Don't they just ROCK? Here are a few pictures for you to look at, just because they are a bit blurry in that video for some reason. Blame Dreamhost.


So, you can buy these shirts, as well as about 10 different kinds, over at My Shirt Shop for only 20 bucks 40 cent a pop with cheap ass shipping. Thats how we like it!

Warning: It is against the law to litter. Throwing airplanes out of stationary cars is prohibited.
Taken from Reddit.com comment:
So what's the driver supposed to do? Stop and look for planes, and then hope he makes it across before any come by and snag his car with the tow rope?

Here is the link you need to click or copy-paste (into your browser, of course) in order to make a voice message. You can record straight from your computer, and It will upload directly to my site.
You can also email me your mp3s of text comments to talktome@stuffslashersaw.com Chances are that you will get mentioned. How cool is that? Mentioned on a show which has hundreds of fans. I hope you take me up on my offer...

Episode 50 coming right up, ladies and gents!
Posted April 15th, 2007 by cianIt is a momentous occasion in the Life of me. I have manged to interview three of my favorite authors on my podcast, (Episode 45: Scott Sigler, Episode 47: JC Hutchins, Episode 49: Tee Morris) but a few people noticed on my last episode, (49) that I only had one more to go, until I reached episode 50. This, in my mind, is huge.
Thanks to all my loyal listeners, and lets see episode 100!
If you want to, you can email me your comments in text or mp3 (or wav... or whatever really) form to talktome@stuffslashersaw.com . I will mention your name. If you don't want me to, just tell me not to. (if they are in text form, you could just leave it as a comment here.)
Also, if you want to leave a voice comment RIGHT NOW, you can do so by scrolling down a little bit. There is a box which says 'My voicemesseges'. Use it to your advantage!

This is sthe Belkin TuneStudio for iPod 5th generation. Taken from their site, (www.belkin.com)
Belkin’s TuneStudio for iPod 5th generation (video)
is the first four-channel audio mixer that lets you create high-quality
digital recordings directly onto your iPod. This mixer allows the input
of up to four different instruments or audio sources, and records the
audio onto your iPod for instant playback.
