Furious George, recovered from the archives of the SmashHitTomCave
12:01 < bitekman> maybe we'll pay sqourch to get him out, and option the rights.
12:01 < dr_jerkface> hee
12:01 < Smash_Hit_Tom> Blackhawk up!
12:01 < dr_jerkface> knighthawk
12:01 < Smash_Hit_Tom> ooh, sweet
12:01 < Smash_Hit_Tom> we can embellish, make it a talking hekicopter
12:01 < Smash_Hit_Tom> helicopter*
12:01 < Smash_Hit_Tom> with eb's personality
12:01 < bitekman> "What I mean by "the elite" is rich and powerful people, corporations, lobbies, nonprofit
foundations, etc."
12:02 < Smash_Hit_Tom> full of rude wisecracks
12:02 < dr_jerkface> heh
12:02 < bitekman> i like the implication that all "corporations" and "nonprofit foundations" are elite.
12:02 < dr_jerkface> it can air on lifetime.
12:02 < bitekman> heh
12:02 < dr_jerkface> "Not Without My Stankow!"
12:02 < bitekman> or we could air it on Spike TV and add more boobs
12:03 < bitekman> stankow could fall in love with a beautiful iraqi freedom fighter.
12:03 < Smash_Hit_Tom> wher are we gonna get boobs in iraq?
12:03 < bitekman> it's in the green zone.
12:03 < bitekman> make it a soldier.
12:03 < dr_jerkface> Aneud can come!
12:03 < Smash_Hit_Tom> wait, isn't that a terrorist?
12:03 < Smash_Hit_Tom> or insurgent?
12:03 < Aneud> where can I come?
12:03 < Smash_Hit_Tom> or whatever?
12:03 < Smash_Hit_Tom> wherever you want
12:03 < bitekman> this submission is a hoot
12:03 < bitekman> http://www.plastic.com/submit.html;op=viewsub;subid=060225.09480796
12:03 < dr_jerkface> you'll be in our stankow rescue movie.
12:03 < Aneud> not entirely true sadly Tom
12:04 < bitekman> aneud would be the hot swedish chick.
12:04 < Aneud> ah okay dr_jerkface if anything I can sacrifice myself and give some mean mouth-to-mouth
12:04 < bitekman> catch22 can be the evil democrat, holding back the rescue
12:04 < bitekman> "but you might crush some endangered desert spiders with your helicopter!"
12:04 < bitekman> SQUORCH: rofl!
12:04 < Aneud> can't be that bitekman I'm not Swedish... very proudly Romanian, can you do with a latin chick
too?
12:05 < bitekman> look, it's a holywood movie
12:05 < bitekman> don't start with the fake countries.
12:05 < Aneud> ah okay
12:05 * Aneud is sad but will still take it... how long of a scene is it?
12:05 < bitekman> scene?
12:05 < dr_jerkface> hello laputan machine!
12:05 < bitekman> it's the key to the movie!
12:06 < bitekman> you move as a new navy nurse to the peaceful Iraq
12:06 < bitekman> who knew the japanese would attacK?
12:06 < dr_jerkface> bastards!
12:06 < Aneud> you could have summed all that up in "I would like Aneud killed" bitekman .... the wasted
energy :P
12:06 < bitekman> no, no. you don't get killed.
12:07 < bitekman> you think george gets killed. but he doesn't
12:07 < dr_jerkface> that will open up a project placement for the new fj40
12:07 < bitekman> his dreams of you save him as he swims from the bottom of the persian gulf.
12:07 < Aneud> that's not too deep
12:07 < mule> "Not without my Stankow?"
12:07 < dr_jerkface> thank goodness
12:08 < bitekman> we'll leave out the money part.
12:08 < bitekman> he went to baghdad to...serve his country. and the orphans.
12:08 < dr_jerkface> heh
12:08 < bitekman> see, these orphans drew a cartoon of the prophet muhammad. and he's protecting them from
rampaging danes.
12:08 < bitekman> which is why the swedish nurses show up.
12:08 < bitekman> swedes hate danse.
12:08 < Aneud> ahhhh you're a true mastermind
12:09 < bitekman> "al-Qaida Threatens to Hit More Saudi Sites"
12:09 < Aneud> that works.... what limb does he lose though?
