Apparently, the Mutant Enemy writers are all getting together to strike at Fox in a couple weeks.
They're picket signs have to read Grrr...arrgh.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Jackal was planning a trip to LA around that time...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Grrr...argh would be good, but I think they should all sport Mutant Enemy lines they've written.
Like, randomly from the generator: "Haven't you killed me enough for one day?"
Because of the reminding about writing thing and the glayvin.
If they're shy about carrying their own writing they could pull names out of a hat and Ultimate Drew could sport some Jane, and Tim could be Fury-ous and Joss could be DeKnighted.

What is even happening?
I seem to have been promoted to Picket Coordinator. I think it happened when I sorted and stacked our picket signs by size and content.
Kristen, I'm glad to see you've added upper-body conditioning to your strike-your-way-to fitness plan.

Strike Outlaw? Lost Showrunner Returns to Work.
Whatever you think about the writers strike, ya gotta feel for guys like Lost writer-producer Carlton Cuse. As a writer, he's on strike. But as a producer... mmm. Not so much. So even though he's a member of the WGA's negotiating committee, he's returning to work, at least to do some post-production on the eight episodes that have already been shot. "We feel we owe that to our fans," he tells the New York Times. "We would harm our franchise if we didn't do it ourselves."

I've read so much about the strike that most of it is jumbled in my head. I seem to recall reading though, that because show-runners were joining in this time, the WGA was in a stronger bargaining position than in '88. It's a shame to see someone like Cuse break ranks. It's got to be demoralizing. Why is "the franchise" more important than all the writers who depend on residuals to put food on their tables between jobs -- writers who will never get the dosh or name recognition of a Cuse? Scab.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, there are all those other people who depend on Lost for a job.
