Day 39 - Mr. Blue Needs Women, Lawful-Sharia Characters, Torchwood Versus The Doctor, Caffeine's Poster Boy, and There's Noah Dinosaurs in the Bible of Gilgamesh,

12:28 PM Mr. Blue

I think I’m gonna delete (onetime girlfriend) off Facebook. She's not making the effort to be even the friend that she claimed she wanted to be

12:29 PM Mr. Silver

Didn't even realize you had any contact since the last "the end" (like 9 months ago - MS)

12:30 PM Mr. Blue

minimal

12:40 PM Mr. Silver

I don't think she's taking the romance seriously.  Have to tell her it's over. 

12:41 PM Mr. Blue

I’ll give her another shot to hang out

12:41 PM Mr. Silver

"We never talk anymore...it's just sex sex sex!  Wait...wrong Messenger."

12:41 PM Mr. Blue

I texted her in like.. April, telling her I missed talking to her and stuff.

12:59 PM Mr. Silver

You need a new prospect

Mail order?

12:59 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

1:00 PM Mr. Silver

"Well let's take a look at your application form, Mr. Blue. I see you drew in your own price-range box for $50-500. Very creative, sir."

1:00 PM Mr. Blue

lol

1:20 PM Mr. Blue

I seem to go for difficult girls

but not the typical type... I don't go for girls out of my league or anything. Just difficult in a different way

1:22 PM Mr. Silver

“Rubik's Girl”

1:39 PM Mr. Blue

I have a healthy crush on someone, but I don't want to say more than that.

1:43 PM Mr. Silver

Here?

1:44 PM Mr. Blue

If I start answering yes or no questions you'll probably end up guessing it right

1:44 PM Mr. Silver

You're learnin'  ;-)

hehe

I nailed Mr. Gray with a well-timed "What's he like?" in a group several weeks ago when he announced he was seeing someone.

good reactions

1:47 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

I was gonna put on Facebook "I like my coffee like I like my women. (I like black women)"

1:50 PM Mr. Silver

or "iced"

1:50 PM Mr. Blue

heheh

That's a good one, might use that

8:09 AM Mr. Silver

Decided to look up the Taliban this morning

8:09 AM Mr. Blue

Interesting?

8:09 AM Mr. Silver

No. Started skimming pretty early

Just the worst kind of people with the worst end-justifies-means attitude

8:11 AM Mr. Blue

They've got a pretty sweet life with their strict sharia law

Not 'sweet' as we might know it, but sweet for them

8:12 AM Mr. Silver

A “paradise on earth”, truly.  Except everyone is completely miserable.

And in the effort to keep it that way...hey...”evil is okay” for that.

8:18 AM Mr. Silver

I think the intellectual discussions of principles versus dogma versus faith versus modern sensibilities versus culture and such that the scholars go through discussing and analyzing the Taliban could be safely replaced with a five-year-old's "They're bad"

8:18 AM Mr. Silver
Or a D&D player's "They're Lawful Evil"

(Discussing new season of Torchwood, partially reconstructed – Mr. Silver)

9:00 AM Mr. Silver

If I recall correctly, the "Miracle Day" plot begins with nobody dying anymore (looks)

9:04 AM Mr. Silver

Nod...yup...nobody dies a la "The Soldier and Death" and the population of Earth starts to balloon

9:05 AM Mr. Silver

And Torchwood is going to have to try to solve it without The Doctor. He'd have it figured out and fixed in a day.

9:05 AM Mr. Silver

“Oh! I see...immortality attack. Sontarans I should think. (Fiddles with Torchwood equipment) Ah yes, there, you see? Sontaran warship in Earth orbit. You can see the distortion. Have it fixed in a jiff, just a moment (More fiddling). Right, done, field is nullified. I'll just pop off and tell them to leave. Back in a bit. (Jumps into TARDIS).”

9:11 AM Mr. Brown

Wow! Need to stop drinking coffee.

9:11 AM Mr. Silver

9am buzz?

