Day 207 - Born To Raise Rutabagas, Couldn't Escape If I Wanted To, They Love It Like "Sushi", Celebrating The Bantam Shoebox, A Bonus That Is Hard To Chew, Dubious Taste In Spirits, and He Was Able To Name All The Other 1237 Varities

8:00 AM Mr. Brown
I’ve been watching the ID Channel a lot lately.
They always seem to use the same question at the end: “Was this person born a killer?”
8:10 AM Mr. Silver
"And so, with all this history and all these facts before us to consider...Was this person BORN a garbage collector?"
8:11 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
LOL



Mr. Silver
AUGH!
I thought I stopped it yesterday!
(ABBA earworm)
Get out of my mind!
9:43 AM Mr. Yellow
ABBA.  Lucky you.
Dancing Queen or Fernando?
9:46 AM Mr. Silver
Waterloo
9:48 AM Mr. Silver
2 days ago...it was late...I was tired...looked up something, saw a link to “Waterloo”...
"Just one couldn't hurt"
(wiser self) "It's ABBA...don't."
"What's the worst that could happen?"
(wiser self) "Don't click that."
 (click)
45 minutes later I fled and went to bed.
9:50 AM Mr. Yellow
You know, I listen to a few ABBA tunes when I am in weird moods but I never heard that song.
9:54 AM Mr. Silver
Really?
10:12 AM Mr. Yellow
Does Your Mother Know....Dancing Queen....Fernando.....Chiquitita.....and Mamma Mia
10:53 AM Mr. Green
Lunch
10:56 AM Mr. Yellow
I do not remember that ABBA song.
11:01 AM Mr. Yellow
Hmm.  I’m not showing a song named “Lunch” here by ABBA anywhere.
Weird Al did “Girls Just Want To Have Lunch”
and Dead Kennedys did “A Growing Boy Needs Lunch”
11:02 AM Mr. Silver
I'll bet if ABBA did sing a song called “Lunch”, it would have sounded great and had piano in it.
11:02 AM Mr. Yellow
Dead Boys – “I need lunch”
Elaine Stritch – “Ladies who lunch”
11:03 AM Mr. Silver
(sings) "Gimmie gimmie gimmie a sand-wich at lunchtime!"
11:03 AM Mr. Yellow
Haha
Banana Slug String Band – “Dirt made my Lunch”
Steer Clear and Jimmie Scooter did a song called “Lunch Money”
Lunch Room Queen”
11:15 AM Mr. Yellow
You are the Lunch Room Queen...Your eating habits so obscene...Lunch Room Queen ... You can bake, You can fry...Cooking food that goes straight to your thighs...See her eat, hear her scream..Food is killing the lunch room queen
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
\:-/
11:40 AM Mr. Silver
It’s a fairly challenging lyrical task, that one.
I was trying to wrap my head around it when you put up yours...I love filking lyrics if it wasn't obvious by now.  
(continues pondering) 
11:46 AM Mr. Silver
(Sings) "Add the cheese, turn the oven oooon...
Blend the potatoes, the gravy's…gonnnne…
Have to serve them with butter...
Margarine would do. 
You're in the mood for a break.   
And as you fill a plate. 
YOU ARE THE LUNCHROOM QUEEN"  Etc
12:50 PM Mr. Yellow
lol
Mr. Brown
We need to find all the songs that can get stuck in your head and play them as Katzenjammer hold music.
Come on Eileen
M-bop
10:30 AM Mr. Silver
Those don't get stuck
Throw some ABBA on
Hot Rod Lincoln” tortured me once for days
(No, ABBA didn't cover it, thank God)
11:06 AM Mr. Blue
Come on Alien
11:08 AM Mr. Silver
(sings) “Oh I swear...at this moment...you'd eat anything!
You burst from my chest...oh my clothes (I confess)...are so bloody...oh come oooon alien!”



