    Episode 1148

    Missed Opportunity
    Brad Kitchener writes: Dick and Leo have missed a great business opportunity.  Just imagine combining the Mickey, Minnie, Goofy Talking Watch (Episode 1140), the Pill Timer (Episode 1139) and the Pez dispenser, throw in Mr T, and they’ll have a great product.

    New Friday
    Dan Warner from Richmond, Virginia was listening to Episode 1135 and found that the Warehouse Friday intros are gradually making Dick sound like a sinister malevolent moron presiding over a ghoulish hellscape, that bears no relation to the man he listens to 5 days a week.  Dan has written a more cheerful care-bear intro for this Friday.  Watch out!

    Episode 1146

    The Whole Nine Yards
    John Sullivan wants to know what he needs to record the entire recording session of the Daily Giz Wiz, not just the official podcasts.  ODTV used to offer them, but since the show became available as a download, ODTV has stopped (to avoid competition with TWiT itself).  Leo suggests, for Windows, Replay AV from Appian; justin.tv records everything every 2 hours and you can watch everything afterwards; or just go to TWiT’s Wiki for How To Record TWiT - information prepared by the folks at ODTV.

    Episode 1145

    A Locomotive to Tempt Dick
    Jeff Lundberg is a huge fan of the show and has not missed a single show so far, but is ready to make an exception for Leo’s two-by-four.  Jeff would love Dick to go to Detroit, as the Henry Ford Museum has on offer for Dick an Allegheny locomotive, one of the largest ever built.  Alas, Dick already has guests visiting his studio for that weekend.

    Bits of Land
    Land By The Inch (Episode 1130) generated quite a number of responses.  John R Henry CPP remarks that back in the 1950′s, there was a TV programme Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, which was sponsored by a cereals company.  Send in two coupons and you would get a certificate of ownership of an inch of Klondike Gold land claimAndy Heatlie remembers the same offer from Quaker OatsWill Cool remembers that in a comic book in the 1970′s, you could buy a square foot of land in Florida.  Leo can boast of owning a piece of the Berlin Wall, while Dick suggests making a business of selling pieces of Petaluma.
