Did they want it to die up there? Would they be happy to know, a month from then, that poor woman would look out her kitchen window, and see a rotting small bird carcass, still attached to the branch, perhaps leaning to the side at a 65 degree angle, staring at her from where it's eyes used to be, as if to say "why? why didn't you help me? I was just a little, tiny, scared... bird. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to."<br /><br />Yet these stuntmen wouldn't bother to shake off their cheap hangovers, and slide out from under their semi-conscious hookers, to help a poor distraught woman, and her bird, on their own time.<br /><br />I think this just goes to show, being a stuntman may be a profession, but it's not an honorable one.<br /><br />– Snarky JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-23398263547750505372016-04-16T13:27:51.880-07:002016-04-16T13:27:51.880-07:00"After that the conversation got weird."..."After that the conversation got weird." This is the opening to the follow-up sequel.<br /><br />Calling the studio stunt department is definitely a huge leap in problem-solving, but someone over there at Paramount was certainly looking to capitalize. $20k to rescue a bird? Were they bringing a horde of trailers and the camera crew? As crazy as Sally was, the studio accounting / estimate floors me. <br /><br />PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-7833082766869667162016-04-16T11:41:20.315-07:002016-04-16T11:41:20.315-07:00On one show I was running we had an assistant who ...On one show I was running we had an assistant who took it upon herself to "improve" the writing after the writer's room had turned in the rewrite pages. I'm not talking grammar or spelling. I mean she actually changed dialogue, jokes. I told her never to do that again. She did it again.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559664816793244354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-952154269178144012016-04-16T09:33:52.908-07:002016-04-16T09:33:52.908-07:00That was great.

She was very organized and her desk was always spotless. <br />One late afternoon after hours one of our crew trucks went down on the way back to the yard. I needed the file to get some info for parts but I couldn't find it any where. I looked in the vehicle files, equipment files, F for Ford, T for trucks, everywhere. Finally I called her at home. "Hi Faye, could you tell me where the file is for Dennis' truck please?" "It's in the file cabinet behind my desk, dear" "Well that's what I thought, but I can't find it" "Did you look under'W'?" "No, why would I look under 'W'?" "Because it's white dear". "Oh... thanks" "Bye bye dear"<br />I looked and there it was. Silly me.<br /><br />Aloha<br />H Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482221297668464504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-4877964749426455402016-04-16T09:00:49.622-07:002016-04-16T09:00:49.622-07:00And then there’s true story of the lady who called...And then there’s true story of the lady who called 911 because they ran out of Chicken McNuggets: <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ukWLYuio4AAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12532248822112706758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-10063123715387631452016-04-16T07:23:37.587-07:002016-04-16T07:23:37.587-07:00Sally is now a studio exec.
