Day 72 - The American People Want Their Ball Back, What Are You Going To Do With That Salt And Butter!?, (sings) Tater! Tader! T'mater! T'mader! Les Caw Th'ole Thin Owf!, I'd Rather Be Mourning, And The Ham Is Just Going Through A Phase


(Note...busy week, which is why I had to play catchup and post 3 times today. -- Mr. Silver)

7:19 AM Mr. Silver
Bachmann said that Americans fear the rise of the Soviet Union yesterday...
Hasn’t been one for 20 years
She's one of the lead Republican candidates
7:24 AM Mr. Silver
(sigh)
7:28 AM Mr. Green
Yeah, both her and Perry are extreme right-wing creationist wack jobs, which is kinda good. They might get party nomination, but they have no chance of winning a presidential election. Romney is the only guy the GOP has that has any chance of actually becoming president
but half of Republicans don’t like him.
7:30 AM Mr. Silver
It's just alarming the grade of moron that is getting attention this time.  You'd think people would have learned from the damage caused just since the "protest vote" of 2010 put a crowd of even stupider people in Washington than they already had before.
7:36 AM Mr. Green
It's because of the alarming grade of moron that the average American has become
8:03 AM Mr. Silver
Party lines aside, the intelligent people need to band together to oust the oafs and reduce their influence to a natural level - that of stupid little punk kids.
The "Take Our Ball Back" movement.
8:05 AM Mr. Silver
"The playground punk stole America's ball and we want it back."
"He's big and stupid, a bully, steals our lunch money, breaks our stuff, calls us names and should be held back.  But since we can't get him expelled, we can gang up on him, tease him til he cries, runs away, and loses all his friends.  Then we take our ball back!"



Mr. Blue
Last name O'Slavic
"So you're Irish, and Slavic?"
10:14 AM Mr. Silver
Saints and BeSvarog! I be thinkin' ye could use a wee nip o' the vodka, Boy-o.”

Mr. Silver
Only the popcorn in the lower left knows what's coming...
The one up top left merely looks awed, but the bottom one has realized his fate.
10:02 AM Mr. Mauve
He's petrified
The doom is in his plain view, and he alone realizes the terror that awaits.
10:04 AM Ms. Rosebud
Its kinda creepy



Mr. Yellow
A co-worker had his last day at this office today. So some people went in and got a cake made for this morning
He is off to another office where his nick name is “Tater”
10:03 AM Mr. Yellow
They did not get the Ron White reference when he told them to put the lettering on, and they put on “Tader”
10:04 AM Mr. Silver
"Tader"? Hehe
10:04 AM Mr. Yellow
That is the way it sounds when done with a sothern acsent
Yes it is speleld tater but when you hear somone with a sother draw say it sounds like tader
*shrug*
10:05 AM Mr. Silver
You're hurting my brain's language centers, Mr. Yellow.
10:06 AM Mr. Yellow
Just like pen and pin both sound like pin with a sothern draw
10:07 AM Mr. Silver
Southern drawl”
10:07 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes whatever I never clamied I could spell
claimed
gah\




Mr. Pink
The party continues from yesterday.
9:09 AM Ms. Rosebud
You guys sure know how to party...
9:12 AM Mr. Silver
"Not so much a party as a funeral."
"Dunno...I've been to less depressing funerals."
9:14 AM Mr. Pink
Yeah, I think I would rather be at a funeral than here today.
9:16 AM Mr. Mauve
That would depend on whose funeral.
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
A nice wake with a good spread and open bar, or perhaps one of those New Orleans parade things.
9:18 AM Mr. Mauve
See... that sounds quite pleasant, yeah I could agree to that.
9:24 AM Mr. Silver
We'll make a bumper sticker that says "I'd Rather Be Mourning!"
9:31 AM Ms. Rosebud
hahaha
I kinda wanna make that a sign and hang it up in my cube.
9:35 AM Mr. Silver
A real conversation starter; there's no way to figure that out on your own.



