Talko Grande

Food episode starts with a direct reference to cunnilingus, phallic metaphors (bananas), and very sexy missions. Its an all out face basting from the get go.  But it’s so hard to talk about food without digressing to sex, and after a while, we give up trying to avoid the link and go for it.

These recipes were included/covered in this episode, but future recipes can be found at the Talko Grande Recipe page.

The format is constantly changing, but for this and the next episode it really worked. We picked one topic and meandered within it’s boundaries until we just decided to jump the rails and make shit up. We get going and don’t stop until we’ve steamrolled the concept of sanity, hipsters, and George Lucas. Great tangents ensue as the dialogue changes course in interesting ways. Kurt talks about an interesting realization he came to when comparing two different parties he attended on Halloween night. Matt relays his experiences and point of view of the Yellow Bordello (hipster/scene party house in Denver).  Jeff gets really excited about some things (that in hindsight, probably didn’t deserve that much excitement). He also vows that from this point on, its more important to be excited than to be factually correct and he will just be making things up when quotable facts can’t be found. All in all, this one is a crazy trip into a land where 3 guys talk at once, riff on the details, and jump topics until the very end when mid-word a demon takes over Jeff’s body and makes him burp.

You can find the extremely awesome chart describing the paths of Lord Of The Rings characters throughout the trilogy of movies via XKCD comic #657.  I recommend clicking the comic to enlarge it for all the details. The chart also includes the original Star Wars trilogy, Jurassic Park, 12 Angry Men, and Primer. Also, if you’ve got some time, check out the rest of the comics on that site using “previous/next.” I’m halfway through the archives, myself, and I can’t stop clicking on to the next one. Very funny and insightful for the geek minded webcomic enthusiast.

Now, here are some Halloween photos!

“Pueblo’s not just for beaners anymore,” Matt suggests as we discuss the planned obsolescence of things like cars, computers and cellphones. Anecdotes galore.

Don’t punch her in the F.U.P.A. … she might die.

What happens when dogs poop in their sleep?

Do not take Ibuprofen or Aspirin after a night of heavy of drinking. Some people say this is important, including grocery store PA systems, and the people who speak into them.

Later, Kurt gives his perspective on good exercising techniques and practices. Matt offers his prison workout techniques and routines.

Don’t forget to recycle your old cellphone batteries, because Jeff forgot to.  Jeff feels bad for the environment. Jeff feels bad for ending a sentence with a preposition.
