Stop the presses.  Yesterday, I got to try my hand at some writing for the show.  "Wow!," you might think, "She's really moving up in the world."  And before you ask me what I was doing - tying the A story in with the B, punching up jokes - let me just clarify something.  Writers like to drink.  So much so that they will abandon their work to down a few margaritas at the El Torito which is a mere hop, skip, and jump away from our offices.  To their credit, said margaritas do pack more punch than Soda Popinski on a Stoli binge (like that reference?  It's from this new game I developed, called "Name all the Characters in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out").  Last night, after a fierce seven hours in the room, H-Berts gave me the following heads up. 

H-Berts:  We're going to El Torito.

Me:  But you promised the network they'd get the log-lines tonight--

H-Berts:  Oh.... riggghhhtttt... You write them.  I'm going to shoot some Cuervo.

If you are an avid reader of my blog (hahahahahaha - that's a good one), you'll remember my description of a log-line when discussing Dawson's.  "Dawson and Pacey use the Capeside Regatta to wage war for Joey's affections."  Now we all know how that backfired on Dawson.  Luckily, with the help of my sharp wit and H-Berts's tequila-blurred vision, I fared quite well, and The WB was duly impressed with my one-liners.

I, however, will only be duly impressed with you if you can name all the characters in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
