Day 29 - MORE Hall & Oates, Mr. Blue is Clever, A Little Time, Kawaii Peripherals, Foolocracy, and Brady Warps

8:19 AM Mr. Blue

"Did that storm bad put some out?" 

"I don't know." 

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I don't understand the bizarre phrasing of your question."

8:24 AM Mr. Blue

"What would you like your username to be?" 

"Uhh, can I change it later?" 

"Yeah, or you could just tell me what you would end up changing it to later."

8:26 AM Mr. Silver

"No.  I have to turn it in to Interpol and the username will be forever associated with your name."

"It's like Tron.  If you lose the name, or fail to follow commands, you'll be subject to immediate de-resolution."

8:29 AM Mr. Blue

heheh

8:30 AM Mr. Silver

Ugh...caller name Oates.  She's talking to the kids.  Named Clay and Dustin. 

"Put Dirt or Filth on the line please."

8:30 AM Mr. Blue

lol

8:37 AM Mr. Blue

I’ll bet they're both red-heads

8:41 AM Mr. Red

Was thinking about John Oates being in Zelie and the comments that were made.
Maybe they're his kids!

8:51 AM Mr. Blue

"Flan Eater" - Hall & Oates

8:54 AM Mr. Silver

I can't help singing Halls & Oates's "Kith Ith On My Lisp" every time it comes on 

8:57 AM Mr. Silver

   "Becauth your kith (your kith) ith on my lisp"

   "Becauth your kith (your kith) I can't rethitht"

   "Because your kith ith on my lisp"

   "Of the betht thingth in liiiiife!"

8:58 AM Mr. Blue

8:59 AM Mr. Silver

What...”Kiss is on My List?

8:59 AM Mr. Blue

yeah

9:02 AM Mr. Red

Agreed. Your rendition is actually pretty good, Mr. Silver

9:02 AM Mr. Silver

"It's true, baby."
"That's so sweet!  (wink) Is it number one?"

"Uh...(pulls out paper) 437th."

"437th???  You keep a real list?"

"OCD...see...right here below Betty Anne's kiss."

(Slap!!!)

9:34 AM Mr. Blue

"Peeping Tom Eyes" - Hall & Oates

9:37 AM Mr. Silver

"I Could Maybe Go for That" - Hall & Oates

"Bitch Girl" - H&O

That last one, BTW, is how I sing it all the time anyway

also "Pirate Eyes"

9:41 AM Mr. Blue

Or “Pirate Eye" I guess...patch.

9:43 AM Mr. Silver

No.  Multiple pirates

9:43 AM Mr. Blue

ah yes

9:09 AM Mr. Red

I found Mr Silver's last night

9:09 AM Mr. Silver

yes?

9:09 AM Mr. Blue

did you search "is Denmark the armpit of the world" on Google?

9:10 AM Mr. Red

Should've

9:10 AM Mr. Blue

I must have an ego, because the funniest stuff is usually my own

9:12 AM Mr. Silver

You do have an ego...my stuff is funniest

9:13 AM Mr. Blue

Anytime I read something of mine that's very old I’m always surprised with how articulate and witty it is

9:15 AM Mr. Silver

I edit you

;-P

Actually I edit all of it a little

Put stuff in more logical order, fix typos

rephrase slightly to render bizarre thoughts into “Earthling” language

9:24 AM Mr. Silver

But to give you credit Mr. Blue, your entries are quite good, which is why I keep telling you that you could write stories if you wanted to

9:25 AM Mr. Red

agreed

9:25 AM Mr. Blue

thanks

10:29 AM Mr. Silver

Thinking of hitting the Batman casting call Sunday

10:29 AM Mr. Blue

They're looking for people that look like criminals and business-types

Which are you?

10:31 AM Mr. Silver

With this hair?

I'm thinking of channeling "Timmy The Screw" and enjoying knives far too much

10:35 AM Mr. Silver

so...businessman

10:39 AM Mr. Gray

I think I'll shoot for the business type. Pretty sure I can fit in my suit again. Though if its hot I may opt for criminal and just go in jeans and a muscle shirt cause I'm not sweating my arse off in a suit LOL

11:05 AM Mr. Silver

    "Next is...Mr. Gray.  Thanks for coming.  Good suit.  I assume you are going for business  

     man." 

    "White collar criminal, sir."

    "Ah"

11:56 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO

11:44 AM Mr. Blue

Here's the final resolution they passed down for my guy's issue:

    “We've seen these before and they seem to start working on their own - let's give it a little

    time”

Unbelievable

"Oh you have no lights and everything is offline?  Well.. I’ve seen this before...let's just give it a little time."

11:57 AM Mr. Red

just give it some time?

11:57 AM Mr. Blue

lol

12:51 PM Mr. Silver

Time heals all wounds...just "some time" fixes all technical issues.

