Chatting with Max and Alice #2

Flush from their first foray into podcasting, we recorded this one the very next day.

Alice talks a lot about AdventureTime and Regular Show, and what makes those shows so awesome! I tried to change the subject a couple of times, but nothing doing. (Sidenote: Alice hasn’t seen either of these shows for several months now…)

Max geeks out about Starbound, a computer game that he and play from time to time. He also talks some about his own video game ideas. The world is not ready for Coo Coo Clocks and Dynamite Falling from the Skies!

I had a lot of fun with this one, and mostly just tried to get out of their way.

Clambering Down the Road

Scaziblap con Graff stared at the road, the road gilded with lilies or whatever. It was not really gilded with lilies, not even the kind carved from wrought iron or marble, but still it was a pretty nice road. Clork, S.c.G.’s sidekick, amanuensis, and personal gadfly, snickered and poked himself in the ribs.

“Wha…?” S.c.G. said.

Clork stammered in a way that was impossible to represent in written language. “Clobbler blabber dysphasia junk rock Jubba gubba toop!”

“Have you, I mean, have we, I mean, you understand? Oh why’d we eat that moldy toast?” wailed S.c.G.

The fractal lampshade turned inside out to look at them and pointed some boneless tasseled fingers at them. That glance spoke novels. Too bad they were all in German, a language with which neither of them were familiar.

Doughnuts rained down. The two chums danced with glee, tromping, jelly swooshing out everywhere.

Finally, they hugged, sobbing under the grey-green light of the throbbing lampshade. The road rose up to meet them, hissing and rattling.

Chatting with Max and Alice #1

I can’t imagine this will have much interest to anyone who doesn’t already know Max and Alice.

Tonight, Max saw me fiddling around with a podcast app on my phone. I described what a podcast is, and then he wanted to record a podcast and put it online. I am here obliging.

Mostly, we talk about Minecraft. About 10 minutes in, Alice joins in the fun.

If you are easily offended by poop talk, best not to listen.
