      <description><![CDATA[<p>It's December and for most of us that means it's the holiday season.  It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.  It's beginning to look a lot like-- OK I'll stop.  But you know what I'm talking about.  And I'm a holiday nerd.  I love 'em.  And Christmas is in my top 3 all-time favorite holidays, so apologies if you're tired of the hoopla or if you just hate Christmas, but this month I'll be nerding out about holiday stuff.  And this month we invite back a previous guest to nerdgasm about our favorite Christmas movies!</p>
<p>Our Dirty Secret this week is not so terribly dirty, but I, Pignasty, do that thing where I can't think of the correct reference and so say something incredibly stupid instead.  I do that more than once.  I'm sorry and you're welcome.</p>
<p>Need some Christmas t-shirts?  Check out our sponsor Screen Print Dept. They'll hook you up!<br /><br />For shownotes, news, links, and more check out dirtydilettante.com and rawrcast.com. And you can find links to the free audio podcast of Bump In The Night at over at Quixotic Enterprises! Thanks :D<br /><br />Music for this show provided by music.mevio.com</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Wow. You guys, just... Wow.<br />We decided this week, in celebration of our fourth and final episode of the SciFi/Fantasy Fiction series, to indulge Bethany's wishes and turn this show into a drinking game. I frankly don't remember saying many of the inanities and expletives that drip from my thoroughly inebriated tongue, but the beauty of recording a thing is that I don't have to remember, the technology does it for me. And here it is, offered up for your enjoyment:<br />The Nerd Level!</p>
<p>If you want to drink along, the rules are simple: take a drink the first time we mention an author on this episode. Sounds easy, right? Well, fair warning, I'm pretty sure we ended up somewhere in the 20s, so hang with us if you can and then let me know about it! This week we get an audio thesis from a Tolkienite, discuss Les Paul's apparently gold-plated autobiography, and we also end the show with some must-read recommendations. I don't remember what else we talked about, so just listen to the damn thing already.</p>

<p>It's been a fit-throwing hell ride, friends, and I've had a great time.  But all good things must come to an end, and so it is with our month-long discussion of horror movies.  There is this consolation, though: We go out not with a whimper but with a mighty Wilhelm Scream!

<p>Michael and Randy have, in their different ways, brought the pain this week.  Which is appropriate, since this is the Nerd level.  Horror haters will want to avoid most if not all of this week's picks.</p>
