"So, I hear the coffee shop on Ash Street is closing." Toz said.
"What!? Why?" TGC asked.
"Not enough people are going there, ever since Stubbs Coffee opened up across the street" (Get it, Eyes?)
Eyes swore. "I love that place! We have to save it!"
"How?"
"The only way I know how!"
*cut to Toz, Eyes, and TGC in a coffee shop, surrounded by empty cups of coffee and looking sick*
"How many more coffees do we need to buy to save the shop?"
"About nine thousand, nine hundred and seventy-eight more." TGC replied. *laughtrack*
"Oh, god..." *laughtrack*
"Worth it." *Eyes slams down a coffee cup* "Hit me!" *laughtrack*

Meanwhile, Frank was going about the B-plot of this episode; getting those to sign his petition. He was on the first floor, talking to the first tenant:
1A: Wayne- Vietnam veteran missing his left leg
"I know they don't really mean much to you but... signing this petition will mean a lot to the neighbors upstairs. Can you give us your name?" Frank asked.
"Ugh... I don't care about some damn shrubs! But since you helped me with groceries the other day consider this repayment for that" he said as he put his name on the petition.
"Thanks Wayne; hey if you need any help, just let me know" Frank offered.
"Yea, yea, I know" he said as he backed up in his wheelchair and closed the door.
"Sorry folks; this may be a sitcom but even I don't make jokes about disabled veterans" Frank explained before heading over too...
1B: Joshua and Mildred- elderly couple; about the nicest folks you can meet in Greenfield towers
"Oh of course we'll sign your petition, we know how much they mean to you, don't we Joshua?" Mildred asked.
"Indeed, we see you land on them day in and day out Frank; I mean its strange that you'd fall from the seventh floor but we don't question it" (laugh track)
"Thanks Joshua, Mildred; I'd better go check on Mr. Fields and see if I can get him to sign" Frank said as he turned around and left.
1C: Samuel- WWII veteran; lives alone following the death of his wife
"I... I'm sorry Frank, I gotta think about this. I just haven't been feeling like myself since Nancy died and I don't want to make a decision I'll regret"
"We're talking about the shrubs outside..." Frank deadpanned (laugh track). "But I get it; I'll come back another time, you stay well Samuel" Frank said as the old vet closed the door.
"And 1D is vacant till the next disabled tenant comes so... guess it's on to the second floor" Frank said as he went to the stairs.
"Man, I wonder what kind of reactions I'll get... is a weird thing to think since I know almost everyone in this building" Frank noted *Laugh track
Back with toz and friends...

They were trying something else.
"I feel rather embarrassed" TGC said, clad in nothing but a sandwich board that said "Stubbs Coffee"
"Trust me, customers will come running!" Toz said.
"I need to puke again" Eyes said *laughtrack*

"Having trouble? I can give you ipecac or make you watch The Thing" Toz proposed
"Original or prequel?" Eyes asked
"Prequel" Toz said.
*Eyes goes green in the face, laugh track.
......
Frank went to the second floor, and talked to the residents of 2A.
"Sorry Frank, but Samantha is tutoring at her high school today; but sure I don't mind signing; I don't have to be at the grocery store for another hour"
"Thanks Albert" Frank said as he got the signature. Then he went to 2B where college students Darren, James, Myron, Zach and Kyle lived.
"Hey man, can you come back later, we're focusing on growing weeds now" James said.
"WHAT?!" Frank said in shock.
"Yea, for botany class- we're growing weeds so we can see what weed killers are most effective" he said as he pointed to dirt pots (laugh track)
"Thank God, I thought you meant something COMPLETELY different" Frank said in relief.
"Oh that reminds me- want some smacks?" Kyle offered.
"NO!" Frank said as he ran away.
"Dude, how many times do I have to say it, it's SNACKS! WITH AN N!" He said as he held up a bunch of bags of potato chips (laugh track)
Frank went to 2C where Andrew lived. A quiet man who kept to himself... didn't answer the door. And Wendy in 2D was still at her office so... on to floor three.
......
Back with Toz and crew, they were still trying to attract customers so...
"TGC why are you using that hose and spraying the coffee shop?" Toz asked, confused.
"Well I heard that Seattle has the best coffee shops in the country, so I thought maybe if we replicate the conditions of Seattle it'll make our coffee better!" TGC explained.
"And the hose is..."
"So that outside the coffee shop its all raining and dreary" (laugh track)

