Wingin’ It #69: The Eternal Fan Show
This week on Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It, the fans have taken over the asylum, as The Ranting Scotsman, Ian, heads up a crazy crew along with Karen from Kalifornia, Brad from Podculture, and Chris from Two Girls and a Podcast.
The slightly silent studio audience is Christina from Podculture.
First Drink of the Day: Everyone is drinking differently so god knows.
- The group talk about their podcasts and segments which they are known for in the Wingin’ It World.
- Doodle of the Fates: Alvie vs. Evo in a parody of Jack Mangan’s well known segments.
- Doodle Reaction: The guys talk about possibly one of the funniest segments in Wingin’ It history. Jack is going to be so pissed.
- Ian brags on about the Stargate Atlantis Season 3 Premiere whilst Karen and Chris talk about Kyle XY.
- Drink Mixology: With Andrew from R&D still missing in his cave, Chris and Eliz from Two Girls and a Podcast take over and invent some new drink.
- Rebeer: This week comes from Karen and god knows we still don’t know what each other is drinking, listen carefully and you might be able to tell through all the rambling.
- The gang talk about Dragon*Con and Comic-Con. A clash between Wingin’ It, Podculture, and The Ranting Scotsman is expected sometime during Dragon*Con. Whilst Karen will need to try and subdue Mike at Comic-Con, god help both of them.
- Sci-Fi Poetry Slam: Isabella.
- Dumb-Ass-News: The gang prove that Wingin’ It listeners aren’t the most brain dead people in the world with a selection of whacky stories from all over the world.
- Hiaku for You: Another great segment from Karen with a little teaser of a question with haikus on our beloved other presenters!
- The guys wrap up the show by thanking everyone in the IRC every week.
- Ian comments on the crazy ass goings on in the forums.
- The guys make a call out to break Jack Mangan’s Deadpan comment record of some 1200.

July 19th, 2006 at 8:54 pm
You wanna beat Mangan’s 1200, eh?
July 19th, 2006 at 10:22 pm
Mike’s 6′5″? Funny, I don’t quite remember that last year at Westercon in Calgary… Then again, exhaustion, beer, and driving 6+ hours in one day can skew memories.
July 19th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Karen from Kalifornia mentioned my name(ish).
*sigh*
My life’s purpose is complete. Aside from that ‘travel the world’, ‘reach puberty’ stuff.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:47 am
Hey I’m making my contribution to the run for 1200+ It was a wacky time doing the show….possibly the only episode stranger than the infamous pool party! Hope you guys enjoy, and it doesn’t sacre ya away from the show!
July 20th, 2006 at 6:03 am
Gah! Worst show ever!!!
Where is the rewind button =-)
Evo has short-mans complex…. Now THAT explains a LOT!!! =_)
July 20th, 2006 at 6:03 am
I’m still listening now, contributing to the 1200. Jack, don’t hate me!
Great job guys! I’ll drop a few more comments after I listen and after we get a few hundred more posts in here.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:40 am
I will only add 1 comment to this show….
Mike and Evo should of had the 69.. that is just wrong. Wrong I tell you!!!
i will not contribute any further towards your 1200. Sorry guys
July 20th, 2006 at 6:54 am
Just finished listening.
Great job, Ian, Karen, Brad and Chris!
Thanks for letting me contribute, and thanks for keeping Wingin’ It going while those regular guys were slackin’!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:15 am
Hey Tony, it was a blast to do.
Now to see if we can really get 1200+ posts. Maybe if we are lucky.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:17 am
You know what, last week I thought I worked out that it was us that were Show #68, but I guess Joe must have got it wrong or something like that cause I was sure up until last night it was #68
But of course when I went to write the show notes, I realised it was #69
Sorry Andrea but stuff happens :p
July 20th, 2006 at 7:19 am
>>>Mike and Evo should of had the 69.. that is just wrong. Wrong I tell you!!!
Andrea….hey we were gonna call it show 68.5, but I guess they decided otherwise when they posted the show. Had we KNOWN…..well who knows what would have happened with the show!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:21 am
To tell you the truth, I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened, cause regardless of what would have been recorded, it would have been an even bigger mess for me to edit!!!
I suppose we could have missed it out in the order if Mike had answered his email like two weeks ago!!!
But since its been published and released like that, I suppose there is nothing we can do
ITS ALL JOE’S FAULT, SINCE HE POSTED IT UP ON THE FEED!!!
:P 
July 20th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Thanks for the name check, guys! Are you trying to say that I am a bit of a podcast slut, perhaps? I’ll admit it; I don’t mind sharing myself with just about everybody — at least my voice :-).
July 20th, 2006 at 7:28 am
It was a Great Poem especially since I was harassing you for it, although I still need to admit I have a slight idea of its purpose but no idea of where it is from
July 20th, 2006 at 7:36 am
I had been telling you guys it was #69… and even included it in Doodle of the Fates…
That’s ok… I’m used to not being listened to…
July 20th, 2006 at 7:49 am
I’m sorry Tony…..did you just say something?
July 20th, 2006 at 7:53 am
Did anyone hearing anything???
Now that you mention those numbers, weren’t they in Doodle of the Fates or was that just a parody?
God knows I am starting to hear voices
July 20th, 2006 at 8:02 am
The voices in my head are telling me to have a drink….it’s been a rough day so far.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:12 am
You guys made “Kyle XY” sound a bit more intriguing than it actually is. I like it, but it is more of a teen coming-of-age story; the SF quotient is pretty low. I think they should hurry up and solve the mystery of where Kyle came from so they can get on with the fish-out-of-water angle.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:18 am
When they first began describing “Kyle XY” I was thinking, “Sounds an awful lot like ‘John Doe’.
I think I’ll have to pass on this one for now, and see how it looks after the first season… if it’s still around.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:18 am
Eh, I may have lost the Doodle but my ass reigns supreme…
Weeeeepah!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:26 am
I didn’t think you’d mind the loss… as long as your ass got its proper representation, Alvie.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:32 am
True dat.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:32 am
Rematch I say…… REMATCH!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:36 am
Karen and Chris, it sounds like we are all in the same situation with our mates. My hubbyman barely knows what a podcast is; he definitely doesn’t know that I’m stroking strange men with my voice!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:43 am
I just want to hear more of that drool worthy accent. No Brad, I not talking about you.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:44 am
I’ll do another Doodle anytime… it was a lot of fun to put together… as long as Jack doesn’t put a hit out on me for the last one.
And Dani… your feedback is coming in our episode that is coming out in the day or so (unless last night’s storms here took out Tony’s power.)
July 20th, 2006 at 8:48 am
That poor girl in Oregon! It is hard out there for the single gals — they have to catch a man anywhere they can find one :-).
July 20th, 2006 at 8:50 am
Wiccy….Ian will be at Dragon*Con
July 20th, 2006 at 8:52 am
Why can’t the Russian guy just screw the cow? Men screw women without marrying them all the time.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:54 am
Karen, you used the wrong promo for the BunkCast again! You need to delete that one from your computer.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:57 am
Tony, thanks for using my VM on your show. I know I rambled on so you didn’t have to play it.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:06 am
Dani, it was perfect… In two minutes you made the point that we couldn’t make in 20 minutes
July 20th, 2006 at 9:21 am
::: sniff ::: boo hoo….hardly anyone ever sends a VM to our show.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:22 am
That is an excellent question Dani, why can’t he just screw the cow instead of marrying it? Isn’t that enough? Does he really love Bessie? Poor Bessie.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:25 am
That was the promo Karen gave me fior the Bunkcast as I was trying to fit in everyone’s show but I forgot about The Gigglefest
July 20th, 2006 at 9:28 am
I also didn’t catch the Fanboy Smackdown promo in there either, Ian…
July 20th, 2006 at 9:39 am
Hehe, well I am sure that people won’t have a problem finding us if they want to.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:39 am
Hehe, well I am sure that people won’t have a problem finding us if they want to.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:40 am
yay, go double posting. How in the world did I manage that?
July 20th, 2006 at 9:45 am
Chris… I just put ‘podcast giggle gigglecast’ into Google. And wouldn’t you know… Two Girls and a Podcast was #2 in the search… yeah, you shouldn’t be too tough to find

For the record, men in kilts are not scarey…men in kilts are HAWT!!!!!
REAL MEN WEAR SKIRTS!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:52 am
July 20th, 2006 at 9:55 am
I have worn a kilt….not a pretty sight.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:58 am
Brad: Believe it or not I was able to belay my droolfest long enough to hear and interperet that for my ownself.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:03 am
Kilts rock… especially when you are going to a Ren Faire and it’s 90ish degrees with 80+% humidity.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:08 am
Brad, sweets I like that has more to do with the lack of leg than the hotness of you… you really have to have good gams to pull off a kilt and well…yeah.
;P
July 20th, 2006 at 10:24 am
Karen regarding “Evo twirlinging around spitting fire”
As I heard that I heard in my head…
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Evo twirlinging around spitting fire. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:03 am
Wiccy…..somewhere I HAVE pics of me in that kilt (video even) trust me….it AIN’T pretty. (one of the hazards of being in drama during high school)
July 20th, 2006 at 11:12 am
Come on guys! You’ve got quite a way to go to hit 1200 comments.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:15 am
Good stuff.
And I was mentioned. *cheers*

July 20th, 2006 at 11:23 am
ditto…..it ain’t for lack of trying. I guess some folk really were scared away by our show.

ops, double post, well atleast it will help on the march to 1200
July 20th, 2006 at 11:31 am
I don’t think anyone was scared away by the show. The three major comment pushers are just absent, that’s all.
July 20th, 2006 at 11:40 am
LOL…..geez if we scared dedicated folks like THEM away……WTF did everyone ELSE think?
July 20th, 2006 at 11:51 am
Oh you guys…. no one is scared. We get mocked for posting too much over here and now you want us to post?
July 20th, 2006 at 11:55 am
What the Hottie said.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
I don’t know if we will be able to make it all the way to 1200 without your help though. Ah well, that is the way the cookie crumbles I guess.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Oh and Tony, you scared me right good with that search result. So I had to try it out, and well nowI have to scare Eliz. Muhahaha. Ok, I suck at the evil laughter, so I guess I should go back to the giggling. Hehehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:02 pm
Hell yeah we want ya to post. We’re vain we want this post to have the highest number of comments yet!
July 20th, 2006 at 12:05 pm
That would drive Evo nuts.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:07 pm
I heart Evo- i will not hurt him, nor Mike, nor KAMN, nor Jack, nor beer guy, nor sweet treat ladies, nor TD
July 20th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
I’m not saying we want to hurt him. Just tease him mercilessly.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Alvie is such a parrot.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:13 pm
Are you kidding? Evo would look at this as an extention of what he does… he can take credit for the idea of letting the fans do the show, he can then crow about how great an idea it was when this show has so many comments… plus he doesn’t have to do any work for it
July 20th, 2006 at 12:14 pm
Bah.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
what are we down to useless comments just to build comment count? Cool!
July 20th, 2006 at 12:18 pm
>>>That would drive Evo nuts.
Ummm Ditto….isn’t he pretty much there already?
July 20th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
Well, it would be like making Napoleon so jealous he’d jump up and down in a fit. So to speak.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:20 pm
No Evo bashing. No Alvie bashing.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:21 pm
Not even a little?????
July 20th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
okay just a little
July 20th, 2006 at 12:26 pm
Andrea…..not bashing Evo really, but c’mon the guy IS nuts! (but in a wacky fun way)
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
No he is not, I heart Evo
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
Didn’t they bash each other enough in Doodle…. oh, wait… no, I was the one doing the bashing.
Nevermind.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:27 pm
I wouldn’t say he’s nuts. A meglomaniac, sure. Nuts? Naw.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:36 pm
I finished listening to the cast guys. Good job. It was fun.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:37 pm
“Andrea…..not bashing Evo really, but c’mon the guy IS nuts! (but in a wacky fun way)”
Sweet. that means your “really” bashing me.
Good luck getting to 1200.
feh.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:43 pm
See, now you guys did it. Pissed off Alvie. now I am going to have to start kicking some ass… who is first???
July 20th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
Glad to know that you liked it ditto. Some of us seek approval. Well, not really, but it is fun to have none the less.
July 20th, 2006 at 12:52 pm
didn’t think so……
July 20th, 2006 at 1:03 pm
uh…Alvie? Did I miss something? ::: looks around confused ::: How in the heck did I bash Alvie by saying that Evo’s nuts?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Ehh?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
I’m so glad that I can’t post in a timely fashion because of the spam filter.
I hope someone gets this resolved soon so we can just have fun and enjoy the great work that Karen, Chris, Brad and Ian did.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Sweet. Confusion all around…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:28 pm
This comment has no point. It is solely to boost the comment count. 250 or bust!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
So what IS the comment count as of this moment? I’m full of mindless drivel that I could allow to spill over my keyboard and out onto this page, jsut ask Brad…of course it wouldn’t have anything to do with the cast, does that matter?
July 20th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
250 ha I laugh at your 250 I am thinking 500!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:34 pm
So what IS the comment count as of this moment? I’m full of mindless drivel that I could allow to spill over my keyboard and out onto this page, jsut ask Brad…of course it wouldn’t have anything to do with the cast, does that matter?
Also, why is this thing being an asslemur?…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:35 pm
Test? WHY WON’T YOU TAKE MY COMMENT YOU STOOOOPID INTERWEB!!!????
July 20th, 2006 at 1:36 pm
500 hell……..I wanna beat the Deadpan! (no offense Jack)

July 20th, 2006 at 1:38 pm
Alvie….dammit man….you are giving me a headache! ::: hates confusion :::
July 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
no Jack Mangan/Deadpan bashing either
Deadpan-137
Wingin It-89
July 20th, 2006 at 1:39 pm
TEST? Hello? INTERWEB? TAKE MY BLOODY COMMENTS!!!!
Ewwww, I hate you so much right now…
July 20th, 2006 at 1:41 pm
::: sigh ::: How does wanting to beat The Deadpan in comments count as bashing? Gorrammitt hasn’t anyone heard of friendly rivalry? :p
July 20th, 2006 at 1:42 pm
Im just giving you shit man. I like giving people shit.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
I don’t want shit….I want popcorn!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
and beer!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
and weed!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:50 pm
And a piece of ass!
July 20th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Now that sounds like a fucking good time… no pun intended
July 20th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
well hell…I must be SOL ….. I don’t drink beer, I don’t smoke, and Christina is sick.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Only comment here as Im on the deadpan team.
500! HAH! I laugh at your small numbers. no more posting from me, but have a free comment…youll need it.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:55 pm
You have popcorn- you can sit and watch like a movie.
July 20th, 2006 at 1:57 pm
You know what we should stick to my original idea which is to beat the Wingin’ It record for comments on a show
The main difference is that Jack posts shows in a irregular pattern whilst we only have 5 days until the Voicemail show is released and there is a low possibility of beating his record, sure it would be nice but we don’t want this convo to break down into mindless rambling :p
July 20th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
almost

July 20th, 2006 at 1:59 pm

July 20th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
Ian, Jack has been posting a new Deadpan every Thursday. Doesn’t seem too irregular to me.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
Jack posts his shows irregularly?
Huh… Seems to me they come out every Thursday.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
heh, me and ditto share brains…
July 20th, 2006 at 2:18 pm
STICK. THI. TIM. DAMIT!

July 20th, 2006 at 2:32 pm
WI — 118
DP — 189
July 20th, 2006 at 2:36 pm
And Fanboy Smackdown has 4 comments… not 4 for the last episode, that’s 4 total… LOL
Why do we want to beat Jack? We like Jack. Jack’s our friend. We should be asking Jack to help get the comments up. He apparently knows how to do it.
Jack, Don’t hate me for Doodle of the Fates
July 20th, 2006 at 2:42 pm
I will give you guys a goodbye too. i am leaving for Rome- I will be back Tuesday.. play nice. good luck with your comment goal. see ya!
July 20th, 2006 at 2:43 pm
We are catchin up! Yes!
July 20th, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Well I figured I should give my input on the fan “WI”.
Rating- Very meh.
Who edited this together? I know many of you who participated are podcasters, so Im sure you know about levels. They were all of the place.
There were some decent segments, but it felt too fanboyish (girlish. personish) This idea had some potential, it could have been a show more in the style of WI, but where you all brought your own talents to it. But to me it felt like a message board that happened to be audio.
I know im going to be the only one here who has this opinion, but I speak my mind. And if it hurts you…then dont read the internet. Becasue you dont want my thoughts and opinions blocking your tubes, preventing your messages getting to places.
July 20th, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Jason I can relate, while it wasn’t WI traditional I accepted it going in.
July 20th, 2006 at 3:56 pm
Hi Jason, I am sorry to see you didn’t care for the episode. I feel I must say respond to your comment about the show being too fanboyish. It was difficult to figure out the best way to do the podcast without going too much into the styles of our own very different podcasts, so we tried to stay close to the WI style but without 3 hours of podcasting done beforehand. Very difficult to do btw, but we tried.
As for the comments about the editing, well, let’s just say there were some complications. I guess people will just appreciate the work Mike and Evo do even more.
Thanks for the feedback.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:16 pm
Chris….you forgot to add that the first few episodes of a podcast always suck!
Jason: Since that was the first time that crew had gotten together to do a ‘cast yeah it sounded rough. Maybe next time (hopefully there will be one since I had a blast doing it) We will do better. We did the best we could, we had fun, and it just takes time for a show to find it’s groove. Not to mention that we didn’t have the equipment resources of the Draco-Vista Studios to draw on when we did the show. Also not to sound too much like a prick but…..dude do you actually know how much work actually goes into producing a show?
July 20th, 2006 at 4:18 pm
Wiccy…..nope really doesn’t matter. Comment away!
July 20th, 2006 at 4:23 pm
We’re getting the comments up…
July 20th, 2006 at 4:23 pm
Hey Tony, I figured out that if you type “podcast gigglecast” in google, we come up as the first result. That should freak Eliz right out.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Brad- Yes I know alot goes into producing a show. but I also think that making the levels a bit closer cant be so hard. If I had been listening on headphones im sure my ears would have been blasted off when the bumpers played. Im not just knocking for shits and giggles, if no one else says these things then it might not get better.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
Jason, I agree there was definitely a problem with the levels. Given a bit more time, we could have and would have fixed them, but as I previously said, there were some complications when it came to editing. So many tracks, so little time to set them all. Needless to say we took notes for future efforts. I think it is time to call this issue closed before it turns ugly, but I can appreciate your need to mention the problems as you saw them.
In any case, I hope you still decide to check out our individual shows, maybe that will help to assure you that we aren’t all bad.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:37 pm
chris- I agree I never wanted to start anything, I just wanted to get my voice out there.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:41 pm
I like the first show analogy because it really was both for the few brave souls trying to keep a weekly show alive in a world thrown into chaos.
Just means you don’t get excuses next time
July 20th, 2006 at 4:42 pm
*joking*
July 20th, 2006 at 4:43 pm
And hey, you still managed to help us get our comments count up. So thanks again.
See we can be one big happy family.
Hmmm, am I too sunshine happy for WI? Questions, questions. Hehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:45 pm
Oh no! Pressure! Can we deal with it? Hehe. Well I am sure we will do much better next time.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:46 pm
Oh youll never beat us Deadpanites! We shall rule the world.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
Chris no, just too happy for WI with Evo
July 20th, 2006 at 4:47 pm
I appologize for coming down harsh on anyone, I guess I’m pretty defensive of show editors since I edit my podcast together. Feedback is all good, and honestly I think that I couldn’t have done the job of editing 4 seperate vocal tracks together. That was a hell of a job I bet….and Ian deserves a round of drinks for getting the job done.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
And yet we must try. It is our own little Everest, cause the real one is big, and well cold at the top. Much better to try to win at this particular challenge.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:53 pm
And yet again I end up getting flagged as possible spam. Damn you spam filter!
Hehe, actually it must serve a good purpose so maybe I should try being nice.
Please nice spam filter, let me in. I am a nice girl, no really. And I am sure we can be friends. Hehe.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:16 pm
Concerning “podcast gigglecastâ€?: Yes, I am quite freaked and now must come up with some sort of solution. Google can’t be that hard to break into.
As for the podcast, loved it guys. You did a great job and it sounded like a lot of fun. But I think you guys need to drink more. Definitely not liberal enough with the alcohol.
July 20th, 2006 at 5:41 pm
1200? Pipe dream, or possible reality? Only time (and massive post counts) will tell…
July 20th, 2006 at 5:59 pm
I love to think of it as a beautiful dream that only you guys can help us to achieve. And I also like to think that it is going to happen cause I am a dreamer. Hehe, yeah, that’s it.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:10 pm
Ian, Karen, Brad, Chris….I got a mic…I’m ready!!!
July 20th, 2006 at 6:23 pm
P.S. I have been out of town every Saturday since my mic broke…so I should check my calender before I start volunteering to get drunk for podcasts…Great job guys!!! I drank three beers while listening to the show, and I laughed.
July 20th, 2006 at 6:39 pm
Yay! My aim is to make people laugh, so I be all happy now.
July 20th, 2006 at 7:36 pm
Yes more drinking! Definately…though as evidenced by the pool party it makes Karen mute
July 20th, 2006 at 7:37 pm
Yooper back in the house!
July 20th, 2006 at 7:46 pm
Lots of fun! Great job, gang!
July 20th, 2006 at 8:03 pm
We all happy here.
July 20th, 2006 at 8:30 pm
Maybe the group podcast thing should be done as a round robin. You can imitate Podculture next, then 2 Girls, then Fanboy Smackdown. Stay away from the BunkCast, though — that’s MY turf!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
uh Dani….who would WANNA imatate PodCulture? And I think if we were to get Christina in on the act we would have the “gigglecast” down part. It hard to get that girl to stop once she gets to laughing.
July 20th, 2006 at 9:19 pm
also one HAS to wonder…….would they even LET us play in their sandbox again?
July 20th, 2006 at 9:26 pm
>>>Yes more drinking! Definately
Thomas: Dude….. alcohol + allergy meds = bad idea! Did ya not hear me talk about that or are ya trying to kill me? (come to think about it……) LOL….I limit m’self to just a very few occasional drinks because of my constant allergy meds. How’s about I get all hopped up on sugar and caffiene instead? More tasty and less dangerous!
July 20th, 2006 at 9:58 pm
Okay you get a pass that time. I suppose suger is an allowed sub, if necessary. Though I disagree with the tasty, you didn’t try my Black Lager at the pool party.
July 20th, 2006 at 10:09 pm
I know it’s damn near a nasty thing to say around here, but I do NOT like beer of any form. Just have not been able to develop a taste for it….and believe me….I’ve tried!
July 20th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
What a night I have missed
Just a quick response to Jason C’s comments about the show. The levels were indeed my fault and I apologize if I blew anyone’s ear drums out. However editting four massive audio files together using Audacity and cutting out large chunks of it, does put some strain on your computer.
Of course being Nightshift this week didn’t help, but I think apart from the sound levels, everything else was fine. Who cares what it sounded like, its Wingin’ It and just because it wasn’t like the usual lot doesn’t really matter since we were indeed “Wingin’ It”
I would love to do another show but not for a long time and some better planning because Mike only gave me a week preparation time and I think with more time to organise and work with, everything would have turned out for the better.
Brad - I indeed will be taking a very large drink this weekend for the accomplishment of editting the show or as I have classed it on my blog, ‘My Week in Wingin’ It Hell’
July 21st, 2006 at 4:35 am
I definitely thought first-podcast-rules applied with this one, so you guys got a pass on many things. We all know Mike is a sound/editing god, though much underappreciated. So, it would be next to impossible to produce something just as good as a regular WI episode right off the bat.
WI is unique. There is a certain chemistry.
Even if the regular crew wasn’t in this ep, and even if the production was off, the chemistry was still there. There will always be some negative comments, and there is always room for improvement. Just don’t let it bring you down.
Good job guys. I enjoyed the episode.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:17 am
Thanks Ditto. I heard someone say once that when you start a podcast, record your first 5-10 episodes, them out and THEN release your “first” episode. I’m looking at this as I do when we record PodCulture I have a great time chatting with friends, and it just so happens that a podcast comes out of it.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:23 am
Oh man, we are so running out of steam, we need some more posts soon or we will never have are 1200.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:35 am
Heh. I’m not sure you *really* want 1200 comments here.
July 21st, 2006 at 5:35 am
I’m trying Chris…..I’m trying. Maybe folks just haven’t woken up yet?
July 21st, 2006 at 6:13 am
>>>Heh. I’m not sure you *really* want 1200 comments here
You are right ditto….I DON’T want 1200 here! I want MORE!!!!! Bring it on!
July 21st, 2006 at 6:38 am
Wow Dani… to include Fanboy Smackdown with the likes of Two Girls and a Podcast and Podculture(I’ll still working this one through the queue of podcasts)… we are honored. To echo in a distorted fashion what Brad said, our show is just a conversation between two friends… a conversation that would take place anyway, just that we record it…. and take voice mail… and email… and play promos for other people…. Ok, so maybe it’s not just a conversation, but it’s MOSTLY a conversation.
Until the Genie shows up, takes over the Television and calls everyone FOOLS when they get in the way of his Smallville watchin’.
Um… Yeah.
July 21st, 2006 at 6:40 am
So if I change things around, will it make it past the filter?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:00 am
>>>There will always be some negative comments, and there is always room for improvement. Just don’t let it bring you down.
Where were these?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:13 am
Alvie: There were a few comments made about the sound levels, the fanboyish nature of the show, the editing, and the fact that the show didn’t “feel” like a regular WI.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:14 am
oh yeah and that the Deadpan folk seem to think that there’s NO WAY that we could beat then in number of comments too! I’d call that pretty negative!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:17 am
Are you trying to compensate for something, Brad?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:28 am
I dont see those as negative at all. I saw them as honest comments. They werent intended to be malicious I dont think? Do you?
>>>oh yeah and that the Deadpan folk seem to think that there’s NO WAY that we could beat then in number of comments too! I’d call that pretty negative!
*wags finger*
Welll you made youre own bed as far as that goes! Lay in it!
*puts finger away*
July 21st, 2006 at 7:30 am
fuck its too early to try and be grammatically correct….
July 21st, 2006 at 7:36 am
Well, negative can be in the eye of the beholder. I didn’t think Jason was being negative either, but some people might have felt that way. It certainly isn’t like Jason said, “You guys frakin’ suck” which would be very negative.
I need a beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:38 am
The audio levels were off a bit, mostly the promos were much louder but, it didn’t bother me none really and didn’t hinder my enjoment of the show at all.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:44 am
Already??????
Ditto, step 1 is admitting you have a problem.
Step 2 is me telling you you frackin suck.
Tough love, ditto, tough love.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:56 am
Yeah. I suck *beer*! Ha! Take that! Didn’t see that one coming, did ya?!!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:57 am
No I don’t think the comments were ment to be harsh at all. Ok the comments were the closest to negative that have been posted thus far. Harsh no, not really? Believe me I’ve gotten worse on my own show, and even then the person in that case didn’t have the courtesy to sign their name to it….they punked out and posted anonomously.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:57 am

