Day 289 - Wasting Other Peoples' Time Is Genetic, I Like Them In The Sack Six At A Time, I Hope He Was Wearing A Helmet, "Pompoo", Black Heroes Have A Long Way To Go, Odes To Eighties Babes & Black Orangs, and With A Segment Like "Smucker's Birthdays" I've Really Been Put Off Jam

Mr. Yellow
Wife calls.  Stuck in the driveway, she says.   Needs me to get her out.  I interrupt a meeting, get permission to leave and drive home and ...
She’d gotten out and was not there.
9:03 AM Mr. Silver
Nice.
9:07 AM Mr. Yellow
I hate that every time she "needs" help, by the time I can get there she got out on her own and I wasted my time.
9:10 AM Mr. Green
I believe women are genetically predisposed to wasting our time... they just can’t help it.
9:12 AM Mr. Silver
I'd like to move "women" under "humans", but high on the list.
9:12 AM Mr. Green
LOL



Mr. Amethyst
I like my women like I like my coffee…
Liquefied in a cup.
1:39 PM Mr. Brown
I like my women like I like my donuts: Round with a hole in the middle.
1:40 PM Mr. Amethyst
Sweet and full of cream.
1:41 PM Mr. Brown
Powdered and full of jelly.
1:49 PM Mr. Silver
I like buttercrunch girls myself.
1:49 PM Mr. Amethyst
Nom NOM!
1:50 PM Mr. Brown
Donuts are always better warm too…I mean women.



8:51 AM Mr. Blue
Speaking of bikes, I heard a weird news story on the radio this morning about an accident at the intersection of [something and something] involving a bike.  “Police are still searching for the person who was on the bike."
8:54 AM Mr. Silver
(officer) "Well the impact was pretty hard.  We found bit of clothing but the rider might have disintegrated."
8:55 AM Mr. Blue
"We’re currently checking the wheel wells of the 18 wheeler that was involved."
"It’s possible he may have crept into the engine bay or someplace else to stay warm. We’ll keep the public posted."
"We found him, but he has a broken leg, so we're going to do the humane thing and put him down."
Not funny I guess.  He could be hurt pretty severely, but, we don't know him.



9:19 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
So, “Pompeii” is a death-by-volcano flunk.
None of the critics or anybody likes it at all.
9:21 AM Mr. Silver
"The 'everyone dies' scene was highly anticipated within the first 10 minutes." – The Sun Times
"The only improvement would have been the casting of more irritating performers to reduce to ash." – Variety
9:22 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah, in most disaster movies, straight to the action trying to survive is the film, but not in this case.
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
It looks low budget, like something on SyFy
9:22 AM Mr. Brown
Apparently they tried a made up love story and action story mix with disaster at the end where everybody dies.
LOL
9:22 AM Mr. Blue
I’ve seen a lot of low budget movies getting mainstream attention lately.
9:23 AM Mr. Brown
One guy compared it to Titanic
Long winded, but you know what happens at the end.
LOL
9:24 AM Mr. Blue
Titanic won Oscars, I think
9:24 AM Mr. Silver
"The scene with Rosetia pushing Jackus off the floating stone into the lava made no sense; there was plenty of room."
9:24 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
That would have made it awesome.
Titanic with a volcano.
I only have half my body but I can still tell you I love you. Goodbye. Aurggggglglglglg!” Sizzle sizzle
9:26 AM Mr. Silver
"I'm the KING of the PYROCLASTIC CLOUD!  WOOO WA OOOWWW!!!"
9:28 AM Mr. Brown
I’m sure there will be funny movies made about “Pompeii” if its bad enough.
LOL
"A tale of love that could last until the scene where everybody dies a agonizing death by volcano. See it this spring!”
9:32 AM Mr. Brown
"Also there are guys chopping body parts off in a gladiatorial match so you don't get too bored. Please watch this film."
9:33 AM Mr. Silver
"Tune in for 'Boobies Blood and Togas', this Friday night!"
Ratings gold.



