The city of Philadelphia wants to charge it’s residents a “sin” tax on soda. Dan thinks that’s ridiculous, will only result in other foodstuff taxes, and could lead to the government deciding what you put in your body. Jane thinks soda only has the potential to harm, from leaching calcium from bones to causing obesity. With the city in need of revenue, Jane thinks this is a great way to generate that revenue.

Have a listen. Then let us know what you think (by voting and/or commenting).

Warning (again): Dan’s potty mouth got the better of him again in this podcast. If detonating F-bombs frighten you, you may not want to listen.

Below is Jane, paying the nickel in sin tax Dan assessed her for eating a Rice Krispy treat during the podcast.

Dan’s note: Dan wasn’t actually naked during the taping of the intro to this podcast. He was outside, in front of a warm fire, smoking a cigar. But he was fully clothed.

Help Dan name the new site!

I’m not getting kicked out of here, but I am looking for a new home.

A lot of the content that I write for this site is fun.  It’s racy, a little naughty.   Sometimes it’s completely stupid. But most of the things in Dan’s garage, and really, the things Jane writes for See Jane Shop, are diluting the message of the site.  Jane says so, so it must be true.  (Actually, it’s something, one of the FEW things, we agree on.)

And some of our Garage and Shop posts aren’t viewable on the home page when they’re posted.  That’s intentional, but then we were asking ourselves, why write the stuff if only feed subscribers are ever going to read it.

Since Jane already has her own blog, Well Read Hostess, she doesn’t need a new place to vent and opine.  But I don’t have a comparable blog.  I need a place to let my pants hair down.  Air things out.   So I’m home shopping.

And I need your help.   I need a cool domain name.   Something that has “Dan” in it.   (DansGarage.com is already taken.)

Can you help me?

Maybe I’ll offer some kind of prize to whoever picks the coolest (available) domain.  I’m not sure what yet.   But it’ll be awesome and totally worth the effort.

Just comment below for consideration.  And thanks for your help!

WARNING: Dan says fuck in this one. Kind of a lot. Headphones is what we’re saying, people.

Dan’s note: Dan tells Jane to shut up during this podcast. Dan was using it as a dramatic tool, to try to cajole Jane into taking a firmer stand on an issue. But now Dan feels like a tool for saying it. Dan asked Jane, and Jane said she was OK with leaving it in the podcast. It needs to be clearly noted that Dan has ASSLOADS of respect for Jane (though it appears, not enough to not call it “assloads”), and that Dan in no way meant to demean or diminish Jane’s opinion in the matter. Dan and Jane know each other pretty well, and we call each other names frequently over the phone and in email, and pretty much every other chance we get. So for us, it wasn’t a big deal. But it might be for you, when you hear it. So Dan thought you needed to hear the back story.
