373 - Adventures In Unreal Sex, "Relationships Off The Starboard Bow!", "Night Of The Mock-Italian Sausage", Women Need Protection From Active Shooters, and "For Those About To Rock We Ask You To Be Considerate Of Your Fellow Fans!"

[2:10 PM] Mr. Silver:

I used to joke that when Silver Jr. showed overt interest in sexual things, I'd take him to a "category" site and say: "Ok...point out 3 things you like..."

(consider his choices)

"Ok, you're Ok."

[2:11 PM] Mr. Brown:

“You really like that? (points finger) REALLY? She is dressed like a horse with somebody riding her"

"I like horses."

[2:12 PM] Mr. Silver:

That is a fear

[2:15 PM] Mr. Brown:

"Redheads? There's a good one, son! Good going!"

"Feet? Um. Ok, I think you might want to rethink that one."

"Balloon popping?"

There is way too much weird shit out there

Ok, so maybe the children need some guidance

I used to watch that HBO Real Sex

There was some messed up shit back then, and that show is old.

[2:18 PM] Mr. Silver:

"HBO's 'Sex that is Real Somewhere'."

[2:24 PM] Mr. Brown:

You ever look at one of those lists of categories? Holy crap!

[2:25 PM] Mr. Silver:

I like Richard Jenni's spin on adult entertainment: "All these films should be titled the same thing: "Things That Will Never Happen To You Ever"."

[2:27 PM] Mr. Brown:

Yes!

LOL

If they titled them that, things would get better. We would not be making dumb teenagers that think this stuff will happen to them.

There is this one F'd up thing I saw on a site once

[2:28 PM] Mr. Silver:

...by mistake, while looking up church stuff...

[2:28 PM] Mr. Brown:

There are videos of this dude just sneaking behind women and you-know-what-ing on them without them knowing.

How is he not arrested?

[2:29 PM] Mr. Silver:

...because its fake?

[2:29 PM] Mr. Brown:

I questioned that multiple times when pondering how he is not arrested.

The only thing I could come up with is they are foreign, so rules are different there?

[2:32 PM] Mr. Silver:

Not that different.

But yes, that's true: The scripts and actor payments are, for instance, in French text and currency.

Or Russian.

[2:35 PM] Mr. Brown:

Russians are crazy

Taking notes, Ms. Rose?

LOL

You can tell Mr Oleo all the crazy shit out there

Or should we take his tablet and check the history

LOL

[2:36 PM] Mr. Silver:

Mrs. Brown would probably be interested in yours.

(Anyway...moving on... - Mr. Silver)

[2:38 PM] Ms. Rose:

I'm pretty sure Mr. Oleo is going to jump ship in the next few weeks. But I expect each of you--as my work-chat buds--to fully support ME. Unless, of course, you need to call his department, in which case you should totally do whatever he tells you to.

[2:39 PM] Mr. Blue:

Which ship?

[2:39 PM] Mr. Brown:

relastionship?

[2:39 PM] Ms. Rose:

The S.S. Rose...?

[2:39 PM] Mr. Brown:

Wow I spelled that bad

relast ionship

LOL

htting that go so far slump

[2:41 PM] Mr. Silver:

"Captain!  Incoming Relastian Ion Ship!"

"Raise shields! Rose Alert!"

[2:42 PM] Ms. Rose:

"Shields compromised, sir! Initiating hull torpedoes..."

[2:43 PM] Mr. Brown:

"Sir! I don't have enough crazy for you!"

[2:45 PM] Ms. Rose:

"These torpedoes were not made for craziness! We'd best impale the white whale with Truth Harpoons! Just like that Ahab guy did!"

[2:44 PM] Mr. Blue:

Why do you think he's "jumping ship"?

[2:47 PM] Mr. Silver:

The key here, of course, is determining if Ms. Rose is doing one of her self-depreciating things, or being sarcastic.

As the room is genuinely interested in our community member's relationship status, we are actually asking "wassup?"

[2:48 PM] Mr. Brown:

The kitten needs a kidney and he won't give her one

[2:49 PM] Ms. Rose:

Thank you for representing "the room", Mr. Silver. It would be great if we could all just go back to talking about something else.

