Day 182 - May Cause Rib Fractures, It Looks Bad Even In Hi Def, A Duo Of Dreadful Dreams, Don't Order The Hot Lunch, There Are No Speed Limits In The National Gallery, and What's He Doing With That Thing?

8:07 AM Mr. Brown

Looks like Gallagher suffered a heart attack.

He’s recovering.

I guess he smashed too many watermelons.

8:10 AM Mr. Silver

"Sledge-o-Matic defibrillates the heart like no common electrical device can"

8:11 AM Mr. Brown

I watched a show on Napoleon this morning.

It was showing the Battle of the Pyramids.

8:11 AM Mr. Silver

How was the reception on top of all those medals?

8:12 AM Mr. Brown

Huh

Oh, like TV reception.

lol

8:23 AM Mr. Silver

I'll paste my dream...

Mr. Silver

Speaking of getting killed this evening...

I had a dream

(I’ve been having a ton and not remembering them recently)

It has been predicted to me that I would die on a particular day at 3:33pm

It was the last half hour of the last day.

If I could get past that point of doom, the prediction would, of course, be false and I could relax and enjoy life, but as it was...well...I was understandably nervous.

7:10 AM Mr. Silver

It was all kind of a blur up to the end...I went to Amish country out in the middle of nowhere where nothing could happen. 

There was no detail about how or where I was to die...just when.

7:14 AM Mr. Silver

So it gets down to 30 seconds and everything kind of slows down.

7:24 AM Mr. Silver

I'd selected my "safe spot" in a park: blue skies, open all around, mown grass.

I walk out and start looking around...what's going to happen?  Anything?  Lightning from a clear sky?

And then I spot this thing moving in the sky.

I'm so hopped up on adrenaline that it's moving slowly, but it comes into clear view as a helicopter, and I can see the main rotor isn't moving very fast and it's coming down.

It's going to crash!

But wait...it's like...WAY over there.  It can't possibly hit me over there.

I watch it a few seconds...it's close to impact.

And then I consider a piece might be blasted off and flung into me across the field.

Oh crap!

I start backing away fast and it hits.

There's an explosion.

And I stumble off the edge of the field and crack my head off a picnic table behind me and all goes dark.

"DAMN IT!"

Mr. Green

It was the picnic table all along... heheh

7:31 AM Mr. Silver

Yup

9:07 AM Mr. Silver

Good morning Mr. Blue.

9:12 AM Mr. Gray

Wow... Irony is a b*tch

Crazy dream Mr. Silver.

I guess it was a night for it.

9:30 AM Mr. Silver

The picnic table conspired with the Dread Gazebo to finish me off.

9:30 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

...and your name wasn’t even Eric.

(Enjoy! http://www.netfunny.com/rhf/jokes/98/Jul/gazebo.html - Mr. Silver)

Mr. Gray

I had a nightmare last night that my car broke down and I was with Scott (definitely a nightmare, lol).  We were stopped at some house that was run by these two old people and they had all these retarded people there.  Once inside, they tried to lobotomize me to add to their collection. I escaped, but was limping, and Scott died because he didn’t remember the Rule on "Cardio". LOL

But I remember running to a neighbor's house...and they took me back to the old people!!  I woke up right before the spike got driven into my head, and I just remember all these retarded smiles drooling away, chanting "one of us".

I'm SOOO never eating deep fried pickles again.

Mr. Gray

I woke up and thought..."What the heck was that...House of a 1000 Retards?!"

9:16 AM Mr. Silver

That's a doozy.

9:30 AM Mr. Blue

I like the “House of 1000 Retards”

9:30 AM Mr. Silver

Woo!  Second place!

9:30 AM Mr. Gray

LOL

9:31 AM Mr. Blue

I’m still reading yours.

9:31 AM Mr. Silver

Oooo...so the judges are still out.

(grumble) The Russian judge always gives scores a point lower than anyone else....

lol

9:32 AM Mr. Blue

"House of 1000 Retards: How Rick Santorum almost won the Republican presidential nomination"

9:32 AM Mr. Gray

LMAO

9:32 AM Mr. Silver

Good ol' Ricky

9:33 AM Mr. Blue

Yours was good too, Mr. Silver.

9:34 AM Mr. Gray

I like Mr. Silver's better to be honest. LOL

9:34 AM Mr. Blue

Tie.  Have some good dreams and report back for a tie-breaker.

Try eating some old cheese just before bed.

9:34 AM Mr. Gray

Yes Sir! Do my best Sir! lol

I don’t have many interesting nightmares, usually.  

The common recurring ones are Zombie nightmares, for some reason.

9:36 AM Mr. Blue

Same here.. zombies.. dinosaurs.. hockey but I forgot most of my equipment (or my equipment keeps falling off), or I’m back in high school, even though I’m still the same age I am now.

9:42 AM Mr. Blue

I can't shake the high school repeat dreams.  And they're boring.

