Xander ,'Touched'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
We don't blame our bad drivers on a particular state, it is just, Tourists!
I always figured the red car being pulled over in a pack of speeding drivers was a matter of it being the easiest one to pick out. Bright yellow would work too. I've deserved my speeding tickets. Too damn expensive so I have slowed down.
Now I'm all curious about what LAistas call it.
In Pennsylvania, it was called the Minnesota Rolling Stop. Not a lot of Californians driving around Pennsylvania.
Me, I call it efficient.
Amy, tell the truth, your last name is Olbermann, isn't it? Although I have learned that idiots heart "Sir" and "Madam".

I call that stopping.

Stopping.
I think the last time I actually came to a complete, not-moving-at-all stop at a stop sign was ... my driver's test.
You are bad people.
All I've heard it called it here is a California Roll
Mmmmmm...sushi....
Must. Vent. Ugh. There is a rule for the Actor's Equity Association (actor's union) that whenever there's a replacement actor in the show, you have to notify the audience. One of the ways we do that is by putting a "stuffer" in the program. It's a pain in the ass, but it's pretty rare.
This show has been a stuffer nightmare. We had the norovirus go through the theatre, so there was a period of about three weeks when we had to do this every night in various incarnations, then we had two extensions so a lot of people were in and out, etc. Suddenly, this asshole understudy (who once lied to me, I don't forget shit, buddy) decides that he wants to have his bio in the stuffer when he goes on. I understand that your bio isn't in the program, and you want your "recognition" He has gone on FAR more than expected, and certainly earned his understudy money, but this is fucking ridiculous. You are an UNDERSTUDY. You are in the ENSEMBLE. We have to make, cut, and stuff the damn things in the hour (or less) before the house opens. Doing special shit takes time we don't have. Even the stage manager who passed along the request knows it's bullshit, because her comment was "what do you want me to tell him, besides 'act better' ", but the idiots at the theatre are indulging this asshole, costing time and money. ARGH.
Vortex - maybe tell him that you've already done the stuffers, but that if he feels it's necessary to have his bio in, he can print, cut, and stuff (heh) them himself.
