8:03 AM Mr. Brown
Apparently Chicago is looking at building a underground city.
8:04 AM Mr. Silver
They already have an above ground one.
8:05 AM Mr. Brown
Well since all the land is used up, they are looking at moving to underground for space reasons.
8:10 AM Mr. Silver
Meanwhile everyone else in the speculative architecture world wants to build up.
8:10 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah like in Japan or China.
Build a bigger, taller building that could have a city in it, basically.
8:10 AM Mr. Silver
Who needs sunlight and unprocessed air anyway, right?
"Y'all played a lot of D&D, right?"
"How'd you know?"
"This city is based off of a dungeon, isn't it?"
"Wellllll...."
Mr. Silver
Seafood?
Mr. Mustard
Indeed. Fresh supplies for the Cold Case Deli.
8:59 AM Mr. Silver
"Many unaccounted for, presumed served."
8:59 AM Mr. Mustard
Are we too late?
9:00 AM Mr. Silver
By the time we got there...couple days...even the sales will be over.
9:00 AM Mr. Mustard
The Short Sale on Long Pork
9:02 AM Mr. Silver
"Authentic brine-cured long pork products"
9:02 AM Mr. Mustard
Hannibal Lecter as the head chef.
9:03 AM Mr. Silver
Heh
Dine at Chez Lecter "Where the best come to meat and eat!"
11:16 AM Mr. Silver
So...the Pennsylvania Dutch Candy Co...
They have stuff at the Farm Market.
I noted that all their "sanded" candies were artificially flavored.
Except 1.
11:19 AM Mr. Blue
Yeah?
11:20 AM Mr. Silver
(sec)
11:20 AM Mr. Blue
The suspense is terrible, I hope it'll last.
11:20 AM Mr. Silver
I love that line!
Anyway, the flavor was "horehound".
I was intrigued...I picked up a bag.
11:25 AM Mr. Silver
There's a reason there is no artificial version of horehound.
11:26 AM Mr. Blue
I've never even heard of it.
11:27 AM Mr. Silver
At first taste, there's a hint of complexity that suggests there a certain level of acquired taste is needed.
This smooths with the sugar and starts developing into something that might be enjoyable.
And then settles into absolutely disgusting.
11:28 AM Mr. Blue
Mmm!
11:29 AM Mr. Silver
I'm a food experimenter...I tried to hold out for a full piece. I had to quit at about minute 3.
11:30 AM Mr. Blue
I think that the plant itself is trying to warn you about its foul taste with a name like "horehound".
11:31 AM Mr. Silver
"It used to be called Whore-Of-Babylon-Hound but the Amish lightened it up."
11:31 AM Mr. Blue
"The taste reminds me of a worn-out prostitute." "No, it tastes like a dead dog." = horehound
11:38 AM Mr. Blue
Some huckleberry candy I had in Wyoming was gross. It was huckleberry + white chocolate
11:39 AM Mr. Silver
That was horkleberry. You should have looked closer.
1:58 PM Mr. Brown
1:59 PM Mr. Silver
That's where the extraterrestrial beans invaded from.
2:00 PM Mr. Blue
It looks like they were mining for something. Probably gold, right?
2:01 PM Mr. Silver
“It stretches for (1) miles!”
“Hundreds of holes, each the size of a (2') tall man!” “They stretch over uneven hilly ground or up one mountain...we're not sure!”
Honestly...did anyone review the details before posting this?
2:03 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
2:05 PM Mr. Brown
Just look at the photo then write what you see!
2:05 PM Mr. Silver
It's starting to blend together better the farther it goes, but ugh.
2:05 PM Mr. Brown
They dig for gold like that in Africa, so they think that is what this is, but it seems like a lot of work to dig into that rock.
2:07 PM Mr. Silver
The problem is that unless gold is found in discrete vertical collections here, miners tend to follow the vein, not dig more 7' holes. And there should still be plenty of gold in the rock if this is how they did it.
2:10 PM Mr. Brown
What civilization said there was a city of gold?
2:21 PM Mr. Silver
The Spanish.
Dips. And there were supposedly 7 of them.
2:22 PM Mr. Blue
7 gold cities?
Even if gold was super abundant you wouldn't want a city *made* out of it.
2:22 PM Mr. Silver
2:27 PM Mr. Silver
Mexican Catholicism can get pretty freaky: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2010/05/mexico-saints/schwartz-photography
2:33 PM Mr. Brown
Hey there is blood on the road, lets put some salt on it.
2:33 PM Mr. Blue
Nice pot leaf hoody.
Mexican cemeteries seem bad ass.
From outside they look like a miniature golf course.
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
Heh...I like that. It would keep people visiting their loved ones. Free passes for those with interred relatives.
"Putt Putt Glen: Eternal Rest and Minigolf"
3:03 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
We could do that!
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
"Ma'am! Ma'am! Please don't put the flowers on the fairway in front of your husband's little lighthouse!"
3:16 PM Mr. Brown
“Please put them in the pots provided.”
LOL
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Get the ball in the clown's mouth and the mausoleum lights up and blows a little siren whistle: "whoo Whoo Whooot!"
3:36 PM Mr. Brown
Then a grim reaper pops out the top, slashing and laughing!
3:37 PM Mr. Silver
A gothic horror section? Nice!
"Oops...see, the skeleton hands pop the ball back out if you go down the wrong holes, and they change the good one every so often. Try the hole on the far right."
3:39 PM Mr. Brown
We can make animatronic zombies pop out.
3:40 PM Mr. Silver
I like this plan.
It puts the "fun" in "funeral".
3:40 PM Mr. Brown
In a way, its a waste of space if you don't use it for anything else.
3:41 PM Mr. Silver
Right.
3:43 PM Mr. Brown
I think my wife and I are going to go the route of cremation. It's just easier.
3:43 PM Mr. Brown
Also we won't be taking up space that could be used for something else.
3:44 PM Mr. Silver
Careful how you say that around Mr. Mustard....There's a lot of meat on that torso you are occupying useful space with.
3:44 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
