I know why the scifi channel think wrestling is a geek thing - it’s in Spiderman. Spiderman is a Sci-fi flick. QED.
May 31st, 2006 at 6:48 am
Did the SciFi channel ever think hey maybe if we carried really good SciFi shows/movies we would have more ratings instead of going in a direction that is not SciFi at all? Damn you Jack Mangan!!!
Jimmy- you almost made me have an accident this morning
I cant believe Joe is not sticking with Mason Rocket. I liked that name
Finally Ian shields needs to be on the show every week. I have decided this, make it so. That sweet melodic Scottish tone…..mmmmm…made my morning
May 31st, 2006 at 7:09 am
Once again, Mur - you’re my hero.
Hell hath no fury like a gamer scorned.
May 31st, 2006 at 7:37 am
Andrea - pee pants accident or driving accident?
May 31st, 2006 at 7:37 am
Andrea you beat me to the punch — before my (stupid fucking piece of shit) wireless internet pooped out on me, i was going to post
Ian, you can talk to me for as long as you want.
*swoon* all the sexy foreign male voices make me all tingly…
All the foreign guys should start their own podcast
They could call it “Hot foreign guys talk about absolutely nothing”
i’d be a loyal listener.
Sci-fi channel wise — ive give out those two numbers to at least a dozen people over this past weekend, and told them to call and take their frustrations out on the voicemails of busy Sci-Fi channel PR people.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:05 am
Alvie, a driving accident. Hee hee, although it also was almost tea through the nose.
Sarah I so agree. I totally would listen to that podcast every single day over and over. I think my favorite part of Ians call was when he said “dont take it personally” the way he said personally gave me shivers. I have to admit I listened to it twice. God I love the Scottish thing….mmmm Sean Connery. I need to get him on Skype I think
ask him to read to me or something.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:11 am
wait wait wait… Sarah, how about if they read the Kama Sutra?
May 31st, 2006 at 8:12 am
shite, he could read me the dictionary and i’d be happy…
i really need to get on Skype, dont i? I think i am the last person left around here who doesnt have a skype account. i suppose im just lazy becuase my computer at work is from 1998, and that’s where i am most of the time.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:15 am
i posted that before i saw the Kama Sutra post..
and i think that definately tears it. Ian, you ARE going to read the Kama Sutra to Andrea and I.
no ifs, and’s or but’s
May 31st, 2006 at 8:27 am
Curse my Colorado accent. Why, oh why, was I not born a Scottsman?
Theres a song in there somewhere.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:30 am
Yes yes, it shall be done. So say we all. Jeez maybe he could just say our names over and over… that would be enough for me. Sarah you need to get on Skype so that we can arrange this.
Ian? are you game? and in return I could to you dirty in spanish. Thats all I have, I didn’t get a good accent
May 31st, 2006 at 8:35 am
Shit I really need to get to work but one more thought…I have Australia Phils Skype name now, if we had Ian’s, and Sarah if you got onto Skype we could have our own personal “Hot foreign guys talking about nothing Skype chat” or the Kama Sutra….
Ok I need to work now… DAMN YOU IAN!!!!!!!
May 31st, 2006 at 8:36 am
Oh, Ive missed you Robert G. Parent!
Bless you Bobby G.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:40 am
Waiting to post something witty until I am done listening…
May 31st, 2006 at 8:40 am
i can fake a few accents — I had to learn to adapt, from moving around a lot. I grew up around around a lot of Japanese girls — i can do the giggly squealy hentai girl voice…umm.. i live in the south, so, i can definately do the southern belle thing…
uhh… most of the other accents i can do are dirty (in the bad way) and un-ladylike. a thick north eastern US accent doesnt really turn anyone on haha
after this weekend, i will definately get on skype. i need to get a new computer , too tho…
May 31st, 2006 at 8:42 am
*sigh* why does Ian hate me?
May 31st, 2006 at 9:09 am
This is my current favorite accent:
“Ah, Has Brix…yer bustin my Bars, seriousry.”
May 31st, 2006 at 9:10 am
Sexy non-American accented male voices, chatting amongst themselves or about nothing in particular.
Best. Podcast. Idea. Ever.
My list of favorites in order: Scottish and Irish, Australian, New Zealand, English, Spanish, Italian.
May 31st, 2006 at 9:25 am
Summer- I dont think I can put them in order… I would just like the podcast to have 1 of each.
