Armageddon outta here.

I realize I'm in the minority, I've never used the "recent posts" option. I've always used the "unread topics" and "unread replies". Recent posts doesn't necessarily equate to interesting posts.

Hi Steve, in response to your PM,yes, I am presently all caught up on my DARK CITY episodes. But due to my ongoing lockups here I have been unable to give you my feedback. Only about 5% of the time I am able to read or post to a thread.


I greatly enjoyed the last two episodes and I found myself thinking I enjoy this podcast mostly because I get to hear you even more so than any particular guests. Still, I found these two guests very interesting.

How about if I pulled my punch?

I don't care if it rains or freezes long as I got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Yeah, yeah
I can go 100 miles an hour
Long as I got the almighty power
Glued up there with my peer of fuzzy dice.

It depends if you're a chocolate purist or not.  Real white chocolate is made from cocoa butter, so it still takes from the cacao bean but some don't consider it chocolate since it doesn't contain the brown (chocolately) part of the cacao nibs.

btw, if you press all the cocoa butter out of a cacao bean, you just end up with the cocoa powder you use in baking so white chocolate is effectively just regular chocolate without cocoa powder.

yes, to me chocolate without the cocoa powder is like marijuana without the THC.

I'm buying an extra bar of white chocolate. I can't face stocking up with loads of stuff that I'll end up throwing away.

I have sometimes thought of looking into that white chocolate issue. Is there actually any chocolate in a white chocolate candy bar?I thought chocolate was innately brown.

I don't understand. Can you description for me?
If I do it same you. How can I do it?

su Inglés suena como mi español.

Mankind is evolving, what the hell, maybe mankind will go airborne.

Never passed a car on the grass on the on ramp to a freeway at 96 miles an hour. It could (and did) turn out to be an unmarked Highway Patrol car.

And when he is studying your drivers license and says, "what's your name?" Don't say, "it's right there on the license."

And when he says, "I knew you were going to speed because you passed me on the ramp back there, "don't say "oh, was that you?"

And when he says, "why were you speeding?" Don't say, "because i'm making a run to the grocery store to get some ice cream and I had to get back home before the commercials ended and The ice cream melted."

Ari used it mostly for minesweeper.

Except after the zip sound she was heard to say, "where? Where? I don't see anything." But the woman behind her said"Oh, I see it, it looks like a penis… Only smaller." :-)

I'm not so concerned about the virus mutating as the ongoing demonstration that our bureaucracies are consistently unable to react to a well-known threat.  All of CDC's billions in protective measures were nuetralized by gaping holes in what to most should be obvious medical administrative measures. Ebola migration has been a distinct danger for over a decade; there's a huge outbreak underway.  How is it that a major hospital has all isolation procedures and goodies, and even CDC accreditation, but the ER MD assigned never was informed that the dude with the symptoms was just in a region with an Ebola outbreak?  That he was, a few days before, carrying an Ebola victim to treatment in Monrovia.  It wasn't anyone in the Dallas hospital or Dallas public health that followed up and contacted CDC; it was Ebola Man's nephew!  As with the WH fence jumper, as with ISIL virtually appearing from nowhere, as with NFL stars slugging their wives in public, even going back to 9/11 our worst vulnerability is the cumbersomeness and myopia of our immense bureaucracies.

Not to mention Jazmunda mysteriously disappearing…

That looks more like Bulwinkle the Moose, Which Boris and Natasha have glued a horn onto.

Kelt, what's this about evil unicorns? Everyone knows that's a contradiction of terms. Can you show me one evil unicorn?

I'm writing this down fast as I can. First, remove all doorknobs. Second, do not kiss a cadaver. Third, do not eat semen or excrement. Four, use plenty of soap, or not, not clear on that one. Five, no more taxis.

Yes, cam, we need to talk. I'm afraid these are not movies, these are dreams you've been having…

It's spooky that this happens just as the series "THE STRAIN" is on, FX channel. That is about the most disturbing series I can remember. And it Bakely mirrors this Ebola epidemic. In some ways. Albeit supernatural.

Okay  Aldous, lay off of Mel's hole! 

What a coincidence. The article says Bossi too had a bag over her head!

Allegedly. Nothing was ever proved.

I believe I read in the Yorkshyre gazette that Bossythe cow had actually winced during the experience. But it wasn't known if it was from your looks or from your size.  : :

And you were with a cow?

I was listening live but I kept experiencing 22nd dropouts so I left and plan on listening to a better version by downloading. Damn.

Just finished listening to the Alexander interview moments ago. Maybe it's just the mood I was in but I found Alexander to be frank and succinct. He had an irritating habit of answering the question before it was completed as if he was impatient or  in a hurry to get through the interview. Somebody should inform him that even though he may be impatient with questions that he has heard before we the Lissner haven't heard the question before. So he needs to let the interviewer finish the questions before he rudely or inartfully cuts the interviewer off. Steve, I thought you did a great job, as usual. I can imagine where in interview with Alexander's wife may well prove very interesting.

In what universe is Joe Biden not an imbecile?  Richard Cheney not an imbecile?  Al Gore not an imbecile?  Dan Quayle not an imbecile? George H. W. Bush not an imbecile?  Whoever was that imbecile Carter's VP and the guy before that?

I think I agree with whomever or whoever (if it were multiple people) that said most all politicians from either side are imbeciles.  I leave it to the individuals politically fractured mind to decide which side has the historically bigger imbeciles representing them...

That is all.

Carry on.

I think this might be your best post ever.

Just like your first one I remember this one also. Cars not enough to help you. I was thinking Hitchcock but it sounds even more bizarre than Hitchcock. Marx brothers? Joe Besser? Gregory Peck? I keed.

I'm glad you skipped the softball approach, but we all knew you would.    Calling him out on the Goldwater video was well done. He may have been expecting you to just glaze over it.

I feel like he's not showing his whole hand, possibly to stretch out what he knows into more books. But I also get the feeling that he's coloring in some parts that he's not sure about- and presenting those as fact. Combined with him giving answers that aren't the complete answer, I can see how it gets frustrating for the interviewer. The argument by some that Col. Alexander is a disinformation agent is very plausible to me.

You had to fight for every foothold once the UFO discussion started. I agree that the UFO field is pretty mixed up. Like trying to find bits of paper in a blizzard. You'll find some things that might point you somewhere, but there's a ton of snow and the wind is blowing all over.

In all, I enjoyed listening to you asking the tough questions. It's not a great way to get a guest to return, but I think integrity is more important than blindly nodding and letting them sell their wares.

well said. Nice imagery.

Cam, is it possible it was instead, The Woman in Green (1945), one of the Sherlock Holmes movies?  Check the plot, here.

ha! I had conflated two Sherlock Holmes movies, "Dressed to Kill" and "the woman in green". Save goes to Zeebo! Er, even though it turned out to be the wrong movie.

When the Smothers Brothers had their show, they were hassled so much over trivial matters by the network censors they invented a meaningless phrase, "Rowing the boat to Galveston," that they occasionally slipped into early drafts of scripts just to drive the censors crazy, because they automatically assumed it had something to do with sex or drugs.  Sometimes the SBs were able to keep something they really wanted in a script by pretending to reluctantly agree to remove the "Galveston" line.

o,IC. Yes, now that you mention it that does sound familiar.
