Someone in the office mentioned (joked) that we should have an SD sitcom and have members as characters.I did link them to the 2005 thread with the storyline of the Slickdeals Family...
That is old...how about a new one?
Here is the link to the original.

All of the wives hate them and want nothing to do with them.
All of the neighbors boys tend to hang out around their house during the hot summer months, hoping to catch a glimpse of them by their pool.
make more of a story...come on...you have time left.
and they all fly off into the sunset, with Autumn, Max, and Slutsky in handcuffs.[/FONT]
We move inside the house. AUTUMN is sitting at her computer. She's angry and mumbling to herself.
AUTUMN: "Summer—[unintelligible]—bitch—[mumbling]—scratch her eyes—"
Lightning flashes outside, followed a handful of seconds later by loud thunder. It makes AUTUMN jump.
AUTUMN: "Storms again! And me here all by myself! Oh what shall I ever do?"
More lightning outside, with louder thunder crashing sooner than before. AUTUMN looks out the window.
AUTUMN: "Maybe I should turn off the computer… I just need to finish pulling my carrots on Farmville—OH!"
Outside view of the house: lightning flashes, strikes the roof. Bright sparks fly and the whole house goes dark. Inside: AUTUMN is touching the keyboard when this happens; after the flash she is no longer in her chair. In the distance a dog howls.
SCENE TWO
Overhead shot panning straight down. What starts as something unrecognizable gradually comes into focus. It is AUTUMN, flat on her back atop a figure dressed in a black dress and striped stockings, with red slippers on its feet. W3KN, CLIVEFROG and JEX stand in a semicircle around AUTUMN and her unfortunate cushion, scratching their heads.
W3KN: "Did you see that? Where did she come from? She landed right on top of BostonGirl!"
CLIVEFROG: "I don't know where she came from but she might've just done us a big favor!"
JEX is poking BOSTONGIRL with a stick.
AUTUMN stirs. JEX & CO. take a step back, almost in unison.
AUTUMN: "Wh—where—what happened? Where am I? Who is—OH!"
AUTUMN has realized she's laying on top of someone and rolls off, quickly standing up. BOSTONGIRL does not move
.
AUTUMN: "I don't think she's breathing, oh, what happened? Did I get into that box of wine we were saving for my birthday?"
CLIVEFROG: "You fell out of the sky and landed right on top of her! I think she's dead!"
JEX: "Look at all the blood! I think that's some of her brains!"
Indeed, BOSTONGIRL is at the center of a rapidly growing pool of bright orange blood. AUTUMN, JEX, W3KN and CLIVEFROG step back further.
AUTUMN: "I didn't mean to! Where am I?"
W3KN: "You're in The Lounge of course! Where did you think you were?"
AUTUMN: "Well of course I didn't know that! The last thing I remember was typing on my computer! How did I get here?"
CLIVEFROG: "I don't know but you've killed BostonGirl!"
AUTUMN: "I didn't mean to! Oh my! I'm so sorry!"
JEX: "Don't be sorry. Nobody liked her. She was a real bitch. Hey, do you want her shoes?"
AUTUMN: "Well I do seem to have lost mine… and hers are so lovely… you're sure nobody liked her?"
CLIVEFROG: "Well somebody might have a long time ago but if they did nobody remembers."
AUTUMN takes BOSTONGIRL'S shoes and puts them on. They fit perfectly. Autumn spends a solid twenty minutes admiring her feet.
AUTUMN: "That's better. My toe hair does make it hard to walk sometimes! Don't I look fabulous?"
JEX: "FAN-tastic for sure!"
AUTUMN: "Okay now let's talk about how I'm going to get home. I have a coupon for Old Country Buffet that expires tomorrow! I have to get over there and fill up a couple of bras with cornbread and ham or my dogs will starve to death!"
CLIVEFROG: "Well I don't know where you came from so I can't tell you how to get there. But Mr. SlickDeals might be able to help!"
AUTUMN: "Who's Mr. SlickDeals?"
JEX: "Mr. SlickDeals is the most powerful man anywhere! He can do anything! He gave me a PS3!"
AUTUMN: "Wow! Well where do I find him?"
