TV shows that should have a movie!

Once in a while we get a movie that is base on a popular TV shows. Like the X-Files movie that just came out. And I'm sure there will be more come in the near future. Lately I was thinking about some TV shows that should be turned into a movie. But they should not be like one those paradise with wacky storyline and giving the original characters wacky position. A movie that would stay true to the TV show and it's characters. Here are the follow TV shows I think should be a movie and stay true to the show.

Cheers: Sam and the gang are back this time Woody owns the bar now. It during the time of the World Series play - offs of the Boston Red Socks (the first time they win). And Woody decide to reopen the bar for the special occasion. Sam and Diane sort of get back together but a newly separated Rebecca get into the mix. Cliff and Norm retires from their jobs and end up hosting a morning radio show to rival Frasier.

The Wonder Years: Instead of Kevin dad dying from a heart attack, he end up dying from AIDS. Kevin marries a girl he meets in college and has two kids. Wendy marries a man from England who got addicted to crack and pain killers, but end up staying together. Bud oldest son dies in Iraq as soldier in the Army and so does Paul who dies as a journalist.

Maude: About 30 years after she had an adoration, Maude is still in Congress and no one knows what happen. Till now, when medical scares and slight regrets make the truth come full circle for a rival. Threatening her career in Washington and threats to her personal life.

The Venture Brothers: The hottest show on Adult Swim behind reruns of Family Guy (still a good show). If you are not familiar with the show a link is provide. Just click on the show title and it will take you their Wikipedia page. If you are a fan of the show you and I would be really happy if there were a movie. The evil Monarch is after super scientist and fallen kid star Dr. Rusty Venture (for reasons we don't know). Along with his sons Hank, Dean and ex bodyguard Brock @#%&'in Samson. Vs some many cast of screwed up super villains and a variety of pop culture references.

I couldn't think up of a fifth TV show that should be turned into a movie, so I'm leaving that spot up you the readers to pick that out. Just make the suggestion in the comment box and I will figure out the popular show mention in the comment. Then post that answer on the blog in the near future.

The 7 things I hate about my relatives (on mom side) !

Call my Uncle Tim Contest and post:

(http://crazyafterall.blogspot.com/2008/06/in-every-person-there-is-trait-that.html)


After you have examined the post on the back story and rules of the contest, let’s go in-depth with the matter of the situation. There is a single out by Miley Cyrus called “The 7 things I hate about you”. The song is about the 7 things she hates and likes in a boy. I on the other hand decided to make my own list of 7 things I hate about my relatives (on my mom side of the family). Which happen to feature complains towards Uncle Tim that may give you an idea for your recorded voicemail. It’s not just Uncle Tim, it about my other Uncles and their families.


Just in cause you don’t know who my Uncles are, I will give you a background check. Uncle Tom is the oldest, he doesn't care all that much about Papa and Nana and since he is a granparent himself spoils the grand kids like hell. My cousin is going to have a hard time with his kids once they become teens. There's Uncle Terry who was born after mom. He is one of those rich Uncles with a nice house, car and personality. Thanks to the contest you know who Uncle Tim is! Uncle Ted is the youngest of the family. Ever since he and his wife adopted kids the rest of the family is in the dark about seeing him and the kids. So now that is in the clear, lets begin the list of 7 things I hate about my relatives.

Sexist treatment of only sister and her family, by not visiting her family where they leave

Putting friends over family when vacationing at the local beaches where sister lives.

Misinformation given to the patriarch of the family then we get it

Snobby attitudes towards middle, middle class relatives or who don’t act rich

They don’t visit us, but we have to visit them for about an hour

We like to see my cousin play ball, even if he sucks.

We should hang out more when we visit you, other then just hanging out at the pool for a few hours and not see each other after that.

On the other hand, I have to credit them for without them I wouldn't have created this blog. I wouldn't be able to diss them for dissing us. I say it a fair game at this point, if they treated us differently, then things in this blog would've change.

We Didn't Start the Fire (Part 2)

Just a reminder, you could win $25 iTunes gift card just by calling my Uncle Tim and recording your funny, creative voice mail. Deadline is August 31 and all entries should be email to me. See previous post for details and back story behind this contest.

