It’s 2am here on the west coast and I have a confession.
I work nights and tend to log on to the site around midnight, as the podcast(s) tend to get released around that time, and the work load gets pretty thin - given all normal people are ‘in their bunk’ - and actually sleeping.
No Wingin’It! I checked around and saw KAMN has an ‘issue’, and immediately thought - oh no.. Mike’s gone and beer fouled right over the computer, and both episodes have gone up in a steam of boiling circuitry and alcohol!
It’s a worry that my sense of relief was so profound to see this one finally listed….
… and I don’t even play the drinking game.
I only mention this as Wil Wheaton reports he cut his thumb to the bone via a nasty garbage packing incident, via his own blog, and my first thought was, “Wow, that sucks… maybe he’ll podcast more now, as he can’t type right”.
Am I selfish, or have I finally faced the mirror and found myself a podcast-aholic.

I am never sure how one actaually manages to contribute stuff which you guys might be interested in. So, other than saying good show as usual, I will put it here.
This is a ad for Toohey’s beer in AUstralia. The beer is crap, but the ad is a classic.

Ah cool. Thanks Greg. I found a downloadable version which actually allows you to see whats happening. Will give it to Mike.
April 12th, 2006 at 7:54 am
Mike, while its true outlawing clothing would eventually make for better bodies on most peeps, I shudder to think what the transitional period would look like.
***shudder***
April 12th, 2006 at 8:51 am
My first drink of the day is a…Mocha!!! I’m so wasted at work…heh.
April 12th, 2006 at 9:05 am
Mike was pWned by Jimmy!
April 12th, 2006 at 10:21 am
the new music has given me an idea for one of those bumper “The dragon page…” things.
April 12th, 2006 at 10:39 am
Hee hee. Great show as usual! Summer, thanks again for the last minute pimping for my coming segment!
April 12th, 2006 at 11:22 am

Please, for my eyes sake, I really don’t want to see you naked Evo. If you manage to get clothing outlawed, only allow people with their plactic bodies go outside. Me and my pasty white self can watch from the window.
Hey Joe, how about J.R. Murphy? or whatever you initials are. You’ve got Michael R. Mennenga (M.R. Mennenga) Come on, join the initial revolution. Names are revolting, initialize!
Hey, how come we’ve only got a guy with his iPod in the bathroom? Are guys on the only ones who listen in the bathroom? Come on!
April 12th, 2006 at 5:55 pm
JM-nick name. Hmm-Joe D’Murph? For everyone else on the planet-Tee(your name) Morris. For MRM-nice little intro mix there. Loads of pseudo-orgasmic wonder just like…. ah, I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

Battle of the boobies-Michael Mennegasia, Jimmy(the slut) from Denver, T-Bo Morrisson, and Jack Magnum. Now that’s what I call Hooters for the hopeless. Glad Evo is honest that he doesn’t go to Hooters for the eats, but the treats. Evo I am a breast man like you when it comes to chicken, but I like the hind parts when it comes to.. oh gosh, talkin too much on the interwebs again.
If I come to pool party in my thong me and Murph the Surf are gonna have to due battle in our matching inner tubes with Mike’s bird as the trophy. No need to cook, KfK willhandle the bird for me.

Joseph I. Roth?
And as for sobriety tests how about the following phrases said three times fast:

