This is a thread about my salty balls. They itch all the time. I don’t like to scratch my balls because I have long fingernails because I am a pimp. Or, rather, I am rather pimpish. Ra’ther. So what I do with my balls when they itch is the “pinch and roll.” I grab a hunk of the rhino skin that contains my balls and I pinch it and roll it. It feels good and the itching stops.

My balls.
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009So you wanna contact us, huh?
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009Word on the street is that we’re stupid fucking idiots for not blatantly spelling out exactly HOW to contact The Robotard 8000 for all your scriptwriting/gutter cleaning needs.
We put it on the last page of the script, but that wasn’t enough.
We put it on the splash page near all those awesome quotes, but that STILL wasn’t enough.
So now I’m gonna spell it out write here and now for everyone to see!
We are contactable at the following e-mail address:
mongo@www.therobotard8000.com
(You could send mail to BattleDolphinZero@therobotard8000.com as well, but I doubt he’d ever figure out how to read it…)
OKAY, YOU KNOW HOW SOMEONE RECENTLY FOUND AND POSTED THOSE “RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK” STORY CONFERENCE TRANSCRIPTS? WELL, THIS IS BETTER! WAY BETTER!! WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY BETTER!!!
Sunday, April 19th, 2009I’m a bit of a pack-rat when it comes to computer files. I save EVERYTHING. And I thought the other day, “I wonder if I saved the i-chat log between myself and Battle Dolphin Zero where we first started throwing around the idea for BALLS OUT?”
And guess what?
I DID.
And guess what else?
I FOUND IT!
The Double-Edged Sword of Bad Coverage
Monday, April 6th, 2009
Sometimes coverage can make or break a project.
People have so little time and hate reading so much that they often make decisions about whether to read a script or not based on the opinion of someone they have paid to read the script for them!!!
(Shocking, I know.)
But bad coverage can’t hurt us, man.
FUCK COVERAGE!
WE POSTED OUR SCRIPT ON THE GODDAMN INTERNET!
However, for shits and giggles, we asked a friend of ours back in February to cover the script, just to see how a so-called professional reader would respond to it.
Our friend gave it to his company’s top reader, the one who’s used to reading prestige projects and shit. Here’s the e-mail that accompanied the submission of her coverage:

Subject: This is the dirtiest thing i have ever written
i’m thoroughly ashamed of myself.
and i was pretty hard on it… the premise isn’t hopeless, but it’s just so childish and plays the one beat joke ad nauseum.
um… please dont ever tell anyone that i wrote this coverage.
Nice, huh?
Here’s a link to the coverage:

For those of you who have read the script, you’ll notice how many details she got wrong in her summary – something that happens ALL THE TIME with coverage, I might add.
Anyway, we thought you might enjoy this as much as we did.
I Just Figured Out How To Add Photos!
