Mr. Brown
Ever wonder really how magnets repel each other in a way where you can actually feel it.
11:14 AM Mr. Brown
Like I’m trying to force these magnets together and they are repelling and I can really feel it.
11:32 AM Mr. Silver
I think about magnets and such more than one might think.
If I'd had the math skills, I’d probably be in an energy research lab now.
Unfortunately, I have been cursed with a dash of dyscalculia and am stuck here.
11:37 AM Mr. Brown
I like the whole repulsion part of it.
11:45 AM Mr. Brown
I've got magnets over here I’m playing with.
I just like making them go together when they don't want too.
11:46 AM Mr. Silver
Do you whisper "Take it, bitch" to them?
11:49 AM Mr. Brown
No lol

11:51 AM Mr. Brown
They are thinking magnetism is why there is gravity, along with rotation, and they still don't know if that is right
because they still don't understand magnetism.
lol
11:54 AM Mr. Blue
I think we understand magnetism fairly well.
I think gravity we don't quite understand.
11:54 AM Mr. Silver
Bicycles...Science doesn't understand bicycles...
Everyone thought they did til a team systematically eliminated everything that was thought to keep them up.
And the new test bicycle they built still stayed up.
"Ummm..."
11:56 AM Mr. Brown
That's cause gravity is a freaky M****F***er.
11:57 AM Mr. Blue
Like Rick James

22 light years away, you'd feel quite heavy, and you get to enjoy red sunny days at an average temp of a balmy

