Also - I too did the squaredancing back in grade school in Chicago. None of the guys could understand why I wanted to dance with Rachel H…but I knew.

Helo: “Back down! You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry… HELO SMASH!”

Re: Head characters, in (I think) his latest podcast, RDM said something to the effect of “Baltar’s Head Baltar will ultimately make sense in the mythology of the show,” and I think he may have gone so far to use the word “explanation” in reference to the Head characters. So while I think Sean’s idea that the Head characters could go unexplained is cool, I suspect we’ll get some sort of answer.

And, that said, I’d be totally ambivalent if they didn’t explain them. I want an explanation, but I think I’d enjoy the ongoing mystery on some levels.

I have to say it was really weird to hear my own voice on the Podcast…

Also wanted to mention that the GWC crew seemed to think that Mathias was some random redshirt that we’d never seen before - guess they haven’t read the Sgt. Erin Mathias RIP thread huh? LOL But even besides that we’d seen her several times before this episode. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yay two hours of listenignw oto

#25

Well, yeah you could do that way. But here’s a much cooler way.

  1. Take out last week’s Podcast and put it on the table.
  2. Shoot it in the head.
  3. A new podcast will downloaded into a tub of goo.
  4. Before removing from goo, hold the new podcast’s hand and tell it that you love it. It will at first be feeling very disoriented from the resurrection.
  5. Remove from goo and towel it off.
  6. Listen and enjoy.

I said Nobody put Helo in a corner ugh…it was one of those calls

#27

Thanks to everybody for the tech advice! I’m so excited to have a 2-hr long podcast–I always try to work out as long as the podcast runs, so longer shows=a healthier Kappa. :wink:

#28

Huh. Now THAT’s a good idea. I try to eat Cheetos for the duration of the podcast. No wonder my cholesterol is so high. I like your way better. :smiley:

#29

I usually take a walk in the woods listening to the podcast on my iPod. And sometimes Audra says something so funny that I walk into a tree.

On a trip to Weimar in 12th grade, I actually walked into a lamppost while walking and reading a map…

#31

Is that a Lego E-Web in the background?

OK, I’m still in the middle of listening to the podcast (secretly), but here’s what I found on Webster Online Dictionary:-

Main Entry: skeevy
Part of Speech: adj
Definition: disgusting or distasteful; nasty, sleazy
Example: Some say Wal-mart and other big box stores are skeevy operations.

Etymology: from Italian schifo ‘disgust’
Usage: US

And this from Urban Dictionary:-

skeevy
Shifty, sleazy, creepy, dirty, dodgy, nasty.

1)“Have you seen Britney Spears’ latest husband? Ugh, he’s so skeevy. How could she BREED with someone like that?”
2)“Eeeew, look at that skeevy guy over there with the white plastic shoes. Oh my God, is his hair slicked back with VASELINE? I can almost smell the Brut from here.”
3)“Of course there’s no guarantee. He bought the thing from some skeevy dude in an alley.”

Nobody put Helo in a corner
onomonpedia with a quarter

To-may-to
To-mah-to :smiley:

It’s all good Emily :wink:

#34

So I assume this is what Pike looked like after eating a bit of Helo knuckle sandwich:

#35

I kept getting wierd looks from my roommate because I kept bursting out into laughter during the podcast. Thanks guys. I needed the levity to break up finals week, and you guys brought it.

#36

[spoiler]Yes![/spoiler]

And I realize this isn’t necessarily the thread for this kind of post, but how many folks out there would luuuuuvvvvv to see an “Iron Man Vs. Hulk” movie? Now that would almost be as cool as “Helo Vs. the Hulk”. Discuss.

Robert Downey JR vs Edward Norton?
Iron Man vs Hulk?

I’m game!:cool:

Aww. If I were a six year old at that convention, I’d give R2D2 a big hug too!

Tip: Try not to work out with yoga. Two hour yoga makes you limp as a noodle. I lost track of time once. :rolleyes:

#37

Beep beep. (Try again)

#38

Awesome, hilarious 'cast as usual. I really have to learn not to drink anything when listening, though–just barely averted doing a spit-take all over the treadmill console.

#39

My head totally went there, too! You rock!

BTW, I get the feeling the Pike character is a red-shirt red herring.

Are they trying to fake us out with spirit fingers on one hand while the other picks our pockets?

Mathias. Gunny. I will miss her. She was cool. :frowning:

Ah yes, indeed. You know, I had hope for our boy Gaius until that little speech, which really just freaked me out. Perhaps I read too much Christian theology into it (I’m sure Norman Doering will complain about that) but the whole notion of God only loving that which is perfect seemed rather off putting and simply wrong. (BTW, thanks, MikeP, for providing the label for antinomianism. I did not know such a doctrine had a name.) The echo for me was the passage in the gospels (I forget which. John?) in which Jesus exhorts his followers to BE perfect as God the Father is perfect. I (and traditional Christian theology) always took this as an exhortation to seek to be like God and aim to be all-loving and compassionate. What Baltar seems to be espousing is a distortion like what Mike mentions above and reminds ME of Ayn Rand’s philosophy (I suddenly drew a blank on what it’s called. Objectivism?), which strikes me as one of the most disgusting, ugliest, most narcissistic systems of thought ever devised by human minds.

Great podcast, guys. It made my journey from Clinton to Wilkes Barre, PA that much more enjoyable. Wish I’d had two more hours of it after that!
