I need some serious financial backing...
For my upcoming film: SHAKES ON A PLANE!

A story of a disgruntled Dairy Queen worker who smuggles the parts of a milkshake machine onto an airplane and starts serving tasty milkshakes during the flight.

Every time the hero gets close to stopping the wanton calories, the DQ guy offers him a new flavor which he is powerless to say no to.

As the minutes tick by, so does the weight! Passengers are gaining pounds by the minute and threaten the plane's ability to carry them to the Weight Watcher's convention in Las Vegas!

I'm thinking Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington?

2. It would do fabulous business!
Initially, I thought that you'd run up against the problem of conservation of mass: The passengers would be gaining weight, but this would be offset by the reduced weight of DQ stocks that had been consumed. There'd be no additional weight, it would just have transferred from the shakes to the passengers.

Then I realized that most Americans wouldn't have a clue about this, so it wouldn't ruin their enjoyment of the film.

This could be Academy Award material.

3. Hey, so do I!
I'm planning to open a mini-mart type kiosk at 20 major airports -- but not your ordinary mini-mart where you have to purchase things. It's an exchange program. When customers arrive at the airport, they leave their lighters and liquids/gels at the kiosk, get a receipt, and at the next airport, they turn in their receipts and take the necessary toiletries to get through their journey.

Any backers?? :P

4. Sounds good. Should be a great film.

I'm sure it will appeal to the milk shake crowd.

5. WakeMe2008 has his own problem coming up in Nov :)
I have this wonderful cruise coming up in Nov



Problem being with Seabourn all drinks are included with your cruise.... This is where the problem started. :rofl:

First I was told the Sky Bar serves a GREAT Bailey's Banana Colada or BBC for short.

* Bailey's irish cream
* 1 Banana
* Banana liqueur
* Ice
* Pina colada mix
* Dark rum


Then I was told they also make a GREAT Pina Colada with vanilla ice cream......

As I see it each drink must be around a 1,000 calories.

YIPES..... WakeMe2008 must only have one of each or they will roll him off the ship :)

6. Omigod...that's Sweet Death on Ice.
I want that on my "last meal" tray if I'm ever that unfortunate.
Now, if there were only some decent substitute for colada mix (I loathe coconut). Going off to think about this...
:think:
