What Are We Drinking?
January 16 2010 (SAT)
6. pants on the ground original video (From previous week, undraftable)
5. hotel montana news (Regarding Haiti, undraftable)
3. grease monkey wipes (From previous week, undraftable)
20. house of bones (2010 TV-movie, on SyFy)
18. flea flicker (BOB)
- A play in organized football
- - Used to deceive the defense into covering what is ostensibly a running play
- - - By handing off, or passing laterally, the ball to another player, the defense is drawn away from the quarterback and receivers
- - - - The ball is then flicked back to the quarterback who throws the ball downfield
- - - The play is a high-risk option
- - - - Since it takes more time to develop than a typical offensive play, the defense has more opportunity to break through the offensive line and stop it
- - - - - It typically will result in a big gain, a turnover, or a big loss
- - - - Despite this, it will appear several times in a typical NFL season
- Why now?
- - It appeared in the post-season
- - - The New Orleans Saints pulled one off against the Arizona Cardinals on 1st and 10 at midfield during divisional playoffs
- - - - The result was a Saints touchdown

17. jimmy buffett tickets (BOB)
- American singer, songwriter, author, businessman, and now a movie producer
- - Best known for the song “Margaritaville” and the island escapism lifestyle
- - Also involved in two restaurant chains, “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Margaritaville”
- - At various times has been shot at by Jamaican authorities who believed him to be smuggling drugs aboard his airplane
- - - And thrown out of a pro basketball game for swearing}
- - Despite a friendship with financier Warren Buffett
- - - There’s no familiar relation
- Why now?
- - Tickets went on sale for the last of his Summerzcool concert tour shows
- - - And sold out almost immediately
16. alexander pechurski (Hockey prospect. Discussed somewhere)
15. matt leinart (Cardinals QB, played)
12. grady wilson (SNL character, sketch about an old guy making a sex tape)
11. element bars (FOTS, On Shark Tank rerun or reunion show)
9. family watch dog (SAM)
- Actually fots from 01/16/2009 and 03/13/2009.
- The correct website is www.familywatchdog.us.
- If you use .com they want you to pay $10. THe .us is the actual free site.
- Website where you can see who in your neighborhood is a rapist, sexual batterer, child molester, or an ominous “Other”
- - Complete with Google Maps interface.
- I looked in my area to see where the sickos live.
- - Living right near me, a “Get off my lawn” type old man was convicted of “Other” according to the map.
- - I clicked on his icon and found he was arrested for “Gross Sexual Imposition”
- - - I read about it, and the best I can boil it down to is “Rape Light”
- - - Touching without permission
- - - Forcing sex without physical force (blackmail, coercion)
- - - Sex with someone who is incapable of giving consent (Mentally deficient, drunk past sensible, senility)
- - - The person is under 13 years old (!)
- Anyway, why then?
- - On January 1, the website teamed up with the Visual Analytics Real-Time Data Center.
- - From the best I can tell, the two can provide sex offender information to police officers instantly.
- - I assume it hit the news and TV and all that, around 7pm today.
- Why now?
- There are absolutely no news articles for this.
- Just 4 blogs that mention it going volcanic.
- Must be news time again.
8. american orient express (WES)
- FOTS FTWE November 17th, 2007; April 18, 2008; July 25, 2008; January 23, 2009; April 24, 2009
- - That’s right, this is the 6th time we’ve taken this.
- My notes the last time sucked:
- It’s a poorly-named train that offers luxury journeys.
- - We never know the Why Now.
- Why then?
- - I don’t know, but as this is the 5th time this has hit the Googles on our watch, I’m plonking it in the “Autoskip” bin.
- - I’m pulling this from the Autoskip bin for 2 reasons:
- - - 1) We don’t have an Autoskip bin any more.
- - - 2) I know the Why Now!
- Why now?
- - After having been bought (Which I suspect was at least one of the Why Nows in the past) and then shut down (probably another why now) by GrandLuxe Railways, The AOE has been re-opened.
- - - The rail line, which seems to cater to the 50-plus crowd, sells week-long journeys from anywhere from $300 to $4000.
- - - - Budget, First Class, Deluxe, Luxury (In that order)
- - - - - Gives all new meaning to “First Class”

