Day 146 - "Is The Dark Bun Stronger?" "No! Cooler Tastier More Food-Colored", The Main Lesson Of 'Avatar' Is You Should Pay Your Soldiers' Hospital Bills, In The Dark All Cords Are Black, "For 10 Points What Do Noah & Santa Claus & St. Patrick Have In Common?", And "Crazy Little Thing Called Death"

Mr. Silver
8:13 AM Mr. Brown
Sweet!
8:13 AM Mr. Silver
And the best part?  Darth Vader isn't in Phantom Menace but no one cares.
8:15 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah I know.  Just Anakin.
LOL
8:19 AM Mr. Gray
Yeah but to call it an Anakin Burger it would have to be soft, leave a bad taste in your mouth, and be too small for the burger "role".
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
"Comes dry and spice free, but with two slices of bland cheese!"
"It'll make you say 'whoopie' or 'whee' or whatever the kid said."
8:20 AM Mr. Brown
They could have just called it a Sith Burger.
8:43 AM Mr. Silver
I don't think the French will take being told to "Eat Sith" lying down.
They should have made a long chicken sandwich, dyed it pink, and called it a “Gungan Tongue-an”.
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
No?



9:00 AM Mr. Silver
So where were you hiding, Mr. Blue?
9:00 AM Mr. Blue
Sick day.
9:03 AM Mr. Blue
I got some laundry done and watched "Avatar".
9:04 AM Mr. Silver
Mrs. Silver and I never finished “Avatar”.
9:05 AM Mr. Blue
It kept me interested for the full 3 hours, something LOTR never could.
9:06 AM Mr. Silver
I think we just started too late.  Mrs. Silver just started passing out.  We stopped it and never got back.  Did they show the part at the end where the guy gets executed for treason?  Just wondering.
9:08 AM Mr. Blue
No.  Which guy?
9:09 AM Mr. Silver
The hero.
9:09 AM Mr. Blue
Oh, no.
9:09 AM Mr. Silver
As I understand it, he ends up wrecking a multi-trillion dollar operation and getting a lot of people killed.
9:10 AM Mr. Blue
(SPOILER) They end up overtaking the military and deporting most of the humans
that's not the end of it. There will be 2 sequels, and the humans will be the antagonists again.
9:13 AM Mr. Silver
Humans?  (Gasp!)  Never!
9:13 AM Mr. Blue
They really cram the symbolism down your throat, but still a good movie.
9:15 AM Mr. Brown
He also ends up staying an alien.
9:17 AM Mr. Silver
Didn't need the device anymore, huh?
9:17 AM Mr. Brown
Nope.  He transferred completely to the alien body.
9:25 AM Mr. Blue
Apparently even the general/colonel guy that was killed is coming back in the next Avatar.
9:26 AM Mr. Brown
Probably a clone.
9:26 AM Mr. Blue
You know, it’s kind of hard to suspend your disbelief when it comes to the idea that they can't fix a spinal cord injury, but they can travel to, and colonize, other galaxies.  Not to mention blend human DNA with alien DNA.
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
You'd think a race with technology capable of growing a hybrid human-alien that looks like Sigourney Weaver could repair a spinal cord injury.
9:30 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
9:30 AM Mr. Blue
They mention at the beginning that they can, it's just "really expensive" and the guy couldn't afford it.
9:31 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah that plays to the story: “I’ve got to make enough money here doing this to fix my cord.”
9:33 AM Mr. Silver
Guess they're kicking themselves over denying that hospital bill now...
9:35 AM Mr. Silver
"We lost how much on the operation, General?" 
"Approximately 3.4 trillion dollars, Mr. President." 
"And the man that we didn't do surgery on that caused all the trouble...what would that have cost?" 
"About as much as a stinger missile, sir." 
9:42 AM Mr. Blue
Heh



10:04 AM Mr. Silver
"I see two cords, a black one and a white one.  The one is black and the white one isn't." 
"Somehow, I'd guessed that already."



10:49 AM Mr. Brown
10:57 AM Mr. Blue
     “Noah's Ark Is (still) In Turkey”
     by Dan Eden for Viewzone
     Why is this not a BIG story?
     I'm often amazed at our lack of knowledge about history.
Most people KNOW Noah's Ark didn't exist, because there is no historical evidence for it, not to mention it is completely impossible.
11:01 AM Mr. Gray
Yep yep.
11:01 AM Mr. Blue
No physical evidence of a global flood, no genetic evidence of a bottlenecking of all species, completely impossible in all facets.
11:02 AM Mr. Pink
Modern shipbuilders can’t build a wooden ship nearly that large.
11:02 AM Mr. Blue
And how old was Noah according to the Bible?  950 years old.
LOL
11:03 AM Mr. Blue
Santa Claus is more believable, and it's a better metaphor too.
11:10 AM Mr. Brown
I still wonder what they actually found there though.
11:38 AM Mr. Silver
"Finish this comparison:  Turks love Noah like sailors love..."
"The sea?" 
"No!  The answer is Santa Claus."
"WHAT?!?!?"
"Look it up.  Zero points.”
11:44 AM Mr. Silver
"The judges also would have accepted 'Shore leave with lots of alcohol and loose women.’  Next question..."
(St. Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors)
11:55 AM Mr. Silver
"Question 2: Everyone knows Ireland is the Emerald Isle, and everyone knows St. Patrick's signature color is..."
"Green?"
"No.  The answer is light blue."
"Huh?!?!"
"Look it up.  Zero points.  Next question..."
12:09 PM Mr. Blue
That I did know.
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
I believe we went over that one in the past.
12:16 PM Mr. Blue
The Irish flag is green, white & orange.  St. Patrick's is blue.
12:18 PM Mr. Brown
Yes it is.   
It should be blue and orange, or just blue in celebration of St. Patrick.
12:21 PM Mr. Brown
I forget where they came up with green for St. Patrick’s Day now.
12:22 PM Mr. Silver
(1832 – Two days until the big St. Patrick’s day party.)
"I been tryin’ a fortnight, now.  It won't work I tell'ee!  This pub cain't color the beer blue for the party!"
"Well what kin ye be makin it, Seamus?"
"This green’s the best ye'll get, boy'o."
The saints love ye, Seamus; green’ll be what I be wantin’ then!”
12:23 PM Mr. Silver
12:24 PM Mr. Blue
It’s probably easier to dye something green than it is blue.
Perhaps they tried blue but it kept coming out greener and greener (just spitballing).
Nevermind.  It looks like I’m way off.
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
On blue beer?
12:26 PM Mr. Blue
On the Irish flag.
"We’re going to have the bluest flag in the world!  ...Eh… Green is close enough."
12:28 PM Mr. Silver
Heh
 


Mr. Yellow
I really would have loved to see what Freddie Mercury would have done after 1991.
2:05 PM Mr. Silver
Ewwwwwwwwwww.
Oh...you mean alive.
Me too.
2:06 PM Mr. Yellow
Yes, had he lived.
Sorry.
Or as a zombie.
2:07 PM Mr. Silver
"Faaaat jooooceeee braaaainssss yoooooo maaake thuuuhhh rockinnnnn worrrrld goooo roooouuuunnnndddd....."
2:08 PM Mr. Yellow
LOL
