The Dork Forest

Rhiannon Archer (twitter @RhiannonArcher) is a Toronto comic, hilarious lady and loves taxidermy. BUT... she doesn't love the idea of stuffing dead animals. So she makes trophy heads of stuffed animals. I'm not even kidding. IT'S the greatest thing EVER. She sent me pictures. I'm gonna try to post some! So great! Enjoy. I did.

November and December is DO NOT DONATE to TDF months... Happy Thanksgiving you guys. FIND A LOCAL FOODBANK and give them a couple bucks. http://feedingamerica.org/foodbank-results.aspx will help you in the US... or just google it and your town. There WILL be one. I, sadly, promise.

This episode was LIVE Streamed through www.Laffster.com. Dana Gould (@DanJGould), Matt Weinhold (@MattWeinhold) and Shawn Sheridan talked with me about scary movies that might be palatable to me. I was inspired to see Evil Dead 2 for the first time, RIGHT after this... and, they were right. They're hilarious, but - as with some live shows... I make audio choices that are hard for Patrick to fix. SO... it's worth the slight buzzing... because these guys know TOO much and LOVE these movies so much. It's great. enjoy.

Mike Schmidt (twitter @the40yearoldboy) and Andy Peters (twitter @Andy_Peters) LOVE wrestling. To the tune of almost 2 hours and they want to come back. Immediately. I learned SO much that, at one point, I had to take a LAP around my house. Oh... I will have them back. This one was hilarious. Mostly because it was a great example of a dorkdom that would not stop. So great. Enjoy.

November and December. DO NOT DONATE to The Dork Forest. Find your local foodbank and DONATE to them... here: to find a foodbank.

Michelle McNamara returns to creep me out about True Crime! (@truecrimediary & www.truecrimediary.com) and it's great.

Her previous eps (TDF#50, #129) are where I first learn about the undiscovered killers of the world. This ep we catch up on bad guys and Michelle's life. She's hilarious. Enjoy.
