AM Mr. Brown
I
didn't know Danny Kaye did The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
10:11
AM Mr. Silver
Yes...saw
it once I believe...ages ago though.
I
only have little flashes of memories about it.
10:12
AM Mr. Brown
I’m
not sure if I saw that one. I saw the new version.
10:12
AM Mr. Silver
How
was it?
10:13
AM Mr. Brown
I
liked it.
10:17
AM Mr. Brown
Ok,
I thought I saw a “Hans Christian Andersen” movie with him, and I
had.
10:19
AM Mr. Silver
I
saw that once, yeah.
10:20
AM Mr. Brown
I
just kept remembering a picture in my head of Danny sitting on a rock
with bunch of kids around him.
So
I looked up pictures for the movie and there it was.
LOL
10:22
AM Mr. Silver
"The
Inchworm"...one of the proofs that kids chanting can be a little
creepy
I
like the song, but the times tables in the background are a little
unnerving.
10:25
AM Mr. Silver
(chanting) "2 and 2 are 4...4 and 4 are 8...S-8-an 8 your
soul...16 and 16 are one of us..."
Mr.
Brown
So
I refused the ghost pepper jerky this year.
It
was a very good idea. No day of suffering.
11:26
AM Mr. Blue
Yeah...
I'm not into that kind of self-abuse.
11:29
AM Mr. Brown
For
some people it really does not hurt.
11:29
AM Mr. Blue
But
it's not pleasant. It doesn't taste good.
11:33
AM Mr. Silver
We
move onto McDonald's food now?
Oh...peppers.
11:34
AM Mr. Brown
Actually,
I believe the peppers have flavor but then you are hit with the
spice.
11:34
AM Mr. Silver
Right
before the bio-weapons grade acid kicks in, yes.
11:35
AM Mr. Brown
If
you remove some of the spice from a ghost pepper, I’m sure it has a
great flavor.
11:35
AM Mr. Blue
And?
My
point is that ghost peppers aren't pleasant to the senses to like
99.9% of the people that are eating them, so what's the point?
11:36
AM Mr. Brown
Endorphins.
11:36
AM Mr. Silver
Yup.
11:36
AM Mr. Blue
So
go for a sprint.
11:36
AM Mr. Silver
It's
a drug thing.
Me,
I like hooch at the risk of a bit of a headache. I don't like
acid with the guarantee of fire guts.
11:37
AM Mr. Blue
I
prefer exercise... better long-term consequences.
11:39
AM Mr. Silver
Like
chiropracty and cartilage deterioration.
Mr.
Blue
Wow...
Yelp reviews for casinos... There's some winners.
"Grzegorz

3:23
PM Mr. Silver
Nice
review
"What
casino was it?"
"Copper
Felix's Loose Goose"
(likes
that...notes)
7:33
AM Mr. Brown
Are
you hearing the discussion over here, Mr. Silver?
7:33
AM Mr. Silver
Of
course.
7:33
AM Mr. Brown
Why
IS an orange orange? LOL
7:34
AM Mr. Silver
Botanically or linguistically?
Well,
it isn't in every language.
Which
came first...orange or orange...that's a decent question. (begins
looking)
7:39
AM Mr. Silver
Goes
way back, looks like...Sanskrit.
7:40
AM Mr. Brown
Right.
I
still go with my thought that somebody called it orange somewhere,
and someone else thought they were naming the fruit “orange”.
lol
7:40
AM Mr. Silver
"Same
color as an orange, dude."
7:41
AM Mr. Brown
Right.
It's
a chicken and the egg scenario.
7:45
AM Mr. Silver
Maybe...10 minutes of research only goes so far.
"Hey
Mr. Patel...what's that round yellow fruit called?"
"Oh,
those are new. Naranj."
"An arange?"
"Naranj"
"I
see...and that's n'apple..."
"Funny."
"Naranj...naranj...I
can't think of any words that rhyme with naranj."
"Hmm...gotta
be some though..."
Mr.
Brown
I
just got gas this morning. Its freaking $3.19 a gallon.
How
did it get that low?
