3 b > 2

Wed. 10/7/09 3:02pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Three is the new four.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:03pm From: GP

Irwin,
I give it a 3.14159265..not too shabby considering the alternatives.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:03pm From: PooMooDoo

Three is close to infinity in a world run by 3.00000000000000001

Wed. 10/7/09 3:03pm From: Jack Tripper

Three's Company!

Wed. 10/7/09 3:04pm From: PMD

GP, kinda like American Pi?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:04pm From: Laura L

Father, Son and Holy Ghost, it's Irwin's show on the third day of the week, at 3pm!

Wed. 10/7/09 3:05pm From: Lizardner Dave

Andy?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:06pm From: AnAnonymousParty

But if the scale represents a continuum where 1 represents 'Peru' and 10 represents 'broom', then 3 seems about right to me.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:07pm From: GP

PMD - you got it, or a reasonable approximation thereof.

I’m eating corn (weenies) dogs and caviar for lunch a staple of the unemployed elitists.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:15pm From: GP

Provided you dismiss the server (god forbid, you have not had to give up your help) with a haughty wave, then John McCabe, I heartily approve.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:15pm From: Irwin

Andy? Andy who? Never heard of him.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:17pm From: Ike

Is it just me, or does Mr. McCabe's voice strongly resemble John Goodman's? John, do you get that often? I mean that in a good way. It's very sonorous.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:19pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Explosive as well as poisonous, greenheart does have some good qualities -- like durability that rivals teak's. Sawyers in Guyana, Surinam, and Venezuela have nasty enough work in the tropical heat day in and day out without worrying about exploding logs on top of it all. But when a load of greenheart comes to the mill, they treat the logs like a truckload of ticking time bombs.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:19pm From: John McCabe in LA

no, but it may be a good evolution for the Best Show's topic that never dies "who do you look like"

Wed. 10/7/09 3:23pm From: GP

DCE, What is the last thing a Greenhart says as it is felled?

"Every tree dies, not every tree really lives."

I could not resist.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:24pm From: GARY

IRWIN,
ISN'T KURT WEILL DEAD?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:24pm From: AnAnonymousParty

And I thought this was going to be about Ohio. Three indeed.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:25pm From: north guinea hills

That's Kurt Vile, not Kurt Weil. Deliberate play on names, i know...

Wed. 10/7/09 3:25pm From: Irwin

Yes, he is. Hence, he will not be on 7SD this evening.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:27pm From: Dick Kent

Hey, what about me? I know from Columbus.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:34pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

well, at least it's not "faux"asis.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:35pm From: fishmonkeystew

Hi Irwin! Great show! Got any Pairdown?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:38pm From: Laura L

When I have golden biscuits my mind always turns to Niagra Falls. It's only a suggestion.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:41pm From: blacktooth

Hey no pressure, but if you find yourself void of ideas or direction, i need my mark turns fixx...

Wed. 10/7/09 3:41pm From: Niagara Falls

Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch ,,,

Wed. 10/7/09 3:44pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

A container of wet willies?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:45pm From: blacktooth

yee-gods this story is terrifying!

Wed. 10/7/09 3:46pm From: What!

Qnly your finger? Consider yourself lucky. Why, just last week I was drinking gin, and....oh forget it...

Wed. 10/7/09 3:46pm From: GP

You had me at "cut the end of my finger off"

Wed. 10/7/09 3:47pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

You had me at "storage facility".

Wed. 10/7/09 3:49pm From: manhattan mini

you lost me at "you had me at..."

Wed. 10/7/09 3:49pm From: AnAnonymousParty

You know there will soon be a warning label advising against placing one's fingers in the container, right next to the "do not eat" sticker.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:51pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

speaking of disclaimers, I noticed on my "Silk" coffee creamer one advising that Silk Creamer is NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INFANT FORMULA. Just in case, you know.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:51pm From: notfromohio

thank you! (fist pumping)

Wed. 10/7/09 3:52pm From: GP

I guess I will have have to start hanging out at storage facilities to see events such as the aforementioned unfolding.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:53pm From: annie

yeah, in smaller print down at the bottom of that silk creamer is this.. (use nestle's infant milk powder instead) <s>

Wed. 10/7/09 3:53pm From: GP

DCE, but what if baby is DRINKING the coffee?