There is a song by Billy Joel from long ago (20 years to exact) called "We Didn't Start The Fire". If you haven't heard the song, just type the title in the search box on iTunes, Rhapsody or the Zune database and download it. If you have heard the song you know that he makes many historical references in this song. All can be found on Wikiapida once you get a hold of the lyrics online. A couple months ago I downloaded a greatest hits list compiled by an international music magazine, and "We Didn't Start The Fire" was on there. Mind you I did hear the song before, I just thought it be nice to have in on my Ipod. While I was listening to the song I kept thinking that there should be a part 2 to this song. Since it stop at the 1980s and it was written in 1989. The part 2 should have the decade of the 1990s to 2008 just in time for the election. Featuring well known events like Whitewater, Bush #2 and let not forget 9/11. So, for some stupid reason I decide to write a part 2 to the song just for this blog. Feel free to sing along to the song while your reading this.

So, what you think? Do you think you can make a better version of my part 2? Then why don't you write your own version along with you singing it on youtube for all to see. Lets compare notes and see if there is any other historical references I left out. The research for part 2 of this song was very hard, but thanks to I love the 90s.com and Wikipedia this whole thing would not have been possible.

Thanks to Uncle Tim you win a prize.

In every person there is a trait that totally pisses off their families. Like the people who don’t pick their phone to answer it, they just let the answering machine take care of the rest. The weird thing is I’m related to one of those people. My Uncle Tim and Aunt Vicky have this wonderful habit of not answering their phone, even to their own family. Their always busy with something whether it be work or sporting events for my cousin Tyler. I can at least understand that; but on the other hand they don’t answer their phone when their at home too. I know that sounds stupid, but that the way they are and it annoys the hell out of my mom when we visit them in Pennsylvania. Speaking of sporting events my uncle dose not bother to invite us to see one of my cousin baseball games every time we visit. Hey, the south does have baseball, it still the same. It’s not a snobby quite sport like chess, golf or polo. Just because we live in the south doesn't mean we can still act like every sport fan.

You may ask why this no “relative left behind” crap with your Uncle Tim? Well, it all has to do with the fact that my mom is the only girl in the family and because of that we are nothing but dust in the wind. It’s not just my Uncle Tim but the rest of the 4 Uncles. For example just before we left to go home from visiting Pennsylvania we were not able to see Uncle Tim, Aunt Vicky and cousin Tyler. For they left on their vacation, but to our surprise their vacation was to the beaches of Eastern North Carolina, not to far from our home. And did not know about it, till it was during a sibling phone conference that it was mention. Your probably wondering "why didn't they tell you before or during their vacation". Well in the words of retarded Uncle Tim "our friends were there".

While I was writing the first paragraph I thought up of an idea that will teach Uncle Tim a lesson in not picking up his phone and neglecting to include mom and me in the viewing of Tyler games. Not to mention forgetting to tell us that they were in our neck of the woods and putting their friends over their family.

Originally I was going to give away my Uncle Ted address to teach him about not inviting us to visit him in Connecticut. But stated in the update of my first blog post my mom read the note and now has hidden the address book from me. (She thought I was going to send the note to him.)

Good think I found out where she hid it. Now I can do what I wanted to do in my first post, but decided to change it a little. This time I going to give you Uncle Tim phone number and let you do the talking for me. On second though lets make this a contest, record what you said on the answering machine and not only will it be feature on the blog. You can also win a $25 iTunes gift card to the most creative voice mail you have sent. You can impersonate a celebrity, play a fun song over the phone or whatever you think is funny for me to pick. You can do the following topic as your voice mail:

Tell Uncle Tim the importance of not putting his friends over his family (without mentioning me)

Tell him the importance of picking up the phone and not letting the answering machine do it for him(without mentioning me)

Tell him also the importance of respecting his only sibling of the opposite sex and her family (without mentioning me) Bonus credit for anybody who can reword the song "Cats in the Cradle".

Warning: automatic disqualification to anybody who makes threats, sexual references against them and racial remarks (even though their white). And no swearing!

You may be wondering if for some legal reason I have to take the number down. If it gets him to respect me and mom like taking us to see Tyler play ball or hang out with us for more then an hour, then I will make it a point to do so.

The deadline for submissions is August 1 through August 31. The winner will be named on August 6 and if you are the winner please email me or I'll email you. Please email submissions at CoolMinded@gmx.com The recordings I find the funniest will be featured on the blog and win $25 iTunes gift card.

Diggnation challenge: can you handle it?

At the end of my last post I challenge the readers of this blog that if they form their own Alliance for Better Gas and document it on video for one week. Then feature one of the videos on the blog. Now that sound like a fair deal for some people who are into this viral video stuff. But one day I though up something big that I think may shake this blog to the core. I am officially challenging my favorite podcast “Diggnation” to try and form an Alliance and document it on their show. It’s not only a challenge but an experiment to see if these Internet hot shots have what it takes to save gas and their dignity in this time of high gas prices.

