Show #10: New York Transit Strike, Or, Death To Posties

Posted in Shows by Ulysses on the December 21st, 2005

Wherin I am back from New York City, where I served briefly as a bus to alleviate the stress of the ongoing transit strike, and on my return I learn that Colleen Nestler has secured a restraining order against me. Also, there is talk of the geography of my home, and my pet eels, Andy and Amos.

Also, a patchwork plot to put hits out on all of the mail carriers in North America is discussed.

Ulysses Columbo’s Tips For Better Living #1

Posted in Shows by Ulysses on the December 16th, 2005

I decided to be an upstanding citizen, and give you fine people something useful to listen to, and not just my endlessly fascinating tales of adventure and derring-do. So, without further delay, I present Ulysses Columbo’s Tips For Better Living! That’s right, it’s a brand new show, and in each episode I’ll give you useful — and easy — tips you can use to make your life better. It’s on a different feed than the main show is (http://feeds.feedburner.com/TipsForBetterLiving, or click on the feed buttons to the right), so if you only want to listen to one, and not the other, you can.

In the very first episode, “How to Find an Exorcist,” I tell you how you can tell if little Billy is possessed, and, if he is, how you can find a great Exorcist to send that spawn of satan straight back to hell!

Some Odeo Lovin’

The nice folks at Odeo have put me in their staff picks section, which warms the cockles of my heart. I am here.

That brightened my day a little bit.

Show #9: The Rocquefort Heist

Posted in Shows by Ulysses on the December 14th, 2005

On December 14, 2005, I have very little to talk about, because nothing remarkable happened to me this week, aside from going to the grocery store, being hired to steal cocaine from some drug dealers, and sending Santa to the emergency room (and being chased and shot at by his reindeer-riding, gun-wielding elves). My life is boring, as you can plainly see.

Show #8: Charlie’s Record Emporium

Posted in Shows by Ulysses on the December 7th, 2005

On December 7, 2005, I talk about Tesco’s newly announced musical sandwich and it’s surprisingly similarity to a product I developed in the 1950’s when I worked for Charlie’s Record Emporium, and about how that led into a stint creating propaganda for the American government during the Vietnam war, and how that led to my meeting Steve Jobs. Also, Howard Hughes is mentioned very briefly.
