Ichi-Go Ichi-E

Erik January 23rd, 2008

Steve focused on the eternal nowOn this week's [ping], Steve Chastain from Stupid Church People.com stopped by to catch up with me, Sharon, Jordo, and Dan.

We talked about not being tripped up by our past, living in the moment, the People Project, and an absinthe drink called the Aunt Roberta (reported to be "the world's strongest cocktail").

Use one of the links below to listen.

Regarding the Aunt Roberta, apparently there's some dispute over whether or not it is in fact "the strongest," but hear me now and believe me later…it's strong. Here's the info on the Aunt Roberta from The QuarterMexican that I talked about on the show:

"It turns out this cocktail has an interesting history. It was invented in the 1800s by a mulatto prostitute who was running a bootleg drinks shack. Apparently, she stumbled upon it when drunk and was never able to get exactly the right measures again. One of her patrons took the recipe to New York and got rich selling it in his bar. Roughly 34 people died while drinking at Aunt Roberta's place during the two years it was open. (She also served homemade moonshine and it was a pretty rough crowd.)"

If the history of debauchery's not your thing, here's that link to the Feed 'em Dummy project. You can help out some people in need.

[ping] has something for everyone. Check out the show below, then join us for the live stream on Tuesday at 4 ET.

I was wondering when you guys would mention the People Project again.

Jordo January 25th, 2008

Woah, that picture gave me a hernia!

Jordo January 25th, 2008

I know how to program in VB, Johnathan!

Video song touch this report monkey's inelegant and inky heart

Jordo (a.k.a Code Monkey) January 25th, 2008

Code monky like fridos,
Code monky like tab and mountain,
Code monky is a simple man,
Big warm fuzzy secret heart,

ninjanun January 27th, 2008

Hey Eric,

Let me know where to send a CD of my band's music, and you can use it on the show, if you want.

Steve C January 27th, 2008

Wow… I guess I wasn't that good for the comment count. If this is the equivalent of ratings I wouldn't/shouldn't be invited back.

I should have said that I thought homosexuals were cool AND going to heaven. Or that what I meant by 'Moving Forward" was going BISEXUAL.

I gotta start being more controversial!

Mark January 28th, 2008

For what it's worth, I really enjoyed hearing from you on this show Steve. I discovered SCP a few years ago…it was so great to know that I wasn't alone.

Jordo January 28th, 2008

Code monkey like you!

ERIK!!!!!

You need BG music. John Coulton is creative commons yo. You can totally gank his tones.

Peace in, all my humans!

Jordo January 28th, 2008

No, Steve, this is the equivalence of people being board at work! People just aren't really bored this week. Chill man! You have to be at least the topic of discussion around 5 water coolers. And if you really are coming out of the closet around a bunch of urinals as well. :-D

George McFly January 28th, 2008

Hey Biff, get your damn hands off her….

Um sorry, wrong forumn. Carry on!

Jordo January 28th, 2008

LOL, somebody discovered they can change their moniker. Yay for pointless comments draped in annonimity. Hey, where's "nobody" anyway?

George McFly January 28th, 2008

My son Marty knocked him out.

George McFly January 28th, 2008

I'm so happy! Lorraine is making MEATLOAF for dinner tonight.

She's my density, I mean, my destiny.

Harry January 28th, 2008

That sure is one crazy picture!

Mark January 28th, 2008

I think George McFly & Mr. Rogers need to start a support groop.

Mark January 28th, 2008

Or, they could star a support "group" too. Either way.

Let teh rekurd sho that i spel gud.

Mike from Michigan January 28th, 2008

Jordo– I think that maybe songs like "Re: Your Brains" or "Creepy Doll" wouldn't quite work for [ping]. Although Coulton's cover of "Baby Got Back" is a classic and should be played at every opportunity. You know, weddings, bar-mitzvahs, Christmas parties…

Jordo January 29th, 2008

Erik, he's creative commons. Isn't that all that matters at this point.

