I need to get down to Vandenburg and check out the monument. So fitting that his face would be used to memorialize a rocket testing site. Yay for supply-side economics (when will they learn their solutions always fail?).

Thanks for the welcome, Jen! I always try to listen to at least 3 episodes before I decide to stay or go but in your case I will not be going postal on the delete key! You are stuck with me!

Ken:

Of course I am… I haven’t had time to listen to this episode yet.

I mean, sheesh… can’t a guy comment unless he actually hears the episode? Really, if we made a rule that said “no comments until you review the facts,” most comment boards would be empty, Americans might have to stop talking just long enough to allow some oxygen to get to their brains, and Fox News would have to shift to an all-Billy Payne informercial format about the relationships between OxyClean, magic hangy putty and kidneys.

As for the lady, I’m not sure you heard Sean correctly. Clearly he has no kidney obsession, because he referred not to “her kidney” but rather to “her kid’s knee,” so nyah nyah. And as for equal time for other organs, if you go back to the very early days of HN, Shawno used to spend far more time talking not about kidneys but rather about his own liver, which back in the heady “Wild West” days of the show was apparently in danger of exploding.

In fact, I was hoping for an April Fools episode where Shawno’s liver would explode live, right in the middle of the show. Imagine it: Smooth-voiced Jen’s rendition of “As The Type Moves” is suddenly interrupted by a groan, followed by a thundering splatter, sounding as if a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup and live jellyfish suddenly gave way.

And what makes you so sure zombies aren’t running around London? Have you seen Margaret Thatcher lately?

Farris:

You’re just re-posting the same Oregon story and ignoring the totally farcical one Shawno also described, where a mob of angry craigslist looters removed all the fixtures from her home and also stole her kidney.

This is basically the plot of the film 28 Weeks Later, and I suspect Shawno is subconsciously drawing from memory here. He puts on a DVD, falls asleep with a microwave burrito in his lap, and wakes up believing that zombies are running wild through London.

Further, Shawno’s obsession with kidneys has grown quite disturbing, and I wish he’d stop talking about them or at least provide equal time for other organs.

Shawno said there was a secret handshake. I think he’s holding out on ya. =)

So everyone send in topics to shawno and he can randomly draw one?

Lans,
You fit in so well, it’s like you’ve always been part of the Hyper Nonsense dysfunctional family! Welcome aboard, belated. Secret handshake? Well, that one’s a secret even to me. Do we have one of those, and no one told me?

I would love a spontaneous Haiku corner, with topics sent in by listeners. I’m not entirely sure what that will result in, but it should be fun. Great idea!

I’m not surprised they dedicated a statue to Reagan at Vandenburg. What would have shocked me is if they dedicated a statue for him at…say… a homeless shelter. Now THAT would have been amazing.

Jen: I’ve listened to well over three episodes, but you still haven’t shown me the Hypernonsense secret handshake.

I suggest a spontaneous Haiku corner for the show. Listeners can send in a topic and Jen can then compose for the topic on the spot.

Spontaneous Haiku!!!! A master-stroke of audio entertainment.

Regarding album art for podcasts, for my own show I’ve only got my logo and the web address. Jen’s right when she says it’s better to have something rather than nothing, but I don’t think it’s something that you need to put a lot of effort into.

Off to download the promo now…

Hope,
Yep. We are ready for Wabi Sabi, Fung Shui, and whatever else ya got.

Farris and Ken,
I’m amused by the little discussion you two are having about craigslist.

Erk from the Erk pod,
Welcome to our little dysfunctional family of Hyper Nonsense people. If you listened to three shows, and we haven’t scared you off yet, you must be one of us.

Diana,
Hey! Interesting article. Reminds me of my little brother, who is an adult, but only chronologically. I miss him.
