I love when Tom recounts Keith's ridiculous scheme, and his response is, "You know, hearing it back from you just now...only confirms what I thought. It is foolproof!"

Many JW characters have very poor impulse control coupled with a bad case of selective hearing. It's like spotting a car 15 seconds before it's going to crash into a wall.
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

Thanks for this one, Martin. It's one of my favorites. Chock-full of memorable Wurster lines like "It's my main rock rod."

You know what would be awesome? If FoT contributors came together and made a comic book starring Tom and many of Wurster's bizarre characters. Comic book style fan-fiction. Is this idea awesome enough for its own thread?

I gotta say...I almost gave up on this week's BSG about 20 minutes in. It gets pretty tedious, but the payoff is HUGE. Like 'almost had to pull over during rush hour' huge.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Willis showed up at the studio the following week and terrorized callers live on the air.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

That is on one of the 'lost' Best Shows from the mid fiscal year pledge drive, no?  That was great!  Poor Bruce.
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

I don't think so - it's in the archives: http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=7193&archive=7005

Or you could hold out for two weeks and see what Gem comes next!

I really want to know where JW was when he made that final call. Unless he was in the most remote location possible, there must've been some really freaked out neighbors/passersby.
