I am officially ON STRIKE as of right now.
My reasons are legion. BooMan does not provide me with health care, a decent living wage or adequate working conditions. Come to think of he doesn’t pay me anything. And I have to work from HOME! (Wait a minute, that’s not all bad, he can’t see me when I goof off on company time, or leave work to to go get a latte and chat up the cute Baristas, or. . . nevermind). And the worst thing of all, is he never offers me any help writing my stories. He’s heartless, I tell you.
But anyway, I deserve more. And better, lot’s of better. Like a personal assistant to do all my typing, a personal editor, a personal writer (to take my ideas and flesh them out for me), a personal masseuse (this is a very stressful job, after all, and I need my back muscles kneaded by a professional) and a public relations assistant to get my name out there so I can become an A List blogger and get my own damn blog and make the big bucks by appearing on Countdown or Hardball or at least the Rachel Maddow Show. But will BooMan spring for these necessities to advance my brilliant career? Will he even consider my more than reasonable demands? Do I really have to answer these questions?
So you won’t be seeing me around here no more. Not on your life. Until tomorrow. Maybe. Probably. But nothing for the rest of today! Take that Big Man with your name on the Green Banner next to that poor frog you’ve been torturing for years now by putting him in stress positions! See if you can make it through the night without me. I dare you!
Phew. I feel much better now that’s off my chest.
Good luck with that, Steven. We’ll miss you. Until tomorrow.
Would a cookie help?
i don’t think that’s the strike booman was talking about.
I am definitely boycotting your time away from BMT! In fact, I am going to unread everything you ever wrote, and then undo any action or thought you may have inspired. Its people like you who are just like yourselves! I hope you put that in your pipe and run it up the flagpole and see if the cat smokes it up. Or else!
I am officially ON STRIKE as of right now.
Who said that?
(Pssst. BooMan. I hear there’s an opening on the front page. How do I apply?)
And here I thought you were talking about bowling. Strike on!
LOL. I can’t believe the petulance of the strikers at the unmentionable. So silly. And so, er, unnoticed, really.
No, they’ve gotten noticed, but not in any of the good ways. Sort of like you might like to be noticed in a crowd, but not because you’re trailing the toilet paper out of the bathroom.
I’m with you brother. We have been under this Green Iron Fist for far too long.
Si Se Puede!
You dropped this —————–> ¡
¡ Sí se puede !
Thanks, I didn’t know how to type it in.
I cheated and copied it out of the character map. (Same with the accented í). There’s supposed to be a way to do it with the alt key and the number pad, but I’ve never been able to remember how to do it.
Who’s Steven D??
Isn’t this a right to work site?

Researchers in San Francisco just completed a study that found that chronic emotional stress erodes telomerase, an enzyme in our cells that helps extend our life span, keeping us young and healthy. The cells of the most stressed-out women in the studies were effectively aged ten years more than normal.
The point here is not to make you even more tense–really. It’s about arming yourself: Understanding the causes of stress takes you halfway toward winning your personal battle against it. And when you consider the ecology of stress, New York is like a psychological experiment designed specifically to test the bounds of sanity.

Steven, may I suggest you pick up a pencil and start writing again. It relieves stress, preserves sanity and extends your life cycle. I’m not sure about the effect on your readers, so perhaps I may go on … readers strike!
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."Now that the writers strike is over I’m boycotting the new shows. Now I’m hooked on hockey again.
Take that CBS.
Damn funny Steven.
