Day 184 - "You Never Got Drunk? Now That's A Serious Drinking Problem!", The Spackle For The Acne Scars Just Washed Away In The Shower, Mr. Gray Waxes Seussian, Mr. Brown Just Needs To Take A Deep Breath & Drink More Guinness, The Polite Research On The Typical Conservative Mind Impolitely Reviewed, Which Weighs More: A Pound Of Feathers Or A Pound Of Einstein's Brain?, and A Ticket On A Bullet Train To Heaven

Mr. Brown

I drank a full case of Guinness.

8:02 AM Mr. Silver
This morning?

8:04 AM Mr. Brown

No, on Saturday.  (St. Patrick’s Day – Mr. Silver)

I started at 11am with my friends.

We had total of 5 cases of tall cans and we drank all but half a case.

8:06 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
How long did it take?

8:09 AM Mr. Brown

We quit at about 12 am.

I had a few Jager Bombs in there too,

I never actually got drunk all day though.

11:44 AM Mr. Gray

Big surprise there.

Mr. Yellow

Howard Stern has one of the people on who went to a fake doctor who used what they thought was silicone in their face, butt and breasts but it turned out to be cement.

2:49 PM Mr. Gray

"Hey, it’s just like Silicone, only more durable!"

"Look at that firm behind. No really...it’s like a rock!"

2:54 PM Mr. Silver
Rock hard glutes!
Silicone…silicon…close enough. 

3:00 PM Mr. Yellow

It took 4 hours of surgery to get the cement out of his face.

He is not having the rest removed until he can afford silicone.

3:01 PM Mr. Gray
Eww

3:01 PM Mr. Yellow

I guess he only had to pay 100 dollars a session.  He should have guessed it was not a real plastic surgeon at that point.

 

Mr. Gray

I do not like these folks at all

I do not like it when they call

I do not like them in my mail

They are born to lose and fail!!

3:22 PM Mr. Silver
You do not like them, Sam I Am!

3:23 PM Mr. Gray

I do not like them with green ham! 

I do not like to hear them whine.

I do not like them anytime!

I do not want them in my ear...

They, my friend, can stick it in their rear!

3:24 Mr. Silver
Kinda lost the flow there right at the end, but I like it.

Mr. Brown

I’m getting off my brain meds.

Yahoo!

8:31 AM Mr. Silver
Brain meds?

8:31 AM Mr. Brown

Zoloft, for the anxiety attacks I was getting.

I hate being on meds for long stretches of time.

My new doctor hates to keep anybody on anything for too long unless it’s completely necessary.  That’s why I switched to him; because he is awesome like that.

LOL

Can we get rid of these idiots, please?

“I am, shall we say, looking at all the evidence,” Stearns said.

9:35 AM Mr. Blue

He’s just pandering to his base.

9:35 AM Mr. Silver
Would that be the overwhelming pile of evidence that shows that Birthers have been steadily feeding from a crock of shit for 4 years?
I read an article yesterday comparing and contrasting 3 scholarly studies from 3 different disciplines with observations, test results and conclusions about how Conservatives think.
Since everyone involved was being strictly professional, not one flat-out summarized them as "arrogant, obstinate, stupid and self-centered".
But that was pretty much the gist of all three studies.
I should send in my "goblin" assessment.

9:46 AM Mr. Blue

Yeah.

9:51 AM Mr. Silver
It was generally an interesting (if intellectually irritating) read. 
In paraphrase: "Conservatives will strongly unite for what they call ‘moral’ causes, even when they aren't moral, and they never back down.  The Liberal instinct to present facts and logical argument has been consistently shown to make matters worse and strengthen Conservative resolve to press on with their cause."
9:53 AM Mr. Silver
It had a section of advice at the end.  I didn't consider it very good.

9:54 AM Mr. Brown

They don't review before bringing something to the front.  Make sure you have all the facts, then bring it to the front.

9:54 AM Mr. Silver
The point is (as tested in an accompanying article), facts aren't important to Conservatives.  In fact (heh), they are shown to make them angry and even more intractable.   

9:54 AM Mr. Brown

Yep.  That’s why they will never get anywhere.

9:55 AM Mr. Silver
They win by siege. 
They unify, they are loud, they can't be reasoned with, don't want facts to get in the way of their beliefs no matter how ridiculous, and won't quit.
Unfortunately the assertion that "they will never get anywhere" isn't true.  Just look at the last few decades.

9:58 AM Mr. Brown

It’s how it should work.

lol

9:58 AM Mr. Silver
Well, yes.
But, anyway,  the advice was basically to play their stupid game.
10:03 AM Mr. Silver
“Pick a single cause, unify on the terms, never back down, and attach the movement to something "moral" Conservatives can't argue with, like the Founding Fathers.”
To which I thought "Good luck with that".

10:07 AM Mr. Brown

The biggest point about the Obama-Birther thing is; if it was true that he was not born in the US, the conspirators are not going to let you know no matter how much you investigate. 

10:13 AM Mr. Silver
The biggest point is, even if it's been a conspiracy set in motion since before he was born...which would be required...the guy won the presidency, has been doing the job for years, and if was somehow revealed to be a fraud it changes absolutely nothing at all.
The time is passed.
The legislations made.
The Legislative branch is too much of a mess to reverse anything.
And what did the more than 50-years-in-progress Grand Conspiracy (that would require the intercession of the Hand of God to pull off) achieve?
Anything?
Where’s the police state?  
Where's communist USA?
Where's the repeal of the constitution? 
Where’s the cult of personality?
Holy crap, here’s one!  Progress (crippled) towards health care reform that would advance the USA up to the type that the civilized world has already proven successful.  That foreign bastard!
How about these crimes: Taking emergency steps to prevent a total economic collapse like the 1930s and countering a return to the Plutocracy of the 1920s!
Sick!  Those are ends Conservatives have worked tirelessly to cause...how dare that not-Muslim-not-Socialist-not-Foreigner (black) man try to stop them?!?

10:24 AM Mr. Blue

I like how "Europe" is a 4 letter word in America.

"You don't want us to end up like EUROPE do you?!"

"Well, yeah, I do.  Why not?"

10:24 AM Mr. Silver
“Yurp” 

10:24 AM Mr. Blue

They just count on Americans being uneducated and not knowing just how nice it is in 90% of Europe.

10:51 AM Mr. Blue

I see precedents, don't you?

Women are becoming “overeducated”.

Eve became “overeducated” in Genesis and was banished.

10:57 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
 

Mr. Brown

Time is relative.

12:04 PM Mr. Silver
Bosh
Experience of Time is.
If the physics field wants a mutable non-standard-unit form of Time, they should have picked a different name for it.
Science has done it for everything else they realized they needed to split up concepts for.

"Imagine the thrill (and explosions) as your space train approaches 20000MPH and hits any fairly small defect over the 1000 mile length of the tube."

1:30 PM Mr. Blue

Heheh

"It's truly breathtaking when one considers the complete impossibility of ever maintaining the track, even before the construction could be completed."

1:30 PM Mr. Blue

What’s that that Vonnegut said?  "Everyone wants to build, nobody wants to maintain."

1:32 PM Mr. Silver
"This reporter was amused by the project leader's invitations to 'play spaceships', and running around and making zoom and explosion noises with the project models before continuing the interview." 
1:34 PM Mr. Silver
"I love this project”, he said excitedly.  “I wanted to head the navy railgun project.  That sucker can only throw a metal slug about 5400mph though, but it still vaporizes anything it hits.  This launcher goes 20000mph!  Awesome!  Vroooom!  ‘Ah!  Oh my God! Abort!’ BA-BOOM!"
