OK, John from Joliet here to share what was requested of me on the show this week. One problem: I can't start a new thread. I keep getting a screen telling me I either don't have sufficient access privileges or that I'm trying to access administrative features or that my account is disabled or awaiting activation, etc. Is there some sort of firearm-like waiting period before I can start a thread all by my lonesome? Are you running a background check on me? Because if you are, I want you to know that cardboard cut-out of Heather Graham looked very real. Also, it was dark and I was really drunk. Why I was even in that movie theater that time of night is completely irrelevant and quite frankly I'm offended that you'd even bring it up. I still think I got a raw deal. Just because there were penis prints all over the snack case glass doesn't mean I was smacking my junk against it, it could have been anyone. Anyone, damnit!

*ahem*

So, in conclusion, I can post all the stuff in here, but I think it would get more traffic in a thread of its own. Am I being retarded and completely missing something here or am I just not able to start a thread at this early stage of my enrollment?

I need a nap.

yeah you have to have a certain # of posts before you are allowed to start your own thread. not sure of the # but it's not very many, you'll be able to do it in no time. in the meantime, since the couple things that you are going to post relate to this episode this would be the best place for it for now.

You got it. Thanks.

Because the url for the time travel blog is so damn long, I'm posting a tiny url version of the link. I know what you're thinking, "Is this dude gonna Rick Roll me?" No, I am not. But, now you're thinking, "Oh, sure! That's totally what a dude about to Rick Roll someone would say" Yes, it is. But, I'm not going to Rick Roll you, so just click the damn link and quit making a big deal out of it! Sheesh!

Here it is, in a nutshell, forward time travel explained:

The following is my essay, for lack of a better description, about truth.

Of truth
by Johnny Gumballhead, aka John from Joliet

During my ever-so-brief existence on this planet we call Earth, I have noticed there are very few evident truths. This is disappointing, as our purpose here, as far as I can estimate, is to discover truth. Even more disappointing than the lack of truths are the truths themselves.

And while some truths are just that, most lack any sort of importance, weight, significance. I have, however, come to realize a truth that, for me, carries with it absolute understanding - an enlightenment so profound that the urge to share it with mankind is just as fervent as the urge to keep it a secret; to enjoy it singularly, basking in it's glory and the knowledge that you are not only the special recipient of this nugget of nirvana, but the sole proprietor of it's effect.

But, is that so? Could not this truth have forced itself upon others? The very nature of it suggests that it could and has. At the very most, though, only about half of the world's population would even have this unique opportunity, and even then conditions would have to be optimal.

Perhaps events have presented themselves without the white flash of clarity, thusly not adhering this truth to the blessed vessels for whom wisdom has been offered. Perhaps those who know do not truly know. And perhaps some know, but they're just not saying.

The truth I speak of is unique in that it itself and the resulting effect are both absolute truths independently, yet affecting the same conscious consequence. This truth I give to you. This truth I make a gift of, for I cannot take it with me - I need not take it with me, for once it is learned it can never be unlearned - once it is felt, it cannot be unfelt - once it is here, it is everywhere.

Sneezing with a boner hurts like a bastard.

It's 10. I'm sorry for people who come to the board and have something valid to post, like Mr. From Joliet, but it was necessary to crack down on spam, and we felt 10 was a fair number.

I know were talking time travel here but, Jivin, you're completely off on your chicken cutlet breading. It's flour <i>then</i> egg <i>then</i> the Ritz. You'll get nowhere trying to apply that delicious, salty, buttery cracker to flour.

Since it keeps popping up in shows, I want to end this “all of a sudden” vs. “all of the sudden” debate once and for all. Technically speaking, neither is correct. “Suddenly” is the proper word you’re looking for. Where “all of a sudden” came from is beyond me, and while that is the correct way to say the phrase, it’s still not even correct in a strictly grammatical sense, as it is an idiom. And why not just say “suddenly” anyway? It’s less words. One, in fact, for those keeping count. That’s my public service for the day.

This Hawking business raises a question, zombie-wise. Would some zombies rise from the grave with the afflictions that had while alive? Certainly a Hawking zombie wouldn't be able to chase me on foot. I mean, a certain amount of physiology is necessary for these zombies to get around (muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc). If those things were defective in life, why would they suddenly work with the undead? I'm just not buying that a skeleton could walk around without at least minimum muscle attached...working muscle.

Seriously, why is this interrupting my thoughts at work? Oh yeah, I have nothing else to think about.

Depends on the type. The gooey zombie will be limited to its physical skillset because those arise out of some type of virus/plague/etc. The dust and bones variety are generally supernatural in origin, like a curse. I think they might be able to function in illogical ways.

Dan 'Hampton

04-30-2008, 12:59 PM

I think the virus zombies would be more likely to not have aflictions from the corpses past. The virus is overriding the brain and can run the body properly,
The dust and bones would be a mummy and thats just retarded.

If you follow Bullet Witch rules (terrible video game by the way). Then Stephen Hawking would be an excellent candidate for a boss type zombie, using it's incredible brain power to control the drone hordes from afar.

CT, I've been attempting to come up with what you describe as a dust and bones zombie from a movie, to put up an example clip, and the immediate image that comes to mind is a mummy. But, is a mummy a zombie? It's definitely a walking dead creature, but I've gotten mixed opinion about whether its a zombie or not. Any thoughts on placing the mummy within the zombie genus?

I agree, it doesn't make sense that something lacking the basic components of mobility can all of a sudden... I mean suddenly, become functional upon becoming undead. However, having a zombie wag its spine like a dog's tail is pretty cool, no matter how illogical.

I’d say zombies are definitely a bastardization of the mummy concept. And while zombies have a more open, less fleshed out mythology, it's still an improvement on the mummy monster. Really, a mummy? The only monster more lame than a werewolf is a mummy. It's like being chased by a stroke victim. Woopty-doo! If you get caught and killed by a mummy you're a pussy and deserve to die by...wait, how do mummies kill their victims? Anyway, how do you make the concept of the mummy more scary? Thousands of them, that's how...and all hungry for brains.

I'm a lil behind in my podcast listening this week, but I finally got to start listening to today's show and want to thank CT and Jivin for all the love.

To Jivin, I say don't get your pantaloons in a bunch :wink: and my sig is the album cover from an Afghan Whigs cd entitled Gentlemen. If you've never heard it, I highly recommend picking it up.

And CT, I usually can't start threads when listening to the show, I usually listen to the show in my car.
