all slappy, all the time

Posted in slappycast by slappy on August 2nd, 2007

dear friends,

this week’s show has the distinction of being the first entirely slappy-produced episode of the Odd Preoccupation. all our performers this week are members of the Preoccupied Players, though some may not know it. those performers include: narrator, tenorune, hankston, berrylicious, scotto, jenmoon, and free agent rez, along with KOOP apprentice justin and his pal brandon. let their laryngeal stylings caress your tympani and you WON’T be sorry — changed perhaps, but not sorry.

part 1 this week features a slappyrant about the impending Singularity, and whether Google can save us from nuclear holocaust. we then present a dialogue between two ghosts in the machine, ghosts named Alice and Jabberwacky. in part 2 we chat a bit about Ray Kurzweil, and then delve into a braided collage of short pieces designed as a vehicle to facilitate swift passage to the hypnagogic realms. part 3 consists of a description of a number of highlights from the game of Blank White Cards, which is interrupted by a special news briefing and farewell address from the President, who resigned during the course of this episode of Slappy Pinchbottom’s Odd Preoccupation. (i’m not saying the two phenomena are related, though they ARE.) part 4 rounds up the show with the usual painfully droll interstitial banter between the Odd Preoccupation and the Elk Mating Ritual.

here’s the filez, do with them what you will.
