NPR's "Car Talk" Glides To a Halt

stevegee58 writes "After 25 years on the air, Tom and Ray Magliozzi (aka Click and Clack, The Tappet Brothers) are calling it quits in September. With their nerdy humor, explosive laughter and geek cred (both MIT alums) Tom and Ray will be sorely missed by the average NPR-listening Slashdotter." How many garages have names as cool as "Hacker's Haven"? I've long thought that someone should assemble a compilation featuring nothing but hours of their laughter. (Which will be available for sampling, since they will continue to play archived material for a long time yet.)

    Goodbye and good riddance to radio's most irritating show. What people saw in it I do not know. Two guys laughing like hyenas at everything each other says whether it's funny or not. Gimme a break!

      It's a show about a couple of guys having a good time while talking about cars.

      It hits the nail on the head. I'm sorry people laughing cut's you so sharply. really, you should see some one.

      HAHahhahahahahahaha hahaha

      I don't have a problem with people laughing. I have a problem with dialog like the following (from an appearance they made on TV):

      "Do you feel anything coming out of that exhaust?"

      "Yeah."

      "HWAHWAHWAHWAHWA!!!"

      "HWAHWAHWAHWAHWA!!!"

      You think that shit from those jackasses is funny? I think you're the one who needs to see someone.
