pibbur who admits this one is actually about something completely different, but who just had to post it.

The update about The Catastrophe, in the Encased Kickstarter, for some reason made me think of the Quiz Broadcast…

@Winterfart mentioned some things to watch to @TheRealFluent, the other day. He mentioned Brasseye, which was a British comedy from the '90s.
