Big Daddy, born in the Tiki Room

I was reading an article about Steve Franks the creator of the USA how Psych (CP and I watched a few episodes...it's got a lot of cleverness to it, but hasn't kept our attention). Turns out he was a CM for 8 years starting in 1988. His first big break was the screenplay for the Adam Sandler movie Bid Daddy (which he originally titled Guy Gets Kid with the main character being a theme park employee). Apparantly, he did most of the writing of that while working the Tiki Room. He'd wake Jose up...then sit in the corner writing for 20 minutes at a time. I love it (the creative use of time...not the movie, which I haven't seen).
