OH, and it's my b-day today. Woo! Nothing happening today; celebration is tomorrow. So I'm chillin.
As the Mythbusters have shown, given enough duct tape, there really isn't much you can't accomplish.

Oh, yeah. That happens. Usually after I'm done with the first draft of something, not the outline.Yep. I'm not so sure this outlining thing is working out for me. My fear--that once I had the story outlined, I'd lose interest and go looking for the next bunny to feed--seems to be coming true.
I am a little bit of a hybrid, I'm realizing. I often start out pantsing it, then force an outline on it because my pantsing can get me wildly off tangent. And not in that good, discovering all sorts of wonderful new story threads, way. More like the: WTF is that doing in there? way.I'm not caving yet, but...yeah, I'm still a pantser at heart.
There's one episode, in particular, where they test out if it is possible for a person to catch a bullet in their mouth. [...] hell, they could have done an interview with her via satellite.
Mythbuster Alaska episodes drive my local writing crew absolutely nuts - the cabins "in the middle of nowhere?"
Do they skip the steps, or do those steps just make for bad television, and thus get omitted?

I don't think it was supposed to be actually in the middle of nowhere. Just to simulate it.
You people sure are literal for a bunch of writers.
Someone asked them this question, or a variant thereof at least, during one of the audience Q&A sessions they had.
Actual time on most of the myths takes weeks, if not longer, from idea to completion, and most of that gets shortened and cut for tv.
(on a related note, Ghost Adventures has an awesome research team. If only all shows spent the extra cash on backing up their claims...)
Oo, a man in a kilt! Hey baby, wanna chat in private? *sexy wink*
I like a man with a long sword.

That's your point of comparison for accuracy in television?? *THAT'S* your point of comparison???
Happy Birthday!
Look, even BW turned out for the celebration.

Be right there...
The guys may take shit for their "hauntings", but the guys digging through the books to back them up know what they are doing.
Yes, yes. Go. Some of us are trying to eat here.
