Day 148 - Leopards Do Not Make Good Barbers, I'd Like To Order One Large 12-Cut Salad For Delivery Please, Dentists Love Sugar-Frosted Salt, The Dark Powers Of The Relationship Moon, Let's Play "Dungeons & Dollars", Purple Porches & Macabre Murals, And "Everyone Remain Calm! Just Stick With Me: I'm A Roleplaying Gamer!"

10:08 AM Mr. Blue

http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Leopard-kills-man-scalps-another-in-Indian-city-2449889.php

10:27 AM Mr. Silver

That scalp looks an awful lot like a toupee.

10:27 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

10:28 AM Mr. Blue

lol

What about the bangs?

Toupees usually include the whole top of the hair.

10:37 AM Mr. Silver

Well, I think that's pictures 2 and 3 out of 3

#1 would be "Normal head with death paw swooping in."

#2 is "Scalp sliced thru, like Basil Rathbone with a rapier, so fast by death paw that it still looks attached.

#3 is “Scalp flapping like Hollywood toupee scene.”

10:39 AM Mr. Blue

as a matter of fact there are 3

10:39 AM Mr. Silver

Bleh!

11:30 AM Mr. Silver

So Sam asked me to tell him in an IM if there was more being served at the party than pizza.  He’s on a diet. 

11:31 AM Mr. Silver

He’d requested a salad.

11:32 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

11:32 AM Mr. Silver

Me – “You're in luck!  They have an antipasto down there!  It's weird though...it's served on a triangular piece of bread with a marinara sauce.”

Sam – “It still sounds fattening to me.  Antipasto on bread is just more carbs, same as pizza.  No luck.”

Me – “I’m talking about pizza, Sam.  They didn’t get you anything special.

Sam – “Oh”

11:33 AM Mr. Blue

Tell him that according to US government guidelines, there are fresh vegetables downstairs.

11:36 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

11:38 AM Mr. Brown

Yeah that is great.  Pizza is a vegetable.

12:14 PM Mr. Brown

I have my plate of “veggies”.

Good stuff!

LOL

12:17 PM Mr. Blue

Congratulations!  You should also be set for sodium for the next week!

It’s win-win.

12:18 PM Mr. Brown

I added salt to it too.

Adding a little salt to stuff if your blood pressure is a little low is good for you.

12:20 PM Mr. Silver

I keep a salt lick in my cube.

12:20 PM Mr. Blue

LOL

I’m pretty sure a slice of pizza already has enough sodium to last a person a week.

12:22 PM Mr. Brown

It probably does.  I felt like I needed some more.

12:24 PM Mr. Blue

Why not add some sugar to it too?

12:24 PM Mr. Brown

It doesn’t need sugar.

12:24 PM Mr. Blue

You didn't need salt either.

12:25 PM Mr. Silver

"New Sugar-frosted Salt!  Recommended by 9 out of 10 irresponsible dentists and 8 out of 10 irresponsible cardiologists!"

12:26 PM Mr. Blue

"Recommended by dentists and cardiologists who are really strapped for cash."

That never made sense to me.  Why would a dentist recommend a toothpaste that would mean less frequent dental visits?

12:27 PM Mr. Silver

Conflict of interest would seem apparent, however they have a grasp on what people will really do, know people aren’t going to care for their teeth, and know they will never run out of work.

12:28 PM Mr. Blue

Speaking of dental appointments, I have a teeth cleaning at 3 today.

I can't wait to have the most one-sided conversation ever.

"So, you're still at Katzenjammer?"

"mharrharrllll"

"Oh?  How is it there?"

"hrrrllloouhhh" 

"That's good."

7:11 AM Mr. Green

Issues with the kids. Looks like they're coming home whether they want to or not, which they don’t, so things will be fun at my house...

