Day 66 - Jedi Have Sith For Brains, Replicant Mr. Brown "Returns", Serial Killing Is Passé, Do These Flowers Smell Funny To You?, And Glamdring: The Foot Hammer

         (Referring to trailers for the Star Wars MMORPG currently in beta.  Mr. Gray got an invite - Mr. Silver)
12:45 PM Mr. Silver
Sith bug me...
So do Jedi, actually
Self-crippling cultures

12:46 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

Gotta love how Tarkin mentioned that

In the cartoon I mean

That the Jedi code prevents them from going far enough

12:47 PM Mr. Silver
"How do you advance, Sith?"
"Oh, we kill off the most experienced and talented."
"That's stupid!"
"Yes, Jedi...about as stupid as, say, never breeding."
12:54 PM Mr. Silver
The last trailer I saw for the game had Jedi/Sith 'behavior' stuff in it that was great for drama but both behaviors baffled me: "See, this is why neither side is winning."

12:54 PM Mr. Gray

The code definitely does matter when making your choices lol

I got grilled on that by the Darth I apprenticed too. He didn’t like it when he asked me about the code and my guy went "Umm...kill the Jedi?"

12:55 PM Mr. Silver
In the scene it's 2 on 2 – Jedi master and apprentice vs Sith master and apprentice, with the Jedi covering the escape of a few friends. There's a nice big pause in the confrontation and the Jedi master says "I'll stay here and fight...you get away to fight another day apprentice!"
(me) "Why? You can both clearly leave."
So the Jedi master waits around, gets killed, and advances nothing whatsoever at the cost of a crippling loss to his team.
12:57 PM Mr. Silver
After that fight, for no apparent reason and to the complete detriment of the Sith war effort, the apprentice backstabs and kills his master.
(me) “Losers”

1:00 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

Hey ya know....if he is wounded....take the opportunity and move on up

1:01 PM Mr. Silver
Hehe
Silly little evilkins



7:06 AM Mr. Silver
morning

7:07 AM Mr. Pink

morning

7:09 AM Mr. Silver
Dragging. I skipped my usual "snooze button" and have felt all screwed up since. Stumbly...half aware...no appetite. I'm running on a bunch of Pepsi and a "fun size" pack of peanut M&Ms

7:10 AM Mr. Pink

You should've gotten one of those 5 hour energy drinks

7:14 AM Mr. Silver
Good plan...we'll add frenzy and I'll be a 3rd gen zombie by break time when my appetite kicks in.

7:17 AM Mr. Pink

haha

7:46 AM Mr. Pink

The return of Mr. Brown

8:03 AM Mr. Silver
So you're back and Mr. Blue is out
I still think it's an “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” thing
It all started with the "orange goo" unidentified eggs in Alaska

8:05 AM Mr. Brown

lol

There was a story of that ?

8:05 AM Mr. Silver
Oh yes...a few

8:09 AM Mr. Silver
Bad day for Mr. Blue to miss. Biblical theme park scandals...chupacabras...Replicant Mr. Brown

8:10 AM Mr. Pink

How was your vacation, Mr. Brown?

8:34 AM Mr. Brown

I would not consider what happened a vacation

Pain is not a vacation

8:36 AM Mr. Silver

It is if you're into that

8:39 AM Mr. Brown

I guess

lol

11:33 AM Mr. Brown

I find it funny that you always get shaved when getting surgery

11:49 AM Mr. Silver

(Barber stropping straight razor) "Little off the abdomen, sir?"

9:22 AM Mr. Silver
This guy doesn't look real...sorta like a puppet:  http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/08/11/ohio-serial-killer-sentenced-to-death/

11:13 AM Mr. Pink

You don’t see too many serial killer stories anymore

11:15 AM Mr. Silver
Guess they got "dull"
"Pft! Guy just uses a plain gun? Pow and done? YAWN! Put a blurb on the "local interest" page. So, you have that front page headline ready about J-LO's underwear?"



12:23 PM Mr. Silver

(Sings)  "Hey macaroni!"

12:26 PM Mr. Silver

OOO!

(Sings) "I'm gonna take a piss on the rose on your grave...ooo! The more I think of you the fuller I feel, yeah..."

12:26 PM Mr. Brown

lol

“I'm gonna take a piss on the rose on your grave...ooo!”

“The thorns are kinda sharp oooo yeaaha ouuch!”

12:28 PM Mr. Silver

heh

12:28 PM Mr. Brown

“Gotta little too close to the rose on your grave.”

12:29 PM Mr. Silver
My favorite song from (Break the) Seal



3:05 PM Mr. Silver
Ever notice the peeps with the cell minutes or batteries running out talk the longest about nothing and waste the most time?

