The fans are out there still.
Oct 28 2009, 2:18 AM EDT
I posted this to my blog, it happened this morning. Nice to know there are still some fans out there.I am a fan of the greatest show to have ever been on radio in the world. Get This ran for two years 2006-2007, and even now, two years later, I can listen to any one of the 162(+1) podcasts and always find myself laughing uncontrollably. The show has had such an influence on my life, I usually drop in a Get This reference to just about every blog entry I do. For other fans of the show, they will understand this blog post, for anyone else, I suggest you get the podcasts, put them on your Pot/Kettle, and enjoy the show. Today while out doing some shopping, a woman was talking, on the loudish side, on her mobile phone. Ignoring the obvious lack of knowledge she had for AGC (Automatic Gain Control), I could not help but overhear the following line, which lead to a very Get This moment: * Woman: How are the dogs, how are Paris and Toto? * At this point, nay on a millisecond later, the PA system in the store starts playing “Africa” by Toto. * I say half under my breath “Marsland!” * At which point a guy in the next aisle calls out “Get This!” Before laughing his head off. I know it is a “you had to be there” thing, but it certainly made my day, and it is great that a show that ended two years ago is still making me smile. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Agreed, to the fullest extent! Funny story too lady. The show was great to listen to during work back in 2006 and I couldn't thank technology enough for the internet and podcasting. They always put a grin on my face.

They are among us.. these fans you speak of... there should be a secret handshake to recognise such members of our society (or wearing of satiny kaftans)

Good idea, re secret handshake. I have two suggestions:1. After shaking, flicker fingers behind your neck, symbolising a cape. 2. After shaking, point three fingers straight down for an "M", then five fingers to the side for a "5", as a sign for the Marsland 5000. Do you find this valuable? |