Wed. 10/7/09 3:54pm From: AnAnonymousParty

@DCE, it's only there because it needs to be. My lawnmower has a sticker near the grass chute, the universal "do not" circle w/slash symbol over a cartoon of someone putting their face in the opening.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:56pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

well, it's human nature to stick your face in front of that thing, especially if it's jammed up!

and I guess babies drinking coffee with creamer is not that far fetched...in today's modern society.

Wed. 10/7/09 3:59pm From: GP

Dancing baby holding Grande Uber Mondo Latte.

Thanks for Eydie!

Wed. 10/7/09 3:59pm From: blacktooth

my girlfriend recently pointed out to me that the slogan "america runs on dunkin'" is false advertising. no one who eats dunkin' donuts can run during or afterwards.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:00pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

But they may *get* the runs . . .

Wed. 10/7/09 4:01pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong when sticking your head inside a running lawnmower? Well I'm off to Mickey D's to get a coffee, brb.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:05pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Pick up a sandwich, too, Anonymous.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:05pm From: PooMooDoo

Hey - dunkin' donuts are the best! (former rhode islander speaking)

Wed. 10/7/09 4:06pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

is this the only band you deliberately f* with their name? why you pickin on these fellas?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:06pm From: PMD

Irwin, I dare you to play John Denver.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:07pm From: Irwin

DCE: There's a reason. Explore.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:08pm From: AnAnonymousParty

I burned my hands with the coffee, dang that stuff's rocket hot, why, they oughta warn ... oh, nevermind.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:08pm From: Clancy

the bea&&kles are another. similar reason I suppose

Wed. 10/7/09 4:12pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I'm ashamed to say my internet detective skills are well below average.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:14pm From: GP

Hmmm...
<"do not" circle w/slash symbol over a cartoon of someone putting their face in the opening>

I could think of some other places where this would be appropriate.

LOL. AAP...."may contain hot liquid" A bit ambiguous I must admit.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:15pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

DCE . . . there's this website? It's called Google?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:17pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I used "Blackle" which is supposed to be a black version of Google. Not as in "African American" but it's a black screen that supposedly uses less energy.

But I'll try the white Google if you think it'll help.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:19pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

yeah, the white version is the same but whiter. First three hits are Irwin's playlists, and nothing else. I don't believe the secret is going to be revealed by the playlists.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:20pm From: Confucius sez

3rd rate search engine yields 5th rate answers.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:21pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

ah, so.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:22pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I used Dogpile, and I got *four* relevant hits.

But they were all links to Irwin too.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:23pm From: north guinea hills

I tried earlier w/ different search engines, and I too just found Irwin links....

Wed. 10/7/09 4:24pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

so Irwin, either we all suck, or your secret is very well hidden.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:24pm From: GP

Actually that Blackle thing is kind of cool and easy on the eyes although not in a Scarlett Johansson kind of way.
It uses Google as its search engine, so we are cool with that.

Densie, but did you try Dogle, everthing is in black and white on their pages.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:25pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

GP, I actually fell for that.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:26pm From: GP

Ha LOL...I am in a weird mood today! I think it should have been Doggle....: )

Wed. 10/7/09 4:31pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

...like the BS&T version better...

Wed. 10/7/09 4:31pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

Hm. I like this cut. Never heard it done by anyone but Dusty before.

Yes, GP, that spelling would have been more convincing.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:35pm From: AnAnonymousParty

@GP, humorous applications notwithstanding, if you can foresee where warning stickers might be needed, then you are not actually a member of the target audience.

@DCE

LCD screens use the same amount of power whether black or white (backlite is always on) CRTs are another story, but who uses THOSE in the 21st century?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:37pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

well that's a damned shame.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:37pm From: GP

10-4 on that AAP.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:38pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

I've heard the same thing about LCD screens, AAP.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:39pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I'll keep using Blackle in an effort to maintain diversity in search engines, though.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:40pm From: GP

Fight the man DCE! , fight the man.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:40pm From: AnAnonymousParty

"infinite diversity in infinite combinations", good for you.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:41pm From: The Man

Anytime. Anyplace.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:42pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

*backs out of comment section quietly but quickly*

Wed. 10/7/09 4:43pm From: Those against The Man

Pssst, The Man has a glass jaw, FWIW.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:43pm From: The Man

Hold on...the lunch money. Give it to me.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:43pm From: PHXPat

Always late...love Irwins show

Wed. 10/7/09 4:43pm From: annie

DCE-this is why i lurk

Wed. 10/7/09 4:44pm From: The Man

I know about you too, Ms. Annie.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:44pm From: Denise in Washington, DC

No, dammit! (pushes The Man into the path of the swing set)

Wed. 10/7/09 4:44pm From: GP

Irvin, Moog...now I know how to pronounce it..all this wasted time.
(I always though it was Moog..like the sound a cow makes, but I must admit I don't think I ever heard it pronounced until now.)

