Bite-Size version available here.

Disc 2 starts off inauspiciously as our heroes have been imprisoned by the nefarious Sorceress! What horrors await them at the not-so-tender mercies of Seifer and his electric bed? Is there any hope of rescue from this mobile, subterranean prison, or will its anti-magic field spell doom?

Busted!

Looks like I won’t be a MythBuster.

I was contacted a little while ago about some possible sponsorship opportunities with the Discovery Channel. Apparently they were looking for some people to film some tie-ins to Mythbusters, and people-who-know-people asked if I had any ideas to pitch for SCIENCE-based content– Myths to bust, prompting viewers to visit the Discovery website and submit their own myths, that kind of thing.

I said, “SCIENCE? Do I have the guy for you!”

Sadly, while the people I talked to were very enthusiastic about my ideas, it seems Discovery was going in an entirely different direction. It’s a shame, too. I was never going to be on the set with Adam & Jamie even if I’d scored the gig, but there was potentially a fair amount of money in it, and I thought the whole mad scientist thing would really wow ‘em. Seemed like a good fit, the way the promotion was described to me.

Oh well. Maybe they were afraid Doctor Insano would run around on Meerkat Manor testing the myth “can meerkats dodge golf clubs?”

Yeah, I know, I’m whoring myself out for cash. I’d sell out for a sandwich and gas money. You don’t want to know what I’d do to get some of that phat MythBusters money.

Special Plague Edition (3-5-09)

You may not think having a cold is that debilitating, but you don’t have a nose as big as mine! The common cold becomes a mucus blockage of epic proprotions, and the first thing to go is the ability to breathe while sleeping. Focus goes next, and with it, comedy!

But the irrational anger never dies…