Mr. Blue
That World War Z movie is everywhere now.
I find it weird that they're shooting in Glasgow for a scene set in Philadelphia.
One does not look like the other.
10:55 AM Ms. Rosebud
Yeah, I was wondering about that when I was reading the Wikipedia article.
10:56 AM Mr. Blue
Of course I also don't think that Pittsburgh makes for a very good Gotham.
10:59 AM Mr. Silver
Well...Gotham isn't real but Philly is.
I guess Glasgow 2011 looks like Philly 1945
"We predict we'll have inside flushing toilets in 87% of all homes in the city by next year!”
11:00 AM Mr. Mauve
lawl
11:00 AM Mr. Blue
But Gotham is detailed enough in the comics that we can understand what it should look like.
11:01 AM Mr. Silver
Yes...like a ham that dresses all in black and looks gloomy all the time.

Day 71 - Sick Schmick, There Are No Skeletons In The Family Closet...However If You'll Come With Me To The Basement, (Sings) I've Got A Lovely Bunch O' Severed Heads!, What's The Conversion Rate To French Ghouls?, It's Not Non-Work-Related For Clowns, And Deadliest Typing Errors


Mr. Gray
You have 24hrs to recover or I keeeeel you
8:18 AM Mr. Silver
Pshaw...I'm fine
Cold Schmold
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
Better be right *shakes fist at you*
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
Have I looked sick when I’ve come down to say hi?
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
You always look pretty sick to me
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
Beyond the general pallor and ignoring the vultures, I mean.
8:21 AM Mr. Yellow
Cough all over him when you go to visit
8:24 AM Mr. Silver
heh
I'll be fine for the game and he'll be bleary-eyed and slumped on the couch.
More than usual from the rum, I mean.
8:35 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Don’t know what ya mean



9:36 AM Mr. Gray
Want....
Ms. Rosebud
"lies in consecrated soil and rests in peace."
Mr. Silver
"No need to fear the skeleton...not til I'm finished with the animatronics, anyway."
9:44 AM Mr. Yellow
I was thinking the 6 hour ritual on Halloween where you make a pact with the devil
9:44 AM Mr. Silver
Wait until guests are peeking through the window...push the secret button.  "Augh!  He's ALIVE!  RUN!"
9:46 AM Mr. Yellow
Skeleton is too old to be Rasputin
9:47 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
9:57 AM Mr. Silver
"Only rarely invades a sleeper's dreams, begging for blood."
9:59 AM Ms. Rosebud
Hahahah
Ms. Rosebud
Not gonna lie, I kinda want that
10:14 AM Mr. Silver
Well, he is rather handsome.  Needs to work out though...put on some mass.
Mr. Blue
10:23 AM Mr. Silver
Always loved that one.
10:23 AM Ms. Rosebud
Hahah my one friend used to send that to everyone he knew on their birthdays
10:23 AM Mr. Apple
lol
Mr. Yellow
Man that is so funny, I thought I was the only one that was visited by the Birthday Skeleton



Mr. Pink
Did anyone else catch that "head shrinking" special on TV the other day?
11:41 AM Mr. Blue
What was special about it?
11:42 AM Mr. Pink
Just some tribe that did head shrinking. They had video footage from this old tribe, boiling this head.
11:43 AM Mr. Blue
I know how to do it
11:45 AM Mr. Blue
Skin the head, clean it, sew the eyes and lips shut, fill it with sand, boil it
11:46 AM Mr. Pink
The real heads sell for a lot of money
11:47 AM Ms. Rosebud
Well I think I just found my new "get rich quick" scheme
11:47 AM Mr. Apple
lol
11:47 AM Mr. Pink
haha
For some reason its illegal to do it anymore
11:48 AM Ms. Rosebud
All the fun stuff is, and that's why you don't get caught
11:48 AM Mr. Blue
Good luck finding enough people that let you cut their heads off
11:49 AM Mr. Apple
Is it illegal to do that with animals? Make them that way
11:49 AM Mr. Silver
Shrunken animal heads?
11:49 AM Mr. Pink
Hmm not sure
11:49 AM Mr. Silver
"'Not Illegal Yet' brand shrunken animal heads!"
11:49 AM Mr. Pink
lol
11:49 AM Mr. Apple
lol
11:50 AM Ms. Rosebud
haha
11:50 AM Mr. Pink
This could be our key outta here!
11:50 AM Ms. Rosebud
Catchy name.
11:50 AM Mr. Blue
I saw an image gallery online of a guy that stole a skull out of the Paris catacombs and documented the process of getting it through customs and to the USA.
THAT'D be cool
11:51 AM Mr. Pink
Do you still have the link?
11:52 AM Ms. Rosebud
That is sweet
11:57 AM Mr. Blue
The gallery included a picture of him with his boner going into the eye socket of the skull...so no.
11:57 AM Ms. Rosebud
Hahahaha
12:08 PM Mr. Silver
Those wacky necrophiliacs...
"That's just gross..."
"She was French."
"Oh...probably into it then."
12:18 PM Mr. Blue
I think he did it just to "prove" that it was him.  He didn't wanna show his face since he was breaking a zillion laws.
People made requests for him to do things with the skull to prove he didn't just steal someone else's pictures
12:19 PM Ms. Rosebud
I think there would be ways to "prove it" without having sex with it
But that's me
haha
12:19 PM Mr. Blue
lol
12:20 PM Mr. Apple
lol
12:20 PM Mr. Blue
Where's your sense of adventure?
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
Of course, for it to be proof in that manner, everyone he's proving it to would have to be familiar with his winkie.
"I got proof!"
"I don't wanna see it."
12:23 PM Ms. Rosebud
haha Yeah I guess I’m just lame like that
12:23 PM Mr. Blue
He did other things...he was just taking requests
12:24 PM Ms. Rosebud
The guy that asked him to put his junk in the skull is probably the one to watch out for.
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Good point
Rule 34



