Ep 176 Is it 1968 all over again?

April 18, 2013

We wonder aloud if this awful week means deep change in the political zeitgeist. Also, a lot of politics, a little bit of knitting, and after the music, stump the science fiction stump!

Win a lifetime supply of #yarn? Define, please.



Really, if you're having a contest to "win a lifetime supply of yarn" you have to define your terms.

What kind of yarn?

What's a lifetime?

How much yarn is enough?

Who am I kidding?

I would enter this contest no matter what.  If it's acrylic yarn, I would share it with my charity knitter friends, and all of us would make beautiful things for cancer patients and the newly widowed and also babies and African AIDS orphans, because That Is What We Do.  And no matter how "much" yarn it is, I am obviously a member of the SABLE club, (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) so no problemo on that front, either.

It turns out the contest winner will get one $480.00 gift certificate to one of the big online yarn stores each year for 20 years.

I can live with that.  :D
