    Hear ye, hear ye:
    If anyone would like to prepare some random facts for a “Random Facts with F.A.C.E.s segment”, such preparation would be appreciated. We may have a call regarding such on Sunday afternoon or evening.

    There also may be a commercial ready to be r-e-c-o-r-d-e-d tomorrow, but that is up in the air at the time of this posting.

    We also have three questions lined up for calls either Sunday or Monday [the names listed are those who have laid claim to the questions, but they may need other(s) to join in on said calls]:
    Can anyone stand cold french fries? If so, are they psychotic?-SuperChris01
    If WWIII happens, can we buy an island and create our own country of FACEs and it be epic?-riseofthekumquat
    Debate about the pros and cons to Disney ruling the world.-Bekah & Masøn M.

    Manalive Smith has laid claim to the question “Can we also get a hot air balloon and follow the footsteps of the Jules Verne novel?” and hopefully will deliver with an answer. However, his absence from Skype means that this is still in question.

    The questions that have already been answered revolve around “water towers”, “dumped in the woods”, and “sweet tea”.

    Today I was reading the Bible in John 11:16. In the English versions I’m familiar with, the verse says that Thomas’s nickname is “Didymus”. However, today I was reading it in German and found that the nickname was “Zwilling”, which is the German word for “Twin”. I then looked and found other English translations that render the nickname as “Twin”. I immediately investigated and found that “Thomas” (an Aramaic name) and “Didymus” (a Greek name) both mean “Twin”.

    According to my research, there is no explanation on whether he actually had a twin or if he looked close enough to someone else to be nicknamed “Twin” or if his parents named him “Twin” just for the fun of it (tradition says his real name may have been Jude, Judas, or Judah, but there’s no confirmation on that).

    I’m not saying we should start calling him “Twin Thomas” because it sounds like “Twin Towers” and the names of “Apostle Thomas” or “Doubting Thomas” are sufficiently descriptive names, but I was mildly surprised in my brief research to find that there really hasn’t ever been a time when English speakers decided to capitalize upon the alliterative opportunity to call him “Twin Thomas” on a regular basis.

    I’m good, thanks. I have enough on my hands without having to deal with a kangaroo that has identity misconceptions stemming from “man” being in the name.

    Tube late, Joshua. You now much answer the question that you’ve been avoiding for so long:

    Actually, Franklin, no one said anything about the room being a closet. If it is a closet, though, the clothes inside would cut down on echo.

    What I recommend is that you go into a room all by yourself for the Skype call. That way, no one will be physically close enough to you to have their toes stepped on.

    I think Joshua just wants to tell us more about himself, since that’s what this thread is all about.

    You may proceed, Joshua…

    I’m hoping Kumquat is able to show up in the fancast this time…we’ll see how the logistics shake out.

    If I resurrect this thread, will that mean Episode 043 will just be a 10 minute unedited solo Matthew Bird podcast? It seems like just a year and a week ago when Episode 023 was released…

    Few things:
    1. The largest creature I ever dissected was a frog. While it pales in comparison to some of y’all’s stories, I’m okay with that. I’d rather not dissect any more than I have to. I have seen human cadavers, though, but the preservatives used smell so strong that there’s no temptation to linger there longer than you must.
    2. Kristen would have enjoyed the 6.5 hour Skype call, where the F.A.C.E.s got to see Manalive and Yeast interact in real life, as they were on a single device for the call. It was high quality entertainment.
    3. I’ve never seen Tingle look dejected before.

    Resurrection, rhyming, VeggieTales, and cheerful exclamations? This thread is highly underrated. I’m so glad I found it. It makes me say:

    YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

    This is the first time I’ve heard of Gruyère.

    Wikipedia says it’s an excellent cheese for baking.

    If anyone ever thinks aloud, “I wonder if Kristen is really great at taxes”, point them to this thread.

    She really is.
