Now that the show is (allegedly ) over, I'm sure the cast is looking at their last paychecks and thinking "a million dollars a show...hmmm...I'm thinking SPIN-OFF!"
So what's your idea for a Big Bang spin off? Here are some starters:
The Cooper Family A shameless rip off of the Addams Family. Sheldon and Amy are crazy scientists performing wacky experiments much to the confusion of their neighbors.
Big Improvements The gang all move into the same cul-de-sac neighborhood where they use their scientific expertise to solve household problems. (Think laser guided weapons grade hedge trimmers.)
The Stuart Chronicles Stuart becomes a comic book creator. The beginning of the show has him at a work table. It fades into a comic book story with Sheldon, Leonard and the rest as less than competent comic book superheroes along the lines of The Tick.

Tim, if you ever had any doubt as to whether or not you were important to me, and whether or not I enjoyed posting with you, I think my middle of the night freak out post at your return should put all of those fears aside. I will admit your last few posts to me the other day didn't really sound like the usual you, but I have always adored you, and always will.

Now now, people I don't mean to leave off just yet. I will stick around if TBT is. Hey how about this for a spin off. From The Big Bang Theory to the TIm-Buktu Theory ? Pretty good huh?

So let's recap: You suggested that two old ladies get put into a cage match. I suggested you had a dark side. I then followed up with a very pleasant clip of Grandma Walton dancing with Jed Clampet. And now you claim that I don't sound like my usual self? I think you should invest in a mirror.
In the mean time, I think my crustaceans and I will take a journey with a satchel of brownies and see what's beyond the horizon.

Hi Tim. I was actually referring to you fussing at me for not answering with a Tales of Interest plot quickly enough when part of the reason it took so long was because I was putting a lot of effort into it to try to do a good job. The Grandma Walton stuff was just pure goofiness on my part. I'm sorry if it came across as dark. I really don't want our board friendship to end on a sour note. I have genuinely enjoyed our interactions and I thank you for all the time you spent posting with me.

Lemons sweetie sometimes you seem quite sensitive. I believe that Tim was just being crusty like a crustacean. As for the satchel of brownies I don't know. Perhaps you could bake him up a suitcase of lemon bars and all will be right between you. Let us all just mosey along here and click our combined red heels and say "There is no place like Pasadena, there is no place like Pasadena..." Or Alderaan, or Hogwarts or Oxnard by the onion fields...

All right Lemons, I've decided to forgive you...for now. (Even though the crayfish are against it. Even now they're sitting on their bindle sticks and munching brownies.)
But in the meantime, the topic is living in a hologram The topic isn't the topic it's just the name of the topic....
The problem with the idea is that if we are all living in a hologram we wouldn't know it. Just as fish don't really think about the fact that they live in water. Well carp do but they are overly opinionated.
Then I considered Star Trek. On Star Trek the Next Generation, they created a holodeck, a room where the crew could create a hologram, go in and interact with all of the characters. Very fun I'm sure until they created Professor Moriarity (from Sherlock Holmes). He was smart enough to realize that he was a hologram and tried to take over the ship.
On Star Trek Voyager, the idea of holograms was extended to create a hologram "emergency" doctor. This doctor eventually developed his own personality thereby creating the possibility that: did all of the characters they created on the holodeck have personalities? In "Fairhaven" they created an entire Irish village that was aware that the crew were different from the holograms.
Now to stray even further afield, in "Bride of Chaotica!" the crew discovers that there is an alternate dimension where every one actually are holograms.
Which means...that if we can create hologram people that have personalities, can I create an army that could take over the world, an army of CRAYFISH? Bwahahahaha.
I have to go now my brain hurts and I have to take my meds.

First of all, to both Tim and Z: I love you. And here is a picture encompassing many of the special things we've discussed over the years to prove it.

Sorry about Philip the cornfield reindeer, though. Always photobombing...
Now to Tim: You have given me many holographic scenarios about which to ponder. And you are right that the characters would most likely not know that they were living inside of a hologram. However, the viewers and writers would know. Really, the show could be set anywhere with characters who are not aware of the truth of their situation. For example, I could have called it "Life Inside the Pomegranate". However think of the burden on the set designers! Seeds everywhere! And the cast, always having to wade through a sea of seeds to walk across the stage, why each scene would take 3 hours! (That's how long it takes to wade through seeds.)
But Tim, please don't ever get in your train and sail away. I would be very sad. Plus the coal ash from your underwater steam train would pollute the fishes' nose hairs.

Hmmm...The characters in a hologram don't know that they're in a hologram and they could be in any time or place. And yet viewers could watch their behavior and be entertained. I don't know. That sounds pretty far fetched to me.

I think I'm finally starting to get it. You are trying to goad me into the biggest tickling in history.

So, I'm supposed to click on something just because it says "click"? What kind of Alice-in-Wonderland kind of person do you think I am? How do I know what's under that click? You might be the evil Lemons from the alternate universe._ Do you have a goatee?_ But I'll take a chance...
hmm
hmmmm
OK I give up. Who is the colonel?

Did you actually open it? You know I had to hold my mouth a certain way for several minutes to cut out those pictures!
And the only colonels in that picture are spelled kernel, and there are far too many of them to name although I did overhear one of them saying his name was Carlos.

Soy Carlos y tengo un gran respeto por su capacidad de cortar y pegar. Pero como un sabroso sándwich de jamón debo partir demasiado rápido. Adios
So who is the person on the kernel who is not a colonel?

I didn't say anything about Carlos being made out of soy. He's a corn product.
On the corn sits a Gorn. As I stated in my earlier post part of the picture was for Z, and part was for you. Z and I have joked over the years about corn and Gorns. The Tim part of the picture was the crawdad and the brownie. However, you can enjoy the Gorn, too. But if you expect me to know anything about Gorns, think again. Are Gorns colonels or something?
And poor Philip. You've not even acknowledged him.
