		<description>Congrats on the new Pod-- err... Nerdcast!  It was great to hear about the &quot;every other week&quot; thing, which may be better for some people.  As you can see, I just listened to this for the first time, 7 days after it was out, so not having a new one every Saturday might just work out after all.

And, it sucks about the Cease and Desist Letters... how can they just do that?  That&#039;s just not right.

And, I wanted to let you know, in case you didn&#039;t, that &quot;SPAZ&quot; is a type of Shotgun with a random &#039;burst&#039; where the shots travel in random directions and not just go straight out of the barrel.  That kind of goes with the &#039;spaz-out&#039; definition you gave for spaz.

As always, keep up the good work!  I look forward to hearing about Sports Dereritives (spell check?)</description>

		<description>Herr Shepherd!
You make me laugh really hard. :)

I finally got around to listning to you on the podcasts.
I just recently finished listning to the one about &#039;mofo&#039;.
Which. I must say.
Made me smile.
I didn&#039;t know that it stemmed all the way from Oedipus Rex.
It was pretty cool, actually.</description>

		<description>I can certainly understand the decision...and best wishes...

I can&#039;t imagine how you put together shows every week for so long...and I hope you find the time and space that this move is intended to give you.</description>

		<description>Hi Dave, Howard S. and Howard C.

Thanks so much for all the work that you&#039;ve done, and continue to do for your Word Nerd fans, it&#039;s very much appreciated!
I understand the need to scale back the production of your show, and I&#039;ll still be watching eagerly for each new episode, as you find time to podcast!</description>

		<description>Southeastern Pennsylvania listeners will recognize &quot;Spaz&quot; as the name of a beverage distributor in West Chester; I&#039;ve driven past their facility, which has the word &quot;SPAZ&quot; in very large letters on an exterior wall.

The owner of Spaz is Bob Spaziani, and there&#039;s your etymology, at least in this case.</description>

		<description>IIRC, in Lars von Trier&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://imdb.com/title/tt0154421/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Idiots&lt;/a&gt; (Dogme 2), they use &quot;spaz&quot; to describe themselves when they get &quot;into character,&quot; which is to say, when they start acting like mentally disabled people.
Is it a Danish word or was I just confused by the subtitles? (I probably used the French subtitles, though.)</description>
