9:40 AM] Mr. Silver:
So...Gynopology
question. Ms. Rose... Why the hell do so many of the women
around here have an ice addiction? I've seen 'em taking 3
pounds of the stuff upstairs. Is it a chronic anemia thing?
[12/11
9:48 AM] Ms. Rose:
Um,
hmm... No idea. I know a lot of women on this floor complain of being
freezing and then burning up. (Including me.) We're probably just all
in some stage of pregnancy/menopause.
If
we had an ice machine on this floor, I'd truly have no reason to ever
go downstairs.
[12/11
9:51 AM] Mr. Silver:
(takes
offering of rice bowl back out of lama's hands and storms angrily
down Mountain of Wisdom)
[12/11
9:52 AM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
Maybe
if you brought a bowl of ice instead....?
[12/11
10:08 AM] Mr. Silver:
(snaps
fingers) Damn it.
[12/14
12:44 PM] Mr. Silver:
Too
bad about the 20/20 vision...and the degree...and the experience...
But
I've got US citizen and the height down.
[12/14
12:51 PM] Mr. Blue:
They
need anybody on Mars to mop the floors and answer phones?
I’d
be qualified for that
[12/14
12:52 PM] Mr. Silver:
(Recruiter)
"You need a PHD for the mop work, son. I have an opening
for radiation shielding. Got an associates at least?"
[12/14
12:53 PM] Mr. Blue:
I
assume they want even the people on the bottom end of the totem pole
to be, like, capable of advanced stuff in a pinch
[12/14
12:53 PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes,
to be McGyver
[12/14
12:53 PM] Mr. Blue:
"Our
only doctor just got sucked out the airlock!"
"Don't
look at me... I just work here...." *goes back to whistling and
sweeping*
What
if they need a wise old sage for advice? Like every character Morgan
Freeman plays?
"Now
I ain't a educated man, per say, but my momma taught me to always
stay true to ya heart..."
[12/14
12:56 PM] Ms. Rose:
Then
there could be a Mars version of Good Will Hunting. Like, the dude
who developed all the complicated space stuff is actually just a
janitor. And refuses to help. And fights with the Mars Ben Affleck.
[12/14
12:56 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
"Thanks
for the advice, Winslow. Now does anyone else have any input on what
angle of re-entry we should use?"
[12/14
1:01 PM] Mr. Silver:
"A
wise man said you can always tell the measure of a man by how well he
looks within'."
"Within?"
"Within
that navigation module and looks at the coordinates."
"Ah...OH!
OH OK!"
(Janitor
wanders off, whistling)
(Ran
across an oldie – Mr. Silver)
7:12
AM Mr. Blue
Heh,
this song's frighteningly catchy
7:12
AM Mr. Silver
Which?
7:12
AM Mr. Blue
The
one about keeping your clothes on
Jermaine
Stewart
7:15
AM Mr. Silver
"Uh...no
baby...don't get more comfortable...please. Well...ok, but
first let me finish this bottle of...cherry wine?
You drink this? Ew! Know what...I'm just going home."
7:15
AM Mr. Blue
"I
only drink wine out of a box."
Ironically,
the singer of this died of AIDS
7:16
AM Mr. Silver
A
box is too classy. Open the box and take out the bag.
Should
do that at a party
"The
box seemed too hoity-toity. Down to basics, that's me."
7:18
AM Mr. Blue
"So
I put it in one of those Kool-Aid mugs with the twisting-dispenser
top."
7:18
AM Mr. Silver
Heh
"The
wine's in the carafe on the table, breathing. Been half an hour
though, go for it."
"This
is a Kool Aid mug."
"Nonsense...it's
a decanter."
"It
has the Kool Aid guy on it saying 'Oh Yeah!' and breaking through a
wall."
"Really?
I got it in Paris...I never noticed."
I
suppose the ultimate would be putting something especially fancy in
such a mug
7:25
AM Mr. Blue
"That's
not apple cider in that half-gallon jug, that's a fine Brittany
cognac"
7:25
AM Mr. Silver
A vintage Chateau Lafite-Rothschild wine in a Star Wars glass
"What do you think of
the Chewbacca?"
7:27
AM Mr. Blue
Or
perhaps the opposite
Grape
Faygo in a crystal Ravenscroft brandy snifter
7:29
AM Mr. Silver
"Observe
the legs on this 'pop', as they call it, when you swirl the contents
to warm it."
