Words is hard

The podcasts continue! Now at four, or two of the "new" 'casts, the third next week will break the old record for continuation. This one has two medium rants, and a rant about a book. It's a good book, and you should read it. Turn off the t.v. and get to it.

I haven't read anything more about the Quran-burner in Florida, but I hope he decided not to do it. Fighting stupidity with stupidity doesn't work, and burning a religion's holy book in the hope of hurting people who don't give a shit about it (the terrorists) is really stupid. Shouldn't we be burning Bibles for all the fucked-up things crazy people have done "for" Christianity?

Applejacks will continue, but later. Goodly James Morey has agreed to come onboard as artist, and I have sent him the next three scripts. AJ will likely be put up on a new site, one dedicated just to the comic.

I hope you enjoy the podcast, and tell your friends if you do. Making this into something sustainable would be so awesome I feared to actually put it into words.

Things take a turn for the worse. Will Applejacks succumb to his thirst for pie, and destroy this poor farm family? Find out next week, with three new updates and a new podcast!

Third one goes up tomorrow.

Uncle Ben Must Die!

The podcast has returned! It's short tonight, but there are more to come, probably on a weekly, or twice weekly basis. I hope it has not been too long, and that you enjoy the show.

Also, because I promised, here is the first comic I did about Applejacks. The project is on hold right now until I hear back from James. He is a much better drawer than I am, but hey! look at that adorable sonofabitch! You can click to enlarge, and use the zoom (cntrl + +-sign) because if I make it too big it doesn't fit.

As I said in the newest post, the Uncle Ben 'cast was replaced by the new one because I failed to notice I had named the new one the same as this one; you'd think I'd have noticed "New podcast" as already there, but I is dumb. Dumb as hell. I'll try to find the old file and put it back up.

They is a coming

So, some stuff is missing. Particularly the stuff I didn't like, that I put little work into, and that seemed less funny as time went on. It's gone, adios, screw it, goodbye.

But new things are coming! Well, new old things. Like the podcasts. Like listening to music? It's back! Like rants? Maybe? Okay! We'll have some of those too. By next Friday I will put up the new episode, and a special surprise. Well, it's not really a surprise, being in the description, but it is new! And I hope you like it.

It involves aminals.

Not Today, Satan!

I talk about evil tonight, and lay out the first two Imperial Decrees for the Citizens of Ohio.

I want to clarify a few things in the post that I talk about in the podcast. First, let me say sorry for rushing this one through and not spiffing it up as much as I should have; but also, let me say bowling rocks, and that was what I was doing instead of my work. I'm sure my fellow Dudeists will agree that, given the calming effects of bowling and drinking, I made the right choice. And I can abide by that.

The first Decree is about Twilight, and it is: Twilight, the novel and series of novels after it, is not, never has been, and shall not in the future be considered a work of fiction regarding Vampires. It is a teen drama/romance, following in the steps of Dawson's Creek, and other WB shows. Vampire nerds can be relieved, and tweens can go about their angsty business, with no further unpleasantness.

Secondly, about gay marriage. This is the more confusing bit, I think, so, for clarity, gay marriage is now legal and totally cool in the Empire of Ohio. I ranted for a while about it in the podcast, and still am not sure the whole point was made, so:

1.Politics and the Bible do not mix. Do not try to mix them, particularly if you call upon the Older parts of the Bible. It was written for an ancient civilization, and aside from a few moral imperatives, does not apply to modern day life. The philosophic lessons in it may still be studied and used, but don't think that, because said civilization needed an army and a steady economy to conquer and flourish, homosexuality still exists under the same ban.
2.If the religious argument is your main weapon, your argument doesn't work.
3.If, after exhausting the religious, you turn to false studies and corrupt data, you are no longer allowed to talk.
4.Gays are now allowed to kick the straights exactly ONCE, in the ass, and call them meatgazers.

That's it. I hope to see a lot more marriages over the weekend, and if anyone gives you shit, remind them of the Empire's decision. Have a good weekend!

Late facts: I'm running out of space fast online to store these podcasts. As is, I can put three more up. Any suggestions on free storage space, or other ways to keep putting them up, would be hella appreciated. And sodomy is the word of the day.

Unlimited Power!

It's my very first podcast, and I'm excited. As I say in the show, the next one will be Friday, and then every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after that.

I'll still be updating the blog, but to a lesser extent, dependent on what neat things I find.

I really, really enjoyed doing this. I've got a smile on my face right now so big, you wouldn't believe it. I mean what I say in the podcast; go, and make your own awesome stuff. I, at least, will listen/read/digest it.

Making the podcast itself was enough work, but I also had to learn to use the recording system. There's still a lot of editing stuff I can learn and use to make these better, and as time goes on I hope you see a real improvement in quality. The recorder I use, for those interested, is Audacity. It's easily looked up on Google, free to download, and has a wiki page explaining how to set up a quick show. Music I got from music alley, a service courtesy of Mevio.com, who will be mentioned in each cast at some point. Please, go buy some of these songs if you can; a lot of the people uploading their work are talented artists trying to get paid for what they love. I think everyone would get paid to do what they love if they could.

That's enough for now. Goodnight!
