Day 275 - I Think Walmart Will Bounce Back, Way Of The Dead Dragon, "Egghead" Can Sometimes Be A Literal Thing, Welcome To "Eating Ash Trees", Jellystone Bigfoot Spotted By Hundreds Of Picnickers Since 1958, "FLESH! Ah-ahhh!", Donald Chump For Governor, "Atlas Begged", and A Complete Homo

8:55 AM Mr. Amethyst
9:06 AM Mr. Amethyst
I want free food....
9:16 AM Mr. Silver
Free to you.
9:20 AM Mr. Silver
"Walmart Required to Contribute Some of its Hoarded Fortune To Resident State.  Will Disney Be Next?!"
9:24 AM Mr. Silver
"Walmart's somehow-legal arrangement to funnel 60% of all profits out of the local economy was sabotaged by a computer glitch in Louisiana today, resulting in a near certainty that they will have to give money to the state to the tune of 100s of thousands of dollars...or roughly a couple days of income.  Walmart accountants are appalled and are seeking a way to blame Xerox."



8:38 AM Mr. Blue
The driver, 28-year-old Tao Lung, was speeding along in a £79,000 Jaguar F-Type.”
WTF?
8:16 AM Mr. Brown
Should be more like a electric Porsche sports car.
8:16 AM Mr. Amethyst
Dude, I drive a $3000 Amigo.
8:17 AM Mr. Brown
I drive a rusting Grand Am, and I’m 30.
8:22 AM Mr. Silver
The kid's name is roughly “Way of the Dragon”...he was not making an honest living, I'm sure...
8:22 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
8:22 AM Mr. Silver
I rather doubt he was born with such a cool name either.
8:22 AM Mr. Amethyst
Damned criminals.
8:25 AM Mr. Amethyst
Having better lives than me, and not having to pay for it ...well this one did, but still!
8:51 AM Mr. Blue
"When they found Way of the Dragon's body on the street, he was frozen so stiff from being so cool, it took 'em 2 weeks just to thaw him out."



10:06 AM Mr. Amethyst
10:08 AM Mr. Silver
"PC Josh 'Dumpty' Higgs pictured here, inspecting cannabis farm."
10:08 AM Mr. Blue
If you're that young and you go with the Q-ball look, you just look like a baby.
10:09 AM Mr. Silver
He's really thin too.
I thought of a Southpark Alien dressed in a vest.



Mr. Brown
Mr. Blue, this is where my great grandfather is from:
1:43 PM Mr. Silver
"I'm from the city of Eat"
"Good food there?"
"Surprisingly, no."
"What do you have?"
"Eh...McDonalds...a lot of German food..."
"What's wrong with German food?  I love German food."
"After 35 years of sausage and fermented crap and the like, it gets old."
1:49 PM Mr. Brown
The oldest known form of the name was Astnide, meaning ash trees.
1:49 PM Mr. Blue
Name of what, the town?
1:52 PM Mr. Silver
Esche is ash tree
So “Eschen”...which makes sense if you wish to eat ash trees.
1:54 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
Yeah. The article is talking about people having trouble understanding what the name actually means because its the common word for eat.
LOL
1:56 PM Mr. Blue
Maybe there was good hunting there.
1:58 PM Mr. Brown
Or maybe it was named for all the trees.
1:59 PM Mr. Silver
"There used to be a big sign "Essen Joe" for Joe's restaurant on the edge of town. When the place closed, the sign fell into disrepair.  All that's left now is just “Essen”."
2:00 PM Mr. Silver
(Essen Joe means "eat at Joe's", BTW...these are the jokes, folks.)
2:01 PM Mr. Brown
Well, Essen looks like a nice place, but it got bombed to nothing in Second World War.
2:01 PM Mr. Gray
So did most of England.
2:01 PM Mr. Amethyst
lol
2:07 PM Mr. Silver
Yes...I weep for Germany's pre-war architecture, Mr. Brown.
2:07 PM Mr. Silver
(I actually do, really, but that one was sarcastic)



Mr. Brown
10:49 AM Mr. Brown
I’m wondering if the Bigfoot sightings people have around here is another species of bear.
10:51 AM Mr. Blue
An evolved bear that walks upright.
Bigfoot doesn't seem bigger than a bear. Bigger than a black bear but smaller than a grizzly
10:54 AM Mr. Brown
Right.
One that evolved a little bit further to walk for longer periods of time on its hind legs.
10:54 AM Mr. Gray
....and to wear a hat and steal picnic baskets.
10:54 AM Mr. Brown
Haha!
People are so scared at seeing this creature that they never notice the goofy smile and the necktie.
11:10 AM Mr. Silver
Researchers need to try the new Bigfoot call: 'hey boo BOO!  hey boo BOO!"
11:11 AM Mr. Gray
Smarter than the average squatch!



