I laughed hysterically at Tim tryingto read my letter. I didn’t mean for it to be so difficult lol. And no I didn’t mind you reading it. You should put the picture up that I sent because it’s 1) already public and 2)Tim looks hilarious! It would be a shame to keep from the other TAN nasties!

to be a complete copy cat, There’s a new TANcast! FUCK YEAH!

I know that Tim will hate me for this, but since Andy and Noah have had iPhones for a while, can you guys discuss tips and tricks for new iPhone users on the next show?
I’m getting a Verizon iPhone this week, and I would love to hear what’s good from the TANguys.
(sorry Tim)

You make adult versions of kid’s drinks sound so complicated. Not that I’m aware of this until the 17th when I turn 21.

I am probably missing something but on the intro first it says “Friday Night Tan Fight”, then a few second later it says “Monday Night Tan Fight”. I am probably just not hearing it right or am just confused…..

@Logan I couldn’t decide on the name and so I kept messing up on the recording. I guess I didn’t catch one…D’OH!!!
February 8th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
Wait wait wait…Tim smoked?! Or smokes?! or something? That is hard for me to imagine.
(yeah, I’m sure that’s what they wanted folks to comment on)
February 8th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
@Jess I think we can make that happen
February 8th, 2011 at 4:30 pm
@Alissa Tim took up smoking to annoy Andy and Joe. He doesn’t smoke anymore.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Oh come on…Tim doing something just to annoy someone? I’m not seeing it.
February 8th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
@Christina yup doesn’t sound like my style at all
@Alissa You can comment on whatever you want
@Kiki I will post the pic in just a few
@Jess I hate you

I propose a TANcast Fight between Trinity from the Matrix and Hitgirl from Kickass.
The trickiest part is finding a level playing field. Trinity outside of the matrix is pretty lame. She can hack the IRS D-Base, but not much else. The only way to present an interesting fight would be to hold the battle inside the matrix. But then the advantages would tend towards Trinity. She needs to be handicapped. To make for a fair fight Trinity’s hard-line has been cut. In other words she is alone without any help by way of uploaded information or weapons. This is Trinity from the first Matrix movie. She will have a beretta, throwing knifes and the helicopter with the GE M134 Minigun, but no scorpion kick. No Ducati. As an added handicap she must wear tight pvc dresses and dark glasses.
Now Hitgirl is just a little girl. In the matrix she is going to be at a great disadvantage. It might take her some time to figure out she can jump from one building to another. We need to give her a little help. She gets to bring in her friend Kickass. He has the jet pack with the attached XM124 Micro guns. Hitgirl has her body armor and her foul language. Imagine the swearing she can do in the matrix where she doesn’t need to breath air.
Who will win? The mature women forced to live in a submarine and eat gruel or the traumatized youngling, orphaned and forbidden to take her butterfly knife to school for show and tell.
Stats:
Trinity Kills: 11 (source: moviebodycounts.com)
Hitgirl Kills: 42 (source: http://www.allouttabubblegum.com)

“Superman might not be willing to destroy the Death Star, but he could move it far, far away”
Don’t suggest that! That’s where *we* are! 🙂

The whole force field thing around him is called tactile telekinesis. Basically what he touches he has telekinetic control over which is the basis for all of his powers. He creates a powerful telekinetic shield around him so he’s invulnerable. Thus also giving him super strength. Also, he can cause the particles in front of his eyes to collide with the telekinesis and controls the flow of excited particles, causing extreme heat and his laser eyes.

@PFC. Badass: I think I knew your father, Major Badass.
Welcome and thanks for listening, though I hardly see how pouring crap in your ear would make the sand in your crack more livable. Come home safe and soon.

@Aggrey: You have but to claim the title(s) and it/they are yours! When there’s a conflicting claim we find it’s best to let the listeners sort it out.
To keep your blood boiling (in case you need to fight for the “#1 Kenyan Fan” title), here’s a preview of TANcast 138: Smurfs vs. Gummi Bears.

Did you guys forget that Darth Vader can foresee the future as can all Jedi so he could have had kryptonite ready for the fight and why would he only be able to choke superman with the force cant he just snap his neck with the force. Plus he can absorb energy like when he absorbed the laser blats from Han solo on Bespin. Plus remember he said that the power to destroy a planet is insignificant to the power of the force so Darth Vader is probably stronger than the movies show us.
