Is Anyone Else Concerned?

I think the best way to help the The Best Show and shut out the dirtbags who've recently besieged the show is to participate in the audience participation segments Tom brings to the table every week. Calling in just to "check in" can be dull. I'd rather hear callers disagree with Tom and engage him in music or movie geek debate than call just for the sake of calling. Let's keep it lively, people, and remember Best Show Law #3: Know WHY you're calling, BEFORE you call (you'd be surprised how many people I've turned away recently because they weren't prepared--and some of these callers may have been "good guys," but because of the "Jimmys" out there, I've been forced to take a harder stand with callers lately).

The only way to improve is to call.  I tried to call last night even through a haze of cold medicine to at least stoke the fire a little.  Just make plans to call, that's all.  Laurie, you are a great caller by the way.  The show needs more XX-callers too.

Thanks, Fredericks. I was just making plans to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of that post.

You got it Buster.

Periodically, I hop back to old pages.  I couldn't help but revive that old bugger.

Someone buy Fredericks a book.

I actually have a number of books I am currently reading, Barry.  Cinema Nirvana, Media Virus, Rising Up and Rising Down and a book of poetry recently published by a friend of mine (Richard Downing) called Four Steps Off The Path.  

I just have a strange desire to dig back into B.S. history.

What attracts me to the old posts is, I am frequently intrigued by the threads that make up the fabric of the show.

Plus I miss A.M. Thomas' posts.

What's he up to these days?

Abridged, Auntie.  I am a busy man.  I mostly read when riding my exercise bike.

That powers my computer (I wish).

Frix, I think you're one of the few who could read that crazy ass 4 volume version. Someone's got to take it on!
