The SussMan Cometh
David Sussman quickly made a name for himself on Ricochet with his writing, insight, and solid demeanor. I was surprised when he invited me, the human embodiment of entropy, down to Freedom Fest in Las Vegas this July 19th-22nd. More on that later and the potential super cool Ricochet Vegas Friday night fun fest.
I met the man via phone a couple years ago and I’ll be darned if he didn’t interview me in his own sneaky way. We hit it off and I met a fellow traveler who likes to study humans. If you watch Whiskey Politics, and you should or else…., it’s easy to see David’s easy style bring out the most in a person.
I will be watching this first hand as Melissa Promotiontorious has procured a press pass and a video camera for me. My roles are legion and will be interspersed with taking medical calls so the man gets to see my existence, for better or worse. I get to film him, be interviewed by him, lug cameras around, and bring in folks to be interviewed. I will feed prospective clients booze or witty banter and lure them, already socially lubricated, in to David’s interviewing web. That’s the loose plan. There’s a lot of man in that web. We have 12+ feet, 300 IQ points, and over 420 pounds of solid dude there so the flies will come.
Let me tell you how this all came together. David calls me and says,”Jay baby, you’re lonely and I have a party going on. You’re invited”.
“Sweeet, what’s going on?”
“So much fun dude. First we will start drinking and talk politics. Then we will keep drinking and talk about life. Then more drinking and some wrestling followed by lots of sex”.
“Awesome David, I’m totally down for it, what should I wear?”
“Oh come as you are Jay it will just be the two of us”.
Vegas Freedom Fest here I come.

Since we seem to be dredging our memories for STEM witticisms, there’s this:∫ 1/x dx = ln[x] +C
So what’s ∫ 1/cabin dcabin?
Answer: houseboat.
Yep: log cabin + sea
But my favorite life sciences building graffito was from a great Marxist philospher:
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Didn’t the last time DocJay and the Richocetti gathered in Las Vegas somebody did something to a giraffe that ended in them leaving Ricochet? Will Vegas survive this time?
Well, Troy left, but I don’t think it had anything to do with the giraffe.
Just a sexual joke made between a bunch of somewhat buzzed Rico guys. Troy would not want it repeated just because he’s a classy man and has a career and doesn’t want to be on some predator list….wait, I’ve said too much.
Have a good time, you crazy kids.
Sexual joke about a giraffe? So this joke is the reason he was found after the Nashville meet up in the giraffe pen, wearing some sort of custom giraffe pajamas?
“somewhat buzzed” ? hahahahaha At some point, I’m having a picture taken of you and Dave, the great men, with me, standing behind you, rolling my eyes.
Addiction , if you are gone that weekend I might wrangle Melissa or Dave for a lunch.
I have a job to do though. A J O B baby

…We’re blushing over here…And Friday the 21st is totally doable! I’ll take care of it :)
Thanks! Could we do it at 5 PM? We should be able to wrap up at the conference in time, and hopefully beat the dinner rush
Perfect! 5pm it is :D
We are all set! Friday, July 21, 2017, 5pm! Battista’s Hole In The Wall Restaurant
I’ll do a more detailed post with the particulars as we get closer…VEGAS, BABY, VEGAS :D
Thanks for that. We shall see how many show but whatever it is will be fun.
You folks are cutting it close!! I live in Las Vegas, and totally want to come to the dinner on Friday night. But, I’m driving to Simi Valley to watch the Peter Robinson interview at the Reagan Library the next day! But…since I don’t do alcohol, I’ll probably be fine. See you there! Battista’s Hole In The Wall Restaurant
Peter Robinson and Pat Seajack will be doing the Reagan Library on Sunday :)
Pat Sajak has a relative in the Sea Services?! :-D (Sounds like you’re gonna have a fabulous time.)
I don’t think I will fight autocorrect on this, Nanda. Lol!
