Maybe Eliza is bisexual.
When I posed the “Who would you switch for?” question in my blog I was told that the question was unfair to anyone who was bi, so I let them pick one of each.
(Yes, Angelina is a given. My non-Angelina choice is Alyson Hannigan)

Damn it wheres TD-0013? I had to listen to these “bumper” guys for a full hour and half. sheesh.
March 1st, 2006 at 9:34 am
Yeah, I will not drink another alcoholic beverage until I get more TD-0013.
Viva….la revolution.

Damn skippy-we want the man who fears the “Man in Black” and will accept no substitutes!
March 1st, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Dilithium-crystal beer coasters, captain! We miss you Scotty.
March 1st, 2006 at 6:10 pm
First, TD-0013 Rocks I miss his segment. Where is he?
Second, What’s Mark talking about, the downloading info right into your brain isn’t something that came from the Matrix, they stole it from Ghost in the Shell. The only thing they did different was you became a Kung-Fu master (which was so lame) The Matrix isn’t even an original movie they stole so much from so many other movies. Only thing that was original was the FXs.
Keanu and the Wachowski Bothers Sucks!
March 1st, 2006 at 6:32 pm
So I’m 14 and watching ‘Galaxy of Terror’ and my dad got bored and left. My brother got bored and left. My step-mom got bored and left. Then a chick gets all her clothes sucked off by a giant maggot thingy, she gets all greased up and rides the thing like a wild pony.
Oh, you did say you wanted to know our first cinematic ‘exposure’, right.
That was in the days when you could only get HBO on your massive satellite dish.
Can people please stop calling in about the brokeback edition of Wingin’ It? Please. Let’s post more pictures of painted boobies.
Anyway…
Neo is an anagram of ‘One’
So is Evo an anagram of Veo?
Coincidence? I think not…
March 1st, 2006 at 8:28 pm
Hey we’re trying to kill the brokeback thing.
Send in more sex VM’s. ;-0
That was cool…
March 1st, 2006 at 9:14 pm
So sorry, but the new cool thing to say is “Damn Skippy”. All of you who say “SoAP” or even those who still insist on last century’s “Airewolfe” are going to be left behind with all the old Magnum P.I. clips.
Did I mention that the BeerMaster will be releasing the new beers to drink soon? Damn Skippy!
March 1st, 2006 at 10:15 pm
Like Karen from Kalifornia makes me sweat in spots I didn’t even know I had, damn skippy!

Ads: I don’t have too much of a problem with them. Since I listen to a lost of Podshow things, I hear the Earthlink stuff once an episode (there is something seriously wrong with Steve Gilmore’s though. The audio on the ad sounds slower, and a bit lower in tone.) Just keep them short and relevant, ‘kay?
Scammers: I did run into one on Skype chat. Never did reply to me after I figured it out and told him so.
Drinking: Ow, almost reminds me of show 46 in all the cues.
I do have a unused Brita filter, just wondering what shipping would be…
Feeds: Just tried rssmix, problem cropped up saying the feeds weren’t valid. Almost tempted to separate the feeds on my end and be done with it. How much longer will the Mondo stay around for?
Chinese segment: Just as good as the Signal’s version (though much more practical).
Matchmaking: Goddamn. Just how was this put together? And who picked Butterfly? Hundreds of Bemani tunes, and ya pick that, something wrong there…
Also: Did some googling… found something for full contact monopoly… Still can’t find rules though (sounds shiny regardless!).

Well the “downloading information into your brain” may not have come originally from the Matrix, but a reference to the Matrix and the “K-man” is what makes it funny.
March 2nd, 2006 at 7:34 am
While any Keanu reference is funny, credit shouldn’t be given to that movie for downloading info right into your brain. Also any ideas that were taken from Ghost in the Shell should be fully recognized.
Give credit where its due and don’t give credit to someone who ripped the idea off.
March 2nd, 2006 at 8:12 am
Woah ripped off is a very strong statement. Movies and TV borrow and homage other works all the time.
March 2nd, 2006 at 8:49 am
OMFG. Jimmy is hysterical. Do NOT buy anything from him. We want to make sure he keeps calling back.
As for pronunciation… well, who cares? You aren’t trying to speak that particular language. In Canada, we say “Mercy Buh-cups” just to annoy French Canadians. ;>
March 2nd, 2006 at 9:52 am
Hey, guys!
I’m cool with the ads. Anything to make this your full time gig, I’m good with it…
And any advice you can give me to follow suit, let me know! ;^)
March 2nd, 2006 at 10:00 am
Damn.
Looks like I picked a bad day to *start* drinking at the office.
I’m gonna go make out with someone, call an ex-girlfriend, and pass out in the break room.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:21 pm
Screw britta filters, you need a high class product:

Watch the commercial, funny stuff.
OOOO! The unibrau beers could have gotten me a woman (if I wasn’t married) last night. I met a girl from Ontario and was stoked I knew about La Fin Du Monde…she asked if I was going to give her my number.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:06 pm
Jeremy–behold the power of deep beer knowledge; yes folks, it can actually get you laid! More potentially sex-inducing beer tidbits will be available on my Speaking of Beer podcast, rampng up to a poodcatcher near you!
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:15 pm
…er..that’s “podcatcher”…BAD beer! BAD!
March 3rd, 2006 at 6:30 am
Heh heh.
You said poo catcher.

*joke spoiler alert*
I think Jimmy’s onto something. . . Bruce Campbell and Angela Lansbury should begin work right away on the “Bedknobs & Boomsticks” project. That was f#*king clever.
March 3rd, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Yeah, I screwed up on the RSSmix thing. I thought supporting RSS 2.0 meant enclosure support. To make up for the boner, here’s the link to the full Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

Sorry, people. I’m a dumbass.
March 3rd, 2006 at 5:12 pm
Not to jump all over Mike’s insistence that Ghost in the Shell started the whole downloading info into the brain thing, but I’m pretty sure that William Gibson’s use of same in several stories pre-dates GiTS by at least 3-4 years.
I can’t say why he’s missing that it’s fun to keep mentioning K-man and the Matrix because you can just see Evo’s panties twisting with each new mention
March 3rd, 2006 at 9:23 pm
I can’t think of the name of the story right now, but Asimov had a story in which the brain was scanned and what “skill” you would be best at was “downloaded” into your skull. The story had a nice twist of the main kid wasn’t programmed with any skill because he had the brains to be a historian.
March 3rd, 2006 at 10:01 pm
Now that you mention it, Fred, there was an Outer Limits episode where no one had to learn anything… they just had to access a central computer whenever they wanted to know something.
There was this one person whose brain couldn’t accomodate a link, and I can’t remember much of the rest of the story, except that for some reason the central system didn’t want this kid finding and using a library.
That show also pre-dates Ghost in the Shell.

Guys,
On the ads: that’s what the fast forward is for. I have no problem with the ads.
Here is a web site that does custom coasters, http://www.coasters-direct.com/. It is a bit pricer than you were talking about, about $1150 for 10k. That is for 3.5″ coasters with 4 colors on front and zero colors on the back.
Love the show.
March 5th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
Yes! 419 baitingplease start recording the 419 calls. That would make a perfect segment for Winging It.
