Re-cycle

Finally, today in self-indulgence, an oral history of my favorite comedy podcast Comedy Bang! Bang! [thedailybeast]. It’s a show where they meet interesting people. Definitely a few swears in there, including a really bad one. Also many in-jokes, to which I will only add, “Heynong Man.”

Aaaand that is Versioning for today. I'll be back with more tomorrow. If you're wondering, yes, yes I am struggling to resist adding many more Comedy Bang! Bang references that three of you will understand (but will love). Until tomorrow I'll be opening some more tabs. I think I can crack 2000 if I put enough work into it. Ah, the work I do for you!

Pass this on to fellow Roombas wandering your house!
