Do you like CSR Nation's New Home Page Design?

[Karen Goldstein]

I don't! What's with all the green? The previous one was much nicer. What does everyone else think?

[Jennie Ann]

Green is my favorite color, and I've always liked The Color of Money [pun intended]. ;-)

[Karen Goldstein]

Well, maybe you've got a point there. I wa$n't looking at it that way.

[Jennie Ann]

[Karen Goldstein]

I don't understand. Who is Fedor? Why is he winking at me?

[Jennie Ann]

I just discovered him a short time ago when I provided transcripts for MMA matches. I'm impressed that you know Fedor. I had never heard of him before this transcript I did. LOL

Fedor is winking at you about our agreement that green is the color of money, money, money: MONEY!

[Karen Goldstein]

were you actually at the matches? where did you sit? what was it like? was it realtime?

[Karen Goldstein]

and what did the transcript look like? something like this?

FEDOR: Oof.

[Jennie Ann]

No, I was not at the matches. The client gave me DVDs. I transcribed the two commentators sitting ringside using a QWERTY keyboard, meaning I typed them.

The tournament matches were held all over the world. There were teams of fighters in different weight classes from various countries.

The matches were difficult to watch, due to the way the fighters would fight, and there is no doubt in my mind that the commentators were speaking 300-plus WPM at times. Here's an example of short colloquy:

JONES: Watch out, Sammy, Fedor is going for the rear rodeo mount.
.
SMITH: Oh, no, Jannes is showing his back. Fedor going for the leglock. Won't be long now.

JONES: And here comes the hammerfist, Sammy. Whoa. Look at that Muay Thai background. What a headkick. Now a ground-and-pound by Fedor. Jannes is in trouble.

SMITH: And there's the tap. That's it. What a fight. Fedor is the baddest man on the planet.

And then there was the theme music, which scared me: SCARY THEME MUSIC

Chorus: "Going to raise my fist, going to raise my fist, going to raise my fist like this."

[Karen Goldstein]

Wow! You go girl! How did you get that gig?

[Jennie Ann]

Word of mouth, I think. The transcripts were actually very difficult to do because the colloquy was fast and furious, and then there was the unusual terminology. The music, however, made me feel like I was in hell. OMG, that music. LOL

Hey, I kind of like your avatar for a CSRnation logo. We ought to have a CSRnation logo contest. Of course, the men may not like a logo with a red rose, but I sure do. It is so cute. :-)

[Kelli Combs (admin)]

Yeah, i don't really like it myself... I just spent a bunch of time on it I figured i use it for a couple of weeks.
I'll change it sooner then later now that I read this!

O laaks to keep everyones eyes happy.

Money

Err, i mean Monti

[Jennie Ann]

What happened to my green?

Well, now we'll have to come up with some blues. Rock me, baby: BLUES, BLUES, BLUES!
