Day 276 - The Fatkins Diet, Unholy & Holy Water Parks, Beware Of (Spicy), Mrs. Amethyst's Scary Party Favors, As Far As 9 Out Of 10 British Doctors Know, and Mr. Brown's Recipe For Throw-Ingredients-At-It Chicken

Mr. Silver
Woah...one of the guys has a big Tupperware container of pepperoni and cheddar cheese. 
11:02 AM Mr. Gray
Oooo
11:02 AM Mr. Silver
Like, big enough for 2 pounds worth, and it’s 2/3 empty.
11:17 AM Mr. Silver
"Heart-Attacko Brand Snacks introduces their new 30-serving meat and cheese fun tray!  (May serve 1 in USA, see details)"
11:19 AM Mr. Blue
I remember Mr. Pig-Iron would eat like that every day.
I asked him what the deal was; he said "Atkins".
11:22 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, he was doing Atkins for a while.
11:33 AM Mr. Silver
Last I heard Mr. Pig-Iron was on an all fat diet.
11:33 AM Mr. Gray
Last I saw of him I could believe it. LOL
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
Just observational humor, I’ll admit.
Though I recall an interview with a 100+ year old man and they asked about his diet that let him live so long.
11:35 AM Mr. Gray
BACON!
11:36 AM Mr. Silver
"Over the years, I cut back to only the essentials: fatback and whiskey"
11:36 AM Mr. Brown
Keep the blood thin.
Give yourself energy.
Overall, feel happy.
11:37 AM Mr. Gray
Wasn’t off by much, heh!
11:39 AM Mr. Silver
Nope



Mr. Brown
2:17 PM Mr. Brown
It looks like the one military guy is standing there saying “look happy” while watching the guy play the driving game.
2:20 PM Mr. Brown
It’s just funny that almost all the pictures have military in it.
2:21 PM Mr. Blue
Like, 60% of their population are active military.
2:25 PM Mr. Gray
They are the ones who get food and aid first.
2:26 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah.
The UN dumps a bunch of crates of rice and grains for people and the military eats it while cursing America and the UN.
2:27 PM Mr. Brown
Join the military.  Eat.
2:29 PM Mr. Blue
I like the traffic ladies.
They don't tell you that they use people to direct traffic because their power grid is so sketchy.
And in both pictures of the traffic ladies, you don't see a single car on the road.
2:41 PM Mr. Silver
Wow...took me a minute to figure out that last waterslide picture.
"Is this how they launch the rockets?  Or get rid of undesirables?"
2:44 PM Mr. Silver
On first look, the ride appears to be a gentle coil, followed by a ramp that launches one into empty space, and crashes you onto the cement.
2:45 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
Now that’s a NK ride!
2:46 PM Mr. Silver
"This ride is called 'The People's Space Program'.  If you are worthy, you ascend to heaven."
2:48 PM Mr. Blue
How does that work?
2:50 PM Mr. Silver
Look at the picture...the last waterslide one.
2:51 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah.  It looks like it shoots the person into the air.
2:52 PM Mr. Silver
Physics wise, it's impossible...I think it's supposed to look like it does to the slider before looping him over to the left.
2:54 PM Mr. Blue
That looks like a pretty sharp turn.
It’s funny that they think a water park is worth bragging about.
Pretty much every other country probably already has several, except maybe the Vatican
2:55 PM Mr. Brown
How you know they don't have one?
2:56 PM Mr. Silver
You forgot about “Holy Water Springs”.
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
""Hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeyyyyyy CARDINALS!!!!  Get your swim cassocks on and come on down to Holy Water Springs water park, Vatican City!  Bring the nuns and altar boys!"
2:58 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
Hahahaha
2:58 PM Mr. Brown
Ride the Noah’s Ark!
2:59 PM Mr. Silver
"Don't miss Half-Off Purgatory Wednesdays!"
"And Wet n Wild Host Wafer Weekends*!  (*park closed on Sundays)"
3:02 PM Mr. Silver
"New this Summer!  CAN you HANDLLLLLLEE?  Jesus's Walk-On-Water CHALLENGGGGGEEE!?!"
3:03 PM Mr. Brown
Try a ride on the Crucifix Slide, where you put your life in God’s hands!
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
"Come try the newly refurbished Red Sea Run!  Can YOU get across before Moses closes the way?!?!"
3:05 PM Mr. Brown
When it’s time for refreshments, come get a drink and some manna at Moses’ Split Stone CafĂ©!
3:05 PM Mr. Silver
“Or stop in for all-you-can-eat loaves and fishes at any of our Feeding Of 5000 stands!”
I always picture a years counter starting to increase at high speed, marked Mr. Silver's Purgatory when I do these.  My time in Catholic school did things to me.
3:06 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, I feel like I’m doing something wrong, making fun.
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
Eh...God clearly has a sense of humor.
3:06 PM Mr. Brown
Right.
I think about that.
The biggest rule I take to heart and follow is taking the Lord’s name in vain.  I just don't do it, it just feels wrong.
3:07 PM Mr. Silver
That's right...when I invoke Him, I mean business.
None of this vain, flippant stuff.
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
Language is such a primitive thing that God probably wouldn't even care.
3:08 PM Mr. Silver
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God.
Then it became The Bird sometime in the middle of the 20th century
Though technically, it was two Words
3:11 PM Mr. Blue
LOL
3:12 PM Mr. Blue
Ex. 23:12 Doest thou not know about the Word? 23:13 The LORD doth command the bird is the Word



