Day 236 - C Littoral Stimulus Response, Urine For Some Pithy Stories In This Edition, Platz Putz Prat, The Mole People Need Women & Vacuum Tubes, and Data For Dimwits

12:19 Mr. Silver
Ah, the Littoral...
Me, I'm a fan of the type C Littoral.  It's a stealth model, but apparently even a lot of our own sailors have trouble finding it.
No wonder they can't make it work.
12:20 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
12:20 PM Mr. Silver
Oddly, women naval personnel have no trouble finding it at all.
12:22 PM Mr. Blue
LOL, Mr. Silver
12:23 PM Mr. Brown
C Littoral lol
12:23 PM Mr. Blue
Are naval battles really going to be fought?
I’m pretty sure we're allies with any country that has a respectable fleet.
12:23 PM Mr. Brown
Well, with the world mostly covered in water, I would say yes.
12:24 PM Mr. Blue
I’m not saying we dump the navy altogether, but I don’t know if we need to spend 37 billion on prototypes that fail.
12:24 PM Mr. Brown
The biggest thing they are making those for, I would say, is surprising pirates.
12:25 PM Mr. Silver
"In contrast with the Littoral is the Navy's new highly-successful-on-paper Frigate-R/TiV “warship” design, which isn’t really a ship, per-se, since it can totally submerge AND fly.  It would also pay for itself, and would totally kick the ass of an enemy ship.  Literally, dude.”
12:26 PM Mr. Blue
Comes in the commander's choice of neon yellow w/ purple stripes, or hot pink with ground effects.
12:26 PM Mr. Brown
That is worth it.
12:27 PM Mr. Silver
"The Frigate-R/TiV crew would usually consist of only 5 members.  The hard-bitten captain, loose-cannon weapons officer, happy-go-lucky young ensign, brash-n-busty female who seems to have no specific role, and an old-salt engineer.”



2:26 PM Mr. Amethyst
I’m going to tell you a story.  Picture, if you will, me sitting on my hospital bed after surgery.
I didn’t pee for, like, 12 hours.  
The nurse said “Pee, or we get to cath you.”  I pissed all over the floor right in front of her.
"You could have waited til I left."  
"I wasn’t taking that chance."
2:27 PM Mr. Brown
I was in the hospital for my appendix.
F-ing drunk guy next to me kept peeing on the floor, so I got moved to a room by myself.
2:28 PM Mr. Silver
I wanna play too!
OK, I had this college roommate.
And one night, after a particularly heavy binge on his part, he stumbles into the bedroom in the dark, waking me up.
Unzips, and I hear him start peeing on the floor.
"What the Hell are you doing!?!"
Instant silence...I'm not sure how he stopped it.
2:30 PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
2:30 PM Mr. Silver
He stumbles to the bathroom...and I hear the shower door slide open and he finishes there.
"Oh well...better than the floor I guess."
2:31 PM Mr. Brown
I have a friend that got drunk.  Pissed straight into traffic in front of Applebees.
I’ve never really pissed on the floor. Like, directly on the floor.
Usually just a half-asleep missed-the-toilet.
Then I go oops and redirect.
lol
2:34 PM Mr. Silver
I went in the garbage can beside the toilet when I was little and sick once.  Too feverish to even recognized the difference, apparently.
2:35 PM Mr. Amethyst
I drank a case of Labatts one night, woke up, went to the bathroom, came outta the bathroom and said "Dude.  I’m so sorry.  I just took a MASSIVE shit in your bathtub."
His face was priceless.
2:35 PM Mr. Brown
lol
2:37 PM Mr. Amethyst
I always just pee outside at night; it’s closer than the bathroom and makes Mrs. Amethyst mad.
2:37 PM Mr. Brown
lol
2:37 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
2:38 PM Mr. Silver
Oop oop
2:38 PM Mr. Brown
If I’m outside and its dark enough, I’ll just find a spot.  Why walk back to house?
2:38 PM Mr. Amethyst
Dude, I’ll pee in my driveway, broad daylight, back to street, people going past.
I don’t care; I’ll pee where I wanna pee.  If you don’t like it , don’t look.
2:39 PM Mr. Brown
I’m trying to be nice to my neighbors, not give them a free show.
2:39 PM Mr. Silver
Who'd pay?
2:39 PM Mr. Amethyst
Psh!  It’s the only show I give.
2:40 PM Mr. Silver
"Gotta go really badly, honey.  Fire up the sign, music, and chaser lights."
2:40 PM Mr. Amethyst
lol
2:40 PM Mr. Brown
Music  blaring – “And I’m FREE  FREEE FALLING”
I’m sure with more thought, a great selection in song could be decided upon for the peeing show.
lol
2:41 PM Mr. Amethyst
Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls?
That would be better.
2:42 PM Mr. Brown
How about “My Ding-a-ling”
2:42 PM Mr. Amethyst
Hahaha



