I don’t like the show nearly as much now, with the increased attention to the build team. I much preferred it when it was mostly Jamie and Adam, or had the build team in smaller roles. I like Kari’s personality, but find it grating on the show. She spends too much time giggling and going ‘eww gross!’ at stuff. How about we get back to the actual testing, please? ---

Now I have to budget for that issue of a magazine I’d normally never, ever, buy. Rats. And let me share in the howls of despair. NOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo ---

She spends too much time giggling and going ‘eww gross!’ at stuff. How about we get back to the actual testing, please? I agree. I cant stop looking at her, and would nail her in a NY minute. But her parade of trendy clothing, ridiculous hats, stupid hair styles, and dumb-chick expressions is really annoying. She is nothing but window dressing. I wonder if Jamie and Adam are embarrased by it, or they just love the ratings she helps pull in. BTW- I like it when they give her grunt work like chipping mud out of rail lines, which is what she deserves. I’m sure there are better qualified, more mature, and equally hot babes out there. Ah to hell with it…I enjoy staring at her even if she is obnoxious. ---

I’d wager that they stick rent-a-cops at the end of the street to keep anyone away on shooting days. Otherwise, they’re probably on a road trip to Faeth Aviation or Alameda NAS. Or at a coffee shop. I saw Jamie at a coffee shop by the Diamond Heights Safeway a couple years ago. And yes, even on (presumably) non-shooting days, he wears glowingly white shirts and a beret. ---

You just had to post this on a Wednesday, didn’t you? Dangit, on Wednesdays, I need blood flow to my BRAIN! Now the Big Question: Do I try to find someplace to buy the magazine in town (I’ve no idea where to even start), or do I try to find the pictures somewhere online in the five-minute window before they get Cease and Desisted? ---

You shouldn’t have trouble finding them at either the store or FHM’s [possibly NSFW](http://www.fhm.com/) web site. Maxim, Stuff, and FHM are all pretty much the same thing and are available at most supermarkets and corner/liquor stores. **gotpasswords** , FWIW, I have driven by on weekends. Nothing’s going on, except for the Yellow Cab refueling station at the end of the block. ---

Mmmm…I see it all the time at the airport newsstands. Especially the larger ones. I’m not sure about BZN (Gallatin Field), though, haven’t been there yet but understand that it is a smaller airport. Still, if you’re near it some time, check it out. ---

Interesting. The current issue of Skeptic Magazine has a piece on “pyramid power” in their Jr. section. The article features the Mythbuster’s experiments on this topic along when quotes from Kari and drawings of the build team. It’s not every day one can be featured in both FHM & Skeptic. To be fair Kari is an accomplished sculptor who does a lot of the prep work. ---

I always thought one of her best lines was, “Did you feel God?” after they shocked the shit out of Adam. Hard to stay mad at that sweet, impish smile. ---

Well, I know that the grocery store doesn’t have it… Albertson’s never has anything stronger than Cosmopolitan. And I’m actually not aware of any newsstands in town… I have seen FHM at just about every other airport I’ve been to, but I don’t expect to be flying anywhere in June. Ah, well, there’s still time.
