first! from those show notes, i can’t wait till the last little bit
January 10th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
KFK - Really nice essay!
oh, and the rest of the show wasn’t too shabby either.
January 10th, 2007 at 2:20 pm
I was channeling Mur.
Actually, it was inspired by being forced to watch football 24/7 during the holidays. I’m sure all you sports fans were chortling and rubbing your hands together, but for me it was like a Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie Marathon. Painful, yet riveting in a strangely fascinating way.
And, and the ohmibod tracks are coming…Mike, can we put this on the Kiltwedgie?
January 10th, 2007 at 4:22 pm
Seriously, Brian said magerzines in that ad.
January 11th, 2007 at 6:48 am
KfK…did you know that Skiffy is calling their Saturday Night lineup “the scarriest night on television” in light of their programming?
Yeah…not a good choice of words considering the offering from Assylum Pictures and SciFi Pictures.
I think they should change it to your assessment: “SciFi Saturdays. Painful, yet Riveting in a a Strangely Fascinating Way.”
January 11th, 2007 at 8:21 am
Mike wants me to show up over here more and show my love. *unzips pants*
There, you happy now? I hope so. =P
January 11th, 2007 at 8:35 am
We love you Mike!
January 11th, 2007 at 8:35 am
Hi Tee!
Rhettro, put that thing away. You’ll scare the kids.
January 11th, 2007 at 8:36 am
*runs on naked*
Hey Wingin It!!!!
I love Mike and Evo and Summer and Joe SOOOO much I didnt even bother getting dressed this morning before I came over here.
So, now that I’m here, wheres the orgy?
January 11th, 2007 at 8:38 am
Wow Rhettro, that looks just like a man’s penis … only much smaller!
So should we get a table or just all head for the Bar?
There is a Bar in here isn’t there?
January 11th, 2007 at 8:39 am
of course theres a bar over here! Except its got WAYYYYY too much beer.
January 11th, 2007 at 8:41 am
Sweet!
ASH - It’s a good thing for you and Rhettro that this place is located in a warm climate.
January 11th, 2007 at 8:44 am
Lily Munster - now she’s method acting
January 11th, 2007 at 8:48 am
Is there any service in this place or can we just help ourselves?
January 11th, 2007 at 8:51 am
Joe, that was just the hea… never mind.
January 11th, 2007 at 8:53 am
Ah … head cheese.
ew
January 11th, 2007 at 8:54 am

January 11th, 2007 at 8:56 am

That sounds disgusting.

January 11th, 2007 at 8:57 am

January 11th, 2007 at 9:00 am
Wasn’t certian about the exact date.
MMmmm vodka. Maybe when I finish this coffee I get healthy and switch to Orange Juice … and VODKA!
January 11th, 2007 at 9:02 am
What do you get the guy who gave up everything to get everything that meant anything to him?
January 11th, 2007 at 9:03 am
I should point out that people should show the forums some love too…

January 11th, 2007 at 9:05 am
yah, um … about that.
There’s this whole “signing up” thing you have to do and I don’t want to end up with “clicky Tendions” like Jeremy
January 11th, 2007 at 9:08 am
Mornin’ Wingin’ It-
Yes Andrea, Sunday would be the day
*snags a doughnut*

KRISSSS!!!! (quickly catches his balance and checks behind him for abandon wells)
January 11th, 2007 at 9:11 am
Ok, big work push. Back in a few.
January 11th, 2007 at 9:12 am
I am so looking to hear Mike’s voice.
Sorry I didn’t contact you when I got to Phoenix. My time was short with long days…jet lag?
January 11th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Hey J0e- is just me, or do you startle easily?
I know, you just want to reopen the bell discussion, don’t ya
January 11th, 2007 at 9:18 am
KRIS -
Have you ever considered a piercing? That could lend itself to all kinds of bell possibilities.
I’m just say’n is all.
January 11th, 2007 at 9:20 am
Wow… the party showed up. I’ll be right back. Gotta get the keg.
January 11th, 2007 at 9:23 am
Who says I don’t…. well actually, just the ears…
Must leave for work and a meeting, see you back at Deadpan later though-
January 11th, 2007 at 9:24 am
Unless of course the party stays here
January 11th, 2007 at 9:26 am
Keg? I’ve got the funnel!
January 11th, 2007 at 9:28 am
See ya in a bit Kris.
Hey ASH left her clothes laying over here at the end of the bar.
Where’d she get off to?
January 11th, 2007 at 9:31 am
Anyone care for a Mimosa??
I made a whole Pitcher!
January 11th, 2007 at 9:32 am

