So...that dubious blog title worked
8:09 AM Mr. Blue
Did it?
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
Yup
In very short order got 4 American and 1 Moroccan hits
(update for those uninvolved - we schemed yesterday to put a dastardly but hot search topic in the blog entry title to see if it would generate hits)
I put in, with the quotes:
"Wouldn't it be great if we could put up a 'Katy Perry Sex Tape'?"
8:14 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
8:19 AM Mr. Brown
You could probably just put in "Sex Tape" and get a lot of hits
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Nah
Too general. I wanted something specific.
Worked though, and I got to giggle at the sudden spike
"Suckers!"
8:25 AM Mr. Blue
Next you should put up "Maggie Gyllenhaal Sex Tape!" and watch the hits drop
8:40 AM Mr. Silver
The hit rate drops all by itself.
9:10 AM Mr. Silver
"This is a great day for solar. Turns out the addition of a filthy coal furnace lets it run all the time!"
9:11 AM Mr. Red
This would be a great DAY for solar, but sorry it is nighttime
9:28 AM Mr. Silver
"Although considered a safe method of energy storage, a technician recently spilled some of the molten salt. The resulting attempt to throw some over his shoulder resulted in 15 deaths as the plant erupted into flames."
9:29 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
9:31 AM Mr. Blue
"...then add the ribs and bring to a simmer."
9:34 AM Mr. Brown
Recently there has been a drop in population of birds in vicinity of the new solar plant, but a rise in roasted bird for dinner
9:44 AM Mr. Red
So they put up a big magnifying glass??
9:54 AM Mr. Silver
Right, and then aim the beam at those big ant farm panels in the picture.
10:22 AM Mr. Brown
Well that went well
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, saw that. Sweet sweet irony, that one.
10:44 AM Mr. Blue
I never really saw the connection between motorcycles and freedom
I’m pretty sure motorcycles are allowed in even the most tyrannical, oppressive regimes
10:47 AM Mr. Gray
The Nazis loved motorcycles. I saw them all the time on “Hogan's Heroes”
10:50 AM Mr. Red
lol - Yep I remember that!
11:12 AM Mr. Silver
So...fairy in the dining room last night
I originally decided to convince myself it was a bug, but bugs don't "ding"
11:14 AM Mr. Blue
Do fairies?
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
Tinkerbell was rather famous for ringing, but she's a story character
11:20 AM Mr. Silver
The cat could see it in the dark, but we couldn't. Something zipping around and dinging like a bell up near the ceiling 6-7 times and then never again.
11:29 AM Mr. Blue
I heard some trees getting snapped over in the woods last night
Definitely Bigfoot
11:30 AM Mr. Silver
hehe
11:31 AM Mr. Brown
I saw glowing eyes in a tree last night. Definitely Mothman
11:31 AM Mr. Silver
What can I say...my house is active
11:32 AM Mr. Blue
The imaginations in it certainly are
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
I've seen things (including "fairies"), heard things. And my research couldn't come up with a bug that could “ding”.
11:35 AM Mr. Blue
Click bugs click.. put one on a glass surface and it'll probably ding
dumb bugs fly into things
11:35 AM Mr. Silver
Yup, and they go “thwap!” (plus I don't live in a house with resonant glass panels hung up around the dining room ceiling. - Mr. Silver)
11:36 AM Mr. Brown
I have a ghost that does not really do anything but help me
It's the guy that built the house
He is nice
We are only the second family to live in the home
11:37 AM Mr. Silver
We did tell the one house ghost to chase off the stinkbugs in exchange for some matchbox cars, and they left. (and we delivered the cars as promised...he's a kid)
(Meanwhile in another chat - Mr. Silver)
12:23 PM Mr. Silver
Too bad the subject changed...
Probably for the best though: Experience versus Skeptic
No win either side there
12:34 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah
So what was it really?
12:38 PM Mr. Silver
Oh I don't know, really.
12:43 PM Mr. Silver
As a "scientist" I just have the event observations.
As a “shaman+folklorist”, I had the same data as the scientist.
And both sides have experience in discovery, research, and debunking
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
So I tried to research it
No bugs that ding or ring or ping...that I found anyway.
Something I mentioned to Mrs. Silver at the time: "I hunted a cricket in the house for days once before I caught him...little bastard was tiny and would go silent if you got anywhere within 10', so it could be a little hard-to-see bug that moves really fast and makes a ding sound, but why did it stop?"
