Diabetes of Our Lives (Real-life soap in the making)

[StillMamamia]

So, I was on the chat yesterday, and mentioned diabetes is like a soap-opera...just when you think you know what's going to happen, bam, they change the script on you...and someone suggested why not make it into a game, where each one writes a scene or episode. So, if your'e interested, just post whatever you'd like (sad, funny, silly, serious, etc).
I'll start off...just adding characters...you add any others too.


DIABETES OF OUR LIVES

Main characters:

Good Guys
Pan K. Reas
DJ-BetaCell (not very active...tends to disappear)
Uncle Hans Langer (a former Indian-Jones type, living on a remote island)
Een Suy Lin (Pan's cousin and best friend)
Lee Ver (Pan's bodyguard)

Bad Guys
Hi-n-Lo (Identical twins with very different personalities)
DJKA (No scruples, nor mercy type of meanie)
Kay Tawns (DJKA's girlfriend...mostly a follower)

[StillMamamia]

Ok, so maybe not such a great idea :o

**making mental-note to self :
- think before posting
- find brain before thinking **

:D

[Caydens_Mommy]

I think this is funny.. lol.. I just have no clue what to add to.. :)

[frizzyrazzy]

ROFL..

I love it!

Ok, here goes . Set in the fictional town of Cerringe City.

Pan and his cousin Een are sitting in a restaurant - the DoDropLow. Pan is thinking about what to get for lunch when he decides to get a big pizza. EEn gets a worried look on his face. He explains to Pan that he's worried abotu the pizza. That he thinks the evil twins hi n low have tampered with the pizza. He explains that the rumor is that lo will show up first and then hi later on tonight and that Pan needs to watch out.

Will Een be able to help pan? Will Pan enjoy the pizza? Has Lo spiked the pizza and will Hi show up tonight at midnight?

And then PAn takes a sip of his diet soda while pondering the great pizza debate...but wait, is it diet...duh duh ddduuuhhhh...

:D

Oh no I love it!! I'm just not witty enough to come up with anything. I was trying to come up with a city - but I love Cerringe City!! :D I was thinking Homosapien City or something, but that just wasn't sounding good. LOL

[frizzyrazzy]

And then PAn takes a sip of his diet soda while pondering the great pizza debate...but wait, is it diet...duh duh ddduuuhhhh...

Een being so prepared, always carries around the old fashion urine glucose test strips and sticks one into pan's soda. Just as suspected, HI has spiked the soda and given pan regular soda!

hey, I don't get LeeVer?

[Lee]

Een being so prepared, always carries around the old fashion urine glucose test strips and sticks one into pan's soda. Just as suspected, HI has spiked the soda and given pan regular soda!

Thanks to Een vigilance, Pan called the Food Police and had Hi arrested for impersonating a diet soda! But, thinks to the wonky court system - he was soon released on bail since there was no proof in the numbers!

[StillMamamia]

hey, I don't get LeeVer?


Liver :o
Pan K. Reas is like a celebrity in Cerringe City, so he needs a bodyguard? I just thought organs of a feather stick together :eek: even if it doesn't make sense...

[Lee]

Actually that does make perfect sense, since if the evil Lo attacks the bodygaurd LeeVer steps up to the plate! (Warped minds have to stick together, you know :D)

I couldn't make LeeVer into a real thing - I get it now though. LOL

I thought of one :

Setting : Cerringe City Int'l Airport

Pan, still shaken up from the DoDropLow's incident, awaits his old friend's arrival, DJ-BetaCell. It's been a while since they've seen each other.
DJ-BetaCell left unexpectedly last time, after DJKA's assault at the Cerringe City famous (and only) nightclub 'See G Ems'. DJ-BetaCell was pretty devastated after that...he took a hiatus at Uncle Hans Langer's place...

[OSUMom]

This needs to be published in a comic book!!! :D

[frizzyrazzy]

DJ Beta cell arrives and he looks at pan and says "gee pan, you're not lookign too good"
Pan thinks to himself, "you know, I suspect that DJ Beta Cell is in cahoots with Lo of the famous hi n lo twins. Because ever since DJBC has arrived, I've felt a bit odd"

Pan replies, "no no I feel fine", trying not to let on that he suspects djbc is really not a good guy, at least not at this unprepared moment.

meanwhile, pan secretly alerts LeeVer to a potential situation that might require not only LeeVer's help but the full forces of G.L.U.C.A.G.O.N..

Pan decides to enjoy the pizza and suspicious soda anyways, but unfortunately his good friend Een Suy Lin forgot to invite their other mutual friend, Anita Bolus. :eek: Looks like real trouble this evening!!...

[Ella's mom]

Paula!!! Love it that you went for Diabetes of Our Lives:D I haven't read through yet but looking forward to it!!!

[Ellen]

Nosy Aunt Apidra hurried into town to get the scoop so she could dash home and post on her HumaBlog.

[frizzyrazzy]

on her way into town she passes the bus stop and who does she spy? That promiscuous TCell. !!! Wagging her wares at NOD female mice! Plenty of fodder for her Humablog.

[Ellen]

As Aunt Apidra boarded the bus, BeeBee Rat jumped up and bit her in the tush, and then yelled "how dare you doubt the veracity of the latest report!". Aunt A tumbled backwards and landed on her laptop leaving it with quite a road dent.

[frizzyrazzy]

Meanwhile, watching all this from the DoDropLow was kay tawns. She was hanging out waiting for her boyfriend DJka. She was getting pretty darn Pee'd that she had to wait this long already. She started to day dream. ~~I wonder how Een su Lin and I would get along? ~~~

[toohughey]

Watching quietly from a dark corner of the DoDropLow was Sore Lancetlot and his partner Miss D. Meter. They were monitoring the situation untill the time was right to blow the wistle on the whole underground operation devised by the twins to overthrow Een Su Lin!!!

[frizzyrazzy]

They were monitoring the situation
BWHAHAAHAH...

[toohughey]

Kay Tawns knew she should wait for DJKa, but as usual she liked to show up for everything first and often Een Su Lin showed upand she felt like she was unwanted.

