WGA Strike, Craig Ferguson and the Return of the Bunny

After I left the office yesterday and made stops at both the little market in town and the dollar store, I pulled in to the driveway to find someone waiting for me. There, in the spot where I normally park the hippy van sat a large, furry critter with long floppy ears.

The Apocalyptic Bunny has returned!

He didn't budge as I pulled in the drive. He sat there looking around, very unconcerned as I opened the door and gathered all my bags. It wasn't until I began to get out of the van that he hopped off across the road.

I've been finding little bunny poopie turds by the van each morning, so I've been watching for him. When I went out this morning to leave for work, I took a small carrot out there and broke it up near the spot where he likes to hang out.

Anywho...

Tomorrow is November 30th, the day that Craig Ferguson was going to appear in Big City. I don't have to tell any of you who have known me for any length of time that I am profoundly unhappy about the cancellation. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to ya'll that I'm more than a little fed up with the current writers strike and it's effect on late night talk shows. My gripe isn't with the WGA, I think they have legitimate requests. I'm just going to need for whoever it is that's holding up progress to put on their big boy britches and stop pussyfootin' around.
I need my Fergburger dammit! I need Barney Slash, with his unfastened trousers and brightly colored leisure jackets, leering seductively into the camera. I miss John Tesh (not that John Tesh) wiggling his money maker.
Don't make me come out there. If I do, I'm bringing a fly swatter and some people are going to learn to share and play nice or I'm going to start firing up some butt cheeks. This has gone on long enough.
I mean it now. That's enough.
I'm going to get back to work, but I'm keeping my eye on the situation. Ya'll settle it amongst yourselves or I'll be forced to intervene.
They have hickory switches in Hollywood don't they?

Maybe they should have requested you to be the negotiating in the first place! I'm with you on the strike needs to end NOW!

Warning, some of the writers will now demand to be swatted by you before they go back to work, some of them like that kind of thing!
