OH MAA GAA NANO COOKBOOK

A lot of those are hard to do in a purely auditory medium like a radio script; however, taking:

Include the line "the cheese stands alone."

In the middle of a song, have someone stop everyone and say "you need to raise your eyebrows up like 'Holy crap, I'm gonna sing in-tune today!'"

DARE: Have a character who only speaks in haiku.

A lot of those are hard to do in a purely auditory medium like a radio script

I know, I'm sorry. :( I keep forgetting Screnzy! is now also for scripts for graphic novels, radio programs, et cetera.

I'm most definitely taking the "do you know where your pants are?" dare. :)

I'm taking:

DARE: Instead of saying osteoporosis, have a character say "osteocrap."

And I'll leave:

DARE: Have a male character who, half way through, insists he will only answer to Kathy.
Double Points - if the character continues to speak in a really deep voice.
Triple points - if the character still dresses as a male OR if the characters he interacts with mention something about his hair/clothes being too masculine for a Kathy.

DARE: have a character pick up a random object, shout "fishy fishy!" then hit something with said object.

Excellent inspiration here!

Double Bonus Points if neither character is a child.

and

Dare: Have a character randomly take off his/her pants.
Bonus Points if they are completely relaxed about it.

I think I might be using these, if not for the the scripts I write in April, then for future ones in the same series:

Dare: Have your characters complain about how nothing exciting ever happens while a person is getting kidnapped in the background.
Bonus Points if they know the person.

I already have a kidnapping episode planned out, even. :) Though I might do it with a cut-to rather than having the characters be in the same place.

Dare: Have a character randomly take off his/her pants.
Bonus Points if they are completely relaxed about it.
Double Bonus Points if everyone else is also relaxed about it.

I can totally see several of my characters doing this, really, it might have happened even without the dare. XD

None of my own to add right now, but I'll try to contribute something later.

Oh, I am going to try to fit in:

Oh, and I'll squeeze a Chinese Fire Drill in somewhere :D

- B.P. this character has a really common name, like Bob or Jo.

This thread has given me many ideas for my characters! Thanks to all who've commented with their dares so far.
Let's see, I'm taking:

Dare: Have a character that will spontaneously break out in song (only is character is NOT already in a musical)
- Bonus points if the songs all relate to something that another character has just said

--Double bonus points if she isn't, she's just there to take up space.
Taking note of that one, too!

Include the line "It's 7 P.M., do you know where your pants are?"
That's how my script actually begins, except it's almost noon. And in addition to his pants, nobody seems to know where the rest of his clothes are. Also: this turns out to be a key point for the plot, but later on. And a serious key point.

Leaving:
Dares:

But has the knack to utter the right thing in just the right moment. Such as a key plot point the characters were overlooking, or a hint to a mystery.

- Include a flashback within a flashback. If you prefer to make it even harder (and maybe more confusing), let it be a flashback in a flashback in a flashback in a... And we haven't even cut to the following scene yet.

DARE: Set one scene in a room where absolutely everything inside, including walls, ceiling, and furnishings, is the same color.
