Day 155 - The Funky Bunch Could Not Be Reached For A Statement, You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Clumsy, There Are Still Some Limits To Internet Communications, Dean Dean The Butter Queen, The Relationship Enters Phase 4, and Cutting The Red Wire With Have To Wait On This Phone Call

8:40 AM Mr. Brown
Looks like Mark apologized.
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
?
8:46 AM Mr. Brown
For the 9/11 comments. Marky Mark.
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
Oh...yeah, I saw that.
8:47 AM Mr. Brown
That was intended to be more of a “with friends” comment about 9/11, not a public comment.
But it went public.
8:48 AM Mr. Silver
Despite the insulting implications of his statements, Marky Mark really couldn't have made much of a difference.
Now if he'd had the whole Funky Bunch with him...now we're talkin'!
8:48 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
12:11 PM Mr. Blue
A "comment with friends" that he accidentally said to a reporter for a magazine during an interview.
12:15 PM Mr. Silver
"My friends...the foreign press."
Everyone thanks them at the Golden Globes.



12:26 PM Mr. Brown
I tried to look at my watch and ended up punching the computer screen.
Motor skills: I don't got 'em.
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Hulk alien-hand SMASH!!!
12:27 PM Mr. Brown
LOL



12:52 PM Mr. Silver
"You can't email a piece of paper. Are you sure that's what she said?" 
"I'm sure."
"Did you call her stupid or anything else appropriate at the time?" 



1:59 PM Mr. Blue
I really didn't know who Paula Dean was up until the last couple of days.
2:02 PM Mr. Silver
Paula Dean...butter queen.
2:04 PM Mr. Silver
If she could have deep-fried a stick of butter, in a butter and doughnut batter, in a deep-fryer filled with more melted butter...well...she'd be more famous for her extreme use of butter.
2:05 PM Mr. Blue
She gave herself diabetes, and she's apparently not going to do anything about it.
2:05 PM Mr. Silver
I watched her make and eat a real "Luther Burger”. It was a disaster from a 'The Boondocks' episode called “The Itis”.
2:08 PM Mr. Blue
Gross.
2:09 PM Mr. Silver
I taught Silver Jr. that term (The Itis) when he ate too much and wanted to pass out once...hehe
Ever see the episode?  The restaurant had beds in it. 
One step past "Hoss-itis" - plain traditional "The Itis".
2:19 PM Mr. Silver
I'd say one Luther might pass the Death Pizza I ordered with a friend once (and told people about, who then ordered it more than once).
2:27 PM Mr. Silver
Pizza Hut.  A large Cheese-Lover's cheese-stuffed-crust pizza with bacon, pepperoni and I think sausage too.
2:29 PM Mr. Blue
And salt for Mr. Brown.
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
(touches nose)
We both were able to finish a slice before struggling, and a second before quitting.
That left a lot of pizza...
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
The waitress came up and asked if we wanted a box. 
"You can have it."
"No, that's fine."
"I insist."
"No I'm good."
back and forth because neither one of us wanted it.
Waitress - "I'll bring TWO boxes and you can each have HALF!" 
"Greeeeeaaaaattttt....thanks...."
2:37 PM Mr. Blue
What was wrong with it?
Just too much everything?
2:40 PM Mr. Silver
They were triangles of bread piled high with fat, basically.
Our bodies protested.
We took our halves home. Each of us attempted one more piece the next day, it turned out, and couldn't do it.
"You throw out the death pizza?"
"Yeah...you?"
"Yup...couldn't face it."
So years later I tell this to a group, with Mr. Pig-Iron in attendance, while trying to pick toppings...
Mr. PI - "Yeah!"
"NO!"
And they all out-voted me and ordered it, declaring it "not bad!"
But since it was split up among several, we all only got a piece or two anyway, so they just didn't know.
He actually ordered it a second time that I know of, but the guy's a tub.
2:45 PM Mr. Brown
Well pizza is actually good for you in the right amount.
Your body needs a lot of the stuff in pizza, but we always eat more than we need.
2:46 PM Mr. Blue
No.
2:46 PM Mr. Silver
Death Pizza is good for you at Personal size, divided among 4 eaters with a big salad each. 
2:46 PM Mr. Blue
If by 'right amount' you're talking about one square inch of crust, then yes, it's good for you.
2:52 PM Mr. Blue
Otherwise, it's somewhere between "fairly harmless" and "a punch in your heart" depending on your body type, metabolism and the amount eaten.
3:00 PM Mr. Blue
What's the name of that term where people convince themselves that things that are bad for them are good when they're doing them.
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
Not sure either
(ponders)
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
Cognitive Dissonance
3:05 PM Mr. Blue
Thaaat's it.
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
(I looked up self-rationalization. Heh.)



8:53 AM Mr. Silver
I finally got to chat with Mr. Gray on Facebook last night.
9:06 AM Mr. Silver
I passed along Ms. Robin theories.
9:07 AM Mr. Yellow
How did that go?
9:07 AM Mr. Silver
"How's Ms. Robin?" 
"Head hurts, dad being a dick. She just asked me if she could come over to use the net.  She's fighting with roomie and wants to look for a job and place to live away from them.  I was going to go to dinner with Ms. S...messes that up."
"Uh huh...'Phase 4'."
"Phase 4?"
"Hehe....1. Re-initiate contact.  2. Show great value to new homeowner.  3. Make a bonding contact: slipping on the ice and breaking head." 
"What...she planned to crack her skull?"
"Was she holding on to you when she fell?"
"Uh...yeah.  She was really drunk and took us both down.  I hurt my knee and wrist."
"Hehehehe"
9:13 AM Mr. Yellow
Oh. Ok.
Hmm... She's definitely looking to move in rent free.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
I pointed out the skull thing wasn't planned, but a bonus.
And Phase 4 is getting in and pushing other queens out.
9:20 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
She "hates" Ms. S though they've never met or talked.



3:22 PM Mr. Yellow
Well, I will try calling Mr. Green tonight to see what is up with the car situation.
Are you guys playing tonight?
3:23 PM Mr. Silver
We're supposed to.
3:23 PM Mr. Yellow
That will work since you should all be in the same room.
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
Yup.
3:29 PM Mr. Yellow
I will try and make sure the call comes at the most dramatic point in the game.
3:32 PM Mr. Silver
I like this plan!
3:33 PM Mr. Silver
Mr. Silver - "7 seconds!  Cut the red!  Cut the red!"
Mr. Green - “Ok! I cut the red!”
Mr. Gray - “They're all red!  Pick one! Pick one!”
Mr. Silver - "3 seconds!!!!"
Mr. Green - “AUGH!!! (Ring!) Oh hi, Mr. Yellow.  Nothing much, just playing.”
3:34 PM Mr. Yellow
LOL
