    Congrats! I especially like the slight misquote of the actual name:

    "A Long With Jundo and Taigu"

    What exactly is "long" about the sit-alongs?

      Hello all,

      That's wonderful news - congrats!

      Dosho - I noticed that mistype too . Although I kind of thought it sounded like 'come' along with Jundo and Taigu. It sounds homey nonetheless.

            Oh, were do I start?

            I would like to thank all the little people ... my producer, the writers and director who believed in this crazy project. The wardrobe people. Our fans. Oh, and thank you Buddha! 8)

                      Well I don't want to nominate myself or anything, but you will need a special sangha member to transport the said award between yourself and Taigu. And of course 'cyril' means special transporter in Klingon. lol

                      In all seriousness, these sit alongs are really great especially because you can re-watch them in case you miss something or don't get something the first few times through.. It's fantastic!

                        Hi-

                        A follow up to this one is, when do we get to see the old ones, that has been lost since the company that was used in the beginning went bust?
                        I really miss the buddha bot... :roll: :lol:
                        It could be a rerun evening...

                              Ah, I posted on another thread today about not believing things because it is on the web, in print or tv ... and here is further proof. The back story on the award.

                              A guy named Robert Archambeau at Samizdat Blog won a award and he checked with a colleague who informed him that it was basically a list to shore up Online School’s credibility as a diploma-mill. Archambeau says, “As it turns out, the awards are sponsored by a consortium of online doctoral programs, some run by for-profit institutions. What’s more, the html code for the badge one is meant to display on one’s blog contains a text link, just below the badge, for a site promoting these programs.”
