About this Episode

The crew discusses the 1983 holiday classic A Christmas Story, covering the iconic leg lamp, the infamous triple dog dare, and the film's enduring status as a seasonal staple. The discussion explores the movie's production, its transition from theater to a 24-hour television marathon, and the notable cast members. They also review the 20th Anniversary 2-Disc Special Edition DVD, comparing the film's legacy to other holiday favorites.

Hello and welcome to the 21st episode of the

MWIRE movie win review. Today we are going to

be talking about a Christmas story. I am your

host TFG1Mike and I am joined by Steve Megatron

and Mike the Birdman Dodd. Hello. Otherwise known

as your lord and savior. Ha, you're right. We

are not kneeling before Dodd, thank you very

much. Hey, you should be thankful I protect your

ass from asteroids. That's what I do every day.

It's a public service. So you put your ass in

the air and catch the asteroids? That's right,

Steve. My ass is that huge. Very clever. I thought

his ass was the asteroid. No, he was the one

causing the asteroids. Oh, okay. I thought his

ass was the asteroid. I hate you both This is

the general chat portion of the show before we

actually get into the topic Mike what have you

been up to this week? Well, other than preventing

the world from being destroyed by asteroids,

I have been fighting the government in my own

country, leading my own miniature revolution.

Surprisingly, I'm actually not kidding. I've

had some tremendous troubles with my institution

of choice for school and funding, and recently

I've stuck it to the man, yo, and have been fighting

the power. So, I am the Che Guevara of the native

persuasion. Yes, see headshot episode 24 for

the full on rant. I would set them on fire if

I could. Alright, so what have you been up to

this week Steve? Besides entering back into the

Five Circles of Hell once more. Also known as

my secondary job. Yeah, that's not pretty much

fun. Yeah, I've I've almost gotten sent home

like every night this week so Besides that just

tired and trying to catch back up on everything.

I need to be watching yes Yes, yes, yes, and

it's it's funny in the off -air conversation

before you actually showed up Mike was like oh

you need to have a talk with him because uh Yeah,

he's probably getting burnt out on the podcasting

and I'm like what podcasting? This is the first

show he's been on in almost two weeks. He just

seemed really down, Steve. I don't know. For

some odd reason I want to put the sound clip

right here where Cheetor asks Dinobot, ah, do

you need a hug? That's true. So I've been up

to a whole hell of a lot. I spent more money

than I can afford. I now need to figure out how

I'm going to pay my cell phone bill. Well, Mike,

that's why you don't buy the imported porn. Jesus,

I keep telling you, the internet's free. No!

Don't listen. You're the one that keeps buying

imported porn, you know, fat guys smoking whatever

and getting blowjobs at the same time in the

middle of the recording. Oh, yes! That's dogfart

.com. Thank you. No, no, no. We're not promoting

any dog fart sites. No, no, no. You brought it

up, buddy. I got the Beast Wars Seasons 1 through

3 DVDs that came in. I got Simpson's Sing the

Blues CD I'm Expecting In. the Transformers Universe

Wave 4 figures from Entertainment Earth. I'm

expecting in the Wave 2 Mighty Mugs from Big

Bad Toy Story. Those, unfortunately, probably

won't be in here until after this episode airs

sometime next week. So I think we are going to

take a break and we will come back with the topic,

A Christmas Story. In this modern age, too many

people have lost sight. of the true meaning of

Christmas. Mom! Hush! Shut up, Ralphie! So now,

in the spirit of the original... I need you!

Stop! ...traditional... American Christmas. Thanks

a lot! MGM presents... A Christmas Story. For

the field we go Laughing all the way Bells on

the mill ring The day keeps tearing us apart

It must be Italian. Tonight, tonight, tonight!

I think that's just fragile. Look at that! A

Christmas story. Come on! The movie that pulls

off Santa's beard. Oh, wow! And unwraps the secrets.

Didn't I get a tie this year? Of the original.

Uh, welcome back. We are back and we're going

to be talking about Christmas Story, which is

a 1983 American slash Canadian comedy film based

on the short stories and semi -fictional anecdotes

of author and connoisseur Gene Shepard, including

material from his books In God We Trust, All

Others Pay Cash, and Wanda Hickey's Night of

Golden Memories. It was directed by Bob Clark.