[toohughey]

Meanwhile backat ranch Torso, DJ BetaCell paces and worries that he is wasting away to nothing. He is a little unsure of the promiscuous TCell's previous partners and he may have "caught" an STD. He always knew she was trouble, but she caught him in a weak moment.

[toohughey]

DJ BetaCell hears a knock at the door. Of course he is peeing again and he rushes with a big bottle of water to answer the door.

He finds Kay Tawn there and she is looking ravishing and inviting.

He quickly gets a little queezy and needs to take a nap.

Kay Tawn eases him to the floor and waits for DJKA to arrive.

[toohughey]

Scene shift to Pan K. Reas in his car trying to get DJ BetaCell on the phone. Pan has a bad feeling and he is racing to his close friends home.

He has always suspected that BJ was dealing with Kay Tawns and she is bad news. BJ has secluded himself from his friends--including his childhood friend Een Suy Lin.

[toohughey]

Back at Ranch Torso:

Kay Tawns races into DJKA's arms and then helps him to ransack the ranch looking for money and they rob DJ BetaCell blind.

As DJ lays unconscious, they throw gasoline on the ranch and set it aflame. DJ is gone.


(note: as a diabetic soap opera, someone had to go and he was it!!)

[toohughey]

Pan arrives too late. he is devistated. How will he live with out his friend and business partner. The ranch will go down now.

He begins to feel sick and thirsty and heads to the local hangout--DoDropLow.

As he sits sadly at the bar, Sore Lancetlot and Miss D. Meter approach him.

Sore strikes up a conversation and mentions that he and Miss Meter have noticed his discomfort.

[toohughey]

Pan notes that Lancetlot is very perceptive.

Lancetlot lets Pan know that Miss D Meter has some talent for sensing when someone is feeling High or low.

After some conversation they realize they have a mutual friend in Een Suy Lin. Miss D. Meter has worked with Een on may progects that were out of control and got them bac on track.

[toohughey]

Later the Next Day:

Pan considers his new friendship with Lancetlot and Miss D. Meter a godsend. He contacts Een and proposes a partnership.

Een agrees and the four meet at the DoDropLow. They form a plan to overthrow the evil twins Hi and Lo and the N.E.E.D.L.E (Notorious Endocrine Ending Deranged Legion of Evil) empire.

[StillMamamia]

DJ BetaCell hears a knock at the door. Of course he is peeing again and he rushes with a big bottle of water to answer the door.

He finds Kay Tawn there and she is looking ravishing and inviting.

He quickly gets a little queezy and needs to take a nap.

Kay Tawn eases him to the floor and waits for DJKA to arrive.

PS - Your minds are way too thwarted......I LIKE THAT! :D

[StillMamamia]

Back at Ranch Torso:

Kay Tawns races into DJKA's arms and then helps him to ransack the ranch looking for money and they rob DJ BetaCell blind.

As DJ lays unconscious, they throw gasoline on the ranch and set it aflame. DJ is gone.


(note: as a diabetic soap opera, someone had to go and he was it!!)


Hmmm....but is he really gone....tatadadam....commercial break:eek:

[kiwikid]

Meanwhile the N.E.E.D.L.E gang have regrouped. They know that EEN likes to travel by tube and they have a plan to crystalize him there. The N.E.E.D.L.E have tried often to recruit Kay Tawns to their team, and they think this time may be it. If they can crystalize Een for long enough without LeeVer noticing, they know that Kay Tawns will join them with lightning speed. They aren't aware though that Miss D Meter and Sore Lancetlot are also checking on Eens movements.

[toohughey]

Peerental Discretion Advised :eek:

PS - Your minds are way too thwarted......I LIKE THAT! :D

Sorry, didn't mean to go too far!! I will try to add more after work.

Oh, no, don't apologize...it was great!! Thanks for contributing, your ideas are wonderful!

[frizzyrazzy]

somewhere in a dark dank basement we see a woman in a white coat working furiously over something on a lab table, we can't see the womans face but she stands back and say "eureka, I've done it. ..I've brought DJ Beta Cell BACK TO LIFE!!"" She tells dj beta cell that he's been regenerated but that he must plan his move back into Pan's life carfefully and slowly.

Somewhere in the Pancreatic Sea....
Uncle Hans Langer peers over the woman in the white coat.

'Excellent, Hope! DJ Beta Cell is priceless to me! We need to keep him alive as long as we can...'

'Yes, Hans...I know...his help will be precious to us!' replies Han Ee Moon, Een Suy Lin's stepsister....

**Commercial break : Breaking News....Oprah to devote one week's worth of programming to Type 1 Diabetes Awareness**

Oh I'm sick!!!!! I got goosebumps reading this. My biological system doesn't know reality from fantasy. I need help! :p

[toohughey]

Pan remembers an old ally—Dr. Hope. She may have some answers for the G.L.U.C.A.G.O.N. team (Glucose Liberation Underground Crusaders against Goons of N.E.E.D.L.E). She has been out of reach ever since the disappearance of DJ BetaCell.

N.E.E.D.L.E (Notorious Endocrine Ending Deranged Legion of Evil) is planning to end the Ranch Torso empire for good and will stop at nothing to achieve their evil goals.

[toohughey]

Then while Pan is busy with Een Suy Lin (he always feels better when he is around) and Anita Bolus (who always manages to arrive at meal time along with her clingy kid Basaline) working on a new house in Ranch Torso headquarters, he recieves a mysterious Text message on his XTcell phone.

The message is garbled and hard to decipher: #$%Cell __ Com#$ng in 3 %ays.

[jcanolson]

And?:confused::confused:
Don't leave us hanging!:D

[toohughey]

Meanwhile at the DoDropLow bar, Hi and Lo work on their devious plans. They are going to get Kay Tawns to infiltrate Pan and Eens team. Then she is to get that promiscuous T-cell to come in with her to distract everyone while Kay destroys some vital equipment needed for the rebuilding of Ranch Torso.

[toohughey]

In their temporary HQ at the Ranch, Een and Pan try to figure out who is coming in 3 Days and why. Sore Lancetlot and Miss D Meter analyze and Compile the data and promise to monitor the incoming signals.

