Explicit Warning if missed

* http://www.crazynutso.com/volcanipedia/tiki-index.php?page=Week+Ending+January+15+2010
* Sorry for not being Sean.
And how about a Tangentcast? This one even has music and everything. Well, not everything. But it does have music.

Volcanipedia *-By-*:
* (Explicit Warning) I wish I’d have thought of it (and been able to say her name) but that was Bob.
* It wasn’t a torpedo so much as a head-on collision. Torpedoes tend to hit things they’re aimed at. This was due to negligence.
* Wait until you hear the tangents. About the cats. We don’t talk about Adam.
* * At least, I don’t think we do. Like last week I didn’t listen to all of the tangents even during the first edit. Or the recording.
* Yeah that was hot.
* * Sam drooling over the chick. Not the cats.
* Yeah we were scraping for topics and sports scores are SO entertaining.
* Not only did I forget to mention it, I totally forgot about it. Oups.
* I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
* Okay I was going to respond to each one but I ran out of steam.
Nobody got nuttin to say?
Well, it was a very . . . short show. Not much to comment upon. Kinda lousy topics. Plus we’re all waiting to see if Sean shows up for Sam. (Or maybe she really wants Will, and just fucked the name up, she is a host of Volcanicast, after all)
I thought everyone wanted me. I have info on how a tapeworm is removed…..kind of gross if you ask me though.
@Nutso…I don’t think I have *ever* mixed up Will and Sean. Ever. @ sean WTH…where is my message???
How is a tapeworm removed? We guessed when I asked the question on the show…
For the record, while Sam was wondering where her message was, there was a note in the show notes saying we got an email from Sean.
