Mr. Silver

I'm thinking of starting a FB group or something: "Drax Was Right"

3:08 PM Mr. Blue

About what?

3:08 PM Mr. Silver

Wiping out humanity from orbit and starting over.

3:09 PM Mr. Brown

How about the sun is our enemy?

3:09 PM Mr. Silver

We're our enemy.

3:09 PM Ms. Rose

FB is the enemy.

3:09 PM Mr. Silver

True...nuke FB.

3:10 PM Mr. Amethyst

3:11 PM Mr. Silver

I read a human population analysis. The math projects that we could have a World War III conflict and a Black Death plague, and still be so overpopulated that we'd have 10 billion again by 2100.

I think with the Chinese 1-child policy universally enforced, it'd still be 7.

3:12 PM Mr. Blue

Wipe out the Duggars. And the Indian subcontinent.

Between them: Boom...5 billion left.

3:13 PM Mr. Silver

1 billion from India...4 from the Duggars

10:11 AM Mr. Brown

Apparently Horton “Big Red” doesn't work here anymore.

10:11 AM Mr. Blue

Yeah. I wonder what the final straw was.

10:11 AM Mr. Silver

Who?

10:12 AM Mr. Blue

Red-headed guy that apparently didn't bathe or change his clothes.

10:12 AM Mr. Blue

And drove around with a flat tire.

10:12 AM Mr. Brown

Somebody said he had lice at one point, too.

10:12 AM Mr. Silver

Well, he had no soul anyway.

No idea who you mean though

10:15 AM Mr. Silver

(cue music) "The West Hillbillies"

10:23 AM Mr. Silver

Imagine that show's premise...

(Horton) "Wull, seems we hit the big time with some feller called Marcellus Shale, and he was keen t' give us a bunch of money to put up a big ol' windmill tower."

10:26 AM Mr. Silver

(Cousin Pearl) "How much money?"

(Horton) "Oh...they tell me they figure our share of whatever they're harvestin' will be about 2000 dollars a month."

(Cousin Pearl) "Lan' sakes! You should take that money and start livin' the good life. Move you and yours to the big city!"

10:30 AM Mr. Silver

(Horton) "All the way t' Great Belt?"

(Cousin pearl) "No silly! You get yourself to WEST HILLS!"

10:31 AM Mr. Blue

Hehe

10:31 AM Mr. Brown

Lan' snakes! AAAAAAAA!!!

10:33 AM Mr. Silver

I like this show.

I want to watch it.

10:37 AM Mr. Blue

It is conceivable that some hillbillies are getting filthy rich off the shale thing right now.

They're paying like $2600 per acre, and if they put the well within a certain distance of your land you get a percentage of the profits.

We got a $6000 check already for our measly 2 1/2 acres.

I think that's it for us, though. No cut of the loot. The wells are pretty far away.

11:06 AM Mr. Silver

Bummer...I guess.

I remember back in the 80s watching a thing about "If they could ever figure out a way to get the stuff out of shale...zow!"

It was basically speculative science at the time.

11:12 AM Mr. Blue

What even is down there?

11:15 AM Mr. Silver

Back then they were talking about the petroleum content. Fracking gets the natural gas out.

So I guess they still haven't solved the oil problem.

11:20 AM Mr. Brown

Find a volcano, dump in the shale...

Wait

11:20 AM Mr. Silver

I'm not sure burning the crude is what they are going for.

11:23 AM Mr. Silver

11:21 AM Mr. Brown

Crush it up a lot, dump in tubs of water.

Wait

Maybe it will separate?

You'd make a fine alchemist back in the day.

11:26 AM Mr. Silver

"Stick it in a dung bed and pour quicksilver on dat bitch!"

"We'll get gold or petroleum."

11:27 AM Mr. Brown

Crush it up, add salt and pepper and put it in a crock pot for 3 hours.

11:28 AM Mr. Silver

"Use the results as fuel...or stew."

12:17 PM Mr. Blue

On the verge of winning the war against Skynet, Connor sends his trusted lieutenant Kyle Reese back through time to save his mother's life and ensure his own existence. But what he finds on the other side is like nothing he ever expected. After being orphaned at age 9 by a Terminator, Sarah Connor has since been brought up by another Terminator, played by Schwarzenegger, programmed to protect her. This Terminator has then trained her to face her destiny, which she adamantly tries to reject

12:18 PM Mr. Blue

So another terminator is sent even further back to kill Sarah, but it only gets her parents

and she's raised by a T-800.

12:20 PM Mr. Brown

Yep.

Its “Looper” with terminators.

12:20 PM Mr. Silver

(Little Sarah) "I love you Dad." 

(Terminator HUD view, scanning answers - "I love you too." - 72%, "Good night, Sweetie." - 27%, "F you, a-hole." - 1%) 

12:20 PM Mr. Brown

LOL

12:21 PM Mr. Blue

Heh

That’s my favorite part.

12:22 PM Mr. Silver

The response selector?  Hehe.

12:22 PM Mr. Brown

99% - Shoot the little B

Select Option  Delete

LOL

Kind of like Robocop too, rewriting his terms.

12:24 PM Mr. Silver

(T-800 at Chuck E. Cheese, hand full of Skee-Ball Tickets) 

(Attendant) "You'll have to put them in the machine and print out a certificate."

(T-800 looks around) "I'll be back."

(Little Sarah) "Told you, dad..." 

(T-800 back at counter) "The glow in the dark vampire teeth" 

"There's a couple actually...you can go vampire or werewolf." 

"The chirping bird water whistle." 

"Just got those in." 

"The phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range." 

"Hey, just the stuff you see in the 300 ticket or less case, pal." 

12:27 PM Mr. Brown

Having a terminator as your dad, that kind of brings new meaning to the “my dad’s stronger than your dad” talk at school.

12:37 PM Mr. Brown

It looks like there will be another T-1000.

12:47 PM Mr. Silver

Teen Sarah "You told my dad we'd be back at 10 o'clock.  It's like 9:55!" 

Date "Big deal!  It'll be like quarter after.  I can deal with him." 

Teen Sarah "Listen and understand.  My dad is waiting at home.  He can't be bargained with.  He can't be reasoned with.  He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear.  And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until I'm grounded and you're dead." 

12:48 PM Mr. Blue

LOL

12:48 PM Mr. Silver

(carrying jug of Tide) “Sarah. Your dirty clothes...give them to me.”

I like this game.

12:48 PM Mr. Brown

Terminator Dad Game!

12:48 PM Mr. Silver

Terminator Dad...the meme

12:49 PM Mr. Brown

Sarah to BF “Whatever you do, don't wear any leather biker clothing over to my house.”

12:53 PM Mr. Silver

(Holding up shopping list) "Moth balls, corn syrup, ammonia..."

12:53 PM Mr. Blue

I picture Arnold in a leather biker outfit with an apron and oven mitts, cooking dinner.

12:54 PM Mr. Silver

Sunglasses on.

12:54 PM Mr. Blue

He sits down at the dinner table and the chair under him disintegrates and he cracks the floor tile.
