the pitch

ok, i've got to get this down on what isn't paper but, you know, is like it. my sitcom...goes something like this: it is about a guy that works in a grocery store. maybe he's, oh, 38. anyways, he's tried and failed at living with girlfriends so when the girl he loves asks him to marry her he says yes on the condition that they keep separate apartments. see? scenes of failed relationships include reading an 1100 page book on the making of the atomic bomb while in bed with girlfriend and one i'll just call room full of farts. i also like the idea of this clearly made up guy carrying his wife over the threshold and then cut to them in bed post-coital where he asks "so, do you want to spend the night?" comic gold. oh, the real catch is that this guy and his friends are always coming up with made up sitcom ideas or scenes. so, in that way it'll be a little scetch-y. i'm thinking kendra can animate some of these asides. if hbo picks it up i'll flesh it out with f-bombs and tits.
