I’m trying to style my hair like Carl’s from the pre-show video. No luck duplicating it. Damn it…
csjameson Woo hoo!
Carl Sinclair I like to “like’ a comment when I see Cyndi has “liked” it because I think our two little pictures look cute together.
Wassup!!
billdowis Wassup, Mr. D!
Let’s do this.
Nicholas Kahler Nick!!!

Hello, all. Any Bigfoot sightings in your journeys here?
csjameson melissadonovan Yeah! What she said!
xgranville Please see the pre-show
Eric Guindon Greetings.
Eric Guindon I was just listening to Siege Perilous and realizing that I’ve been pronouncing your name all wrong. You said it… like ‘Ganon’ from the Legend of Zelda, which is way cooler than what I thought.
comin atchya!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
xgranville No Bigs, but I did have a conversation with a cat once.
I think Carl’s hair was a flaming hint that he has Sasquatch DNA . . . .just saying.
BuddyGott csjameson Crack open the bubbly!
BuddyGott jlward I KNOW! And he doesn’t even NEED PANTS! I mean, I’m not wearing any.
Pull the trigger Sinclair!
melissadonovanRegarding Melissa showing up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY
Trish McCallan I think he’s Sasquatches daddy.
Carl Sinclair xgranville I was entertained for sure.
jlward You have won my heart. R.E.M. is my all-time favorite band ever.
Cats talk to me, so I’m sure Sasquatch exists.
csjameson Trish McCallan Who’s your squatch daddy?
The Scottish man looking for Nessie was paid in beer.
csjameson … cause he told you, and that makes total sense.
csjameson Saben Sasquatch?
csjameson xgranville Cats are crazy animals for sure. But watch out for future Squatches.
David comes early?
Nicholas Kahler csjameson Trish McCallan Bigfoot is my father and he’s got to protect…ME!
xgranville I believe Cryptoids exist. that needs to be a tshirt
I love the Apple trackpad or whatever it’s called.
hello everyone

GOOD GRIEF CARL! It’s a ROUNDTABLE! lol Not a Carltable
Neil Gaiman tested piracy and found that when his books were pirated, his sales went up. Here’s a video of him talking about it:
<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/0Qkyt1wXNlI” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
xgranville csjameson WadeFinnegan YAY! I was clear.
melissadonovan Yeah, he’s a great success story as far as an author who was against piracy and and now is all for it. A lot of money can be generated by borrows/torrenting
I love the way Dave can make everything sexual
melissadonovan Neil is awesome.
David Anson Some people have that gift.
It’s okay! I’m here! We can start the show now.
… let’s not forget ‘sheep’ Carl.
Nicholas Kahler or donkeys…
Nicholas Kahler Oh…Carl never forgets sheep.
xgranville David Anson Some people are well-endowed with that gift.
BuddyGott Nicholas Kahler NEVER forgets the donkeys.
http://selfpublishingadvice.org/blog/indie-author-watchdog-warning-writers-and-artists/
BuddyGott melissadonovan Indeed he is. I just started American Gods today, actually.
shroudbetween welcome
shroudbetween BuddyGott melissadonovan OMG! You’ll LOVE IT!
shroudbetween BuddyGott melissadonovan I loved that book.
BuddyGott shroudbetween melissadonovan Awesome book. Read it twice over a summer just to reeallly let it sink in.
I guess there’s no chance that you can all pause the show for 5 minutes while I make a sandwich, huh?
BuddyGott Yes, we should all stop for sammiches
BuddyGott Only if you make me one too. You do deliveries to Canada, right?
BuddyGott I want one.
crissymoss BuddyGott Sure, Crissy’s close to Canada, so I can deliver to both her and X.
BuddyGott crissymoss I like the way this is going.
BuddyGott crissymoss We should build on this haha.
xgranville BuddyGott crissymoss I just like that you’re new nickname is Professor X.
