Arbitrary Talk

AT 065 Chocolate Cake

Hello. This week we had a great suggestion from our current number one fan, and we plan on seeing it through. It is time for you to go get your loved one some flowers. Think about it. When was the last time you just when out and got something for your significant other just because? Remember Valentines’ Day does not count. Think of this being our gift to your relationship. For those of you who are currently unattached you are buying for that one you wish you had. We do not care that they are taken, because we know you are better than them.

AT 064 Jared Is Fat

Hello. This message is just a reminder that it’s time to get some fresh air. Some schools are just getting of spring break and other are just starting, but that does not give any one an excuse to just laze around. Now this not a public service announcement or anything, but you tell me what is more fun sitting on the couch or knocking down mail boxes while driving a stolen car with a public statue tied to the roof? We are also not telling you to do this, because you can be more creative than that. One way or the other we want to hear your stories about the fun you had, and if it is good let us know we can put it on the show.

AT 063 Who Is Number One

Hello. Let’s have a contest. Who can drink more Vernors in one week? Yes you have a whole week, and for all of you who do not live in a state that sells this golden slice of heaven I bet you can buy it online. Actually I know you can. If you can buy a human liver online you can buy Vernors. I want to see pictures of the pile of cans or bottles at the end of the week.

Hello. I would like to address the new fans that have been so great over these past few weeks. You guys rock!

AT 060 Doppelgänger

Hello. Did you get a haircut? Well you look great. I bet you would look even better if you dressed in nothing but plaid and neon tomorrow, but I doubt you have the guts to do it. That is right. I just called you a chicken. Well there is only one way for you to prove me wrong, and that is to e-mail us a picture of it.

AT 059 Win A Date With Stibs

Hello. I must say we did enjoy the pictures submitted from the highest point in your area. We must say sorry to FloatinHigh we did not expect you to drop your camera. We are truly glad that your memory card survived the fall, because you had the best picture out of everyone.

Questions/Comments:

Does Asava really always make it work?

What is up with the contests? There has not been one in a while.
I have an idea for a good prize… win a date with Stibs.

Okay…horrible answer. The person you got the answer from only used main
characters. Which is stupid. I can think of many that she forgot. I have noticed
that probably 60% of SVU episodes have had someone with a small role who also
had a small role in Sex and the City. There are 10 seasons of SVU, around 25
episodes a season. So three is not the answer. Doing a little research, I found
22 men who were on both. There are about 5 who have had recurring roles too. Bad
source. Get me a better answer. Please.

This question is for Asava/Rich…yep that is right…As you know now, Ryan said
in a previous episode and has told me numerously, I can not read “his book”.
Does my oldest son, who I love, who I knew and told him that literature was “his
thing” even though he fought me on it, think he can shock me?  Does he think I
won’t understand his vocabulary?(which is entirely possible:)Or can you tell me
what possible information/perspective/other stuff can Ryan (my son) possibly
have to write about that I cannot read or would come as a surprise?  Instead of
telling you that “I would kill you” for leading everyone to believe he “sells
weed or is gay” why would he not reply “my mom knows me better than that” (is he
trying to scare you?). Does he think I don’t understand?  Alas…if that is what
he thinks he is mistaken.  Shall I remind him that there is nothing he can do
that can shock me, scare me, or stop me from being his mom. He is free to live
his life through his choices and I will be here for him.  Like all the waves in
the ocean, to the sun and the moon and home again (he can explain that to you).
For that matter how about you two?  Do you know that nothing can stop the
unconditional love a parent has for their child? Stop and give your mom a hug!
On another note.  Don’t shorten your show just cut out the crap questions. Who
cares what your favorite dorito is or what lasts longer energizer or duracell.
Who cares about macaroni or alfredo, what to buy for “my new house at the
grocery store”.  Come on….it is fun to hear you all debate and “figure out”
life at your age. I’d rather here about the “balcony” than the food:) That
should cover your next hour…With love.  Stibmom.

AT 058 Bathroom Balcony

Hello. What is the tallest thing within two miles of your house? If it is not over 30 feet you can expand the distance. Okay now is it accessible to the public? Well that does not matter. We want you to get to that highest point and take a picture of you up there with a picture of the Arbitrary Talk logo (hand drawn of course). We want those pictures so e-mail them in and enjoy yourself knowing you are on top of the world.

Questions/Comments:

AT 056 Asava Escapes Another

Hello. We may have not mentioned it in the episode but we wish everyone a happy new year, and we are glad to see that your hangovers have subsided. For what little, if any, winter break remains all of you college students. In that moment you have at the last party during break when you know as soon as you walk out the door its back to the grindstone think to yourself all the fun you had and forget all the stuff you did not have the chance to do. Then just as that moment passes shout at the top of your lungs “Arbitrary Talk will rule the world”. You may ask why you should do this, but my question is why not?
