345 "Might" Be Other Things More Worth Spending NASA's Budget On, They Were Polar Opposites, Does A Cheater Get Flaccid Balls?, "...You Might Be In A 3rd World Country", and The Roadside Monsters Of Iowa

Mr. Silver
"Space Exploration Community Sets Self Up for Crushing Disappointment in March"
Awful lot of the word "might" being used in this article.
"We're very excited because there is a possibility that Ceres 'might' be interesting."
8:17 AM Mr. Silver
(The Old Man) "My God! There could be anything on there!"
8:20 AM Mr. Blue
Precious metals... organic matter... an ice cream stand...
Anything.
8:20 AM Mr. Brown
We believe its a dwarf planet, that on the weekends is an asteroid.
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
(The Old Man) "Ah stair oid keh-rez...must be Italian."
8:20 AM Mr. Blue
Just tell deBeers there's diamonds on it and tag along with them.
8:21 AM Mr. Brown
(Singing) “Might be a rock chunk to-night...”
(To the tune of “Might be a Lady”)
8:24 AM Mr. Blue
Luck be a Lady”
8:24 AM Mr. Brown
I like to sing “it might be a lady tonight”. Seems funnier.
8:26 AM Mr. Silver
I agree.
"I've confirmed a large dark lifeless lump is out there: Thinking of naming it after a fertility goddess."
"Funny."
8:27 AM Mr. Brown
Hmm. I see on the scope there is a something floating out there. It's brownish in color and well... it looks like a piece of shit.”
8:27 AM Mr. Silver
"Dwarf planet? Please...these days they prefer to be known as 'little planets'."
8:32 AM Mr. Silver
"Also submitted in the naming contest were 'It's Just a Rock', and 'The Dingleberry'...
8:33 AM Mr. Brown
Also submitted, "Asteroid: Might-be-Important", and "Dwarf Planet: Big-Waste-of-Money"



Mr. Mustard
How about this story? “89 year old beats 86 year old room mate to death with 2 pound magnet”
11:09 AM Mr. Silver
"He always found him attractive..."
11:10 AM Mr. Mustard
Were trying to iron out some problems..."
11:12 AM Mr. Silver
"Their opinions during the preceding argument got rather polarized."
There a link to that story?
11:13 AM Mr. Mustard



Mr. Silver
There was talk about this yesterday.
Should The New England Patriotic Cheaters be bounced from the Superbowl?
"Ballghazi"? That's what they're calling this?
At least "-gate" refers to an actual scandal.
Anyway...
12:58 PM Mr. Blue
If you're caught cheating in a game, I don't know why you wouldn't forfeit that game.
12:58 PM Mr. Silver
As we were watching the pundits, I posed the question - "For what stupid reason is the NFL even letting teams maintain their own balls?"
Does MLB give each team their own special bucket of balls? Or is there just a pile of balls the umpire hands them?
12:59 PM Mr. Blue
Yep.
The NHL keeps all pucks in the penalty box area.
12:59 PM Mr. Silver
"We'd like to have our own dozen balls per game..."
"So...for cheating?"
"Uh..."
1:00 PM Mr. Blue
*shifty eyes*
*pulls on shirt collar*
1:00 PM Mr. Silver
"Because, I mean...it's football...you can't lose a football at a pro game...and it takes, like, an elephant to break one. So why do you need 12?"
"Uh..."
"Except for, like...cheating."
"Uh..."
1:01 PM Mr. Blue
*clothing is now drenched in sweat*
1:03 PM Mr. Blue
What if they replaced the game balls with those Nerf footballs with the spiral tails on them that whistle?
1:05 PM Mr. Silver
I like it!
I also questioned the value of a deflated ball.
Wouldn't the QB and team have to spend an awful lot of time on practicing with low pressure balls, at the risk of replacement anytime, to be any good with them?
1:10 PM Mr. Blue
I don't know what kind of game either team plays, but maybe a team that runs the ball more than throwing it would have an advantage with deflated balls.



Mr. Blue
India had to pay people to keep the monkeys away with sling shots during Obama’s visit.
I think that's the very definition of 3rd world country.
11:33 AM Mr. Brown
Yep! LOL
They could have just given the monkeys all cigarettes; they would have left him alone then.
11:34 AM Mr. Blue
(Jeff Foxworthy voice) “If you gotta pay people to keep the monkeys away with slingshots...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:34 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
11:34 AM Mr. Blue
If half your country is barefoot and the other half wears sandals...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:35 AM Mr. Amethyst
If listeria is the flavor of your water...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:35 AM Mr. Blue
Heh
If your citizens think the 90's Buffalo Bills are the greatest NFL team of all time...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:36 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
11:37 AM Mr. Brown
If you don't eat cows...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:42 AM Mr. Blue
If dirt is a condiment,...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
If you have more coup d'etats than you do elections...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:45 AM Mr. Amethyst
LOL
11:46 AM Mr. Brown
If your bathroom breaks result in shit in a bucket...well, you know...”
11:47 AM Mr. Blue
"There's yer sign!"
11:48 AM Mr. Brown
If getting drinking water is the most dangerous part of your day...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:50 AM Mr. Blue
If the ticks and leeches are better nourished than you are...you might be in a 3rd world country.”
11:50 AM Mr. Silver
"If the sight of a full set of clean white teeth is disturbing...you might live in a 3rd world country."
11:52 AM Mr. Silver
"If you have any use for chicken bones...you might live in a 3rd world country."
11:56 AM Mr. Brown
"If the sight of bugs makes your stomach growl with hunger not throw up in disgust...you might live in a 3rd world country."
12:11 PM Ms. Rose
Happy “Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day”, all!
12:11 PM Mr. Brown
If you live in a 3rd world country, bubble wrap is created by the gods.
12:12 PM Ms. Rose
Well, that was incredibly fast for my parade to be rained on.



1:18 PM Ms. Rose
"...some could be tempted to climb the sign and take a selfie."
1:24 PM Mr. Blue
It should have said "Our prices are SUICIDAL!"
1:24 PM Mr. Silver
"Iowa Bans Giant Mannequin Billboard Technique Used in Other States for 70 years."
The governor stated that reason for the ban was that the general population of Iowa was too over-sized, dull and stiff to recognize the difference between the mannequins and living Iowans."
1:29 PM Mr. Blue
They'll flip their shit when those inflatable balloon guys make it to Iowa.
1:29 PM Ms. Rose
HA!
1:29 PM Mr. Silver
Demons!”
1:30 PM Mr. Blue
(911 dispatch) "Caller reports a giant yellow man gyrating his hips suggestively toward oncoming traffic."
1:38 PM Mr. Silver
(talking head on Des Moines evening news) "New reports indicate that the alien creature appeared to be 25' tall and shaped like giant red sausages. It had no apparent legs, but at least 100 tentacles at each hand and around the mouth, which seemed to be at the top of the head. It was thrashing wildly and appeared to be set on eating a used John Deere tractor at a farm vehicle dealership."
1:40 PM Mr. Blue
"The alien creature provided little resistance and was taken into police custody."
1:41 PM Ms. Rose
"Prior to capture, citizens were instructed not to take selfies with said alien creature after the rash of mannequin-billboard-selfie plummeting deaths last year."
