So, we tossed it.  We gave up.  We quit.  We cursed ourselves as twats and peons and foul smelling vermin.  Looking back, perhaps we were a triffle hard on ourselves.  But then we visited cats, ate about a pound of Jo-Jos and watched the K-On! movie.  Then somewhere, in our over-the-counter AND prescription drug accelerated slumbers, as the night sanded over the rough and pointy peaks of the previous day, iron re-entered our spines and strength infused our sinews.  The lights in our eyes were re-kindled.  Somehow resolve poured back into our fibers and we woke with with a new spring in our step and song in our hearts.  We were bucked, quite bucked indeed.  Caffeine helped as well.  But we looked at each other and we knew . . . we had to try again.  We were not quitters.  As the anime lyric says, <strong>&#8220;We are never give up!&#8221;<\/strong>  So we fired up the microphones, grabbed some baking soda, and doused the conflaguration.  Then we just turned them on so we could record, and record we did, despite that acrid burnt foam smell.  And here you have it: not the first attempt, but the one we enjoyed.  We hope you enjoy it too and, with us, learn a valuable lesson: even when things go wrong, you can always start over and try again.

Ha ha ha!&#8221;  <\/strong>Those are the words of Ozzy Osbourne.  Thomas happily rolled his eyes.  Then Thomas chugged while Mr. Osbourne continued to enchant us with his musical performance.  There were many antics and non-lethal train wrecks to follow!  Thomas crashed into snowbanks, ditches, barns and several of his companions.  He tooted cheekily at Gordon!  Gordon got cross.  Later, in an unrelated incident, Gordon crashed into a wall.  James got stuck on a turntable and became dizzy.  A crate of treacle fell on Percy, much to his embarrassment.  Bill and Ben taunted Boco until he became briefly insane from confusion.  Filled with rage, Deisel broke his coupling and fell into a pit.  A boulder chased Rusty, and crashed into a building which burst into flame.  During these various occurances, the engines eyes googled and their mouths formed the shape of &#8220;O&#8221;s, signaling their distress.  Luckily, no one was hurt.  Thomas vanished over a sunsetty bridge into the distance while Ozzy&#8217;s enthusiastic tune came to a satisfying conclusion.<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VideoBam video player\" type=\"text\/html\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"480\" height=\"439\" src=\"http:\/\/videobam.com\/widget\/XvQCo\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Strap a KittyCam on you kitty-cat and find out just how viscious and blood-thirsty you cuddly snuggle-wuggems is.<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/KittyCam.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/KittyCam.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"KittyCam\" width=\"630\" height=\"453\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1386\" srcset=\"http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/KittyCam.jpg 630w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/KittyCam-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/whatcouldgowrongpodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/KittyCam-417x300.jpg 417w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Welcome to Toad Suck, Arkansas, the most unfortunately named town in the U.S.A.!
