I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet...
The best "get off my phone!" of 2007, BY FAR, is when Tom yelled at the law school guy who called in and asked where he and his girlfriend should go on vacation. Tom said something like "It sounds like you have rich people problems," and then demolished the poor guy. I've never taken more pleasure in another's pain.
And yes, I signed up just to add this.

The first hour is complete. Drainage!

I'm the next call you're going to write about! Do me proud, recapper of the year!
-
I just made it into this version.
-
The recaps always make me feel like I was funnier than I actually was. For this reason among many, Omar rules.

Wow, Omar, not only do I feel famous, but you make me sound like I make sense! You are awesome!

I am mostly fully-recovered from my Jerky Boys-related depression, though I had a mild relapse when I found out that one guy still has a gig doing voiceover work, on Family Guy of all places. Sad world, etc. Also, it was not entirely my decision to see the movie in theaters, since I recall not actually being the primary decision-maker in this particular moviegoing party. I don't even remember who I saw it with, only that it was with a group of people and everyone was kind of nonplussed after the whole thing ended. I actually forgot Alan Arkin was in it, that there was some sort of mafia hijinx plot, and just about everything else outside of the ending where "Frank Rizzo" calls President Clinton. Stupid 90's.
Great recap as usual.

I was right there with you, sizzlechest. In spirit, anyway.
Get this: the group I went with decided to pre-purchase tickets on opening day in NYC. So eager were we to have a gander at the Boys of Jerky that we didn't want to chance a sold out show. I was not the ringleader, but certainly a more than willing particpant.
We needn't have been so prepared -- there weren't many people in the theater. Afterwards, when everyone was lamenting the horrible lameness we had just paid witness to, I feebly attempted to offer some constructive criticism, like "That kind of plot, with two goofs outwitting the mob, it can work; they just needed to tighten things up and, you know, write it better..." I believe the others thought a little less of me for offering any remotely defending words for something that embarrassingly bad.
I remember another of us commented, "That Johnny guy has a little charisma, at least; but the other guy looked like he didn't want to be in the movie." Very true.
So anyway dat ting was a bad misfire. They made a jerky out of me. Enjoy your yacht, Alan Arkin.

Haha, and now this! (http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Lifestyle/Features/10%20Even%20Snobbier%20Albums%20That%20M/)
For those of you unfamiliar with the duo, Scharpling and Wurster are essentially the Jerky Boys for the indie-snob sect.

I honestly don't think I've been so offended in a long time.
And what an article. We will be discussing it tonight.
Tom.

I always say, "consider the source". A few minutes poking around Mr. Bayer's website proves me right once again.
Nobody talks smack about "On the Beach". (I know "the Kid" can take care of himself)
Mr. Bayer needs a good smack upside the head with a non-reverse Firebird or maybe one of those ridiculous Zakk Wylde Bullseye Les Pauls.