Sarah- yeah and I am plagued with a midwestern accent… that is worse I think. I actually do enjoy a good New Jersey/New Yorker too
May 31st, 2006 at 9:37 am
yeah in a guy, its great
I met this really REALLY hot bartender from Boston… *swoon* a few weeks ago, and i didnt pursue it — i guess i was just shy that day or soemthing…. and now i really regret it…
I think any accent is great tho — i dont think i could put them in order either
May 31st, 2006 at 10:55 am
So I guess Jeremy never came up with any witty comments
May 31st, 2006 at 10:58 am
I realized I was so wrapped into chat during the live feed I missed half the show.
May 31st, 2006 at 11:09 am
Too busy to be witty. Seriousry, Andrea, yer bustin’ my balls.”
May 31st, 2006 at 11:20 am
Having a hard time imagining why Mike would know how tight a fit pantyhose are.
May 31st, 2006 at 11:27 am
Seriously, M and E need to invite Sean back. Talk about sexy voices…whoo. Just please tell me he spells his name the right way. Nothing worse than a guy who spells his name like a chick.
May 31st, 2006 at 11:27 am
Sorry Jeremy- I am a combination of exhausted and pumped on caffeine- please forgive me.
May 31st, 2006 at 11:28 am
WOAH!!!
I’ve only been involved in Wingin’ It for a few months now but I suppose we could get something going.
Already planning a little something with Eliza, Dani and Karen which I think the ladies will totally enjoy. If anyone above see this, keep it a secret as it is best left to the moment
Ian
May 31st, 2006 at 11:44 am
“Already planning a little something with Eliza, Dani and Karen which I think the ladies will totally enjoy.”
You just made every guy jealous.
May 31st, 2006 at 11:49 am
“Already planning a little something with Eliza, Dani and Karen which I think the ladies will totally enjoy.�
You just made every guy jealous.
and I feel left out
Well I dont have the dulcet tones of those fine ladies, I understand
May 31st, 2006 at 12:03 pm
I forgot to add, that the only way to make that statement more salacious would be to throw Andrea into the mix.
And there’s nothing wrong with your tones, honey.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:07 pm
Now that you mention it, Andrea hit me up at the Wingin’ It Forums and we can see what we can come up with
May 31st, 2006 at 12:09 pm
Never feel left out, Andrea. I’m sure that there are many who would gladly stand at attention and give you the grand salutation of respect and admiration. Hmmm…this gives me an idea.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:11 pm
awww– I feel so loved!
May 31st, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Is there someway I can have a Scottish accent surgically implanted????
May 31st, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Unfortunately not
Us Scotsman are a special kind of people and all women seem to love us, apart from those who live in Scotland
Andrea, are you interested?
May 31st, 2006 at 12:19 pm
Damn. I’ll just have to speak in Italian then….
May 31st, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Ian , I sent you an email through the forums
Ditto if you speak Italian why would you want a Scottish accent? I am half Italian myself, I speak very little Italian. i can get by in Italy with my spanish. Italians are sexy dammit!
May 31st, 2006 at 12:41 pm
Alvie some how in my advanced stages of blog comment retardation I neglected to respond to your Mothra comments. So to make ammends i offer this fine piece of 2 crazed Japanese geek wenches paying homage in song: http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/The_Peanuts_-_Mothra_Song.mp3
May 31st, 2006 at 12:43 pm
Ahh a natural predator trying to steal my thunder
I’m sure the day will come when women will bow down at your feet, Ditto
Andrea & everyother women who reads this; it was a joke!
May 31st, 2006 at 12:48 pm
lmao
Andrea, to quote Summer, “My list of favorites in order: Scottish and Irish, Australian, New Zealand, English, Spanish, Italian.”
It doesn’t hurt to have… multiple talents.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:52 pm
Oh, and in reply to Evo’s comment about the crazy forums… I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:54 pm
Dang, the women have taken over the WI forum! We need some balancing force to put things right. Enormous, Philip, can you get Kylie Minogue to call into Wingin It? Then us U.S. fellows can go on about women with a sexy foreign accent.
May 31st, 2006 at 12:54 pm
cute, yes of course Ditto will have women bow at his feet, he’s an Italian male, they are used to that. You dont need any other talents than that. Shit why do you think so many women find Tony Soprano sexy. The guy is not really sexy, its the Italian than makes him sexy.
May 31st, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Here’s a quick little story from New York…
I was there for an international gay rugby tournament. Also in our hotel (in addition to the 800 or so rugby players) were a bunch of gay cowboys there for a gay line dancing con or something.
So me and a teammate (both straight and married) are going out and these 2 cowboys and a girl (gasp!) get on the elevator. She say something about too many gay men and I say something about 2 straight ones right here…next thing you know she decides to make sure we are straight by grabbing my fan club and rubbing it as we walk down the street, then moves on to my buddy, asking us so if you’re straight, you like this?
