An ant Farm?

My gosh that makes me feel old. I wrote into some cereal deal and purchased one when I was a kid. It was glass on the outside and you could watch the little rascals building tunnels and such.

Ultimately though, it sucked.

Mike reminds of an old friend of mine: he was working at Johns Hopkins as a lab tech. It was his sad duty to kill the lab rats after an experiement. He took some LSD. He was reading them Rimbaud and on his second bottle of wine when he was found, weeping.

BTW Mike - that is not meant as an insult.

Wow that could be a great tune/video there..

A guy whose job is to kill the mice after experiments takes LSD and starts talking to the mice who plead for wine and a story before they have to be killed. (yep the mice are speaking English)

He reads them "classics" and whatever "Rimbaud" is and they talk to him.
(hell yeah)

He finishes the story and has some wine and ends up on the floor, filled with remorse and uncertainty. (shot is him on his side, semi-fetal on a black and white checker floor)(check-check)

Security guards take him out in the AM, cause you know he is "fired".
And they throw him onto the ground near the curb.

(The masses are wondering whether or not he killed the mice)

He starts to shake off being bounced on the sidewalk and he looks to his right and sees 3 of the more recognizable mice and they thank him for not killing them and their friends.

Maybe they finish with a song? And a dance..maybe even a moral.
That's fing white hot..good segue for 2 tunes as well.

Ant farm, every one should get an ant farm. A big , big ant farm,,,

Do some LSD, load a thousand rounds into as many clips as you can,,,,

And unload on them until those little buggers are gone.



I enjoy the creative input,,,, You guys come up with some really creative IDEAS!

(Please don't try this at home)

I never had an ant farm.

I had an ant lion farm ( you know they make those little cone shaped traps in the sand )

I'd catch ants on a sugar coated stick and shake me off into the sand and watch my lions feast.

Was great fun . . . till my mom found out I had them in her big Pyrex baking dish.

Now that sounds fun!!!

LSD, wine, Rimbaud... having suicidal thoughts.
What else does a person do when they have to kill lab rats?

"Oliver Twist"?.. lol

or

"Old Man and the Sea"?

Which is it, Mice? Come on now, I know you liked "Catcher In The Rye" but we already finished that one..

And thus began the epic story of "Willard".

Add 1 or 2 good tunes, shake vigorously, story board and shoot video..

"Willard" would make a great video..and more than enough for a concept album. (You could twist any tune into that little story with little difficulty.)

Good cross demographic pull on 18-35 males + animal rights people which would probably include most women. (uh-oh lol)

"Everything is a formula whether you know it or not".

The question is "can you use what you got"?
It's a big question that every single person needs to answer for themselves.

Move over Bacon.. lol

All right - so here is the rest of the story:

It turns out they weren't real mice at all. They were aliens disguised as mice. They'd been sent to earth to find out if we were as mean and violent as they'd heard. IF so, they planned to destroy the planet.

When Mike spared the 'mice' the aliens took it as a sign that we were actually pretty nice so they spared Earth and opened an embassy in Baltimore.

Everyone was happy except the security guards who had tossed Mike. You see, they were actually aliens from yet another planet / dimension and had been sent to see if earth was actually violent enough to join the galactic federation of bad guys. Mike's act of kindness was the 'enough is enough' momement for them.

Meanwhile:

Mike and the mice are dancing at the new embassy. Obama and Merkal and all the rest are there - celebrating the saving of the earth.

Camera fades to the beautiful star lit night outside as A-list celebrites dance with big shots; everybody sparkling hard, and band plays 'Three Blind Mice' over and over.

But wait! What's that flash in the sky?! It's getting bigger! It's coming this way!! Aiiiiiiii.....

just before the alien planet buster bomb impacts Mike looks over at the mice and exclaims, "why you treacherous little shits!" And slaps one.

The missile miraculous stops - cut to a very scary looking Alien grinning at his pals, "Maybe those Earth assholes aren't so bad after all...."

Then all the survivingi country singers who are worth a damn come on stage and start singing "Will the circle be unbroken."

As the camera fades out we see a tiny mouse paw reaching furtively for a detonator....

Now, I wouldn't slap a little mouse.
Even if he is an E.T.

That is over the top, but I wouldn't tell you "no".

Inspiration is only a hair's breath from insanity..

I like it..I like it a lot..

We're going to lose the Disney people, but screw em.

Scott

You had me when the mice did a song and dance number.
