From my own strike experience (hubby not me) looks like Letterman is sporting a strike beard.

2. Ha ha! Haven't seen DL in a while. When did he turn into The Old Man And The Sea???

7. Apparently he grew it during the two months the show was in re-run mode

To me he now looks like the Granpa on "The Simpsons"

3. Excellent....

"producers must immediately remove their heads from their asses". :rofl:

Strike on, oh writers. Victory is at hand. :woohoo:

4. Happy to give the 5th recommend!

Rock on writers. You WILL win this one.

5. Letterman was also a writer...

I think you are correct about his beard. There was never a doubt in my mind that he would deal with the writers, for this reason. He's a good guy!

GO WRITERS! You are going to win this battle.

6. Of the shows returning ...

... Letterman, O'Brien, Leno, Ferguson, Daily Show, Colbert ...

... only Letterman has a contract with the writers, so the rest are effectively crossing the picket line, yes? And we shouldn't be watching any of the other shows, right?

8. Correct!!

9. That was great!

I really like #2, where they disclaimered writing the lame jokes! :rofl:

I'm with you, Writers. Step by step! :hi:
