Following a brief hiatus, we’re back in The Lair, discussing: Alex’s cleanly shaven face, Mike’s baby-naming dilemmas, Star Trek IV: The One With The Whales, and the start of an excellent online article, all about the Sexiest Ways to Die. Unfortunately, technical issues get in the way of us completing the list, but don’t worry, we’ll be back early next week with Part Two, and hopefully The Desert Panther in tow.

T.I.P.S! 141 Rise of the Planet of the Godzillas

Thu, 09 Aug 2012 09:58:11 -0400

We are pleased to welcome comics maker and rival podcaster, Ian Boothby into The Lair to discuss a number of topics: The origins of Ronald MacDonald, a creepy man who rose from the trash-heap. 1998’s thrilling big-budget Godzilla starring action-hero Matthew Broderick, who bravely asserts man’s rightful place of dominance on the planet. Also: there’s a Renaissance Festival happening in Maryland the same weekend as the Small Press Expo. Should Mike go? Should he buy a fine-pewter book-stand there, to use at his table to display mini-comics?

T.I.P.S! 140 - Tale As Old As Time

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 08:13:02 -0400

True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

T.I.P.S! 139 - Bulls

Thu, 26 Jul 2012 10:36:52 -0400

A frank discussion about Bullies and the Natural Order of Things, plus: Alex has some tips on some excellent “bulls” you may want to play on your target nerd, if you happen to be the Bull-ee, not the Bull-ied. Also, an update on some breaking inflatable doll news out of China, our love of people who become geologists, and some spoilers about the upcoming London Olympics opening ceremonies (hint: we’ve heard a 100 acrobats are going to dress as Benny Hill and do that funny fast walk thing while an orchestra triumphantly plays Yackety-Sax).

T.I.P.S! 138 The Generation Gap, feat. Tony Consiglio

Thu, 19 Jul 2012 10:59:06 -0400

The Desert Panther, Tony Consiglio, joins us once again, as we struggle to explain the Generation Gap. It’s actually quite interesting: Tony was given a test at his day job where the workers were given phrases, and had to identify which generation the speaker came from. I am not sure why the company thinks Tony can’t tell the difference between a Millennial and a Baby Boomer by noticing that one of them has grey hair and a paunchy belly and is 65 years old, and the other one has too much self-esteem. Either way, it’s a good quiz. Plus! A new story about someone sitting on a toilet for a long period of time.

Mike is on assignment down at the J’ore so Alex returns to the Bantha’s Den for another round of STAR WARS chit-chat, this time with Josh Flanagan. Why do the prequels make people so angry? Is George
Lucas really more machine, now, than man? Speaking of which, what’s the deal with Lobot anyway? If you aren’t sick of STAR WARS yet you will be by the end of this one.
