018 Zymurgists for 9-11

12 September 2009 Show Notes: Episode 18 Zymurgists for 9-11

The Macintosh Prayer

(Let Us Pray)

Steve Jobs, who art in Silicon Valley

Ubiquitous be thy Apple

Thy iPhones surfs, Thy iPods sync

To PCs as they do to Macs

Give us this keynote our yearly revolution

And forgive us our transgressions, as we forgive them that proselytize Windows

And lead us into temptation

But deliver us from Microsoft

For Apple is the dreamer, the designer, the doer, forever and ever.

We're back, baby! ...with less fail this episode! Since we lost so much recording last week, we're giving Adraw & Alienation a second chance to rock our background music scene! After a quick prayer to keep this show fail-free, we jump right in with Rain talking about her puppy Chevron (Chevy). While it will not be revealed to the end of the show, we'll spoil it now and say that Kitty-Kat and Rain are now official co-hosts of the show! [Kermit Flail] First on our agenda (or lack thereof) is talk of ShoWare Stadium in Kent, Wa. and its hosting of the new (lingerie) football team, The Seattle Mist! (Who won their debut game, to boot!) Also making its debut at the stadium was Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus (which also made an appearance at its traditional stop at the Comcast Arena at Everett Events Center). Pimpage then occurs for all (most) of the big Seattle sports teams (though we'll pimp the one's we missed as well in the show links below) in the area. While Glacier Wulf takes (naughty) photos of Kitty-Kat, Osyris and Johnny-B reminisce about a drunken escapade that ended in thong wearage! We then get into the brewing of the IPA & Amber Alt Ale from last week and Johnny-B's modified Ale brew this week. During the talk, we pimp an upcoming video podcast special about our brewing and a possible visual tour of the studio... so stay tuned for that! During the double batch brew fest, we had a marathon of Basic Brewing Video™ in the background! We also get sidetracked by Glacier Wulf and his mead brewing. Ending the brewing topics is a upcoming trip to Leavenworth, Wa. for Octoberfest! (See our episode art work for the final brew topic!)

In our next major topic, we discuss the events 8 years ago on 11 September 2001 (and we observe a moment of silence). We give our two-cents on the subject and its aftermath before misquote President Thomas Jefferson; because it was Benjamin Franklin who truly said, “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Unlike the misquoting we used on the show, the quote here in the show notes is the correct one. On the same post-9/22 line, we then get into the issues of Homeland Security, the TSA, and buses of powers by "security guards". Osyris makes points regarding South American and African leaders in context while Johnny-B notes the issues Adam Curry had entering the country (USA). Plus we recall our own personal first reactions to hearing of the attacks. We then go into the meat of what happened and why the buildings went down. After this, we switch to the Organ State football player who acted like a jackass and disgraced his university, LeGarrette Blount. That churns into Osyris' role in UWT (Butt-Scratcher!?) before devolving into an Family Guy/Adam West/God discussion. Getting into the show stats, we make another John C. Dvorak sighting before going into the nuts and bolts of our small listenership. Going ever further into the ditch, we have a talk about wood. We then bitch at our listeners for not reviewing the show and e-mailing us. Then Johnny-B gets mad over 3-D Home Entertainment Systems before telling us the story of MST3K-ing Passion of the Christ with his brother! We then explain the origins of Honeymoon (Mead). This evolves into breading out atheism.

We cream out pants over the new Beatles Rockband & digitally re-mastered discography of all the band's works. [Kermit Flail!] We pimp the 9/20 Sakura-Con meeting at the WSCTC and give info about what is happening in the next couple episodes, including Osyris going back to TWU. Making the podcast school credits? We'll see! Butt-Scratcher! Our new co-hosts (officially) are announced! Huzzah! After this, since Johnny-B had to be at work (Sunday) at 0700(am), we finally end the show.