1:26 PM Mr. Silver
There's only a few things I generally care about in Summer Olympics, truth be told.
I thought one would be fencing until I finally got to watch them one year.
1:30 PM Mr. Silver
Fencing seems to have been reduced to 2 seconds of pose and then a light comes on.
NOTHING nearly as fun as fencing in-the-round in the SCA
1:46 PM Mr. Blue
Rowing’s OK I guess.
I prefer the Winter Olympics for hockey.
1:46 PM Mr. Brown
I like winter also.
1:54 PM Mr. Silver
I like it better for a lot of sports
Summer "Let's watch a guy run for a while."
Winter "These guys are hitting 75 MPH sliding on their butts!!!"
Summer "He's swimming again, but for a longer distance this time."
Winter "HOLY F! He's like 100' high off that jump!!!"
You can hear the heavy metal guitar grind and savage drum beats on a ton of Winter events. Summer has piano and brass/woodwind music.
1:58 PM Mr. Brown
The swimming is probably the only thing I watch in Summer games.
Oh, and women's soccer and volleyball.
LOL
1:59 PM Mr. Silver
Summer "To qualify, these girls have to make the smallest splash possible."
Winter "To qualify, these maniacs have to make a triple flip and turn before hitting the target area with STICKS stuck to their feet!!!"
Summer "He has to throw the stick, frisbee and ball as far as he can." (kudos to the hammer throwers though - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnHUAc20WEU&feature=related)
Winter "OMFG! The guy has to cross country ski 2-mile-long circuits and then take 5 shots with a sniper rifle with his heart beating at 115 and his eyes so teared up he can barely see! FOUR TIMES!"
2:07 PM Mr. Blue
Speed skating can be pretty nasty. When they wipe out, they usually get pretty cut up from their blades.
2:09 PM Mr. Brown
Summer: Beach volleyball - watch tight asses and boobs jiggling. Oh wait, I like that.
Next.
LOL
Winter: Curling - hurling a stone down the ice to hit other big stones. AWESOME!!!
2:10 PM Mr. Blue
Curling is relaxing to watch.
2:10 PM Mr. Silver
Strangely, it's a huge crowd-pleaser. I think it's the suspense that comes from the precision versus the low speed.
2:11 PM Mr. Brown
I know. I don't understand why I love it so much, but I get glued to the screen when its on.
2:12 PM Mr. Blue
I don't like weightlifting things, because generally the chances are high of seeing some guy's arm snap in half.
It happened twice at the 2008 Olympics.
2:42 PM Mr. Brown
They should have Olympic football.
I would watch that. That would be crazy.
2:43 PM Mr. Silver
They do...
Only us yanks call it “soccer”.
2:45 PM Mr. Silver
I was thinking about that yesterday; "football" is such a terrible name for the (US) sport.
2:46 PM Mr. Blue
Yes. It should be American Rugby or something.
2:46 PM Mr. Silver
Goonball would be better...anything.
Eggball
Pigskin
2:46 PM Mr. Blue
Ovalball
Football is lame because of how many of the players are just drastically out of shape, and because of the high number of convicted felons and jerks in general.
2:49 PM Mr. Silver
Prolate Spheroid Ball!
2:49 PM Mr. Blue
They wanna do something to help the sport, call it Smashball or something.
2:49 PM Mr. Blue
If it were me, I’d just call it “10 minutes of action and 3 hours of replays, commercials and analysis”
Football is just ridiculously slow-paced.
2:52 PM Mr. Silver
I still like my idea for a whole football channel devoted to showing the games 30-60 minutes later, but with all the filler and pauses cut out, and shown in slow mo and set to dramatic music.
And some announcer guys making gravelly voiced "this is awesome" commentary over it.
All the bloody documentaries are like that.
2:53 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
I still wouldn't watch it.
2:54 PM Mr. Blue
I'd like an NHL-for-adults channel where there is no commentary and all of the on-ice mics turned all the way up, so all you hear are players screaming and swearing and general on-ice chatter
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
(Typical nothing football scene, read ultra-dramatically in documentary slow mo) “Then, in some 1975 game against another team, this guy threw the ball and somebody caught it. It was a glorious display of fundamental game components. It was the most amazing play ever made in the 4th quarter of that game."
"5 minutes later, he threw the ball again, and the guy that caught it ran really far and got as far as a line, like, almost 50 yards away, but didn't score because someone on the other team stopped him. Incredible..."
"They were feats of prowess never to be seen again in football, until the game that started later that day on the west coast. It was the end of some dream or something for these guys pictured here...looking upset and swearing in slo mo."
"But their names remain legends...Smith...Jones...Johnson...Williams...Brown...Football will always remember them...in statistics charts...and “big fact” books...and slo-mo documentaries used as filler every playoff season."
3:36 PM Mr. Brown
I wonder what it would be like for me as president.
lol
3:38 PM Mr. Silver
"My fellow Americans...the Sun must be conquered. By the end of my term, I want NASA to shoot an object through the Sun and have it come out the other side. It's a mandate for humanity."
3:40 PM Mr. Brown
On this day we will put a man through the Sun.
Mr. Brown
Got Brown Jr's two-year pictures. He got to wear his Spiderman shirt.
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
Cute
8:11 AM Mr. Brown
The only way to get him in the tree was by me going in first, and the only way to keep him in the tree was give him sticks.
8:18 AM Mr. Brown
It's really funny what you can get a kid to do if you give him a couple sticks.
LOL
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Sticks are magic. One of my prized shamanic possessions is a mere "stick".
8:30 AM Mr. Silver
How often have you gone out, run across a "nice one" and carried it around to walk with, swing & poke at things?
Or idly peel the bark off, as if prepping it for something, or like you are planning to keep it forever.
8:30 AM Mr. Brown
Yes, I always look for a good stick for sword fighting when I’m in the woods.
8:32 AM Mr. Silver
I have difficulty believing it's not been a universal (mostly) male thing for thousands of years.
100s of thousands, maybe.
You go out...you take your stick.
8:33 AM Mr. Brown
Yes, you can pretty much defend against any animal with a stick.
8:33 AM Mr. Silver
We know about stone culture in archeology because they last, but early stick culture is practically gone from the record.
However, anthropologically, there are parts that are completely ingrained.
Take the classic “magic wand”...
Some anthropologists from the large “don't get laid much” school would call them sexual symbols of potency (You might be amazed how much stuff that school thinks is sex related. Freudians should study how they got so screwed up).
However it's just a stick, though it's “a god's stick”.
A man ventures out into the wild and takes a stick to poke at things.
But a shaman ventures out into the spirit world and has a god stick to poke at the universe.
8:36 AM Mr. Brown
Every time I see a stick, I’m looking for strength and pointiness.
It's a defense thing.
8:36 AM Mr. Silver
Nod. You don't even have to think hard to just know which stick is "good" or not. Who trained you in the battery of criteria you have for a stick? No one. You just know. I find that very interesting.
Mr. Brown
I watched this again last night: "Code of Silence"
10:16 AM Mr. Blue
I think I’ve seen all the early Norris films, but I don't recall that one specifically.
10:16 AM Mr. Brown
It's not bad; normal Chuck awsomeness.
He's kick butt by himself.
10:17 AM Mr. Blue
I enjoyed “Missing in Action”...as a kid.
10:22 AM Mr. Brown
I hate the Chuck Norris trench coat films.
10:23 AM Mr. Silver
I wasn't aware of them.
10:24 AM Mr. Blue
Me either.
10:26 AM Mr. Silver
"Yeah, they're weird...they all just kinda from the point of view of a ninja, following him around in the dark, hiding behind stuff and filming him on a handheld camera. Chuck just walks up to "bad guys" I guess, just walking down the street...then he opens the trench coat and they run off. A guy I know showed them to me."
10:28 AM Mr. Brown
I like loan wolf mcquad
10:32 AM Mr. Silver
Loan Wolf!
10:32 AM Mr. Brown
Lone
LOL!
10:33 AM Mr. Silver
"I'm in big trouble man...I borrowed a sheep off this hairy guy and now he wants it back, with another one for interest! I don't got 'em! He says he's gonna break something if I don't get him the sheep by tonight, man!"
BTW it's “McQuade”.
