   So I was listening to the podcast while drinking a Diet Pepsi Max™ and thought that I should contribute something to this fine Blog and let out a big yawn. Then I thought, what if people posted pictures of their yawns on the web! What a cool thing to do while drinking a Diet Pepsi Max™! So Wake Up People and join the Yawn-a-thon at http://www.wakeuppeople.com/

   Bill,

   I’m not sure if the Bad at Sports Big yawn contest is a great marketing ploy…

   Sorry, didn’t mean that the yawn contest was a reflection of the show. In fact it was just the opposite. I look forward to catching the Mexico City show at the MCA and enjoyed the interview with Packard Jennings. I was just inspired by the interview to appropriate my post for some guerilla marketing. For some reason Diet Pepsi Max was the first thing that popped in my head. They’ve turned yawning into part of their branding. My thought is to advertise products in my blog posts, then bill the sponsors. So, Chris, if you can give me some of the web stats, I could use them in my pitch to Pepsi. 😉

   I think yawning was part of the marketing scheme for meth as well!

   The MCA show was a major yawn:

   Maybe it needed some meth?

   Meth all around.

   Hey guys. I love the show!! I am former Chicagoan, SAIC student now living in New York and I’ve been listening for over a year now. Thank you. You rock!!!

   I love Packard Jennings’ bible stickers. It reminds me of an interview I read with Ian McKellan (the actor) where he said he tears out the pages from Leviticus (where it supposedly denounces homosexuality) in every bible at every hotel where he stays:)

    My favorite part of BAS is counting how many times Duncan uses the word “contextualize” during each podcast. I’m thinking of turning it into a drinking game.

    Sweet. Several drinking games already exist for Bad at Sports. They have a Bad at Sports night at Art Bar in NYC.

    1. The expletive game. Sadly this one has already claimed the lives of 15 due to accute alcohol poisoning.

    2. The Canadian Whiskey – bashing blitz: Everytime someone says somethign mean about Canada you take a drink.

    3. The Trope Tequila challenge. Everytime someone says Trope you take a drink.

    4. The Boring Beer Challenge. Anytime an interview gets dull you drink beer until it is entertaining again. BAS’s hosts are partial to this one.

    In response to the kick ass work shown in the MCA poster, I am currently getting my 2 year old son a full body tattoo. Did you know that tattoos are ½ price if you are under 12?
