Day 170 - An Adventuring Party By Any Other Name Would Still Get All The Quests In The Game, Fortunately The Republican Party Knows That All Women Will Vote For Who Their Husbands Instruct Them To, and Call The Minister Of Cosmetics

Mr. Yellow
So since we are officially an adventuring group, should we have a name?
A logo?
A brand?
Something we can market?  lol
9:27 AM Mr. Silver
"Demon Shamers"
9:32 AM Mr. Silver
Logo is a trussed up fiend, with its butt in the air getting kicked, crying.
Though my monk would probably be embarrassed to wear it.
"Although the victory was satisfying, taunting ancients of the spirit realms is neither respectful of their power nor wise in regards to our continued health."
11:06 AMMr. Yellow
Fast and Furrious Five
11:07 AM Mr. Silver
Spelled that way...ew...
11:07 AMMr. Yellow
Furious
11:07 AM Mr. Gray
An image of Vin Diesel in a bear outfit, waving a adult toy out of a speeding car's window comes to mind.....yep....ewww LOL
11:09 AMMr. Yellow
Ok, so that is out for a company name.
11:09 AM Mr. Gray
Personally I kind of giggled at the "Shamed Demon" name.
11:12 AMMr. Yellow
Faerun Fantastic Five
11:13 AM Mr. Gray
How about just "The Five"
"Sorry...we're all full up.....we already have five for "The Five".”
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
"Results"
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
"No one can help me with this situation!"
"You want "Results"."
11:15 AMMr. Yellow
Unorthodox
That is a good marketing slogan, though.
Gold Talks Bullshit Walks Adventuring Company
11:22 AM Mr. Gray
Champions of Courage (CoC) 
11:23 AM Mr. Silver
"Here come those cocs again."
11:31 AM Mr. Gray
Lords of Mystery. We can ride around in a green wagon with "Mystery Machine" painted on the side.
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
"Not Tomato Men"
11:35 AM Mr. Gray
"Monster Busters!" with a dragon with a line through it.
11:36 AM Mr. Gray
"Victory by Sheer Luck"
11:37 AM Mr. Silver
"The Random Rollers"
11:37 AM Mr. Gray
"My Dice Hate Me"
11:37 AM Mr. Green
Company of the Bad Dice.... that's not bad
11:39 AM Mr. Silver
"The Cheap Rates With Good Results"
11:40 AM Mr. Silver
"Will Work For Food"
Ok...I'll quit with those.
11:40 AM Mr. Gray
"Will Slay For Gold"
11:43 AM Mr. Green
Evil's End
11:43 AM Mr. Gray
Nah...sounds evil.
11:43 AM Mr. Green
Demon Bondage?
11:44 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
11:44 AM Mr. Green
Demon's Bondage
11:45 AM Mr. Green
The Champions of Demon Bondage
CoDB
11:45 AM Mr. Silver
That sounds like an activist group for Satanic S&M awareness.
I bet their rallies would be interesting.
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
Light In Vile Darkness
Or just drop the "vile".  Light In Darkness
"Light, like candles?" 
"More like even our unscrupulous members aren't that dark." 
"I told you no one would understand it." 
"Shh..." 
12:00 PM Mr. Gray
Lunch...no that’s not a name suggestion.
12:00 PM Mr. Green
LOL
12:00 PM Mr. Silver
I like it
"Lunch"
12:01 PM Mr. Green
The Lunch Eaters
Mess with us, we'll eat your lunch!”
12:45 PM Mr. Green
New Adventurers on the Block
LOL
12:46 PM Mr. Gray
Company of the Severed Thumb
12:53 PM Mr. Silver
Have Thumb Will Travel”
Logo is the thumb...Company name: "You Should See What We Did To The Rest Of Him"
The All Thumbs”
Nah...we'd sound incompetent.
1:18 PMMr. Yellow
Ok, The Jade Dragon
1:19 PM Mr. Gray
I’ve never seen a Jade one.
1:19 PMMr. Yellow
Well then jade is best; no one can confuse the name.
1:22 PM Mr. Silver
"So as not to offend, or associate ourselves with, any actual dragon species, we are calling ourselves the Moss Agate Dragon Adventuring Company."