4. american samoa (SAM)
- Technically FOTS week ending 10/02/2009.
- Here are my notes from then.
- - This is a group of Islands that the USA and Germany kind of divided and split when they were out splitting the world.
- The US portion is about the size of DC.
- Highest point is still under 1000k meters with most more sea level.
- Poses a problem with big waves and swollen tides.
- One of the main resources is pumice.
- a kinda by produce of all the volcanic activity.
- A rather large 8.0 earthquake hit Samoa and US Samoa and started a rather large and deadly tsunami that hit all the islands.
- at this time 165 reported dead, 22 of which are in American Samoa.
- The Prime Minister of Samoa is planning a mass grave.
- Unsure if the American Samoans are being included in this.
- Many help agencies are rapidly sending relief workers down to Samoa to help out.
- Why now?
- 60 Minutes did a special about how many football players come from Samoa.
- For a tiny Island, there are 30 NFL players and another 200 or so in the college league.
- Mainly because Samoa boys are built like mac trucks.
- And they get paid more to play American football than rugby.
- not for the million $$ contracts.

- - Give it a url to a youtube video, and a filespec on your hard drive.
- - It converts the former into an mp3 file named the latter.
- - And that, in its RIAA-infuriating simplicity, is it.
- - It’s freeware, so I’d virus scan it while downloading it, before running it, daily, and every time you run it.
- - - Just to be sure.
- Why now?

- 4 water spouts just off the coast then one moved on shore and ripped through the county.
- Very unusual.
- Because a tornado is a weather phenomenon of continentality.

- 1 from Crazy Nutso
- 1 from Sean
Less than a week ago, I traveled to Le Havre on the coast of France, to
have a chat with the British Secret Service. They’d heard of my
exploits in Paris and contracted me to steal a mysterious box from the
Nazis in exchange for information on where my arch-nemesis Kurt Dierker
was hiding. I had the box, so it was time for answers.
The Brits revealed that Dierker was actually at a castle less than
a mile from Le Havre, getting ready to return to Berlin via zeppelin.
Armed with nothing but a German uniform, a stolen truck, a few sticks
of dynamite, and a tommy gun, I set out for the castle.
The truck got me past the front gates, but not through the great
oak door into the castle keep. The dynamite opened that door, but with
my cover literally blown I was faced with a contingent of angry guards.
Nothing the Thompson couldn’t handle, of course, but things got a bit
hairy when the Nazis started bringing out the flamethrowers. Good thing
I found that crate of grenades.
I fought my way to the top of the tallest tower and onto the
zeppelin, where I found Dierker skulking about in the shadows. He
wanted to show me this shiny new gun that Der Fuhrer had given him, but
I felt I should take it from him as I had heard somewhere that gunfire
inside a zeppelin is a VERY BAD IDEA.
Well, no one told Dierker, because he got off three shots and
triggered an explosion. So, now the zeppelin’s on fire. My
arch-nemesis, no doubt embarrassed at his mistake, beat feet and I had
to chase him along the crumbling catwalks of the disintegrating
airship. I caught up to him just in time to see him take the last
parachute and dive out a hatch, leaving me to ride the burning zep down
into the icy Atlantic.
A long swim and a short walk later, I soggily informed the British
that Herr Dierker would not be returning to Berlin just yet. They
claimed to be surprised at my survival, but they couldn’t have been
that surprised. They already had another job for me to do…
But that is another story, and this letter is already practically a novel.

- When asked why she didn’t seek medical attention when she found large lumps under the implants she stated she didn’t have health care and didn’t want to pay the bills.

- - 2007: March cover girl for FHM magazine.
- - 2008: Named among the “Top Hooters Girls of all time.”
- Why now?
- - 2009: Became the public face of the website Rethinking Autism.
- - - But it was really made public today.
- - Celebrities, too often, are touting pseudo-scientific “cures” for autism that include anything from special diets (which do nothing) to avoiding vaccines (which do horrible things).
- - Rethinking Autism is attempting to use celebrities that actually know some facts to combat those that don’t.
- - - Fight hotties with hotties, you could say.
- - - I can find no proof that Leann is one of these knowledgeable hotties, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
- - - - At least she’s not suggesting mothers bleed the humors out of their children.

