Day 84 - The Perils Of Lack Of Alcohol, Channeling Governor, Triple AAAGH!!!, The Way To A Man's Soul Too, A Torrent Of Vintage Piracy, And What's "Rule 34" In Japanese?

7:24 AM Mr. Gray
Ugh...feel like crap today
I think its cause I didn’t drink last night, heh.
Silly me; alcohol level is too low
7:26 AM Mr. Silver
Your alcohol level was tested at 99.8% blood.
7:26 AM Mr. Gray
Yeah...can't have that crap!
Heh
7:27 AM Mr. Silver
Winehouse's dad thinks the alcohol detox killed her.
7:30 AM Mr. Gray
See!!!
With how I feel....I can believe it.



(The following section is fantasy gamer geek stuff that largely revolves around me getting into character as “Governor”, a gnome inventor who traveled back in time via a time gate he doesn't know exactly how to work, to the wrong date and place, trying to meet his god and fix his mistakes...many many many times. He's brilliant but completely scatterbrained, and as a result of his many incarnations and self-encounters, and the resulting “time-madness”, can show up nearly anytime/place and remember things that “never happened” or happened differently than the last time he was “there”. He's prodigiously powerful, quite strange, extremely dangerous, usually funny, and somewhat tragic. He needs to be in a book. If you don't care, scroll on past. – Mr. Silver.)
9:26 AM Mr. Silver
Well...that gets us to about 9:30...now what?
9:28 AM Mr. Yellow
Well from what was said yesterday I think we need to save Mystra to keep Renwick alive
9:29 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Good luck with that. Might want to find another option.
Bind him to something else instead of the Weave.
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
"That should be easy. Let me do some figures." - Governor
9:29 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Governor trying to get to where a god is again...oh brother...
9:30 AM Mr. Silver
I imagine the consequences to be so appalling that you'd consider destroying Mystra yourself.
9:31 AM Mr. Gray
Heck, Governor being involved could be why she died! LMAO
9:31 AM Mr. Silver
"Bind Mystra to something other than The Weave? Oh is that all? I've made a study of that. Here, take this impeller. Don't push any of the red buttons."
"They're all red."
"Are they? Ah...yes."
9:31 AM Mr. Yellow
I am a “save the damsel in distress” kind of guy, so saving Mystra sounds like a solid plan.
9:32 AM Mr. Gray
Solid plan + unstable gnome = ?
9:32 AM Mr. Yellow
What could be better?
9:32 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Definitely an adventure LOL
Hell, let's go get us a kender as well.
9:33 AM Mr. Yellow
Derek likes kenders, they are fun.
I have gained a few interesting items from them. Lost a few as well
9:35 AM Mr. Silver
"He's named Wiffleheffer...but I call him Buttonpusher...I don't remember why exactly. Give him the assembly I marked 'Don't pull this string'."
"What happens if you pull the string?"
"Good question...haven't tried it, it's just an anchor for the matrix."
9:36 AM Mr. Gray
Oh dear god...
LMAO
9:36 AM Mr. Silver
"Is it safe?"
"100%...I swear! Really! … Don't pull it."
9:37 AM Mr. Silver
Does Mr. Yellow know the "Barrel Bomb" story?
9:37 AM Mr. Gray
You do play a great tinker gnome, I cant deny that! LOL
Don't think he does.
9:38 AM Mr. Silver
hehehe
I was absent an episode. Mr. Green, Tom and Scott had to get through a gate in the Shadow plane guarded by these awful giant humanoids.
So they asked if Governor had anything to take them out with.
"Sure!"
They set it off the bomb and everything in the radius just vanished.
When I came back they reported the target destroyed and asked what I'd given them.
"Oh, they aren't destroyed...they'll come back."
"When?"
"No idea."
"...Where?"
"Not sure really...somewhere around where they left I think. It really was an interesting experiment. They always told me not to try it. I'm glad you were smart enough to stay far enough away."
"Try what?"
"Oh, that thing about Portable Holes and Bags of Holding. I knew I could handle it."
9:46 AM Mr. Gray
The look on Mr. Green's face was great when he realized just how close he had come to being sucked into god-knows-where.