CLIVEFROG: "He isn't around the Lounge very much. You could try to become a Mod and then you could send him a Private Message."
AUTUMN: "Well how do I become a Mod then?"
W3KN: "Nobody knows. But there are Mods all over the place. Surely if you head towards the center of the Lounge you'll find some, and you can ask."
AUTUMN: "Okay. Will any of you come with me?"
W3KN: "I can't. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are on in a few hours and I have to go home and watch."
JEX: "I can't. I'm getting my balls waxed later today and I need to go and get drunk first."
CLIVEFROG: "I could, but I don't want to. Look, it's really easy. Just follow the Bacon Salt Road."
AUTUMN: "The Bacon Salt Road? Is the road made of Bacon Salt?"
CLIVEFROG: "No, the road is made of concrete. Bacon Salt just paid to sponsor it."
AUTUMN departs.
SCENE THREE
AUTUMN walks along the Bacon Salt Road, singing.
AUTUMN: "Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday happy birth—oh!"
A voice calls in the distance.
VQ: "Happy Birthday! Is today your birthday?"
AUTUMN: "Hello! Who's there? I can't see you? My birthday's not for seven months but I'm getting ready now."
VQ: "I'm over here, in the field!"
AUTUMN looks around but only sees a very ugly scarecrow on a post. The scarecrow looks more like an ape than a person.
AUTUMN: "I can't see you, hello?"
VQ: "Up here, on this post!"
AUTUMN walks closer to the scarecrow, which finally shakes its head, startling her.
AUTUMN: "OH! You scared me!"
VQ: "My, what hairy toes you have! I can see the toe hair poking out from those lovely slippers!"
AUTUMN: "Fark you! Who ever heard of a talking monkey scarecrow anyway?"
VQ: "Do you see any crows around here?"
AUTUMN: "Fine, good point. Look, do you know where I can find a Mod?"
VQ: "Why would you want to find a Mod?"
AUTUMN: "I need to find out how to become a Mod so I can send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message and ask him how I can get home!"
VQ: "Mr. SlickDeals! I've heard he's very powerful. I wonder…"
AUTUMN: "Yes? What do you wonder?"
VQ: "Well you see I don't have any brains, just stuffing. I've been paying full retail and buying Monster cables and three-year warranties on all of my major appliances. I had to take this job as a scarecrow to pay my mortgage! I wonder if Mr. SlickDeals could give me some brains?"
AUTUMN: "I'm sure he could! If I help you down will you help me become a Mod? Then I'll send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message and ask him to help me get home in time for Oprah, and ask him to give you some brains as well!"
VQ: "That's a great idea! I'll bet if I had any brains I would've thought of that myself!"
AUTUMN helps VQ down from the post. They continue along the Bacon-Brick Road.
AUTUMN: "So what's your name anyway?"
VQ: "VQ. I used to know what that stands for, but I can't remember anymore."
AUTUMN: "I'll just call you Monkey."
VQ: "No problem. Your toes are hairier than mine, anyway."
SCENE FOUR
AUTUMN and VQ are walking along the Bacon-Brick Road when they come to a town. They hear shouting and loud clank-ing sounds from the town square. Hurrying, they arrive in time to see METODAY, RUGRATSGALORE, THRIFTEH, and roughly 75 children ranging in age from 6 days to 17 years old, all hurling stones at a Tin Man who is frozen in place in the center of the square.
AUTUMN: "What are you doing? Why are you throwing rocks at that man? Where did all of these children come from"
METODAY: "Have you HEARD his puns?"
RRG: "Most of the kids are mine. The rest belong to Thrifteh and Metoday."
A rock glances off of the Tin Man's head. He groans.
MLV: "I never thought getting stoned would hurt this much! No wonder they told me to Just Say No!"
The crowd collectively groans and several more people hurl rocks. A few children hit MLV with sticks.
AUTUMN: "Well, I think it's awful! Stop it right now!"
AUTUMN runs to stand between the crowd and MLV. The crowd hesitates, rocks in hand.
METODAY: "Throw 'em anyway! Don't worry about that crazy bitch!"
VQ steps up to stand next to AUTUMN.
