"Kristan's husband, Allen, began his love affair with World of Warcraft one afternoon about a year ago, when he opened a demo CD for the game and started playing it non-stop. Kristan, who is 23, assumed he'd eventually get bored. Today, the 26-year-old gets home from his IT job at 6, inhales dinner and plays the online fantasy game until midnight. This he does every evening, except for weekends -- when he plays from 9 a.m. until 2 a.m."
I have a bunch of these sketched in but no time to do them. So I started again tonight with this little sketch of Frog Eatin' Lou. For those of you not familiar with the 700 Hoboes, please consult Show #88.
Fans of The Office may enjoy this new British comedy called The IT Crowd. Not bad. The first show is downloadable, so go watch it now. Thanks to Andrew for the link.
Neil, our Former Fat Guy in the Basement, joins us for his first show of the year. We chat about monkeys, health, vomit, diapers and more. How could you not love a show like this?
Hmmm...Steve Jobs becomes a member of the Disney Board of Directors with this buyout? How soon before we see Extreme Makeover: Computer Edition on ABC?
Listen up brothas! Tonight's show, we talk about our listeners, the continuous road to show 100, strange people at drug store cosmetic counters and Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man.
If you're a Kraftwerk fan, you have to hear this. Salsa covers versions of Kraftwerk tunes. I heard this on Coverville Episode 169, and it totally blew me away. 
On this episode of Jawbone, we speak to prolific and popular podsafe artist, Jonathan Coulton. We discuss the Year of the Coulton, his affiliation and Friday Night barfights with Mr. John Hodgman, being a contributing troubador for Popular Science magazine, annoying jingles and a whole lot of Jonathan Coulton music! Open your ears and let the Coulton in, won't you? 
Something is very wrong with the costume designer for this show. I remember seeing the commercial for Finding Nemo on Ice about a year ago and both Nora and I had to rewind the commerical to make sure we were seeing what we were. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this photograph, but I'm seeing large, bulbous breasts on the front of those foam rubber costumes. It looks even worse on TV, because the imagery is flashing quickly before your eyes, edited with shots of seahorses and stingrays...it's designed to confuse the senses. I can just imagine a bunch of dads sitting slack-jawed and drooling over the faux breasts that skated before them, and the mothers suddenly realizing that they have just gotten discount tickets from Tops for a boob show. Odd. Very odd.
Poor Campbell Scott. The guy has the sad curse, of looking perpetually 15 years old. And he also can't grow a good mustache. I can't decide whether his mustache in The Exorcism of Emily Rose was real or a movie prop. Luckily, it didn't get in the way of me enjoying the film. It's probably the best movie about the rite of exorcism that I have seen in a long while. Very good film indeed.
There has been a lot of talk recently about podcasters shilling for money and donations to buy themselves stuff. And we here at Jawbone don't want to be left out in the cold.
Cool stuff from our friends overseas, via Adcritic:
Jawbone returns with a vengance! It's the first show of 2006 and we're just nine shows away from the big 100. How exciting! Tonight, Nora and I discuss our Christmas and New Years holiday, Len coming to fisticuffs with our holiday guests, the upcoming liver test, nose apes on new years and much more. Let's start 2006 out with a bang!
This is the drawing of Adam Curry. In the song, Adam was turned into the brash and bratty Alvin of the bunch. We took that a bit further by giving Adam a doobie and some bloodshot eyes. I do not have any personal knowledge of whether the Podfather tokes it up in his spare time. This is what i was told to draw. Please do not come and break my legs, Podfather.
Here is the amiable and ever-loved teddy bear of a podcaster, Mr. CC Chapman. Once again, the fact that Mr. Chapman is a bit heavier in this rendering is not my doing. I was only being told what to draw! My original drawing of CC was very svelte, athletic and fit. This is not a personal commentary on Mr. Chapman. I happen to think he is a wonderful man. Once again, please do not send goons. I was only following orders.
And finally, here is the image of the master musician Mr. Jonathan Coulton. I was flying blind on this drawing since it was a bit difficult finding an image of Mr. Coulton to work from. A Google search of his name came up with different images of master brewers, pierogis, scotch drinkers and Dalaran wizards, hardly the sort of source material that would be considered reliable. After an exhaustive search however, I was able to find a fairly good photo to work from and I came up with this mumu-wearing fellow. 
Podcast Pickle recently cleared out their favorite podcasts links. Which means nothing to you. But what it means to us is that we need your help to stay in the top 25!