I took it in stride as that shit doesn’t really phase me, but my friend was floored. She did it a couple more times and I told her we should get going because we are both married and as much as I was reacting (ie swelling) to her touch it wasn’t a good idea.
Damn my morals.
Then we went to a hotel bar and talked to slightly older than us women with another teammate who was french and single. They loved the fact that I was such a nerd and we had the whole bar wanting in on our conversation when my friend practically yelled out “He just said vaginal configurations!” after listening into my conversation.
Good times. And people wonder why I am on a gay rugby team.
May 31st, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Sometimes it is almost as fun reading all the comments before listening to the show. LOL
May 31st, 2006 at 1:14 pm
Uh.. straight guy on gay rugby team… uh, I’m confused. Is it a gay rugby league, or is there just a high % of gays on the team???
Oh well, it doesn’t matter. It sounds like you have a lot of fun, which is all that matters.
May 31st, 2006 at 1:18 pm
Prodominantly gay.
May 31st, 2006 at 1:22 pm
Jeremy that is such a sexy story- you animal you!! Man that chic wanted to get some eh?
May 31st, 2006 at 1:29 pm
Shit, yeah! She wasn’t unattractive, and hookers don’t do shit like that…I think. I never really ruled out that possibility. But it was still a nice little ego boost after coming in 5th (out of 27) and not 1st.
photos here for Eliza and anyone else: http://www.x-dezyn.com/gallery
May 31st, 2006 at 2:05 pm
Cool pics Jeremy!
While I enjoy watching rugby and Aussie rules football on ESPN 2 whenever it is on, I think I’ll stick to playing volleyball. LOL
May 31st, 2006 at 2:11 pm
OMG. I saw this over at BoingBoing: someone wrote a legal paper on the word fuck. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=896790#PaperDownload
May 31st, 2006 at 2:15 pm
Wait Jeremy, you came in 5th out of 27 with the girl in the elevator? Or in the rugby tourney? The latter is very respectable.
No love for Deadpan Jersey accents, huh?
May 31st, 2006 at 2:20 pm
Ah yes, where would we be without higher education? LOL
May 31st, 2006 at 2:25 pm
Choice Comic Book hero geek link: http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/index.blog?entry_id=1491530
May 31st, 2006 at 2:30 pm
I’ve seen that one. LOL It is quite hilarious!
May 31st, 2006 at 2:34 pm
I heart your Deadpan Jersey accent, Jack Mangan.
May 31st, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Hey, I heart it too, but I’d say it’s closer to Indiana Jim’s than Jennifer Lopez.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:04 pm
You guys need to quit hearting eachother, its totally gay. Hey! You should join my gay rugby team!
Oh yeah, Eliza, you will totally love our gay rguby calendar, and its only $5 now! http://www.quakerugby.com I’m in it at the end, but its a team pic, so nothing special. Next year though, next year…
…NAKED TIME!!!
May 31st, 2006 at 3:10 pm
Jersey accents ain’t bad but next to a Scottish or Australian?
Any sexy American accent (Boston, Jersey, NY) when placed next to any European/Australian accent would lose everytime, Im sorry guys.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:14 pm
Karen - Does your idea involve your fan club members?
(Still looking to be a fan club member…)
May 31st, 2006 at 3:19 pm
I’ll pit my conversation skillz0rz against an accent any day.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:36 pm
Yes well in reality it is not just the accent of course. But if judged totally on accent then what I said was true. I think you have a very sexy voice Jeremy
Well kids. I need to go to some stupid ass meeting then I have to go home and pack and leave for a business trip tomorrow in the wee hours of the AM.
Jeremy- email me if you have time to get your geek off tonight…
I will be back for the chat on Saturday and I will have my MacBook with me so I should be able to comment between stupid schmooze the client meetings.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:54 pm
I wll be thinking hard (snicker) about that.
May 31st, 2006 at 3:57 pm
Hee hee…
Karen said Hard
hee hee…
/Beavusandbutthead off
Sorry about that … My son has been at my computer.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:29 pm
Somethings in the air, I have been walking around with a semi all day…
I know that is probably TMI, but I really don’t care!
May 31st, 2006 at 4:40 pm
Yeah, no real surprise there.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:53 pm
Word yo. I been checkin’ a semi automatic all day too yo. Holla to the gangsta in S- town!
Oh, you dont mean a gun, do you…
Well, “gun”…
Nevermind.