I see you Annie!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:45pm From: annie

been cleaning, playing go, cooking, etc... i see you gp and i raise you ten!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:46pm From: The Man

waaaaaah ... Mommmmmie!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:46pm From: GP

Irvin = Irwin

Wed. 10/7/09 4:47pm From: annie

i love wallace shawn..

Wed. 10/7/09 4:48pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

I think that equation is unbalanced.
Irvin < Irwin

Wed. 10/7/09 4:49pm From: Perl expression

Irwin = Irv . v . in

Wed. 10/7/09 4:50pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

does that also mean Irwin= Ir v2 in ?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:51pm From: haystax calhoun

Used to avoid the old calypso hour, now I look forward to the little snacks. Limbo lower now!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:51pm From: GP

I love Pie!

V + V = W ? Yes, I think so.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:52pm From: LOL cool cats

I R win!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:52pm From: doug from DC

Unless you are Wavves.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:52pm From: AnAnonymousParty

So why is 'w' called double-u when it is clearly double-v?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:53pm From: Latinvm

Wordsvm

Wed. 10/7/09 4:53pm From: PoogMoogDoog

So, GP, is it then G(oog)P(oog)? Silent g?

Wed. 10/7/09 4:54pm From: AnAnonymousParty

For values of V = W / 2.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:55pm From: GP

<scratching head - shrugs>

Wed. 10/7/09 4:55pm From: Tax Avery

I didn't get my W2 from my employer yet.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:55pm From: doug from DC

Becaves, the U character was vsvally spelled with a V in ancient times, I svspect.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:55pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

nobody told me there would be math here.

Wed. 10/7/09 4:56pm From: GP

HA ha Oog Poog - I'm liking it

Wed. 10/7/09 4:56pm From: Dead Corporate Eyes

Tax Avery, I'm guessing that would actually be your v4

Wed. 10/7/09 4:57pm From: PMD

BTW, I think in Spanish or German, they do say it double v for W

Wed. 10/7/09 4:58pm From: Mel Brooks

You guys are nuts N-V-T-S nuts!

Wed. 10/7/09 4:58pm From: AnAnonymousParty

Well, there is math just BEFORE you get here ;)

Wed. 10/7/09 4:59pm From: John Hartford

It's knowin' that your door is always open and your math is free to grok...

Wed. 10/7/09 4:59pm From: doug from DC

Mr. Brooks, you beat me to it..
Classic, I still use that one, the younger set looks upon me as crazy and wonder what the hell I'm talking about.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:01pm From: GP

Irwin,
Thank you for Koichi! Love the vinyl clicks and pops.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:01pm From: Mel Brooks

Only a miracle can save you now GP.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:02pm From: annie

janet; that's something i would have done... really funny.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:04pm From: GP

LOL.. < shouts> "M I R A C L E"

Janet, That is my kind of answer!

Wed. 10/7/09 5:11pm From: PMD

Janet, these days the kid would get an 'A'.
Did you do the Ken thing this morning with the squirting milk?

Wed. 10/7/09 5:13pm From: GP

Lydia at the Lit Lounge, not to be said 3x fast.

I have not been there.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:15pm From: Janet H

I like pie. Apple mostly, But any kind is good

Wed. 10/7/09 5:38pm From: the tantric twinkie

I smell a slippery slope in the near distance: Will post-constructivist philosophy students who question the validity of their personhood in light of shifting cultural contexts, and the primal inter-subjectivity of all identity, soon have to relinquish their facebook pages? Fie!

Wed. 10/7/09 5:39pm From: Bad Ronald

Wed. 10/7/09 5:44pm From: texas scott

this show was...WAS in a constant state of three, until we heard the go-betweens

metaphysically speaking : )

Wed. 10/7/09 5:49pm From: Dominick

Speaking of 3, the 128k MP3 stream has been tipped about 3dB to the left all day. Listening with iTunes 9.0.1

Wed. 10/7/09 5:56pm From: doug

holy crap does that stink.

Wed. 10/7/09 5:59pm From: GP

Irwin, thanks.

Wed. 10/7/09 6:00pm From: JT

I didn't know this was Hannah Montana, but I did know as soon as i heard this rotten piece of autotune that it was Irwin's show.
