    What do you think of the idea of a “Strangers and Aliens Weight Loss Challenge”? Could be fun . . .

    I believe the term Jayce was groping for was “hash browns”. I can understand his inability to tap into that cavernous memory of his after this soon after the Nebraska-Michigan football game. This podcast was a little slow developing. All this talk about gluttony made me hungry so I retreated to the kitchen for a snack – but I could still hear everything. The end was much better, so I’m glad I stuck it out.

    I’m about twenty minutes into the episode and it occurred to me that the Max Headroom series could be a good illustration of gluttony in SF as well (big surprise). After all it is set in a world of rampant consumerism where people are encouraged to satisfy their desired even if it us ultimately dehumanizing.