7:14 AM Mr. Silver

(confused)

7:23 AM Mr. Green

Mrs. Green and I have decided to work things out.  The kids have been staying with friends of the family.  So it's time for them to come home, but they are still mad at her

Yeah, I know... my life is a bad soap opera... *sigh*

7:26 AM Mr. Silver

Oh, I think you'd put up ratings...

7:26 AM Mr. Green

LOL

8:10 AM Mr. Silver

Morning Mr. Gray.

8:10 AM Mr. Gray

Morning

So...I had an interesting Saturday night. Full Moon DEFINITELY was in effect

8:13 AM Mr. Gray

I had no plans...

8:15 AM Mr. Silver

"Then suddenly I got all itchy and thirsty, and the next thing I knew, I was naked in the woods with a half eaten dead deer...well, after that I..."

8:16 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO!  Close, Mr. Silver.

     (Insert multi-girl attention competition, yadda yadda… - Mr. Silver)

After all, why would I say no when I had no plans and she offered a full bottle of Captain Morgan 100 proof?  I'm certainly not stupid. LOL

8:18 AM Mr. Silver

(Old man across the campfire, looking up) "See that moon, boy?  That color?  That's the Relationship Moon.  Many a good man has been tiched by its dark influence.  Hehehe!"

Pulls a feller's insides like it pulls on th' sea.  The Moon makes the tides...know that?  Read her in a book somewheres.  And there's a tide-like thing in wimmen folk too.  And that moon...that color.  It makes it rise somethin' pow'rful."

8:25 AM Mr. Silver

(old man listens to the crickets)

8:25 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

Just was weird....very weird.

10:18 AM Mr. Gray

Morning Mr. Yellow.

10:18 AM Mr. Yellow

Morning Mr. Gray.

10:18 AM Mr. Silver

So Mr. Yellow...what did the "Relationship Moon" do to you this weekend?

10:20 AM Mr. Yellow

LOL!  Nothing I guess. It was a good weekend.

10:20 AM Mr. Gray

For some it was good....for some it was bad. You're the first "Uneventful" we've had. LOL

10:26 AM Mr. Yellow

Mrs. Yellow’s parents are coming on the 27th. They did not ask us, just called and told her.

10:27 AM Mr. Green

Wow...

10:28 AM Mr. Silver

(Old man across the campfire, looking up) "See that moon, boy?”

10:56 AM Mr. Gray

Oh dear God....they are doing it again....

New York Times Article.  Wizards of the Coast is working on a new D&D version....."using player input". *Rolls eyes* So in other words...."We've realized half of you won't buy our books anymore because of 4th edition.....how can we make you happy?"

FAIL

10:58 AM Mr. Green

LOL!

11:11 AM Mr. Yellow

Just go back to writing for 3.5

11:25 AM Mr. Gray

I agree.....3.5 was the best one, IMO.

11:27 AM Mr. Green

No doubt. 3.5 rules.

11:31 AM Mr. Gray

3.5 was fairly well balanced and still felt like D&D.  Not some dumbed-down rip-off like 4.0

12:39 PM Mr. Yellow

Yes, well it's time for a new edition so they can sell new books.

12:52 PM Mr. Gray

*snickers* Robin called and is checking on prices for paint for me and offered to paint stuff this weekend. Definitely the win having the person who does home restoration around when moving into a new house. LOL

I'm so milking this.

LOL

12:54 PM Mr. Yellow

Sweet! Maybe you too can have a purple porch!

12:58 PM Mr. Gray

Ummm...No

Unlike some people, I'd toss someone on their backside if they tried it.

Because I'd be pretty happy alone with a dog...and am! LOL

12:59 PM Mr. Yellow

But we could compose some interesting songs about it.

12:59 PM Mr. Gray

Purple porch...only a weak willed sissy would have a purple porch....

Oh...Hi Mr. Green!!

1:01 PM Mr. Yellow

Mr. Gray, you hold out for chartreuse.

1:01 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

1:11 PM Mr. Green

I have to do some un-painting.

