To quote Blazing Saddles:
"Qualifications?"
"Rape, murder, arson, and rape."
"You said rape twice."
"I like rape."
So awesome that Chrissie and Adam came over. I had a blast and I hope the listeners enjoy it.
I know we bashed some of the nominees and voters, but it was all in the name of fun. We really appreciated the turnout and hope you guys stick around to contribute to the forum and next year's nominination process.
2010 IS THE YEAR OF THE BIN!
Fantastic show. The voicemails were really cool too, great job grand poobah.
Another great show as always guys. Wow, I won something again. I am like a Dollar Bin prize magnet. I'm starting to feel a little guilty about this. You guys provide me with hours of entertainment and tons of comic knowledge and I get paid for it. Maybe I have a future as a professional podcast listener.
Enjoyed the show, guys! Thanks!
Why not add a few awards for MINI Comics next year? A good chunk of your members actually do them, may make sense to integrate them into the awards show...
Another good show. Sorry I didn't watch the videos before now. That's a sweet sketch of Captain America that Francisco Francavilla drew for y'all. The sketch that Chrissie Zullo drew was also very nice. Seeing the drawing process was very shway.
Great show! I do have to agree that I don't view Big Bang Theory as comic related media. Just because they reference comic books doesn't put them in the same category as Batman: Arkham Asylum (whoo hoo!) and whatnot. If that's the case then you should also nominate every Kevin Smith film, any Everybody Loves Raymond episode with Chris Elliot's character, etc. Anyhoo, look forward to next year's awards!
At least I won randomly.
How do I get my loot?
I second the Mini-comic idea!!
J Chris, I'll hook you up next time I see you or I can mail them to you. Someone gave me a bunch of mini comics a couple months back I can give you. :) (Just kidding, I got some kid's comics for you mostly)
Fine, Mini-Comics Awards it is!
