The entire performance of the Dramatic Reading of X-Files: Bad Blood (S5, E12) can be found on YouTube.

Apr 2000:59:42Tap to summarize"This totally counts guys for week 16. This is 100% allowed under the dumb rules that totally exist that we're following. If you don't like it, name 16 movies with 16 in the title. See, you can't. So sit down, shut up, and listen to Thor and the gang talk about movies that are one up from meh. Also tell 16 people about us. And do 16 push ups. Do it; we'll know if you didn't. Go on, you can do it." ~ Old Tomato Face, the brains behind the year of numbers. Next week will be 17 Again (2009).