1:11 PM Mr. Yellow

LOL

Getting rid of the purple porch?

It is the color of royalty.

1:16 PM Mr. Gray

How stable is most royalty?

1:26 PM Mr. Gray

I just want to drive by and see it gone.....so does most of town, I'd assume. LOL

1:29 PM Mr. Yellow

So Mr. Green, one night when Mr. Gray is asleep, do you want to paint his porch?

1:29 PM Mr. Gray

I'd so call the cops...and it would be easy to point fingers as to where it came from. LOL

"Yeah...I have this friend and he has this crazy lady living at his house that likes to paint things purple.....can you take care of this please? Thanks!"

1:31 PM Mr. Gray

As if his own purple porch wouldn't be evidence enough. LOL

They'd pull up and go...."Well, this is the place alright."

1:32 PM Mr. Silver

"Hello police?  Someone painted my porch really purple, and -" 

"We have a lead, sir."

1:32 PM Mr. Gray

I'm already agreeing to let Cat paint an unknown mural on the wall of my home...I've already taken my lumps.

For all I know it could be a painting of a zombie apocalypse; which might be cool, actually.

1:33 PM Mr. Yellow

OK, so I can just talk to her about that; offer some ideas

1:33 PM Mr. Gray

Uh huh.

You do remember I own firearms right? LOL

2:02 PM Mr. Silver

I do like the zombies breaking into the dining room idea.

2:03 PM Mr. Silver

Seat the undesirable dinner guests either facing it to be grossed out, or with their backs to it so you can enjoy the imagery of them about to be grabbed.

2:04 PM Mr. Silver

"They're getting clo-serrrr...pass the salt before it's too late please." 

or

"Here, have another ladle of red sauce.  Say!  You're looking a little pale."

2:06 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

2:36 PM Mr. Gray

When the monsters emerge and try to conquer the world it'll be the dice-and-paper roleplaying gamers that will quickly formulate 3 plans with contingencies, and know roughly what the creatures might be able to do or how to kill them. Your average computer/console gamer will be standing there pissing on himself looking for where to connect a game controller.

Day 147 - Nine Out Of Ten Hermits Love Mr. Silver's Instant Mess, The Viking New Year Was Missing Some Traditional Activities, Would Your Job Be More Interesting As A B Movie?, And Be Far Away When Mr. Green Sheds His Skin

Mr. Silver

Silly blog.

Flat-lined again right after I got excited and posted again.

Grrrr

"I was wrong!  They love it!  Yay!  Here fans!  Have some more!" 

(Post new stuff! 5 days with only 3 hits later...) 

"F YOU, 'Fans'."

9:39 AM Mr. Blue

Perhaps there's too much fluff.

9:44 AM Mr. Silver

It’s ALL fluff.

Hehe

9:48 AM Mr. Silver

Even when we get into the Big Four (science, philosophy, religion, politics) and things get pretty hot, it's usually a light-entertainment war.

9:49 AM Mr. Blue

You need to leave only the biting commentary.

That will either be hilarious, riveting or offensive to most.  Or maybe highlight the good parts.

I mean they're all "good" parts, but perhaps boldface the best of the good.

I just figure most people that stumble on the blog are like "What the Hell?  This is just some dude’s conversations over IM?" and then leave.

9:53 AM Mr. Silver

Heh

9:53 AM Mr. Silver

Honestly, the pages that get all the hits are the fluffier ones.

9:54 AM Mr. Silver

The repeat hits I mean.

9:58 AM Mr. Silver

The one that had the most was the police standoff way from the beginning.  Hyrule Airlines recently took over.

I don't think the recent Jong-Il stuff got any hits.

10:43 AM Mr. Silver

I was kind of considering a simple "Letter to the readers" 

"Um...pass us around a little please."

(Which I did, though no one read it since there were no hits at all since it went up, so I decided it was a Jonah and dumped it...Bing! Readers started coming back. – Mr. Silver)

10:55 AM Mr. Silver

It's not like it's a private journal...it was for folks to read for fun.  It's just weird that so many people have seen it, yet it doesn't expand.

