This episode, Matt and Salsa talk about beer, insomnia and Matt sells all his CD’s. Welcome to the future.
In other important news, here are the rules for our version of Uno as a drinking game:
We find that the best way to set up the game is to get a boot, the German glass drinking kind, and use that for the drink assigned by the game. Each player should also have a beer of their choosing for sipping while playing, in case Das Boot does not come their way often enough. As for what beer to put in Das Boot, we recommend a mid-range beer, a Nordeast or Killians or Sam Adams, that way even your punishment drinks are enjoyable.
The drinking rules:
- If you are skipped, take a drink.
- If a player plays a reverse card, the player who was next in line to play but is no longer must take a drink.
- If you are on the receiving end of a Draw 2, take 2 cards and 1 drink.
- If you are on the receiving end of a Wild Draw 4 take 4 cards and 2 drinks.
- The effects of a Draw 2 or Wild Draw 4 can be avoided by playing the same card on top of it. (i.e. If Matt plays a Draw 2 on Salsa, and Salsa then plays another Draw 2, that’s 4 cards and 2 drinks to Gretta, who is up next.) There is no limit on how far around the table or how many times around you can pass the cards/drinks. Whenever it does end, the recipient must take the total number of cards and drinks, if it made it’s way all the way around the table, the entire table takes a community drink.
- As usual, once you are down to one card you must yell, “Uno!” If you forget and are challenged, you must take a drink. If you are falsely accused of forgetting to say Uno, the challenger must take a drink. (and then explode)
- Whomever runs out of cards first is the winner, and the remaining players must take a community drink.
- Finally, the person with the most cards in their hand (the biggest Library) at the end of the game is to be called Alexandria during the next game.

So where did Matt sell his CDs?
Job hunting:
I was looking for a part time job to supplement our game business not long ago and was really frustrated by 2 things.
1 Places that gave -no acknowledgement at all- of receiving your app, not even a bugger off. It would take mere seconds to send a form letter Email saying “thank you for the application, you’ll hear from us if we think you aren’t a moron” -especially if you’ve applied online.
2 The number of companies that ask for a resume, and then ask you to fill out an application that consists of everything on your resume…
I worked in public libraries for 18 years, which I think made it a lot easier to decide which books I no longer need and sell them at Half Price Books. Otherwise I would probably be a book hoarder, so now I really only keep ones I KNOW I’ll read again some time, or non-fiction that I know I’ll probably want for reference purposes again.
I’ve also never been into buying movies, there just aren’t that many that I want to watch over again enough times to be worth the money, We’ve got a couple dozen VHS tapes and we’ll probably replace 1/4 with DVD, but will probably bring the tapes to our friends’ annual book exchange party.
A couple years back we got an Apple Airport Express, so for parties we broadcast a iTunes playlist directly to our stereo, so I’ve been toying with the idea of buying a used laptop with a large external HD and just use it as the “juke box” and get rid of the 5-disk CD player we haven’t used in ages.
Hi, Thanks for sharing such a wonderful piece of information. I must say that while reading your post I found my thoughts in agreement with the topic that you have discussed, which happens very rare.
I actually found one place that didn’t make you fill out an application if you had a resume. The Wells Fargo Careers site specifically says “…if information is not already on the resume.” It saved me mucho time NOT having to fill out yet another form.
