I'm a striking writer.
Ha! you may say. And I'll respond with a Ha! of my own.
I'm not really a writer, not in the WGA/credited/IMDB/real world sense. I've written a few things that have come in no higher than 11th in small contests. I list my RPG character as "screenwriter" in chat room profiles. I make a good salary at a good job with a good sense of stability and reality.
I still wish I could be carrying a sign and yelling "Good night! We won't write!" or "Pay us for the DVDs, or we'll stay out here till we freeze!" Also, Tina Fey looks hot carrying a picket sign.
And besides, being a member of WGA beats being a member of the Film Actors Guild...