The cat could see where it was...you know cats...he spotted it, chased underneath looking up at wherever it was, everywhere it moved...then just stopped looking because it was gone.
And it never repeated. So, dubbed it supernatural and it wasn't ghost-y. Fairy.
2:38 PM Mr. Gray
I'm interested in why they won't let the Japanese guy compete in the July 4th hotdog eating competition
2:40 PM Mr. Blue
Competition rules stipulate only human beings are eligible... not the Japanese
(That was harsh, even for me)
2:40 PM Mr. Gray
Well, I guess Kobayashi does have that "radioactive mutant appetite" possibility going for him
2:41 PM Mr. Blue
He's ripped too
How do you get ripped by eating 300 hot dogs a day?
2:41 PM Mr. Gray
Yeah, can't be human
2:46 PM Mr. Red
More than 2 hotdogs make me wanna puke
2:48 PM Mr. Gray
That certainly wouldn’t make you a crowd favorite
Well, except among bulimics
That would certainly be a test of endurance though:
"World Bulimic Hot Dog Binge/Purge Competition!!!"
“Do you have the right stuff? We'll find out when it all comes out in the end!”
Couldn’t be any worse than watching “Fear Factor”
2:53 PM Mr. Red
True
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
(Play-by-play announcer) "And the champ binges 3 at once! And purges them back! And is reaching for another triple! And back out they go!"
2:57 PM Mr. Gray
"Oh no...looks like a loss of control there....Oh, he's choking on it...Wait, it's free, and all over the other competitors! Now they are purging, though I don’t think that was intentional."
That’s one competition I don’t think I'd want front row seats for, heh
2:58 PM Mr. Blue
lol
I’d probably tune in if I wanted to never eat hot dogs ever again.
2:59 PM Mr. Silver
"Why does the floor here say "Splash Zone"?”
2:59 PM Mr. Gray
Just think of the muscle control that would be needed to do that. Man...you'd have to be godlike to survive it! LOL
Swallow...puke...swallow...puke....
Hurts just thinking about it
Maybe that’s the little Japanese mutant's secret?
Abs of steel from it?
3:00 PM Mr. Blue
I just don't know how he's burning all those calories unless he's on a treadmill 15 hours a day.
3:01 PM Mr. Silver
He has to be dumping it...
3:01 PM Mr. Blue
Through which orifice?
3:02 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
Front door, sir
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
(trainer) "We can only account for the weight of 298 hot dogs."
(Kobayashi) "I was hungry for lunch"
(trainer) "Ah."
3:12 PM Mr. Red
If I go home and the wife is having hotdogs, I’m going to order a pizza
3:12 PM Mr. Blue
heheheh
3:15 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:16 PM Mr. Silver
"What do you feel like for dinner tonight, hon?"
"Eh...300 hotdogs and a glass of water."
3:17 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:17 PM Mr. Blue
"Do you want me to break them in half and soak the buns in Sprite?"
"Honey, I love you!"
(This is apparently Kobayashi's technique)
3:18 PM Mr. Gray
I've heard that. I don’t think I could stand the texture of soaked buns
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
(Pictures Phoebe Cates in “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”...)
oh...hotdog buns...
3:19 PM Mr. Gray
Now that kind of soaked buns...
(The ever-present background music attacks – Mr. Silver)
3:22 PM Mr. Blue
(sings) And Iiiiiiiii-eeeeeee-iiiiiiii-eeeeeeee-iiiiiiiiiii
Will always loooovee yoouuu-ewewww-ohhhhhh
3:25 PM Mr. Red
I wanted to stand up and start belting it out.
3:25 PM Mr. Blue
Do it
Mr. Red, is that you or Whitney? I can't tell
Nice vibrato if it's you.
3:26 PM Mr. Silver
Mr. Red's in the tighter dress.
3:27 PM Mr. Red
That’s how I hit the high notes
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
I'd forgotten about that Prince song for years... (“7” - Mr. Silver)
Kinda like it
3:37 PM Mr. Blue
>:-P
3:38 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah yeah...you don't like Prince, whatever
3:43 PM Mr. Blue
That song was horrible. Prince is the opposite of King Midas – everything he touches turns to poo.
