Aliens
with heads so big that their body could never actually support it.

AM Mr. Blue
Heh
11:51
AM Mr. Silver
Ant
monster slaves
"Very
similar to your earth ants...much larger of course. This one is
injured, it may be dangerous. Stay back. (steps forward)
GET BACK! (monster clobbers him)"

11:54
AM Mr. Blue
Heh
11:54
AM Mr. Silver
That's
what I’d want for a slave race...an unintelligent armored 7' tall
beast with claw hands that goes berserk if commanded to back up.
11:54
AM Mr. Blue
LOL
11:55
AM Mr. Silver
And
has a multi-faceted eye for the ladies...wrrrrow...
11:55
AM Mr. Brown
High
ho Ant-y, AWAY!!!
11:55
AM Mr. Silver
"I'm
worried about our monster, honey...he keeps picking me up and
carrying me from room to room."
"Aww...he's
a pussycat. He's never clamped a claw through your torso or
anything."
"I
guess...still, it's weird."
"He
just likes you, is all."
"I
guess...I'm just thinking about Gladys."
"Gladys
Smith? Too bad about her. They never did solve those
killings, did they? What about her?"
"Well...before
IT happened, she told me her monster had taken to carrying her
around. It would even take her all the way out to the caves
before putting her down."
"Odd...what
happened at the caves?"
"Nothing...he'd
just kind of loom over her for a while."
"Loom?"
"You
know...just kinda lean over her, claws outstretched. It never
did anything though. Happened 5 or 6 times."
"Odd.
Their monster was the only one left alive in the house, right?"
"Yeah.
It had an injured foot...stepped on a toy or something, but was
otherwise fine. They found it trying to clean up all the
blood."
"Good
boy...too bad."
12:15
PM Mr. Silver
I
always loved those monster scenes:
The
guy in the 40 lb costume struggling across the wilderness carrying
the screaming girl and hoping it doesn't fall apart as she kicks,
only to find a cave, set her down, and essentially do nothing but
stand there...looming...while she screams on the ground.
I
was making a game and that was one of the rules for female
characters: Can't be harmed by monsters if they choose to lay down
and scream.
12:16
PM Mr. Brown
In
most cases the costume won't bend down, so being on the floor would
be the safest place.
12:17
PM Mr. Silver
Good
point.
The
monsters are never fast either, yet they outrace the heroes hustling
through the brush and trees.
12:18
PM Mr. Brown
She
trips and fall 6 times and it didn't catch her, then in the next
scene she takes two steps and it is in front of her.
12:20
PM Mr. Blue
Mr.
Pink thinks "funnier" isn't a word.
12:21
PM Mr. Silver
Mr.
Pink thinks Boba Fett isn't a popular character, ET was more popular
than Star Wars, and didn't know who Adam and Eve were.
The
man is an alien.
Mr.
Silver
Snerk
The
team has no name.
Mr.
Blue
They’re
referred to as the Fighting Sioux.
9:13
AM Mr. Blue
Oh
I see
9:14
AM Mr. Blue
I
didn't know they dropped that.
9:14
AM Mr. Blue
Dartmouth
doesn't have a name either.
9:14
AM Mr. Silver
"The
Nice and Polite and Misunderstood and Surprisingly Civil and
Sophisticated Sioux"
9:15
AM Mr. Blue
Here’s
Dartmouth’s "unofficial" mascot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Keggy_the_Keg.JPG
9:16
AM Mr. Silver
Inspired
by their training program?
9:16
AM Mr. Blue
Heh
6:56
AM Mr. Brown
War
of the Medicine Taking last night.
Lets
say there was a peace agreement with partial medicine taken, and I
was Rambo.
6:57
AM Mr. Silver
Rambo?
An "everyone else is dead" kind of peace, then.
6:58
AM Mr. Brown
I
dumped the stuff down his throat after an hour of negotiation and
fighting.
He
gagged and spit it all over himself and me, and all was just a mess.
6:58
AM Mr. Silver
Good
lad...went down fighting.
6:58
AM Mr. Brown
Why
does it seem like the dad is always the one that has to do the actual
fighting?