Now, I was three years old when this film came

out in the theater, so I did not see... Yeah,

we really needed that, Mike. Why did you contribute

to the show, dude? That is my contribution for

this show. Yours is good as speech. When did

you first see this film? I think I first saw

this movie. I can't remember where I saw it.

I think it was on... on like television, on like

Showtime or HBO or something way back in the

day. I think I saw something around 1985, 86.

So I was probably about five or six years old

when I first saw this movie. And it's pretty

much a staple that I watch every year. In fact,

if I had the time, I would sit through the entire

24 hour marathon that Pete's Tree shows every

year. new we'll get to the twenty -four hour

marathon later uh... watch the movie twenty four

times well actually it's not actually twelve

times you know what i think we should issue a

dare to somebody who will sit there and do it

what like a triple dog dare my god i thought

i was a loser you are but that uh... anyway go

but yeah that's my first memory um... It's weird,

actually, I've actually got a little bit of history

with this movie. Part of this was filmed in a

town where I used to live, actually. They filmed

in St. Catharines here in Ontario. In Canada.

In Canada, yes. They filmed the school scenes

there. In Canada. In Canada with Zach Ward and

Scott Schwartz and man do I have some information

on those fuckers. Continue though Mike. Yes and

Steve when did you first see this? I was probably

like five or six years old watched it on the

TV station TNT and pretty much it's become a

family tradition to watch it every year when

it's on. For the most part, even though we'll

have finished watching it on that 24 -hour marathon,

we'll sit there through it again and again until

we figure out something better to do. And usually

we'll still sit on our computers or play games

or do whatever and still have the movie on, although

my wife cannot stand the movie. I still, for

some reason, like this movie. I actually did

not know anything about the film until I actually

moved from Massachusetts to Kentucky in 1993.

So 10 years... Shut the hell up! So 10 years

after it was released, I just... I never... Christmas...

National Infants Christmas Vacation was more

of a staple when I was younger than this was.

And, you know, I've seen it, I've watched it

on the marathons, I actually have the DVD that

came out in 2003, the 20th anniversary 2 -disc

special edition, which I will be talking about

later. So, who wants to summarize the plot? And

crickets, crickets. Crickets. Oh, do you want

me to do this, Mike? You can, if you want to.

Okay, so to give you the really encapsulated

version of this movie, there's this little boy,

his name's Ralphie, he has a really dysfunctional

family with a little brother that never wants

to eat anything, Darren McGavin as the dad, who

I think used to play Kolchak the night stalker,

I think, and his mom, who's pretty much, you

know, the 1930s and 40s mom, you know, stable

matron of the family and They're basically the

adventures around Christmas now Ralphie wants

a official red rider carbine action 200 round

drum BB gun or some shit like that And everybody

keeps saying you know shoot your eye out, and

he's like no no I won't god damn it. I'm awesome,

so he eventually just goes through all these

trials and tribulations asking his teacher for

it, Santa for it, everybody, and he thinks he's

not gonna get it for Christmas. But eventually,

Christmas morning comes, he does get his BB gun.

But before this though, he runs into an odd cast

of really cool supporting characters. His best

friend Flick, who played by Scott Schwartz, who

did porno for a little while, And basically them

fighting the school bully Scott Farkas who is

Zach Ward for some bizarre reason. And it's just,

basically this movie, it's one of those movies

that makes you feel good just because it's so...

it's timeless in a weird kind of way and So eventually

Ralphie does shoot his eye out, but he doesn't

go blind or anything He just breaks his glasses

and he gets really upset So him and his family

they try and go out Christmas dinner But not

before the next -door neighbors dogs break into

their house and steal everything all right no

wait I gotta stop you right there because The

reason why they went out to dinner was because

the next -door neighbor's dog came in, knocked

the turkey off the table, and destroyed the taping.

Yeah, they basically ate everything in the house

and ran. There's also a really bizarre subplot

involving a lamp, which if you haven't seen the

movie, why are you listening to this? You can

buy those at FYE. Really? There actually is a

leg lamp factory. I will actually be putting

the special feature audio from the DVD in this

episode at the end probably. I'm totally buying

one of those for my apartment. Wedding gift for

sure. But yeah, and then it just, it ends on

a really just kind of quiet note with Ralphie.

Kind of starting to realize he's kind of, kind

of have to grow up in a weird kind of way, but

this movie, it's so, it's probably, I'm honestly

going to say this is the best Christmas movie

I've ever seen. I think it's that good. I love

National Lampoons. Technically Die Hard is a

Christmas movie. Okay, we're not gonna get into

that, all right? We're not getting into that.

