75% percent of it...  sorry I didn't sift through 15 pages of bad puns.   >:D

Why do you care if you don't even listen to the podcast?

The name chosen was Swindler's List.

In Alavan's defense, how many times did they actually run a Swindler's List segment?
I listen every week and I was actually about to ask if they have ever run it... oops, feel free to deride me too kind skeptics!  :laugh:

Swindler's List > Scamalot > everything else.

I'm using the argument from "I won, therefore I'm better than you." But Scamalot would have been just as amusing, if less [potentially] offensive.

So, did you ever get your swag?

Panda could try the human microphone in forum form.  She posts here "I want my swag Jay!"  and everyone quotes her and PMs it to Jay  >:D.

D'oh!

:D

I was going to just eventually buy a new SGU shirt because I want to support the SGU financially, but that money's going towards my new computer. So, take that, Jay. >:(

Wow.  I listen to the podcast obsessive compulsively.   They seem like nice people - doesn't transfer to forums that well, I'm learning.  Maybe I took a phone call when they ran the segment, maybe I got pulled over by a cop and turned my radio down at that time - I don't know but what ever you do never give anyone the benefit of the doubt.

You got one snarky response and a bunch of nice ones. If you think this is bad, you shouldn't go anywhere else on the internet...  ;)

It's just a t-shirt.  I wouldn't go so far as to say all that.  Jay's a busy guy who barely makes it on the forums; I'm sure he just forgot.  All our bitching is mostly in jest as I don't really think there are any hard feelings.

He's not bitching about Jay. He's upset because I asked him if he'd read the thread before posting his question about the name of the new segment even though Jay's post with the name in it was only a couple of pages before his question.  My bad.

Or it could have been Chew's response. Just sayn'.  ;)
