Mr.
Blue: Heh, The Scream
Mr.
Silver: I'd never realized there were a few/several versions of that
painting
Mr.
Silver: (well...til an admittedly long time ago when I read that
there were, I didn't.)
Mr.
Silver: I knew there were a lot...figured they were all
imitations...I even did one in a school art class.
Mr.
Silver: Apparently the artist liked doing them too.
Mr.
Silver: "That's so good I should plagiarize it."
"But
Edvard...you painted it...and lithographed it."
"Then
I'll have two and I can sell them."
"Are
you ok? Edvard...you have four now."
"Then
I'll have five and I can sell them, yeah! Or better, I can steal
them."
"They
get stolen all the time."
"I'll
set up a trust to hire guys to steal them for me. Then
I can scream at the loss...like this...on a bridge."
"Edvard,
now what are you doing?"
"Conquering
all art forms with this Scream idea I've stolen. It's a script for a
play or film. It's called "Home Alone". I
think I'll write two of them."
Mr.
Blue: Heheheh
Mr.
Silver: "Then I'll copy both of those...4 altogether."
"Knock
it off or I'm going to kill you."
"Good
idea! I will make a script for a mysterious Scream murderer...then
make 3 more copies."
Mr.
Blue: Heh
Mr.
Silver: "Edvard
this is just ridiculous...you are just making a mockery of your most
recognized work. Now scary movies?"
"That's
it! “Scary Movie”! I will copy “Scream” 4 times too, but as
comedies!"
Mr.
Blue: Heheh
Mr.
Silver: (I wonder how far I can go with this theme? That might be the
end.)
Mr.
Blue: I never liked The Scream.
Mr.
Blue: I always liked Arcimboldo.
Mr.
Blue: "I’m gonna paint some fruit in a bowl. OK well, I’ll
paint some fruit, but then I'll make it into a self portrait."
Mr.
Silver: I drift back to Hieronymus Bosch periodically
Mr.
Blue: He looks cool.
Mr.
Blue: A bit busy.
Mr.
Silver: True, but there is all sorts of things to see if you get in
close
Mr.
Silver: Try him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder
Mr.
Silver: I like his stuff too.
Mr.
Blue: I’ve seen his Tower of Babel before.
Mr.
Blue: I bumped into an Arcimboldi in the Louvre amongst mostly
religious-themed boring tripe.
Mr.
Blue: I kind of went in thinking I won't know any of the work, but
I’d better eye up everything or else I’ll regret it later.
Mr.
Silver: What...the religious halls, or the Louvre?
Mr.
Blue: The Louvre.
Mr.
Silver: Granted I'm from an art background, but why would you think
you wouldn't recognize anything in the Louvre?
Mr.
Silver: I mean...it's The
Louvre...there's
a few famous pieces there.
Mr.
Blue: Well, I knew I would recognize some things. But everything
else in between... I tried to take a mental picture
Mr.
Silver: "Visitors to Mr. Blue's Mental Museum are welcome to
visit The Louvre, mentally recreated in 3D. New to Mr. Blue's Louvre
are the new porn and film wings. Please enjoy!"
Mr.
Blue: Heheh
Mr.
Blue: That might be interesting, since any person's mind distorts
things.
Mr.
Silver: "Now playing: 'Giant Spider Invasion', starring that guy
from Gilligan's Island and a bevy of nude celeb babes not actually in
the real film."
Mr.
Blue: "The Venus de Milo... with Michelangelo’s David's arms"
Mr.
Silver: "Try Mr. Blue's “Buffalo-Winged Victories” in the
cafeteria."
Mr.
Silver: http://www.sandrashaw.com/images/AH1L21Nike.jpg
Mr.
Silver: ...that one...
Mr.
Blue: Yeah.
"Mr.
Blue Naked in 9th Grade Social Studies: The Exhibit."
Mr.
Silver: Is there a line for that exhibit?
Mr.
Blue: Probably for the exit.
Mr.
Silver: Oh...of course there is a line! Silly me...the classroom has
seats for 500 and all the desks are facing yours!
Mr.
Blue: "The Repressed Memories Wing is currently undergoing
maintenance."
Mr.
Silver: Heh
Mr.
