Solved!

[tzikeh]

No more worries about the writers' strike -- I've solved it. We outsource all of the tv scriptwriting to Bollywood. Every one of our shows becomes a musical, and there are elephants everywhere.

Heroes? Songs and elephants.
House? Songs and elephants.
Smallville? Songs and elephants.
Supernatural? Songs and elephants.
SGA? Songs and elephants.
Reaper? Songs and elephants.
Prison Break? Songs and elephants.
Pushing Daisies? Songs and elephants.
Law and Order? SONGS AND ELEPHANTS.

IT WOULD TOTALLY WORK. WITH ELEPHANTS.

OMG. Dexter NEEDS elephants. And a musical number.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

*pictures Michael C. Hall in Aladdin pants*

[loz]

And then out of them.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

yes please.

[ratcreature]

*is now terrified*

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Nothing to be terrified of! Just good ol' fashioned MUSICALS FOR EVERYONE WITH ELEPHANTS IN THEM.

[ratcreature]

But isn't Dexter + Elephants a recipe for animal harm? I sort of imagined a signing Dexter butchering an elephant... also just imagine how many boat trips it would take to dispose of the carcass. Bollywood just isn't my thing, I'm afraid.

Elephants have no place in the code of Harry. Cobras, OTOH...

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

omg - "The Code of Harry" is clearly the big opening number.

*cries*

[debchan.livejournal.com]

With the chorus singing "don't get caught" as the refrain in the background. I CAN SEE IT.

Elephants have no place in the code of Harry.

I am terrified that this is EXACTLY what I thought. The code! The code!

(That sounds musical to me...)

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

(To "Tonight")

The code, the code
I live with Harry's code
It helps me know what I
Get to kill...

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

You're frightening me because I'm actually bothering to figure out if the lyric would work better as "what" or "whom", or "know" or "choose".

Stop it.

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

I am farther gone than you: I've already debated this in my head, and chose "what" because the conversation involves the effalunts.

::is crazy::

Dexter wouldn't harm an elephant!

(too much mass to chop up and hide)

[loz]

Also, Elephants are innocent, unless it was Topsy, and she's already dead.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Dexter can RIDE THE ELEPHANT to his many killing-people appointments! Tell me THAT wouldn't be cute!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I can't tell you that wouldn't be cute, because it WOULD!!

What would Dexter name his elephant? He'd have to sing a love song to his elephant. Good thing Hall can belt it out of the park.

[loz]

Let the fans do the writing. There may not necessarily be less elephants, but there will definitely be more gay porn.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Don't you WANT to see Sam dressed up in silk scarves, and Gene being borne around the station on a litter?

C'mon. You know you do.

[loz]

We already have canonical Bollywood, with those Maya scenes.

Oh God, tzikeh, did you HAVE TO? MY MIND, YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I DO! THAT'S WHY I SAID IT!

[loz]

EVIL.

Also, have you read any of halotolerant's writing? Because it is really good.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

No! Is it all linked from her lj?

[loz]

Not sure. Let me link you up.

Lifein1973 Memories

In Which We Burn is my first rec, followed shortly by That Old Zen Paradox.

She has a WIP which is really interesting and has me gripped on the edge of my seat and will be finished soon, so I can link you then too.

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

Yes, read them! [/creepy intrusion into other people's conversations]

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!

Feel free to jump in any time. Not creepy at all.

Got any shows we can put musical numbers or elephants in?

[debchan.livejournal.com]

Nicholas Nickelby. I would pay good money to see this. Seriously.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Tragically, we cannot outsource NickNick to Bollywood as it's already complete. We're solving the writers' strike, here. I don't think Mr. Dickens is looking for streaming media residuals.

[debchan.livejournal.com]

Screw that! I want my Victorian elephants!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

*pictures Roger Rees on an elephant*

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

Do not tease me with the thought of a Bollywood-esque Heroes. Because I'm pretty sure that would be terrifyingly awesome.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

OMG. Adrian Pasdar in eyeliner, bare-chested, being all muscular and doe-eyed.

*fans self*

[thecomfychair.livejournal.com]

uh, YES PLEASE. With the flirty glances and the shiny pants and the hip-shaking.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

zomg hips... little cymbals on his thumb and forefinger...

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

OMG!!! I love elephants!! Why can't I keep an elephant?! I'd go around terrifying people and threatening to crush children! And I'd find parking anywhere!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I once rode an elephant and it was AWESOME!

Who is in your icon? Can they sing songs and ride elephants?

[dorcas-gustine.livejournal.com]

It's Chuck and Olive from Pushing Daisies. You can probably stuff elephants in there, but they'd be dead and then revived again.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

God, this would REVOLUTIONIZE TV as we know it. And I would watch A LOT more American TV.

Reaper? Songs and elephants.
Pushing Daisies? Songs and elephants.

If Jonathan Coulton wants to take up TV scriptwriting these are the shows & scenarios for him!
