Day 273 - H.P. Lovecraft's "The Popcorn Out Of Oklahoma", "Time Bikini", The Film Clearly Derives From A Derivative Derivation, A Minimal Swarm, The Gamers Quickly Solve The Mystery, and "Rainman Over The River Kwai"

Mr. Brown
2:40 PM Mr. Silver
"The corn can be used to make flour or popcorn, although it is not recommended to eat it straight off the cob."
"What happens if you eat it off the cob?"
"Remember that scene with Violet Beauregard in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?"
2:41 PM Mr. Brown
Yes!
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
"The Courn out of Space"
2:42 PM Mr. Silver
"What colour is the corn?"
"Hell, I dunno...it's kinda...everything."
"Red? Blue? Green?"
"Yeah, all them."
"AMAZING!  Must be alien!"
"Uh...I just ain't good at describin'.  I got a picture of it if you wanna-"
"PROOF OF ALIENS!!!"
"Like...Mexicans?"
"What other strange properties does it have?"
"Wull...it shines, and it pops up good.  I'm tellin' you, if you wanna see wh-"
"It shines in the dark and explodes!  My God!  What hath thou wrought!?"
"He rotted some corn, I guess.  Mister, you're passin' strange, even for city folk."
2:49 PM Mr. Silver
@Mr. Blue - Clever spelling, BTW...took me a few seconds to get it, but I was rolling by then.
2:52 PM Mr. Blue
;D
Mr. Brown
They only ever used it for flour, I believe.
So they never really made a variety to just eat off the cob.
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
Who?
2:55 PM Mr. Brown
I think the native Americans.
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
It doesn't seem likely.  I thought they popped it too.
2:58 PM Mr. Amethyst
Mr. Silver is right, they did pop it.
Just another way to preserve it.
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
I wonder who figured that out.
2:59 PM Mr. Blue
It was probably an accident.
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
Dang it Running-With-Snakes, you put the fire to close to the field again.
Wait. What's that sound? Whats all this white stuff?
3:00 PM Mr. Amethyst
They probably burned the trash and the cobs had a few kernels left. Pop!
3:01 PM Mr. Blue
“Evidence of popcorn from 3600 B.C. was found in New Mexico, while even older evidence was found in Peru.”
3:01 PM Mr. Brown
Well, potato chips were an accident too.
(No, potato chips were clearly an “On purpose”. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Crum – Mr. Silver)
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
"Bowls with a few unpopped and burnt kernels were found set on comfortable seats in front of cave paintings."
3:03 PM Mr. Blue
It's a smart idea.
"How do we take these small kernels of sustenance and increase their size by about 8 times with minimal time & effort?"
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
Well...between popping for 3-4 minutes to make corn edible...and grinding kernels between rocks for hours and destroying your joints.
Popcorn as a discovery is fantastic.
3:12 PM Mr. Silver
Eating it fresh is great too, of course, but if you have to store it and want to eat fast...win.
You don't have the teeth wear either.
See, it turns out it that when you stone-grind grain, the flour has something called stone in it that grinds up your teeth.  Who knew?
3:14 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
Sandpaper flour.
3:15 PM Mr. Silver
Its one of the ways an archaeologist can roughly figure out the age of a person's skull...how bad the teeth are worn down based on local diet.



