Thx for commenting Kasper! Sounds like I’ve got another fan. At this rate, I should be famous by the 30th century.

I’m not really entertaining in real life. I think I’m more annoying. I don’t have any friends because I’m self-centered, but I’m fine with that. Jay and Sean put up with me occasionally.

I can never get enough of you Reed. Damn you’re the peak of entertainment. I laughed more during this hour of podcast than I’ve done all weak while watching 4 or 5 comedies in total.

I think the comparison is that you and KP both have your own unique take on things. Incidentally, Why is it that Sean can’t say ‘Gervais’ – he always makes a weird sound at the end of the word. The ‘vais’ should rhyme with ‘face’ or ‘lace’. Good to know there’s another episode on the way. Thanks, Paul.

I don’t know whether I should be flattered or insulted, but I like to think my “very odd social skills” is somewhat of an act. I mentioned before somewhere that Jay had played part of a Ricky Gervais podcast for me, but that I found it totally boring. (Sorry, I didn’t mean to insult Ricky and his friends. Just not my cup of tea.) So I’m not sure what to make of the Karl Pilkington association.

Anyhow, I’m glad you find our conversations entertaining, CJ and Paul. There is another Cantankerous in the can so to speak somewhere with photos of my neighbourhood cat. I think Jay has been too busy with other things to post the episode with the photos. I hope the photos aren’t floating around on the Internet on various cat sites.

Yes – well said CJ; I was thinking the same thing. Great show. Cooking with Gerry was brilliant. More please !

I have been listening to filmjunk for a while and its a good show. When I heard the episode with Reed I was like “ohh my god they found a Karl Pilkington” who is the guy from the Ricky Gervais podcast who also has very odd social skills. I dig filmjunk but this is truly entertaining in a very odd way.

[...] both episodes pale in comparison to the third, where we learn that the last hardcover book Reed purchased was the Joan Collins biography simply [...]

Oops, I meant to say “instinctively collect,” not “instinctively connect.”

Oh, I didn’t realize you meant videoing off the computer monitor. I understand you now. Yeah, when I had the videocamera pointed at the monitor, I could see a line scrolling through the image. My videocamera had a shutterspeed adjustment so I think I could minimize the effect, although I can’t recall if I eliminated it.

I think creatures can instinctively connect without experiencing pleasure. But, yes, I think I do experience pleasure. (I just appropriated the term “anhedonia” from Woody Allen, who supposedly does suffer from it, although maybe he was being funny.)

OK, I’ll keep on following Jay’s advice.

@Reed Farrington:

It has nothing to do with frame rate. I’m saying that old camcorders had no way to adjust the shutter speed when filming so that when you watch your tape of an old star trek site it’ll probably flicker (like a strobe light) and be impossible to read and enjoy.

“But I did want to write a Treknobabble concerning how Star Trek is considered to be racist even though the creators of that show have always made it a point to have multi-racial crews.”

Go on and do that, I just started reading treknobabble. The first series had television’s first interracial kiss didn’t it…

“I also suffer from anhedonia”

Not if you love collecting so much….you’re just bored in a rut.

“Jay came up with my pseudonym because he didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t like any of the names I came up with like Darth Nameless, Pacifistopheles, Pacifistofury, or The Man with No Name.”

That was a good idea.