9:12 AM Mr. Brown

I think I’m caffeine sensitive and coffee seems to hit me the hardest.

Its making me sweat

And feel jittery

Drinking anything else with caffeine in it does not do this to me

Just the coffee

My lip is twitching now too

9:13 AM Mr. Red

So much for that double pot

9:13 AM Mr. Silver

You should advertise for Folgers, Mr. Brown

9:17 AM Mr. Silver

"Folgers crystals hit you fast and hard! That jittery feeling and systemic flushing is a patented process we call "The Sweats"! Drinking anything else just can't do it!"

10:40 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/23/scientists-want-to-dig-up-shakespeare-to-find-out-if-he-smoked-weed/

10:46 AM Mr. Blue

YYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

10:47 AM Mr. Red

Too be or...what was that again duuude??

10:47 AM Mr. Blue

lol

11:22 AM Mr. Brown

So he was a druggy

That’s how he came up with good stories

12:17 PM Mr. Silver

"Thanks for calling, my name is Mr. Silver, how may I help you."
"Uh...hello?"
"Yes? Hello?"
"Ok...just wanted to make sure I got a live person."
"Yep, I'm alive."
“Good...okay..."
"...If you'd like Technical Support press 1.  For Account Inquires press 2.  For Sales press 3." 

(sooooo tempting....)

12:18 PM Mr. Red

You should've

1:00 PM Mr. Brown

That would have been awesome

1:21 PM Mr. Brown

I'm still trying to figure out the point of the dinosaurs

1:24 PM Mr. Red

Eat poop and sleep

That’s the point

1:27 PM Mr. Silver

They eat poop?

1:27 PM Mr. Red

,

eat, (comma) poop...

lol

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

What's the point of us?

1:30 PM Mr. Brown

Earth keepers

1:30 PM Mr. Blue

We're doing a horrible job

The dinosaurs did a better job than we did

1:30 PM Mr. Brown

Yeah, we suck at it right now

1:45 PM Mr. Brown

I contest greatly anybody using the argument that dinosaurs are here to test our faith

1:46 PM Mr. Blue

Nobody says that

But people say that dinosaurs never existed and god put the fossils there to test our faith

1:47 PM Mr. Silver

I adore that

Literalist people loudly arguing that a couple vague words = dinosaurs are in the Bible and another set of different literalists saying fossils are a test and the animals never existed.

1:49 PM Mr. Blue

Everything is apparently a test of our faith

like verifiable evidence

To be a “true” Christian or Jew, I guess you basically have to block out reality completely

1:50 PM Mr. Brown

Do the Jews say that about dinosaurs? (“test of faith” I assume. Chopped a bit - MS)

1:51 PM Mr. Blue

There's different kinds

Just like Christians, there's hardcore biblical literalists, moderates, and then you've got the Sarah Silvermans and Larry Davids

1:52 PM Mr. Silver

Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist, Restaurante Style, Deluxe Assortment, Chocolate Chip and Family Size Variety Pack

1:52 PM Mr. Blue

I kind of like the hardcore ones more... at least I respect it more

The people that seem to say "the bible AND scientists are both right!" just need to hop off the darn fence and pick a side.

(And then we'll skip over a constant flow of the sort of stuff I banned from here – Mr. Silver)

 

2:28 PM Mr. Blue

The question is do you believe in the story of Noah

and, if so, to what extent?

2:29 PM Mr. Brown

I believe in the hidden message of the story of Noah so yes that makes me believe in the story of Noah

2:29 PM Mr. Blue

The hidden message?

2:29 PM Mr. Brown

If I worded that right

2:29 PM Mr. Blue

Do you believe in a global flood and a boat with 2 of every animal?

And do you believe all humans alive today are descended from Noah?

2:30 PM Mr. Brown

That would be taking it too literally for sure

2:31 PM Mr. Blue

Not too literally.. just literally

That's what the bible says happened

What I described is what's in the bible

2:42 PM Mr. Brown

You always have to look at the way people wrote stuff at the time it came from too

And how well it was interpreted

2:42 PM Mr. Blue

How did they write stuff?

