That was a "King of the Hill" episode
Better yet, let everyone run on their own home tracks and compare the times. Nobody goes anywhere, all kinds of fuel gets saved, and NBC doesn't hijack my TV set for two weeks.
You Fail

I think that YouFail.org is for Al Gore. He claimed that he had invented the Internet while he was running for President of the USA. LOL.. I still get a laugh out of that. Just an all out lie but that is what the democrats are good at. Heck shortly after we were attacked some democrats were trying to convince their constituents that we attacked our own buildings. In fact I ran into a guy yesterday that believes we attacked our selves. I kicked his worthless ass. But it's still shocking how ignorent people are and how they will believe the stupidest lies ever just because they hate the President. I hated Bill Clinton but I never lost my Patriotism. I didn't use my hate as an excuse.

Well if you right click within the soundboard you'll see options for adobe flash 9. So it's a safe bet that it's a flash based program.

Clearly it's a Flash based program - it's a SWF file, I was wondering if it was some soundboard maker program -maybe the one mentioned last podcast (I don't remember what it was called)-

The podcaster dude (sorry forgot his name!) does a great job in keeping with the theme of question and topic! Especially when Gordon and the bunch go astray! LOL... so I really appreciate that!
Submitted by Andrew Perkins on Sat, 04/12/2008 - 12:24pm
I have to agree. Andy has been an awesome addition and a more than suitable replacement for Jeremy.
Keep up the great work, Andy!

For that guy with the overheated Laptop..
Most computer and component manufacturers like to ship their products with the fans set to be barely audible. This intails turning the fans down to where they are just barely moving air. When the laptop is new it cools great but over time the fins on the small heatsink get covered in dirt and this reduces their ability to transfer heat to the air.
This is the case for all of the Heat sinks I've ever owned and I've owned alot over the past twentyfive years.You can increase the speed of your system fans by downloading a small utility called speedfan. You can get it at download.com. I hope that this solves your problem.
