Wow - Just... wow.

My podcast, The Smartest Man in the World, was selected by the iTunes staff as one of the best new podcasts of 2006.

Maybe the year wasn't all that bad :)

Check it out, yo (I'm third down in the left-hand column):

With the good news I got yesterday about my parents being able to retire, and with this, I've actually had two straight days of something approaching happiness.

Thanks to Shawn for pointing out that my podcast was picked, to my sister for taking the screen capture, and, most of all, to Carl for basically having built my career by letting me co-host his show for a little while.

I'm going to go sit in a corner now, bewildered, trying to figure out why two consecutive days of my life weren't miserable.

Wow.

	Massif said: Perhaps now you can get that sponsorship deal you wanted and start covering your costs. Congrats on well deserved success. Oh, dammit Blue already used those words. I shall rephrase that then, so as to appear original. Felicitations on receiving what is rightfully yours. How about that for pretentious? Impressed? I know you are. I have many more grandiloquisms up my sleeve (see!). January 3, 2007 4:26 AM
	Blue said: Sorry Massif, next time I'll say it in French and spare you the sweat. ;) January 3, 2007 6:30 AM

	Oppositional said: Technically, Carl just acted as the interface for exposing you to the rest of the world, being who you are and doing what you do (writing, etc.) is what built your career. But I agree, Carl rocks. Hope this year is even better for you, grats. January 3, 2007 10:27 AM

	Blue said: Massif, can I copy the pic of the tag that's on your blog (cool blog) that goes "Sorry that our president is an idiot..." and use it on my blog? I love the fork pictures as well. By the way, I meant "I'll spare you the pain (instead of the sweat)" in my previous comment. I often wonder if wrong expressions like that can be easily understood anyway because you can actually "see" an intended image behind the words when you don't get the words that your brain want to see together. (Now I wonder if I make sense at all and think it's high time for me to go to sleep...) January 3, 2007 5:02 PM
	Joseph said: Awesome! Congratulation Rory! January 3, 2007 6:57 PM
	Massif said: Blue - The pictures aren't mine, they were found from reddit so it's no skin off my nose if you use it. (Now I'm feeling a little guilty for not explicitly crediting the originator of the pic.) I understood "I'll spare you the sweat" perfectly. But then I tend to play fast and loose with English most of the time. If people can understand "the proof is in the pudding" (to return to a theme from earlier posts.) when it should be "the proof of the pudding is in the eating." then clearly expressions don't even have to make sense, as long as they contain the key words.

	punky said: Yeah, people are notoriously sloppy when using metaphors and idioms. Which is why, over here, it's quite common to say (the Norwegian equivalent of) "he smokes like a sponge" instead of "like a chimney" (bonus points to whomever is capable of identifying another Norwegian idiom which actually involves a sponge). This kind of mixup is nerve-wrecking to the language zealots, of course, but most people tend to not even notice. January 4, 2007 2:47 AM
	Massif said: Well, be thankful you're not in my house whenever anyone says such things as "less people are now doing X" or "do you have more books or less?" My fiancee is pretty close to throwing things at the telly, but at the moment she satisfies herself by yelling "FEWER" at the top of her voice. For the wannabe pedant, whilst more means more whatever; the opposite is either: less when it's a non-countable item. (i.e. something like flour or sand, where you don't measure the amount in numbers of grains.); or fewer when the item is countable. (People are definitely measured in numbers.)
