Stuck for a plot?

One of the very, very best things about the Script Frenzy web site is the Plot Machine. It's in the upper right corner, and when you load the page, or click on the "Go" button on the machine itself, it comes up with a three-clause plot for you. Here are some examples:

• Nervous about vacationing with the in-laws — a duck with a death-wish — is visited by the ghosts of the Wright Brothers


• In a world where no dreams are sweet — a team of animators — skydives without a parachute


• After consuming a powerful laxative — Orville Redenbacher — discovers a shocking use for spray cheese


• In a world where marriage is illegal — a nuclear physicist with a broken heart — must smuggle druids across the border


• On the planet Zorbot — a unicycling banker — plans a campout in a haunted bayou

It's difficult to tear oneself away — all the fun of a slot machine, without risking a nickel, and you might get a suitably bizarre plot idea out of it. Or at least get your own ideas jolted loose so you can pick them up and look at them.

(The scary thing is that I personally know writers who come up with these sorts of plots all on their own. I'm looking at you, Jasoni.)
