Day 30 - Riffing on Lyrics-Save Us Dolly Parton, Political Porn, and Difficulties: Technically

(The music channel was particularly distracting Friday – Mr. Silver)

8:08 AM Mr. Blue

(singing) “When I think about you I punch myself”

8:13 AM Mr. Blue

“And they're reeeeeee... Reeeeee-tarded...”

8:37 AM Mr. Blue

horrible song after horrible song

8:37 AM Mr. Silver

"Tune in for all the not very good hits!"

8:37 AM Mr. Blue

"The Worst of the Late 90's"

8:40 AM Mr. Silver

"All the weak hooks, stuff you watched on MTV only to see the hot girl in the video, and stuff written for movies you liked for a quick buck!  Right here! 24 hours a day!"

9:26 AM Mr. Blue

“Mmmbop”, huh

I’m getting raped in both of my ears

9:30 AM Mr. Red

I’m sorry about that

9:31 AM Mr. Silver

"Nnnbop" and "Ooobop" never hit.

11:06 AM Mr. Silver

Ugh

"(It sounds like) Ass ass, baby..."

11:07 AM Mr. Blue

“Alright stop! Collaborate and listen!”

I got the stopping part down, but I still need work on my collaborating and listening

11:09 AM Mr. Silver

The fact that you know the lyrics well enough to crack the joke bugs me a bit.

11:11 AM Mr. Blue

my generation

2:16 PM Mr. Blue

“And iiiiiiiiiiiiii-ee-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

willlll alwwaaaaaaaaays loo-ooove youuu-ewww-ooohhhhh”

12:17 PM Mr. Red

Oh God!

12:17 PM Mr. Blue

I assume Whitney was singing to a bag of crack cocaine

12:18 PM Mr. Silver

Hard as she belts that song out, Dolly Parton's version is still better

12:18 PM Mr. Blue

Dolly's version of everything is better

12:22 PM Mr. Red

I should've started shooting the TV with rubber bands

12:23 PM Mr. Blue

try to aim for Neil Young's groin

12:23 PM Mr. Red

lol

12:24 PM Mr. Silver

The old man - "You ain't nothing like me, hippy!  Go smoke yer dope and drop dead!"

12:24 PM Mr. Blue

"go back to canada ya hoser!"

12:26 PM Mr. Silver

Thinking of songs Dolly Parton could cover that would be better

Came up with "Janie's Got a Gun".

12:27 PM Mr. Blue

I like her version of “Shine” ("heaven let your light shine down")

i think she'd be good with Smashing Pumpkins songs

“Thirty Three”, “Tonight Tonight”

12:46 PM Mr. Silver

(sings) "Anyway you want it, that's the way you want it, anyway you want it!  I say anyway you want it, you ain't gonna get it, anyway you want it!"

Pretty much the anthem of all our lives...

hehe

12:54 PM Mr. Green

LOL... yepper

"He loves to game, he loves to drink, he loves the weekend thing. All night... all night...wish it was every night..."

12:57 PM Mr. Silver

"Yo!  Grand Funk guys!  Just go home already!"

1:00 PM Mr. Silver

"Bottle o' red...bottle o' ruffs..." Billy Joel

1:03 PM Mr. Blue

"Your mama don't dance" is maybe the worst song ever

I got instantly nauseous

1:04 PM Mr. Silver

Parton could help it...but perhaps not enough

1:19 PM Mr. Silver

Its one of those songs I can't see why they'd even sit down and write the lyrics...and then seriously want to write music for it...and then learn to play it...and then want to perform it...and then want to record it.

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

maybe if they fixed the grammar at least

1:54 PM Mr. Blue

“No one knows what it's like... to be the Batman”

1:57 PM Mr. Silver

heh

2:02 PM Mr. Blue

Peter Frampton is a joke

2:05 PM Mr. Blue

talk boxes are like 50 bones

2:08 PM Mr. Blue

I’m gonna go buy a kazoo and turn it into a 40 year career

2:41 PM Mr. Silver

"Tall piles of meat...all we are is tall piles of meeee-eee-eee-eeat..."

2:42 PM Mr. Blue

did i ever tell you the tale of the tall piles of meat in Blue Earth, MN?

on I90 outside of Blue Earth Minnesota... we came across these neat stacks of meat in the middle of the highway. Small at first, could drive over them. but soon they became larger and larger until we had to go completely around them.  There were about 6 spaced out about a mile each. Piled up like pyramids. Also saw a frozen pig fetus

just random meat parts.. mostly pinkish in color

3:10 PM Mr. Silver

Truck losing it's load in a fascinating manner?

