Hey, are you June Cleaver's mom, by chance? That'd explain a lot.

No, she's my mistress.
I wasn't sure if those were mutually exclusive categories in your case.

I was on my way to see him in concert on L.I. when word came in he'd died. Car accident if I recall correctly.Yes.Did Harry Chapin die before seeing The Empire Strikes Back?What's that noise? ...
Oh, yeah. It's Harry Chapin spinning in his grave.
Damn, man. Sort of like Jeremy Mullins falling off a cliff not three weeks after I'd been accepted to SCAD.
A friend of mine (who also happened to be my high school music teacher) actually gave Harry Chapin a ride to one of his own gigs back in the sixties. Apparently, the guy didn't have a car, and had been taking the subway all over New York to perform.

Oh, and by the way, I has new microphone. Unfortunately, this also means all you Atomic Array guys are going to be getting more contest entries from me.Well then let the field shudder in fear, because your entries have all been slicker than Dapper Dan and that is no lie.
Pomade Vendor: I can get the part from Bristol. It'll take two weeks, here's your pomade.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Two weeks? That don't do me no good.
Pomade Vendor: Nearest Ford auto man's Bristol.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Hold on, I don't want this pomade. I want Dapper Dan.
Pomade Vendor: I don't carry Dapper Dan, I carry Fop.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, I don't want Fop, g+~#*%n it! I'm a Dapper Dan man!
Pomade Vendor: Watch your language, young feller, this is a public market. Now if you want Dapper Dan, I can order it for you, have it in a couple of weeks.
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity. Two weeks from everywhere!
Ulysses Everett McGill: I don't want FOP Damn it, I'm a Dapper Dan Man!
Ulysses Everett McGill: Well, it didn't look like a two-horse town, but try finding a decent hair jelly.

Ed’s Pick: Above by Mad Season
Rone’s Rant: “The Vultures of Mourning”
As always, giveaways abound!
Good show again, guys! As usual, you had a "dearth" of information and laughs. I'll be picking this up, especially since it's in the same vein as Castle Amber, and I'll be waiting for the sequel The Curséd Chapeau.
I kinda know how you feel about the vulturing. My grandmother got moved out of her house that she's lived in for 45 years and is living in a retirement home. My dad called and asked if there was anything I "wanted". It didn't feel right to me to take anything of hers, so I declined.

Thanks, Taig. I really like your sequel title! Maybe there's a demonic cat in the hat, and from that hat we'll go to a cursed hairpiece so the third installment can be called Hell Toupee.
BTW, I'm petitioning Webster to change the definition of dearth. They said no but then I threw in a sawbuck and a half eaten tiramisu and discovered those guys had strange tastes and could be bought off cheap.
I so hear you on your last point. For me the only way to deal with that sort of possession raiding the recently passed and aged is to take nothing and keep walking.

Mike Meyers can easily play the evil cat in the hat. <Shudders just thinking about that movie>
Yeah, the Webster's guys will do anything for a tiramisu. At least, that's what I've read on Wikipedia.
I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, but thanks to Ed, I've discovered a group that I missed the first time around. That was good stuff.
Short show, but I enjoyed it. James M. is a good guest.
Man, I really feel the pain of Mourning + Screwy Relative, Rone, as well the persistence of mourning. Relatives can be screwy so many different ways around death, and there may be some that are worse than the materialistic thing, though that is plenty rotten and rant-worthy.
For nine months after my mom died, I wore black, and when not wearing black, wore black arm bands. It made some people really uncomfortable.

When did losing our mothers become something to react uniformly to? I wouldn't blame you for wearing an arm band to this day. Spend ten years crafting a sculpture in her honor, or write an ongoing ode. If someone is important to me, they'll always be important to me, even if they pass on. I'll never "let go of it," nor do I consider that a noble response.
On a similar note: the way some people advise a widow or widower one year after the death of their spouse that they should "get out there, it's been long enough" and suggest going to meet markets and hooking up has always shocked me. What some people consider healthy...