May 31st, 2006 at 4:57 pm
10-4 good buddy… Semi right… oops nevermind.
May 31st, 2006 at 5:12 pm
All you guys ever talk about here anymore is sax and violins.
May 31st, 2006 at 5:42 pm
69 goes to Mark Forman everyone!
May 31st, 2006 at 5:58 pm
Hey now, I resemble that statement.
May 31st, 2006 at 7:39 pm
[Janes Addiction]Sects and Violennnnnce! Sects and Violennnnce!![/Janes Addiction]
May 31st, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Sax and violins? And for all these years I thought they were saying sextant valance. Makes much more sense your way.
May 31st, 2006 at 8:42 pm
Yes!
Wait it does?
May 31st, 2006 at 11:00 pm
Jeremy - There is totally some ass grabbing in this picture and that makes me a happy Eliza. You know, for a photo album of a gay rugby team, there’s not nearly enough making out. I’m just sayin’.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:17 am
Hello guys,
I am from Australia and massive SCIFI fan. A friend of mine aka “ENORMOUS” put me onto your podcasts - love your SOSF btw.
I live in the home of Coopers (Adelaide). Good to hear you guys loved some of the beers - Pale is my favourite. Kudos to ENORMOUS for sending the beers to you guys.
Note that for the RED LABEL (COOPERS SPARKLING) is meant to have “floaty” yeast remnants. You are mean to “turn” the beer slowly at a downward angle of 30 degrees before pouring the beer to mix in the yeast - a true Coopers fan knows this.
I will instruct ENORMOUS to show you when he meets you at the Pool Party!
Love the podcast!!!
-Richard
June 1st, 2006 at 12:53 am
After hearing the END of that podcast I aint happy because you guys think Fosters is a great beer - WHAT THE ???
All Aussies know that FOSTERS is the shittiest beer out of Australia. FOSTERS is Aussie BUD!
Its a pity some of you did not like Coopers. Its one of the best beers in Australia in my opinion. I know ENORMOUS is not a big fan, but as its my home town beer - I am biased I guess
Just some facts of how good Coopers is from Coopers website:
“.. Coopers Brewery won a record medal haul at the prestigious International Beer Awards in Melbourne last month taking home 18 medals against intense competition from breweries across the globe.
Coopers Best Extra Stout was named Champion Stout and awarded a gold medal in the International Packaged category.
It also won the International Draught Stout section outright for the second consecutive year while it also took out the International Packaged Stout category outright.
The company’s success will come as no surprise to South Australians, who have been loyally supporting the company since its humble beginnings back in 1862. ”
Hey guys dont “DIS” da Coopers ok!
And dont drink DARK ale before PALE thats just plain DUMB!
… other than that - love the podcast mate!
Richard
June 1st, 2006 at 6:22 am
Alvie, dammit, stop ripping on me! You too, Mark….
haha i’ve gotten ripped on in like half of the comment boards on the Farpoint roster.
Ahh well, see Mangan, this is why you aren’t getting the love.
Oh and, Richard —- Since you are new, we will let it slide….. But from now on know that we require all non-american men to Skype Andrea and I and read your comments aloud. It’s just a rule. So…. next time… it’s demerits!
June 1st, 2006 at 6:40 am
All I want is whirled peas…no more sax and violins. But as for the semi, Jeremy, that’s just what any woman wants to think about. And possibly more than just think….
June 1st, 2006 at 7:15 am
LOL “He made me watch Battlefield Earth…”
Ahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa…
June 1st, 2006 at 7:21 am
Dammit Sarah! Im not!
Please see Jacks show # 8 post for more information.
Never, ever take anything personally. Cause 80% of the time you (you being the figurative you) think that someone is ripping on you, theyre not.
June 1st, 2006 at 7:29 am
I did read it, ALvie, and i said I heart you too, and that its all gravy.
I wasnt taking it personally — i don’t really take anything seriously anyway— its a big problem at weddings and funerals…
June 1st, 2006 at 7:43 am
Awwwww…you can almost feel the honey dripping love fest that’s going on here.
Almost.
And I feel sticky for some reason.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:03 am
You shut up and you shut up now Gil!
Else I tell you that I heart you as well.
Sticky indeed…
June 1st, 2006 at 8:13 am
As long as it isn’t a sticky semi, that’d just be wrong.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:16 am
And Rhett makes an entrance!
June 1st, 2006 at 8:16 am
Oh Alvie, you know I heart your big cricket bat.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:18 am
yeeesh…. thats kinna scerry…. sticky male “heart” fest …..
can i watch?