So what do you think actually happened

2:42 PM Mr. Silver

The Flood is pretty well laid out in the Bible, Mr. Brown

The Tower of Babel was a "so anyway..." blip by comparison to the Flood

2:43 PM Mr. Silver

The Mesopotamian stuff is rather good too

same character, different players and causes and results

but still 'The Deluge"

(Good stuff.  Whole epic is, but this is the Flood at the end.  http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/mesopotamian/gilgamesh/tab11.htm - Mr. Silver)

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

GREAT song

“I’m the miggidy miggidy miggidy mac daddy”

3:10 PM Mr. Silver

Damned address book BS

Killed the highlights page, thank you SO friggin much

3:11 PM Mr. Blue

That's wiggidy wiggidy wiggidy wack

(gotta put that in the highlights)

3:13 PM Mr. Brown

Just give it a smack

To try and fix what that addy book may lack

3:14 PM Mr. Blue

Show it your pimp hand is still strong, Mr. Silver

3:15 PM Mr. Brown

Give it the respect side

Day 38 - A Pot in Every Chicken, Fake Religions, The French French, and Sleeping Your Way To Immortality

Mr. Silver
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/06/22/new-bill-ending-federal-ban-on-marijuana-to-be-introduced-in-congress/
They'll chicken out...but the end is becoming inevitable

8:25 AM Mr. Gray

Yeah...I really try not to read stories like that while at work, thanks

8:30 AM Mr. Silver
hehe
eh...
Although the culture is of no interest to me, the topic has been a logical thorn in my side since the early 80s
8:39 AM Mr. Silver
Titanic waste of resources, lives, opportunities.
All going back to Nixon not liking Hippies
"He did wha???  What a moron."

8:41 AM Mr. Green

Yep, Nixon, the quintessential Republican... always gotta be hatin’ on someone

Mr. Gray

Yeah the whole Nixon going after the "hippies" by making things illegal was just stupid

Its a waste of money, and you'd think prohibition would have been a big enough clue. Only caused bootlegging, smuggling, gang violence and didn’t stop a thing

It just created a need for a black market on something that could be taxed

I read that Washington (state) is trying to push through legislation to make it useable for recreation and go completely against the federal ban

Mr. Silver
“Whatever you do, don't look at the trap!”
"I looked at the trap, Ray."

 Mr. Gray

Apparently Vin Diesel is working on a new Riddick movie

I like that character

11:31 AM Mr. Gray

Movie will be R-rated apparently too

bonus

11:41 AM Mr. Silver
Bloody, with swears and boobies

11:42 AM Mr. Gray

Hoping so LOL

8:17 AM Mr. Brown

I can't get out to look up Scientology on wiki

8:18 AM Mr. Silver

Interesting

Delving into fabricated religions today then?

8:20 AM Mr. Brown

Still not sure what it is

Sounds stupid

8:20 AM Mr. Silver

It is stupid

8:20 AM Mr. Brown

Just wanted to see how stupid

8:20 AM Mr. Silver

But the author knew it going in

Having read some of his fiction, his opinion about humans being gullible idiots was pretty developed

8:24 AM Mr. Brown

I'm still not sure what their belief system is

8:25 AM Mr. Red

Hey all the Hollywood actors go for it as their religion...so it HAS to be good.

8:26 AM Mr. Brown

lol

8:26 AM Mr. Silver

Never helped Hubbard's case to state that if you want to get really rich and famous, start a religion.

Of course, the fact that this statement clearly outlines why he founded Scientology and is still ignored...well...it just bolsters his opinion of human intelligence

8:29 AM Mr. Red

Yeah but he did get really rich didn't he?

I remember a 'religion' - Pastafarian if I remember right

8:33 AM Mr. Red

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

http://www.venganza.org  

8:37 AM Mr. Brown

You shall not eat your god

lol

8:46 AM Mr. Brown

I was watching a show this morning that was going through the different religions through time to see the development of evil or the devil.