- - - - - The Romans identified the Celtic goddess with their goddess Minerva and encouraged her worship

- - - The remains of the Roman settlement were discovered in the 18th century
- - - - The Great Bath, though it lies below 18th century stonework, is still lead lined and fed by the spring through Roman lead pipes
- Why now?
- - Final Jeopardy!
- - - In “Cities in England,” the Roman name for this city was Aquae Sulis
- - - - The correct response was, of course, Bath
4. the choking game (Um yeah not a great idea)

- March born actor and comedian.
- Oh cool, was the voice of Mike Wazowski for Monsters Inc.
- Of which there is a MI2 in the works!
- Well, a movie that he is in opens tomorrow.
- He may or may not have appreated on Conan but I can’t find this rumour as it may have been lost in the shuffle of atricles about tooth fairy.
4. toyota recall (BOB)
- Why now?
- - Toyota issued a voluntary recall of 2.3 million vehicles
- - - ‘05 models and on: Avalon
- - - ‘07 models and on: Camry, Tundra
- - - ‘08 models and on: Sequoia
- - - ‘09 models and on: Corolla, Matrix, RAV4
- - - And 2010 HIghlanders
- - - - Also, ‘09 and ‘10 Pontiac Vibes, which roll off the same assembly line as the Matrix

3. tefillin (WES)
Related Term: 5.phylacteries
- Small boxes, painted black, containing scrolls with verses from the Torah
- - For lack of a better term, the Jewish Bible.
- Long leather straps attached to the boxes are wrapped multiple times around the arms during morning prayer.
- - You can also wear them on your head, with the straps going down your chest like a long necklace.
- - - See Tefillin Barbie, in the show notes, for a demonstration of both.
- - - - I for one am glad that little Jewish girls are not being discriminated against when it comes to anorexia-encouraging toys.
- - They are worn as a remembrance that God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt.
- - - I could find no indication what you would wear to remember that God put the children of Israel in Egypt in the first place.
- Anyway, it’s a little box with metal doodads and cable-like attachments and if you pull one out on a plane you can guess what would happen.
- Why now?
- - Someone pulled one out on a plane.
- - - And you can guess what happened.
- - A 17-year-old boy whose name I could not find online figured he’d use his down time on the plane to get his prayers done.
- - He pulled the box out, and started wrapping the straps around his arm.
- - The stewardess asked him what it was, and he told her.
- - She then called the pilot, who announced a state of emergency and landed the plane.
- - Sounds completely reasonable to me.

- - - - - And finally did more crap, most notably Land of the Lost
- - - - - - Note: The single-clause movie reviews above do not reflect the movie going tastes of the Volcanicast cast, crew, listeners, or audience and are the opinions of Wesley alone.
- His wife is Viveca Paulin, a Swedish actress who he met on Night at the Roxbury (one of the good ones, IMO)
- Why now?
- - He and she were on the final episode (and the final minutes) of Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show, performing a pretty good rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird.
- - - Viveca was “playing the part” of Dawn, Will’s pregnant hippy wife.
- - - - Viveca was in fact actually pregnant, and this was a funny way to work her in anyway.
- - - Will even played the cowbell.
- - - - And the whole Tonight Show thing didn’t seem so bad any more.

