Laff Riot 132: Bayesian priors

8:50:01 AM Swindle: How was ATL?
8:50:04 AM Swindle: Answer: AWESOME
8:50:39 AM Nastinchka: We went to that one liquor store and didn't have to battle the traffic tsunami, so success all around.
8:50:57 AM Swindle: You went to Green's?
8:50:59 AM Nastinchka: YES
8:51:02 AM Nastinchka: J'adore
8:51:05 AM Swindle: On ponce?
8:51:08 AM Nastinchka: Yes yes
8:51:34 AM Swindle: you know I worked there during my post-grad malaise, right?
8:51:49 AM Nastinchka: I did NOT.
8:51:56 AM Nastinchka: But that is delightful.
8:52:34 AM Swindle: I could walk there, so during the day i interned at the Carter Center, and at night I stocked beer in the cooler
8:52:41 AM Nastinchka: Awww
8:52:50 AM Swindle: The guy who did the job before me? Died a month before
8:52:56 AM Swindle: From cirrhosis
8:53:03 AM Swindle: he was 40
8:53:22 AM Nastinchka: !!
8:53:36 AM Swindle: Yes. I have a lot of really good stories about that place
8:53:54 AM Swindle: That's where I heard the immortal phrase "Never fails: little woman, big vagina."
8:54:49 AM Swindle: I also had a co-worker who threw an entire crate of wine off a staircase just to see what it looked like
8:55:03 AM Nastinchka: I'm confused why you left.

8:55:20 AM Swindle: the preferred entertainment for the morning was to watch the drunk tank get let out from the jail across the street
8:55:38 AM Swindle: i always liked to imagine it to different themes
8:55:51 AM Nastinchka: The Three's Company theme
8:56:10 AM Swindle: Good one!
8:56:18 AM Swindle: I have the urge to describe it, so I will
8:56:19 AM Nastinchka: We've been waiting for yooooou
8:56:26 AM Swindle: Usually about 15 guys
8:56:38 AM Swindle: They'd stagger out in their worst and unfinest
8:56:44 AM Swindle: one would fall
8:56:47 AM Swindle: Always
8:57:28 AM Swindle: In their own staggery Brownian motion
8:58:23 AM Swindle: My favorite theme for it was "Flight of the Cosmic Hippo" by Bela Fleck

7:42:18 PM Livia: I really can't wait to watch your parents interact with Doug
7:42:41 PM Livia: While Jesse and I cavort, stomping our cloven feet in the flames that so often accompany us
7:43:03 PM Livia: Bill's gonna be AWESOME
7:43:28 PM Nastinchka: There is an INTENTIONS TOWARD MY DAUGHTER speech that he hasn't gotten to give in about five years, which is the last time I brought a boy home.
7:43:46 PM Livia: Your Mom will be Prissy, and Bill will be General Sherman
7:44:54 PM Livia: I am going to do my utmost to make this into an Incident that will never be forgotten
7:45:10 PM Livia: You don't want me to have a boring summer....do you?
7:45:14 PM Nastinchka: Would never.

7:46:23 PM Swindle: I met TBL. It was like shaking hands with a vacancy
7:46:28 PM Nastinchka: Whooooa
7:47:00 PM Swindle: He talked with nobody who blogged.
7:47:16 PM Swindle: Just sat there and mooned over Josh Elliott and Jimmy Traina
7:47:31 PM Nastinchka: Did he come witn an entourage of trained monkeys in bellhop outfits?
7:47:41 PM Nastinchka: I imagine him traveling by luggage cart, all WHEEEEE
7:47:58 PM Swindle: I mean this. He is Brick Tamland