7:51 AM Mr. Silver
Meanwhile, Platz pulls up beside me outside the grocery yesterday.
"Katzenjammer sucks!"
"Maybe."
"You don't know who I am, do you?"
"Dude...I'm on your Facebook."
7:52 AM Alan
lol
7:52 AM Mr. Silver
"Got this! (shows wedding ring off)"
"I know!   You had a great honeymoon too.  I saw."
7:52 AM Alan
ROFL
7:52 AM Mr. Silver
"Cool!  Well, later."
"(You have no idea who I was, do you, Platz?)"
7:53 AM Alan
Platz is Platz... all that can be said about him.
7:54 AM Mr. Silver
Hehehe
 

 
Mr. Mustard
Sounds like someone is playing 'Pop the Gopher'http://www.pressherald.com/news/nationworld/One-by-one-.html
'You wanted a Sea-Level Home, now you got it!  Stop complaining just because you have to look out your third floor window to see the front yard.”
9:49 AM Mr. Silver
This attack of the Mole Men is really subdued compared to the sort of stuff in old movies.
9:50 AM Mr. Silver
Perhaps they called for the world's surrender in the local Horse Trader Magazine.
9:52 AM Mr. Silver
"We need to get rid of that lot before tax time.  Did you see anything under Real Estate Needed?"
"Well...there's this one.  'Surrender surface dwellers.  All your lands will be under our dominion.  The Mole King.'  There's a phone number...Want me to try them?"
"Mole King?  Must be a big commercial grab.  I don't want them building a mall there in that nice neighborhood."
"Yeah...I'll keep looking."
9:54 AM Mr. Mustard
When they said ‘You will be getting the Underground, this is not what we expected!' ”
9:56 AM Mr. Silver
Perhaps they fell into am old gold mine and don't know it yet; like “Paint Your Wagon”.
...'course that was a new gold mine...and not a mine…
9:57 AM Mr. Mustard
You don't hear as much about gold mine subsidence as coal mine.
10:08 AM Mr. Silver
At least gold mines don't burn for 50 years...
What's the name of that town?
Centralia, PA.
10:11 AM Mr. Mustard
Indeed.
10:16 AM Mr. Mustard
No worry about heating bills in the winter, or shoveling snow.
10:28 AM Mr. Silver
True.
10:38 AM Mr. Mustard
The closest subsidence I remember was at a shopping center on Route 8 near Wildwood Road in the 50s or 60s.
A buddy was in the Radio Shack checking TV tubes when it happened.
The clerk sent him out of the store, but he ran back in to get the tubes.  All were ok.
10:42 AM Mr. Silver
At least the tubes were saved (wince)
Lucky fellow.
The whole center go?
10:47 AM Mr. Mustard
Parts of it.  Fellow was the first 'test tube baby' I knew. 
Sick   sick   sick, all the time.
(Not sure what he was getting at with this one since he’s decades off.  Perhaps he meant donor sperm? – Mr. Silver)
10:56 AM Mr. Silver
I guess that's why he needed new tubes at Radio Shack. 
10:57 AM Mr. Mustard
Indeed.
 


Mr. Mustard
FBI scam got another friend of mine.
3:14 PM Mr. Silver
?
3:14 PM Mr. Mustard
Trojan wants $300 and won't boot in Safe mode.  Go to Safe mode with networking, and then it shuts down.
3:15 PM Mr. Silver
Yup, he’s screwed.
3:15 PM Mr. Mustard
I told him I would probably remove the hard drive and place it in a microwave for 10 minutes.
3:16 PM Mr. Silver
Too complicated.  Tell him to just stick a rare-earth magnet to the drive casing.
3:16 PM Mr. Mustard
And it will magically pulls all his data onto the magnet?
3:16 PM Mr. Silver
Right.  It’ll be safe there.
3:17 PM Mr. Mustard
Only a 500GB, a midget magnet should work.
3:17 PM Mr. Silver
"Get the data back out?  Well...  I suppose it's possible, sure."
"No, Katzenjammer’s IT doesn't do that sort of info retrieval.  Try a theoretical physicist."
3:18 PM Mr. Mustard
or a ten year old”
3:18 PM Mr. Silver
Heh
3:19 PM Mr. Mustard
I have seen floppy disks held to filing cabinets with magnets before.
And I watched a fellow who said he would fax the data over to someone place a floppy in fax machine.
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
HAHA!
