Wow. Now explain the infield fly rule.

P.S. As a reader, the Dinty Moore gag wouldn't raise any red flags for me. Now, if the gag was immediately followed up by "Livin' On a Prayer" coming up on the soundtrack, then we'd have a problem.

People, there you are. If The Bitter Script Reader doesn't get heartburn over something, then you can be pretty damn sure you're on safe ground.

And by the way, when was the last time you visited The Bitter Script Reader's blog?

Nothing gives script readers heartburn. We've all had our hearts removed. Or so I've been accused, many times.

Thanks for the plug, Scott.

I think it's almost impossible to escape those types of references. "pick up a Coke" sounds better than "pick up a soft drink."

Or a reference to Glenlivet can be a reveal.

I'm with Scott, IF you haven't visited the Bitter Script Reader's blog site, you should. Especially early in the week -- that's when Bitter is at his best.

Thanks Scott.

As a man schooled in the hallowed halls of Acme Looniversity and having studied under the fine tutelage of Professor Rufus T. Firefly, I couldn't agree more.

The gag stays!

Oh and by the way, I'm a die hard American Leaguer in National League clothes... now if only my Brewers would switch back, all would be right with the world! (worst mistake that team ever made... well, one in a series of "worst mistakes," I guess...)

Oh and BSR, the day I make a Bon Jovi reference in one of my scripts is the day I feed my laptop to feral platypus.

But never say never I guess...
