I’m getting a lot of people saying its a great idea but don’t have time or aren’t witty enough to do it. I may have to redefine this thing so people don’t feel so intimidated.

Dubshack: I agree, that would be cool.

I just created a new, Watchmen-inspired Bitstrip!

Dub,

I love the idea. If I were witty enough, I’d be all over that. My little brother does stand-up and I could probably coerce him into recording something. :)

I just realized … as I finished the latest WNDR Radio Ep, that I didn’t manage to record a podcast review for Wolf.

Dub: That’s a great idea. I wish I could come up with something, but I’m barely making my own commitments right now. Fuckity-ã‚„ã‚Œã‚„ã‚Œ-hell. :(

So I’m thinking about hosting a Def Jam Comedy hour with the Farpoint Recap, allow anyone a chance to spend 5-10 minutes doing their own comedy routine. One idea is to have people make fun of me for a change. Does this sound interesting to anyone, and what would be an acceptable amount of time to give people to write and record their material?

The idea here is Deadpan has the Palooza, JT’s Indie Christian podcast has the Poetry Slam… It makes sense for the Recap to have Standup Comedy. Which would be open to pretty much everyone.

*hugs* for EssBee

I don’t need a beer, but I’d love a nap. I just did a head count – no wonder I’m tired. I had 19 kids in my house and backyard eating pizza and running amok.

Only my daughter and I are here now – my son is sleeping and all is quiet.

zzzzzzz

You have my sympathies, EssBee. I’d buy you a beer if it would help. And for anyone else that needs one. :)

This made me crack up.

Every once in a while, I take a break and look up a Japanese word/expression that I don’t know. So, just a while ago, I look up the expression yareyare [ã‚„ã‚Œã‚„ã‚Œ] to find that it is an exclamation of relief or disappointment.

What’s funny is the example sentence:
ã‚„ã‚Œã‚„ã‚Œã€å¥³ã‚’é¸ã‚“ã§çµå©šã™ã‚‹ã“ã¨ã«ãªã‚‹ã®ã‹ãƒ»ãƒ»ãƒ»ã€‚ Maybe I will settle down with a woman.

Relief? Disappointment? Confusion? ;)

They don’t schedule the time until the day of, EssBee, but it’s supposed to be some time next Friday.

It’s a shame the jellies aren’t in season. It would be more satisfying, watching it gurgle down in the ocean among them, knowing it was getting death of a thousand stings…

You’ve inspired me. Next time I’m seeing blue I’ll be thinking of having the laptop swim with the fishes.

And next time will be soon, because every frickin windows update breaks the same damn key file and it starts going code blue multiple times a day.

Oh technology, why must thou be carnal with microsoft?

MD – you could you find some vinyl “Fish” appliquÃ©s and put them on you monitor when that happens – turning it into a friendly, soothing fish-tank.
