"Pull the thinner black cable out."
"The yellow one?"
"...Yes, pull out all the black cords that are yellow."
"There should be approximately 30 of those."
"Take special care to grab all the black cables that are green, blue and red too."
Mr. Gray
Today In 1937,"The Hobbit," by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published.
9:09 AM Mr. Silver
Yay hobbits!
9:22 AM Mr. Silver
I was discussing them the other day with Mr. Blue and Jack.
How they were too small for the books to work and J.R.R. didn't notice.
Well..."The Hobbit" was fine...closer proportions.
It's the legs...hobbits are too short to cover the distances in the books unless they ran the whole time, every day.
9:35 AM Mr. Silver
Just one of the perils of spending too long studying things like stride-length vs speed and agility for gaming.
9:36 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Understand. I notice those things too
Mr. Brown
Mr. Blue and I were trying to come up with ways to get rid of space trash.
10:34 AM Mr. Blue
My best suggestion was a big ol' magnet, since most of the junk is probably metal.
10:35 AM Mr. Brown
We thought about sending everything into the sun.
But then I was thinking that we might kill the sun doing that.
10:37 AM Mr. Silver
Pfft
You could throw the entire Earth into the Sun and it'd barely notice.
Alien astronomers would notice a slight change in the solar system gravity characteristics.
"I think a planet or two slipped orbit."
"Hmm...well make a note."
Mr. Brown
So we should send all our space junk to Pluto so it can be a planet again.
lol
2:06 PM Mr. Silver
Heh...interesting plan.
2:07 PM Mr. Brown
If we make it bigger, it will feel important again.
2:08 PM Mr. Silver
Now it's a planetoid with a landfill!
Kind of a super cold mini-Earth!
Mr. Silver
So this is how exciting the chat is today...
On the other side, the guys are discussing their Solitaire scores and how to get higher scores.
After watching this a bit I hit on this notion:
I'm picturing an "Extreme Solitaire” for "the kids" with a booming voice that announces things like "Black 7! Red 8!" and "Comboooo!" "Super Combooooo!" and the like when you move the stacks around.
Perhaps throw in the anime Three-pete screen cut if you flip an ace.
"Schingg!!!! Chhhh-Chhh-Chhhinnnnng!!!"
2:52 PM Mr. Blue
There's an app on my phone for a hang-man like game; it's a multiplayer type deal. Obviously geared for families and kids. One day the game didn't load properly and all I could see was the background, and I noticed that it's made up of skulls and crossbones, bombs, knives and brass knuckles for some reason.
2:53 PM Mr. Silver
Hints at unlockable content!
“Conquered Hangman? Unlock Bombman! Unlock Stabman!”
2:58 PM Mr. Silver
“Zombie Apocalypse Man!”
3:00 PM Mr. Silver
I kinda like “Zombie Apocalypse Man”
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
Each wrong answer you draw a dis-stick-figured walking corpse grabbing or biting down on a section of the fleeing horrified victim.
3:31 PM Mr. Silver
Oh, tomorrow is "International I'm Not Gonna Be Here Day" for me.
3:34 PM Mr. Blue
Sweet
3:34 PM Mr. Pink
I must not observe that holiday.
Mr. Silver
Well, it's a religious thing.
Can I come over to your place with pamphlets and drone on about it for several hours?
3:42 PM Mr. Pink
haha
