At the beginning of the year, SlapstickStuff posted that they had some big plans and ideas for this year. I, also being SlapstickStuff, will cut-n-paste them here, from this previous thread, as I'd forgotten what they were.
https://umd.net/forums/big-things-happening-for-slapstickstuff

1. New models you've never seen will appear in shoots, to overall enthusiasm and/or indifference, depending.
2. Returning models will return, to dampened enthusiasm and/or outright indifference, depending.
3. That model you really really REALLY want to return? She won't.
4. Behind-the-scenes, more than a few drop-dead gorgeous models will be contacted, express interest in shooting, then flake out somewhere along the road to actually getting messy. (Don't worry. None of this will affect you, just me.)
5. I'll probably use that substance and/or wardrobe choice that automatically triggers a "no sale" for you, so... Sorry.
6. Edited scenes will continue to get released! The five of you who keep holding out for dirt-cheap clips... You're welcome.
7. We might buy a new backdrop?
8. SS200 will happen! (God and Trump v. North Korea willing...) It won't be as exciting as you think.
9. We'll post a lot of stuff on UMD. (Did you know we have streaming now? We have STREAMING now!!)
10. Regis will post some snarky comments in response to said posts.

So SlapstickStuff, how do you feel you did? Did you meet all your new year's resolutions? What is coming up in 2019 that we can look forward to?

I am sincerely looking forward to the things you may or may not be doing next year

Thanks for asking, SlapstickStuff!

1. New models you've never seen will appear in shoots, to overall enthusiasm and/or indifference, depending.
9 new models (in order: Angie, Victoria, Shauna the MILP, Erica, Jess, Abby, Lucy, Candi, and Amanda) appeared in 2018, and were met with both incredible enthusiasm AND crushing indifference, depending! Sometimes even with different scenes from the same model!

2. Returning models will return, to dampened enthusiasm and/or outright indifference, depending.
This is also true. Special mention to the fact that we had 65% less Breana this year (only 4 scenes total) to avoid the inevitable Breana Burnout (TM).

3. That model you really really REALLY want to return? She won't.
Well, I TOLD you she wouldn't. I really tried too. Sorry.

4. Behind-the-scenes, more than a few drop-dead gorgeous models will be contacted, express interest in shooting, then flake out somewhere along the road to actually getting messy. (Don't worry. None of this will affect you, just me.)
You'll just have to trust me this happened.

5. I'll probably use that substance and/or wardrobe choice that automatically triggers a "no sale" for you, so... Sorry.
Yes, yes, 1000 times yes!! Extra special thanks to those who PM me to tell me exactly which particular substance they don't want me to keep using!

6. Edited scenes will continue to get released! The five of you who keep holding out for dirt-cheap clips... You're welcome.
Every single volume we released in 2018 got edited! (Even the one with me getting pied that no one cares about.) Some of those edits are still coming. Thanks, five guys! (Also, thanks Five Guys. Your burgers are excellent.)

7. We might buy a new backdrop?
We did. It was a brighter green. I didn't like what it did to the colors, so it was one-and-done after Victoria's debut. (See below.) Sorry, fans of bright green. (We also bought a red one to go with our other red one. It's good. I know you can't tell the difference.)

8. SS200 will happen! (God and Trump v. North Korea willing...) It won't be as exciting as you think.
Haha, remember feuding with North Korea?? That was like 755 Trump things ago!
ANYWAY.... SS200 came out! And was.... a lot of compilation clips. And also this OK trailer:

So yeah, right on the money there.

9. We'll post a lot of stuff on UMD. (Did you know we have streaming now? We have STREAMING now!!)
715 clips and counting. That's an increase of approximately 715 clips! (In case you're wondering what I do all day.)

10. Regis will post some snarky comments in response to said posts.
The greatest loss of 2018. Never forget.

And for 2019? I'm predicting MORE new models, the SAME amount of returning models, a slight increase in enthusiasm and/or crushing indifference, 10% more Breana (give-or-take a swing of 20%), and 98% less Regis. (Because no way he stays gone a full year.)

Hope everyone has a safe New Year's Eve and a great 2019!

Should we discuss Anglefan's 2008 next?

As for returnees, 2019 needs some more
1) Bre (duh)
2) Taylor (i'm aware there a few scenes in the can to be released, but the more the merrier)
3) Abby (again about 3 scenes to be released, i don't think i could handle it if you said she won't return)
4) Erica (don't think she's coming back, but she was a solid one-timer)
5) Victoria (paired up with someone? I think I really mostly just loved her wardrobe malfunctioning shirt, so I'm a little on the fence with her)
6) Yezzica (with Bre, I think there is an outdoor in the can, and I think you've said she doesn't sell well, but I think we could push the limits with these two and get even more sexy and creative)

I think your 2018 MVP was Abby and she has a chance to be a star, she's a girl next door, "seemed" to enjoy getting messy and get WAM, and not afraid of a little boob showing

Wouldn't mind more 2 girl scenes, even like the Carrie one's where one gets all the mess, than you may not have to pay the 2nd girl as much. Love seeing reactions of the girls in 2 girl scenes.