7:27
AM Mr. Silver
Well...the
industry is producing a surplus and claims to soon be reaching
"critical break even points".
Because
after millions of years of not going bad, no one could ever
indefinitely store and dole out crude oil at any flow rate they want or
anything...
7:28
AM Mr. Brown
They
need to stop taxing gas.
Its
only hurting things.
7:33
AM Mr. Silver
Stop
taxing gas?
Madness!
Considering these companies pay no corporate
taxes and get subsidies from the government, how are they
supposed to get by in this world without our tax money to supplement
their huge profits? We NEED those fuel taxes so Big Oil can be paid
twice and not give any money back to support the country!
Be
realistic, man!
7:34
AM Mr. Brown
I’m
talking about the state taxes on gas.
7:36
AM Mr. Silver
Perhaps.
But remember you have your depletion credits for fossil fuel producers...can't
forget those...I see them on my business tax forms every year.
Both
federal and state.
See,
first you find out how much you pulled out...
Then
you make up an unverifiable number guessing how much you might have left...
Then
you get another big credit based on your made up number.
It's
all legal.
Every
other industry in the United States gets… wait… sorry… NO other industry
in the United States gets that.
Gas
could probably be $1.20 per gallon and they'd still make a bunch of money.
Just recently the frackers and their 'centuries of fuel' started scrambling to take the words back. "Oh, we recalculated and we're sure we'll run out a lot sooner." Gotta prime those subsidy/tax gift pumps early, you know.
I
recall when Big Oil hurt the ailing US economy by inflating the price
near to $4/gallon based on spurious claims at the beginning of the
Obama administration. It was just them being pissed off for losing,
in my opinion. And they were rich, so why not fuck things up more by
sabotaging the economy more than their 8-year failure boy had
already done, to make the new responsible government look bad before
the next round of elections? (which worked) My suggestion was an
executive order setting gas at $2.
8:04
AM Mr. Brown
Yes.
8:04
AM Mr. Silver
Assuming
#1 - It's Big Oil...they'll find a way to make money, believe me.
And
#2 - The huge energy cost break would stimulate the hell out of
everything else.
And
accomplishing #3 – Fucking them right back for their sabotage.
8:05
AM Mr. Brown
I
can tell you the standpoint of my father-in-law. He is the general
manager at (store).
He
says when the gas prices go up, his sales go way down. Happens every
time.
So
yes, to truly help the economy, make it easier to get fuel to drive
to places to spend money on products and services. People will have
extra money to do it because most of it will not go to gas anymore.
LOL
8:10
AM Mr. Silver
Nod
(Note,
as of this morning it's $2.71, probably still falling, and the
Russian economy is apparently collapsing because of it...I never
thought I'd ever see numbers like that again in my lifetime. "Critical break even points! Any minute now! We can't go on much longer without disaster! We swear!" Yawn... – Mr.
Silver)
Mr.
Blue
There's
a new space telescope scheduled for 2018. The James Webb
something-or-other.
7
times more powerful than Hubble. Will be able to spot water on
planets. Will be beyond the moon's orbit.
9:21
AM Mr. Brown
So
is it on its way there now, or they are launching it in 2018?
9:21
AM Mr. Blue
Launching
in 2018
But
funding is complete, and most of the parts are built or in
production.
9:33
AM Mr. Silver
(NASA
rep) "We're just waiting on the last $1.35 for a bottle of
Elmer's."
"That's
all?"
"Yup...plenty
of popsicle sticks waiting."
"I
can give you 2 bucks right now."
9:34
AM Mr. Blue
(engineer)
"The elbow macaroni mosaic is already setting, sir."
9:34
AM Mr. Silver
"You
can't. No private money is allowed. Oh yes...the macaroni
issues...congress was hung up for months on that. We're glad that's
over with.”
“And
this the glitter you'll be sprinkling on?”
“That's
right.”
9:39
AM Mr. Silver
(looks
at pictures of new satellite) The "World's Best Space Telescope"
in fingerpaint worked out pretty well.
To
be fair...it's really bunched up at the edge of the panel and looks like 'Telscp',
but it's cute. NASA's mom will love it.
