Day 256 - "As Long As You're Coming We Also Have A Coupon For A Free 6-Pack Of Beer", An IQ Way Down Under, "Busted" Out Laughing, Obsession Compulsive Derp-order, "Well When We Get To 47 Let Me Know, I'm Gonna Throw Up", The Natural 1-ders Of The World, and "But When You Talk About Destruction, Mr. Blue Says You Can Count Me Out."

10:54 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
10:59 AM Mr. Blue
Nice
11:04 AM Mr. Gray
Yeah, I cant believe they didn’t check to see if he changed it, but I guess I never thought about the fact that most of that stuff is automated.
11:20 AM Mr. Silver
I believe that the credit community is scrambling at this very moment to change their SOP on such things.
That's a much better scam than the "We have a 50% off pizza coupon here" thing some guys were pulling in State College.
11:22 AM Mr. Silver
I think Mr. Pig Iron was one of them; he told me about it, at least.
The restaurant would just deliver the pizza, and the delivery guy would never check/collect the coupon, which never existed in the first place. And they did it over and over.
11:23 AM Mr. Gray
Hehe.



11:25 AM Mr. Silver
"Why yes, the family did move here from the US, why?" 
11:29 AM Mr. Gray
Wow...



11:40 AM Mr. Amethyst
I'm not sure how I got to this
11:47 AM Mr. Silver
"Myth Confirmed"
11:47 AM Mr. Amethyst
Right



11:49 AM Mr. Silver
Moronic clients need to stop overtalking us.
This VPN ticket could have been closed over 5 minutes ago, and we've only been on it 7 minutes.
God, he's awful.
12:02 PM Mr. Silver
A-holes like this seem guaranteed to magically F up stuff
12:06 PM Mr. Silver
"Actually this sort of error never happens to anyone, but Satan likes me today."
12:13 PM Mr. Silver
29 minutes for a runtime error.
What a moron.
I think his description of every detail is an adaption strategy by a really stupid man to keep himself organized.
12:15 PM Mr. Amethyst
Agreed.
12:15 PM Mr. Silver
I'm just waiting for him to tell me "I'm going to walk across the room.  I’m going to move my left foot forward and lean, and swing my right forward..."
12:16 PM Mr. Blue
Heheh
"I’m inhaling...and now I will exhale.."
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
"The walking is working fine...I'm swinging the left forward again.  I appear to be making progress across the room."
12:17 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
12:17 PM Mr. Silver
God...his brother just got on the line.
12:17 PM Mr. Amethyst
Oh boy.
12:17 PM Mr. Silver
"Well, that is a completely unrelated issue. I'll need to transfer you to-"
"Anyway, what happens is..."
"I'll need to tr-"
"So next we tried..."
“Sir, I need to tra-”
“But then we...”
It turns out this one wasn't doing the net stuff because he's not as good at it as his brother was.
12:21 PM Mr. Gray
“Is there anyone there who is good at actually listening, sir?”
12:21 PM Mr. Amethyst
“What?”
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
"Do you two have a quiet brother?"



1:12 PM Mr. Blue
1:13 PM Mr. Silver
Malcolm and I were giggling over that one yesterday.
1:13 PM Mr. Blue
I guess with tens of thousands of skyscrapers going up every year, it was bound to happen.
But I'd expect it in Calcutta or something, not Spain.
1:18 PM Mr. Blue
There are probably some places where elevators are a luxury, even in skyscrapers.
1:45 PM Mr. Silver
That doesn't seem likely.
If you have the scratch to build a skyscraper, you can put in a lift.
Perhaps the hotel in North Korea?
Does anyone even stay there?
1:46 PM Mr. Blue
Nah.  I think only the first few floors are actually safe for occupancy anyway.
It was built with crappy concrete, so I guess the rest of it is off kilter, floors and walls are uneven, etc.
1:50 PM Mr. Blue
I would think a dump like Lagos probably has lots of crappy skyscrapers with no lifts.
Companies that want to build up, but don't care how their workers get to their desks.
Maybe not 40+ stories...but 15-20.
1:50 PM Mr. Amethyst
Why are we calling them lifts?
Are we in the UK now?
1:50 PM Mr. Silver
They lift things.
1:51 PM Mr. Blue
Oy!  Wuss all this then?
1:51 PM Mr. Silver
Flat...I don't get flat.
1:52 PM Mr. Blue
Me either.
1:52 PM Mr. Silver
"Wanna come up to me cubes?"