There is a knock at the door and in walks Kay. She says she has some information for Pan but everyone else—Especially Anita bolus and Basaline—have to leave.

Reluctantly, they go.

[toohughey]

Kay then pulls a dozen Krispy cream donuts out of her purse. Pan just love those things and he knows Een would not like it if he ate them.

With Een out of the room, Pan gives in to his weakness and eats two donuts.

Kay waits until he feels drowsy and brings in T-cell. She is dirty and smells like garbage with a Juicy Fruit undertone.

[toohughey]

Back on the Island in the Pancreatic Ocean:

Dr. Hope gets DJ BetaCell ready for his trip. He will be flying on PanArtificial.

Dr. Hope tells DJ to go Quickly—Pan needs him to keep the Ranch Torso Project alive.


(Going to bed now, I will check back during my DD 2am BG check----TRACY)

[StillMamamia]

Dr. Hope gets DJ BetaCell ready for his trip. He will be flying on PanArtificial.

(Going to bed now, I will check back during my DD 2am BG check----TRACY)


DJ Beta Cell sits in the airplane, wearing his protective suit. He knows he will need it against the enemy.
Dr. Hope Ees Nawt Gawn fabricated a special suit for DJ, one which makes him invincible against the dark forces of Hi-n-Lo. The suit has a protective coating which lets DJ Beta Cell pass incognito in Hi-n-Lo territory, but still makes him recognizable by his allies...but there is one drawback...it's a flashy fuschia-coulour. Dr. Hope loves this coulour and insisted on using it, against Uncle Hans' request :rolleyes:

[OSUMom]

I put up to day 5 I think in a Word document and emailed to Dean. He loved it! I have to keep up and send him the continuing saga. Y'all are so funny. Any artists out there who could add to this? We could get this published and raise money for a cure!! Always thinking!!! :D

[toohughey]

Back at the ranch that same day:

Kay and promiscuous T-Cell are waiting for DJKA to arrive. They don’t know that DJ BetaCell is on his way.

In the next room, Een, Sore Lancetalot and Miss D Meter begin to get uncomfortable. They sense that something is going terribly wrong and rush in.

Anita Bolus is the last to arrive and they find Pan on the floor. He looks thirsty and he wet his PANts. Kay Tawns and T-Cell are out of sight (they can’t stand the sight of Anita).

Anita and Een are able to stabilize Pan, but he is unconscious. They take him to Cerringe City Hospital. Lancetalot and Miss D Meter stay to keep tabs on the situation and report that he may recover. They know that only DJ BetaCell can truly help.

[StillMamamia]

Dj Beta Cell is still sitting in the airplane. He's not happy about wearing the fuschia suit...all the other passangers look at him like he's weird....'Oh boy...this Dr. Hope better know what she's doing...'

Scene shifts back to Uncle Hans Langer's island...

'I told you not to use fuschia...too flashy...he won't be able to pass incognito anymore..' screams Uncle Hans Langer, flashing his arms wildly, his face red and looking like a volcano about to explode...fuming...

' Calm down Uncle' says Han Ee Moon ' I'm sure Dr. Hope has a valid explanation for her choice of coulour'

' Indeed I do...and thanks hon'...I mean Han'...'Fuschia is the only coulour capable of maintaining the protective coating...DJBeta Cell was put on the first flight available and the plane will land at MoUth Int'l, then DJ needs to take the bus down Ezo Fagus and get off at the end of the line at GasTricky Circle...this is worse than a neighbourhood filled with gang-wars...it's pure hell...one step inside the Circle and you're gone...so the fuschia coulour will help Dj Beta Cell pass unharmed...yeah, so he'll probably look like an tourist, but noone will bother him, I'm sure...'

'Oh, let's hope it works!' Chorus Uncle Hans Langer and Han Ee Moon.

Han climbs out of the dark dank basement and steps out onto the porch and gazes out onto the immense Pancreatic Sea...'How beautiful....I hope to leave here one day and be reunited with Een Suy Lin again...this time forever...' Tears trickle down her cheek...'I just need to trust Dr. Hope...'

[frizzyrazzy]

I'm just laughing so hard right now! lol..I've got nothing. Ezo Fagus killed me. ROFL....

[Ryans-Rock]

Meanwhile......there is a rumor going around that something is happening at the Sharps Containment Center.........(Right outside of Cyringe City)

[Ryans-Rock]

Back at the DoDropLo, Sitting quietly in the back. Sits, CalKing. wondering why he felt so compelled to get off the bus at this strange city.

[albasmom]

you guys are soooo funny :D LOL Thanks for making me laugh at diabetes. I needed that :)

[StillMamamia]

Meanwhile......there is a rumor going around that something is happening at the Sharps Containment Center.........(Right outside of Cyringe City)


Hi-n-Lo have conjured up the most macchiavelic of plans...bringing back the Old School boys...the ones who gave Cyringe City a name...that's right...the Glass Cyringe Boys and the Dull N.E.E.D.L.E. Gang....their goal...do away with the P.U.M.P.S. (Protectors of Underground Manifestations of Periodic Slothfulness)....tadadadum...


PS - if anyone has a better name for PUMPS, feel free to say so...

[StillMamamia]

Back at the DoDropLo, Sitting quietly in the back. Sits, CalKing. wondering why he felt so compelled to get off the bus at this strange city.


CalKing peruses the DoDropLo's menu...'10, 35, 95, 0.55637....hmmm, don't know that one...oh, it's a new addition....' He can't help it...he's not human, he's a bookanoid...Looks like a human, but thinks like a carb-calculating book...Hi-n-Lo want to destroy him too...he knows too much...and DjBeta Cell and Pan K Reas and company enjoy his company too much...CalKing MUST be destroyed...

But how....**commercial break**

[Ryans-Rock]

Sore Lancetlot and Miss D. Meter have decided to take a stroll along the outskirts of town to see if they can figure out what is happening at the Sharps Containment Center. Pan & Een Suy lin see them and tag along. Once they arrive at the center they notice a sleek new car.
Miss D.Meter "Could it be?" Surely not!
Sore Lancetlot- What Miss D.? What are you thinking?
Een Suy Lin - "I know exactly who that is. It has to be the new Hypo Mobile that brought the Dull N.E.E.D.L.E. Gang to town.
Pan K Reas- "SHHHHH" I hear some one.

