Folks, what a tasty podcast! The Tom Waits theme running through was particularly appropriate, and I’m a bit embarrassed for not having thought of Tom myself. Then again, that is part of what is so cool about the CP.
I also note that some of you do an excellent imitations of drunks….
Cheers!

“Imitations”, Wankel??? Are you really sure about that???

LOL at Crash

This one was great, especially the Elbow and the Divine Comedy and The Truckee Bros! And yes, I’d love to tip a few back with you all and get stinking drunk! I don’t handle hangovers very well at this age, though, so I could fake being drunk!

Dirk - I have never been very good at doing tongue-in-cheek online…
mjrc, that sounds like a great idea! What should we drink?
By WankelRotaryEngine on 11.29.07 2:50 pm
Oooh, a Contrast Podcast drinking sesh - that’d be grand! We could pick a location equidistant from everyone, then gather there for a night of merriment. Maybe Greenland…

omg, fil, you are PRESCIENT! (wait til you see tomorrow’s post)

now that would turn out to be a hard theme for the CP: ‘Greenland’ …. ha ha … although I’m also curious to know if we will proceed with the six remaining deadly sins one of these days …
By Dirk on 11.30.07 8:37 am
Yeah, Dirk, I’m really scratching my head for “sloth,” but I’m sure I’ll figure one out!
By nat on 11.30.07 9:30 pm
Hah! I’ve already got my sloth track all picked out. And there will be more sinning, of that I’m certain…