9:46 AM Mr. Silver
"The barrel was set up to drop a tiny Portable Hole into a little Bag of Holding.  Fascinating, huh?  So how far did you have to stand back?  I never finished the calculations on that.  Kind of an amateur with the dimensional stuff."
"I still have a lot of the Holes left."
"Not sure where all I put them though...not my Bag of Holding obviously."
"So disorganized. Eh, I'll run across them."
9:49 AM Mr. Yellow
Great idea!
9:49 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
9:49 AM Mr. Yellow
Did Governor design the ski lift Derek had built on the halfling planet of Anidia?
There are some really fun mishaps that can happen with that.
10:20 AM Mr. Silver
Was it irresponsible?
10:22 AM Mr. Yellow
Well he had a group of Tinker gnomes build it. It sometimes launches people off when it gets to the top of the hill, shooting them off the other side of the mountain or into some trees.  Other times it speeds up so fast that it becomes more of an amusement ride, with the force holding the riders in their seats.
It is powered by an artifact furnace. There are other issues as well. Hell, it even works as intended from time to time, lol!
10:24 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:26 AM Mr. Yellow
He had nets installed to catch the flying halflings.
10:28 AM Mr. Silver
Sounds like Governor
...and operators not following my clear instructions.”
"You didn't give any instructions."
10:28 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:28 AM Mr. Silver
"Oh...I didn't? Well it's lever controlled obviously...just don't move it into the 20 or 30 range."
"There's no numbers!"
"Oh."
"Why is there a 20+ at all on it?"
"You've GOTTA have 20 thru 40!  Don't be silly!"
10:31 AM Mr. Yellow
LOL
10:53 AM Mr. Yellow
Ok, well then I guess we have to save Mystra.
11:14 AM Mr. Silver
"So I have an idea about this Weave thing.”
I did some experimenting and calculations...”
Stop saying “No” all the time! Wait till I'm done explaining!”
Anyway try this on...instead of The Weave, I can make it "The Felt".  And it's easy too...I have it all rigged in my room in the inn, ready to go. I left a kid to guard the switch."
11:16 AM Mr. Yellow
See, Derek would listen to the whole explanation, then ask serious questions and listen to the answers while the rest of the group would try and stop us talking, lol!
11:36 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Oh I can see how this is gonna go.
11:52 AM Mr. Silver
Eh...if it doesn't work he'll just use the Timegate to fix it...same as always.
11:52 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
11:53 AM Mr. Gray
Cause after all, its worked so well in the past.
12:46 PM Mr. Silver
"150' tall (to scale) battle robot!"
12:48 PM Mr. Silver
heheh
(Shouting down to the ground from dirigible)
"Mr. Clanky! (Governor's robot servant – Mr. Silver) Am I home?"
(Mr. Clanky looks up, confused, hoots and whistles)
"No, not me...I'm up here! Am I at home? In the the house?"
(Mr. Clanky looks confused, hoots and whistles)
"Hmm...I'm not home. I must have left."
12:50 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
1:02 PM Mr. Yellow
Yes, I think The Gov and Derek will get along fine.
Derek's main home is on a rock that floats through space.
The roof is made out of Glass Steel, offering a great view of space
The Gov want a gnomish spelljammer?
1:06 PM Mr. Silver
"One of these days I'm going to supe up the elemental drives on this rock of yours, Derek."
"It doesn't have elemental drives on it."
"(Wink) I couldn't sleep last night. The key is not to make 'em angry. Wanna see the controls?"
1:08 PM Mr. Gray
Scary...
1:09 PM Mr. Yellow
lol
I do not own the rock Gov. I just live there in the city. I also support the rock militarily since it is my home and I own a bigger fleet than they do.”
1:19 PM Mr. Silver
"What good is a rock in space if you can't move it around? Should I have asked? Eh...they won't mind."
1:25 PM Mr. Yellow
Actually, if I remember right, it can be moved.”
1:26 PM Mr. Silver
"These would be your personal controls.”



