I listen to podcasts a lot and I always find myself tuning out and I thought it's because nobody talked to me when I was a kid and I have problems listening to people (could never pay attention in class either), but then I set the playback speed to 2X and suddenly I don't tune out as much! It just had to be adjusted to my comfortable talking speed, I guess. (Westerners talk slooooooowly.)

JMFJ just tweeted something bitching about a guy getting a penalty (excessive celebration) in a football game yesterday for saluting the vets after scoring a touchdown or something. He says GO USA! in his outrage. I am overcome.
