Audible Althouse, #21.

Here. Drugs taken and not taken, dispensed by doctors and friends; lobotomies; whom to cast in the various roles if they ever make a movie of the new biography of Sandra Day O'Connor; not wanting to eat in an empty restaurant; how scary "Rodan" and the eagle owl are; and how a few stray words about Open Source Media (the erstwhile Pajamas Media) led to a spew of comments calling me things like "a Berkeley house whore." 41 minutes.

You are now officially my hero.

You may be a house whore, but you're definitely not a house negro.

Although being Caucasian, you were probably never in much danger.

But still.

"Semen-esque" made me laugh.

Johannes: I can't spread memes. Memes are memes because they are contagious. I just happen to say some things that are catchy, so they spread. That's why you're calling them memes. What am I supposed to do? Tone it down and not say such catchy things? I've been trying to avoid saying much about OSM today. If I had actually meant to go after it and had set my mind to that -- oh, my dear, you have no idea what that would look like. Signed, Your Berkeley House Whore.

Ann, I will never make fun of Wisconsin's weather again. It's not worth the risk!

Not only is Abe Vigoda alive, but you can get an extension for Firefox that makes sure you are aware of his aliveness or deadness every time you fire up your browser.

version 2.61 just came out

'60's catchphrases? You bet your bippy! I think of Lurch from The Addams Family saying "You Rang?"

Upon further reflection, I see the late Marty Feldman as the owl. (Hey, if they can put Brando in the upcoming Superman movie -- and they are! -- how much dialog does Feldman need to play an owl?)

Despite Festering Pustules Media, we like our uppity, drunk, on drugs, Berkeley House Whore! Or was that comment in Bad Taste?

You need to remark on the podcast about the comments section of the previous podcast...and down the rabbit hole we go!

Wait, wait! Abe Vigoda as Rodan! What was I thinking?

Ice-pick to bio-pic. mini-meme.

No more a Berkely house whore:
now you're a Boozey Tom Cruise-y Floozie!
