15. thanksgiving quotes inspirational (ADAM)
- Jan’s was from Dear Abby.
– “Oh, heavenly Father,
We thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others. Amen. — Love, Abby
– http://blog.timesunion.com/muslimwomen/dear-abbys-thanksgiving-prayer/652/
- “When eating bamboo sprouts, remember the man who planted them.” Chinese proverb
- “For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
- “For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
- “If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.” Frank A. Clark
- “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” Melody Beattie
- “Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action.” - W.J. Cameron
- “Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.” -Erma Bombeck
- “He who receives a good turn should never forget it; he who does one should never remember it.” - Charron
- “May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious
and your pies take the prize,
and may your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!” - Author Unknown
14. unprecedented (People wanted the defininition)
13. turkey roasting times (SAM)
- So…apparently you can get a fully frozen turkey on thanksgiving at the supermarket if you really want to….but you won’t be eating it that day.
- This is determined by the size of your said turkey.
- Then give it 1 day extra.
- so a 20lb bird needs to thaw for 6 days.
- Stuffing makes the cooking times longer.
- By about 15 mins, but that could be the difference between life and death!!
- So…mostly you cook the bird at 325-350 degrees F.
- Then get the size of the bird and figure it out with complicated calculus calculations.
- If you want to roast a frozen turkey you have to double all cooking times.
- Or you could do what hooters suggested and get a turkey with a little popper that pops up when the internal temp is correct.
- Stuffing 165 degrees
- clear juices when pricked with a fork in the thigh.
- Why now?
- Um…being the day before turkey day….
- And everyone who thawed their turkey forgot to keep the instructions on how to cook it that was printed on the plastic bag the turkey was in….
- The entire world as we know it looked it up.

- 120 miles east of Vegas in Arizona
- completed in March, 2007 after 2.5 years and $30 million
- already nearly 1 million visitors
- weighs 1.571 million pounds, built to withstand an excess of 71 million pounds on top of it. (That’s the equivalent of 71 fully-loaded 747 airliners piled one on top of the other!

2. elin nordegren (#1’s wife)
1. tiger woods car accident (SAM)
- Actually he hit a tree outside his house.
- At 2:35 am.
- This accident was apparently hard enough to concuss Tiger and cover him in laserations.
- And hard enough to apparently shatter the two back windows of his escalade.
- But not hard enough to deploy any airbags.
- That will deploy at about 30 mph.
- A concerned neighbour called 911 and tried to help Tiger.
- He never announced the unconcious man was Tiger.
- Tiger was treated for concussion and lacerations to the face and released from hospital.
- ANd then holed himself inside the house for 3 days before announcing that he is fine and all the rumours are just that.
- He has refused a statment to police. All he is required to do is show proof of insurance, license and registration.
- Stories are flying over him being fined for no statement, which he is not forced to give.
- Stories about physical abuse at the hands of his wife are flying.
- Esp since the smashed out windows did not occur from the accident.
- And she was apparently seen with a golf club in her hands.
- And of course the gossip mags are all over the faxt that a serving girl at one competition was at another competition in Australia….that totally means they are having an affair.
- Why now?
- He hit the tree at 2:35am this morning.

Explicit Warning if missed
* http://www.crazynutso.com/volcanipedia/tiki-index.php?page=Week+Ending+November+27+2009
* This should be an annual even. (The ‘crowded house’ episode)
* Because that would mean you aren’t doing it every week.
* Hooters is teh r0kOr. (or whatever)
* I was going to e-mail, but now I’m glad I didn’t, because who needs a 90 minute Volcanicast?
* I didn’t link to the acutal video for ‘White & Nerdy’, but rather an outtake that showcases Donny Osmond’s dancing.
* Congrats to Bob for ‘winning’ NaNoWrMo, although the cynic in me notes that he ‘won’ right after he made a donation. . .
* Yes, I probably would have edited this down to below 60 minutes, if not down to a Drew friendly 45.
* AndYouWouldHaveCutOutEveryQuarterSecondPauseToDoSo
* :)
* Actually, I sat down and said, “You know, I’m going to edit this one.” and then 15 minutes in I decided against it.
* Though I probably should have at least trimmed the last 15-20 minutes down.
* To about 5 minutes.
* I’ll read Volcanipedia later and bullet-point back then.
Okay, volcanipedia point-by-point:
* Disclaimer: Haven’t listened yet (except the first 15 minutes) so won’t remember most of this.
* If you even knew how long it took to do research. You can slack off and do all 7 days in under an hour.
* * That said, I considered banning Bob from the show just to break is streak :D
* I did miss Kevin Smith kissing Ben Affleck on that MTV award show. Mostly because I missed the show itself and it occurred before we were doing Volcanicast.
* * Actually, I think the problem isn’t as much girls/guys, as it is gay/straight people. I can’t guarantee it but if the Indigo Girls sucked face on stage I bet people would have a cow about it. Assuming anybody was watching.
