Episode 85 - Throbbing Wetly
Added 2020-10-01 18:13:16 +0000 UTCTwilight but as told from the vampire's point of view, continues to be a collection of words strung together in mostly coherent fashion, with occasional digressions to count thousands of insects. There you go, Little Brown, you can use that as a quote on the cover of the paperback.
We hit the halfway mark during this episode and Mike and Conor found much to discuss. The role of Gordon Bombay in the Twilight-verse, the logic of taking the world's biggest klutz hiking, and Mike Newton's quest for the good leads are all addressed. Plus a visit to the dark web and Mike (Nelson, not Newton)'s attempt to convince Conor that Real or Fanfic is actually much harder than it looks.
For next time read thru Chapter 20! We'll post the Midnight Sun meme contest soon, so get ready!

2020-10-05 00:16:01 +0000 UTCWait... Bella said her first date was with Mike-NOT MIKE NEWTON, mind you- but in the D2 sketch she’s with a guy named Bill? Did I miss something?

2020-10-03 02:03:58 +0000 UTCI =never= wanted to see a Paul Anka concert until AFTER I heard that rant. I just imagine him trying to marshal a bunch of stoner '70s dudes thinking they're gonna skate through a show. It's like James Brown and his indicating to his banned when they just earned a fine.

2020-10-03 00:21:39 +0000 UTCRe: Alice creating Vegas odds, maybe she's like the main character in Pi. Except she doesn't go insane and....well, no spoilers, but Twilight does not end like that, barring the inane, mindless smiling.

2020-10-02 21:48:53 +0000 UTCFor a guy with multiple doctorates Edward seems weirdly unaware that the lips are a major nerve bundle and are therefore among the most sensitive human body parts.
