*** ORLANDO SCRIPT TEASE SHOW ***
Scene 1 The Warm Up:
Vanna White Leather Couch attracts a bit of attention as pups are offered the chance to buy a clue to the mystery message. All contributions--donated to a charity of the bards' choice--are carefully tucked into Vanna's shorts.
This portion of the evening is sponsored by:
Merpups Den Union 405: The Button Fly Jeans of the Merwolfverse

A room full of clever pups can uncover anything....and they soon put their clues together to discover the mystery phrase:
W-H-A-T M-A-R-Y-D-E-E D-O-E-S T-O P-U-P-S: S-C-R-I-P-T T-E-A-S-E
Scene 2 The Tease:
Doc, Rachel and I came across the following Script Tidbits with which to tease you mercilessly. We would have hacked <cough, cough> more information, but a mysterious group crashed sooo many servers that we were unable to complete our investigation. We traced pawprints across backbones all over the globe, but couldn't find the source of the mischief.
(1) Looks like its part of a scene....some directions to the Best Boy!
GRAB THE SET AND SHAKE THE WALL The cabin begins to spin and lurch. DAR AND KERRY grab each others hands tightly. The plane bursts into flames...Oh wait. This is actually a tidbit from 'Tropical Storm: Twenty Omega', being shown exclusively at MaryDee's neighborhood theatre. Nevermind.
(2) notes on new plot development....in the screenplay version, Kerry's first job at EDS is to defeat a stripper virus...
(3) The hood ornament on the Lexus 4x4 is prominent in one shot...sources involved in the filming can't say for certain whether it is Argo or just an ordinary saddlehorn....
(4) Casting notes for part of Dar Roberts--Tryout Sequence. Give wry grin, read scene, give steely gaze, backflip, melt chocolate from a distance of 10 meters.
(5) Director Jae Cavanaugh remembers her meeting with the TS screenplay author vividly. In fact, she recounts the best pick up line she's ever heard was, "Hi, I'm Holly Wulfenden."
(6) Also new to the script....Participating in a charity fundraiser, Ides of March of Dimes, Dar raises $200K by offering an article of clothing worn during the walk.
(7) There is a cameo appearance by a certain fully reclinable leather couch.
(8) Part of an email from actress Reed Lewis to Lucy Lawless on how to get comfortable in the role of Dar...she recommends method acting. One technique she used was to envision herself as the steam of a hot shower....
(9) Out of 135 pages 20 pages do NOT contain any explicit scenes.
(10) Here is part of a chat with the producer:
Debby: You think the pups would be interested in funding opportunities? Ffolly: Sure--what do you need? $30 - $50 thousand? If you can get the script down to just 10 pages without explicit scenes I bet we could raise $100K.
(11) With South Beach as the backdrop, the sport of headboard surfing makes its Olympic-rules debut. It is rumoured that in a yet-to-be-announced TS sequel, Dar will be playing goalie.
(12) A new Merwolf related list has been spawned: Merhawk-Fonts. Interested Hawks can go there to speculate about the layout of the end credits and out takes. In related news, Onelist has made its 23rd facilities upgrade in efforts to keep up with the pups.
(13) Producer is planning a publicity tour featuring stops in showers around the world.
(14) Using the secret code word "Honeybear," Merpups infiltrate the set at every level, interjecting playfulness and rampant Goings There.
(15) Dar packs a 4800 baud sync modem named 'Eeyore' in her Lexus Clue by 4.
(16) The company not known as EDS has had to resort to gluing their boxed shipments shut as all the tape rolls bearing their logo have mysteriously disappeared.
(17) Part of the credits were grabbed from a pre-post-modern production page, which reads:
"Despite 5 nosebleeds, 4 broken laptops, 3 berserker 2x4s, 2 errant pings and 1 lost regulator...no subtext was harmed in the making of this production."
You may question our information, sources and sanity, but now that we have sifted through some possible directions for these truly awesome and inspiring projects (hey--I STILL think that Dar is coming to a shower near me!), it's time to be elucidated by the real Bards.
No introduction is needed for our honored guests, so I'm just going to pass out some bus tokens--POP if you want them to Go There!
