Deep Thoughts, by Lyle

LyleNews update

I have been watching the writers' strike very closely.  See, I do all my own writing for LyleTV.  I do not belong to a union.  I write whenever I feel like it and I am as funny as I want to be. 

Unfortunately, my production crew is another story.  They are lazy.  They just don't understand how much my audience needs me!  Just the other day I had to sit them all down and give them the what-for.

Here's how it went:

ME:  We need more shows!  There hasn't been anything new on LyleTV in over a week.  Get to work!

PRODUCTION CREW:  I'm busy, Lyle.  I do have another job, you know.

ME:  Come on, Boss Ma'am.  Where are your priorities?

PC:  Do you like to eat, Lyle?

ME:  Oh, yes, I love to eat.  What have you got to eat?

PC:  Nothing, if you don't let me go to work to earn money for your kibble.

ME:  Blah, blah.  Fine.  Go to work.  When you come home, hop to it and type up my shows. 

PC:  When I get home I'm tired.  And I like to spend some time with the girls and your Boss Man, too, you know.

ME:  Again I say blah, blah.  I have an idea.  Send Spring and Maebe back to the shelter.  Then you'll have plenty of time for my projects.

PC:  Not going to happen, Lyle.

ME:  But Maebe's been breathing my air again.  You know how I hate that.  And Spring is...well, she's Spring.  Can't you do something about that?

PC:  They're staying, Lyle.  Deal with it.  Maybe if you ask them nicely, they'll help you with your shows.

ME:  Ha!  Ask them nicely?  To help me?  Ha!  Maebe already ruined Lyle's Toy Box and Spring scared all the guests off of the Lyle and Springer Show.  They're hopeless. 

~~~~~~~~

So in the end, the Production Crew really let me down.  What will happen?  I don't know.  LyleTV may end up as another casualty of another strike.  To all my dedicated viewers, I thank you.  And keep watching.  There are always reruns.
