   Jeremy in absentia = pwned.

   And I’m with Ant, Wah, and Surnami: Costello should go and fuck himself.

   Oh dear.

   That, “oh for the love of god, TAP!”, in hushed and reverent tones, was a corker. Coffee-meets-keyboard action.

   Guys - I reckon you’re spot on in the podcast about the potential difficulties there are for anyone in moving across to heavily moderated MSM sites.

   I was never favoured with posting privileges at timblair.net (no right of reply on the site was part of the reason it was tough to be targeted by Blair), but I saw that a lot of his users certainly did use it as a “chat-room”, and I think that’s what so many of us enjoy about the blog communities we’re a part of. Very tough when posting is delayed by moderation.

   Anyway nice ‘cast. Do you do them from the pub?

   A bar in Carlton called the Carlton Yacht Club.

   Thanks, Jason. We find that recording in a bar provides a nice atmosphere and gives us handy access to liquid refreshment on tap.

   And sometimes the possibility of a “tap” on tap.

   #Clears throat# As I was saying somewhere else, does anyone else pick up a Johnny Young vibe when the Ed signs off with ‘Goodnight Australia’?

   Frankly, it kinda freaks me out.

   Yeah, good call. You’ve got more chance of finding a pub with good acoustics down there, I reckon.

    Dave, the Editor tried fiddling with us too, insisting that we let him if we want to go far in he blog world.

    Jason a good thing about doing it in the pub is, if you listen early in the podcast, the people laughing in the background sound like they are laughing at us - free audience laughter.

    And you can hear the cash till cling as you all get another round of lubricants.

    …see, if I had friends, and we all met at the pub and discussed politics and blogging and tapping, well, this is what it would sound like.

    …I see.

    Wah - people pay good money for sound effects tapes featuring the tinkle of glasses and convivial laughter. I applaud your thrift.

    God damn it. The week I’m not there, they play the entire Feist album, including Tout Doucement.

    Fuckers.

    If I recall correctly, there was a call-out for funny material found online.

    A reliable source for such material is The Midnight Sun. There is some classic material in this thread:

    it’s my considered opinion (and not only mine) that those in favor of the control of weapons of self defense would rather see a woman lying face down in the mud, having been raped and strangled with her own panty hose, than to see her with a gun in her purse.

    This is good, funny, insane stuff.

    Lucky that’s a considered opinion — otherwise the Colonel might have come across sounding like a complete fucking idiot.