"Seattle isn't like that! I'll show you!"
Two hours later, every inch of wall space was covered in Pearl Jam memorabilia and the outside window now had "Seattle's Best" frosted on it. All the employees now wore flannel.
"Wait, won't people think that the servers are lesbians? Isn't flannel a lesbian thing?"
"Not in Seattle!"
So, did business improve? Find out after these messages!

"The British are coming! The British are coming!"
Oh wait, wrong century
"Please, don't squeeze the Charmin!"
Oh, f***, we're sponsored by Cotonelle
"You'll wonder where the yellow went..."
Dang it, everyone here's too young for that. Aw, screw it- back to the show
......
Frank went to the third floor, and 3A was vacant. So...
"Thanks for signing the petition Uncle Mark" Frank said.
"No problem; say, i found a great barbecue place downtown, wanna go later?"
"Sure; but I got to get these signatures" Frank explained.
So Frank went 3C, and as soon as the door was opened he was tackled by three little kids.
"Intruder! Intruder!" They said as they began hitting him... with balloons. (laugh track)
"Tommy! Jackie! Steven! Get off him right now!" The parents said as they began pulling them off. "Sorry about that, Frank. You ok?"
"It's all right; always funny when it happens to someone else, right? I'm pretty much used to being the punching bag around here" Frank said as he dusted himself off (Laugh track)
"I guess that's one way to look at it" The father shrugged.
"Anyway, can I get your signatures to save our shrubs, Patricia and Donald?" Frank asked.
"You want the kids too?" Patricia asked.
"No thanks; I don't want an I.P. Daily, Pat MaHead and Ivanna Sing signing another one of my papers" Frank groaned (laugh track)
Then Frank went to Wallace just as he was leaving.
"Sorry Frank, no time; the water heater broke" he said as he went to the elevator.
"Again!?" Frank said in disbelief.
"Hey! I told him the thing is older than the damn building. But no... "why replace what can be fixed" he says... if I wasn't getting the rent waived this month I'd just not attempt it" he grumbled.
"Floor four..." Frank said.
Quincy the college professor was at work, so was Mary who worked at the electronic store a few blocks away. Going to Aunt Angie's former apartment...
"Thanks for signing, George; oh, and welcome to the building" Frank said.
"No problem; now if you excuse me, got some wiring to fix" he said as he closed the door.
Then Frank went to 4D, where two men opened the door.
"Hey, Simon, Preston... how's it going? I was wondering if I could ask a favor of you two?" Frank asked.
(And yes; they are a gay couple... but I don't want to accidentally write something that steps on any toes so I'll leave the next bit to someone else)

"Oh, hi Frank! What's up?" Simon said.
"I've started a petition to save the shrubs out front, and I was hoping to get your signatures."
"Oh, sure! I can't believe anyone would want to get rid of them."
So they signed the petition and went on their way.

However, getting the next signature was going to be a lot more difficult, as it saw Frank chopping down a tree, breaking into a window, attacking a pair of police officers, and eating a 100 ft. long fruitcake before he was even close to getting it signed. What happened? Weโll find out... right after the commercials! โAre you or a loved one suffering from Postblockistisis? Itโs an increasingly widespread disease that shuts down your thinking processes and makes posting on 3WSR very difficult. It can often be a fatal disease (to the forum itself, not you). If you notice any of the symptoms - including not posting on 3WSR, losing track of stories, not understanding what other people are writing, etc. - please go to www.dieselisnotscammingyou.com and with any luck, weโll get you the treatment you deserve.โ And now back to the show...

