So Dave was away doing special session lawyer stuff last night in Denver and left me with all of you people, and I say "you people" in the dirtiest way possible because let's face it...
Holy crap there's a lot of you people. Apparently we had not one, but two different group meet-ups at lovely old Harpo's last night, resulting in what I consider to be quadruple my regular turn-out. But we got through it, we laughed at horrible church covers of otherwise awesome songs, talked about how movies will rape the crap out of the same sappy song over and over for every romantic scene they have. They pulled a Dawson's Creek, or quite possibly use the John Williams Theme Song Generator1.
Overall I had a great time with you guys. I've had to work on my birthday many a years (on a scale from 1-10, how old do I look to you?), but Geeks Who Drink is a job I don't think I'll ever be able to complain about, because you guys are just awesome.
1The John Williams Theme Song Generator is simple: Take whatever is happening in your movie (Darth Vader is attacking, you're seeing an island full of dinosaurs for the first time, whatever) and describe it. The John Williams Theme Song Generator will analyze your description of the scene, totally fucking ignore it, and then play the same goddamn theme song on loop for the rest of the movie.

Greetings, Quizanauts
Can we talk about John Travolta for a minute? There was a sweet Travolta team name (Masseur Lovin’ – Had Me A Blast) that did not receive the raucous reception I thought it deserved, so I mentioned what was going on. I think I may have said “unkempt, wiry pubes.” The bar was silent except for one dude who blurted out, “Yes!” Kinda awkward, but not as awkward as John Travolta’s predilection towards masseuses at bath houses.
If you are unaware, just go read Gawker at work like me, Brad, Nirvan, and that one dude.
Congrats to LLUA: Tom’s a Big Kid Now on juggernauting again and for getting that new gig. Eurolunch is on a run of their own, and Dukes of Valmont found themselves in the money again after a bit of a break.
What did we learn?
- Parsnips are delicious.
- Ska brings back memories of listening to terrible music.
- Harry Hamlin’s wife wears diapers.
- Why did more folk know about Paul Wall than Penny Marshall?
- It’s no wolf, but a penguin is a pretty sweet spirit animal.
- Quizzers don’t like Maurice Sendak jokes.
Here’s the aforementioned Masseur Lovin’ – Had Me A Blast list. Thank god they’re back:
- How disappointing is the world when you can’t even trust a volunteer underwear bomber? Millennials cannot be trusted.
- Have you even been loved by anyone as much as Kenyon Martin’s stalker loves him? No, you have not.
- Why were people shocked, SHOCKED, that the Chinese were shipping powdered baby flesh pills to Korea? Johnson and Johnson has been peddling baby oil for years.
- The headline said something about “obesity epidemic” but all I heard was “big ol’ tittaes.” M-mm-motorin’
- It would be horrible if North Carolinians voted to deny Bobby Hurley and Christian Laettner their rightful matrimonial bond.
- Europe hasn’t been this crazy since they released “The Final Countdown” (insert link HERE)
Your wish is my command, dudes.
That’s it for me, kids. Take care of yourselves and one another out there. If you need me, I’ll be at the spa, telling the masseuse to “make sure you work the glutes.”

Greetings!
‘Twas good, as always, to see your shining faces.
I was worried that we’d have some playoff sports-related conflicts tonight, but you geeks came strong the them mean ol’ sports fans rolled over like a college girl trying to get rich off of Kobe Bryant.
(Am I still allowed to use “Kobe Bryant likes doing white girls in the butt” jokes since the Nuggets are playing the Lakers?)
Anywho, LLUA: John Got Swine Flu! is juggernauting the quiz lately, taking first again. I’m offering a bounty of 3 gummy bears, a Canadian nickel, and an old issue of “The Weekly Standard” to any team that knocks them out of the money. If interested, meet me in the parking lot, so that we don’t talk conspiracy here on the internets. Also, swine flu? The fuck?
Mr. Potatohead and His Big Bucket of Jesus, previous juggernauts, took second. They laugh at my jokes, so they are 1A in my book.
Quiz neophytes Sticky Ticky Slicky Ricky had a strong third place AND the bar serenaded team namesake Ricky for her birthday. Happy birthday, Ricky. I hope you like Steely Dan.
(Seriously, why wasn’t that song in the “sorry, wrong number” round? I refuse to acknowledge you, Steely Dan Haterz.)
Quiz nuggets:
- Fiona Apple’s actual criminality may be suspect, but she is professionally batshit! (Thanks for the new tunes, Ms. Apple, if only so I can reheat this bit.)
- I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If you aren’t down with Phil Collins, then I’ve got nothing to say to you.
- While those Ivy League schools may be pretty exclusive, the percentage of students with STD’s shows that Arizona State University is very accepting!
- What I’m saying is that ASU kids are promiscuous and don’t use rubbers.
- (I have no data to back this up, just stereotypes and conjecture.)
- Clowns are fucked up, am I right?
- You like beating/getting beat by your spouse? Topeka, KS is the place for you! It’s legal!
- Morgan Freeman saying “motherfucker” brings me peace and serenity.
- I’d take Morgan Freeman saying it over Sam Jackson. Argue if you must.
- Drew Barrymore and Reese’s Pieces are not characters from E.T.
Brad, Nirvan, and Co. took the week off, so their list is missing. In their honor, I will keep a place for them:
- (mormons)
- (abortion)
- (rick santorum)
- (hatefucking kim kardashian)
- (anti-semitic baseball player)
Come back soon! I don’t think I did the list justice.
That’s it for me kids. Take care of yourselves and one another out there. I stand by my statement; if you feel wronged, I will hold you tight and stroke your hair for 4 minutes.
