Show #60 - 'Use Outrageous Humor to Settle a Score' and other peculiar rules to live by

Sixty episodes of this podcast. For the faithful-est listeners, the folks who've listened to every minute of the addlepated ramblings of Monolith and Bear Trap, it is worth noting you have spent a full work week and a half listening to uninformed goofiness. And since exactly none of these shows has been an hour long, you're probably looking at two to three full work weeks you can never ever get back. Ever. Though your two Purveyors of Snackery may have doubts about your taste in podcasts (granted, there's only one, but still), they're actually really grateful to be the beneficiary of your epic time-wasting. You guys are great. Discussed: Bear Trap's road-gawking difficulties, the last installment of Monolith's ongoing series "Monolith Listens to Arnold's Autobiography", Arnold's top ten rules for success, Monolith ponders 'Silver Linings Playbook', Hollywood's still-to-be-released Oscar bait movies for 2012 are handicapped, PETA and their claims against Peter Jackson and 'The Hobbit', cherished and unimplemented Thanksgiving traditions, Howard Shore's score for 'LOTR', film music queues that are in and of themselves excellent but hit the wrong note when placed in the film, AMC's deft handling of 'The Godfather' trilogy, Monolith ponders 'Silver Linings Playbook' a bit longer, Kathleen Turner and why Bear Trap's a heartless jerk, that moment when you click on a link expecting an article and instead you get an ad followed by a video, tail-gating (the following-too-close behind variety, not the pregame drinking kind) and the joys thereof, what other things people who talk and text might also do, Tom Brokaw is singled out for Little Snack scorn, as well as assorted odds and ends and the random tangent. Click 'Play' in the new iTunes 11 (if that button's still there) and enjoy.
