If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Sounds like picketing will be good for the body as well as the integrity, Kristen. Just remember to hydrate. Or at least coffeerate.

Picketing as a weight loss program

I picketed last week and lost bupkiss. Just got chills from the wind and rain. Sigh. Maybe it's because mine was just an informational picket, not an actual strike.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

maybe you need a heavier sign.

A discussion I saw in an Israeli site mentioned the "Moonlighting" episode of "The Taming of the Shrew" as a way that this show found to deal with the strike of '88.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It wasn't "The Taming of the Shrew" episode, it was a different one. The show came up ten minutes short, so they tacked a musical number onto the end of it:

Trust my rage

I loved the Taming of the Shrew episode, but I was probably about 13 when it aired.

This strike is weird - I don't actually know (other than through here) any writers, but I read enough blogs and so on that it feels personal to me.

Thanks for the correction, Tom!

Now, if I could only find the original place I read it, so that I could post there your correction as well. Hmm.

Thrive to spite them

it resulted in the horrid episode that everyone called Riker's Brain

Is that the horrible clip show when Riker was dying and they bombarded him with bad memories and then good memories (like every time he tried to sex up an alien)? Because that was the episode that was on when I finally got my family to watch TNG to see how good it was and should be watched.

More on topic, this morning I was listening to a morning show and the djs were making the argument that the writers aren't in a strong place because of reality shows. I'm not sure if the arguement was the networks would just throw on a bunch of reality shows during the strike, or that the networks would decide to do a way with scripted shows in favor doing unscripted.