1:55 PM Mr. Blue
I wonder if LL Cool J has ever done a movie or a TV spot where he didn't show his abs.
Has he ever gone ANYWHERE without lifting his shirt up?
1:57 PM Ms. Rosebud
You're just jealous. Or perhaps you don't lift your shirt up enough
1:58 PM Mr. Blue
I’m more modest about my chiseled 6-pack abs
Which is why I like to keep them under a layer of fat
2:00 PM Ms. Rosebud
hahaha
Perfect hiding place



Mr. Gray
LOL Brad Pitt in "World War Z"
Should be interesting
Been waiting for that movie
"The Glasgow Film Office says the movie involves almost 1,200 people and will pour over 2 million pounds ($3.3 million) into the local economy."
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
Over 2 million pounds of zombies
3:05 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
That’s A LOT of zombies



Mr. Blue
He keeps making these noises
It's like he's making balloon animals
It is both annoying and hilarious
2:29 PM Mr. Apple
lol
2:30 PM Ms. Rosebud
hahaha
Sounds like you got all the winners over there
2:36 PM Mr. Blue
Oh my god, he is!
He's literally making balloon animals
2:38 PM Ms. Rosebud
hahahahah
2:38 PM Mr. Blue
Can you HEAR THIS?
2:38 PM Mr. Silver
Yes
2:38 PM Mr. Apple
I can too
2:39 PM Ms. Rosebud
Wow
2:44 PM Mr. Blue
He made 3 animals
I can't really tell what they are



Mr. Pink
You know what would be funny?
Have you ever seen the “Deadliest Warrior” show on TV?
3:04 PM Mr. Blue
No
3:04 PM Mr. Pink
Well then I guess you wouldn’t find it funny then
3:05 PM Ms. Rosebud
Never watched it, but I know the idea behind it
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
"They're warriors right...and there deadly...right?"
"There such a thing as non-deadly warriors?"
*they're
Can spell for crap today
*CAN'T
3:06 PM Ms. Rosebud
I never can
I type like a drunk 2nd grader
3:07 PM Mr. Silver
Experience or observation?
3:07 PM Ms. Rosebud
hahah No comment
3:08 PM Mr. Pink
lol
3:17 PM Mr. Apple
lol

Day 70 - Mr. Yellow's Coolness Ranking, Fire-Breathing Dragging, Bad Space Art, Apparently Mr. Blue Has No Mind, I Like Lame JOKES and I Cannot Lie!, Obelix Drains His Magic Potion On A Plane, And Strange Sensory Powers


 Mr. Gray

AC is fixed. So can't wait to sleep tonight
Woke up at 3am and couldn’t take it anymore. Tore into it. Found a "reset"
So glad it wasn’t anything more serious
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Speaking of cool...
8:19 AM Mr. Yellow
Good morning gentlemen
8:19 AM Mr. Gray
What does cool have to do with Mr. Yellow?
LOL
Morning
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
Well if Steve McQueen is the King of Cool
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Yellow's at least in the Shire Reeve of Cool area
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
Good point Mr. Silver.
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
Parish Constable of Cool
8:21 AM Mr. Gray
LOL



