On the May episode of DBVH, we provide passive-aggressive life advice, the latest Khaled Sheikh Mohammed sports analysis, and misleadingly suggestive audio. Plus, the next episode of the USS Carpathia!!
“I started slinging drinks when I was in college on Salgaria. I bummed around from planet to planet for a few years – no real direction to it – until one day some haircut in an AstroBase uniform bellies up to the bar and starts buying me shots. And telling me all about the romance and reward of the military life. Once the hangover wore off, I found out I’d signed up to tend bar on some starship. It’s a decent enough gig. Sure I have to wear long sleeves over my tattoos sometimes. But it’s kind of fun blowing the minds of those hippies back on Salgaria. And what am I supposed to do? Get an MA in English?”
– Lorraine Bain, “Chief Hospitality Officer” aboard the USS Carpathia
