Mr. Silver

http://news.yahoo.com/voice-darth-vader-swears-ny-sheriff-friend-162541510.html

"Do not disappoint me, Sheriff Anderson." 

(choking noises in background...thump)

"Yes Lord Vader!"

1:57 PM Mr. Gray

Hehe

1:58 PM Mr. Yellow

LOL

1:59 PM Mr. Silver

I can just see Vader using this promotion scheme with any old damned thing...

New manager at McDonalds...

TA to Professor at a college…

"You allowed the chocolate Magic-Kote to freeze on the ice cream before sprinkling on the nuts for the last time." 

(throttle throttle) 

"Lord Vader...it's just a Dairy Queen treat...please!"

2:00 PM Mr. Green

LOL

2:04 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

2:16 PM Mr. Silver

"You brought me a cake on my birthday in front of everyone in the restaurant, headwaiter." 

"Well...Your friends here felt that the element of surprise- (grabs at throat)" 

"You are a fool and an incompetent.  You...Busboy..." 

"Yes Lord Vader!" 

(throttle…throttle…)

"Remove the cake, the singers, and the novelty cowboy hat from my helmet. And then bring me my steak...Headwaiter."

(throttle…thump) 

"Yes Lord Vader!" 

2:24 PM Mr. Silver

(last one...wanted something for the 'element of surprise' excuse.)

Mr. Yellow

Ahh, some “Die With Your Boots On”

Iron Maiden

That is the way to play D&D. If you're going to die, die with your boots on. Not hiding in the corner leaving the rest of the party that is trying to save the world fight alone to get killed.

2:51 PM Mr. Silver

Heh...We should play an "Actual human behavior" D&D game. 

(Dungeon Master) "Lunging out of the darkness is a fearsome 8' tall humanoid.  Brown skin, ugly features, all in ringmail with a big axe, bellowing at you!" 

"I run"

"Me too"

"Yep"

"I hide behind that big rock I hid behind earlier."

(Dungeon Master) "Ok.  I'll want a Will save versus screaming, and a Fortitude versus wetting yourselves."

2:59 PM Mr. Yellow

lol

 

Mr. Blue

https://www.orderforeverlazy.com/?tag=im|sm|go|tm&a_aid=011&a_bid=534434b0

WTF?

It even has a hatch so you can leave it on while going to the bathroom.

2:01 PM Mr. Blue

Strike that - it appears too small.

2:29 PM Mr. Silver

"Deep pockets for full 5ths of cheap alcohol and boxes of donuts to enjoy while crying in the dark."

2:49 PM Mr. Silver

Why a double pull front zipper?

For a human game of 'Operation'?

Zip up to expose the belly, but trap the neck...optional stick-on playing pieces...and safety razor blades!

2:53 PM Mr. Blue

"But that's not all! Order now and we'll include a gun and one bullet, free!"

 

Mr. Silver

Every time I decide no one cares about the stupid blog and I'm going to quit, I get about 16 visits.

7:11 AM Mr. Green

Heheh.

7:42 AM Mr. Silver

So now I have a backlog of stuff to edit instead of pitching it.

I'd almost resolved to just dump the blog after two posts and an equal # of lookers. 

Then WHAM!

Sigh.

So I posted, and as of this morning got one blip again.

12:24 PM Mr. Brown

Megan Fox

12:24 PM Mr. Silver

How did you know it was her?

12:25 PM Mr. Brown

Miley Sirus

12:25 PM Mr. Silver

I got 5-8(?) from Lithuania out of the blue in the past 2 weeks.

12:25 PM Mr. Brown

Borgon Shugorgon

I'm putting in stuff to try to get accidental hits.

I wonder why we keep getting foreign people hitting it?

12:27 PM Mr. Blue

Lithuania?  They have internet there?

Maybe the foreign traffic has something to do with Mr. Brown's spelling.

A Lithuanian person might actually think Miley Cyrus is spelled "Sirus".

12:28 PM Mr. Silver

Nah...I fix all that stuff unless it's funny.

12:28 PM Mr. Brown

LOL

12:29 PM Mr. Blue

I’m not sure what you attempted with Borgon Shugorgon.

