Day 290 - The Big Claim Hunter, Apparently She Loves The Pepperoni, Fights Bad Breath Gingivitis & Staphilococcus Aureus, "Sleazy Rider", and I Included Garapathivenkatapoorna Just So It Could Be Googled By Future Generations

Mr. Blue
8:28 AM Mr. Blue
A little adventure mixed with cryptozoology.
8:57 AM Mr. Silver
So I skimmed a bit of "The Hunter" plot, and oddly enough, the Mr. Belvedere skit came to mind
"Why would we want to kill the last remaining Tasmanian tigers?!"
"Well...there's this girl.  And I think she'd really be impressed if she knew I found a cryptid."
"But, why kill it?  No!"
(creepy psycho) "Excuse me, but I believe we always have a vote on this sort of thing."
9:02 AM Mr. Blue
Hehehe
9:04 AM Mr. Silver
"Fine!  All in favor of killing off the last Tasmanian tigers, assuming we can find any?  All opposed?   Fine. We don't kill them, and frankly I'm surprised the vote was that close!"
"Aww...that's alright.  She was probably a lesbian anyway."
9:08 AM Mr. Blue
I’m not sure if it's mentioned in the plot summary, but a company wanted the DNA of the animal.
9:08 AM Mr. Silver
It was.  They were assuming it had paralytic venom.
9:09 AM Mr. Blue
Yeah, which it probably didn't, but other marsupials do, so it's not that big of a stretch.
And there are animals today that we still aren't sure if they're venomous or if they just have nasty bacteria in their mouths.  So there's no way to be 100% certain of Tasmanian tigers.
It’s not one of those movies where someone is looking for something that hasn't been verified in 50 years and basically can't throw a rock without hitting one.
It takes him a while... he hears one... sees a glimpse… etc.
9:19 AM Mr. Silver
Then says "Clever girl" and gets swarmed?
9:22 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
9:22 AM Mr. Silver
(a part that irritated me in Jurassic Park)
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
Why?
9:24 AM Mr. Silver
I have a hard time believing someone of his supposed experience, and having had unprecedented access to the raptors to watch how they worked together, would be so dumb as to just wander off into any situation like that.
"Here's my plan...I'll walk into the bush where I have a 5-10' visibility range to see if I can scare up intelligent coordinated pack hunters who attack from all sides."
"You lied on your resume, didn't you?"
"Eh?"
"You basically walked into the interview with a gun, Jungle Jim clothes and an Australian accent and got this job...Are you even Australian?"
"Well...no.  But I watched Crocodile Dundee like 30 times."
9:38 AM Mr. Silver
Oh...and saying "clever girl" causes a lot less damage and doesn't make the same sort of scary bang that might frighten off veloceraptors as, say, a shotgun blast to the leader's eye might.
9:39 AM Mr. Blue
Even just pulling the trigger at the one he was already aiming at.
Thus making it 2-on-1 instead of 3.
9:39 AM Mr. Silver
Yup
Or 1-on-0: one dead, others running.
9:39 AM Mr. Blue
My interpretation of that was he was kind of a chess player.  He was beaten and he accepted it.
9:40 AM Mr. Blue
"Clever girl... good game, mate. I concede. Go ahead and eat me now."
9:42 AM Mr. Silver
(severely injured in escape helicopter) "And so I says to meself, if I keep blastin' at the smelly bastards, I might just 'ave a shot of gettin' another can of the foamy amber before I cark it, right?  And coo, did they tear me up bonzers!  But me ol' barker took 'em all dahn like a piss in the woods!"
There...that’s a real fake Aussie big game hunter.
9:44 AM Mr. Blue
So a picture of the Tasmanian tiger that was distributed to show it stealing farmers chickens (and probably led to its extinction) was actually a stuffed specimen with a dead chicken placed in its mouth.
9:45 AM Mr. Silver
Heh
9:46 AM Mr. Blue
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Burrell "Thylacine" at the bottom... what a jackass…
"Seen here on Halloween dressed as the Gorton Fisherman."
9:48 AM Mr. Silver
"Also famous as the inspiration for the Captain Morgan rum pirate pose."
9:53 AM Mr. Blue
Heh
9:54 AM Mr. Silver
"Zoologist Carol Freeman made the conclusion that the animal was stuffed after observing that the animal was standing on a mounting board with a small plaque at the bottom reading 'Tasmanian Tiger'.  To quote from her expose, 'The coincidence that the beast was photographed while standing on such a mounting board is not unprecedented, but seems unlikely.’"
10:02 AM Mr. Blue
LOL



