do you just come up with the "quotes" at the end of your show, or are they from a specific website? they're very good.
keep up the good work, steve.

I saw his quote database once.  It scurried out of his studio one night when I was over for scotch, and started cataloging a nearby bookshelf with this laser ray thing...  very weird.  We all just pretended we didn't see anything and haven't really mentioned it since.

I had to help Rachel wrangle hers back last winter. For some reason it convinced itself that it was a migratory bird and should fly south for the winter, except that it was using one of those toy compasses you get in cereal boxes and ending up going nearly due east. I caught up with it outside of Philadelphia, where it was trying very hard to turn the village that it had landed in into Baja California. Luckily the locals bought that the warm, sea-smelling, breezes from the west were from a malfunctioning perfume factory.

All told, it was pretty easy to convince the database that it was a small Fedex box with postage paid, but I think the Fedex guy got a little suspicious when it sneezed as I was dropping it off. That and the heartbeat.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

I saw the one for Pseudopod and I tried to kill the damn thing, but it just kept getting back up.

Maybe if you were more devote, I would hear your voice when you try to talk to me.

I was going for devoted.  SOmetimes when I type I don't hit the keys hard enough and I drop letters.  I'm especially bad with my Ts.

You may not realize it, but one of the Autarchs has already betrayed you.

Devout's actually the better word in this case since you were doing the god thing — it carries the religious denotation that devoted doesn't.

I wasn't arguing that point.  I was just saying; I can spell, I just can't type.

"People commonly use the word 'procrastination' to describe what they do on the Internet. It seems to me too mild to describe what's happening as merely not-doing-work. We don't call it procrastination when someone gets drunk instead of working." - Paul Graham
