I’m On Strike
Posted on | January 16, 2008 at 6:01 am | 6 Comments
In the opening of The Daily Show last night, Jon Stewart basically used my joke from this blog entry from last March. I guess the whole gambling side effect thing is more well known now that the RLS drugs are actually on the market and are being peddled on TV. (Gambling addiction isn’t the only known side effect; there’s also sex addiction, according to the TV spots. Hmmmmm.) So, does this mean I’m now a writer for the Daily Show and I have to join the WGA? Do I have to go on strike? What a way to start a job…
Pray for me. I’m taking the bus today. I’ll let you know how it all works out.
Latre.

No, but you should talk to your doctor about whether “Bactine” is right for you… it’s the #1 recommended treatment for scabs when used as directed! May cause blindness, hearing impairment, weight gain, and precognition.

What do you mean, pray for you? What was that whole to-do on this forum in December about anyway?
But you know me. Of course I’m praying for you. Buses are terrific, by the way.

“Buses are terrific,” yes…but in what ways? For one thing, they make an excellent Prius-damaging device!

These days, “Pray for me” is a kind of generic request for good fortune, sort of like the “Bless you” after a sneeze, or like “Kleenex” means “tissue” even if the specific tissue brand is not Kleenex.

Nope, not buying it! Janet has a point, and you’ll need a good press secretary to wriggle out of this one Mr. Flip-flopper.

Uh-huh…and we call it “Thursday” because we’re all worshipping the Norse god of thunder, right?