Or if it's just a few people...Hell...if they like it enough to come back to account for 50 hits from Germany, why aren't the guys in Germany telling anyone?

10:57 AM Mr. Blue

Because they're recluses?

10:57 AM Mr. Silver

Hehehe

"Popular with Hermits!"

Awesome!  It almost makes a fellow want to row a boat for a week, kill a lot of Irish people and steal their stuff!

11:58 AM Mr. Blue

“Day of the Forgotten Security Credentials”

It will chilllll you to the marrow!

12:01 PM Mr. Blue

No one will be admitted during the "secondary security question" scene.

"Starring The Trilogy Of Terror: Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, and Jimmy Stewart."

"OK...Duo of Terror and a mildly irritating nice guy..."

Mr. Green

I want to experiment in the “Beyond The Supernatural” game to see if I can trigger my new-found "Changling" thing.

(He's playing a normal human-looking fellow with a huge, winged, demon spirit inside. My character is a magician named Fike – Mr. Silver)

7:44 AM Mr. Silver

Naturally

Got a plan?

Mr. Fike can call his people...

Of course, Mr. Fike is also wondering if he can stop what's in you if it manifests.

7:52 AM Mr. Silver

"Success, Mr. Gray!  We got Mr. Green's true self out of the body it was trapped in!" 

"That's great news!  Say, you sound pretty far away.  Where are you calling from?"

"Rio!  The weather's wonderful down here!"

"Sweet!  So is Mr. Green excited?  Can you put him on?"

"Nope...he's rampaging through London at the moment. Turn on CNN."

7:52 AM Mr. Green

Hehehe!

Day 146 - "Is The Dark Bun Stronger?" "No! Cooler Tastier More Food-Colored", The Main Lesson Of 'Avatar' Is You Should Pay Your Soldiers' Hospital Bills, In The Dark All Cords Are Black, "For 10 Points What Do Noah & Santa Claus & St. Patrick Have In Common?", And "Crazy Little Thing Called Death"

Mr. Silver

http://gizmodo.com/5873108/this-black-bun-darth-vader-burger-looks-more-awesome-than-the-phantom-menace

8:13 AM Mr. Brown

Sweet!

8:13 AM Mr. Silver

And the best part?  Darth Vader isn't in Phantom Menace but no one cares.

8:15 AM Mr. Brown

Yeah I know.  Just Anakin.

LOL

8:19 AM Mr. Gray

Yeah but to call it an Anakin Burger it would have to be soft, leave a bad taste in your mouth, and be too small for the burger "role".

8:20 AM Mr. Silver

"Comes dry and spice free, but with two slices of bland cheese!"

"It'll make you say 'whoopie' or 'whee' or whatever the kid said."

8:20 AM Mr. Brown

They could have just called it a Sith Burger.

8:43 AM Mr. Silver

I don't think the French will take being told to "Eat Sith" lying down.

They should have made a long chicken sandwich, dyed it pink, and called it a “Gungan Tongue-an”.

8:57 AM Mr. Silver

No?

9:00 AM Mr. Silver

So where were you hiding, Mr. Blue?

9:00 AM Mr. Blue

Sick day.

9:03 AM Mr. Blue

I got some laundry done and watched "Avatar".

9:04 AM Mr. Silver

Mrs. Silver and I never finished “Avatar”.

9:05 AM Mr. Blue

It kept me interested for the full 3 hours, something LOTR never could.

9:06 AM Mr. Silver

I think we just started too late.  Mrs. Silver just started passing out.  We stopped it and never got back.  Did they show the part at the end where the guy gets executed for treason?  Just wondering.

9:08 AM Mr. Blue

No.  Which guy?

9:09 AM Mr. Silver

The hero.

9:09 AM Mr. Blue

Oh, no.

