No Larry tonight, just Prison Porn.
A true enough story- my brewing buddy started throwing massive Halloween parties to show off his incredible sound system long before he started brewing. At the very first one we set up a bunch of stations with vintage computer and game systems and a projection TV. The concept was that he’d do some music video mixing and people would dance, but we made the mistake of showing the first 10 minutes of Raiders to ‘demonstrate the capabilities’ (it really was the best 10 minutes in movies until it was recently supplanted by Saving Private Ryan’s 27 minute opening).
Needless to say what we ended up doing was planting everyone on couches for the entire evening in drooling worship to the Hypnotoad.
In later years we not only ditched the TV, but also started limiting the seating.
It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.

Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you’re fighting for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can’t win. It’s pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?
Because I choose to.
