Day 34 - A Lot of "Thingy" Stuff

8:00 AM Mr. Blue

I loved this song when I was like, 4-5

Probably the first song I liked

8:00 AM Mr. Silver

“Rock On”?

8:00 AM Mr. Blue

yeah

8:00 AM Mr. Silver

Add that to the "not a rock and roll song" list

8:00 AM Mr. Blue

hehehe, good one

8:07 AM Mr. Silver

So I see in the news that Weiner pulled out

8:08 AM Mr. Blue

Weiner wilted against mounting pressure

I guess the calls to resign rubbed Weiner the wrong way

8:09 AM Mr. Silver

Stood firm against the repeated thrusting by congress, but finally went flaccid and had to withdraw

8:12 AM Mr. Silver

Weiner claimed it was hard, but in reality the decision was an easy one when he considered the possible consequences of staying in.

8:12 AM Mr. Blue

Weiner got tired of being jerked around by the media

8:13 AM Mr. Silver

It was fun for a while, but just started getting too rough and the remarks chafed too much

8:23 AM Mr. Silver

Boehner stood firm behind Weiner's decision, but remained sympathetic.

"After all...aren't we all like Weiner, in a way?"  The ladies of congress unanimously replied "Not really"

8:27 AM Mr. Brown

The Democrats pushed Weiner so hard he had to drop out.

8:27 AM Mr. Blue

penis

8:27 AM Mr. Silver

Please!  This is a family blog, sir!

8:28 AM Mr. Brown

Only use the term Weiner

8:31 AM Mr. Red

Boehner, Weiner…I think there is a trend in our politics. The names show the truth

8:36 AM Mr. Blue

as per the line of succession, Weiner will be replaced by Richard Wangdickphallus

8:37 AM Mr. Silver

Woah!  Senator Koch of Minnesota is a "woman"

8:49 AM Mr. Red

are you sure??

9:04 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/16/targets-anti-union-propaganda-actors-revealed-to-be-union-members/

what's funny is that Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly are all part of AFTRA too

9:09 AM Mr. Silver

Such irony will be lost on, and such connections go unrecognized by, their dim-bulb fans.

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

"Pst!  They're performers making money exploiting your stupidity to promote the agenda of their bosses.  (wink wink)"

9:55 AM Mr. Brown

http://www.armstrongmywire.com/news/read.php?id=18652838&ps=1020&srce=news_class&action=1&lang=en&_LT=UNLC_WINWU00L1_UNEWS

10:33 AM Mr. Silver

New cryptid

11:10 AM Mr. Silver

Found out more about the flying deer.  Seems it had socks over it's ears and there was a small man in red jacket, cap and pointy shoes found dead nearby.  Police are looking for a local man named Heat Miser.

10:47 AM Mr. Blue

Speaking of penises, did you see that video on YT with that Christian guy that claims to see phalluses everywhere?

He says that the phallus is a pagan symbol and it was incorporated into the denver int'l airport, among other buildings

10:57 AM Mr. Brown

Hmm

Never saw that

10:58 AM Mr. Blue

There’s a link to it on cnn.com

11:03 AM Mr. Silver

Pagan symbol, huh?

"And God made them, male and female, and gave the man a pagan symbol to carry with him always and said:  'Go forth, be fruitful and multiply with this appendage that so offendeth me.' "

"winkies" ain't pagan, folks

11:06 AM Mr. Blue

The things he was seeing weren't even penis-shaped

Like, there's tons of stuff penis shaped, not this stuff he was showing

11:06 AM Mr. Silver

Perhaps his own is horribly deformed?

11:06 AM Mr. Blue

Well, yeah

11:06 AM Mr. Silver

He should post a pic of it online

11:06 AM Mr. Blue

He’s obviously obsessed with penises.

He probably misinterprets his own obsessions as some sort of divinely-inspired ability to root out paganism, rather than him just being attracted to dudes

He claims that the aerial design of the airport itself is phallic shaped

Like, it's just an airport.  It’s square buildings and straight-line roads

11:09 AM Mr. Brown

The great wall of China is a big penis

11:09 AM Mr. Blue

It’s several tape worms

By this guy's definition everything is a penis

A door is a penis

A car is a penis

His mustache is a penis

11:10 AM Mr. Brown

My wrist pad looks like a dildo

lol

11:11 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/02/phallic-imagery-denver-airport_n_870563.html

11:12 AM Mr. Silver

He looks like a phallus

A big obnoxious one

Wonder if he's pagan?

