Day 47 - "Real Hangover", Owatana Soliam, The Spontaneous Human Combustion Project, Nice Girls, and Deadly Bulls For Kids

Mr. Silver
Mitch: What are you doing? Chris Knight: Self-realization. I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"
8:00 AM Mr. Gray
Love that movie. Have it on DVD
One of my favorite hangover lines
8:01 AM Mr. Silver
Not inappropriate since I feel Ugh
8:01 AM Mr. Gray
Unless it’s a hangover....doesn’t apply
8:01 AM Mr. Silver
Martini went straight to my head and I ate a big pile of Fritos watching it. 
8:02 AM Mr. Gray
Ahhhh
Well then, I guess it does



Mr. Gray
I swear sometimes I think Ms. Robin is cursed
9:02 AM Mr. Green
No.... Mrs. Green is cursed. Ms. Robin's just in a rough patch... LOL
9:02 AM Mr. Gray
LOL Ok, fair enough. Can’t argue that
9:11 AM Mr. Silver
Should I get out the feathered hat, mask and rattle and stuff?
"Woot woot woot!  Owatana! Soliam!"
(Shout it out loudly 10 times)
9:20 AM Mr. Green
Couldn’t hurt... LOL
9:21 AM Mr. Gray
I'm with him lol




Mr. Green
Alright, I'm out. Peace!
1:54 PM Mr. Gray
Does anyone else find it odd that Mr. “I want to strangle someone!" said peace?
lol
1:57 PM Mr. Yellow
He is leaving work, so good mood
2:01 PM Mr. Silver
"Peace through Aggression!
Pax Romana
“Quiet down and do what we say, or we’ll burn your whole tribe to the ground.”



8:04 AM Mr. Brown
Spontaneous human combustion
8:04 AM Mr. Red
I wish
8:07 AM Mr. Silver
Still not sure on the SHC. While the slow wicking theory can certainly account for some of it, there's the problem of anecdotal inconsistency.
Times that are too short, eye witnesses, unlikely unburned items
8:08 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah.  I was watching a show about it this morning on Science Channel
Reignited my interest in it
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
(ba-dum-chissssssshhhhhh!!!)
8:09 AM Mr. Blue
HI-YO!
8:12 AM Mr. Blue
The people that end up combusting are all drinkers and smokers, I thought
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
The alcohol problem is that there's no way to concentrate enough in the body anywhere to even light it
8:21 AM Mr. Blue
What about chronic, life-long use?
It's gotta absorb somewhere
8:22 AM Mr. Silver
Nope
8:22 AM Mr. Brown
No, your body processes it and it's gone.
8:23 AM Mr. Blue
Gasses then?
8:23 AM Mr. Brown
There are Static Flash fires
One example was wearing flame-resistant pajamas. All that burned on that was the fuzz on her pajamas.
8:26 AM Mr. Blue
The flashpoint of ethanol is 61 degrees Fahrenheit, apparently
8:27 AM Mr. Brown
I wonder if somebody is not getting enough water in his system, if they are dehydrated enough, if it would cause them to burn faster than other people?
8:29 AM Mr. Silver
There's just not enough energy.  You come out of a direct lightning strike better than these people.
8:29 AM Mr. Blue

Usually the people are already dead, and then they just smolder for a while
I mean, I doubt anybody's actually blowing up or being instantly engulfed in flames...the evidence doesn't support that.
8:30 AM Mr. Silver
That's the wicking theory, yes, and it's demonstrable.
But that doesn't match some of the reports at all.
8:36 AM Mr. Blue
8:37 AM Mr. Brown
Hmm...Did not ignite the oxygen or matches.
It is pretty strange that most of the stuff in the room is left untouched by the fire.

12:59 PM Mr. Brown

My cells are accelerating to high speeds I’m about to burst into flames!!!!
1:01 PM Mr. Silver
Quick! Someone grab snacks for the show!!!
1:01 PM Mr. Brown
Is is bad if I want to roast a marshmallow on my own body fire?
 
