Hello party people - that was a fun chat we had going in Discord! Thanks for finding me on the DISCOURSE here. Here is the link to the Google Form for a one-year free subscription to The Onion in print for the first 20 people to fill this form in COMPLETELY and ACCURATELY.
This giveaway is not associated with TWiT or The Onion - it’s Jeff being Jeff, as usual. IYKYK
For those that are interested in the products or sites discussed during the show:
John MacFarlane’s Books Page
The Onion - back in print!
“The Machete” and other Sharp Things ™ - Kickstarter (Shags LLC)
“Comfort Colors” T-Shirts (as loved by Leyyyyo himself)
And as always, you can find @codinghorror here on this Discourse site, over at Mastodon, via his blog, or you can see what he’s up to in the world of philanthropy here.
Until next time (which is September 11th, as a reminder!)

Never forget. Sorry; couldn’t help myself.
Probably postponing this one, apologies. There was something in this episode I wanted to remember.. what was it.. lemme see.. oh yeah!
First of all, this shirt is really terrible. I tried to pick the weirdest, worst looking shirt I could and damn. I outdid myself. I looked hideous in it. Let me show you what happened to the other candidate shirt.. which was also horrible in a totally different way.
Are you blind now? You’re welcome!
Look what else I sent @leo … my main man… my main hu… man
Please come over. I got a big TV and snacks. My house is fun and I am funny. Come on by.
