Mr.
Blue
So
I bought my mom a packet of pens for Christmas, and there's some
contest inside the pen packaging to win more pens... and it says
this:
“No
Purchase Necessary - Canadian residents must correctly answer a
mathematical skill testing question to win.”
Wow.
2:48
PM Mr. Silver
(Memo
to self: No gift exchanges with Mr. Blue)
2:49
PM Mr. Blue
I
didn't *just* get her some pens.
Why
would Canadians need to answer a math skill testing question to win?
2:50
PM Mr. Silver
It
cuts back on pen graffiti if the half-wits are not given more pens.
2:51
PM Mr. Amethyst
Or
they think Canadians have a surplus of pens and are about to use them
as weapons of mass destruction.
(Here's
why
– Mr. Silver)
Mr.
Silver
So
when is Pacific Rim out?
Oh...July
9:25
AM Mr. Gray
It
looks like it'll be good old classic giant monster/robot fun.
9:26
AM Mr. Silver
Yup
Utter
nonsense... I love it.
"So
you propose we make 300' robots to airlift to monster attack sites so
they can beat each other to bits and smash everything that gets in
the way?"
"Yeah!"
"How
about a big trap instead?"
"Huh?"
"You
make a giant nuclear powered bear trap for a trillion dollars less,
invest a week in bait research and use that instead."
"But
giant robots are AWESOME!"
"…
... You know what? Yeah!!!"
9:29
AM Mr. Brown
It’s
always weapons instead of traps.
lol
We
need a bigger bomb. The last one just pissed him off.
9:30
AM Mr. Silver
Do
you suppose they'll sell monster meat in the butcher section of
groceries?
"What
are we going to do with this titanic corpse?"
"Let's
cook some up and find out."
9:30
AM Mr. Gray
They
never do address how they plan to dispose of a 300' corpse. LOL
"Drag
it to Ethiopia....Them buggers are hungry. Let’s see what happens!"
9:38
AM Mr. Silver
"So
you're saying we could kill one just by launching a missile that
costs a few thousand dollars just to pump air into its bloodstream?"
"Yes."
"Get
him out of here! Right...let's look at this expensive 'giant
robot' plan again."
9:44
AM Mr. Blue
Do
the operators go inside the robots?
9:44
AM Mr. Gray
Yes
Its
always better to have that whole "Mech" thing as opposed to
remote control.
9:46
AM Mr. Blue
Did
you ever see Babel?
(Completely
unrelated except the girl in Pacific Rim is also in Babel)
9:47
AM Mr. Brown
lol
So
it’s related.
9:48
AM Mr. Silver
“She's
the Babel with the nice pair of Babels from Babel”
Mr.
Blue
I
don't know why I was allowed to watch all these shoot-em-ups at such
a young age. I remember my mom letting me have my pick of
whatever I wanted at the rental place. I usually picked 1
action and 1 horror every week.
2:11
PM Mr. Brown
Yeah,
I could watch that stuff too.
Nowadays
I think the problem is that parents don't explain them.
2:12
PM Mr. Blue
I’m
sure she explained to me at one point in time that movies aren't real
and then that was that.
2:13
PM Mr. Silver
I
never had it explained to me that I recall.
2:14
PM Mr. Blue
You
should be going on shooting sprees then.
2:14
PM Mr. Brown
lol
2:15
PM Mr. Silver
We
certainly gave that talk to Silver Jr.
2:16
PM Mr. Brown
It’s
not always a case of having to be right there, explaining. But
you have to give a good reality talk or they go off thinking they can
fly.
lol
2:16
PM Mr. Silver
I
can fly.
"Remember
it's just a story" came up for a while, but is rare now
2:16
PM Mr. Brown
I’ve
had the talks with Brown Jr. about the Bigfoot show.
He
keeps talking like Bigfoot is going to come to our house.
2:17
PM Mr. Silver
Heh...that's
a nuanced task, there.
2:18
PM Mr. Blue
Do
you tell him Bigfoot isn't real?
2:18
PM Mr. Brown
We
tell him that.
2:18
PM Mr. Blue
But
you think it is real.
2:18
PM Mr. Silver
"Well
son, the people looking are real...and the stuff they are doing is
real. But the reason they are looking is because no one has been able to
prove what they are looking for is real. HOWEVER... Even if
Bigfoot IS real, practically no one ever sees one because they like
to hide and they hide really well, so practically no one of the tiny
number of people that ever see one ever have anything scary happen.
I’ve drawn up this Venn diagram...I know you’re 4, but try to
follow me here..."
2:19
PM Mr. Blue
I’d
just say "Bigfoot is fake."
2:20
PM Mr. Silver
You
would because you are Mr. Blue.
2:20
PM Mr. Brown
I
just tell him Bigfoot is not a monster.
Mrs.
Brown says he is not real.
2:21
PM Mr. Silver
And
if real, he is an animal not a monster.
2:21
PM Mr. Brown
Right
2:21
PM Mr. Silver
And
if not real, it is a story and not a monster...
2:21
PM Mr. Brown
You
always have to give them the “I’m your parent, I will protect you
either way” talk.