Silver: All that scrubbing.
Mr.
Blue
I’ve
heard the bit where if Jesus were from the 1900s, Christians would
have an electric chair around their necks.
12:47
PM Mr. Brown
Remember
9/11 people jumping out of the building?
Yeah...there's
a good cult pendant.
12:48
PM Mr. Blue
It
was probably turning a negative into a positive: anti-Christians
probably labeled Christians with the cross, so they adopted it
themselves. Like African Americans did with the N-word or dadaists
with the word "dada".
12:53
PM Mr. Gray
It
used to be a fish they used as their symbol.
I
never did quite get that: Fishers of Men and all for Jesus,
sure...but for the whole faith?
"Hey
all....come worship and get a free herring!!! Bring a friend and get
two!!!"
12:55
PM Mr. Brown
He
fed many with one fish.
He
should have a loaf as a symbol too.
12:55
PM Mr. Silver
What
would the loaf look like?
12:56
PM Mr. Gray
I
have this image of Jesus going all Monty Python and smacking people
with a big fish now.
12:56
PM Mr. Silver
The
fish is easy to explain. It was easily drawn with 2 strokes.
The
loaf, from then, would be a circle...or a lump.
12:58
PM Mr. Blue
A
cross is better for marketing. Some people can't eat bread and there
are places that are landlocked and don't have access to much, if any,
fish.
12:59
PM Mr. Gray
Until
he comes back and sees that they used the item that killed him as the
symbol
"What the hell is wrong with you people?! That's SICK!!! What happened to the fish thing?"
"What the hell is wrong with you people?! That's SICK!!! What happened to the fish thing?"
12:59
PM Mr. Blue
Hahaha!
Maybe
that's why he hasn't come back yet!
12:59
PM Mr. Gray
That,
or he has and just wants nothing to do with any of his followers.
1:00
PM Mr. Silver
Or
he did... "So what's with all the letter T's? They're
what? Harsh, man! I'm out!"
1:01
PM Mr. Gray
"Ya
know...I came back thinking good things, then I get here and in 2000
years you people have totally lost the message. You have instruments
of murder as the symbol of the faith. You are all way too F'd up. I'm
telling Dad to bring another flood and I'm heading to Cali to learn
how to surf. Screw you people."
1:02
PM Mr. Brown
We
should use a carpenter's plumb. He was a carpenter.
1:03
PM Mr. Blue
But
we don't know if he was a good carpenter.
1:04
PM Mr. Gray
He
couldn't have been very good if he left big carpentry money to go into preaching.
Preaching didn't pay well.
1:04
PM Mr. Blue
Perhaps
the symbol could be an uneven chair.
1:04
PM Mr. Gray
“Oh
sure, Jesus, the perks of being the "Son of God" are
good...but how can you earn a living?”
1:05
PM Mr. Blue
“I
mean.. in THIS economy?”
1:17
PM Mr. Gray
"Come
in; have a seat. So, Mr. Jesus is it? Ok. We got your unemployment
paperwork, so today is just an interview to fill in and define the
details. So what was your last job? Carpenter? That’s a good,
stable profession. Ok...so you were trained by your father for how
long? All your life! Wow...family business was it? No? Oh I see,
it says you quit carpentry to join the family business.
Alright...and that profession was? What do you mean Son of God?
What is that? Now come on; how do you expect me to forward this
unemployment request to the local prefect with a ridiculous job
description like that? How many other "Sons of God" were
employed by your family business? Just you? Well....aren't you just
special. Why don't you get out of here and stop wasting the people
of Rome's time!!"
1:25
PM Mr. Brown
There
is that school of thought also: Jesus learned it all from John.
1:35
PM Mr. Brown
LOL
This
John stuff is cool. In some readings he is the Son of God
1:38
PM Mr. Silver
"And
then Jesus served John and it was On. And they did rap and
baptize with vigor until John spake, saying 'Yo dog, you God!'"
1:38
PM Mr. Brown
EEEEEEYEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
1:39
PM Mr. Silver
I
guess that fits...
"In
the beginning, God was Word"
2:39
PM Mr. Brown
Is
Totin Jewish?
2:40
PM Mr. Blue
Nah
Christian.
