The Town of Odyssey

Got a question for people still listening to the show. Here's the deal; when the club came out, I was decidedly not happy about it. My car has a CD player, I wanted to buy albums and listen that way. What I didn't want to do was pay a monthly subscription fee. Didn't take me long to break down thoug...

Jonathan, that sounds like fun! I know someone who lived in Japan for a year or two and she really liked it. I was traveling with someone who lived there for a year (and knew the language, thankfully) who really liked it too. I have another friend who lived there for a year who also really liked it.

Life is great. Enjoying the new job, and made my first overseas trip as a tourist (go to Japan y'all, if even for just the food)

I like the phone case that Buck has

Haven't listened to new episodes in...a while, but I bet this is where the Melstners get written out.

Totally forgot about this, gonna have to listen later this week

I’ve been working as a scientist for engineering firms for the past few years and can confirm that engineers in general are a “fascinating bunch” :lol: they’re either egotistical cretins or the nicest people you’ll ever meet, there’s no in-between. Throw a little bit of social awkwardness in for go...

Caffeine free since the afternoon of Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I had forgotten about the radio ads. I remembered the signature banners.

I am a manager of the engineering and fabrication departments at an aerospace/defense company. :) Raytheon boi. I have had some mild interaction with them. 8-) Does that make me part of the military industrial complex :anxious: I used to work for some lockheed subs, I think we're all part of it at ...

Not working for me either.

The Hammer of God by Bo Giertz

I'd have gotten this one wrong.

We’re just a forum version of Japan, an overworked, aging population that has antisocial tendencies. ;) On that note I'll be in Japan in a few weeks. My parents didn't care until EK and xaio prank-called my home phone number in real life and suddenly my dad was like "Um... what is this website...

i also wonder how much of the old userbase still listens to aio. bob pointed out that a lot of us are more left-leaning now, and some of us have left christianity entirely. i personally still identify as a christian, but i'm quite left-leaning and don't want to do anything to support the vile hate ...

Bob gave an excellent summation. For my own part I want to elaborate on what Bob wrote. 1. This site started in 2005 as an offshoot of the Town Hall boards, which started around....2000? Someone can help me out with that fact. 2005 was when facebook was in it's infancy and, even more relevantly, Red...

First, fun fact, this was the first AIO episode I ever heard. The second was The Twilife Zone. So, kinda a weird introduction. I actually liked how this was handled. Halloween was a touchy subjects in some corners of American Christianity at the time (still is, I'm sure, just not in my current corne...

Tried uploading them via pm, all the files are too big. Can I email you some or something like that?

If I could figure out how to upload photos to this thread from my phone I'd win right now. I'm currently on vacation on Minnesota's North Shore and the colors are spectacular. Edit- I figured it out but the file size is too large. Edit2- I clearly didn't read the original post. I'll be pming some ph...

That sounds a really interesting read, if possibly stomach-turning at times.

Yes, and yes. Hubbard was a disturbed man.