Hinduism is cool because they say that Evil comes from us.

Not a god.

That the evil is within

that to me is a strong and valid belief

9:00 AM Mr. Silver
Direct translation from the ancient texts "People are a-holes"


 

10:00 AM Mr. Blue

heh

Topic on talk radio this morning was that Obama is to blame for the gang violence in Mexico

In fact, he is funding it

10:02 AM Mr. Silver

yyyyyyyyyyyeahhhhhhhh

10:10 AM Mr. Blue

So that he and the ATF can push their agenda of stricter gun control

10:19 AM Mr. Silver

They were blaming him for purposely driving up gas prices too, like he could.  Morons pandering to morons.

11:24 AM Mr. Blue

"more random than a teenage girl."

11:34 AM Mr. Blue

"I’m not the brightest bulb in the book."

11:36 AM Mr. Red

“or sharpest knife in the crayon box”

12:22 PM Mr. Silver

So...2 days...

Only 1 visit to the blog yesterday

They hate us again

12:23 PM Mr. Brown

lol

Are we becoming boring?

1:17 PM Mr. Silver
So, I don't get it.

1:18 PM Mr. Blue

what?

1:21 PM Mr. Silver
Well, what I wasn't getting was The French...but

1:22 PM Mr. Blue

What French?

1:23 PM Mr. Silver
The French ones. Well...I got 8 hits from France the other day...and now after 48 hours and 2 more posts...just 1 hit, from the USA

1:24 PM Mr. Red

The Dutch were on vacation?

1:24 PM Mr. Silver
Danes.  The Dutch haven't chimed in yet.
So anyway, we went from cosmopolitan to everyone leaving.
Was it “The French” that did it?

12:29 PM Mr. Blue

I am extremely tired

12:29 PM Mr. Brown

Why are you always tired?

12:30 PM Mr. Blue

I have permanent mono?

I dunno

If I don't get 13 hours of beauty sleep I’m a mess

12:30 PM Mr. Brown

Sounds like you are not sleeping well if you need 13

12:30 PM Mr. Silver
nope

12:30 PM Mr. Blue

Well I don't actually need 13...9

12:30 PM Mr. Silver
Still

12:31 PM Mr. Brown

If you get 5 hours of REM, you’re golden

12:31 PM Mr. Blue

But it takes a while to get into REM

12:31 PM Mr. Silver

I could never get into REM...I like just a couple songs...

(ba-dum CHISHHhhhhhhh!)

12:32 PM Mr. Blue

agh yuck

12:32 PM Mr. Brown

You need a parrot that is taught to say Ba-dum chishhhhhhhh

12:32 PM Mr. Silver
(wants!)
12:38 PM Mr. Silver
Maybe teach it a laugh track and "wah wah waaaaaaaahhhh" too!

1:26 PM Mr. Blue

I forget who, but some writer had a technique of attaching a bell to himself and he'd sit in a chair... and every time he would nod off the bell would ring and wake him up. He said he got his best ideas when he was in this half-sleep/half-awake stage. Might been an inventor even.. maybe Tesla

1:28 PM Mr. Red

Never heard that, interesting

1:31 PM Mr. Brown

That’s the point when I used my mind to stop a clock

1:31 PM Mr. Silver
I get most of my best stories and project ideas on the borders of The Neverland, yes

1:33 PM Mr. Blue

If I did that my writing would be about feathered turtles and dinosaurs

1:34 PM Mr. Silver
sounds good.

1:34 PM Mr. Red

Hey it may sell

1:42 PM Mr. Blue

to druggies

1:42 PM Mr. Silver

and kiddies

1:43 PM Mr. Red

Their money is good too

1:44 PM Mr. Brown

When my friend's body was attacking his cerebellum

He said he lived on a farm for what seemed like a full year as a hallucination

And at another point he thought he was in a old army hospital

1:53 PM Mr. Blue

Wait, what?

