tom and i forgot to take a photo for the show this week
and also i was having computer problems and couldn't get
this image of david gustavson gustavson's poop truck to
open on my phone so i decided to take a photo of it and use
that. also i don't think 'poop truck' was originally going to
be the title but now that it's the image, it wouldn't make
a lot of sense to just have a picture of a miscellaneous truck
without some kind of explanation. anyway, sorry if i'm
gushing a little bit here. i guess it's been kind of a weird
week for me and i feel like sometimes you just need to let
your feelings out so they don't just weigh you down.
anyway. better keep this brief. hope you have a great week
and enjoy the episode. i think it's a weird one but maybe
that's good. we can leave normal entertainment to traditional
TV and radio and whatnot. dare to be stupid etc.
signing off,
xrn
