Something Vaguely Reasonable|S3E9: March 31st Show Episode
On the show this week:-Junior Fight Club, or The UFC Scholastic Team-Eugenics for Dummies Has Been Canceled for Today-The Boarding School for Vampires-Webcomics You Should Be Reading (Yes, You! Over in the Corner! Get Your Hand Out of Your Pants and Read These Comics!)We begin by pointing out the excellent planning on the part of the Republican Party in releasing their budget on April Fool's Day, then wonder why the Trapper Keeper was never used as a D&D item. Ah, Dwarven bikini waxing... We also realize that the year is already a quarter over, and the crew discusses how little they've accomplished. We then introduce our new animal companion, the Emo Emu.Sanguinist starts us up topically by discussing a radical new idea for interpersonal relationship management in a Texas classroom setting; understanding through beating the shit out of each other in an equipment cage. Revolutionary, isn't it? This leads to a quick digression into Chuck Norris seceding from the United States and taking Texas with him and a Russian theory that the United States is going to fracture into four separate countries. Sanguinist also speculates on Obama using the Patriot Act juuuuuust once to make a point while Largo mentions that Norm Coleman is a cheesy bastard. We then look at just how things might pan out if we could actually get that third political party. Yet another SVR superhero closes out this set of digressions as we introduce Godman!Sanguinist drags us back on topic by discussing a fertility clinic that, after about a month or so, decided that offering a service to allow parents to choose the eye and hair color of their kids was really not that grand of an idea, partly because of the finances involved and partly because of ill-informed public outcry. We then somehow get on a Looney Tunes digression before getting on to an all-host rant about the previously mentioned ill-informed public outcry and how it can stymie scientific growth and how science is the work of the Devil. This somehow leads to a digression about SciFi rebranding itself as SyFy. Stupidity (and discussion of stupidity) ensues. This also leads to a quick look at the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which seems to have some potential. And for our second SVR superhero, we introduce Meat-Thing! Those who know hunger burn at Meat-Thing's touch!We pull this tanker back on topic by briefly looking at the Latin School in Boston and the strange belief that either vampires roam the hall or that some students are themselves vampires. This leads to out little anti-Twilight rant. Listen and enjoy.Emailus at:svreasonable@gmail.com. Music usedwith permission by DJ Lodger.
