Promos: Speaking of Beer

Evo,
Given your Australian audience, and your ‘candy pusher’ (ie Violet Crumbles), the term you were looking for is ‘piss’
To use it in a sentence please feel free to use the following:
For a large quantity of ‘unused’ alcoholic beverages that you are observing:
“Jeez, that’s a lot of piss”.
Upon the initial consumption of aforementioned beverages:
“Ok, let’s have a pissup”.
When a member of the ‘pissup’ feels he/she has had enough and needs to call a cab, the following should be used:
“I’m real pissed. I gotta go home”
I should note that being ‘pissed’ is a little different in the US than Australia, so care should probably be taken in that last usage - especially if you have some guy full of rum in the corner who’s getting surly.

Good morning Dragon Page (I am at work WAY too early this morning, thank the gods I have Wingin It to listen to)
I have been meaning to comment to you that I love that you have split the shows into regular show and then voicemail show. Now we can spend our whole week in Dragon page heaven!
Also, I wanted to comment on Mikes last comment to me in the Cover to Cover board and felt it was more appropriate here:
No I would never challenge Karen’s friend to a rack off. For one, I love Karen and would hate to piss her off. For two, the surgically enhanced racks don’t give in to gravity as much as the real ones do- so she would probably win! But I do usually impress people with my ample cleavage- I get alot of attention at the bars when I wear my low-cut tops (much to my husbands chagrin!). Maybe if you are nice I will send you a picture.

From Michael’s desk:
*Note to self — Be really, REALLY, nice to Andrea.*

I’m waiting for the next spin off. - The Dragon Page - Hooter to Hooter. Or maybe. the Dragon Page - Boobin’ it.
Or maybe just
We Like Boobies.
But seriously, who doesn’t?
March 29th, 2006 at 9:02 am
Andrea, there is always the Frapper Map….you can post, you know, whatever you’d like to share…
March 29th, 2006 at 9:29 am
Gonna assume 2 things-
1. Robert G. Parent is dead or in hiding due to the afore afore mentioned plagiarism charges.
Wait thats just one thing assumed. Oops! Ass outta U and me!
Were you peeps seriously talking WEATHER on your show. Sweet Jesus, for the first time Im offended.
March 29th, 2006 at 10:07 am
Robert G’s name has been cleared of all charges.
Computer king just trumped him with the last two submissions.
Robert will be back on soon.
March 29th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Praise the baby Jesus! Glad to hear Bobby G.’s good name has been cleared. Cmon now Bobby! Gimmie some o’ dat geek wisdom I find so goddam inspirational!!!

I like a good haiku, but most other poetry…eh.
March 29th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
Thanks for playing the first 2 poems I’ve written since I was an angsty Teen (Damn, over 15 years ago). I won’t have anything in this week, because I’m moving. So I’m going to be conspicuously absent until the moving and the unpacking are done.
I can’t wait to hear Summer’s poem. Hell, I just like to hear her voice. Maybe I’ll write a poem and request she read it:)
March 29th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
Haikus are good yes
Jeremy from Seattle
Bad poetry, life
March 29th, 2006 at 1:24 pm
Jesus Christ I spelled my own fucking name wrong.
Sad really…
March 29th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
I think those kinds of occurences are not rare with this buch, Alvie. It has nothing to do with mental capacity, really, more of cognitive impairment through chemistry type thing.
March 29th, 2006 at 2:23 pm
okay I added myself (plus picture) to the frappr map. I am in Chicago and my name is andrealatina1973. Let me know what you all think
March 29th, 2006 at 2:33 pm
Thank you Phil. Thank you very much. I appreciate the words. I agree with “cognitive impairment through chemistry type thing” idea. It also could have been the Vanilla Schnapps before 8am. Screw Wheaties, Dr. Mcgillicutty is my breakfast champion…

Have a Marvy Day!

So, is this a good time for me to re-pimp the Cult of Summer?
http://cultofsummer.com/
Things died down a bit in February, but I have a feeling that with this week’s voicemail show, things might pick up a bit
March 29th, 2006 at 5:07 pm
Is it a bad thing if I’m drunkenly singing along with the “first drink of the day” bit? Drinking game here I come…
March 29th, 2006 at 6:02 pm
My inner geek is swelling with pride.
I suddenly have a craving for bad, cheap food (BurgerBell) and all night gaming sessions.
Mur is my hero.
All hair Mur and her Geek Declaration!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to rewind and enjoy…
March 29th, 2006 at 6:54 pm
Funny you guys should talk about amending the rules in the near future; I’d thought, not long after Mike told me he’d run the review spot, that I should have had a comment along the lines of “needs more playtesting… so pass me a bottle and let’s get started.”
Ah, missed opportunities!
March 29th, 2006 at 10:28 pm
All Drinking Game Rules will be decided by the Crew of the Dragon Page. However should you wish to make a comment, go to dragonpagefanmembers.com
Darn, what a wonderful way to spend your time.
March 30th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
That url hasn’t quite propogated yet, if it’s a new one, but I did join the Yahoo Group even before posting here.
And I hope it didn’t seem like we were ragging on the Game; I just liked the surrealism of reviewing a drinking game, and most of all, we wanted to make people drink. A lot.
March 30th, 2006 at 4:30 pm
Oops sorry, that’s http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dragonpagefans/
Guess I’m just getting in form for the weekly testing of my liver. Stone Pale Ale this week!
Oh, and I had a Blue Moon last night with a slice of orange. If I can’t have the man, at least I can drink his favorite beer and dream about him.
March 30th, 2006 at 5:15 pm
Gee, to thunk I started something with last week’s comment regarding the weather…

First, I think Jack should start the numbering of his podcast with sqrt( -1 ), since he’s a complex kinda guy. ;P
Second, the podcast starts with Evo apologizing??? WTF? Dude, did you bump your head? This is not the meglomaniac we have all come to love.
Great podcast. Keep up the good work.
