Jawbone Radio: January 2009

Show notes, whimsy and more that make up the Jawbone Radio Show, a humble podcast produced from the attic of a home in Cleveland, Ohio.

Run Runaway - What An Apt Title

Published Saturday, January 31, 2009 by Len.

Okay, I know I am 20+ years late on this, but I couldn't get it out of my mind this morning. I don't know how much Slade spent on this video, but it's pretty safe to assume that if the weird facial and tongue contortions made it into the final cut, it wasn't a whole hell of a lot.

BTW, I woke up with this running through my head this morning. I think it has something to do with detox after watching that horrendous M. Night movie "The Happening" last night. Not even Rifftrax could save it from its "horrible-ability".

Bacon Explosion

Published Friday, January 30, 2009 by Len.

I have to thank listener Greg Epps for this one. If there was anything that would make my heart stop - literally - for bacon. It would be this recipe. This is almost. ALMOST as bad as Adam Richman's feat of eating 15 dozen oysters in under half an hour.

Dig in.

Nora and I on Sirius Radio!

Published Tuesday, January 27, 2009 by Len.

Just a reminder to everyone who has Sirius Radio. Nora and I will be guests on Sirius 159/XM 117 tomorrow at 11 AM on a show called "The Catholics Next Door" with Greg and Jennifer Willits. That is, if Jennifer doesn't give birth in the next 24 hours. She is two days overdue and is pretty much ready to deliver any second now. In fact, you can leave her baby a message if you choose. In the meantime, check it out if you can listen. Should be fun!

UPDATE: You can now listen to our interview in case you missed it. Here it is. Thanks to Erin for recording the show and getting it to us so quickly!

For the record, I would never be able to do this because my wingsuit would be weighted down with poop. Yes, I wrote poop. Thanks to Carlton for this.

More Wil Wheaton

Published by Len.

I decided to make Wil Wheaton more or a fan by doing some art of him. This cartoon is based on this infamous photo, which incidentally I used as a Caption This a long time ago. Hope he likes it!

Incidentally, Photoshop decided to crap out before I could save this drawing, so looks like I'll have to rebuild it again. Ah well. At least I was able to grab a quick screenshot of it. So is life.

Awesome Overload

Published Tuesday, January 20, 2009 by Len.

I even got some lovely commemorative art from my visit. This ... on TwitPic

Over the weekend, my friends Paul, Storm and JoCo met MythBusters host Adam Savage in San Francisco. In honor of their meeting, I was asked by Paul to create an artists rendering of it. Paul was also supposed to hand Adam $20. The $20 thing didn't happen, but the artwork was handed off to Adam. And here is the visual proof.

I gotta say, so far this year has been full of awesomeness. And I owe Paul and Storm and Coulton for a lot of it. Click to see the bigger pic. And click here to see the art up close.

Wil Wheaton Is A Fan Of Mine

Published by Len.

I got this link from a couple of people. Yesterday, Wil Wheaton himself linked up one of my monster videos in particular my artwork for "Octopus' by Jonathan Coulton. Not only that, but in the comments, Wil said he is a fan of my artwork.

Lego Mexican Restaurant

Published Wednesday, January 07, 2009 by Len.

For Christmas, we got the kids Legos. A LOT of Legos. And yesterday, I come downstairs to see they have built a Lego restaurant. But they didn't just build the restaurant, they built the the sidewalk, a construction crew, stoplights and a main street. Not only that, but the restaurant was a Mexican place. How do I know? They made a marquee out of Lego's that spelled out "MEXICAN." I was floored by their creativity. You can see all the shots right here.
