Do we owe you a bag of Funyuns?
Thanks to uber-friend and fan Brad, we now have 11 (instead of 12, thanks Sean) mini bags of Funyuns already autographed and sitting in little boxes ready to ship out.
The question is: Do we owe you a bag? If so, shoot me an e-mail!
Meanwhile, Brad has used his superior technology skills to craft a Funyun theme song of sorts. Think "Art of Noise" mated with "Max Headroom." Click here to listen.
Also, don't forget about our new weekly Sunday Night Chat. The fun begins about 9 p.m. right here on the blog. Just in time for you to finish up Mother's Day activities and pour yourself a much-needed beverage.

That is freakin' brilliant! Bravo Brad! HA! Did I say that was brilliant? I mean TOTALLY, dude!
Curious, are the Funyons FUNBAG sized? *wink*

Depends on the funbag, of course.

Ah, in that case, you're gonna need a bigger box.

Awesome, Brad. Kinda funky, kinda surreal. Very cool.
And I think Funyons are like cockroaches. Here since the beginning of time and capable of surviving through a nuclear explosion. Mmmmm.

Bravo, Brad! Excellent tribute to Funyons, delicious Funyons, that puts their "delicious yellow color" in one corner and "tastes like styrofoam" in the other.

Nice work, Brad! I only wish you could have worked in that clip of Sean saying that wasabi Funyuns tasting like "hot sour garbage" (I think he was reading a letter from a listener at the time).

Very cool. Great job, Brad.

David,
I knew there were more Funyun related clips out there, but honestly I got tired of thumbing through the podcasts listening for them.
I will say this - after working on this I can identify the word "Funyun" by the audio waveform on the timeline. Weird, huh?
Glad people are enjoying it.

That's pretty fantastic, Brad. Max Headroom would be proud.
