Mr. Mustard

This agent can't go to toodledo.com

8:06 AM Mr. Silver

Not with everyone looking, no.

A little privacy, please.

8:51 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

11:37 AM Mr. Silver

It figures Mr. Brown would be gone...

Was going to tell him the "Finding Bigfoot" Bigfoot call story.

(Inhale deeply, cup hands around mouth) “Iiiiiiiiiiii'm a BIGFOOT!   Iiiiiiiiiii have BIG FEET!”

11:38 AM Mr. Gray

Hehe.

11:40 AM Mr. Silver

"Squatch" is starting to sound like "smurf" to me.

"This is some of the squatchiest territory we've seen in this part of the country.  It's perfect habitat for squatches, with plenty of room for a squatch to hide and plenty of smurfy food.   ...squatchy food, I mean."

2:51 PM Mr. Silver

"...and I click next and then finish, right?"

"Right."

"And she's finished...ah...used the feminine on that.  Should have said 'he' since email is such a dumb-ass kind of thing, right?"

"I've never heard it put like that.  I like it!" 

 

11:27 AM Mr. Blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsters_(2010_film) << good film

11:36 AM Mr. Silver

(reads "Monsters")

11:40 AM Mr. Silver

I'd still want to go home.

11:40 AM Mr. Blue

There's a pretty big goof in it.

11:40 AM Mr. Silver

Yes?

11:40 AM Mr. Blue

They climb an Aztec pyramid and can see the US border fence from it.

11:41 AM Mr. Silver

Yyyyeah...

11:44 AM Mr. Silver

"And look! Over there to the left!"

"China?"

"No...past China and a bit south..."

11:45 AM Mr. Blue

Granted, the US border fence was enormous, but not more than 300 feet high.

11:45 AM Mr. Silver

Hehe

11:45 AM Mr. Blue

They looked like they were 4 miles away from it.

11:46 AM Mr. Silver

So like coming round into view of Pittsburgh if the buildings were a fence...

11:46 AM Mr. Blue

Yes.

12:06 PM Mr. Blue

Beaver WHATs?

(Minnesota, not Mexico)

12:08 PM Mr. Silver

"More quarters for the booth please...I just can't get enough of that hot hot dam building scene."

12:09 PM Mr. Blue

LI looks like a "U" there

12:09 PM Mr. Silver

That might be why they filled it in with yellow.

Hey look...what a lucky find.  The world's best donuts are located only a short way away.

Lets go!

12:12 PM Mr. Blue

Beaver and bass-flavored donuts.

12:12 PM Mr. Silver

That whole corner is starting to sound rather XXX.

12:16 PM Mr. Blue

12:18 PM Mr. Silver

Complimentary “dippin' wax”!

12:19 PM Mr. Blue

"New Car Smell" flavored danishes!

12:19 PM Mr. Silver

Try our Shammy & Eggs!

Hand-dry Homefries!

Full meal-detailing available!

12:36 PM Mr. Silver

So I found out over the weekend that "Wargames" still creeps me out a little.

Old Red-Menace paranoia/propaganda dies hard, eh?

1:37 PM Mr. Silver

Wow...this looks like a silly mess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames:_The_Dead_Code

1:40 PM Mr. Silver

Only one of a direct to DVD series from MGM!  Woo!

1:44 PM Mr. Blue

Yeah, it sounds convoluted.

1:45 PM Mr. Silver

Perhaps it's a screwball comedy.

1:45 PM Mr. Blue

A *surprising* 4.5 on IMDB.

1:46 PM Mr. Silver

I loved them emailing the A.I. “Joshua” from the WOPR supercomputer to...anywhere...

"Eh...I have it on an old floppy disk, but it's easier just to click on the attachment."

1:57 PM Mr. Silver

Apparently this plot happens either:

1. Every time someone guesses moderately well on terrorism games.

2. Our hero is the only one who has ever won.

If only he'd run Malwarebytes before playing.

2:06 PM Mr. Silver

Military Intelligence Analyst - "Well, general, so far we've lost $5 million dollars to about 10000 kids looking up the game answers on forums and Wikipedia, and had to explain to R.I.P.L.E.Y. that nuclear Armageddon isn't an appropriate response to the top 5 winners' scenarios."

General - "Any hard terrorist evidence with those 5?"

Analyst – "No...mostly a lot of Magic and Pokemon cards."

General - "Keep the program going."

2:10 PM Mr. Blue

Heheh.

2:20 PM Mr. Silver

Silver Junior tried "Clue" last night.

2:20 PM Mr. Yellow

Cool. How did that go?

2:20 PM Mr. Silver

It was pretty funny.

Since he's closing in on the recommended age, I wouldn't get him a kid's version.

I just gave him about double the cards we got.

But he kept leaving them out, or reading them out loud

2:21 PM Mr. Yellow

LOL

2:24 PM Mr. Silver

"I say...Professor Plum...in the Study...with the knife."

(show him card)

"(whispers) Professor Plum."

"Don't SAY it!  It's a SECRET!"

"Oh yeah!  Sorry!  Hehehe!" 

But it happened all game long.

2:25 PM Mr. Yellow

LOL

2:26 PM Mr. Silver

In the end he won by default because Mrs. Silver botched her guess by 1 card (killer).  I knew the killer so I immediately popped into a room and announced the answer!

And blurted out “Billiard Room” by mistake because it was in my own hand and I was looking at it.

"Wait!  AUGH!!!!"

2:26 PM Mr. Yellow

Haha!

2:27 PM Mr. Silver

"I meant!   Oh nevermind...you win, Junior.  Bed time." 

"I won?"

"Yes."

2:27 PM Mr. Yellow

So he outsmarted all of you by pretending he did not know what he was doing.

The ole “bumbling detective” persona.

2:28 PM Mr. Silver

He went to the Jacques Clouseau Academy of Detective Sciences in Paris.

2:29 PM Mr. Yellow

*nod*
