hey ladies and gents, I need your help.

I cannot think for a title for a small series i'm going to write up. The series is basically about a group of friends who are illegal traders. I'm making it into a comedy, and I need a title.

Thanks for the input,

Kiester.

Illegal trading as in "Only Fools and Horses"? Or finances, stocks? Or furs, animals, people? Street Value, Vogue Traders, Exchange Rats -- we could guess all day but it's hard to pin down a title with only minimal info.

What's a "small series"?

Help!

Or,

Bubba And The Chimp.

(which, I swear, I swear, is what I name my treatments/scripts when I don't have a title. 'Untitled' is just so... untitled.)

I'm going to give what I like to call "Anti-Advice". Pretty much going to give you advice opposite what you're asking for. It's what a lot of people have told me and it's worked for me thus far. Don't focus so much on a name before you've even written the script. As you're writing I'm sure it'll come to you naturally and won't feel forced at all. Of course, if you absolutely need a title for a deal or something like that, completely disregard this post!

I want you to consider this one very seriously, okay?

Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Because it's like a mandala hidden inside an onion skin hidden in a coal mine, so I want you to be ready.

Okay, take a breath. Okay ... okay ....

When you and the Weinsteins are hanging out around the pool, and Scarlett Johanson is swimming underwater in the pool silvery and raw like mother of pearl and oysterflesh in the moonlight ...

Mention me, okay? ;)

You did not just say that.

Okay, fine, you can have my "But I don't wanna be banned" by-line.

You win.

Oh. no. please ... perhaps you have misunderstood my meanings!

See, it's a "bull" market. And they're "milking" that. But also, it has the subtext of, y'know ... you cannot get milk out of a bull, so they're SCAM artist stock traders, see?

And yet ... they lead a life of danger, because what could be more dangerous than messing with a bull's ... y'know ... man-boobs? Man-teats?

So, it's a title of danger, and mystery, and fraud ...

It's an important title, a timely title ... almost a (if I must say so myself) ... a seminal title!

"Milking The Bull" :) Yeah.
