Writer's Block: Cereal: By the People, For the People

Jun 05, 2008 15:49

 Ahaha, we actually had this as an assignment in Wellness class where we had to design a brand of cereal geared towards a certain age group. I believe my group had to gear ours towards the older society. I remember we called it 'Droopy Scoops' and it consisted of tons of fiber and prozac. It had a picture of Naruto's Sasuke on it being grumpy. Anyways, the idea for the title was mine, and here's where it originated from...

Excerpt from "The Naruto Musical Prequel" a friend and I worked on for a while:

“G’morning, milord,” smiled a very perky Kabuto as he saw his master exit his room, and the snake commander turned his head slightly to meet the other’s gaze.

“… Oh, good morning, Kabuto. Your first task this morning is…”

Kabuto looked at him hopefully.

“… is to make me breakfast. I’m quite hungry… Wow, when was the last time I had a decent meal?”

A frown soon replaced the medic’s normally happy face, but he complied and headed to get the man what he had asked for. “Uh… what exactly do you want for breakfast, Lord Orochimaru?”

“Your-… I mean, I want something to eat. I already told you that.”

“… Anything specific, milord?”

“Your d-… I mean, whatever we have. Make something out of whatever we have.”

“… There’s a bit of Tootie Frooties, Frootie Loops, and… Toucan Tooties? Frootle-Oopies? And some Toodle-Oople-Doople-Doopey-Doos? Scroople-Soopie-Moopie-Froopie-Droopie-Poopie-Scoops?”

“…” There was a long bout of silence from the evil sannin before he casually walked over to the window and opened it, “DOSU!!!!”

A voice came from somewhere in the distance. “Yes, Lord Orochimaru?”

“I TOLD YOU TO STOP BUYING THESE SHITTY CEREALS!!!!!!!”

“But they’re a nutritious part of your complete breakfast…”

“NO THEY’RE NOT!! LOOK AT THEM!! THEY’RE ALL DISGUSTING LOOKING!!!!!!”

“But the commercial said…”

“IT’S CALLED PROPAGANDA, YOU INSOLENT, USELESS, GOOD FOR NOTHING SOUND WORM THING!!!”

“… Sound worm thing?”

“PIECE OF CRAP, WHATEVER!!!”

Kabuto watched in mild amusement as Orochimaru then slammed the window shut and turned around, looking absolutely furious.

“… You look awfully stressed, Lord Orochimaru,” commented the new sound ninja, pushing his glasses up a bit. “Would you like a back rub or something?”

“N-… actually, yes. That sounds nice,” the sannin raised a hand to his nose-bridge and pinched it. “Just pour me some Fruit Loops first.”

Kabuto frowned. “The closest thing we have to ‘Fruit Loops’ is ‘Frootie Loops’…”

“Fine, whatever! Just pour me some of that!” The hand nearly punctured another set of ‘nostrils’ on the sides of his nose as he snarled.

And there you have it... ;x

cereal, writer's block
