The Hollywood Writers strike continues (for those who care) and FanLib.com has some silly suggestions for making it without your favorite show. Learn to swing a light-saber or build a Star Trek-type phaser. Read a tie-in novel or visit Scranton, Pennsylvania. Do not attempt your own CSI-style investigation or see if you can get your featured on a show of Stupid Criminals, but you could volunteer at a food bank or take some of your decent stuff to a trift store.
