I am often amazed at the power and freedom enjoyed by us Merrikans. We have the ability to host a show out of my freaking HOUSE, beaming our thoughts and ideas at the speed of cat to the massive masses, speaking freely about any topic we wish. We can discuss history without bias, the state of the government, potential corruption in seats of power, the fallacy of religion, the miracles of science, we can spread love and respect for our fellow man, help the weak become strong, give the little guy a leg up, and vanquish the oppresors. Imagine if we had these abilities during each major revolution, under Pharoah, under the rule of Stalin, or even Hitler?

We used our powers in this hour to discuss… Television. Specifically, what I watch.

I would talk more, but I have 7 Top Chefs and 2 episodes of Torchwood to catch up on, and that doesn’t even touch seeing this week’s Obsessed. CanNOT get enough of that show!

What do you watch?

It wasn’t JUST TV talk, honestly. We enjoy a call in from resident word architect Randolph LaLonde after the :40, and he gives us some insight into storycrafting, sci fi style. I invite you to listen in, and check out his word at http://www.spinwardfringe.com

And is it Science Fiction, or sci fi, people. I will never understand what the hell that Syfy crap is being foisted on the public. Asimov would so kick your ass if he saw that.

Siffy? Sighphee? Whatever.
Cure for the Run is in less than a month – Help us do good for Rock for Hunger, with cash, or your volunteering of time flogging the dolphin!

In this hour, we discussed horror, J, and jorts. ALL VERY SPOOKY THINGS INDEED.

Horror… What captures the mind, stimulates the shivers, and why in the hell do people like it so much? I used to be an avid horror fan, but lately when I see new movie ads or read once-favorite horror authors, I am irritated and bored. We’ll see what I think of Randolph LaLonde’s stuff, now available at spinwardfringe.com

Things that have given me the stark raving heebie jeebies?

Keanu’s mouth formed over by Agent Smith in the Matrix. That bugged me.

Or that poor sister in Twilight Zone: The Movie. Same deal. Yeesh. I cannot stand people with skin where orifices should be. Sad day for trannies, everywhere.

The scene in Event Horizon where Sam’s wife appears in the green flashy duct corridor. Boo!

That horrific purple swollen female weird thing that gets shot with a shotgun in the movie House.

That damned kid in the mirror in the movie Mirror.

That damned Japanese kid in the youtube video.

The pink bunny in Hell in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.

The Sun Dog, in general. I don’t know that it is that great a story, I just get scared when I see a Polaroid.

The old ghost story where the kids are rude to their mom, and when they get home, she has been replaced with some horrific…. construct with glass eyes and an impatient horsetail. C R E E P Y.

What scares you? Besides being on the paying end of our weekly grocery bill?

Brought to you in this hour by Spinward Fringe – Broadcast IV is now available for Mobipocket download, with hard copies soon to come. For some of the best space fiction you can find this side of Babylon V, go and enjoy Randolph LaLonde’s incredible series. I love it, Ross loves it, and J likes shrimp.

In this hour, we discussed the insidious plot of the Amero, and our dollar’s demise. Right now, operatives in Russia, China, Azkaban, Altoona, and Portmanteau are hard at it, whittlin’ away at the power of our tender legal like old men with whittlin’ knives.

What are YOU doing to learn more about this terrifying turn of events?

Have you watched the video?

North American Currency

Even the helpless Canadites are aware of the impending downfall. You mock. You giggle. It’s happened. By Christmas, we will see the roll out of a new currency, with Serpentor’s head on it, and the coin will be made of red dragon gold, which is hot to the touch.

Amero Video

Okay, so not everyone can agree on the coin’s actual shape, weight, material, or value, but WE KNOW IT IS REAL.

Not ONLY will we be buying our jerky with new crimson cash, we will ALSO be riding a new highway to do it!

The NAFTA Super Highway

All kidding aside… The dollar’s day seems to be coming. I will miss our esoteric monopoly money.

We also talked about Vegans, the 0.05k Cure for the Run, and Just Bee graced us with a call. It seems her husband vanished for 3 days, leaving no word of his well being, so she’s retributin’. I am trying to think of the last time I went one day without calling Jen. Speaking of which…

JEN! Come finish writing this blog. It’s covered in Slimy You Tube links.

Um….Jen here. We believe Rowan truly said her first word…”Puppy”. Fin.
