Mr. Silver
I just said to Mr. Pink that I'm so bored I can't even remember the French word for bored I pull out for days like this.
Ah...took a few minutes...ennui
Mr. Brown
So the tall whites look like us.
7:55 AM Mr. Silver
Well...last I checked I am tallish and white.
7:55 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
I'm talking about the ET's.
7:57 AM Mr. Silver
Of course. Its been a running theme for days.
7:57 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah.
8:10 AM Mr. Brown
I’m looking at a “man”-opedia now.
LOL
8:10 AM Mr. Silver

8:18 AM Mr. Brown
I could see a group of Bigfoot adopting somebody into their group if they behave anything like us, or even apes.
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
There are many examples of cross-species adoption.
It's my belief that's why lions have prides: wild dogs adopted a litter of lion kits and they grew up learning the pack structure.
They are the only pack felines, and there are not many solitary canines.
8:25 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah, that would do it.
8:27 AM Mr. Silver
I never did write that up. I've never heard of anyone else considering it in my anthropology studies.
8:27 AM Mr. Brown
It makes a lot of sense.
8:27 AM Mr. Silver
Call me a heretic, but I believe human success as hunters came from dogs too.
If you read anything about the association of dogs and humans, it's always assumed people domesticated dogs. Meanwhile canines were already highly successful team predators and humans were apparently scavengers, so it makes much more sense that humans were hanging around dog packs long enough that the dogs domesticated us.
8:28 AM Mr. Brown
It could have been the other way around!
LOL
That's why we've always have such a connection with dogs.
8:30 AM Mr. Silver
Nod. We were supported by, learned from, were accepted by, and eventually led packs of dogs.
8:31 AM Mr. Brown
I know one thing: if you run into a solitary wolf, you normally don't want to mess with it
LOL
Got to be a bad M---f er to survive on its own.
8:32 AM Mr. Silver
Nah...it's just its rogue phase.
The young male goes wandering and eventually hooks up with another pack...it reduces inbreeding. A lot of critters do that.
8:33 AM Mr. Brown
Well I know when there is a rogue lion, he usually does what he wants.
8:33 AM Mr. Silver
Yup.
8:33 AM Mr. Brown
I would think that running into a pride of lions is safer than running into a lone lion.
At least you have a chance of getting away from the pride.
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
Um...
How do you figure you'd have any chance of escape?
8:49 AM Mr. Brown
Well, you could throw off the pride's attack easier than a single lion.
He is just going to come in wild and crazy at you.
Also if you run into a pride and they have already eaten, they most likely will not try to kill you for fun.
LOL
8:58 AM Mr. Silver
Have you ever owned a cat?
(Mr. Blue arrives)
9:03 AM Mr. Silver
Hey Mr. Blue.
9:03 AM Mr. Blue
Yo
9:03 AM Mr. Silver
How often does a cat want to eat?
9:03 AM Mr. Blue
All the time.
9:03 AM Mr. Silver
(Touches nose)
9:03 AM Mr. Blue
Is that a serious question?
9:04 AM Mr. Silver
I just needed a second opinion versus a Brownian assertion..
I'll send "The chat so far".
(Sent)
9:09 AM Mr. Silver
A pride of lions has hungry members pretty much constantly. It's one reason they sleep so much...conservation of energy.
If you were to go into a pride, hopping about with a bell, shiny streamers and mouse ears on, you'd be lowering your chance of escape to about 1:1,000,000
Down from 1:999,000
9:11 AM Mr. Blue
Yeah, I would rather run into a single lion than a pride.
9:14 AM Mr. Blue
Is this kind of like when you read "lots of stuff" about buildings built for a satanic purpose, and all it ended up being was 1 stained-glass window with a star?
9:15 AM Mr. Brown
No. There was a guy on Discovery Channel.
9:16 AM Mr. Blue
So you saw 1 video of 1 person.
9:16 AM Mr. Brown
He worked his way into the pride, closer and closer.
9:22 AM Mr. Silver
How long did that foolish project take? Were they used to him for the 3-12 months those savannah film projects sometimes take?
9:28 AM Mr. Brown
It took awhile I think. He had a big stick too.
9:28 AM Mr. Silver
A big stick and brass balls, between his legs...
9:31 AM Mr. Brown
I guess having a big stick is a good way of seeming not as threatening.
9:31 AM Mr. Blue
As opposed to having a gun and being threatening. Lions can recognize guns.
9:31 AM Mr. Silver
The big stick certainly would have given a psychological edge over lions familiar with hunters.
"I want to go to Africa and try to integrate with a lion pride."
"This isn't another elaborate suicide scheme again is it? I remember the 'swimming with anacondas' project."