3:10 PM Mr. Blue

the stacks were too neat to have come from a moving vehicle, had to have stopped and dumped

3:12 PM Mr. Blue

"I was born a ramblin' man... But I visited a speech therapist."

3:16 PM Mr. Silver

"Lord I was born an amblin man...loafin' for a livin' and walkin' slow as I can..."

3:19 PM Mr. Blue

heh

8:44 AM Mr. Silver

This week was so poopy I'm taking Monday off

8:46 AM Mr. Blue

i predict a poopy week next week too

8:46 AM Mr. Silver

yup, sadly

8:54 AM Mr. Silver

I propose we spend a few billion on developing astromechs

Little R2D2s out there miraculously fixing everything we feel like ignoring

9:05 AM Mr. Blue

heheh

9:58 AM Mr. Silver

Hey!  Remember the fluid battery research thing I was mentioning? 

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/09/breakthrough-in-battery-technology-could-revolutionize-electric-vehicles/

9:58 AM Mr. Blue

Yeah, saw that

9:58 AM Mr. Silver

Cool stuff

10:00 AM Mr. Blue

It is

11:11 AM Mr. Silver

I assume -- based on yesterday's chat about Republican politicians repeatedly getting caught participating in the vices that they scream loudest about (that I didn't save due to angst and depression) -- that this means it's about to come out that he has a porn collection bordering on madness:  http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/06/santorum-hopes-google-will-do-something-about-filth-on-the-internet/

11:12 AM Mr. Silver

Actually, since Google Safe Search is the default and you have to choose to turn it off, and questionable searches have to be confirmed before they display results, Google DID do something about the filth, many years ago.

11:12 AM Mr. Blue

That dude wants creationism taught in schools. F that idiot

He claims scientists are "divided" on evolution and that it is a "controversial" theory

Seriously, how can anyone vote for someone that doesn't believe in evolution?

I really wanna know

11:15 AM Mr. Blue

There is something wrong with the mental capacity of any human being that does not accept at least some generalized form of evolution

And really, that's the most damning evidence against Republicans

70% reject evolution over creationism.. or at least pretend to

although, I guess, the counter-argument

"100 percent of Democrats believe in a god."

and I’d say "I hope most of 'em are just lying about that."

11:56 AM Mr. Blue

Why can't they use magnets for perpetual motion?

or is that cheating

12:07 PM Mr. Silver

You can't overcome the run-down

Think of it as a leak...no mater how efficient you make it, it'll still leak a little energy til it stops.

12:08 PM Mr. Blue

I see

So you're saying perpetual motion is not possible

12:10 PM Mr. Silver

According to current science

The thing is, even if you perfect one, then use it to do work, the work is the leak

12:15 PM Mr. Silver

Now...if you could make a device that makes more energy than is put in to start it...

even a little...you could power the world for free.

12:15 PM Mr. Blue

Wouldn't magnets, though, create energy on their own?

12:15 PM Mr. Silver

Nope

I was surprised myself when I found out they degrade over time

12:57 PM Mr. Blue

"Do you know what version you have?"

"Yes."

"OK... … ...good."

1:39 PM Mr. Silver

(from report) It was at this point that "net isn't working" was properly translated to "every icon in the computer is missing."

3:22 PM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_cosmonauts – See the Torre Bert Recordings

3:23 PM Mr. Silver

good prank

3:23 PM Mr. Blue

i find it more plausible that some lady in Italy in 1961 was trying to fake outerspace radio transmissions than cosmonauts being lost

3:25 PM Mr. Silver

"Mama mia-sky!  My-a rocket-sky is-a crashin-sky!"

3:25 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

Mr. Green

I really think I should get credit on the problems I post...

9:14 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

I agree

"This notice has been brought to you by Mr. Green, and the letter F...for F**ked!!"

9:16 AM Mr. Green

Hells yeah!

9:57 AM Mr. Silver

forked?

9:57 AM Mr. Gray

Yep...we're all forked

9:59 AM Mr. Green

3 tine or 4? lol

10:24 AM Mr. Gray

Should be a spoon.....more painful

10:29 AM Mr. Silver

Spork

10:29 AM Mr. Gray

Oooo....spork!!

Day 29 - MORE Hall & Oates, Mr. Blue is Clever, A Little Time, Kawaii Peripherals, Foolocracy, and Brady Warps

8:19 AM Mr. Blue

"Did that storm bad put some out?" 

"I don't know." 

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I don't understand the bizarre phrasing of your question."

8:24 AM Mr. Blue

"What would you like your username to be?" 

"Uhh, can I change it later?" 

"Yeah, or you could just tell me what you would end up changing it to later."

