dimland radio 1-20-18 show notes

What The Happened Last Week?

Well, I talked over a sounder and forgot to take my second break. I just kept talking.

 

Then I changed Morgan Freeman's name to Martin Freeman. Whoops.

Sports!

It's finally happened! A break in a playoff game went the Minnesota Vikings' way. 50 plus years of playoff and Superbowl futility and several breaks going the way of the Vikes' opponents.

 

In case you live in a cave or are a member of al qaeda, you may not know about what is now called the Minneapolis Miracle. Well, I let you know about this show.

 

I talk all about it, my reaction, the reaction of Minnesota fans, etc. I also give a little advice to those who are so dismissive of sports fans. 

Fun With A Conspiracy Theorist

   

I posted the internet comic strip you see above to my Facebook. And it brought a response by a conspiracy theorist claiming the President doesn't even have full clearance to all areas of Area 51. Friend of the show, Craig, and I decided to have some fun responding to his comment.

 

We must have had too much fun, because the fellow making those claims deleted his comment and our teasing was lost.

 

The next day he posted a curious message on his Facebook feed. 

I Liked Star Wars: The Last Jedi

  

I wrote a review on the Warehouse Find blog, in which I admonished some Star Wars fans' negativity. But, I guess they are entitled to their opinions.

Dimland Radio Pedantic Moment: Star Wars Light Saber Battles And The Turned Back

  

I talked about what a bad idea it is to turn you back on your opponent when in a sword fight. Why would you expose your back, however briefly, while in a duel? It might looks cool to the audience, but it's still just a bad idea. 

Top Three Cool Things Of The Week

There's just one Cool Things from this week.

1) Come on! What else would it be?

 

 

 

Movie Recommendation: None

I've recommended this before, but since it's part of my Pedantic Moment this week, why not recommend it again? Besides, it's a modern classic.
