Yeah the cosplaying is really not the lead here. It's Troper Tales.

That one needed to be rejiggered. Lemon and I hosed up the attribution in the end bumper. It will be back.

I love these episodes where there's a little chunk where they get distracted and just make fun of eachother for a sec.

Isfahan doing a deadpan version of Portaxx's "rar rar rar" when he was reading Dragon was terrific.

Before long we're going to reach the singularity, at which point episodes will be comprised of nothing but callbacks to previous episodes.

I think the best callback in recent memory is "My name is Sectetary!" which is just a wonderful line presented in a wonderful fashion.

CERTIFIED FRESH AS HELL DOC MAKER

New episode is up.

Seems to be about "wanderpunks" which sounds like a fancy way to say homeless people, probably mostly about truckstop blowjobs though.

edit: now that I've listened to the episode, how do some of these people actually get access to the internet and post this? Are they just pretending they live in an abandoned trailer with a bunch of heroin addicts? Is this mostly roleplay/make-believe bullshit written by bored people?

Homeless punks can still get internet access in a bunch of ways. Haven't listened to the episode but it really doesn't sound that unreasonable (though I'm sure there are fakers too).

I don't think it really matters if it is real or not. If its real, then sure whatever, gotta do what you gotta do to survive, right? If its fake, then that's pretty special and requires some kinda amazingly broken mentality to actively want to play pretend at being homeless for internet cred.

On a completely more positive note that thing Lemon quoted at the start works way too well with Aqualung, jeez.

I completely agree with that! I laughed far too hard at the intro just because it worked far, far too well with that song. If anything they should do a parade album with these songs referencing old F+ episodes. I wouldn't be able to give them money fast enough!

I've seen homeless (or at least homeless-looking and smelling) people at the library before, using the computers. That could be how.

It seems like they're the sort of weird internet people who romanticise things that were/are generally kind of awful in reality, as opposed to be actual homeless people out of necessity. I'd bet for every actual crazy homeless person on these sites, there's two or three who just go sleep in empty houses, dig through empty bins, or hitch hike to the next town and back, only to go running back to their parents house to grab their iPhone and go sit in starbucks. Come winter, I bet they'd be straight back somewhere warm and dry as opposed to freezing to death on a bench.

If you're baffled by these people, just look into gutter/crust punks. Some of them are dumb teens that play at being homeless, others are kids that were kicked out of their homes, and they always have a dog on a shoelace leash.

Yeah, I remember one thread that I was following went on a derail about them and painted a rather unflattering picture, but I couldn't turn it up at all when I tried a search. Most of these people are just rich young dorks who either hate their rich old parents or feel guilty about their privileged lifestyles, and they generally talk bigger than they act.

I've seen this before too, and from my experience the homeless look primarily at porn when they're at public computers. Looking back I kind of wonder about my undergrad library's web-filter circa 2002.

As goofy as some of those weddings are, I can't really hate any of them, and it's telling that at the end of the episode the readers had trouble really expressing what they actually found wrong with the concept of a nerdy themed wedding. Looking over the photos, I have to say that it looks like most of the people are having a goddamn good time. Traditional weddings are boring, why not throw some of the nerdy poo poo you like in there?

... Except that Twin Peaks wedding. I love Twin Peaks, but that looked really awkward.

Yeah I didn't feel this episode was as strong because I couldn't really do more than roll my eyes a lot at the stuff being read. These really sound like run of the mill nerds who got lucky in the human connection lottery and it's hard to poo poo on them too hard for doing what they want. The big moral of the episode, as Lemon says, is that if you have an open bar you can do whatever you want with your celebration.

There was also a pleasing lack of cake jokes in the stuff being read, or my mind autoblocked them.
