Borderline #85 - 7/28/08
Ding-Dong! Borderline is calling, and she’s ticked because we missed her anniversary. We’re hoping this show will smooth over the recent unpleasantness, because the best part of breakin’ up is makin’ up.
• Intro: Borderline calls us out for missing its anniversary.
• A brief look back at the history of Borderline, a.k.a. the history of Awesomeness.

Ice coffee notes: Brew it strong (twice as strong as normal) and chill overnight for best taste.

Hmm… I’d offer the drink name “Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster” but I think the estate of Douglas Adams would have issues.
Hmm… is there a drink named “Three Sheets to the Wind”…?

You guys just totally awesomed all over the place…I’m only halfway thru the podcast as I got interrupted while listening…the nerve of the boyfriend wanting to eat dinner…
The drink sounds spectacular! Coffer and Booze…can’t go wrong there!
Love it!
*muah* to you all.

Kevin - I would be most surprised if there wasn’t a drink name Three Sheets to the Wind. Time to fire up Google and find out for sure.
Fiddy - glad you like the drink! However, I’m concerned about your boyfriend and his interruption. Bdline listening time is sacred - it trumps food consumption. Like if we were playing Paper, Rock, Scissors and I threw the Bdline gang symbol, it would crush the competition

My next drink name recommendation was going to be “Rock, Paper, Scissors”. I’m no good at playing this game…

Nice. An amazingly well-crafted show, yet again. It’s not at all as though a small group of rabid squirrels just rummaged through my collection of china and bowling balls… good work…
Srsly, though. Nice. I’m thankful you let us peek into the world of three friends shooting the breeze.
Nice retro montge, btw. And don’t worry, the forced laughter didn’t sound at all out of place

I haven’t heard the show yet…and now I think I want to read all the comments first. lol. Brad, that wasn’t me at all, you need to put down the crack pipe. ;o)

Yay to everyone!
Kevin - Ooh… “Three Sheets to the Wind” sounds very pirate. I like it! No matter what it is, it should be served in a plastic skull. I suppose you could use a real skull too, but that might distract from the actual drink.
Fiddy- I hope you liked your drink! Thanks for the challenge. Now go tell your boyfriend to brew you some coffee.
Corby! Holy s**t! We haven’t heard from you in ages! How go things? Hope all is well with you too! Thanks for checking in. We all need to meet up for a Nebraska Podcasters gathering…
Brad- are you comparing me to a rabid squirrel? You know me too well.
Great to hear from you!
and last, but not least…
Neil- fantastic job on editing the show!

Such kind words, Lynn… thank you! They inspired me to search for my own skull cups online. $19.99 for a dozen? A bargain at twice the price. :^)
Interestingly, Wikipedia has an entry for “skull cup”, which starts as follows:
“The use of a defeated enemy’s skull as a drinking cup is reported by numerous authors through history among various peoples, especially nomads roaming the steppes of Eurasia.”

8/8/2008 is fast approaching.
Have you made plans to attend or host your neighborhood’s Octopus Appreciation Day festivities?
In today’s fast-paced world it can be easy to forget all that our friendly neighborhood cephalopods do for us. Millions of octopusususeses lead productive lives and contribute their fair share to society, though most of us are oblivious to their presence and activities.
Octopus Appreciation Day is not about enjoying calamari soaked in steaming garlic butter sauce. No… Octopus Appreciation Day is SO much more… not only by expressing your awareness but by actively exploring and expressing your inner octopus.
Seek the true meaning of Octopus Appreciation Day. This Friday, go out of your way to hug an octopus or perhaps toss them a tasty fish.