10:12 AM Mr. Yellow
OMG I forgot.  At the Italian joint down a couple doors: There was a couple having sex in the back room.  The back door was open and we were outside smoking and I heard a woman moaning in pleasure.
10:20 AM Mr. Silver
(sings) "When the pizza chef guy gives the waitress a ride that's amore...” 
When she she's starting to swoon playing in the back room, that's amore..."
I love those old Dean Martin classics.
10:20 AM Mr. Yellow
Yep



1:49 PM Mr. Silver
So...another good use for Listerine: Reducing toxicity fears from suspect meat.
1:57 PM Mr. Blue
How?
Soaked it?
2:03 PM Mr. Silver
I had a bit of ring bologna this morning.  I was a little leery of it...I usually have a bit for breakfast, so it stretches out over several days as it is, and then it had been sitting over the weekend, maybe partway through last week too…I couldn’t remember.
I hemmed and hawed over eating it and decided it was probably OK, so popped it in and started chewing. 
It didn't feel or taste right.  It might have been psychological priming, I don’t know, but I decided I was done risking it and spit it all out.
"Crap...if it was crawling with bacteria, I'm probably scr- LISTERINE!"
2:06 PM Mr. Blue
Ahh
2:07 PM Mr. Silver
I gargled and swished a nice big shot of the stuff and so far am not showing signs of bazooka barfing or death.
2:08 PM Mr. Blue
Good thinking.
Any hard liquor would probably do the trick, too.
2:09 PM Mr. Silver
Like I'd spit that out...
2:09 PM Mr. Blue
Heh.
2:09 PM Mr. Silver
"Morning, Mr. Silver.  How ar... …are you drunk?"
"It was life or death, Mike."



Mr. Blue
I started watching 'Easy Rider'.
But it seemed like a long music video, so I decided to finish later.
2:26 PM Mr. Silver
I never saw either.
2:30 PM Mr. Silver
I got about five minutes into Easy Rider and said "God.  What a bunch of 60's a-holes" and switched to something else.
I would probably riff it as harshly as some of the MST3K stuff, based on the part I watched.
(decides to read about 'Easy Rider')
2:38 PM Mr. Blue
It wasn't bad, it's just that nothing was happening.
2:39 PM Mr. Silver
(dubs over Seinfeld twang music)
2:42 PM Mr. Silver
Results so far:
#1 - Toni Basil used to be very hot
#2 - Do not intensively Google image-search Toni Basil here.
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
When she did “Mickey” she was already pretty old.
2:47 PM Mr. Silver
Yep...I'd riff the Hell out of “Easy Rider”.
It’s a classic of the "Stupid people being stupid" genre.
2:51 PM Mr. Silver
I was told a couple times I “would have been good in the 60s”.
Eh.
Not if people were generally like this.
2:53 PM Mr. Silver
Oddly enough, “Dazed and Confused”, I relate to.  It was also "Stupid people being stupid", but it didn't involve anyone being stupid enough to stay in the South like these dopes.
"Hey!  Freedom guys!  Every place you go down here, you get hassled, threatened, or assaulted!  Go north one or two states, you morons!"
I know Bakshi liked being gritty and urban, but "Fritz the Cat" was consistently unpleasant too.
Even the “intellectual” characters.
"Geez...pick and choose the losers you hang out with better." (and I was advising the coeds, not Fritz.)
Maybe that was part of the reason behind the whole Hippie thing:
In the 60s, nothing looked clean, the Squares were too square, and everyone else was stupid scum.
So drop out, become a Hippie, and live out the rest of the decade in a drug haze so you wouldn’t have to notice.
(I clearly had no past life in the 60s)
3:29 PM Mr. Silver
Hmmm...think I should put that on the blog?  Not good enough?
Wait...
Most of the stuff I post isn't.
3:29 PM Mr. Blue
heh



Mr. Blue
GARAPATHIVENKATAPOORNA. 
His actual last name.
The name couldn't even fit in our software.
"We have a long, rich history of inconveniencing other people."
8:36 AM Mr. Silver
You can't even Google it.
"So what is the VPN giving as an error, Misterrrrr... G?"
8:37 AM Mr. Brown
Mr. G-Porn
8:37 AM Mr. Silver
"In my home alphabet it's represented by 2 characters: A line and 2 squiggle things."
9:11 AM Mr. Silver
G-Porn is his rap name
"Yo!  I'm Garapathivenkatapoorna!  I’m here ta warn ya!  All my rhymes are apathetic vents on kitty cats and porn-a!"