9:43 AM Mr. Silver

I haven't had one since I "graduated" from them.  I think I told of that joyous event in the blog somewhere already.

My only current recurring theme is wandering in malls and mall stores.

9:45 AM Mr. Blue

Malls is another one for me.

9:45 AM Mr. Silver

It usually has an arcade in it that I spend time in.

9:45 AM Mr. Blue

Endless malls with bizarro, non-chain stores.  Frequently there's an arcade with really old arcade games.

9:46 AM Mr. Silver

There you go!  We must hang out at the same one.

I'm generally not sure what door I parked at or where my ride is to meet me.

Sometimes I'm there to watch a movie that never really starts.

9:48 AM Mr. Blue

I also have travel dreams.  Sometimes I’m just heading home from like, Virginia, or wherever.  Sometimes I’m way up in the arctic.  I like the travel dreams.

9:48 AM Mr. Silver

Ah…that's the (dream) life...

I've always dreamed of world travel (in dreams).  Someday I'll just take off (in a dream) and do it!

9:50 AM Mr. Blue

I remember being blown away by foreign landscapes when I was younger; like the first time I saw a desert , or the first mountain with snow on it.  That was a big deal when I was a kid, so I think that's why I dream about it.

9:52 AM Mr. Silver

And, for some reason, you always dream of owning the places and are in some sort of uniform with riding boots.

9:58 AM Mr. Blue

No, but that would be cool.

10:29 AM Mr. Silver

Lunch

10:33 AM Mr. Gray

I'll take a soda and a sammich please.

10:59 AM Mr. Silver

That's what I had!

10:59 AM Mr. Gray

...and did you bring enough for your coworkers?

10:59 AM Mr. Silver

Getting it to you would be...unfortunate.

11:00 AM Mr. Gray

*sighs* Bastage

2:12 PM Mr. Blue

This is sweet!

They have the National Gallery in London on street view. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=national+gallery+london&hl=en&ll=51.508873,-0.127727&spn=0.000007,0.003385&oe=UTF-8&hq=national+gallery+london&t=h&z=18&layer=c&cbll=51.508847,-0.128761&panoid=tUWzpArmKdDAwZSWagPYkQ&cbp=12,106.67,,0,11.74

2:14 PM Mr. Silver

How did they get the car through the galleries?

2:15 PM Mr. Blue

Heheh

2:26 PM Mr. Silver

"And what is this piece?  It's a very modern installation for the renaissance wing.  Who is the artist?" 

"It's not an installation piece...it's where Google crashed into the wall trying to turn into the Dutch masters at 50kph."

2:37 PM Mr. Gray

So Dave, the maintenance guy, has a sign on his desk saying "MacGuyver".  I walked out and turned the sign around to face him and handed him a paper clip, rubber band, and thumb tack and said "Ok...make me a rocket launcher"

2:38 PM Mr. Blue

Hahahah

2:38 PM Mr. Gray

Hey...standards must be upheld.

2:39 PM Mr. Silver

Lol

2:48 PM Mr. Silver

Wasn't it you, Mr. Blue, that did the riff on his brother Chaz being known for making a good pot of coffee?

"No, I'm not that MacGyver."

2:48 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

Day 181 - The Consequences Of Always Being Underfoot, There Is Just No Appropriate Incentive Scheme For Some Things, Holes In The Sun & Foil On The Head, and Some Men Just Want To Watch Their Credibility Burn

1:22 PM Mr. Gray

LMAO

BERLIN (AP) — An earless baby bunny that was a rising star on Germany's celebrity animal scene had his 15 minutes of fame brought to an abrupt end when he was accidentally stepped on by a television cameraman.

Zoo director Uwe Dempewolf tells Spiegel magazine "Til" didn't suffer: "It was a direct hit."

1:22 PM Mr. Yellow

Ouch

1:23 PM Mr. Silver
"17-day-old Til, a bunny with a genetic defect, was plastered across German newspapers and a reporter's shoe on Thursday."

1:22 PM Mr. Gray

BARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) — Get a vasectomy, eat some pizza and watch some basketball.  That's the idea behind a promotion by a Massachusetts urologists group that's offering a free pizza to vasectomy patients during March Madness.

LOL

I'll pass, thanks

1:23 PM Mr. Silver
"So I get free pizza and can watch basketball on the big screen, right?" 
"Well...yes...but first you hav-"
"FREE PIZZA!  Woo!  Come on guys!"

1:25 PM Mr. Gray

LOL

1:31 PM Mr. Yellow

Sounds good to me, but not for March Madness, and not pizza.

I’d rather do it during a sci-fi marathon with free hot dogs and burgers.

Oh wait!  Chicken wings!

1:32 PM Mr. Green

Bingo!

1:32 PM Mr. Silver
Or nachos!
Something cool that doesn't involve needing to walk around for several days, and food.
Somehow none of this sounds like much of a deal.
“Vasectomy and a free thrill ride in a jet fighter!”
Nahhhhh…

1:36 PM Mr. Gray

As long as it’s not a vasectomy WHILE riding in a jet fighter.

