maybe the rain isn't really to blame...

POLDI = OTPB!

I love the inappropriate uses of pie segment, and perhaps I may suggest a related one? A sort of "This Product Not Intended For..." and chronicle items used in ways not intended by the manufacturer.

6. Cristiano Ronaldo now resides in my World Cup blog.
9. An update on the latest episodes of shows, with a perspective of slash and OTPs.

1. Athletes without specific teams will of course be included. (although I do believe news of Alexei has been slow)
3. Sort of, maybe point out interesting things that happened, Resolved or Unresolved Sexual Tension, how the epi affects certain OTPs...
4. Certainly, movie picks. But I think it should be an all-around good movie, not "it sucked but Actor X was good/hot." That should be for the actor updates.
5. I like the idea of suggestive words, but I love unintentionally suggestive words. Like "plethora"
7. Agree on the email address
8. I agree on the music thing, but we might have trouble playing the music. There are things we can't play because they're copyrighted. We can't even sing them. But I think there is some kind of database full of music that can be played in podcasts. There should be some sort of excursion to find this mythical database.
9. I could go with a theme song, but I am musically retarded. So you would have to handle that. Maybe handbells?
10. Yeah, we need to make sure it's known what people will hear if they listen in...

I am frivolous with my money, so I probably have only about $80. But I can look into the kind of equipment we would need. Search for the best deal and such.

1. Yes, the theme should be decided first, then the motto and theme song and catch phrase.
1b. The motto = Latin, to make us sound refined, and the catch phrase = Spanish because it's easier to speak and sounds, generally, catchier.
2. I dunno about the diction. I'd like to forget diction ever existed. If you're married to the idea, however, we can go with it.
3. Do we have a segment about generally weird things in the news? If not, I think we should. Or a strangely worded headline, something like "Man beats boy with dog." But weirder.

REVIEW OF THE SEGMENTS AGREED UPON:
1. Poolboy of the Week
2. This Week in Pie
3. Sports/Athletes
4. People Only Haley Would Talk To
5. Motto/Catchphrase
6. Pretty Boys, and The Kissing Thereof
7. Fic Pimping and Recs
7b. OTP updates
8. Actor updates
9. Just Trust Us
10. Random Stuff We Thought You Should Know
11. Suggestive Word of The Day
12. This Week in Us
13. TV Updates
14. Movie Pick
15. Music Spotlight
Names and position in the lineup subject to change.

Once again, I concur

I love how we're already assuming we will have listeners... knowing us, there will be no one but a sketchy old man alone in the woods that thinks he has found his two true loves: us.

Then again, it might be a big hit. *crosses fingers to have listeners at all*

Anywho... Back to the podcast.


I have ascertained from your enthusiasm that you acquiesce to the Pool Boy Pick of the Week/ Honorary Pool Boy of the Week. We'll figure out what to call it. And of COURSE Poldi (i like that) is our OTPB (i like that too).

Choice pie locations are a must, and I feel that we should share recipes or techniques for best crusts and fillings. Also, things in our opinion that should never be done with pie. Like thrown in people faces at carnivals. It's such a waste.

I give in to your hair stipulation. I guess that would turnaway some of our listeners, eh?


List of things I agree to and are therefore now part of our podcast, although they may be altered at a later date:
1) HONORARY POOL BOY/ POOL BOY PICK OF THE WEEK
2) Kate's favorite sports teams
3) I shall do a segment on interesting people I meet and their odd quirks that I find amusing
4) Motto: discussed in the suggestions section
5) Catch Phrase: note above
6) I look forward to the wonder of Cristiano Ronaldo
7) Pretty boys kissing shall be a discussion point, as well as any other cute man on man action we choose to mention (keeping it PG-15, to be sure)
8) Fic pimpage and updates are a must, a portion of our show should involve reviewing fics, announcing updates, and reccing archives
8) b) We shall get together sometime soon and come up with the OTP master list
9) You shall have to explain more to me how you plan to go about with this...
10) By FAR there shall be actor updates: their movies set to be released and a short cover of memorable appearances and possible cult followings/fan bases
11) I LOVE this idea... pretty much it's an all out with anything involving fics, although I really enjoy this suggestion
12) I give the green light on "Random Stuff We Thought You Should Know"
13) Yes. A sort of word of the day, if you will...
14) Indeed, there should be a few minutes where we go over major happenings in our lives
(they are pathetic, aren't they)


