- Don't feel badly, Claire, as I have missed a couple dozen. I wrote to Geo last week giving him the heads up about "Expelled", Ben Stein's new film regarding Creationism in academia. Should have known that this crew would beat me to that one, as I only just heard in Episode #48 (Pre-Holiday show). Loved the Santa-Rudolph answering machine bit. Happy Holidays to all.
I have taken to listening in the shower to catch up. My iPod's been acting a bit twitchy lately, but it's nice 'n' shiny and the headphone cords are stronger and more manageable than ever before.posted by: Chuck D. say, \"Fight Da Pow-uh!\" on 2008-03-04 14:22:00
- Hey, not only did Geo read my question, but it was so wierd that he moved the whole Ask George section to the front of the show, just to get it out of the way as quickly as possible!
Yup, I\'m the pillock who sent in the one about worshiping future generations...
I don\'t think I worded my question in quite the way I meant, but it was very late at night when I wrote it. I had just read the article, and sent the email off before I\'d really thought about the consequences that such a religion would have. For the record, I believe that it would work, but only if there were no competing religions, and that ain\'t likely to happen!
Anyway, great show, keep up the good work, etc. etc! - A reversal on the actor-rug thing. Remember Ted Danson? Full head of hair on \'Cheers\', but at the Emmys he was always bald. It became a joke on the show in the final episode when he finally removed it.
\'Singer not the Song\' was a song on the mid-80\'s album \'Vital Signs\' by Survivor. It\'s the first thing that went through my mind when that was mentioned. - When the Star Wars prequels (the films that shall not be named) were first coming out, I remember stories on the news about people literally going to theaters and protesting the people waiting in line to get tickets, because the force is an \"abomination\".
So that particular site may be a joke, but, sadly, the sentiment is not.
Conservapedia might have something to say about it...assuming that\'s not just a huge joke too. - Wow, the Star Wars bit was totally not what I was expecting. I managed to convince myself ahead of time to be prepared for a rant about how SW is cryptofascist neo-mystical trash (see David Brin for more in that vein). But instead we got a fun parody of openly fascist paleo-mystical trash. Either one would be fine with me, but it's nice to be surprised. Sweet!
I too must jump on the Keisha bandwagon. Gimme some of that sweet, sweet spinach, baby. :-D
And I really enjoyed hearing about the pink fairy armadillo -- I'd never heard of that specific variety before. Mostly I just see the grey flattened armadillo, other wise known as Chlamyphorus streetpizzus. - Hey, Keisha, you think *you're* blissing? I've had my name mangled, er, mention on two (2) podcasts. Woo hoo!
Now we just have to explain to Minoishe Interroberg that it's pronounced Missour-ee, not Missour-ah. One small conquest at a time, I guess.

- Progeny worship? At first I thought it sounded pretty cool. Then I realized we weren\'t playing in Gene Rodenberry\'s fantasy world, this was the real world where people will off your daughter so their\'s can be a CHEERLEADER for goodness sake.
You really don\'t think people would fight wars to make more room for their precious seed? They wouldn\'t do everything they can so that their offspring are the supermen and yours are the slaves?
That\'s just more naive crazy talk. Sorry, it was a nice thought.
- I'd like to take credit for pranking George but I didn't figure out it was a joke until after I sent it to him.
But at least I helped inspire such a great sketch and can be know as the one who(even by accident) made George the moron of the week
P.S. George you totally nailed pronouncing my last name congrats keep up the good work
