Kiba, I'm sorry but I missed what you're going to be studying
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The word "just" is so horrid, ChiKat. That's so hard.
Podcasts: I just started listening to Compulsory - a podcast about people who make stuff. it's about the right length. spilled milk is a shortish & non- serious food podcast I enjoy.
What I've noticed is that often podcasts are shorter at first and then gradually get longer.
It was horrible. On several levels.
I highly recommend the BBC Friday Night Comedy Podcast, which is British political/news-based comedy. The podcast rotates between two BBC Radio 4 shows: The News Quiz, which fills the same evolutionary role as Wait Wait, hosted by the incomparable Sandi Toksvig; and The Now Show, which is sketch satirical comedy, hosted by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. I often gasp at the pointedness of the humor. It helps to know a bit about British current events, but reading the Guardian occasionally should do you; even without that, you should be able to get what's going on.
Oh, ChiKat. Oh my.
Huh. So "Friends" is the origin of BFF?
Thank you, Netflix. I think.
Oh, Chikat. So hard.
A friend insisted on knowing "what was up with me" this afternoon, and wouldn't accept "I lost a friend." Do I know him? Or her? Is she local? Where do you know her from?
Guys, I had to explain ita. And yes, the board, which is hard but doable. But ita, NSM.
Kat, and helpful others, I was looking at the top of the page here, where the quote is. I see no link or button there. Nor is there one in the sidebar, just Buf links and Buf filk, plus the FAQ, how-to, etiquette, map (which works now, thanks!), about, and admins. Which, you know, I can find the dive, it's just she said button, and there's no button--reportage, not complaint.
We listen to a lot of comedy and/or political podcasts:
Smartest Man in the World (Greg Proops)
The Bugle (John Oliver)
Mike and Tom Eat Snacks (Michael Ian Black and Tom Cavanagh--HILARIOUS)
On The Media (PBS)
Professor Blastoff (Tig Notaro, Kyle Dunnigan--THE BEST)
WTF (Marc Maron)
Judge John Hodgman
Dana Gould's Podcast
I keep remembering ita reporting in along her drive from Michigan to LA. One of the highlight stops was the accursed Precious Moments headquarters and museum. She took pictures and made us look at them of the hideous PM fountain in front of the place! So mean. So ita.
