    With the current absence of Important if True, I've discovered After On, which is really quite good.  It annoys me that the first 5 minutes of every episode is like an NPR donation drive, but the content is stellar.  More cerebral and less entertaining than IIT, but the topics and presentation are some of the best I've ever heard.  Definitely worth checking out.

    I heartily recommend also taking a gander at the wikipedia page for the Gavle goat:

    The exploits trying to destroy the thing are great reading as well.

     

    "On the night of 23 December before 04:00 the South Merchant goat was set on fire and was burned to the frame, even though it had a thick layer of snow on its back.The goat had two online webcams which were put out of service by a DoS attack, instigated by computer hackers just before the burning."

     

    Gävle Boy would be proud...

    I've also considered adding hoisted to the game I'm working on.  I've thought this about a variety of things that the Thumbs gang has said and have wondered if it wouldn't be genius to create a Thumbs-related game, something like Stick of Truth or other parody titles, that just weaves Idle Thumbs and Important if True bits throughout.  I even figured Robot Nick and Fake Rodkin would be characters, though I've yet to come up with anything good for Chris.

    Does anyone live out in Cali where Jeff Goldblum performs his musical delights?  I think someone should get a video of Jeff saying "Wax House, Baby!" as a gift to the Thumbs crew.  It would probably become a great soundbite.

    I believe, during the discussion about the genie-wine bottle breaking, that you may have inadvertently created a new Yule Lad: Carpet Wine Licker, who comes, I must imagine, for less than a day solely to lick the magical genie wine from your carpet after the Twista family has harmonically destroyed the bottle.  Kudos for your fine cultural endeavors.  Google Translate (sorta) tells me that this lad would be named vínsleikir.
