I love how Hippie with a Djambe sounds so much like Harry Belafonte’s Turn the World Around.

That is Mark Twain’s One Man Show Radio Show. The music from the actual band is not so good.

So on the topic of Flashmobbing a podcast, I think Mark Twain’s One Man Show needs it like no tomorrow. I think the humor works well enough as a crossover for Paul & Storm fans as well, so we should hop on that.

Your comment about “Functioning Geeks” reminds me of my mom’s favorite term for me and my hubby and some of our friends: “High-Functioning Nerds.” We’re into video games (especially MMOs and Rock Band), we played DnD in our day…my hubby is a software engineer, and I’m in theatre…yet we still remain able to act normally in social situations. Hence, High-Functioning Nerds.

TV theme song comment #2: The Big Bang Theory has a great theme song done by the Barenaked Ladies. It’s old school in that it has actual lyrics, but it’s short in keeping with the need for more commercials.

Contest, Other: Um, pottery or sculpture? Cuz that’s what I do. A looong time ago I made a tiny bust of Weird Al out of pink playdo. He still has it.

about the suggestions for the contest, how about a costume contest. There could be a theme or not depending on your mood.

Do a contest for best picture(s) of a minion wearing a Paul & Storm t-shirt in an exotic or weird location.

Okay, time to reveal my secret shame. (One of them, at least.) When I was about 10 or 12 I taped the theme to Green Acres on my cheapo cassette recorder then played it back – repeatedly – at loud volume while walking down the street.

You’re not going to repeal my minion status, are you?

@Roman: Northern Virginia is indeed Fake Virginia! Hodgman confirmed this when he signed my “More Information” with “I’m sorry you do not live in America”. It’s actually quite nice here being, uh, imaginary?

I googled “song fu” and this is what came up as #2.

@ Richard: I like your idea, but lets not turn this into a carrot-top show… can you imagine if there are 8-10 random objects on the stage that they have to fit into their show? It spells disaster.

I second Robin’s description of the difference between geeks and nerds.

What was the Eddie Van Halen reference about?

On a loosely related note…Van Halen rules!

I think “slash fiction” is a great idea and we should start with slashing copies of Dan Brown books. Who’s with me?

Contest: Concert Prop. Who can make the best “prop” for a Paul and Storm show.

Requirements:

1. It must be dropped off on stage moments before the show begins with no forewarning or explanation, and P&S must instantly understand how and when to use it.

2. It must seamlessly integrate into the existing show, enhancing the concert experience for both the performers and the audience.

If these requirements are not met, P&S are under no obligation to use it.

Psych actually extended it's opening sequence from the last season to this one to make more room for the very popular opening theme song. In addition to the previously mentioned Scrubs> and Big Bang Theory, how can you guys forget the band that's still alive in Geek Madness: "Boss Of Me" for Malcolm in the Middle?!

Daniel beat me to the canned bread citation (which I think I’ve linked to before). Canned brown bread with cream cheese is a beautiful thing.

I’m hoping that slash fic is a rhetorical choice, and I’m a little disturbed that it’s currently beating out the T-shirt option. :-S

I have done my Minion duty and written a complimentary, though not overly gushy, review on iTunes. Not one “LOL” in it.

Poll is now fixed; in case you care, the code for it had been placed inside the form code of the donation button. Oops.

also, double commenting to say that show 25 on iTunes actually is show 25, not 24. Hooray!

I believe that the poll in this post is broken, as I cannot vote, and is shows zero votes in all categories…

I was thinking about how awesome it would be for you to run a Paul and Storm song contest. You can see what people really think of you melodically. Isn’t it about time that us minions entertain you for once?

It appears the fix has finally worked; the new podcast plugin has alleviated the problem, and show 27 is now actually show 27. Glory be.

P&S.

ah, Paul… it happen again. Itunes people got the show from last week again. oh the irony of how that show start apologizing for that mistake before.
