While sitting around watching The Superstation the other day (you know, TBS -- duh), I fell asleep during King of Queens and woke up with the best idea for a spec script episode I’m going to write.
So, check it -- Carrie and some friends from work get into a weekly quizzo night at this bar, so she starts coming home really late every Wednesday. Doug starts getting lonely those nights, but he won’t admit it, so he starts being passive-aggressive toward her, making snide comments and shit. They eventually get in a big fight -- Carrie calls him selfish, and Doug brings up something bad she did before, but THIS TIME it gets out of control and she kicks him out.
So, Doug goes out drinking after the fight, and who does he run into but Stephen Malkmus. He and his Jicks are playing a show in Queens the next day, trying to take in some local flavor. Doug of course is starstruck, being a huge Pavement fan, and he can’t even form words at first. Anyway, long story short -- Steve takes a liking to Doug after he starts calling him “Milkmoose” because he’s too drunk to pronounce Malkmus and invites him to be a roadie on the following tourdates:
Blitzen Trapper will be along for the ride, too.
