The only news around here is that we are all going to hell.

Smash him on the desk and you'll have your "action" news.

Pick up a bag of ice on the way home and OH get rid of your friend.

Perhaps if you wore a shirt and tie your ratings would go up too.

Well, I'm beginning to feel guilty as I'm the only one who sends in "tons" of captions! Yikes...if there is a limit, let me know! By the way, I prefer your new "ink wash" technique...nice first try, I think!

1) "Jim Hensen, you're not, but try it anyway."

2) "Hurry it up with the Mr. Nice Guy segment...'Hell's Kitchen' is about to air!"

3) "You seem a little conflicted about which side you're on these days!"

4) "Is this one of those moments when you're 'Between the devil and the deep blue sea'?"

5) "It may have worked for Sesasme Street but we're working with a different crowd down here!"

6) "Does every story you deliver have to be followed with 'The Devil made me do it!'?"

7) "Your idea to change our image with the hand puppets has some of the boys 'downstairs' seeing red!"

8) "Go ahead, try the 'good guy' approach if you think anyone down here will listen!"

9) "He's not much of an 'Action' figure on this Station...got anyone a little less clean-cut?"

10) "Are you saying, 'The Devil made me do it'?"

11) "It's going to be Hell to pay if this idea of yours doesn't work!"

12) "You may get the pitchfork if this idea you're pitching doesn't work!"

Annette Bonin, West Ashley

"Mr. Beelzebub doesn't feel like he fits in with our Corporate Culture."

"It's not working, he is too much of a Mr. Sunshine for WHEL TV9."
