Here, in the first episode of the new year, we learn a lot about William. His childhood. His dreams of fame. His vulgar-themed clothing. And the hay-rides… oh, the hay-rides.
Also, what listener can solve the mystery? What is the baby using? Only *you* can explain that to us.

Seriously, Peter Sagal wrote the prequel to Dirty Dancing!

Well done, sir! Well done, indeed..
Vampire Elk? Deadly goats? Badly trained people firing guns? Is this your Traveler game or something even sillier?
Per Wikipedia, Resident Evil can claim to its credit:
* 4 full lenght, live-action movies (with a fifth due out sometime in 2012)
* 1 GCI animated movie (with another also due out sometime in 2012)
* 1 short film (20 minute, stand alone)
Tony: Stop knocking explosions and tits, some of us really enjoy those!
The first time I ever heard about the Kardashians, I totally had the same thought as William (and was very confused as to why people were suddenly talking about the militant aliens from DS9).
What is the Baby Using? is just dumb. To make it slightly less dumb, I give you this FAQ.
My rating was a popularity thing. Also, cats rule the world and it’s rather pointless to rate them with any other species as they always come first.
<sarcasm>William knowing the historical reason behind something? Good Lord, Baby Zombie Jesus! There’s a surprise.</sarcasm> Seriously Tony, haven’t you figured out by now that the real reason William doesn’t go anywhere or do anything is that he’s trying to become the living version of Wikipedia by always researching random shit?
I remember Pi Day, not so much bringing in a pie so much as eating one. Though I know some chemists who insist that having a holiday for a number like that is silly. Though they do tend to celebrate Mole Day so there may be some jealousy involved there.
Yes, I am still listening!
My question was about fascinateors (those funny little British hats on headbands) and how they fit into the listener/hatling hierarcy, not facilitators.
Also, I knew the bit about the White vs Red Stockings.
Hm… perhaps I read the question wrong then. But I’m pretty sure the note I drew said facilitators. If it did say fascinateors, I don’t know what those are, so may addled brain must have made the adjustments it deemed necessary.
🙁
I’m still here! In fact, I forgot that I asked the question about seasons until it was pulled from the Hat this episode.
The Kardashians would probably be far more entertaining as aliens from Star Trek than they are in their current form. I will grudgingly admit to watching some reality TV, but wholeheartedly avoid shows about people who are famous for being famous.
Autumn is a good consensus on the best season of the year; it’s my favorite season too. I’m not as much into Halloween these days because I don’t get the candy, and I can’t steal it from my son anymore without him noticing—one of the down sides of him growing up. William and I have our favorite seasons in common, as autumn comes first, then winter, and I’m not a summer person at all. Like William, I actually looked forward to going back to school after summer vacation. I grew up in a rural area, so I wonder if it has something to do with that, as I recall that William has also experienced rural life. Favorite holidays are currently Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I think the hiearchy of the Hat is spot-on, with the addition of Tony’s cats behind the Producer; thus it should be the Hat, the Producer, Tony’s cats, William (maybe the cats are tied with William), then Tony. 🙂
Tied with the cats?! That can’t be right. But either way, please don’t tell the cats. They’ll kill me next time I’m over.
Yes. Yes, they will.
Cobblers. I listened late last night in bed, which means I’ve forgotten everything I was going to say. Luckily, some folk here have posted a few tidbits to remind me…
Actually, as much as Tony bangs on about tits and explosions, there’s a real lack of it these days (outside of HBO). You don’t get the random nudity of the 80s in films any more, and every film is just a generic CGI-fest these days, rather than clever explosive sequences. In my day, etc.
I laughed out loud when William thought the Kardashians was perhaps something to do with Deep Space 9. I can just imagine Gul Dukat strutting around the stage in a pink bra.
Anyway, favourite season. Full disclosure: the UK doesn’t have very distinct seasons like Iowa does. Outliers aside, it’s generally warm in the summer (in the 80s) and hovering around freezing in the winter. We’ll get snow every few years, for a couple of days, and you can get really crappy, oppressive rain all through the summer. Think Seattle, I’m told. Here in Iowa, though, it’s awesome! I’m still don’t tire of summer knocking around 100 degrees. Not only that, but you get the 4th of July, which is a fantastic day off work to lark around, shoot fireworks and eat even more cheeseburgers. So yeah, this is my favourite time of year.
Spring and Autumn are about the same. Got some fun holidays (Halloween is hilarious with kids, and Thanksgiving is all KINDS of amaze… sat around in my PJs eating myself into an early grave, watching the Cowboys getting spanked), and you get some really pleasant temperatures all the way into October if we’re lucky, not to mention everything turning those lovely shades of orange and red. Spring is great because of all the flowers and trees blooming. Where I’m from, in south Wales, there’s an awful lot of ever green trees and plants, so I’m used to green all year round. That means you avoid the kinda dirty brown appearance that you get here in Iowa at the start of Spring or end of Autumn, but it’s lovely when all the trees bloom (where Tony and I work, the path to one of the car parks turns pink in May from all the flower petals falling off the trees that lines it).
Winter sucks golf balls through 50 feet of hosepipe. I loved my first one because of the novelty of snow – I was like, wow, you get this every year! And then we got it every year I’ve been here (4 years), and I can’t think of anything more depressing than shoveling 6 inches of snow off the drive way in the dark before work, and then shoveling 6 inches of snow off the drive way in the dark when you get home from work before the damn car will go up the steep drive into the garage (I usually have to back the car up almost into the drive way of the house opposite, then floor it and leave Back To The Future-esque tyre tracks in the snow leading up into my garage). So yeah, Winter blows, except for Christmas, which rocks 🙂
What is William writing about? A Christmas Carol mixed with another story? And with noScrooge? Bah. Hum. Bug. I don’t get it.
I do however get that the baby is using 25. Len says hi.
You know Len? We were in a WoW guild together for awhile… 🙂
Wow! 🙂
