Title: You people make me sick.
Post by: Jason on October 19, 2010, 08:14:15 PM
Yeah, that's right, you make me sick.
Here we are, possibly at the tail end of the longest dry spell in the Best Show's illustrious ten year history, and there is nary a mention that this very night Tom Scharpling's velvet tones may once again be gracing our undeserving ears.
I don't see a fill-in scheduled.

Where is the fevered anticipation?
Where are the hope-filled wishes?
Where are the supplications to whatever god you hold dear?

The silence is deafening, and you have the audacity to call yourselves a Friend of Tom.

Hey, I was just frantically checking everywhere I could to try to discern whether he was going to be back tonight, all right? LAY OFF!

You get more Tom's with silence than you do with vinegar. That said, if the throne is righted tonight, it will be at least five times better than the Extras christmas special where Andy goes shithouse on the entertainment industry.

Chinatown noted it.  Never underestimate the loyalty of the exile.

Yawn.

EDIT: I'm only kidding. Welcome back, Tom.

I only heard the first hour of the show tonight and looking forward to the podcast. All I can say is Tom sounded in top form. It is great to have him back. I smiled a lot listening to tonight's broadcast.

Oh boy, I saw the Twitter announcement from Tom but couldn't tune it.  Please cast that pod quickly.

I have had, quite literally, the most wrenching month of my life. Knowing the Best Show is back on makes me a little happier. Thank you, Tom.

what's interesting is i had converted a few people during Gonerfest 7, so the newcomers i met kept anticipating Tom's arrival after all the bragging i did.

and the first show they heard was the one on Tuesday.  i hope they learned and loved.
