Choco1980 posted:Very recently Wil Wheaton had a blog post go viral about this very thing. Huffington asked him if they could reprint an article he wrote. He asked how much do they pay contributors, and they hemmed and hawwed, explaining they don't, but it's great widespread exposure for his work! He said no. The blog post talks about how the claim of "exposure" is a dirty business attempt and how no matter what you create, you should never let yourself be ripped off like that. In his case, he figured even at industry minimums per word he should be offered $260, which isn't much for a guy like him, but it's still more than zero. But it would be great for your portfolio!

I love the mascot in the first one, his arms out in disbelief as she runs off, and then putting his arm around the guy as he walks him off the court.

Nighthand posted:The dispute with lemonheads is probably due to there being two different lemonhead candies. Oh man, the new regular sized Lemonheads aren't nearly as good as they were as a kid. Most everyone in my family except a handful of adults hated lemon flavored candy, I loved Lemonheads and lemon Starburst. Definitely agree the giant Lemonheads are more consistent, some small ones have the 50/50 of being pure lemon concentrate or a ball of sugar with zero lemon flavor.

Basically it works by focusing the life energies from Sedona into the toxins in your hand that cause the cramps. Its all proven and totally works. Buy these crystals guys!

Had a buddy who played pool professionally for a while, he said he loved playing against guys like this. They're so easy to put on tilt, and then you pretty much will always win. According to him, the best way to piss them off is to just look like you're having a good time and not taking it at all seriously.

I admit I know even less about hockey than I do most sports, but is charging full tilt at someone like that allowed? That's not a "gonna get the puck" charge, that's a "I'mma gently caress you up" charge.

Dunno what would happen in this situation.
