Things I learned at the reunion
Hanging out with all of y'all is an educational experience. I learned so much, I'm going to need to buy a new hat. Here are a few of the tidbits I picked up:
1) That propecia doesn't restore hair, but it prevents hair loss and might actually be good for your prostate.
2) The random number seed from on-line casino sites is generated from the number of mouse movements from users of the sites at that moment rather than from time on a particular computer because someone figured out how to game the system once upon a time (which I find astonishing ... finding out the algorithm would require an inside informant and synching your computer with the casino computer out to the thousandth or millionth of a second is improbably hard).
3) Toy soldiers can replace a child's love of dinosaur football.
4) You need to shake a box of wine in order to chug it.
5) Stealing wireless internet from a neighbor can lead to a relationship.
6) Sprint has better coverage in Williamstown than any other wireless carrier.
7) Cell phones make organization WAAAY easier.
8) US banks are more inward focused than European banks because the market is so big and could give a rat's ass about ethical foreign direct investment.
9) You can take the patent law bar without having a law degree.
10) Digital recording and editing equipment have made it possible for amateurs to make high quality movies.
11) Making a movie on a shoestring budget is really hard and involves a lot of cat herding.
12) Masturbating on stage in front of high school seniors will get you in trouble with the admissions office.
13) Companies want to settle as quickly as possible when their managers screw up.
14) Comedians make good lawyers (six lawyers? that has to be more than a coincidence).
I reckon I'll stop there for now.

I just remembered another couple of lessons learned:
Human League hired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to produce "Human" as their comeback album.
Cereal manufacturers use sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and corn syrup not because using three types of sugars changes the taste, but rather to ensure flour is the ingredient listed first. Clever bastards.
Fuck you, ya bald asshole.
