I suppose that this article needs some introduction. One evening, Shad and I found ourselves discussing the many phenomenal ideas that have issued forth from our fertile imaginations, including proposals that we need to submit to various film studios, record labels, etc. Regarding these many, many fine ideas we have, which will surely seem brilliant to you, the readers, I can only reply that Shad and I have our collective finger on the pulse of what the American public is entertained and delighted by. So, sit back, and enjoy!

PS: Please remember that these ideas are COPYRIGHTED. Though it may of course be tempting to co-opt these for your own usage and eventual enormous financial wealth, remember that the intellectual property that follows is ours, and ours alone. However, feel free to submit your own phenomenal and creative ideas to us! Thank you!

Shad believed that an animated series and toy line involving a race of enormous robots who have traveled to our planet from another galaxy, who find themselves able to assume the forms of vehicles and household objects (perhaps a tractor trailer? A jet? A boombox? A microscope?) would be an interesting and profitable idea. He explained that the robots would perplex us humans with their crafty shapeshifting -- especially the evil ones, what deceivers they would be! -- and that, because of the seeming interchangeability between their true robotic and disguised forms, they could be called... The Interchangeables.

Chris, meanwhile, had the idea for a rock group comprised of a group of muscular young men who often appear shirtless onstage (and even wearing socks covering their private parts -- these are wild, crazy guys, especially the bass player, who should have many tattoos and a wild head of garishly dyed hair, of course), singing ballads about being beneath bridges, perhaps, or other songs about such topics as California and the powerful resilience of human cells and tissue to repair themselves when cut. There was, however, one problem: he couldn't think of a name! So he asked Shad what he thought, and he suggested the catchy group name, "Hot Sauce"! Isn't that great?

Chris and Shad also collaborated on two film projects: the first concerns an underground group of disenfranchised office workers and other such men who find a release in physical confrontations. Eventually, this underground club of fighters becomes increasingly violent and anarchic, to the point where their charismatic leader (who turns out, in a shocking twist, to be the same person as the film's protagonist) suggests that they blow up buildings! The title? "Friend Club Is Really Dangerous."

Their second and perhaps more family-friendly idea involved a remote island where the reconstructed DNA of dinosaurs would be used to bring them back to life! But trouble would strike when the dinosaurs would revolt against their human captors (referencing a Hollywood classic that I think was titled "The King of Apes That Wound up Climbing the Skyscraper" -- did you know that my grandfather wrote, directed, and created the startling special effects for that film? Alas, he was cheated out of his rightful fortune by a greedy studio and decided to remove his name from the final project). We thought it would be a good idea to call it "Help! Get Me Off of Dino Island!"

Chris conceived a good idea for a compact disc recording that would contain a series of rock songs about such universal subjects as time, the pursuit of money, etc. It could be called "When It's Dark Outside You See the Moon Is in the Sky." He thought it could be fairly successful, but not quite as much so as his other idea for a record album that is somewhat similar, involving the evils of technology in a dehumanized world. He could call it, "Computer, Okay! I'll Do Whatever You Say!"

But I think Shad's idea (one that I must give him full credit for, no matter how much I wish I had some part in creating it) for a series of films about a young boy who travels through space with the aid of a princess, a wizard, a space pirate, two robots, and a small green man (named Moda) to eventually defeat a sort of giant, masked black knight who has built a gigantic planet (called the Danger Sphere! Doesn't that sound chilling) which he also destroys. There are so many wonderful scenes in this film series, I'm afraid that we couldn't begin to detail them all here, but we will tell you that it's called, "Series of Confrontations That Take Place In Outer Space."