[12/18
10:13 AM] Mr. Blue:
“Program
reduces number of homeless veterans in Pennsylvania”
I
read that as "pogrom"
[12/18
10:16 AM] Ms. Rose:
HA!
Pogrom
Takes Homeless Vets Out Back To Be Fed, Shot. Film at 11.
(No
one actually still says "film at 11." But I've always liked
it.)
[12/18
10:21 AM] Mr. Silver:
Purging
the veteran problem is a top priority
(presenter
in front of easel) "As you can observe from the bullet points in
the homeless veterans proposal...we propose we points the bullets at
the homeless veterans and observe them go away..."
[12/18
10:23 AM] Ms. Rose:
Hahahaahha!
[12/18
10:25 AM] Mr. Blue:
“Homeless
veterans were seen being herded into cattle cars. We can only assume
they are headed for warmer weather.”
[12/22
12:38 PM] Mr. Silver:
The
PC game for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" came out when
those 3D posters were a new fad.
There
was a stained glass church window in the "Bring out your dead"
scene that if you clicked on it, Terry Jones would tell you there is
a 3D clue in it and instructed you how to see it.
There
was nothing there, but it would loop tips forever.
[12/22
12:40 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[12/22
12:42 PM] Mr. Silver:
Did
a bunch of bastardy things in that game.
Good
game though
In
that same scene there was a barrel. Click and it would say
"This is a
BARREL. It contains (thing)"
You'd
have to click it like 30 times to get a false grail out, and could
keep going.
The
inventory saved everything you picked up through the whole game, down
to individual coins.
After
you finished building "The Bridge of Death", you would
always fall through if you were "too heavy".
[12/22
12:45 PM] Ms. Rose:
Funny!
LOL
[12/22
12:45 PM] Mr. Silver:
The
barrel was the only trash can in the game.
You
had to throw out your entire inventory bit by bit to be light enough
Bastards...took
forever.
[12/22
12:58 PM] Mr. Silver:
On
the subject of The Forbidden Fruit...
"Jewish
scholars have suggested that the fruit could have been a grape, a
fig, wheat, an apricot or an etrog."
"Those
Jewish scholars suggesting that grapes and wheat come off of trees are,
frankly, not very good scholars."
[12/22
12:59 PM] Ms. Rose:
ROFL
[12/22
1:16 PM] Mr. Silver:
"You
may eat of any of My trees except the wheat tree, and the grape
tree."
(snicker... aside to Lucifer: "Look
at them trying to figure out THAT one!")
(Later...the
Serpent) "Hey Eve...check out this grape I got off a tree."
"No
WAY! We looked all over but couldn't find that tree! Any
good?"
"(chuckle)"
"What?"
[12/22
1:18 PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
it was a lemon tree
[12/22
1:19 PM] Mr. Silver:
Lemon
tree? Like one solid bite and they had knowledge of how evil a
prank God could pull?
"Augh!
Aw MAN! Serpent, you suck!"
"HAHAHA!
You should see your face!"
"Shhh!
Here comes Adam. Lets get him!"
"Yeah
yeah!"
[12/22
1:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
The instinctive
drowning response is
a set of behaviors automatically undertaken by a person who either
is, or is very close to, drowning.[1]
How
many of our ancestors had to drown or almost-drown for us to develop
such a response?
[12/22
1:21 PM] Mr. Silver:
Thus...instinctive
drowning response...
I
don't know, but our ancestors apparently weren't very good at it,
because it's not a good response
[12/22
1:22 PM] Mr. Blue:
So...
not enough yet
[12/22
1:27 PM] Mr. Silver:
There
is a faction in physical anthropology that suggests the theory that
humans were aquatic
[12/22
1:27 PM] Ms. Rose:
I
read a book about that, Mr. Silver.
[12/22
1:27 PM] Mr. Silver:
This
drowning response – in addition to humans being relatively miserable
swimmers and unable to see underwater for shit even in artificially perfect conditions – are why I suggest
that the members of that faction are full of hooey.
[12/22
1:28 PM] Mr. Brown:
LOL
[12/22
1:28 PM] Mr. Blue:
I
am very afraid of deep water and drowning. Is that part of the theory?
[12/22
1:31 PM] Mr. Brown:
I
can only swim under water. I can't stay up on top.