Mr. Brown
Giant Eagle sells sushi-grade tuna
12:31 PM Mr. Blue
It’d probably make a Japanese person vomit.
12:48 PM Mr. Silver
"You know how you say 'sushi' to a lot of Yinzer yokels and they make a face, say eww and start bitching about it even though they've never had it?  Yeah, this tuna is that sushi grade."
12:48 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
12:55 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah.  Most people won't even give it a chance.  Just think they won't like it cause its “raw fish”.
1:09 PM Mr. Silver
People don't eat a lot of “dangerous food”...it always amazed me, some reactions.
Simple prejudice.
"Chi-NESE food?  I won't touch THAT!  You know what's IN that?" 
"Yes...very well, and can cook some of it.  What do you think is in it?"
1:11 PM Mr. Blue
"Proteins, fats and carbohydrates, same as any food."
1:11 PM Mr. Silver
"Often crafted to a degree of sophistication beyond your dreams.  But please…enjoy your chipped ham, plastic wrapped processed cheese slice and Miracle Whip on white Wonder Bread."
1:13 PM Mr. Blue
I know more people that scoff at sushi than like it
1:13 PM Mr. Blue
Sushi, in particular is good, AND not bad for you.  It’s possibly even good for you.
1:14 PM Mr. Silver
Except for that spicy tuna issue a while back.
Which I think was the only case of tainted sushi I've ever heard of.
I can tell you that opening that little bit of news on the day after having spicy tuna and having to call off work was a bit of a downer
"Great.  Salmonella. And here I thought it was the eel...silly me."
Coincidence though.  I was fine.
1:17 PM Mr. Blue
It was probably the sauce's fault.
I’d like some sashimi now



9:02 AM Mr. Brown
9:13 AM Mr. Silver
Of course my personal favorite would be the Bantam Jeep monument in Butler PA.  I saw it at the Jeep Festival.
(committee member) "It says here that you're unable to draw in perspective, but are cheap."
(artist) "That's correct."
(committee member) "Excellent!  Welcome to the project.  Let's get to it.  What we really were looking for was a boxy representation of something jeep-like, but doesn't look like a Bantam jeep.  And we want the angles all F'd up."
(artist) "I'm on it."
9:18 AM Mr. Blue
I dunno what you're talking about
Where is it?
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
Diamond Park in Butler PA
9:19 AM Mr. Blue
Ah, I’ll have to check it out.
9:42 AM Mr. Silver
9:48 AM Mr. Blue
Oh I see.  It looks unfinished: floating wheels, uneven grill, no undercarriage.
9:51 AM Mr. Silver
And drawn as if it was a model made from a shoebox.



11:34 AM Mr. Silver
So did everyone get gum and sunflower seeds?
I was thinking this was maybe our Christmas bonus, but there was no announcement.
11:37 AM Mr. Blue
I did.  I figured it was baseball related.
11:37 AM Mr. Silver
This gum is hard to chew with all these seed hulls mixed in.
11:37 AM Mr. Blue
Where’s the chaw?
I recall a movie where a guy took a golf-ball sized amount of chew and wrapped bubble gum around it.
Rookie of the Year”, maybe.
11:39 AM Mr. Silver
"All agents should enjoy the full rich flavor of the Mail Pouch tobacco placed on each of your desks"
11:39 AM Mr. Blue
lol
11:42 AM Mr. Silver
"And it's a national imperative that you vote tobacco this year, or the USA will be destroyed by special interests and health-terrorist commies."
11:44 AM Mr. Blue
"3 out of 5 physicians recommend Red Man Long Cut tobacco."
 


(The following Mr. Brown comments are unedited for our mutual enjoyment - Mr. Silver)
2:07 PM Mr. Brown
i think I’m going to buy some 100% guava tequila.
2:07 PM Mr. Blue
Knock yourself out.
2:08 PM Mr. Silver
Tequila can manage to knock him out with minimal effort on his part, I’m sure.
2:08 PM Mr. Brown

2:09 PM Mr. Silver
He's already drunk just thinking about it.
2:11 PM Mr. Brown

Awww. he caught it...
You looked it up, right?
2:12 PM Mr. Brown

2:15 PM Mr. Blue
2:21 PM Mr. Blue
Ask the liquor store for their finest bum wine
2:26 PM Mr. Silver
"Pardon me, my good man, but I was unfortunately required to leave my collection of toilet wines in stir when I was recently discharged from the establishment.  I'm entertaining colleagues at my new flat behind this storefront this very evening, and I was hoping you could show me to your finest vintage of Mad Dog, or perhaps to a palatable Night Train Express."
2:27 PM Mr. Blue
lol
2:30 PM Mr. Brown
Mmm… Thunderbird.

11:20 AM Mr. Silver
"Rusten Ramsey, who was born full-grown with no interest in anything at all, never even heard of vampire bats."
"Apparently all the kids know about them and think they are cool." he said to reporters
11:22 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
