Some tv production company sent along a very poorly written email soliciting input for a "documentary-style" (not sure what that implies) show called "Murder" for SpikeTV.

The email seemed quite clear in suggesting that any input will only be compensated with an on-air credit. I'm not a fucking monkey, I don't do work for free, and I'm not impressed with the idea of being credited on air. I want a fucking paycheck, not bragging rights to say my name flew by in the credits to a show followed by "TNA Wrestling," or "The World's Biggest Titties," or whatever else Spike shows these days.

It's from the production company behind modern classics like "Road Rules," "The Real World," and "The Simple Life." Pardon my valley girl for a moment, but.


GUH! Gag me with a fucking spoon!

*whew* all is better now. Now off to play Smooth Moves and see what that's all about.

Sounds like a plan. I've got a .223 with Digg's name on it.

Speaking of ARs, they're cheaper than I thought... $900 with a scope/mount ftw.

I don't remember the last time I blew this much money in one day at work.

Bought:

- Bond 4-Pack (Amazon DOTD)
- Casino Royale
- Xbox 360 Premium
- Extra Controller
- Live Vision Pack
- 1600 Points Card

Didn't get any games, but I have a major shoot coming up in the next week so I have no free time and I don't want to be tempted when I have editing to get done.
 
73 today, and it feels fucking awesome.

I've been selling stuff on Amazon, and someone left me feedback of 3 out of 5 "fair transaction." They got their dvd within 3 days, and its brand spanking new. I took it out of the plastic wrap. Made a copy then shipped it to them. Thats more then fair, well sorta. So until other people leave me feedback I'm at 50%, which doesn't help my sales.

I didn't take many creative liberties when I redrew Slowbro, but I will when I redesign Machamp. (Suggested by ryles.)

I'm gonna try to draw it at work tonight...

thankfully, we have a breezeway between the backyard and the house, and we keep the dog's towels out there so i was able to get most of it off before he got into the house and started rolling on the carpet.

Yes, we do. I didn't see said email previously, which is why I didn't take care of it. Then again, my spam filter's been a little wonky of recent, so it may have eaten it.

In any case, problem fixed, and PM sent to the offending user.
 
i swear our dog is part cat. against my better judgement, i gave him the chik-fil-a toy. first thing he did was carry it to his crate like a cat would carry a dead bird to the doorstep. he picked it back up a bit later and he's been carrying it around like i imagine wubb's cat does.

I want to blend some sort of emphatic action with your username to describe the swift justice you've doled out. However, other than the somewhat overused "Pre-emptive Shrike", I'm drawing a fucking blank. "Shrikedown" just doesn't cut it and "Shrikeout" sounds like Shrike failed instead of handing out a smackdown.

Throw the Shrike at em?

"Send you to a Federal, Shrike-me-in-the-ass, prison."?

Niether of those work. It was more of an "Ex-post-facto-Shrike" anyways since zew had to point it out.

Screw it, I'm going home. I haven't done shit all day at work today. Like everyone else, I enjoy a slow day at work, but fuck... give me a reason to at least BE here. God damn, I'll make you some fucking coffee or something.

go add it to wikipedia or urban dictionary.
 
Does anyone know if all USB dance pads will work with DDR Universe? I really don't feel like buying a bundle, and I assume the pad that comes with it is a piece of shit.
 
[quote name='XchikaXchikaX']go add it to wikipedia or urban dictionary.[/QUOTE]Haha, alright. Here's what I've got so far. Any suggestions before I submit this to Urban Dictionary?
Word: Shrike

Definition:

1. To report spam, offensive posts, or just general idiocy to a moderator/administrator.
Function: verb.

2. Forum justice, often silent, swift, and deadly.
Function: noun.

Examples:

"Shrike this spam."

"Whoa, that got Shriked fast."

i don't think "report" is the right word, but i can't quite put my finger on what is.

i don't think that last one is a noun homey.

I wouldn't mind having the Starfox Soundtrack either. Then all I would need to do is edit in some of the other pilots voices in at random moments and it would be just like the game except with more explosion :evil:.

[quote name='CNN.com']Colorado teen recklessly careens down thruway listening to videogame music. After hitting a ramp, the SUV flipped over several times before catching fire and exploding. Eyewitnesses stated hearing the driver screaming "DO A BARREL ROLL" as he headed toward certain death.

[quote name='Eviltude']Devour? Consume? Fry? Make a sammich?[/quote]

"edit and/or eliminate" i think is more on the right track.

Don't do it.
 
Can we call it "shrikalypse" ?

Damn. That is one ugly lookin' word. Shrikeageddon is kind of the complimentary word.

Hmm.

Shriketastrophe! (Duketastrophe!)

Shrikehilation? Shrikapitation? You got shrikehilated. Haha that sounds dirty.

I'm still thinking, throwing out ideas as they appear. I just got off a 2 hour and 14 minute call where I got to remap 5 freakin' workstations, and that was no fun. No fun at all! Did feel good to pwn that shit back into place.

fucking machines. This is my house.

You must be in the minority of people who haven't had a spam sammich.

You can't edit a spam sammich anyways. ;)

D'oh, made it into a verb too.

[quote name='XchikaXchikaX']"edit and/or eliminate" i think is more on the right track.[/QUOTE]I added that in place of report.

Anything else?
 
[quote name='Eviltude']You must be in the minority of people who haven't had a spam sammich.

yea but you can eliminate it. that's why "and/or" is key. cuz he does edit offensive posts, sometimes eliminating them all together (see posts 2 OTTs ago relating to jPoD ;))
 
Ah. Got the windows open for the first time this year. It's pretty nice, though the birds are gon' get it if they keep up all this noise.

shrike's only saying that because he doesnt have mod prowess at urban dictionary.

However, you're far too late to stop this from becoming part of CAG's vocab ;).
