The Drabblecast

"Yah, no bickering, there's more than enough genetic material to go around. "

You kind of need Episode 109 - Babel Probe by David D. Levine as a backdrop, but this line was hilarious:

"We should market little dorky bracelets that say ‘What would ChronExplorer2009 do?’."

That one's good. There's a ton. The fake news in episode 55 was one of the wittiest I remember, about the measures taken to keep bums from public benches, including giant metal spikes installed on benches, which just ended up "trapping the less elastic hobos that wedged themselves between the spikes to sleep..."
Then the city spends tons of tax dollars buying expensive comfy leather reclining couches for the homeless people, to lure them away from the benches.
Then as a last resort "in a desperate attempt to fix the severe problem of people without homes sitting in places where people with homes sat...when they weren't in their homes" the city hires the homeless people to sit on benches to displace themselves.

It perfectly satires the absurd bureaucratic thinking that gives us most of our public policy. I actually wondered for awhile, because of Norm's delivery, if this story was real. I always think of it when I hear absurdity on the news.

So far out of all the Drabblecast I've seen, (which is not a lot, (don't worry I'm working on it)) is from 127,
"...of course Rob Robinson catches carp, leprechauns catch carp, the flu catches grass carp. Kobe Bryant, Bono, Tom Cruise, Kenneth Lay, Frosty the Snowman, Alex Rodriguez, Hualdo Rivera, Carlos Mencia, Kanye West, Lakers Fans, Battle Field Earth, 1995 Ford Explorers and your mom all very very much like to take either doe or grass, which ever is more convenient to the, and catch massive amounts of grass carp with it."

Wait til you dig back far enough to hear his field report about noodling for candiru.

(I'm too lazy to dig up the episode number, but if you're a dedicated weirdo, you'll get there...)

This is not (even remotely) a Normism but this report [ http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/se ... -un-speech ] on Gaddafi's recent UN speach reminded me of a rambling Norm rant (especially the 'wind-up the EscapePod audience so that they love me' variety). Perhaps there are a few bucks in speach writing for the Libian loon.

I would like to go that far back, but when I try to see, "where it all began", it doesn't play.

I go to the MP3 section, because when I play in the podcast section, it plays for a while then gets a big question mark on the screen. When I go far enough back on MP3, it doesn't play at all. The play button won't even come up.

What is going on with this?

There's something wrong with the original archive, but I was told most people go here:

It lives

Thank you very much.

This is the guy who coined the phrase "Don't let the cat out of the bag....
because this is a Dentist's office, and that's the last thing we need running around here."

He's confident...arrogant even...about his ability to coax up mythical creatures from the ground using only camel intestine dolled up as a saucy deathworm lolita.

I'm still very fond of 'Yeah, well your mother's a conflict of interest.'

My latest favorite:

"The Grinch and the Whos, Texans and Jews, Humphrey Bogart and Jesus, here’s looking at yous."

My favorite was the Marriott corporate meeting reviewing duck safety protocols. And the long long outro tacked onto the "creative commons license" statement, about memorizing the drabblecast, descending into subterannean caves during the nuclear holocaust, emerging to a new drabble-based religion, etc. That was a Rube Goldberg.
