Well, I guess it didn’t invalidate the e-mail where I made the assumption you were in Ohio then.

Also, go eat.

Keith, as Mike pointed out I don’t live up there anymore, so my Milwaukee intel is pretty much out of date. I can tell you to have a hamburger at Kopps, though. Oh, and find a Rocky Rococo. My favorite pizza in the whole wide world.

I’m all about food right now.

Mike,

Clearly I don’t listen to the show that carefully :P

Taber 2 rules! I can’t wait for Taber 3D and the direct-to-dvd Taber 4: In Space!

Thank you Dave. See, I’m not crazy. Also, here’s a link to the illustrated gallery of 700 hobos

Good god, keith! You listen to the show but can’t remember that Sean is FROM Wisconsin. LIVES in Ohio.

Sean, I’d still go through with the restraining order.

In retrospect, I should have realized with all the Wisconsin references in both Gravity and Sentinel . . . That’s right, I just decoded the McKeever Code!

Sean, would it be cool if I bugged you with some Milwaukee questions at some point?

By: keith cunningham

keith cunningham — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 08:25:15 +0000

Wait . . . McKeever lives in Milwaukee?

I guess this invalidates the e-mail I already sent where I made the assumption that he lived in Ohio? Where did I get that impression? I’m not sure.

Strangely enough I’m actually hopefully going to be moving to Milwaukee soon. I swear I’m not stalking McKeever though.

I think we should leave them both up, Taber. The first one can be from Taber two, since you both hate your families. I also like Sean’s commentary, and feel that it should be a weekly feature. In conclusion, that’s a nice song, Sam.

Crank, please delete the first post and leave the far more amusing second post above.

thanks.

I see, Sean, so you’ll distract me with the ruse of friendship, just to score some free software. That is weak sir, weak!

Just kidding. I will actually be in Wausau for Christmas I think. We’re having the present opening with family this weekend so I don’t know why I actually need to leave town for Christmas, once presents are exchanged I don’t need to see or hear from my family again until my birthday. If they don’t get me what I want I yell at them! “I asked for the HD-DVD of Miami Vice dammit! This is the Standard Definition DVD! What are you all fucking stupid? How are we even related?” (tosses DVD at wall, shattering the case, then kicks brother’s dog, collapses in recliner and takes a giant bite out of Hillshire Farms Summer Sausage from thoughtless gift basket from father.)

Aren’t you supposed to be writing a book or something, McKeever?

By: Sean McKeever

Sean McKeever — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:40:58 +0000

See, Taber, and here I was gonna tell you to drive to Milwaukee on X-Mas day and see it with me. And bring me a free copy of the latest Acid Pro. Heh.

Aaaaaaaaand now it’s the song that’s featured on my myspace page.

By: Sam W

Sam W — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 20:38:21 +0000

Also there’s a really good song by Harvey Danger (featuring super rock star and current Bound Stems member; Evan Sult) called “Sometimes you have to work on Christmas” that Mike just reminded me about.

A studio apartment in a dull part of seattle
A strand of light suspended by a thumbtack in the drywall
The restaurants are closed
So are the record shops, the banks, and bars, and bartel drugs,
And soâ€™s the half price bookstore
But the movies are always open
And I always have to open
A repertory movie house
Well life is not so wonderful
For 15 soggy patrons who have no better place to be
Not to mention me
Iâ€™m working for a holiday wage
My family is two time zones away,
Iâ€™m supposed to call them
My vodka and snow is melting
The alcohol isnâ€™t helping
Sometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimes
You have to work on christmas, sometimes
You gotta work on christmas,
I doubt Iâ€™ll miss this
Thereâ€™s an artificial tree blinking in the lobby,
Sitting on the coffee table, yea
Strangers and spare changers stand in line like poor relations
At some kind of sad reunion
And Iâ€™m selling the tickets
They come in out of the weather
For christmas alone together
Sometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimes
You have to work on christmas, sometimes
You have to work on christmas,
I doubt Iâ€™ll miss this next year
Sometimes you have to work on christmas, sometimes
You gotta work on christmas, sometimes
You have to work on christmas,
I doubt Iâ€™ll miss this at all

If you can find it, it’s worth it. Very good.

In response to the “creation” of Festivus.

–Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and pouring of libations, and culminating in a feast and gift-giving. It was founded by Ron Karenga, and first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967. Karenga calls Kwanzaa the African American branch of “first fruits” celebrations of classical African cultures.–

So Mike, is Kwanzaa not real since it wasn’t made by a baby Jesus?

Rocky Balboa has been moved up from x-mas to Dec 20th. I got a free ticket in my recent purchase of the Rocky 2-disc special edition. I am first in line.