June 1st, 2006 at 8:25 am
*bows* Thanks Alvie. Although when it comes to a battle of wits, I’m the alpha and you are the omega. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 8:25 am
Why watch Sarah, when you too could become an active participant.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:30 am
Stickiness all around? I thinkI need to go wash my hands. Ewwwww.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:35 am
Well, honey dripping stickiness ditto.
What are you thinking?
LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 8:39 am
WHY THE HELL IS GIL STARING AT MY CRICKET BAT!?
June 1st, 2006 at 8:39 am
Mostly thoughts. Like how to avoid work.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:41 am
Dang it Sarah would you go to the “other post” and splain the woody allen thing? Cmon, dont make me beg…
DAMMIT GIL STOP!!!
June 1st, 2006 at 8:42 am
Haha ok Alvie, i’m on my way
June 1st, 2006 at 8:59 am
Oh make Alive beg Sarah! LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 9:03 am
I don’t think Richard caught on to the dripping sarcasm in that Fosters comment at the end of the show. Foster’s, Australian for Crap!
Eliza, we play rugby, not make out! Thats like insest…making out with a teammate. But there is a couple on the team. These Guys on either side of #12. Here they are getting all Matrix on his ass. They have been together for awile.
I’m telling you, you want the calendar…seriously.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:06 am
Here are some photos from it.
May be NSFW, and caution, bare male asses….
June 1st, 2006 at 9:10 am
woah woah WOAH! I get on a plane this morning and I miss the love fest, a new Australian, and bare male asses— I hate my job for doing this to me.
talk to y’all later
June 1st, 2006 at 9:10 am
Sorry Sarah (and others) if I offended
I did not know the rules here, as you are right I am a newbie here. I will try to skype my comments too so I may regain some “points”.
I know some listeners want to hear some more Aussie accents so my Skype message should interest those.
I just have to confess I am a big fan of Coopers - I take it personally when others DIS my local brew and one of the few brews left in Australia which is wholly Australian owned. Most Aussie beers are no longer truly Aussie, having owners overseas. ;-(
- Love the podcast!
June 1st, 2006 at 9:11 am
Wow. You werent kidding.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:13 am
Richard, please call the voicemail line– it would really really REALLY make me happy and welcome to the show. We all play nice.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:15 am
Word Alvie!
June 1st, 2006 at 9:15 am
Especially Andrea, she plays sooper nice…
She has a pet Rabbit too.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:17 am
Alvie, I just noticed your Cricket Bat.
How’d your bat get so flat?
June 1st, 2006 at 9:19 am
Andrea is especially supa nice when she’s stuck in Chicagoland traffic.
And we’d like to pet her rabbit too.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:22 am
got nothing
June 1st, 2006 at 9:25 am
Ha ha- Yes I love my rabbit, and it loves me.
Well, wish me luck while I go now and suck the collective dick of this client we are trying to get to love us. I hate this part of my job……
June 1st, 2006 at 9:28 am
Howd I get my bat so flat? Got run over by…
Wait for it…
A semi.
Andrea… my God…
June 1st, 2006 at 9:30 am
Good luck Andrea!
Just don’t tell us that you have “massive amount of dick” or that the “love” was sticky though.
LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 9:31 am
Well this has been an interesting read today. HA!
June 1st, 2006 at 9:33 am
Well as Andrea had mentioned in the GYGO segment once, girth is a factor and if Alvie’s cricket bat is flat then man oh man, think about the girth factor there.
Hrm…
June 1st, 2006 at 9:36 am
“Hrm” indeed, Double G.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:40 am
Oh yeah, by the way…Netflix does have reccomendations. They get emailed to you too.

But hey, I’m not looking at your bat Alvie.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:46 am
Thanx Gil.
Jeremy, what got you into rugby? Just a question.
Did anyone see Ghost Hunters season finale last nite? Being as I live a half hour from that place, every year we go up there a few times, swear we are going to stay at the hotel, drive up to it, and promptly drive away do to the fact that its so damn creepy. Seriously, its a beautiful building set in on of the best places in the world for scenary. Still doesnt help.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:47 am
I just counted 5 misspellings in that post.
Huzzah!
June 1st, 2006 at 9:54 am
I did not see the season finale for Ghost Hunters so where is this hotel you speak of?
