Maybe this is a lesson to us all that we should have less seasonal fun on this forum.

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

How convenient that this new Andrew joined the forums on October 25th and the real Andrew changed his name on October 24th. I think a conspiracy might be afoot.

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

Maybe we should haze that new Andrew until he gives up his name. We need to protect our own!

 

Use your magical scribe powers to bring back HugLife

 

Will do. I'll start working on it now.

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

It's a bit mysterious that certain forum folk disappeared around the time that I wrote a story about them. And then they reappeared and may never ever know that this story was written. Once I become successful in showbiz (supposedly from listening to this podcast, although that is now in question) maybe I should turn this story into a hit television show executive produced by Dick Wolf, then these forum folk can see their lives portrayed on the small movies screen.

 

PS - Happy Birthday, Chanson!

Joe! This is my favorite Halloween video. I had a VHS copy growing up. Me and my friends used to pull this out every year and watch Tim Curry make an ass out of himself. I am so glad you posted this!

 

PS - the special effects really hold up in this.

thats a really fancy looking underpass. most of the ones around here are made of rigid, cold concrete and asphalt and copies of ferris bueller's day off on vhs are VERY hard to come by, so consider yourself lucky.

 

Oh this photo is from when we were living in an abandoned Blockbuster Video. We made DVD stew and VHS sandwiches for a while until it all ran out. I used a Bull Durham poster for a blanket and got high on head cleaner. Those were some good days.

judging by her face Zoe wants no one near her usps large flat rate box

 

either that or she is tired. could go either way

 

She will cut you if you come near her usps large flat rate box.

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

I pretty much live on the street now but I use every cent I've got to keep up those payments. My cat Zoe lives in a cardboard box. We sleep under a freeway overpass. We busk in bart stations on the weekends for a little cash. Overall, it's not a bad life because we have the pro version.

B Ho, did you see that earwolf instagrammed your Cody poster? Kudos.

2. Weather, living in the city, and having a big boy job. I'm so sick of school and living on a budget.

What's your new job?

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

Three questions for rod:

1. What fears do you have related to moving across the country?

2. What aspects of the big move are you most excited about?

3. And what makes you feel like a right plum?

[Episode 204 — High & Mighty For Smarties]

I love beginning my walk to work every Wednesday morning with Adam Ant's Apollo 9. It gets me so pumped!

 

I got a little bummed out about all of their Halloween hate. Let the folks like what they like. I'm not a huge fan of xmas, but when I see that someone else is into it, it still makes me smile. They get joy from it, so let them be.

 

But I did enjoy Howard's spooky scenarios for Alison. Two Sklars in glasses! It can't be possible!

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

Wait a minute...can we discuss Cody spilling his hi-C on the machine and making this episode jarring for a minute? What kind of hi-C was it? By any chance was it a....Ecto Cooler?! Cody is some kind of electronics ghost, entering the wires, breaking recordings devices, and disappearing without notice. Is this a photo of Cody? I think it might be.

 

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

I also giggled heartily when Iliza told the fellas that they talk like Dutch people who are just now figuring things out.

[Episode 56 — Iliza Shlesinger, Our Close Friend]

Good ep. I love Hayes's reaction to the tissue box. I love the explanation of the pro version, because frankly I did not know what I was getting myself into when I bought it. It's quite a commitment. I love Hayes's secret cards against humanity ad. I loved hearing Hayes's OCD with saying the opening line of the show...and then saying "Heeey" when he gets it right, like some kind of Fonzie.

 

What? Do I have a favorite? No...no, I don't think I have a favorite. Oh no, Sean is great...no really, he is. Ok...well then, I like how Sean hit on Hayes when Sean was playing teacher. "And can I say if I had students who looked like you, they'd be getting a little bit of extra credit. And that's just a compliment on your appearance."

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

 

They said it couldn't be done, but we did it! Thanks Hayes for that bump in posts!! We couldn't have done it without you. Andrew and Joe, you guys kept setting the bar higher and higher. I can't say I didn't curse you from time to time, but you pushed me to be the forum poster that i never knew I could be. And for that I thank you. I'd also like to thank my boss for making my job so unbearably boring. We did it guys!!

 

 

PS - I do not condone this kind of cat torture and humiliation.

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

Hayzie, has your mismatched hair and beard been a benefit or detriment to your success and popularity? Follow up: Speak on that.

 

Clem, Is kitties is movies? If not, why do I watch them all the time?

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

wow quite the number of vegetarians on the forums. I have attempted it before and, as I am quite open minded when it comes to food but also quite lazy when it comes to food it has never stuck. tomorrow night i am going on a date (!) with a vegetarian--maybe her influence will help.

 

Good luck on your date!!

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

Ok. Yay! Thanks for the Veg love! I am originally from Arizona, where I was often shamed for not eating meat. It's definitely easier here in the Bay Area though.

 

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

 

Homefries. Garleec, onyones, pepras, butta, cast iron. Cook that shit up with paprika, salt, peeper, maybe even some cumin, corriander and clove. Finish it under the broiler. Stuff it into your face. Totes Veege

 

Or you can just toss some taters in olive oil with salt and rosemary and roast it. Potatoes is gud.

 

Delicious! I shall now make potatoes for dinner tonight.

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

 

Not sad. Veege is fine. There is local, sustainable, humanely raised meats tho. I don't think you need to sacrifice your morals to have some tasty, tasty gravy covered fried taters.

 

BRRII, what's your favorite way to prepare a tater? Fried? Roasted?

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

I am going to beautiful San diegy

 

Oh fun! I don't want to start any east coast-west coast battles in here, but the West Coast is the better of the two coasts.

 

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

LET'S GO FOR 500!

 

Andrew, are you staying up all night for this?

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

Guys, I'm embarrassed by my last post (#249). I think I just revealed how sad my life is...I'm a dumb vegetarian who will never taste real poutine.

[Episode 55 — Lauren Lapkus, Our Close Friend]

I've never actually been to Montreal, but I want to go someday. And I've never had poutine because I'm vegetarian. I've heard that there's veggie poutine out there, but it's not as good. Eh, I'll have to try it someday anyway.
