Day 229 - A Real Chicken Shit, Lincolnshire Sausage White Sauce Over Bickies, The Suns Got In The Gunner's Eyes, A Very Haute Couture Hat, "It's A Small Award After All!", and Too Addicted To Deadly Sins To Enjoy A Vice Or Two

Mr. Amethyst
So I’m pooping, and Burke comes in, sees my boots and says "That you, Amethyst?"
I said yeah, and he says "With my luck it'd be someone else who's shy about the bathroom."
I replied "They have PTSD....post traumatic shit disorder."
I thought he was gonna die.
10:29 AM Mr. Blue
You should have been, like, "no".
10:29 AM Mr. Silver
"No one in here but us chickens."
"You sound like Amethyst."
"The rooster is a mimic."
10:29 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
10:30 AM Mr. Amethyst
Doppleganger chicken.
10:30 AM Mr. Silver
Were-Chicken!
Chickenthropy.
"Even a man who is pure of heart can become a chicken when the chickweed blooms...and...you know...he's, like, alone in the dark or nervous pooping in a public bathroom or something."
10:33 AM Mr. Gray
LOL



Mr. Brown
This link is from a conversation over here that Mr. Blue had about asking for biscuits and gravy in Scotland.
At a KFC
And getting looked at funny.
9:53 AM Mr. Silver
Eww...cookies with brown sauce?
9:56 AM Mr. Blue
Whatever they call actual rolls over there? They didn't sell them either.
9:56 AM Mr. Silver
Like quick-bread biscuits?
(I was so skeptical that I Googled the UK KFC menu...there are no “biscuits”? Holy smokes! I mean, granted, they can be dry and all, but with a nice dose of butter/jam, they change from inedible [true] to lovely! I assume Tolkien's “cram” was based on an experience with a butter-less American biscuit in WWI. Here. [http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-biscuits-135930] Super simple compared to a lot of recipes. Ignore the rolling-out/cutting BS. Just hand-divide the mess into ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16 balls, pat down and bake. [Yes, a lot will stay on your hands...don't panic] Split and butter them hot. - Mr. Silver)
9:57 AM Mr. Brown
I could have say I want sea biscuits and gravy.
9:57 AM Mr. Silver
Hardtack?
Hehehe
9:58 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
LOL
Soften it up a bit with gravy.
LOL
(Me again...”Sausage gravy”. White sauce with sage pork sausage crumbled in it: http://www.food.com/recipe/sausage-gravy-14911.  An old friend used to tell me that, when he was in the army and knew he'd have to work hard all day and needed the energy, he'd order a stack of biscuits covered in gravy and it would keep him going all day. This is the stuff. - Mr. Silver)
10:00 AM Mr. Silver
"Good morning sir!  What would you like for brekkies?"
"About 25 minutes and the use of your kitchen."
10:03 AM Mr. Blue
I was telling Scott that I was sick of getting just a raw slice of a tomato with my breakfast.
Beans? OK, I get it. Black pudding? Sure, why not. A fuckin' gross tomato? No more.
10:03 AM Mr. Brown
I would love Marmite on some toast and biscuits.
LOL
10:06 AM Mr. Silver
Not a tomato man, eh?
10:06 AM Mr. Blue
Sun-dried tomatoes are OK. Tomato sauce and ketchup are fine.
Just plain ol' tomato is just...I dunno.  It's not like they're bad. They just taste like nothing to me.
10:07 AM Mr. Silver
Like many other things, there are all kinds of tomato, and some aren't very good.



