8:41 AM Mr. Brown
Is there a spooky bridge around here?
8:42 AM Mr. Silver
Certainly, a few.
Bridges invite legends.
9:07 AM Mr. Silver
There was a folklorist I listened to who had tracked a bridge legend from some hazardous turn or broken barrier to the addition of non-existent Native American curses to a prom night link that never happened. And when they knocked down the bridge and built a new one a 1/4 mile down the road, the legends all moved with it.
Very amusing.
9:25 AM Mr. Brown
Lol, that is funny! Legends that follow the bridge.
9:25 AM Mr. Silver
Heh
He said they tend to grow like that as one generation tells the next and the current generation adds the trendy new fashionable spooks.
9:26 AM Mr. Brown
“Well the legend is that they used old parts from the one bridge to make the new one, so now even though it’s in a new place the ghosts are still there.”
9:26 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
Considering the re-use of materials throughout history, we’d be surrounded by jilted lovers, accident victims, killer clowns and Native American dooms.
9:58 AM Mr. Silver
"Hi...I'm not the person on the line calling in."
7:18 AM Mr. Gray
Checking out a couple of houses after work
7:19 AM Mr. Silver
cool
7:44 AM Mr. Silver
Be wary of Hollywood Jobs and Quirks
7:46 AM Mr. Silver
Example quirk: "What are all these things in the ground around the house."
"Oh...termite traps."
7:47 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Well, if nothing else I should be able to see if the basements leak today LOL
7:49 AM Mr. Silver
Yup
A Hollywood Job is covering up the “set”.
Beautiful paint job! Bulges and cracks all over the plaster underneath.
7:51 AM Mr. Gray
Yeah see I don’t know how to check that stuff.
7:51 AM Mr. Silver
My main bathroom was a Hollywood Job. I could tell, but figured it wouldn't be a big deal.
Eh...turn on your inner detective and start looking for clues after you've had a general impression.
Assume “the villain” is scamming you.
Quirk - "This drop ceiling looks a little bowed."
"Oh, well it’s a bit old."
(pokes finger at clean white surface...mush of water.) "I see..."
7:55 AM Mr. Gray
Good point LOL
8:12 AM Mr. Silver
Mrs. Silver's job was assessing the space, "like", and features. I was the inspector.
8:15 AM Mr. Silver
We refused a nice house when I pointed out: "See that hurricane dog fence, with the nice outside doghouse, next to the beautiful parking area and how the big dog has been barking non-stop since we arrived and for the entire tour of the house, even when it couldn't see us? Picture that 24 hours, because it's that kind of dog."
8:16 AM Mr. Gray
LOL good point.
8:56 AM Mr. Yellow
So at this point we still on for Sunday?
If not, then I have my home all to myself Saturday and Sunday.
9:01 AM Mr. Yellow
If that does not work, yes I still have a win with an empty house.
I am looking forward to playing, but weekends alone in the home are nice too.
9:41 AM Mr. Silver
Translation: "Day of violent video games and dirty movies"
9:41 AM Mr. Green
Amen to that!
9:42 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:03 AM Mr. Yellow
Mr. Green, if you are looking for an X-Box 360 / violent movie weekend, you can always make a trip up.
LOL
10:07 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
12:08 PM Mr. Silver
"The new process can analyze a population and suggest trouble areas where, say, the French in Switzerland can be moved to their own regions or perhaps concentrated in camps to reduce violence."
12:17 PM Mr. Silver
"The programming firm of Hilter & Bimmler Tech, based in Argentina, are very happy with the results so far."
12:17 PM Mr. Blue
Sounds like an Onion article.
12:20 PM Mr. Silver
Thanks!
I wonder what that program would make of the USA.
"It turns out no one really gets along there...like anywhere. There's merely degrees of not-blue."
"I'll grant there are large areas of deep blue, yes, but upon analysis, it's just a calculation artifact of so few people living in those regions."
Mr. Yellow
So best way is to have racial and religious purity?
I read a bit of the article. No time to read it all.
I saw if two are mixed in balance, that is OK.
12:42 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah, I’m not sure really what they are getting out of this except an excuse by someone to cook the results and use them to pound on "troublemakers".
12:43 PM Mr. Yellow
Just at a glance, it sounds like something Hitler would have liked.
12:43 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
12:44 PM Mr. Yellow
It makes some sense. If I am hanging out with people I have stuff in common with, it's less likely conflicts will arise.
1:59 PM Mr. Silver
"University of Minnesota research team announces technique to keep gas prices the same while oil companies get 15% more money."
(Mr. Blue was in Washington D.C. for a couple days – Mr. Silver)
Mr. Blue
Kind of cool being able to see the presidential helicopter land on the lawn and then take off from the Jefferson Memorial.
Then you've got dudes in all black standing on top of the buildings surrounding the White House with high powered rifles and binoculars.
We saw his helicopter come and go 4 times in total.
12:58 PM Mr. Silver
"Damn. Forgot my ID and I wanted to get a bottle of wine for dinner...swing back."
"Yes Mr. President."
12:59 PM Mr. Blue
Probably the highlight of the trip was the food though
Had my first legit Thai food.. vegetarian pad thai and some sort of sauteed mussel dish.
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
Went to Thailand too, did you?
1:00 PM Mr. Blue
$3 cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcakes
Sushi
1:15 PM Mr. Silver
So primo eats
(Jealous)
1:15 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah
And all the usual sites
The Reflecting Pond is a big mud hole right now, but everything else was open.
The best thing about DC is everything is free.
1:16 PM Mr. Silver
Even the $3 cupcakes are free.
1:16 PM Mr. Blue
lol
1:21 PM Mr. Silver
I love stuff like that, by the way: "the Reflecting Pond is a big mud hole right now"
So symbolic.
Mr. Gray
God, I so want this day to be over....
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
"Stay on target..."
3:22 PM Mr. Gray
Almost time...
3:23 PM Mr. Silver
"Stay on target!"
3:27 PM Mr. Gray
Ok...this is Red 2, I'm going home....
Cya tomorrow, gentlemen!!
(disconnect)
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
“Where did Wedge go???!!!”