11:15 AM Mr. Blue

Better kill 'im, just to be sure

If he's a pagan he'll probably use his witch powers to escape. and if he's not, he'll die an honorable Christian death

11:21 AM Mr. Silver

right

11:22 AM Mr. Silver

If doors, cars and mustaches look like penises to him, I wonder what he thinks a penis looks like

11:22 AM Mr. Brown

Send in the flying deer

We could send a flying phallus at his home - also known as a rocket.

11:32 AM Mr. Silver

ICPM - Inter Continental Phallistic Missile

11:32 AM Mr. Blue

heh

Mr. Brown

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/16/portland-draining-reservoir-after-man-urinates-in-it/?hpt=ju_c2

11:53 AM Mr. Silver

That's amazingly dumb.  Someone got a big kickback from that

11:55 AM Mr. Blue

Yes

Think of how many birds and fish pee and poop in it

11:58 AM Mr. Silver

And it's going to be the favorite pee spot in the tri-county area from now on too

11:58 AM Mr. Blue

yyyep

11:59 AM Mr. Brown

Urine is mostly sterile

So unless you are sick it’s not going to be that bad so they are stupid

12:00 PM Mr. Blue

Well, it's filtered before it gets to you

People aren't drinking straight from the reservoir

12:00 PM Mr. Brown

That’s true too.

12:00 PM Mr. Silver

yup

12:15 PM Mr. Blue

"My daughter Alice McCoochy is the manager of the office." 

"Yeah, no she isn't."

12:26 PM Mr. Silver

Heh

12:35 PM Mr. Silver

All of us are McCoochy

12:37 PM Mr. Silver

Since it means "Son of Coochy"...and...well...you know...

12:37 PM Mr. Blue

I’m not a son of coochy

12:38 PM Mr. Silver

Immaculate conception plus caesarian birth?

12:38 PM Mr. Blue

McCaesarean

12:49 PM Mr. Silver

Ok...there are a very few conditionals where one could not be a McCoochy

Mr. Blue

Finally, a good song

2:44 PM Mr. Silver

“Dream Lover”?

2:44 PM Mr. Blue

“Fantasy”, with the Tom Tom Club sample

2:45 PM Mr. Silver

They aren't playing “Fantasy”

2:45 PM Mr. Blue

Oh wait, this isn't Fantasy

Well, Fantasy is a good Mariah Carey song

2:45 PM Mr. Silver

heh

3:00 PM Mr. Blue

Ever hear of The Dan Band?

They’ve had some cameos in some movies lately.. Old School, The Hangover, uhh Starsky and Hutch

Their claim to fame is covering female-sung ballads but peppering the songs with swear words

3:03 PM Mr. Blue

Dropping F-bombs during "Total Eclipse of the Heart", etc.

3:03 PM Mr. Silver

Don’t recall them but I like the shtick

3:05 PM Mr. Blue

and they generally dress like idiots

Day 33 - "My People Call it Long Maize", Middle-East Hijinks, Communication Failures, Shrooms, and Cat Crowns

7:57 AM Mr. Brown

Been reading about wendigos

8:02 AM Mr. Silver
Heard a couple different variants on that one.

8:05 AM Mr. Brown

Wendigo psychosis

8:07 AM Mr. Silver
Belief that you're a Native American giant/spirit?

8:10 AM Mr. Brown

No people that get stuck cannibalizing but then continue to do it

8:22 AM Mr. Silver
They call that Wendigo Psychosis?  I call it...well...cannibalism

8:25 AM Mr. Brown

yeah

Just one of those fun mental things they tried to name

Which is just cannibalism

9:07 AM Mr. Silver

strange

9:13 AM Mr. Silver
"The monkey is there to push the button on the warhe-satellite!"

10:04 AM Mr. Brown

We have a bin Laden successor

10:06 AM Mr. Silver
Always will. 