12:09 < dr_jerkface> the Stupid Chieg segment with the army detailers at the opening will be sweet
12:09 < bitekman> "and this time we will pick one we can actually attack successfully!"
12:09 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you know
12:09 < bitekman> that's the sad part, aneud
12:09 < Smash_Hit_Tom> we could actually do this I bet
12:09 < bitekman> you, maybe.
12:09 < Smash_Hit_Tom> I mean, snakes on a plane
12:09 < bitekman> i work for the man.
12:09 < bitekman> heh.
12:09 < dr_jerkface> "i'm out of line? no, YOU'RE OUT OF LINE!!"
12:10 < Smash_Hit_Tom> we just start a cvs somewhere
12:10 < xiamin> "You're a loose cannon!"
12:10 < Smash_Hit_Tom> but instead of code, it's a screenplay
12:10 < bitekman> "i'll have your badge, major!"
12:10 < dr_jerkface> 'you're goddam right i am [tears beret in half]!!!'
12:10 < Smash_Hit_Tom> check it out
12:10 < xiamin> Stankow is unconventional but he gets results.
12:10 < bitekman> the real question is whether that movie about the battle of fallujah will be made before we
retreat in disgrace.
12:10 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you have 3 buddies, stankow, squorch and eb
12:10 < bitekman> why eb?
12:11 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you'll see
12:11 < dr_jerkface> no, eb should def. be the voice of the helicopter.
12:11 < bitekman> navy, army, and rugby?
12:11 < Smash_Hit_Tom> squorch the flypoy hotshot, stankow the grizzled seargant, eb the drunkass funny rugby
guy
12:11 < bitekman> ooh. he could be austrialian
12:11 < Smash_Hit_Tom> eb tragically breaks his neck in a match
12:11 < bitekman> an austrian tourist, bar-hopping in irq
12:11 < dr_jerkface> coalition of the willing!
12:12 < Smash_Hit_Tom> and submits to an experiment whereby his consciousness if put on a computer chip
12:12 < dr_jerkface> it'll up the overseas numbers
12:12 < Smash_Hit_Tom> because he can't bear living like a vegetable
12:12 < Aneud> hey why doesn't stankow get the dashing hotshottitle?
12:12 < bitekman> heh
12:12 < Smash_Hit_Tom> squorch put the chip in his helicopter
12:12 < bitekman> i like it, sht.
12:12 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you need a grizzled hardass
12:13 < bitekman> and in his role as HR director, he'll be perfect.
12:13 < Smash_Hit_Tom> who finally has to admit he needs help
12:13 < bitekman> "no, you CAN'T take friday off."
12:13 < Smash_Hit_Tom> dramatic tension
12:13 < dr_jerkface> heh
12:13 < bitekman> he can't fight off al-quada from the orphanage on his own, sht
12:13 < bitekman> even with the minigun at his hip
12:13 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you got it
12:14 < bitekman> don't forget the comic black soldier
12:14 < bitekman> who gets killed
12:14 < bitekman> dave chappele?
12:14 < Smash_Hit_Tom> even rambo needed help
12:14 < Smash_Hit_Tom> just not chris tucker
12:14 < mule> bitekman: I think you're wrong. He can do it because he has a heart of gold!
12:14 < bitekman> maybe we could have a surprise brokeback twist.
12:15 < Aneud> mule is t3h wise
12:15 < bitekman> for the oscar nomination.
12:15 < dr_jerkface> big surprise
12:15 < mule> Aneud: another nugget of wisdom. Then you fall asleep on the couch, don't sleep on the remote.
12:15 < bitekman> i can already picture "salsbury field" playing over scences of iraqi desert
12:15 < bitekman> with burning oil wells.
12:15 < mule> jabby corners gave me bizarre dreams
12:16 < Smash_Hit_Tom> the proctologist isn't as discreet as you'd hope, mule?
12:16 < Smash_Hit_Tom> "no really, I slept on it!"
12:16 < bitekman> this movie is going to ROCK
12:17 < Smash_Hit_Tom> damn, good thing we thought of it here, or we'd have to give carl a cut og the gross
12:17 < dr_jerkface> whew.
