SomaCow Episode 187

In this hour, we discussed my day trip to a nucular power facility, we reminisce on each of our favorite childhood experiments (J misunderstood, I think… But it is a touching tale to hear what happened between the bean courses that night in a leathery tent somewhere woodsy), and we wished my wife, the neatest damned woman I have ever known, a happy birthday!

I will only say this about the nuclear joint – I am no longer scared of terrorists getting in. I mean, they let a fat guy with no papers and seventeen days of shavelessocity wander around the damned grounds for two hours. What!? Us Worry!? It does make me wonder – If you live near a nuclear power plant, are you less happy when your eye passes the structure on the horizon? Does it fill you with dread, or are you unfazed by the sight of sure radiation?

When you were a tyke, did you ever get up to reckless destructive activity masquerading as science? What were your favorite experiments? We failed to go in to so much stuff in this hour, from the old salt, pepper, and palmolive trick (teaches kids important concepts about ethnocivility!) to the old “fill up a room with mouse (mice?) traps and set them all off with a ball at once. Or, your brother! Thanks! So, we’ll revisit the topic another day, but in the meantime there is good information here about hydrogen bombs and sugar stoves and all manner of things that go pop and whee. Very nice.

A very special Happy Birthday to my dear wife, Jen. Many of you have enjoyed the birth of our first child together, shared in the story, and sent us so many well wishes, and for that, I thank you. As a gift to my wife for her birthday, I am going to now turn OFF TEH INTERNETZ, and go snuggle some, and maybe pat the baby on the head or something. Have a great week, and I’ll be back here Wednesday, serving up the podcasty goodness you know and love with my mad fat superdope chefs, Mickey and J. Peace out, indeed.

Oh, but our great music we played and enjoyed…