*rubs face*

WTF how did that double post?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:59 am
You clicked the button twice?
July 21st, 2006 at 8:00 am
I think the problem is I’m listening to Charlie’s beer cast right now. It’s making me thirsty. T h i r s t y, I say!!!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:05 am
nope no double click on the button.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:11 am
Then clearly you have magic powers Brad. Use them for evil, not good…
Wait switch that.
On second thought, dont.
FUck it. I want a beer too. Fuck this work stuff ditto. Lets go drink. I can be in KC in 8 ish hours.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:15 am
Well if you are headed to KC you’ll be in the wrong place! I’m here in Kentucky. But hey if you wanna swing on by, I’ll take you over to dad’s tavern.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:16 am
w00t!!!!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:20 am
Sorry Brad, I was headed to see ditto.
HOWEVAR KY aint that far away from MO in the long run…
Mental road trip!!!!!
Ah…
July 21st, 2006 at 8:36 am
Im out.
Gday
July 21st, 2006 at 8:37 am
One last shot at beating the filter before I give up for the day…
July 21st, 2006 at 11:06 am

But it’s all better now….I hope
July 21st, 2006 at 11:40 am
server go boom
July 21st, 2006 at 11:47 am
Yeah, the Deadpanities were scared and so they flooded the site with comments and managed to crash the server…again
July 21st, 2006 at 11:52 am
Uh… except it takes down Jack’s site too which is why we wouldn’t do that.
July 21st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
Yknow Im reeeealllly trying to stay neutral in this “competition” but any more anti-Deadpanite statements come across here and Im picking sides.
Dont worry, Ive said the same thing “over there” also…
July 21st, 2006 at 12:14 pm
*uses Alvi mind trick on self*
These ARE the chips Im looking for…

Huh, suddenly I crave chips.
July 21st, 2006 at 12:47 pm
On the level issue (cuz nothing is closed in my world) I totally appreciate how much of a pain in the ass it is. Andrea and I record GYGO separately and she sends me her audio file. I try to reconcile the differences between the audio and its really hard. My mic is way better so I need to adjust all kinds of levels to get them similar. The first few sounded like utter crap.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:10 pm
HEY!!! Im in Rome motherfuckers!!!! Stopped at a internet cafe- my husband is looking up stock market crap for work (yes he is a work-a-holic) so I am checking on you all.
(Jeremy are you trying to tell everyone I sound like crap???– just kidding, I do. I need to figure that out next week why my Mic sucks)
I am not on either “side” Wingin It was my first love, and I will always love it- I happen to spend more time over at Deadpan right now.. but Mike and Evo are the shit.
Bye kids.. I have go be like the Romans now……
July 21st, 2006 at 1:14 pm
OMG, Andrea I am all jealous. Have a good time in Rome.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:29 pm
Im all jealous too also too as well.
Luuuuckeeeee.
July 21st, 2006 at 1:34 pm
How come no one’s using the audio comment thing?
Anyway, this goes out to all y’all….happy Friday…
July 21st, 2006 at 1:42 pm
200.
Charlie ive used it twice. Not on this post, but still.
DO peeps even know about it?
July 21st, 2006 at 1:43 pm
Yay! Charlie poured us a beer.
Soooowheeeeeettt!
July 21st, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Well Charlie is a very sweet man. At least I assume he is.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Chris, don’t make me trot out “ass out of you and me”….
The girls all called me “sweet” in high school, and I got, like, ZERO action
July 21st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
Thats funny. The girls all called me “that wierd stoned guy passed out on the floor”.
Action = zero as well…
…that I remember at least.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:07 pm
Sadly Charlie I think that is the way it works in general. People sleep with the “bad” boys and girls, but marry the “nice” or “sweet” ones. Damn silly if you ask me, but it seems to be one of the few constants in life.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:07 pm
Funny that.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:12 pm
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and say to those girls, “Yeah, I’m a sweet little doormat now, but SOMEDAY I’ll have my own PODCAST and be known as ‘the Beer Guy’ and THEN you’ll want me!”
….Uh…never mind…
July 21st, 2006 at 2:21 pm
The spam filter is taking me away again. In any case…
LOL Charlie. I think that the way it works in general is people sleep with the “bad” boys and girls, but marry the “nice” or “sweet” ones. Damn silly if you ask me, but it seems to be one of the few constants in life.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:24 pm
No ones laughing ditto….
Well, except the ladies…
*sigh*
July 21st, 2006 at 2:41 pm
Tony and Wiccy are giving me fits. Something about you two kids the filter does not like. Somehow Wiccy’s IP address (a BellSouth allocation) was both whitelisted and blacklisted. Samething happened to Tony’s Fanboysmackdown.com domain name. I’ve deleted the blacklists and left the white. Here’s to hoping you don’t cause me any additional work. I’m supposed to be taking the month off, remember?
July 21st, 2006 at 2:41 pm
You have my sympathy, Alvie. I know where you are coming from.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:43 pm
Chris–have you tried Unibroue’s Quelque Chose? I’ve only read about it, but it sounds like a “good” kind of fruit beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:46 pm
Month?
I can’t survive another Wingin’ It Show, last one damn near killed me, literally
July 21st, 2006 at 2:55 pm
I have just realised and I think Brad might have already mentioned it, we are the most downloaded show in Wingin’ It history
July 21st, 2006 at 2:57 pm
I really want to try it out Charlie, but I keep missing it in the stores. But if I find some one day I will send you some.
July 21st, 2006 at 2:59 pm
Are you sure about that Ian? I would think that the pool party would still beat it.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Thanks, Chris!
Congrats, Ian et al.!
July 21st, 2006 at 3:08 pm
You mean your not deaf because of it?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:16 pm
WHAT???? GRATZ!
July 21st, 2006 at 3:16 pm
What?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:18 pm
WHAT!?!?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:26 pm
OK, so my house isn’t the only one where such cheap bad humor reigns supreme…
July 21st, 2006 at 3:34 pm
WHAT?
July 21st, 2006 at 3:36 pm
Ok, I think that joke has got a little bare
July 21st, 2006 at 3:42 pm
Yes…but they ARE posts, and you’ve got over 1000 to go….
July 21st, 2006 at 3:43 pm
See If I hadnt said anything…then we would not have this great comic moment.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:43 pm
Knew I liked you Charlie.
July 21st, 2006 at 3:48 pm
er…ALMOST 1000 to go…stupid math…
July 21st, 2006 at 4:07 pm
math is hard.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:17 pm
Death is easy.
Ooooh, that was dark…..
July 21st, 2006 at 4:19 pm
mmmmm dark beer.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:49 pm
Oooh, I second that. Dark beer good.
July 21st, 2006 at 4:58 pm
…and it sounds like this….
July 21st, 2006 at 6:11 pm
OK, that’s been done before. But geez, no one seems to like to use the Audio Comment option, and there’s the stated goal of 1200 comments…
Somebody else come up with something…
July 21st, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Got to listen to the show today. I thought it was a fantastic effort. Don’t tell Jack, but that was the best doodle EVAH!.
July 21st, 2006 at 6:54 pm
I’m surprised no one took this one…
Count me first in line for Andrea’s ass kicking party. Hurt me, hurt me!
You guys have seen that picture post by now, I expect.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:01 pm
Charlie made a valiant effort with his show number 6 to make a beer drinker out of me. Alas, it appears that it is simply not meant to be for me. The Shiner Bock is widely available around here and I gave it a try. While it was better than the Macrobrew stuff, I just couldn’t get into it.
Charlie does a great show and you should check it out. I still listen as it is a most entertaining show. I’ve come to realize that I must just have sharper taste buds because Charlie and the others describe the macrobrews as tasteless and watery. I find them to be very bitter myself. The Shiner Bock was also very bitter to my taste, so it was really a matter of degree vs. flavor.
I don’t know why this is, but I think it means I’m just going to have to stick with my run and coke (zero) or the occasional Long Island Tea.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:03 pm
I’m curious - we ya’ll able to get clean copies of the bumpers and such from Mennennennega to work with for the show?
July 21st, 2006 at 7:04 pm
Hey, I listened to the show through headphones (Sony in ear sound isolating type) and the level changes didn’t blow my eardrums out!
So, there!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:15 pm
Thanks for the good words, Ed. Sorry we couldn’t get you into the beer-drinking fold. Yet. Keep listening. I’ve still got one or two ideas up my sleeve…
July 21st, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Oh, by the way - as for Stargate SG-1, most of the original actors are still in place, at least on the SG-1 team itself. Some of the supporting roles, like the commanding general and the chief medical officer (I can’t believe they killed her off, the bastards!) have changed, Carter, Teal’c, and Jackson are all still there from the beginning.
July 21st, 2006 at 7:28 pm
Charlie,
I most certainly will. I loved especially the episodes where you had, in turn, Michael and Evo, and managed to surprise both of them with your selections. Good stuff!
July 21st, 2006 at 7:33 pm
Hey there Ed, I assume that Ian still has all of the bumpers, but when will Mike ever need to use one for me? Hehe.
July 21st, 2006 at 8:02 pm
Mike didn’t send me anything as he did exactly what he said he was going to be doing the week before……absolutely nothing. I have to cut them ALL out of previous shows hence why some things were slightly different like:
The First Drink of the Day bumper
No Ending to Scifi Poetry Slam
Brad and Chris bumpers were made entirely by me
July 21st, 2006 at 8:44 pm
and a damn shiny job you did Ian!
July 21st, 2006 at 8:46 pm
nothing to say, but this is comment 250!
July 21st, 2006 at 9:09 pm
and this is 251
July 21st, 2006 at 9:25 pm
You guys have nothing better to do than post comments on a Friday night? What lame-O’s.
*blushes with self-consciousness and whistles tunelessly*
July 21st, 2006 at 9:46 pm
dude……..I’m up working on the PodCulture site. (as best I can anyhow….I suck at this stuff) Posting comments give me a break from trying to figure all this crap out!
July 21st, 2006 at 9:49 pm
Um Charlie cleaning the house for tomorrow’s party. I’d rather be out drinking and new interesting beers, but I want the guests not to be repulsed.
July 22nd, 2006 at 2:11 am
Those are noble causes, gents. Me, I’m having a “campout” with my son to celebrate his looming entrance into kindergarten. Of course, it’s 100-and-stupid outside, so we’re in sleeping bags on the livingroom floor. But at least I AM drinking new and interesting beers (Deschutes’ Inversion IPA and 18th Anniversary Pilsner). Oh, and eating smores.
Well, back to floor…
July 22nd, 2006 at 4:53 am
Damn Charlie, what beer pairs well with smores, cause I gotta try that sometime.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:03 am
I wouldn’t recommend an IPA or a Pilsner…
Next time I’ll go for a nice chewy oatmeal stout, or maybe something quirky like Trois Pistoles or Hair of the Dog’s Adam. Come to think of it, I’ve got some in the fridge, and plenty more smore fixin’s.
Hmmm…I’ll get back to you….
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:09 am
The website got blacklisted? SWEEEEET!
And I thought I’d have had to work a lot hard to make that happen;)
Well, it looks like my internet is back(for now), so maybe the area is stabilizing a bit… now we just need to get to the point of not having to boil water before using it and we’ll be all caught up with the 21st century. (At one point yesterday reports of 2.5 million homes/businesses without power in the region)
But it’s Saturday… I’m back… let’s push this bitch past 1000.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:07 am
w00t!!!! Good job guys. You have over 250 comments! Only 1000 to go.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:11 am
smores and beer for breakfast? sounds like heaven.
“it’s 100-and-stupid outside” I knew there was a reason I didn’t live down there, beautiful day for a beer festival up here though.
http://www.azbeer.com/Flagstaff.htm
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:12 am
we try ditto
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:18 am
Thomas, talk to me in February when you’re freezing your testicles off shoveling driveways while I sip my barleywine in 72 degree bliss.
Have fun and don’t drink too much. Oh, wait, it’s a beer festival. Never mind.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:25 am
I try too!
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:26 am
I can always put on a coat, you go try taking off your skin today.
Besides working in the cold helps you earn the warmth of a good Russian Imperial stout.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:49 am
I like my 4 seasons. It sounds like there are only 3 in Pheonix: Nice, Pretty Warm, and OMFG I’m Baking!
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:53 am
It’s called air conditioning, Thomas. Look into it.
I’m sure KfK is laughing right now, if she’s not hanging out at Stone in the perpetual Mediterranian San Diego climes…
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:16 am
Actually, I’ve identified six seasons, each about 2 months long: spring, spring/summer, blessed-hot-summer, monsoon season, fall/summer, fall. Of the six, only monsoon season (currently in session) truly sucks ass. Notice that winter is nowhere to be found
Shit, I’m talking about weather!
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:18 am
Mwuahahahahaha. It’s all part of my evil plan to derail these comments. Oh, wait. I said that out loud. Crap. Now you know the evil plan. Drat. Now I have to think up a new one?
So, how about that weather!?
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:33 am
Don’t remember talking about the weather during the Fan Show??? :p
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:44 am
WHAT? TAPING A FEATHER TO THE PONCHO? WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

