coincidentally enough

Posted in slappycast by slappy on September 6th, 2007

dear friends,

this week’s episode of the Odd Preoccupation features as a theme one of my lifelong fascinations: coincidence. herein i spin a series of connected moments about the subject, including along the way:

• another segment in our recurring feature moore meets merwin
• ken nordine relating the odd tale of the man who always knew what time is was
• eugene mirman vs. the gays, or more accurately eugene mirman vs. the telephone solicitor for the antigay Christian telephone company
• and the debut of features from two foreign correspondents:
• from all the way up on the lonesome plains of Ioway, dating advice from our friends at cryptonarrative — yes, it’s the series premiere of If A Dude Wants To Watch A Rabbit Fuck A Lemon, He’s Not A Scientist, He’s A Pirate!
• from all the way over in the bustling metropolis of Taipei, Taiwan, comes the latest in intellectual property news from our extremely foreign correspondent Russell Case. in this segment he demonstrates how to get your illegally downloaded copy of the new videogame Hitman to run successfully, on a computer screen that you can’t see (because it’s the RADIO.)

enJoy, be on the lookout, and don’t let the bedbugs bite — send ‘em to the fish.

love,

slappy