So... have any good jokes about failed relationships between perfectly respectable individuals? LOL

[2:49 PM] Mr. Brown:

Well, I had a 2-year Relastian Ion Ship and she broke up with me on AIM

WTF?

Couldn't even do it in person or on the phone

Still stings

[2:50 PM] Ms. Rose:

Two years. Wow...

(Had something mean typed. Deleted.)

[3:09 PM] Mr. Silver:

Nice dodge, BTW

[3:09 PM] Ms. Rose:

*shifty eyes*

[3:14 PM] Mr. Silver:

(Ms. Rose) "Damn...had to say something... Uh...go goofy... Then Mr. Silver will throw a lot of smarm in the room and they'll crack jokes... CRAP! They are still interested! Ummm... Waffle until Mr. Brown or Mr. Blue swim to the other side of the tank and forget I said anything."

...

Well...

"Tis better to have loved and lost than to have taken some shrapnel in 'Nam" - Alfred Lord Tennyson

Or Tennisball

Or maybe it was Rambo

One of the great poets.

But in all seriousness, Ms. Rose, the sentiment is true...

Shrapnel sucks.

[3:24 PM] Ms. Rose:

Ahhhnold always said it was "not a tooo-mah". So there's that. :P

[3:24 PM] Mr. Silver:

Yes

(bows head and contemplates the wisdom)

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:27 AM] Mr. Silver:

Decent Turkey Day?

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:28 AM] Mr. Blue:

I worked but it was fine, you?

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:31 AM] Mr. Silver:

Lot of scramble to get prepped and then a lot of sitting around after eating it all.

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:31 AM] Mr. Blue:

We did our traditional spicy sausage pasta thing but with chicken sausage instead of pork (accidentally). Just as good though

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:33 AM] Mr. Silver:

Isn't that always the way? First the chickens sneak in, and then in a few years...BAM!!!  Turkey sausage in your pasta!

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:33 AM] Mr. Blue:

me: "This looks different."

mom: (looks at package) "You're nuts. It's spicy Italian sausage."

me: "It's pinker... not as red."

mom: (looking closer) "Oops...chicken."

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:35 AM] Mr. Silver:

(horror text rushes at screen) "They never expected!!!!"

(horror text rushes at screen) "...A cruel mistake!!!!"

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:35 AM] Mr. Blue:

“Night of the Chicken Sausage”!!!

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:39 AM] Mr. Silver:

(Tommy and Alice, in the alley, sotto voce)

"Look! It's Antonio the butcher...shh!"

"What? What's wrong, Alice?"

"His bushy mustache! It's gone!"

"My God! He's not really Italian!”

“Oh Tommy, I'm frightened!"

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:39 AM] Mr. Blue:

Heheh

After it soaks up all the stuff (heavy cream, cooking wine, parsley, rosemary, garlic cloves, red pepper) the type of meat is unidentifiable

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 8:40 AM] Mr. Silver:

(horror text rush) "What???"

(horror text rush) "Were they EATING?!?!"

...

(slurping sounds & chicken clucking off-screen.  Steadfast scientist being clung to by gasping blonde)

"See how it soaks up all the stuff?  It would be nigh unidentifiable if it weren't for that diabolic clucking."

"Oh professor!  How do we stop it!?"

“Stop cruel and heartless Nature in its progress? How indeed?”

...

(Wow! There's a rare one. I just read this all over and couldn't stop giggling. :-D Had to put an agent on hold!  The mustache did it.)

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 2:37 PM] Ms. Rose:

Just walked past the TV.  A Fox news headline said: “Active Shooter at Planned Parenthood in Colorado”.

(me) "I bet it was an 'active shooter' who got those ladies into trouble in the first place!" (I thank you...)

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 2:39 PM] Mr. Blue:

LOL

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 3:19 PM] Ms. Rose:

Thanks!

[‎11/‎27/‎2015 3:20 PM] Mr. Silver:

Bah-doom! Chissshhhhhhh!

[9:40 AM] Ms. Rose:

Speaking of smoke breaks... brb

[9:40 AM] Mr. Brown:

DEATH TUBE

Smoking cig on the cover

New band name just popped into my head. LOL

[9:48 AM] Ms. Rose:

"We are is DEATH TUBE and we're gonna ROCK YOU! Thank you, Detroit!"