1:41 PM Mr. Yellow

No, the surgery takes place in the back of a 4x4, racing in the Dakar Rally!

Mr. Brown

http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-03-huge-coronal-hole-solar.html

Somebody left the door open on the Sun.

Do they think we live in a interstellar barn or something?

8:37 AM Mr. Gray

Or someone shot something through it.   

What have you been up to, Mr. Brown?!

8:39 AM Mr. Brown

Um nothing.   I didn't fire a special particle beam or anything.

8:42 AM Mr. Brown

I guess I should not have refracted it through a prism.  It kind of made a bigger hole than expected.

8:51 AM Mr. Gray

I knew you'd be responsible for the death of a star sooner or later.  I just had hoped it wouldn't be OUR'S! lol

8:54 AM Mr. Silver
It looks like the scene from "2010" with the monoliths transforming Jupiter.  But with triangles.
8:59 AM Mr. Silver
"Here’s another image, this one in another AIA channel "
"Another AIA channel" must be astronomer code for "color".
Mr. Silver
I love this comment:
“Woah....crazy....does it have anything to do with cosmological alignments? I don't usually pay any attention those things, but I noticed that there are triangles forming by the alignments lately.”
9:04 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, that's correct Isaacsname...three dots in the sky do form a triangle.

9:04 AM Mr. Blue

Heheh

9:23 AM Mr. Blue

"In addition to depraving the weather, among other things, chemtrail chemicals seem to be making the air less able to support aircraft."

What?

9:24 AM Mr. Silver
Shall I translate?
"I wear a foil-hat and I'd like to totally change the subject to claim that global climate change and flight cancellations are caused by the Illuminati spraying chemicals in the atmosphere to control us."

9:25 AM Mr. Blue

That guy seems to think that solar flares are an excuse to reroute air traffic to hit areas that need more chemicals in the air (chemtrails)

9:30 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, that seems to apply.

9:31 AM Mr. Blue

95% of chemtrail believers are also sandwich artists at Subways in seedy neighborhoods.

9:31 AM Mr. Brown

LOL

9:40 AM Mr. Blue

That kind of reminds me of Ed Filke.  He was 100% convinced that the PA Game Commission was releasing "wolf hybrids" into the wild to curb the deer population, just because his "pap-pap" told him so

Mr. Gray

LOL

9:46 AM Mr. Blue

Heh

Cary and I use the term "filke" a little differently.

If you crap your pants but don't realize it until sometime later, you "filked" yourself, since that apparently happened to him once.

9:47 AM Mr. Blue

He’s also Mormon, so he's pretty much trained to believe the unbelievable.  Maybe that's the issue.

9:49 AM Mr. Silver
He had faith he hadn't pooped his pants?

9:54 AM Mr. Blue

Basically.  Then he got to work, realized he had, and had to leave on sick time.

9:55 AM Mr. Silver
"I chemtrailed my pants."

"Santorum Alienates More Voters In Seeming Non-stop Spree"
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/03/15/santorum-to-puerto-rico-if-you-want-to-be-a-state-speak-english/

11:25 AM Mr. Gray

Wow....

LOL

11:25 AM Mr. Silver
Puerto Rico isn't a state because the people that live there keep voting "no" when it comes up, Ricky.

11:25 AM Mr. Gray

That guy is such a tool.

They don’t WANT to be a state.  Heck they've considered wanting to be independent more than statehood.

“In an interview with the San Juan newspaper El Vocero the 2012 presidential hopeful said that he hoped Puerto Rico would become the 51st state of the United States, but “(a)s in any other state, you have to comply with this and any federal law. And that is that English has to be the main language.””

I don’t recall that LAW...moron.

11:27 AM Mr. Silver
There is no federal law that a state's primary language has to be English.

11:28 AM Mr. Gray

If you don’t know the country's laws...shut the hell up and get off the stage.

11:31 AM Mr. Gray

I knew we were scraping the bottom of the barrel as far the gene pool with the majority of people, but it seems those that have been getting into politics lately have no standpoint on anything rational.  They don’t know geography or general history, no concept that we are only one country in the world and don’t decide what everyone else should do, and can't even be bothered to fact-check before they open their mouths.  My God; how hard is it to use Google, really?!

12:34 PM Mr. Brown

All those guys are big-headed.  “If someone didn't vote for me, then they are too stupid to comprehend how smart I am!”

12:34 PM Mr. Silver
"Nobody gets me"
"Vote for me, because I promise you I have big ideas."
"Nobody is capable of understanding my big ideas."
12:41 PM Mr. Silver
(Feeds into reality-translator)
"Nobody understands what you blather on about."
"So far, only a small % of voters care if you have ANY ideas, big or small."
"If you can’t explain your big ideas to people willing to listen to, record, and research your every word, you can’t implement them either.”
