This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

It seems the blacklist is alive and well. Only this time, we've written it ourselves.

Awesome.

Wow. That's pretty uncool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes.

You people and your crazy Variety-speak.

No, my pattern is one they were giving out for free at a yarn store.

and it was for the brand/type of yarn you used? That bites. My issue is of my own making (kinda) - I am making the pattern in a different guage than the pattern, so that could be contributing, oh oh oh - AND i just looked at the yardage info and my skein is 60 yds LESS than the skein they used for the pattern - hell.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Wow. That's pretty uncool.

Nah. It's lightweight. Not too terribly long ago, you'd be left bleeding behind a 7-11 for working during a strike. Or at least kicked out of the union.

I know of relatively recent cases where people got their cars worked over with baseball bats for crossing a picket line.

Ah, the memories ...

They resigned from the union, as is legally allowed. And, from the wording of the letter, it seems not all of them worked during the strike.

This is what is pinging me as uncool.

They're not being blacklisted for explicitly working during the strike. They are being blacklisted for refusing to participate.

I'm pretty pro-union, but this bothers me. Suffice to say violence toward persons or property for strikebreaking is also unacceptable to me.

John Ridley's the only name on that this I recognize, and I'd expect he's proud to be on that list. I don't think he's done any TV recently, anyway. He's still got novels, comic books, and NPR.