VQ: "You might hurt Autumn and her hairy toes but your rocks can't hurt me!"
RRG throws a rock that hits VQ in the stomach. VQ smiles. Meanwhile, AUTUMN is tending to MLV.
AUTUMN: "Are you hurt? How can I help you? Why can't you move?"
MLV: "My joints are frozen shut. I should've known better than to take a bath in ice water! I just wanted to be cool so the kids would like me."
AUTUMN groans but finds an oilcan and oils MLV's joints. He dances around happily.
MLV: "Thanks! I'm MLV by the way. Ham and Swiss!"
AUTUMN: "Ham and swiss? What?"
MLV: "Cheese-to-meat you!"
AUTUMN facepalms.
AUTUMN: "Listen, shut up. Can you tell me where to find a Mod?"
MLV: "Why do you want to find a Mod? Are you trying to form a Squad?"
AUTUMN: "Seriously, stop that. I need to find a Mod so I can learn how to become a Mod so I can send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message and ask him to help me get home."
VQ: "And I'm going to ask him for some brains!"
MLV: "Well, I don't know how to find a Mod, but do you think Mr. SlickDeals could give me a sense of humor? All I want to do is make people laugh but I keep making them angry instead."
AUTUMN: "I'm sure Mr. SlickDeals could give you a sense of humor! Come with us and help me become a Mod and I'll ask him for you!"
VQ: "But stop with the puns, I mean it! I have a can opener and I'm not afraid to use it!"
MLV: "I shall steel myself against making any more bad jokes! I'm so glad to have metal of you though!"
The three companions continue on their way.
SCENE FIVE
The COMPANIONS are walking along the Bacon Salt Road. They come to a clearing where they pause so AUTUMN can eat some bacon dipped in chocolate which she has brought in her purse. While she is eating there is a bright flash of light. AGGIEMOM appears as if out of nowhere.
AUTUMN: "OH! Who are you? Where did you come from?"
AGGIEMOM: "I'm AggieMom, the Good Witch of the North! You were supposed to meet me already but I was busy running a 5k and writing a cookbook. Hello!"
VQ, MLV, AUTUMN: "Hello!"
AGGIEMOM: "Autumn, I cannot help you get home or become a Mod, but because you have done the Lounge a great service by killing the evil BostonGirl, I will give you this gift: my most recent collection of tips and tricks for keeping a clean and healthy home!"
AUTUMN: "Oh, thank you!"
AGGIEMOM: "No one would ever think of harming you while you carry one of my books. And if they ever try, you just hit them with the book! Now I must go, for my dinner is still in the freezer but must be defrosted before tonight!"
AGGIEMOM fades away in a puff of Febreze and a gentle scent of vanilla.
MLV: "I wanted to be a witch but I was very bad at spelling."
VQ: "Anything in that book about trimming toe hair?"
SCENE SIX
THE COMPANIONS are walking along the Bacon Salt Road when they hear something.
AUTUMN: "What's that? It sounds like—like someone's crying!"
MLV: "That's weird, I didn't even say anything yet."
VQ: "Over here! In the bushes!"
THE COMPANIONS rush to the side of the road. They find a small PIG, snuffling softly.
AUTUMN: "Oh what's wrong little Pig?"
PIG: "Everyone wants to eat me!"
AUTUMN: "Well you are delicious. But you're awfully small, I don't think you'd make more than one or two meals—I mean, come with us, we'll protect you!"
PIG: "Where are you going? Someplace safe I hope?"
AUTUMN: "Well, we're trying to find a Mod, so I can ask them how to become a Mod, so I can send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message, so I can go home to Tennessee before the Liquor Board finds my moonshine still!"
MLV: "And I'm going to ask for ESP!"
AUTUMN: "You mean a sense of humor…"
MLV: "Right! A sixth sense!"
Collective FACEPALM
VQ: "And I'm going to ask for… um… what was it again? Bones?"
AUTUMN and MLV: "Brains!"
PIG: "Well I think I saw a Mod before. But I was afraid he was going to eat me! Do you think when you find Mr. SlickDeals, that he could give me some horns or claws or teeth or something to fight back with?"
