  Teens love TBTL, too

  Wanted to share a great TBTL review by one of the teen volunteers at Seattle Public Library! http://blog.spl.org/yablog/2009/11/12/too-beautiful-to-not-listen-to/

  I actually saw Gymkata a few months ago

  It's available through Netflix. Please ask JD and Thunder to talk about the incredibly ridiculous -- and awesome -- pommel horse fight scene. Had I been told skill on a pommel horse would help fend off toothless Cossacks in an unnamed Soviet colony, I very well may have taken the gymnastics part of PE a bit more seriously. (i.e. Was the Presidential Physical Fitness Test just an excuse to train the youth of America to be ninjas?!!)

  Best. Movie. Ever

  Haters go home. What a spot on commentary on a the East/West divide than a village of the damned with a pommel horse in the middle of the town square! For shame Eastern Bloc countries, for shame.....

  Tie Tying -- good imaginary radio?

  Once again, you've managed to push the envelope of imaginary radio. I don't get to tune in live very often, but wow, am I glad I did today. I can't imagine the experience of you tying a bow tie without the benefit of video. I'm not hatin'...just sayin' :)

  don't be afraid of the dead air

  Hilarious break after the Stack of Dimes bit. I know it wasn't intentional, but found myself wondering if the podcast was over.

  Tie Tying

  I have a bow tie myself, and I have to admit it is a pain to get right. Next time you decide to bust it out at a wedding or something, make sure to give yourself lots of extra time to get it right.

  I Was Time-Banditing this Episode In Safeway Tonight

  on my I-Pod, and everyone was giving me plenty of room in the aisles because I was laughing manically at the "Gymkata" discussion. TBTL is grocery-shopping helpers!

  Pointy sticks

  Best fight scene ever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gTkUcXGF_Q For you Monty Python fans the "Warriors" in this movie must have been trained by the "Sargeant Major" of the Pice of Fruit school because no one seems to know how to sue their "Pointy sticks!". Absolutly hilarious!