* I am almost sure I put FOTS in my little notes for whoever drafted “hobknocker”. I may have put a question mark after it becuase I wasn’t sure, or maybe I left it out completely. I do recall having a vague sense of “we’ve done that one”
* We have had the entire cast on the show now, though my ex wasn’t so much on the show as passed out under it.
* This show was pretty unique. I probably should have edited it, or passed it to you to edit, but as a one-off I don’t think anybody (but Drew) will mind.
* You may want to stop using the prefix “over-” for my use of the bell. I personally thought I showed quite a bit of restraint.
* I’m talking about how long it takes Bob to do research, and I imagine I was being generous with the ‘5 minute’ estimate.
** I’m just kidding, I’m sure Bob is very diligent in his research. <– (so the crybaby doesn’t go off again)
* Fucking Burn Notice is addictive. ADDICTIVE I say. <– has nothing to do with anything.
* I was, of course, refering to the offended people having missed the Kev/Ben kiss. I’m sure the cast of Volcanicast is more then used to guy on guy kissing.
* Your Ex was also in another, where she came in and asked you something, and the entire cast laughed at her for the question. It made me say, ‘wow, she should divorce that guy’. (although in your deffense, both KCriis’s were laughing as well.)
* It felt like a holiday special, and that’s not a bad thing. Heck, who doesn’t want Volcanicast to have some Hooters once in a while?
* To me, any use of the bell outside of announcing a death is over use, but again, that’s just me.
* So far, my plans for Overtime are going about as well as my plans for finishing my novel. Although in the OT it’s a bit less my fault.
Three extra hosts AND no editing? Oy.
Hey Drew, at least there wasn’t any long-assed voice mail.
Not that I want to cater too much to the one guy who loves our show so much he wants to hear less of it, but this week should be quite a bit tighter than the previous few. I’m considering mixing up the drafting a bit. I’m not 100% sure what will happen but I have a feeling that you’ll like it. (That’s the collective “you’ll” and not Drew in particular)
Usually Will chimes in with his love for longer shows. Must be on vacation. And that’s Will, not Sean.
I miss the longer shows from time to time.
Did I say I was going to change up the format this week? I meant next week :) I’m a bit excited about how we’re going to do it. Should enable us to skip even more crappy topics and talk about even more fun topics.
* I don’t know if skipping crappy topics is neccesarily a good thing, you guys tend to make the crappy topics fun.
* I’m not sure where you’re going to get these ‘fun topics’, but I’ve serious doubts there are any on google trends.
* But if it keeps the show going, I’m all for it.
* As for the rotating cast,
** any show with Hooters is going to be a good show.
** Jeffery & Adam are no Kris & Chris, but then, who is? Less likely to leave you for their own show, anyhow.
** Bob not doing research is surprisingly like Bob doing research. He even managed to do some stammering, despite not reading anything.
* Oh we’ll still have crappy topics. I frequently take a topic based solely on how much fun of it I can make. That will still happen, don’t worry. :)
* Much of what happened last week won’t happen all that often. In particular, I don’t think we’ll have many shows with peanut galleries in the future.
** That said, we’ll have a peanut gallery this week :)
** But not multiple people.
* I noticed Bob stumbling over a line, but did not realize that he was doing it “raw.”
I wonder if we’d get any decent stuff from recording what we talk about at dinner before the show, or during the break. No. I won’t think about it. That way madness lay.
While I certainly would love to be a fly on the wall at one of your dinners, (Sam would love that too, she could swat me) I agree that it probably wouldn’t record well. Aside from the technical problem, (Where do you put the microphones?) and the horror of
Boberrr someone chewing food directly into the mike, there is also the question of whether people talk as freely when there are mikes running. While I doubt the cast suddenly becomes super politically correct when being recorded, (Although, considering the show, that’s a scary thought) it’s a fact that people are more self-conscious when being recorded. So yes, you’d probably get some decent stuff from it, but it seems to me it would be more trouble then it’s worth.@Nutcase: In Jeffrey’s and Adam’s defense, we’re not polished at doing this every week (add for 3 years if you’d like) and speaking for myself, could easily bring equal amounts of awesome as K&C if I was that interested in participating the show regularly. In this format, I’m just not motivated to be that involved in the show. Also, I am not a hot female. I also recognize that you didn’t outright hate me and/or Adam (or at least didn’t verbalize that) and take that as high praise from you. :)
You like me? You really, really like me?
Nah, I don’t outright hate anyone. Plus, you sucked WAY less then you did those other times. Yeah, that’s me being complimentary. Besides, you brought Hooters to the show, and how can I dislike a guy who shows off his hooters? (Seriously, are you going to let some internet troll refer to your missus as ‘hooters’? Wait, that’s me, never mind!)