LeeVeer- It's me, Pan. I seen you guys headed this way and couldn't let you head here without me. I was almost seen. I spotted a few members of the Glass Cyringe Boys along with the Dull NEEDLE Gang. What is going on here?

[StillMamamia]

The leader of the Dull N.E.E.D.L.E. Gang steps out of the pimped-out car...pulls up his collar and walks towards the SCC (Sharps Containment Center).

'Hey MC Pointless!' someone calls him from the shadows
Pointless looks around...his sharp-edge features have softened with time, but you still recognize the piercing gaze of his eyes...

'Lo...is that you...you're shorter than I thought!' says Pointless

'Yeah, ok, ok, just stop it ok...I get a lot of flack about that, being short...yeah, I know, shorty here, low-life there...'

'Ha, ha, ha, ha....gotta love my vertically-challenged brother, Pointless!' says Hi, stepping out from behind his brother 'He's just jealous...I've got a better view than him...hahahaha!'

'Hardiharhar!' laughs Pointless, breathing heavily...

***Director yells 'Cut!!'
Steps down from his chair, and stomps up to Pointless.
'Now, what was that??? You think we're filming what??? Cyringes of the Caribbean meet Pumpers Strike Back or something?? Get a grip, will ya'!?'

Director goes back to his seat 'Seriously, with the Actors' Guild on strike, I've got to work with this.....(rolling eyes)'

'Lilly....get me a coffee, will ya?'

[toohughey]

"Pointless looks around...his sharp-edge features have softened with time, but you still recognize the piercing gaze of his eyes..."


ROFLMAO..............Great Stuff

[StillMamamia]

Aunt Apidra paces nervously in front of the new chinese restaurant 'Pum Ping'.
CalKing called her a few hours earlier. He wants to talk to her and keep her updated on the C.A.R.B.S. (Central Agency of Rapid Balance of Sugars).

Finally, CalKing arrives.

'Apidra, looking gorgeous as ever?...whoaa...where are you going so fast?'

'My time is precious...I need to do things quickly...I don't work over-time you know...I'n quick and effective!' replies Aunt Apidra

'Ok, ok...you're so different from your sister Len Tus...' says CalKing

'Yeah, yeah...she's got all the time in the world...no rush for her ever...ok, so, what's up?'

'C.A.R.B.S. needs you to get all the agents together...Hi-n-Lo are planning something, as you know...just got confirmation that DJBeta Cell is on his way, approaching GasTricky Circle...he may not make it...'

'How do you know all this, Cal?' asks Aunt Apidra, curious.

'Can't tell you the name just yet...but it's a CDE (Certified Delivery Expert) who brought this information to our attention.' replies CalKing, and leaves.

Aunt Apidra decided to try the new chinese restaurant anyway...goes in, sits in a secluded booth...and takes her cell-phone.

'Anita??? It's Apidra?? How's that kid of yours, Baseline?? Still clingy as always?? Yeah, I know, he needs to feel stable and all, but all the time??? Seriously, you should incorporate some changes into his life once in while...think about it...'

Apidra hangs up...she loves her niece Anita Bolus...if she could only tell Anita about her father...Hans Langer....


N.B.-The name of the chinese restaurant and the CDE title have been generously contributed by Ellen:D

[toohughey]

Outside The SCC:

Sore Lancetlot, Miss D. Meter, Pan, Een Suy lin, and LeeVeer are observing a meeting between the Glass Cyringe Boys along with the Dull NEEDLE Gang. They gasp as they realize that Lo is in on the action…. Hi cannot be far behind.

MC Pointless begins to tell Lo his plans to overthrow G.L.U.C.A.G.O.N. by stopping BJ BetaCell and taking over Ranch Torso. Hi and Lo can have the run of the place. Lo wants to set up shop with Han Ee Moon, even though she loves Een Su Lin. He can make her happy.

Lo calls Hi so they can have a conference call on the cell phone. Hi states that he can get Miss T-Cell to help take care of BJ, but she will need help getting him out of his protective suit—the guy has got to shower sometime!!

[StillMamamia]

Back at GasTricky Circle...

DJ Beta Cell stands in the middle of the busy intersection. He feels uneasy. All the passers-by looking at him up and down. They're wearing flashy coulours, even the windows on the run-down buildings have red-lights on them...a very coulourful place...but no fuschia...strange.
DJ Beta Cell wishes he could find a place to hide...he's tired of hearing the passers-by make less-than-friendly remarks about his suit...
'Hey Pink Lady!'
'Lookin' good Pinkerbell!'
'Wanna come and paint me, Pinkasso???!!!'

'It's not pink...it's fuschia!' retorts DJ Beta Cell but in vain...his voice drowned out by the cars speeding by, honking and by the general cursing going on....Noone here cares...it's a cell-eat-cell world...

'Hey there, you good lookin'...'
DJ Beta Cell turns around, and sees Promiscuous T-Cell approaching him, swinging her curvilinear hips to a noiseless (albeit hip) beat...
'Hi' DJ Beta Cell says...he's relieved to finally have some company...
'You look lost, Pinky...my name's Promy'
'Hi Promy...and it's not pink, it's fuschia actually!' exclaims an exasperated DJ Beta Cell.
'I'm coulour-blind hon'...' says Promy

DJ Beta Cell is confused...what a strange creature, he thinks, and slowly starts backing away. He'll look for a place to stay for the evening. He's tired. Those darn PanArtificial charter flights...too many stops and still not very reliable. He could also use a shower, the darn fuschia suit makes him sweat too much.

'Leavin' so soon Pinky-Baby??!!' Promy calls after DJ, but he's already running across the acid-smelling circle.
Promy takes her cellphone.

'Hi HI...it's me, Promy. DJ-Beta Cell is here, you can't miss him, wearing pink...'