May not be the case for you Charlie but I end up getting physically ill from the changes of AC to hot car to outside to freezing AC in most stores and buildings down there. Besides you can’t get the AC cold enough for me to sleep. That said I have a reputation for having my bedroom window open just a bit in the winter. Russian blood I can throw out the trash in winter in shorts and tshirt but anything much over 85 and I am done.
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:31 am
Look ditto, your weather-talk derailment plan is making a resurgeance!
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:34 am
Charlie!!!
Know if there is a Wingin’ It show today?
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:34 am
All part of the plan, Charlie. All part of the plan.
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:40 am
No, Ian. I believe the show’s on hiatus for the next TWO weeks :(.
Crucial word there is “believe.” I’m going on my last conversation with Mike, but I’m not the official mouthpiece for Draco Vista. Today’s definitely out though.
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:54 am
They don’t have an Official Mouthpiece at all!!!
Good, so I can let the other guys know
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:07 am
Well considering Comic con is on its biggest day…I doubt Mike would be heading home to fuck around on a board.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:11 am
Do we know for sure there is nothing happening today?
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:14 am
well if it dosent happen its not like the world will explode. Best not to get stressed out over such things. woosa woosa.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:44 am
*listens for sounds of world exploding*
Folks could always take the time they WOULD be listening to the feed and devote it to leaving comments on show 69. 921 comments aren’t going to post themselves, ya know.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:48 am
So very true Charlie. Now I have a question for you. How is it that you don’t end up being filtered away by the spam filter? I’ve had problems with it after posting just 3 messages within an hour.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:54 am
No clue, Chris. I just hit “submit comment” and the magic internet faries do the rest.
July 22nd, 2006 at 11:56 am
That’s “fairies”
July 22nd, 2006 at 12:04 pm
Lucky bloke. The fairies seem to be all bad to me.
July 22nd, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Techno-fairies are fickle little buggers.
Well I’m off to see Monster House in 3-D with my little geek-in-training.
I expect the post count to top 300 by the time I return. At this rate, 1200 will be achieved by…I dunno…Lent or so?
July 22nd, 2006 at 12:37 pm
Sir, yes sir! Come on people help a little lady out.
July 22nd, 2006 at 1:15 pm
Lady? Where?
July 22nd, 2006 at 1:16 pm
Oooh, them’s be fighting’ words
July 22nd, 2006 at 3:23 pm
TWO comments? TWO?
I detect the not-so-subtle stench of failure around this 1200 project.
BTW, Monster House in 3D is not a great call for a 5-year-old, at least based on the first 10 minutes, which is all we saw.
Off to drink beer and swim…
July 22nd, 2006 at 4:10 pm
I keep getting picked off by the spam filter, I think it hates me. Or my IP.
And in case it works this time. Brad. You. Are. In. Trouble.
July 22nd, 2006 at 4:59 pm
Charlie, if there’s one thing you can learn from the BCs its that you’ve gotta keep talking and never say die. So no talk of failure! Talk of victory instead!
Unless you’d rather let Mangan have the last laugh. Do you want that?
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:38 pm
Since when has Mr. Deadpan been able to laugh, much less get the last one?
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:39 pm
It’s not looking too promising for the that 1200 post front. I’ve been away for almost 24 hours now (you know, life sometimes gets in the way of being able to post), and there’s only about 40 more comments from my last check in.
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:40 pm
Guess we’re going to have to find new ways to motivate the masses around here.
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:42 pm
Speaking of the episode - any chance we can get a writup somewhere on those snowcone recipes? Some of them sounded promising, but I couldn’t pick up all the ingredients from the audio.
July 22nd, 2006 at 5:43 pm
Oh, and Ian - Damn fine work with those bumpers. I suspected that you had to rip them out of an existing episode.
Note to Mennennga - next time there’s going to be guest hosts, give them a fighting chance and send them clean bumpers!!!!!!
July 22nd, 2006 at 6:13 pm
For what it’s worth, I’m enjoying a rum and coke zero now. I’m not enough of an alcohol snob, well alright, I know jack shit about alcohol….uh, what am I trying to say?
Oh, right. The rum is Bacardi. Is that considered “good” by the elitists or am I drinking the equivalent of a Bud Light?
What Rum do the almighty wise ones recommend?
July 22nd, 2006 at 6:59 pm
Am I all alone here tonight?
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:01 pm
BTW - Did I post too much and crash a server. For a good 20 minutes or so, I couldn’t get a response out of this or Slice. Actually, Slice is still down.
Ah well, if some new random musing comes to me, I’ll add it to the stream here.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:02 pm
But, I don’t think I’m going to be able to pull the 1200 posts on my own.
Throw me a freakin bone, people.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:11 pm
well, here is one. I will talk to Eliz and see about getting a write up on the sno-cone recipes. Personally, I can’t wait to try out The Tardis.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:12 pm
And personally, I like the Captain Morgan rum. It is some of the best. I particularly like the coconut rum.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:29 pm
Ed: Slice is down for me too.
As for getting comments up…here’s the deal. I’m going to take a picture of myself without my shirt on doing a sexy pose and then I’ll release it on the internet unless absolutely every single Wingin’ It listener posts a comment here in the next hour. You’ve been warned.
July 22nd, 2006 at 7:32 pm
Chris,
That would be most excellent!
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:11 pm
and all of Ed’s comments count as 2. not that I really care about this “contest”.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:18 pm
Hey Ed, Chris, and any other folks checking the site (come on lurkers, grow a spine and leave a comment!)
I’m basking in the glow of a great pool party. Not WI level intensity, but just good times w/friends I haven’t seen in a while.
I’m a fan of lost causes, my “failure” comment aside. I think that whoever feels like it should throw show 69 a comment whenever the mood strikes. There’s not time limit right? And what show number more worthy of a more-or-less infinite number of comments? I’m thinking of Shawshank Redemption where the guy dug out of prison with a teaspoon. It just takes time…
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:26 pm
Now that’s the spirit!
It’s hard to beat having a simple good time with friends.
Although, these days, most of my good times seem to involve doing something with my kids. They are a lot of work and a whole lot of headaches, but I wouldn’t trade these times for anything.
July 22nd, 2006 at 8:46 pm
Yeah, tonight I was floating in the pool in an inflatable kids raft, with my son Dane resting on my chest, and he looked up at the clouds and said, “That one looks like Godzilla ’90’s, and that one looks like Megaguirus…”
I took a sip from my cup of beer and thought, “This is it..”‘
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:38 pm
Well I would have been commenting a bit more today, but I’ve been wrapped up in rebuilding and relaunching the PodCulture.net website. That has really been tedious and draining.
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:38 pm
I comment therefore I am
July 22nd, 2006 at 9:39 pm
I’m old…it’s late….I’m off to bed.
July 22nd, 2006 at 10:13 pm
‘Night Brad!
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:16 am
To be honest about the whole comments thing, I just think it is cool that we even got past the maximum number of comments left on any WI show. So personally any more comments from here on out are gravy, and if we never hit 1200 well, that will be ok.
I wonder what the people had to say to generate 1200 comments on the Deadpan podcast page. Must wander over and see.
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:13 am
Hey, Chris. It helps to embrace your inner insanity.
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:26 am
Here’s the thing: 1200, 1,200,000, it matters not. Just keep show 69 alive indefinitely, and the numbers will take care of themselves.
So Smartie Hottie, if you’re listening in Rome, you’d be proud of me. At some point in last night’s get-together, I actually switched from beer to vodka.
I’m now remembering why I’m a “Beer Guy” and not a “Hard Liquor Guy”.
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:33 am
::: shudder :::: Vodka……….had a three day hangover from that stuff once. To this day….can’t drink it.
July 23rd, 2006 at 9:02 am
A Gin and Tonic hangover is much, much worse.
July 23rd, 2006 at 9:17 am
But the king of them all…..cheap tequila.
Blechhhhhhhh
July 23rd, 2006 at 10:36 am
w00t! There are now more comments here than over at Deadpan.
July 23rd, 2006 at 10:56 am
I couldn’t make it past the first three minutes, this show sounded like complete shit. All that hissing, and the tinny voices had me wanting to jam an ice pick in my ear. It would have sounded better if it had been recorded on an 8-track with tin cans and strings…
You can blow off the criticism by saying something stupid like “hey, it’s wingin’ it, so that’s what we did” but you’re just lying to yourself and making excuses. It sounded like complete shit, and it shouldn’t have been released. Hell, it would have been better to listen to even if it sounded like it was recorded through a pillow like Tee Morris’s survival guide ‘cast does most of the time.
Better luck next time. Learn from the criticism, don’t make exuses.
July 23rd, 2006 at 11:48 am
Over three hundred comments in, and there’s an actual show comment! Way to stay on task, Spork!
July 23rd, 2006 at 1:40 pm
BTW….had you hung on with it a bit more the sound did even out (or so I think) and got better. (or maybe I just got used to it) Either way….you missed out on a fun time.
July 23rd, 2006 at 1:42 pm
Charlie and Ditto……nope that Vodka hangover was the worst, I don’t what y’all say…… I don’t think ANYTHING would have beaten that! I was hurting for days.
July 23rd, 2006 at 1:51 pm
The sound definitely did improve from the beginning. I do think having to have ripped the bumpers from a previous episodes and recompressing an already compressed audio stream probably contributed a lot to that. You could definitely tell a difference between the quality of the bumper audio vs. the show content.
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Now to go back off topic again - I’ve spent most of today trying to recover a failed hard drive. I’ve got some backups, but it’s still a pretty big hit. I lost a good bit of email and, more importantly, my Itunes database. I had ratings made for about 70% of my 3300+ track library and now it looks like I’ll have to start that over.
I know files can be recovered from an Ipod, but what about the database, like ratings, playlists, etc.? I’ll be doing some research on that one. Since it’s all in my Ipod somewhere, I’m hopeful it won’t be a total loss.
The real pisser is that I’ve had the exact same failure twice within less than a year. Back at the beginning of the year, I had a drive corrupt in the same way as this one. Back then, I was able to recover my Itunes and email. I got a new drive and now only six months later, the same things happens.
This suggests that it’s not the drives that have been going bad. I check regularlry for viruses and such, so I’m doubtful it was an infection. I suspect bad ram, processor, or motherboard at this point.
I’ve given up on that machine altogether. Now, I’m doing the unthinkable. I’m buying an HP instead of building a machine from scratch. I’ve found a good deal. It won’t be the hard core gaming rig, although a video card upgrade down the road could fix that. But, at this stage, I just don’t have the time to game like I used to anyway. With the kids, I spend more time editing photos and videos and this new machine will work better than my dead one.
So, my posting is probably going to be intermittent for a while as I have to convince the wife to let me borrow her machine (or wait until she’s napping, like now).
The real suckage is that I have to go back to loading up podcasts on my USB drive and listening them through my work PC. I’ll try to keep up as best I can.
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:01 pm
Oh, and there is no such thing as good Tequila, IMHO.
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:14 pm
I’m not going to respond to those comments in the way I want to; god knows I would lose the place. Sorry for it not being to everyone likes but I had issues and if you can’t accept that then don’t bother listening. I can appreciate constructive criticism but if your going to just sit their and berate everything I have done, then your no better than honestly how the show sounded
I had technical issues, work issues and another couple of problems, but if people went in expecting a Draco Vista audio quality show then that was indeed their downfall. I’m hoping that maybe the idea of the audio quality of my show being terrible will only encourage people to recognise the work that Mike & Farpoint Media does…..for free I must iterate.
Sure everyone knows this but I thought it would be best to put them out on the table, since someone has decided to throw rocks at the table.
I thank you for your constructive criticism from your post most of which has been mentioned but please do not just complain about it in such a way to brand my job as terrible or as such things.
The show was great apart from audio quality and if you can only state the bad things, then you have indeed missed a one of a kind show!
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:37 pm
Ahhh, technology…the modern convenience we all love to hate, usually with good reason. Sorry to hear about your troubles, Ed.
And notice I said “cheap” tequila, not “bad” tequila. My experiences with the former have pretty much turned all tequila into the latter.
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Ian, you guys deserve props just for doing what you did. If it had been an hour of dog farts, it would still be keeping the WI spirit going.
BTW, it was much, much funnier than an hour of dogfarts (which would, come to think of it, be pretty fricken funny).
July 23rd, 2006 at 2:47 pm
Oh, and whatever happened to independent podcasting being about the content not the techno-audio slickness? Why are people even talking about the audio quality of show 69?
It was a funny WI show patched together from all over the freekin’ world, showing off how the planet is shrinking so that we can all come together and engage in lowbrow humor.
That kind of thing brings a tear to my eye *sniff*
July 23rd, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Thanks Charlie!
And the following is NOT a dig towards anyone who has made a negative comment at all: I think that (for the most part) folks who critize the quality of podcast in general do not understand just how much work DOES go into producing a show. (esp if one has sub-standard equipment like I do) if they were to really know how difficult it CAN be then they might not be so quick to critize.
Speaking for myself since I’ve started producing my own show, I tend to cut podcasters (esp beginning shows) a lot of slack audio-wise, since I know what all goes into a show now.
Anyhow that’s just my two cents, take of it as you wish.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:02 pm
Ian, you can eat a candy bar outta my ass. You actively lost me within the first three minutes because I could barely hear shit above the terrible hissing crap audio quality.
No, I will not cut you, or anybody, slack just because it’s free. Paris Hilton has a song on the radio, which is free, and you know what? It sounds like shit. Over-hyped pop-glam shit, but shit it is. The pricetag has not one damned thing to do with quality. Charlie, would you drink a fine Belgian beer filtered through a dirty sweat sock? Nope, neither would I.
You gave it a go, great. It sucked donkey balls and I couldn’t be bothered to try and listen to a bunch of um-casters through a storm of static hissing and low-quality microphones…not so great. I’m telling you the truth, your show was garbage in my ears. You feel like doing this again? Practice first, and fix what was broken in this endeavor, stop whining and making excuses for a sub-par production.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:27 pm
Spork, stop being a troll. We get it. It’s time to move on.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:31 pm
Congrats Spork..I think youve shown youre age. Im guessing youre what….15…17…around that right?
I wasnt a fan of the production, but I can also understand why it may have been like that. What I dont understand is your need to use pointless language, that honestly makes you seem like an idiot.
I listened to the whole thing, becasue you cant give an honest critique on three minutes.
No one really takes the “advice” of an asshole. Ill leave with something you might understand however: Fuck off.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:32 pm
By the way, the candy bar is a Violet Crumble. It’s very tasty, just don’t let the ass hair and poop stink disuade you. Once you get past it, it’s very delicious…
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:35 pm
Simple rule: Don’t feed trolls.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:35 pm
Sorry, I just remembered this bit.
Ian: “The show was great apart from audio quality…”
You do realize, don’t you, that this was an AUDIO show, right? Mmmkay?
Your comment was akin to something along the lines of “other than that, how’d you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:38 pm
Wow, you sure seem to be bitter about the fact that it didn’t work out as well as you had hoped. I wonder how well you would have managed when you had edited an episode just to have a computer crash and data loss.
Now, I want to make sure I understood you correctly. You seem to think that we are all bad podcasters. Apparently Ian’s problems getting the sound to work out right means that we are no good as podcasters? Hmmm, I am going to say this as nicely as I can…you listened to all of 3 minutes, how can you even tell?
This being said, we have made notes on how to make it better in any future attempts.
Maybe you will like any of those episodes better.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:38 pm
Sure, sure. Call me a troll. Even with stupidity like this:
Ian: “The show was great apart from audio quality…”
You do realize, don’t you, that this was an AUDIO show, right? Mmmkay?
Your comment was akin to something along the lines of “other than that, how’d you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?”
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:40 pm
And while I was trying to craft my reply ditto and Jason C. managed to say everything I wanted to say. Thanks guys.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:42 pm
Amazing Jason and Chris. Truly amazing.
This show has, on average, more F-bombs than 40 Year-Old Virgin being shown between movies at a Kevin Smith film festival, and you object to my language?
Right back atcha, snuggles.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:48 pm
Spork: So it’s ok to offer critisism in an offensive manner, but if someone calls you a troll you are offended?
Mr. Pot, meet kettle.
I rest my case. You are a troll.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:49 pm
And if you really don’t like it, wait for the regular show, or tune in elsewhere. I’ve got nothing further to say to you.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:51 pm
To be honest I could care less about the language that you use to say that you hate the show. You hated the show. Good enough.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Just finished listening to this episode and might I say “Well done!”
Well done!
This was good fun, jam-packed with plenty of heart, and I was enjoying it from opening to closing. You guys rose to the challenge and you gave us a show.
Snakes on a mutha-fuckin’ plane…you all are totally \A/!
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:52 pm
Ummm..yeah…
Lovin’ the useful, honest, constructive criticism. Now I’m off to drink a fine Belgian beer through a dirty sweat sock. Adds a certain je ne sai quoi.
By the way, Tony’s “Doodle” was mint. Has anyone ever seen him and Jack Mangan in the same room? Cuz I’m thinking they’re the same guy.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Who says I’m offended? I just think you’re a couple of hypocritical asses is all.
I have no reason to be nice. I was led to expect a very interesting show. What I got was enough audio crap to disuade me from taking a bite of the candy bar, so to speak…
Too bad none of you enjoy hearing the truth of the matter. The next time M&E head off somewhere, let’s just have a best-of show, okay? This listener show just wasn’t worth finishing.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:54 pm
Thanks Tee. I’m really glad you liked it and I am sure the others will be happy to hear some good news.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:56 pm
My sarcasm wasn’t for you, Tee…it was a timing thing..
*SLUUUUUUUURP*
Love that Chimay Blue and toe cheese!
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Well, I suppose this is one way to get the post count up.
You know Spork, I used to think nothing was too low class for the Wingin It space. I see now I was wrong.
While it’s certainly the case that the podcasts with higher production values (i.e. bigger budgets for hardware and people with backgrounds in broadcast recording) probably rise to the top of the ratings, ultimately the theory of podcasting is that you need a microphone, a computer, and an idea. I listen to a lot of podcasts whose audio quality doesn’t even measure up to this WI episode. Ultimately, the content is king and that’s what keeps me hooked on the multitude of podcasts that I listen to. The ones I’ve dropped haven’t been because of audio quality (most of them had very high production values), but because the content just didn’t cut it for me.
It’s just your loss that your sensitive ears couldn’t get past the first couple of minutes. You missed out on some of WI’s best content. The rest of us didn’t.
BTW - Yes, Spork, you are a troll.
July 23rd, 2006 at 6:58 pm
Now that I’ve got the niceties out of the way…
“Hell, it would have been better to listen to even if it sounded like it was recorded through a pillow like Tee Morris’s survival guide ‘cast does most of the time.”
Damn, Spork…bustin’ my balls on a different podcast’s blog? SHIT YEAH!!!
HEY, GANG — I HAVE ARRIVED!!!

July 23rd, 2006 at 7:01 pm
Charlie: Not a worry. Not an issue. I’m fashionably late to this party where Spork is bogarting the chips and dip. I understood the hostility was not directed to me, but thanks for the clarification…
…but if you’re a really good friend, you’ll buy me a really good beer next time i’m in town.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:02 pm
Oh, and I think those who did finish the show will agree that this one deserves a spot in the Major Events section of the Wikipedia article. If somebody doesn’t beat me to it, I’ll try to get it added in the next week or so.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Hey, Tee! Welcome to the boost the comment party. Enjoy the stinky beer.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:10 pm
Ditto: Yeah…reminds me of the time I showed up late to a marching band party. There was beer in the cooler, or so I was told what was in the cooler was beer. I pulled out the ice cold can and read its white and red label…
Shaeffer’s.
I didn’t know this beer, so I figured I’d pop the top and give it a try.
“The horror. The horror.”
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:12 pm
Damn, Tee, I was about to say next time you’re in town I’ll buy you some Schaeffer’s. Guess it’ll have to be Schimdt or Blatz instead!
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:17 pm
What’s wrong with PBR? Especially if it’s left out in the sun for too long. Mmmmm, warm beer.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:18 pm
ditto, you’ve got issues. Beer issues.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Ditto…
Show me on the doll where the bad beer touched you.
July 23rd, 2006 at 7:21 pm
You know. That place.

Naw, I listen to BOC while drinking my *non* crappy beer.
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:17 pm
So we’ve hit beer, child abuse, and ’70’s metal in just the last five or ten posts…what’ll be going on by comment #1500?
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:36 pm
Oh… I’m sure we can think of something. There’s enough inspiration from the Bunk cast and others that I’m sure something will pop up. ;P
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:48 pm
>>>what’ll be going on by comment #1500?
I’m thinking by then Spork will have had an stroke from all the support the four of us are getting from you guys! Thanks a ton!
BTW Spork……I don’t gice a rat’s ass what you say about me or the quality of what I do, but don’t f**k with my friends. Karen, Chris, Ian, and Christina are all my friends (well OK Christina’s a lot more than that) I may have never met Tee in person, but his show has some great content, and in chatting with him, he seems like an good guy too.
If you don’t like the shows….fine, great, no need to be a complete prick about it. There are PLENTY of other podcasts out there….PLEASE by all means, take yourself somwhere else to be entertained. Heck…I’ll make you an offer…..if you think you can do better in creating a show, by all means do so, and I will personally host the file for you, and publish it for all the world to hear. How’s that? Are you up for the challange or are you just talking out of your ass?
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:50 pm
>>>…but if you’re a really good friend, you’ll buy me a really good beer next time i’m in town.
Well I’ll be seeing ya at D*C just maybe the PodCulture crew can stretch it’s drinking budget to include one for you.
July 23rd, 2006 at 8:50 pm
Whoops….that last cooent of mine was for Tee

