Unsexytime

Well is this ain’t the clumsiest, creepiest, most awkward come-on in the history of man and woman! Les’ usually dainty hands grow into cartoony, clublike mitts, and his eyebrows can almost be seen to wag as he clutches cringing Cayla to his bony breast, as the exposition-laden dialog balloon looming over their heads threatens to crush them both.

For all of us who’ve wondered what Cayla saw in Les…why she suffered his devotion to his dead first wife…why she married his ofay ass…well, it’s starting to make sense now. It’s finally starting to pay off for her (and her daughter), and she sends Les back to the tower to spin some more straw into gold.

Script? Sure

Let’s play “The Price is Right”. How much do you think the dollar amount is on this douchebag’s check?

Well, if it’s enough to pay a year’s tuition at Kent times two, it’s gotta be at least $18,692. “Ann also says I get to write the first script.” I’m pretty sure that Ann says that just to mollify your massive ego, which will then be crushed once “the producers in Hollywood” bring in some real scriptwriters to do the job.

Lights! Camera! Cancer!


Today, April 9th is the official third anniversary of Son of Stuck Funky; here’s a link to the very first post. Don’t forget to enter our 3rd Anniversary Giveaway!

Cayla, honey: your first reaction to your husband’s good news probably should be something like “That’s great, baby! Congratulations!” instead of immediately trying to gauge how much money’s coming your way. “Television? Movies?!?“ Well, turns out both answers are correct in a sense…but taken together, they equal less than the whole.

By the way, in said year and a half, we have yet to have an actual name for the mysterious “Hollywood Buyer”…neither a person nor a company name.

Mysterious indeed, even to Les: “something called CME…Cable Movie Entertainment”. Sounds like the Funkiverse equivalent of the Lifetime Network or Hallmark Channel. Guess that means no big-name stars, no 3-D…so much for Les’ labor of love being made into “a real movie“.
