Thus far the biggest disappointment of the Writers Guild strike has not been the lack of Leno, but the really lame signs these scribes are carrying on the picket lines and the lack of galvanizing chants. If you are trying to convince your networks you are indispensible, a sign that reads "ON STRIKE" does not cut the mustard.

We turned to Annie O'Rourke, copywriter at the New York advertising firm Dimassimo Goldstein, for her suggested chants and signs. (We'll take yours in the comments, please.)

  • Like hands picking our pockets, so are the networks in our lives
  • Kiss our trendy glasses
  • How's this for your moment of Zen?
  • Live from New York, it's time to fight
  • No Top Ten when we put down the pen
  • 'The Office' is closed
  • We will write when you aren't wrong

And Annie's favorite—

  • A blank sign
