Great sequence of questions to start if off, btw.

Q. Why do retailers keep credit card numbers on file?

A. Most merchants have technology to capture transactional information, including credit and debit card numbers, and driver’s license numbers for checks. They’re required to keep that as part of their business records and proof of purchase, according to Karl Bjornson , a retail specialist with consultancy Kurt Salmon Associates.

Stores need to be able to tie the customer to the credit card payment system so they can collect the money, Bjornson said, and have the data if customers or banks challenge a charge.

Q. Should consumers store their credit or debit card numbers electronically with online retailers such as Amazon?

A. “I would never do that,” Bjornson said. “I don’t trust anyone with my credit card numbers.”

So, in other words, you’re a fucking idiot. You just said that any company you buy something with a debit/credit card from has to keep that information for a number of different reasons. What difference, then, does being able to take advantage of that fact to avoid reentering your credit info make, exactly?

Firefly > Farscape > Heroes

a > b, maybe?

IMO, Firefly > Farscape > Heroes is really the only things we need to be arguing about at this point. And to be fair, I don’t know for sure that the Whedon could have sustained that level on Firefly for several seasons.

Firefly >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BSG (I wasn’t sure how to express infinitely greater than properly.)

Firefly greater or equal to Farscape.

No flamewar needed.

-”ishdishion” - yeah, I don’t even know how to spell it. It’s kind of an homage to Gamespot’s Hotspot podcast, where they used to say every week “Welcome to another ishdishion of The Hotspot”. I thought maybe game-loving listeners might get the obscure reference.
-”Ear-scratchingly” - this is a reference to the GeeksOn podcast, which someone once called “Ear-scratchingly gay”. The Geeks discussed and laughed about this at length.
-”Frelling” - how dare you defame Farscape? Best frelling SciFi show ever. I mean, I love Battlestar, I love Heroes, and I frelling love The 4400, but Farscape is the best of all of them. Firefly on the other hand, I wasn’t a big fan of. Let the flamewars begin.

-How about nicknaming Karl “Korny”?

-Colin, you should have known. Anything mixed with Yoohoo sucks. Yoohoo mixed with Yoohoo sucks.

-When we bought our cats, we almost named them Chiana and D’Argo. Can’t do it for a human being though. Although we did consider the name “Arya”, a character from George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire books.

-I’ve actually done the run-around-and-get-hit-in-the-head-with-foam-swords thing. Now that’s some freaking exercise. Nothing beats the sensation of sneaking around in the woods on a moonless night and jumping out and scaring a guy so bad that he falls over.

Since then, they’ve gone to the $30 format but all the tastings are 4oz, which is just a waste of time in my opinion. You really can’t get into a beer with only 4oz. at a time.
