Cicada Memories

If you're in the part of America currently celebrating the return of the cicada, you may want to listen back to Cliff and Kendall's classic cicada episode!

Click HERE to listen to "Episode 187 - Cicadas in the Rye"






We hosted the 'Cicadas in the Rye Festival' in Busheltown two years ago. The episode features Mrs. Potterbutter Butterchurn (that year's Queen of the Rye), Bad Jokes, Dear Cliff and Kendall, and Would U Rather?  It also features 1,000's of cicadas!

Explaining "Game of Thrones"

For the layman who doesn't know his Little Finger from his Khaleesi, the large number of characters on "Game of Thrones" can be confusing. So, if you're not clear on just what a certain character is all about, below find an explanation of 1/1,000th of the ensemble that makes up "Game of Thrones."

She's the Princess Diana of "Game of Thrones." 

Too bad for her, King Joffrey makes Prince Charles look like Jesus Christ. 

Ouch! Theon is still the Michael Scott of the show, but now he's maybe also the John Wayne Bobbitt. (That did happen, right? I had my hands over my eyes when the knife was taken out).

This dude from north of the wall is obviously the show's Yukon Cornelius. 

(There's probably all kinds of Bumbles running around north of the wall). 

Here we have the Dowager Countess of House Tyrell. 

(Although the real Dowager Countess back at Downton would 

NEVER allow Lady Mary to wed King Joffrey!) 

Arya is a sword-wielding Yentl.

Jamie, aka Kingslayer, is the Lannister version of Sawyer from "Lost." They're similar looking sexy bad boys (although Sawyer didn't have a sister, thankfully). Jamie has also recently become the show's Buster from "Arrested Development." (Not because he loves juice boxes).

Finally, every show should follow "Game of Thrones" lead and get their own Otho from "Beetlejuice."

Easter Wardrobe Update

Kendall is so embarrassed today because he showed up to Easter Sunday service wearing the same outfit as Justin Bieber (left)! Kendall and the similarly devout Bieber both wore white underwear, shiny blue pants, and white space sneakers.

Later, after the worship service during the egg hunt, Justin Bieber managed to collect more eggs than Kendall. Justin was able to store his found eggs in the crotch of his shiny blue pants (he wisely wore his pants 12 inches lower than was reasonable in order to maximize egg-storage space). Kendall was unable to store eggs in his pants due to his obesity.

Cliff (pictured below) wore a blue shirt to the Easter Sunday service in his living room (the annual eating of one dozen Cadbury Eggs).

Happy 2013! er- EASTER!!!!

Is our blog rising from the dead on Easter-eve? No. But! We would like to take this sacred moment to remind you that our blog may not be updated as frequently as Stonehenge, but our show has never died once and so doesn't need to return from the dead!!


Nope- our show (playable through that box on the right) is chugging right along! It's far healthier than Cliff or Kendall.

This week we're saluting the almost gone but not forgotten Video Store of yesteryear! Try not to weep at that photo above (which includes a "Death Becomes Her" poster in the upper-left! Then try not to weep as you listen to our show (which features a mention of "Death Becomes Her" and its Isabella Rossellini nudity!)

In short- Happy 2013! Happy Easter and if we don't see ya before then- Happy 4th of July! Woohoo- AMERICA!!!!!!!

When Life Gives You Liz Lemons . . .

So sad this show is going off the air!!!!!! Although I must admit a Universe that allows us 7 seasons of a show this brilliant is a benevolent one indeed.  It's the best comedy of the last ten years (according to one source*), and is my favorite by a wide margin.






I took some pictures of the latest episode like a sad Grampa who doesn't want his baby to go off to college.

Above: Jack on the phone. We both remember when Bravo used to air operas. 

Who will fill the void in my heart when this signs off? Liz is pointing to Leslie Knope (sidenote: NBC, please don't cancel "Parks and Recreation"!!!)

Jack appears as Harriet Tubman in Tracy's dream. 

Liz in the only white dress she owns. She had a wedding dress, but during hurricane Irene she forgot to stock up on toilet paper, but remembered to stock up on seven layer dip. 

Tracy with sunscreen on. 

The totally venerable Tony Bennett cancelled an appearance at the White House as a favor to Jack.

The Universe Shouts, "Life Worth Living"

In a bold move from the Universe, in a bid to convince millions of citizens afflicted with that thing where you're depressed because it's not summer, Hollywood is releasing a Barbra Streisand movie the same day as a Bette Midler movie!

No, I did not get three wishes from a Christmas genie- this is just happening! Let's hope these movies both become trilogies.

Also, Kendalls of the Earth will enjoy the fact that Bette Midler's movie also stars Oscar host Billy Crystal.

Maybe Obama was right- is there hope after all!?!??!?!?!