Mr. Blue

2:18 PM Mr. Silver
That is weirdly amusing as long as you don't think about it.
2:19 PM Mr. Blue
"In Soviet Russia, first-responders injure you!"
2:20 PM Mr. Silver
"No car insurance, eh!?!"
2:23 PM Mr. Gray
LOL



10:39 AM Mr. Silver
10:42 AM Mr. Silver
I can see a whole campaign of small tract leaflets on that theme.
Some baptist church sneaked one into my mailbox yesterday.
"Are you SURE you're going to Heaven?"
me "Well I'm SURE this isn't an express ticket there, so..." (trash)
10:44 AM Mr. Apple
lol
10:44 AM Mr. Blue
Filthy baptists!
10:45 AM Mr. Silver
"I'm more SURE I'm going than anyone whose idea of evangelism is mass-produced tracts stuck into mailboxes."



12:16 PM Mr. Blue
I would never illegally download, like, popular recently released films
Those are the ones that are probably going to get you flagged for a lawsuit.
But I doubt that my cache of obscure Italian B-movies is going to cause much of a fuss when I seed them on torrents.
But if you downloaded Inception, Transformers 2, Eat Pray Love and Captain America in the past month.. yeah, you might get boned.
12:19 PM Mr. Silver
"Yeah You Might Get Boned" Who stars in that?
12:19 PM Mr. Pink
haha
12:52 PM Mr. Apple
So if you avoid the bittorrents I guess your a bit safer?
12:52 PM Mr. Silver
A bit torrent safer, yes.
1:06 PM Mr. Pink
Mr. Apple, you might be getting a copyright letter from that “Debbie does Dallas” you got off bittorrent yesterday.
1:06 PM Mr. Blue
hahahah
1:07 PM Mr. Apple
I avoid movie downloads.
1:08 PM Mr. Pink
Just get the old stuff
Lmfao
Full bush style.
1:09 PM Mr. Apple
lol
1:09 PM Mr. Blue
Boobs were different in the 70's
1:09 PM Mr. Silver
The word you were looking for was "real".
1:10 PM Mr. Blue
Pointier, saggier. Even compared to real ones of today.
1:10 PM Mr. Pink
Orangutang style?
1:10 PM Mr. Silver
Gorilla my dreams.
1:10 PM Mr. Blue
hahaha
1:10 PM Mr. Apple
lol
1:12 PM Mr. Pink
So the moral to the story is: If you're gonna d/l copyrighted stuff, connect to your neighbor's WiFi first.



Mr. Blue

Why not try A F*#KING LOOFA??!!
3:55 PM Mr. Silver
Soon to be a new kinky thing in Japan.
3:55 PM Mr. Blue
Rule 34
Eel-in-Eurethra porn
3:55 PM Mr. Pink
Sick
3:55 PM Mr. Blue
With... Hell, why not.. Diapered women
3:56 PM Mr. Silver
Sounds like a winner!

Day 83 - "Peanut Butter And Skunk" Googles Far More Hits Than Expected, and "Bluto The Brick" Googles Far Less

Mr. Blue
In Japan, nothing surprises me.
I was watching some kind of 'invention showcase' Japanese show, and some guy had invented a portable toilet.
It was basically a small litter box and a large garbage bag that fits over top of you so you can just defecate in the middle of the street without anyone really "seeing". He had sold thousands of units already.
10:56 AM Mr. Pink
lol
10:58 AM Mr. Apple
lol
11:01 AM Mr. Pink
I’ve seen vending machines in Japan that sell live crab.
Like little softshell crab.
11:01 AM Mr. Blue
They eat things that are still moving.
11:02 AM Mr. Pink
They have all kinds of crazy KitKat flavors in Japan too.
11:02 AM Mr. Blue
"Peanut Butter and Skunk"
11:02 AM Mr. Pink
LOL! I don’t know about that crazy.
Bubblegum
Apple Vinegar
Soy Sauce
I was going to order a variety pack of them once, but it was like 20 bucks by the time I got to the shipping.
11:13 AM Mr. Apple
I'd try them. lol



