Day 39 - Mr. Blue Needs Women, Lawful-Sharia Characters, Torchwood Versus The Doctor, Caffeine's Poster Boy, and There's Noah Dinosaurs in the Bible of Gilgamesh,

12:28 PM Mr. Blue

I think I’m gonna delete (onetime girlfriend) off Facebook. She's not making the effort to be even the friend that she claimed she wanted to be

12:29 PM Mr. Silver

Didn't even realize you had any contact since the last "the end" (like 9 months ago - MS)

12:30 PM Mr. Blue

minimal

12:40 PM Mr. Silver

I don't think she's taking the romance seriously.  Have to tell her it's over. 

12:41 PM Mr. Blue

I’ll give her another shot to hang out

12:41 PM Mr. Silver

"We never talk anymore...it's just sex sex sex!  Wait...wrong Messenger."

12:41 PM Mr. Blue

I texted her in like.. April, telling her I missed talking to her and stuff.

12:59 PM Mr. Silver

You need a new prospect

Mail order?

12:59 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

1:00 PM Mr. Silver

"Well let's take a look at your application form, Mr. Blue. I see you drew in your own price-range box for $50-500. Very creative, sir."

1:00 PM Mr. Blue

lol

1:20 PM Mr. Blue

I seem to go for difficult girls

but not the typical type... I don't go for girls out of my league or anything. Just difficult in a different way

1:22 PM Mr. Silver

“Rubik's Girl”

1:39 PM Mr. Blue

I have a healthy crush on someone, but I don't want to say more than that.

1:43 PM Mr. Silver

Here?

1:44 PM Mr. Blue

If I start answering yes or no questions you'll probably end up guessing it right

1:44 PM Mr. Silver

You're learnin'  ;-)

hehe

I nailed Mr. Gray with a well-timed "What's he like?" in a group several weeks ago when he announced he was seeing someone.

good reactions

1:47 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

I was gonna put on Facebook "I like my coffee like I like my women. (I like black women)"

1:50 PM Mr. Silver

or "iced"

1:50 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

That's a good one, might use that

8:09 AM Mr. Silver

Decided to look up the Taliban this morning

8:09 AM Mr. Blue

Interesting?

8:09 AM Mr. Silver

No. Started skimming pretty early

Just the worst kind of people with the worst end-justifies-means attitude

8:11 AM Mr. Blue

They've got a pretty sweet life with their strict sharia law

Not 'sweet' as we might know it, but sweet for them

8:12 AM Mr. Silver

A “paradise on earth”, truly.  Except everyone is completely miserable.

And in the effort to keep it that way...hey...”evil is okay” for that.

8:18 AM Mr. Silver

I think the intellectual discussions of principles versus dogma versus faith versus modern sensibilities versus culture and such that the scholars go through discussing and analyzing the Taliban could be safely replaced with a five-year-old's "They're bad"

8:18 AM Mr. Silver
Or a D&D player's "They're Lawful Evil"

(Discussing new season of Torchwood, partially reconstructed – Mr. Silver)

9:00 AM Mr. Silver

If I recall correctly, the "Miracle Day" plot begins with nobody dying anymore (looks)

9:04 AM Mr. Silver

Nod...yup...nobody dies a la "The Soldier and Death" and the population of Earth starts to balloon

9:05 AM Mr. Silver

And Torchwood is going to have to try to solve it without The Doctor. He'd have it figured out and fixed in a day.

9:05 AM Mr. Silver

“Oh! I see...immortality attack. Sontarans I should think. (Fiddles with Torchwood equipment) Ah yes, there, you see? Sontaran warship in Earth orbit. You can see the distortion. Have it fixed in a jiff, just a moment (More fiddling). Right, done, field is nullified. I'll just pop off and tell them to leave. Back in a bit. (Jumps into TARDIS).”

9:11 AM Mr. Brown

Wow! Need to stop drinking coffee.

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

9am buzz?

9:12 AM Mr. Brown

I think I’m caffeine sensitive and coffee seems to hit me the hardest.

Its making me sweat

And feel jittery

Drinking anything else with caffeine in it does not do this to me

Just the coffee

My lip is twitching now too

9:13 AM Mr. Red

So much for that double pot

9:13 AM Mr. Silver

You should advertise for Folgers, Mr. Brown

9:17 AM Mr. Silver

"Folgers crystals hit you fast and hard! That jittery feeling and systemic flushing is a patented process we call "The Sweats"! Drinking anything else just can't do it!"

