Legalized Drug Addicts

and their fight against the Big Medical Pusher Man

You could make it a homage to Superfly one of the original blackspoiltation/docudrama cult classics. I just love the soundtrack and would love to see some Curtis Mayfield make it back to the screen.

Or you could even get some 70's graphics and call it:

SugarFly

Hmmmmmm....... How about....

"The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes; or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Needle".

... oh wait... that second part may have already been used. So I should just shorten it up to:

"The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes"

Both Added:

10. The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes
11. The Sweet Life: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Needle.


That is allowed. I know it's from Dr. Stranglove: How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. This is not Plaguerism(sp?) and would be okay for a title.

Feel free veryone to use variations if wanted. (I.E. - "The Sweet Life" or "Big Sugar") This might become a long list.... What have I started...LoL

Have an idea...

Hi Doetsch,

Hope I'm not too late to the party.... (have been busy with college...). I have an idea for the name of your documentarty:

"Discovering Diabetes"

I figured this might be a good name, because people who may be unaware about the different aspects of Diabetes would be discovering them as the documentary unfolds.....Just a thought.

Exclamation Voting as of 03/15/2006

Here are the currentl results so everyone knows where we stand:

1. Type: Unknown - 1 (TvBabe)

2. Diabetes: In the Life of - 1.5 (Penny, Buzzborne)

3. Inject This! - 3 (camjen1, Cyborg, Psilocybin)

4. Highs and Lows: The Rollercoaster of Diabetes - 3.88 (Lynne1, Sydneya, Buzzborne, Gettingby)

5. Don't Let BIG SUGAR Stick it to you - .20 (Archimeech)

6. Everybody has a Killer in their Family...Diabetes... - .20 (Archimeech)

7. But you take Insulin, Aren't you already Cured? - .20 (Archimeech)

8. Legalized Drug Addicts (SlugLine: And their fight against the big medical
Pusher Man.)
- .20 (Archimeech)

9. SugarFly - .20 (Archimeech)

10. The Sweet Life: Surviving and Thriving with Diabetes - .88 (Koblenz, Gettingby)

11. The Sweet Life: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Needle. - .50 (Koblenz)

12. Discovering Diabetes - 2.33 (Dewey, Tony, Gettingby)

We have Lynne1's Suggestion winning with 3.88. Inject this! & Discovering Diabetes are coming fast behind! Keep up the voting everyone.

I have noticed that a few of you have been "STUCK" or have suggested multiple names. I corrected this with splitting the votes. (I.E. - Gettingby liked #4, #10 & #12. I split Gettingby's 1 vote by 3 which equals .33 / So .33 was added to each.)

Your not a PITA gettingby. I just used you as an example cause you had 3 on your mind. I think it's better this way, because if someone likes more than one they don't have to be stuck with one choice