2:23
PM Mr. Silver
Mr.
Brown versus the enraged 9' hair beast.
2:24
PM Mr. Brown
I’ll
do it if I have to.
lol
2:24
PM Mr. Silver
"I'll
hold it off! Run an extra 2 steps!"
3:41
PM Mr. Silver
Heh...We
were watching “Finding Bigfoot” last night. I cracked a
play on words that earned me an evil glare from Mrs Silver long
enough we had to rewind the DVR.
They
were in Washington state.
The
guys were squatch this, squatch that, squatchity squatch squatch!
Bobo
"I LOVE Washington!"
Me
"They should call it the great state of SQUATCHINGTON!"
3:43
PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
3:43
PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:43
PM Mr. Gray
I'm
so going to use that in our Rifts RPG if you ever go there.
3:44
PM Mr. Silver
Have
11' hairy dudes trying to film us in the wild.
3:44
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:44
PM Mr. Gray
"I
never believed the little hairless ones were real!!!"
3:44
PM Mr. Silver
"Gonna
try a call...see if that one responds. Bbbeeee-EEEEE-rrrrr!"
3:45
PM Mr. Brown
“They
seem to respond to female voices.”
3:45
PM Mr. Silver
Who
doesn't?
3:45
PM Mr. Brown
lol
3:45
PM Mr. Blue
"This
one responds to Patrick Dempsey shirtless!"
3:46
PM Mr. Brown
Ouch,
that was 2 inches from my nuts.
3:46
PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Just
where all conversations regarding Patrick Dempsey seem to go with
you.
Mr.
Brown
I
think one of my cacti died
3:34
PM Mr. Silver
"Lack
of water? Weird."
3:34
PM Mr. Brown
No
I think I actually over-watered it.
By
a teaspoon.
lol
3:39
PM Mr. Silver
How
embarrassing would that be?
"Well...the
autopsy conclusions are pretty sad. One less teaspoon of water
and he wouldn't have drowned."
3:40
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:40
PM Mr. Blue
Never
had luck with cactuses
3:40
PM Mr. Brown
Cacti
3:40
PM Mr. Silver
Cactipus
3:40
PM Mr. Blue
A
cactus (plural: cacti, cactuses, or cactus
3:41
PM Mr. Brown
Ahh
I
like cacti better.
3:41
PM Mr. Blue
I
had one in my bathroom. You’d think the natural moisture of
the shower running every day would have been enough, but it died.
So
the next one I watered... it still died.
3:45
PM Mr. Blue
A
cactus seems like a dumb house plant anyway. They hurt, and
they are not aromatic, and they don't grow.
3:47
PM Mr. Silver
We
have a cactus named "Bunny" my sister bought when I was
4. Not only does it seem immune to death, but it also grew from 1" to about 3.5' and split off additional cacti that
are still alive and also huge.
3:48
PM Mr. Brown
I
had a 2" cacti that grew to be 10" then I stopped caring.
3:48
PM Mr. Gray
I
have never tried to grow a cactus.
3:49
PM Mr. Blue
I
did pretty well growing pot once.
(12
years ago)
3:49
PM Mr. Silver
And
on that note...
Later,
guys.
3:49
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:49
PM Mr. Brown
A
pot?
For
flowers.
3:49
PM Mr. Blue
Yes
3:49
PM Mr. Silver
Yes,
Mr. Brown.
3:49
PM Mr. Gray
I've
heard that’s one of the hardest plants to keep alive...so, well
done! LOL
3:50
PM Mr. Silver
"I've tried over and over with this kind, but for
some reason my brother keeps finding them all dried out. He always disposes of them in a baggie for me."
Mr.
Silver
I
want magic greaves, and pants/skirts.
I
find it nigh unbelievable those are not well trod magic item
categories in D&D.
1:42
PM Mr. Yellow
Well
the Lords of Nimbral are known for making magic items like Pants of
Protection. Why make a ring when it could be pants or a bracelet or a
pin?
Bracers
of armor that look like bandages…
The
more common the item looks, the less likely it will draw attention.
1:47
PM Mr. Silver
"Is
that over-sized sombrero magic?"
"Why
would you say that?"
"I
dunno...doesn't really match the wizard robes."
"No?
(looks in mirror, poses). Maybe I need a mustache."
"Maybe."
"(Pulls
large glowing false mustache from a case and puts it on. Hat
starts glowing too) Better?"
"Ok...what
does the hat do...fess up."
"Blast!
Caught me."
2:00
PM Mr. Yellow
LOL
Enchant the mustache and get a set bonus if combined with the
sombrero.
2:04
PM Mr. Silver
The
full set: poncho, sandals, stache and sombrero.
2:13
PM Mr. Yellow
Ohhh
the powers that would unlock!
2:18
PM Mr. Yellow
Combined
with the Bandolier of Returning Daggers, 3x a day you can throw each
dagger twice in one round at your max attack bonus. That is 10
daggers in one round!
2:19
PM Mr. Silver
I
like it.
2:20
PM Mr. Gray
"No
stinking magic badges can be worn with this item set."
