Mr.
Blue
Weird.
I don't get it. It sounds like something that some scientist
just made up on a whim and everyone just stuck to.
Like
with seahorses.
"That
there's a male seahorse."
"Uhh,
it's having a baby."
"…Yeah...uhh…well
the male seahorse has the babies."
"Oh."
(that's
from a Jim Gaffigan routine)
3:13
PM Mr. Brown
Yeah,
that kind of stuff is funny.
“This
sounds good, we will publish it.”
“Oh
shit, it’s wrong…just go with it.”
3:14
PM Mr. Blue
If
it's a seahorse and it gives birth, just call it the female seahorse.
3:14
PM Mr. Brown
But
what if it does have the mail parts?
3:15
PM Mr. Silver
Like
the glue, flap, and “affix postage” box in the top right corner
of the seahorse?
3:15
PM Mr. Brown
Male
LOL
Oops
3:17
PM Mr. Brown
Meaning
it has a pouch to keep them in, and the male parts too.
Then
it would just be better to call it a seahours
hores
arrrg
sea
hores
lol
3:19
PM Mr. Silver
It’s
“sea whores”, Mr. Brown.
3:19
PM Mr. Blue
Yeah,
I’m sure there's some scientific reasoning for calling it a male
seahorse even though it gives birth… It just *seems* like one of
those things that a lazy scientist came up with and nobody has since
questioned. How do you differentiate one sex from the other?
(At
this point I decide to insert some basic biology – Mr. Silver)
3:21
PM Mr. Silver
The
females lay the eggs.
The
males collect and protect them until they hatch.
Although
the image of a seahorse protecting anything, in any capacity, other
than being relatively tough to chew and camouflaged, is hard to
imagine.
3:23
PM Mr. Blue
Yeah,
they're pretty dumb.
They
*look* cooler than they really are.
3:24
PM Mr. Silver
They
can swim a blistering .0001 MPH!
3:25
PM Mr. Blue
Seahorses
just kind of bob around and bump into stuff.
I
guess not unlike a real horse.
Mr.
Gray
Mr.
Silver and I were talking about the fact that Revenge of the Sith
takes place over months of time.
1:33
PM Mr. Silver
Probably
6-7 maybe 8-9.
1:33
PM Mr. Gray
In
the beginning Padme isn’t really showing....by the end she is
giving birth.
1:34
PM Mr. Silver
(midwife
bot) "She lacks the will to live..."
(Kenobi)
"Fine...knock her out and throw her in a bacta tank for a few
days.”
(midwife
bot) "But she lacks the will."
(Kenobi)
"Oh. (goes to bed, waves hand) You want to live."
(Padme)
"I'm feeling better."
1:36
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
Yeah,
that is kind of crappy. She had been this strong woman through most
of the movie...then she just gives up? Unlikely.
1:38
PM Mr. Silver
There
was not much reason to kill her. Leia claimed to remember her
and it's not like the emperor wouldn't lie about her being dead to
use it to leash Vader anyway, plus she'd never want to see Anakin
again even if she ever made the Vader connection.
1:38
PM Mr. Gray
Yeah,
I was only able to assume that Bail's wife died early on and that’s
who Leia claimed to remember.
1:39
PM Mr. Silver
Leia
- "Just images really...she didn't look a thing like
me...neither did dad, really...why?"
1:42
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
1:47
PM Mr. Silver
Luke
- "Do you remember your dad?"
Leia
- "Yeah...he looked like Jimmi Smits"
1:47
PM Mr. Gray
Unfit
mother...married a mass murderer.
2:06
PM Mr. Yellow
Hey!
You’re talking about my character’s future wife there!
2:16
PM Mr. Silver
(Anakin in his new armor) "My
wife...hoooo-ahhhh...what about my wife?...hooo-ahhhhh..."
(Palpatine) "I'm
afraid that, in your rage...she left you for a senator..."
"NNNNOOOOOO!!!!!"
(equipment crashing)
"She
lacked the will to deal with your child-murdering."
"NNnn-
... …Yeah...hoooo-ahhhhh...that was pretty sick...ok..."
"By
the way, is there a voice control for this helmet? My voice
sounds totally weird in this thing."
"Ohh...I'm
afraid the treble/bass controls are hidden. I have no idea
where they are."
3:42
PM Mr. Silver
Darth
Vader never found the hidden Treble/Bass for the rest of his career.
"No!
