SomaCow

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you this week by Randy LaLonde and all the Wondah of his many Writings. You want some good stuff, ebook style? Go get these!

In this hour, we discussed Jason Statham (Hot), Books and the Way We Read, Late Night ESPN, and how Texas Hold ‘Em has really jumped the crane. Corkscrewed the Bomb? Hired the J? (I didn’t mean that last one, honestly!)

We also spent some time lamenting the Death of Battlebots. I do not know why i liked that show so much, but I did, and always rooted for the wedges to die. Mickey has a good take on wedges in this hour, and how the field-leveler will sometimes just come in and ruin a whole thing for the rest of us. Screw the wedges!

We also want to give some special love to Madhouse – you hep cats want some more of the hotness that is Orlando Talk Radio, head on over and enjoy what Carlitos is putting down.
My flail book review failed this week, as miscommunication and general Meredithing of the situation resulted in Randy’s most recent missive-masterpiece lying (laying?) unread on my microwave for a week. Look for a review this week, and we instead spent some time discussing my favorite book, which, strangely, is one of my least favorite movies.

Shakespeare says you are a base-faced eater of broken meats, but you can still listen in, and hear some of the following great tunage:

• Swinging Utters – Five Lessons Learned
• MC Lars – Space Game

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Ma Bell. For all your “Timmy down the well” style communication, you really cannot get better than Em Bar Que.

In this hour, we discussed my struggle to stay home while the best damn movies get released, we take a call from Friend of the Show Chrispy, and Mickey gives some Life Couching. Coaching? Same thing!

It’s been no easy feat, I have to admit. The joy of seeing a life I helped bring into the world grow before my very eyes is immense, but does come with certain drawbacks. It seems most simple things, such as going to the grocery store, now require the logic skill of your garden variety fox, chicken, feed riddle. Take a trip from my house to say, The Willow Tree in Sanford.

I cannot leave the wife at home and just take the baby, because I have no milks. I cannot send the wife with the baby and have me sit here, because I do not get to eat sausages and drink Köstritzer. I cannot leave the baby here and take the wife, because that is the sort of thing they make Lifetime TV movies about. And so I take all three at once, and we stop every, oh, five minutes along the way to “refill” the baby with nourishing milks from boob. Otherwise, I would be the guy that drives around listening to a kid cry, and that’s just gay!

So I opt for the home skillet most days, we have plenty to watch between the DVRs, and for the most part, life has been pretty grand. Baby smiles, dogs like the baby, baby likes the ceiling fan, and everything is straight jack pudding, yeah?

Then Hollywood released the bomb. Back to back to back, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Ironman, The Incredible Hulk 2, The Mummy III, and finally, Batman.

Let me be clear. I am not a Batman dork. But I did see the Michael Keaton effort 5 times. In the theater. Twice in a row, once.

And now I come to terms with the fact that I, the most conscientious and decent citizen ever formed, will never see these films on the big screen, because I am not a big enough douche to drag my kid, who, as Chrispy so eloquently reminds me, has ZERO interest in seeing a movie (sitting in the dark muffling boob), to some movieplex just to ruin the other patron’s experience with the mewling of a child.

Do I want a medal for this? Hell no. Well, yeah. But I really want other parents to take heed of my behavior. NO ONE LIKES YOUR KID BUT YOU. Stop taking them to the movies.

Anyway, we get into some good movie talk, and discuss some characters we liked growing up, and generally just do the deed dirt cheap, all for you, in this, our finest hour.

We screened the following gems – Check ‘em out!

• Former Fat Boys – Imaginate
• April March – Chick Habit
