Yikes, conversation has slowed down. C'mon west coasters.
Um. Ah.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
By the end of the day, you have consumed a metric ton of bacon
Like that is a bad thing?
Full disclosure: At Genie's with Jilli, we will order a bacon Bloody Mary and then bacon benedict. The time she ordered something else, we got a side of bacon to split. I regret nothing. (She takes the celery from my drink in our exchange of garnish hostages. Celery is not my friend. An olive and cute peppers are.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Like that is a bad thing?
Not at all.
At our first fest, we had eaten a ton of bacon and had made sure to drink a LOT of water. Around 7pm, I looked at my friends and said, "Ok, I know we're close friends so I can ask this. Have any of you pee'd since about noon?" The resounding answer was no.
The next morning, I asked, "Around 4 this morning, did any of you wake up and have to pee like a racehorse??" The resounding answer was yes.
The bacon-induced salt dam had finally broken and all the water we drank flushed out our systems!

Okay, I need to get up in about 4 hours so I should probably go to bed. See y'all on the flip side, with some salty bacon.

I think that much bacon would have adverse effects on the other end. Unless I ate 2x the bacon amount in fiber.

Being the sound guy I am, I have to say, a lot of the tv shows I watch seem to have more and more scenes where the folks are clearly wired for sound on radio mics... And the mics are clearly buried under too much clothing, and they didn't spend any time in post to try and brighten up the sound, so it's all muffled. C'mon people. For years they did this. What happened?

Lack of union people. Outsourcing. The usual suspects.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What happened?
It's always surprising/disappointing when technique devolves instead of continuously getting better.
But there are musical recordings in the fifties and then again in the early seventies which sound so much richer than recordings do today, because there was a particular balance of analog recording technique/equipment and musical competence.
Then you lose a generation of studio musicians who were trained in jazz, move to digital add drum machines and voila - you've got the 80s. Steve Lillywhite figures out how to get that gated drum sound and at first it sounds so BIG and impressive but then it's so easy to duplicate that it becomes this cheezy effect done without any nuance.
