27.02.08 :: annuale. once a year. period. [hold on to your f*cking hat]

i missed saturday night live this past week. it was the first live show aired since the end of the writers' strike. i hope the resolution that was reached was fair and balanced. and i hope it serves as a reminder of just how important writers are. (having to suffer through weeks of no new ugly betty episodes should be enough to illustrate that point.)

even though i didn't see it, my sister-in-law sent this link to me for a funny snl parody commercial about annuale, the magic pill for women to extend the time between their periods to 11 months. (you'll have to bear with the preemptive commercial; that's how writers get paid).

side effects include development of a second vagina, but i'm sure it's otherwise harmless...

26.02.08 :: ...trying to sweep the poor little blogger under the carpet

the members of the board of directors of this lousy blog site -- having met recently -- have made an executive decision: they can no longer sit back and watch lonestarsteve.com deteriorate like it has.

afterall, it was they who helped to make this blog site, sharing the burdens and the joy.

and they will give lonestarsteve himself ample time to repay the debt. plenty of time.

of course, they'll have to take the 5th avenue apartment. lonestarsteve wouldn't want stay there alone anyway, right?

lonestarsteve :: what debt? i've got shares of stock.
board of directors :: we had to borrow to pay for the construction on your apartment.
l.s.s :: you think you're very clever, don't you? trying to sweep the poor little blogger under the carpet. well, think again. i'm on the board of directors of this lousy blog site.
b.o.d. :: we assumed that you would no longer want to be on the board.
l.s.s. :: i helped build lonestarsteve.com to what it is today. i intend to stay with it.
b.o.d. :: but we have retired you from the board of directors...
l.s.s. :: you nearly drove unprotectedtext to his grave, and now you're trying to stab me in the back? forget it! i fought worse mosters than you for years in the blogosphere! i can win the hard way!
b.o.d. :: we don't want any hard feelings...
l.s.s. :: you don't know what hard feelings are until i come out publicly against this blog site. you'll see how much traffic will change.
b.o.d. :: it's hardly necessary to make threats you surely don't mean.
l.s.s. :: don't call me surely!! er, i mean, don't fuck with me, fellas! this ain't my first time at the rodeo. i can use it any way i want. it's a sword, cuts both ways.