I missed a troll? Damn it, they’re entertaining! I wanted to tell him that I’d ring his mother if he didn’t shutup just to see what he would’ve said. And as anyone from SOz will know that’s one threat I follow through on (I’ve seen some really stupid trolls in my time).
Ian, Karen, Brad, Chris: I reckon you guys did a beaut job in making a Wingin’ It that was completely different (in a good way) while still being the same show we know and love, and you made it entertaining and funny. I salute you.
And in case you’re reading, Spork: everyone else who commented here was able to sit through the entire episode, and they’re all used to the great quality that M&E churn out every week. So the audio quality wasn’t professional quality, but they were doing this with far fewer resources and with the hosts scattered across the globe, and they turned out a very listenable and very entertaining product. If you could do better in the same situation then please, be my guest, but if not, then cut the crap. They don’t deserve it.
July 24th, 2006 at 2:42 am
WOAH!!!
The post count has really went up
And thank you all that has defended the show, I’ve admitted I had issues with the audio quaility and I can’t apologize enough about it but I hated the idea that someone who just continually rip to shreds for no apparent reason.
You know what this is a one of a kind show. The most downloaded this year, the most comments in Wingin’ It history and Our First Complaint from a Retard.
We’re on a roll here!!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 4:03 am
TRS, nothing to apologize for. I think it’s clear from the bulk of the comments that consensus is favorable regarding the results of y’all’s efforts.
Maybe I should send Spork some Lone Star. Is that suitably tortuous, Charlie?
July 24th, 2006 at 5:17 am
Gawd….someone shoot me now…this migraine is killing me! But on the plus side I get to stay home from work…..thus allowing me to commant some more today.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:26 am
Not at work
Get on Skype now Brad, need to see you about something. I’ll be on for about an hour after this post
July 24th, 2006 at 5:42 am
Brad, be careful what you say around here. People might take a statement like “someone shoot me now” a little too literally.
Hope you feel better soon.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:47 am
Ian let me tell you .. I thought the ep was great. Were there some audio issues…yeah. Are they a major problem…not at all. I commend you for taking this under your wing (pun not intended) and I think you did one kickass job that you should be proud of. I had a comment when I did the sobriety test that it was crap. Someone was very harsh and very destructive in his comments in IRC. But people like that fail to understand the time and energy it takes to be creative time and time again. You should be commended for your effort and your willingness to take this massive project on in the first place.
As to the naysayer out there…I’d like to see you do better. No. Seriously. Go ahead! - Take on this podcast, all of it’s contributors, all of it’s fans, all of the expectations that have been built up, buy yourself thousands of dollars worth of computers, mics, mixers, and software, get a group of 4 people together, get some beer, and run the show. Then go edit and finish it. Untill you do that…don’t go being an ass to a fellow fan who took this on voluntarily. At least he had the courage to step out and put it on the line.
It’s a lot easier to sit in the shadows and criticise…but until you until you DO go put it on the line…save your destructive criticism for somewhere else.
July 24th, 2006 at 5:49 am
Lone Star, Ed? I *almost* feel sorry for “Mr. Plastic Utensil That’s Not Quite A Spoon Nor Is It Really A Fork Either”. Almost.
July 24th, 2006 at 6:03 am
Sorry ’bout the migrane Brad. At least you’ve got a day off. Not quite a “snow day” but still…
Word up, Paul! Testify!
So I think we got it clear: ep 69 was a fun little experiment pulled off admirably by brave and foolish souls that sounded, at absolute worst, like the phone interevies routinely done on Slice and C2C. And Spork’s a dork.
There, someone had to say it.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:46 am
Charlie…..actually I think we sounded better than the last interview on Slice. The Anthony Michael Hall interview sounded horrid. Of course it was the gang chatting to him while he was on a cell phone on the busy streets of New York. Had I turned away because of the audio quality……I would have missed a heck of an interview. Quality does not always reflect content.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:49 am
>>>As to the naysayer out there…I’d like to see you do better.
Paul: I would too…..that’s why I made the offer to host and publish his file. That way he can show us all how much better he can do. Odd…..he hasn’t bothered to take me up on it though…..wonder why?
July 24th, 2006 at 7:52 am
“It’s a lot easier to sit in the shadows and criticise…but until you until you DO go put it on the line…save your destructive criticism for somewhere else.”
Jesus Christ! I cannot fucking believe Jason is getting this kind of fucking grief for giving his honest thougts! Not like he came out and said is was terrible…not like he came out and personally attacked Ian, or Karen or Brad or anyone. And its not like hes “in the shadows” either. Jesus fuck. “Destructive critisism”. If no one is willing to say thier honest thoughts then theres no chance in improving on the product. I for one commend Jason for his thoughts and not just sucking the collective dicks of the crew.
Not that theres anything wrong with your collective dick… Im sure its beautiful.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:53 am
Alvie, I think you missed Spork’s comments, which is what Brad is referring to.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:58 am
Oh look! Im an ass! I thought we were still on Jason C’s case and not this “Spork” guy. Guess thats what I get for coming into the conversation late and being hung over. I agree, there is critisism that is helpful and critisism that is harmful. This guy seems to be full of the latter. Yeah, theres stuff that worked and stuff that didnt in the ep, but even if it was complete and utter shit (which it wasnt) youd still have to give props to the crew for at least venturing into uncharted territory. For that at least, you do have my respect.
Shit, Im sorry for the mix up…please send your hatemail to Alvie in Boulder, um, c/o Michael and Evo….
July 24th, 2006 at 8:01 am
No problem, dude. It can happen to anyone.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:05 am
Hey ditto! Look! Im as ass!
Wait, whats a GRE equivalent word for “ass”? Boorish comes to mind…
July 24th, 2006 at 8:06 am
Alvie….Nah we are all cool with Jason, don’t worry about that.
>>>This guy seems to be full of the latter
no Spork is fulla s**t.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:18 am
Brad you can say “shit” here! No one is gonna look down on ya! Watch…
Shitty shit shitter.
See?
Why are you all looking down on me…?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:21 am
What the fuck are you talking about Alvie?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:29 am
>>> Brad you can say “shit� here! No one is gonna look down on ya!
Dude….I’m freaking short! I’m 5′5″ EVERYONE looks “down” on me!
As for the s**t deal…..maybe it’s just my conservative upbringing (GASP…yeah I am a conservative) but I just don’t feel comfortable with cursing unless really needed, and it would be a wast to use a curse on a dufus like Spork.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:31 am
Charlie - Amen Brother!!
Brad - Because Spork is all talk, no action and we’re calling him to the mat? Just a guess
Alvie - Yeah was talking about spork. I didn’t see Jeremy’s comments about it way back, no worries and sorry ’bout the mix up.
But as a side note there’s an interesting comparison between Jeremy’s comments and Spork’s. While they both critique the same thing, Jeremy is actually constructive and worth the discussion.
I’m pointing this out, not because we missed it…but because Spork could use a lesson in providing useful feedback.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:37 am
Brad: I’m short too. And don’t worry: I can cuss enough for the both of us.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:42 am
LOL….thanks ditto
July 24th, 2006 at 8:45 am
Fuck an A!
So, wait. Mr Brad, totally understand. But do you object to when other people cuss for no other reason than just to do it? Cause…I kinda live for that.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:57 am
Alvie…..honestly it depends upon the context of the conversation, and the degree of cursing. Yeah if it’s occasional f-bomb or the like no biggie, (I’m not that big of a prude) but if it just cursing, for the sake (or shock value) of cursing….I just don’t see the need.
July 24th, 2006 at 9:03 am
*awakes from beer induced coma*
More Bastard, need more bastard. Our homebrew club was across the hall from the Stone brewery, so when ever our cups ran dry we would either have the Fat Tire(1554 yum) guys right next to us or the Stone guys give us a refill. Nothing like cutting a whole line of folks and saying “I am an Arrogant Bastard and I need more beer” The Stone folks would smile and start pouring. It was heaven. Sadly though no Ruination IPA.
July 24th, 2006 at 9:14 am

Fuck Paris Hilton and her stupid goddamn “reggae” record.

Ho no!1 Here come Gojira!
Oh lookat! It Mowthra.. What do now?!

July 24th, 2006 at 9:51 am
I just got back from dropping my son off for his first day of kindergarten. I bring this up because he’s been known to correct friends (gently, of course), with “It’s Gojira, not Godzilla. Oh and it’s Mosura, not Mothra”. He listens to the “Best of…” soundtrack and can identify the movie each music piece is from. He’s in deep, let me tell ya.
And don’t get him started on Thunderbirds….

July 24th, 2006 at 9:58 am
Hey Charlie! Did you see I used audio comments a week before you wanted?
Damn Im 1337.
Wa? Oh Monaliza! Buiruding more must buird!

Ok, so, I’m at work. Lets see if I can post now, since the filters don’t apparently like me posting from home.
July 24th, 2006 at 10:04 am
Now that I’ve gotten that established, I want to toss in my two cents about Spork.
I’m personally pissed off. Not by his comments, but for the fact that he didn’t listen long enough to listen to ‘Doodle’. I wanted to see what kind of brilliant and insightful commentary he could give on my submission.
July 24th, 2006 at 10:05 am
Go Jason! I was beginning to think the Audio comment thing was a collective hallucination Alvie and I were having.
Now someone get these purple monkeys out of the comment box. You all see them, right?
July 24th, 2006 at 10:08 am
*channels Spork*
And that suck suck Doodle of the Fates totally shit sucked. It’s “Duel” you shitter shit shits. I didn’t listen past the first syllable. Shit fuck fucky-fuck.
*back to me*
How’s that Tony?

It funny I wondered why this happened when Spork posted here:
(play Audio to find out)
July 24th, 2006 at 10:46 am
Brad I commend you. My name has been misspelled in many ways, but “Alivie” is a first… you mind if I steal that?
July 24th, 2006 at 10:48 am
LOL…sure. That must be a side effect of mixing migraine meds, allergy meds, and a fracking ton of good rootbeer.

How does one say that?

Which only adds to the irony that I can suddenly neither see nor play the Audio’s on any of the posts! Like *blink* they’re gone? WTF?
July 24th, 2006 at 10:55 am
Here’s something that shows how I feel about Ian working his ass off for show 69 and Spork being a royal prick.
July 24th, 2006 at 10:59 am

I spend a good chunk of my work day on the phone on hold.
July 24th, 2006 at 4:26 pm
And here comes the really geeky part of me
Brad, the small audio comment that was attached to one of your posts.
Season 2, Episode no I can’t remember, Episode name : Bane
O’Neil asks to knock off Maybourne’s head after being giving permission to take Teal’c to a facility because of his illness
July 24th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
Ian, yeah I thought that was fitting after Spork’s comments. I find it funny that he’s chickened out, and won’t rise to the challange. After all if our show was so bad then he should be able to beat it hands down right? LOL…guess not!
July 24th, 2006 at 4:43 pm
Brad, being a troll is about sniping at folks with enough cajones to actually DO something.
And Ian…I mentioned earlier that I’m at home on summer break from teaching. I’ve embraced the 1200 goal as a way to get me through this time of huddling inside against the 115 F (46 C he says channeling Mason Rocket/Lech Carson) summer heat.
If that sounds like I have no life, let’s remember who’s recognizing snipppets from Stargate SG-1
July 24th, 2006 at 4:44 pm
and the stupid thing was that, instead of reacting to the comment you made my brain went off and tried to remember what episode that was.
Eventually it hit me when I recognised Maybourne’s voice
July 24th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
Thanks Charlie
I guess I am more of a geek when it comes to Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis!!!
Which of course is a little bit of an understatement, you think?
July 24th, 2006 at 4:50 pm
1) I am so pissed about that Doodle of the Fates Special Edition!!!!! Just kidding. Seriously - I’m flattered and honored to hear DotF parodied (that makes 2!). Nice job, Tony!
2) I’ve been reading through these comments a bit. . . Thanks for the positive vibes, y’all. (dammit, I move to AZ and start using the non-word, “y’all”). This is a big community — we bust each other’s chops sometimes, but we never slag on each other. Unless there are IPAs involved. . . .
3) Hey — nice job with the show, guys. Good conversation, good times. You should all have your own podcasts!
4) Woo hoo — over 500 comments — let’s kick Deadpan’s ass!!! Oh wait a minute. . . .
July 24th, 2006 at 4:56 pm
517 — Getting close to the halfway mark!
July 24th, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Jack - They all do except me or did you manage to miss the entire segment after the First Drink of the Day
July 24th, 2006 at 5:04 pm
And we still have 6 more days to go before the next Wingin’ it
July 24th, 2006 at 6:49 pm
Meal times don’t seem to be that good to ol’ show 69. Guess that makes sense…
Things have stopped over on the Deadpan site too. So I’ve heard. Not that I lurk there.
*more tuneless whistling*
July 24th, 2006 at 6:50 pm
But we can jump start it here and get back on our way to 1200
July 24th, 2006 at 6:52 pm
things havent been so hot at Deadpan, cuase the heart and soul was visiting Rome.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Apparently Jack’s deadpan was just too subtle for TRS, I fear.
Wow, somebody’s been busy today. I make one post this morning before work and I see a good 200 more now. Fine, fine job.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
Alright, help a brotha out. I’m up on an old laptop now so I can at least surf until my new machine comes in. On this one, I can’t see the play buttons for any of the audio comments. So, naturally, I can’t enjoy the pithy commentary you guys are adding. I’ve got the basic firefox install. What do I need - java?
July 24th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
If we don’t break the Deadpan number fair enough but I intend to make a new record on Wingin’ It so large that it will never be beaten and will go down in its history
July 24th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
Oh, and how does the audio comment bit work? Do you upload a prerecorded file, or do you record on the fly in the browser? I just might give it a show myself.
Never mind - I clicked the “insert audio comment” button and see that it does record in the browser. I’ll have to get another rum and coke and plug in the microphone later.
Onward to 1200. Never give up, Never surrender!
July 24th, 2006 at 7:13 pm
Ed, this morning (’bout 150 posts ago) my Audio Comments just winked out. I keep waiting for them to reappear, but so far, nada. So maybe it’s not just your laptop’s fault.
As to the east coast/west coast…errr, WI/DP thing. I like to laugh. WI makes me laugh. DP makes me laugh. People leaving assloads of funny comments makes me laugh.
So if this is a competition, I WIN!
July 24th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
After all the crap I have endured last week, Mike decides to take another week off and it all continues to fall on me
Thanks Mike
July 24th, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Ed- to be able to listen to the comments..you need Flash installed.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:19 pm
Damn Brad left that Stargate clip which I though was hilarious even though I had the answer for it like three mins after hearing it
July 24th, 2006 at 7:25 pm
That Stargate moment was one of those times were you should kick the guy in the nuts, have someone stand on his neck and then tattoo the words ‘SAD BASTARD’ into his forehead
July 24th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
For your amusement folks……A little blooper from a childhood TV show
July 24th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
and another:
July 24th, 2006 at 7:34 pm
WTF!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 7:38 pm
and now for something completely different………ripped from an audio commantary of a SG1 DVD:
July 24th, 2006 at 7:41 pm
and here is the rest since it kinda cut off there.
July 24th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
I have to admit, I don’t remember that at all
July 24th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
The Stargate theme is DAMN funny! Who’s singing? Michael Shanks and Christopher Judge? I _knew_ they were having too much fun on that show!
July 24th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
Normally just the quiet observer, but another post to help reach the goal.
Remember, the goal is 1200. We can all do it. Do it for the Kids!
(ok, now you know why I’m normally a quiet observer)
July 24th, 2006 at 7:56 pm
Same here, probably cause I have not seen your name on here before……Dwango that is before Tee’s ego explodes
Join in, god knows we’re all screwed up as it is
July 24th, 2006 at 7:56 pm
P.S. Nice shows guys!
July 24th, 2006 at 7:57 pm
Is Michael Shanks?
I can hear Christopher Judge quite clearly but I am not entirely sure if it is Jackson
July 24th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
Alright, Brad. I recognized the Thundercats one and the Stargate ones, but what was the fucking second one from? I couldn’t recognize any of the voices on the craptop’s built-in speakers.
Oh, and I can now play the audio comments. I bet we get more audio comments in this thread than Deadpan does.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:03 pm
You recognised the Thundercats one?
[sarcasm]I could make out what it was with them saying ‘Thundercats’ three times [/sarcasm]
July 24th, 2006 at 8:04 pm
And of course, being that its 4am in the morning, I managed to screw up that sarcasm remark damn me for being so good
July 24th, 2006 at 8:07 pm
“And we still have 6 more days to go before the next Wingin’ it”
Wait, so if you get 1200 on this post and its 2 week betwees shows, youre still gonna count it as “Victory over Mangan”? Even tho you had an extra week? WTF???? Am I confused or just wrong?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:08 pm
actually BOTH of the first ones were Thundercats related. I found some audio bloopers from the show awhile back.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:09 pm
Of course, has their been another show since then? And did you set the record for between shows?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:14 pm
and another SG1 clip:
July 24th, 2006 at 8:15 pm
Its not there
July 24th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
You know, I could have 1200 posts at Speaking of Beer, but they’re all from people witn names like “Online Xanax”, “Mature Porn”, “Poker Chips” and “Reupholstering Dining Room Chair” and “Jailbird Hotties”
I really gotta get a spam filter….
(OK, I made that last one up!)
July 24th, 2006 at 8:19 pm
I wondered about that one
I suppose if Andrea were to do something wrong in Rome then she would essentialy qualify for that
July 24th, 2006 at 8:25 pm
i know…having upload issue with the Java client. Try this mis mash of stuff:
July 24th, 2006 at 8:27 pm
“Mind if I barge in sir” - O’Neill said that when General Hammond was recieving a report on something, it will come back to me
July 24th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
you sir are a geek of the highest order!
July 24th, 2006 at 8:31 pm
TRS, I know it’s hard to believe, but I did pick up on those subtle clues in the audio to figure out it was from the Thundercats.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
You rock, Ed from Texas.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
That’s bugging the hell out of me
July 24th, 2006 at 8:35 pm
Now if it was from Atlantis then I would have it in a heartbeat
Test me if you wish
July 24th, 2006 at 8:36 pm
Alright, let’s try something a little different.
I think Michael should just give up and start calling the show by its time honored proper name - The Dragonpage Wingin It!
Why? Well, for one, Michael can’t get it out of his head anyway. He might as well embrace his destiny.
For another, having come to Wingin It from Slice and Cover, I found the title to be a nice play on words - you know, Dragon, Wing. It gave the tie that this was the gang behind Slice and Cover, yet made it clear that this was a different type of show. Just calling it Michael and Evo’s Wingin It seems to water it down and make it almost too generic.
Also, I’m curious, is there anybody in the audience who first found Wingin It before any of the other Farpoint Shows? Like I said, I first found it coming from Slice and Cover. Since Wingin It didn’t even exist in Podcast Alley until recently, I can’t imagine it has been a big standalone draw.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:38 pm
Well I’m currently fresh out of Stargate audio to play…….lemme see if I can track something else down real quick to share before I shuffle off to bed. Back in a few gang!
July 24th, 2006 at 8:39 pm
Oh, call me Ed, everyone else does. I don’t recall having run across any others in the audience so far, so there’s not likely to be any confusion.
Well, OK, there’s always confusion around here, but I won’t be the cause of it!
Uhm, sure, I might cause some confusion around here, but it will be a whole different kind of confusion.
Everybody clear?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:40 pm
Did anyone make out what Ed just said?
NO???
Me neither
July 24th, 2006 at 8:41 pm
BTW, Jack, you really need to get your show listed on Podcast Alley.
I’d gladly cast a regular vote as I do for the other shows I listen to.
Charlie, I’ve already cast my vote for you this month, so I’ve got you covered.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:41 pm
Ok one last clip of geeky goodness before bed.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:45 pm
OK so I lied…..ONE more before this geek heads to bed.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:46 pm
“Of course, has their been another show since then?” - dunno what that means.
“And did you set the record for between shows?” - yep.
July 24th, 2006 at 8:47 pm
Of course good old Dr Who!!!
July 24th, 2006 at 8:47 pm
No really I MEAN it this time!
July 24th, 2006 at 8:48 pm
Alvie - I realised after I posted that it didn’t make any sense but what can you expect for 4am???
July 24th, 2006 at 8:49 pm
Whilst I remember about it, aren’t we due another server crash sometime soon with our comment posting?
July 24th, 2006 at 8:50 pm
>>> I’d gladly cast a regular vote as I do for the other shows I listen to.
Ed….I don’t suppose I could convince you (or ANY of y’all out there) to toss a vote PodCulture’s way over at Podcast Alley could I? LOL we could use all the help we can get!
July 24th, 2006 at 8:56 pm
The hell are you posting at 4am? Quazy.
Sokay, I cant even spell my name right..
July 24th, 2006 at 9:07 pm
Is it 4am somewhere?
July 24th, 2006 at 9:14 pm
Das what I’m saying
July 24th, 2006 at 9:18 pm
Ed, thanks for the vote…you and those other 5 crazy SoB SOBs.
Brad: you got it.
Alvie, Ian: why the continuous need to turn this silly comment thing into a penis-measuring contest? Geez, I get enough “clique-ishness” in my day job.
Mark: Good to “see” ya
Anyone: Speaking of penises, did anyone else listen to Episode 20 of Infection? Let’s just say my legs have been crossed all day
July 24th, 2006 at 9:37 pm
Hey Charlie sorry about the comments with names like Online Xanaxâ€?, “Mature Pornâ€?, “Poker Chipsâ€? and “Reupholstering Dining Room Chairâ€? I’ll keep to my real name in the future.
July 24th, 2006 at 9:53 pm
Charlie,
I think I’m up to episode 19, but I can’t be sure with the crash. I’ve gone back to Juice for podcatching and I’ll be loading up my USB drive like I did before I got my Ipod. I’ve set episode 20 to download, so I’ll double check tomorrow. If 20 was posted this weekend, then I haven’t made it yet. Don’t spoil the horror for me.
SAVE PERRY’S BALLS!!!!
And with that, I bid you all good night. It’s about midnight here and I’ve really gotta get up in the morning for work. Wow, wasn’t that profound.
Riiiiiight - off to bed then.
July 24th, 2006 at 10:14 pm
Mr. Porn, er, Thomas…I’m glad to know it’s you, but I fail to see how what those two buff boys were doing to each other had anything to do with beer..please make your links more relevant in future.
Ed, enjoy. Ep 20 is definitely Sig-tastic.
And with that..goodnight. I wouldn’t want to be so pathetic as to still be posting comments at 4 AM
July 24th, 2006 at 10:29 pm
Er um I’ll work on that…um…..yeah……….*whistles and walks away*
Beautiful weather no?
July 24th, 2006 at 10:33 pm
Come on 19 comments from 600, we can do it before going to bed, who is with me?
July 24th, 2006 at 11:04 pm
Apparently no one *shrug* off to bed
July 24th, 2006 at 11:56 pm
Eh. I got nothing better to do.
July 25th, 2006 at 3:53 am
Well I just rolled out of bed……the first post of the day!
July 25th, 2006 at 4:17 am
Rome… you were so good to me… I drank your wine, I saw your treasures, I flirted with your men. They bought me vodka. I love them.
Bisognoun’ altra Keglevich, per favore!

