Movie Awards. Winner. It's been a big night for Ernie! He won three times at the movie-set caterer awards! On one set he made a healthy, refreshing beverage that received rave reviews from the cast and crew. He won the "best pitcher" award for it. Did they say he won for best costumes? No, his dressings won. His sticky buns won also. For "best leading roll" performance, right? No, for best "cinnamontography"!

"Our problem is we upgraded everything in the new version except the hype."

"There's a rumour that someone may be resigning today."

'Wow!! Do I ever like the flavour of the month!!'

'Very impressive, but is there anything you can't do?'

'It's creative as hell! Now that you've got that out of your system, give me a campaign that will sell.'

Personnel. Are you familiar with "flex time"? Just the usual kind -- slow workdays and fast weekends.