2:05 PM Mr. Brown

He was hallucinating hardcore

2:08 PM Mr. Brown

It was very vivid, he said

He went from spring through winter back to spring at this farm

In his head

2:09 PM Mr. Blue

Like “Inception”

Ken Watanabe's character was stuck in his dream for like...60 years

But in reality it was only a few hours

2:39 PM Mr. Brown

That is exactly how it was like for my friend

Only few hours here but a year or so there

3:06 PM Mr. Silver
If you could bottle a reliable form of that, you'd be a trillionaire

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

Like a sleep-state pill?

3:11 PM Mr. Silver
No. One dose and you "live" an extra year doing something else in a dream.
Assuming it didn't completely fry your brain doing it, every night could be an extended adventure and you'd come out of a month of nights with 30 years of extra experiences under your belt.

3:12 PM Mr. Blue

But wouldn't you be incredibly detached from reality when you woke up?

To the tune of 30 years detached?

3:16 PM Mr. Silver
Yes

3:16 PM Mr. Blue

That'd be pretty sweet

3:20 PM Mr. Silver
Have a nice 3000 year retirement in your last real 8 years of old age, perhaps
3:20 PM Mr. Silver

One unbearable day in the real world to eat and such, then back to adventure

3:20 PM Mr. Blue

I’d probably never wanna leave

3:21 PM Mr. Blue

Nobody would ever leave

Some of my dreams suck

Like the ones where I can barely move and everything is too distorted to enjoy

But the lucid ones.. I’d love to be in those like, all the time

3:22 PM Mr. Silver
Well, I did specify "reliable"

3:23 PM Mr. Blue

Yes

I think what might work is something that knocks you into REM, but then gives you a hit of something...like maybe a bit of caffeine or something...to give you energy in your REM state.

Because usually if I’m TOO TOO tired, that’s' when my dreams just aren't fun.

Day 37 - What If God Forgets His Password?, Choosing a Heaven Based on the Benefit Plan, and Namebo

Mr. Brown

I was thinking this morning about the different galaxies

8:09 AM Mr. Silver
The billions of them?

8:09 AM Mr. Brown

Yes

I came up with a thought that what if there was a creator for each of them

8:09 AM Mr. Red

That’s a lot of thinking

8:10 AM Mr. Silver

"Have no god before Me for any practical purposes."

"The others are, like, really far away.  How can I put this, Moses...umm...remember how long it took to get from Egypt to here?"

8:15 AM Mr. Silver

(looks up from commandments slab) "Lord...can we pare this first one down a little?" 

"Pare down?" 

"Well...like this bit here about space-time and gravity...gravity was that 'sticking to the world' part, right?" 

"Too wordy?" 

"Too wordy, Lord...plus, honestly...I don't know these words and I had some education when I was younger."

8:20 AM Mr. Brown

Just a crazy thought

8:20 AM Mr. Blue

Where are the creators?

8:20 AM Mr. Red

Let's go home and drink??

8:22 AM Mr. Silver

Crazy thoughts make the world go round, Mr Brown.

Going home and drinking makes the spin bearable, Mr. Red

So we're left with Mr. Blue's question

8:24 AM Mr. Red

They're in the clouds right???

8:26 AM Mr. Blue

Either they're invisible, miniscule, in another dimension, or they don't exist I guess

8:29 AM Mr. Brown

Or its all the particles around us that we cannot see that makes the creator up.