Spelling errors don’t matter, we don’t have the Spelling Patrol here right now, they are tied up elsewhere.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:59 am
I saw the wrap up, cool stuff. I say we need to have a WI slumber party at the Florida lighthouse. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 10:02 am
I photographed a match. I had a few friends on the team and wanted to go see what it was about and shoot the match. This was when I lived in Bremerton not Seattle so I couldn’t really join. Once I moved and was working in Seattle I joined and fucking love it! I highly reccomend checking out your (all of you) local rugby team. Even being a fan is fun. The culture is all about playing and then drinking and singing dirty songs and stuff. Way fun.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:06 am
Well then, ROAD TRIP!!!! lol
June 1st, 2006 at 10:13 am
sometimes, they have rugby matches at the Citadel sometimes.
haha
sorry…i’m eating lunch, and not really paying attention
But hey, you wanna talk about Gay Rugby teams — Citadel’s got’em…
Cadets are only good for two things - Buying me drinks, and keeping the gay population of charleston busy.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:20 am
Gil, Im talking bout the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. The one that inspired King to write The Shining.
Yeah, Jeremy. Back in school, when I would skip class, I would crack a beer and watch rugby on Fox Sports World. Its really entertaining. I would agree.
Um, yay Cadets? I think. Right?
June 1st, 2006 at 10:21 am
Rhett. That lighthouse ep was the coolest thing Ive seen. Tho Im pretty sure a WI slumber party would scare even the most hardened of spirits.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:23 am
In that case the only spirits there would be the kind you drink.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:38 am
Look out - mennengasia is under assault on Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mennengasia
Time to step up and defend it. These uptight losers are ripping on us.
June 1st, 2006 at 10:49 am
Oh God. People need a fuckin sense of humor. Lets intercede, shall we?
June 1st, 2006 at 11:14 am
I want to go to the Pool (i just totally typed poop, thats funny) Party but I don’t think I can. What I would like to do though is spin records and stream it to the party for like an hour or so. What is the fesability of that do you think?
June 1st, 2006 at 11:17 am
Yes, some people have no sense of humour.
Jeez.
June 1st, 2006 at 11:19 am
You might want to put a link to your forums on this site… I heard that you had a forums in this podcast and said “What the hell?”
June 1st, 2006 at 11:22 am
Mr. Jeremy. Anything is possible so long as you have some Tsunami Bomb or Rise Against in your mix.
Spin spin, sugar.
June 1st, 2006 at 11:23 am
What is the fesability of that do you think?
I’m sure it would be quite possible to be the Pool Party DJ Jeremy. We are after all in the 21st century.
June 1st, 2006 at 11:29 am
You might want to put a link to your forums on this site… I heard that you had a forums in this podcast and said “What the hell?�
P.G. There is a link, if you are in the main page, on the right hand side, in the “Join In” section, you’ll find the link there.
June 1st, 2006 at 11:34 am
aw, gil, you beat me to it…
June 1st, 2006 at 11:36 am
All of this talk of sticky wickets is making me faint…WTF is going on with the Wiki site?
June 1st, 2006 at 11:40 am
Not by much Sarah.
No sense of humour people that’s what KfK.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
Hell, they have a Wiki page for bigfoot and they are considering deleting the Mennengasia entry???
June 1st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
This is starting to really worry me
You went from my Scottish accents, to gay rugby players to sticky wickets???
WFT!!!!!
June 1st, 2006 at 12:02 pm
How about gay, Scottish rugby players playing criket!
June 1st, 2006 at 12:04 pm
Ian, your voice and stickyness go hand in hand…
heh, at least for me…
June 1st, 2006 at 12:04 pm
You went from my Scottish accents, to gay rugby players to sticky wickets???
To the deletion of the Mennengasia Sickness even, where does it stop Ian? LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 12:05 pm
NNNNOOOOO!!!!!!!!
June 1st, 2006 at 12:05 pm
Welcome to the WI comment section Ian. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 12:07 pm
Muwahahahahaha.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:08 pm

June 1st, 2006 at 12:09 pm
Ian, your voice and stickyness go hand in hand…
Oh dear, better throw in Alvie’s wicket Sarah and you’ll have yourself quite the ball game.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Don’t forget, there aren’t any gloves in cricket: it’s a hands-on game.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:15 pm
Ok Im not at lunch yet.
No talkin bout my wicket while Im out ya crazy fucks.
No matter how good the puns are.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:17 pm
Not to worry Alvie, we won’t be whacking your wicket while you’re away.
June 1st, 2006 at 12:30 pm
I’d much rather talk about Andrea smokin’ pole anyway. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 12:46 pm
Andrea’s smokin pole or petting Andrea’s rabbit between the ears? LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 12:52 pm
Now I’m completely incapable of thinking about work.
