3. From the, what I did in the war files: Several weeks ago late nite, I was in my favorite water hole in Studio City. A fave of writers, and the like. Inside were just a few nightowls, me and the girlfriend. I was feeling a tad testy, so I asked her, "hey, you want to see me start a fight?" Upon which she says, "what are you talking about?" So I stood up and said: "Leno's allot funnier now that he's writing his own stuff." I immediately sat back down after receiving a steely eyed death glare from the waitress, and hearing the bartender come out with "last call!". I think the girlfriend called out "check please", as she bolted towards the door.

4. LOVED THE WRITERS' COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF TIM LONG. JUST IN CASE ANYONE HAS FORGOTTEN: "FIRST, THERE WAS THE WORD." I AM GLAD THAT THE STRIKE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

6. Remembering that unions were only formed when bosses, owners, and management got greedy and stayed that way. Good TV, movies, etc, ain,t any good if the writing sucks. Actors, smactors - a dime a dozen. Pay writers more - actors less.