12:51 PM Mr. Blue

"just wait until it's obsolete"

12:51 PM Mr. Blue

I forget how to make a cursive k

12:54 PM Mr. Silver

It's a loop with a loop and a loop

12:54 PM Mr. Blue

heheh.. check out this device info: “Ever Sparkle Technologies Ltd”

1:00 PM Mr. Red

"It's pretty!"

1:01 PM Mr. Silver

"Is the cat5, or as we call it "Precious Pussikins" cable secure, miss?"

1:01 PM Mr. Blue

heheheh

kawaii peripherals

"Place the Hello Kitty end into the modem and the Domokun end into the Wii."

1:02 PM Mr. Silver

"That modem...is it pink, small, a little puffy in appearance with a twinkling heart on the top?"

"No, not that number, miss. That's the model number beside the winking princess character.  I need the serial number next to the flying unicorn."

1:07 PM Mr. Red

“You mean the one that looks like a big puffy sheep?”

1:15 PM Mr. Silver

"Right...kinda swollen and cute?"

1:16 PM Mr. Red

"It's SOOOOO adorable!!"

1:28 PM Mr. Blue

What kind of government is it when people vote on everything?

Not like us, voting for representatives who vote on everything, but people voting on everything

What's that called?

<Blank>-ocracy?

1:33 PM Mr. Silver

“Democracy”

1:34 PM Mr. Blue

Really? We're not a democracy then?

1:34 PM Mr. Red

no

A representative democratic republic
or something close to that
can't remember exactly

1:35 PM Mr. Blue

Why don't we just go democratic for real?

Want a bill or law passed? Let us vote on it.

1:38 PM Mr. Red

We can't get people to vote once every 4 years.
we definitely couldn’t get them to vote on everything

1:40 PM Mr. Blue

Nothing would get done, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing

Also, make it like an training course.. you must read the law/bill, and at the end, you'll get quizzed on what you've read. If you fail the test you didn't understand the bill and you can't vote on it. you must re-read it.

this is pretty much the greatest idea ever!

1:44 PM Mr. Blue

And you also need a percentage of people to vote or else it doesn't pass at all

That way the bills would have to be reasonably short and to the point (no earmarking stuff) or else people wouldn’t have the time to read it and thus wouldn't vote

(Snip a lot more like this as Mr. Blue's scheme gets more and more complicated - Mr. Silver)

1:45 PM Mr. Silver

Mr. Pig-Iron thought that was the greatest idea ever too, until I pointed out that at least 1/2 the people are idiots and easily manipulated, and that's before considering the unbelievable ease with which any public system that could possibly be devised could be hacked or rigged...and that was just before George W. got "elected" the first time.

1:46 PM Mr. Blue

He thought of this? Oh...

Thanks for the “boost”

*loads gun, points at own head*

(On friend's grill recall and $300 credit – Mr. Silver)

7:18 AM Mr. Silver

"Ah yes...the Gas-Bomb 2500 with Shrapneline lid.  No, we're out of stock.  Please take this store credit and don't say anything

7:18 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO

(On skipping a potentially long waste of play time in my D&D game – Mr. Silver)

8:08 AM Mr. Silver

I think I might "Brady Warp" you guys

(wonders if that term lasted...looks it up)

8:10 AM Mr. Gray

Brady Warp?

8:10 AM Mr. Silver

Nope...Google search is empty

A “Brady Warp” is a term I coined for roleplaying gaming that refers to one of those scenes in The Brady Bunch where someone will say something like "That'll never happen" or "Tuesday is going to be groovy!"

and then the screen spins

and they cut to the scene with disaster happening

8:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

8:12 AM Mr. Silver

So to "Brady Warp" in game is to cut out...say...your 1500 miles of sailing Friday.  I started spreading the term about in my early college days and I found out many years later that gamers I'd never met knew the term much further afield...even here in town.

But it looks like its use has petered out

8:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

Hey what about random encounters?

That's only like 15 days with good wind

8:14 AM Mr. Silver

"After many harrowing adventures, our heroes arrive at..." 

8:14 AM Mr. Gray

LOL I'm fine with that

9:07 AM Mr. Silver

So good news.  The blog got traffic again yesterday

9:08 AM Mr. Yellow

ooook

9:08 AM Mr. Gray

From where this time?

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

All Americans...

9:11 AM Mr. Gray

FBI ?

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

(touches nose, points at Mr. Gray)

9:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

12:25 PM Mr. Silver

"Thank you for calling, my name is Mr. Silver.  What's your insipid inappropriate or occult special request?"

12:30 PM Mr. Gray

"Yes Mr. Silver, my computer is possessed by a minor demon. How can I get it out?"

12:34 PM Mr. Green

Sacrifice an animal or small child

12:34 PM Mr. Silver

Pft!  Possession?  Kids stuff.