3:05 PM Mr. Brown

yes

Mr. Brown

http://www.kesq.com/news/28826723/detail.html

I say if somebody is mentally ill and they will not always take there medication, lock them up until they do or people will get attacked by crazies with swords

lol

2:12 PM Mr. Silver
(Looks and wonders if it's going to be a crappy wall-hanger katana.)
2:17 PM Mr. Silver
No! "4' long, dual-edged, curved handle"
I'm intrigued, and can't get the needed info

2:19 PM Mr. Brown

And he only hit her foot?

lol

2:25 PM Mr. Silver
Intercepting her Flying Crane Kick, no doubt...
That's a difficult sword description to match in my head
She has to be talking about the guard being curved

2:39 PM Mr. Brown

“I told him I would kick his as at that video game, and I did. Then he came after me with a sword! Should have never got him that for Christmas.”

2:45 PM Mr. Silver
This is my guess

Not the type, I mean that specific sword
The Witch King wall-hanger is too long and Andúril has a cross guard.
2:49 PM Mr. Silver
"He shouted something nerdy like I shall not pass into his room, and then he dropped the sword on my foot when I socked him in the nose."
(cop) “I see...and did he have a stick or something in his other hand, ma'am?”
"How'd you know that?"

Day 65 - Haute Couture Military Equipment, I Mixed Up Alternative Energy In A Blender, And Taking Some Time Off

Mr. Silver
Wow
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/08/entire-u-s-stealth-fighter-fleet-grounded/
7:50 AM Mr. Silver
Yay! Half a billion on planes that aren't successful in testing yet!

7:51 AM Mr. Pink

Haha, flawless victory

#1..."hand protection deemed unnecessary"
12:49 PM Mr. Silver
"Um...where are the gloves?" 
“No gloves, soldier." 
"Why?"
“Project was over budget." 
"Can I wear my own gloves?" 
“Hell no!  Not in my Army, sissy boy!"

12:51 PM Mr. Pink

Haha

Is that because they figure if a bomb goes off, your hands are a goner?

12:53 PM Mr. Silver
I was thinking it was a precision handling trade-off
At least for PR anyway.
12:56 PM Mr. Silver
"Can't defuse a bomb without precise finger control, you know." 
"Yes...I'll admit that...but this way the fingers only really get the one try." 

12:56 PM Mr. Blue

Pic #10

Heavily armed flight attendants

1:03 PM Mr. Silver
Looks like an anime setup for something screwy or dirty...or both
#2...I've heard the French don't bathe, but that's a rather extreme proof. 
1:25 PM Mr. Silver
The #3 writeup is great

1:27 PM Mr. Blue

Can’t see a few of them for some reason

1:27 PM Mr. Silver
Hmmm.
1:29 PM Mr. Silver
Well, basically after 2 projects and uncertain billions of project dollars, they put the project on hold: "Maybe it has something to do with the fact that smartphones can do everything the eight pound Nett Warrior could. "

1:29 PM Mr. Blue

I mean the pictures… I can't see the pictures of the Gadahfi ladies or Iran's women police

That’s honestly pretty bad ass though

Who wouldn't want to be followed around by a harem of hot Arabian ladies packing major heat?

Better than a sausage fest

1:30 PM Mr. Silver
#4 – Oh Gagahfi!  Your ensemble is FAAAB-U-LOUSSS!

1:31 PM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Guard or these jokers

Their greatest defense is being absolutely hilarious looking

1:34 PM Mr. Pink

You should dress up like that for Halloween

1:39 PM Mr. Blue

I might

1:42 PM Mr. Silver
Could always do Greek.

"They wear that to fight?  Heck NO I'm not messing with them."

1:43 PM Mr. Blue

They look like female oompa loompas

1:43 PM Mr. Silver
There's a certain confidence implied. 
"Go ahead...comment on the back knee tassles...I...dare...you..."
The India/Pakistan elite troops were rather fab too, as I recall.

1:45 PM Mr. Blue

Yeah, with the oriental fans on their head

1:47 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah

1:51 PM Mr. Blue

“In July 2010, as part of a move initiated by India, both countries agreed to tone down the aggressiveness exhibited by soldiers during the gate closing ceremony because the soldiers hurt their feet and knees performing the goose-stepping every day.”

"Jebus, what are they?  RUN!!!"

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

silly

3:22 PM Mr. Silver
Note – The homemade peanut butter I last made is a potential new fuel supply for planet Earth.
Or for systemic correction of the methane balances of the Jovian planets.

Mr. Green

Hey guys, I'm bailing. I took an hour of vacation. I'm beat. After the initial adrenaline rush wore off, I’ve been going downhill. Talk to you tomorrow.

