I said oh-ee-oh-ee-oh! ICE! ICE! ICE!

There may yet come a day when I don't respond to someone's declaration of

"Brr! It's cold in here!"

with

"There must be some Clovers in the at-mos-phere!"

But that's not a day I look forward to.

Two points I'm pondering:

1. Would anyone outside of Britain give a crap about Guy Fawkes' Day if not for Alan Moore?

2. Will the writers get what they deserve? I hope so. They produce the content that keeps me me fangirling, and they deserve better percentages of sales. That much I agree with. Maybe I'll post something longer in Teacup later. Usually strikes piss me off, but I'm finding myself supporting this one.

I'm with you on the strike thing. I really do hope they get a better shakeout thanks to this ... the media landscape is a-changin', and the writers deserve better compensation as a result.

I'm with you on point number two. It's possible that I'm biased, being an actor's kid, but it's really crazy how much of a share the producers get given the minimal creative work they do. I'm also curious about two things: 1) how and whether the Teamsters will support this, and 2) what the repercussions/rewards will ultimately be for SAG & DGA members. Interesting times.

Psst. I think you mean Alan Moore. ;)

(And I learned of it from Daria, thankyouverymuch!)

I know you didn't think a white girl made that shit up...

Me too. This seems like it's not terribly unreasonable and you KNOW that the studios play massive games with the accounting.

While I agree with both of your later points, I comment primarily because:
OMG, I have the very same automatic, Bring-It-On response every time anyone says that! And people say it a lot...
