Chatting
with Baldazar Sandor. Heh...
"We
are not able to provide services at Hogwarts. Sorry." :P
[12:09
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
Brown!
[12:18
PM] Mr. Silver:
Baldazar!!!! BAD dog!
[12:19
PM] Ms. Rose:
Not
lyin'. Baldazar Sandor. In (town), nonetheless.
That's
a name we really should bring back.
[12:21
PM] Mr. Silver:
How
about a multiplayer Craps game called "Piles of Craps"
where everyone rolls to try to hit the public "point"
[12:21
PM] Ms. Rose:
HA!
Piles
of Craps is HILARIOUS.
There's
always one. This client is complaining about us offering to send a
new router because "7 years is really not that old" for a
router. But then proceeds to mention that speeds have slowed down...
(from
Zoolander) "It's like I'm taking CRAZY PILLS!"
[12:54
PM] Mr. Silver:
"How
dast thee? How dast? This vintage router is an heirloom, I
say, sirrah!"
"One
would suppose Katzenjammer's villaines deem it apropos to compel me
to accept free spats and a new Eton collar if it suited their mood!
Nay! I say NAY!"
[1:04
PM] Ms. Rose:
lol
(as
read in the voice of Baldazar)
[1:14
PM] Mr. Silver:
(touches
nose, points to Ms. Rose)
[12:56
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
can't imagine anyone out there complaining about free upgrades.
[1:00
PM] Ms. Rose:
"Is
it free?"
Yes.
"I
see the replacement is free, but will I be billed?"
It's
FREE.
"How
much to ship it?"
FREE
FREE FREE!
"On
second thought, let's skip it. I can't afford this."
ALL
FREE!

PM] Mr. Silver:
Nice...
Koch Industries ad on CNN.com. Just shows a military officer's
hat.
[3:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Support
the Troops!!" - Charles and David "Industries" Koch
I
guess every generation needs its George Pullman / JP Morgan,
curmudgeonly anti-democratic miser type
[3:15
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Robber
Baron has such a negative connotation..."
"We'd
run for office ourselves, but there's no serious money in being a
servant even if there are some perks."
[3:20
PM] Mr. Blue:
Cheaper
just to bribe the folks currently in office
[3:22
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Tip",
sir. Don't be crass.
"How
much do you make a year, Mr. Senator? And it's 15% right?
Here, better have it in cash so you don't have to share with the
others."
[3:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
was reading about the town Pullman created...where he built it around
one of his factories and made everyone working in the factory live
there. No home-owning, they all had to rent from him, and they
weren't allowed private newspapers, town meetings, public speeches,
or even churches
So
he paid them and they in turn gave him back the money in the form of
rent and taxes lol
Apparently
no privacy either
LOL
Also: “The city of Pullman, Washington is named in
his honor. The town expected him to build major railroads in Pullman,
but the route went into Spokane.”
They
should vote to rename it "Pullman Sucks, Washington"
All
these years, I thought Mr. Burns was supposed to be satirical, not
biographical
[3:28
PM] Mr. Silver:
If-Pullman-Ever-Shows-His-Face-Here-Again,
WA
[3:28
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[3:39
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Pullman,
WA erected a plaque of historical significance depicting a hooded
lynched figure in a nice suit, entrails hanging out, suspended over a
fire with several prominent citizens beating the body with farming
implements."
[3:39
PM] Mr. Blue:
Hahaha
[12:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
Did
you ever hear the Jon Cena prank call?
I
don't follow WWE but I guess he has a really obnoxious entry song and
they pranked some lady as promoters and kept playing that at full
blast
Then
on different calls:
"Hello
ma'am, do you support the marines?"
"Yes
of course!"
"Well
a former marine needs your support now!" ITS JOOHHHNN
CENAAA!!!!! *trumpets*
---
(robotic)
"hello. you. have. a. collect. call. from. JOOOHHHNNN
CEENNAAA!"
"I
swear I'm going to call the cops."
[12:34
PM] Mr. Silver:
LOL
I
don't think about wrestling much, but when I do, I think of stuff we
did on Mr. Gray's X-Box game.
He
made as close as possible to a reasonable wrestler.
Mr.
Green and I...did not...
[12:49
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh,
like making your own character thing?
[12:50
PM] Mr. Silver:
Ja. Mr.
Green made a guy about 7'3", built like a
goon from the Popeye comics, big fangs, and the body hair setting
cranked up. Aptly named "The Beast" and he'd walk in
with a Tiki mask on.
His
opening music was some long metal growl saying "Wwwwwwwwwwhat a
rrrrrrush!" but it mostly sounds like someone barfing.
Perfect.
Mine?
I went the opposite.
I
made him about 5' tall with over-muscled arms and legs...and because
I couldn't see the perspective at all, didn't realize I'd given him
something like size 20 feet.
Mexican
acrobat style over brute force.
And
I
set him to never take off the cape.
Mr.
Gray "Woah...brave..."
Luchadore
mask
“El
Reyo Azul”
Watching
him lift opponents was a treat
As
well as him climbing all over them.
We
figured he could do the stuff because of the feet
[1:02
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
I
used to do similar things in NHL games
Make
a defenseman like 4'11" - I think that was the shortest they
could be, but like 255 lbs. and fast
They'd
play like a bowling ball
[1:13
PM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe
Legally
check the legs right out from under someone?
[1:14
PM] Mr. Blue:
Then
there was the glitch that made 5'11" Mike Zigomanis 15'11"
He
could take a faceoff without either of his skates being inside the
faceoff circle
But
his head was normal-sized
[1:22
PM] Mr. Silver:
I
tried to find a picture of that and never could. Hehe
So...back
to the wrestling thing because there was more to the story.
One
of the things you could design was your opening light show and
swagger.
Mr. Green's
was an aggressive brute and had an entrance to match
I
had a proud toreador presentation, horns and guitar
This
is important...
Because
one game night, I was over there to Mr. Gray's like an hour early
And
Mr. Green had been in an awful mood because he'd had a fight with his
wife's friend, who'd come to their Halloween party as Jack Sparrow and caused trouble.
And
so I decided to make him a present of a novelty wrestler - "The
Captain"
Dreads...dew
rag...eye patch I believe. Vest, boots, puffy shirt...
I
made him quick, and an escape expert. And I selected a show and
swagger.
Mr. Green arrives and I tell him I made him something special to burn off some steam.
We
set up the fight, and in The Beast comes - "Wwwwwwwwwwhat a
rrrrrrush!"
And then The Captain appeared, and
the giggling started in earnest...
Because - though
we never used them, fought them, or watched matches - there was a
whole section of the game devoted to ring girls and girlfriends and
similar characters so they could have matches too.
And I'd given The Captain a woman's entrance.
The
Captain came in, skipping and posing and blowing kisses.
It was ridiculous and Mr. Green loved it.
That done, the match began.
And...for
the ultimate enjoyment of 2 out of 3 of us...
The Captain proceeded
to kick The Beast's butt in the ring.
No contest. The
pirate was too fast and slippery for his brute tactics.
It
was a good day.
[1:52
PM] Mr. Blue:
Hahaha!
