we approach their competitors, try to get them on board as both advertisers and offical product sponsors ... "Slang, by personal preference, carries a Glock, but if you would like to have the new Golden Desert Eagle widely advertised on our program, he will be open to a discussion related to trying out your product and frequently mention it's presence on his person ... Just give a couple samples to our Armorer and Baked Goods Coordinator, Wolf, and we'll get back to you about the contracts."

I definitely want Penn Dutch Egg Nog to sponsor us. Or at least Guinness. Oh, and Adidas. (I'm about due for new sneakers.)

Shit Wolf! This could be the perfect staging ground for "The Adventures of Mullet Man and His Sidekick Mutton Chops!"

Agreed. I think it will play MUCH better than as a series of short stories ... perhaps an animation? Kind of like King of the Hill, only set in Kensington, and MUCh cleverer.

Yer bullshitting me, right? You write and read the poetry and I’ll mock it. Then we’ll build an argument into a stage fight or something.

I like this idea.

Hey!!! How about just a bunch of techno-synthetic/acid rock noise?
It's your call. My only requirement is that it is catchy enough to have half the population singing it alone in their cars while commutting…….by this summer.

How about Microsoft? Bill has a lot of dough.

No, you dumbazz. The situation where everyone has a word and dances around in a moshpit.

Wolf...it's Frankford, dear. I know Frankford better than Kensington (and they're both shitholes). Although, one of the Mullet Man episodes could center around a trip to K&A...some fight breaks out on the El...I could fill in the storyline.

And it has to be bad animation...not quite stick figure, but crappy.

If we get a show on MSNBC, it's practically automatically sponsored by Bill and his crew.

I'm all over it ...

Just as soon as my doc clears me for driving AND ass kicking. Of course, there's always Miss Priscilla™ ... I might need a little more practice at 300, though.

(Don't worry, Syc, you'll notice that my sweetie ordered an asskicking, not a killin'. I'll even allow you to specify. You want that through and through on the LEFT or RIGHT buttock?)

Oh ... okay. My knowledge of Phila neighborhoods is rather incomplete. Remember, it's a place that I've spent lots of time avoiding rather than embracing. To me, these are all just placenames where I hear shootings reported by Action News.

I'm thinking of something that would make Beavis & Buttheads' animation look really, really good. Lots of wobbly lines, and with poorly matched color values throughout. (although, if you know someone with that level of artistic talent, it might be funny to do it in Japanese Anime style.)
