i wonder is this was part of the marketing for the movie?

If it wasn't, someone should take credit and get promoted to 1st assistant coffee getter.

Triscadecaphobes, yes it's Friday the 13th
Does that mean you are phobic of triscuits?
Afraid of woven wheat?
No, it means that I am afraid of Sandy Duncan
She's creepy
Smack her on the back of the head and one of those eyes is coming out
She's old lady porn, one eyed porn a new genre
I don't think so Booba
Edison was shooting that porn way back when
Getting back in to small town mode
All over a golden plump
Maybe that's how they get so plump
I grew up really, really small town
My folks weren't farmers . . . just passing through for the rest of their lives
He was held back
Other people are telling this story about you, just differently
He had the 13 year old creepy boy stache in 3rd grade
The epitome of backwoods Virginia
He had tight curly brownish/black hair
Might have been the fact that they didn't have running water in the house
Sometimes it's like someone dropped you off on a journey from the center of the earth
My dad raced stock cars at the county fair grounds on weekends . . . I'm class all the way
We would go out to their house
Push the car off the property to work on them on the gravel road
Wild animals in all the junk they
You had wild ferel cats in your yard . . . different baby, I lived in town
He's come out in his underwear and run around
Half a mile from the compound
Of course we have to push it off the property
I don't want a cupcake from you
Farms are junk car magnates
That's what we near Bear, a some property where we can abandon our shit
Making me hold it till we got home
They had the 21st century green toilet paint bucket with sawdust like your friend
You didn't catch him that's for sure
I spied him with his junk in his hand
Enjoying himself in nature and chickendom
What is he doing now? It's a success story
He was an Edison savant
You don't need electricity to run a phonograph
Gotta get rid of your bear plug Betsy
That is so gross
Great day for me Mr. B
My sisters kids were sick and I didn't have to babysit
They just don't get my sarcasm it washes over them
She looked at me blankly
Maggie thinks her name is moo moo
Today was the first day of garage sale season
Twins and triplets sale was training camp compared for this
They were there . . . my people
The Mexican guy in his Astro van with his kids on a school day
The Blue hairs early in line
I'm here for a free bowl of soup or the sale
She goes off about resellers and waking up early
She's 97 Kris, she's so old that she doesn't have an old AOL address
She's grandma1@webtv.com
That man has his kids helping him out
Thank you Mr. B it's a business
You can't match this flow
And there it is Mr. B
I was put on earth to do this
The Madeline in Paris Doll house with all the stuff
Why Wednesdays show sucked
Betsy had Elliot's neuropsych evaluation on her mind
They were really arguing that it was his semen that caused the problem
The genetic crap
Kids with medical issues
At a kids party you can pick the parents based on their behavior
Haven't you been tested for bipolar yet? You're eight! Shit could be going on up there
Join up with the Croncast Cronies . . . thanks Kelly C.

0% September 11th drama around here
Kris says I'm not dealing with it
His usual process it takes him a week to ge it
Last week was the NFL podcast launch
Special Note: You will only be able to see the podcast pages not the other areas of the sites.
Larry Fitzgerald
Joe Jurevicius
Joe Horn
Steve Smith
Betsy could hold it down
Except when she sees money coming in and then slows her ebay stuff
Betsy's Hebrew Green Eggs and Ham
Kris thinks it is the score of the century . . . better than 1st edition Torah
Where's Waldo in French
Things not to do: Tree trimming 9:30 at night in the dark
The family is oout doin it up
Trimming the night before dries out the branches
The dog is even with us
Zeus starts to spaz out
Running in loops
He starts a run at Gigi like a crazed horse
He hits her and she does a flip and lands on her head and back
Betsy saves her dog with a shout
Kris gets to Gigi and her mouth is bleeding
She made out great with only the little cut
Kris goes on about his lack of responisibility when it comes to safety from the dog
I had to restrain myself
Betsy got the lecture about "Next Time"
Please let me finish
For some reason Betsy doesn't understand Elliot's lack of love for the dog . . . hmmm
Betsy tried to leave her sister for hobos
The chili cook-off and Kris telling the neighbor he is not social
Betsy came to my rescue as usual
My new 14 ft saw
Not replacing Slowsky . . . supplementing
6 years, 1 month worth of ebay stuff still in Betsy's stash

The September 1st show yet to exist

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 06:30:57 -0500

Amigos, following our 'life is show prep' model, Betsy was at puppy training class from 7 to nearly 11 last night. And as I type this she is making that awful 'aaah aaah' noise to tell the doggy he's bad.

Regardless of this morning's 6:30 a.m. drama we will have today's show up a this afternoon.

It's been a while since we missed a night and had a show go up late in the day but it will be worth it to hear about puppy class, some kids who think Slowsky is a semi truck and from a guy who had his first fork full of Chinese food in college (while trying to find a wife).

So if you are a new listener and want something to listen to feel free to hit up our hidden archive page for some Croncast. And if you are behind on shows you'll never know the difference.

Update: It now exists.

Betsy still working the intro
As parents we got our asses kicked
Not feeling the welcome
Powerpoint needs to die when used by educators
I don't want to look at dancing lunch meat
Granola is off limits with chocolate
There was a weird vibe between Elliot's teacher and Betsy
Elliot is in back of room which looks like front of room
He'll be carving his name in the desk soon
There's nothing you can say but good stuff when 30 parents are all listening
Eye contact has dipped to zero and she sized up Booba
Elliot will suffer know because of it
The tall child in front that everyone listens too
He is struggling in all first grade things
Camp to this has to be a hard transistion for him
Working at home with Elliot is even on routine it fails
Google how to put out the fire
Slowsky didn't get an oil change before our vacation
It stopped leaking oil . . . there was no more to leak
Betsy is back at Goodwill
Betsy is garbage picking from neighbors again
She is assured that the neighbors hate her, more on Friday 300 by 300th

The long intro with the email from the tab
Betys won't look at me
"Nobody likes your intro"
More people like the chick voice
I'll do it for you for a small fee
Betsy did The Great American Yard Sale this weekend and we roll with it
Having a puppy is like having four kids
Betsy goes for gypsy blood
"Look at her run"
Rookies will tell you what they want
Kris is going to have his man card revoked for saying "Pram"
The big stuff doesn't fit
Why do you have three "prams"?
Sellin on eBay, the newbs "f" it up for Booba
Distraction of the eye shadow
Elliot's first day of school . . . 1st grade
Daddy took him shopping for "new" stuff cause mommy wouldn't