You are welcome to come watch the Gay Rugby Match.
January 11th, 2007 at 9:34 am

January 11th, 2007 at 9:35 am

January 11th, 2007 at 9:36 am
CRIKEY GOV’NER!
January 11th, 2007 at 9:44 am
Thin Ice, Joe…Thin Ice.
January 11th, 2007 at 10:10 am
Debbie - Magerzines? I don’t think so but then again I don’t have good headphones to tell for sure.
January 11th, 2007 at 10:10 am
I BLAME IT ON THE BROWNIES!!
January 11th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Turn off the capslock Brian. My ears are hurting.
January 11th, 2007 at 10:32 am
(crawls out of bunker)
I blame my Rugby comments as the brownies as well.
Bad brownies. Naughty brownies. Sit! … Stay!
Gotta go now.
Might catch up with you guys for a late lunch at The Deadpan Bar.
January 11th, 2007 at 10:45 am
*Sticks head in the door*
Wow, you mean there’s more to Farpoint Media than Jack Mangan’s Deadpan?
January 11th, 2007 at 10:59 am
No Ed…. There is only deadpan.
Deadpan is the way.
January 11th, 2007 at 11:03 am
Ditto - That’s the whole point! I was screaming it to the hills!

January 11th, 2007 at 12:12 pm

January 11th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
ASH, eating bad brownies?
Stay away from those randy leprachauns! Nothing good can come from the midget porn.
But I’ll make us a shaker of Sex with Six, seeing how you like vodka like me. *hands ASH a beautiful red martini*
January 11th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Great essay, KfK. Sorry to hear about the job. I hope it had nothing to do with any complaints you made about a certain dumbass.
January 11th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Kris - What’s the recipe for the S4S ?
ASH - Um, I left the clothes on the Bar … but ditto has been in here so there is no telling… and do something about those brownie crumbs before someone get’s hurt!
January 11th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Sex with Six:
1 shot of POM juice
1 shot of vodka (top shelf, naturally)
1 Tbls of marachino cherry juice
1 marachino cherry with a metal skewer in it
Shake with ice, pour into classic martini glass.
Enjoy.
January 11th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
69sies????
Did I finally get a 69sy ???
January 11th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
How bout now
January 11th, 2007 at 1:32 pm
That’s what it’s come down too.
It’s the little, teeny victories in life that get me through the day.
January 11th, 2007 at 1:33 pm
That and all that intravenous heroin
January 11th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
Way to kill the conversation with your disgusting drug talk….
January 11th, 2007 at 4:11 pm
Fine. So, name some non disgusting ones!
Speaking of which … I foolishly followed the link to “The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight”.
The Horror
The Horror
The Horror
It might be possible to be MORE 80s then that but it would be difficult.
January 11th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
There is no horror there, it was teh awesmoe.
January 11th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
It was like watching fugitives from a travelling, off-broadway production of”Cats” .
January 11th, 2007 at 6:15 pm
Thank you, KfK! I’ve been making the same argument for a while, and how it drives me nuts that there really aren’t that many big differences. You rock!
January 12th, 2007 at 6:26 am
KfK,
Should we consider offering some of the R-and-D recipes at the live WI at D*C Live? Might be an investment, but I think we could hav an open bar, drink menus etc.?
