Shame on all of you for neglecting the show's finest hour (and thirteen minutes).

Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but this is easily the most excited I've been for any episode of the podcast. Sass Girls X is an absolute treasure. Still kicking myself for not buying it when it was "only" 50 bucks. To think I thought the price would come down...  KirbyKhan posted:I want to get the "audiobook" so bad. So, so bad. Disclaimer: The reading itself is all but buried in TF2 noise, on top of being recorded through a cheap gaming headset. I think it adds to the charm, though.

THERE ARE BOOKS THAT ARE GOOD! GOOD BOOKS! THERE ARE BOOKS THAT ARE BAD! gently caress YOU, DAD! Probably my favorite episode since the last one Lemon was on. I nearly fell off my bike during Chris's reading. Also, good to know that someone is still fighting the good fight against knowledge gluttons. But Christ - I'll let "nitch" slide because that's bewilderingly commonplace, but "toosled"? Really? At least it isn't "pos-thoomous". and i'm not a metalhead but jw was amazingly incoherently wrong about that award, why wouldn't he listen to chris Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Aug 8, 2016 |

Alaois posted:...there are two? I got the album when it came out and loved it (still do), didn't know anything about a book, then saw the book at Barnes & Noble one day. The "Kevin J. Anderson" on the cover was a major red flag, and the story was hardly a point in the album's favor anyway, but even then I wasn't prepared for how cripplingly dull to read the pages I skimmed were. I don't know why Neil Peart got such a hack to put the book together for him, because he's actually a pretty good writer (if you like bike and motorcycle travelogues). ed: I'm not too far into the episode yet, but I'm not looking forward to an hour and a half of auditory mosquito bites every time they say "purt". ed 2: Forgot how bad they also are at pronouncing words that aren't surnames.

I almost had an entry for that, but I couldn't decide between the premises I had, and then a bunch of stuff came up that kept me from just sitting down and writing. Good to know that this is only the "first" contest and that I'll likely have another chance next year. My favorite has to be the one with the guy (?) watching from a doorway as a couple (??) have sex (???). To be so vivid and incomprehensible at once, on purpose, is the mark of some kind of genius.

Oh, it looks like the characters on the show had a special British way of saying it, and that's what he was doing. Which is weird, given his rant about "aluminium" in this same episode.

I'm not sure I want to listen to them talk about Rush for an entire show, but I love them for naming it after the most underrated Rush instrumental.

This was a good one. Since the book had basically no substance to speak of, the conversation was a lot more free-flowing and causal. It almost felt like a very laid-back Flop House episode. Looking forward to the NaNoWriMo music and to maybe someday eventually finding out just what happened to JW at Chuck E. Cheese's.

To be honest, I think it doesn't reflect well on their opinion of gay people if they expect them to melt away and die like the Wicked Witch if so much as a drop of The Wrong F Word meets their ears. Any time something "uncomfortable" comes up, it's like they think they're taking care of the boy in the bubble or something. It's just patronizing; if I were gay, I'd feel genuinely insulted.

Lonos Oboe posted:WHM made the same mistake this month with their patreon listener request stuff. They were stuck doing a bunch of horrible films they would never do in a million years and they really struggled. That show is kind of like The Flop House in that the harder it is for them to stay focused on a movie, the easier it is for them to spin off into lovably ridiculous tangents like sperm heists and fat spies.

Man, that Ready Player One letter and the responses were sheer pain. How can people be so smug about being so awkward and unpleasant? Someone told my friend to read a bad book. I want to tell him it's bad, but this other person my friend knows might somehow take it personally. Then again, my friend will probably like the bad book anyway, being a straight, white male... "If you're afraid to say that it's bad, just let him read the book and recommend something you like?" "No, you should tactfully tell him it's bad. Just tell him that if he reads it and likes it, you'll think less of him as a person because the book is bad and the people who like it are bad too." "Yeah, that's fair." It was at this point or so that I had to stop listening.

WampaLord posted:I just found/discovered this and I'm really enjoying it. I've listened to only episode about books I've actually read so far (Timeline, Left Behind, DaVinci Code) which other episodes are top recommendations, even if you haven't read the book? Edit: Aw hell, I have to recommmend some of my other favorites too. Flowers in the Attic (deeply icky Gothic horror-melodrama) List of the Lost (novel by Morrissey that is as pompous as it is short) Sass Girls X (batshit self-published masturbation session) Level 26: Dark Origins (loving hardcore man, can you handle it?) And a special bonus episode of entries in a bad writing contest they held to celebrate NaNoWriMo. Sham bam bamina! fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Jul 25, 2017 |

Oh, come on. All the others are in jeans and sneakers and have big childish smiles on their faces, while she has a much more adult wardrobe and expression. It's bizarre how much she sticks out from the rest, and even if "sexy" was too strong a word for it, she sticks out in ways that seem to show a different mindset from the others. Maybe I was wrong to bring it up, and I don't think that the artist is actually a creep, but I did get a real, unpleasant impression from it.

fatherboxx posted:They dramatically read a paragraph from it where Rush Revere's jaw drops when that girl enters the scene "Rush Limbaugh is really into the creation of Elizabeth; there's no way of hiding that fact. We know what gets Rush Limbaugh off at the end of this." "Rarely is it a good sign in a book when a high-school teacher - or, in this case, a middle-school teacher - looks at a cheerleader and says, 'My jaw dropped.' " "Yeah, that's a little frightening. The American Beauty reference earlier was spot-on."
