    Scott, your thing of the day is fucking awesome! Chuck e Cheese will never be the same again.

    I think the low quality of YouTube videos makes the animatronic beasts less frightening.

    Of course the first thing I put in the Cuil search engine was my own name. The top result is a link to my wikipedia entry (which is already full of crap) alongside a picture of someone who isn't me. Not a good sign! I'll check the show out to get your thoughts soon.

    lmao, I too put my name into cuil as the first thing I searched for. It returned 11ty Billion results for my twitter page but no other online results which google actually does return that are somewhat more relevant.

    Listening to the podcast shortly.

    I had to do a double take and rewind at 38:14 when Rym said "It should be itchy too." Scott immediately responds with,"Right." Then you get a short pause. It made me lol.

    Rym is presently experiencing an allergic reaction to medication.

    You guys were referring to how stupidity should hurt. I thought Rym just said that to throw you off. >.>

    Maybe so, but this one still scared the shit out of me.

    That's because you can't here the grinding of gears and the pressurized burst of what can only be orphan blood that propel these instruments of madness to preform their terrible hell symphony.

    So what's the view on programs that automatically connect to any open wireless access point? It seems a bit like training your dog to "go fetch the paper" instead of "go fetch my paper".
