Live chat: A drink for all my friends!

Ah yes, a Sunday night and things just feel right for a chat. There's a Rocky marathon on TV (Rocky 3 starts promptly at 8) on AMC. Or you can watch The Wedding Singer on VH1. Or you can be lame like me and just listen to old podcasts while you chat.

So here's how it works: We just use the blog for our chat. Just read the comments for the ongoing dialog. And write a comment when you're ready to jump in. Just keep refreshing your page to read the latest conversation. I'll be here, sitting in the Spears Lair, glass of fermented beverage firmly in hand.

I'm open to any topics of conversation, but I really want future podcast ideas -- especially ones for the holiday season. So welcome and enjoy. I'll be here 'til I run out of ice cubes.

Hi everyone - sorry for my late contribution. I think an excellent podcast topic would be the 1984 classic Teachers. It contains some of the best acting in an 80s movie, and some amazing actors, including Nick Nolte, Judd Hirsch, Laura Dern, Crisping Glover and 80s icon Raplh Macchio. In addition, some of the problems that it was touching on have become the reality of modern North American schools since.
Anyways, that is my 2 cents.

[sparky]

Goodnight folks I'm gone too.

[Jeff in Cuba]

I guess I'll pack it in as well.

Gotta run a 5K with the young guns in about 6 and a half hours.

Be good while I'm gone.

[Cat]

Good Night already? I'm just getting here. Darn, I guess I missed it.

[sparky]

Jeff, to make things better in the AFC West, the Chargers just wrapped their lips around the exhaust pipe and inhaled deeply. I'm laughing pretty hard right now considering I said that hiring Norv Turner was a mistake.

[Miguel]

I know those beaches in Malaga Jeff.But the Algarve ones are much better.

Sparky i joined Steve`s blog by accident.I love the 80s and on imdb they had a link to a Say Anything podcast.I enjoyed it and continued listening to it.We have good blogs here too.

[sparky]

Later Bass.

[Jeff in Cuba]

'Note,

I gotta admit, one of the things I'll probably miss the most when I leave GTMO is my radio show. The engineering I can pick up wherever I go, but 'on air" opportunities may not be so easy to find.

Although in the brave new world of podcasting, everyone can be on the air.

Maybe I'll hang out my own shingle.

[sparky]

Jeff,

LOL!

You have to let me gloat since that was my Super Bowl. The AFC West is a trainwreck considering that the Raiders are still mathematically in it.

[Bassnote]

Good night Angela. i must be heading off too. I have a lot of stuff to get ready for tomorrow, and then off to bed. Take care everyone.

[Angela]

good night. and good luck w/the job search. i'm starting one now too. can't stand insurance. at this point i'll do almost anything else.

[Jeff in Cuba]

Sparks,

I was waiting for the inevitable Oakland/Denver comment.

In the words of French mathmatician and philosopher Rene Descartes: "Bite me."

[sparky]

G'nite Angela.

[Angela]

Well gentlemen, it's been a fun evening. I look forward to the next chat night. I've got to go to bed now. I am facing a hellish day at work tomorrow. Thank God it's a short work week.

[sparky]

So Jeff, you looking forward to being a civilian?

So where do you want to end up? You've been to so many places?

By the way did you catch the Oakland/Denver score?

[Jeff in Cuba]

Sparks,

Big retirement ceremony in mid-July. Bands will play, speeches will me made, cake will be eaten.

Then who knows...

[Bassnote]

Jeff, I think Steve and sean would benefit from having you as a full time co-host

[sparky]

Jeff, I've been looking for a couple of months. The market pretty much sux right now. Been getting a lot of calls but no one is pulling the trigger.

[Jeff in Cuba]

Miguel,

I spent a summer in Spain and kept meaning to get over to Portugal.

Somehow I lways ended up on the beach in Malaga...

[sparky]

Angela, sure is. We have all the amenities of a garbage dump.

[sparky]

Jeff, you retiring from the Navy?

[Angela]

S - Sounds much more exotic than Long Island.

[sparky]

Miguel, so what brings you to the blogs?

Nobody as good as Sean and Spearsy over across the pond?

[Jeff in Cuba]

Sparks,

So I'm officially looking for a new job.

Got any ideas?

[Miguel]

No Sparky i`m not an american.I`m 100% portuguese.All european.

And i`m not working tomorrow morning.I have a meeting in the afternoon.

[sparky]

I'm in the Tropics of NE Pennsylvania.

[Angela]

sparky,
where are you?

[Jeff in Cuba]

Weather here is pretty cold by GTMO standards.

Nay get down into the mid 60's tonight.

[Bassnote]

Yikes! I hope your not working today.

[sparky]

Miguel, never did ask you. So are you an American over there on assignment?

[Miguel]

It`s 4 am now in Lisbon Bassnote.

[sparky]

So how's the weather down there?

Weather up here is a balmy 28.

[sparky]

I think he may close down your Gitmo Marriot but you aren't going anywhere I'm sure.

[Jeff in Cuba]

Sparks,

Cuba's great, although there are a lot of questions in the air right now.

Waiting to see what the new boss wants to do with the joint.

[Angela]

I'm still here. It's just hard to talk this way.

[sparky]

Me too. And I used smelly stuff under the arms and combed my hair.

[Bassnote]

Honest, I showered!

[sparky]

I think we stink, Bass.

[Bassnote]

Where'd everyone go?

[sparky]

So how's things going in Cuba, Jeff.

[sparky]

I think that Mick surpassed Keith Richards on the Rockstar Death Watch.

[Bassnote]

Egad! Kanye West! Must turn the channel!

[sparky]

He looked like cousin It.

[bear]

how about a breakdancing podcast, ollie and jerry and stuff like that.

[DaveFromMN]

Isn't he 10 years older than anyone else in the band?

[Jeff in Cuba]

I'm still here (when the satellite lets me!)

[Bassnote]

Me too Sparky. Hey Miguel, what time is it in Lisbon?

[DaveFromMN]

You mean like why is he on the AMAs?

[sparky]

Anyone watching the AMA's? What the hell is up with Mick Marrs?

[Miguel]

Am i the only one who thinks the "Pretty in Pink" finale was OK?
