Dearest Sneakers, one hundred episodes ago, Ian and David had a little dream. 
“Let’s start a podcast,” said David, and they did. Lots of hard graft and some dumb luck and one hundred episodes later and here we are: the one hundredth episode of Sneaky Dragon! We were pretty excited by this really large, round number so we barnacled ourselves to the Critical Hit Show who let us use the stage of The Rio Theatre after their show.
We had a great show and two great guests. We were joined by David M. (from Episode 34) who sang to us about his problems with Taylor Swift, the ruination of 
Seattle, fun facts about our local city of Surrey and his long-time sponsor, the lime toffee chew bar, Gorgo, and Ben Mills (from Episode 64) who dropped by to tell us about bathtubs, historical towns, cheffing, baseball stories and funny illnesses. We also had two surprise guests! We can’t tell you who they are, but they are known to Dave and their initials are M. and P.
We’d like to thank everyone who made it down to see the show or who stayed after Critical Hit to check us out. We appreciate the support and thanks for listening.
And speaking of our great fans, one of our fans brought some fan art for us to the show. She made me promise not to open it until she was gone, but when we opened it our minds were blown! So thank you Nina Matsumoto for this beautiful Sneaky Dragon Al Jaffee-style Mad fold-in.
Check out all the detail on that page: the Hate Crime Jar, Ian as a dancing pumpkin, Dave shoeing horses and working on a fishing boat, the Beatles’ Revolver…so many. It’s fantastic. Dave was too chicken to try, but Nina did it!
We took the trouble of “folding” the picture in Photoshop so everyone could see the answer:
Isn’t that fantastic? Thank you, Nina!
And if anyone else out there with artistic inclinations would like to send us their interpretations of Sneaky Dragon, we’d love to see them! We look forward to your macaroni glued on leather mosaics and pipe cleaner sculptures!

I just wanted to make it clear that I was not mocking the Cardinals for losing the World Series. I was of two minds with the World Series this year. If one of “my” teams is not in the Series (and they never are), I generally root for the underdog (i.e., not the Yankees). So I was sort of rooting for the Cardinals this year. However, after the Boston Marathon bombings and the fact that BC boy Ryan Dempster plays on the Red Sox, I was sort of rooting for them too. Sorry to all our Cardinals fans, but the Sox’ experience and enthusiasm won out over a team that was kind of gripping it once they got into the finals.
As I said into a dead microphone just before I left the building, “Tonight’s score: Boston 6, St. Louis 1, SNEAKY DRAGON…100!!!!”
