Hey everybody, we recorded on Monday night this week because Matt had a man-date on Wednesday night. We persevered, drank some Guinness and talked about a ton of stuff.We discuss the practicality of a working bubble mower, falling down the stairs and the safety of theaters in general. The gang all performed in VilTen this last weekend leading to a very tired Matt discovering he had packed an inappropriate lunch for himself on Monday, see if you can spot the problem:
Sigh.
We then talk about The Hunger Games as Matt and Jena have read the books and Salsa has seen the movie. Jena went to our friend and Matt’s former boss Mark’s entrepreneurial seminar. This leads to a discussion of small businesses and businesses we’ve thought of starting, followed by some talk of economics in general. We round things out by talking about home-based businesses and pyramid schemes. Also, Matt went to his first gun show.
Jena broken at 0:05?
Don’t get me started on the wonders of Guinness. It’s like the blowjob of beers. Even the worst Guinness is pretty darned good.
15:00 – Those aren’t “stairs,” they’re a fucking bookcase leaned back against the wall.
19:00 I sat there watching Matt drawing he dick on Fitz’s head…
39:00 “We figured it all out later”
When will you let us know what you figured out?
45:00 Entrepreneurship: My BUSINESSES have never failed… my surrounding LIFE failed. In 1986 we sold my first business to a guy.. and then he was arrested by the IRS for tax evasion and the IRS took the assets for payment. In 1987 my second attempt at this was going great guns… until the guy I’d hired to write my code “stole” my girlfriend of three years and I just said “fuck it” at that point and went crazy.
My current business was supposed to be a buttkicking consulting firm where other people worked and I got the money… but my three business partners all pissed out and took jobs someplace else because they didn’t have the balls to be entrepreneurs. But I’m still running the business, as my only employee…
Honeytown big? yeah, yeah, yeah!
also, in the joker/luthor debate, I would like to present exhibit a: Mark Hamill

The Mockingjay is a symbol of rebellion and defiance, and is actually explained in the first book. Something along the lines of the Capitol genetically engineering a strain of mockingbirds to not just be able to mimic bird calls, but to mimic entire human conversations if it happened to hear one and then theoretically fly back to the Capitol and recite them, possibly revealing enemy plans. The rebellion figured this out pretty quickly, and spent the rest of the war feeding bullshit to these birds and misleading the hell out of Capitol troops. The project was grudgingly deemed a complete failure, but most of the birds still survive in the wild. The Mockingjay remains a symbol of one small victory in what was otherwise a crippling defeat.
Drink.