10:06 AM Mr. Brown

Apparently nobody thinks he can do the job

10:10 AM Mr. Silver
good
Allah picked exactly the sort of leader they needed then
Bring on the jihadist flash mobs and water balloonings

10:13 AM Mr. Brown

He already has a pre-marked spot on his forehead for us to shoot him

12:09 PM Mr. Silver
Always love these:  "May I have your cell number in case we get cut off?"  "Sure...it's 555 (click)"

11:04 AM Mr. Gray

I do have to say this whole "phuckit" Crown attitude seems to work a lot better and is a lot less stressful LOL

11:04 AM Mr. Silver
heh

11:05 AM Mr. Gray

Should write a book called "The Zen of Phucket". Though I think some people from there might be confused LOL

11:06 AM Mr. Silver
probably
11:08 AM Mr. Silver
Of course, considering the 'tude involved, Phuckem

11:09 AM Mr. Gray

Yep yep

12:29 PM Mr. Gray

If you find out let me know lol

12:29 PM Mr. Green

okie doke

12:41 PM Mr. Silver
Sounds like an awesome program
"I feel that I relate better in my marriage," one participant reported. "There is more empathy – a greater understanding of people and understanding their difficulties and less judgment."
"I also can talk to trees and the color blue tastes like cherry kool-aid"

12:42 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

2:03 PM Mr. Silver

All go well with the dog?

2:04 PM Mr. Gray

Yep yep

He is usually pretty well behaved for me

Think he just kinda knows I won’t take his crap LOL

2:04 PM Mr. Silver

You have a “Dog Crown”

2:04 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

Mega Crown. Good for all Species

They all just kinda know you aren’t gonna take crap LOL

Well, except cats....because they apparently invented the “Crown” idea

2:15 PM Mr. Silver

I can see that...ancient Egypt... 

"We're trying to do the best for the common folk and they just trash on us.  Sigh.  We should be like that cat over there.  Look at her.  Aloof.  Superior.  Like the gods owe HER respect.  Like she's got a big golden hat on that everyone has to bow to." 

"That's not a bad idea..." 

"What?" 

2:21 PM Mr. Gray

LOL Exactly!!

2:22 PM Mr. Silver

Pharaoh....combo of a cat's  "Phhff!" hiss and "araoh?" meow.

2:22 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

2:22 PM Mr. Green

heheh

2:24 PM Mr. Silver
"The pharaoh is a real bast-ed." 
"A what?" 
"Bast-ed. The guy's a real bast-ed." 
"Oh...Bastard!  Thought you said bastet...it’s your accent." 
"What the hell is a 'bastet'?" 
"I dunno...I thought it was some god-cat-term thing." 
"That's not a bad idea..." 
"What?" 
“There’s furry bast-eds all over the pharaoh’s palace...we’ll make a goddess for them.  Bastet.”

2:29 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

Damn...that so makes sense

LOL

It’s all so clear now

2:30 PM Mr. Silver
Heh



3:21 PM Mr. Silver
It's 3:21...any last minute wisdom for the troops?

3:22 PM Mr. Brown

Drink your heavy beer slowly

3:23 PM Mr. Silver
(blinks)
If it's a stout, I heartily agree

Day 32 - Fabrications 13:45, Small Houses, Death Rays, and Still Not Rock & Roll To Me

8:59 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/14/bible-cited-as-reason-for-kicking-gay-men-out-of-public-pool/

I woulda said "once you find the part in the bible that says no gays in the pool and show it to us, we'll leave."

9:00 AM Mr. Silver

"Don't pee or be gay in the pool...so sayeth the Lord"  Fabrications, 13:45

9:23 AM Mr. Silver

I love the fact that during the gay-pool incident they told the jerks they were illegally discriminating, and the response was to validate that they were illegally discriminating.

9:00 AM Mr. Silver

The new film vehicle for Samuel L Jackson: http://www.armstrongmywire.com/news/read.php?id=18650006&ps=1011&srce=news_class&action=3&lang=en&_LT=UNLC_USNWU00L3_UNEWS&page=3

9:02 AM Mr. Blue

garter snakes? pussies

9:14 AM Mr. Blue

(Sings) “Feel like bacon love!”