AUTUMN: "From what I've heard, Mr. SlickDeals can do anything. But don't you mean 'courage?'"
PIG: "No, that sounds way too much like 'curry' and I don't want to take any chances. That Mod went this way, let's go!"
SCENE SEVEN
THE COMPANIONS come upon a house at the side of the Bacon Salt Road. They enter. Inside they find BURNINATOR seated behind a large desk, next to a roaring fire.
BURNINATOR: "Ah! You have brought me the samples?"
AUTUMN: "What? No, sorry. We're looking for a Mod, can you help us?"
BURNINATOR: "A Mod? What for?"
MLV: "We're trying to form a sq—" MLV is cut off when AUTUMN slaps him in the back of his head.
AUTUMN: "Look, it's a long story all right? Can you help?"
BURNINATOR: "Well, I normally don't help people unless they're polite, but, fine. I happen to BE a Mod, now what do you want?"
AUTUMN explains. MLV and VQ chime in as necessary or inappropriate. BURNINATOR nods.
BURNINATOR: "Yes, I can do this thing for you, I can help you in your quest(s). But you must do something for me first."
MLV: "Okay, fine, I'll stop punning…"
BURNINATOR: "Good. But that is not what I am going to ask. You have already done the Lounge a great service by killing BostonGirl. But before I can help you further, you must perform another task."
MLV: "Is there a tisk attached?"
BURNINATOR: "I thought you were going to stop that. Here is your task: you must kill the Wicked Witch of the Lounge. You must destroy |\/|AL."
AUTUMN: "How do you even pronounce that? Pipe-slash-slash-pipe-Al?"
MLV: "She sounds pretty sharp!"
BURNINATOR: "The dash don't be silent. I mean—just pretend it's an M, this is part of why we want to get rid of her. Now go!"
AUTUMN: "Butbut—I don't—" AUTUMN & CO. are ushered out the door. Fade to black.
SUDDENLY, A WILD NARRATOR APPEARS!
TL;DR: "Okay we need to move things along here. Time is getting short and it's a good bet nobody's read this far anyhow. I'm sure you've got the drift, it's a Wizard of Oz parody, blah, blah. I'm here to speed things up. VQ really needs that shirt, he's almost out of clean laundry and his neighbors are complaining about his ugly brown sweater (HE'S HAIRY!). There was a really great scene with Count_Chocula as the head of the flying monkey battalion, PaintTheSkyGrey as the guard at the gates of Admin City, serra and jenni. as the porcelain milkmaid and cow (not telling which was which), and SlickKitty making a cameo as the Cheshire Cat (yes we know, wrong story). Let's jump ahead to the fight scene shall we?"
SCENE EIGHT
Fade in to MAL'S cottage. The COMPANIONS stand in a semicircle around MAL who is cackling maniacally.
AUTUMN: "No wonder nobody likes you! That laugh is horrid!" AUTUMN and VQ cover their ears with their hands, unable to move or act due to the terrible sound.
MLV: "I know how to stop her laughing!" MLV moves in close to MAL and begins to speak.
MLV: "Have you heard about the Buddhist who went to the dentist but refused to take any Novocain? He wanted to transcend dental medication!"
MAL's laughter falters.
MLV: "I was wondering why the baseball was getting bigger—then it hit me!"
MAL stops cackling.
MLV: "I never had the balls to be a juggler!"
MAL looks pained and a little scared.
MLV: "I could never find the time to search for my lost watch!"
MAL is visibly shrinking now; smoke pours from her ears and nose.
MLV: "I noah guy who can save us two of every animal!"
MAL is screaming as she shrinks. She begins to spin like a top. She is very tiny now.
MLV: "I finally got over my fear of hurdles!"
MAL disappears.
AUTUMN: "Well I guess puns were good for something after all! Good job MLV!"
VQ: "Can I go with Mal? Please? Wherever she went has got to be better than this!"
NARRATOR REDUX
TL;DR: "Okay! That was fun! So they went back to see Burn and found out that MLV had a sense of humor all along, VQ had brains but he'd been keeping them in his back pocket for some reason (there was a joke there when I started this I swear), and…"
SCENE NINE
BURNINATOR: "And Autumn… you don't need to be a Mod to send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message! You could do that all along!"