9:09 AM Mr. Silver

As I understand it, he ends up wrecking a multi-trillion dollar operation and getting a lot of people killed.

9:10 AM Mr. Blue

(SPOILER) They end up overtaking the military and deporting most of the humans

that's not the end of it. There will be 2 sequels, and the humans will be the antagonists again.

9:13 AM Mr. Silver

Humans?  (Gasp!)  Never!

9:13 AM Mr. Blue

They really cram the symbolism down your throat, but still a good movie.

9:15 AM Mr. Brown

He also ends up staying an alien.

9:17 AM Mr. Silver

Didn't need the device anymore, huh?

9:17 AM Mr. Brown

Nope.  He transferred completely to the alien body.

9:25 AM Mr. Blue

Apparently even the general/colonel guy that was killed is coming back in the next Avatar.

9:26 AM Mr. Brown

Probably a clone.

9:26 AM Mr. Blue

You know, it’s kind of hard to suspend your disbelief when it comes to the idea that they can't fix a spinal cord injury, but they can travel to, and colonize, other galaxies.  Not to mention blend human DNA with alien DNA.

9:29 AM Mr. Silver

You'd think a race with technology capable of growing a hybrid human-alien that looks like Sigourney Weaver could repair a spinal cord injury.

9:30 AM Mr. Brown

LOL

9:30 AM Mr. Blue

They mention at the beginning that they can, it's just "really expensive" and the guy couldn't afford it.

9:31 AM Mr. Brown

Yeah that plays to the story: “I’ve got to make enough money here doing this to fix my cord.”

9:33 AM Mr. Silver

Guess they're kicking themselves over denying that hospital bill now...

9:35 AM Mr. Silver

"We lost how much on the operation, General?" 

"Approximately 3.4 trillion dollars, Mr. President." 

"And the man that we didn't do surgery on that caused all the trouble...what would that have cost?" 

"About as much as a stinger missile, sir." 

9:42 AM Mr. Blue

Heh

10:04 AM Mr. Silver

"I see two cords, a black one and a white one.  The one is black and the white one isn't." 

"Somehow, I'd guessed that already."

10:49 AM Mr. Brown

http://www.viewzone.com/noahx.html

10:57 AM Mr. Blue

“Noah's Ark Is (still) In Turkey”      by Dan Eden for Viewzone      Why is this not a BIG story?      I'm often amazed at our lack of knowledge about history.

Most people KNOW Noah's Ark didn't exist, because there is no historical evidence for it, not to mention it is completely impossible.

11:01 AM Mr. Gray

Yep yep.

11:01 AM Mr. Blue

No physical evidence of a global flood, no genetic evidence of a bottlenecking of all species, completely impossible in all facets.

11:02 AM Mr. Pink

Modern shipbuilders can’t build a wooden ship nearly that large.

11:02 AM Mr. Blue

And how old was Noah according to the Bible?  950 years old.

LOL

11:03 AM Mr. Blue

Santa Claus is more believable, and it's a better metaphor too.

11:10 AM Mr. Brown

I still wonder what they actually found there though.

11:38 AM Mr. Silver

"Finish this comparison:  Turks love Noah like sailors love..."

"The sea?" 

"No!  The answer is Santa Claus."

"WHAT?!?!?"

"Look it up.  Zero points.”

11:44 AM Mr. Silver

"The judges also would have accepted 'Shore leave with lots of alcohol and loose women.’  Next question..."

(St. Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors)

11:55 AM Mr. Silver

"Question 2: Everyone knows Ireland is the Emerald Isle, and everyone knows St. Patrick's signature color is..."

"Green?"

"No.  The answer is light blue."

"Huh?!?!"

"Look it up.  Zero points.  Next question..."

12:09 PM Mr. Blue

That I did know.

12:14 PM Mr. Silver

I believe we went over that one in the past.

12:16 PM Mr. Blue

The Irish flag is green, white & orange.  St. Patrick's is blue.

