Day 288 - "Lights! Camera! Community Service!", Best On An Extra Firm Mattress, The God Of What You Have To Work With, "Steele Back Nick", A Gruesome Discovery At Katzenjammer Corp, and The Wild Occult World Of Crap Technology

3:05 PM Mr. Brown
Look who’s in that film.
3:09 PM Mr. Blue
In the past...
Lies our future.
3:09 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, that’s all you get.
Apparently nobody who watched it put any info in about it.
LOL
3:11 PM Mr. Silver
Wow...”Retrograde” only got a South Korean release.
3:12 PM Mr. Brown
Yeah
3:18 PM Mr. Silver
Retrograde "The adventure of a couple dozen actors and filmmakers all in trouble with South Korean law enforcement, looking for a way out."
3:18 PM Mr. Amethyst
Move it north.
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
"A Bail Bond Production of a South Korean Penal System Film – ‘Retrograde’."
3:24 PM Mr. Silver
I love this movie idea.
An all-improv action film made to escape jail time in a foreign prison, hashed together for people that don't understand English.
Reminds me a bit of an impression I got off of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys".
It was such a miserably bad film for the stars who were in it, you have to wonder how they even got involved.
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
On FaceBook, I commented that kid films so wretched as that always make me picture a court setting with the movie star standing for sentence and the judge saying "And so the defendant is hereby sentenced to 100 hours of charitable service or an approved equivalent project, without compensation or consideration."
And a lawyer I know posted back "Yes!  I see that too!"
3:29 PM Mr. Blue
Heheh



Mr. Silver
(We're on uncomfortable bed jokes...I'll paste so you can catch up, Mr. Gray.  An email went out about a found receipt.  It was for "Iron sheet")
Mr. Silver
Crap...that was lucky.  The iron sheets I bought didn't fit the bed at all.
I was going to return them but couldn't find my receipt.
9:06 AM Mr. Blue
Iron sheets? Sounds uncomfortable.
Mr. Brown
Getting a medieval looking bed?
9:06 AM Mr. Silver
Actually, it wasn't that the sheets wouldn't fit, but I couldn't tuck them in under the mattress.
Mr. Blue
"The Man in the Iron Sheets"
9:11 AM Mr. Brown
I sleep on briar sheets.  Very exfoliating.
9:12 AM Mr. Blue
I’m a gravel man myself.
3/4ths inch limestone.
Mr. Brown
Bed of whole roses.
LOL
That makes that song so much different.
9:14 AM Mr. Silver
"Lay me OWWWWWWW in a bed of roseeeeesssss!"
9:23 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Mr. Brown
Then there’s a bed of jacks with the rubber balls.
9:18 AM Mr. Silver
"Lost another girlfriend last night.  Finally got her into the sack and didn't even get her to Twosies."
Mr. Brown
LOL
Do they make steel mesh sheets?
9:28 AM Mr. Blue
Ohh… I see why you brought up iron sheets now.
9:28 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
9:29 AM Mr. Silver
Heh
9:30 AM Mr. Blue
LOL
9:46 AM Mr. Silver
No steel mesh sheets, Mr. Brown, but you can get them in steel wool and that copper pot scouring material.
9:47 AM Mr. Brown
Copper is good for the joints, too.



Mr. Brown
A bit of super glue and some nasty hair…Bam! I'm a monkey god.
8:41 AM Mr. Silver
"It's a living."
I think I'll move to India and take up the Yogi life.
My powers will be pale skin and an inability to speak Hindi.
8:43 AM Mr. Blue
Which Hindu god was white?  Yeah, that's me reincarnated."
8:43 AM Mr. Brown
I am the golden monkey, I pee yellow at will.
8:44 AM Mr. Blue
Every freak born in India is deified for being a reincarnation, yet if your dad was a janitor you're shunned.
8:45 AM Mr. Silver
I’ll bill myself as the Cracker Baba.  Or Haystack Baba.