*crowd goes nuts*

*band exits stage to smoke*

[9:53 AM] Mr. Silver:

(embarrassing pause...PA clicks) "Uhhh...the management would like everyone to remain calm.  Death Tube will be back, but due to federal smoking regulations we-- CALM DOWN PEOPLE!!! STOP THROWING THE CHAIRS!!!"

[9:56 AM] Ms. Rose:

I genuinely miss huge concerts where all kinds of crap was being thrown at the stage. Rock concerts nowadays are generally more well-behaved than libraries. :(

But I could tell stories...

[9:57 AM] Mr. Brown:

I went to a Travis Tritt concert once. There was a warring not to throw quarters at the stage.

[9:58 AM] Mr. Silver:

I stopped reading at "Went to a Travis Tritt concert once".

[9:59 AM] Mr. Brown:

I had no choice. It was my mother's idea.

[10:00 AM] Mr. Silver:

She still makes him wear the "I <3 Big Tritties" t-shirt to family functions.

372 - *-iggy Banks, and Mr. Brown Is All For Getting The Naked Truth Out There For All To See

[3:18 PM] Mr. Brown:

I just told Mr. Oleo about the time I went to a flea market and this guy had half a table of “nigg** banks”

You ever see those things? Wow

[3:19 PM] Mr. Silver:

Niggling?

[3:20 PM] Mr. Brown:

https://www.google.com/search?q=african+american+banks&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=899&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMI9JmYgebWyAIVCDMmCh1kZQMG#tbm=isch&q=nigger+banks

I tried typing in African American piggy banks

All I got was bunch of people holding piggy banks

[3:21 PM] Mr. Blue:

I’d have bought one if they were original from the Jim Crow days

[3:27 PM] Mr. Brown:

May have been. They looked old

[3:30 PM] Mr. Silver:

"Depress arm until it locks.  Place coin...or your guilty white soul...in hand.  Push release."

[1:33 PM] Mr. Brown:

I’m really starting to believe we need to start showing nudity all the time to everybody. Get this whole crap of “Oh no she posted a bikini pic and my children saw!”

She is wearing clothes, what's the issue?

[1:34 PM] Mr. Silver:

I'm consistently baffled by the bikini vs underwear attitude.

What happened? A woman can actually cover much MORE with underwear than a bikini, yet women wander around in strings and a few triangles of cloth...and the woman shopped all over to find that perfect flattering square foot of cloth...and clearly wants to be seen in it.

But underwear?  NO!  That's indecent!  Bad for the kids!  (who couldn't give a damn)

[1:34 PM] Mr. Brown:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3284827/Middle-school-teacher-center-controversy-body-building-posts-parents-called-immodest-pornographic.html

That’s what made me bring this up.

We don't hear this stuff coming out of European countries cause they see naked stuff all the time and understand its just normal body parts

[1:34 PM] Mr. Silver:

Well...the story is out of Utah.  They have special problems there. 

[1:36 PM] Mr. Brown:

Kids don't need to see, like, straight up sex and such.

But naked bodies should not be a issue

[1:36 PM] Mr. Silver:

She's a member of the Creepy Fitness Bellybutton Club, I see.

[1:36 PM] Mr. Brown:

Yes. Look at the muscles on that button

[1:39 PM] Mr. Blue:

Nothing says "healthy" like plastic surgery and obsessive amounts of exercising, tanning, and selfie posting

[1:41 PM] Mr. Brown:

If nudity was on TV and such - no straight up porn or anything - just nudity.

It would finally become common and we'd not be having issues with nudity

[1:42 PM] Mr. Blue:

Who finds breast implants attractive? Anyone?

[1:42 PM] Mr. Brown:

I like natural

I don't need an over-inflated piece of skin pointed at me

[1:42 PM] Mr. Blue:

Nobody's fooled by them.. they look like 2 cantaloupe halves

[1:44 PM] Mr. Brown:

I truly believe the only people that need any plastic surgery are those that have a real disfigurement, to make themselves feel better

[1:44 PM] Mr. Blue:

Right

Otherwise, embrace it.