10:40 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/23/scientists-want-to-dig-up-shakespeare-to-find-out-if-he-smoked-weed/

10:46 AM Mr. Blue

YYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

10:47 AM Mr. Red

Too be or...what was that again duuude??

10:47 AM Mr. Blue

lol

11:22 AM Mr. Brown

So he was a druggy

That’s how he came up with good stories

12:17 PM Mr. Silver

"Thanks for calling, my name is Mr. Silver, how may I help you."
"Uh...hello?"
"Yes? Hello?"
"Ok...just wanted to make sure I got a live person."
"Yep, I'm alive."
“Good...okay..."
"...If you'd like Technical Support press 1.  For Account Inquires press 2.  For Sales press 3." 

(sooooo tempting....)

12:18 PM Mr. Red

You should've

1:00 PM Mr. Brown

That would have been awesome

1:21 PM Mr. Brown

I'm still trying to figure out the point of the dinosaurs

1:24 PM Mr. Red

Eat poop and sleep

That’s the point

1:27 PM Mr. Silver

They eat poop?

1:27 PM Mr. Red

,

eat, (comma) poop...

lol

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

What's the point of us?

1:30 PM Mr. Brown

Earth keepers

1:30 PM Mr. Blue

We're doing a horrible job

The dinosaurs did a better job than we did

1:30 PM Mr. Brown

Yeah, we suck at it right now

1:45 PM Mr. Brown

I contest greatly anybody using the argument that dinosaurs are here to test our faith

1:46 PM Mr. Blue

Nobody says that

But people say that dinosaurs never existed and god put the fossils there to test our faith

1:47 PM Mr. Silver

I adore that

Literalist people loudly arguing that a couple vague words = dinosaurs are in the Bible and another set of different literalists saying fossils are a test and the animals never existed.

1:49 PM Mr. Blue

Everything is apparently a test of our faith

like verifiable evidence

To be a “true” Christian or Jew, I guess you basically have to block out reality completely

1:50 PM Mr. Brown

Do the Jews say that about dinosaurs? (“test of faith” I assume. Chopped a bit - MS)

1:51 PM Mr. Blue

There's different kinds

Just like Christians, there's hardcore biblical literalists, moderates, and then you've got the Sarah Silvermans and Larry Davids

1:52 PM Mr. Silver

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, Restaurante Style, Deluxe Assortment, Chocolate Chip and Family Size Variety Pack

1:52 PM Mr. Blue

I kind of like the hardcore ones more... at least I respect it more

The people that seem to say "the bible AND scientists are both right!" just need to hop off the darn fence and pick a side.

(And then we'll skip over a constant flow of the sort of stuff I banned from here – Mr. Silver)

 

2:28 PM Mr. Blue

The question is do you believe in the story of Noah

and, if so, to what extent?

2:29 PM Mr. Brown

I believe in the hidden message of the story of Noah so yes that makes me believe in the story of Noah

2:29 PM Mr. Blue

The hidden message?

2:29 PM Mr. Brown

If I worded that right

2:29 PM Mr. Blue

Do you believe in a global flood and a boat with 2 of every animal?

And do you believe all humans alive today are descended from Noah?

2:30 PM Mr. Brown

That would be taking it too literally for sure

2:31 PM Mr. Blue

Not too literally.. just literally

That's what the bible says happened

What I described is what's in the bible

2:42 PM Mr. Brown

You always have to look at the way people wrote stuff at the time it came from too

And how well it was interpreted

2:42 PM Mr. Blue

How did they write stuff?

So what do you think actually happened

2:42 PM Mr. Silver

The Flood is pretty well laid out in the Bible, Mr. Brown

The Tower of Babel was a "so anyway..." blip by comparison to the Flood

2:43 PM Mr. Silver

The Mesopotamian stuff is rather good too

same character, different players and causes and results

but still 'The Deluge"

(Good stuff.  Whole epic is, but this is the Flood at the end.  http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/mesopotamian/gilgamesh/tab11.htm - Mr. Silver)

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

GREAT song

“I’m the miggidy miggidy miggidy mac daddy”

3:10 PM Mr. Silver

Damned address book BS

Killed the highlights page, thank you SO friggin much

3:11 PM Mr. Blue

That's wiggidy wiggidy wiggidy wack

(gotta put that in the highlights)

3:13 PM Mr. Brown

Just give it a smack

To try and fix what that addy book may lack

3:14 PM Mr. Blue

Show it your pimp hand is still strong, Mr. Silver

3:15 PM Mr. Brown

Give it the respect side
