wow.
so i had to give you guys an update this morning. i got to work at 1:30, as usual, and kind of moseyed around..eating my sunchips and drinking about 10 cups of delicious free filtered water.
then the bomb drops.
the producer i work under (no pun intended)..barfed..like 5 times.
pregnancy, food poisoning, a bug, whatever it was,,she had to go home.
well usually there is another guy here named daniel, but he is on vacation.
thus, how hailey produced her first morning show..all two hours of it. bethany had written some stuff, but i basically had to rework everything with a little help from our reporter who used to be a producer for like a year somewhere else.
then i had to run the whole show from the booth.
it wasn’t beautiful..and it damn sure wasn’t perfect..but, by god, it was mine.
i now understand the phrase “baptism by fire”.

I honestly don’t understand the pun.

Hailey, I hate to be the bad guy in all this, but if you wanted to understand the phrase “baptism by fire,” I could have explained it to you. I am a professional at this. I could have saved you the trouble today.
Stephen is definitely not going to like this.

And we all know what Bethany writes. What an awesome opportunity. Good thing you bought those jellies!
Robin, alluding to information you know we alone are privy again? That’s wrong and bad. I would never do that.

i am confused.
and wearing the jellies.

I still don’t understand the “no pun intended bit.” Don’t make me ask for an explanation!
June 6th, 2008 at 8:56 AM
I think she was saying “work under” and reading it sexually in her head. So in a blog full of miscreants she went ahead and obviated the “work under” joke responses.
Stephen: I was alluding to the post. You just alluded to what only you and I are privy to–and that’s wrong, and bad.
And yeah, Bethany is a slut.

I don’t watch the news. If I did though, I’m sure I’d give it a standing ovasion <pradobly speelled dat rong
June 7th, 2008 at 1:27 PM
Even if she was trying to evade the sexual innuendo, I don’t see how it could be a pun. A pun (or paronomasia) is a phrase that deliberately exploits confusion between similar-sounding words for humorous or rhetorical effect.
This was my Robin impression.

How obnoxious. I remember leaving the first comment on this post, and being very enthused, and this comment seems never to have appeared. I’m not sure if I’m living a double life, because this is not the first thing like this that has happened in the past few weeks.
Anyway, the comment basically said that I think you’re awesome. So there you go.
June 8th, 2008 at 12:21 AM
I should not have started off a comment with “how obnoxious,” as it initially seems like I mean your post was obnoxious… which is not what I meant at all.
I can neither think nor write straight tonight. Which must mean I’m either writing crooked or gay. Or both?! Who knows.

Er, if that’s the case, I may have deleted them permanently! I apologize most sincerely. We’ve been getting hit with tons of comment spam lately and it appears I haven’t been doing a good job sorting it. Were you signed in so your little picture icon showed everything? I’ll try to do better and I’m sorry!
June 8th, 2008 at 4:15 PM
I believe him. Gorry! Look at that shoe-polish smile!
June 8th, 2008 at 9:05 PM
I may not have been signed in, but I still would’ve had my e-mail address in there…
…but then, there’s the very real possibility that I actually typed a comment and closed the window without submitting it, because I’ve been that spacey lately. Probably my bad.
June 8th, 2008 at 10:31 PM
That’s nice of you to say but probably not true! Well, if your email address was in there, that means you probably had your little icon up and everything. That means that not only did I miss your text, I also breezed by your picture!!
I had a friend named Joey once. In Animal Crossing. He was a yellow duck, and promised me that if I bought him yellow furniture, he would do action poses on them just like in the movies. He gave me his picture, but later left my town. I should have killed him with my butterfly net.