And now, for something completely different: The SUGGESTION LIST!!!!:
1) I think athletes in general should be the focus of your sports segment, because we simply CANNOT ignore our love for Alexei Yagudin, and maybe offer certain routines to look up on youtube
2) Our motto and catch phrase should be thoughtof once we find an overriding theme of our podcast, because they should be related (just a thought)
3) I believe that in the tv show updates, we would be saying which new episodes were worth it and mock them in our own endearing kind of way? Giving light to any unrecognized sexual tension we feel should be taken care of? Is that what you meant?
4) There should be a movie pick, whether it be new or old. Just something we love and want to spread to the world. Independents would be good to pimp, although not all the movies we rec will be independent.
5) With the word of the day, I think there should be as many suggestive words as possible.
6) Possibly a diction error section. One word or phrase each podcast that people should try to avoid.
7) A contact e-mail address. nakedingermany or something like that. Yahoo, probably. But any e-mails we get that say bad things about us we can mention in our podcast. We can then correct the grammar of the twit who wrote it.
8) Music spotlight. Possibly a band we recommend, or even a song we adore that we will proceed to play while we rest our voices... teehee
9) I suggest we have a theme song... but that might not be the brightest idea...
10) We need to make it known that we are die hard slashers, so any and all OTPs will be man/man... a sort of disclaimer at the beginning, if you will...


If I come up with anything else, I'll let you know.

By the way, we're going to need equipment, so I think that sometime in August, after I pay my parents back with my camp check and my birthday money, we should start pooling our assets to get recording technology... I should have some money left after my b-day... that is if I get more than $200... because otherwise I'll still be in the red.

Do get back to me on these... I would hate to have to wait in anticipation (speaking of which, Rocky Horror and Tim Curry should come up somewhere in our podcast... sorry, that reminded me of rocky horror, because in the song "I Can Make You a Man" Tim Curry mentions shivering in "antici.........pation")

continuation of Haley's most excellent list

OH YES I CONCUR WITH PREVIOUS LISTS.

I am in total love with the "Honorary Pool Boy of the Week" segment. Total. Love.
But Poldi is the OTPB (One True Pool Boy)

Pie will, of course, be the official food of this podcast, and therefore we will have much honor. Also, I think we should sample pie at every opportunity, to bring our mythical listeners up to date on the best pie locations.

Can there be a stipulation? We do not discuss excess body hair, unless we have nothing else to talk about.

So... in list form:
1. *licks Guest Pool Boy segment*
2. I think we should have a segment about sports teams no one cares about (ie. the ones I root for)
3. You should do a segment about the interesting people you meet each week or whatever interval we do it at
4. We need a motto
5. And a catch-phrase
6. I must introduce you to the wonder of Cristiano Ronaldo
7. WHY won't the pretty boys kiss in front of us?!
8. Fandom updates? Fic pimp-age?
8. b) If 8 is going to happen, I think we should have an official OTP in each fandom for the podcast.
9. TV show updates with a fan-ish twist?
10. Actor updates?
11. If fandom creeps in, I think we should have a "Just Trust Us" segment where we introduce a pairing or fandom that sounds strange or that most people would be hesitant to try. We have to have at least one good fic to rec, and maybe some LJ communities to point listeners to.
12. A segment where we just babel, like we're in the Day Lounge. A sort of "Random Stuff We Thought You Should Know."
13. A segment where we spell a word. A new word every time, and we repeat it for... I dunno... a minute continuously.
14. Meaningless updates about our pathetic lives.

You don't even have to know how to read to enjoy our whimpering excuses for existance!

Note:

I feel that a few things should be made clear in our podcast:

In a perfect world:

1) There would be no pressure on us to have a life or do anythig with it
2) We would have a pool
3) Lukas Podolski would be our poolboy
4) Boys would line up to have us "judge their kissing technique" with each other
5) Haley would not have thick. black, and uncomfortable hairs growing out of her neck and cheeks
6) Ice cream, cake, and of course pie would have no calories
7) PIE WOULD BE THE NATIONAL FOOD

Certain things about us should be known:

1) Lukas Podolski IS our poolboy (also, I think we should have a segment entitles "Poolboy Pick of the Week" where we would choose a different poolboy caliber sex pot each week, but still give snaps to the only poolboy we'd ever have: Lukas)
2) Pie is our food of choice
3) There is no honor without pie
4) this is where the lovely Katherine will continue the list and the one above if she so chooses (maybe possibly that our cult-like following is accepting applications but not applicants, aka, youcan apply but we won't say yes)


Katherine, please add where you see fit.

I concur

I quite agree with Katherine on the aspect of blogger's whore-ness. However, my computer says that it does exist.

Maybe it just doesn't like you.
Why is blogger telling me that this blog doesn't exist?


WHORE.