8:02 AM Mr. Brown
I found out the second hottest pepper in the world is very hot.
8:06 AM Mr. Silver
Hottest edible, I assume.  You had doubts?
8:07 AM Mr. Amethyst
lol
8:08 AM Mr. Blue
Only after years of painstaking research.
8:09 AM Mr. Silver
Only after a day of painstaking trips to the bathroom.
Speaking of which...
We took Mrs. Silver's niece out for Thai food Saturday.
8:12 AM Mr. Amethyst
Oh yea?
8:12 AM Mr. Silver
I ordered “Pad Kee Mow (spicy)”
Thai is spicy regardless - they ask you "how spicy from 10 to 1" on everything - so the fact that this was the only dish on the menu tagged "(spicy)" as a warning marked it as exceptional.
8:13 AM Mr. Amethyst
You ate flaming noodles?
8:14 AM Mr. Silver
I'm not one to ruin an authentic experience through fear.
So when the waitress asked "How spicy do you want it?"
I answered "As spicy as it's supposed to be." 
Waitress "Ok"
8:14 AM Mr. Amethyst
Bad choice.
8:14 AM Mr. Silver
Oh, it tasted GREAT!
But the aftermath of the (spicy) noodles was 8 trips to the bathroom that evening and through the night.
8:14 AM Mr. Brown
The jerky I ate made with the second hottest peppers was called “Ground Zero”, made at a place in Ohio.
I was at (event) on Saturday
Came up to their booth and they were giving samples of stuff
I asked to try the Inferno Beef Jerky.
He said “Well, if you’re going hot, might as well go all the way.”
He steps back into the booth comes out with a piece and says “I call this Ground Zero.”
He said it will take exactly 42 seconds for it to hit.
Yep, it did.  My face turned red.
I could not drink anything for like a half hour for fear of spreading the stuff.
8:18 AM Mr. Brown
Then for about an hour later my stomach felt like there was a fire burning in it.
8:18 AM Mr. Brown
I had to eat a pile of homemade chips to put it out.
Then, let’s just say that Sunday was a horror show that started at 2 am.
The jerky tasted great, just really hot. LOL



Mr. Amethyst
Anyone in here ever purchased ben wa balls for a spouse?
11:24 AM Mr. Brown
Ben who?
11:24 AM Mr. Blue
The sex toy?
11:24 AM Mr. Amethyst
Yea
11:27 AM Mr. Amethyst
...is that a no?
11:27 AM Mr. Blue
I’m not married, so no from me.
11:27 AM Mr. Brown
I’ve never bought my wife a sex toy.
I leave that to her to buy stuff herself if she wants something.
11:28 AM Mr. Amethyst
....
Get the Clone-a-Willy
11:31 AM Mr. Brown
She goes to those parties sometimes that her friends have.  Like a Tupperware party for sex toys.
She never came home with ben wa balls though.
LOL
11:32 AM Mr. Blue
That’s a pretty weird idea.
11:33 AM Mr. Amethyst
What’s that?
11:33 AM Mr. Blue
A bunch of women getting together and talking about/buying sex toys.
That "Pure Romance" party, or whatever it's called.
11:33 AM Mr. Brown
Right.  Pure Romance.
11:33 AM Mr. Blue
You don't see guys getting together to talk about the best flesh lights.
11:34 AM Mr. Brown
Nope. 
LOL
11:34 AM Mr. Silver
Mrs. Silver went to one.  She brought home some massage oil and a mitt for back rubs.  Nice...not exactly practical for "fun".
11:35 AM Mr. Amethyst
I couldn’t let Mrs. Amethyst go to one.  She’d come home with a trunk full.
11:35 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
11:43 AM Mr. Amethyst
I don’t think she should go, because everyone else would get something like "The Pink Fluffy Friend", but she would buy something named "The Rack".
11:44 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
11:45 AM Mr. Brown
“It twists!  It turns!  It bludgeons!”
11:48 AM Mr. Blue
"What’d you get?" 
"A Butterfly and some massage oil. You?" 
"The Octagon."
11:48 AM Mr. Brown
“I got the Jackrabbit, how about you?”  
“I got The Morning Star.”
11:52 AM Mr. Brown
So, what you’re saying is, if they had a Swiss Army sex toy, that’s what Mrs. Amethyst would buy.
11:54 AM Mr. Amethyst
Yes
11:55 AM Mr. Silver
I wonder if there is one.  Probably should be.
(a Swiss Army Sex Toy, I mean.)
11:56 AM Mr. Brown
There probably is.  I was thinking that when I wrote it.
LOL
11:57 AM Mr. Silver
I’m not Googling it here.



