I have a podcast called Almost Plausible where a couple of friends and I take an ordinary object and create a movie plot based on that object.

Fox never gave it a fair shake. It premiered in a time slot where TV shows go to die, and they aired episodes out of order. The pilot episode, which sets up basically everything wasn’t the first episode aired. Damn shame.

Well that sure takes me back.

Edit my podcast.

Now that’s a username!

I recently visited my city’s wastewater treatment plant for a tour. This was taken from the top of one of the giant digesters that process solids.

Also, a plane gliding to a landing still needs a pretty large, clear area to touchdown and come to a stop safely. Helicopters landing using autorotation need far less space.

I played Munchkin once and hated it. The barrier to entry on that game is way too high.

“Gluteal orthotic device”

I have a podcast called Almost Plausible that I make with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object (like a pillow, or a zipper, or a ceiling fan) and we create a movie plot based on that object.

We’ve been doing the show for nearly 4 years now. It’s fun to make, but it takes up a fair amount of my time. For me, a “reward” would just be more listeners. That would feel very validating.

I’m guessing these are the same guys that don’t wipe their own butts after they poop because they think touching a man’s butt is gay.

Heist (2001)

I like all of Mamet’s films, but Heist is head and shoulders above the rest, IMO. Besides being a well written heist film with a great cast, it rewards rewatching. I’ve watched it so many times, but the last time I watched it, I caught a new detail I hadn’t noticed before.

Hopefully they actually use the pool and don’t end up getting sucked into something on TV.

Definitely a fun moment.

Jennifer Coolidge. She plays the same character in everything she’s in, and it’s a character I don’t find funny at all.

Which moment in Dragnet?

I definitely don’t have as much time as I’d like.

I still remember one of the questions on my written driving test from almost 30 years ago. It was something like:

A group of pedestrians start crossing the road in front of you, just as the light turns green for you. What do you do?

• Honk your horn and yell at them.
• Nothing, just wait for them to finishing crossing.
• Rev your engine to scare them into crossing faster.
• Hit one to teach the rest a lesson.

I was so tempted to pick the last option.

Where my fellow Spokane peeps?

It’s quite a bad movie, but it did inspire the creation of my podcast, so I don’t hate it.