I find that a kareoke machine as far more accurate than any other sobriety test.
“Sir, please sing into this mic.”
“WHOOOOOOOOOA WE’RE HALF WAY THERE..WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA LIVIN’ ON PRAYER!”
“Definitely drunk.”
….not that I’ve ever sang-spoke-mumbled my way through, say, Sympathy for the Devil in a questionable state of mind. Times like that - you thank the baby jesus for blessing you with a good butt and shake it.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:59 am
You leave the sweet baby Jesus out of this.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:09 am
Ha ha ha. Well, if you put it like that, I can do nothing but comply.
April 13th, 2006 at 11:25 am
Great! Im sure the baby Jesus has a special place on high for you Phil. RRRRRReally high…
April 13th, 2006 at 11:57 am
I’m on the fence as to wether or not I want to hear Joe and Evo sing a Kareoke duet of Islands in the Stream.
*shudder*
Think happy thoughts. Happy thoughts. Happy…
Now Karen! Where’s the KfK podcast? We’ve got our Dead Pan podcast.
April 13th, 2006 at 12:00 pm
Ha ha! I don’t know, I think I’d pay admission, so long as they’ve got their arms draped over one-another, and in between verses are saying “I love you man.” “No. I love you man.”
April 13th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Poor poor Joe. Always getting shat on when he never does anything.
I mean… poor Reginald Joeblonski. Always getting shat on…
April 13th, 2006 at 12:19 pm
My Fantasy Duet: Tee Morris and Evo Terra singing “Man, I Feel Like A Woman”.
This conjures up images that would send anyone to their bunk. Even better, Evo is wearing the Leopard print bra and thong, and Tee is in tights and doublet. I’m feeling just a little hot flash coming on…must cool down…
Joe, there is only one name for you. Rock Rogers.
April 13th, 2006 at 3:36 pm
Joes new name.
Joe Walker other wise known as… J Walker
April 13th, 2006 at 4:31 pm
Okay, assholes, now you’re fucked.
The Sandman cometh…
April 13th, 2006 at 4:46 pm
Well, it’s about time you turned up again.
April 13th, 2006 at 5:04 pm
Alright the man in white has returned.
You better have a good reason soldier.
April 13th, 2006 at 5:36 pm
Great TD is back! Don’t worry about that smart ass ewok on the microphone Trooper 0013, I already took care of him with Mary and her 4 sisters. Now I need to find Evo for corresponding high-five. Who needs “School of Rock” when we have Phil Rossi-know what I’m sayin? Snakes on a mofo telecaster.
April 13th, 2006 at 5:48 pm
TD!!!!!!!
Where the hell have you been. An Ewok has called you out- you must respond.
April 13th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
What’s sad is that it TOOK a furry fucknut to bring TD back.
After all the shit thats been thrown your way?
Damn I feel sorry for that little fuzzy ball of ass.
April 13th, 2006 at 10:23 pm
Cool show!
You guys rag on Battlefield Earth quite a bit, granted it was a sci-fi movie for people who don’t watch sci-fi, but you can atleast sit through the whole movie. Now, the Wing Commander movie sucked enough that I stopped watching. And for the travesty that was the TWO fraking pieces of shit videos that was Gor book adapations, someone hunted down and scourged.
How’s this for names for Joe.