'Pink??!! That is sooooo last-season, so out like the Exubera-look. Dr Hope and that Langer-dude need to come up with a better plan....' says Hi at the other end of the cellphone.

At the HQ of C.A.R.B.S. (Central Agency for the Rapid Balance of Sugars)…

An emergency meeting was called, and most of the principal agents were present:

- Aunt Apidra volunteered to take the minutes for the HumaBlog
- CalKing, head of the Food Police
- Sore LancetLot, founder of P.O.K.E.R. (Precise Official Knowledge of Emergency Reading)
- Miss D. Meter, an expert in coding
- Lee Ver, aka Rebound-Man and proxy-representative of G.L.U.C.A.GO.N.

They exchange glances…they know they need to find a full-proof strategy to combat Hi and Lo. Things are not looking well for Dj Beta Cell, still wandering the streets around Gastricky Circle.

'Anyone know if Pan and Een are attending today's meeting?' asks Lee Ver

'Don't think so...they're on their way to find Dj Beta Cell and hopefuly get to him before Hi and Lo's people get to him.' Replies CalKing.

'So I guess we'll proceed without them....anyone else missing...oh, yes, Anita Bolus...late again', says Lee Ver, rolling eyes 'Is she still having trouble with Basaline at daycare?'

Scene shifts to the C.A.R.B.S. daycare room...

'Basaline, dear, you'll see you'll like it here...look at the other kids...hey, there's Bob, see? He's seems nice...and his sister Pia...hi Pia, how are you sweetie?' says Anita Bolus, waving.

'It's not Pia...it's Dia!' exclaims Bob, standing up for his sister.

'Oh, I thought Basaline told me you were Pia...ok, sorry, then Dia it is!' smiles Anita.

'Basaline, stop being so clingy...seriously, this will do you good...you'll learn so much from being around Bob and Dia.'

'But Mommy!' whines Basaline , 'They hate me because they're cool and I'm not...they make fun of me too, saying I'm afraid of change.'

'Well, you are...Aunt Apidra was right...you do need a change of pace sometimes...so go...go...stop whining, ok! I'm leaving now, bye...will pick you up after the meeting.'

Anita Bolus dashes to the elevator. She hates leaving Basaline on his own, but she needs to go the meeting.

'Sorry I'm late!' says Anita apologetically.

'Ok, let's begin with the most important news of the day...Dr. Hope has just e-mailed news of a possible full-proof way to combat Hi and Lo forever...it's been successful in R.A.T.S. (Rodents Are Totally Scientific).' says CalKing

Hiding in the shadows, stands Kay Tawns...listening to the meeting...she was able to come in secretely, using Dj Beta Cell's key she stole when she and DjKa set fire to Ranch Torso.

Lee Ver smells a strange, fruity smell...

To Be Continued…

[Mama Belle]

I just saw this thread and am amazed at the wittiness. You guys are killing me. Now I just want to find out what happens to DJ BetaCell!

[StillMamamia]

Pan and Een arrive at GasTricky Circle…they need to find DJ Beta Cell before it’s too late.

‘Pan…this place is full of seedy rundown motels…do you think DJ could’ve gone into one of them?’ asks Een.

‘I have no idea…he’s used to five-star hotels, like that Club MedLantus in India he stayed last year.’ Replies Pan.

‘Oh, right…I remember that…the one with the ocean-view and bar serving You’reIn cocktails…DJ was a bit put off by that wasn’t he? I mean, the name and all…not very appetizing…yuck!’ says Een

‘I know…but Dr. Hope recommended the place and Uncle Hans Langer goes to India quite often…’ says Pan

‘Well, I guess we’ll have to figure out where DJ could be staying…’ says Een.

The both wander around the streets sprouting off GasTricky Circle, and suddenly spot Promiscuous T-Cell entering one of the motels.
They follow her…she seems very determined…bad news, think Pan and Een.

The motel reeked of the most bizarre mix of stenches…Pan an Een held their breaths for as long as they could upon entering it.

Promiscuous T-Cell (Promy) was already heading up the wooden, squeaky stairs.

‘Hello there, Mr. John…’, Pan greets the reception man, reading the name plate sitting on the counter…a funny looking fellow, with greasy hair plastered back and numerous gold-chains hung around his pimply quadruple-chin.

‘What d’ya want ?’ asks Mr. John.

‘Do you mind telling us where that lovely creature is going?’ Points Pan to the stairs Promy just took.

‘Yeah…she’s sumtin’else ain’t she? She said she was with some guy DJ Bet a Lot or something’

‘You mean, Beta Cell…can you tell us which room he’s staying in, please’

‘That’s gonna cost ya’ Mr. John squinting his red-blotched eyes and fixing Pan and Een…

Een was getting upset…they had no time to lose…he looked at Pan and they nodded their secret nod….in the blink of an eye, they threw Mr. John down on the floor and taped his mouth. Pan looked at the register book and saw DJ Beta Cell’s room number.

Een and Pan ran up the stairs and found Promy entering DJ Beta Cell’s room.
They approached silently, and heard the shower running inside…Promy was heading towards the bathroom…a syringe full of a familiar liquid in one hand.

‘Nooo, not a SET (suspicious environmental trigger)….DJ will not survive…’ thinks a desperate Pan…

[StillMamamia]

One question...I don't get Uncle Hans Langer......?


It's a spin-off on Islets of Langerhangs. The description below is taken from the following link:

http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=7290


Definition of Langerhans, islets of

Langerhans, islets of: Best known as the insulin-producing tissue, the islets of Langerhans do more than that. They are groups of specialized cells in the pancreas that make and secrete hormones. Named after the German pathologist Paul Langerhans (1847-1888), who discovered them in 1869, these cells sit in groups that Langerhans likened to little islands in the pancreas. There are five types of cells in an islet: alpha cells that make glucagon, which raises the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood; beta cells that make insulin; delta cells that make somatostatin which inhibits the release of numerous other hormones in the body; and PP cells and D1 cells, about which little is known. Degeneration of the insulin-producing beta cells is the main cause of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.

[MissEmi]

Oh, okay, thanks a lot!!!!

[StillMamamia]

Scene shifts to Chicago...at Oprah's studio...