12:18 PM Mr. Brown

Yes it is.   

It should be blue and orange, or just blue in celebration of St. Patrick.

12:21 PM Mr. Brown

I forget where they came up with green for St. Patrick’s Day now.

12:22 PM Mr. Silver

(1832 – Two days until the big St. Patrick’s day party.)

"I been tryin’ a fortnight, now.  It won't work I tell'ee!  This pub cain't color the beer blue for the party!"

"Well what kin ye be makin it, Seamus?"

"This green’s the best ye'll get, boy'o."

“The saints love ye, Seamus; green’ll be what I be wantin’ then!”

12:23 PM Mr. Silver

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Ireland

12:24 PM Mr. Blue

It’s probably easier to dye something green than it is blue.

Perhaps they tried blue but it kept coming out greener and greener (just spitballing).

Nevermind.  It looks like I’m way off.

12:26 PM Mr. Silver

On blue beer?

12:26 PM Mr. Blue

On the Irish flag.

"We’re going to have the bluest flag in the world!  ...Eh… Green is close enough."

12:28 PM Mr. Silver

Heh

 

Mr. Yellow

I really would have loved to see what Freddie Mercury would have done after 1991.

Yes, had he lived.

Mr. Yellow

Ahh, some “Die With Your Boots On”

Iron Maiden

That is the way to play D&D. If you're going to die, die with your boots on. Not hiding in the corner leaving the rest of the party that is trying to save the world fight alone to get killed.

2:51 PM Mr. Silver

Heh...We should play an "Actual human behavior" D&D game. 

(Dungeon Master) "Lunging out of the darkness is a fearsome 8' tall humanoid.  Brown skin, ugly features, all in ringmail with a big axe, bellowing at you!"

It even has a hatch so you can leave it on while going to the bathroom.

2:01 PM Mr. Blue

Strike that - it appears too small.

2:29 PM Mr. Silver

"Deep pockets for full 5ths of cheap alcohol and boxes of donuts to enjoy while crying in the dark."

2:49 PM Mr. Silver

Why a double pull front zipper?

For a human game of 'Operation'?

Zip up to expose the belly, but trap the neck...optional stick-on playing pieces...and safety razor blades!

2:53 PM Mr. Blue

"But that's not all! Order now and we'll include a gun and one bullet, free!"

 

Mr. Silver

Every time I decide no one cares about the stupid blog and I'm going to quit, I get about 16 visits.

7:11 AM Mr. Green

Heheh.

7:42 AM Mr. Silver

So now I have a backlog of stuff to edit instead of pitching it.

I'd almost resolved to just dump the blog after two posts and an equal # of lookers. 

Then WHAM!

Sigh.

So I posted, and as of this morning got one blip again.

12:24 PM Mr. Brown

Megan Fox

12:24 PM Mr. Silver

How did you know it was her?

12:25 PM Mr. Brown

Miley Sirus

12:25 PM Mr. Silver

I got 5-8(?) from Lithuania out of the blue in the past 2 weeks.

12:25 PM Mr. Brown

Borgon Shugorgon

I'm putting in stuff to try to get accidental hits.

I wonder why we keep getting foreign people hitting it?

12:27 PM Mr. Blue

Lithuania?  They have internet there?

Maybe the foreign traffic has something to do with Mr. Brown's spelling.

A Lithuanian person might actually think Miley Cyrus is spelled "Sirus".

12:28 PM Mr. Silver

Nah...I fix all that stuff unless it's funny.

12:28 PM Mr. Brown

LOL

12:29 PM Mr. Blue

I’m not sure what you attempted with Borgon Shugorgon.

12:35 PM Mr. Silver

I was thinking it was a fusion-cuisine appetizer.

Like a shumai dumpling, stuffed with Boeuf Bourguignon and Gorgonzola cheese.

12:46 PM Mr. Brown

Well it doesn't get any search results online, so I guess I made it up.