Mr. Gray
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana lawmaker has accused the Girl Scouts of being a radical group that promotes abortions and homosexuality.
Sheesh
I don’t understand how these radical nutjobs get into positions of leadership.
10:35 AM Mr. Silver
Girl Scout bashing?  yeah...right...
10:36 AM Mr. Gray
'Good afternoon madam, would you like to buy a box of cookies...and have an abortion?"
That right up there with..."We've come for your liver".
11:02 AM Mr. Silver
I'm not sure how the Republicans are expecting to get any votes from any women not of the pathetic "man is master, women are servants; it says it in the Bible"-type this time around.
Who at the RNC suggested "All the hot topics have failed: immigration, gay marriage, taxes, flag burning, Christian government.  I say we go with a misogyny angle this time" and got applause?
11:04 AM Mr. Gray
Good question.
12:11 PM Mr. Silver



Mr. Silver
His lipstick, eye shadow and rouge choices don't compliment his skin tone...
12:19 PM Mr. Brown

Day 169 - Tube Misteak, They Always Return To The Scene Of The Accident They Have An Alibi For, Brown's Berries, Professor Falken Thought Of The End Of "Wargames", "Dead-Corroded Man Doesn't Strike Again", "Dark Stars Must Sit At The Back Of The Galaxy", Good Weather Comes Multiple Times If Properly Reported, The Republicans Have Officially Lost Economic Terror, and Fortunately Nobody Wanted The Rations The Watership Was Bringing When It Went Down

Mr. Brown
This whole test tube meat thing is not cool at all.
10:56 AM Mr. Gray
Test Tube Meat?
10:57 AM Mr. Brown
They are making beef in a test tube from cells from a cow.
10:58 AM Mr. Gray
Creepy LOL
11:02 AM Mr. Silver
Yum.
I don't want “tube steak”...so test tube steak is right out.
11:02 AM Mr. Brown
It's not going to taste the same at all unless they can make it walk around for a few months.
11:03 AM Mr. Silver
Ewwwww
They should make petri dish beef. 
It'll be the right shape going in for grilling.
11:04 AM Mr. Brown
LOL



11:05 AM Mr. Silver
Lunch...enhanced by police helicopter, cruiser and ambulance.
11:05 AM Mr. Gray
Wow
Exciting!
11:07 AM Mr. Silver
Despite the black coat, black hat, unshaven beard, ponytail and running...they stopped looking at me because I was jogging towards the scene.
11:11 AM Mr. Gray
"Oh, I forgot to get rid of the evidence!! I must run back!!"
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
"Excuse me?  Hi.  I was wondering if you could all step out of my girlfriend's apartment for about 20 minutes?  I need to change clothes...these have...uh...ketchup on them.  What am I going to do with these oily rags and the lighter fluid?"
11:21 AM Mr. Gray
I'm sure they'd go for that.
Understanding types they are, for sure.
11:24 AM Mr. Silver
Yup. Swell fellows.



11:25 AM Mr. Brown
Hmm. I forget what this little bug is called that I found on my black berries.
Extremely small.
Slender.
Tan colored.
I know it can't hurt me, just forget what it is.
11:27 AM Mr. Silver
A long slender aphid?
11:27 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah.
11:30 AM Mr. Brown
There was only one I saw on the one berry.
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
Are you sure you're not talking about having crabs, with heavy euphemisms?
11:32 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
No. I’m eating blackberries up here.



8:11 AM Mr. Brown
Remote viewers are saying we will be hit by a meteor in 2012 thru 2013.
8:12 AM Mr. Gray
When you look into space you are looking into the past....so it already must have happened. Its all good.
8:13 AM Mr. Silver
So...like one huge slow meteor spanning part of 2012 and overlapping into 2013? 
8:18 AM Mr. Silver
If we're all doomed, I wouldn't mind being doomed first.
8:18 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah.
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
We should blend "Wargames" and "Meteor" together to get a movie with Joshua refusing to fire nukes at the asteroid when Sean Connery asks him to.
8:20 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
8:20 AM Mr. Brown
Let's play a game first.”
We don't have time, dammit! Fire the nukes!!!!!”
But I want to play a game.”
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
Interesting thing in that A.I.
Broderick' character says early on in the movie that Joshua can only give responses that were programmed in.
So I guess Professor Falken put in a futility routine and set of responses in case the A.I. figured futility out.
8:25 AM Mr. Silver
I suppose it would have been less dramatic in the movie to have Joshua say something like:
"Greetings Professor Falken”
Out of memory error period”
C colon backslash greater-than"
And every computer geek cheering.
And General Beringer looking confused: "What the Hell is that supposed to mean?  Is that good?"



9:32 AM Mr. Blue
Morning.

You're breaking the only game, Mr. Brown?
"'You Would Never Be Able To Get Away With This, Dead-Corroded Man!' Shouts Caped Hero In Placid Confrontation!"
10:21 AM Mr. Blue
"Meanwhile in Dead-Corroded Man's Lair!" *switch to extremely close shot of maggots squirming*
10:22 AM Mr. Brown
"Dead-Corroded Man was not found at the bottom of the tank, for he used his power of corrosion to disappear!"

