Wingin’ It #88: Jack, take a picture of the Quick Stop for me!
On today’s show: Mike, Joe, Summer, Jack, Kris, Debbie, Rhettro, and Kuato.
First Drink of the Day, a toast to Raymond Thomas: Jubalale, something that begins with “H” for Jack, Beelzebuth, Sam Adam’s Cherry Wheat, some Smirnoff shit, and some more of my Uncle Steve’s brew, don’t remember which one it is.
- And now for something light and frivolous:
- Kuato news blah blah tumorcakes, and Super Colon Blow.
- Jack is moving on to New Jersey. Paul from Des Moines and KfK present the Top Ten Reasons We Love Jack Mangan.
- We got a new click grid, ’cause Michael needs a new mixer board.
- Zombies are hot. Check out the Zombie Channel.
- IMP!! Instead of reading the phone book, she reads a love poem by Gias Catullus.
- Mike rants about the midwest. The word, not the place. Because a name shouldn’t apparently have any historical significance.
- States as body parts.
- From World Con 2006, Scifi Poetry Slam: In Bubastis, by Denise Dumars
- Do you do, or do you don’t do Christmas?
- Jimi sings about Kuato. Worried there for a second, weren’t you. Thanks, Bill.
- Jimmy, the other one, is a lazy bastard, or on the run.
- Jack tells a crazy dad story. Apparently he’s the only one with a crazy dad.
- Karen from Kalifornia: Fuck 2006. But she says it cooler than that, and makes my right eye tear up.
- Speaking of porn… The scifi porn podcast!
- Chris the Fixed Kitty, stuck in traffic, needs some more contributions. Send a cool, real name place. We’ve left Ballsack, Alberta, and need the letter “C.” Send in contributions to podcast at gettingby dot net, or (510) 402-4888.

“I’m not dead yet.”
All of my co-workers are convinced of my insanity now. Thanks, Joe, for the uncontrollable mirth that pulled me out of my chair and into a fetal position.

If Florida is the junk, that makes most of the US ass…
December 13th, 2006 at 1:10 pm

December 13th, 2006 at 1:26 pm
I don’t want to know what’s hanging off California then.
December 13th, 2006 at 2:53 pm
BAH HA!
December 13th, 2006 at 3:52 pm
Oy…was this the Humbug WI show? Where’s the X-mas cheer?
Wow…so does the US need an “Extreme Makeover”? A California lift here, a Texas tuck there, botox in Florida? LOL

Okay, nevermind….Karen’s message got me teary eyed…*sniff*…ahem…I got dirt in my eye!

My Personal opinion about Christmas, being that I live in So Cal, is that it’s WAY overdone. I mean, seriously, I’ve seen Christmas decorations out since Late August/Early September. When I was a kid, those decorations didn’t show up until just after Thanksgiving. I mean, that at least gets you into the spirit. Christmas Carols in September? Come on.
I hear you about the over commercialization of Christmas, but Charlie Brown was talking about that in the 70s and now even A Charlie Brown Christmas IS COMMERCIALIZED! WTF!!
My wife and I (and the rest of her family) have decided that Christmas is about the kids and we’ve kept it that way for a few years now. It makes the holidays so much easier to bear when you’re not concerned about buying stuff for people that they really don’t want and what they do want they can buy for themselves with the money they would have spent on you.
Whew. Sorry. Had to rant there.
Joe! I hope you keep us posted. Good, bad, or indifferent, we’re there for you! Just don’t let TD0013 think he can take a blaster to Kuato. That might hurt a little bit.
Jack, Happy Trails.
Mike, with all this crap going on, you’re not getting any love, are you? Even KfK is talking about everyone (and I mean everyone) else but you. Sheesh. You poor guy.
Well, this show made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me wince (colonoscopy up to the stomach?), it made me wish that Christmas was already past. What more could I ask for?

Don’t worry about me JR. I’m just happy to still be here and still going strong.
Who would have thought that this little hobby I started 5 years ago would have led to all of this. I got really reflective this past week (No, not shiny) and was rather impressed with all that has happened with Dragon Page, Slice and Farpoint Media. Next year Zombie Channel will shake things up, so the ride continues.
As for love, all I need is a new mixer and my life will be a little easier. I’m still the guy in the background pulling the strings, and pushing the buttons.

Santa…
1) Wears a red suit.
2) Delivers toys at night.
3) Seemingly immortal.
Sounds like a vampire to me. AND invited into lots of homes…. VAMPIRE.
Or Satan… Check it out.. Santa. Satan. Think the spelling is similar for no reason???
And the most Damning evidence of all… Have you ever seen them in a picture together?????
Although… I’ve never seen Evo and Satan in a picture together, either… SUDDENLY IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!!!
P from A.

Evo is Satan Clause?
Now the truth comes out. We know why he has been MIA for the last several weeks. Getting ready for his yearly evil adventures. B&E, stuffing things in stockings, fraternizing with reindeer…..

I hate to break it to you, but it is Balzac (after the writer) Alberta. However, there is always - Climax, Saskatchewan ( a perennial source of amusement to Canadians).

I don’t think I could send this to you guys (too stalkerish) but these cookies go perfectly with beer.
Nippy Cheese Shortbread Cookies
1 250g container McLaren’s Imperial Cheese (in the red container)
1½ tsp cayenne pepper, 1¼ tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt, 1½ tsp rosemary
4 cups flour, 1 lb butter
Cream the butter and cheese together. Add the spices. Mix well. Add the flour. Mix well. Form into cookies. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Makes around 60 cookies.
Enjoy!

Thomas: The Smoked Porter and the IPA. Then when you get it, pour 1/2 and 1/2 into a glass. Voila! The Smoked Indian.
J.R. - I think we all know who my favorite at the WI show is. Witty, sarcastic, original, with enough sex appeal to knock over the troops. Isn’t that right, (name deleted by administrator)?

The midwest has always concerned me… considering that the westernmost corner of Virginia is further west than Detroit, Michigan and Columbus, Ohio, I really don’t understand what the mid-west is…
December 15th, 2006 at 3:51 pm
I always got weirded out when people in DC and New York would say “well so and is out in the West in Chicago.” I’d blink and say no.
