Yippee peanut butter...

PHEW!!!!!!

I managed to e-mail the radio scripts to MediaCorp on time.



That didn't mean they were great though. I planned to do the script after the Sheila On 7 concert on telly last night. So at 2330hrs I got my pen and paper ready and went to my bedroom where I got distracted by my sister’s comic books. It’s FOXTROT, mah!

So I read…and as expected, I fell asleep inches away from the bathroom. When I woke up it was already 0530hrs. FUCKING BUGGER! I continued sleeping. I haven't got anything and the deadline was noon.

I got up at 0730hrs and was contemplating whether should I go to work. Eventually, I took a half day time off… For the next hour, I thought..and thought..and came up with 2 radio commercials.

1. One is about a group of ppl climbing Mt Everest. They are already high up the mountain..with howling wind, pelting snow and all. Then one of them decides to stop for a sandwich break (for the umpteenth time) to the annoyance of others. He describes the YIPPEE peanut butter sandwich he has been eating…telling them not only it makes him skip (a lame dig at SKIPPY peanut butter), it makes him feel like flying. Then suddenly the rocks under him crumble and he flies down from the mountain. He shouts "Yippeeee".

Yippee peanut butter. It's more than a skip. It's a leap for mankind.

Never mind.

2. A pregnant wife wakes up at 3 in the morning asking for Yippee peanut butter which has cinnamon flavour, lemon, chock-full of fudge chunks and peanut butter with seaweed among other flavours. Hubby grumbles and staggers to the kitchen to appease the wife. In the kitchen he bitterly spreads the peanut butter..and imitates his wife's whiny voice. Then the smell hits him and he takes a bite of the sandwich and eventually finishing it. The wife comes in and catches her hubby eating her sandwich. The butter knife falls.

Yippee peanut butter..so different, so good.

.....

Okay so by 0830hrs I was done…fell asleep and woke up 2 hours later. Mind you. I hadn’t got all these junk on Microsoft word yet.

1030hrs. I panicked and rushed to the computer. Microsoft Office got cocked up and I had to start Word several times..i finished typing at 1130hrs. 30minutes should be more than enough for me to e-mail the scripts to them right? No!

A sudden corny idea hit me and I decided to just include it for that cheesy humour. Took me 27 minutes to type it out and at 1200 sharp I sent all 3.

3. Elvis Presley is having a concert and at the end, the crowd roars and applauds. He goes backstage where his assistant, who calls him Mr Elvis, comes a-running with Elvis' favourite snack of deep fried peanut butter sandwich (I didn't mention that but it's known that that is Elvis' staple food). Elvis asks several times if the sandwich is cinnamon flavoured, lemon, fudge chunks or peanut butter with seaweed. The assistant replies meekly and apologetically (he is the KING after all) that is not Yippee peanut butter. Elvis gets angry and asks the assistant to get him Yippee peanut butter. The assistant then asks if he wants the yippee peanut butter sandwich fried. “Hell no! Yippee is as good as it is!”

Yippee peanut butter..Flavours fit for a king.

End with Elvis saying “Thank you very much.”



WHaT? I cant help it! I have been listening to too much dusty old music.

Awrite awrite..

Gonna watch SAHARA tonight. I am down to my last few bucks now...but well, this is free.
