And just what did you have in mind for your statue?

After simultaneous month-long stretches in 3 of Central America's finest "rehab facilities", Al, Bill, & David are back with another Firefly episode, "Jaynestown". Much singing, some whoring, and a little philosophy. Now on iTUNES and this site. An artist, I tell you, an artist.

Next up: "Dagger of the Mind" from ST-TOS.

Star Trek - Iron Chef Edition! Oh, wait...

Welcome to Al, Bill and David's kitchen. Today's special: Lasagna. Lots of it. Fresh and piping hot! (Hah! Get it? Piping! Cuz the Horta cut all those tunnels that look like pipes! And then there's that plumber's nightmare, right? Plumbers work on pipes, sure, they sure do! And don't silicon-based life forms have pipes instead of... of... oooh. Sorry. Just a moment of weakness there.)

We must have all been pretty hungry this time around. Lasagna, breasts of succulence... What, did I say hungry? Maybe we had something else on our minds. Well, Al did, anyway. Must have been all the rounded bits of silicone hanging about. (And yah, the rest of the gang have tried repeatedly - well, once, anyway - to explain the difference between silicon and silicone to the dear boy, but to be perfectly honest, we prefer thinking about strategically placed bits of silicone surgical enhancements ourselves, and have come to the conclusion that Al may have the correct approach after all: It is in fact better to be happy rather than right.)

So the point of all this is that we finally have an episode to post. Again. Neat. You can download it by using the link on the right, or from the iTunes music store. You have subscribed to us there, right Mom?

Devil in the Dark can be picked up from Amazon.com here:

Star Trek: The Original Series Volume 13 - This Side Of Paradise/The Devil In The Dark

(Excellent! Prepare for cheesy Utz-filled Podception: Two shining examples of Leonard Nimoy doing what he does best! It's almost too much of a good thing! Almost.)

Or of course, you can pick up the complete first season here:

Star Trek: The Original Series - The Complete First Season

Next up: Back for some more cleav... uh, Firefly. Scary hair. Abusive descriptions. Splenetic bible study. Jaynestown.

No Pod I

The pain! Cry for the children! Yes, in response to overwhelming demand from both non-related subscribers, THE DEVIL IN THE DARK. Get your hands off me you damned dirty carbon-based lifeform. Witness the finest Nimoy impersonation of Shatner ever recorded outside of an Ameritrade commercial. Be honest, did you cry? Did you feel that uncomfortable lump in your gullet the size of a tribble nut? Coming this week!

Dirty. I feel dirty.

Finally, all the finagling worked. I got Al and Bill to do a Firefly episode. One of the best, Shindig. How will I get Inara to listen? She seems so far away. She doesn't even know I am alive...........David
PS I am saving up to buy my own ship.

WARNING: DO NOT SCROLL DOWN

Dear Diary,

There is a bad man who sent me a picture of someone I never liked and now I like her less. Now I like him less. Please make him stop.

Al

For those of you that can't resist, HHGG Episode 2 is now available on iTunes.

And for our next trick, either Spock's Brain or some show called Fire's Fly or something like that. Serene Valley?


Dear Zooey, behave or this will be your fate.

David

Good Things™ come to those who wait...

...or something. And what a wait it was. And for what? The five-baller. Just a few quick notes:

We had technical difficulties up the yinyang. I don't know what that means either, but it sure did keep us down for a month.

There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Al was too drunk to turn on the TV, much less speak coherently about what he was watching. Uh, really. It was just some problem because he was using dial-up. And apparently he is sticking by that story.

Intel Macs rock. They just don't like Skype very much. Universal Binary, wherefore art thou?

All the technical problems led us to try something a little different: Separate recordings mixed later rather than one recording of all speakers at the same time. Does it sound any better? (What the heck is happening, supplying useful information rather than fluff! Bad writer, bad!) We wonder... If ones podcast and none listen, does it make a sound?

You can find the episode at your local video store, or order it from Amazon.com using this link:

Where No Man Has Gone Before/The Corbomite Maneuver

(Holy Testicle Tuesday! Where No Man Has Gone Before? That's, like, one of the best episodes in the universe! We gotta do that one soon!)

The claim that someone requested Spock's Brain is apparently not only correct, but also serious. In our opinion, seriously flawed, but then who are we to judge. We'll have to consult the cat.

You can find our podcast for the week at the iTunes Music Store, or download it directly here:

The Corbomite Maneuver (mp3)

AB&D

Next up: We return to our origins. Episode 2 of the BBC TV production of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Five Baller is on the loose

What is that sound? The sound of things clicking?

...Live from Dissociative Studios, the next ST-TOS commentary: The Corbomite Maneuver. Nudity, drinking, manequins, degenerate child actors, mental instability....What more could you ask for from a 1966 TV show?

How did this man come to like bears?

Was it the tranya? Or the solitutude?

Uh, Mr. Bailey......Is that you in the bear suit?
