Mr.
Blue
Prince
is a Jehovah’s Witness.
2:53
PM Mr. Silver
Yes. Since 2001, anyway.
2:54
PM Mr. Blue
Like,
95% of his songs would be completely incompatible with that religion.
2:57
PM Mr. Silver
I've
often wondered.
But
never stopped to look.
2:58
PM Mr. Blue
JWs
are pretty strict. They don't even celebrate holidays or birthdays,
let alone allow men to wear heels or flamboyant blouses or makeup.
2:58
PM Mr. Silver
(sings)
"So to-nite I'm not going to party like its any date, any year."
2:58
PM Mr. Blue
Basically.
There
were 2 in my grade in elementary school and they left when we'd have
any kind of party.
3:19
PM Mr. Silver
(2001) "Mr...Prince?
We've called you in because the church is very upset with the imagery and lyrics you make your
so-called living with, and-"
"Here's
my donation check for this month..."
"(looks)
-and we heartily encourage your efforts to bring fresh young people
into the fold."
3:20
PM Mr. Blue
Heh
Mr.
Brown
It
still believable in my book. I mean, who wants history to say
Kennedy was killed by the mob?
LOL
8:30
AM Mr. Blue
Who
wants history to say Kennedy was killed by a wanna-be communist?
8:31
AM Mr. Silver
But
he's not a credible person, Mr. Brown. He was a mafia hitman. He
can't be trusted regardless of his situational knowledge, recorded skills, and
credible opportunity. We'll only believe an honest
assassin.
Now
if an arch bishop or philanthropist or someone admitted it...well
then!
8:36
AM Mr. Blue
Didn't
he kill a cop too?
Innocent
people usually don't also kill cops as they're fleeing scenes.
9:11
AM Mr. Silver
"In
James Files newest book soon to hit the shelves -- 'Geez, Why The
Hell Won't Anyone Believe Me, WTF?' -- Files collects details and
statements, photographs and film showing his alleged so-called
involvement in the Kennedy assassination...including the infamous
photo of the champagne toast under the "Congratulations on
killing Kennedy, John File" banner at the after party."
"A
clever hoax" say detractors.
"It
was a misprint!" claims James. "I have the order receipt
saying 'Congratulations on killing John Kennedy, James
Files'."...the
guy got confused."
Mr.
Brown
Have
you guys ever smelled burning after being surprised, or hit in the
nose a certain way?
Smelling
burning is the best description I can think of.
It
happens when I get pinched under my arms too.
10:05
AM Mr. Green
Brain
tumor. You're doomed.
10:05
AM Mr. Brown
LOL
10:07
AM Mr. Green
I've
heard that non-existent smells, like burning hair or feathers, is a
sign of a tumor.
10:07
AM Mr. Brown
Yeah,
but that's something that would just come up in those cases.
10:07
AM Mr. Silver
The
sudden shock to your system briefly distracts you from the weakest
element -- the olfactory element -- of the illusion that is disguising
your actual
reality: Your immortal soul burning in Hell.
10:08
AM Mr. Silver
Similar
anecdotal experiences of the veil briefly lifting include reports
of hot flashes, flaming gouts, screaming noises, and visions of leering demons
stabbing the individual in the face with rusty saw blades.
10:08
AM Mr. Blue
If
you get hit in the mask with a puck in hockey, you smell burning
rubber.
10:09
AM Mr. Brown
I’ve
had this since I was young.
10:10
AM Mr. Blue
Sounds
a bit like synesthesia.
10:11
AM Mr. Silver
Dante
devoted the third circle of his Inferno to the sin of “Esthesia”.
10:14
AM Mr. Silver
And
yes, I agree with you, Mr. Blue. His brain is giving up a result for
the stress that it figures is “closest”. In his case, a burning
smell.
In
my case, if I sneeze really hard I get a taste/smell sense that
registers as "lavender". When I step back and think about
it, though, it doesn't really smell like it. Then it's gone.
10:21
AM Mr. Brown
Do
you understand what they are trying to say with that example picture,
Mr. Blue? The color one in the top right.
10:21
AM Mr. Blue
People
associate letters and numbers with colors.
I
know someone that does that, or claims to.
Some
people even hear musical notes and associate them with colors.
10:33
AM Mr. Brown
“This
is another rare form of synesthesia where certain tastes are
experienced when hearing words. For example, the word basketball
might taste like waffles.”
10:34
AM Mr. Blue
I
guess I kind of had that. When I was a kid I thought my security
blanket had a warm and a cold side, and I could tell the difference
based on the stitching pattern.
10:39
AM Mr. Silver
Interesting
(headline)
"Human Sensory Systems Barely Work, Miracle Species Survived,
Says Anthropologist"
10:40
AM Mr. Blue
Yeah,
we are pretty damaged.
10:53
AM Mr. Blue
There
are probably
a lot of things that fall under synesthesia.
For
example, I just looked at a picture of a cute tight-rope walker in a
skimpy outfit on CNN and felt butterflies and tingles. ;-)
And
that's pretty common.
11:05
AM Mr. Blue
My
friend's sister used to do this thing where she'd stare at you and
start rubbing her nose and then you'd involuntarily rub your own
nose.
