AM Mr. Brown
So
the latest chupacabra is clearly a hairless raccoon.
7:56
AM Mr. Silver
Yes?
Hehe.
7:57
AM Mr. Brown
For
one thing it was caught while eating corn.
Umm,
yeah a bloodsucking creature is going to be caught eating the life
out of corn.
The
other thing is, if you take all the fur off a raccoon, you will have
what they are showing.
I
mean, I believe in finding new creatures, but come on - you gotta
look at these things closer.
7:59
AM Mr. Silver
Chupamaiz!
The Cornsucker!
8:09
AM Mr. Brown
All
these creatures with no hair explains the chupacabra sightings
though.
lol
8:18
AM Mr. Silver
Probably
a lot of monsters/cryptids are normal critters who are “not feeling
fresh”.
8:19
AM Mr. Blue
Skunk
ape? Homeless orangutan.
8:19
AM Mr. Silver
"Augh! It
was orange! It had glowing eyes! It was so alien! It was like nothing we've ever seen!"
(or, headlights on pink skin, eyeshine...a possum with mange)
8:20
AM Mr. Blue
Dull
lives probably lead to the mind playing tricks on you.
The
person doesn't *want* it to be just a possum.
8:25
AM Mr. Silver
Heh
8:25
AM Mr. Blue
Most
people's minds aren’t' sharp in the best of circumstances, and this
stuff is usually seen at night, after a long day, etc.
8:26
AM Mr. Brown
I
swear that monster was going to rip my throat out! (holds out pic of wet squirrel)
2:30
PM Mr. Silver
2:32
PM Mr. Gray
Interesting.
2:34
PM Mr. Silver
“Obi
Wan's gots kids?”
2:35
PM Mr. Gray
Well,
he was alone for a good long while after dumping Luke with Owen and
Beru. There could also have been one he didn’t know about. In the
animated series, he was known to have at least one past relationship.
It
could also be a "descendant" through a brother or
something, too.
2:36
PM Mr. Gray
If
they are skipping 30 years....it seems more likely a grandchild or
something.
3:14
PM Mr. Silver
(Mos
Eisley Spaceport...walking past strip club) "Luke, we're to meet
at docking bay 94 in (checks watch) 6 hours. Gimmie about 100
credits of that speeder money. I have to meet a friend in
here…it’s a rougher place than where we met that Han Solo guy, so
you'd better pass on this one. But I happen to know there's an
ice cream place with an arcade just down that way, buddy."
3:14
PM Mr. Gray
LOL
3:15
PM Mr. Silver
"Are
you going to be talking with another Jedi about the Force?"
"Yeah!
That’s right, Luke! You see? Already, your world is expanding through
the Force!"
3:15
PM Mr. Gray
"It’s
a Jedi thing....you wouldn’t understand, Luke."
Mr.
Blue
Something
tells me he just likes dressing like that.
10:18
AM Mr. Brown
Fancy
dress.
10:19
AM Mr. Silver
(Police
chief to reporter) "He's an expert in our Very Plain Clothes
department."
10:24
AM Mr. Blue
Heheh
10:26
AM Mr. Brown
I’m
a wee Amish maiden. See my beard?
10:29
AM Mr. Silver
(Police
chief) "He hasn't had much success in narco or bunko in that
outfit, but he did crack the Horse Chop-Shop buggy-jacking ring last
year. Local meat counters are safe again. He got an award
from the local 4-H."
10:32
AM Mr. Silver
(Story
cuts to English-subtitled dash cam footage, Amish men approaching)
Suspect
#1 (PA Dutch) --- "Pardon us good woman. Pray, would you please step down from
the buggy?"
Officer
(off camera, speaking, PA Dutch) --- "Good sirs, what would you have of me? I
will take you where you wish, the Lord willing."
Suspect
#1 (PA Dutch) --- "His blessing be upon you, but nay. It is the horse and buggy we'll have, or I'll have
recourse to impolite words!"
Officer
(off camera) --- "POLICE! HANDS UP!" (charges into shot wielding large wooden spoon)
Suspect
(Undetermined, PA Dutch) --- “Cheese it! It is the English!” (gang scatters)
Mr.
Silver
Morning
Mr. Green
TBIT
The
game day we were going to was canceled.
Someone
must have finally noticed the next day was Easter.
Mrs.
Silver's immediate reaction to the news: "I didn't cause that."
Me
"Hmmmm..."
"I
didn't!"
Mr.
Yellow
Morning
Mr. Green, and lol @Mr. Silver
7:20
AM Mr. Silver
Karma
nailed her for her weather predictions and event sabotages though,
yesterday.
7:21
AM Mr. Silver
We
went to Wal-Mart to get egg color...and just wandered for a weird
amount of unnecessary time...
And
walked out the wrong door...
All
so we could run into 2 people. A man we like, and a woman
we don't.
Mr.
Yellow
Hmm
7:30
AM Mr. Silver
He's
a sci-geek writer and tech. She's an abrasive personality
and psychic vampire.
7:30
AM Mr. Yellow
Ahh.
The second one sounds like Ron's wife.
Fun
sponge.
7:32
AM Mr. Silver
They
were together, but her personal mana is such that we didn't even see
he was there.
