With the Labor Day Show, and recorded live on September 3rd, 2007.



This week, it was Labor Day and we attempted to keep the topics and segments short. But, don't get us wrong, we still chatted up over an hours' worth of content. So download and tune-in to laidback conversations as we discussed the value of anime, HD and more.


NEWS: Vas built something unique for IE7 and FF 2.0 users... a search option for OGlink (click here) and shortner (also click here) that will let you get to the shortner/oglink redirect pages quicker! Check it out!

The OG LamePoll by Alan
This is an application Alan built long ago... so we're going to put it to use... Take this weeks new LamePoll!!!


Alan has decided to keep the polls running for a month (or more) at time, to give listeners trying to catch up the option to participate in the weekly polls. So we'll still release a new one each week, but they'll be open for a month at a time.


If you're interested, you can see last week's poll results here.


OG Manga / Comic Contest email your entry
We finally figured out what you the audience likes for contests... so Dan came up with a manga/comic contest... for which the winners will get a book of the contest... confused?


Here's the deal... every few weeks... Dan will come up with a new manga/comic frame... with an empty comic bubble and it's your job to fill it in and modify for everyones entertainment.


The lowdown... Dan says NO MEMEs! If you use one... it better be HAWT SHIZNIT... otherwise, get creative.


Anyhow this week... we had a few more entries that are pretty good.


But to get started download the 1st frame here... but listen to the show to find out why want to download this file!


You want to win this prize pack! There's unique OG merch, the eventual book of the contest (listen to the show for details)... give-a-ways... including some signed stuff from past guests. So what are you waiting for? Enter the contest now!