'Oh, Uncle Hans, this is so exciting! Do you think we're gonna get a car or like a trip to FFL or something? Oh, oh...maybe we're going to meet a star, like Dr. Sarah Ferber or something...' says an ecstatic Han Ee Moon.

'Will you calm down, we're here to make people aware of our cause...not for Oprah's Favorite Things! Geez...' says Uncle Hans, rolling his eyes.

'That's right...we have to put things straight...we need to point out the differences between T1s and T2s' agrees Dr. Hope Ees Nawt Gawn.

'Yeah, ok' agrees a reluctant Han.

Oprah comes in and joins them.

'Good morning everyone. Today is a very special show...'

'Oh, please, please, please...let it be a trip to FFL...' thinks Han...

'My guests today are Dr. Hope Ees Nawt Gawn and Uncle Hans Langer...may I call you Uncle?' laughs Oprah.

'Ok, then, you're here today to let America and the millions of my fans all over the world and the whole Milky-Way, including Liechtenstein, about the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes...please, enlighten us.' says Oprah.

'Well, thank you Oprah for this opportunity...ahem...Type 1 diabetes is different from Type 2 because....' starts Dr. Hope, before being interrupted by Oprah.

'Differences are what makes everyone and everything special...I'm so glad we're doing a show on differences...I hope some of you will have an 'ah,ah' moment, like I have sometimes...and your lives will be richer for that...' says Oprah addressing her audience, 'Do continue Dr. Hope'

'Well, as I was saying, first and foremost...'

Oprah interrupts again:
'That's right...one always needs priorities in life' (audience applauds), 'in one of my upcoming Oprah's Bookclub we will read a life-altering book which will make you question your own priorites...Dr. Hope, continue please, this is all very interesting.'

'Well...' says Dr. Hope, glancing at Uncle Hans, who's starting to fume in his seat, 'Type 1 diabetes is an auto-immune disease...'

'That's right...auto....surprise...you're all getting your very own caaaaar!' says Oprah.

Audience goes wild. Han Ee Moon cannot help herself...she's jumping up and down, waving her arms wildly...'This is so great...I'm so glad I came with Dr. Hope and Uncle Hans...'



N.B.- I'm running out of ideas, you guys:o:D

***Commercial break***

A suave, masculine voice...

'I never leave home without my pump. I've even carry it in my camo pump pouch. But there was always something missing...until now! That's right...you can now get your own cell-phone with your pump...and if you order now, the folks at PimpUrPump will throw in a free pen, at no extra charge. Imagine, a pump, a cellphone and a free pen...how more exciting can it get??'

ROFLAO I had to laugh out loud at that!!:D:D:D

[Ryans-Rock]

HQ of C.A.R.B.S


While Kay Tawns still hides in the shadows, she's hoping for a break to come soon. She knows that if she can get this group to eat the snacks she's tampered with in the break room that DJka will think more highly of her capabilities.

[toohughey]

Unwittingly, DJ BettaCell is showering without his protective suit (“Did I lock the door?”) He feels grimy and used up and the suit was itchy.

Promy comes in closer with the Syringe full of SET not unlike a familiar scene from Psycho.

DJ hears something and peeks out the shower curtain just in time to see Promy raising her arm to strike.

Just as her arm is about to come down Een and Pan tackle her to the grimy tiled floor. The syringe falls in the shower with DJ and breaks. The SET flows inertly down the drain as DJ scream and prances like a girl that has seen a spider.

Pan holds the squirming Promy down as Een ties her hands with dental floss.

“Am I ever glad to see you guys. It has been very lonely around here.” DJ shrieks.

Pan tells DJ that he is safe now and they will take him back to Ranch Torso and the G.L.U.C.A.G.O.N. team will protect you.

They take Promy with them, but keep her at arms length.

[StillMamamia]

Back at the HQ of C.A.R.B.S….

The meeting nears it end. Everyone is very excited about the R.A.T.S. news and concerned as well for DJ Beta Cell. They’ve gotten an sms from Pan reassuring them that DJ is alive and well. But they still need to get them to a safe place. The tricky part will be taking the tube (subway). Een insisted on going by tube, since it’s faster, plus he has always been fascinated by anything tubular :D. But the tube is the Dull N.E.E.D.L.E. Gang’s preferred method for assaulting someone….

Kay Tawns waits anxiously…she convinced the receptionist, Dee Eedeeyot, that she was delivering the snacks for the meeting. Dee brought the snacks and coffee to the meeting and placed them at the end of the table.

Aunt Apidra is the first to go check out the snacks. She’s always first, very quick…much to the others' annoyance.

- Whoa, this is new…Smarties??? We never get them here! Did we change our snack-provider? Asks CalKing
- Oh, that reminds me of a funny story about a hospital and the Smarties police..wanna hear it?, asks Sore LancetLot
- No! the other chorus. They’ve heard that story a thousand times…although it’s still one of the funniest ones.
- Ooh, ooh….Gatorade!!! Love it!!! Exclaims Miss D. Meter
- What a strange combination of snacks!!! Thinks Lee Ver
- You guys, I need to go check on Basaline, says Anita Bolus, excusing herself.

Anita starts to leave the room, but forgets her pouch, err…her purse…and goes back to get it. It is then, that she notices the smell….Anita follows the fruity smell and heads towards where Kay Tawns is hiding.

‘I know that perfume, I know it!!! Only one person wears it!’ thinks a very worried Anita.

‘Darn it…she’s going to spot me!’ thinks Kay.

‘Anita….line 1 for you…Basaline got in trouble for messing up with Dia and Bob, calling them square-faces and giving them the dual-fingers…you better go check., says Aunt Apidra.

‘Oh, ok, thanks…’, replies Anita, reluctantly turning her back from Kay’s hiding spot.

‘Whew…that was close!’, thinks Kay

[StillMamamia]

Een, Pan and Dj Beta Cell are waiting for the next tube to arrive. Over the loudspeaker, and announcement comes on about a possible delay:
'Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize for any delays. We are experiencing technical difficulties with our tube. Someone has kinked one of the railways, and the travelling on the tube cannot be assured. Thank you for your understanding.'

