Yes. The MN State Fair is easily the greatest in the country and one of my favorite places, period.

Hey, BTW everyone, if you enjoyed Claudia, or if you haven't even listened to the episode yet (like me), you owe it to yourself to check out her shorts from BBC4 Channel 4: She's so great. Edit: I didn't know what the difference between Channel 4 and BBC4 was.

The joke about someone having the titular line in Breaking Bad is ruined when you realize that Jesse has the titular line in the pilot.

Apparrently Todd's penis is only 11 inches long

BEEF OVER

Next time Alan should be the co-host. He's got the chops: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A

Ahh, Princess Azula herself! Grey would be one of my all-time favorites for just that role, but she's consistently amazing.

Best moments of the year, surely. How could it not?

Re: Gran Torino - Yes, the first draft did take place in St. Paul, home of a giant Ford plant and a massive Hmong population. The screenwriter Nick Schenk is from there and worked at the plant, where he met a lot of Hmong immigrants and was inspired to make the movie by listening to their stories.

The Name of the Wind! Great book, very recommended for those folks who "hate fantasy, except Game of Thrones". It's pretty much "The Han Solo of a fantasy world goes to Hogwarts."

"He knew Marilyn Monroe... and he had sex with her I imagine? Because he saw her naked in a bedroom and thought she was a painting."

What a coincidence, the guy who invented and sells "Bulletproof Coffee" is the one who's done all the research showing that it's the healthiest coffee around. My favorite claims are that "52-92.7% of all coffee beans have Mycotoxins" so broad and specific at the same time. Of course, he doesn't have to prove that the amount of fungus is dangerous, he just has to use the word "toxins" and the sheep will flock. Ramhand and Nick Thune should all get together for an unintentionally hilarious podcast extolling all this woo B.S... With David Huntsberger asking if coffee beans have souls.

I have to reign in Aaron here: The "Space pen" story is false. The sensitive equipment in a space capsule cannot be exposed to the (electricity-conducting) dust and chips that can be made by lead or graphite pencils. It cost the government nothing, since it was invented by a private citizen and given to NASA for free, and the Russians use our space pen also. I expect a full retraction next week. That's 2 weeks of retractions in a row. 2 strikes, Aaron. *Gulp*

the "-um" suffix is tainted with old-fashioned racism. In a morbid coincidence, RIP Mayor Ed Koch.

B, gimmie a Z. O, gimmie an A. B, gimmie a Z...B, gimmie another Z. Y, gimmie a U. Your name is Zazzu!