7:49:42 PM Livia: No amount of nose petting will rectify this. Also, Emmy might join me in choreographing routines this year
7:49:50 PM Nastinchka: Oh, SWEET
7:50:44 PM Nastinchka: brb, need sammich
7:51:16 PM Livia: Picture it. Tennessee, 2009. A group of impressionable young cheerleaders are dazzled by a routine choreographed by a beautiful blonde goddess (Emmy), a stunning, vixenish brunette (Me), and that girl who cries all the time while looking at pictures of Zac Efron (Jay)
7:55:02 PM Livia: It will be like Bring It On and Clockwork Orange had a baby
7:55:55 PM Livia: Or, more accurately, it will be like Center Stage meets Fear
7:56:27 PM Livia: I'm joining Cooper's company--JUST LET ME IN THE FUCKING HOUSE
7:57:54 PM Livia: AND
7:58:02 PM Livia: I JUST FOUND THE MUSIC WE'LL BE CHOREOGRAPHING TO
7:58:24 PM Livia: Imagine Barbie Girl meets Maximus
7:58:31 PM Livia: There is nothing you can do to prepare yourself for this
8:02:06 PM Livia: I cannot stop listening to awful theme remixes
8:02:37 PM Livia: last of the mohicans is priceless
8:03:16 PM Livia: Oh God
8:03:18 PM Livia: OH GOD
8:03:21 PM Livia: I AM GOING TO PEE
8:04:26 PM Livia: THERE REALLY IS A GONDOR REMIX
8:05:34 PM Livia: Oh my God, can we PLEASE do a routine to the T2 theme?!!? I won't ask for anything, ever.
8:06:28 PM Livia: This plays as I come down the aisle, or I'll walk out
8:07:17 PM Nastinchka: ch ch ch chchHOOO HOOO
8:08:04 PM Livia: I honestly cannot stop
8:08:38 PM Nastinchka: I'd be hugely disappointed if you did.

Swindle: Wow. T. Kyle's piece is exactly 5,000 words
Nastinchka: ...of course it is.
Swindle: Including headers
Nastinchka: Because you asked him for 5,000 words.
Swindle: ...
Nastinchka: You feel like that scene in Finding Nemo where you slowly realize he's surrounded by jellyfish?
Swindle: yes

7:50:17 PM ____: One of my students just e-mailed me to say she named her pet rat Hephaestus
7:50:23 PM Nastinchka: SUCCESS
7:50:25 PM ____: I feel so proud
7:50:39 PM ____: And you know how I feel about real, non-Leroy rats
7:51:28 PM ____: I honestly feel like this is a better indication of success than, like, a pay raise.

Nastinchka: Hey, you busy?
Doug: A little, why?
Nastinchka: I just crave your instant feedback and constant adoring attention.
Doug: It does get addictive, doesn't it?
Doug: Curse my intoxicating charm!
Nastinchka: We all have our crosses to bear.

8:10:35 PM Livia: Is there such a thing as a Gozer remix? Let's find out?
8:11:17 PM Livia: "I am the Gatekeeper Sean Kingston REEEEEEMIIIIIIIIIX"
8:11:28 PM Nastinchka: JESSE COULD MAKE ONE
8:11:56 PM Livia: OH MY GOD
8:13:35 PM Livia: Intercut with Scarlett saying she hates Melly's baby, Frodo bellowing "THE RING IS MINE", and Anton Yelchin warbling "Wictor Wictor"
8:13:48 PM Livia: Why can I hear this so clearly?
8:13:59 PM Nastinchka: Because God is whispering RIGHT IN YOUR EAR
8:19:14 PM Livia: So many possibilities
8:19:33 PM Livia: Why did I never think of forcing Jesse to make cheer mixes?
8:19:59 PM Nastinchka: Because he's lazy and wouldn't follow through
8:20:27 PM Livia: I'm pretty sure if I said "Mix Zuul with The Killers and Kelly Clarkson", he'd do it
8:20:30 PM Livia: Imagine....
8:21:09 PM Livia: My life! (ZUUUUUUUUL) Would suck! (ZUUUUUUUUL) Withouuut you! (HE DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE JESUS)
8:21:13 PM Nastinchka: And then at the end the music stops, and it's just White Goodman hissing FACIAL, LAFLEUR, TOTAL FACIAL while the girls pretend-slap their own faces, then fall to the ground. Fade to black.

2:22:07 PM Nastinchka: I really like how when you use the "send link" function from Blogger, it tells me I have an email from Chancellor of the Sexchequer Doug Gillett.
2:22:15 PM Doug: heh
2:22:22 PM Nastinchka: But not as much as I like my Apple Mail automatically adding that to my address book.

2:21:07 PM Swindle: Damn you prosecco
2:21:11 PM Nastinchka: [pet]
2:21:15 PM Swindle: I really could be a Larry Hagman drunk
2:21:24 PM Swindle: Champagne is the perfect drug
2:22:02 PM Nastinchka: You're born in the wrong era, bro
2:22:23 PM Swindle: No way. This is time. It's mine, motherfucker. CHAMPAGNE DRUNKS UNITE

9:13:10 PM Nastinchka: Hamilton is really the one who gets me all hot & bothered
9:13:16 PM Nastinchka: ?but Jefferson has a pavilion. FIE, my weak woman's heart!
9:13:26 PM PB: I'm writing that down.