12:35 PM Mr. Silver

I was thinking it was a fusion-cuisine appetizer.

Like a shumai dumpling, stuffed with Boeuf Bourguignon and Gorgonzola cheese.

12:46 PM Mr. Brown

Well it doesn't get any search results online, so I guess I made it up.

LOL

12:49 PM Mr. Silver

You did, yes

Fame and linguistic immortality is now yours.

12:51 PM Mr. Brown

Sweet sassy molassy!

Mr. Brown

My father in-law keeps saying that we are all just an experiment.

9:33 AM Mr. Silver

I kind of agree. I've discussed this with Mr. Blue many times.

Having had some...'differentiated personalities'...in my psychological past, I'm fairly free with holding multiple viewpoints of the "world".

The main one doesn't believe this world is even the real one.

This is pre-”Matrix” thinking, incidentally...I developed my philosophies myself, starting in the early 80s; I didn't pick this up from someone else.

There were clues of unreality all over.

There were obvious logical conclusions.

We are in a school...or playing a game...and none of this is actually real.

9:38 AM Mr. Brown

So when we die here, we actually do go somewhere else.

9:38 AM Mr. Silver

We are characters and have players at a higher level. We, the real “we”, already are somewhere else.

9:38 AM Mr. Brown

Right.

9:39 AM Mr. Silver

I'm not sure of the exact purpose...throughout history, and in elements of prehistory, the wiser characters suggest we are here to learn...that's why I think this is "school".

9:39 AM Mr. Silver

“Be good or go to Hell/reincarnate” they'd say. “Learn the lessons of this life and be rewarded in 'Eternity'/achieve enlightenment/Nirvana.”

9:40 AM Mr. Silver

Universe, God, Angels, souls and Earth...

The System, the Programmer, the Teachers and Pupils...and us, just the characters in the Classroom.

When your character dies, the session is assessed, you get a grade, and move up or take the class again.

9:45 AM Mr. Silver

Don't get an F!  Don't disrupt the class!  You wouldn't want Detention until you have to come back.  Suspension is worse.  Definitely don't get Expelled!

Anyway...

9:46 AM Mr. Brown

So basically it's like we are immortal.

9:46 AM Mr. Silver

Or differently mortal. How long does this school really take?

9:48 AM Mr. Brown

I kind of believe, after hearing the school/game theory, that the game will just continue to be played.

There will be no reboots in the middle of the game.

9:49 AM Mr. Silver

Eternity is a really long time...

9:49 AM Mr. Silver

Why should it reboot?  There's infinite time in both directions

9:49 AM Mr. Brown

Everybody is wanting to believe that something is going to happen in 2012 in December. A bunch of impossible stuff.

I don't believe in anything happening in December.

9:53 AM Mr. Silver

Well...it'll all happen some 2012 or another.

9:54 AM Mr. Brown

LOL

9:55 AM Mr. Silver

I am, by necessity, a believer in the Multiverse and "time"-traveling.  

     (Which is really just hopping Universes - Mr. Silver)

9:55 AM Mr. Brown

That’s true. They could have been saying it about another time in another version of the universe.

9:57 AM Mr. Silver

Yes. It's all real, sir...somewhere.

9:59 AM Mr. Brown

Maybe that is the day the true Mayans come back to this universe. They marked that as the important date when they will return.

10:02 AM Mr. Silver

Why would they return? 

10:09 AM Mr. Brown

Part of the game?

They figured out how to leave, now they have to return?

Teach us what they learned, where they went, and then we all go.

10:11 AM Mr. Silver

The classic tale: The Ascent to/Return of Heaven and all will be wonderful!

They're just memories of our Players going home when school lets out.

Mr. Brown

Anybody know where I can take my car to get it inspected and things fixed on it?

12:11 PM Mr. Silver

How about a mechanic?

12:19 PM Mr. Brown

No rip-offs.

12:21 PM Mr. Silver

No rip-offs?

This is an auto mechanic you wanted, right?

12:22 PM Mr. Brown

Just not too high-priced, basically.

12:44 PM Mr. Pink

I’m basically a mechanic. Just drop your car off after work and I'll put a new flux capacitor in it for a small fee.

12:44 PM Mr. Brown

LOL
