8:26 AM Mr. Mustard
I got a request from "Tom and Jerry's Medical Products".
8:48 AM Mr. Silver
I believe I consulted for them before.
8:55 AM Mr. Silver
I always picture their anesthesia section having things like frying pans and croquet mallets in it.



12:48 PM Mr. Mustard

Does the term  “Hog-Tied and Blindfolded" sound relevant ?
12:49 PM Mr. Silver
Is there a spit and fire involved?
12:49 PM Mr. Mustard
Of course - Long Pork
I guess midgets are 'a side of long pork'
12:51 PM Mr. Silver
"Short Pork"
12:51 PM Mr. Mustard
Ah.



8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Got your invitation; it looks nice.
8:20 AM Ms. Amethyst
Thanks!
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
I'm going to have to figure out what to wear.
Saw the notice: "Adult Reception to Follow" 
"Hey Mrs. Silver...adult reception to follow...ORGY!"
"Woooo!"
8:23 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol



Mr. Silver
"Pentagon Asks Publisher For $140 Billion For Next Installment In Speculative Fiction Series."

Mr. Brown
Wow, driving on a known road this morning was hard.
8:23 AM Ms. Amethyst
Yeah, driving in sucked badly.
8:24 AM Mr. Silver
Jogging through the fog in the dark was fun...very Halloween.
"Hey, I’ve seen this movie... … aw crap!"
8:26 AM Mr. Brown
I’m not going to shoot you.
lol
8:26 AM Ms. Amethyst
Me either.
8:26 AM Mr. Brown
The end of that movie sucked.
8:26 AM Ms. Amethyst
Hardcore.
(Note – I have no idea what movie they're talking about.  If you do, enjoy. – Mr. Silver)



Mr. Brown
I love one-song hold music.
lol
10:15 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
10:16 AM Mr. Silver
I love fake-song hold music on a loop.
10:19 AM Mr. Silver
"You're a composer, right?" 
Yes."
"I'd like to have you write about 15 bars of meandering tones on largely unidentifiable computerized instruments that I can repeat over and over." 
"Great...that'll accelerate my suicidal thoughts over my wasted talents by a day.  You got cash and a couple hours?"



Mr. Blue

10:41 AM Mr. Silver
Because there are no pressing issues in the USA at this time.
And they only have a few weeks left before the session ends.
10:41 AM Mr. Blue
Starts around 1:45
He's basically wasted.
11:00 AM Mr. Silver
They wouldn't let him quit...so he trumped his team, eh?
11:02 AM Mr. Blue
I’ve not seen someone crash and burn since Dean did that "YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAYHHH!!" cheer.
11:20 AM Mr. Brown
He acts like he is “roasting” someone.

Seems like he is having fun.
I love surup!“
11:42 AM Mr. Silver
What’s surup?
11:42 AM Mr. Blue
I think he thought it was whiskey.
11:42 AM Mr. Brown
lol
11:43 AM Mr. Silver
I should have watched it at home.  Watched CNN talk about Cain instead, and his promoting the idea of a conspiracy against him.
"But you knew about it 10 days before it broke but claimed not to know about it." 
"Well...yeah, but..." 
"And the conspiracy apparently involves you being blamed for things that it seems apparent you actually did.  Was the part with you doing the things part of the conspiracy?" 
"Uh...liberal media...all I gotta say."
Whatever...”
11:46 AM Mr. Blue
"Also, Mr. Cain, we have video of you at an office party pawing at the genitals of one of your co-workers."
"Liberal media…"
11:46 AM Mr. Silver
I never did understand such plays.
11:46 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah I did it.  But don't hold it against me.  My competitors are just getting dirty.”
11:47 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
I’m guilty, but why would opponents think it's okay to find out and mention it?  Letting people know facts about me is a conspiracy, I say!”
11:48 AM Mr. Brown
That’s why we can never appoint a good leader: we look at the petty things and say “Oh, he is stupid, I'm not voting for him.”
lol
11:48 AM Mr. Silver
Nobody very good ever runs. They're all doing better things.
11:49 AM Mr. Blue
Only a lunatic or a patsy would want to be president of the US.
11:50 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
12:06 PM Mr. Silver
Announcing your run for office should be an immediate disqualification.
The good ones are going to go kicking and screaming.



Mr. Silver
So over the weekend I saw that both "Let the Right One In" and "Let Me In" were on.
Mrs. Silver got through 1 minute of subtitles, declared herself too tired, and we switched to the American remake.
12:16 PM Mr. Blue
I haven’t seen the American one. The Swedish one has a higher rating on IMDB… if that means anything.
12:20 PM Mr. Silver
It means its "The original" and its "Not tinkered with for slow Americans".
12:29 PM Mr. Silver
For instance, the original starts with the kid in his room watching her arrive.
The American version starts with the guy in the hospital.
We wouldn't want to have an American audience be stuck trying to figure out the story as it progressed, right?
12:41 PM Mr. Silver
If “The Wizard of Oz” was a French film first, the American remake would have started with Dorothy being taught how to use the slippers and coming home...then as the screen spins it would have said "3 weeks earlier" and proceeded normally.
Mr. Silver
Mrs. Silver didn't finish...went to bed.
"How was it?" 
"Miserable...it was very good."
"Hmm?"
"It was a tragedy...things worked out after a fashion, but being a vampire 'kid' is just awful."
"Did she help him with the bullies?"
"She tore them to pieces."
"Good.  G'night.  Zzzz."
1:47 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
1:53 PM Mr. Yellow
LOL



Mr. Brown
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_(serial)
1:58 PM Mr. Silver
"The serial sees Captain America, really District Attorney Grant Gardner, trying to thwart the plans of The Scarab, really museum curator Dr. Cyrus Maldor - especially regarding his attempts to acquire the "Dynamic Vibrator" "
Oh my...so it's a self-adjusting sex toy, eh?
Grant (tough as rock) Gardner (but good man of the earth)...is Captain America.
Versus Cyrus (Serious) Maldor (Malice-Doer)!
Good names.
See!  ...Cap win with help from Rock Hardthrust against Baron Von Badham!
See!  ...Fierce fighting against the forces of The Blackness Brigade!
See!  ...Purity Thirddate turn Cap's hypnotism-induced seduction attempts aside!
2:27 PM Mr. Brown
lol
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
Apparently it was well reviewed by everyone but the owners of Captain America's license.



Mr. Yellow
I decided to take some life insurance out on the wife.
9:23 AM Mr. Silver
...and compare prices on rat poisons...
9:23 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
9:32 AM Mr. Green
Rat poison is too easy to pick up in a toxicology report.  Insulin is the way to go.
9:32 AM Mr. Gray
The man has been planning.
9:33 AM Mr. Green
Mrs. Green watches those murder shows all the time.
9:34 AM Mr. Yellow
lol
No, with Mrs. Yellow getting involved in other people's drama she could end up shot by the crazy neighbor or his family.
9:42 AM Mr. Silver
You forgot the quotes on that last part: She could end up shot by "the crazy neighbor or his family".



12:54 PM Mr. Yellow

Avada Kedavra *waves wand*
My kids were running around the house yelling Avada Kedavra, waving Harry Potter wands at each other.
12:56 PM Mr. Silver
Glad they haven't been to wizard school yet.  That must be the wizarding world equivalent of kids running around making gun noises playing "War".
12:57 PM Mr. Yellow
True