2:40
PM Mr. Brown
OK
He
was saying Happy Easter and was confusing me.
LOL
2:40
PM Mr. Blue
He
seems to know a lot about it too
He
knew Jesus' real name when I quizzed him.
2:41
PM Mr. Silver
Jack
Christ
2:41
PM Mr. Blue
We
were having a funny conversation with Ned.
2:41
PM Mr. Blue
Totin
was trying to explain the loaves and fish.
2:42
PM Mr. Blue
He
said it wasn't "infinite" and it wasn't "something out
of nothing". Jesus was just able to spread the food out further
so that 1 loaf fed thousands. Etc.
Ned
had a puzzled look on his face.
So
I said "like unlimited breadsticks and endless shrimp" and
he busted out laughing.
2:42
PM Mr. Silver
"Technically,
everyone just got a tiny smidgen of each..."
Perhaps
it's the Bible equivalent of the "Stone Soup" story. Jesus sees it's hopeless because no one is sharing anything and gets crafty.
"Alright
folks...got a couple loaves and some fish. I'll make the sandwiches.
Hmm...You know, it sure would be nice if there was some cheese to go
on these."
"I
have some cheese."
"Well
cool! Pass it up! Now if we had some mayo these would be some pretty awesome sandwiches..."
"I
have some at home!"
"Great!
These are gonna be really good sandwiches! Too bad there are no olives
for on the side."
"I've
got a jar of those."
2:49
PM Mr. Blue
It's
a good story.
What
would have been even better is if he was able to feed like...the
whole planet.
Or
make yellow become purple. Like, literally reverse the two colors on
the light spectrum. That would be a good miracle.
2:51
PM Mr. Brown
I
can make clean water brown and dirty.
3:02
PM Mr. Brown
Mr.
Amethyst, are silencers illegal in PA?
3:02
PM Mr. Blue
I
think you need permission from the local sheriff, and like you have
to give him a reason for having one.
3:03
PM Mr. Silver
"You'll
find out this Sunday, sheriff."
3:03
PM Mr. Brown
LOL
3:03
PM Mr. Blue
Heh
3:03
PM Mr. Silver
"I
can't wait!"
(stamps
application)
12:53
PM Mr. Blue
Did
they find that dang-blasted plane yet?
(Malaysia
370...I'm a little behind. I found all of this unedited from long
ago – Mr. Silver)
12:54
PM Mr. Amethyst
No.
12:54
PM Mr. Brown
Nope.
12:54
PM Mr. Amethyst
They
think it may have landed.
12:54
PM Mr. Brown
Yeah, there's another rumor it landed.
1:14
PM Mr. Silver
Its
On
The
Moon
It's
my favorite theory from the Daily Mail, so I'm stickin' with it.
1:14
PM Mr. Blue
Landed
where?
1:19
PM Mr. Gray
Lemuria
Sitting
two miles down on the bottom of the sea with mermen staring in the
windows at a bunch of Asians snapping pictures at them.
1:25
PM Mr. Silver
They
pulled up at an angle until they were gliding at about 10 MPH, then
they deployed those big inflatable escape slides. Then in a
daring acrobatic bit of jury rigging, attached them as floats to the
landing gear. THEN they landed on those and have been paddling
to Antarctica ever since.
1:28
PM Mr. Amethyst
I
pondered the thought that someone misidentified it and shot it down.
Or
aliens.
1:30
PM Mr. Brown
Aliens
misidentified it and shot it down.
1:30
PM Mr. Amethyst
Better
idea!
1:33
PM Mr. Silver
It
fell through a wormhole and actually crashed in PA on 9/11 and I
assume the other flight is still trying to figure out why they are
seeing dinosaurs below.
1:35
PM Mr. Brown
Time
rift, yeah.
1:37
PM Mr. Silver
Waiting
for the Langoliers to eat them.
1:38
PM Mr. Blue
The
wreckage got eaten by a megalodon.
1:39
PM Mr. Brown
They
actually ditched in the ocean intact, then the kraken finished them
off.
1:41
PM Mr. Gray
Kaiju
1:42
PM Mr. Blue
Yep,
right area.
1:42
PM Mr. Brown
Somebody
call Mothra.
