You, Peter Sagal, Garrison Keillor, Terry Gross, and Diane Rehm. One 20-foot-tall steel cage. Who wins, how does it play out, and how many incredibly-literate blog posts does it generate?

What is your high score at George Plimpton's Video Falconry? I can't get past Stage 45 - Chateau Marmot. I'm currently sporting a level 23 Goshawk, equipped with +2 talons of grasping, but I'm thinking of switching to some sort of buteo, like a Swainson's Hawk. Any advice?

Also, have you heard anything concrete about a Bored to Death movie? It's been much rumored and discussed, but any sold information would be nice to know. It was such a hilarious (and strangely gentle) show that approached uncommon topics like aging, rivalry, parenthood, professional success (or lack thereof), the ever increasing sense of our own mortality, and marijuana consumption in interesting ways.

David: If you were going to guest on an episode of Blank Check's Robert Zemeckis miniseries, what movie would you pick and why is it BEOWULF (2007)?

Jon: do you keep up any Old Internet lifestyles? IRC, Usenet groups, 25-year-old forums, etc.?

David, you and Yoshida so rarely mention each other in your respective outlets that I followed both of you independently for years before that instagram photo rocked my head. Just love both of your work! I realize this sounds like a weird thing but I promise it's no weirder than any parasocial relationships are in this economy.