No, there's something that Bob Clark did with

this movie that was just so magical. And I think

Peter Billingsley, who plays Ralphie, did such

a fantastic job with his portrayal of this. And

whenever I think of a Christmas movie, I always

think of Ralphie. Yeah, so that's my two cents.

I do too to a point, but I don't for me. This

is not This is one of my favorite Christmas movies,

but it's not the number one The number one will

always and ever be national impotence Christmas

vacation Just because that movie is just awesome,

and we will hear more on that two episodes from

now Steve what about you? What was your first

experience with this? Oh wait, we already asked

that. I don't even remember. What's your opinion

of the film? There you go. I would say that it's

a timeless Christmas movie and I would have to

say that that's probably number one on my list

even though there's other Christmas movies that

are good in their own way. I just think this

one embodies the whole Christmas spirit at the

same time with a modern, well not really modern

but more of a Relatable Storyline yeah, I think

for me the only thing I really didn't like is

some of the ways that they did the transitioning

from the real like Transitioning from what is

actually happening to Ralphie to his fantasies

and stuff I don't know I just found that very

jarring when I watched it earlier this week I'll

give them a break. It's just I know I know but

I'm not saying like it I'm not saying it deters

me from watching a film, but just For some odd

reason, when I was watching it earlier this week,

I just didn't like the way that they transitioned

from the real to the unreal. And of course, actually,

there's something that we need to talk about

with this film, of course, is the schoolyard

rules, as applies to dares. the dare, the double

dare, and the triple dare, then you have the

double dog and the triple dog. And I actually

grabbed the audio from that scene. Here it is.

The exact exchange and nuance of phrase in this

ritual is very important. Ha! Are you kidding?

Stick my tongue to that stupid toe that's dumb!

That's cause you know it'll stick! You're full

of it! Oh yeah? Yeah! Well I double dog dare

ya! Now it was serious. A double dog dare. What

else was left but a triple dare you? And finally

the coup de grace of all dares. The sinister

triple dog dare. Schwartz created a slight breach

of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and

going right for the throat. All right, all right.

Come on, Kevin. Well, go on, smartass, and do

it. I'm going, I'm going. Flick's spine stiffened,

his lips curled in a defiant sneer. There was

no going back now. That is just one of the classic

all -time scenes. It's funny, the producers and

creators of one of the direct -to -video Tom

and Jerry films, Tom and Jerry the Fast and the

Furry, they actually duplicated that scene with

a couple of the characters in that movie. Overall,

I would say that this is one of the quintessential

Christmas films. You've got a great cast here.

You've got Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. You've

got Gene Shepard as the adult Ralphie, the narrator.

He actually has an onscreen cameo. I did not

see this. I'm not really sure. Darren McGavin

as Mr. Parker. And I love the way that they portray

cursing in this film just by muttering under

your breath and you can hear some of it but you

can't always hear all of it and It's just like

it's like a big old myth that people cursed back

in the 30s Yeah, that is it is pretty funny to

listen to them do that because it reminds me

of some of the Old cartoons that they used to

do that with. Yeah And then you got Melinda Dillon

as Mrs. Parker. Scott Schwartz as Flick. Let's

see, Zach Ward as Scott Farkas. You know, I don't

really know what else to say about the dome because

it's just so great. There really isn't anything

that you can really debate about it. Well, you

see, I think one point we could make What's a

more accessible family comedy when you compare

this to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

and this? Which one's better to show your kids?

Well, and again... That's a possibility. It's

coming... In comparing those films, they're six

years apart and they're two different... I mean,

the vacation films are a franchise. And this

was just a stand -alone film. And plus, this

was a period piece. This was made in the 80s

to have it resemble the 30s, which is a completely

different period. But there are going to be two

Christmas movies that inevitably get compared

against each other, because they always appear

on TV at the same time. In the DVD commentary,

director Bob Clark mentions that Jack Nicholson

was considered for the role of the old man. Clark

expresses gratitude that he ended up with Darren

McGavin instead, who also appeared in several

of other Clark films. Now, I don't think this

film would have worked if the Joker was in there.