June 1st, 2006 at 1:00 pm
Either will do nicely, quite nicely. hehe Oh we’re so going to Hell. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 1:05 pm
And that’s a problem, why? Is the pool not hot enough there? Oh, never mind. I’m think of Arizona.
June 1st, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Just don’t get sticky there ditto.
June 1st, 2006 at 1:11 pm
I’m afraid to ask what I missed..
June 1st, 2006 at 1:14 pm
Scroll up and then down…and then up…and then down…
Start slowly and then speed up gradually.
And yes, I echo Rhettro, we are so going to hell. LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 1:15 pm

June 1st, 2006 at 1:40 pm
From a customer: “Norton Dick Doctor says it’s tool small.”
Translation: “Norton Disk Doctor says there’s not enough free space on the drive.”
LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 1:41 pm
Yar all terrible!
June 1st, 2006 at 1:42 pm
Wait a second, Sarah is it? I have to check my notes for Charleston. I’ll be back.
June 1st, 2006 at 1:45 pm
This comment board is GWARanteed to make me jump off a cliff
June 1st, 2006 at 1:47 pm
no ferreal, i used to be a good girl once upon a time, and then it just all went to pot…. literally… but that was a long time ago –
That’s because you’ve been corrupted by those cadets at The Citadel Sarah.
June 1st, 2006 at 1:49 pm

*cough*
Bye Sarah!
June 1st, 2006 at 2:10 pm
Alvie, if you hadn’t taken a two hour lunch you’d know! Slacker.
Sarah, happy trails.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:14 pm
For a moment there, I thought Rhettro said, “…happy tails…” LOL
June 1st, 2006 at 2:17 pm
I didnt take a 2 hour lunch fool!
June 1st, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Is there really any other kind?
June 1st, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Who you callin a fool, fool?
June 1st, 2006 at 2:18 pm
I aplolgize to Mr. T for using his copyrighted “fool” line.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:25 pm
In the comment feed, no one can hear you scream….
June 1st, 2006 at 2:29 pm
Holy crap! Y’all got chatty, didntcha?
Andrea, by in order, I mean my preference in swooniness of said accents. So find 3 or 4 guys with those accents, and have them read the translated Tao Te Ching, and I’ll be happy for quite some time.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Ribbit.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:32 pm
Will a guy with a bad Okie accent count Summer?
June 1st, 2006 at 2:34 pm
OOh Summer, Tao Te Ching, I just love it when you use romanized Chinese.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:36 pm
Okie accent?
Okie accent?
LOL You’ve been in KC for so long that you don’t have an Okie accent anymore Patman, more like a Missouri, Show Me accent.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Hey Ive been screaming for like 5 minutes. Did noone hear me? Guess Ditto was right.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Maybe your wireless network dropped your call Alvie.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:47 pm
They have wireless networks now??
June 1st, 2006 at 2:49 pm
Yah, you can now talk through the Dixie cups without string!
Amazing!
June 1st, 2006 at 2:53 pm
Shheeshh.
Baack in my daay, wee dinna have shings like “dickshee cupsh” and “shtrings”. We jusht yelled really loudly.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:57 pm
Hey Old Coot,
Is your timex watch still ticking?
June 1st, 2006 at 2:57 pm
Actually, I don’t really have an accent, Okie or Missoura or other…I got nutt’n. Thanks for making me feel better Gil.
June 1st, 2006 at 2:59 pm

Bunny ears, a pole, a sticky wicket, a Pirate, a Dog, Mr. T, Belzebub, an old Coot….where the hell am I?!?!?
June 1st, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Now all we need is Adam Sandler opening a can of “whoopass.”
June 1st, 2006 at 3:09 pm
You know where you are, Patman. Just let it all sink in. Days like this are magical…
June 1st, 2006 at 3:12 pm
And now…
I shall drive home to cry.
G’day.
June 1st, 2006 at 3:12 pm
Alright Alvie-here’s to magic.
June 1st, 2006 at 3:15 pm
PS-Mr. T-I think you should take over mennenga’s “deep thought of the day spot.”
June 1st, 2006 at 3:19 pm
Yes… thanks Alvie…I’m calming down now…
June 1st, 2006 at 3:20 pm
If nobody has done it yet and Joe really doesn’t like “Mason Rocket” I call dibs on that name.
June 1st, 2006 at 3:22 pm
I have an Okie accent…damn that just sucks… Need beer.
June 1st, 2006 at 3:30 pm
Sarah - I want the giggle recorded. Please…..
June 1st, 2006 at 3:30 pm
Beer makes everything better. Well, ok, it doesn’t, but it’s better than nothing.
