8:37 AM Mr. Yellow
Good Morning
Mr. Gray, you were early yesterday. Cranky Co-workers day is today.
It is also National Tell A Story Day
8:39 AM Mr. Gray
Eh...I'm always ahead of the pack.
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
Tell A Story Day???
Hot dog!
“Once upon a time...
8:47 AM Mr. Gray
...in a land of flowers and cupcakes....
8:47 AM Mr. Silver
and rainbows and pretty ponies...
8:48 AM Mr. Gray
.....There lived a snarfleguselpuss....
LOL
8:51 AM Mr. Silver
...a beast we shall refer to as the “S”, since we don't want to write that over and over and you'll just gloss it over while reading anyway...
8:52 AM Mr. Green
Break
8:53 AM Mr. Silver
The S said, and he went off alone to indulge in a stick of...incense.
8:53 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
...which he inhaled deeply because it made him feel all oogly woogly inside and took away the pain....
8:59 AM Mr. Silver
"That's some good incense..." said the S.
8:59 AM Mr. Yellow
So I went with a pseudo-dragon I call Fez for my familiar. His real name is Felicitous Ezekiel Zelabrand or something like that; I can not even remember. So my mage just calls him Fez.
9:00 AM Mr. Silver
Said the S, obviously reeling and babbling under the effects of the magic incense.
9:01 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
...and S and his Magical dragon named Fez skipped and danced merrily beneath the trees.....until a large 60 ton weight landed on them....
(just because the cutsie stuff was getting annoying and I needed some violence to balance it out LOL)
10:13 AM Mr. Silver
"Push save." "Push save?" "Yes." "Push save?" "Yes." "Push save?" "Yes." "Do I push save?" "Yes."
"It's hard to believe we've only been at this 23 minutes, eh?"
10:41 AM Mr. Yellow
I blame Apple and Steve Jobs
10:43 AM Mr. Gray
Oh but don't you realize...Apple users are better and smarter than anyone...just ask one.
10:49 AM Mr. Yellow
lol
Yes that is what they would like us to think.
10:52 AM Mr. Silver
(waves hand) "You don't need to check the PC specifications."
"We don't need the specifications."
"This is not the OS you're looking for."
"This isn't the OS we're looking for."
"Move along to the Apple store."
"Let's move along...move along."
(apprentice Apple sales rep) "I can't believe you were able to divert that sale!"
"The Jobs has a strong influence on the weak minded."
10:00 AM Mr. Blue
Still sick?
10:00 AM Mr. Silver
I'm running an experiment about forcible lung ejection through the throat.
10:01 AM Mr. Blue
I see
12:23 PM Mr. Silver
12:24 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah, that video where he called Uzbekistan "Uzi-beki-beki-beki-stani-stan" was pretty hilarious.
12:24 PM Mr. Silver
heh
12:24 PM Mr. Blue
And it'll appeal to the anti-elitists, which is like 40% of the USA. He's basically admitting he doesn't know anything about the world outside of the US, which is going to be great for his popularity with Joe T. Plumber and the rest of the yokels.
12:32 PM Mr. Silver
"I can see China's embassy from my apartment. I order Lo Mein there on Fridays, so to say I have no foreign policy experience is silly."
1:06 PM Mr. Blue
I'm confused as to why everyone is paying such close attention to what Greece is doing with their debt. Who gives a F about Greece? If the global economy is relying on them to not screw up then we deserve a recession.
1:14 PM Mr. Silver
Basically, if I'm compiling my memories correctly, the Euro wasn't based on anything.
It has face value and nothing to back it. So if a member state withdraws or fails, the fear is it'll disintegrate as a currency. Roughly.
1:15 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, that would suck.
1:16 PM Mr. Silver
That's why anyone applying to the EU had to prove economic stability and show some growth
"Because we don't want anyone on the team that is going to fail." And, several years and a lot of junk finance later...
1:16 PM Mr. Blue
Ah, I see.
They should just boot Greece out, and they can take their gyros and tzatziki sauce with them.
I nominate Germany to "occupy" Greece for an indefinite amount of time.
1:20 PM Mr. Blue
You know the shirts that say "Kiss me, I’m Irish!"?
