Chris Miller, of Unquiet Desperation:
This day is called the day of Podcasting Thursday : He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Paul Puri. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say ‘To-morrow is Podcasting Thursday :’ Then will he strip his earbuds and show his scars. And say ‘These wounds I had on Podcasting Thursday’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Michael and Evo, Brian Ibbot and Steve Eley, CC Chapman and Leo Laporte, Curry and Winer, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Podcasting Thursday shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in cyberspace now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Podcasting Thursday.
Don’t even ask what the context was. It’s not one-tenth as cool as this.
Things are just getting out of hand now;)

Please, universe at large… don’t let this become a trend, or… worse… a meme!
But just this once… brilliant and well-played.

You should see the PHP-coder version of Beowulf I’m working on…

“Don’t even ask what the context was.”
I’m betting beer was involved.