12:17 < mule> Is there a title yet?
12:17 < bitekman> that's just what i was thinking
12:17 < mule> "Get Stankow"?
12:17 < Aneud> yes there was one initially
12:17 < bitekman> "Furious George"
12:17 < Aneud> "Free Stankow" sounds better than "Save George"
12:18 * mule spits
12:18 < mule> bitekman wins
12:18 < dr_jerkface> i like 'furious george' too
12:18 < bitekman> see, he's angry because al-quaid wants the orphans
12:18 -!- dr_jerkface changed the topic of #predicate to: "Furious George"
12:18 < Aneud> but that will make the public biased to begin with
12:18 < bitekman> AND because his swedish nurse is with another man.
12:18 < dr_jerkface> to start an army of super-terrorists
12:18 < bitekman> that's right!
12:18 < bitekman> they want to turn it into a madrassa
12:19 < dr_jerkface> all funded by the japanese
12:19 < bitekman> these iranian al-quaida arabs
12:19 < bitekman> trained by the french
12:19 < mule> hee I love you guys
12:19 < bitekman> "I didn't fight for abortion to be illegal just so these born children could be turned into
muslim fanatics."
12:19 < dr_jerkface> there should be a sly european businessman involved too.
12:19 * Aneud wipes tears
12:19 < bitekman> NURSE: I thought all muslims were fanatics?
12:20 < bitekman> GEORGE: Not these ones, baby. If I have anything to do with it.
12:20 < dr_jerkface> i think he should be dutch.
12:20 < mule> It turns out that Mikhail Khodokovski was that sly european businessman. That's why he was
jailed by the Russians.
12:20 < Smash_Hit_Tom> we need a spindly wan hacker guy too
12:20 < bitekman> erik or mule: you must post this on LJ
12:20 < bitekman> oh, those will be hard to come by here, SHT
12:20 < mule> taht would be: bitekman
12:20 < dr_jerkface> should be played by alan rickman
12:21 < bitekman> i'm not a hacker. i'm a plutocrat!
12:21 < bitekman> my days of hacking are behind me. ever since i pulled off that last big job
12:21 < Aneud> yes bitekman's masterpiece may even get funding that way! Spielberg reportedly often peruses LJ
12:21 < Smash_Hit_Tom> you don't seem to understand, bitekman
12:21 < Smash_Hit_Tom> we have you daughter
12:21 < mule> if erik doesn't post this, I will. Sadly, it cannot be today.
12:21 < bitekman> and she's jewish, SHT.
12:21 < dr_jerkface> heh
12:21 < bitekman> so we can get the IDF into this.
12:22 < mule> I'm heading out in 30 and won't be back until Sunday late.
12:22 < bitekman> 30 what?
12:22 < bitekman> UNITs, mule. UNITS.
12:22 < Smash_Hit_Tom> solve this sudoku in 12 seconds
12:22 < mule> 30 mulenits
12:22 < dr_jerkface> if we include the sinister dutchman, mrwarmth will fund it.
12:22 < mule> 30 minutes
12:22 < bitekman> but...but...i swore i'd never solve a soducku again!
12:22 < bitekman> i build the security for soduku!
12:22 < mule> dr_jerkface: hahahaha
12:22 * Aneud will miss mule
12:23 < Smash_Hit_Tom> yeah, Niall knows hollywood people
12:23 < Aneud> predicate will lose its sweetness core
12:23 < Smash_Hit_Tom> he gives them blowjobs, remember?
12:23 < mule> aw, thanks Aneud
12:23 < Smash_Hit_Tom> but you'll still have the SHT crust
12:23 < Aneud> yeah true that....
12:24 < bitekman> well. time for some lunch
12:25 < Aneud> but bitekman!
12:25 < Aneud> lunch can wait, creation can't
12:25 < bitekman> i've seen project greenlight.
12:25 < bitekman> i don't need that life, man
12:26 < bitekman> writing screenwriting software is as close as I want to get.
12:26 < Aneud> well dude fine.... don't start crying about people with dinars making money when we could have
made it big if only you didn't have lunch
12:26 < bitekman> i'm crying about people losing money with dinars
