Hey, so I had an idea for our next commercial: We open on a hot tub with David Hasselhoff in it, then we zoom out to see that he’s in there with some of his old Baywatch co-stars (Anderson, Electra, etc.) They’re all going TO WORK on some bacon burgers. Real sloppy. Real sloppy. BBQ sauce clogging the filter and everything.

Re: This Baywatch idea. One of the girls could go to town on the burger — just attacking it with carnal passion — and choke on some bacon. The others could CPR it out of her. Just spitballing.

Just had a few drinks at dinner and remembered some more Baywatch girls. Traci Bingham, Yasmine Bleeth, Donna D’Errico. Who was the one with the short hair? No implants. It’ll come to me. Anyway, let’s get them all on camera with some sexy hunks of meat…

… and maybe some actors too lol
