Back to the Grind Open Post

Good morning. Hope you had a great weekend, and are ready for another fun week around here. A special thanks to everyone who participated in the Writer’s Workshop. I am going to leave the thread open, so please feel free to use it as a place to discuss ideas with each other. All right, let’s get to work.

By the way, this video is the reason the Internet was invented.

Message from Bens:
Hey guys, I need your help designing a single webpage that can be displayed when the site is down for maintenance. A .jpg is cool, if you can embed it in to just a page of html, even cooler. Graphics of The Honey Badger taking a cobra venom nap, etc would be rad. Post em here, or send them to me via email. You can find my email under my profile page. We still might have an outage or two, but they won’t last more than 5 mins at a time. Thanks!

Sunday Overnight Thread

Hi Crasstalk. Hope you had a great day and are ready to wind it down. For some reason I have been in the mood for documentaries lately so I am going to post a few clips from my favorites. Put your own recommendations in the comments.

Important Note: Tonight we will be doing site maintenance and you may experience periodic interruptions. Hang with us.
Have a great night.

Sunday Evening Open Thread

Hope you had a great day. I miss when the X Files were on Sunday night, so here is a little flashback to get your evening started.

 

Oh, and they totally warned us about 9/11.

Let’s not forget about these guys.

Have a great night and stop over to the Writer’s Workshop if you have a minute.

Don’t forget: We are migrating servers late tonight and there may be temporary outages tonight and tomorrow morning. Sorry for the hassle, and a big thank you to everyone who donated so that we could afford the upgrade.

Saturday Scary Movie Open Thread

Hi gang and welcome to our second Saturday night scary movie screening. Tonight we are watching Francis Ford Coppola’s classic Dementia 13. It involves axe murdering, so I think you will like it. It also contains the line, “… you can tell she was an America girl, raised on promises.” Which makes both Tom Petty and Jonathan Demme more interesting. Note: the film is taken from the Internet Archive and all rights are reserved for the original copyright owners.

Important Message: We are moving servers again this weekend, probably Sunday night. We’ll do our best to keep the downtime to a minimum, but depending on your ISP you might have some issues. I’m letting you guys know now so you can check Twitter and Facebook for our status.

Another important message. This Sunday we will be having another writers work shop to brainstorm ideas and help each other develop stories. It will be a great chance to get feedback or come up with post ideas. The post will go up in the late afternoon or early evening depending on when The Grand Inquisitor decides to get out of bed.

Have a great night.