I would read Coraline to my child. I’d hope they’d be smart enough to deal with it ;p
xgranville BuddyGott shroudbetween melissadonovan I got the full production audio book, and listen to it at work. I’m on chapter five already. Really good so far, I’m enjoying it.
xgranville Don’t ever have children. Ever.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57604893-93/author-pleads-please-dont-buy-my-new-novel-on-amazon-q-a/ – don’t buy his book.
Nicholas Kahler xgranville This generation coddles their kids a little too much. If we can’t hit our kids, we better scare em! haha yeah I’m going to hell
xgranville Nicholas Kahler agreed.
Nicholas Kahler xgranville BuddyGott crissymoss Call me Wheels; cuz that’s how I roll.
Greetings and Salutations…. running a little late tonight.
xgranville Dude, Coraline is a scary book.
sryeager Welcome!
sryeager Hey Steve!
sryeager STEEEVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Reminds me of when The Doobie Brothers stopped a concert when Rerun was caught recording it.
http://www.kboards.com/index.php/topic,163589.0.html
BuddyGott Wow… good memory. Either that or you watch those odd throwback channels.
sryeager BuddyGott Both. Lol
sryeager Howdy sir!
jlward xgranville So is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or The Witches.
BuddyGott Carl Sinclair Of course we do!
Grimm’s Fairy Tales, even. Neil Gaiman is just contemporary fairy tales.
They were bookbub ads that Phoenix Sullivan took out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5mZ0R3h8m0
Now I want brownies. Damn it…
Trish McCallan Sorry, Trish, I was getting ready to bring up your point, but they ended the topic too soon.
BuddyGott Shut up and eat your sandiwich.
BuddyGott We make good brownies here in California.
BuddyGott I’m about to eat a Snickers.
melissadonovan BuddyGott Hungry? Grab a Snickers.
Most languages are actually spoken even…I think…I don’t know Carl has confused me.
csjameson Not made up ones. There isn’t enough context & words normally.
csjameson Suffering slight brain dabblage?
csjameson No one can trust what you say… because you speak cat.
I wish I had the patience to invent a language. I think it would take me a century.
I’ve actually developed a phonetically sound language for a novel. Not actual words, grammar, and all that, but consistent enough to make people THINK I had =P
melissadonovan But then after all that effort you could claim that you are a cunning linguist!
melissadonovan George R.R. Martin said at a conference that he only created like 7 words in Dothraki for his books, and that he wouldn’t bother with more unless he needed them.
Nicholas Kahler csjameson Meow!
csjameson Nicholas Kahler Hell yeah, I will.
Nicholas Kahler csjameson Meow meow meeeeeeeeoooowwwwwww 😉 ammiright? meow?

csjameson Nicholas Kahler Right meow.
Carl Sinclair … from Mark LaFlavor.
Nicholas Kahler csjameson OH gawd meow!
Nicholas Kahler csjameson Am I going to go to jail for bearing witness to this transaction?
Did WadeFinnegan just say he was up and coming?
xgranville Nicholas Kahler csjameson I didn’t meow I was meowing her the meow. But now that you mention it…
Australia gave us the Bee Gees.
I’m still waiting for Carl to get me an autographed Men At Work cd.
melissadonovan And do you feel that this is a good or a bad thing?
melissadonovan Three Gibb brothers. You’re welcome, world.
melissadonovan Sorry. Just trying to keep the comment Stayin’ Alive.
Actually, I might be wrong about that. (?)
melissadonovan Yeah, I couldn’t make it work. I’ll stop now.
jlward melissadonovan I’m down with the Bee Gees. If I can dance to it, then it’s all good.
jlward melissadonovan You started a joke that made the whole world start crying.
xgranville jlward melissadonovan My work here is done.
jlward xgranville melissadonovan But I couldn’t see…that the joke was on meeee…..
They weren’t born in Australia but according to Wikipedia, they started their musical careers there.
melissadonovan Darn!
melissadonovan Australia helped us RECOGNIZE the Bee Gees.
Netflix is evil. I never watched TV until Netflix started streaming. Now I’m an addict.
melissadonovan Me too. Got addicted to Arrested Development recently on there.
BuddyGott melissadonovan Netflix is crack.
melissadonovan House of Cards?
