Chapter 8: Uber-Nones
Wherein Ben and Damon rest at Crater Lake and #6 heals hearts and wounds; Ben is devoured by mosquitoes and Damon cooks eggs in his rain coat while mastering downward-facing dog pose using a frying pan that had been given to him on loan by the Virgin Mary herself and forever changed the egg-free culinary habits of the wandering nomads.

Ah, at last. The real reason Damon aspired to be a basketball player as a young man-poontang! And I thought he was just coming up with a plausible excuse not to learn what a preposition was.
FYI Damon, I did catch a little flack for “allowing” you to write about Magic Johnson for your Black History report. In the throes of publicity surrounding the contraction of the deadly virus, a parent or two suggested that perhaps Mr. Johnson had not the proper moral fiber to be admired by young men such as yourself. It harkened back to the episode of the Brady Bunch in which Peter too strongly admires Jesse James…..

I am amazed you don’t catch flack for writing the word “poontang”! That is more than my impressionable eyes can bear to witness. I have been scarred.

To borrow stylistically from a writer I know: poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang poontang…..

Egads! Chapter 8′s streaming audio is incomplete! And it happened to cut off right in mid-explanation as to how two Crater Lakes ended up in one great state!

I’ve been listening to this while I run in the mornings, and I’ve just finished chapter 8 (which is why I’m leaving my comment here). Every time you talk about biking uphill it just knocks the breath out of me and all of a sudden I’m struggling in sympathy. But other than that it’s been great entertainment. :)
