Social Blend AK-47… when you absolutely, positively have to annoy every motherfucker in the room – accept no substitutes!

The wonderful Julie Lujan aka Calinazaret joins us as our guest this week, and she brings up the mysterious story of the piano in the woods.  We also dive back into some rants on Twilight; and Greg gets annoyed at DC Comics for killing off the legend that is Batman.

Meanwhile, Jay examines the possibilities of Star Trek vs. Star Wars, while Greg brings up a collection of photos of a bee infestation that just have to be seen to be believed.

Our band of the week is Australian rock group TKO.  Our usual features of User Focus and Community Focus will return next week.