Erik January 29th, 2008

Hey…I'm easy.

Re: Your Brains would make a great Halloween show opener.

Mike from Michigan January 29th, 2008

Uh… you talking to me, Jordo? I was just kidding around– There are actually a lot of Coulton songs that would sound good as background music. You have to admit, though, that zombie songs are usually a hard sell.

Jordo January 29th, 2008

Let the rekurd show that I was kidding around as well.

And I also can't spel.

George McFly January 29th, 2008

Bring back the cheese whiz.

George McFly January 29th, 2008

And I make good lemonade, without powder.

Momma told me not to scratch on chalkboards, but I did anyway.

Jordo January 29th, 2008

I've just realized Steve Brown's philosophy is so much harder then conventional Chistianism. Its so hard to let go. Its funny, but if Steve demanded our allegence with the threat of hell like so many other mindless voices do in our faith, I would be eternally condemned to hell. I cannot let go! Its too hard! Why can I not let go? Why do I endlessly flagelate myself with meaningles anti-christ self help doctrines that teach me to be a better man, a better husband, a better leader, a better voter, a better mad man! I suck the marrow off of that dreck but when it comes to real meaningful faith, salvation, and grace, no matter what I do I cannot let go and let myself be myself, and let God be God. Is there no hope for a man who has lost the ability to rest? Steve can have my agreement, my support, even my money, but he can never have my cooperation. BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T LET GO!!!

Erik January 29th, 2008

You must let go of letting go. ; )

George McFly January 29th, 2008

Hmmm.

Marty had the same dilemma. I told him to rub a balloon on his head and stick it to a wall. That helps with life's complexities.

Oh Mr MAGOOOOO, where are YOUUUUUU

Jordo January 29th, 2008

That's good cause I would make a pretty crappy husband right now. I'm not married.

Well, I'm married to may cat, but that's not the same thing. Its a marriage of convenience.

Jordo January 29th, 2008

I don't know, that kind of talk gives me an infinate recursion complex.

function BeChristian(Precepts, Doctrine, Litergy)
{
call BeChristian(Precepts, Doctrine, Litergy);

return Salvation;
}

George McFly January 29th, 2008

Enter Sandman.

Jordo January 29th, 2008

Holy, crap-vision! I didn't see it before! The Back to the Future reference. I'm freakin' out!

Jordo January 29th, 2008

Erik, please post the pod cast soon. I've got to hear the whole of that surreal episode. I hate being late, maybe I should quit my job and just listen to [ping] all day long. Then my conversion will be complete. Wait, I do that anyway.

poop

Jordo January 29th, 2008

I love how the comments we post here show up on the grownup part of the site.

Christov January 29th, 2008

If you've popped poop into a ping podcast post you've proved your conversion, eh?

Mark January 29th, 2008

Duty.

Mark January 29th, 2008

I realize that post may have jumped the gun a bit. You'll have to listen to tomorrow's podcast.

Mark January 29th, 2008

On second thought, I'd like to reiterate.

Duty.

Mike from Michigan January 30th, 2008

Potty mouth.

Jordo January 30th, 2008

No way! Pink noise is flippin' awesome! It frees your mind!

Woah, I have telekinesis. Cool!

Erik January 30th, 2008

That's mind bullets Kyle.

Jordo January 30th, 2008

LOL. I haven't tried mind bullets yet. Maybe you could use pink noise as background for the podcast. Wait, you already have that in the foreground. Just kidding. :-D

George McFly January 30th, 2008

There is smile from the sun
For man SPLITS into soul and body
Body and Soul
To sin away from the book is transgression of the letter
But in all is Greek translation
Metaphysicality and ingredients from quiet truth
I don't have much to give anymore

I can only show you…… SPIRITUAL MAN

Body and Soul

I am Art Garfunkel's bastard love child.

I was "weened" with tender loving care.
