MOVIE
The popular Saturday morning cartoon series created by Rank-Barbera Studios finally gets the big screen treatment, thanks to some moguls at 20th Century Vole. Shakespearean superstar Dame Cheryl Ladd has the plum role of a zany hair stylist who operates a salon in a far-off future where most celebrities truly are plastic. When her best clients switch to the local bump and paint shop for their make-overs, Cheryl uses her Acme Time Bopper to travel into the past where can she try out some new do's on plane crash victims. She seeks to avert any historical paradoxes by seducing a Federal accident investigator played by Kris Kristofferson, the lead vocalist of the Four Nude Tenors. Fiddling with Cheryl's Electro-Matic Hair Teaser, Kris burns a gaping hole in his beard, which is the only refuge left on the planet for the endangered Spotted Wood Owl. A remarkably similiar accident claims the life of his buddy Professor Mayer, winner of a Nobel Prize for Scavenger Hunts. These twin calamities create an irreparable tear in Earth's history, destroying every leap year after 1996. Cheryl and Kris take shelter in an interstitial warp bubble (ranch style with central heating) and wait for a sequel that will never come. Plans for a second film were scuttled when 20th Century Vole was bought out by Puff!, the tobacco industry's cable channel for kids.

FRIDAY NIGHT ARRIVES WITHOUT A SUITCASE
"You were the best thing in a thousand years, Bill"--"I was, wasn't I?"
"First rule: never go to bed with anyone crazier than yourself."
"All I'm getting is temporal censorship from her jump."
"You did not smoke enough, Louise."
"Fast and dirty. This one's falling apart."
"You want someone bashed in the head, I'm your girl."
"Sorry about the high heels, Louise"
"Drop you hanky. Wiggle your behind. You're the girl, Louise. You figure it out."

It's a universal constant: chicks go for a hunky fellow with a macho mane... but are repulsed by telltale flakes on his manly shoulders.