9:31 AM Mr. Brown
Now that makes you wonder: did he base it on true science for the movie,
or did he pull it out his butt?
(George Lucas, “Star Wars” – Mr. Silver)
'cause I don't think we had found anything like that at the time of the movie.
9:34 AM Mr. Silver
"Death Star pictured here, missing a shot at Tattooine"



Mr. Silver
My dream was rather dull.
All I recall is that I had a hat on that was about 10' tall. 
It had no brim, and had no top...so essentially it was a big tube.
10:35 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
10:35 AM Mr. Silver
And it was raining, so my head was getting wet even though I had a hat on. 
10:35 AM Mr. Blue
"The least effective hat ever! Lets out heat and funnels all rain/debris right onto the top of your head!"
10:39 AM Mr. Blue
That might be a unique business idea: the "worst apparel company ever".
Pants with no waist so you gotta hold them up.
A shirt with no sleeves so you gotta walk around like a mummy.
10:39 AM Mr. Brown
Buy our rain coat! It will stop absolutely no rain and make you wet!
10:41 AM Mr. Silver
Thus a "rain" coat
"The Literal Clothing Company"
10:42 AM Mr. Brown
"Is it winter outside? Well, here in useless apparel, we have the best winter jacket ever. You will experience full winter weather when wearing this coat. Feel the cold air and the wet snow on your skin!"
10:42 AM Mr. Blue
"Cumbersome 10' hat that looks awful, is very expensive and serves no purpose."
Sunglasses that basically direct sunlight right into your cornea.
10:44 AM Mr. Brown
Or just glasses that have no lenses, but are shaped like the sun!
10:45 AM Mr. Blue
Shoes that are just old sandwich bags...$25.
10:46 AM Mr. Brown
"Try our designer watches. Be late for everything!"
"With our watches, they will watch you be late."
10:52 AM Mr. Brown
"Look wonderful wearing our swim suit", except it will be a real suit to swim in,
Or a suit that just has the word “swim” printed all over it.
11:10 AM Mr. Silver
I pictured a cowboy hat that was a little saddle belted under your chin with a small cowboy riding on top
11:10 AM Mr. Brown
LOL



Mr. Gray
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An attorney says a disabled man was awarded $8,000 by Disneyland after the "It's A Small World" ride broke, stranding him for a half hour while the theme song played continuously.
LOL
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
Nod...we were on that one before you came in.
12:14 PM Mr. Gray
OH
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
Pft...the ride is already 10.5 minutes long and popular enough that you have to listen to the tune for a long time waiting in line. 
12:14 PM Mr. Gray
I would love to walk up behind that guy and start singing it and see how bad he freaks out.
9:01 AM Mr. Blue
The horror!
If you're paralyzed, suffer from panic attacks and high blood pressure, how/why are you riding rides?
9:02 AM Mr. Silver
He probably got right to the front too and didn't have to listen to it nearly as long as most of the riders.
Still...
"$8000 and you'll stop whining? OK. We make that at the ticket booths in 35 seconds..."
12:15 PM Mr. Gray
True
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
(Disney rep) "The money wasn't so much 'awarded' as it was just 'handed'."



Mr. Silver
"Come back rum ham!  I'm sorry!"
9:11 AM Mr. Blue
Heheh
9:15 AM Mr. Gray
Rum?
*perks up*
Oh that’s right...I'm back on the wagon. *curses*
9:16 AM Mr. Blue
I thought it was off the wagon.
9:17 AM Mr. Gray
Nah.....I haven’t had one in a week.
9:17 AM Mr. Blue
Oh, I see.
On the wagon is good...off is bad.
9:17 AM Mr. Gray
I'm trying to stop smoking too.
Especially with how much I drink. LOL
3 bottles in a week.....tad much.
I blame Katzenjammer. LOL
9:17 AM Mr. Blue
I’ve been on the wagon for a couple months, but that's just because I’ve been pretty lazy lately.
9:18 AM Mr. Gray
I'm tired of the migraines and other health crap, so... Just going to die anyway, but...
LOL
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
Too lazy to drink is pretty lazy
9:18 AM Mr. Blue
That's why I think I could never be an addict; my laziness trumps my compulsiveness.
9:18 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Lucky you!
9:19 AM Mr. Silver
You're addicted to sloth.
