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.

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.

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.

Darn, what a wonderful way to spend your time.

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!

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…

Is it a bad thing if I’m drunkenly singing along with the “first drink of the day” bit? Drinking game here I come…

So, is this a good time for me to re-pimp the Cult of Summer?

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

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…

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.

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:)

Computer king just trumped him with the last two submissions.

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.

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.