9:16 AM Mr. Silver

Song like that'd hit the charts hard

9:18 AM Mr. Brown

Kevin Bacon

Love

9:46 AM Mr. Silver

(sings) "Olive my love...Olive my love...Oh, Olive my love..."

I always picture Popeye cartoons.

11:13 AM Mr. Silver

Speaking of songs that irritate the bejeezus out of me....

11:18 AM Mr. Silver

(sings) "I can drone for hours and hours...I can drone for hours and hours...I can drone for hours and hours...I can drone for hours and hours..."

11:19 AM Mr. Brown

"I see Miles" ( whispered)

11:20 AM Mr. Blue

So it's a high-visibility day...OK, we get it.

If you look over past Ohio there is a big storm system cutting thru

Right over top of Indiana

9:24 AM Mr. Silver

Positive positioning.  Those are "opportunity clouds".

Take advantage

9:31 AM Mr. Blue

weather underground is an actual weather site?

9:33 AM Mr. Silver

All the secret weather

9:33 AM Mr. Brown

Yes it is

9:34 AM Mr. Silver

Or...all the subterranean weather.  Did you check the magma reports for Friday?  Wow 400 degrees F by noon.

9:34 AM Mr. Blue

when i think weather underground i think of that terrorist group from the 60's and 70's

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground

9:46 AM Mr. Silver

"Radical meteorological activism is the only way to overthrow the corrupt weather in power."

(Mr. Blue loves architecture and city planning and is always looking at aerial shots of construction projects and proposals and such things - Mr. Silver)

10:11 AM Mr. Blue

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/austindaniel/Bell%20Acres%20mansion/dfg.jpg

house in Sewickley that was recently completed

10:12 AM Mr. Silver

Such squalor.

It's inhuman

Note the full childrens' playground in the back.

10:15 AM Mr. Blue

it's a bit much, to be honest, unless it's a family of 25

It's not even that big of a lot.. and the other houses in the neighborhood are like, 1/20th the size

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/austindaniel/Bell%20Acres%20mansion/aerialcomparisontoneighboringhouse-1.jpg  compared to the neighbor's house on the right

mind you that house on the right is still pretty huge

10:23 AM Mr. Silver

Anything on the owner?

10:25 AM Mr. Blue

"If you don’t already know, this 39,400 square foot castle of a home belongs to Joseph Nocito, who is a 50ish North Hills entrepreneur and real estate developer whose holdings include Northland Properties, the Stone Mansion restaurant in Franklin Park and Trybus Co. Inc., a McCandless maker of reinforced tape used internationally by manufacturers. The 34 room mansion includes 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms. The home has 22,800 square feet on the first, second, and third floors. The basement takes up the remaining 9,600 square feet. The home also includes 13 fireplaces and 14 and 1/2 acres of land. There is also a garage that can hold up to 15 cars. The mega-mansion is the biggest home in Western Pennsylvania."

10:25 AM Mr. Blue

So, a nobody

10:30 AM Mr. Silver

Heh

10:50 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.lvrj.com/news/vdara-visitor---death-ray--scorched-hair-103777559.html

10:57 AM Mr. Silver

heard of that

hehe

"Please, enjoy this particular seat, sir.  And take this beach towel with the big picture of an ant on it."

11:02 AM Mr. Brown

I wonder how many of those death rays there are around

There are a lot of glass structures

11:03 AM Mr. Blue

but none concave-shaped

11:03 AM Mr. Silver

Right, this has the curve to focus too

11:03 AM Mr. Blue

and is facing directly south

11:04 AM Mr. Brown

i would love to go to that and melt things

11:04 AM Mr. Blue

not gonna melt much more than plastic bags if it only gets to 130-140 degrees

11:07 AM Mr. Brown

We could cook things

Just need a piece of black metal

11:08 AM Mr. Blue

on wheels

11:08 AM Mr. Brown

“Hello sir would you like your steak well done on the death ray?”

11:12 AM Mr. Silver

And some sort of autotracker and marking spot

11:13 AM Mr. Silver

Guest - "What's the red spot over there?" 