I want you folks to know that you CAN NOT FIND this type of insightful commentary anywhere else. Well, maybe on a bathroom wall somewhere, but certainly not in a podcast.
melissadonovan I quit watching TV for over ten years until netflix…
jlward CERTAINLY not a podcast. But that’s why we’re all here =D
jlward It’s not hard. Especially since we all pay so close attention. 😉
jlward We’re the grunting noises and heaving moans from the next stall. Except for Carl, who’s got a ‘baaa’ sound and hooves clapping against the divider.
Nicholas Kahler melissadonovan Loved that show.
Nicholas Kahler melissadonovan Yep, House of Cards, LOST, Star Trek, West Wing, Stargate. Now I’m watching some show called Brothers and Sisters.
House of Cards is twisted.
http://yearoftheindie.blogspot.com.au/2013_09_01_archive.html
sryeager Nicholas Kahler melissadonovan I would inject it through my eye into my brain if I could. So good.
Nicholas Kahler sryeager melissadonovan Great, after Supernatural, I’ll have to watch that.
csjameson Nicholas Kahler sryeager melissadonovan It will blow your meow.
Nicholas Kahler csjameson sryeager melissadonovan That good huh? Meow.
csjameson jlward It’s kind of hard to pay attention and interact in the comments. I just need practice I guess.
Nicholas Kahler sryeager melissadonovan I would totally mainline Lost.
melissadonovan csjameson jlward Dude, tell me about it. Try being on the show while doing all of that stuff.
melissadonovan Nicholas Kahler sryeager There’s a halfway house for those of us who are still recovering.
Nicholas Kahler melissadonovan sryeager I don’t know if I want to recover.
melissadonovan Netflix is like heroin.
crissymoss I LOVE YOU!
Zach said I was cute. Odd, but I’ll take a compliment wherever I can.
jlward *gasp* I’m so proud of you!
BuddyGott Love knows no boundaries.
csjameson jlward What? Why? What did I do?
My understanding too, with Joe Nobody, was that he’d got his start by pitching his books to some how to blogs with huge subscribers lists.
BuddyGott You should have known you were playing with fire by shaving.
jlward csjameson *sniffs* You know what you did.
Trish McCallan By far the most the relevant comment provider of us all. McCallan the Merciless.
Nicholas Kahler Trish McCallan Agreed.
I think that’s pretty fair, actually. Critique the book, not the author. I like it. It’s like getting those 1 stars and the review is “My Kindle broke and lost the file and I had to redownload it!”
Brag, Dave! Brag!
thedavidwwright Great job, sir! Let the boost in sales boost your ego
shroudbetween It might have been better when they were allowed to give low ratings for author behavior. Now they’ll just give the book a low rating and they won’t say what the real reason is (they don’t like the author or are bullies).
Nicholas Kahler Trish McCallan LOL- Trish’s merciless brain can’t think up smartass remarks as fast as everyone else.
melissadonovan shroudbetween On the author’s profile or something, sure, but to rate a book low for reasons that have nothing to do with the book doesn’t work
thedavidwwright Unleash the berserker.
xgranville thedavidwwright Dave goes Hulk. Wait for it…
shroudbetween melissadonovan I agree it’s wrong. It’s not a valid critique. I’m just saying that now those people will leave the same low ratings but they won’t give the real reason.
Nicholas Kahler xgranville thedavidwwright My work here is done.
Nicholas Kahler xgranville thedavidwwright Don’t make me goth. You wouldn’t like me when I’m goth…
Warning: it’s not safe to talk about Lost around me. I get fanatical.
xgranville thedavidwwright I love to get him going.
melissadonovan My kinda person!
BuddyGott melissadonovan I had a little obsession problem with that show.
melissadonovan Did you enjoy the ending, Melissa?
jlward melissadonovan Yes, I loved it.
melissadonovan jlward Oh, we should talk. I endured it, but I didn’t hate it.
melissadonovan jlward I liked the ending, but disliked the show on the whole. Wasn’t a fan of the “making it up as we go” feel it had each and every episode.
melissadonovan I loved season 1 of lost – the ending annoyed me. time travelling islands…
jlward melissadonovan I couldn’t keep up…I got lost.