Wow…Not even TD’s free I-pod could bring him out…it tooka fraking Furry!
April 14th, 2006 at 5:57 am
lol . . . a rodent pissed on the AWOL idjit’s armor, so he finally takes it upon himself to return fire. And all he was doin’ was tryin’ to clean the dust off his lazy hide, what’s wrong about that?
April 14th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
First off, I am SO sorry to not be around 24/7 to jump through the hoops and perform like a fucking monkey for you all. Shame on me.
I recently had a good friend of mine in the UK die from a brain tumor, so you’ll excuse me if I’m not all that jovial, and that I’ve had the audacity to take some time for myself to come to terms with this event in my life.
People die. All of us have lost someone, and I understand that, but each of us deals with it in thier own way, at varying degrees, depending on the closeness of the relationship with the one you’ve lost. I’m not asking for special treatment, and honestly, I don’t want your sympathy over this.
Also, my coming back has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Ewok thing, the TIE Pilot thing, or the Cylon thing. The timing is simply because I felt it was time.
Just let it be known that the reasons I haven’t been around were personal, and not something I was willing to discuss, until now. Someone I cared about died.
I hope that’s a good excuse for you all.
R and Karen…. You will both be repaid for your kindness. I have not forgotten.
TD-0013
April 14th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
Well thirteen, I’ll spare you the sympathy you don’t want, but I will say - Welcome back. We missed you.
April 14th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
well dont I feel like an ass. Im sorry that I was one. Didnt mean to push buttons. I totaly wasnt thinking of that possiblity.
April 14th, 2006 at 7:12 pm
Yeah TD welcome back. Its good to see you! Your my favorite storm trooper.
April 14th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
Hey guys–notice that we’re pushing 50 comments? The record is 62, not that anyone’s counting, or that comments for their own sake are interesting. I’m just saying….
April 14th, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Yeah you know what TD, Im sorry for your loss but dont piss on us for not being in the know. We’ve all had someone die. My father was fucking taken from me way too early. Its not our fault for giving you the good natured ribbing we’re used to. We shouldnt feel like asses because we were’nt being asses. We were simply ignorant of your situation.
Be it known we didnt want you to “jump through the hoops and perform like a fucking monkey” for us. We just wanted our TD back. If thats a fucking crime then blast us.
Again, sorry for your loss.
April 14th, 2006 at 8:42 pm
Consider it done.
April 14th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
First, TD0013: In no way, shape, or form was my “Final POV” meant to do anything other than to get you on a TD Rant. (”Cylons!? You’re in the wrong (bleep)-ing franchise, you mooks!!!” or something along those lines…) I wasn’t picking up any supposed slack, but just poking a bit of fun at ADPOV and the spinoffs spawned from it. I was hoping it either made you laugh, or earn that “look” I remember from CopperCon with the added headshake of frustration. So please, do not look at my segment as anything but that…an inspired spinoff.
Second, everyone else: Those of us who provide content do so because we’re inspired. If one of us disappears for a spell, yeah, it’s disappointing; but a leave of absence should only make us appreciate new material all the more. Mike and Evo are allowed to bust our humps because it’s their show, their rules. The rest of us shouldn’t complain. Our beloved trooper takes a break. We deal. We don’t ball bust him for it. Let’s give TD some breathing room. When he comes back, he comes back.
“And brother, *phht* when he comes back *phht* it’s going to be with a vengeance!” *phhht*
Finally, back to TD: I understand your pain. An extremely special person in my life is in Stage 4 of breast cancer. She’s got a hell of a story (http://www.lisawillsurvive.com) and has been fighting this from Day 1. I do understand, TD, and you’ve got my heart-felt sympathies. Stay strong…
…and if no one’s mentioned it, thanks again for your service in the MS Walk.
Welcome back, man.
April 14th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
Thanks, Mark for the chat info.
Welcome back, TD! You were missed!
April 15th, 2006 at 6:30 am
TD-0013 hang in there bro. Partying with you was on of the highlights of my DracoVista visit. Look foreward to more ADPV’s, funny annecdotes and laughs when the “Man in Black” moves yah. Till then I’m covering your back here in Taiwan and watching out for one-eyed boxing snakes…
April 15th, 2006 at 9:54 am
TD-0013, I have lived through it and so can you. My children’s father was diagnosed in 1996 with Key-1 Lymphoma. When they operated on him, the cancer had invaded his lymphotic system so much, the nodes had liquified.
I spent the next 9 weeks living at the hospital in a camp bed. I would drive to my sister-in-law’s home at 4:00 in the morning to take my children to school, be at work at 6, and make the return trip at 6:00 PM to the hospital to sleep next to him for possibly the last time.
I was told that he had less than a 15% chance of survival.
It became unbearable to endure to awful sympathy and pity from my friends and family. It wasn’t unappreciated, but it grated on my nerves. You can only hear “He’s too young” so many times before nausea sets in.
I hope you understand that I was worried, because I care about those who touch my life, and I don’t want to lose them.
Welcome back
April 15th, 2006 at 5:45 pm
Many condolences, TD. Quite simply, you were missed, and glad you’re back.
April 15th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
I don’t think they were trying to be assholes. Quite the opposite, they were trying to be friends. Odd from a bunch of folks you don’t know, I guess, but maybe that’s fame.
Clearly you were missed, TD, welcome back.