"... No! ... maybe..."
9:35 AM Mr. Blue
A guy taking months to integrate with a pride with a rifle-long stick in his hands isn't the same as one of us just coming upon a pride in the middle of nowhere.
9:43 AM Mr. Blue
A guy that was officially deemed to be "killed by wolves", but now they're thinking he was murdered and the body was scavenged
9:47 AM Mr. Blue
I read it years ago.. so I’m just reading it again to see what if anything was added.
9:53 AM Mr. Blue
The pictures of the "aggressive" wolves were denounced by experts.. and the family of the guy that got killed think it's too convenient that they happened to snap pictures.
9:59 AM Mr. Silver
That'd be my first play in a wolf fight, I can assure you.
(click! click!)"Ok, now show me hungry...show me hungry, baby! You want a juicy steak! Beautiful baby! Sex-y!"
10:01 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
10:05 AM Mr. Silver
The mistake was when he shifted into "Show me you're tough. You're a sexy bitch goddess! Attack me, baby! Show me how how fierce you are!"
10:31 AM Mr. Silver
"Investigators were also confused why the pair placed themselves in a dish, poured on warm water and stirred themselves, since that would make a thick meaty gravy that dogs just can't resist."
10:33 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
10:50 AM Mr. Brown
Well a big cat could have done it and not eaten him.
Cats like to hunt for fun sometimes.
10:51 AM Mr. Blue
But then drag the body 50 yards in a 3 hour span through snow and dense brush?
10:58 AM Mr. Blue
They're saying cougars aren't in the area.
12:09 PM Mr. Silver
Wendigo!
12:09 PM Mr. Blue
Too fake.
I think it'd have to take more than 1 wolf to drag him 60 yards.
12:10 PM Mr. Silver
Well...on snow helps.
Plus one wolf has been seen to take out an adult moose by itself...they aren't weak.
12:10 PM Mr. Blue
Sure, but drag him 60 yards?
12:10 PM Mr. Silver
How long did it take doing it?
12:11 PM Mr. Blue
It says the body was dragged 60 yards in 3 hours time.
12:12 PM Mr. Silver
Pff...nothing.
12:12 PM Mr. Blue
I dunno.
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
3 minutes per yard?
A minute per foot?
A slow turtle wouldn't have to sprint for that.
12:13 PM Mr. Blue
That's if the wolf worked for the whole 3 hours and dragged in a straight line, without obstacles.
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
It probably accomplished it in 5 minutes or less then rested 2 hours 55 minutes.
12:15 PM Mr. Blue
Heheh
12:15 PM Mr. Brown
A giant eagle attacked him.
Then the wolf killed it.
A bear came along moved it.
Then a coyote played with it.
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
...all in the house that Jack built.
12:17 PM Mr. Silver
It was rabbits. The wolves were trying to cover for the snowshoe hares!
12:19 PM Mr. Brown
It was the angry Badger!
...with the candle stick.
...in the lobby.
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
Oh! That would be a beautiful "Clue" variant.
12:29 PM Mr. Silver
The weapons in “Clue” always kind of bugged me.
How do you not know how Mr. Boddy (or Dr. Black if you prefer – Mr. Silver) was killed?
Professor Plum - "Four bullet holes...he was definitely killed with a Lead Pipe."
Colonel Mustard – "And slashing cuts, here and here. Signs of a ferocious struggle and blood splashed all over the Kitchen!”
Miss Scarlet - “So the killer obviously used Poison!”
Mrs. Peacock - “But my God, where could the maniac have killed him?”
Reverend Green - “Let's check the Billiard Room for clues!"
Colonel Mustard - "Mrs. White....you're coated in gore...what do you make of this poisoning?"
12:38 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
12:39 PM Mr. Silver
Mrs. White - "I rather think he was hung with a rope, Colonel. Just look at the blunt trauma."
Reverend Green - "Interesting theory...we should check that."
12:43 PM Mr. Brown
Miss Scarlet - “Hmm...There islipstick on this Wrench. Odd shade too. It was Colonel Mustard!!!!!"
12:44 PM Mr. Silver
Professor Plum - “Brilliant! I walked in on him dressing in drag just this morning. Wait...no that was Mrs. Peacock. A ha!"
Mrs. Peacock – (BANG!) “Enough! Stay back, all of you! You all think you're so clever. Well I have a loaded Candlestick here, and I'm not afraid to use it! Yes, I think it was me all right. I believe I may have throttled him with the very Knife Reverend Green is holding while I was alone in the Conservatory with Mr. Boddy. But neither you, nor me, nor anyone else will ever prove it! Not without this envelope!
