Hey, just wanted to announce that the DotF Final Round episode is recorded.
Your feedback is still welcome at: duelofthefates@gmail.com
, but at this point, it would take a lot to get your comment read during the podcast.
Godzilla vs. Spider-Man - all will be settled next week.
Hey Mike, when do your gardeners get their own podcast?
August 10th, 2005 at 2:40 pm
Sorry guys, but I am joining Summer’s cult once it has been established.
Maybe you can bribe the yard guys with beer next time?
Congrats on your BIG WIN!

and I thought Mur with the snoring dog was funny!
Hey Joe, when you gonna review Sky High?
Hey Michael Aremennegay, when are you going to read again? Push Evo outta da way and read man! read.
Hey Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas, I’ve tracked down picks of Yoda…er.. Evo and Mike, where are your pics?
Vampires in Wal*Mart? Wasn’t that One Hour Photo?

Hi, The movie that had Natalie Portman (Padme) living in a Wal-Mart was called ‘Where the Heart is.’ She did not live in the Wal-Mart 24/7, just slept there at night until the baby was born. It also had Ashley Judd in it. I remember this because it was one of the few movies with Ashley Judd where she did not get naked.
I am surprised Evo did not know this. The movie was set in Oklahoma.

A particularly crazy show. More beer! How do you guys feel about Bass Ale? A nice Black and Tan always lubricates good conversation for me.
How come there are pictures of everyone but Summer in the “about” section? How can we start a cult without a centerpiece for our altars?
I am starting on the Vampire of Wal-Mart story now. I have the perfect plot.
Keep up the good work!

Both the Shadow and the Phantom had rings, which is probably where some of the confusion came in.
The Shadow, as ya’ll said, would give rings to the people he saved, and tell them that he might need their help someday. If he needed them, their rings would change color, and they’d know to expect him.
The Phantom had a skull ring, passed down from father to son. The idea was that he’d punch the bad guy in the face, and folks could see the imprint on the face and know the Phantom had whupped up on him.

Randy,
Sorry, but I make it a point to avoid all movies set in the wretched state of OK unless they contain naked people.
August 11th, 2005 at 10:24 am
Rick,
in the comic strip, Phantom actually had two rings; one was a skull that he marked the bad guys with, and another ring that used to mark places that were under his protection.
I thought that was kinda cool.

I made an attempt to contact Pingo to see if he wanted to start a podcast, but I was unable to locate him. (What does ‘Federally’ mean anyway?)
However, I’m sure the lawn blowers will be back for a repeat performance on a future show.
We might have to have a contest around it, or something…
August 12th, 2005 at 8:32 am
Well, “Federally” means of the federal government, as in “a federally controlled system” or “a list of federally recognized tribes”.
It also signifies that someone who has a difficult time both pronouncing and spelling in his own native language likely should not attempt the same in a foreign one. “Federale” is the word you were looking for, punta gringo.

Hey guys another great show. Congratz on winning the award for Slice of SciFi. Your shows get better and better everytime I listen to them. So when will the Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas get their own show?
August 12th, 2005 at 1:04 pm
Dezz,
I’m not promising anything anytime real real soon, but keep your eye on kickassmysticninjas.com

Mr. Mangan (duel of the fates creator)
I am waiting patiently to present to you a gift. Please give me an email address that I may send this to.

Now that is one wicked cool story line.
An agoraphobic (fear of crowds - acrophobia is heights, terraphobiconfiphobia is the fear of Evo’s extreme overconfident statements about what phobias are called what) vampire who’s cursed to remain in a space that becomes a WalMart (Or S-Mart, I envision Bruce Campbell involved somehow) who has to be saved by some local virgin… You’ve got the opportunity for a good, dark ending where the virgin gets vampira-ed, or you could have Bruce Campbell “save” the virgin through deflowering…
I see it as more of a dark horror comedy (but I’m sure Mur knows what to call it) where you get some good “vampire covered in sunscreen and wearing shades” skits, welcoming people to the store, stocking kids toys or electronics (fish out of tech water kind of thing) … really bad comedy stuff is running through my head right now. I’m sure someone with some skill is gonna have a hell of a time doing this.