I’m gonna print some that say "Don't touch me, I'm German!"
1:20 PM Mr. Brown
lol
That's awesome
“Do me, I’m Swedish!”
I wonder what other shirts could come up with on that
1:23 PM Mr. Blue
"Pay me, I'm Greek"
"Fight me, I'm Italian"
"Make fun of me, I'm Polish"
1:24 PM Mr. Brown
“Fuck off, I’m Scottish”
1:24 PM Mr. Blue
More like "Fook Oooff"
"Ruv me, I'm Chinese"
This better get on the blog.
1:27 PM Mr. Silver
Sigh.
(hehe)
1:27 PM Mr. Blue
"Ignore my teeth, I’m British"
"I’m not American, I’m Canadian"
1:27 PM Mr. Silver
I'd like to note that the English have the best teeth in Europe now, and the Poles the highest average IQ.
1:28 PM Mr. Blue
Well, since WWII, yeah.
1:28 PM Mr. Silver
So about this “Germany takes over Greece” thing; do you think other countries might fall in line?
There would need to be a plan...and a charismatic if not necessarily handsome leader.
1:29 PM Mr. Blue
No, nobody would let Germany occupy so much as an isthmus in the Aegean Sea.
1:29 PM Mr. Silver
Well they'd just have to assert themselves somehow...for the good of the world.
1:30 PM Mr. Blue
Germany’s next hope for European domination would be some form of economic overtaking
which they may well be planning right now.
Which just isn't nearly as much fun as a pillage-and-plunder style take over.
"What happened to you, Germany? You used to be cool.."
"Hey I’m still cool!"
1:31 PM Mr. Silver
Well, yes, they'd need to come out with a display of their drive and economic power. I thinking of maybe an extensive campaign showing the best and brightest of the German people in rallies and promotional films...perhaps with classical musical accompaniment...Wagner?
1:31 PM Mr. Blue
Sure, sure
1:31 PM Mr. Silver
And they'd need a symbol of some sort to rally around. Some easily recognizable insignia showing good fortune and success.
1:31 PM Mr. Blue
Maybe David Hasselhoff can be their new leader... But not a president or prime minister or house speaker... something else
1:32 PM Mr. Silver
Like a chancellor?
1:32 PM Mr. Blue
But as far as helping Greece, what they can do is make up these places - let's call them camps - where Greeks can go and concentrate on learning about monetary things like investing and saving and how to run an economy. Perhaps some manual labor... I mean, money doesn't grow on trees y'know.
1:33 PM Mr. Silver
True, and working to rebuild a depleted economy is really the only thing that would make them free.
1:33 PM Mr. Blue
So in these "concentration camps", Greeks will learn the value of a hard day's labor and how economics works.
1:39 PM Mr. Silver
You know, it'd be a dandy opportunity to settle the gypsy question too.
1:41 PM Mr. Silver
They don't even have a settled location, or value one. The camps could collect them until they could be properly dealt with in an appropriate fashion.
1:49 PM Mr. Blue
And this will all be done legitimately, with lots of oversight.
1:58 PM Mr. Silver
Oh of course.
2:01 PM Mr. Silver
Germany would probably have to factor Russia into all this, of course. They should probably be encouraged to join at some point, but perhaps the project could start with some sort of non-interference policy until Russia can see the extent of the German policy's effectiveness.
2:01 PM Mr. Blue
That's the “end game”, yes
2:02 PM Mr. Silver
Trying too early with Russia would likely be a disaster, but they'd come around, I'm sure.
2:03 PM Mr. Blue
It'd be swell if Germany could set up some of their administrative offices in Gdansk, Poland... Bring in some of their own people to run the town and rename it Danzig
No harm, no foul with an idea like that - just like Israel belongs to the Jews, Danzig belongs to the Germans. Same concept as Zionism.
2:13 PM Mr. Silver
Well it's not like there wasn't a verifiable historical association in the past - same as with Germany and parts of eastern France.
2:15 PM Mr. Blue
And Austria.
2:16 PM Mr. Silver
Good point!
(and after a long pause...)
2:27 PM Mr. Silver
Well...we've apparently run out of Fourth Reich conversation: I always enjoy that game.
2:29 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
