[clapping] Awesome! I hope it’s on Hulu, since I am another person without a TV. Just in case tho, I’ll have my buddy DVR it for me. [/clapping] ---

> [@](#): > > So what kind of coin does a gig like this bring in if you don’t mind me asking? as I posted above, a free trip to NYC, a cheeseburger, and cabfare home. And is there any other way I’d get this?: > [@](#): > > Will there be nudie scenes? Besides this, they just told me that I get a DVD of my episode (Whee!) What I’m really hoping is that the added publicity will help push the sales enough so that I’m finally in the black. It’s be nice if Oxford was finally able to see a profit out of this. **Shirley** , I don’t know about whrther there are any nude scenes of the CGI creatures. (For what it’s worth, Ray Harryhausen’s Medusa was topless in **Clash of the Titans** ) as far as I know, none of the interviewed Experts were nude. This is probably a Good Thing. But if you’re interested, maybe we can arrange something. ---

I’ll be damned. I thought you were just that guy who’s an expert on This Island Earth…which is not an expertise that usually gets parlayed into meaningful employment. I love it when Dopers turn out to be quasi-famous. ---
