Why
is this crap so expensive?

AM Mr. Amethyst
Pelts,
skins.
9:47
AM Mr. Brown
Make
your own.
Just
go kill stuff.
9:47
AM Mr. Silver
There
are plenty of human pelts around.
9:48
AM Mr. Brown
It
puts the lotion on the skin.

AM Mr. Blue
Having
a big bear hide would be a cool outfit (For the Pennsic War –
Mr. Silver)
10:12
AM Mr. Silver
And
nothing else?
Yes,
it would be quite cool. One might say chilly.
10:12
AM Mr. Brown
I
could make a toxic looking bear hide.
10:16
AM Mr. Amethyst
That’s
another reason I love Tuchux garb - very drafty.
10:17
AM Mr. Silver
Tuchux
wench garb can be rather soft on the eyes...
That mid-range between the "ball" girls and "rail" girls.

"She's

"Dangerous."
"Hmm?"
"She's
really pretty dangerous...don't touch."
"Ah."
10:18
AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
10:41
AM Mr. Brown
Barter
for the hides.
11:12
AM Mr. Brown
Tit
for tat.
11:13
AM Mr. Silver
If
tat is abundant and the exchange rate is good...sign me up.
Let’s
check…
- Tat, a British colloquial term for cheap and tasteless trinkets
Hot
dog! I've got a house full of that!

AM Mr. Silver
(Steps

Skee-Ball tickets) "I have a proposal for you that will cut out
the bartering middle-mouse...as it were...for the specific 'prize'
I'd like from you, miss. Plus, as a bonus, you'll get all these
tickets."

Know
what's really irritating?
1:50
PM Mr. Silver
Joseph
Nocito's house.
1:52
PM Mr. Blue
Who's
that?
1:52
PM Mr. Silver
Of
all my blog entries, it's the most hit.
By
a lot.
We
made fun of his house and called him a nobody.
I have no issue with the man or his house...just the blog hits.
I've almost erased his section just to stop it.
1:53
PM Mr. Blue
Who
is he?
1:53
PM Mr. Brown
Apparently
he has a worthless house.
LOL
1:54
PM Mr. Silver
1:54
PM Mr. Blue
Oh,
that thing.
1:55
PM Mr. Silver
There's
other good stuff in that blog entry, but I can't see how it's
not people looking up the house.
1:55
PM Mr. Amethyst
May
I suggest a flaming arrow approach, sir?
1:55
PM Mr. Brown
Wow.
It would take a while to get from one side to the other.
1:56
PM Mr. Blue
He
kind of IS a nobody. His legacy won't be much different from ours,
except he'll leave some money and a bigger house. LOL
1:56
PM Mr. Brown
How
can you be a nobody and build a house like that?
Just
keep buying second hand houses and string them together.
“I
bought that one for $40000 and stuck it on over on that end then
painted it white.”
1:58
PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
1:58
PM Mr. Brown
I
could never live in something like that. There is just too much
house.
I
would literally only be in 4 rooms the whole time living in it.
LOL
1:59
PM Mr. Blue
It's
on such a small piece of property too.
1:59
PM Mr. Brown
“Ok
kids, go play on the drive way!”
“But
daddy we want a yard!”
“No,
damn it! I'm building more house there!”
1:59
PM Mr. Blue
It
has like 27 bedrooms. At what point is it just a hotel?
2:02
PM Mr. Blue
It's
18,000 square foot in a neighborhood of 2500 square foot homes.
Good
luck reselling that.
2:02
PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
Is
it listed?
2:03
PM Mr. Blue
I
don't think so.
2:05

“Went
to the pisser got lost for a week.”

You
could set up as a squatter in this guy's place and they'd never find
you.

PM Mr. Brown
“There
is a fire!”
“Where?”
“Over
in quadrant 7.”
“Oh,
that will take a week to get to us. Just call the fire department in
the morning.”
2:58
PM Mr. Silver
"Fire
dept? this is Joseph Nocito. I reported a fire in my home
4 days ago, and..."
"Sir,
we were there within 20 minutes and still are."

"WE’RE
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOUSE!"
3:09
PM Mr. Brown
Oh
shit.
No
way I'd do that.

"A
Willis Tower spokesman said that, although unusual, this has happened
before and is perfectly safe, finishing 'Not like I was

"And

"Hey,
you know the old saying...it's safe as houses!
“What,
like...a half percent of all accidents happen at home right?”
(assistant
whispers in ear)
“77%?
You mean like point 77%? … Wow! OK, never mind on
the old house saying thing. But I tell you - this glass floor
is safe! Stand on it? Like right now?"

PM Mr. Silver
The
Feebees have been asking about our ex-neighbors...one was going for a
government job apparently. Bit of phone tag. Finally got
to Mrs. Silver:
2:23
PM Mr. Amethyst
Feebees?
Feds?
2:23
PM Mr. Silver
FBI
2:23
PM Mr. Amethyst
O_O
2:23
PM Mr. Silver
Email
from Mrs. Silver: “Interesting conversation with the FBI. We
finally got in touch with each other.
The question that bothered me the most was: were there any strange people coming to and leaving their place?
So I guess that leaves us out, Lol! I had to bite my tongue on that one.”