What
if I want to be the one hugging him? LOL
6:59
AM Mr. Silver
It's
your job to impress that you are the one that is always 1 angry
confrontation away from killing and eating the boy.
7:00
AM Mr. Brown
"If
you don't take this, your dad will make you."
She
doesn't like it when I grab him quickly and pick him up and hold him.
She thinks I’m being rough.
“Um,
he has no bruises and no broken bones. I'm gaining control here. If
I wanted to break him I would.”
LOL
So
that line you wrote above: “1 confrontation away from eating the
boy”?
LOL
7:17
AM Mr. Silver
Subject
so far: Your position as the household member whose authority level
is the one who can kill and eat the kids. Discuss.
(We
didn't – Mr. Silver)
Mr.
Brown
I
have a question for you guys. is there a reason you can think of as
to why my friends would consider me, like, the therapist ?
9:12
AM Mr. Silver
Yes.
Next
question?
9:13
AM Mr. Brown
They
always seem to come to me.
What
should I do?
Why
does this happen?
9:13
AM Mr. Silver
As
a shaman, I can tell you "It's a shaman thing".
At
least you are not at the point where total strangers can pick you out
and start asking you stuff.
9:15
AM Mr. Blue
I
used to get that when I was younger.
Strangers
would come up and start talking to me about their problems.
9:15
AM Mr. Silver
"I
don't know why I'm telling you this."
"(I
do) Go on."
9:15
AM Mr. Blue
I
think people just like venting to a stranger.
9:16
AM Mr. Silver
Some
do, yes.
Tarzan
does.
(Neighbor...runs/ran
a lot in his youth in small shorts and no shirt with hair as long
as...Tarzan.)
He's
a psychic vampire.
Give
him one chance and he will latch on and complain and mope for half an
hour.
9:18
AM Mr. Brown
I
had long hair once.
9:18
AM Mr. Silver
Lost
the box it was in?
Anyway,
there is a quality of aloofness and poise, I think, coupled with
how one expresses himself, that says "this one knows things/is a
healer" to people at a subconscious level.
There
is also the simple fact that the vast majority of people aren't
thinkers and theorists.
Of
the ones that are, most are not vocal about it.
You,
Mr. Brown, are clearly a thinker/theorist, and are vocal. You
show no fear in putting your thoughts out there, and are articulate.
Your friends see that.
All
these things in combination single you out.
They
are also one reason you are in this little group.
9:27
AM Mr. Brown
Yes,
my ADHD is a great tool. lol
9:39
AM Mr. Silver
@Mr.
Blue - So you used to get jumped, huh?
I
made myself less accessible after lifting my curse.
I
spent enough years as a miserable dysfunctional for trying to help
people. Bah humbug
9:41
AM Mr. Blue
I
think part of it is people putting out a fishing line, and I bite
instead of just saying "wow that's neat" and walking away
or ignoring them.
9:42
AM Mr. Silver
Tarzan
is certainly one of those fishing types.
I'll
wave at range but not say Hi to him now.
"Sorry,
I've got kids on the stove. Later."
I
still get trapped a couple times a year.
Mr.
Silver
Mr. Brown...did
your OCD barf on the rhymes at the beginning of the “fun pack”
email too?
9:14
AM Mr. Brown
I
did not look at the email yet.
9:16
AM Mr. Brown
They
did not rhyme enough.
If
this is a chant over a cauldron, they need to rhyme better.
9:16
AM Mr. Silver
“Roses
are red...violets are blue...I like suspense...”
...
...
...
(Mr.
Brown) "AUGH!!!"
9:16
AM Mr. Silver
Just
look at this thing!
“Boil
your brain and enchant your eyes,
“If
you turn in your packet, you could win the prize!
“They
are located on the downstairs break room table!
…
…
…
(Me)
“And
we can't think of anything
that rhymes with table!!!”
9:18
AM Mr. Brown
Boil
your brain?
Well
then I wouldn’t be able to enchant my eyes then.
9:33
AM Mr. Green
OMG....
they are REALLY dumb today...
9:34
AM Mr. Silver
Yup