8:30 AM Mr. Silver

Stick to terms...you started this Mr. Brown. "Creators"

8:35 AM Mr. Blue

You're saying each galaxy has its own creator

or.. you're hypothesizing

8:35 AM Mr. Brown

Hypothesizing

8:40 AM Mr. Blue

a) invisible b) miniscule c) in another dimension or somewhere else d) they don't exist

8:40 AM Mr. Brown

Basically

8:42 AM Mr. Silver
The universe could be a network, of course

8:42 AM Mr. Red

Wonder if their network breaks like ours

8:42 AM Mr. Silver

Independent systems on a (snerk) "universal" industrial standard

Perhaps you can request info from another galaxy if you have the IP and password

Directory functions locally in the EM spectrum, of course (looks up at stars)

9:05 AM Mr. Silver
If a galaxy is nothing but a big computer, then the "creator" of each is implied to be not only outside, but each has a lot of them, but perhaps only a single "user"
9:13 AM Mr. Silver
The Milky Way is an Ultra-Dell with components from Ultra-Japan and Ultra-China, loaded with Ultra-Windows programmed by Ultra-Microsoft

9:14 AM Mr. Red

Run by Ultra-Man!!

9:15 AM Mr. Silver
hehehe
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
Though in this proposed scheme, yes, Ultra-Man...playing Ultra-Farmville and looking at Ultra-porn.

9:37 AM Mr. Silver

This all goes back to my theory that alien space travelers aren't necessarily smarter than earthlings...just have bought better toys.

9:37 AM Mr. Blue

Than us right now?

9:37 AM Mr. Silver

yes

9:37 AM Mr. Blue

Their technology is more advanced

9:38 AM Mr. Silver

I could buy a sportscar...they maybe just buy their spaceships.  I'm suggesting none of us really knows in detail how it works, how to build one, or how to fix it.  We just turn it on and go.

11:42 AM Mr. Blue

Seems like you can gauge a religion's popularity based on its after life promises

11:43 AM Mr. Brown

Oh yeah all people think about is what happens when they die.

11:43 AM Mr. Blue

Eternal happiness and harps and angels >> 72 virgins >> constant rebirth >> empty darkness maybe

11:45 AM Mr. Silver
I was a big fan of daily battle and feasting for a while
End game on that one kinda blows though
11:48 AM Mr. Silver
"Lasts until Ragnarok? Cool! Super battle! I'm in! What? Guaranteed to lose and Valhalla is destroyed...eh...well...."
11:55 AM Mr. Silver
Angels...
Talk about an entity concept that changed over time
Terrifying things
Now they're pretty blondes and dead relatives

11:58 AM Mr. Blue

God got more sugary too

In the Old Testament he murdered about 20,000,000 people, by conservative counts

11:58 AM Mr. Silver
Can't really murder your own action figures I suppose

11:59 AM Mr. Blue

sure you can

11:59 AM Mr. Silver
He had 'em doing it to each other, mostly

11:59 AM Mr. Red

Reading above, I figure its got to be heaven if there are 72 virgins there.
Sure ain’t any around here

11:59 AM Mr. Silver

"All 72 available virgins are in heaven..."

12:00 PM Mr. Brown

lol

Wow how can you share 72 virgins in heaven and then they are still virgins?

12:01 PM Mr. Silver

St. Peter catching the new guy scoping out the 72 virgins "Pft! Good luck getting anywhere with them."

12:01 PM Mr. Brown
lol

3:14 PM Mr. Blue

"My last name is Rambo, like the movie."

"That's badass! I mean, lemme pull up your info."

3:16 PM Mr. Silver

"What a coincidence! My last name is Firstblood!"

3:16 PM Mr. Blue

lol

3:18 PM Mr. Blue

"My last name is Dontstopormymomwillshoot!  It's Dutch."

3:23 PM Mr. Silver

"We dropped the 'Van' as pretentious in the 1960s"

3:29 PM Mr. Blue

Whoops

It was "Stop or my mom will shoot"

3:30 PM Mr. Brown

lol

I thought so

3:32 PM Mr. Silver
I'll fix the line for you in editing...                         (wink - Mr. Silver)    
These are always a mess   

3:32 PM Mr. Brown

My name is Bambo.

3:33 PM Mr. Silver
Bambi married Dumbo?

3:33 PM Mr. Brown

No the deer Rambo

He hunts the hunters

3:34 PM Mr. Blue

The Great Rambino!!!