July 25th, 2006 at 4:19 am
Stomach grumbling,
eyes a crusting
There’s only one thing I need
(What’s that brother?)
It comes on a plate, in a box, or a bowl
It’s the cure that guaranteed!
Breakfast
So, Charlie, what is the most nutritous beer to drink/eat for breakfast?
And with that, I’m off to work.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:06 am
Oh Ed….that would be an obvious answer: Oatmeal Stout!
July 25th, 2006 at 6:06 am
Aww c’mon guys! WAKE UP! Post some comments here! I need SOMETHING to keep me amused here at teh office today!
July 25th, 2006 at 6:11 am
I’m up, I’m up!
Brad, thanks for fielding the beer question for me… Back in my homebrewing days I made a Crunchberry Ale (with real Crunchberries!). It was a nice copper ale with a slightly pink head that tasted just a little like Red Dye #2.
Welcome back Andrea! America missed you. I drank some vodka while you were gone and only regretted it a little.
July 25th, 2006 at 6:15 am
OMG….CRUNCHBERRY ALE????? Hell I’m not a beer fan by ANY means, but I’d have to give that a shot, just for kicks!
July 25th, 2006 at 7:02 am
Let’s just say it was not in accordance with the German Purity Law of 1516.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:09 am
uh ok….like I know WTF that is.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:11 am
http://www.palatinat.dragnet.com.au/puri_law.htm
July 25th, 2006 at 7:28 am
While I am a big believer in the beer purity law, we are in America and experimentation is not unheard of so no complaints from this end of the peanut gallery.
When did you add the Crunchberries into the mix during the boil or in the secondary?
July 25th, 2006 at 7:28 am
ah interesting!
July 25th, 2006 at 8:03 am
Crunchberry beer. I can imagine the flavor, I think. Sounds too sweet for me.
I tried Terrapin Ale’s Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout the other night and liked it. It seemed smoother than the Guiness I usually drink. I want to bring a case of various Terrapin to Dragoncon for people to try, but I’ll have no way of keeping it cool. I have to find a place in Atlanta that sells it.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:13 am
There is a small liquor store near one of the hotels I believe.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:27 am
That’s good to hear. I won’t be staying an a con hotel, but I know there are liquor stores not far from where I’ll be staying. I’ll just grab someone from the party to come to the parking garage and help me get the beer.
Remember for the live Wingin’ It show, no beer sales after midnight.
Oh, I found a word for something you folks did in the podcast:
Podcasterbation:
The act of primarily discussing other podcasts and the podcasting trend on a given podcast. Though podcaterbation is common, it is often frowned upon and can result is decreased listenership.
There’s all kinds of interesting terms associated with the iPod at http://www.urbandictionary.com/
July 25th, 2006 at 9:21 am
Welcome back, Drea. You were missed.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:28 am
600!
July 25th, 2006 at 9:41 am
What??? who let Tee in here? Geez are there NOT standards around here? (j/k Tee)
July 25th, 2006 at 9:44 am
Standards Brad? This is Wingin’ It you are talking about.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:58 am
Oh right….damn I’m getting old and forgetful!
July 25th, 2006 at 10:06 am
OK, I’m back…let’s see….
Thomas, the crunchberries were added to the mash.
Barry, it wasn’t at all sweet, just tinged with artificial flavors.
Gratz, ditto a.k.a “Mr. Halfway”
Howdy, Mr. Parsec Finalist. Are you related to the Boise Parsec Finalists? I think I went to school with one of them.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:07 am
Don’t worry thanks to beer I often have the same problem…what’s the Homer Simpson quote “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.”
July 25th, 2006 at 10:09 am
The side benefit of a Crunchberry Ale much like eating a twinkie is it acts as a preservative after death due to all the artificial additives.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:13 am
I say Charlie makes Crunchberry Ale for everyone!
July 25th, 2006 at 10:24 am
Demand It!
http://eventful.com/demand/D0-001-000006125-9
July 25th, 2006 at 10:42 am
Ya know, I keep talking about getting back into brewing….but it needs to be sometime AFTER the Phoenix temps drop out of triple digits (otherwise brewday in the garage is a very close approximation to Hell).
July 25th, 2006 at 11:03 am
OK who let Miranda in here? Standards I say hot dang it! Standards!
July 25th, 2006 at 11:12 am
>>>How can you tell how many posts there are? Am I just slow or blind and can’t see the count?
Both….The comment count is right above the first comment.
>>>Do you think its meaningful that yall did show 69??
I dunno we ARE all pervs ya know
July 25th, 2006 at 11:29 am
Miranda, it’s at the top of the page, just below the show notes.
You are pretty active for a mythological planet.
July 25th, 2006 at 11:43 am
I can relate Charile, I don’t have a outdoor burner rig so I do it from my kitchen stove and without having AC a batch of beer does heat up the house pretty good right now even in Flag. I really need to invest in the burner rig.
July 25th, 2006 at 1:01 pm
Not that anyone cares, but the “I’m at work so I can post comments all day” crew seem to be hanging out over at Deapan, while the “I’m an old fart with a pot-belly and facial hair” crew seem to be staking a claim to WI. Not that you have a pot-belly, Thomas…
July 25th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
Yeah well that’s their loss! They should be here.
July 25th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
*looks down* um yeah. sure. whatever you say Charlie.
July 25th, 2006 at 1:35 pm
Look everyone! Someone’s posted a new Speaking of Beer!
*puts pinky to corner of mouth*
July 25th, 2006 at 1:46 pm
If noone cares Charlie, why bring it up?
*shakes finger*
July 25th, 2006 at 1:47 pm
Oh wait, or am I not allowed to post here since Im part of the “at work post all day crew”?
July 25th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Or wait, am I not allowed to post here because Ive been dubbed part of the “Deadpan crew”?
July 25th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
hey I’m at work….I’ve been posting most all day!
July 25th, 2006 at 1:50 pm
Just missed y’all over here is all. After a while, I get REALLY used to reading white text on a black bg.
Don’t shake that thing too much; it might go off.
*now what the hell did I mean by that?*
July 25th, 2006 at 1:52 pm
Read carefully, Alvie. You’ve been dubbed part of the ‘”I’m at work so I can post comments all dayâ€? crew’
Sheesh, someone’s sensitive!
July 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
I’m no Andrea, but I think we hairy men need a group hug.
Whaddya think?
July 25th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
Anything more than 2 shakes and you’re playing with it.
July 25th, 2006 at 1:58 pm
Fuck it.
Wait….
Ok I was gonna group hug but ditto just made me think maybe its not just a hug…
July 25th, 2006 at 1:59 pm
Yeah, nevermind..let’s just punch each other’s shoulders or something…
July 25th, 2006 at 2:07 pm
*punch*
Ya slug.
July 25th, 2006 at 2:07 pm
I mean lug! Not slug!
Shit…
July 25th, 2006 at 2:10 pm
*punch*
back atchya bro
*awkward foot shuffling*
July 25th, 2006 at 2:15 pm
ow…
*sniff*

You guys are hawsome.

As the “Slightly Silent” audience member, I have to say it was a great time listening to the guys and ladies record.

July 25th, 2006 at 3:29 pm
WHERE?????? Oh yeah….right here…nevermind
July 25th, 2006 at 3:30 pm
It will make me less than two seconds to remove her head from her neck
July 25th, 2006 at 3:32 pm
‘take’ that being
July 25th, 2006 at 4:01 pm
Uh Ian dude…I REALLY do not appreciate that last remark of yours even if it was in jest. You have an issue with something said….you know how to get ahold of us. Bring it up there this ain’t the place for it.
July 25th, 2006 at 4:07 pm
Sorry
It was entirely meant as a joke and nothing else
July 25th, 2006 at 4:09 pm
I’m sorry I didn’t put any [joke] around it to signify it was nothing more than a joke
July 25th, 2006 at 5:38 pm
Ok man no problem dude…..just be a little more careful in the future ok?
BTW….had that been “for real” it’d have been someone else’s head being removed from their shoulders. And that ain’t a joke……(and this goes out to everyone) never EVER F**K with my friends and/or family. This red-head will take you down.
July 25th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
Sorry
On a lighter note: at least its got the Comments numbers up
July 25th, 2006 at 6:13 pm
had noticed
July 25th, 2006 at 6:14 pm
hadn’t noticed
July 25th, 2006 at 6:16 pm
one of them for sure….
July 25th, 2006 at 6:20 pm
Now we are at:
July 25th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
650!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 25th, 2006 at 6:30 pm
You guys are crazy
July 25th, 2006 at 6:58 pm

Uh, yeah, none of us planned on it. Chill the fuck out. Serious. Even I knew Ian was just quoting a movie. Fuck man.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:09 pm
Wow.
This was fun while it was fun.
‘t ain’t no more.
Bye all, drink well.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
Brad, I’ve got a redhead that can take you down too. Don’t mess with me. I’ll use my secret weapon. Really. Well, maybe. Just watch your step. I sorta mean it.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:43 pm
Charlie, glad to hear the crunchberry wasn’t that sweet. I’ve toyed with the idea of getting into brewing myself. Knowing myself as I do, I would probably buy the stuff for it, do it once, and never do it again. *sigh* At least I try to buy decent beer.
Okay, re: the fuss. This is an international group and that means many more ways to be offended. To be honest, I’m often surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often. I really think it should have been taken to PMs, though.
Ian/Chris/Karen/Brad, with regards to the kilt. I think I’ll stop by the Utilikilts booth and pick one up. Probably Friday or Saturday so I can wear it to the Wingin’ It event Saturday night. No sporran, though. Now the question is whether I’ll be brave enough to wear it, um, comfortably.

>>>Uh, yeah, none of us planned on it. Chill the fuck out. Serious. Even I knew Ian was just quoting a movie. Fuck man.
Uh Alvie…. This has been more than settled between Ian and m’self, and we are cool. He’s explained what happend, the misunderstanding and all that and that’s that. As for your telling me to “chill the fuck out” ummmmm….no .I do not, and will not take kindly to threats of any type towards my friends or family. And will defend them to the best of my somewhat limited abilities.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:48 pm
Not another one!!!
I am suppose to be the only one in a kilt at DragonCon but I suppose I can be happy in the thought that I will be the only REAL scotsman there
July 25th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
>>>I really think it should have been taken to PMs, though.
Barry It was taken care of offline ….there was just a bit of spillover left here is all.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
Well, I’m proud of y’all. Almost a full 100 more posts since I checked in this morning.
Now, everyone put their light sabers away before someone loses an arm. Strike up the Catina Band and lets have anothr round of that Crunchberry Ale.
July 25th, 2006 at 7:54 pm
Why no utilishoes? That’s unfair, I tell you. The injustice of it all!
PS: _Nothing_ here should be taken seriously. If you are about to take it seriously. Take a deep breath and say, “This is only Wingin’ It. Evo’s involved. How serious coult it really be.”
July 25th, 2006 at 7:55 pm
>>>Brad, I’ve got a redhead that can take you down too. Don’t mess with me. I’ll use my secret weapon. Really. Well, maybe. Just watch your step. I sorta mean it.
[sarcasm] Ditto: damn you! There I was working on a good mess of being ticked off, and you had to go and make me laugh, spoiling the whole darn thing. [/sarcasm]
July 25th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
Good.
Laugh it up fuzz ball. Life is too short. We are all friends here. Except for Spork.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:02 pm
“I do not, and will not take kindly to threats of any type towards my friends or family. And will defend them to the best of my somewhat limited abilities. ”
Gee, I guess I missed the part where your family was actually being “threatened”.
This board wreaks. It has this entire goddamn show. The hypocracy, the assholes, the holier than thous, the god damn “misunderstandings” its all fuckin here. Well Im done with it. Ill meet up with yall after the next show. This is fucking lame. The fuck has happened people?
July 25th, 2006 at 8:14 pm
Alvie: If you like my email is Brad (at) podculture (dot) net. I’ll be more than happy to explain what and why I percieved what was said as a threat but not here. As far as I am concerned that issue is over and done with.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:15 pm
>>>We are all friends here. Except for Spork.
I dunno ditto. I think I’ve got Alvie all ticked off
July 25th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
Naw, don’t worry bout it.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:22 pm
>>>Naw, don’t worry bout it.
I am a little worried, I’m loud, opinionated, and tend to speak my mind (hmm sound like anyone else we know in podcast land?) I like this wild and wacky group of folk, and really don’t wanna tick any of y’all off. (well OK Spork I couldn’t care less about but that’s different)
July 25th, 2006 at 8:26 pm
Brad- You can’t be loud, opinionated and speak your mind with out getting-at at least one person. Unless you live in a bubble and talk to stuffed animals.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:27 pm
Well, I’m certainly not ticked. I thought, for the most part, we’ve been having a pretty good time with this.
Not quite sure what put the bur under Alvie’s saddle.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:32 pm
*puts stuffed animal away*
Wha who me? no I wasn’t talking to that.
*takes meds*
July 25th, 2006 at 8:34 pm
>>>I thought, for the most part, we’ve been having a pretty good time with this.
With the exception of on misunderstanding (since corrected) I thought we have too.
>>>Not quite sure what put the bur under Alvie’s saddle.
*raises hand*
Ummm….that might have been me.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:40 pm
wow. go away for a day and the whole board changes tone like 3 times over.
well, in any case, we are closer to the 1200 goal than I really thought we would get, which is pretty darn cool.
so here’s to commenting.
Oh and Crunchberry Ale….*shudder*. the idea just seems a bit wrong to me. must try it out sometime.
July 25th, 2006 at 8:41 pm
Oops, I forgot. Time for bed.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
See y’all in the morning.
July 25th, 2006 at 9:47 pm
Brackets are our friends.
It was a weird Non-Winging-It Moment. I think people we just taken aback is all. Both the statement and the rebuttle were heavy.
That is all…
July 25th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Wait a minute Jeremy. You pass that off in here and say this in the DP Comments :
“Alvie, I feel you on the wingin it comments. That was bizaare and completely uncalled for. Some geeks have no social graces.”
July 25th, 2006 at 10:18 pm
I need to see if we can get the Genie over here to straighten this shit out. (See [shameless plug]FBSD Episode 10..[/shameless plug])
I’m glad that the people who enjoyed the show enjoyed the show. I’m glad for the constructive feedback that was given (positive and well.. yeah…) I’m happy with the feedback that I received on my piece especially the notes from Jack and Alvie(I’m glad you guys saw it for the homage and the fun it was).
I’m glad that we’ve had fun boosting the comments to both shows… which, if I’m not mistaken… if we add all of the comments from last week’s Wingin’ It and last week’s Deadpan, then we’ve either come close or have beaten any other combined comments from any other week from these two shows.
Let’s just appreciate that and wait in anxious anticipation for the next Wingin’ it, and the next Deadpan (regardless of who’s at the helm).
July 25th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
I think we need to kill this off right here, right now
I think things are getting a little out of hand, my comment above is proof of my own doing but I know of others who are projecting two different fronts and rather than getting into another arguement, I think we should call it a truce
We may not all agree on what has happened in here in the last couple of days but the reasoning behind it was just, in my opinion
July 25th, 2006 at 10:41 pm
let.it.all.go.
Breathe, everyone breathe.
Ignore the comments you dont like. Everyone can say what they want, its your choice to react.
Breathe in and out.. in with the good, out with the bad….
I repeat…. ignore the comments you don’t like.
breathe….
July 25th, 2006 at 10:50 pm
*cough*
*ahem*
PENIS!!!
That is all. Take that as you will.
*cough*
July 25th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
breathe….
namaste
good night
July 25th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
w00t!!!
PENIS
July 25th, 2006 at 10:55 pm
Was it not bizaare and completely uncalled for? I’m not trying to offend anyone…do you not agree that Spork has no social graces??
Its ok, man…the comment was not made with any ill will. I usually stay out of arguments because of the ease with which things get out of hand, case in point.
Nuthin butt love. Yo. Nuthin butt love.
July 25th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
JfS Loves his butt love. He loves his butt love.
July 25th, 2006 at 11:06 pm

July 25th, 2006 at 11:12 pm
Buttery?
July 25th, 2006 at 11:34 pm
Butt love?
Does this come back to the ‘Doodle’ category with Alvie and Evo’s asses?
July 25th, 2006 at 11:45 pm
Come on just a few more to 700!
July 26th, 2006 at 5:01 am
I finally get back on and the conversation’s knee-deep in butt love. Great.
July 26th, 2006 at 5:09 am
I’ve got something important to say:
BOOGER!
Now back to your regular scheduled mayhem.
July 26th, 2006 at 5:18 am
BOOGER and PENIS in the same thread!!!
WI is truly a wonderous place.
July 26th, 2006 at 6:34 am
Well at least no one has made a comment with boogers, butt love, and crunchberry ale all in one.
Oh God! I just did it!
*slinks away in shame*
July 26th, 2006 at 7:32 am
Oooh, new challenge. Who can use boogers, butt love and crunchberry ale in the most imaginative sentence possible?
Should I be slinking away in shame now?
July 26th, 2006 at 7:33 am
hmmm, maybe we should throw penis into the mix as well…make it even more of a challenge.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:46 am
I drank so much Crunchberry Ale, that I ended up having butt love all night, causing my penis to….oh I’m stopping there.
That could get gross…
July 26th, 2006 at 7:49 am
Shame on you Barry!
July 26th, 2006 at 7:52 am
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Chris doesn’t want us to take this further.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:00 am
Aww, but it was just getting to be fun. Ah well, I guess I can’t play all the time.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:01 am
And I guess it is hard to incorporate boogers into the whole thing.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:06 am
Ok, I had to try to make a sentence with all of the words…it is a stretch to call it a sentence, but it makes me giggle. so…
Beware of crunchberry ale, the mash looks like boogers, and the pink head can make your penis shrink all while making you dream of good old fashioned butt love.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:09 am
Well, if you insist…
Drinking crunchberry ale is like having your penis dipped in boogers instead of having fantastic butt-sex. Just say no.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:10 am
oooh, nice. much better than mine.
July 26th, 2006 at 8:16 am
time to go to work to take care of business. yay. have fun guys.
July 26th, 2006 at 10:18 am
>>>And I guess it is hard to incorporate boogers into the whole thing.
No it’s snot
July 26th, 2006 at 10:33 am
You know… it’s not often you hear the phrase “good old fashioned butt love.
I’m just sayin’.
July 26th, 2006 at 10:39 am
You can pick your friends and pick your nose just don’t pick your friends nose…

July 26th, 2006 at 11:29 am

bu-bum-dum
July 26th, 2006 at 6:03 pm
Remember that’s it’s okay to prick your finger. Just don’t finger your prick.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
Not unless your cleaning it, right?
July 26th, 2006 at 7:10 pm
Well, it’s good to see things are all nice and shiny again around here.
You know, thanks to Evo, I can’t help by think of “Michael’s Sweet, Sweet Ass” whenever I hear the word butt-love.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:44 pm
Ed, if that’s what you think of… Brother, I feel sorry for you
July 26th, 2006 at 8:11 pm
I’m pretty sure that that combination of 3 words is illegal in most states.
July 26th, 2006 at 9:35 pm

Ahhhh…..Mikes sweet ass. No one bother me for a while…… ahhh

andrea, were the cats on your last photo really eating spaghetti ?
Well, there again, they are Italian …
July 27th, 2006 at 5:15 am
Goooooooooodddd Morning Wingin’ It!
July 27th, 2006 at 5:38 am
Andrea, nice pics of Rome. Thank you for sharing them with us.
On a random note, I just noticed that I have an ink spot on my palm. I haven’t opened a pen at all this morning. Clearly we have some kind of time juxtaposition here. Maybe a future ink spot appearing in present time or a past one making a reappearance.
That’s the only reasonable explanation, of course.
July 27th, 2006 at 5:55 am
Good morning-
Yes, the cats were eating spaghetti. What else does one eat in Italy right? All the little old ladies bring food for the cats, its so cute.
Thanks Barry. Yes I agree with your explanation of the ink spot. It is the only possibility that makes sense.
July 27th, 2006 at 7:49 am
Hmm, think we can get to 1000 before Tuesday
I know that would be one hell of an accomplishment for Wingin’ It especially

July 27th, 2006 at 8:56 am
Hey Andrea, do you do photography professionally cause those pictures are so great. I only wish I could get my pictures to look as nice. Sometimes when I am lucky, I will get one great photo out of 100 taken.
July 27th, 2006 at 9:10 am
that damn chicken is everywhere
Chris- aww thanks. yes I am a photographer. part time artsy work. Maybe one day I can do portraits professionally. *crosses fingers*
July 27th, 2006 at 9:40 am
Chris, I lived with a professional photographer for most of college. They take lots of pictures to find a few keepers. So don’t lose heart!
July 27th, 2006 at 10:30 am
Maybe later in life you’ll become a Full-Time Chicken Photographer??? No?
NO
What the hell was I thinking???

Hey who knows, if it pays good maybe… actually on 2nd thought.. that would make photography become a job i didnt like. Portraits I would like. Chicken portraits??? Nah
ooo you want a chicken
Brad- very true on the photos. I take a million shots. After a while you start to get more and more good shots on a roll. Those 72 Italy shots on flicker came off of about 5 rolls of film I think…
Yeah you want a chicken
July 27th, 2006 at 12:01 pm
It depends if you want the chicken alive or dead
July 27th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
‘5 rolls of film’
What is this ‘film’ of which you speak?
July 27th, 2006 at 1:01 pm
“I call this still life with chicken #34″
“It looks like #33″
“No #33 is deinately piccata, #34 is more of a tomato sauce.”
July 27th, 2006 at 2:01 pm
Oooh, not film. It scares me. I am better off with the digital camera, at least I get a chance of taking loads of pictures without spending so much on film. Although I must admit I have worse luck with getting blurred pictures with the digital camera. Shaky hands I guess. Maybe I should lay off the liquor…hmmm, nah.
July 27th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
Tony- When it comes to photography i am very old school. i do not own a digital camera yet.
Thomas- yes, yes, thats exactly what I dont want to do
Chris- silly Chris, nevAR lay off the liquor honey. i take better pictures when i am drunk. Many of those on flickr were taken while intoxicated. Maybe try drinking more next time
July 27th, 2006 at 3:17 pm
Andrea, I know know a lot of folks on both sides of that particular fence.
Since most of my photography just gets displayed on screens or printed as 5×7s and put into an album, I’ve never really felt the urge to go back to film.
That, and the (almost) 4 year old is able to take pictures using LCD screen on the old camera.
July 27th, 2006 at 5:20 pm
Come on everyone… we are in the home stretch… take that hour and a half that you would have listened to Wingin’ it and leave some comments for your favorite podcasters. Let’s get everybody’s numbers up. Hit up the Bunkcast, Podculture, and Two girls and a Podcast (in honor of the hosts of this show) Didn’t mean to leave you out Ian, but you don’t have a cast of your own, you just kinda share the wealth.
Also don’t forget everyone who submits content and has podcasts, Jack Mangan, The Ninjas, Tee Morris, Mur Lafferty, The Brooklyn Blues man himself
Share the love, and tell ‘em that Wingin’ It 69 sent you.
July 27th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
Oh yeah…
And we only have a few hundred more posts to go to hit 1000…
If I forgot anyone in my post above, add them to the list and let’s spread the comments around.
July 27th, 2006 at 5:29 pm
Well if your trying to get the numebrs up on the Comments then you can hit my Blogspot address which is used for my segment

Hey Brad,
As long as that ink spot doesn’t turn into an itchy triangle under your skin, you should be OK.
In related news - Charlie, I got to listen to Infection ep. 20 today.
I’m still in pain. Wow!
July 27th, 2006 at 8:54 pm
Nice photoset there, Andrea. Looks like it was a great trip for photography.
July 27th, 2006 at 8:56 pm

Considering HP said they weren’t even going to build the machine until today and then 5-7 days to ship, I was pleasently surprised that it arrived today.

