Seems like every day I meet more guys on a Raytheon coop program or some other project building weapons. How are you supposed to respond when all you can think about when looking at them is the deaths and the blowback their work is directly causing? I know that being well adjusted to a sick world is not a good thing, anyone who can shrug off mass murder to be professional is on their way to being a ghoul themselves.

That being said though, if I went on a Jeremiad every time I met one of these guys I'd be an utter pariah. So fair I've just tried to avoid these people and used them as a reminder of what we struggle against. How do you deal with it?

I was SO hoping someone would get the joke so I didn't look crazy

GO TEAM VENTURE!

Hell, I made a Venture Bros. joke on the Testicular Torsion post the other day

There's also a photo of me dressed up like Number 21 out there somewhere

Next question - a person, or just a skull?

It was my buddy, I'm was just shy of six feet and a little dumpy and he was 6' 3" and rail skinny so it worked like a dream

Yeah, we were at Wizard World in Chicago back around 2008

The wings were a pain in the ass, but I think it added to the character that I was finagling with them and trying to scoot past everyone

Oh absolutely. If you're ever back in the Midwest, holler at your corgi!
