TV Strike? Let’s get hammered!

hammer-300.jpgBlog Guy, I’m very depressed about this TV writer strike. No new “Friday Night Lights,” no “30 Rock,” nothing to live for…

Get a grip.

Why don’t you do what they do in other countries where they don’t have a lot of their own stuff on television? They either a) watch our old “Starsky & Hutch” reruns, or b) hold big bricks and let other folks pulverize them with a sledgehammer.

That’s cool! I’m in! But I wouldn’t know which one to be - the guy with the bricks, or the one with the hammer…

Oh yeah? No preference? Any chance you’re going to be in my town this weekend? Meanwhile, check out this photo from China, and here are some other examples from this blog, so you can see how it works:

How do they do that?

My bad. You writers can’t write back and tell me, now can you?

Wait. Here’s a great opportunity. Let’s trash the TV Writer’s Guild.

Hey, TV Writer’s guild! What’s black and white and red all over?

NOT YOUR COPY! Hahahahahah.

Hey, TV Writer’s Guild. At least you don’t have to wait for a %@!@$#%&’nother Continuing Resolution to know whether you’re going to get a paycheck next month!

I came from Kosovo, where there’s 50% unemployment and there’s ALWAYS half the country waiting for you to screw up even once on your job so they can step in and do it better than you. What’s wrong with this picture?

Quite to the contrary of the dire harm you might imagine resulting from such a powerful sledge stroke, Hao Fat was happily cured of his chronic constipation.

“When I got back up, I wasn’t backed up!” Hao claimed as he was scent back to the monastery.

On the bright side: We don’t have to watch Tina Fey try to act for a while.

We still see her in the role of ‘willing’ executive producer/writer picketer; perhaps foreshadowing presidential candidatorial aspirations. Fey/Clinton or Obama/Fey 2012! Is not even our evening News inviolable? Fie, Fey. Fie. (sigh)

Starsky pretty much carried Hutch. On the other hand, Hutch pretty much carried Starsky. Somehow it worked anyway. Cool show. “Esta Ramon aqui?” Classico!

Lack of milk and cookies woke me up. Posting to a blog at 05:00. It just ain’t right. Gotta aclimate to Eastern time.

Anyhoo, if these two guys tried to 30 rock, they’d
1) Crush the guy on the bottom,
2) End up doing 60 rock and 43264 pebbles,
3) Make Fort Leavenworth alumni jealous, and
4) Probably Feyl.
