This week is all over the place! We’ve got discussion of art, reviews of four, yes FOUR different movies, some old standup comedy schlock, and an actual discussion of sex that lasts for, like, four whole minutes before William blushes hard enough for his head to explode!

12 minutes of fame, yeah!
I am caught up (mostly, listening to #9 as I leave this comment). I just forgot about William discussing that previously.
While the question for the hat was slightly long, I was a bit surprised that Tony didn’t recognize the setup of the question (it was based on a scene in Shawn of the Dead).
If you want deep questions maybe you should teach TMTH to use a computer, so it can display more complicated questions on a screen. This will also solve the “hard work” issue that Tony keeps complaining about.

The fact that nobody caught my movie reference kinda makes me a sad panda. 🙁
(I’ll save you the google search – it was from Ghostbusters. Larry King asked Ray Stantz, “How is Elvis, and have you spoken with him lately?”)
I don’t know, you call yourself “Useless Trivia Man”. Doesn’t that kind of implied that nobody but you would get your reference?
Novices can distinguish professional art from the work of pre-schoolers (and animals). If you listened to me when I talk, I've told you this before. 😛
At “How is Elvis and have you talked to him lately.” I was screaming “IT’S A QUOTE FROM GHOSTBUSTERS! GHOSTBUSTERS! GHOOOOOSTBUSTERS!!!!”
Possibly I should cut back on the caffeine.
On the subject of driving away from shambling zombies and you hit somebody, there are several things to consider.
1. A person standing in the middle of a street, even in a zombie apocalypse, is probably a zombie so it’s probably safer to not get out of your car.
2. If you are driving at a speed faster then 14 mph the person you just hit, if not a zombie or in anyway infected with whatever makes zombies, is either dead or severely injured. If dead there’s nothing you can do for them. If they are injured and you are not a person with adequate medical training you would be hurting your chances of survival if you picked them up. The injured person will be a drain on your resources, slow you down and put you in danger because they need you to protect them.
In theory the right answer is to keep driving and once you made your choice to do that you do NOT then at some later time cave to your conscience and go back.
I would not be able to do that. In my opinion, just about anybody who is not a zombie deserves kindness and a chance to live. (That’s just how I roll.) What I would do is slow down and put a bit of about 20-30 feet between the end of the car and the person I hit. (So I could see them in the mirror or out the window.) I would observe if and how the person is moving. If they move at all I will turn the car around and carefully pull up along side of them so I can observe them closer from inside the car. This is assuming an injured living person is visibly different from a damaged zombie (even a fresh one). Humans will be (cautiously) helped, zombies will get a second taste of my treads.
Heh… awesome…