3:27 PM Mr. Brown
3:32 PM Mr. Silver
I didn't see any of that “Flash Gordon”.
3:32 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, I did not know it existed. I'm going to need to find it.
3:33 PM Mr. Silver
Probably not.  As I recall, the general opinion of it wasn't very high.
3:34 PM Mr. Blue
I still need to watch the 80s movie.
"Flesh" Gordon has been in my DVR for a while though.
3:36 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
I would not watch Flesh Gordon, Mr. Blue.
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
He would not watch it on a boat...he would not watch it with a goat.
3:37 PM Mr. Blue
I recorded it not realizing it wasn't Flash.
3:37 PM Mr. Silver
Hehe
3:37 PM Mr. Blue
But it's supposedly not too bad.
3:37 PM Mr. Silver
Nope...I've heard that too, but I have my doubts.
3:37 PM Mr. Brown
hahah
3:38 PM Mr. Silver
When you do...review it please.  If I can explain “Debbie Doesn't Do Anything Related to Dallas”, you can review “Flesh Gordon”.
3:38 PM Mr. Blue
I will.



7:19 AM Mr. Silver
7:20 AM Mr. Green
Yeah...Governor isn’t an important enough job for The Donald.
7:23 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe.
The man's a fool anyway.
He’d probably mandate painting public structures gold and pink.
7:24 AM Mr. Green
And that bad toupees be mandatory for all balding men... heheh.
7:43 AM Mr. Silver
I swear, Louis the XIV threw up in his townhouse.  I saw a tour of it on "The Apprentice", which I watched for like a season and a half with Mrs Silver until I was certain he was just a man of below-average intelligence with drive and lots of money...and no taste...
7:50 AM Mr. Silver
He actually fell, completely, for team members scamming him about being scared of the occult because one of them was playing with a Magic 8-Ball.
I waited for him to fire those players as useless: frauds or morons, con artists or superstitious ninnies.
But no...he fired the Magic 8-Ball player for her occultism!
7:52 AM Mr. Green
LOL
7:55 AM Mr. Silver
He dumped a lot of better people for stupid reasons or because he wasn't smart enough to see he was being played.  Any respect I’d had for him before “The Apprentice” was gone. 
 
 
 
8:11 AM Mr. Green
LOL
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
8:12 AM Mr. Silver
I love that quote.
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
What goobers.
I kind of know one...not as big a dope as that though.
8:29 AM Mr. Green
I've read Atlas Shrugged. The book itself isn’t bad, but nothing to base a life Philosophy on. I also have “For the New Intellectual”, which is a basic layout of her Objectivism philosophy. I see it as simply a result of growing up in Russia, then moving to the US.
She saw capitalism as her savior and tried to turn it into a full life philosophy.
Capitalism is nothing to base your life on.
8:34 AM Mr. Silver
Nope.
Mr. Blue
Heheh
It’s funny that the “Atlas Shrugged” movies keep getting made, despite the first one losing tons of money.
Kind of an anti-”Atlas Shrugged”, in that the free market decided it sucked but they keep making them anyway.
8:17 AM Mr. Silver
They were begging for money to make #3.
Such irony.
Mr. Blue
I don't necessarily have an issue with Ayn Rand's 'values' as I’m not exactly 100% clear on what they even are, but I find it funny that certain politicians swear by her economic values as gospel, but then ignore her social values completely.
Maybe they agree with her, but they play the evangelical Christian angle to get more votes.
But Ayn Rand wouldn't respect any of the religious stuff.
8:33 AM Mr. Silver
She should read my book: "Everyone Else Shrugged and Rolled Their Eyes"
8:39 AM Mr. Green
LMAO!
8:42 AM Mr. Green
Yeah, I do find it funny that right wing extremists LOVE Ayn Rand, even though she was an atheist and pro-choice.



Mr. Brown
8:58 AM Mr. Silver
"This is most complete early Homo skull ever found in the world," said lead study author David Lordkipanidze, researcher at the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi.
"Note these jaw features suggesting he lisped, and it was buried with one of those faggy tiny hats the real flamers wear."
8:59 AM Mr. Blue
"A crude, mammoth-tusk dildo was found nearby."
9:00 AM Mr. Silver
Actually, I'm pretty certain a Google search would bring that up, Mr. Blue.