Mr. Gray
Man today is draggin
12:00 PM Mr. Silver
Great...wyrm...red...draggin
12:00 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
12:07 PM Mr. Silver
(Mrs Great Wyrm Red Dragon) "Oh yeah? Well if you were really that great, there'd be a princess on the dinner table instead of another peasant girl."
"Aww, but honey..."
12:08 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
"And that knight you brought in last week! All that work to get it out of the can and it was just nasty and sweaty inside. Worthless, you are. I should have married that Blue Dragon like my mother told me too!"
12:37 PM Mr. Silver
hehehe



7:42 AM Mr. Silver
Love the bit on size and mass.
7:45 AM Mr. Silver
"Just one teaspoon, once a day, will keep you from feeling hungry forever.  Try it for a week and see how you feel...Neutronium Nuts...the smart way to have breakfast."
7:45 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
Wow that breakfast is sitting heavy in my stomach
So heavy I can't walk



7:59 AM Mr. Silver
8:04 AM Mr. Silver
This is my favorite "BS Artist Rendering" entry in the tag so far (snicker):  http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/08/mars-farming/
I think it might be shopped...
8:07 AM Mr. Mauve
I don't know; it's on the internet, so it HAS to be real.
8:07 AM Mr. Brown
Well there are alien eggs on the tops of those ships. That's not good.
8:07 AM Mr. Silver
"This rendering, submitted by NASA artist's sister's 7 year old, show's what the boy thinks farming on Mars might be like."
8:07 AM Mr. Brown
I was just going to say looks like a kid made it
lol
Daddy taught me photoshop! Look what I made. “
Wow NASA can use that! Thanks honey.”
8:23 AM Mr. Silver



8:18 AM Mr. Mauve
How philosophical is everyone feeling this morning?
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Philosophical mode is always in standby
Whatcha got?
8:25 AM Mr. Mauve
In regards to the philosophy of the mind, are you gentlemen more inclined to support the stance of dualism, monism, or some other viewpoint?
8:27 AM Mr. Mauve
See, I’m not sure where I stand, but i think a healthy look at what other people think, might help me decide... now there's a bunch of dead guys, who spent their whole life arguing one way or another, but I just wanted to see what you guys could come up with.
8:43 AM Mr. Mauve
Basically philosophy of the mind asks what comprises the human mind. Is there a mind-matter separation, or is it all matter working in some degree to comprise thought.
8:44 AM Mr. Silver
Oh this? This is a toy
The real stuff is “outside”.
The "man in God's image" stuff isn't even in this realm.
8:44 AM Mr. Brown
The fact is if we are really not using all of the physical mind. Then it would be hard to comprehend how much of the spiritual mind we are not using
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
I think what we are allowed to think and recall is confined by the rules of the mechanism.
8:52 AM Mr. Silver
It's like playing a game...you are frustrated by a stupid mechanic forcing you to make a jump of 2', and if you miss you hit the water and "drown" (true game example: “Darkened Skye”) and you are screaming "Why can't I just step over there???"
The screamer is your Gros Bon Ange. The guy on the screen is you, here.
8:53 AM Mr. Brown
Kinda like having a thought right on the tip of your tongue by you cannot get it right when you need it.
8:56 AM Mr. Brown
I always run into the situation of a very complex thought that cannot be verbally stated
8:56 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, I get that.
I also discovered that some of the "alien thoughts" I've had are experienced by others. I consider them "hints" this isn't the real world.
#1. The occasional bafflement by a missing "third sex".  Male, female and 'I don't remember'.
#2. "Why am I walking (or driving) when I can just BE there anytime I want?  This is so SLOW!"
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
So you missed out on philosophy this morning, Mr. Blue.
Sorry
10:43 AM Mr. Blue
Oh yeah?
10:44 AM Mr. Silver
There was rather a lot and it got jumbled
10:44 AM Mr. Blue
Anything you'd like me to chime in on?
10:48 AM Mr. Brown
Jake do you think your mind is doing the thinking or your spirit?
10:48 AM Mr. Blue
Define 'spirit'
And show me evidence that there is one.
10:48 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe. See, this would have been good earlier
10:48 AM Mr. Brown
Spirit would be more like an energy kind of thing
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Jebus...I don't even agree with that
10:49 AM Mr. Brown
lol
10:49 AM Mr. Blue
Then call it 'energy' instead of 'spirit'
10:49 AM Mr. Mauve
Whoa... you're getting all scientific on us Mr. Brown... define 'thing'
10:49 AM Mr. Blue
'Spirit' sounds like soul to me, and there's no proof that there is a soul, and no reason to believe there is one
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Try it this way: Is your thought process hardware or software?
10:50 AM Mr. Blue
It's the brain. it's neurons firing in your dome
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
Are you wired a particular way to have your thoughts and decisions. (ROM)
10:50 AM Mr. Blue
Yes
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
Or is your brain merely a general processor and the consciousness is maintained and does the thinking using that processor? Whether the consciousness is internal or external is irrelevant to the question. (RAM)
10:53 AM Mr. Blue
No reason to believe in a spirit or soul in this day and age
10:53 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, but are you RAM or ROM?
Personally I think the pure ROM-ers are silly.
I had that argument in some philosophical class in college once.
"Well, then you're just a blob with no mind then, making noise. I don't talk to machines. Bye."
10:55 AM Mr. Mauve
This was the idea I wanted to explore
10:57 AM Mr. Silver
Bart: “What is the mind? Is it just a system of impulses or is it something tangible?”
Homer: “Relax. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind!”
11:09 AM Mr. Blue
I’m of the school of thought that we don't have as much control over our actions as we like to think we do; possibly no control at all. No free will.
Mr. Blue
(And etc...meanwhile on the other side. - Mr Silver)
11:51 AM Mr. Silver
Sad to say...not much "win" today so far, blog wise
11:51 AM Mr. Blue
Nah
11:52 AM Mr. Silver
I'm not keen on this "bore the hell out of readers" strategy
I might just cut it down to a small section of some good bits and include a link to Monty Python's "Philosopher Song"