10:37 AM Mr. Blue
I love some of the names of black Marvel superheroes.
10:37 AM Mr. Brown
LOL
Panther
Mamba
Steel
10:38 AM Mr. Blue
"Charcoal", "Bling", "Doorman". I love "Doorman".
Another one simply called "Afrikaa"
I’ll create a white superhero called "Europpe"
10:39 AM Mr. Silver
"Hey bro!  Welcome to the team.  What's your name?" 
"The White Blast!"
"...uh...really?  Because you're...uh..."
"Dressed in green?  Yeah, but when you think about it, it makes sense because-"
"No, I mean...well... ...are the blasts white?"
"Nah, they're yellow; but the thing is-"
"OK, I'm lost...because the name is The White Blast, you're in green, the blasts are yellow...and you...are...you're..."
"From Alabama?  A college graduate?  What?"
10:47 AM Mr. Blue
DC comics aren't much better... Black Lightning, Black Racer, Black Vulcan, Blackwing, Black Eagle, Doctor Mid-Nite, Onyx
Vaporlock?
10:48 AM Mr. Brown
Wait. Blackwing is a black guy?
10:52 AM Mr. Blue
Says so here.



2:56 PM Mr. Brown
If you look at pictures of her out of the 80s - EGAD!
3:00 PM Mr. Blue
I love those 80s babes.
3:00 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
You look at them now, most of them you wish you had a time machine: go back to get the younger one.
LOL
3:08 PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:10 PM Mr. Brown
For Wells, I would go back and pluck her eyebrows then take her.
Its kind of funny how the first woman to play the girlfriend in the Back to the Future films did not have a very big career, but the second one did.
3:13 PM Mr. Brown
She is hot all around.
3:13 PM Mr. Blue
Yeah.
3:14 PM Mr. Brown
LOL
HA HA
Read that, Mr. Blue.
3:17 PM Mr. Blue
Weird.
3:17 PM Mr. Silver
They dyed an orangutan. Wow.
3:18 PM Mr. Brown
Now I need to see this.
LOL
3:19 PM Mr. Blue
"a sort of jaws with chimps."
It doesn't seem like they expanded on it much beyond that.
It looks like Shue is nude in it...so there's that going for it.
3:19 PM Mr. Silver
(notes for later...)
Hehe
3:19 PM Mr. Brown
SWEEET
3:20 PM Mr. Brown
Wow, they did dye it black
3:21 PM Mr. Silver
Dyed it, and not well.
3:21 PM Mr. Blue
Its hard to consider an orangutan in a button-down shirt as either menacing or scary.
3:23 PM Mr. Silver
(Sings) "I see an orang and I want to dye it black.”
No troglodit-es...I want an orang black." 
"I see the chimps swing by dressed in their birthday clothes.”
I have to turn my head until the auburn goes.”
(wow...tough filk)
3:26 PM Mr. Blue
Hmm
"I saw an orangutan drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vics... his hair was jet black."
"Oo-ooh ahh ahh!!! Orangutans of London!"
3:28 PM Mr. Blue
heh
3:32 PM Mr. Blue
When I look into your eyes
I can see an extant primate
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even black orangutans
(“November Rain” btw. Quite proud of that one!)
3:35 PM Mr. Brown
LOL



8:41 AM Mr. Silver
Something that bugs me: Willard Scott and his Smucker's Birthday segment.
8:49 AM Mr. Blue
What about it?
8:51 AM Mr. Silver
5 minutes, 5 times a week, blathering on in rather irritating fashion, trying to summarize the full life experience of really old people in 15 words or less.
And all I can think is "He's making a fortune compared to me."
8:55 AM Mr. Blue
I didn't know he was still doing that. I never saw the point.  Who cares about old people?
How many of them are even "alive" anyway?  Yeah, their heart is beating, but if they're strapped to a wheelchair parked at a window sill with drool dribbling down their mouth, I’m not sure that counts as "alive".
9:06 AM Mr. Silver
"...and this is Mabel Goldfarb...102 years young...still makes apple and shoe pie, and says 'my husband flegl gnnn jk...zzz...'"
9:08 AM Mr. Blue
"...and Warren Holzhauser turns 98 today! His neighbors recently caught him pooping in their garden."
9:12 AM Mr. Blue
"Mildred Hamilton of Cleveland turns 101 today!  She needs machines to breathe and keep her heart beating, but not to cut a rug!"
9:25 AM Mr. Silver
"Alistair Twinings is 100 today.  He hasn't been out of his room since 1999 and still listens to what he believes is Count Basie on his radio."
9:27 AM Mr. Blue
"Rudolph Painter is celebrating his 98th birthday!  We think.  He lives alone and his family hasn't checked on him in a few weeks."
