Fred Spanish pitches Next Great Idea to Invention Magazine




Online Pitch

Hey, gimmie a high five. Oh wait; there is no one else around.
How many times have you been in that situation?



Good afternoon my name is Fred Spanish and I am the inventor of the Dude Five, the worlds only self high five machine. This machine is capable of 32 hfpm (high five per minute) and comes with seven ethnic varieties of hands as well as a Sasquatch hand. You truly have a high five for any situation.

Who hasn’t been watching a game by themselves and came across your team with the winning touchdown dunk. You want to high five someone right? This allows you to get that high fiving satisfaction twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The story of Dude Five really is a rag to riches story. Growing up in middle class neighborhoods of Madrid, to today the upper middle class neighborhood of Tigard, Oregon.

The story of Dude Five will make a perfect story for your magazine. If you accept my story I will also provide your office with one Dude Five machine, at ten percent of retail price, which includes a three pack of portable hands and one bonus yoda hand.

****** Imagine the best chef ever


I would like to submit my story idea of a recipe for a Spanish omelet. I am sure by now you have noticed that my name is Fred Spanish and yes, my great grandfather Emil Spanish invented the Spanish omelet back in Madrid on a blustery fall day in 1953. Our family has passed this down from generation to generation. I just received the recipe for Yom Kippur and I am ready to share it with the world. I only have part of the recipe due to a royalty dispute with my Uncle. Thank you and I look forward to writing for you soon.

Fred Spanish’s Spanish omelet

1 small, ______sliced1 small onion, __ eggsOne pinch of baking _____

I would like to submit my query regarding a movie script that I just finished. Attached is a confidentiality statement please sign before reading.


This is just a taste.



Hank (Played by Judge Reinhold) wakes up one day and realizes his life is going nowhere. His wife left him and his two kids Mark (Played by the Red Head Kid from Problem Child) and Sarah (Played by Laurie Petty, Tank Girl) with a pile bills and a driveway to share with his wacky gay neighbors.

Hank works at a top invention firm and he needs his entrance in this years National Invention Contest to win the prize money to keep the creditors at bay. Problem is Frank White (Preferably played by Chad Lowe) is entering and he has always been a thorn in Hank’s side.

One day Hank and his kids are eating at a national seafood chain, where in his fish basket he finds a key and a map. It leads him to a wacky scientist who gives him the recipe to cure hiccups. Hank wins and his house and family are saved. He also finds a love interest. Preferably with large breasts.


Here are some possible titles.
If hiccups are lucky I must be lucky also
The magic hiccup cure
Fish basket of discovery
Fishy Keys

I am shopping this script pretty hard. I sent it to your company because I heard some good things. I assume a biding war could be in the future. I like your company and I am leaning towards you guys.
