    The Dumpleganger Twins!

    OMG, Shakespeare's monkey hit a key and accidently came up with a power
    concept.

    If we can get Renay in, we'd be the Dumpleganger Triplets. With Renay and
    cendare, the Dumpleganger Sisters. Add PJR and Rob and we'd be the
    Dumpleganger
    Brothers and Sisters. We've got tv gold here. I'm thinking A&E for the
    reality
    pitch. If they want to go drama, I'd say whatever channel does Nip/Tuck. I >> think
    Andy Serkis (Gollum in LOTR trilogy) for Chuck and Amy Winehouse would be
    perfect for Dreckery except we'd have to dub the singing. Dibs on Janeane
    Garofalo to play me. Steve Buscemi could do special guest as the ghost of
    Tom
    Bishop.

    Now we need a snappy name for our production company. BareIt's
    PrivateTears
    comes to mind.
