IT'S A TENT POLE SHOW. YOU CAN'T HAVE A TENT WITHOUT A TENT POLE. BEST SHOW IS A TENT POLE SHOW.
This certainly falls in the "Rules" category.
-
Whew. I can return my copy of Stroszek now. That was close.
-
Darn tootin' you can't stop it. Tom is on his throne and all is right with the world.
-
YES TOM!!! YES!
Open with 'We Made It' by Ghostface.
-
Can't wait. One hour to go. Go Tom!!

THANK YOU TOM!
-
Rock'n Good News!!
-
Fantastic. Way to go, Tom.
I'm gonna listen in real-time for the first time in over a year. Eff a podcast!
-
I was out of town without Internet access for over a week and I finally got around to listening to last weeks show. It was horrifying.
I'm very happy that the show is back on tonight and I am even happier that I did not have to go through the suspense of not knowing if the Best Show would continue for a week.
-
Tonight's show = automatic W
Have a great show, Tom!
-
Rock'n Good News!!
I must say, this news has me hotter than Georgia asphalt.
-

I know W or L is over, but tonight is a success.
-
Great show top to bottom. Made me proud to be an American. "I'm here, I'll be here". Words to live by.
Also, forrest, has anyone ever told you that you sound exactly like Corey Feldman? I always know when it's you calling because of your voice.
-
What can I say? It got brung. A+
-
It was a great show. First one I've ever listened to in real time. I was going to call, but I chickened out (it wasn't me who got GOMP'ed but a Rutgers student who shares my last name - I haven't set foot in the court Tavern since 1995 or so). I thought of a take it (soy milk) and leave it (the New Yorker's Shouts & Murmurs, except for the ones by Jack Handey) but I wasn't fast enough.
Glad the kid is back, though.
And were people in the chat really mad at Ted Leo? Why? Did he say something supportive of the Iraq War and I just zoned out for a second?
-
Yeah, Teddy Rockstar was declaring his trust in the President's decision to stay in Iraq. Which is only right and respectful. People were probably just projecting their anger over the fact that the limo minibar was out of little umbrellas for their girl drinks.

I meant first name. (!)

Damnation! My son had the computer all night to write a paper, and when I gave it up to him early in the proceedings Tom was on a different topic. I was already for "things you should know about but don't" and he threw some "take it or leave it" thing at me. A couple more bonehead moves like that, and I will be another wounded ex-supercaller lying on the side of the road. I can't wait to waste the entire workday shirking my responsibilities and listening to the archives, though.

I wanted to take roller boogie and leave strip cardio -- especially the advanced pole dancing class, "Turning Tricks." NOT COOL.
-
Strip cardio?!? You could sell tickets.

I get the feeling that ONLY in Miami do people even have this particular choice.
Am I wrong?

Yes! You are.
Crunch Gym has stiletto workouts (great for the calves), a class with a Dominatrix trainer that will whip you into shape, pole dancing, and advanced strip cardio (turning tricks). They also have "Abs'solutely Hysterical," an ab-sculpting class taught by a comedian, dodgeball, spinning classes where you "ride" the movies, and all sorts of crap like that. In New York, the Pontani Sisters teach Go Go Robics. I have their workout DVDs -- lots of fun, and a good, sweaty workout. I do the workout in my I. Miller go go boots.
Crunch is in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and a couple other places I think.

Actually, I was going to say, "that depends on who's in the class" but then I remembered the Internet taught me that there is nothing so strange, and no one so ugly, that SOMEONE doesn't want to see it/them. So I retract my thought.

Word.
I stand corrected!

I wish you hadn't been, TL. It would comfort me to know all this was limited to place.
Lately, I've been annoyed by all people who exercise just for the sake of exercise. I know this is unreasonable, but I've been seeing too many smug turisti jogging past my window this summer. The thought of this same crew gyrating and contorting self-consciously to stripper music makes me want to kill myself.
-
I believe that Carmen Electra has some sort of stripping workout video. Or the Pussycat Dolls.
Sarah, what do you mean by people who exercise just for the sake of exercise? I don't think most people exercise because that love it, but they think they should.
-
hey I'm all for being healthy and stuff, but this whole shift away from substance and towards surface really burns me up. At least I know this: in 50 years, all those gym rats bodies are gonna be lumpy, broken sacks of crap, just like everyone else's. There's this gym in NYC that was started by this douche David Barton, who used to have the slogan "Look Better Naked", which was totally annoying.
So if I spend 15 hours a week in the gym, I too can become a tasty treat to succubi?

What about John Basedow? Fitness made simple! He's gonna show you how!

I think he's showing me a little too much in that pic.

Okay, let me see if I can explain what I mean here. I'm talking about people who never do a lick of manual labor, never break a sweat except by choice (exaggeration, I know, but keep in mind this is all heat-of-the-moment stuff fueled by my hatred of the summertime invaders), blessed with enough leisure and wealth that they can spend a significant amount of time and money shedding fat and building muscle just so they look good--all, of course, to the accompaniment of whatever is piping into their ears from the iPods carefully clipped to their waistbands--but who will drive two blocks to go to a store rather than using their feet to propel them, who will hire locals--for pittances--to do all the heavier work maintaining their properties (except of course for fun stuff like chainsawing trees and such), who whine because to eat healthily around here they actually have to cook their own food rather than popping over to some restaurant or takeout joint that will meet all their myriad dietary requirements, who would rather use a gym to stay trim than do even a speck of the rougher stuff of daily life that burns calories just as effectively and more constructively.
Again, I know I'm being unfair. My excuse is that it's late August, and it's time for Lubec to belong to the Lubeckers again.

I've said this before: John Basedow's face does not match his body. It's unsettling.

I was at a roulette table at Foxwoods and this dude was totally there with (I think) his mom. When ever he'd hit, he'd blurt out the most intense "Yes!". It was kinda scary.

I exercise once a month and that's usually because (a) I'm depressed and want to shake it off, (b) I have a liquor-induced hangover and want to sweat it out, or (c) I hate my body and want to like it again and am under the weird notion that working out this one time will make that happen (actually it usually works for that day). I always say I will work out more regularly when I'm working out that one day, but then the next day comes and instead of working out I'll bum a Parliament from someone.
