Stennie – I think your former boss was a douche for firing you after talking to Marla – if it didn’t come out of YOUR mouth, he had no right assuming that you were going to be leaving. You could have changed your mind about going to Grad school, then would have been fired for nothing and could have sued for wrongful termination. Just poor management. Makes me angry.
What makes me happy is letting you gals know that there is a strong possibility (ie I have been warned) that I will go on as Donna/Oolie on October 22nd in City of Angels. 🙂 I’m not telling any of my friends or family to audio record this performance, but if it happens to surface, I’ll let you know 😉

Sorry to hear about your tech problems!! What a PITA.
Bet, I do find it hard to believe that Seattle’s Best coffee smells like tuna. The best coffee I’ve ever smelled was Frango coffee from Macy’s. That shit is AWESOME.
WE HAD AN EARTHQUAKE!! WOW!!
I love how, minutes after the quake, people on Twitter were referring to the Richmond Quake as the NYC Quake. >_< It weren't me!
Outtakes were fun this week, but new shows will be missed! Hope to hear you again before 2012?
Can I just say that Inheritance Summer sounds like a teen sex comedy? But it also sounds glooorious.
Wow. An outtakes show, by definition –not unlike the Pro Bowl — should suck. Yours do not. What is that, some sort of magic hocus-pocus mystical shit you’re doing? Keep it up.
You’d never know it, but I’m still listening and actually working on a movie quiz for you two, so hurry back soon.
“I didn’t tell anybody at work” I beg to differ….I believe the story goes..you received notification of being accepted into grad school WHILE AT SAID WORK and commenced to screaming with joy..it just so happened that the coalition of douches you worked with at the time were out of the office at that moment. I did not know the dynamics of your office, and when you recounted this story to me, I did not know Dan was not there at the time…
that being said, I have felt horrible about this story for years, and promise to get you laid as soon as possible.

Oh my god, I have been listening to HBs constantly all week and I’m finally caught up. The downside to listening to many episodes in a row is I think of things I want to comment about, but they’re so old it seems silly. But here are a few thing:
I would love you to post ALL of your HB links on your Facebook site, since I never actually go to the HB site except to comment (if I actually make it here in time to comment!). In fact, I will “like” the Hucklebug right now. I don’t know why I haven’t done that before!
Here’s the other thing. Stennie. Dear Stennie. I really really really don’t want to ruin a new favorite of yours. But as the Official Hucklebug Dental Hygienist (self-elected), I want to strongly discourage you from using your new favorite toothpaste. Or ANY toothpaste with baking soda in it. And here’s why: one of the most common problems I see at work is people with gum recession, caused by OVERbrushing. People like the way it feels to brush fast and hard, and they think they’re doing a really good job of it if they brush vigorously. In fact, your teeth get cleaner if you brush slowly and gently, because instead of mashing the bristles against your gums, the bristles have a chance to wiggle in between the teeth a little bit. Anyway, gum recession exposes the root of the tooth which is softer than the enamel (so it gets cavities more easily), yellow (unattractive), rough (stains easily) and sensitive! AND, once the gums have receded, they DON’T GROW BACK. I’m not saying you do this. But baking soda is much more abrasive than regular toothpastes. And this contributes to recession. SO, when people ask me what kind of toothpaste I recommend, I always say: use whatever you like, as long as it doesn’t have baking soda in it. And get the softest bristled brush you can find.
Plus you said your mom has terrible teeth and your mom has been brushing with baking soda for years. Hmmmmmm.
Sorry. A baking soda RINSE would be great. I’ll look around for another toothpaste to recommend.
Also, I’ve been scanning pictures from the good old days onto my new computer. And Stennie, you are in many of them! I can’t wait for you to see them!
Love you ladies. Don’t ever take the lack of comments as a reflection on the previous episode. You are always wonderful to listen to – I just sometimes fall behind. Smooch!
Don’t know if you’re doing a show this week or, if so, whether I’m too late (as usual), but here goes:
Watched THE DAMNED UNITED (based on your recommendations on top of Netflix’s suggestions we’d been getting for a while). Must say I was DAMNED IMPRESSED by it. And I could give a toss about soccer. What a great, and criminally underrated, film. Michael Sheen was amazing, if only because there was not a trace of Tony Blair to be seen or heard. Makes me really want to see FROST/NIXON.
After watching it, I’m not any more of a soccer/football fan, though I have started addressing my boys collectively as “lads,” complete with Clough’s/Sheen’s drawn-out bow-string cadences: “All right, laaahds. Time to get into the baath nowww-wuh.”
Good sound!