3:07 PM Mr. Silver
Day needs to end...
3:07 PM Mr. Gray
Agreed.
I just want to get this over with, go home, and chuck dice.
3:07 PM Mr. Amethyst
Craps?
3:08 PM Mr. Gray
Well, they tend to say "crap" a lot during the course of the evening...but no: D&D
3:16 PM Mr. Silver
That's it!
Out team name!
"The Natural 1-ders"!
3:16 PM Mr. Silver
@ Mr. Amethyst – We had a set of d20 die rolls last Friday that came out 1,2,1,1,1.
3:17 PM Mr. Amethyst
WOW! HAHAHAH!



3:17 PM Mr. Amethyst
3:17 PM Mr. Gray
Wow...
"Phil Steel proposed the idea after seeing news reports of domestic spying by the National Security Agency."
Let me guess...on Fox News?
"Steel called drones an invasion of both privacy and of the town’s sovereign airspace."
The town doesn’t have SOVEREIGN airspace....the US Government does.
I swear...these people are trying to act like the Civil War never happened and don’t even realize it.
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
A town doesn't have sovereign anything.
They can have a corporate limit, I suppose.
3:20 PM Mr. Blue
They want *another* civil war, and will make up reasons to start one.
3:20 PM Mr. Gray
True
Though I DO think we need a serious government cleanup...and it may be the only way.
3:21 PM Mr. Silver
It would go about the same...the “North” in this case has all the stuff, might, wealth and brains, and the “South” has unreasonable propaganda victims with guns and ill-considered ideals who think it would go like a Call of Duty game.
3:22 PM Mr. Gray
Same lines, yeah.
It'll be divided more along Republican and Democrat lines though, I'd imagine.
The Far Right vs everyone to the Left of them.
3:23 PM Mr. Amethyst
^
3:24 PM Mr. Blue
What would be the end goals of such a war?
Gay marriage?
I ain't dying for that.
3:24 PM Mr. Amethyst
^
3:25 PM Mr. Gray
It'd be the people who want the states to control things vs the feds, like before.
3:25 PM Mr. Blue
Other people can fight over that.
3:25 PM Mr. Amethyst
Yeah, I'd prefer states have more control.
3:26 PM Mr. Gray
On one side you have the people who would get state control, outlaw gays, shove God down your throat, second-class women and minorities...all that fun Reb mess.
Versus the Feds and people like us, caught in the middle and likely fighting for the Feds just because the other side is run by ignorant nutjobs.
3:27 PM Mr. Blue
I’ll move.
3:27 PM Mr. Gray
So I agree Mr. Amethyst, but I also don't want the states-level control in the hands of the nutjobs. Catch-22. LOL
3:27 PM Mr. Amethyst
Exactly
There's good and bad to both sides. We need to fight for integrity rather than this nonsense.
("I do not think it means what you think it means" - Mr. Silver)
3:27 PM Mr. Gray
Integrity never has a place in disputes like the crap stewing in this pot.
3:28 PM Mr. Blue
My ancestors didn't survive to get me here by getting caught up in other peoples' wars.
3:30 PM Mr. Silver
Well....they survived a few though.
3:32 PM Mr. Blue
But they didn't fight.
3:32 PM Mr. Amethyst
You’re saying they were pacifists?
3:32 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah. I can't find anyone in my family tree that willingly fought in any wars. My geat uncle and great grandfather who were forced into the Wehrmacht, but they surrendered to French/American troops pretty quickly.
3:34 PM Mr. Silver
(Thak Uk Blu, 7000BC) "We have to fight the invaders or we'll all be enslaved?  What's it pay?  Food shelter and whips?  I'm in!"
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
(Gaivs Bloovs 200AD) "A cushy job on a horse in the back of the troops, then Imperial senate, a nice estate and easy living til I die?   Any chance I'd get attacked? Meh..."
3:36 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:38 PM Mr. Silver
(Heinrich von Blau 1913) "So I'm guaranteed to wait out the war in, like, Bulgaria, supervising farmers?  Do I have to wear the uniform?  Pass." 
3:39 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
3:39 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL nice!
3:40 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:41 PM Mr. Silver
(Erik Blau 1939) "Hi, are you English?  Yeah, they gave me this gun and these clothes.  I don't like loud noises...want it?  Hands up?  Hey, whatever."
3:41 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
It sounds like that's how it went.
They were sent to the French line, and the whole platoon surrendered and they rode out the war as POWs.
3:42 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:42 PM Mr. Silver
With their battle cry "Wir beenden!"
3:43 PM Mr. Amethyst
"Show me your war face!"
"eehhhh"
3:43 PM Mr. Silver
(private) "Captain!  They're charging!  Well...walking. They...all have little white flags, sir."
"Might be a trick!"
"I'm not so sure...they're just throwing their helmets and rifles down and pointing at them."
3:45 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