'Great!' says a very upset DJ Beta Cell, 'First PanArtificial, now this...'
'Relax DJ,' says Een, 'we can go back up and try to catch a cab.'

All three head back up. As soon as they start going up the escalators, they see members of the Dull N.E.E.D.L.E. gang coming down on the other one.
The tension in the air is thick. Both parties eye each other, with a mixture of fear and hate.

One of the gang members, Mean Spirit, manages to jump over the section separating the two escalators, and attacks DJ Beta Cell. DJ falls down onto Pan's arms. Een takes a swing at Mean, and hits him full force in the stomach. Mean falls down the escalators.

Pan picks Dj Beta Cell up and walks fast up the escalators, Een following behind.

'Dj, stay with us...don't give up...we're going to find a way to save you..' says Pan.
'I...can't...take...it...any...more...I can't...breathe...' gasps DJ Beta Cell.
'Hey buddy, don't give up, it's going to be ok.' reassures Pan.

They are back onto the street. They hail a cab, and ask to go as fast as possible to C.A.R.B.S. Headquarters. They know Dj will be safe there, and the staff medical team is highly skilled.

The cab-driver speeds up the street, and glances on the rear-view mirror over at his 3 clients...'They just have no idea who I am...', thinks a disguised DJKA....he turns up the radio-station to 'WDKA133.7 3/4'.

To be continued....

[toohughey]

Meanwhile back at HQ of C.A.R.B.S….

Anita arrives at the daycare room to find Basaline in the corner sitting on a flat bench. The Daycare provider, Mrs. Poker was red faced and embarrassed. She has never had such a hard time with a child.

Anita tells her that she is sorry for Basaline’s behavior and that she will deal with it at home. She does not like to be separated from her mom at all and gets out of sorts.

Mrs. Poker’s assistant Miss Arpokerel mentions that Anita should be ashamed of herself for making her daughter so dependent on her. Basiline will get a bad reputation and there will be nothing you can do about it!!!

Anita is considering some scathing remarks full ** **fensive words, but her cell phone rings and it is Aunt Apidra, talking fast. She says there is something wrong with DJ, Pan and Een….

To be continued…….

[StillMamamia]

DJKA (disguised as the cab-driver) purposely takes the longest way back to the HQ of C.A.R.B.S. He drives Pan, Een and DJ Beta Cell through the seediest streets around Cyringe City. Suddenly he makes a stop in front of a bar.

"Excuse us, why are you stopping here? This is not C.A.R.B.S.!" exclaims Pan
"Yeah, sorry dude, but I've gotta go use the bathroom...it's urgent." says DJKA and runs to the bar.

Pan and Een look at one another uneasily. Something is wrong. They sense they have been trapped. They glance at DJ Beta Cell, breathing heavily and they know they must find someone somewhere to help him. They plead with him to hang on.

DJKA steps out of the bar, and is being followed by Kay Tawns...

"Noooo...." chorus Pan and Een.
They step out of the cab, holding onto DJ Beta Cell, and run down the street.

DJKA and Kay Tawns run after them. They must destroy DJ Beta Cell. They are both holding their S.E.T. guns, ready to fire...

Pan and Een arrive at a crossroads, when suddenly a car stops in front of them, tires screeching.

"Quick, step inside..." Pan and Een recognize the deep-voice ensuing from inside the car. They step inside it.

"Uncle Hans...how did you find us?" asks Een.
"I have informants in Cyringe City." replies Uncle Hans.
"DJ Beta Cell...we are loosing him...he is the last of his kind, Uncle Hans, we must do everything to save him." mutters Pan, with tears running down his cheek.
" We will save him Pan! I am certain of that. Dr. Hope is not giving up.!" says Uncle Hans.

Pan and Een look at DJ Beta Cell...Hope is their only choice...

Scene cuts to the rolling green hills of Big Farm. What looks like a beautiful mansion is the facade to a secret lab where scientists are working hard to clone DJ BetaCell.

Led by the mastermind Dr. John Johnson, the scientist know that if they they can clone DJ BetaCell, the city and all residents will be under their control forever.

"We're so close." says Dr. Johnson, "soon we will be able to release our clone and take over the city. They won't be able to tell the difference between DJ BetaCell and our clone Artie Fiscial."

"Dr. Johnson, you've done it!" says an attractive woman in a power suit. "Artie looks like a perfect replica of JD. Only his closest friends might suspect the truth."

"That's right, Anna. That's where you come in." says Dr. Johnson. "Your job is to distract JD's friends so we can slip Artie in and make the switch."

[sisterbeth43]

I didn't come in here much till last fall and just now read this entire thread. I have been laughing my a$$ off. You gals are brilliiant.

[frizzyrazzy]

I am just rereading, and the Promiscuous T-Cells (http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/57/8/2099.abstract) have me LMAO.

[joy orz]

Scene Mass General Hospital ICU unit. DJ is in a coma. Een is waiting anxiously in lobby for any news.

A beautiful woman in a shiny pink outfit approaches Een.

"Een. I came as soon as I heard. I'm so sorry to hear about DJ's critical condition. Look, sitting here in this hospital won't do anyone any good. Let me take your mind off things for a while. There's a great new cover band playing at Club Novo. They're called the Pings. They do a great version of 'Good Vibrations.' Why don't you and I go listen to the music and then you can come back and check in on DJ."
"Well. Said Een, "I could use a break. It would be nice to just not think about JD I mean, DJ for a few hours at least."
Later at Club Novo, the soothing music of the Pings had everyone in a better mood.

"Anna," said Een, "I know we've only known each other for a short while, but I think I'm falling for you."
"I feel exactly the same way Een. It's like we were made for each other. Before I met you, I felt all empty inside."
"Look," said Een, "this may be a bit forward, but after the day I had, I just don't want to be alone tonight."
"My apartment is just upstairs." said Anna. "You"re looking a little pale. Why don't you come up for a snack."
As the couple make their way into Anna's apartment, the songs of the Pings play in the background.

