The One With Barry Arieff
A show that starts almost on time. Seems to throw some of the live listeners who appear a few minutes in...looks like we trained them with our usual tardiness.
During the last week The Snug has seen unprecedented snow for this area (and time of year) so it took over the first few minutes of the show with Maf telling us about his train trip (and rogue snowballers).
We swiftly (and smoothly) moved into a quick review of the new version of The Hills have eyes - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454841/. As remakes go, this one should be pround as it's stuck to the original faithfully but turbo charged the gore and shocks. If you like your films bloody, this ones for you.
Digg (www.digg.com) has a lot to answer for again this show as we fill our 'in the news' segment from it, so...:

The Great Debate - The bacon sandwich
Last week David Lewis emailed UIncle Maf about the best way to produce bacon sandwiches. He has since provided some other options that we didn't mention such as: - pre-sliced or self-sliced, type of bread, brands of sauce, additions? etc! This could spiral out of control if we're not careful. Check out www.snugfans.blogspot.com for some more additions from our vegetarian fan base. Have we missed something? Do we need a spreadsheet poll-ie type thing?

Comments: Dear Maf and Lee I've been to the site several t times since you've added the "soopa doopa" sound... It has made me jump several times! LOL It's kinda like the web pages that have the smiley ads that say "HELLO!!!!". Late at night both have made me jump out of my skin! lol Especially when I have my headphones on...
From: North American Blog "Babe" E-Mail: *****
Comments: Hey the snugfans blog has been updated...While in some ways it seems like a shopping list of what went on in the show, I did try to add my listener perspective. I was up late listening to the pod cast (after listening to the 2 hr show and snug 2, which rocked BTW) http://snugfans.blogspot.com/ Anyay have a peek...
This Is True
SMOKING IS DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH: Mike Hartnett, 36, of Omaha, Neb., had found a firework shell in his son's closet. He pulled it out to get rid of it when a hot ash fell from his cigarette and ignited the fuse. He told his son to run, but didn't drop the device. It exploded, blowing out the window and shredding his hands. "Some of my fingers were off, some were still hanging," Harnett said. Doctors considered removing both hands entirely, but a plastic surgeon managed to save two fingers on each hand. "He saved me," Hartnett said, and "gave me a fighting chance." And the lesson he learned? "I'd tell people to soak fireworks] in water and get rid of them as fast as you can." (Omaha World-Herald) ...Of the hundreds of thousands of people who will read this story, I'll bet more than 99 percent will see a far different lesson.
There's plenty more stuff going on this show, including a joke at the expense of a future guest star Rachel Arieff which ended up making into this weeks title.

1. Tell your friends (more listeners please, live or podcast, either is fine with us)

We also thanked - Rich (Bubba71uk) - http://www.richardharveyphoto.com - for the replacement for the old soopa computer...My Ebay purchase has now been chistened the soopadoopa computa. Thanks Rich.

This is True
A police dispatcher in West Fargo, N.D., thought it was a joke when someone called at 3:15 a.m. and asked where to buy marijuana. The dispatcher told the woman that marijuana is illegal, but the woman insisted. Fine, the dispatcher said: they had some in the evidence locker and if she stopped by, he could "hook her up." Sure enough, "the dispatcher got on the intercom and said, 'You know what? She's here. She just handed me $3 for marijuana'," said an amazed officer, Ken Zeeb. He stepped to the station lobby and arrested Grace Sium, 20, a junior at North Dakota State University. Zeeb says Sium didn't appear high or drunk, and didn't seem surprised to be arrested. This is something that you couldn't even make up, he said. (Fargo Forum). Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense.
Mafs shrine to DCI Hunt (Life on Mars) gets ever more extensive at http://www.mafster.co.uk/space/files/audio
and there's a good chance it'll soon be moving to Mafs new site SoopaDoopa.tv. If you watch a tv show that inspires you enough to write something about it then SoopaDoopa.tv is looking for you. Maf is after submissions (essays, episode guides, trivia etc) about TV that's ...well...SoopaDoopa. Mafs current favourites are: Life On Mars, Hustle, Lost, Prison Break.
Tonights songs were:

The One With Technical Difficulties
Not only do we start a good 45 mins late for our live listeners, but the 'super computer' (Lees Laptop) decided its a good time to stop running the DJ software...sheesh.
Anyway...We soldiered on. I'm frazzled at show end, so these notes will be more hit and miss than usual and not up to their high slick standard...but what do you all care anyway? You probably dont read them :)
We talked about cold callers (St Helens Glass!!)
Islamic fundaMENTALists wanting strict Islamic law enforced in Britain!! (including Stoning???!!)
and The BIG snowball. We also sing the praises of www.digg.com. If your reading this then your probably techie enough to find something cool on digg. check it out!
*** Special *** Tamara Sings on tonights show!!!
No1 international listener, Tamara from Canada has taken time out of busy schedule to record us her favourite song. She blows our socks off...We didn't realise our listeners had talent too!!! Have a listen and let us know what you think. Maybe we can encourage her to do us some more.
Mafs been working on a new project and would like you get have a look and Beta test it for him...it constructed round the free CMS software called Drupal www.drupal.org. Now if only he could think of a useful application for it...have a look round and let him know. Its at www.mafster.co.uk/space. When you find problems (which I assume you will) feel free to drop 'admin' a private message on the site.
Music tonight was some tribal stuff
Harikaraoke was Live and Let Die by Wings

The One that's Soopadoopa.
Tonight we dig out the Skype microphone and proceed to have the usual shenanigans.
We start with a quick call to Lees wife so she can tell us the name of the artist he can't remember. it turns out it's JH Lynch http://www.jhlynch.org who produced the iconic 'lady looking sexily round tree' from the 70's. A picture everyone knows (your auntie or gran had it)
Then we skyped Rob. Rob used to be our Skype Sniper but University is eating into his Snug schedule...sheesh! If we have any volunteers for a new Skype Sniper, drop us a line.
Rob is building a media pc so we geeked out for a few minutes as we discuss tv cards and connections etc.
It also appears that some people (including Rob) are having problems listening live on Live365! We believe you can solve these problems by going to http://www.live365.com/downloads/start365/index.html
and using this player
We discuss ethics and the scanning of business emails for un-workrelated content. What would YOU do if you found emails showing a colleague having and affair?? Find out how Maf handled it.

Yaay....It's Tamara's Birthday...our number one international listener gets one year old.. erm ..prettier. Warning...We sing 'Happy Birthday'!!!
We started early on Life on Mars...If you're not watching this program, you're really missing out...especially if you're our age and lived in the UK in the 70's...see the link in the last shownotes then get yourself over to www.mininova.org and download yourself a few episodes...that should keep you going till the DVD's come out.
We issue spoiler warnings as we delve into another set of inventive deaths with our reviews of Final Destination 3.
We go Badger mad with our cool site of the week: www.badgerbadgerbadger.com
yes, it's old hat...but crikey, it's catchy...look out for a Snug version soon!
What's your take on the ethics of using insects in experiments? We're sure it they were cute fluffy kittens, y'all'd have a problem but Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches?? check out http://conceptlab.com/control and let us know what you think.
Talking of controlling lower life forms, some Welsh geezer has invented a unique pest removal alarm... apparently it emits a frequency only heard by teenagers and is for use around shopping centres or high streets to stop vandalism.
Only one 'real' tune tonight: Elvis - Lonesome tonight (laughing version)
of course, Joe 90 and some badgers made several musical appearances
Harikaraoke tonight was: Tobacco Road by The Nashville Teens
and Moonlighting by Leo Sayer.
