In the first of two shorter shows for the week:
* Flies
* Does Jana want to be gang-banged by football players?
* More flies
* East Timor on Australian TV and David Wenham.
There will be a new Smut Report on Wednesday.
Tvindy’s sushi videos are linked in his comment for show 38. Watch them; they’re funny.

“Domestic flies?” I only know this because “Muscatel” (the wine) means “wine with flies,” probably a reference to it being the cheap stuff.
I think “poo” is rarely used in conversation here in the states. I see it on internet forums once in a while, and it’s usually use for gross-out effect. Somehow, the word is somehow evocative of a gooey, unpleasant texture. I hear “Poop” and even “poopie,” but almost always in a comic context (at least among adults). Perhaps this is due to seminal comic bits by Steve (”Excuse me, but you seem to have some poopie on your shoes”) Martin. Dom Irrera, another terrific comic, used to do a long bit about how one says one must poop. “Excuse me, I have to poop!” he would say over and over, with different inflections, mostly sounding like an old Italian guy (since he’s Italian). Then he’d review all the euphemisms, like “pinch a loaf.” It’s stuck in my head now.
“Crap” is so common that it has lost much of its scatalogical sense. It’s almost a synonym for the generic “junk,” or “stuff.” Shit is still shit, but most people wouldn’t say it in front of their parents, except under duress.
Speaking of shit, I nearly “shit a brick” when I heard Jana say “potty” in what sounded like an American accent. It would probably sound much more refined in a proper Australian or English accent. What word do Aussie parents use when training their children to use the toilet? How do you say, “Do you have to potty?”
On to other shit…
If I may ask a delicate question: given Jana’s answer to the question, “Does Jana want to be gang-banged by football players?” (and without divulging the answer)… If Jana could instead choose three to ten individuals to “shower her with sexual attention” (or gang-bang, if you prefer), what would these idealized people be like? Would they all be men? How many would there be? Would they share a job, like the footballers? Would they be similar in body type, in sexual style (e.g., gentle vs. a bit more aggressive), or would there be some variety, and so on?

Gosh, I practically picked the worst time to call in that voicemail explaining Tvindy’s absence. Schoolwork and sinuses have really been slowing me down way too much. Well, no harm done, and I look forward to hearing Wednesday’s episode.

Those flies could have come from Dawn & Drew’s homestead. Showbiz Flies Oz style.

I heard that Australians deal with their flies by wearing wide-brimmed hats with corks dangling on strings. The motion of the corks swinging back and forth terrifies the flies.
Did you know that sushi is now USB compatible?

Vibeeen, I forgot to put your questions to Jana when we were recording this weekend. I’ll make sure we cover them next week (and you’re right about the show title).
And, Tvindy, I’m wearing a hat with corks on it right now.
