Operation: Have a Conversation

Come one, come all, and bring your kids! This time on OHAC, Jack, Mark, and Mikhail have an uncharacteristically positive Corner Case Corner, discuss the implications of an intergalactic pancake, and learn the very important lesson that spaghetti is toast. Now, finish your oatmeal and let’s get going!

The lights come on to reveal a digital time display which starts to blink. It’s counting down. The pressure is on as dramatic music slowly swells bringing the tension to ever greater heights. But don’t worry, it’s non-diegetic. Mark, Jack, and Mikhail slog through the ever-expanding corner case corner only to be faced with the most ambiguous of randomly generated bombs. Sit back, relax, and listen as somebody explodes.

While the world outside is frightful, inside (at their respective places of residence) Mark, Jack, and Mikhail get insightful. In this episode, the boys see the long-awaited return of a dangerously bloated Corner Case Corner and a discussion of their yearly themes, a more helpful alternative to New Year’s resolutions.

Recurring Nightmare

It’s a dark time for the OHAC coalition. Mark has begun dabbling in the dark arts of artificial intelligence. Jack was forced to make the harrowing journey back to the People’s Republic of Illinois. Mikhail’s lights now stay off the entire night through. Yes, dark times indeed.
