    one more thing: Do you guys want me to post an 'un-boxing video' of me taking the bandage off of my gross pinky that I sliced off last week? Doesn't seem fair that Tim gets to post his video once a week while I'm just sitting here like a jerk.

     

    We should probably do a vote. So like this post if you want me to post the video or quote it and say gross dont do that you weirdo if you don't

     

    Unbox it, but only post it if it's proper gross. I don't deal with disappointment well.

    Missed the last 10 pages, but it seems like this is the 'Review of Other Podcasts' thread.

     

    Spontaneonation (or some reasonable spelling thereof): the more SuperEgo folks on their the better. The Mars trip was great.

    CBB - the 6th anniversary and the Cameron Esposito/JW Stillwater eps were instant classics. Listening to Scott struggling to maintain some kind of grasp of coherence towards the end of JW/Cameron/JW Prime was gold.

    Reality Show Show - been hitting up those as well. REALLY enjoying those.

     

    The past two HH eps have not been AS enjoyable as some in the past for me, and maybe it's just me, but I look forward to the bright future of these two fine lads.

    "Scientists" and their "fancy book learning" know very little about dinosaurs. I was born in the 1980. I grew up on a steady diet of Weird Al tapes and Monty Python sketches on CDs. I probably didn't listen to non-comedy audio consistently until I tried to like Dave Matthews Band in order to be more attractive to the lady types. (Spoiler Alert, didn't help). My father, pictured as a youth somewhere on the Ep. 80 thread, encouraged my funny chops by introducing me to Monty Python's Search for the Meaning of Life, long before I was really ready for it, but man. LOVED it.

    Now in college. Halo is a thing. First person shooters are popular. I SUCK at them. I notice a lot of the kids on Halo have really threatening names like "A33a33ink1ll3r18293 or SupremeDeathLordMurderD3thKillerManz291032764876978897". These names were not funny or scary, but they were dumb. So I decided to mock them. I knew Thunder was scary, Skellington scary (even before I knew how scary skellingtons were). Something like Thunder needed to be paired with something not scary. Possibly the most unthreatening word I could think of.....Lilac! Thus Lilac Thunder was born.

    Then I discovered a show that I legitimately did not understand.... for a while, but I started looking "is this jokes"? on the forum. Then I kept listening and suddenly it became funny. I also wanted funny, but didn't know if my real name was appropriate. So Lilac Thunder was the natural choice of funny name. Typing dinosaur was the most non-scary lilac image on the internets. Then some people referenced my dinosaur image. It then it me, I'm no dinosaur. I'm a social science guy who likes people and laffs. I thought about making the big reveal at comment 100, but then I found SteveH's pancake recipe.... things like that change a man. Even one occasionally confused as a dinosaur. So, pending approval of the name checker thing. I am Houston.

    The screen is filled with the faces of 1,000s of forumers on their computers. You see their eyes glistening as they hear the heavenly 'whaddup whappup'. One man, human man, seemingly disfigured as a grotesque purplish dinosaur rises from his computer. He attempts to clap. DAMN ARMS, but others... moved by the sad flailing arms begin to beat out the sound....

     

    clap.

     

    clap.

     

    CLAP.

     

    CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.

     

    The camera cuts to some forum called rabbit... reddit... unsure... where snarky, neredowells fingers fall away from their keyboards to wipe tears from there eyes.

     

    [off camera, voice says] He did it. That son of a bitch really did it. He wrote the perfect forum comment.

    In a land before my time in this forum, I didn't quite get the truth drops from Sean and Hayes. Then they introduced a segment called "Eh, Wrong". That truth won me over. Great sode.

     

     

    Why are there so many cartoon dinosaurs in this forum? It's a regular Jurassic world in here.

     

    You've seen the shoddy quality of fences in that park. Why even ask the question?

     

    Well earned Pro, Joe.