That would have been kind of awesome. You wouldn't

have the same classic feel that you do now. Yeah,

having him laugh like the Joker and say here's

Johnny like in the shining Now one of the things

I Remembered or this just kind of came up you

guys know that Bob Clark died. No, I didn't know

that Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he died and his

son died It was on April 4th 2007 that yeah,

they The guy who was driving the other car was

driving without a license that had a blood alcohol

level three times the legal limit. So that's

unfortunate. And he also may be deported to Mexico.

The guy that killed him was uh... I'm looking

for the... Hector Velo... I can't pronounce his

name. Velik has Nava or something. Some very

ethnic name. But it was like right after his

other like Christmas horror movie had come out

Oh my god, I just realized what this guy made

Okay, let's go through the filmography of blob

of Bob Clark and I think you two are gonna puke

in your pants when I give you some of the highlights

from his wonderful movie career baby geniuses

Not surprising Super babies baby Jesus do which

I think is like the worst movie ever made. I

think my whole area is And the karate dog that's

retarded He goes from directing awesome comedies

like porkies and porkies to and a classic Christmas

story to fucking talk about a father but you

know but that again let's look at some of the

other cast members from this movie that i've

had interesting career since let's talk about

scott schwarz why am i talking about scott schwarz

he's done for now so if you're ever so curious

you want to check this out look up scotty's x

-rated adventure you can see flick get it on

he was also in and other movies such as Skinwalker

and Unseen Evil 2 and it gets weirder he randomly

made celebrity trading cards and trying to think

here it's just it's so weird he he eventually

started hanging out with with Hulk Hogan and

some other washed up wrestlers it's so bizarre

just to see where this guy has gone from like

I said from going from flick to doing porno it's

amazing and then zack ward what we say that didn't

you were interview him no i've been trying to

for quite some time i'm actually going to try

to review him again because someone i heard interview

with somebody maybe steve but i don't know and

it's not like his Filmography is much better.

I mean if you go and see postal you're gonna

want to gouge your eyes out, but It's just a

bad uva -blow movie, but then again what the

hell do you expect? But I remember Zach Ward

mostly from Titus because he was funny as hell

on there and randomly He was on the Sarah Connor

Chronicles at some point though. I don't remember

this So there you go, I've now given you two

really bizarre pieces. Yeah, I was trying to

avoid a bad tongue joke with shorts there Since

he went or well he's now put his tongue As far

as some of the history by Christmas 1983 however

the movie was no longer playing at most venues

But remained in about a hundred theaters until

January 1984 gross earnings were just over 19

.2 million. In the years since, due to television

airings and home video release, A Christmas Story

has become widely popular and is now a perennial

Christmas special. Originally released by MGM,

Warner Bros. through Turner Entertainment Company,

now has ownership of the film due to Ted Turner's

purchase of MGM's pre -1986 library and Time

Warner's subsequent purchase of Turner Entertainment.

I hate all those damn mergers and shit with TV

companies. Ridiculous. The film first aired on

television on HBO during the mid -80s and quickly

attracted a growing following. In the late 1980s

and early 1990s, the film began airing quietly

on Superstation WTBS and Superstation WGN. From

1988 to 1992, the film had a short -lived tradition

of airing on the American Thanksgiving night

or the night after Thanksgiving to open the holiday

television season in 1988 then fledging Fox aired

the movie the night after Thanksgiving in 1989

to 90 TBS showed it Thanksgiving night while

in 9192 they aired it the night after Let's see

turn of broadcasting now part of the time Warner

umbrella cable networks has maintained ownership

of the broadcast rights since the mid 1990s airing

a movie increasing on TBS TNT and TCM by 1995

it was aired on those networks and combined six

times over December 24th 25th and 26th and of

course then we get into the the 24 -hour marathon

on whatever station it's on you know this time

well yeah for Canadians but for Americans which

is what Which is what counts, it's TNT. Really?

Like, you guys don't get the station out of Atlanta

called, like, Peachtree? It used to be called,

um... Well, yeah, TBS. Yeah, yeah, TBS is still

here. TBS is... Yeah. We get in on that, too.

Oh, so TBS is still TBS in the States, but in

Canada it's called Peachtree? Yeah. That's fucking

retarded! Why the hell did it change that? Wow!

