It's the gift that keeps on giving. Really, it is.
I have to sneak out and shoot a Wednesday episode of “High School Bowl” in a few minutes (first of four Wednesdays in a row, for some bizarre reason) so let's continue with yesterday's theme...
Yooper Hallmark movies.
As I mentioned yesterday, the first draft of my TV bit for this week was waaaaay over—it timed out at four minutes, and I only have two minutes in which to babble. So I had to cut out a bunch of fake movie titles and/or plot descriptions. Because I don't want them to go to waste and because I really DO need to get ready for TV this morning, I present several of them now. Some were cut because they weren't developed, and some weren't quite as funny as others.
Editing can be brutal, as most writers tell you.
Here we go—some of the fake titles we didn't use?
“Love in L'Anse”
“Paradise by the Paulding Light”
“Hugs in Houghton”
“Superior Snuggles”
And a few full descriptions?
“Bars of Iron”, in which bartenders from Iron Mountain & Iron River fall in love, break up, and get back together, all within the span of one Humongous Fungus Festival.
“Left at Lambeau”, where Lions fan is left at the altar by a Packers fan, but hopes to find love again by going on a series of blind dates with fans of AFC teams.
And...
“Love in the Izz-zone”, in which the legendary Coach helps a beach volleyball player overcome her lifelong fear of sand so she can finally come face to face with the Lake Superior lifeguard she’s admired from afar.
Don't ask.
As I mentioned yesterday, this was a fun one to put together. And with any luck, so will the one for next Monday. Even if I don't know what I'm doing yet. But I still have what...four days?
For some of us, that's like a lifetime.
8-)
Okay. I need to get going to my other TV gig now!