Mr. Brown
11:46 AM Mr. Brown
I like how on those book covers they put bikini clad women. Like that's how they were caught.
LOL
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
It must have been.
11:47 AM Mr. Brown
I’m in a dinosaur infested place in my bikini. Oh no he sees me running!
These book covers look like the start of bad porn films.
LOL
11:48 AM Mr. Silver
Or a bad B-movie from the 70s-80s.
11:48 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah. LOL
Planet BABES
They are more advanced than us yet they only wear bikinis. Hmm.
11:50 AM Mr. Silver
"Busty Bikini Babes in the Big Bad Bod-aceous Era of a Billion BC!""
11:50 AM Mr. Amethyst
“Bouncing”
After babes.
11:51 AM Mr. Silver
(looking at poster) "Think this is one of those sexploitation movies?" 
"I dunno.  Let's check it out."
I like this title...let's film it.
"Title editing by Mr. Amethyst"
11:53 AM Mr. Amethyst
Awe yeah!
11:53 AM Mr. Brown
"TIME BIKINI" - An unsuspecting blossoming blond scientist, working on a new bikini to help women everywhere, is transported back in time when she accidentally invents a bikini time machine.
11:53 AM Mr. Silver
This film is getting better.
11:54 AM Mr. Brown
She spends half the film naked cause the bikini fell off and she is trying to get it back from the dinosaur that has it stuck in his teeth.
11:56 AM Mr. Brown
She also spends the naked part of the film evading neanderthal man, because this is not a real science film.
12:05 PM Mr. Silver
Well, she'd need both top and bottom to control the Time Bikini, so she'll have to lose the top or bottom or both throughout the whole film until the end.
12:22 PM Mr. Brown
We should rename it Debbie Does Dallas Again
LOL
(That film already exists – Mr. Silver)
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Debbie Does Dinosaurs?
But no...I like the current title.
This film must be made!



8:37 AM Mr. Blue
I watched Wall-E yesterday.
It was good, but sad, which I guess I expected.
People on IMDB were complaining it ripped off 2001?  I didn't see that, but it certainly seemed influenced by Silent Running.
8:38 AM Mr. Silver
There was no relation in any way to 2001
It's not like an intelligent computer is new and Wall-E's didn't want to kill anyone.
“Tron is totally a rip off of 2001!  Doesn't everyone SEE this?!?”
8:42 AM Mr. Blue
Someone else on IMDB called it "Pixar for people that hate Pixar"
I also watched The Wave. It's based off a TV movie from the 80s which itself is based off a high school experiment from the 70s
8:44 AM Mr. Silver
Weird
8:44 AM Mr. Blue
Kind of a "see how quickly a group of human beings can devolve" scenario.
9:11 AM Mr. Silver
Can't you see how The Wave rips off Wall-E?!?!
9:14 AM Mr. Blue
The Wave is a rip-off of Triumph Des Willens, what with all the German speaking.
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
Nay!  it's a rip off of Birth of a Nation!
9:15 AM Mr. Brown
A rip off of The Brave Little Toaster!
9:15 AM Mr. Silver
Birth of a Nation is ripped off of Edison's 'The Sneeze"!
9:16 AM Mr. Blue
Everything is a rip-off of Warhol's “Empire”, what with the cameras and the filming and all that.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
Right...like having a Best Boy is SO original.
Morning Mr. Gray.
@Mr. Gray -
"Be aware that some reviews on IMDB come from people who have no critical perspective talents."
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
Most are nonsense, but I thought the 2001 complaints were particularly bizarre. Most of the time I check IMDB after watching a movie just for the hilarity.
9:26 AM Mr. Blue
Someone suggested that the wave was about Cbama, even though it came out in 2008.
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
"The Black Hole" = Disney's rip off of 2001, with lasers.



Mr. Yellow
I am so creeped out right now.
A frickin' swarm of roaches poured out of a firewall.
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
Ewwww
11:34 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes, and I have a mild to moderate phobia of bugs
I am going to lunch then spending as much of my time outside today.
We are getting the placed bug bombed tonight.
*shiver*
12:31 PM Mr. Gray
Hehe.....I didn’t know he had a phobia of bugs *plots bug swarm for next D&D game*
12:47 PM Mr. Blue
*actual* roaches? or just those water bugs that look like roaches?
12:48 PM Mr. Gray
I bet he couldn’t tell cause he was too busy jumping on a chair and screaming like a girl.
12:48 PM Mr. Silver
He didn't say.
"Swarm" = 1 bug.



