	🧩 4:04pm egould: ↳ Cullen @4:03 "It sucks while it cuts!' "It sure does!"
	4:04pm Captin G: Kokie's was terrifying because all the actual cokeheads already had dealers and wouldn't be at a place like that. So the place was full of newbies, furiously grinning and chewing gum, with that loud, loud salsa music
	🧩 4:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Captin G @4:04 Totally. Absolute amateur hour. And occasional gaggle of totally wasted servers from other nearby bars ...

	3:15pm mariano: ↳ mariano @3:14 Which of course was also written by Aiken.
	🧩 3:16pm Matt from Springfield: This B&W short is kinda like a "Budget Bergman" film - even more impressive is the Bergman-like narrative, written over three decades before.

	3:24pm chinn: I am finding the show mildly distressing today (complimentary...)
	3:24pm JG: ↳ Song: "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" by "Conrad Aiken" I was actually watching that on video as Scott played it. I had it almost synched. Maybe a half second off. Extra surreal
	3:24pm Deano de los Muertos: “The Terror” was a good miniseries, for anyone that wants some frozen hell

	🧩 4:04pm egould: ↳ Cullen @4:03 "It sucks while it cuts!' "It sure does!"
	4:04pm Captin G: Kokie's was terrifying because all the actual cokeheads already had dealers and wouldn't be at a place like that. So the place was full of newbies, furiously grinning and chewing gum, with that loud, loud salsa music
	🧩 4:05pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Captin G @4:04 Totally. Absolute amateur hour. And occasional gaggle of totally wasted servers from other nearby bars ...
