wikipedia on one of the maids
Anna is the third girl hired by Yoshitaka.She's bisexual and constantly tries to do perverted acts with Izumi, who is mostly disgusted by her lesbianism. She was originally attracted to Yoshitaka, but because of Izumi's relentless effort convincing her to stay away from Yoshitaka, she mistook it as sign of interest, thus she fell in love with Izumi and became Yoshitaka's maid in order to follow Izumi. She even dreams of traveling to the Netherlands to arrange a same-sex marriage, going far as to study the language. She is discouraged later in the episode, finding out that being under 16, they cannot be married(yet). Her inability to cook is the subject of many jokes in the story. She was originally going to be the "innocent" member of the group, but her personality reverted to that of Yoshitaka's. The authors describe her as the "Yuri supplier of the group".[cite this quote] Anna might be even more perverted than Yoshikata: While Yoshikata tapes Izumi illegally and dresses her in suggestive and sexy outfits, Anna has once hugged on Izumi while she was totally naked.
:lol

Who's Eric?
Eric P?
Yeah, I remember that dude who just stopped posting. Just another one caught in the great '09 bore boycott. smh

Thanks for reading my terrible excuse for a limerick. I think you guys could tell I was having trouble with the second half of it.
Though, if you can believe it, the first draft was even worse. It had the line, 'buggering beelzebub's buttcrack', in it.
Hopefully, this would spur some more people to enter the competition, where something half decent would win it. For the good of English poesy, stop me from winning the competition!
Though as a runners up prize, you know those cock pics make sense, don't you? :shh
-
:(
I don't hate anyone... and yeah, it's an amazing movie, I know... :lol
Tell me where to send the prize package and I'll make up for it.

:elephant Boresquad getting mentioned :elephant
I laughed hard at doug's "My monocle would have popped off my face" during Kev's mention of the portrayal of Harry Knowles in Fanboys :lol
The Nate Silver comment reminded me of a book that I have called "What's the matter with Kansas?" by Thomas Frank. It examines the modern phenomenon of midwestern states voting Republican (even though they historically were Democratic), even though their policies are structured to work against them and more in favor of the wealthier populace.

big news coming on the next show
not earth-shattering news, but addressing one of the complaints we've had
-
One time on 4chan I once read someone refer to Detective Comics as "Dyketective Comics" I was rolling.
I'm very immature. And Renee and Kate used to date but they are no longer together.
-
The podcast keeps getting better and better. The chemistry between you guys is growing as well. As I mentioned recently, I think the podcast works bests when you guys have guests. The two man format is still very well done, however.
-
I wanna guest so I can grace everyone with my amazing taste in movies and games. ;)
-
I wanna know who she picked. :/