2:38 PM Mr. Brown
2:42 PM Mr. Silver
(Mr. Gray and Mr. Silver look) "Druids..."
2:44 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
2:44 PM Mr. Gray
LOL



2:48 PM Mr. Brown
2:50 PM Mr. Blue
The Thai-Burma railway was a real horror show.
It's not well known in the US because I think most of the POWs were from the British Empire.
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
"I'm an excellent engineer...yeah.  Definitely good running the Thai-Burma.  UH OH!  Time for torture.  Time for torture.  Yeah...."
3:05 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
"Rain Man in history" has lots of possibilities.
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
"I got the job from the Japanese...yeah...definitely the Japanese..."
"Hey!  Listen, Raymond!  The Japanese?  SUCK!"
"You should keep shooting the guards...yeah...lotta bullets left...lotta bullets..."
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
"Three thousand four hundred and ninety...two bullets."
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
I buy my underwear in Tokyo. Definitely Tokyo.
3:10 PM Mr. Blue
"Uh oh! 15 minutes to war crimes tribunals."
3:13 PM Mr. Blue
"My dad lets me drive slow on the death railway."

Day 272 - Dreams Of The SS Sultana II, Mr. Brown Seems Briefly Hip, The USA Needs To Establish An America, Alien Ant Hills, "Doing Debbie On 72 Cents A Day", Pirates Of The Alpine Main, and Some Evidence Of What Dan Wants

Mr. Gray
12:13 PM Mr. Blue
Let’s build a Hindenburg replica too!
And rebuild the Tacoma Narrows Bridge!
12:14 PM Mr. Gray
I'd like to see more Zeppelins, actually.
Air travel in comfort.
12:15 PM Mr. Silver
Can we have all three crash onto the Adrea Doria II?
12:18 PM Mr. Blue
Replace modern concrete dams with earthen replicas.
12:19 PM Mr. Silver
I agree.  They’d be much better for the environment after everything downstream is washed away. 
(Ok, I'll explain this one's title. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Sultana - Mr. Silver)



8:38 AM Mr. Brown
cool femisits topless jump on run way
grab one of the models by the arm try to lift her dress yelling stuff
the modle punches her square in the nose
8:41 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Brown, was that “beat” poetry?
8:42 AM Mr. Brown
Huh?
8:43 AM Mr. Silver
Picture a smoky room, coffee drinkers in black clothes, a bass strumming, bongo drums, perhaps some flute. Mr. Brown steps out of the shadows and up to the microphone.
“cool feminists
“topless
“jump on
“run
“way
“grab one of the models by the
“arm
“try to lift her
“dress
“yelling

“the model
“punches her

Mr. Brown fades back into the shadows.  Everyone starts snapping their fingers
8:43 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
I did not see that til you said something.
LOL
That would work.



Mr. Silver
7:56 AM Mr. Green
Wow... How can people that dumb still exist in the 21st century?
7:58 AM Mr. Silver
I don't know.
I was wondering about the possibility of a reservation for them, or a purge.
7:59 AM Mr. Green.
Purge... Definitely in favor of a purge.
7:59 AM Mr. Silver
"We don't care where you go but you can't stay here."
8:06 AM Mr. Silver
"One of your options is to move to "America".  Basically we've taken an area of the United States of America - what our country is actually called if you'd paid attention in school - and set it aside for people like you.  You can move to “America” and stay there and do whatever you want, including loving it.  Leaving it would be pending a psychological review."
8:31 AM Mr. Blue
"Freedom Camps"



Mr. Brown
I was reading a lot about types of aliens yesterday. Almost all them live underground on Earth.
9:38 AM Mr. Brown
It makes me think; how could that work and why can't people come up with better ideas?
9:38 AM Mr. Blue
That way we can't see them.
Its the perfect cop-out.
9:38 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah, but if it was true, how do you have aggressive lizards and 12 ft aliens living under the same ground? LOL
9:40 AM Mr. Silver
This is rather a lot of underground on this planet.
I've always wondered where the people who dig these mountain cities for aliens were putting all the rock and clay while no one was noticing.
9:40 AM Mr. Amethyst
Yeah, Mr. Brown
9:41 AM Mr. Blue
They vaporize it.
9:41 AM Mr. Silver
"Hey Ned.  Was there two mountains there before?”
“Didn't think there was. Gimmie a Bud.”
9:49 AM Mr. Silver
(CAT man to Exxon man in the middle of nowhere, stuck at odds at a crossroad) "So...you just happened to get an order for 4 million gallons of diesel to just be dropped off in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming...exactly where we were to deliver all these heavy excavating vehicles?"




