Let’s talk about the Invention Exchange, specifically the ones from Deep 13. Now often their inventions would be fairly silly. However, there were times when they came up with something that was spiteful, sadistic, or even flat out malicious which would really bring out their evilness. So the question is what do you think is the most evil invention exchange from Deep 13? I would go with the Wish Squisher from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, though the Unhappy Meals from The Day the Earth Froze are a close second.
The Unhappy Meals are pretty evil but I think I have to go with the “hard pills to swallow.”
A couple of months ago, Joel did a phone interview with Ted Coe of a radio show called “The Freak Power Ticket,” on KCSB-FM, the radio station for the University of California Santa Barbara. I think it’s taken this long for them to get around to posting a recording of it.
Sidenote about the conversation that sprang up in this comments on this post: It is the policy of this site that people are entitled to their opinions and preferences, and as long as they express them in a respectful manner — respectful to fellow posters here and also to the performers they are discussing — this site has no problem with a civil debate. With a couple of notorious exceptions, you folks have done that admirably and we salute you. There are still a few people who are stuck in the winter of 1993. Our experience tells us that the best way to respond is to not respond. But if you must respond, keep in mind that it is not your preference or opinion, but the way you express it, that will determine whether or not your comment is deleted.
Here’s the latest schedule info (and I swear to God, Laura, if you post another sour comment to this I will ban you for life).
