Buzz Out Loud Lounge: The Big "O" on today's podcast
better than i hoped
by nickhhenry - 8/14/07 2:21 PM In reply to: Humor - it takes 2 (at least) by punterjoeI'm the one who wrote the Big 'O' email, and just for clarification, I was (cleverly, I hope) alluding to the fact that Molly has trouble typing the 'O' on her iPhone, which is why my test sentence did not contain that letter. The slang was quite deliberate on my part (check out the show notes to see my whole email); I just didn't expect that to be the one line Tom picked out.
I was actually hoping they'd read more of my email, like say the part where I point out the crippling effect the already-underwhelming QWERTY keyboard undergoes when placed in a finger-pecking environment. But after hearing that, how can I complain? That was awesome.
yeah..

I meant what Tom said
by nickhhenry - 8/14/07 4:12 PM In reply to: yeah.. by surfparkOh I definitely meant it that way, don't get me wrong. I just wanted people to know my reference was also grounded in reality. Reality being that Molly cannot conjure up that elusive 'O' with her iPhone. Do I make myself clear?
I feel a little bad

Your point about Qwerty being meant for typists of the 1930s and not the cell phone industry is a great one and I had planned on getting to it but then... well you know what happened. I started to read that line and it was out of my mouth before I could stop it. And after that we were pretty much useless so I just stammered out a show close.
I almost had to pull over . . .

It really was one of the funniest moments in BOL history! You rolled right through it fine. I would love to have heard V's reaction as well!
Don't feel bad, Tom

Moments like that are priceless! Kudos on having the, um, "stones" to actually read that out loud.
