In this hour, we talk about gas explosions, I defend Dane Cook, and we discuss the best weapon to defend against Zombies.

In review of Mr. Cook’s most recent twitter postings, I will have to rescind much of what I said in this hour. I also may have been drunk. Dane is a whore, pure and simple. A funny, witty, charming, talented, rich and sassy whore, but a whore nonetheless. If by whore I mean guy who gets paid to talk. Which I do. Which explains my lack of fulfillment whenst frequenting whores.

Yes. I said whenst. Hush.

My book review centered on Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story, and I asked our listeners to come up with a fitting Paul Harvey tombstone epitaph. Epigraph? Polyglyph. Something. Anyway, here are a few made thus far, +15 points to each, for being creative for the sake of being creative.

You now know what the show is about, and in a minute you’re going to read the rest… of the story.

Page 2 – If you are a listener of the show, and want to help us out, please throw up a link on your own website. Points, would follow.

It was a sweltering heat, that spring of ‘53, when Mrs. Stroll realized that the moment was upon her. Long had she borne under the load all women must. Hers had been an especially difficult pregnancy. At times wracked with hunger pains, she had been forced by craving, and women’s intuition, to diet exclusively on enormous martinis and creamed corn. Her midsection grew quickly since that autumn, swelling beyond the hope and use of cloth and fabric.

She was determined to have this child naturally, partly from her upbringing, but also due to the mind boggling poverty within which she and her kin lived. They say that the road ain’t no place to start a family, but Tennessuckey could also join that dubious list.

Her time was spent listening to old comedy shows, reading aloud what few words she could make out from a discarded Sherlock Holmes comic book, or describing a wood-cutting of a hirsute Indian Maid (Woo Woo). The baby within, ever larger, would cease his turns and twists and cuddle down, restful for a spell.

But no such remedy would work this day. She began fretfully pacing the yard, an old wives tale spoken to her once said that the best solution for birthing pain is a brisk pace, and she set one that day, working in the yard, skinning and tanning leathers and filling mason jars with bear grease.

The baby gave an especially fast flip inside her, and she let out a holler, in her holler. She stumbled about aimlessly for hours, rolling in the grass, moaning in pain, even climbing trees. She sat in one such tree and began reciting the alphabet.

She had made it to the third vowel when she sneezed.

The townspeople still talk to this day, of the sight it must have been. From all accounts, what took place was surely extraordinary. The baby flew free from his mother, still perched atop her tree. He sailed through the air, landing smartly upon a stretched leather hide and bouncing once, twice, thrice, before landing head first into an open jar of bear grease.

He would want us to mention his name.

This is SomaCow. Good Day!

Even with some alleged short term memory loss, it was pretty easy to remember the first topic from this hour. Elross put it very plainly, in bold, WEED!

Geoff believes that he is now for legalization of marijuana. California is looking into it, as tax revenue. Just think of how much money would be made! I talk to people all the time, of all ages, who say “oh, yeah, we smoke pot”. They are professionals, all ages, all races. Pot smokers are not just college students or drop-outs being lazy and getting high while watching Up In Smoke or Dazed and Confused anymore. It is recognized by many for its medicinal properties and for just relaxation. So why is it still illegal? Mickey thinks it makes you lazy. Maybe the people for the legalization just don’t have the drive to get out there and make changes?

So besides this, the man thing of the week was discussed. Geoff turned the wheel, Mickey forgot to minimize his porn surfing, Ross is thinking, and J snored? I guess that’s manly. Women snore, I know I have and my mom does but I guess we just don’t admit it often? Or maybe the men just don’t complain. Probably the latter.

Mickey’s life coaching centered around the current schools in our system and how worthless they are. Did you get a good education? Was it public? private? How about your kids?

Many men say to look at your girl’s mom and you’ll see your future. But what about guys? Are you like your dad? Do you look like him or act like him? I know that the things I was immediately attracted to in Geoff absolutely resembled my dad.

Are you in the Central Florida area? If so, we’re trying to plan an ice skating meetup/tweetup on June 13th. You can check out the details (or add suggestions) here!

And we are still working out the details on the Cure for the Run on August 22nd. We’re trying to nail down the charity. Have you had experience with charity functions? Maybe you can assist us! We’d love to get your input. You can discuss it with us here. You can donate via paypal to somacow@gmail.com and just put “cure for the run” or some other designation for it!

In this hour, we discussed Da Rain, again, falling on our heads like a tragedy. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? Red rain, or Purple Rain, coming down. If we sound a bit whiny, blame it on the rain, yeah. No point in Crying in the rain, though, cause you Can’t Keep the Rain from Getting In, no. In a weird way, I’m Only Happy When It Rains, but I have heard It Never Rains in Southern California. No, Let It Rain, and We’ll be Naked in the Rain, the Cold November Rain. Though this is barely June yet, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. Who’ll Stop the Rain?

Seriously. It’s precipitatious, baby.

We chatted some about the recent Jen Cookian CF13 News Tweetup, which I was sad to have missed, but Mickey and J and Ross and Jen and Rowan and half the damned network managed to make it to, so, good. I apparently missed out on free margaritas and meeting cool people and magic tricks and more. Damnit. Perhaps next time. We really like Madame Cook.

We also took a live call from Mister 32 in Vegas, who assaulted the roulette tables in our honor, probably breaking six laws involving betting across a Ustream Chat interface. I again thank him for calling in – Made my night. I have a gambling problem, as evidenced by my 120,000,000 meat debt in the Kingdom of Loathing. What kind of a loser loses the financial equivalent of 240 dollars in an internet video game? It’s Just Geoffy.

Jesus Wept.

Enjoy the show, and drink more Starbucks!