Since I love the Walk the Plank vids, you should try to replicate it for some hot college girls in your area. Wouldn't really be a "shoot", just 4 ladies or so looking to have a good time for a hundred bucks or so....

Haha, we're actually getting serious now!
1) Bre... plenty of scenes to release, might put them out more frequently depending on reaction.
2) Taylor... definitely some scenes in the can coming! (4? 5?) And she wants to shoot more.
3) Yeah.... Abby.... um....
4) Yeah.... Erica.... um....
5) I'm planning a pair up for Victoria, but beyond that.... ?
6) The 4th of July scene with Yezzica is STILL the most I've ever spent on one scene (2-girl or otherwise) so I don't think I can afford what it would take to "push the limits" beyond that. It would be different if buying customers were all-in....


So there's.... 3 scenes coming!! Good?


Yeah, you'd think you could pay the second girl less if she stays clean, right? Ah, millennials.


Ah, I miss the days when I could pay models $100! (It's been a decade or so....) You might wanna ask Rogerio about his budget. I feel like even in a country whose economy is in the toilet, those WTP clips are NOT cheap to make......

Really enjoyed your stuff this year Rich. Keep up the great work, you're an inspiration!

Number 10. #Neverforget. I hope he is doing good. I bet you if a model would be kind enough to take one for the team so to say and offer to have a professional messy session with Regis if he came back, he would be here shortly. Pretty sure he is lurking waiting to come back.

Yeeeeeey!

You snarky, loveable, son of a bitch. The one producer we love to hate. Thank you for all your hard work this year. I know we all look forward to what 2019 has in store for us from you. Cheers you bastard.

Here's the model I really want to return!

Eryn from SS128, who only returned in SS144!!!
https://www.slapstickstuff.com/SSEKE.htm
https://www.slapstickstuff.com/SS144.htm

She's a natural!!! And I don't think she is a model (doesn't have the model vibe)

Not much I can add. So I'll make it short and to the point. Thanks Rich for all those beautiful models getting messed up to the max. Love your take on pies and slime (and water when applicable.)

She decided to have a kid instead. The nerve!!!

Selfish!

#11: I will spend more than I should on SS videos, often not waiting for the cheaper edits.


Here's a vote for a new Bre video hopefully with a dress. But more Taylor is always good. I am in love with Taylor.

Here's to more wardrobe malfunctions and boobies in 2019!

Nothing personal, I love the quality of your work, you have some seriously hot models in your portfolio and I have bought your scenes before, BUT, I am a nudity only WAM kind of guy so the only clips of yours I have (apart from one Breanna clip) are the ones with slips or outright naked boobs. I love you Kylie!

Oh and I'm sorry but I still haven't gotten around to buying the last Kylie clip, but I definitely will. Oh, and happy new year.

NO!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear, I don't know how you deal with it...I see your forum posts and I don't post on them a lot bc im afraid ill say something like "HEYYYYY GET A CUSTOM" bc I have never seen anyone get more of the "well, I WOULD have bought this if you would have colored her hair brown, if her eyes were green, if her toenails were purple, if she was wearing a dinosaur costume"

everytime I see it, I have to keep scrolling and tell myself "this is a happy place, jace, a happy place..." lol....I go to MY happy place where chubs has both his hands.....

anyway, I have a producer crush and this post just makes it even more crushing i love someone who can laugh at themselves....and be brutally honest. Being a girl on here, we can be as honest as we CAN but we have to hold back sometimes too...I let the guys like you bring out the honesty. so, this am I am laughing bc some dude in a band called "anal cunt" died in an escalator accident, death is sad, but I feel like some life choices could have probably been avoided.....and I don't know...it was just funny bc of the band name and this post. thanks. I have been in bed with strep and they gave me some syzurp that makes everything taste like purple....so, this made my day rock on this year. and take some fucking customs...bc if I hear one more person say some shit to you, im gonna lose it.

Thanks Jayce! Love ya!
And very glad that "write in paragraphs" wasn't one of your New Year's resolutions!! (Robby made me say that...)

fucking robby. I need to message him back.....


and the sign?? brilliant.

Pregnant pies??

In all seriousness, though, a Jayce/Rich collab is something I'd pay to see. I might even be willing to cough up the airfare/hotel to make it happen.

you put us two fools together and you never know WHAT will happen. the umd will explode with posts of absolute brilliant nonsense.

That idea has some legs. A Jayce versus Rich pie fight perhaps?

Do it at Robby's house and make him clean up!

Plus, he's only got one year left to produce something this decade!

Rich, I am going to be sending more of my disposable income soon!

Even more if you do a collab with Jayce!

(just stares at Rich and Jayce)

Is purple a flavor, Jayce??
