selling-out to the man

So we’ve caved under the pressures of the man.

We’ve brought banner ads to the site.
Keep scrollin’, keep scrollin’… there they are!

We’ve tried to offer something for everyone. I’m only guessing here, but I’m going to display what are bound to be the staff favorites. Ready?

Alan:

Roy:

Terry:

So click long & click hard. Do it for the good of all genii. Genii, not Jedi! Sheesh!

Should We Stay or Should We Go Now?

We have sad news…

Alan is leaving work, which means that he’s leaving the show, or rather — the current set-up of recording over lunch at work. Make sense?

So, if prodded, we can continue the show using a different technology, like voice over IP {Skype}, morse code or carrier pigeon.

Your voice can make a difference. Should we stay or should we go?

News from the Bionic Genius Compound

Science Fair PhotoWe’ve already had several emails asking how we built our TIME MACHINE.
Truth be told, we obtained our time machine prototype from Glendy M. at the Benjamin Franklin Science Fair. Glendy and her father.We convinced her that a stack of Pokemon cards, Roy’s Nano and 10,000 Second Life Lindex credits was a fair trade.

We think her father, Mr. M. helped build the machine, but we won’t tell.

we got your email

Lastly, we’ve had a busy week of time travel, and are finally catching-up on emails. There have been many requests to tour our facilities here in Indiana. We are proud of our awesome facility, but at this time cannot allow any visitation. Once the insurance cases settle, we would love to have you come stay with us. Until then, we’ve posted several photos.

★ BRAVO TV AND tBGR FEATURE JIBJAB

Bravo’s original Outrageous and Contageous Viral Videos covers many clips that internet genii have viewed and likely passed-along to others. Hence the term viral. While Bravo is just a bunch a’ Johnny Come Lately’s, we give them props for airing these clips. One featured clip was JIBJAB’s Year-End Round-Up, which was covered first by the Bionic Genius Roundtable. Tune-in to the Jibber Jabber Issue and listen to our interview with Gregg Spiridellis. Listen why Terry likes the cut of his Jib.

Roy Featured in St. Patrick’s Day Parade as CAPTAIN PIKE!

Pike on Parade

 

We’re having some fun out here! Thanks for your support! Lonnie Gimmons {raspberry hat} is pictured pulling our Roy.

Dyersville Iowa welcomed St. Patrick’s Day with their Helms’ Main Street Parade. We were lucky as Irish to stay at the Helms Bed & Breakfast. Alan was excited about the free wireless internet; Roy was happy to take part in the parade. The parade’s chairperson was Lavon Helms Gimmons – owner of our B&B! When you’re in Dyersville, you need to try Lavon’s “Afternoon Delight”, A graham cracker crust filled with a creamy sweet concoction and topped with raspberry pie filling. She added green coloring to top the occasion! Our interns had a food fight at the Helms Dog Walk. We didn’t get a picture, but you can imagine the green and red mess. What a great crew! Alan is finally catching-up on emails and we finally will have time to get the show posted. Take care people!

van broke STOP send love to families FULL STOP

We apologize for the delay. The VW van broke down when we visited the Field of Dreams Baseball Diamond, and it took us a couple of days to tie in to the power grid, readjust satellite locations and throw up false trails for the CIA. We should be finished with these technical preparations by this evening, when we will, at long last, post the long-awaited Episode 19: the Fade to Bluegrass Episode, in which we discover a bluegrass band playing Stairway to Heaven.

Welcome Dawn & Drew Show listeners!

While presenting you all with a huge laurel and hearty handshake, we also have some ’splainin’ to do for our regular listeners/visitors. The geniuses sold their souls to the ones who sold their souls to the devil. Yes, they bought air time on The Dawn & Drew Show. Surprisingly to Terry, Alan & Roy, the Bionic Genius Board of Directors approved the expenditure. On budgetary matters they’re still in the dark, and we owe them some answers as to why we’re even on the road. Luckily, they are not hip to anything web-related. (If by chance one of the executives finds this message, this is an intern who hacked-into tBGR mainframe.)

tBGR Travel Photo Journal

say cheese.

In early March, the Bionic Genii set-out on a trip across America, destination: THE OSCARS in Hollywood, California. This photo journal is a record of our amazing trip, and all of the cool things we tried along the way…
Alien

The Bionic Geniuses pose during a visit to the UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. The exhibit in front of which they are posing is dedicated to the movie, “Roswell.”

A Le Inn

The Bionic Geniuses stopped off for a cold one at the A Le Inn, located along the “Extraterrestrial Highway”, near Area 51.

Bionic Carhenge

Roy is shown posing atop Carhenge.

Bionic Oil Cans

Bionic Geniuses adding to the world’s largest stack of oil cans, Casselton, North Dakota.

El Cannibal

The Bionic Geniuses at El Canibal, part of the Alferd Packer Memorial Grill at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Alferd Packer was a famous Colorado cannibal who, after serving time in prison, became a vegetarian.

Bionic Noodling

Roy shows off his catch. After years of wanting to try fishing for catfish with his bare hands, Roy’s dreams came true at Lake Squarehead in Nuttin, Arkansas. Roy reached in, felt around, came upon a catfish, and let the big fella grab onto his arm. He then hauled him out for a quick photo before releasing this magnificent creature back into the wild, where he will live to face another day and, perhaps, be more wary in the future after today’s lesson in survival.

Bionic Camped

The Bionic Geniuses spent many nights camping beneath the stars, stopping at motels, or pulling into campgrounds. Wherever we went we were met with the same suspicion and hostility that we have come to expect and enjoy, but perhaps our favorite camping stop was at this VW van show, where we are asked to leave after Terry brought his guitar to the communal campfire and tried to sing Chasing John Stewart.”

Bionic Trek

Alan Points skyward while standing next to a Starfleet vessel in Riverside, Iowa, future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk, and current home of KirkFest. The ship is NOT the USS Enterprise; Paramount reportedly wanted to charge the town $40,000 clams for the rights to an Enterprise statue. Being so far inland, the community opted for a previously unknown Starfleet vessel.

Bionic Trailer

After crossing America in a VW van, the Bionic Geniuses check out the relative comfort and roominess of a vintage trailer in at the RV & Manufactured Housing Museum in Elkhart, Indiana.
