You gave me my first laugh-out-loud of the day! Props.

That wasn’t money or work related, so what the fuck is he complaining about?

Oh my goodness! This is the best! Love it! NPR! What what! You know!

Every time I listen to Wait Wait and hear that “prize” i think of the last time i had a home answering machine - 8 years ago.
Special ordered your book from Secret Headquarters comics in Los Angeles, and they seemed to be the only ones who knew what i was talking about when i tentatively asked “Do you have Fart Party.. uh… it’s a book of comics”. You gotta get in touch with metdown comics http://www.meltcomics.com/ and Family http://www.familylosangeles.com/ and get them to carry it.

Man, you gotta come out to Chicago for the tapings! They edit out so much great stuff from the broadcast. Double entendres are always better when they’re done with Karl Cassel’s gravitas.

You’re not alone, I promise. I e-mail my boyfriend every Web comic I can find making fun of This American Life.
Have you considered calling in and trying to win? Seems like it’s way more manageable a wish than finding someone single, non-crazy and reasonably attractive.

I wish for a fish.

Awww man! I wanna come see a taping of “wait wait don’t tell me”!!!
I love that show. Wow, I thought I was the only one.

Why would he want to date someone who isn’t hung?

Dude you would rock the limerick round!

I had never before thought about how his name looked like when spelled…and didn’t recognize it until I read your comment below. Brain-fart(party).

Does he do voicemail? I always wondered this as I do not have a home phone let alone a home answering machine.

Saw ‘Fart Party’ at Floating World Comics in Portland, Oregon, right by 6th and Burnside NW.
yay!

you guys have NPR, we have Radio 4; I recomend Woman’s hour.
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:55 am
RADIO FOUR RULES
Just a Minute is where it’s at… or I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue… or The News Quiz!

That first guy is broke and jobless, the second chick is gorgeous and vapid, and the third girl is obviously eleven years old.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:22 am
Me too. :3

I have been instructed not to leave life-coaching tips for Julia, so I will instead give advice to Carl Kasell:
I can hear the moistness of your mouth, and it is gross. Perhaps some Gold Bond applied liberally to your salivary glands would solve this?
It’s like you have a mouthful of soggy corn flakes in there…
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Yes! Love that show. Who wouldn’t want to date someone who wants that?

The wait wait podcast was probably the best thing to ever happened to my spare time.