Explicit Warning if missed

* I can see why Wes didn’t want to read Sean’s e-mail’s bit of fiction.
* After all, that’d be like audio drama, and we all know how much Wes is opposed to those.
* Volcanipedia entry for this crap is done.
* http://www.crazynutso.com/volcanipedia/tiki-index.php?page=Week+Ending+January+22+2010
* That was the link.
* Good show, but it needed more cowbell.
* That was the lame joke.
• re: Lemon Party - one of the most amusing things on “30 Rock” is when they slip the phrase ‘lemon party’ into the dialogue, because the lead character is Liz Lemon.
• re: Tefilin - it’s pronounced “teh-FEE-lin”, as opposed to “TEF-uh-lin”. They come from the verse of Deuteronomy that says you’re supposed to bind the word of god upon your head, hands and doorposts… same verse that explains why good jews have mezzuzahs on the doorways to their houses, which also hold a little scroll of Torah verses.
• Sorry I haven’t left any voicemail. Haven’t had much to say, other than that I have “Ahab the Arab” on 45.
C_N
* There are so many things wrong with your second bullet point I am just going to pick one.
* * Reading a story and audio drama are are as alike as yellow and Thursdays.
* I’ll get to Volcanipedia in my next post. Gotta pad the count if most people aren’t going to bother posting until next Monday.
* Every show needs more cow bell.
Drew
* Gotta love a good Lemon Party reference.
* Yeah but they don’t land a plane early when you hang something on your door.
* That. Is. Awesome.
Volcanipedia:
* (Title): YouTube will need to wait. I futzed with a video creation package and - frankly - hated every step of the experience.
* * I am currently incapable of creating anything above “audio with a single still image” and that’s just lame.
* * * Though I almost put the above up anyway :-)
* I am very glad that Bob did not continue doing that voice.
* * LUVUMAN!
* I was going to mention that we had a lot of FOTSs this week, but I forgot.
* * My crappy memory is of course an eternal FOTS.
* In New Zealand, the airplanes circle until there’s a combination of at least a 5.0 earthquake and 80 mile per hour winds.
* * Not from bravado, but because they don’t know how to land any other way.
* * And if they’re carrying a rugby team, they just jump out without chutes onto the field and start playing.
* Old people sex and pooping. No wonder Jesus stayed back in the time of the dinosaurs.
* The cock-boob story may be in the Tangentcast.
* * That I didn’t have time to complete today.
* * * Due to 7 solid hours of Dragon Age.
* I don’t remember eating any lead-based paint.
* * But that could just mean I ate more.
* I would like it known that I did not invent Tefillin Barbie.
* * Though neither did Mattel.
* * * Or Klaus.
* Cock Boob!
* The main difference between audio books vs audio drama is delivery and timing. Since you have no one with those skills (OOO SICK BURN) I guess it would have sucked. Although I was tempted to do my own for volcanipedia. Which would have really sucked.
* People post, it’s only Sam who doesn’t post until Monday, and then rarely. SLACKER.
* Although, considering the quality of some of these posts, less might be better.
* I find it hard to believe that putting the show up on YouTube would increase the circulation, but what do I know?
* All that talk about people from New Zealand, and no sheep jokes?
* Dragon Age? Isn’t that one of those click on things till their dead DnD rip-off kinda games? I LOVE THOSE!
* Your crime is not inventing Tefillin Barbie, but finding it and posting it. I want Jihad Barbie with removeable body bomb.
* I would have posted a picture from googles (filter-free) image result for ‘Cock Boob’ but they weren’t very work-friendly.
* Although there was no Cock Boob Barbie.
* I have no idea if putting it on YouTube would increase the number of listeners. There’s only one way to find out.
* * Incidentally, if anybody knows where the kids these days find their podcasts (Other than iTunes and whatever Podcast Alley is named now), I’d love to know.
* As I’m playing it on the Xbox 360, there is little to no clicking on things. Also, I don’t think the fight mechanics on the PC (assuming it’s even remotely like the console version) would involve clicking on an enemy 50-100 times to kill it. As far as ripping off D&D, no. It ripped off the same source that D&D ripped off, which ripped off most of its stuff from folklore.
* Actually that’s Jihad Ken. The bonus: He can’t burn his junk off.
* I know that some people get there podcasts off of libsyn.com and podcastpickle.com other then that I couldn’t tell you.
People go to Libsyn to *find* podcasts? Crazy talk! So much so that it just might work!
Anyway, here is the Tangentcast with the now infamous COCK BOOB story!

Oh, and Podcast Pickle, if it’s not already gone, is going away soon. Gary announced on Twitter recently that he was closing it unless he sold it, and I haven’t seen any indication that he sold it.
I only know podcast pickle from this feed. I find podcasts from iTunes, usually after hearing about them on the Sonic Society. Or on my shiny iPad that I don’t have, and it looks kinda retarded. Like a giant iPod touch.
I find most of my podcasts through iTunes or word of mouth from other podcasts.
I like that when the random picture is the shuttle launch the picture is full size, rather then a little show-note size picture.
On the front page, or when someone’s avatar is set to it?
It’s probably that I accidentally left an original in a directory somewhere.
