Commentary by the Urkelnator

Hey Mike- With your "eventualy get on the show" reference you make it sound like Mark and Phil are the Johnny Carsons and Ed McMahons of Podcastland (hay ooooo!). Rumor has it that it's not that hard to get a sound bite on the show; just try folding a few hands when you're heads up against with either one of them. Oh wait. You do that all ready (hay oooo!). I noticed Phil made a refernce to you being "busted." So I was wondering what you were smoking when you were rambling on about "late last night around 3:00 in the morning?" To be frank with you, I found it seriously funny (that's an oxymoron). But if your going to attempt to quote Steve Martin at least get it right. I believe what Mr. Martin was trying to say on his comedy album, A Wild and Crazy Guy, was "I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early mid-afternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . But never at dusk. Never at dusk." I'll let you off the full-dork pedistal for now. Urkelnator votes 1/2 dork. I think you care about your peers' opinions (some of the time). If you need clairifcation of what a 1/2 dork is I think Mark can look it up one of his Dungeons and Dragons books. Lastly, you mentioned "sitting and thinking about hands for so long" which got me pondering dreams of years gone by where Laura actually said yes to one of my wedding proposals (for those of you who did not get that, it's a refernce to the TV show Family Matters). By the way, did you know that dreaming about your hands has many meanings? To dream that your hands are injured, denotes an attack on your ego. To dream that your hands are all covered with hair like that of a beast, signifies your lack of gentleness in dealing with others. I personally think you most have been dreaming about blood on your hands right before you wrote for forgiveness after you made it sound like you and Phil were better poker players then us. Dreaming about blood on you hands signifies that you are experiencing some sort of guilt (hay ooooo). The Urkelnator.
