Day 277 - It'll Be An Olympic Sport Any Year Now, "Gooo With The Buuuull", Screaming Is A Talent, The True Motive Behind The JFK Assassination, "The Not-So-Incredible Petrified Plot", "A Kiss After Dying", Hot Name Or Not Name, Things That Go Clank In The Knight, and "I Wear A Tiara Now, Tiaras Are Cool"

Mr. Blue
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
They have records for this?
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
"Dmitri Galitzine shattered the records set the previous year in the 1st annual "Dmitri Galitzine Paddling in a Pumpkin" competition."
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
LOL



Mr. Brown
11:03 AM Mr. Silver
Good ol' Ram Inn
The most quoted "Most Haunted" episode ever in my house was the Ram Inn investigation.
Derek, their psychic, dropped into his creepy mode.
(possessed voice) "Go to the baaarn…"
(Yvette) "Go to the barn?"
(possessed voice) "Go to the baaarn…"
Except...
11:06 AM Mr. Brown
"Gooooo to the pub get me a laaaaaaager."
11:06 AM Mr. Silver
Although the bar was said to be haunted, there was no mention that we recall of the barn actually being haunted.
11:09 AM Mr. Silver
So, although they went out to the barn and demonic shenanigans apparently occurred -- personally I think Derek tripped the victim and pummeled him on the ground while "saving him from a demon” -- I was sure I what I actually heard was:
(possessed voice) "Go to the baaar..."
(Yvette) "Go to the barn?"
(Derek considering...) "Uh...yeah...sure... Go to the baaaarn..."
11:10 AM Mr. Brown
So they just misheard him and went with it.
LOL!
11:19 AM Mr. Silver
Seemed that way.
So Mrs Silver and I will encounter bad-instructions or a misunderstanding in conversation, and we'll trade off: 
"Go to the barn?"
"Uhhh...yeah.   Gooo to the baaaaarn"



Mr. Blue
Apparently the earlier Halloweens didn't have enough black victims for the studio's liking.
"We’re hearing a lot of rumblings from the urban community that there should be more black people getting killed." 
"Yeah, our focus groups are saying the same thing."
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
In post production Bianca Kajlich's screams had to be dubbed because of her inability to scream.”
Wow... you had one job, Bianca.
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
Bianca "Oooooooooo...."
Director "Ummm....no....a little stronger dear."
Bianca "OOOoooOOooooo..."
Director "Nnnnnnnnot quite.  We were hoping for more of a shrieking 'E' sort of tone."
Bianca "Eeeeeeeeeeee...."



(After a couple days of Mr. Brown talking about JFK documentaries and theories - Mr. Silver)
9:11 AM Mr. Silver
(JFK Documentary narration over on photo/video montage) "In 1963, ex-marine and neurotic 'aspiring librarian' Lee Harvey Oswald made a shocking discovery while rooting through the book depository in Houston TX.  JFK – the president of the United States – was 24 years late returning a borrowed textbook to his school library, and Oswald calculated that that the commander-in-chief owed a staggering $19 in fines." (archive photo of scribbled calculations).
9:11 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
"Ich bin ein scofflaw."
9:12 AM Mr. Silver
(Cut to aged librarian interviewee) "Oswald... Well...he was what we used to call a Book Weenie... He was never actually employed by a library that I'd ever heard of, but he was always hanging around the stacks, shushing people, putting books back in place, and wasting time obsessively memorizing Dewey decimal entries. He seemed like just another harmless eccentric at the time, but..."



12:21 PM Mr. Silver
This was the weekend’s bad sci-fi action film:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredible_Petrified_World
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Lots of goofiness.
12:26 PM Mr. Blue
I’m surprised it wasn't MST3K'd.
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
Nice poster art...if only the barely-dressed damsel and octopus were in it.
12:27 PM Mr. Silver
My sister and I gave it a good riffing.  Lots of laughing.
12:29 PM Mr. Brown
Ok, so the title is like “Debbie does Dallas”? - There was nothing petrified about it at all?
12:30 PM Mr. Blue
Just the plot.
12:31 PM Mr. Blue
If they did find a petrified world it'd be pretty boring.
"Look!  A brachiosaurus! … Turned to stone!"
12:40 PM Mr. Silver
Well...they walked around in bone dry caves (1700' underwater) for most of the film.
They didn't have a Land Time Forgot budget.  No dinosaurs.
12:40 PM Mr. Brown
Water scenes - big money.
12:41 PM Mr. Silver
There was a lot of aquarium padding at the beginning, featuring a shark and dead octopus fighting to show how fierce the sea is.
12:41 PM Mr. Blue
Ah yes, the ol' stock footage flick.
12:42 PM Mr. Silver
You could sometimes catch images of people at the aquarium pressed up against the glass.
12:42 PM Mr. Blue
" 'Look out! It's a shark!'…and you said you're going to edit this so it looks like we're really looking at the shark, right?"
12:42 PM Mr. Silver
Then we had the far-fetched exposition about diving bell projects, just so we know for sure that:
There are 2 of them.
Where they are located. 
Which characters were building them.
12:44 PM Mr. Brown
Oh!  Exposition!
LOL
12:44 PM Mr. Silver
Then we have the team, talking about diving into the great unknown.
12:45 PM Mr. Silver
The “diving bell” was a sphere, and was perhaps big enough for 2 of them to sit inside...all 4 could fit if dead, dismembered, and properly stacked.
On the other hand, inside, the sphere was a big enough cube for about 20 people to hang out in, if friendly.
12:45 PM Mr. Blue
Was the lead/hero guy very doughy and wore his pants very high?
And he just kinda puffed his chest out to appear masculine?
12:45 PM Mr. Silver
Oh yes!
Craig
Craig Manly Macho, the 4th.
12:46 PM Mr. Blue
"Hi! My name's Craig and I never exhale."
12:46 PM Mr. Silver
He wore popped collars before Jersey folk wore shirts.
And for no reason whatsoever, he started 2 scenes with the shirt off, so he could put it on.
12:46 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
12:50 PM Mr. Silver
Including one scene where he had the shirt on, moved to the next chamber to discuss plans away from the women, and he had his shirt off after the scene cut away from the women to the men talking in the other room...where he proceeds to put it back on.
1:01 PM Mr. Blue
They should've hired a shirt wrangler to hang out on set.
(Sadly, the subject changed.  This film was completely packed with crap...I could have gone on for hours.  Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8IQZIF5OMg - Mr. Silver)



