Duel of the Fates teams

OK, this is a new and unique idea for DotF. Episode #145 (whenever it pods) will be the first of 7 Duel of the Fates, season 3 episodes. There are 8 characters lined up to compete in an elimination tournament.

You can now align yourself with one of the players and possibly win Deadpan stuff!

Just send me an email: spherical jack m at gmail dot com (no spaces – you know how it works) to tell me whose team you’d like to join for the upcoming DotF3 tournament. Players on the winning character’s team will have a chance to win cool stuff.
Palooza Division
Ming Ming (Flash Gordon)
Rorschach (Watchmen)
Otto (Repo Man)
Flash Gordon (Flash Gordon)
Animated Division
Jessica Rabbit (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)
Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)
Bilbo Bilbo Baggins (The Hobbit)
Bugs Bunny (Warner Bros.)

The deadline to join a team is the release of episode 145 (currently slated for either November 18 or 25).

(Yes, we are nerds)
Stupid little details beyond the break.

Textpan IV: The difference between politics and billiards

This one has appeared in a number of episodes.

Politics and Billiards:

In billiards, you put English on the balls to spin them into a corner.
In politics, you put spin on the English when your balls are in the corner.
Just don’t scratch.

Jack annouces the Duel of the Fates III contestants – with a twist. Send in “intangibles” in 12 seconds or less.

Paul Maki starts a semi-recurrent segment (please help name). Paul said fragments of lyrics, can you guess what they are?
Paul is also looking for intro music for this segment.

Don’t forget to send in your Deadpan slogan from episode 142 boards

And Episode 144 will expose Huey Lewis’ lies