YES. I still miss my grandparents, and they died long ago. If people loved you, and you loved them, and they were great people, and one of those primary relationships...well, there are just some losses you don't get over. Don't even get me started on widowers...
But my mom's death was definitely the worst thing loss I've ever experienced.
I just assumed Rone was mocking Ed the whole time. (Curse Ed!)
I have decided, however, that my teasing of Ed about a certain incident will now come to an end.
Just sent in latest submission (for the Curs-ed Chateau giveaway). It kinda sucks. Sorry.
Well this was my week to screw up. There was no apostrophe but I naturally put one there anyway... I think cuz I really wanted to say curse'd.
Thanks for your submission. Ed hasn't sent it to me yet but I have yet to hear you kind of sucking at anything.
Awww. man! I can't believe I missed this. With all of the Shenanigans on Saturday I forgot it was AA Day (damn you all being a day behind!). I coulda listened to this in the car this morning on my way to and from work. Just have to wait 'til tomorrow now for my AA Fix. :)
Out show went out a little late on Friday... around five PM east coast US time. I blame Ed. Always feels better that way,

I look forward to listening to this on Monday on my way to and from work.
Hope you like it, taig... A lot of silly holiday change-ups in this one. It was a lot of fun to orchestrate.
A very special mystery guest comes knocking like bondage-fetishist Jacob Marley at episode 37's door. -thulu.
I'm really proud of Lou, because though this adventure's sales were strong right out of the gate, Snows of an Early Winter has gained rockin' market traction ever since. WTG, dude. I'm always happy to see hard, talented work rewarded. And by rewarded (in the RPG industry) I mean, "Here's a sawbuck, kid. Don't spend it all in one place." (followed by obligatory mussing of Lou's hair)
Ah, but I jest. Most RPG authors are actually paid six dollars a word. Clinton Boomer's efforts in the last year alone bought him that Leir Jet of his. Can't believe he painted it to look like the Partridge family bus. And who names their fancy airplane blumpkin anyway?
I linked the adventure title above to the Paizo store. Forgot to do that in the earlier post, which is most assuredly why I received a lump of coal for Xmas and a whole mess of guilt for Hanukkah. So if any of ya is consid'rin buy dis NYC Lovecraftian horror ride (which perfectly sums up my last Manhattan subway experience), get it from Paizo or the reindeer gets it!
Another great show, guys. Please continue programming for whatever is going on in my life: my return tour of NYC was perfectly matched by Agresta's Manhattan Mythos Madness. (And I bet you knew with TOR.com's holiday theme as well.) Tip of the tentacle to you, Lou. The holiday song cracked me up, btw. In short, the last leg of my drive from NY to DC would have been unbearable without it.

Very kind of you to say, Mairkurion. I promise we will continue to monitor your comings and goings and adjust our content to be harmonious with them. I'm glad we could help in any way to make your five+ hour trip a little less monotonous.
The end song, "golem golem golem, I made you out of clay..." that one seems to have really stuck in people's heads (and I'm not sure they're happy about it because they sound kinda angry when they relate this to me). Lou's young daughter heard it in the car and asked him to play it seven times. "I wanna hear the ladies!" <G> That's me alright... the ladies.
Both of them are pure comedic gold. The first one perfectly captures the schmaltzy Xmas ballad. "Golem, golem, golem!" I'd love to hear in an extended Paizan cut.

Thanks for another great podcast. I listened to this one during one stretch of the 20 or so hours I drove the past five days. Also, to test my bias, I downloaded a bunch of other podcasts from other folks. I still stick by my opinion that Atomic Array is the best gaming podcast.
You're almost completely right, Daigle. I occasionally enjoy other podcasts, but the only real competition AA has are those three guys from over at Open Design. Although, right now I think they suck because they gave my original Tony diTerrlizi to somebody else.

Yeah, those ODP guys are a menace. They had no right denying you what was yours. We should seriously kick deys' asses down the block and back. Of the three hosts, that longhair blatherskite Rone gets on my nerves and won't let go like a koala baby covered in velcro sauce. I wish I could hop in a time machine and go play tetherball with his mom's pregnant belly, shouting between slaps, "What I do now I do for all mankind! End justifies the means and all that..."
And if he doesn't like what I just said let him come to my mirror and tell me so to my face. Hey, I think I just violated 3 of 5 rules in one fell swoop!

And a subtle nod towards HPL would have done so. In fact a movie that is good and scary and has a subtle reference would be rock on solid as a good choice.
The old Mummy movies in black and white that were made a sort of sequels to the original mummy is perhaps the best I have seen.
Thanks, Mairkurion! If you ever run it, I'd love to hear your play report!
You're welcome, Lou. And now for my secret.