Mr. Blue
I saw Bluto has a Facebook. I right away blocked him so he doesn't try to friend me and see all those pictures of him on there!
He seems testy. Neil hid his cookies in a drawer and Bluto FLIPPED and went and told his supe.
3:00 PM Mr. Silver
heh
3:05 PM Mr. Pink
lmfao
Bluto is a beast
Most likely roid rage.
3:06 PM Mr. Blue
Definitely
3:08 PM Mr. Apple
What was the outcome of that?
3:08 PM Mr. Pink
Fatality?
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
Nothing.
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
If anything he only incriminated himself...you can't be eating cookies at your desk all day.
3:09 PM Mr. Pink
There needs to be a new Mortal Kombat movie with him in it.
I loved those movies.
3:09 PM Mr. Apple
They do need to make more of them
Bluto the Brick fatality!
3:12 PM Mr. Pink
Haha!
We need an artist's rendition of that.
What would his special ability be?
3:12 PM Mr. Blue
Something dealing with his Shape-Ups
3:13 PM Mr. Pink
Haha! We need something that inflicts fear into his enemies.
I don't know if Shape-Ups would do that.
3:13 PM Mr. Silver
Perhaps he can auto-stand from a hit like a Weeble then rock back and forth.
3:13 PM Mr. Pink
Good thinking!
3:18 PM Mr. Apple
Balloon animals?
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
Balloonality!!!
3:20 PM Mr. Apple
lol
3:21 PM Mr. Blue
What if he has balloon animals that he throws at you that are filled with some kind of flammable substance that explodes?
And cookies with razor sharp edges, like throwing stars?
3:21 PM Mr. Apple
lol
3:22 PM Mr. Pink
We could sell this to Midway!
3:25 PM Mr. Silver
No no...“Balloonality” like he rips out the opponent's intestines, blows them up and twists, then presents the “balloon animal” before the loser bleeds out and collapses.
3:33 PM Mr. Pink
That is more Mortal Kombat style!

Day 82 - Tactical Wedding Plans, True Blood's New Product: True Braaaaains, And The Best Employee Rewards Program Ever!

3:09 PM Mr. Silver
How've you been, then?
3:09 PM Ms. Amethyst
Miserable
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
Wedding thing rolling along?
3:09 PM Ms. Amethyst
Somewhat.
Hung up on the guest list.
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
People arguing?
30 more than there are spaces for?
3:10 PM Ms. Amethyst
No, I just cant get a final count for invites to save my life.
And I have to order them.
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
"What's this 'picnic seating' thing she has written on the invitations?"
"She told me it means bring a blanket in case you have to sit on the lawn."
3:14 PM Ms. Amethyst
lol
That wont happen with the picnic blanket.
3:17 PM Mr. Silver
Just don't do what my ex-roomie did...bleh.
"Yo everybody! I still have a dozen slots left for my wedding, so first come first serve! Let me know if you're interested."
Roommates for 3 years and I got that.
3:17 PM Ms. Amethyst
Hahaha
Wow
3:17 PM Mr. Silver
I didn't even contact him.
Translation "We want 12 more gifts and checks and don't care who they come from!"
3:22 PM Ms. Amethyst
Wow
3:23 PM Mr. Silver
Heck...I would have taken a stab at "Beat Mongo in a boffer-arena fight to gain entrance" over that crap.
(Actually, that sounds fun.)
3:25 PM Ms. Amethyst
Hahahahahahahahahaha
3:25 PM Mr. Silver
My advice, btw, (and I thought of it too late for mine) is to make sure to invite several rich and famous people.
3:25 PM Ms. Amethyst
LOL I would love to, but..........I don't know any.
3:26 PM Mr. Silver
Well, yes.
So whoever you pick probably won't come.
But they might, which would be cool...small chance.
And if not, they might send a gift...bigger chance.
3:33 PM Mr. Silver
"Sorry I couldn't make it, best wishes, hope this makes up for it, Gwen Stefani...(opens) Bingo! Check for $100 and her solo and No Doubt album collection!"
3:34 PM Ms. Amethyst
lol
I wish.
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Who dares, wins
"Dear Warren Buffet, I heard you had $62 billion and like weddings..."
Try Bill Gates too.
3:37 PM Ms. Amethyst
lol