Frank woke up from his dream sequence and wondered what the heck was going on. He shook his head clear and proceeded to move onto the next floor
......
At the coffee shop, business was slowly returning and picking up
โItโd working!โ TGC said excitedly. โWe need to make this feel more like Seattle. But how...?โ He asked
โEver hear of grunge and modern art?โ Toz grinned

"We already did that! Is there any Seattle thing we haven't tried yet?"
"Well, there is one thing..." Toz said mysteriously.
"What's that?"
"Rain."
And that's how Tug, TGC, and Toz ended up in the basement of a coffee shop trying to summon the rain goddess.

"Wait, so what was wrong with when I was doing the hose thing?!" TGC asked, confused.
"It's not Tuesday" Toz shrugged (laugh track)
*TGC looks confused, laugh track continues
Back at the apartment, Frank went to the fifth floor. "A and B are vacant... so C was... oh yea, that Ben guy Toz saw once" Frank remembered. So Frank went to knock on the door...
"Oh Toz, great timing, I... who the hell are you?" He said.
"Well I'm Toz's roommate and... I guess I'll come later..." Frank said nervously as he left. *Cut to- shot of Ben, entire body has censor bar over it, laugh track
"Then there's 6D..." Frank knocked on the door to find Morris and Nicole- the young couple who were currently expecting.
"Look, I told you jerks we don't buy into that Anti-vax cra... oh, hey Frank" Morris said as he opened the door.
"If it means anything I know that anti-vax is complete garbage also" Frank assured *laugh track, applause.
"So, why are you here?" He asked.
"Can you and Nicole sign this petition to save the softicus landicus shrubs? They want to take them away and I'm trying to stop them" Frank said.
"Oh, sure" Morris said as Nicole came over and both signed them. Frank then went to the sixth floor.
"Ok... Travis in 6A is at work... oh yea, 6C has five occupants, this'll be easy" Frank said.
*Three minutes later
"Thanks everyone; and good luck on the finals"
"Hey Frank, when you go next door, that that ***hole Dominic that the next time he tries to flirt with us we're calling the cops" Carrie stated.
"Surely it wasn't that bad?" Frank asked. Ashley then whispered into Frank's ear, "Oh my God!" Frank said in shock (laugh track) Frank decided to ignore 6D and go to Sarah in 6B. "On second thought, forget it... wouldn't be polite to write about her while she's not around" Frank shrugged (audience Awws)
So Frank went to the seventh floor.
Not surprisingly, Grant in 7D wasn't around, "well to be fair we haven't seen him since the pilot" Frank realized (laugh track). The 7A occupants, Police officer Carter and his wife Grace were at their respective jobs, and their son Harry was at school, so that left.
"Well, time to see Rachelle and Rebecca" Frank said happily. He rang the doorbell... and an anvil fell on his head. (laugh track)
"Why does this always happen to me?" A dazed Frank said before falling onto the floor.

When Frank came to, he was lying on a couch in Rebecca's apartment.
"You okay?" Rebecca asked. "Where did that anvil come from?
"I don't know..." Frank muttered.
"I have a theory, but you won't like it..." Rachelle said.
"Oh, what?"
"At the research lab where I work, we've been researching a strange virus that causes a peculiar disease... slapstickitis..."
*DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN*

"Slapstickitis?! Wait, I thought you were studying astronomy?" Frank asked, confused.
"Dual major" she winked (laugh track)
"Ok, uh... so what's with this disease?" Frank asked.
"Well, it causes the individual to be prone to extreme and sometimes violent bouts of physical comedy, but as long as someone laughs at the pain, they can just brush it off" Rebecca explained.
"Well, I suppose it is always funny when it happens to someone else" Frank admitted *laugh track
"We signed the petition by the way" Rebecca said, picking up the clipboard.
"Thanks... say, uh, when I leave can you tell Rachelle to turn off the burglar alarm? I really don't want to fall down a trap door today" Frank asked *laugh track

Right so... after discussion... and a very long hiatus, it's been decided that the Sitcom needs a reboot. We've had a lot of fun here but let's face it- we need a refresh if this is ever going to get off the ground again. So... start with a new thread or pick up here?

So... I moved this here because this contains some of our cringiest work and there was some tension between us while we were on this that did affect the kind of posts being made.
But out of respect to everyone, I did not delete it. I just moved it here, out of the open forum so no one else has to see... ahem... this *thing,* whatever it was.
