Headscratchers / Party Down

• In Cole Landry's draft day party, why is the pre-med student so shocked that the guy gives him semen. A) he is a pre-med student and B) he basically was in on the joke from the start
  • He didn't think that getting roped into a quick, simple prank would suddenly involve the guy handing him semen. A pre-med student is still a human being and be prone to getting freaked out by a man handing you his spooge.

• Why don't they ever vary staff size? Some events like the class reunion and the gay wedding require lots of people whereas the homeowners party seems like six people.
  • Blame it on the customers. They paid the price for that size of catering.

• Would the AA really ever kick you out of the organization? Especially, for something minor as asking your sponsor to do aquarium repair. Isn't AA about having a place to go when everyone else turns you down?
  • A quick google search suggests that AA does have measures to address disruptive or abusive behavior, which makes sense. You'd expect that they wouldn't go right to kicking Ron out for something so small, but there would be a line that he could eventually cross.

• Why didn't Ron simply cancel the check in the "Investors Dinner"
  • Ron is established to be quite the clueless businessman. He might be unaware that he can cancel a check after he's written it.
