You accepted a jewlery delivory in a purple robe. But in all fairness when I first watched chuck and larry I didn't realize it was david spades ass until it was too late.

I'm looking into becoming an instructor for Rigging certification on the East Coast of Canada.
Myself & a friend are both going to attempt it.

I never stayed in Orlando, but I lived in the Florida Keys for awhile and that was awesome.

I've been to the Arctic several times.
I've sat up at 3 & 4 am with the sun sitting on the horizon, drinking with friends, it's odd to be somewhere & no matter what time of day the suns up.

I seen a couple of Sun Sets in Hawaii a couple years ago ( I think I was there in 2005) that were awesum.
I went one day over to Sunset beach on Oahu just to sit & watch the sunset. It was well worth it .
When the atmosphere is right the Sunsets & rises in the Caribbean are sweet as well.

New car = WIN.

I rock SOOO hard at life.

Unfortunately we must sell the Porsches now. =(

eBay = WIn (for all 3 cars)

Wrong answer =P
It is hot, because it has a 125W TDP, which is bad, very bad.
Which would be the equivalent offer in performance by Intel?

It shouldn't say AMD motherboard, with the ATI fusion it makes it confusing; that it has an ATI chipset can be understood.

Where does it say ATI chipset? (ATX? If so than I never noticed lol.)

It says AMD Motherboard, which equals ATI motherboard nowadays.

I have a similar one. Actually, two similar ones.

Yeah, I don't use a lot of hard drive space.
I got by with 70gb for the longest of time.

I got a 10 gb one when all the other guys had a 1-3 gb ones :3

Anyway, I don't know whether the extra bandwidth makes a difference.

I don't either, but for 25$? It's a steal.

I love to have a computer theoretically superior.

So about this fuzz about a cactus in Iowa. Does that mean that the black-ish person and the bee guy are going to be the next candidates, or it's just slightly more likely for it to be so?

meh what do a bunch of corn farmers know?
It means very little, all it will do is prob give huck and obama a little more spending money.

Would gangrape still be gangrape if the rapee gave their uncoerced consent?

That would just be a gang bang.

Why do you ask? Exciting weekend planned?

Well it seems I said I'd do every girl in the room during a drunken new years party, and now I guess I'm gunna get post-consentually gang banged, when it's least expected.

I'd be skeptical if this particular crew didn't have a history.

surprise orgy

I just hope I don't have my nose buried online busting a gut over a thread like this.

Here's an idea: Instead of forced collective sex you could instead visit a vineyard full of firearms.
So instead of a gangrape you'd have a gungrape.

Hahaha. Geddit? Geddit?

The median, or middle, pay of a screenwriter (who can get work) is $44,350 a year. Only 1/4 of all screenwriters who have work earns less than $37,700 a year. I would imagine that a far less number earns less than $20,000 a year. The WGA took these statistics off their website, because the numbers really aren't that bad and therefore worked against their cause.
Source (it's not the most reputable, but it seems intelligent enough for these purposes.)

Strangely, the median income of the screenwriter is almost exactly the same as the median income for the entire US, $44,000 a year. Don't bother bringing up the average income for all writers or the mean income for all writers, because they are grossly inaccurate, as many are unemployed and dragging the numbers down. For example, the median income of screenwriters, including those without shows to write for, is less than $5000 a year.

I told you they just wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

Writing is generally a freelance operation, and even those writers who get more secure jobs on TV shows never know when that job will end because of cancellation.

What do you want to do, force crummy shows to run so they have job security?

Since I somehow missed the 6-months period to excuse myself from the service, I've gotta go bitch and whine and wave my papers at the first day of training, on the 15th. But apparently being in college is reason enough to be routinely dismissed.

It's kind of patronizing to assume I don't know what "median" means.

And $44k is not a lot when you live in Los Angeles or New York.

Don't bother bringing up the average income for all writers or the mean income for all writers, because they are grossly inaccurate, as many are unemployed and dragging the numbers down.

That tone is grossly unnecessary. And for someone who wanted to point out the definition of "median" for me, it seems kind of ridiculous that you don't know that "average" and "mean" are the same thing.

This really should not be discussed here, and since you're obviously going to stick to the "writers are greedy" line and not look at the fact that pretty much everyone else in the entertainment industry makes an assload more money than the writers, I'm not going to waste the effort.

I know a number of people in the TV business, and the folks who get shit on the most are the writers and the production assistants. Very few writers in other industries, or people in general, would put up with the garbage that TV writers do for as little as they make. It's not strictly a numbers game.

And since there's no politics in the Lounge, I'll shift to a happier topic: I'm going to look at apartments this afternoon! Yesterday we saw a townhouse that turned out to not allow pets (and Charlie is family, so fuck them), and a fantastic little 50s single-family house that would have been perfect if it were not for the horrid kitchen. Today we have three more properties to visit.

Apartment-hunting is not fun, in fact it's really frustrating. Northern Virginia is not a great place to live when your household income is less than six figures. This move has got me seriously considering a change of employment. I'm fully qualified to make a lot more than I do, and I'm getting towards the end of my master's degree and won't have to worry about balancing schoolwork as much.

Hell, I'd be happy to make twenty-five or thirty grand a year.

I know, maybe I'll become a screenwriter. I hear they're rolling in it.

Anyone who doesn't feel that way about their 'pets' shouldn't be allowed to have them.
