That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Eisner also said there was no money to be made on the internet.

Here are the facts. There is a verbal tentative framework of a deal. They are still working out the details and putting things in writing. We have a membership meeting this Saturday where, hopefully, we will learn the terms and structure of this deal.

Depending on how that meeting goes, there will be some kind of recommendation made by the Negotiating Committee and the Board. If they recommend the deal, it will be put to a vote by the membership. If the votes are there, then and only then, is the deal done.

Honestly, the more these guys and the press talk up this "deal," the worse they make the situation. I fear Saturday night.

Thanks, Kristen. I hope that the deal is fair, and works out.

Right now, I'm just hoping that people can calm down enough to listen rationally to what the deal is. There's been a lot of trash talking and we don't even have the details yet.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Has the strike been on long enough to invoke Godwin's Law?

Strike talkin', it's what we saw
Strike talkin', invoke Godwin's Law.
In that strike, all those jibes...
They're kind of gettin to me...

Well, there was a version of Snacky's law, just a little...backwards?

There once was a man named Minear
Who killed characters off without fear
His heroes they tend
To come to bad ends
We yearn for another premiere.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Nice one, Ginger!
