    NOT Half-Squad Worthy!

    Of all the podcasts on the Two Halfsquads, not a single one has been devoted to ASL mapmakers. This in itself is a crying shame, as there's a raft of famous (Kibler, Petros, Dunn) and not-so-famous (Kirkaldy, Fischer) map artists to choose from. Even the infamous (Dolan).

    And then there's me. Witty raconteur, man about town. Easily able to carry on a scintillating conversation for the length of a "podcast", whatever the hell those are.

    But do they call? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I even emailed them a while ago. Something along the lines of, "Hey Weenies! Interview me!". But call they did not.

    My God, at this rate they're even gonna get to Glennbo before me.

    And that, my friends, is a crime against humanity.

    "podcast"?
    wtf is that?
    sounds like something out of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers".
    Does the ASL world really need it's own version of "Entertainment Tonight"?

    I think they got to Glennbo at ASLOK. And Linton too.

    A mapmaker episode would be good. A draw-off would be better, give you all a concept, a set of crayons and a set time frame and discuss the boards after . Even Dolans.

    I suspect they are keeping you back for the major event when they go to video. Not wanting to spooil their powder they know a mere audio podcast would fail to capture your true beauty and depth of wit, they hold back for the episode where you can point the great aspects of your latest creation.
    This would then be followed up by the Pitman/Kenny/Glennbo dance off to smash broadcasting records.
    What do we want? Time travel! When do we want it? It's irrelevant!

    I think map makers are on their list of people to interview. Right after the people who make the cardboard inserts they use to pad Action Packs.

    Wow, Tom. I feel really bad for you and the other Map Elves, heck even the Counter Trolls. I must have taken your spot for one of my TWO interviews. That's right... me... twice. Face for radio.

    I listened to your interview on the flight to Orlando today, Sam. Face for radio, indeed :-)

    Enjoyed Pete Shelling's interview, as always.

    But hey, if that's the way the Two Half Squads want to spend their time, who am I to say...

    Agree with Vinnie here; especially considering all the beauties you brought along for the spuddy nominations. Get rid of common-fare ASL'ers first and then bring on the handsome ones for the video.