Ok, it was all fun and games doing a fan show, but when are the real stars coming back? I want to know how their month went.
On an up note for Charlie…I found a place where they have some Quelque Chose in stock. I plan to be buying some real soon, but I will need instruction on where and how to send it to ya. Can you hook me up with a link?
July 28th, 2006 at 8:31 am
Given their flickr pictures, I think we’ll be hearing about a lot of storm troopers and goth babes.
And dice. Lots and lots of dice. Maybe even hot goth dice.
July 28th, 2006 at 9:51 am
LMAO
I actually got an e-mail asking if their was another Fan Show this week but it was all a joke to see if anyone would buy into it. But I’ll be nice and not mention the person by name
July 28th, 2006 at 10:28 am
Go ahead Ian, call out the loser
Place his head on a pike so that we might all be able to ridicule him and throw rotten veggies at his skewered noggin!
July 28th, 2006 at 11:19 am
Chris,
Shoot me an email: charlie at speakingofbeer dot com, and we’ll figure it out. And thanks much for thinking of me. If this works out, I’m thinking I’ll feature Quelque Chose on the podcast…
July 28th, 2006 at 12:18 pm
Sweet! I am planning to send you another little extra, but that is going to be a surprise.
July 28th, 2006 at 1:10 pm
I wouldn’t want to do such the thing, Tony
Mistakes can be made :p
July 28th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
Gee, I leave you boys and girls to play while I sweat to put out the new show and look what happens. Bad fans! Baaad! Spankie, spankie. (ooooo more, please)
Well, I have to agree that the audio wasn’t up to Mike’s standard. But content is king, and I for one was proud to be included in the cast of the Lunatic Fan Show. Just for your information, it took us over 5 hours to record that show, and there is a good chance my liver will never recover.
Spork: Pllllgggbbbtttt! Feel free to say what you want about me. But if you really think you can get away with dissing Ian…think again. Let’s face it, fans, he took on probably the worst job in the verse having to live up to WI, and came out a hero.
And if any of you are interested, Show #3 of the BunkCast is up. And yeah, I am a shameless media whore.
July 28th, 2006 at 8:58 pm
But that’s just part of your charm
July 28th, 2006 at 8:59 pm
Oh and I can’t get that damn chicken song out of my head from Deadpan.
I do not want an Evo….ooh ooh

