The Pole Family
Kathy and I had this idea last night.
It would be either a drama, sit-com, children's book, or skit about a family: a firefighter married to a stripper, with two kids. In their two-story house they'd have several poles: one for getting from the 2nd floor to the first, one to dance around and one for tetherball. They'd have a pet polecat. There would be lots of Jackson Pollacks on the wall. They would be of Polish origin. At some point, the firefighter would get politician ambitions. She'd do some polling, run, and win! Dad would enter a pole climbing competition and win! Junior would enter a pole vaulting competition and win! The other Junior would win a big pole position competition! Then the whole family would take a trip to the North Pole and visit their relatives in North Pole.

This is brilliant! I also think that at least one of the family members needs to be bi-polar. That would add some good drama. More hilarity could ensue when the husband decides he wants to practice polygamy.
And their favorite PBS Masterpiece Theater series could be "Poldark" (I know this reference is ridiculously obscure so check out the fan site for this show www.poldark.com).

Make sure they have an encounter with a polar bear at the North Pole.
Polish sausage. . .
Roman Polanski. . .
Polaris (in the constellation Ursa Minor). . .
Don't forget about the Politburo--hello.
Who is their favorite president? Polk.