2:23
PM Mr. Amethyst
HAHAHA
I
would have said "us".
2:23
PM Mr. Silver
My
reply:
“Anything
strange at their place? No, I don’t think so…though the
woman that moved in who owns the place? Gay? She
basically threw them out like it was important that she got moved in
right away for something. She’s always making these calls and
speaking in a couple different foreign languages at all hours.
Yeah, we can overhear her when we’re in the kitchen. Gets all
these small packages delivered too…keeps going on 2-3 day trips or
staying inside for days at a time…so that is kinda weird. Is
it important?”
2:24
PM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
Is
that false?
2:25
PM Mr. Silver
Yes...we've
been a bit PO'd with her ever since she wouldn't sell the old
neighbors the house.
2:25
PM Mr. Amethyst
Man,
if the feds ever called about my neighbors they'd probably start
investigating me. We don't go out, I stockpile guns and ammo, I
hardly cut the grass (to Mrs. Amethysts's dismay) and we don't talk to
any of them.
Mr.
Silver
So...today's
ponder
Why
is fire stuff “red”?
Has
any one of us ever seen a red fire that wasn't induced by some
chemical additive?
Even
“red hot” heated metal is always orange.
8:56
AM Mr. Blue
I
assume for similar reasons that water is “blue”?
8:57
AM Mr. Amethyst
Define
“fire stuff”.
9:00
AM Mr. Silver
Fire
referred to as "red" in writing. Fire trucks, fire
extinguishers, fire alarm casings...
9:01
AM Mr. Brown
Did
they have florescent orange at the time they started this stuff?
I’m
looking at those things being more visible with the color red.
9:01
AM Mr. Silver
Orange
isn't exactly a new color, guys.
9:06
AM Mr. Silver
Even
ancient writings and many cultures call fire “red”.
9:07
AM Mr. Amethyst
Well,
ancient writers called things all kinda things they weren’t, to be
fair. LOL
9:11
AM Mr. Silver
Hehe
9:13
AM Mr. Blue
Their
drawings of other animals weren't terribly accurate either.
9:14
AM Mr. Amethyst
lol
(The
next day – Mr. Silver)
Mr.
Silver
So
I Googled "Fire isn't red". It appears that no one
has ever pondered this and written it where Google could find
it.
I
consider that clear evidence this world is a SIM
We
were programmed that "fire = red". It's buried so deep in
there no one ever noticed long enough to ask the question. All those
cultures...billions of people...thousands of years.
7:36
AM Mr. Brown
Fire
has a red orange-ish glow.
7:36
AM Mr. Silver
It's
not a red orange-ish glow...it is orange and yellow and always has
been.
7:37
AM Mr. Brown
Maybe
they were burning stuff that puts off a red flame.
7:37
AM Mr. Silver
“Stuff”
we all burned, then stopped burning, and that doesn't exist anymore.
"Fire
is red" So sayeth the High Programmers!
Maybe
it was red before a graphics update, but it isn't now.
7:38
AM Mr. Brown
Ice
is blue.
7:38
AM Mr. Silver
Some
is a bit, but just as often, or more so, thick ice is green.
7:38
AM Mr. Brown
Was
the sun red in ancient times?
7:39
AM Mr. Silver
No.
7:39
AM Mr. Brown
Like
did they say the sun was red?
7:39
AM Mr. Silver
“Water
is blue”
Water
is only rarely blue.
Like...off
of tropical islands is the only place where I’ve seen that.
7:40
AM Mr. Brown
Yes,
or emerald green.
Most
of the time water is brown.
7:46
AM Mr. Silver
"Listen
children, as I tell you tales of the ancient days, when all color was
4 bit, and..."
"What
does that mean, elder?"
"Things
were simpler, young one."
"Ah."
7:48
AM Mr. Silver
Even
4-bit has more oranges than red.
3-bit
RGB...there...fire is red.
8:11
AM Mr. Amethyst
Why
are you so stuck on this red fire thing?
8:12
AM Mr. Silver
I'm
an anthropologist interested in language.
And
art.
And
magic.
And
I have a philosophy that ponders and questions reality, and looks for
proof of the truth in “mistakes” and “coincidences” and F-ups
only a “person” could write in, like this.
8:13
AM Mr. Brown
Ah!
The coals in a fire are red. There you go.
8:14
AM Mr. Silver
They
are orange and you know it.
8:22
AM Mr. Blue
If
we made things the colors that they really, are everything would be
kinda drab.
Water
is usually a murky brown...the sky is often gray...
8:23
AM Mr. Blue
water
actually *is* blue.. or at least.. that's the light that escapes it
8:26
AM Mr. Silver
Water
is clear...but enough reflects blue-green
8:28
AM Mr. Blue
The
sun isn't really yellow either.. more of a blinding white.
8:50
AM Mr. Silver
An
interesting point there: If you look at the sun long enough to be
100% sure what color it is, you'll discover everything is black.