Staff - "Death ray...ever see Goldfinger?  'No Mr. Bond I expect you to die?'  It's like that."

12:37 PM Mr. Silver

So then.  What songs can we think of that we'd never call "Rock & Roll" that talk about it or claim to be rock & roll?

The first example being Neil Young

"Rock and Roll Will Never Die"

12:44 PM Mr. Blue

Jethro Tull - too old to rock and roll, too young to die

12:52 PM Mr. Silver

Brenda Lee - "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree"

1:23 PM Mr. Brown

What about Huey Lewis "Heart of rock n roll"

1:26 PM Mr. Silver

It's got that kinda “rock”y thing going in it.

Then there's "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" 

1:28 PM Mr. Blue

F that song

And White Rabbit is the Bolero of LSD-influenced rock

1:28 PM Mr. Silver

well where's the rock and roll part?

1:28 PM Mr. Blue

i just mean i hate that song

and it's definitely not rock n roll, so it works

1:30 PM Mr. Silver

Getting the opinion from the article in wiki that "Rock and Roll" may not actually exist

1:31 PM Mr. Blue

not when there's a "hall of fame" for it that includes Jay-Z memorabilia, no

2:29 PM Mr. Brown

oh dang cannot see the eclipse tonight

cuz we are in North America

2:29 PM Mr. Blue

we North Americans have the worst luck ever!!

2:34 PM Mr. Blue

2:42 PM Mr. Silver

you'd think a few people with directional microphones would have it figured out in a night or two

2:43 PM Mr. Blue

yep, probably a combination of things

maybe they put the wrong bulbs in street lamps

2:45 PM Mr. Silver

"The problem was traced to this man, Mr. Harold Compton, of #4 Goose St, a comb, and a small piece of tracing paper."

2:50 PM Mr. Silver

"Tin-eared Mr. Compton was attempting to get a spot on the new season of X-Factor but his only talent - with no sense of pitch or rhythm - was a sustained single note on the makeshift kazoo.  However he pointed out that his record time was well over 4 hours straight on clear nights."

2:52 PM Mr. Silver

"A recording deal and military psychological warfare deal are both on the table for Mr. Compton, pictured here trying to climb a tree to get away from the people of Woodland."

2:48 PM Mr. Brown

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum

2:49 PM Mr. Blue

been to Taos and Bristol, never heard any hums

case closed, in my opinion

3:00 PM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Dunes  check out the "calumet prairie" picture about 1/3rd of the way down, on the right

So scenic!

3:09 PM Mr. Silver

Beautiful example of high-tension towers in their natural habitat in the pristine wilderness

3:09 PM Mr. Blue

and a gas line

3:09 PM Mr. Silver

See I missed that...natural camouflage. Another of Nature's wonders.

Mr. Silver

Hate wakin' up late and rushing...

7:05 AM Mr. Gray

Understand completely

7:05 AM Mr. Green

I just hate wakin up

7:06 AM Mr. Gray

That’s only because you keep hoping for Death

7:26 AM Mr. Silver

http://www.wired.com/autopia/2011/06/die-smiling-on-this-hoverbike/

Here you go Mr. Green, this'll speed it up

7:29 AM Mr. Gray

Nice!

7:30 AM Mr. Green

That's cool. Hope he gets it off the ground

7:58 AM Mr. Gray

Man I really hope the Castle Doctrine passes in the state senate.

7:58 AM Mr. Green

what's that?

7:59 AM Mr. Gray

As it stands right now, by law, even if someone breaks into your home you are to "retreat" from the situation. The Castle Doctrine will allow homeowners to use deadly force against an intruder

Also permits you to defend yourself outside your home and in your vehicle

7:59 AM Mr. Green

cool

8:00 AM Mr. Gray

None of that "I shot the burgler....and now he sued me for his injuries" crap

8:17 AM Mr. Silver

Took your chances in a hazardous occupation.  Sorry, you lose.

Gamers would understand it

8:19 AM Mr. Silver

"You didn't run when you botched your Move Silently/Hide in Shadows?  Whatever.  Be happy he didn't score a crit."