10:23 AM Mr. Silver
So...late the other night...
I found and watched a classic film after remembering a strange "Dog of the Week" review on "At the Movies" with Siskel & Ebert.  And I learned a bit of classic film trivia for you that may serve you one day.
Debbie, in fact, does not do Dallas.
10:25 AM Mr. Brown
She was just there?
10:25 AM Mr. Silver
Dishes yes...I found that out in college.  But not Dallas.
10:25 AM Mr. Silver
She was never in Dallas.
10:26 AM Mr. Amethyst
Poor Dallas!
10:26 AM Mr. Silver
Or Texas.
10:26 AM Mr. Brown
Oh dang!
10:26 AM Mr. Silver
The whole thing was about bus fare and hotel costs.
I was thinking we'd run across a character named Dallas before the end...no such luck.
10:31 AM Mr. Silver
It could be titled "Debbie and Her Friends Accept Jobs That Don't Give Them Paychecks"
10:32 AM Mr. Brown
You can't even read about it on wikipedia here.
lol
I was going to read the story line.
10:34 AM Mr. Silver
Wanna hear it?
10:34 AM Mr. Brown
So they are just trying to make money to get to Dallas?
10:34 AM Mr. Silver
Yes.
10:34 AM Mr. Brown
But fail.
10:35 AM Mr. Silver
No. Success is implied.
She got a tryout for the "Texas Cowboys" cheerleaders (lord knows why, they were all awful cheerleaders and "16") and they all want to go support her, but they don't have the money.
So they all "form a company" and get jobs so they can pool their resources.
10:38 AM Mr. Silver
The jobs apparently don't pay...well...anything, on reflection.
After a couple weeks, they apparently still can't afford bus tickets and a hotel night.
10:42 AM Mr. Blue
There's an actual plot to “Debbie Does Dallas”?
Where's it taking place if not Dallas?
10:43 AM Mr. Brown
In the 70s, it was a good plot.
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
It turned out that for a flash, a touch and a kiss to the boobs, Debbie can get $40.
"But Debbie...that's more than a 3rd of what we made so far."
Me "WHAT!?!?  How much are all these girls getting paid?  There's like 8 of them!?!"
10:45 AM Mr. Brown
Do the math ladies.
10:45 AM Mr. Silver
All 8 had made, what, $10 each at work?  And they're "16" so it's not like they're blowing anything on food and rent.
Hehehe
11:12 AM Mr. Silver
This is a lesson for you girls just starting out...hold out for a full 10 cents an hour.
Work hard, and come raise time, you might get 2 cents more instead of 1!
11:16 AM Mr. Silver
Anyway, they sell themselves for basically $10-25 each for the rest of the movie to have it on with guys that look like Howard Stern from his younger scenes in “Private Parts”.
11:16 AM Mr. Blue
Heh
(For anyone who cares, the minimum wage in 1978 was $2.65 - Mr. Silver)



3:40 PM Mr. Blue
3:40 PM Mr. Silver
Saw that.  Cool
3:41 PM Mr. Blue
I'd have kept some at least
3:42 PM Mr. Silver
(Captain Kidd) "Arrr...the Crown will never find it up h'yere, lads.  Weigh the anchor!  Prepare to precipitously tumble off!"
3:42 PM Mr. Blue
lol
3:43 PM Mr. Brown
Ice pirates!
3:44 PM Mr. Blue
(sings) "15 men on a receding glacier!"
3:45 PM Mr. Silver
"How'd he get the Adventure Prize up there anyway?"
"Well...it was a pretty rainy year."



9:53 AM Mr. Silver
"There's only 8 messages in there but none of them will delete...2 read and 6 unread.  It's all porn and matchup junk.  I don't want any of that sh-!" 
"Yet you opened 2 of them, Dan..."
"..."
9:53 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
