The Wonder Show  

Wonder Show March Madness concludes with a sprightly discussion of the songs of George Harrison and Ringo Starr. So break out your sitar and...ukulele?

If you've never fallen thousands of feet to your doom, you should try it some time!

March Madness continues with John and Jim broadcasting from atop a hot air balloon, hundreds of feet above ground! Hey, a good idea is a good idea! But wait - what's this about a ferocious Flying Dog Who Hates Balloons...?

HELP!!!  Mike and I are trapped in a ditch on the side of the road!!  HELP!!! 

Yes, it's true that we managed to do a show anyway, but only thanks to the fact that there happens to be a working computer here in the ditch we landed in.  We were able to log into the BTR site, and do our show.  But since our cell phones were tied up with doing the show, we couldn't call for help!  And now our phones are either lost, can't get reception, or have run out of battery power.  (It is a night of overused plot contrivances, after all!)  And to top it all off, I, Jim the Radio Guy, had amnesia for a spell!  (What did I just say about plot contrivances?)

What a pickle!  It's late at night, it's wet out, there's traffic zooming by mercilessly, and we're stuck in a ditch!!  John the Radio Gross, or anyone else who may be reading, please - PLEASE! - come to our ever lovin' rescue!!

In the meantime, we'll see you on Facebook, MySpace, and here at BTR.  Don't lose your Wonder, people!  And subscribe to the weekly show through the iTunes Music Store. 

Oh, what am I doing?  I can only fain normalcy so long - WE'RE TRAPPED IN A DITCH, AND ARE GOING TO DIE!!

When Mike and Jim are stuck in a ditch on the side of the road, things get worse when one of them is hit with amnesia!! Could the plot contrivances come any quicker? March Madness continues in true Wonder style!

Tonight's Wonder Show was "March Madness".  Somehow, that came to embody a prophesy of death, a "Watchmen" themed elimination tournament, a prowling hungry lion, and a non-wicker wicker man.  Me, I still don't get it.  So in place of any further pointless rambling, I present to you a classic moment from that all-time classic, Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", Act I, Scene II (The setting: a public place):

Soothsayer

15   Caesar!

CAESAR

16   Ha! who calls?

CASCA

17   Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

CAESAR

18   Who is it in the press that calls on me?
19   I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
20   Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer

21   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

22   What man is that?

BRUTUS

23   A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

24   Set him before me; let me see his face.

CASSIUS

25   Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

CAESAR

26   What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer

27   Beware the ides of March.

CAESAR

28   He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

Sennet. Exeunt all except BRUTUS and CASSIUS

***

Hah!  It may be no "Watchmen", but it's all I've got for you this time.  So ponder THAT over your next can of aerosol cheese, pencil necks!

Thanks for listening.