If you live in an Internet cave or heard about the show but didn’t bother to watch on your iPod or computer here’s a history lesson. Diggnation is a podcast dedicated to covering popular stories from the user submitted news site Digg.com. With the comical cursing style of Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht, along with their invisible sidekicks David Prager, and Hippie Glen. I started watching these guys ever since got my iPod for Christmas. It’s a nice show, but not the kind of show grandma would want to see. Or should I say hear, since there is a lot of cursing and may cause old people to die of a stroke and or a heart attack. They live in California, so this experiment is perfect for them. Since the price of gas is more then the rest of America. So that said do Kevin and Alex have what it take to save money on gas. I don’t know, you never know if they try or fail, whatever you choose.

On the other hand if they like they can make this challenge more of a competition between the two host. And make it six weeks then originally plan for the time in the video experiment. That way better results can be made. And same thing goes to everyone else who is interested. Also if they don't except this challenge then they will be forever label as a sissy. (and I plan on using that label in at gay way too)

Next post will be off the topic of gas, but is entertaining if you to read it.

The Alliance for Better Gas

The gas prices these days are sucking at a fast pace, and as usual there is always going to be strange advice on how to better fuel your car. Some good, some bad and some down right ugly will mess up your car if you try. I on the other hand, try not to focus on the chemical way of getting cheap gas, but the logical business way of doing it. So I though up of a better way to maintain cheap gas in a world of expensive gas. It’s called “The Alliance for Better Gas” which is a group of people who form a partnership to save money and their sanity at the same time. All you have to do is follow these set of rules or guidelines (if you want to be politically correct with that) when you are forming your own Alliance.

• Your Alliance should consist of no more than 30 people. The members can be family, friends and co-workers, but no total strangers. You need a trust system with your members and not people who will take advantage of you and the gas that is so deeply needed.
  
  
• The Alliance must carpool to work ONLY, not for fun things, doctors’ visits or stupid scenic driving. There should be a different driver every week; the driver must be responsible for paying that week gas.
  
  
• The Alliance must collect money from the other members about $10 every week. Buy a couple gallons of gas, to be stored in one gallon gas containers. These gas containers will be kept by the “Keeper of the Gas” who is the one that store the gas in the containers. That person will sell the gas to a member of the Alliance for a lot less then what you would pay for at a gas station ($1 a gallon). The money from the sale of the stored gas will go towards buying new gas to be stored for Alliance members to buy for less and when they really need it.
  
  
• In the event of a member misusing the gas containers, like reselling the gas at a higher price to outsiders. The other Alliance members must vote whether to deny that person access to the gas containers or kick them out of the Alliance for misuse of the gas containers for personal profit.
  
  

Warning: Please store gas containers in a cool air condition room and do not place them in any place that can generate heat like stoves, heaters and water vales.

You or some control thinking person may think that this sound like post – revaluation Russia. But it's not, I model this idea after the format of a warehouse club store. Where people pay a fee in order to buy in bulk and for less, for example Alliance members pay $10 a week to buy gas that can be stored for future purchase for less. If you and your friends, family and co-workers feel like starting you own Alliance then document your efforts for one week on camera. Then email it to me and your video may be featured on the blog, just in case it works for you and the others.

When Relatives Attack

In many families there is always a favorite. In my mom side of the family is her brother Ted Dinsmore. Being the youngest and the last of his three brothers and one sister (aka mom). Back in the day we would look forward to seeing Uncle Ted come and visit us (his brothers, sister and their families). But ever since he had kids his visits were short to a day let alone a couple of hours for me and mom. See there always been this unofficial rule in the family that mom and her family (aka me and dad) have to wait for Uncle Ted to see us whenever we visit the family over in Pennsylvania. We can't travel up to where he live in Connecticut, we have to be invited to travel to Connecticut and visit him, which he hasn't done in never. Now he is laying low where he lives and has not seen the family in a year (two for me and mom). And even worse he bought a vacation home in Maine and is spending the entire summer there. Not bothering with plans of seeing his Father and Mother and other members of his family. I got so mad at him for deining access to him and his girls (Grace and Teal) that I wrote him a note. But there is a catch I'm not sending him the note, I plan on posting the note on the blog and letting him found it on his own just by your reaction.



Update: Mom somehow found the note and is mad at me for writing it, so I will not post it for the time being. Since there was lots of cursing and she said that I sounded obnoxious. Which I don't know why mom doesn't understand that she is under her brothers power. For they will not visit her and the family where we are, for she is the only girl in the family. But they don't know the almighty power of the first born Granddaughter and how powerful her Internet skills can be. Throughtout this blog I will profile my family and the cons that goes with them. Not to mention other crazy stuff too (hence the title).