8:31 AM Mr. Silver
True Blood...glad they didn't shake things up much to start next season...
Hehe
8:33 AM Mr. Silver
Sookie and Tara having their conversation in the kitchen...I don't recall what Tara said but I quipped "Foreshadowing."
Mrs. Silver "What?"
"She's toast."
Still surprised me though.
12:24 PM Mr. Silver
So I figured out the next theme 'o True Blood
12:53 PM Mr. Silver
The answer is "zombies".
There were several clues.
12:55 PM Mr. Gray
I just think its great that Russell is free
12:55 PM Mr. Silver
Hehehe
Woo Yeah!
12:59 PM Mr. Silver
The writers like to give little tells...most do. But
#1 - The entirely unneeded explanation by Arlene that "we're zombies...they're the new vampire" for Halloween.
1:00 PM Mr. Gray
Well, that’s been a common saying the last few years with all the zombie stuff
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
Yes...thus unnecessary.
1:00 PM Mr. Gray
I blew that off honestly.
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
They wanted you to.
1:02 PM Mr. Silver
Lessee...
#2 - A conveniently forgotten demon loose end.
1:02 PM Mr. Silver
#3 – Two(?) full conversations about the veil between living and dead being thin.
#4 - Spirits pulled en mass from the graves.
1:02 PM Mr. Gray
It was Halloween and the explanation for all the people who died over the seasons showing back up.
Think you are hoping for a bit much IMO...but we'll find out.
1:03 PM Mr. Silver
Nod
#5 - Rene the cajun saying Terry's past wasn't going to stay asleep/buried much longer.
#6 - Tara and Jesus both commenting they were going to be around a long time.
#7 – Marnie commenting about the living dead being trapped on earth.
That's all I can recall off the cuff. So yeah...we'll see, but that's my guess.
1:18 PM Mr. Gray
Eh I'm betting on more ghost stuff
and the past staying dead...well, Terry came back all messed up....so think that skeleton is about to jump out of the closet and bite him.
1:29 PM Mr. Silver
Apparently folks are ticked with this particular finale.
1:30 PM Mr. Gray
How come?
1:34 PM Mr. Silver
Well they were ticked Lafayette survived season one since he died in the books.
Now they're ticked Tara is dead since she didn't die in the books
1:43 PM Mr. Silver
And Jason...Jason didn't change into a panther.
Peeps were irritated by that too.
1:48 PM Mr. Silver
I was more irritated by them deciding to retro-write his were-girlfriend to an inbred hick with a 70 IQ and thinking I wouldn't notice.
(as she was really cute)
2:13 PM Mr. Gray
Yeah, I thought she was cool and that was going to be a positive story with Jason for once...nope...same crap.
Though ironic that HE felt like a piece of meat
LOL



3:37 PM Mr. Silver
Cleanin' up and heading home.
3:38 PM Mr. Gray
Messy boy!
3:38 PM Mr. Yellow
Well, make sure she does not come out from under the desk till after you leave.
3:38 PM Mr. Silver
Hehe
3:39 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:40 PM Mr. Silver
"Dear staff,
You worked especially hard during the recent hurricane and some of you have expressed boredom with the usual pizza party days, so this time we came up with something you can enjoy at your cubes that we're sure you'll all like."
3:40 PM Mr. Yellow
Woo hoo!
