Audible Althouse #66.
This podcast has a morbid theme! Yet somehow I fall prey to hysterical laughter at one point. You've been warned.

I like the hidden bonus track. Just like on some of the early pressings of Nirvana's Nevermind.
hilarious, althouse
Yea, I'm with Russell. Matchbox 20 I think had a hidden bonus track at the end of its first CD. I feel like an idiot for continuing to listen for 10 minutes.

Wha...
LOL. I was just typing "What bonus track?" above when the Audible Althouse theme song blasted through my speakers. The podcast finished 10 minutes ago and I didn't notice that the track was still playing. Ending morbid with a scare. Are you trying to kill us?
I love how something that is not particularly hilarious will sometimes hit the correct spots and cause a fit of laughter. I just had this experience a week or so ago, while watching this video. I was completely incapacitated for 5 minutes. And hey, it's kind of morbid too, at least in an indirect way. I think this creature should be sent to Switzerland.
Sorry about the "bonus track." I didn't see that clip. Should I fix it and substitute a new version or will that screw everything up? I won't let it happen again.
Palladian: That clip made me sad! That animal is so unhappy and must have suffered something terrible in the past.
Look, you guys have to learn: the right present for a woman is: jewelry. Period. Not a sweater. Not a book. Not a gadget. Jewelry.
Haven't heard it yet. But you laugh so very well. It's something to look forward too.
Good podcast, keep them coming.
Or not, whichever you find more edifying.
Now to head over to bloggingheads and see how that went.
That was kind of a method actor's podcast, a bring it out of yourself sort of thing. I can dig it and see why you would be nervous. I always thought complaining about cafeteria food was kind of an honor thing, defend your home and mother and all. It wasn't about a real comparison of the food. Then also I went to a seminary camp for a week when I was a kid, communicated to my mother that I had arrived by asking for a bogus individual on a Person to Person call. Lost 12 pounds because I couldn't get seconds on the cafeteria food, not being in the distributors coterie I figured. As far as the Pope's 'manipulation,' I enjoyed the smoothness of his transitions. Quoting Paleologus about Mohammed adding 'only evil or inhumane' things was, at least in part, to give, as it were stage directions, to Paleologus' comments, to tell you where he was coming from. The Pope identified them as 'brusque' in a way I think to indicate that, in themselves, they might lack a nuance or be misleading. However the comment about 'evil and inhumane' set up the next sentence as that of a critic nicely. In any event, now that the speech has been parsed, the word 'schlechte' which he used is 'bad' rather than 'evil,'to use the present blog, something like our view of stealing cafeteria food. Finally, Camus rather wonderfully said 'the first question of philosophy,' not necessarily the central or most insightful, was whether or not to commit suicide. It was in a way to say that before you can have perception you must have cathexis, interest or attachment. A way thus to live in the philosophical history of Kant and Freud.
