It makes me think of those restaurants where you can eat food off of people.

I had this idea for a line of dialogue I want to work into a script, but I have no context for it, except that it's delivered by a bitter character named Lou, and it goes "Freedom?! Freedom's just another word for nothing left for Lou!"

Also, a film idea the lady and I developed together for a Lifetime TV-type movie called "Speaking from the Heart":

---
Tim is a lovable twenty-something gay deaf-mute living in Minneapolis. Happy in his relationship but estranged from his parents because of his sexuality, he struggles with Eileen, his 40-ish therapist, to find self-acceptance. But meanwhile, Eileen has her own single-parent struggles with her rebellious teenaged daughter. Audiences will cry and cheer at the heartwarming climax, when Tim witnesses a fight between Eileen and her daughter; after the daughter storms out, Tim's mouth begins to tremble, as he "breaks his silence" to tell Eileen "Y-y-y-y-yu-yuh-yuh-yy-You N-n-n-n-n-n-nee-n-n-need each-ch-ch-other."
In the final scene, Tim's parents join him and his boyfriend and Eileen and her daughter for Thanksgiving dinner.

negative 100 calorie packs of celery*. they would be huge.

*cuz you lose more calories digesting celery than you gain by metabolizing it

it CAN be true about celery depending on your metabolism. also: grapefruit.

ok so this is a terrible idea that I think I may see yet in my lifetime

"legal limit" soda. the sugariest soda allowed by legal law. the whole selling point is that if you bought it, opened it, and added a packet of sugar, well boy, you'd better hope there aren't any cops around because buddy you could be arrested!

I'd have to look into FDA regs, though.

is there really a legal limit for sugar in a soda?

mandatorily joined parties (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 01:32 (thirteen years ago) link

just sell some sugar packaged in soda cans

peter in montreal, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 05:45 (thirteen years ago) link

or drink 2 sodas

hot lava hair (Z S), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 05:47 (thirteen years ago) link

"just add seltzer water"

I dunno if there's a legal limit to sugar in sodas. if there is, then I would change the idea to something like "Impossibly Sweet Soda!"

the hook would be that this is the most sugar available in a soda according to scientific law - even if you tried to add more sugar to it, it wouldn't work, the sugar would just fall to the bottom, undissolved.

dayo, Wednesday, 15 December 2010 05:50 (thirteen years ago) link

drinking it would be like drinking that $20 slushee bart bought from the kwik-e-mart.