It's a bunch of secret letters. Yeah, but it

sounds important, this peach tree. It sounds

like a fucking dildo company. Okay. In 2007,

the marathon continued and the original tradition

was revived. TNT also aired the film twice the

Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. In 2008, the

24 -hour marathon continued on TBS for the 12th

overall year starting at 8 p .m. Eastern on Christmas

Eve. As far as the home releases, you had a beta

release, you had a VHS release, two laser disc

releases. As far as DVD, the 1997 reissued by

Warner Home Video full screen includes original

theatrical trailer. The 2003 DVD, which is what

I have and I'll be talking about here in a second,

20th anniversary two disc special edition DVD

wide screen includes cast interviews, audio commentary,

and feature ads. What it does have on it, on

the first disc it has all -new digital transfer

in both full and widescreen formats, feature

-length audio commentary by Peter Billingsley,

Melinda Dillon, and director -co -writer Bob

Clark. On disc two it has original readings by

Gene Shepherd, voice narrator of A Christmas

Story, another Christmas Story documentary with

cast members and director Bob Clark narrated

by Peter Billingsley. Get a leg up. and a history

of the Daisy Red Rider featurettes, triple dog

dare interactive trivia, decoder match challenge,

a few hidden easter eggs, and the original theatrical

trailer. This, I would say, is the one to have.

It was released again on HD DVD in 2006 and Blu

-ray in 2008. It was released again in 2008 on

DVD. Ultimate Collector's Edition features the

same 2003 2 -disc special edition. but includes

extra special memorabilia. Wiki didn't specify.

It's probably like a special booklet or something.

Wait until you research, Mike. I'm actually going

to Amazon right now to see what you get. I'm

really, really, really curious. Actually, it's

really cool that you get a lot of these DVDs,

like, for Christmas movies, they come out with,

like, special editions. Actually, the National

Lampoon set did a really good job on it. You

get a Santa hat, fake snow, playing cards, coasters,

and for the Blu -ray, you get a replica of the

moose mug that he drinks the eggnog at him. Awesome.

But it's made out of plastic and not metal, which

really sucks. Christmas oops, sorry. I'm almost

there, so keep talking. Oh I think I'll just

Is it the ultimate edition is that yeah 2003

ultimate collector's edition in 2008 you you

get a lot of nothing eggs actually uh It doesn't

say well according to wiki it says Oh, no, wait,

no, you get a rec - a collectible retro cookie

tin, which is the container for the set, and

a string of leg lamp - You'll shoot your eye

out, kid. I want this. No. Yes! I will! Sorry.

Alright, alright, but, no, see, what they could've

done with that - is they could have taken all

of the features that are on the 2003 2Disc and

added a few new ones or something of the people

that were still alive, obviously. All it is is

the 2003 2Disc edition with special memorabilia.

I just don't... I don't know. Some sets I can

see... Doing that with but if it's all the same

special features that's on the one I already

have and No It it actually seems that from the

blu -ray there was some stuff actually Yeah,

because they're supposed to be a featurette on

the leg lamp Another feature out with people

that are still alive from the movie the history

of that's what's on this I think is really cool

yeah although the blu -ray doesn't get everything

make just get the 2003 to disk edition you get

all the special features that you want yeah I'm

kinda ordering it right now so yeah yeah yeah

yeah the only way to um the red rider bb gun

was available beginning 1938 and for many years

afterward and indeed still is but never in the

exact configuration mentioned in the film the

daisy buck jones model did have a compass and

a sundial in the stock but these features were

not included in the red rider model You know

what the BB gun should have come with? A bayonet.

Would you fuck with a kid that had a bayonet

on his BB gun? I assure you, you would not. Scott

Farkas would have thought twice about getting

a bayonet. Do we have any final thoughts on this?

Or do we have any other discussion points we

want to talk about? Oh, it's weird. I was actually

doing a little bit of reading during the show

here. Do you realize that Ralphie was in Iron

Man? Peter Billingsley is one of the scientists

he actually executive produced iron man and the

breakup He was in couples retreat too. Yeah,

so Ralphie certainly still gets around though.

