In this edition of Great Moments in YouTube Comment History, I take you back to a mere few hours ago, when a glorious YouTuber made this post on a CNN news story about the death of Harold Ramis. Finally, the world will know the true story!
Harold Ramis' legacy also included ripping off my idea for a comedy about a man who gets himself cloned. In 1994, I sent Ramis a 20 page outline for a proposed screenplay I offered to write for him for a small fee. My story was called CLONED but Ramis had his secretary from Greenlight Productions phone me to say he was not interested in directing a film about a man who gets cloned. But in 1996, less than two years later, Ramis released Multiplicity with Michael Keaton, a comedy about a man who gets cloned. It was a stupid, idiotic film with no laughs in it. There was nothing funny about it at all. It bombed at the box office and Ramis looked like a gerk for making it. Had he dealt fairly with me and paid me a salary and given me story credit, I would've written a clever and funny script for him but instead, Harold Ramis elected to rip me off by rejecting my 20 page outline and then going ahead and making the movie anyway. He's dead and off the earth now? I won't miss him. I wonder how many other writers he ripped off besides me. I despise what he did to me.

Tommy and Friends Episode IV Ideas
So here is my rough idea for Tommy and Friends Episode IV: Ceaser Crosses the Rubicon
Tommy is busy playing mario party when Pa walks upstairs and demands that Tommy needs to stop playing and go feed his sea turtle. "How is Tiger supposed to reproduce and help me start my sea turtle farming business without it's alfalfa sprouts?" Pa asks. Tommy is about to get into the hot tub on the cruise ship with peach and toad and says he doesn't even like the stupid sea turtle anyway. Pa gets angry and takes away Tommy's Atari Jaguar for a week.
The next day at school, Tommy is still mad at Ma and Pa for taking away his video game system. So, he talks to the sea lion stuffed animal in his backpack and comes up with a plan to get even with Ma and Pa.During a spelling test in Ms. Trollbottom's class, Tommy gets up and says he has to go to the bathroom. His teacher says he has to hold it until the spelling test is over. Tommy walks over to another student's backpack and pees in it.
Next, in principal Alex Slogger's office, Tommy says he learned how to do this from his parents who pee all over everything in the house on a regular basis after drinking a lot of liquids from bottles. The principal asks Tommy a few questions to which Tommy makes up a bunch of bad stuff that Ma and Pa do to him.
The police arrive at Ma and Pa's house and take them away in handcuffs charging them with neglect and abuse. Tommy goes to live with a wholesome christian family who eats sandwiches for dinner and does not allow video games, but requires mandatory folk tale sign-along time after dinner. Tommy hates it there and runs away into the woods where he declares that he has to get Pa and Ma out of jail because at least they were better than this family.
Tommy hatches some crazy mission impossible shit, similar to the first episode, in order to trick everyone and sneak into jail cell and free Ma and Pa. As they are trying to escape, they release the police dogs (Lulu and Muffin) on them and Tommy has to fight them off with his kinex sword. Then Tommy gets bit by one of the dogs and turns into a werewolf and the episode ends with Tommy running into the woods and howling.
I'm definitely open to suggestions. I'm sure there are some ways we could make this better and I dunno if the peeing thing is too much or if the werewolf thing is too random.