Hidden Treble/Bass! Treble! …hoooo-ahhhh…How many
times do I have to tell you… hoooo-ahhhh… rebel scum I don't CARE
where your friends hang out!"
8:14
AM Mr. Silver
Oh
Japan, how we love thee:
8:24
AM Mr. Silver
(Figure
in shadows on interview show...voice altered) "Oh, it all starts
out innocently enough...lost gloves...abandoned shoes...browsing the
thrift stores for scarves and hats for 'gifts for your niece'.
But those are all just gateway small-clothes. Soon you're
craving the harder stuff..."
8:25
AM Mr. Blue
Weird
as heck.
If
the guy simply asked, he'd probably find Japanese girls that would
just hand their socks to him.
8:26
AM Mr. Silver
Yes.
He probably likes the chase though.
8:27
AM Mr. Blue
Yeah.
8:29
AM Mr. Green
It’s
not the kill, but the thrill of the chase.
8:30
AM Mr. Silver
I
can picture him suffering for days, jonesing for his next sock...maybe working up the nerve for a panty theft...
Mr.
Blue
WTF?
Weather.com's
headline is “SCARY SIGN OF APOCALYPSE?”
Underneath
- "Living Through The Apocalypse"
10:50
AM Mr. Silver
"A
new study shows 4 in 10 U.S. residents say recent extreme weather
events, like Superstorm Sandy, is evidence the world is coming to an
end. In a separate conclusion, 40% of the US population is not
too bright."
10:50
AM Mr. Brown
LOL
10:51
AM Mr. Silver
"In
the most bizarre turn, if asked a follow-up series of questions
about mankind's role in climate change and the greenhouse
effect, the exact same 40% deny that it is happening at all."
10:53
AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:53
AM Mr. Silver
"They
also listed Fox News as their primary information source and were
disappointed Romney lost the recent election because of, quote, bad
polling."
Mr.
Silver
Yesterday
I was churning through the radio and heard the voice of a
preacher I sometimes stop to listen to, because he always ends up
saying stupid stuff.
2:53
PM Mr. Silver
He
was describing the New Jerusalem in Revelations.
In
addition to interpreting it as a wedding ring that we were all going
to live in...
(me)
"Seriously?"
2:59
PM Mr. Silver
He
also interpreted the description that it was "pure gold, like
transparent glass" as
"That
means it’s made of diamond"
(me)
"It doesn't sound
like it."
“And
it says that the walls are made of jasper, and that means diamond."
(me)
"WHAT?!?!?"
3:02
PM Mr. Silver
3:02
PM Mr. Silver
Diamonds,
obviously.
3:02
PM Mr. Blue
I
love listening to that kind of schlock.
Just
when you think there couldn't possibly be anything more to say about
an ancient book, they find another way to spin it or interpret
something.
3:08
PM Mr. Silver
So
he goes on to describe this wedding ring and then is "skipping
down a few lines"...
Why
skip, do you ask?
Because
his “beautiful round band of the eternal wedding ring” is
described in detail as a perfect square in the section he skipped.
3:13
PM Mr. Blue
Lost
me.
3:15
PM Mr. Silver
I
just get irritated with evangelists not looking stuff up, skipping
inconvenient details, and pulling idiotic interpretations out of
their butts.
3:16
PM Mr. Blue
Oh,
of course.
3:16
PM Mr. Silver
On
the other hand, I find the same irritation very entertaining.
3:16
PM Mr. Blue
Well, religion *is* a business, and his product is BS.
Mr.
Silver
Hehe
Nice
last line:
(wiki
- Padme Amidala) Paul McDonald notes that there are "inevitable
comparisons" between the two characters (Padme and Leia): "both
develop soft spots for rogue pilots, and both have a knack for
slipping into and out of stilted British accents. Despite being
diplomats, each is also the best marksman of her respective trilogy,
rarely missing."
3:42
PM Mr. Yellow
LOL
3:42
PM Mr. Silver
(Anakin)
"Is it a special Force power?"
(Padme)
"Not really...one day I noticed this little V at the back of the
gun and the bit sticking up at the end and started messing around with them...here...I'll show you."
(Anakin)
"I thought those were manufacturing errors, or decorations like
the little telescopes they put on some of them."
(Padme)
"They are...those are just traditional decorations on all guns
dating back…oh...thousands of years. No one knows what they originally symbolized, but it turns out they are great for what I call a "gun-point"."
3:44
PM Mr. Yellow
*chuckle*