12:03 PM Mr. Silver
"It's feared that some astronomers in the southern United States and other places in the world might want to designate special areas of the night sky for dark-matter stars to be encountered, or not report their existence for some readers of their reports."
12:17 PM Mr. Blue
I don't get it.
12:18 PM Mr. Silver
"Dark-matter stars are worth 3/5 of a star, says racist space scientist!"
12:19 PM Mr. Blue
Ahh, race. I thought you were going there.
12:22 PM Mr. Silver
Yes, I did, in fact, go there.



2:08 PM Mr. Silver
Heheh.
2:16 PM Mr. Blue
He meant to say "bucket loads of sunshine on Gropecunt Lane"
2:17 PM Mr. Silver
Naturally.



2:26 PM Mr. Blue
"The Dow Jones industrial average crossed 13,000 on Tuesday for the first time since May 2008." 
Memo to all Republicans: Start talking about gay marriage and family values!
2:28 PM Mr. Silver
Flag burning!!!
Illegal immigrants!
Prayer in schools!
2:28 PM Mr. Blue
Abortions!
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
Good God!  Someone find a Republican gun control law and blame it on Obama, quick!



2:45 PM Mr. Blue
2:53 PM Mr. Silver
There's a reason people don't eat mutton...
2:54 PM Mr. Gray
I like lamb...I'd eat it *shrugs*
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
Lamb spiced into gyro meat, I eat...
The thing is (and my general rule is), if it's not a rare beast, but you can't find it on the shelves, it's because it doesn't taste any good.
2:55 PM Mr. Blue
I’ve had lamb twice. In a gyro, it was delicious...in a curry it was OK, but inferior to chicken or beef.
2:56 PM Mr. Gray
Maybe people have preconceived opinions and don’t give it a try.
2:56 PM Mr. Blue
So you're saying mutton’s no good?
2:56 PM Mr. Silver
I've not had it myself, but Prince Charles is the first person I've heard of that said they like it.
2:57 PM Mr. Gray
Heck that’s old school: "Leg of mutton, please!!"
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
I've heard it described as "like lamb, but stronger and nastier".
2:57 PM Mr. Gray
Probably depends on how its cooked too. A lot of meats need to be prepared a certain way.
2:57 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah.  With proper cooking and some spices, how bad can it be?
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
Like gyro meat.
I avoid lamb as gross tasting. It's dandy spiced up.
It's like the chat we had about eating a swan. Sure, people did it...it was a delicacy.  But swans are not particularly rare, so what gives?  It turns out they are hostile, dangerous, and above all they just don't taste good.  So we don't eat swan.
Meanwhile, people can't get enough chicken.
3:03 PM Mr. Blue
I’ve never had duck or rabbit, but I’d like to. I've had buffalo and Texas longhorn.
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
I've had duck a couple times. Not a favorite, but not terrible....Peking and l'Orange styles.
I recall it being a little greasy both times.  I'd do it again.
3:04 PM Mr. Gray
I'm all for trying new stuff.
3:04 PM Mr. Silver
Rabbit?  If so it was a very long time ago.
I had squirrel once...good stuff.
3:05 PM Mr. Gray
I like Rabbit...I've even tried Squirrel.
Yep. Good.
3:05 PM Mr. Blue
There can't be much edible meat on either one.
3:05 PM Mr. Gray
Not much no. Stew is best option with those.
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
It depends on the rabbit; the big meat ones are huge.
I went to a friend's place once here they were raising some.  I thought they were dogs for a second.
3:07 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
3:11 PM Mr. Blue
Good lord!
3:11 PM Mr. Gray
Yep...meaty LOL
3:11 PM Mr. Blue
Oh wait, that's a sheltie, not a collie.
Still!  Big, though!
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
Compared to a little wild bunny around here, yes.
3:14 PM Mr. Gray
Can you imagine if one of those got ticked at you and bit you with those teeth? Man....
3:18 PM Mr. Silver
Rabbits are mean fighters.
I read the research used for "Watership Down". They beat the crap out of stuff...and each other...if cornered.
3:33 PM Mr. Blue
Watership Down” always sounds like some kind of naval battle novel.
3:33 PM Mr. Silver
Hehe!
Or a failed supply delivery.
Private - "We're going to die in this desert!"
Captain "Don't panic Jenkins...the watership is coming."
Radio man "What was that HQ?  Confirm?  My God!  No!"
3:35 PM Mr. Gray
Hehe...he does have a point!
Ok...THAT made me laugh!
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Assist to Mr. Blue...I never though of it as a literal 'ship' before.
3:37 PM Mr. Silver
Sadly this came up too late, because I'm now filled with scenes, music and dialogue for the “rescue attempt” of the downed water ship.
3:37 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
Save it for tomorrow.
We can all stew on the rabbits.