8:26 AM Mr. Silver

"No.  I have to turn it in to Interpol and the username will be forever associated with your name."

"It's like Tron.  If you lose the name, or fail to follow commands, you'll be subject to immediate de-resolution."

8:29 AM Mr. Blue

heheh

8:30 AM Mr. Silver

Ugh...caller name Oates.  She's talking to the kids.  Named Clay and Dustin. 

"Put Dirt or Filth on the line please."

8:30 AM Mr. Blue

lol

8:37 AM Mr. Blue

I’ll bet they're both red-heads

8:41 AM Mr. Red

Was thinking about John Oates being in Zelie and the comments that were made.
Maybe they're his kids!

8:51 AM Mr. Blue

"Flan Eater" - Hall & Oates

8:54 AM Mr. Silver

I can't help singing Halls & Oates's "Kith Ith On My Lisp" every time it comes on 

8:57 AM Mr. Silver

   "Becauth your kith (your kith) ith on my lisp"

   "Becauth your kith (your kith) I can't rethitht"

   "Because your kith ith on my lisp"

   "Of the betht thingth in liiiiife!"

8:58 AM Mr. Blue

man, what a terrible song

8:59 AM Mr. Silver

What...”Kiss is on My List?

8:59 AM Mr. Blue

yeah

9:02 AM Mr. Red

Agreed. Your rendition is actually pretty good, Mr. Silver

9:02 AM Mr. Silver

"It's true, baby."
"That's so sweet!  (wink) Is it number one?"

"Uh...(pulls out paper) 437th."

"437th???  You keep a real list?"

"OCD...see...right here below Betty Anne's kiss."

(Slap!!!)

9:34 AM Mr. Blue

"Peeping Tom Eyes" - Hall & Oates

9:37 AM Mr. Silver

"I Could Maybe Go for That" - Hall & Oates

"Bitch Girl" - H&O

That last one, BTW, is how I sing it all the time anyway

also "Pirate Eyes"

9:41 AM Mr. Blue

Or “Pirate Eye" I guess...patch.

9:43 AM Mr. Silver

No.  Multiple pirates

9:43 AM Mr. Blue

ah yes

9:09 AM Mr. Red

I found Mr Silver's last night

9:09 AM Mr. Silver

yes?

9:09 AM Mr. Blue

did you search "is Denmark the armpit of the world" on Google?

9:10 AM Mr. Red

Should've

9:10 AM Mr. Blue

I must have an ego, because the funniest stuff is usually my own

9:12 AM Mr. Silver

You do have an ego...my stuff is funniest

9:13 AM Mr. Blue

Anytime I read something of mine that's very old I’m always surprised with how articulate and witty it is

9:15 AM Mr. Silver

I edit you

;-P

Actually I edit all of it a little

Put stuff in more logical order, fix typos

rephrase slightly to render bizarre thoughts into “Earthling” language

9:24 AM Mr. Silver

But to give you credit Mr. Blue, your entries are quite good, which is why I keep telling you that you could write stories if you wanted to

9:25 AM Mr. Red

agreed

9:25 AM Mr. Blue

thanks

10:29 AM Mr. Silver

Thinking of hitting the Batman casting call Sunday

10:29 AM Mr. Blue

They're looking for people that look like criminals and business-types

Which are you?

10:31 AM Mr. Silver

With this hair?

I'm thinking of channeling "Timmy The Screw" and enjoying knives far too much

10:35 AM Mr. Silver

so...businessman

10:39 AM Mr. Gray

I think I'll shoot for the business type. Pretty sure I can fit in my suit again. Though if its hot I may opt for criminal and just go in jeans and a muscle shirt cause I'm not sweating my arse off in a suit LOL

11:05 AM Mr. Silver

    "Next is...Mr. Gray.  Thanks for coming.  Good suit.  I assume you are going for business  

     man." 

    "White collar criminal, sir."

    "Ah"

11:56 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO

11:44 AM Mr. Blue

Here's the final resolution they passed down for my guy's issue:

    “We've seen these before and they seem to start working on their own - let's give it a little

    time”

Unbelievable

"Oh you have no lights and everything is offline?  Well.. I’ve seen this before...let's just give it a little time."

11:57 AM Mr. Red

just give it some time?

11:57 AM Mr. Blue

lol

12:51 PM Mr. Silver

Time heals all wounds...just "some time" fixes all technical issues.

12:51 PM Mr. Blue

"just wait until it's obsolete"

12:51 PM Mr. Blue

I forget how to make a cursive k

12:54 PM Mr. Silver

It's a loop with a loop and a loop

12:54 PM Mr. Blue

heheh.. check out this device info: “Ever Sparkle Technologies Ltd”

1:00 PM Mr. Red

"It's pretty!"

