I'm Trying To Think

Hello fans and fanettes!

We just wanted to let you know that, over the Thanksgiving holiday, I’m Trying to Think will be on a short hiatus. The show is actually moving to a new studio during this hiatus, and various holiday travels and activities will be undertaken.

I do want to tell you – we recorded Episode 42… but… it was bad. It was bad in an epic way. I mean, if Homer’s Iliad was a bad poem, Episode 42 would be bad like it (but it’s actually pretty good). Sometimes, I make a joke about how the show is bad… but Episode 42 made those jokes all too real.

So, we’ll be back in early December with Episode 43! Don’t fret – just go back and listen to some of the old episodes. There’s got to be 40 or more hours of entertainment there, and we’re providing it all for free! Aren’t we altruistic?

Love,
Chuck

If you’re interested in all things French, then you’ll be interested in all things Episode 41. Or, if you don’t like the French, try listening to Episode 41.

In Episode 41, we mention:

- Scott Bakula
- spreadable cheese
- sexting

In which we discuss the importance of turkey, the future of fortune cookies, the insignificance of a certain celebrity athlete’s personal life and the law of the excluded middle!

Show Notes:
- That’s (apparently) a version of “Awesome God” in Kirundi.

We had a short holiday break, but I’m Trying to Think will return triumphantly on Tuesday, December 8 with a mind-splitting episode full of mind-blowing and mind-altering topics by our resident mind-numbing experts.

Here, as promised, are the Counter-Surveillance photos of the dudes at the Dominion Gas shed taken from my excellent vantage point.

They have since departed. Possibly because they knew I was onto them and their shady dealings, possibly because they were disconcerted that a weird guy was taking photos from his apartment while they were just doing their job, probably because they were done guarding whatever they were guarding.

Attempts to get a wiretap warrant have failed, mostly because I am not an officer of the law.

Here’s a simple reference recipe for the Bloody Mary, to jog your memory:

Bloody Mary

Here’s the classic Bloody Mary recipe. Enjoy!

1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish

Combine the vodka, the tomato juice, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the Tabasco, 1 cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish the Bloody Mary with the celery stick and the lemon wedge.

So yeah, something kinda like that, but with that extra, Chunky kick. Or maybe not at all like that. Definitely Chunky though.
