You all rock.  You really do.  You are as intelligent as I said you were.  And there is no Lew.  It is lieu (see last post)- sue me- I am drugged out.

As promised, here is the  lost/fake/faux/ episode of HPPROGS courtesy of our very own listener, Aaron (a.k.a SFC MAC).  Thanks Aaron.  It made our day.

The Fictional Harry Potter Prognostications. Episode 35. The Bionic Neck.

( intro music theme from the six million dollar man)

 

Greg:      Hello and welcome to episode 35 of Harry Potter Prognostications! I’m Greg!

 

Penny:    And I’m Penny!

 Greg:    And if you thought Harry Potter was just for kids?

Penny: Think again!

Greg: This week we are going to be talking about  what  will happen in book 7 based upon what are fans have written on our website, HP Progs .com  but before we get to that, Well let me say we have had a great response and thank you to all well wishers who have offered their sympathy to Penny regarding her recent injury.       

Penny: Yes, Thank you all for your kind words but now due to advances in medical science I no longer have to worry about a pain in my neck.                    

 

Greg: Should we talk about it?  It may not be prudent to broadcast your personal medical records on the show?           

 

Penny: I don’t see why not. It’s really no big deal.

Greg: Ok then I shall kick it over to the lovely Penny for the news.

Penny: Well here is your Harry Potter Prognostications news for May 31^st 2007 . As all of you know I had my neck replaced recently with a robotic….

Greg: It’s bionic

Penny: Robotic, Bionic? What’s the difference?

Greg:  There’s a big difference.

Penny: Well it’s my neck I can call it whatever I want.

Greg: Ok but don’t blame me when you get the wrong type of batteries.

Penny: Ok we are stopping this now.

Greg: Ok but seriously the improvement is fantastic. Not only has the pain been eliminated but it came with a lot of really cool accessories. We have been able to electronically crosswire this new piece of hardware to be able to play all the HP audio books and have Penny directly linked to the internet so she can access instantly any Book, page number or quote in any major piece of  literature located in the entire library of congress.

 

Penny:  Yes it definitely makes it easier not having to worry about preparing for the pod cast subjects anymore.

 

Greg: You used to prepare?

Penny: Yes I prepared and now I have the ability to out reference and out prognosticate you.

Greg:   Well I wouldn’t go that far but it surely makes it more challenging. I am just glad it has a mute button.

 

Penny: Greg! I told you to stop using that! It just gets annoying.

 

Greg: I know but maybe I can just turn down the volume when you are angry at me.

Penny: I suppose I can give you that as long as you don’t make a habit of it.

 

Greg: Thank you. I must say though it has taken some getting used to seeing you walk around like inspector Gadget.

Penny: I do like being taller than you now. It has been great with the kids they can climb and swing all over me now and it doesn’t phase me a bit.

Greg: We are getting off subject.

Penny: Well there really isn’t any real news anyways except that Laura Mallory is a sad attention craving lunatic.

Greg: Yes well then to our subject for today. What was it?

Penny: Our fans theories about book 7.

Greg: Oh that’s right. Well so many of you have written so much about this.

Penny: You all have some really great theories!

Greg: Yes true the response has been terrific.

Penny: I am serious when I say we have some really smart listeners.

Greg: That’s what we were going for but as we reach the final stretch in the adventure I believe we have found the answer to our subject.

Penny: and whets amazing are we actually agree.

Greg: We sometimes agree it just makes for a more interesting discussion when we can debate both sides. The conclusion we have reached though is pretty obvious I must say.

 

Penny: Yes drum roll please…….. Aaron is right. I am almost sorry I gave him grief about Hagrid.

Greg: Well I’m sure he forgives you at least I do. And in saying that this closes episode 35.

Penny: what a great episode maybe next week we can discuss replacing some of your anatomy.

Greg: Perhaps what exactly are you referring to?

Penny: Bye Bye!

The End.

PS. We will hopefully record tonight.

Dudes.  Dudettes.  I didn’t think this would be necessary.  Come on people.  I didn’t want to have to invoke my Jewish Mother guilt on all of you.  I figured it would be clear.  Am I going to have to start nagging?  I know we skipped an episode this week (and with good reason, I’ll remind you), but did you all not realize it is a new month?  Seriously people.  Just do me an itty bitty favor and make your way over to podcast alley and put us back where you put us last month (thanks to all of you we never went lower than 23 in the ranks- not bad I tell ya!!). 

I’ll make a deal with you.  If I see that there is a concerted effort in the voting, I will post a VERY funny fake hpprogs episode that one of our listeners made this week in lew of a real episode.  It had us laughing out loud.  It is worth it, I promise.

In other news here is my health update.  We are currently in a state of limbo.  I have gotten some differing opinions from different doctors re: surgery vs. no surgery and about whether this injury is affecting my spinal cord majorly or not so majorly.  The pain is still very much there, but luckily I got the stronger drugs yesterday.  Greg and I hope to podcast within the next few days though so not to worry.  We miss doing it.

 Anyway, back to the Jewish Mother guilt I mentioned before.  Do you want me to feel better?  You know what to do.

Penny:)
