Stupid Hope - [Etcetera]

Here's a picture of a blue box. It's not a copyrighted picture.

Here's this week's Etcetera. It's not copyrighted either. Feel free to take it, listen to it, remix it, make a paper hat out of it...whatever you want. You can even claim that it's your show and sell it to your friends. In fact, do that.

Movies By The Numbers - [Matthew]

So Jim Carrey’s movie 23 opened this weekend. And soon we’ll have 300 (aka My Big Fat Greek Massacre).

It got me thinking about other films with numeric names. Here's the list I came up with:

10
Seven
61*
1942
2001

So, consider the gauntlet thrown... can you think of any other films with numbers for the name?

As a second challenge, maybe we could list movies with numbers as part of the title, e.g. 2 Days In The Valley, One Million B.C., etc.

Teh Suck - [Etcetera]

I can barely bring myself to type this, but here it goes...we have to cancel the show again this week.

I'm still sick, it's my daughter Madeline's birthday tonight (she has strep), Sharon is sick now (and sounds terrible), there are some technical issues we're working through, you get the picture. [/excuses]

Sorry about this guys. We hate to miss two in a row, but we will see you next week.

Mini-Me in South Africa - [F'ing Andrew]

Thursday February 8, 2007
Dateline: Johannesburg

The little guy hitched a ride with my girlfriend Holly, her family and me to the rhino and lion park near town. We drove our car quite close to lions, ostriches, wild dogs, warthogs and other wild beasts. After lunch we walked over to a set of pens where for a few dollars you can spend five minutes with a handler petting cubs being raised for various reserves and zoos. There were cheetah, tigers and lions. I pulled out the camera when Mini-Me started gathering his courage to face both year-old lion cubs up close.





He survived by not making any sudden movements.






He may have gathered their trust but it was a crushing blow when the guide informed us that no amount of training would allow him to saddle and ride these cats. He and Mini Mr. Bigglesworth will have to find another steed for their adventures.

Seen This? - [Gordo]

This is so moving. Isn't it amazing what happens when you change the context?

Touch Me I'm Sick - [Erik]

I have to bail on Etcetera tonight. Sorry about that. I'm sick. I could probably make it through if it weren't for the cough.

We'll try to record a show later this week if we can squeeze it in. I'll let you know.