11:06
AM Mr. Brown
LOL
11:10
AM Mr. Silver
The
reality is, we're all on acid, it's 1968, and we've only been sitting
here like this for about 30 minutes.
11:11
AM Mr. Blue
LOL
11:36
AM Mr. Brown
LOL
10:25
AM Mr. Silver
Fluff.com
is offering us the chance to "See Inside Taylor Swift's"
again.
10:28
AM Mr. Blue
See
What Taylor Swift is Hiding Inside Her Big Floppy Dolce & Gabbana
Purse.
10:28
AM Mr. Silver
Another
favorite of mine is "How cruise ships fill unsold cabins".
The
mind boggles. I usually guess "Dysentery victims!".
10:29
AM Mr. Blue
Yeah...
Or “human trafficking victims?"
10:30
AM Mr. Silver
I
don't think “big and floppy” can be associated with Taylor
Swift...let's see in 30 years.
10:30
AM Mr. Blue
Also,
according to Fluff, Danica McKellar is more known as a "DWTS
Alumni" rather than being on Wonder Years.
10:30
AM Mr. Silver
HEH
"Famous
for DWTS, Danica was also on a TV show in her youth!"
10:34
AM Mr. Blue
“Former
star of ABC's “Bosom Buddies”, Tom Hanks, stopped by the studio
today!"
Ms.
Rose
I
can't read my horoscope until the end of the day! LOL
11:32
AM Mr. Silver
"If
your birthday is January 30th, congratulations Aquarian! Your
fantasy novel will hit the NYT bestseller list and you'll be invited
to Hollywood to meet with producers and have lunch with director
Peter Jackson and Katy Perry who has written the title theme song for
the film version. Later you'll be given free tickets to spend 2
weeks in the Virgin Islands! Don't forget your toothbrush!"
11:32
AM Ms. Rose
HA
HA HA! That's one hell of a specific horoscope!
11:32
AM Mr. Silver
(me
at breakfast) "Not bad. Hey honey? Where's the suitcase?"
11:32
AM Ms. Rose
LOL
11:33
AM Mr. Silver
I
blame Monty
Python.
11:35
AM Ms. Rose
"If
your birthday is 8/1, you are about to get a rude awakening, dear
Leo. An editing project you have just begun is about to be pulled
away from you suddenly, by a puffed-up Aquarian who likes Katy Perry.
He won't even invite you along for his trip to the Virgin Islands.
Don't fret, Leo. Said Aquarian doesn't know you slipped that line
into his contract about 90% of royalties belonging to you."
11:36
AM Mr. Silver
Mixed
omens, but it came out very nice.
To
be honest there are a lot of other singers I'd want to meet before
Katy Perry but she came to mind as I scrambled.
11:38
AM Ms. Rose
I
doubt you're the first to make a scrambled Katy Perry reference.
11:38
AM Mr. Silver
“Dark
Horse” is pretty poor for a hit. Good idea but poor writing. Not
catchy anywhere. The big build-up line ends in something stupid
because they got to the top of the crescendo and were trapped with
absolutely no musical exit.
I
assume it's success is due to the video.
It's
quite the show
11:40
AM Mr. Silver
(Me
in a Shiva costume sneaking up behind her on stage) "Pst!
Pst! Katy! 'Dark Horse' doesn't mean anything like you're implying
in the text of this song!"
11:41
AM Ms. Rose
I
couldn't even tell you one Katy Perry song. I mean, I could pick her
out of a line-up I guess, but I am so in the dark about pop culture
these days. If it's not about Pearl Jam or one of my loves from the
90's, my eyes gloss over and I zone out.
11:51
AM Mr. Silver
I
ran across Katy Perry when I ran across a sort-lived meme about her
and Zooey Deschanel being the same woman.
Zooey
I like.
11:54
AM Ms. Rose
I
love Zooey Deschanel too!
11:54
AM Mr. Silver
I've
listened to some Perry stuff...she herself is a piece of candy but I
don't like a lot of the music.
Mr.
Blue
I
hope no one takes a death mask of me.
1:34
PM Mr. Silver
Does
anyone ever do that anymore?
1:35
PM Mr. Brown
Somewhere
somebody has to.
1:41
Mr. Silver
(Establishing

"I was so happy to hear of your interest. When I read about your work and saw your photo, I couldn't wait to see you in person."
"Do
you get much business these days, Mr. Kreep?"
"Not
from anyone aware of it."
"Umm..."
"Hehe. Just a bit of morbid humor, sir."
"Oh! Yes, that's funny!"
"Do come in and see the gallery."
"You
have a lot of these. So this doesn't pay much?"
"To
be honest, its become more of a hobby over the years...like
collecting butterflies. Ah! Allow me to introduce the four Findley
sisters. Beautiful, are they not? I had to wait 15 years for young
Miss Eliza to pass. In the end I got impatient. Still, she rendered
rather well."
"Ah...
Wait. What do you mean 'impatient'?"
1:54
PM Mr. Blue
"Has
anyone ever told you that you have a nice face? Excellent cheek
bones."
"Whooo
boy! Look at the time! I've gotta run!"
1:54
PM Mr. Silver
Heh