Mr. Silver
   11:45 AM James - Did you get Steele back Nick?
12:09 PM Mr. Silver
Wow!  "Steele Back Nick" sounds like a character Stallone would play.
12:10 PM James G Peach
LOL
12:16 PM Mr. Silver
Enjoy...
(lights go down)
("The following preview is rated R")
Mr. Blue
Heh
(slurred) "Hey, yo, I’m just fighting a war... fighting a war inside me, y'know... I got these demons I just can't shake." 
"Sylvester Stallone is: ‘Steele Back Nick’."
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
(montage of explosions and gang violence)  "They told him one man couldn't make a difference against a hundred." 
(Garage door rolls up, backlit figure with suggestions of gun barrels and the shine off a 3' blade) 
"He'll just have to cut those odds down to size." 
"Stallone IS Steele Back Nick." 
Mr. Blue
"Now…one man must risk *everything*."
12:15 PM Mr. Silver
"AUGHH!!!!!! (slashing in slo mo, 'schwing' sound.)
12:26 PM James G Peach
Haha!  That’s too good!
12:31 PM Mr. Silver
"With Bruce Willis as Vic Lancer..."
(smarmy) "You think you're ready for this, old man?  You think you can take her back from ME?"
12:24 PM Mr. Silver
(Steele Back mumbles) "...I'm ready take your entire back from you." 
12:23 PM Mr. Blue
Sounds more like something one of those B-list action stars would do, like Casper van Dien or Dean Cain.
Mr. Gray
"I'm back....Steele Back."
12:25 PM Mr. Blue
*looks at camera and winks every time he mentions ‘back’ pun*
Mr. Gray
(Chief) "Steele Back...Into my office!! Do you know what you did? You blew up 42 cars. This time you're not coming out of this stainless, Steele Back!!"
12:33 PM Mr. Brown
Awesome !
Mr. Gray
(Fellow officer teasing him about screw up) "You are getting a bit rusty there, Steele Back.  Could use a little polish. Maybe you should think about a new career...like repossession. You can call the business "Steele Back's Steal Back""
12:42 PM Mr. Silver
(mumbling) “... Eh, you're hilarious, Rocko, really (slams Rocko’s head into patrol car hood, instant KO).  Ooo...didn't mean to steal your audience.  (walks away) ...Stupid F-up..."
12:45 PM Mr. Blue
Hahah
12:46 PM Mr. Gray
LOL



12:54 PM Mr. Silver
(from email) "Found Article:  Hand & Body Lotion."
AUGH!!!
12:55 PM Mr. Amethyst
Eww
12:55 PM Mr. Silver
Was the hand holding the bottle of lotion when found!?!
OMG!  OMG! 
Prof. Plum
A 1-handed person should be easy to find.
Did anyone follow the blood?
1:20 PM Prof. Plum
He must have stolen the body lotion!
1:20 PM Mr. Silver
Yes!
1:20 PM Mr. Silver
The horror!



Mr. Silver
Vista is such trash...  I hate reps calling about Vista.
10:26 AM Mr. Silver
So occult.
10:29 AM Mr. Silver
"Click set default programs...
"Then default programs...
"Then defaults and programs...
"Then programs...
"Then default programs....
"Then set defaults...
"Then programs and defaults...
"Then program defaults...
"Then Ok...
"You'll see defaults...click that...
"Then programs...
"Then set access and defaults...
"Then set program access...
"Click OK...
"And you should be back to the screen we started at with nothing accomplished.”
10:31 AM Mr. Blue
Vista is okay.  It's not Windows 8, at least.
10:34 AM Mr. Silver
This was an easy issue to fix before Vista’s BS.
Now even Microsoft's advice is trash.  One recommendation they give doesn't even exist.
10:37 AM Mr. Blue
I like that.  Microsoft always does that.  Recommends going to some setting that no longer exists or the path there is incorrect.
10:54 AM Mr. Silver
Ugh, she just followed up with "and my Kindle Fire HD can't send emails."
10:56 AM Mr. Silver
"Let’s just bring up my 2 generations old info on Kindles and fumble around for a while.  Well...based on the out-of-date Kindle Fire info, the settings on your Kindle Fire HD could be anywhere and named anything."
10:59 AM Mr. Silver
Then there’s the ultimate: 
"I have a Droid tablet.  I need to set up the wireless link and then email.  No, I won’t be able to just bring it down to IT."
"Ok.  Just start tapping shit until something happens that's net related."
"Where do I tap?"
"Any of the 4 corners...
"Or the 4 sides...
"Or if there's a button at the top...
"Or bottom...
"Or left side...
"Or right side."
"What would it look like?"
"Bars...
"Or stairs...
"Or rainbows...
"Or arrows…
"Or shells...
"Or fans...
"Or antennas...
"Or circles...
"Hell, it could be horses, clowns, the letter "I"...
"A pickle, maybe?  See anything that looks like an electric pickle?"
"I'm not seeing any of that."
"Well, what make and model is it?"
"A Gobbomucus FlooFart 3.14159."
"I'll Google it to get a picture... 
"Got it...
"Nice...made by Super 8 Motel, huh?"
"Yes."
"There's no online manual of course.  Let me get out my jeweler's loupe and see if I can pick out which pixels on this tiny picture suggest ‘internet’ to me."