Ditto…how the frak did we miss each other? Shall we make up for it in 2007?
BTW…if anyone’s interested, I’m heading to Des Moines! Paul is offering me a couch and I’m heading out to DemiCon! So, who wants to meet halfway in the midwest?
January 12th, 2007 at 7:38 am
“Way to kill the conversation with your disgusting drug talk….”
And this from a man who plays footsie ball with gay men.
Thanks, Shannon! I’ll take the Vulcans by 10 points.
January 12th, 2007 at 8:14 am
Hey Karen,
Your segment was really good this week.
January 12th, 2007 at 8:42 am
Oh yeah…Summer…thank you for the happy ending! Made my morning commute smoooooooooooooooooooooooth! :p
January 12th, 2007 at 9:06 am
So, Karen, are you going to come out to Phoenix Feb 13th to watch the gay men play rugby??
January 12th, 2007 at 9:33 am
Man my head hurts.. between the brownies and Sex with Six.. I gotta BAD hangover
I wanna see gay men play rugby
When are you playing in Chicago???
January 12th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Actually, I’m shooting for riding out to AZ the last week in January to take Joe’s temp…and not with my finger, either.
Not that the idea of being surrounded with hunky, sweaty, atheletes isn’t tempting. However, said atheletes would only be interested in my presence if it guarenteed beer, and not for any other reason.
January 12th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Just dropping in to give some Michael and Evo Wingin’ It love!
Hope all is going well and here’s the latest weather out in Hong Kong!
AT 2 P.M. AT THE HONG KONG OBSERVATORY THE AIR TEMPERATURE WAS
19 DEGREES CELSIUS AND THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY 70 PER CENT.
DURING THE PAST HOUR THE MEAN UV INDEX RECORDED AT KING’S PARK
WAS 4. THE INTENSITY OF UV RADIATION WAS MODERATE.
PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT:
THE FIRE DANGER WARNING IS YELLOW AND THE FIRE RISK IS HIGH.
THE AIR TEMPERATURES AT OTHER PLACES WERE:
KING’S PARK 19 DEGREES;
WONG CHUK HANG 21 DEGREES;
TA KWU LING 23 DEGREES;
LAU FAU SHAN 20 DEGREES;
TAI PO 19 DEGREES;
SHA TIN 21 DEGREES;
TUEN MUN 21 DEGREES;
TSEUNG KWAN O 20 DEGREES;
SAI KUNG 19 DEGREES;
CHEUNG CHAU 20 DEGREES;
CHEK LAP KOK 19 DEGREES;
TSING YI 20 DEGREES;
SHEK KONG 22 DEGREES;
TSUEN WAN 20 DEGREES.
January 14th, 2007 at 9:30 am
Greetings Gil.
Because I truly have nothing else to do…the weather in Fahrenheit:
KING’S PARK 66.2 DEGREES;
WONG CHUK HANG 69.8 DEGREES;
TA KWU LING 73.4 DEGREES;
LAU FAU SHAN 68 DEGREES;
TAI PO 66.2 DEGREES;
SHA TIN 69.8 DEGREES;
TUEN MUN 69.8 DEGREES;
TSEUNG KWAN O 68 DEGREES;
SAI KUNG 66.2 DEGREES;
CHEUNG CHAU 68 DEGREES;
CHEK LAP KOK 66.2 DEGREES;
TSING YI 68 DEGREES;
SHEK KONG 71.6 DEGREES;
TSUEN WAN 68 DEGREES.
In other words, much nicer than in ice-glazed Michigan, where the current temp is:
31 F, which is pretty much Zero in C.
January 15th, 2007 at 10:15 am
To those listening on the live feed, yes I did eventually make it to the studios, but pretty much after production wrapped for the day. At least they got my beer.
January 15th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
I can verify that Thomas did indeed show up. We all thank him for the beer which we will eventually sample!
January 17th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
RE: The O-my-bod accessory…
Try Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance.
Odds are you’ll recognize the music.