* I’m sure you boys did your best, but you’re just not as professional as Bob. (I have to throw him a bone on occasion)
I finished listening to the show and it went pretty much as I expected it to, if not better. We got a bit rambly near the end and it would have benefited from the audio equivalent of a red pen, but it was by no means bad. And you gotta love Jamie’s laugh, as if she’s in physical pain (which, based on how she keels over, may be the case, I don’t know)
In any case, the next show will be edited, so no worries there :)
* So, wait. Are YOU going to edit it, or am I gonna edit it? ‘Cause if you’re gonna edit it, I gotta wait an extra 1-3 days to hear the damned thing.
* I agree about Jamie’s laugh.
* I agree the show was good, I’d go as far as saying it was great. Had I edited it, I would have left in most of the tangents, just edited out things like ‘oh look, the cats are doing cat things’ that kind of thing. And all the ‘uhms’, which probably would have gotten the show down into the 60-65 minute range.
*Motherfucking Windows keeps motherfucking blue screening me whenever I surf to various motherfucking internet sites. And they’ve just released a new version. Coincidence? If I weren’t so lazy and or stupid, I’d switch to some form of Linux and be done with it.
* ARGH!!!
As far as defending my wife goes, regarding someone calling her “Hooters” I’ll make these points as to why I’ve said nothing thus far and leave it at that:
1. My wife is fully capable and will stand up for herself if she sees a need. And believe me you don’t want to be on the recieving end of that.
2. She looks awesome, and always comes home with me.
3. I get to call her “my wife”
4. Defending someone else calling her names over the internet or anywhere would mean I thought that person was in some way credible or worth the trouble to teach them a lesson. :)
Mainly, I just don’t take life that seriously.
Again, thanks for your second non-constructive criticizm of my performance that didn’t outright slam me and your admission you don’t hate. High praise given only unto those of noble birth according to my “Internet Troll Translation Guide - 1st edition.” Remember, keeping me happy may translate into more frequent visits from my wife. Your work on volcanipedia is actually interesting and notably good, especially considering your pay rate.
Lastly, Linux is another way for geeks to thumb their nose at the rest of the world and whine about why nobody else can see how perfect it is or even moreso how perfect they are for using it. The usefulness does not exceed the effort required to take full advantage of it. In the words of Admiral Ackbar “It’s a trap!”
Speaking of trolling…
But anyway, on to more important topics. I would actually like to edit a few episodes, and see no reason I can’t do so right after everybody leaves. The 2-day edit sessions were after 3-hour shows, which we haven’t done in (I think) well over a year. I see no reason I can’t get a 90-minute recording session edited in under 2 hours or, as I suspect will be happening now that we’re somewhat back to normal (hosts and topics only, nobody on the phone), 60-minute recording sessions edited in a little over an hour. This would imply that - on a very good day - the show would be up before midnight.
This has nothing to do with your ability as an editor (Though, as I know you like this sort of thing, I’ll say you do a shit job and I’d fire you if you didn’t work for free) and is simply to scratch an itch I’ve been getting to fully produce a show (end-to-end) again.
* I fully agree that
HootersJamie is awesome.* Being that she is married to you, you must also be awesome.
* I’m not nearly as big a jerk as I make myself out to be, but you’ll never convince Sam of that.
* I could give you constructive criticism, but that would require me to actually know something about podcasting, which is clearly not the case.
* Are you criticizing Linux? Is that one of your evil conservative viewpoints I’ve been warned about??
* Being that the only real reason I edited was so I could hear the show right after it was recorded, edit away!
* However, if you really want to ‘fully produce’ a show, wouldn’t it be better to do a good one?
* Those last remarks were aimed at ‘Vargman’, these are aimed at ‘Volcanicast’.
* duh.
* Doing a good show is hard. You can attest to that. Well, maybe not that exactly but you can attest to the opposite, that doing a crappy show is easy.
* I’m going to assume you’re referring to the Crimson Lien (or Planet Retcon in general) and I gotta say, after writing Crimson Lien as prose instead of audio drama, I’m so much happier with the prose.
You could do an audio book, but you’d probably put yourself to sleep doing it. (Not because it sucks, but because you said audio books put you to sleep… eh forget it)
* Speaking of conservative views, do you think they’ll make Obama give back the peace prize because of the Surge? (A Surge? What an original idea!)
* And no, I can’t attest to doing either a good show or a crappy show, as I’ve never ‘done’ an entire show. I’ve done a few guest call-ins and edited a few episodes. Not the same thing.
* There are plans for an audio book. I need a book first, but yeah. It’d probably put me to sleep.
* At least he’s invading the correct country, but yeah. Great job there Mr. Peace-a-lot.
* I have no witty comeback, but yeah. I had to say “but yeah” in each bullet point to make a complete set.
Holy crap, you guys are hilarious…
