GWC Podcast #143

I’m almost done with this podcast, and I have to say I haven’t laughed this much in a long time. It’s been a rough month so thanks for that. And mucho thanks to Audra for singing “Spider-Skank, Spider-Skank!” Making the jump from Ellen Tigh to that chick from Space Mutiny is admirable indeed.

If so, I wonder if he has any clue what the frak we’re talking about. What with all the pantslessness, sorryBarb’s, w**dn shps, Larry, Backyard BBQ 8–could the uninitiated understand us?

I will say that it takes some effort, since I only understand 2 of the 5 things you mentioned. But I’ll keep my eyes and ears open, and trust that all will be explained in time. :wink:

Edit: Sorry, I meant to say Tory instead of Ellen. I actually liked Ellen.

Welcome NCTibby!

Pantslessness has something to do with participating in frak parties, live calls, etc. by taking off one’s pants and celebrating “la revolucion.” I have no idea how it started.

SorryBarb comes from a while back when Barb from San Diego (bkitty) listened to GWC casts on the speakers while she was at work driving a school bus. A couple of times we dropped the word “@ss” and she laughed because she had to stop playing it in front of the kids. So after that we’d apologize to Barb for a curse word, though she’s not at all bothered by it herself, and eventually replaced the curse word with the edit (sorrybarb). (Sorrybarb) could mean @ss or also any other deleted expletive.

Wooden ship is just a joke about a conversation we had on a cast that became so convoluted and difficult to follow we promised to never bring it up again. Back when Adama smashed the model ship Chuck had a theory about people using real sea ships to travel in the past. Alas, it descended into wooden ship hades, so it (jokingly) became a taboo subject.

Larry is the name we lovingly gave to the old-style centurion that fought with young Wiliam Adama (“Husker”) in one set of webisodes perhaps a year ago. Larry the cylon has his own backstory, a few video blog entries, and such in his own thread, Larry’s World. Basically the concept is that Larry is just a regular cy-guy who got unfairly beaten to death by Adama with the pipe. He was just in the wrong place, falling out of the sky at the wrong time.

And Backyard BBQ 8 or BYBBQ8 is the GWC name for the “Sweet 8” creepy, murdering Sharon on the raptor with Gaeta in the most recent webisodes. She gets her name from her ruffly little picnic-like outfit and long hair.

There. Nuff’ said! And welcome to GWC!

Perhaps we should start a GWC primer?

NCTibby should be alerted to a few shortcuts that are taken on occasion:

OGG - Old Goo Guy - hybrid in Razor

GGG - Gorgeous Goo Girl(s) - hybrid(s) on “current” baseships

A couple she probably already knows:

FC - final cylon

FF - final five

S7 - 7 models of Cylons

A few more obscure ones:

OE - Our (human) Earth

CE - Cylon Earth (the one just found, which some believe is also OE)

The Big Three (as in Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin at the Yalta Conference) - Audra, Chuck and Sean

The FAQ has some of this, but it needs to be updated I think.

Thanks so much for the info, guys! And Backyard BBQ 8 might be my favorite of all the anagrams. Those Crazy 8’s do have good fashion sense, at least.