2:55 PM Mr. Brown
3:01 PM Mr. Brown
One wife kept her dead husband at home to kiss every night.
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
Nice
3:09 PM Mr. Silver
22 cases of corpses kept at home long enough to be "a nuisance".
3:09 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, I was trying to understand the meaning of “nuisance” in those cases.  LOL
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
“Barf-worthy stink”, perhaps?
3:10 PM Mr. Silver
They prescribed sawdust, screwing the lid down extra tight, and a burial.
(residents) "Skip to #3!  Skip to #3!"
3:14 PM Mr. Silver
As much as I might love someone, I really don't see much point in keeping the dead version around.
3:23 PM Mr. Silver
Didn't that turn out to be an unexpected issue in Japan?
The missing 100-year-olds?
3:25 PM Mr. Silver
They did some sort of census and kept coming up with people no one had actually seen in years.
3:25 PM Mr. Blue
Oh?
The kids were stashin' gramps in the crawl space?
3:26 PM Mr. Silver
Here it is:
"884 were on the records as 150 or older."
3:27 PM Mr. Blue
No wonder their life expectancy average is so high.
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
Nah.  A few lines down, it says the average age is from different census records.
3:28 PM Mr. Blue
Ahh
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
Wow.
The furor over Japan’s missing centenarians began in July when the authorities in Tokyo discovered the body of Sogen Kato, the man thought to have been the city’s oldest living man at 111, mummified in his bed, dead for more than three decades.
In late August, the police arrested Mr. Kato’s 81-year-old daughter and his granddaughter on charges of fraudulently collecting his pension and failing to report his death. They said Mr. Kato had gone into his bedroom after a family fight in the late 1970s and had never come out.“



3:29 PM Mr. Blue
"Keiko Chiba"... Not as cute as the name sounds.
3:30 PM Mr. Silver
So you're thinking there should be some sort of movement to change names to match looks?
3:30 PM Mr. Blue
Possibly in Japan at least.
Keiko Chiba sounds cute.
3:31 PM Mr. Silver
"Sorry ma'am...your little girl stopped being a 'Bunny' when she swelled out to 240 pounds in her mid 20s.  She can take any name from column 4.   Personally, I think she looks like a Bertha."
The opposite also holds.
3:34 PM Mr. Silver
"Yes, we realize that Ethel is a traditional name in many generations of your family, but your daughter is clearly (consults chart) 'smokin', and must choose something else.  She can have Ethel back when she's aged a few decades, if she's unlucky...Wow!"
3:34 PM Mr. Blue
Keiko Chiba sounds like a teenage Japanese pop star.
With hit singles like "Smile Train Wa-Wa-Wa" and "Gumdrop Kitty Cat"
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
"Chu Chu Star Lover"
3:36 PM Mr. Blue
Speaking of which, ever see any videos of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu?
She’s kind of the epitome of kooky Japanese pop music.
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Not that I know of. 
(Looks up)
Woah!
3:37 PM Mr. Blue
She takes it pretty far, visually, and that's her intention.   She goes beyond cuteness to the point that it's actually creepy.
3:37 PM Mr. Silver
Uncanny-Valley Girl.



Mr. Brown
Well, Brown Jr. has his nightmare demon now.
It’s the Armor Man.
7:42 AM Mr. Silver
Like Armor All?
7:42 AM Mr. Brown
Armor.
Something that's all armor. He said it tried to choke him.
Honestly I don't remember him seeing anything that had something like that in it.
7:44 AM Mr. Silver
Scooby Doo, pilot episode?
7:44 AM Mr. Brown
All I see in my head is a samurai suit attacking him.
It just means he has hit the phase of nightmares that we have to explain are not real.
7:45 AM Mr. Silver
Past life memories!
8:05 AM Mr. Silver
"You're just remembering when you were a helpless peasant child and were strangled to death in your bed in the middle of the night by an evil 14th century knight.  Well...goodnight, son.  Sleep tight."
8:05 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL



Mr. Brown
12:35 PM Mr. Silver
Wooooow...
12:42 PM Mr. Brown
I never really understood some of the wacky looks they gave The Doctor.
12:54 PM Mr. Silver
They're all a bit crazy. Not the outfits, the Doctors.
12:57 PM Mr. Blue
How the hell does a 2 year old girl even know what Doctor Who is?
I’m sure the parents "insisted" she dress up.
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
“What do you want to be for Halloween, Katie?”
"Pincess!"
"Doctor Who?"
"PINcess!!!"
"All 11 Doctors?"
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
"Wan be PINCESS!!!!!"
1:00 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
