At first the Buddhist Monks were
Shocked to find the Dalai Lama reborn on to the wheel of life in this lowly guise, but you only had to stare into his eyes to feel the awe of being in the presence of true holiness.



and yes this makes him a buddhist Monk'ey :)

Huge-headed women live in the Japanese mountains

They spend their time racking their oversized brains on how to get back at all the small-headed freaks that live in the cities.

I'm pretty sure the one she's after was the board standard 'like crack but more addictive' so I had to send her an essay back about how we're not all crack whores.

It was, sort of, but yours deserves extra wooage
for a different interpretation :o)
the other one was 'chess nuts boasting in an open foyer' which was most groansome

If only they were holding cocktail glasses

They probably won't use it anyway.
What did you ask for?
( Artamnesia, Tue 17 Dec 2002, 18:50, archived)

they gave me £50
and also I made sure I changed the contract.

It's pretty nasty. Signing it gives them rights to use the item in ALL MEDIA. I.e. on their site, magazines etc.

Ok - in theory they shouldn't do anything naughty - but it's a hell of a lot of rights to give away just to get something on TV.
( rob You should follow me http://twitter.com/robmanuel, Tue 17 Dec 2002, 18:53, archived)

I thought it seeemd rather nasty, too
this one scared me:"...including the right to edit and/or make changes to such website..."
( Artamnesia, Tue 17 Dec 2002, 18:58, archived)

sorry to sound negative
it's fun getting stuff on TV. I just don't want SO TV using you guys as an unpaid resource.

If his people get in touch - then ask for money! The writers get paid very nicely ...