AUTUMN: "GODDAMMIT!"
TL;DR: "And she sent Mr. SD a PM, asked to be sent home and to become a Mod anyway, and was denied Modship but allowed to return to her house in the hills, with The Lounge a fading memory. And yes I know I forgot about Toto but dammit people have other things to do than write movie parodies for stinkin' t-shirts!"
FIN
P.S. - they got hungry and ate PIG before the big fight with MAL.
We move inside the house. AUTUMN is sitting at her computer. She's angry and mumbling to herself.
AUTUMN: "Summer—[unintelligible]—bitch—[mumbling]—scratch her eyes—"
Lightning flashes outside, followed a handful of seconds later by loud thunder. It makes AUTUMN jump.

CLIVEFROG: "Well I don't know where you came from so I can't tell you how to get there. But Mr. SlickDeals might be able to help!"
AUTUMN: "Who's Mr. SlickDeals?"
JEX: "Mr. SlickDeals is the most powerful man anywhere! He can do anything! He gave me a PS3!"

AUTUMN: "Hello! Who's there? I can't see you? My birthday's not for seven months but I'm getting ready now."

VQ: "That's a great idea! I'll bet if I had any brains I would've thought of that myself!"
AUTUMN helps VQ down from the post. They continue along the Bacon-Brick Road.
AUTUMN: "So what's your name anyway?"
VQ: "VQ. I used to know what that stands for, but I can't remember anymore."
AUTUMN: "I'll just call you Monkey."
VQ: "No problem. Your toes are hairier than mine, anyway."

AGGIEMOM: "Autumn, I cannot help you get home or become a Mod, but because you have done the Lounge a great service by killing the evil BostonGirl, I will give you this gift: my most recent collection of tips and tricks for keeping a clean and healthy home!"
AUTUMN: "Oh, thank you!"
AGGIEMOM: "No one would ever think of harming you while you carry one of my books. And if they ever try, you just hit them with the book! Now I must go, for my dinner is still in the freezer but must be defrosted before tonight!"
AGGIEMOM fades away in a puff of Febreze and a gentle scent of vanilla.
MLV: "I wanted to be a witch but I was very bad at spelling."
VQ: "Anything in that book about trimming toe hair?"
SCENE SIX
THE COMPANIONS are walking along the Bacon Salt Road when they hear something.
AUTUMN: "What's that? It sounds like—like someone's crying!"
MLV: "That's weird, I didn't even say anything yet."
VQ: "Over here! In the bushes!"
THE COMPANIONS rush to the side of the road. They find a small PIG, snuffling softly.
AUTUMN: "Oh what's wrong little Pig?"
PIG: "Everyone wants to eat me!"
AUTUMN: "Well you are delicious. But you're awfully small, I don't think you'd make more than one or two meals—I mean, come with us, we'll protect you!"
PIG: "Where are you going? Someplace safe I hope?"
AUTUMN: "Well, we're trying to find a Mod, so I can ask them how to become a Mod, so I can send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message, so I can go home to Tennessee before the Liquor Board finds my moonshine still!"
MLV: "And I'm going to ask for ESP!"
AUTUMN: "You mean a sense of humor…"
MLV: "Right! A sixth sense!"
Collective FACEPALM
VQ: "And I'm going to ask for… um… what was it again? Bones?"
AUTUMN and MLV: "Brains!"
PIG: "Well I think I saw a Mod before. But I was afraid he was going to eat me! Do you think when you find Mr. SlickDeals, that he could give me some horns or claws or teeth or something to fight back with?"
AUTUMN: "From what I've heard, Mr. SlickDeals can do anything. But don't you mean 'courage?'"
PIG: "No, that sounds way too much like 'curry' and I don't want to take any chances. That Mod went this way, let's go!"
SCENE SEVEN
THE COMPANIONS come upon a house at the side of the Bacon Salt Road. They enter. Inside they find BURNINATOR seated behind a large desk, next to a roaring fire.
BURNINATOR: "Ah! You have brought me the samples?"
AUTUMN: "What? No, sorry. We're looking for a Mod, can you help us?"
