Episode 500
Status

I get the occasional question about the status of Episode 500, mostly along the lines of “Where the fuck is episode 500?”

Well, the deal is, before 500 is released, the listeners of this podcast must complete 

The 10 Trials of Snowmancules. 

Hey, it was originally going to be 500 trials, so this is a reduction of like a billion percent, effort-wise. 

1. Drink a Helpful Snowman Flight: One smallish glass of each: Malort, Albertson’s Whiskey, Night Train, and a badly blended vegetable smoothie that looks like sewage.

Status: Incomplete

2. Read a Charles Hinton book and submit a book report

Status: Completed by Wilma. 

3. Add one of my books to your Goodreads to-read list.

4. Read and review the Demolition Man novelization

5. Buy at least 10 coffee mugs from thrift stores, bring them into work slowly and overfill the cabinet where the mugs are kept. Never admit that any of them are yours.