LOL

12:49 PM Mr. Silver

You did, yes

Fame and linguistic immortality is now yours.

12:51 PM Mr. Brown

Sweet sassy molassy!

Mr. Brown

My father in-law keeps saying that we are all just an experiment.

9:33 AM Mr. Silver

I kind of agree. I've discussed this with Mr. Blue many times.

Having had some...'differentiated personalities'...in my psychological past, I'm fairly free with holding multiple viewpoints of the "world".

The main one doesn't believe this world is even the real one.

This is pre-”Matrix” thinking, incidentally...I developed my philosophies myself, starting in the early 80s; I didn't pick this up from someone else.

There were clues of unreality all over.

There were obvious logical conclusions.

We are in a school...or playing a game...and none of this is actually real.

9:38 AM Mr. Brown

So when we die here, we actually do go somewhere else.

9:38 AM Mr. Silver

We are characters and have players at a higher level. We, the real “we”, already are somewhere else.

9:38 AM Mr. Brown

Right.

9:39 AM Mr. Silver

I'm not sure of the exact purpose...throughout history, and in elements of prehistory, the wiser characters suggest we are here to learn...that's why I think this is "school".

9:39 AM Mr. Silver

“Be good or go to Hell/reincarnate” they'd say. “Learn the lessons of this life and be rewarded in 'Eternity'/achieve enlightenment/Nirvana.”

9:40 AM Mr. Silver

Universe, God, Angels, souls and Earth...

The System, the Programmer, the Teachers and Pupils...and us, just the characters in the Classroom.

When your character dies, the session is assessed, you get a grade, and move up or take the class again.

9:45 AM Mr. Silver

Don't get an F!  Don't disrupt the class!  You wouldn't want Detention until you have to come back.  Suspension is worse.  Definitely don't get Expelled!

Anyway...

9:46 AM Mr. Brown

So basically it's like we are immortal.

9:46 AM Mr. Silver

Or differently mortal. How long does this school really take?

9:48 AM Mr. Brown

I kind of believe, after hearing the school/game theory, that the game will just continue to be played.

There will be no reboots in the middle of the game.

9:49 AM Mr. Silver

Eternity is a really long time...

9:49 AM Mr. Silver

Why should it reboot?  There's infinite time in both directions

9:49 AM Mr. Brown

Everybody is wanting to believe that something is going to happen in 2012 in December. A bunch of impossible stuff.

I don't believe in anything happening in December.

9:53 AM Mr. Silver

Well...it'll all happen some 2012 or another.

9:54 AM Mr. Brown

LOL

9:55 AM Mr. Silver

I am, by necessity, a believer in the Multiverse and "time"-traveling.  

     (Which is really just hopping Universes - Mr. Silver)

9:55 AM Mr. Brown

That’s true. They could have been saying it about another time in another version of the universe.

9:57 AM Mr. Silver

Yes. It's all real, sir...somewhere.

9:59 AM Mr. Brown

Maybe that is the day the true Mayans come back to this universe. They marked that as the important date when they will return.

10:02 AM Mr. Silver

Why would they return? 

10:09 AM Mr. Brown

Part of the game?

They figured out how to leave, now they have to return?

Teach us what they learned, where they went, and then we all go.

10:11 AM Mr. Silver

The classic tale: The Ascent to/Return of Heaven and all will be wonderful!

They're just memories of our Players going home when school lets out.

Mr. Brown

Anybody know where I can take my car to get it inspected and things fixed on it?

12:11 PM Mr. Silver

How about a mechanic?

12:19 PM Mr. Brown

No rip-offs.

12:21 PM Mr. Silver

No rip-offs?

This is an auto mechanic you wanted, right?

12:22 PM Mr. Brown

Just not too high-priced, basically.

12:44 PM Mr. Pink

I’m basically a mechanic. Just drop your car off after work and I'll put a new flux capacitor in it for a small fee.

12:44 PM Mr. Brown

LOL
