Remind Tom how important the show is to you by letting him know how you would otherwise spend your Tuesday Knights.
Dorvid
8:00 - 8:45 - Rob a bank; trash an animal hospital.
8:45 - 9:45 - "Jordan, Jesse Go."
9:45 - 10:30 - Cry. Call ex-girlfriends.
10:30 - 10:35 - Post about my despair on AST.
10:35 - 10:40 - Edit my AST post; add photo of cats, compliment Paul F. Tompkins.
10:40 - ? - Stare out a window/"Never Not Funny"/ Black Fudge Heroin/ "This American Life"/ Pant Rummage/ "Seven Second Delay"
-
Time spent on TBSOWFMU would now be spent on:
- more low quality You Tube videos (save me from this time-sucking stuff)
- more CSI reruns
- finally doing something with those green stamps
I need more laughter in my life. Forget all the other stuff.
-
perfectly formed shame spirals :-[
-
Watch John from Cincinnati.
-
What wouldn't we otherwise do?
Tom helps me be on a path of righteousness. No Best Show No Peace.

Know Best Show, Know Peace.
Take that, Christians. Cheek? Turn please.
Thanks.

I honestly don't know how I'd fill that void.
That's the saddest part of all.
-
watch Veronica Mars oh wait that show got cancelled. Then probably just read a book
-
I would spend yet another evening watching television of greater or lesser crappiness, probably dozing on and off over the course of the hours. My week would be one seamless stream of drear.
On the other hand, I also would go to bed earlier on Tuesday nights and wouldn't have odd dreams in chat format.
-
Le Show
-
Read Omar's Smodcast recaps.
-
Sleep. Stare. Write. Stare.
-
All I can say is that the number of Tuesday night hobo disappearances in Durham has gone WAY down since I started listening to the Best Show.
-
My blue habit would skyrocket if not for the show.
-
I would grit my teeth and ask the Heaven's why, oh why, can they not send down someone who is smart, grouchy, sarcastic, with excellent musical taste, a bizarre sense of humour, and a flawless moral compass to show me the light?
-
Now that I have had The Best Show in my life. I can't think of any other way to spend my Tuesday nights.
Archives would take over
-
I'd just plain put my head in something and hope for the best
-
I would probably just read reddit and sulk about my failed relationships and shortcomings.
The Best Show is the only comedy in my life.
-
I'd call Spike and hang up when he answers the phone, just so I could hear his voice.
Oh, and I'd work on a Union Army uniform so I could become a Civil War reenactor.
-
Watch Kenneth Branagh's As You Like It on HBO Tueday night at 9pm:

-
Law and Order marathons on USA, NBC, TNT holy shit law and order is on all the friggin time.
-
I might open a mattress store.
-
I'll probably spend my Tuesday nights curled up in the fetal position, sucking my thumb.
-
I'd use the time that I would save to become one of the world's foremost scholars on Beowulf.
I might also develop an obsession for cleanliness and order that would occupy every other night of the week. Fortunately, that won't happen as long as The Best Show remains on the air.
-
I've given this some more thought.
I guess I would be left with Le Show.
-

Wait whuuuuuuuuuuuuut? You're the FOT's number one eligible bachelor.
Right ladies?
-
become a full-time dreamer...oh, actually that's what David St. Hubbins would do if he couldn't do his favorite thing in the world. This is all your fault Knoxville, you had me thinking about Derek Smalls with your post.
-
Finish work on my new reality show, "Angus Young's Intern"
-
Well, I usually listen to the show on Podcast, so I'd probably just re-subscribe to the Leonard Lopate show, and continue to listen to AST Radio and The Sound of Young America, and listen to the Stereolaffs releases, and maybe the archives sometimes, and generally be just a little bit sadder. It's my students who'll suffer the most, though; I was always in a great mood when I listened to TBSOWFMU on my way in.
I was also planning on sticking a toe into the water and listen to it streaming, so I could call in. My wife has class Tuesday nights this fall so I'd be home alone. If Tom quits (and the Kid should do whatever he's gotta do), I'd obviously have to scrap that plan.
-

I would say "that's that, mattress man"...

I'd recap the show that wasn't happening, thus ensuring that The Best Show will live on in text form forever!
-
Like fan fiction, or a tribute to John Cage's 4'33".
-
Again, Richard - why does it have to be only one of those?
-
i thought Richard was somehow referring to John Cage - Peter Mac Nicol's character from Ally McBeal - because he was vertically challenged.
-
I would get to the tri-state area, and spend each tuesday night between 8pm and 11pm hunting down C___ J___ and going tall biker on his A__.
Oh, I'd find something to do with that time.
-
I would cry in the shower.
-
My Tuesdays would pretty much be the same, except I'd listen to Phil Collins instead of the show and aimlessly call my ex-wife instead of Tom:

I would finally start that Scharpling/Wurster slash fan fic community. Woah ho ho, I think this comment merits a wacky emoticon. :o
-
Hear! Hear!
I'll see your wacky emoticon and raise you one:

NO GOD NO WHY WHYYYYYYYYYY
I was really hoping against hope that I would go my entire life without ever hearing/reading the words "Scharpling/Wurster slash." Time to go barf up my breakfast and wash my eyes out with bleach.

Are you asking which one is the "woman" in the relationship?
This is making me laugh far more than it probably should.

Now you've gone and ruined a perfectly adorable picture. I hate you guys so much.

For what it's worth, the picture shows up as a red x on my work computer. I'm hoping it's a book cover similiar to Lady Wainsworth's Desire.

It's sort of like that, but it's also like one of Charlie White's "Understanding Joshua" photos:

Except it's like Jon Wurster is feeding the milky stuff to Tom.

*cries*

Oh it is....

What would I do otherwise?
I'd form a rock band! We'd start off as a Blues Traveler cover band, then we'd start writing our own material. Eventually we'd get signed to a major label and write terrible music that, inexplicably, every human would be able to recite verbatim in ten years time. Our biggest hit would be a cover of "Fall Down" by Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Ditto.

In the long run, I will likely spend my Tuesday nights getting plowed in bars & hitting on dudes that look like Tom and Jon, looking desperately to fill the void. No one will live up, though. It will be disappointing. Probably I will die alone.
But this week I think I'll just do laundry and go to the gym.
