DNuts Job

[Urnxtlvr]

I have gotten a few inquiries over the years asking how I pronounced my handle, D'Nut. It's a homophone of Donut. "DNut" is the stock market symbol of Krispy Kreme. I have never worked for them, but I am a huge fan of their products.

Hope that clarifies the mystery.

You must be a fan of that "Glazed" look.

Zdrazvuitii! Good on ya, mate!

Thanks, Bam. Glad to see you're still dispensing valuable intel.

What's up? Just wanted to drop into the board and say, "Ola! Howdy! Hello! Ciao. ".

I perused the board and looks like nothing has changed. I didn't want to muddy up the discussions going on so I decided to post here, to stay out of the way.

But yes, I'm still alive.

Later fellas! Play safe out there. Happy hunting.

Don't mean to revive the thread, but it came up in another thread sooo:

I'd like to hear an example of "great hope" that resulted from the Jerry Springer show. Granted, I only watched it when channel surfing and stopping long enough to shake my head in sadness at our human representation. I missed any sort of positive outcomes as I mashed the remote button to move on.

There was a guy who was in a gang for 20+ years. He had an estranged daughter who was about 18. Mother raised her, and was going to college out of state. The father wanted to be a part of her life, and she flat out said that there was no way he was going to be in her life if he was still in the gang. He wanted to be in her life so badly, he agreed to leave the gang, and he allowed himself to get "beat out" of the gang; he willingly let himself get beat to within an inch of dying by his "brothers". His gang symbol tattoos were branded out with hot metal Xs. But he did it, left the gang, for his daughter.

Any man willing to go through what he did, for a chance to be part of his daughter's life, gives me hope.

I still occasionally get messages about this, so I think I'll just spill the beans. My old job, the one that a lot were asking about, is as a line producer for The Jerry Springer Show.

My job was to find stories, find people for those stories, interview them to get a character profile that the host (Jerry) can use, and write outlines that the head writer and / or Jerry will refer to when writing the Final Thoughts segment.

Saw a lot of good, a lot of bad, some things so disturbing that even we wouldn't dare air it. But there were moments of great hope too.

Charles Dickens summed up that part of my life perfectly, ""It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. ".

Wow, no wonder it took so long to figure this out. Fascinating. Oh the stories I'm sure you could tell!

Golfguy, playing through.

That had to be a fascinating job, simply fascinating. How did you typically go about finding these stories?

Different places. We would place ads in small community papers. Not surprisingly though, after the taping of a show we would have audience members come up to the staff and say, "I have a cousin / aunt / neighbor who. ", and we would take down the information for follow up. There have been situations where I would have go to a small strip club in the middle of nowhere at midnight to interview a stripper who was alleged to be in some weird relationship or another.

A lot of people also have some pathological urge to one up another. I would be in a conversation with complete strangers, and I would just slip in some outrageous story from a past show, and they would offer up an even more ludicrous tale that happened to someone they know.

There's a reason why the show aired for 25 years, for close to 5000 episodes. There are a lot of stories out there, and people are willing to tell them.

Someone correctly guessed my job. Judging from the reaction, I think SHE was only joking when she made a guess, not realizing that she hit the nose on the head. Nail in the doorknob. Stitch in time saves the child the dingo took. What the heck is that expression! I need coffee.