1:01 PM Mr. Silver

"Is the cat5, or as we call it "Precious Pussikins" cable secure, miss?"

1:01 PM Mr. Blue

heheheh

kawaii peripherals

"Place the Hello Kitty end into the modem and the Domokun end into the Wii."

1:02 PM Mr. Silver

"That modem...is it pink, small, a little puffy in appearance with a twinkling heart on the top?"

"No, not that number, miss. That's the model number beside the winking princess character.  I need the serial number next to the flying unicorn."

1:07 PM Mr. Red

“You mean the one that looks like a big puffy sheep?”

1:15 PM Mr. Silver

"Right...kinda swollen and cute?"

1:16 PM Mr. Red

"It's SOOOOO adorable!!"

1:28 PM Mr. Blue

What kind of government is it when people vote on everything?

Not like us, voting for representatives who vote on everything, but people voting on everything

What's that called?

<Blank>-ocracy?

1:33 PM Mr. Silver

“Democracy”

1:34 PM Mr. Blue

Really? We're not a democracy then?

1:34 PM Mr. Red

no

A representative democratic republic
or something close to that
can't remember exactly

1:35 PM Mr. Blue

Why don't we just go democratic for real?

Want a bill or law passed? Let us vote on it.

1:38 PM Mr. Red

We can't get people to vote once every 4 years.
we definitely couldn’t get them to vote on everything

1:40 PM Mr. Blue

Nothing would get done, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing

Also, make it like an training course.. you must read the law/bill, and at the end, you'll get quizzed on what you've read. If you fail the test you didn't understand the bill and you can't vote on it. you must re-read it.

this is pretty much the greatest idea ever!

1:44 PM Mr. Blue

And you also need a percentage of people to vote or else it doesn't pass at all

That way the bills would have to be reasonably short and to the point (no earmarking stuff) or else people wouldn’t have the time to read it and thus wouldn't vote

(Snip a lot more like this as Mr. Blue's scheme gets more and more complicated - Mr. Silver)

1:45 PM Mr. Silver

Mr. Pig-Iron thought that was the greatest idea ever too, until I pointed out that at least 1/2 the people are idiots and easily manipulated, and that's before considering the unbelievable ease with which any public system that could possibly be devised could be hacked or rigged...and that was just before George W. got "elected" the first time.

1:46 PM Mr. Blue

He thought of this? Oh...

Thanks for the “boost”

*loads gun, points at own head*

(On friend's grill recall and $300 credit – Mr. Silver)

7:18 AM Mr. Silver

"Ah yes...the Gas-Bomb 2500 with Shrapneline lid.  No, we're out of stock.  Please take this store credit and don't say anything

7:18 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO

(On skipping a potentially long waste of play time in my D&D game – Mr. Silver)

8:08 AM Mr. Silver

I think I might "Brady Warp" you guys

(wonders if that term lasted...looks it up)

8:10 AM Mr. Gray

Brady Warp?

8:10 AM Mr. Silver

Nope...Google search is empty

A “Brady Warp” is a term I coined for roleplaying gaming that refers to one of those scenes in The Brady Bunch where someone will say something like "That'll never happen" or "Tuesday is going to be groovy!"

and then the screen spins

and they cut to the scene with disaster happening

8:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

8:12 AM Mr. Silver

So to "Brady Warp" in game is to cut out...say...your 1500 miles of sailing Friday.  I started spreading the term about in my early college days and I found out many years later that gamers I'd never met knew the term much further afield...even here in town.

But it looks like its use has petered out

8:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

Hey what about random encounters?

That's only like 15 days with good wind

8:14 AM Mr. Silver

"After many harrowing adventures, our heroes arrive at..." 

8:14 AM Mr. Gray

LOL I'm fine with that

9:07 AM Mr. Silver

So good news.  The blog got traffic again yesterday

9:08 AM Mr. Yellow

ooook

9:08 AM Mr. Gray

From where this time?

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

All Americans...

9:11 AM Mr. Gray

FBI ?

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

(touches nose, points at Mr. Gray)

9:12 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

12:25 PM Mr. Silver

"Thank you for calling, my name is Mr. Silver.  What's your insipid inappropriate or occult special request?"

12:30 PM Mr. Gray

"Yes Mr. Silver, my computer is possessed by a minor demon. How can I get it out?"

12:34 PM Mr. Green

Sacrifice an animal or small child

12:34 PM Mr. Silver

Pft!  Possession?  Kids stuff.
