We're Gonna Be Famous

Well not really famous, but we are working on a commercial for our little business.

The first phase of our HUGE television advertising campaign is news billboards, you can listen to it here. I think we'll probably win an Emmy.

We hope to have a commercial up in about a month (that's phase two & phase three is our own reality program). Our goal is to be a little cheesy/silly BUT memorable. After all, no one wants to buy their flooring from people who take themselves too seriously.

So, right now Cub is LOVING his little tricycle. He still enjoys his stroller walks, but I think he enjoys being more upright while he's getting fresh air.

To me, he looks like a little chariot racer.

  1. A Naylor/Flooring Warehouse reality show can't miss. I think you want to contact one of the more obscure cable channels because I am amazed at the freaks that make it to TV these days. There is no way they could turn down at least one season with you guys on TV. Imagine the following....

    Day 1 of Filming:

    5:30 am Stephanie wakes up and goes for a run

    7:30 am Stephanie feeds Cash

    7:40 pm Stephanie cleans up after Cartman

    7:30 am Matt drives big truck to work. Jams to obscure new Austin rock group. [theme music?]

    8:30 am Stephanie drops Cash off at school

    9:00 am Stephanie and Matt are both in the office.

    What sort of hijinks are those crazy kids at Flooring Warehouse up to today? Tune in to find out!

    Scene options ranked from 1 - 10 in order of potential interest to a TV audience. 10 is most interesting.

    Misfits eating donuts (1)

    Stephanie putting 4 pounds of Splenda in her iced tea (-1).
    [Possible product placement angle though.]

    Matt shaking his head after dealing with difficult customer (1)

    Misfits installing carpet in an apartment building (1)
    - if they also set the building on fire the interest rating will skyrocket to (8).

    Family fight in the office (10)

    Molly sleeping in the office (2)

    Misfits getting drunk on company time while pretending to be invisible so no one can see them drink. (5)
    - Stephanie throwing empty booze bottles at the misfits and screaming "you aren't invisible" (10)

    Matt refereeing and taking bets on a bare knuckle fight between some misfits and the "hobo" who hangs out by the office. (8) Increases to (10) if anyone dies.
    [hey, this is reality TV, that shit sells]

    Misfits discussing the relative merits of Colt 45 vs. Night Train (2) [rating goes up to 10 in the Detroit market]

    Matt hires a one-toothed midget with one hand and one claw-hand due to a tragic tractor accident. (8)
    - Matt tries to train Midget to install flooring but each lesson devolves into a screaming match and fistfight. (10)
    - Matt and/or midget get arrested repeatedly for public fighting and/or urination (12)

    Hosting the First Ever Annual Flooring Warehouse Cockfight and Arts & Crafts Jamboree (9)

    Stephanie attending an Apartment Association meeting and dancing around in a tutu and headdress (7)
    - this skyrockets to a (10) if Stpehanie falls down or punches someone in the face. If she also gets drunk and takes off her clothes while dancing to Berlin's "Sex" you will win an Emmy and be featured on Perez Hilton.

    After work is when the real excitement starts:

    6:00 pm Stephanie and Matt are home.

    6:30 pm Matt make unappetizing but completely fat free meal out of fake cheese, fake bread, and fake meat. [possible product placement opportunity here]

    6:45 Cash eats garbage off the floor and lights a joint

    7:00 pm Stephanie eats 10 Cadbury eggs, a pound of cookie dough, and mainlines 6 Pixie Stix within 5 minutes.

    7:30 pm Stephanie lies on the couch to watch TV.

    8:00 pm Stephanie goes to bed

    9:00 pm Matt goes to bed

    10:00 pm Cash stays up all night to play XBox

    Every Wednesday the camera could follow Stephanie to Liz's house where Stephanie lies on Liz's couch and they discuss the finer points of Law and Order for 2 hours. Stephanie leaves by 7:30 to get to bed by 8 pm.

    Woo hoo let the good times roll at the Naylor house. An average American family living on a roller coaster of excitement in the heart of Central Texas. Who wouldn't watch that show?

  2. Remember our answering machine "ditty's" during summer school in college? In honor of one of our better one's, I think you should rap for the commercial.....

    "...leave a message at the sound of the beep and we'll call you back if your not a creep..."