He's vastly Retired from acting he still does

a lot of executive producing the fact that he

produced iron man makes Ralphie kick ass he went

from a If you do get the the same DVD that I

have, the 20th anniversary two disc edition that

came out in 2003 on the interactive trivia when

it pops up as Ralphie's narrating it. Billingsley

obviously is older now, but he doesn't really

look... You know how when you're a kid you look

different than when you look as an adult because

you age, obviously? I mean, in this DVD he still

has the glasses on and he still just looks like

an adult Ralphie. That's all it is. What wait

wait wait shut up my history people age Okay,

so I think we're going to take a break you'll

probably hear some ads and we will be right back

In the annals of history few icons have emerged

as true statements of American life the Liberty

Bell the Statue of Liberty Even old glory pale

in comparison to this true American icon. I'm

speaking, of course, of the leg lamp. Correspondent

J .N. Kenney sat down with the creator of this

artistic masterpiece to illuminate us on the

lamp that lights up our lives. How do you feel

when people say to you, Joe, your leg lamp has

changed the face of this nation? That is the

rewarding part of the whole thing. It started

out, it's a fun business. We did it for kicks

and it's turned into something bigger than I

ever thought and this type of response is not

unusual and that makes the whole thing worthwhile.

Joe is going to take us through a little bit

of the history of the one leg up leg ramp factory

as well as how they're put together so come on

in and join us. We're in Daytona Beach, Florida

and again we've been manufacturing these lamps

here for well since the 1980s. It started out

very small, started out in a garage type thing

and now we've moved into this plant. Would you

consider yourself a leg aficionado? I don't know

if I would consider myself a leg aficionado Can

you say aficionado? Do you realize that people

would consider you an American hero? Okay Are

you training for this? I mean is there like a

course you have to go through on how to assemble

these? Joe has a training program which takes,

you know, quite a while, maybe three or four

hours to learn how to do it and eventually you

get faster and faster. So the whole training

program takes just a little bit longer than the

average lunch break. So you're certified then?

Yes. What happened there? The screw slipped there.

Oh, I forgot something. Don't show this. Is it

a left or right shoe, do you know? It's kind

of a sexy job, isn't it? Oh yeah, it feels neat,

especially when it's socks. I like the socks.

Sexy! Are you sure you don't know if it's a right

or left leg? Did you put one of these in your

house? No. What is the most common request for

a customized leg? We have actually had people

request sending pictures and saying that can

we form a leg after their leg or my wife's leg.

Don't you think it odd for someone to request

a lamp modeled after your wife's leg? Yeah, that's

an interesting Observation. So do they actually

send their wife's leg in to be cast? How does

it feel to be a national icon? Or for that matter,

a local hero as well? They know me, I go get

a haircut. They say it's Joe's leg lamp gun.

And how do you feel about that? That's fine with

me. We are back and Mike, what's what's going

on with twig? Well, you see anyway, um, well

what's going on? We are still proceeding with

our fourth season We've been kind of backed up

just cuz I'm really busy with school, but we

got a really cool special That's coming out this

week. We're talking about the George a Romero

zombie movies And then our last show of this

year before we take our winter hiatus will be

on neon Genesis Evangelion The movie You Are

Not Alone was just released here in the states

in the last few months. And well, I'm looking

forward to the rest of the series. Other than

that, we still have a box of crap to give away.

So if you want to win some stuff from Twig, make

a video 30 seconds talking about Twig and I'll

send you $2 ,000. No shit. So just send us a

link to feedback of this week in geek .net. Other

than that, still doing the whole game heroes

bit. Still doing the prototypes, still keeping

busy. And yeah, that's pretty much what I do.

I'm your video game journalist from the far north.

Yes, the very far north. Where there's no goddamn

snow. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, you and I are like

hours apart. Yeah, it's literally like four and

a half hours. Well, actually less than that.

We shall have to have a meeting of the minds

and conspire and kill Mike. You almost did until

Steve's tent decided to attack him when he went

camping. Yes, that sucks balls. Decided to attack,

not planned. Well, because the campground that

the beast within you. BOOM There once was a boy,

an albino, I'm told, who possessed the power

of pen pusher gold. He had many stories, all

short and exciting, but nobody knew, and so he

began writing. He sat there all summer and skillfully

sought to perfectly ponder and polish each plot.

The settings were set, all the characters cast,

his fingers were flying and flailing so fast,

and soon the young man with the snowy complexion

quickly concocted the caffeine collection. He

smiled, satisfied with his clever creation. Oh,

the things that did pour from his imagination.

From the author of the podcast novel Black Shadow,

Steve Saylor presents The Caffeine Collection,

a dynamic audiobook collection of short stories

presented by ringtonefeeder .com. and stevesaylor

.net. Steve presents a genre mashup of multiple

stories for your ears. I have to be on caffeine

to write all this. Steve Saylor presents The

Caffeine Collection on sale October 28, 2009.