2:41 PM Mr. Yellow

Wish I could bail, I am tired as well

3:04 PM Mr. Silver
I'm tired too...permanent bailing sounds good.
"I'm calling off for the next 50-60 years.”

3:16 PM Mr. Yellow

lol

Day 64 - Obfuscatus Magistus, Praying For The End Of Time, The Winds Of Filk, Mr. Brown Has Nine Lives, And Failure Is A Fairly Good Option

 Mr. Yellow

Everyone was away yesterday

9:02 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Gray is apparently not here still.
I didn't attempt to get a visual this morning.

9:04 AM Mr. Yellow

*nod*

9:09 AM Mr. Silver
(Me in khaki clothes and pith helmet with fake English accent) "...And I believe, if we are cautious, we may get a clear view of the elusive Grey Mister... Obfuscatus Magistus.

9:11 AM Mr. Yellow

Shhh. Now we need to be very quiet the Obfucatus Magistus is a very skittish beast, and if it senses our presence we may not get a clear view of this fascinating creature.

Mr. Silver
Bleh

7:16 AM Mr. Pink

Another day in paradise

7:16 AM Mr. Silver
Heaven lasts for eternity

7:16 AM Mr. Pink

Haha

Mr. Pink

I love this song

Who sings this?

8:04 AM Mr. Silver
Guessed Scorpions...was right

8:04 AM Mr. Pink

Oh ya

8:05 AM Mr. Silver
Morning

8:05 AM Mr. Blue

Mo'nin'

8:05 AM Mr. Apple

Morning

8:07 AM Mr. Pink

I think it's something like "Winds of Change"

8:08 AM Mr. Blue

What?

8:10 AM Mr. Pink

The song that was just on

8:11 AM Mr. Silver
It is “Winds of Change”

8:12 AM Mr. Blue

It's called "Creep" by TLC

8:12 AM Mr. Pink

Isn’t Creep a cover song?

8:13 AM Mr. Blue

No

8:14 AM Mr. Silver
Well, this is “Creep”...the song now 3 songs ago was “Winds of Change”

8:15 AM Mr. Blue

<being difficult

^being difficult

8:15 AM Mr. Silver
>bd

8:15 AM Mr. Pink

Mr. Blue, don’t go chasing waterfalls

8:15 AM Mr. Blue

I ain't too proud to beg

8:16 AM Mr. Silver

Stick to the puddles, rivulets, and estuaries you are accustomed to

8:16 AM Mr. Blue

Swedish version is "Just stick to the lochs and the fjords that you're used to"

8:22 AM Mr. Silver

West Africa - "Please stick to the wadis and waterholes where all the game is."

8:30 AM Mr. Blue

Pittsburgh- "Please stick to the rivers n' cricks that yinz is used to."

8:46 AM Mr. Blue

So how's everybody's Willennium going?

8:49 AM Mr. Pink

Great! Getting jiggy wit it

10:27 AM Mr. Silver

(sings) "You don't wanna wait...for your life to be over...."

 
Mr. Silver
(Sings) "Where is my Mar-lyn Monroe?  Where is my busty blonde?  Where is my happy ending?  Where have all the hotties gone?"

 2:17 PM Mr. Blue

I remember a lot of parodies of this song (“Barbie Girl” – Mr. Silver)

Which is silly, since this song by itself is a parody

2:19 PM Mr. Silver
Bigger fan of this particular performance of Lene.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrtDkzltf0Y

10:22 AM Mr. Pink

Wheres Mr. Brown?

10:22 AM Mr. Blue

Appendicitis

Mr. Silver

Probably hatching his Xenomorph right about now.

10:25 AM Mr. Silver

I saw him Friday...hobbling weakly to his car, hunched over at Target

10:26 AM Mr. Blue

So he can go shopping but he can't work

10:33 AM Mr. Silver

Mr. Brown "I have 3 holes in my gut now."

On that note, lunchtime.

Mr. Pink

What causes that?

10:49 AM Mr. Blue

Appendicitis? An inflammation of the appendix

10:57 AM Mr. Pink

Mr. Brown always has crap like this happen to him

Remember when he turned green?

Mr. Blue

Speaking of losers: http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/08/09/nyad.103.mile.swim/index.html

1:49 PM Mr. Silver
Bah! I could fail that swim with both hands tied behind my back! Why'd she wait so long?
2:01 PM Mr. Silver
Oddly enough, I'd do relatively just as well with my "Longjump to Pluto" scheme.
2:03 PM Mr. Silver
And the "Eating to the Center of Earth's Core" idea.
