Relayed from JB: “someone gently remind Chris Fisher that Memorial day kicks off the summer, and Labor day wraps it up…”
(Note - Evo had to step up and close ditto’s italic)
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:35 am
Good ol ditto. Always the competant relayer.
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:36 am
“So, freakin’ Jack Mangan doesn’t like my freakin’ show notes, eh? Well, frell you, Jack! You pass away! You pass away and burn in Heck! I apologize for my obscenities, but sometimes I get so gosh darned peeved.”
Whoa whoa settle, settle… lets not say anything we’re gonna regret…
*secretly wishes someone says something theyll regret*
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:38 am
I hate italics
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:39 am
Senses trouble brewing…
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:39 am
Do’h. Stupid programs that don’t validate their input.
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:55 am
*scratches head trying to come up with something he’ll regret*
Glad to hear you shaved your goatee, Alvie. You should keep it off.
*waits, poised*
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:00 am
*thinks*
Hmm, oddly not so pissed
*stratches chin. Realizes goatee is gone*
I kill you Charlie!
*strikes*

“Dani gets firsties, plus the “Early Riser/Insomniacâ€? award for WI show #73. Way to go Dani!”
I’d say I am just a computer-generated figment of the internet imagination, but you’ve seen me now…
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:19 am
I’m pretty gullible Dani..you might be able to convince me you were a computer generated hologram. Oh wait…I saw you pick up a beer…
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:26 am
I’m not going to try and get into the other world that is the comment system, I just want to see the posters on the wall that “Evil” got.
August 23rd, 2006 at 10:36 am
[...] Another feature of our Arizona visit was the chance to hang out for a bit with Mike Mennenga and Evo Terra, who are responsible for The Dragon Page; I had a chance to hang out during one of the VoiceMail segments. It was hilarious. I was also interviewed on the regular show. [...]

Linked from my blog: http://www.walterhunt.com/blog/?p=122. What a great time, guys - thanks.
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:29 pm
You know as I was listen to the show I thought with Evo’s exit promo for invasion, “wow it does suck, I wonder if Mike will drop in one of the better ones from earlier in the recording day.” Then it hit me, this wasn’t the live feed it was the actual show
and good job with the audio Mike!
August 23rd, 2006 at 2:30 pm
So I listened to the intro and keyed in the word ‘piles.’ I looked it up. Piles is an archaic term for hemorrhoids.
August 23rd, 2006 at 4:39 pm
Ouch. Let my harsh reprimand serve as a warning to others:
Cross not Mason Rocket, lest ye face his wrath and be goshdarned to heck.
August 23rd, 2006 at 4:53 pm
Just wanted to let you boys know, I have approximately 436 mosquito bites. And they itch. Who would’ve thunk that there were insects in AZ? Where the hell did they come from? And why are they all on my ass?
*Correction. Two on my ankle.*
Next time, I’ll make sure to bring the repellant. Hey, maybe it’ll work on Evo!
August 23rd, 2006 at 5:31 pm
“Next time, I’ll make sure to bring the repellant. Hey, maybe it’ll work on Evo!”
Oh Karen! Will you have to spray it on his balls? LMAO!
Walter- I did a blog entry too! Click on my name!
August 23rd, 2006 at 7:15 pm
That’s IT!
I’ve had it with Evo’s Motherfuckin’ Balls,
On his Motherfuckin’ Podcasts!
Strap yourselves in, I’m gonna open up a window…
August 23rd, 2006 at 8:03 pm
Gall dern Jack! That Mason Rocket doesnt tarnation scare the hecky deck outta me!!! Gall darn hoopty hoopt tarnation goshes etc… so on and so forth.

Is there a live feed this week? Is it at Worldcon or Draco Vista? Just wondering to ensure my weekly fix.
August 24th, 2006 at 9:23 am
Alright, let’s see those posters on Flickr, por favor!
August 24th, 2006 at 12:49 pm
Karen 20-25 years ago there were no mosquitos in Phoenix. Due to the population explosion and most homes having grass, trees and swimming pools so they have created a new microclimate that is more humid and mosquito prevelent than natural conditions allow. Hence the bites…
*after 5 edits for neutrality and getting rid of my typical anti-Phx ranting*
August 24th, 2006 at 2:55 pm
Evo snagged the feed server to take to WorldCon. No live feed this week. Sorry folks, you’ll just have to hang out in the chat room without the live audio.
Next weekend is Dragon Con. We may have something streaming out, but it may not be the show. I’ll have more details when we get to Atlanta. I know the Parsec awards will be live, and a couple other panels. Go to http://www.parsecawards.com and watch for anouncments when the weekend starts.
August 24th, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Thanks for the update Mike

Saw Snakes on a Plane, Loved it.

LOL
From Fangoria.com:
“While it is no secret that fan appreciation and actual involvement with director David R. Ellis’ SNAKES ON A PLANE has been instrumental in shaping the successful New Line Cinema release, ne’er-do-wells in Phoenix, Arizona took their apparent grassroots support of the film a bit too far. According to AZ’s Local 6 News, two live diamondback rattlesnakes were released during a screening of SNAKES in a darkened theater at the AMC Desert Ridge, and the resulting panic prompted the need for snake wranglers to be called in.
Tom Whiting, herpetological association representative to Local 6, comments, “That to me is very scary. I would hate to be watching a movie about snakes and have a rattlesnake bite me.â€? Adds Phoenix Herpetological Society spokesman Daniel Marchand, “This thing is under someone’s chairâ€â€obviously all they got to do is startle this thing. It’s dark. They can’t see you. If it’s scared, boom; it strikes.â€?
While theatergoers suffered no injuries and the snakes have been released into the desert, the William Castle-inspired culprits themselves have yet to be apprehended, which leads this writer to wonder, “What’s under your theater seat?�

Quick Dragon*Con question.
Are you guys bringing any beer openers to Dragon*Con?
If so, put me down for one!
August 27th, 2006 at 7:57 pm
Wish I was going to Dragon*Con!! I had to settle for going to WorldCon this year - but I did get to meet Evo at one of the panels.
Have a good one at Dragon Con… I look forward to listening to the goings on.