So disappointed in AoS…. terrible.
thedavidwwright Tease us, Dave. Tease us for Game of Geeks haha.
jlward melissadonovan Yeah, I love talking about Lost. Anytime!
Here he goes!
melissadonovan jlward Dave is the Hurley of this show…..well, a little grumpier.
shroudbetween melissadonovan jlward I’ve watched it five times and I don’t see how they could have been making it all up. There’s too many connections, foreshadowing, etc. They made some of it up, but I think they had the major mileposts planned in advance.
csjameson I could tell it was coming on once he said “I’m in my forties…”
xgranville csjameson And he rocks in his chair like he’s gotta wind himself up for it.
Carl Sinclair melissadonovan Season one was the best.
Do you think Carl’s racism extends to black sheep?
Fortunately, I only watched 35 minutes of episode two before I turned it off in favor of doing laundry.
Nicholas Kahler Of course
AFTER PARTY!
Nicholas Kahler I’ll do any sheep, black or white.
I need to make the live show more often. It was fun! Sadly, now I have to go work. Deadlines tomorrow!
Carl Sinclair Nicholas Kahler Not goats, though, correct?
csjameson I may actually be able to partake this time! Gotta check on the baby, brb…
xgranville Carl Sinclair Nicholas Kahler Goats are too high maintenance.
melissadonovan You can’t come to our After Party? Bummer!
melissadonovan Love your website!
BuddyGott melissadonovan We’ll have to save the Lost discussion
melissadonovan Thanks for watching Melissa!
melissadonovan Carl Sinclair Yes, but I think Desmond added a lot to the show later on.
BuddyGott melissadonovan Someone needs to tell me more about this after party. But yeah, I was out all day, so I have to go do some work. Have fun guys!
melissadonovan BuddyGott Never been to one, but I hear that they are wild.
So, no after parry tonight, folks. Everyone is rushing off to go watch Grey’s Anatomy or something like that. Carl did want me to tell you all that he will be doing the usual Sunday hangout at 9 PM Easter Time.
jlward Bring your own chocolate eggs
Nicholas Kahler melissadonovan BuddyGott See ya, Melissa!
David Anson melissadonovan Thank you 🙂
Carl Sinclair jlward Sour grapes.
Carl Sinclair jlward We could still do one.
BuddyGott Carl Sinclair jlward Yeah you guys can go ahead – I have to go out in like 30 minutes, otherwise I would join you.
jlward Darn and here I am eating cheese.
Carl Sinclair BuddyGott jlward I have some time if anyone is up for it.
csjameson jlward I’m up for it.
xgranville Carl Sinclair BuddyGott jlward as Carl would say, we’re always up.
csjameson xgranville Carl Sinclair BuddyGott jlward Just let me put away my heroin paraphernalia.
xgranville csjameson Carl Sinclair BuddyGott jlward Is that code for super hero porn?
BuddyGott Carl Sinclair jlward I can’t tonight. Sunday sounds good though.
Trish McCallan BuddyGott Carl Sinclair jlward Anyone want to set it up?
BuddyGott csjameson jlward The cheese? or the chat?
xgranville BuddyGott csjameson jlward The drugs for all of us.
xgranville Carl Sinclair jlwardSour grapes? Don’t you mean Bitter Dregs?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6tJQ05YJ58
BuddyGott Trish McCallan Carl Sinclair jlward I think you do!
BuddyGott Trish McCallan Carl Sinclair jlward Scratch that….Xavier set up
csjameson BuddyGott Trish McCallan Carl Sinclair jlward I’m Scott Richards on G+ if you wouldn’t mind one more =)
shroudbetween What’s your avatar? There’s is a lot of Scott Richards
shroudbetween There’s is. Perfect English.
xgranville shroudbetween The cartoon of the kids telling the story in the lower half, with the fantasy characters in the upper half.
csjameson WadeFinnegan Only for you Cyndi