2:24 PM Mr. Brown
Spray some Windex on it.
2:25 PM Mr. Blue
I’m not sure I’d put something like that on my skin willingly.
Your skin absorbs stuff pretty easily.
But WD40 is pretty awesome.
2:27 PM Mr. Silver
"Unsurprisingly, the panel of medics were unimpressed. 'As far as I know, there's nothing in WD-40 that would have an effect on the joints apart from the cooling effect and the fact that rubbing helps,' said veteran GP, Dr. Ayan Panja."
Science!”
Wait...not science...um…
Assumption without investigation or testing!”
2:28 PM Mr. Brown
Right.  They could do some actual tests.
2:29 PM Mr. Blue
The Daily Mail seems to be against any kind of evidence whatsoever.
2:29 PM Mr. Silver
"As far as I know, cortisone does nothing for pain and inflammations, since I'm a bricklayer and have never used it.  BUT...and this is key…I'm willing to TEST it!"
2:30 PM Mr. Silver
"Sure, some medical panel swears by it, but how good of a panel could they be when they can't run a trial of WD-40?"
2:32 PM Mr. Silver
All they really need to do is get 1000 people with arthritis.
Then give 1/3 nothing, 1/3 WD-40, and 1/3 a pain reliever. 
Then conduct exams and interviews at specified points in the trials and compile the results.
Then do a statistical analysis of the results and come up with a coherent conclusion.
Then go on a medical TV show and say something better than “as far as I know”.
2:32 PM Mr. Blue
I’d rather have joint pain than smell like WD-40 and possibly be flammable all day.
2:34 PM Mr. Silver
In another brilliant "as far as I know" entry, there’s also no chance, for instance, that something throwing off fumes from a person's chest might be inhaled and provide an illusion of relief.  None at all...nope...no need to test THAT.
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
“There's no way that WD-40 can be getting through to your lungs to actually improve your breathing."
Except...you know...breathing in the fumes of WD-40.
These “doctors” suck.



Mr. Brown
Do any of you guys cook?
8:05 AM Mr. Silver
Yes.
8:06 AM Mr. Brown
I found out over the years that my method is to just throw stuff together.
LOL
8:06 AM Mr. Amethyst
I cook.
8:06 AM Mr. Silver
Cooking is art.  Baking is science.  Throwing together is how cooking is done, really.
8:10 AM Mr. Brown
I made something last night and surprised myself.
This time the surprise was good.
LOL
8:11 AM Mr. Silver
Did you flush when you were done?
Oh...still talking about food.
8:11 AM Mr. Brown
I have, with my method of cooking, gone too far and the dish did not taste very good.
8:12 AM Mr. Silver
I've certainly botched a few in my day.
8:12 AM Mr. Brown
Too salty, or something like that.  Normally it’s one flavor that I make too strong.
8:12 AM Mr. Silver
Mrs Silver made a minor disaster on Monday.
She makes this dish with tortellini and mushroom soup, peas, carrots, parsley
Well...
8:13 AM Mr. Amethyst
I had tortellini last night!
8:13 AM Mr. Silver
She found a mushroom soup with roasted garlic...
And had no parsley, so put in (too much) "Mrs. Dash".
First impression...Mmmm
After 1 more second - Eeeehhhhh!!!!
Fortunately there was nothing actually wrong with the pasta and veggies, so we fished it all out, rinsed it off, and put in a new can of soup.
8:15 AM Mr. Brown
I threw together cubed chicken , parsley, garlic, onion, Ro-Tel tomatoes, canned tomatoes, BBQ seasoning, sea salt, red wine, beer, and lemon juice.  I let that cook with a lid in a pan for awhile on the stove.  Then added noodles and cooked them in the pan as well, to soak in all of the flavors.
8:16 AM Mr. Silver
"Then I looked up the number for the pizza place, and dinner was awesome!"
8:16 AM Mr. Amethyst
Right!