Scene cuts to Een and Uncle Lan talking.
"Uncle, I've met someone. I've never felt this way before. She's great! She's smart, thinks quickly, and has an amazing glow about her. I think I'm in love."
"Love, Een. Well that's wonderful. Tell me more."
"Well, she's great at math, can do calculations like a whiz and she really gets me."
"Hmm, sounds perfect. What's her name?" ask Uncle.
"It's Anna. Anna Mas." Said Een.

"Anna Mas? Are you certain?" asked Uncle with a frown on his face. "Don't you know who her father is?"
"I don't care who her father is!" said Een.
"Her father is the mad scientist Dr. John Johnson. He's been trying to take over the Humana empire for years. He'll stop at nothing! I think you should stay far away from Anna."
"Well I don't care what you think Uncle. I love her and you can't keep us apart."
"Love can make people do crazy things sometimes. Just look at my relationship with Coco. Sometimes when she calls me, I just loose my head. All willpower goes right out the window. Especially when she wears that silky cream outfit." Said Uncle.
"Look, Uncle. I appreciate the advice, but Anna is the right girl for me."
"I'm just worried about her father. He's a mad scientist. What if she's got some 'flaw in her system' and has a breakdown? You should always be prepared."
"Uncle, I know you have my best interest at heart. Ever since my parents died in the swine flu outbreak, you've always been there for me. You and Doctor Hope are scientists too, and without my parents, I was raised in the lab! I don't know if Anna and I will be together ten years from now. But I know right now I need her. I'm going to ask her to marry me.'

Back to Anna's apartment, where Anna is having a heated argument with a mystery caller on the phone.
"Yes father, I know what you want me to do. You've made your plans perfectly clear. Look, Een will be here any moment. I've got to go."
Een enters the apartment, with a beautiful bouqette of red roses. The significance of the color is not lost on Anna.

"Anna, my darling! I think you and I make a great team."
"I know Een, I feel the same way. Every since you've come into my life, I just buzz when you're around. You complete me."
"Anna, will you marry me?"
"Oh Een, I do love you, but I'm just not sure I'm primed for a relationship. There is something you should know about me."
"Hush my darling. I already know about your father."
"There's more. My father has already promised my hand to Dex Comm. It's all part of his plan to take over Humana. The wedding has been planned for years. The date isn't set yet, but it's happening soon. Oh Een, I'm so sorry." The camera comes in for a close up, as a single tear slides down Anna's cheek.

"So" says Een with a look of anguish on his face, "Dex is a part of this plan too! I thought we were friends. He always said DJ was like a brother to him. I never thought he would do anything to harm him."
"No Een, you've got it all wrong. Dex isn't any happier about this plan than I am. He's in love with Anita. And you should see the way he's taken baby Basaline under his wing. She's really doing great with him in the picture. You know how busy Anita is. She comes in like a burst of energy, but the baby really needs someone there all the time and Dex has been able to provide the stability that she needs."
"So, where does this leave us?" asked Een.
"Well, you know I love you, but my father might get in the way of our happiness. I'm afraid if we get too close, he might use me to harm your family. He hates your uncle and Dr. Hope. Sometimes I feel like a pawn under his control."

"Oh Anna, this is too much to take in. I love you, but can I trust you? I just don't know."

[frizzyrazzy]

i?m just not sure i?m primed for a relationship.

roflmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StillMamamia]

Meanwhile Honey Moon has been acting erratically. Her favorite cousin DJ Beta is in a coma and her true love Een Su Lin has been flaunting his new relationship with Anna Mas to anyone who will listen.

It's too much for Honey to bear. (sorry, couldn't help myself. :p) She's been sleeping all day, and has been known to party at night with Lo. The others fear she may be slipping over to the dark side.

Lately her actions have done more harm than good. If this keeps up, she may be sent back to the Island.

It looks like this thread is breaking. It says there's a page 12 (this would be the first reply on that page), but there's not. If the thread really is breaking, maybe a new thread could be started and it could be "season 2.":)

But more on the subject of the thread, me and my friends read everything but the most recent posts yesterday and were cracking up over lots of the word play. If this soap opera existed on daytime TV, it'd be the only one I'd watch.:)

Just checking the link. I don't think it's broken.

[purplewowies]

Yeah, all the problems cleared up for me after I posted. But the link wasn't working before (because there wasn't supposed to be a page 12 yet). If/when the thread breaks, we can use the season 2 thread.

Do you suffer from tension headaches caused by banging your head against the wall or repeatedly smacking your own forehead?

Is your throat sore from constantly repeating the following: "No, type 1 is different from feline diabetes."

Then try Dolt BeGone. Our 100% organic tonic is made from the finest agave nectar, distilled to perfection. Simply add Dolt BeGone to one cup of frozen strawberries, blend and enjoy!

(fine print: While drinking Dolt BeGone does not remove Dolts from your life, if consumed according to typical dosing directions, you will no longer care.)

(Finer print. YDMV Your Dolt May Vary)

We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast to announce this breaking news...

Apparently there has been a writer's strike. Fans are hopeful that the strike will end soon.

And now back to our program.

Like cells through the pancreas, so are the diabetes of our lives.

Uncle Hans peers over Dr. Hope's shoulder.

- What are you doing?
- Taking things into my own hand, Hans.
- What do you mean?
- I am e-mailing all my contacts all over the world and calling for their urgent help. I need to tell you something Hans...a secret.
- What Hope?
- I am the head of a secret society, with members all over the world.
- Whaa????
- Yes Hans. We have a mission...and many before me have failed. But we have a mission. To achieve euglycemia.
- Euglycemia???? You know about euglycemia?
- Yes Hans. I, we, do. Here, this is the e-mail I am sending:

QUOTE

Euglycemia: the final frontier

This is the Supreme Hope of the Pancreatic Sea Offshore Enterprise. Our never-ending mission: to stop the autoimmune attack; to seek out new beta cells and new protection thereof; to boldly reach a cure to save DJ Beta Cell.

Our time is now. Immediate Action is required.

Hope

Hans' mouth is open in awe. He cannot believe that after all this time working with Dr. Hope, he had not know how important she was. He grabs her hand and kisses it tenderly.

- You are all I've got, Hope.