(Later, in another conversation and by sheer coincidence – Mr. Silver)

2:25 PM Mr. Yellow
It is so freeking hot in this stockroom
I have 3 fans on me and I'm still dying of heat. I am melting...melting...
2:28 PM Mr. Silver
Got an idea.
Turn off the fans...
And then tell us if you spontaneously combust...we were discussing it earlier.
2:29 PM Mr. Yellow
No, I will just dehydrate
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
Nod...that was one of the conditions considered. Got some high proof alcohol and some cigarettes handy too?
2:30 PM Mr. Gray
If you collapse at work its workman’s comp though
And maybe they'll put in an air conditioner.
2:30 PM Mr. Silver
You're sabotaging my experiment with such suggestions, Mr. Gray!
2:30 PM Mr. Yellow
Then I would have to spend all day with the wife and kids instead of getting an 8 hour break 5 days a week
2:31 PM Mr. Silver
Not if you burn up. Really it's win-win for me and Mr. Gray
2:35 PM Mr. Yellow
Not a win for me, and I am the one that matters
2:36 PM Mr. Silver
Not from here...not compared to mighty Science!

(Meanwhile back in the original conversation – Mr. Silver)

2:38 PM Mr. Silver
I can't convince Mr. Yellow to self-combust
2:40 PM Mr. Gray
Keep at it
I have faith in you.




9:43 AM Mr. Blue
why do flammable and inflammable mean the same thing
9:44 AM Mr. Silver
Always like that one, and "invaluable"
"So...not valuable?"
Mr. Silver
But the answer is that flame and inflame are two different words
One is "fire" and one is "to set on fire"
9:49 AM Mr. Blue
Unflame should be a word then
9:50 AM Mr. Silver
A brick is ininflammable
That'll confuse the kids
Uninflammable
9:52 AM Mr. Blue
So "flammable" is kind of a misnomer
It'd be like saying something is "on fire-able"
9:52 AM Mr. Silver
Invaluable is "can't set a value"
flammable - "it burns" inflammable - "it can be set on fire"
9:58 AM Mr. Silver
Always liked "incredible"
"He survived! Isn't that incredible?" "Yes! I don't believe you!"
10:40 AM Mr. Silver
"The Incredible Hulk! In this issue, more stuff not worth reading since its so ludicrous!"





9:54 AM Mr. Blue
This guy had a call come in and he says "Can you put me on hold a second?"
"You want me to put you on hold?"
"Or if I can put you on hold, it doesn't matter."
"I think that'd be best."
9:55 AM Mr. Silver
heh
9:59 AM Mr. Red
“Sure I can put you on hold... is 5 hours ok?”


12:36 PM Mr. Blue
Name: Debbie Nial
Of course, her email is “dnial”
12:37 PM Mr. Gray
She doesn’t live in denial....just emails from there



1:02 PM Mr. Gray
I find that story so hard to believe. She looks like such a nice woman
lol
1:02 PM Mr. Blue
lol
Look at her.. then a picture of Casey Anthony. That's the difference between guilt and innocence right there
1:03 PM Mr. Gray
Exactly
That woman, no doubt she'd knife ya. Casey...nah.
1:05 PM Mr. Silver
heh.
"Uh...miss?"
"YES???"
"You aren't going to do anything...well...crazy with that smoothie, are you?"
"WHY???"
1:11 PM Mr. Silver
I imagine her breathing angrily all the time, like Bluto from the Popeye movie.
1:13 PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Looking at the picture.....definitely



1:56 PM Mr. Silver
"Skyyyyyyyy Pilot! Seaaaaaa Pilot! Diiiiiiiiirt Pilot! Natural Gaaaaaaaas Pilot! TeeVeeeeeeeeee Pilot!"
2:03 PM Mr. Blue
What’s that?
2:03 PM Mr. Silver
That dippy "Sky Pilot' song that was on
2:03 PM Mr. Blue
oh


Mr. Blue
Looks like they dull the horns of these bulls in Pamplona
Pussies
2:50 PM Mr. Gray
Yeah...trampling...Pshaw. Nothing compared to a good gore to the backside
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
A "Nerf Bull"
Ooo! Better! "Whiffle Bull"
Full of holes and whistle as they charge!
