I never forget about Gene!

In case I've hurt his feelings; my gift to you...

[align=center]Gene Steinberg really is the bees’ knees
He hates Ufological sleaze
He speaks of great movies
And tells us they’re groovy
Until a grumpy little voice sighs,
“Oh Jeez!” [/align]

Nahh ... sorry ... mine scans better :-D ... and what? no mention of 'Attack of the Rockoids' ... how dare you :P

Actually both of these limericks are indeed rather good and effortlessly limericky ... I'd take my hat off to you but I haven't got one to take off of my head ... off ... oh you get the point :D

Anyway ... here's one for Jeff Ritzmann ... aaahem ... clears throat ...

Well you try finding a rhyme for 'Ritzmann' :D

schtick ... who finds that the easy route is sometimes the best thing to do when you're terrible at writing limericks :D

David --

Haven't been here for a bit and the first thing I run across is this.

Sheesh.

Show wouldn't be the same without you. If you really want to think in terms of retooling the show into being more commercial, that would be an interesting exercise, and I'm not entirely sure I'd like the resulting product.

And, yes, I tend to think you go on a bit long sometimes, and the cheese and chocolate jokes don't work for me anymore (the first time was amusing for the non sequitur value, which I will concede does count), and I'm not sure you were entirely fair with George Knapp, but (oh, and here it gets sappy...) David, I'm glad you're around. You're making an effort to try to keep the community honest. It's a thankless task and damned few people even try, and I appreciate that you and Gene do what you do.

Thanks ... thats high praise indeed :P

The funny thing is though it kind of works ... if you do it in the sing-songy way limericks are read out ... weird but true :D ... maybe I've tapped into something ... maybe you are god (small 'g' of course ... wouldn't like to put ideas in your head :P) ... maybe you are the mathermatical centre of the space-time continuum, maybe you are the gatekeeper of the akashic records ... maybe ... ummm nahhh ... probably not you just haven't got the legs for it.

Still at least it rhymes though :D
 
David, you and Gene are a team!!! Don't listen to the brainless dolts who don't understand where you're coming from. As Gene would say, "Geez!!"

Having had some time to reflect, I'd like to change my vote. Gene, it's time for Dave to go. For one, he can't pronounce my name correctly to save his life. For two, it's a little-known (but KNOWN nonetheless) fact that Dave records each broadcast naked from the waist down, smothered in melted pudding pops.

Is this really the man you want representing the Paracast?

Is he allowed to say 'melted pudding pops' before the threshold?? :eek:

schtick ... not too sure he's old enough for such smut

p.s. hurr de hurr ... he said 'smothered' :D

I heard Dave does the show naked in bathtub covered in crickets

No, that's actually how he watches his extensive collective of Disney VHS tapes. Not on TV, mind you, he just likes to stare at the cover art.

I might be a bit late to the party, but I vote that Biedny stays.
We need someone not afraid to ask the hard questions.
I would really like to hear more of J. Ritzmann too.

This was something I thought David might enjoy:

Jeff might enjoy that one too.
 
No matter who you have host, there will always be people who criticize. Lack of criticism, is actually a sign you have a boring show. So, try not to let it get to you. Leaders of the pack, have a lot of arrows in their backs.
 
I had to stop when you guys started bashing Clapton over his dead kid. Not entertaining for me. Too much like Ann Coulter.
 
Well, DBTrek, I have to agree, that's why there's only one episode.

Meanwhile, we were both activists for the homeless in San Francisco for years, breaking the law to feed hungry folks on the street, so hopefully, we've got some karmic credit in the end.

It seemed the other host was more intent on pummeling Clapton than you were, though like I said, I stopped listening shortly after the attacks began.

Kudos for your work with the homeless. I used to have a soft spot in my heart for people who were destitute and living on the street . . .

. . . then I moved to a big city. A place where the street people weren't simply recovering addicts or normal folk who had fallen upon rough times. A place where you were more likely to run into someone who was insane, a scam artist, or a violent criminal. I've almost gotten in to brawls with a couple of 'homeless' folk here in Seattle (one of these guys was so fat he had to have about 50 lbs on me). Last year there were a number of homicides and rapes committed by the 'homeless' that briefly made headlines. There seems to be a lot of victimization perpetrated by these folk on eachother and lately is seems that it's spilling on to innocent bystanders as well.

The whole experience sort of soured me on the plight of these folk, since I have no way of telling who needs help and who's simply a violent, opportunistic, dirtbag. I want to help someone who just needs a little push to get back in the game. I don't want to accidently give help to one of the two homeless guys who were gang raping a homeless woman near a dumpster behind Wendy's last month.

Anyway, that's my long way of saying that I'm sure you earned the karma back, and I'm kinda amazed that you were involved in such a thing.

This is OT, but some towns and cities over here in the UK combat the problem of the homeless begging in the streets by setting up secure donation boxes all over town - if you want to give to the homeless, you put your donation in the box. That money then goes to the council-run soup kitchens and doss-houses who are only too happy to provide a hot meal and a warm place to stay to those that are in genuine need...
