Episode 14: Slaves and Mercenaries

October 1st, 2009

In which we:
-Talk about the G20 protests that whipped through our fair city
-Talk, for some reason, mostly about the horrible losing season streak of the Pittsburgh Pirates

Show Notes:

Okay guys, I’ll admit that when running through Pirates history off the top of my head, I messed up a bit on the timeline of Andy Van Slyke vs. Barry Bonds free agency. Van Slyke was not a free agent at the time that Bonds was, so the choice between them was not literal. Instead, watching Bonds continue to blossom in SF while Van Slyke succumbed to age in Pittsburgh was merely emblematic of the horrible futility to come for the next 17 years of Pittsburgh baseball.

But really, it’s baseball, so you probably don’t care anyways.

Counter-Surveilance Photographs

September 28th, 2009

Here, as promised, are the Counter-Surveillance photos of the dudes at the Dominion Gas shed taken from my excellent vantage point.

They have since departed. Possibly because they knew I was onto them and their shady dealings, possibly because they were disconcerted that a weird guy was taking photos from his apartment while they were just doing their job, probably because they were done guarding whatever they were guarding.

Attempts to get a wiretap warrant have failed, mostly because I am not an officer of the law.

Episode 13: Counter-Surveillance

September 24th, 2009

In which:
-Dave assumes he knows things about both surveillance and the plight of inner cities because he’s seen The Wire
-We discuss the Kanye West thing, so we as a society can move on
-We dissect a curious, curious quote

and shit just gets generally spooky.

Bloody Mary, for Reference

September 17th, 2009

Here’s a simple reference recipe for the Bloody Mary, to jog your memory:

Bloody Mary

Here’s the classic Bloody Mary recipe. Enjoy!

1 1/2 ounces (1 jigger) vodka
1/2 cup tomato juice
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Tabasco to taste
1 celery stick for garnish
1 lemon wedge for garnish

Combine the vodka, the tomato juice, the lemon juice, the Worcestershire sauce, the Tabasco, 1 cup ice cubes, and salt and pepper to taste, shake the mixture well, and strain it into a tall glass filled with ice cubes. Garnish the Bloody Mary with the celery stick and the lemon wedge.

(via DrinksMix.net).

So yeah, something kinda like that, but with that extra, Chunky kick. Or maybe not at all like that. Definitely Chunky though.
