Topics include: Awful Poetry w/ Zack, 90s high school fashions, Aaron’s “Star Trek” review, local news & the local news, Ben’s first drink, marching band, a bundle of Listener Imported stories & voicemails, links, and a TMU featuring old people abusing each other, a karate master, & more.
Also, it seems Listener Jamie has secretly been doing a 10 week personal study of the show!! All we can say is: “DUDE!”
Listener Jamie’s results:

Oh, and some kid did this to his own house:

Cock-a-doodle-roof.
UPDATE 5/18 – It seems there was a song that didn’t take during “the yearbook story” in this week’s TMU resulting in several seconds of silence. The problem has been resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Aaron-I’m so glad you did a review of Star Trek-I went last week, but don’t remember anything as I drank too much. Apparantly, I was the most interesting part of the movie as I had a running commentary which primarily consisted of me saying “What the hell is going on?”

I’m glad my try-not-to-spoil-anything review was helpful. I’m also glad I was not in your theater, as I would have stood up & swore at you for talking.

Hey Aaron,
It’s been so long, I don’t think I’ve seen you since 2002 at ‘Acquire the Fire’;
the other day I stumbled across your show through Mark Driscoll and his ITUNES listener recommendations,
although I find you to be very smart and well spoken, I am a little concerned that your show isn’t glorifying to the Lord,
Aaron, always remember that life is like a ring, and that He, the Lord, Abba Father… is the true Ultimate Warrior, Referee, and in the end the only Undertaker that matters. And if we forget that HE is our Manager, lose sight of the fact that we are HIS Elizabeth, or step outside of HIS ring, we are likely to be Bushwacked.
Blessings.

Mary, careful who you ‘Hmmmmm’
Yes, you are correct that Gordon is the first name of Sting the musician, but do you really think that he his a Christian, would write using wrestling metaphors or listen to Mark Driscoll, sorry but I think not.
The comment posted above is from ‘Sting’ the wrestler.
Booooyaaaaa!

I wish Sting would write songs using wrestling metaphors:
“Every Chair You Break”
“Don’t Slam So Close to Me”
“Englishman on Monday Night RAW”
“De Do Do Do, Da DDT”
“Message in a Throttle”
“Desert Rope”
“McMahon”

HOW TO: Organize this thread so you can follow a conversation.
If you want to reply directly to someone’s post, hit the clickable word “Reply” right under their comment. That way, your message will magically show up right under theirs, slightly indented. It’s science.
Also, it makes it easier for people who are reading all this awesomeness to follow what’s going on.

I heard Science was a conspiracy created to fight Jesus. That’s the word on the internets. Or maybe the iraq. One of those places.

That’s why only pagans go to college. The more you learn, the more anti-Jesus you are…should have realized that before I enrolled.

I think so as both Ben and Aaron have said sexual things about him in the past-glad they are so open minded.
Speaking of sex—all three gentleman in the poll would prob infect-fleas, STDs, whatever. You know they have all been around-

The parents didn’t figure out the wang painting from google maps, they figured it out when a helicopter tour pilot started hovering over their house so his passengers could take pictures. Which makes it way more awesome, IMO.