June 1st, 2006 at 3:36 pm
Ooops. Forgot to fix my name.
June 1st, 2006 at 5:16 pm
Afore I sit down to me sammitch, corn o’ the cob, and frosty delicious Dale’s Pale Ale, I wish to thank thee all for a fine day.
Truly, with top notch freaks like you to entertain me, the day flys by.
Way to be people. Way to be.
June 1st, 2006 at 5:17 pm
We are here to entertain.
(Actually I am here to imagine - Andrea, Karen, Sarah and Dani are actually talking to me)
June 1st, 2006 at 5:23 pm
We aim to please.
June 1st, 2006 at 5:57 pm
*Runs in naked and covered in feces
Sorry, what did I miss?
June 1st, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Looks like you ran into everything you weren’t supposed to. stinky!
June 1st, 2006 at 6:58 pm
God Dammit! Get back to your proper message board, boy!
Fraggin fecal, naked, dancing, Evo screaming boy!
June 1st, 2006 at 7:01 pm
lmfao
June 1st, 2006 at 7:01 pm
Holy fucking shit- I just got back to my hotel after getting butt wasted with my co-workers, our client and 5 hot 22-25 yr old Scottish boys (yes of course I called the wingin it voicemail line sometime during the night) and I went to check my email and thought oh let me check the wingin it comments. You guys are all insane…. I am going to go take a shower, go to bed and dream about said 5 hot Scottish boys….. mmmmmm…….yummy! Get your geek off indeed!!!!
June 1st, 2006 at 7:09 pm
Indeed. I am sick of hearing about Scottish boys.
June 1st, 2006 at 7:09 pm
Oh youre just fraggin jealous! Theres nothing wrong with ‘em!
June 1st, 2006 at 7:10 pm
Dammit. God of Kobol, could you moderate these two again?
June 1st, 2006 at 7:11 pm
*sigh* God of Kobol is right yet again. God of Kobol, God of Kobol, play nice or Im kickin you both outta the sphere.
June 1st, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Yay! The Gods of Kobol!! I apologize for my Scottish obsession, but those 5 boys walked into MY bar- it is all their fault.
June 1st, 2006 at 7:59 pm
If we have 223 comments on this website, imagine if we all went to the paypal account and gave 5 dollars to Michael and Evo for the Liver Transplant Fund. I have raised the bar, and will do so accordingly. Top that…my dears.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:56 pm
Please dont guilt me in to giving them anything more than I can. Im still trying to scrap $20 for beer for the party. Some of us are truly in debt you know, “my dear”.
June 1st, 2006 at 8:57 pm
Shit I forgot to change my name. Wow. That looks rather odd coming from a god of kobol.
June 1st, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Alright folks, the Wikipedians are complaining that Mennengasia doesn’t have enough google hits to be in widespread use. They think that too few people know about the word. Now, I don’t know how big the Dragon Page/Farpoint audience is, but I should think we’re a pretty good sized group. So, put it to use!
June 1st, 2006 at 9:05 pm
Word, Ed from Texas.
Just let me finish selling my first born so I can “top” KfK.
June 2nd, 2006 at 4:18 am
Cooper’s is brewed in Adelaide, and as any brewer will tell you, a beer is only as good as the water used.
The water in Adelaide has been described as “So Bad, the dog’s don’t even drink it”.
Unfortunately, Australia is a country dominated by Tooheys and CUB Megabreweries. Other smaller Breweries, like Coopers (SA), Grand Ridge (VIC), Matilda Bay (WA) and Malt Shovel (NSW) are gaining in popularity and Local Microbreweries and BrewPubs are Popping up here and there.
June 2nd, 2006 at 9:14 am
Alvie On top of KfK? I think if you change your name to Jimmy, you can be on the bottom.
June 2nd, 2006 at 9:37 am
Wow. Not the response I expected.
But then again youre always fulla surprises, arent ya Karen!
And, just for now, Id better keep my legal name and not change it. Just for now.
June 2nd, 2006 at 9:53 am
Make the pictures STOP!!!
June 2nd, 2006 at 9:58 am
Sorry, cant. Try back in about 5 minutes.
June 2nd, 2006 at 6:12 pm
Just to point out guys about Coopers beer. It has twice now had the big multi nationals try to buy it. But all the shareholders refuse to sell. They (the shareholders) want it to keep it as it was.
Joe. Man here we are on different sides of the planet and we have the same re-invented game of UNO. Although we called it the “mega deck”, Suicide UNO sounds way better. Shit loads of fun.
November 6th, 2006 at 11:25 am
