the Bionic Genius Roundtable

Well twist my mustache and tickle my ivories!  The Bionic Genii are back!?
Don’t get your sock garters in a bunch…  Like when David Lee Roth hooked-up again with the VanHalens, this is an experiment to see if the band can still play after all these months of disdain and what-what.

So we finally made it back!  In this episode, we finally swore-off skits!!!  Like Terry will ever give-up the skits!?
Over lunch we talked about the usual: what we were eating, wearing, watching, listening to and morning over.

So yah, the episode titled “THE LAST BROADCAST…MAYBE” will go live shortly, so stay-tuned for that and hopefully more

inane chatter defined.
This week Alan announces that he’s leaving work, which likely means the show will suffer from a hiatus hernia.
We fail at several attempts to call someone who cares: Josh the Intern, Indiana Buddhist Temple, and Indiana’s top terrorist target: Amish Country Popcorn. Yes, popcorn {see Indystar.com}.