Onward to 1K
July 29th, 2006 at 9:44 am
but Tony, it’s jussss to far we kinaant make it. The comments have lost the momentium.
July 29th, 2006 at 10:13 am
Did any of you check out the photos of the Con. Guess who Mike handed the camera to?
July 29th, 2006 at 10:38 am
Nice job Karen.
July 29th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
We better be getting an interview with the storm trooperette on an upcoming WI. No, not Slice, definitely a WI interview.
July 29th, 2006 at 12:09 pm
Everybody needs to make sure they’ve got this show bookmarked for quick and easy comment access.
July 29th, 2006 at 12:12 pm
Man, I checked out the DP page for the latest show (That’s Deadpan, not Dragon Page - we need to work out some official abbreviations) to see what all the comments are about.
It seems to mostly be a photography show. Andrea scores those awesome pics with the legendary Nikon F5. It’s too bad Nikon doesn’t build a true digital equivalent to that monster. I’ve got a D70 and it has served me well, but I’m no pro.
July 30th, 2006 at 4:52 am
Anyone else wanna comment on the lack of mention during the show they taped yesterday? Someone was saying that they taped the voicemail show earlier in the week, so perhaps it got mentioned there.
Perhaps they are waiting for Evo to come back? Perhaps they are scared that the fans will take over?
Yes, I’m just stirring up shit, but maybe it’ll get a few more posts logged in before Tuesday.
July 30th, 2006 at 7:29 am
I posted this over at DP because there was some concern about things that didn’t happen on yesterday’s show over there:
Here’s the deal…Joe drove up the 2.5 hours from Tucson under the false impression there was going to be a show recorded today[yesterday]. He showed up up to find that he was mistaken. He was justifiably pissed. Jack showed up, thinking there was going to be a show. Rhettro dropped by. Suddenly, Mike felt the pressure to record. Joe called me, I showed up with a single beer (that didn’t exactly wow ‘em…). Mike fired up the board and we did a show. Perhaps not the best, but certainly a good time (as always). I’m sure anything that didn’t get in this one will be in next week, an actual-full-blown-no-holds-barred-Evo-filled Wingin’ It!.
Hope that helps…
July 30th, 2006 at 10:40 am
Thanks for the info Charlie!
July 30th, 2006 at 12:25 pm
Charlie… everyone listening in yesterday was pretty much under the impression that is what happened.
I don’t have a problem with what they do or don’t put on the show, I was just trying to stir the pot and get a few more posts on this one to break 1000.
I’m at a loss for what else to try, aside from inviting Spork to post more of his love-fest messages (KIDDING!!!!) I don’t think any of us wanna go THERE!
Thanks for the details though, it does make the fuzzy picture much, much clearer.
July 30th, 2006 at 12:45 pm
ok, here is me trying to bump up the post count…bump.
That’s one.
but seriously, I think we can just be proud to have gotten the post count this high to start with. So we shouldn’t worry about it if we don’t hit 1200.
Of course I am all for trying.
July 30th, 2006 at 2:22 pm
Personally, I don’t think the post count matters. We’ve got the forums for more “focused” discussions. But, I’m glad to participate.
July 30th, 2006 at 2:55 pm
Yeah, that is basically what I was trying to say. Hehe, apparently communication is not my forte. Speaking of forums, is it me or has there been very little activity there of late?
July 30th, 2006 at 3:15 pm
I’m going to call it our summer lull.
July 30th, 2006 at 3:39 pm
Sounds good to me. I would hate to think that people have already decided to stop going to the forums.
July 30th, 2006 at 3:43 pm
We’ve got forums???
*smacks forehead and runs of to check*
Oh, yeah. I totally knew about those.
July 30th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
So, you guys are saying that, in honor of show 69, Michael decided to give us an amateur show of his own?
July 30th, 2006 at 3:54 pm
You know, I hope we at least get some audio of the fight that broke out over Charlie’s one beer.
July 30th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
There are forums? Really?
How come no one told me?
Ed- yeah we got to talking about photography quite a bit over there. We did over here for a bit too. We do sometimes have real conversations believe it or not. But in the end it always reverts back to:
You want a chicken
Yeah you want a chicken
Hey you want a chicken
Oooh you want a chicken.
July 30th, 2006 at 4:29 pm
Hmmm. And now I want a chicken.
Must be working guys.
July 30th, 2006 at 5:14 pm
Andrea, you know, that is kinda catchy. They should write a song about that.
I want a chicken
Yeah I want a chicken
Hey I want a chicken
Oooh I want a chicken.
July 30th, 2006 at 8:10 pm
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
No, it’s back in my head again….curse you Mangan! Curse you to HECK!
July 30th, 2006 at 8:56 pm
Chicken chicken chicken!
July 30th, 2006 at 9:06 pm
::: sigh ::: chicken song make head hurt. night all!
July 30th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
mmm maybe that’s why I had the urge to get the chicken pizza instead of the cow/pig pizza.
July 31st, 2006 at 6:07 am
Come on people, 10 more to go and then 9 after that, lets set the bar at 800
July 31st, 2006 at 7:26 am
Up up and away, comments!
July 31st, 2006 at 7:30 am
You know, Ian, the trick to get the comment count up is to say something that requires a response. Something incendiary. Like maybe, Atlantis sucks. Or we are a bunch of navel gazers. See, then people *have* to respond. Of course, I say all this in jest.
July 31st, 2006 at 7:42 am
ditto- would it help the comments if I called you a gotard? not that I am calling you that, its just a question.
July 31st, 2006 at 7:57 am
Well, that would assume that I could actually *be* offended by being called a gotard. I’ve certainly been called worse.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:03 am
What’s a gotard?
July 31st, 2006 at 8:07 am
Well gotard is not a nice word at all… well its not PC- its like saying retard.
ditto- of course I know you wont be offended, you still come back to deadpan where only those of the thickest skin can stay. I would never call you names, you know I heart you.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:18 am
[feigned offence]Oh, I am so offeneded. I am a gotard. I think I’ll go cry and never show my face here again[/feigned offence]
Sure. cya there.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:37 am
Atlantis doesn’t suck, BSG sucks, I mean who could watch that show seriously!
Bring back to original it was far, far better.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:43 am
800
July 31st, 2006 at 8:44 am
Bring back Star Trek, the Old Series. Oh, wait. They already did.
nvm
July 31st, 2006 at 9:58 am
Screw all these hippity-dippity space ship shows… nobody wants to see aliens or monsters or robots or explosions… Shakespeare all the way
Um… Yeah…
July 31st, 2006 at 10:20 am
Stargate Atlantis doesn’t suck but I guess people got that impression after the most recent episode as it was trully the Worst Episode in Stargate Atlantis History but don’t let that one episode of SGA knock from its great series
Whilst we are talking about Stargate, did anyone see that small clip of the Oddesy flying down towards Atlantis in the latest episode of SG-1. It looked better than the two episodes, ‘The Storm’ and ‘The Eye’ which they won awards for all over the place
I enjoy my military starships and such things
July 31st, 2006 at 10:33 am
In all honesty, I never did get into Stargate beyond the movie. I really enjoyed the film, and casually watched the first season or two on Showtime. Beyond that, I just kinda lost interest.
For me the character from the movie just changed too dramatically and it took away much of what was compelling about the film. Once I get a few more shows caught up, I’ll probably go back to the DVDs and give it another shot though, since it’s been a LONG time since those days.
July 31st, 2006 at 11:10 am
>>>after the most recent episode as it was trully the Worst Episode in Stargate Atlantis History
Dude…it’s only been on less than three seasons….not “quite” historyLOL. And the eps was OK if for no other reason than the bit with Col Sheppard ann Rodney there at the end of the ep.
July 31st, 2006 at 12:00 pm
In all honesty, I never did get into Stargate beyond the movie.
Me too. I’ve watched episodes from both series, but have never been drawn into watching either.
July 31st, 2006 at 12:03 pm
The episode ‘Irrestitable’ has been the worse yet……easily. The only good thing to come out of it was the interaction between MacKay and Sheppard and the longer storyline of the Intergalatic Bridge Program, which I am interested in.
But I seen a possible threat appearing with the latest episode of SG-1, with the open Super-Gate from Pegasus to Milky Way
July 31st, 2006 at 12:14 pm
Well, I’ve liked the characters in SG-1, but it’s never been enough to make me want to watch the show.
July 31st, 2006 at 1:41 pm
Well, that worked for a little bit. I guess I’ll just go back to talking about the weather.
Or chickens.
Or weather and chickens!!!!
July 31st, 2006 at 2:04 pm
weathering chickens?
“Gosh it looks pretty harsh out thar. Looks like it’s raining a whole flock of chickens.”
July 31st, 2006 at 2:29 pm
Come on that would be foul weather
July 31st, 2006 at 3:05 pm
Very fowl weather indeed. Luckily it isn’t raining chickens over here, just buckets o’ water.
July 31st, 2006 at 3:14 pm
Mighty slipper when it’s raining chickens, birds get slick and the feathers tend to tickle the nose…not a laughing matter really.
July 31st, 2006 at 7:55 pm
What is this, the Colonel Sanders dreamscape channel?
July 31st, 2006 at 8:04 pm
Alright, I’m finally trying out the audio commentary myself. I love this line.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:06 pm
Oh, and since Stargate came up, I still can’t believe they want to do a sequel to the original movie that basically pretends the TV series never happend.
If anything, I think more people think of the TV series than the movie at the mention of Stargate.
July 31st, 2006 at 8:41 pm
I know what you mean Ed, but personally, I loved the movie more so losing the TV series stuff won’t really hurt me.
July 31st, 2006 at 9:25 pm
I’m with you on that one Chris. Especially if they can get the original people involved.
July 31st, 2006 at 9:35 pm
Yeah, I would love to see them all back.
Rhetorical question, when do you know you have to go to sleep?
Answer: when you hear a voice in your head say “big fuck off hat like the queen mum” and you start to giggle.
I go to bed now. Big fuck off hat. hehe.
August 1st, 2006 at 4:18 am
Funny, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the voice in my head tell me that.
You mean I’ve wasted all those years sleeping when I didn’t need to?????
August 1st, 2006 at 2:38 pm
Hmmm That’s funny… That’s how the voices in my head wake me every morning.
August 1st, 2006 at 9:10 pm
Well, it looks like this thread may have finally run it’s course. Only one post since I checked in last night?
August 2nd, 2006 at 4:13 pm
I think you are right, but hey, it was a good one.
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:23 am
*rubs hands together maniacally*
At last! Show 69 is all mine! MINE!!! Muwahahahahaha!
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:25 am
MUWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA!
MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
*koff koff*
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:26 am
….you know, this isn’t as much fun as I thought it was going to be….
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:40 am
Tag… You aren’t gonna own it alone, Charlie.
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:34 am
Plus, I just attached links to this podcast from our latest episode.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:09 pm
Well Tony, I’m thinking we to have ourselves a little ol’ comment party…
I mean, we’re less than 200 away from 1K. C’mon let’s go!
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:11 pm
170 away, to be exact…
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:46 pm
Bring it on!
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:48 pm
So Charlie,
I’m just going to hijack this for my own enlightenment, then…
Being as I think the fizzy, watery macrobrews are bitter tasting, when they are really just flavorless compared to “real” beer, is there any hope for me? Are there any good beers that don’t bite? I really wanted to like the Shiner Bock, but I could only make it through about half the bottle.
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:54 pm
“Oh there’s only one thing that I like and that is whistling in the dark….”
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Guess I’m gonna have to hit that 1k on my own….tomorrow.
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Ed, my friend, we may need to take a different approach with you. Have you ever tried a German hefeweizen? Something from an actual German brewer, like Paulaner, Ayinger, or Hacker-Pschorr? They have a whole different flavor principal going on thanks the wheat and a unique Bavarian yeast strain. They don’t travel tremdously well, but are certainly servicable if they haven’t been sitting on the shelf for a year or so.
Oooh, or you can track down a brewpub and get a sampler. These are often cheap (or sometimes even free), and you get little 2 oz glasses that usually span the spectrum of color and flavor.
Or, it could be you’re just not a “beer guy”. My mom had a saying: “Don’t try to teach a pig to sing…it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”
Not that you’re a pig. Or that my time is being wasted. Come to think of it, it’s a dumb saying….
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:05 pm
“I’m having a wonderful time but I’d rather be whistling in the dark…”
August 3rd, 2006 at 9:09 pm
OR, you could try the fruit beer route. I’m developing another show (with Devona) that posits fruit beers (the good, not-overly-gross-sweet kind) as “gateway beers”. The fruit beer craze peaked about a decade ago (thank goodness!), but there are still some good ones available (like anything from Lindeman’s, for a start).
August 4th, 2006 at 2:07 am
I look forward to that show. A friend of mine here locally has some beers she want’s me to try. Now, if we can ever find a chance to actually visit, I’ll see how her choices turn out. I haven’t given up yet!!
August 4th, 2006 at 5:28 am
Personally Ed, I found that white beers are a lot less bitter. By white I mean beers like Hoegaarden. But my personal favorite is Blanche de Chambly. In any case, they were some of the first beers I had that made me realize that beer can be nice and refreshing. Then I moved onto stouts…cause I am a strange girl.
August 4th, 2006 at 5:29 am
Charlie, I didn’t forget about getting the beer that we were talking about. I am just up to my ears in article stuff right now, never get a chance to hit the liquor store during their open hours at the moment. But when I do, you will be the first to hear about it.
August 4th, 2006 at 11:25 am
Chris, no prob. You’re a sweetheart to even think of me…
Ed, yeah, what Chris said, white beers. SoB show #9 features Hoegaarden, and Blanche de Chambly is great (I brought some to a DragonPage Wingin’ It–remember them?–a couple dozen shows ago). Heck, you might even try Blue Moon Belgian White (available everywhere). They have that different flavor principle I was speaking of, but a little less aggressive than a Bavarian hefeweizen. They’re a little “spicier” too.
August 5th, 2006 at 8:38 am
Well, Wingin’ It 69ers, how’s it going out there?
August 5th, 2006 at 10:56 am
Going well. I’ve got my parents in town to visit. They always say they’ve come to see the family, but the truth is they’re here to see their only grandkids
Which is nice, as the wife and I get free baby sitting and a chance to get some things done around the house.
Last night, the wife and I went to dinner and finally got to see the second Pirates of the Carribean movie. I agree some with critics that it drug on a little long, but over all we really enjoyed it.
Charlie, I’ve made a note of those beers - I’ll relisten to show #9 again.
Back later 69ers.
August 5th, 2006 at 10:25 pm
You know, Ed, I think you have a Draco Vista stand-in, beer-wise, in the form of Joe. I’m trying to get him to appreciate beer, but so far no good. Today I brought so Sam Adams heritage collection Root Beer and Ginger Ale. Or as I like to call them “strike one” and “strike two”. To quote Joe, “the thing to add to beer to make me like it is sake”. Still, let me know if any white beers trip yoour trigger…Chris may be on to something.
Say “hey” to the ‘rents.
August 6th, 2006 at 6:46 pm
I’ve taken notes and I’ll be hitting a real liquor store hopefully in the next few weeks. There’s a big chain in Houston called Specs. They have several “local” stores, as well as their main place that is supposed to be huge and have everything. I’ve never been to it, so now I’ve got an extra good excuse to check it out.
I did notice on WI’s past that Joe declared himself a non-beer drinker. I had rather hoped that my original challenge of an alternative gateway for myself might also lead to finding something for Joe. I guess we’re both trouble makers - although I’m much less grouchy than Joe, by far
I’ve noticed that Shiner makes a Hefeweizen of their own, along with what they call a Dunkelweizen, as well as a couple of others. Would any of these other Shiner brews be worth a try?
August 6th, 2006 at 7:30 pm
You know, I’d suggest steering clear of Shiner…something tells me if the Bock doesn’t do it for you, none of their beers will. You may try just one more (like the hefeweizen) before ruling them out entirely, but then again, it may be a waste of money. The more I think about it, the more this “white beer” plan sounds promising…
August 7th, 2006 at 9:36 am
I’m listening to show #9 again as I write this. I think I’m definitely going to have to check out the Hoegaarden.
BTW - I know you gave the Shiner Bock a middle of the road rating when you reviewed it, and I thought I picked up Evo giving you some smack about it when he was on a later episode.
So, I’m curious, is Shiner supposed to be considered a good beer?
August 7th, 2006 at 11:35 am
” is Shiner supposed to be considered a good beer?”
Depends on who you ask. Generally, folks I refer to as “beer snobs” who like to pass judgement on beer do tend to look down upon it. My understanding is that Shiner uses “adjuncts” (cheap, low-flavor fermentables like rice and corn), resulting in beer lower in flavor and character. Try Shiner Bock side-by-side with any other “bock” beer, and you’ll see what that means.
That being said, a non-snob appraoch is to note that beer is beer, and ranges in character from light and watery to black and chewy. Some folks prefer one end of that spectrum over the other, based upon their experiences and/or inherent tastes. I tend to not warm up to beers that are on the watery end of the spectrum, but that’s just me.
Sites like ratebeer.com and beeradvocate.com are great resources because they have ratings for beer by everyone from Joe Blow to professional beer judges. You find someone who has your general taste in beer and see what they have to say about a given brew. They may be woth your attention.
I know I bash on the megabrews, but really the problem isn’t that those beer are so (IMHO) bland, it’s that so many people think that they are synonymous with “beer”, when in fact there’s so much more out there to enjoy.
August 8th, 2006 at 7:34 pm
Well, Charlie, it looks like it’s down to just you and me these days. I’m going to try to come up with at least one post a day to keep it going. One day, the whole Internet is going to look up and find this post has the most responses in all of the blogosphere.
Muw-ha-ha-ha-ha!
August 9th, 2006 at 8:06 pm
I’m with ya Ed….you and me…
*cue heavy music*
August 11th, 2006 at 5:09 am
OOOH! I got comment #850!
OK, I know that’s a stretch milestone-wise, but at least it’s something.
August 11th, 2006 at 6:47 pm
And it just keeps going and going and going!
Now that i have read ALL the coments, I think I need new eyes! You folks are just nuts , no wounder i love you all!
August 11th, 2006 at 7:42 pm
Welcome to the party, Dwight.
You started cold from the top? Man, you are one sick puppy. I think you’ll fit in nicely
August 11th, 2006 at 7:49 pm
Nice work on getting that 850 comment, Charlie.
August 11th, 2006 at 9:58 pm
Thanks Ed! And howdy Dwight…you’re a little tardy to the party, but that makes no nevermind to us weirdos.
Ed, you mentioned Pirates 2 a few posts back…I still haven’t cleared babysitter time to see it, and I must say based on my experience with the first, as well as most critical response I’ve heard about numero dos (do you happen to subscribe to “Filmspotting”? It’s a good ‘un), I think I’ll catch it on video.
Besides, there’s another movie calling my name, in theaters Friday. You may have heard of a certain “Somethings on a Something’?
See ya back at 69!
August 12th, 2006 at 7:26 am
I’ll be catching the Matinee on Friday. I work a half day on Friday’s, so my afternoons are clear.
I’ll be sure to turn this thread into the SoaP review channel next Friday afternoon
Oh, and, if you didn’t care much for Pirates 1, the #2 won’t sway you. I loved them both.
August 13th, 2006 at 7:41 pm
Ed, if you drag the young ‘uns to “Barnyard”, I really need to converse with you about your reactions. There was some weird-ass gender confusion shit goin down’ there…
August 14th, 2006 at 6:07 am
Ah yes, article is all done, time for me to come here and post a bit more.
Charlie, I saw Pirates 2 and well, I was confused by the point of the movie, but there are some scenes that are just too much fun to have missed in the theatre. If you can manage it, you should go to a cheap night showing. If not, just find the biggest tv you can when you rent it on video. After all action sequences are best when they are big, and if Pirates 2 is anything, it is one action sequence after another.
Btw, love love love Filmspotting, great show, too bad they had to cut back down to one a week, but then again, I can’t imagine doing 2 separate hour long shows a week.
August 14th, 2006 at 9:13 pm
Chris! Welcome back to 69! Yeah, Sam and Adam are great…I don’t even need to CARE about the movies they review and I can still enjoy the show…in fact, I took inspiriation from them in setting out to do Speaking of Beer. I wanted a fun, intelligent, informative beercast that you don’t have to be a “beer geek/snob”, or even a beer drinker, to enjoy. Still working on that goal, but they are my role models…
I enjoyed the cheesey 80’s show. I can’t believe I lived through that decade. IMHO, the spaceship from Battle Beyond the Stars looked more like a giant uterus w/fallopian tubes that a set of gazongas
August 14th, 2006 at 11:37 pm
[...] Ian from Cleveland reminding us about the forums, and bragging a bit about the Show 69 comments numbers. [...]
August 15th, 2006 at 6:01 am
WOO HOO!!!
Jack didn’t like that
August 15th, 2006 at 7:19 am
Yeah the 80s were a special decade. Of course I mostly remember them through the eyes of someone growing up in that decade. In other words I remember it fondly for the cutsey things that came out of it. I don’t really remember the bad political things like hijackings, and the whole of the Reagan era. So I guess I came out of it lucky.
As for the ship from Battle Beyond the Stars…I never thought of it that way, I think I will have to bring that up on the show, if you don’t mind.
Now about your show, I love it to. Whenever I have any questions about beer, you seem to answer them right away. Lord knows that I wish I could find the beers to drink along. That way I could really get an idea about the ratings that you give and if I agree or not.
Out of curiosity, have you ever tried Tuborg Gold? I bought it on a lark this last Saturday, and was pleasantly surprised. I tend not to like lagers, but this one made me change my mind about them. It tastes sweet, which if I remember correctly means that it is malty, right? In any case, I am starting to understand what I like and don’t like in beers and a lot of that comes from listening to your show. I find that incredibly cool. Thanks for putting it out there. I was even able to impress people at the job interview I had. We started talking beers at lunch, and they said that I would fit right in with everyone. How cool is that?
August 15th, 2006 at 7:22 am
Hehe, Ian, Jack is our friend. We love Jack. Now repeat it after me.
Jack is our friend. We love Jack.
See it wasn’t that hard.
August 15th, 2006 at 7:48 am
Ian–how’s Cleveland? You know, I was born in Akron, and we always said that Clevelanders had funny accents…
Chris, wow, your story warms the cockles of my podcasting heart! That’s just what I’m shooting for. And if I contributed in a small way to a successful job interview, well, wow! Go beer!
As for Tuborg Gold, it’s been since college (in the, ahem, 80’s) since I last tried it. I lump it in with Heineken and St. Pauli Girl in the “import taste” class: more malt than hops (good call!), relativley low carbonation, and just ever so slightly skunky. Not my cup of tea, but it may make a good show theme at some point..
August 15th, 2006 at 8:52 am
That ship in Battle Beyond the stars was so totally a big ol pair of tatas!
Charlie… IF you get a chance, check out our podcast sometime. We talk about movies all the time, at the moment we are nothing but movies. We will probably expand at some point in the future but with the great listeners we have giving us ideas for shows, there isn’t much need to stray too far from ‘home’.
The 80’s were a lot of fun for me… I graduated from High School in ‘89 I remember much of the good and the bad. I can still tell you about the day Reagan was shot… then again, it was my 10th birthday, which, when you are an Air Force brat is a HUGE day, because it’s the day you get your military dependent’s ID card… and can go to the Shopette (AF version of an on-base convienence store) without an adult.
Good Times….
August 15th, 2006 at 10:05 am
Evo is going to die at DragonCon!!!
Jack AND Evo
But of course since Jack isn’t going to DragonCon, Evo will get the brunt of it
August 15th, 2006 at 10:44 am
Nice job of plugging the show 69 thread on show 71. 69 will never die!
August 15th, 2006 at 10:48 am
I too grew up during the 80’s - although I didn’t graduate high school until 1991 (Not ’cause I was slow or anything, just the way my age lines up).
College in the 80’s, eh Charlie?
While it seems M&E want to snub the 80’s for being full of bad Sci-Fi/Fantasy, some of my faves still come from that time.
BBtS remains a guilty pleasure, and yes, the ship is a sexual object.
Krull, Dragonslayer, Legend, etc. - good times.
August 15th, 2006 at 11:02 am
Uhh..that’s “Beer Guy” (Stupid work computer!)
August 15th, 2006 at 4:45 pm
130 to go!!!
Woo hoo!
August 15th, 2006 at 7:19 pm
If was funny to hear Evo’s stunned expression on the VM show when y’all told him that the comments were still a’flowing here at 69.
August 15th, 2006 at 7:55 pm
Let’s here what he has to say when we drag this thing up to 1000 comments
August 16th, 2006 at 5:35 pm
I am sure that he will once again call us nuts. Cause well it is slightly crazy, but so much fun.
August 17th, 2006 at 5:39 am
Hey Chris (and any other relevant 69s)..the latest Filmspotting (the one with Stone’s WTC movie) has a voicemail about the movie “Audition” (discussed on WI 72). If you have any interest in seeing the film, I’d recommend fast-forwarding throught the short comment (a very positive one) as it is a little too “on the nose” and could spoil the viewing experience. And it really is a good film. Sick, but good.
August 17th, 2006 at 6:11 am
Hey Charlie, thanks for the tip. I hadn’t gotten a chance to listen to Filmspotting yet, I will make sure to skip ahead a little.
And on another note…..how are all the crazy 69s this glorious day? I say it is glorious because the sun is shining, it is in the low 80s and we gots beer. Mmmm, beer good.
August 17th, 2006 at 8:44 am
Doing good today… Today is going to be a very good day.
It’s beautiful outside (and I’m fuckin’ working)but…
oh and the glorious but it is…
Tonight, Tony and I are going to be recording Episode 12… and it’s going to be another remote. Before…(during?!?)… and After…
SNAKES ON A PLANE!!!
MWAH HA HA HA HA!
If all goes well, by this time tomorrow, it should be live online, and I’ll have beaten Evo in doing a podcast review of SoaP.
Wah hoo!!!
August 17th, 2006 at 1:51 pm
LOL, well you have fun going to see SoaP. Can`t wait to hear what you have to say about it.
August 18th, 2006 at 6:27 am
*shakes off SoaP hangover*
Well, I went ahead and saw it last night, as there was no other time in my schedule and I couldn’t face M&E on Saturday as a SoaP virgin.
What can I say?
Snakes–check
Plane–check
Sam Jackson and *the line*–check
utter lack of credibility–BIG ol’ check!
It’s critique-proof, so I’ll just declare it “magnifique!” and go to work. Have a great Soap day all you crazy 69ers!
August 18th, 2006 at 9:23 am
This was great fun, and thank god for iRiver and the ability to record while in the theater….
while the movie was playing =)
August 18th, 2006 at 11:29 am
so when are you going to post that ep Tony? Cause if it isn’t up real soon, then Evo won’t know that you beat him to the punch.
August 18th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
Yeah, I know… We recorded and edited at 2:00 AM… at 2:15 we had an audacity crash as Tony was adding a bit of silence into the track.
We lost all of our commentary on the film…UGH
I am going to try to send Mike the audio that I recorded during the film to see ifn’ he’ll play it on Wingin’ It
We have a back-up plan for getting our episode out in the next day or so (depending on how the excavating of plots, birthday party, summer party, and book signing goes.. yep the two Tonys have a busy weekend)
August 18th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
Wow, that so sucks. I hope that Mike will play the file on WI. At least that way it won’t be a complete loss.
August 18th, 2006 at 4:22 pm
I just couldn’t do it. Of course, SoaP opens today and I was planning to go see it. But, it would have been an afternoon matinee and I probably would have been nearly alone in the theater. I just don’t have a group of friends that would be interested in making a party out of this event.
Alas, I’ll just have to live vicariously through all you crazy podcasters and bask in your glow.
I imagine I’ll be catching it on DVD so that I can be prepared for the inevitable viewing at next year’s WI Pool Party. Maybe we’ll get to enjoy it in Blu-Ray or HD-DVD by then.
Tell Mennennga to save his pennies for that new TV and player!
August 19th, 2006 at 4:15 am
Hey Ed, how have you been?
I’m mostly posting cause I want to see if it is possible to make it up to 900 within a day. I’m going to guess no, but I figured I wanted to try anyways. So any takers?
August 19th, 2006 at 4:38 am
I’ll try to check in frequently over the course of the weekend.
And hey, wassup? I finally get to subscribe and listen to your fine show and now y’all are going on hiatus cuase of a move
Hopefully y’all can get the remote recording worked out. I know a number of podcasts I listen to (Like Ths Week in Tech, for example) have most of the hosts remote from the recording site, so I have faith.
August 19th, 2006 at 4:39 am
Shoot, we’re already at 885, surely we can make 900 today.
Charlie, where are you?
August 19th, 2006 at 5:50 am
Alright, then. I’ve got to run some errands this morning, so I’ll check back in the afternoon.
Gotta get on the road before another nasty storm rolls through. I need the rain for the lawn, but I could do w/o all the thunder, lightning, and wind!
August 19th, 2006 at 6:17 am
Yeah, we mostly have the hiatus because we won’t be able to make our schedules mesh, but everything should be great by the end of September. What is really great is that we will still be putting out some eps during our hiatus. Two specials that we have prepared ourselves and a special guest episode by Tony and Tony from Fanboy Smackdown. We shall call it Two Tonys and a Podcast. Hehe. I can’t wait to see how that one turns out.
August 19th, 2006 at 8:49 am
Hmmm, need to go get me some beer for today’s show, any suggestions people? Oh and only 11 more posts til 900. We can do it.
August 19th, 2006 at 10:59 am
well, it’s too late to give me any suggestions for beers, I had to go with Boddingtons Pub Ale, not too bad a choice really, but not sure it is my favorite. Still it is cool and refreshing, so considering the heat, I can’t complain.
August 19th, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Beer for today’s show? So I take it you’re still into the drinking game during the live stream? Cool!
August 19th, 2006 at 7:35 pm
Hehe, I tend to drink during the live feed, not so much trying for the drinking game cause I tend to not make it far in that one, but drinking in general. It is a fun way to pass the time.
August 19th, 2006 at 8:46 pm
Alright, my wife and I got to see episode 200 of Stargate SG-1 tonight. It just rocked! All the inside one liners and zingers that they threw in left me pausing all through the show so I could recover from the laughter.
Oh, and the Farscape fans get a big payoff as well. The image of Amanda Tapping will forever be etched in my mind.
August 19th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
*puff, puff, puff*
Sorry guys…been running all over creation since..crap..last week sometime? I really let the ol’ 69 slide, much to my shame.
WI was fun today, sort of a pool party lite, but without the word “fag” being uttered once.
Ed or Chris, if you’re still out there, let’s make that push to 900. It’s still today where I am…
August 19th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
We could, for example, post cheap comments that have no reason to exist other than boosting the numbers…
August 19th, 2006 at 9:23 pm
…or perhaps proffer deep observations about the human race’s struggle for meaning in a seemingly arbitrary and brutal world…
August 19th, 2006 at 9:25 pm
…or maybe just spout off about some pop culture phenomenon or another..
August 19th, 2006 at 9:28 pm
I know! We can talk about the contents of our refrigerators. No, that a little to “Deadpan”…
August 19th, 2006 at 9:29 pm
…aaahhh, I give up! We’ll never make it to 900!
August 20th, 2006 at 5:40 am
I’m sorry I went to bed all early because of the 4 beers. And the computer connection problems. Well we still stepped it up pretty good. Oh and 900!
August 20th, 2006 at 6:57 am
YAY Chris! Since you work on the show, it’s totally fitting you get the milestone. Now let’s see what we can do about 1k.
August 20th, 2006 at 7:15 am
I am sure that we will manage it. It may take some time, but we can drag this baby up to 1k.
August 20th, 2006 at 7:47 am
I’m definitely going to hang with it. I just want to hear Evo’s jaw bounce off the floor when Charlie reports that WI 69 has crossed over 1000 comments.
August 20th, 2006 at 7:49 am
I just don’t know when I’ll get around to SoaP. The gang that I ran around with in college that would have made it a fun outing is scattered about the country.
Did I mention Stargate 200 was cool!
August 20th, 2006 at 10:36 am
Am I right in assuming that Stargate 200 was the episode that came out on Friday night?
Cause I want to see this episode that was so great.
August 20th, 2006 at 10:39 am
You are correct. Number 200 is the one that ran this past Friday. Definitely give it a look!
August 20th, 2006 at 1:09 pm
woohoo. It was fun, now we got a topic for tomorrow’s podcast.
August 20th, 2006 at 5:25 pm
Well, I had my first public signing today. It was a different experience.
I sold three copies of the book, which is three more than I was hoping for, and signed two of those.
I also was able to do some networking for the podcast. There was a local author there who has a book about movies and actors from St. Louis, set in St. Louis, or filmed in St. Louis. He is having his publisher send me a copy since I’m ‘in the media’… SWEET! Free stuff… and I was just about to buy a copy
Ok… this is one more on the way to 1k… just make #69 your personal blog and we should get it there in no time
August 20th, 2006 at 9:04 pm
Congrats on the signing Tony! How’s it feel to be “in the media”? I’m still waiting for my first free beer (no Chris, that’s not a nudge at you!), or maybe free beer festival pass or something. I’m a paitient man (except when it’s going on 9 PM and my kids are bickering about whether or not the bathtub should have bubbles…). I can wait.
August 21st, 2006 at 3:53 am
ok, Tony, you gotta tell me….what book?!?
How can I never have heard of it before? Did I not listen to something at some point? Am I a bad person? Oh no!
But really, where and when and what?
August 21st, 2006 at 3:57 am
Oh and Charlie, I didn’t take it as a dig. I know that you know that I have been unfortunately very busy of late with the moving and the trying to wrap up my PhD etc. But some day, you will be getting some beers from me. It should be an interesting adventure for you as well.
August 21st, 2006 at 5:38 am
Chris–Ooh I’m intrigued…and, as I said, patient.
I hope the moving isn’t too terribly sucky. I did it 3 times (twice cross-country) in a little over a year once, long ago. Upon reaching my current house, I declared I would grow old here. Not because I’d attained any spiritual connection with my home. The thought of schlepping boxes was simply unthinkable. Still is.
Good luck on the Piled Higher and Deeper, too!
August 21st, 2006 at 6:07 am
Hey, I never said it would be a good adventure, although I hope it will be. Had to throw in that qualifier.
And now for something actually related to show 69, cause I can…I was talking to Eliz and she is getting the set of slushy or sno cone (or whatever way you want to call it) recipes together. I wonder if I should post them here or just on our own website. Hmmm, decisions decisions.
Oh and Charlie, do you have a promo that Eliz and I can play on Two Girls? I would need it tonight since we are recording it then. (at 8pm EDT)
August 21st, 2006 at 8:18 am
Chris,
The book is called ‘The Sorrow’. I worked on the ‘pitch’ for it all afternoon so here goes.
It’s an anthology of stories featuring the same character, an avenging angel who protects children.
All of the proceeds from the sales of the book are being donated to the National Association to Protect Children (protect.org)
These are stories for kids, but it is most definately not a kid’s book.
I was the editor and contributed one of the stories in the book. It was quite an experience, that I’m sure I could fill 10 or 15 posts with if any one is interested… otherwise, they can read all about it in the foreword of the book
The book is available on lulu.com
http://www.lulu.com/tonymast
If you want a signed copy, let me know and we can work something out to get it to you.
August 21st, 2006 at 8:25 am
Also…
Tony and I are co-editing an anthology of stories from our writing group. The title is going to be Toasted Ravioli. The title refers to a St. Louis dining treat. It’s actually breaded and deep fried ravioli. Quite yummy. Anyhow(translated for Chris: Anywho)
, the anthology is tied together by being set in and around St. Louis, Missouri.
If all goes well, the book should be out by December.
August 21st, 2006 at 8:27 am
Charlie,
Thanks! I’m pretty psyched about getting the free stuff. I’m still trying to weasel…. err I mean be invited into press screenings and get sent DVD Screeners
August 21st, 2006 at 10:37 am
Wow, the 69 has come back to life - awesome.
Chris - I just got to listen to the C for Cheesie show today - good stuff.
And, here I’m going to really open up to the group here - I have the soundtrack to the Pirate Movie in MP3 format. I found it one time in a newsgroup and I’ve never seen it actually in print. I listen to it probably more than I should (I am the Pirate King!).
So, if you don’t have it and would like me to burn a CD for you, let me know.
August 21st, 2006 at 10:46 am
As for moving - my wife and I moved about a dozen times back and forth between College Station and Houston, Texas through college. We paid our way through working alternate semesters in the industries we were studying in.
After we got into a house, we stopped moving. It’s going to take something serious to get me to want to even consider the exercise of moving again.
August 21st, 2006 at 4:44 pm
Well Chris, is sent you (or, more formally, MIKE sent you) the SoB promo. If only…it..makes…it…in..time…
Thanx much, and I’d love to do the same for you.:)
August 21st, 2006 at 4:45 pm
“is sent you”? er…I sent you.
August 21st, 2006 at 4:58 pm
It has definitely made it in time Charlie. Thanks for getting it to us. I should have thought to ask for it earlier, but I just mentionned it to Eliz last night, and then I saw that you didn’t have it posted on your site. You should consider getting it up there so more people can play it.
August 21st, 2006 at 5:00 pm
Ed! You have the Pirate Movie Soundtrack?!? You are my new hero. I believe that John just managed to find it for me on some site, but if I find out that he didn’t get it after all, I will get in touch with you, cause that movie soundtrack never fails to make me smile. And the Pirate King song is the best!
And yeah, I was so geeky that when I read you had that soundtrack I actually giggled and clapped. Hehe.
August 21st, 2006 at 5:02 pm
Tony, I totally want a copy of the book. I am going to have to wait a little bit to get it, but I will talk to you more about that one and the new one you are editing with Tony as soon as I can buy them.
I also want to figure out a way to get a signed copy, cause that would be too awesome.
August 21st, 2006 at 5:03 pm
Did I forget something? It seems to me that I am forgetting something….oh well. More talking in show 69 is fun.
August 21st, 2006 at 8:25 pm
75 more to go!
Waa hoo!
August 22nd, 2006 at 5:31 am
Well, if your source falls through, let me me know. I think I’m going to have to que that one up while I work today. I just need to make sure I don’t start singing out loud to myself….again.
August 22nd, 2006 at 5:33 am
Tony,
I enjoyed the SoaP expectations and review podcast. I also noticed a big jump in sound quality up from the Aviator episode. Keep it up and you can count on my vote at Podcast alley for your podcast.
Chris - I’ve got you covered as well.
On to 1000!
August 22nd, 2006 at 5:35 am
Well, off to work. See y’all at lunch.
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:05 am
Bye Ed!
Yeah Tony, I liked it too! Maybe we should all follow Ed to Podcast Alley and spread around some love!
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:22 am
Ed,
Thanks for the feedback. We’ve recorded about 6 or 7 different ways and are still trying to find the sound and method that works best for us.
If you get a chance before tomorrow night, leave us an email or voicemail or whatever and answer Dani’s question at the end.
We are counting on feedback to fill up the show
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:26 am
Charlie,
I’ll head to Podcast Alley shortly. I should start making a list of all the podcasts I need to vote for.
Also, there is a frequent contributor to our show that is sending in a VM to Wingin’ It this week to talk about some of those fucked up movies that you guys were mentioning in the previous shows. He’s got a few more suggestions for movies to add to your watch list. Listen for the VM from Darren… he’s a co-worker, and supposedly working on the logo for Fanboy Smackdown
August 22nd, 2006 at 7:04 am
Hehe, I can’t wait to hear Darren’s VM on WI. That should be fun to listen to. Plus I wonder if he will respect the short time limit. Questions questions.
I hope I can count on your votes in Podcast Alley as well, but I was thinking that I prefer Podcast Pickle cause you don’t have to vote more than once. You just make a podcast your favorite. We went nuts and got a bunch when we signed onto Podcast Pickle earlier this week.
Oh and Tony, you got some feedback on your comments board. Hehehe.
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:00 am
Darren + Time Limit = VM not getting played
Comments?
Comments?
Where?
runs off to http://www.fanboysmackdown.com (shameless plug)
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:53 am
LOL, nice. Funny thing is that I tried to leave you a second comment but it just would not take it. Crazy boards, maybe that is why you don’t have a lot of comments.
August 22nd, 2006 at 9:08 am
I’ve had problems on and off leaving comments on your message board…
I have to put in that goofy code twice. It’s like the code times out and you have to put the code in again after you enter it the first time.
I suppose I should report that to libsyn at some point
August 22nd, 2006 at 9:20 am
Podcast Pickle, eh? I’ll have to check that one out. You guys can count on my votes there as well.
Voting at Podcast Alley is pretty much a pain, but I’ve streamlined it somewhat and I figure it something I can do for you guys as a bit of thanks and support for your efforts.
August 22nd, 2006 at 9:22 am
Tony,
Now that you mention it, I just realized I didn’t quite make it to the end of the podcast as I had to stop driving. I’ll be sure to catch that and check out the question.
Keep on posting….
August 22nd, 2006 at 10:31 am
Actually Tony, I tried to enter the code 7 times without any success, before I finally gave up. It was the first time I ever had to enter it so many times. Usually it goes after 2 attempts (at least for me it is almost always 2 attempts), but 7 attempts and no go makes me go a little loopy.
Ed, about Podcast Pickle, the difference is that you have to sign up to vote there. You make an account and put in your favorites and never worry about it again.
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:01 am
Wow, there is a crappy afternoon shaping up for us here. Clouds have covered the afternoon sky and I can see rain falling in other parts of town. Wouldn’t you know it, I left my windows at the apartment open.
Anyone want to take bets on my apartment ending up with wet carpeting?
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:12 am
Mustn’t… comment… about… Chris’… wet carpeting…
Mustn’t… comment… about… Chris’… wet carpeting…
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:15 am
Chris,
There is a ‘bug’ thread about the comment thingee.
https://www.libsyn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3098
Hope they get this fixed soon… it’s a pain!
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:19 am
Ok… for now I’ve turned off Captcha… I wonder how many mortgage enlarged penis extra volume and speed to ejactulation hoodia african bank accounts we’ll get now.
August 22nd, 2006 at 11:41 am
Well that seems to have worked, but I can only imagine how many spams you will get. What a strange problem.
And congrats on not commenting about the wet carpeting. LOL.
August 22nd, 2006 at 1:12 pm
Oh and Tony, you got yourself some other comments on your board. Grounded decided to chime in on the Superman stuff.
I love comments boards.
August 22nd, 2006 at 1:44 pm
Dang! I think show 69 has gotten more comments today than the current VM show. Way to go you crazy 69 sunsabitches!
You know, I don’t have any code-dealie on SoB’s comments, and I don’t get tons of spam (knock wood). I get some, but not TONS.
Re: Tony’s carpet comment. Dude, you’d so fit in at Draco Vista. You’ve mastered the art of going-there-by-not-going-there.
Oh, and I’m thinking I’m Podcast Pickle bound…
August 22nd, 2006 at 2:11 pm
Woot! We went right nuts today!
And to steal a line from the guys posting on the newest VM show (Alvie to be specific)
GROUP HUG.
Hehe
August 22nd, 2006 at 2:17 pm
Charlie… any married man that wants to stay that way knows the fine art of going there by not going there…
I am sooooo gonna have to find a way to get out to Drinko Vista… err I mean Draco Vista. I have a cousin that lives in AZ… hmmm….
*GROUP HUG*
August 22nd, 2006 at 3:43 pm
You guys make me so proud *sniff*
Here we’re already almost at 950.
Couldn’t get to Podcast Pickle from work - Now that I’m home, I’ll be free to setup an account and plug for all y’all.
August 22nd, 2006 at 5:07 pm
Right nuts–are those the “Jacks” or the “Evos”?
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:29 pm
Hmm, I vote for a mix. Cause who doesn’t like mixed nuts?
August 22nd, 2006 at 6:44 pm
Ooooh Chris–you got 900 AND 950. What a milestoner. Dood…
August 22nd, 2006 at 7:05 pm
Yup yup, I try man. Spend hours trying to plan these events out.
August 22nd, 2006 at 8:52 pm
Lead the way!
Mixed nuts…..how’d I know we were going to end up there at some point
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:33 am
Hehe, you knew we would get to mixed nuts somewhere in the conversation? Wow! I had no clue until I put it to text.
On another note. Good morning everybody.
August 23rd, 2006 at 6:28 am
Hey Chris, Ed, Tony and any show 69 lurkers! Suddenly 1k doesn’t seem that far away. Nor, for that matter, does 1.2k….
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:24 am
Not too far away at all. And to think I always considered it a pipe dream. Goes to show what I know.
I wonder how the guys on the Deadpan forums manage to post so much. Even with taking time at work to post I can’t manage more than a few posts a day. It totally helps that yesterday was dead at work. Maybe that is how they do it. They got jobs where the work is slow to come in. Hmm, questions questions.
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:29 am
Not too far at all, Charlie.
We shouldn’t have too much trouble hitting 1k by this weekend.
And if we get hung up I can alway post a short story or two…
One
Paragraph
At
A
Time
Or just one short story so you can critique and/or discuss and/or shower me with praise for my brilliance and humility
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:29 am
Oh yeah…
Good Morning!
August 23rd, 2006 at 9:51 am
LOL
I bet we can be really good at the critiquing bit. Showering with praise will most likely more closely resemble some sort of snarky remark meant as a joke.
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:11 am
I would expect nothing less from the 69ers Chris
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:27 am
What is this “snarky” of which you speak?
Oh and as far as the Deadpan posting strategy…Maybe dedicated Deadpanite Ed can correct me on this, but the pattern I see is a flurry of posts from morning until afternoon, Monday through Friday, that becomes a trickle in the evening and basically dies on the weekends. I’m thinking this supports the slow work hypothesis.
Or, as I like to call it, “getting paid to screw around on the internet.”
Wait…was THAT “snarky”?
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:37 am
Hey, wait…
That posting strategy sounds somewhat familiar…. hmmmm
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:45 am
*glances around at work environment*
I don’t know what you’re talking about…
*hastily minimizes screen*
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:52 am
*Alt-Tabs back in*
Wouldn’t possibly know anything about such a thing…
*Alt-Tabs back out*
August 23rd, 2006 at 12:50 pm
LOL, I wish I was able to do that kind of stuff in general. And I am just a PhD student. I have got to be messing up this whole grad student thing somehow if I am not posting more often.
Hehe, and what is snarky? Hmmm, that sounds like a good question, maybe we should discuss.
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:51 pm
34 more til 1k.
We should sooo be able to get that by Saturday.
Charlie, are you going to be at Draco Vista on Saturday to brag on the 69ers?
August 23rd, 2006 at 3:09 pm
Hehe, yeah, we need someone to tell them so that they can call us even more crazy. Of course this is the good kind of crazy. Wait, is there such a thing as a good kind of crazy?
August 23rd, 2006 at 4:24 pm
I’m not sure about recording Saturday. Last I heard, Evo and maybe Jack, and maybe even the KAMNs were not going to be able to make it, but having a big event like 69’s 1k milestone might just spur me on to another “Gun to Mike’s Head” show.
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:10 pm
LOL, are you sure you want to try that so soon after the last one? He may take exception to it and not let you back into the studio. We need our beer podcast man. Just saying.
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:21 pm
Well, over at the deadpan, they basically treat the message board as a personal IM channel during the work day. I’d bet Alvie and Andrea each will put a good 30-40 messages a day talking back and forth.
I check in at morning, lunch, and evening - I have to work when I’m at work. so I might only get about 10 posts a day over there. The conversation will vary wildly over the course of the week between shows.
And yes, it is pretty much dead on the weekend.
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:49 pm
Maybe us 69ers could join you… err… DAMN… I won’t be able to this week. I was going to say we could join you on Skype, but we are taking Holden (That voice you hear saying ‘Fanboy Smackdown’ at the end of the promo) to a local waterpark.
But it would still be very cool for the 69er’s to get skyped in
August 23rd, 2006 at 6:59 pm
Hehe, I would love to Skype in, but remember my mic? No one would survive the show.
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:02 pm
Boy howdy, that WI’s crew is turning into a bunch of slackers!
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:23 pm
Well, Ed, don’t quote me on the head-count thing. It was something I “gathered” as I was saying my goodbyes, and hyperbole could have been involved in a significant way. Let’s just say I’m “pretty sure” Evo’s otherwise engaged. The rest…not so sure (things seem to be pretty much in flux there these days).
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:31 pm
Don’t worry, Charlie, I won’t rat you out
August 24th, 2006 at 5:05 am
Alright, only 25 more to go, we can get there in time for Saturday.
No bout adoubt it!
August 24th, 2006 at 5:06 am
And just how crazy in the Deadpan? Episode 21 post late yesterday evening. I wake up this morning to check in and there are already 75 comments on the board for it!!!!
August 24th, 2006 at 5:09 am
And one other thing - what takes up all those posts over there?
Well, this past week, we got off on about 100 posts talking about Blade Runner and whether Deckard was a replicant or not.
I still vote no.
August 24th, 2006 at 5:11 am
Well, that’s my contribution for this morning. Time for work. I trust you guys to hold the fort until lunchtime.
August 24th, 2006 at 7:04 am
I am sure that we can take care of posting a few comments alrighty.