7:33
AM Mr. Yellow
Haha
Mr.
Silver
AND
They
are not only dating, but getting married.
AUGH!!!!
7:34
AM Mr. Silver
We
talked all friendly-like and said our goodbyes. After about 50'
when there was no chance we could be seen, Mrs Silver and I started
laughing uncontrollably.
7:35
AM Mr. Yellow
Hehe
Mr.
Silver
We
wouldn't explain it to Silver Jr until we were safe in the
car...dunno...figured all the metal might keep out any telepathy
between Mrs. Silver and her.
7:38
AM Mr. Yellow
That
sounds like Henry and Sara, who play at the shop.
Is
it anyone I might know?
7:43
AM Mr. Silver
Nah
Mr.
Yellow
Sara
is the woman who played the gnome that committed suicide because a
group member died.
7:53
AM Mr. Yellow
She
treats everyone like she is married to them and she is a shrew.
7:53
AM Mr. Silver
Rather
extreme reaction for a gnome in general, let alone one that
hasn't loved the deceased for a couple hundred years.
Mr.
Yellow
Yes
her gnome was 30.
She
did it to freak out the rest of the group and make us “deal” with
her suicide.
9:02
AM Mr. Green
If
only more people would follow her example... most people...
Mr.
Silver
Dungeon
Master "You look down and she's just swaying there – dead -
suspended from a twig on the shrub by a shoelace. There's a
tiny note pinned to her chest. The text is too small to read."
Mr.
Yellow "I take her stuff and feed her to the cat."
DM
"K. Ready for the list?"
Yellow
"Yup!"
Sara
"HEY!!!!"
(At
this point, I was sending this explanation to Mr. Blue, a curious
non-gamer. Mr. Silver)
Mr. Silver
That
last bit is a realistic example of young gamer 'harsh reality'.
A party member dying often enough was seen more as 'free loot!' than
a sad situation.
8:17
AM Mr. Blue
Heheh
Mr.
Silver
Once
a player hits a certain aware-of-mortality age, that stuff happens
quite a bit less.
Age
16 "I want his sword!"
Age
30 "OMG...no. We have to take him home. It's hundreds of
miles, but he'd want to be buried with his people. Lets take an
oath."
Or
a team will drain the party fortune or take quests in exchange for
bringing him back to life and such.
And
then there's the people like Sara... Screw 'em.
Mr.
Blue
This
lady refers to herself in the 3rd person.
8:44
AM Mr. Silver
Oh
yes?
I
had a crazy client yesterday.
She
claimed the email server wouldn't let her in, ever, “for months”.
I
corrected her on the username and she got in.
Any
credit for me?
Any
admission of fault?
No.
"It
didn't work until I rebuked Satan in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus fixed it, praise Him."
"Yyyyyyyyyeah...
Well, tell Jesus his trouble ticket confirmation # is..."
8:47
AM Mr. Blue
Is
that what she said?
8:47
AM Mr. Silver
Yup.
8:47
AM Mr. Blue
Jesus...
It
must be easy to be a messiah when literally everything can be
credited to you.
Mr.
Silver
She
also explained that “people shouldn't call other people bastards,
because only Satan is a bastard, so never call anyone a bastard
because people can't be bastards, only Satan.”
8:50
AM Mr. Blue
That
makes sense.
8:51
AM Mr. Silver
"...except
actual people who are, in fact, bastards ma'am, yes...”
But
this was lost on her...as was reality.
8:51
AM Mr. Blue
Yeah.
If she grew up in India she'd be getting Hinduism wrong. I wonder what that's like.
Mr.
Blue: I like reading the translations of all that
Mr.
Blue: I was reading about all these crazy Bible stories trying to
verify if they're true.
Mr.
Blue: Like Moses goes to God to see his face, God shows him his ass
instead?
Mr.
Silver: Sounds just a tad apocryphal.
Mr.
Blue: Heh
Mr.
Silver: The Kabbalists say you couldn't survive the encounter anyway.
Mr.
Silver: So what is this are you looking at?
Mr.
Blue: Right now? Nothing.
Mr.
Silver: Oh
Mr.
Blue: This was a few days ago. I found some site called something
like "I can't believe this was in the Bible" or something.
Mr.
Silver: The Bible is big and prone to translation, interpretation and
cultural problems...a lot of weirdness was bound to turn up.
Mr.
Blue: There's the guy on YT saying that a banana is proof of
intelligent design because of it's shape, nutrition and color.
Mr.
Blue: Of course what he showed was a domesticated banana, not a wild
one.
Mr.
Silver: I'm not sure there are any wild ones left, are there?
Mr.
Silver: All cuttings
Mr.
Blue: Just reading that; I guess plantains grow wild.
Mr.
Blue: They had a picture of the inside of one. Mostly hard seeds.
Some design for the benefit of man.
Mr.
Silver: Hehe
Mr.
Silver: "Useful for food...both in the capacity of being
rendered edible by frying, or used as a hurling weapon to kill game."
Mr.
Blue: Heheh
Mr.
Silver: "God made it pointy on the ends by design!"
Mr.
Silver: "If dried, they can also be used to stake vampires. More
proof of God!"
