Dale and Lance - by Polly+Anna (1085 words) We record 'Fellatio,' movie #4 (1/24/20)
Monday - November 16, 1993
Our story arc began 11/12/1993 the day after the youngest of us turned 18.
In my highly biased opinion Dale is the funniest guy anywhere. I can't be too very far off-base since Anna and most of our classmates agreed with that assessment. In school he had been given a copy of the useful and humorously titled, 'DOS For Dummies.' He thought that a parody of the dummy type guide for a totally clueless male would make a good movie. Not wanting to steal another author's title - just their ideas - he wrote the script for 'Sex for Do-do's,' and suggested it could be our fourth video.
This is where things sometimes get delicate. Dale is hilarious, and I love his sense of humor. By removing the tiny amount of sex in it, his script would have made a great school play. That was sort of the problem right there. Anna had a great idea, perhaps after we made a few more single subject pieces we could take Dale's script and tweak it just a tad.
Lance could play a clueless geek and Dale could be an even more clueless therapist helping his client with relationship issues. Anna and I could wear wigs and play a number of different potential lovers and we could use the farcical humor aspect as a marketing tool. It could have a dozen short segments each tied to an abject failure, promoting a like number of movies on said subjects. Movies that were actually full blown - pun intended - pornography.
Lance is the most intense person that I have ever met. Not one for maintaining a daily routine, at least not the way that most people do, he has this creative energy that he brings to all things he gets involved in. Like yesterday morning when I flew us all to this gorgeous lodge that Dale's parents had just bought and were planning to develop into an eco-tourism destination.
The 15-minute flight avoided an hour in a jeep to get to a huge private conservation area that boasts 392 bird species, 35 species of bats, river crocodiles and turtles living in four distinct forest habitats - pine, secondary palm, broadleaf and marsh - and a freshwater lagoon. Twenty-two vegetation types and 230 tree species can be found there.
If only Ayn Rand could have seen Lance talking about the lodge and potential renovations and improvements with Dale's father. He was whom she had in mind when she wrote the Howard Roark character in 'The Fountainhead.'