BURNINATOR: "A Mod? What for?"
MLV: "We're trying to form a sq—" MLV is cut off when AUTUMN slaps him in the back of his head.
AUTUMN: "Look, it's a long story all right? Can you help?"
BURNINATOR: "Well, I normally don't help people unless they're polite, but, fine. I happen to BE a Mod, now what do you want?"
AUTUMN explains. MLV and VQ chime in as necessary or inappropriate. BURNINATOR nods.
BURNINATOR: "Yes, I can do this thing for you, I can help you in your quest(s). But you must do something for me first."
MLV: "Okay, fine, I'll stop punning…"
BURNINATOR: "Good. But that is not what I am going to ask. You have already done the Lounge a great service by killing BostonGirl. But before I can help you further, you must perform another task."
MLV: "Is there a tisk attached?"
BURNINATOR: "I thought you were going to stop that. Here is your task: you must kill the Wicked Witch of the Lounge. You must destroy |\/|AL."
AUTUMN: "How do you even pronounce that? Pipe-slash-slash-pipe-Al?"
MLV: "She sounds pretty sharp!"
BURNINATOR: "The dash don't be silent. I mean—just pretend it's an M, this is part of why we want to get rid of her. Now go!"
AUTUMN: "Butbut—I don't—" AUTUMN & CO. are ushered out the door. Fade to black.
SUDDENLY, A WILD NARRATOR APPEARS!
TL;DR: "Okay we need to move things along here. Time is getting short and it's a good bet nobody's read this far anyhow. I'm sure you've got the drift, it's a Wizard of Oz parody, blah, blah. I'm here to speed things up. VQ really needs that shirt, he's almost out of clean laundry and his neighbors are complaining about his ugly brown sweater (HE'S HAIRY!). There was a really great scene with Count_Chocula as the head of the flying monkey battalion, PaintTheSkyGrey as the guard at the gates of Admin City, serra and jenni. as the porcelain milkmaid and cow (not telling which was which), and SlickKitty making a cameo as the Cheshire Cat (yes we know, wrong story). Let's jump ahead to the fight scene shall we?"
SCENE EIGHT
Fade in to MAL'S cottage. The COMPANIONS stand in a semicircle around MAL who is cackling maniacally.
AUTUMN: "No wonder nobody likes you! That laugh is horrid!" AUTUMN and VQ cover their ears with their hands, unable to move or act due to the terrible sound.
MLV: "I know how to stop her laughing!" MLV moves in close to MAL and begins to speak.
MLV: "Have you heard about the Buddhist who went to the dentist but refused to take any Novocain? He wanted to transcend dental medication!"
MAL's laughter falters.
MLV: "I was wondering why the baseball was getting bigger—then it hit me!"
MAL stops cackling.
MLV: "I never had the balls to be a juggler!"
MAL looks pained and a little scared.
MLV: "I could never find the time to search for my lost watch!"
MAL is visibly shrinking now; smoke pours from her ears and nose.
MLV: "I noah guy who can save us two of every animal!"
MAL is screaming as she shrinks. She begins to spin like a top. She is very tiny now.
MLV: "I finally got over my fear of hurdles!"
MAL disappears.
AUTUMN: "Well I guess puns were good for something after all! Good job MLV!"
VQ: "Can I go with Mal? Please? Wherever she went has got to be better than this!"
NARRATOR REDUX
TL;DR: "Okay! That was fun! So they went back to see Burn and found out that MLV had a sense of humor all along, VQ had brains but he'd been keeping them in his back pocket for some reason (there was a joke there when I started this I swear), and…"
SCENE NINE
BURNINATOR: "And Autumn… you don't need to be a Mod to send Mr. SlickDeals a Private Message! You could do that all along!"
AUTUMN: "GODDAMMIT!"
TL;DR: "And she sent Mr. SD a PM, asked to be sent home and to become a Mod anyway, and was denied Modship but allowed to return to her house in the hills, with The Lounge a fading memory. And yes I know I forgot about Toto but dammit people have other things to do than write movie parodies for stinkin' t-shirts!"
FIN
P.S. - they got hungry and ate PIG before the big fight with MAL.