11:56 AM Mr. Blue
I remember hearing a lot of Sir Mix-a-Lot here at one time.
"My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon." reeks of professionalism.
12:05 PM Mr. Blue
"You can do side-bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt." - Nietzsche
12:06 PM Mr. Silver
Good t-shirt
Perhaps with a picture of Mark Twain
12:09 PM Mr. Blue
Indeed. How about:
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Jesus (Mark 22:14)
With a picture of Mohammad
12:10 PM Mr. Silver
"((Girl + (Itty bitty waist))* V) + ((2Pi*(R sqr) * thing) tan (your face)) = Sprung" - Einstein
12:12 PM Mr. Mauve
/me is not entertained
12:13 PM Mr. Blue
I am, and that's all that matters
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
As a standup comic, Mr. Blue would be all about making himself laugh on stage.
12:14 PM Mr. Mauve
Sounds awesome!
12:15 PM Mr. Blue
I can't be bothered trying to make OTHERS laugh
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
(Mr. Blue) "I thought of this joke once about a rabbit and an electrician...hilarious! I couldn't breathe! Still KILLS me! HAHAHA! ... Then there was this movie I watched once about this fisherman dude? Man! I had to pause it a bunch of times! HAHAHA!"



12:37 PM Mr. Brown
12:37 PM Mr. Blue
^That's what got me started on Asterix and Obelix, Mr. Silver.
(Irrelevant side conversation about A&O films. Nothing worth repeating in it. – Mr. Silver)
That guy looks like a big fat idiot.

http://imgur.com/gallery/1fN8R  hey Mr. Silver, why wouldn't this work?
1:45 PM Mr. Silver
What...a magnetic drive like that?
1:47 PM Mr. Silver
The attraction is only between the magnets...you'd have to propel the first magnet forward with more mass than the vehicle itself.
1:43 PM Mr. Mauve
What would life be like... if we smelled in colors?
1:43 PM Mr. Blue
What, you don't?
1:43 PM Mr. Mauve
Considering I’m wearing brown, I’m glad I don't
1:45 PM Mr. Silver
You wouldn't comprehend a difference, of course
1:48 PM Mr. Mauve
How about those savants that see the world in shapes and numbers... that's something that's interesting.
1:53 PM Mr. Pink
Did you see that special with that girl that could taste sounds?
1:54 PM Mr. Blue
And there was that guy that could control his body temperature to the extent that he ran a 5 k in Alaska in the winter time with no shoes or socks on
1:56 PM Mr. Silver
Cool!
...or warm.