Oh and who was Deckard again? Harrison Ford’s character? It has been over 10 years since I saw Blade Runner. Should I be hanging my head in shame yet?
August 24th, 2006 at 7:30 am
Chris…
Yep… you should.
If it’s not there already, add ‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” to you book club suggestions for 2GAAP.
When is the next book club episode? I dusted off my copy of Good Omens the other night while the kiddo was splashing away in the tub.
August 24th, 2006 at 10:12 am
We will be doing that episode right after the fan VM ep. If we get any fan VM, so far we only have the one that we used as an example. Go Henk go.
August 24th, 2006 at 10:16 am
So, if I understand that right, I’ve got a bit of time to finish up with Good Omens.
And ya know I think doin’ a whole show is a pretty damned fanish thing to do… (Is there a better place for a comment like this to go than in the #69 comments section?
)
August 24th, 2006 at 10:29 am
LOL, I was thinking it was a bit ironic that I was talking a fan show in the show 69 comments section. Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to think so.
And yeah, you got loads of time to read Good Omens. Which is a good thing, cause that means that I got loads of time to read it.

Charlie,
I am just getting around to listening to Speaking of Beer. I have to say I was a bit stand-offish at first. The reason is that for the past 20 years the house I was living in, then the birthday/Christmas/Wedding/kid’s and wive’s birthday and Christmas presents were all purchased in large part by one of those fizzy, yellow beer making companies.
I’m in the St. Louis Area, so it’s not too tough to figure out. Mom works for Anheuser-Busch (yep, I’m one of those people that can spell it without looking it up)
AB is generally frowned upon when talking to ‘real’ beer drinkers and anything other than AB products are generally frowned upon when in the presence of my family.
Also, I found that most of the beer I was drinking was giving me wicked-bad headaches. I’ve since figured out that it is in some measure due to allergies. I have been able to drink a few things without trouble, but the old default of Bud Light does me in the next morning… even having one is worse for me than the drinking fest I had at the lake a few weeks back(More on that one in another message). Anyway, I can handle Bud Select, Michelob Ultra, Bud Ice, and Red Wolf(which was a favorite that is no longer made).
The other Tony brought over some Shiner Bock a few weeks back that we tore through during a few of our episodes (we generally have a few drinks while we talk to help with the casual, conversational style… or at least that’s the excuse.)
With the problems I’ve had with beers in the past, I tend to stick more with Bourbon, wine (Cabernet or Merlot), and Scotch… with the occasional Tequila or mixed drink thrown in.
So… since chatting with you guys, and running low on podiobooks, I decided to download some random episodes of Speaking of Beer.
I started with #6, I figured a ‘Gateway Beer’ episode would be a good place to start.
I thought it was a great episode and found that it was a good place to learn some of the terminology of beers. I like the way the show is formatted and makes me think that someday we might have a structured format to our show (or not :P)
I have a few others in the queue that I’ll be listening to over the next couple of days, but wanted to let you know that I might start dipping my toe back in the beer, as long as I don’t have those wicked side-effects that I can get… perhaps the more I experiment, the quicker I’ll figure out exactly what is doing it and can enjoy other beers without fear.
Thanks for a great introduction into the smaller brews and if you ever want to do a show on Bourbon or Scotch or anything else, I’m there!
Yeah, I know I could have sent this on the Speaking of Beer forum, or just sent Charlie an Email, but screw it… onward toward 1k!
August 24th, 2006 at 10:38 am
Looks up at that last post…
Yeah, it’s not obvious that I’m a writer or anything….
August 24th, 2006 at 10:52 am
You go, Tony.
Charlie did the Alternative Gateway episode in reponse to my quest to find a beer that I’d drink. Shiner Bock was one of the recommendations from the show. Alas, it didn’t work for me, but Charlie and I are still on the quest, as earlier comments in the thread will attest to.
I’ve actually got some notes on alternatives, I just need to get my lazy ass up to Houston to find a real liquor store to get some of these beers from.
August 24th, 2006 at 11:03 am
Ed,
Fortunately we have a few different stores in the area that have large selections, so I’m not too worried about finding something, but, it would be nice to be able to get something that I can find in the grocery store too… That’d be the lazy-bastard in me
August 24th, 2006 at 12:28 pm
Quebec also sells beer in the grocery stores, but in NB to buy any liquor you have to go to the, you guessed it, liquor store. I have to admit, 7 day a week access to liquor is going to be a difficult thing to give up. Still I think I will survive.
I wonder what it is that you are allergic to in the beers Tony. *ponders*
August 24th, 2006 at 12:54 pm
Hey Guys,
Sorry I couldn’t jump in earlier…had to work at work today! But in this interstitial time between teaching and parenting, let me just add my little bit for the cause…
Glad you liked what you heard Tony! Sorry beer hasn’t been your friend historically, but kudos for checking out possibilities beyond the fizz. Hopefully your reaction is to something AB puts in there to stabilize the beer or make it more consistent from batch to batch. Such an additive would probably be missing in a smaller brewer’s more “pure” beer.
I’ve got another “Gateway” SoB in the pipeline (as Ed alluded to) but it’s a ways off (about a month). I’m really kind of proud of the last two shows 11 and 12 (an audio diptych) so I’m curious what you might think of them.
Sorry to hear your access to booze is to be more limited, Chris. Hopefully you’ll be able to stock up in times of plenty to get you through the lean hours.
August 24th, 2006 at 2:16 pm
Charlie,
I just got done listening to the Hop-a-palooza episode.
It was great hearing Evo actually sound surprised about something!
I’m about to dive into the ‘Alternative Lawnmower Beers’ show… and plan on listening to your two most recent shows tomorrow.
Great stuff!
August 24th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
And since I eluded to it in my long-ass post…
It’s not a great idea to mix Bourbon, Crown Royal, vodka and 1800…
especially the night before you are supposed to spend about 6 hours on a boat.
August 24th, 2006 at 3:13 pm
Ok…
Before I head home for the day.
The next post from me will be a piece of flash fiction that I wrote about… oh… 8 or so years ago… I recently rewrote it and submitted it to Archon’s writing contest. Archon is the St Louis Area Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention.
This is the original version of the story.
Feel free to shred it in all of your glorious snarkiness…. since I’ve rewritten it anyway
August 24th, 2006 at 3:14 pm
Why I Write
The page approached the throne. The whole of his young life had been in preparation of this moment. He had waited each day of his fifteen years for the scene that now was before him. This was to be his Quickening; the day when he would chose the path that his life would take.
Reaching the base of the throne, Erick fell dutifully into genuflection. “Sire, I, Erick, son of Charles, come before the court seeking guidance and duty.�
The King did a masterful job of hiding his boredom. He could not even count the number of these ceremonies he had presided over. The youths that appeared before him, most often, would be here again within a few short years as soldiers, appearing before the king prior to being sent into battle. The King was also aware of how much this day meant to those young men, and gave each of them, no matter how bored he grew, the pomp and circumstance that they had built in their heads.
After a long moment, the king spoke, his voice booming through the royal hall. “The court welcomes Erick, son of Charles. Your request for guidance is granted. You may ask three questions of any member of this court.�
Erick clenched his hands into fists to keep them from shaking as he bowed deeply before the king. Straightening himself he turned toward and approached the Knight Protector, the royal military advisor. “Sir,� His voice crackled with youth and nervousness. Clearing his throat, he continued, “Sir, why do you fight?�
This was not a common question for the warrior to hear. Most of the young men, who came to him, wanted to know of war, honor, valor, and victory. His mind, honed for speed on countless battlefields, was still able to respond quickly. “My duty requires me to uphold the law and protect the way of life for all who live within the lands of our sovereign lord.� With his answer, he pulled from his sheath a simple steel blade, handing it to Erick.
Erick bowed in thanks, and respect to the Knight Protector. He, then, approached the Bishop. “And sir, why do you pray?� he asked of the spiritual advisor to the crown.
The Bishop smiled, the way only priests and grandfathers can, and replied, “My boy, I pray so that the Lord, our God, will shine his mercy and grace upon our kingdom. So that he will raise all of our brother countrymen to the gates of heaven when it is time for them to depart the realm of the living.� He stands and pulls from his robes an ornate Bible. “In celebration of your quickening, Erick�
“Thank you, sir.� Again, Erick bowed. He, lastly, turned toward the Shaper, the storyteller, the keeper of dreams, and the weaver of fables. “Sir, why do you write?�
The Shaper smiled, “Why do you drink water?�
“Sir?� Erick stalled with a questioning glance. He had not been expecting to have to answer any questions, especially none so bizarre.
“Why do you drink water?� the Shaper politely repeated.
“Well, sir,� Erick fumbled, “I drink so that I can stay alive, so that my body doesn’t wither and die.�
“Precisely,� the Shaper smiled his response, handing Erick a book of blank pages.
August 24th, 2006 at 3:15 pm
Wow, the formatting on that sucked…
Oh well
August 24th, 2006 at 3:16 pm
Ok… last call for comments for Dani’s question.
Are there any plotlines or elements of movies that you will always go watch regardless of how poorly it is reviewed or how bad you hear the movie is?

Would I pad out the comments just to get #1000?
um…
Yep!
August 24th, 2006 at 3:53 pm
LOL, go Tony go. How evil of you to nab the 1000 comment mark. I had worked so hard on the last two. Or maybe I just happened to luck out. I wonder which one it was.
Cute story by the way. I pat it on the head and walk away now. (How was that for snarky? I’m not good at being snarky when I try….too forced I suppose…ah well, practice right?)
August 24th, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Way to go Tony on the 1k award! With only a little reaching and padding…
August 24th, 2006 at 4:33 pm
Practice makes perfect, Chris…
Reaching and padding… I know there is a joke in there somewhere, but I get the feeling I don’t want to follow through on it, Charlie.
August 24th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
Don’t tell me you guys are giving up now?!?
only 196 more to go to 1.2K
August 25th, 2006 at 5:08 am
Just taking a little breather…
I’m staring down the barrel of a pretty busy Friday, so don’t look for me until this afternoon. But it’s looking likely that I’ll be up at DVS tomorrow; wouldn’t it be cool if I could say, “yup thanks to the dedication of a few crazy sunsabitches, show 69 hit the 1200 goal…”
Just sayin’…
August 25th, 2006 at 5:14 am
I’m not giving up.
Man, I’m listening to FanboySmackDown 13 now. I’ll have to subject myself to some ritual beatings as I never managed to compose the response.
Although, you guys cheated a bit. When I really got to think about it, there’s very little that will consistently get me to a movie theater anymore, and that was going to be the major thrust of my comment. But, since y’all expanded it to just watching, that’s really a different question.
I’ll have to ponder some more.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:17 am
LOL, wow, I guess we could do that if we really tried.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:23 am
but
August 25th, 2006 at 5:24 am
OK, Chris, I’m listening to your show 24 about Stargate. May I humbly recommend this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009EHJV/ref=pd_ys_iyr46/104-6886693-9594321?ie=UTF8
It’s cheap and the sound quality is excellent, especially for the price. I had been using a plug in analog mike to my sound card and then changed to this USB mike. The difference is quite stark. Best $20 I’ve spent.
Make it Spin!
August 25th, 2006 at 5:25 am
I
August 25th, 2006 at 5:25 am
Oh, yeah - congrats to the group on breaking 1000!
August 25th, 2006 at 5:26 am
Charlie, what are you, some kind of teacher - trying to push us to grow?
August 25th, 2006 at 5:27 am
Only 188 more to go. Do we need somebody to call out a pace for us?
August 25th, 2006 at 5:30 am
Chris, did I stun you? You’re stuck in midsentence.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:33 am
See, this whole moving thing is going to kill me, I swear. Or at least my will to podcast. First I get separated from my computer and my microphone, and then my connection keeps fuzzing out on Skype. I really can’t wait to get back home to my regular equipment.
I don’t know how much more I can take.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:38 am
and for some reason my connection to the internet today is going super slow, so you can post like 4 comments in the time it takes one of mine to load.
I miss my old set up.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:41 am
Oh, and please don’t take that too harshly. The show is great and I have no trouble understanding you in the show. But I do find that I have to take my headphones off for a bit to take a break from the hiss every so often.
But the content is great and I’m going to keep on listening.
Alright, that’s all I can do for now. Time to get to work.
August 25th, 2006 at 5:42 am
Ed what time do you get up? Cause you are always posting so early. You an early riser?
August 25th, 2006 at 5:43 am
and good morning
August 25th, 2006 at 5:52 am
well, time to shower and get going to work.
August 25th, 2006 at 6:50 am
I don’t know, if we don’t get too many more posts soon, I don’t think that we will be able to hit 1200 today.
But I guess I can keep trying.