If you have small boobs, embrace it

If you have big low-hangers, embrace it

[1:45 PM] Mr. Brown:

Like breast cancer and you have to get them taken off. Go ahead and get some new ones

[1:45 PM] Mr. Blue:

The technology isn't there yet, and they look stupid, and make you seem vain, and it's only going to attract superficial men/women

[1:45 PM] Mr. Silver:

(prospective, looking through sample book and prices) "I just don't know...uh...oh! What about this - a CH? That's a bargain! So I'd go from an A to a C?"

(surgeon) "Uh...no...CH stands for Cantaloupe Half."

[1:46 PM] Mr. Brown:

Actually, a talented surgeon can make them look good but they cost more money

[1:46 PM] Mr. Blue:

They're pretty rampant in the female fitness community.

Two ladies at my gym have them. Very ugly

[1:46 PM] Ms. Rose:

Just so long as us fat chicks be included in the nakedness posts. You want your kids to be exposed to "straight up nude" images? Your duty as "good dad" may be undermined by the fact that most "real, honest, decent" chicks around here are morbidly obese.

[1:46 PM] Mr. Brown:

Mrs Brown and I don't run and hide when naked, getting changed at the house, if Brown Jr. walks in

[1:47 PM] Ms. Rose:

Neither you nor Mrs Brown is morbidly obese. And neither are your children. I'm not sure you understand what a free gift that is.

Anyway, most boob job shoppers ask for way too big and “perky”. The big isn't the problem. The gravity-defying “perky” is.

"Saggy boobs are cool!*”

“Natural cleavage is awesome!*”

“Not ever having to touch a female in an intimate way is hipster!*”

(*=Unless she's chubby. Ain't no one likes that EVER. 'less she births your child, yo.)

[1:48 PM] Mr. Brown:

I read a article that is reporting a study showing bras are why boobs get saggy

Makes sense in some ways

[1:48 PM] Mr. Silver:

We don't need Playboy Channel naked...we need Discovery Channel naked.

However, despite what society needs, it turns out we gravitate to Playboy Channel for evolutionary reasons.

[1:51 PM] Mr. Brown:

I'm just saying normal nudity should not be a issue on TV. We are making our children grow up uncomfortable with that stuff because its shielded from them.

However, I do believe that they have to be shielded from porn

Sends wrong messages about things

Actually about a lot of things

They see that too early, and then they grow up thinking everything should happen like in those films.

“So if I get a maid she will have sex with me?”

[1:53 PM] Mr. Silver:

Wait... She won't?

(boring anthropologist peeks in) Ever wondered how human kids learned all about naked bodies and sex when no one had any privacy and we all lived in close knit communities through all those tens thousands of years before someone came up with prudery recently?

[1:53 PM] Ms. Rose:

No one--female or otherwise--will understand and grasp "what men want." And this is revolutionary. And it...it... It's crazy!

[1:53 PM] Mr. Silver:

"Nudity is beautiful, son!  Nudity is natural, daughter!  SEX IS DIRTY AND I'LL KILL YOU FOR SHOWING INTEREST!"

[1:56 PM] Mr. Brown:

I’m just saying, don't go and show them porn to explain sex

You should pick something that is actually educational

[1:56 PM] Mr. Silver:

“The NEA proudly presents Wicked Film's 'Sex Edutainment 1-Ohhh-1'.”

[1:57 PM] Mr. Brown:

I’m OK with explaining sex to my boys.

I just don't want them getting wrong impressions from porn films.

[1:58 PM] Mr. Silver:

Pick good porn films when the time comes, maybe.

There is a whole movement in non-exploitative, couples-friendly, healthy-relationship, realistic-situation adult films.

…

...

But WHO wants THAT?

[1:58 PM] Mr. Brown:

LOL

[1:58 PM] Mr. Blue:

Like, amateur?

[1:58 PM] Mr. Silver:

No. Like (simulated) loving couples being normal and feelin' frisky.

[1:58 PM] Mr. Brown:

They make educational porn for explaining sex, where its not extreme dirty crap.

[1:59 PM] Mr. Silver:

… … What have you been watching?

Technically, if it is recognized as educational material, it can't be called “porn”

[1:59 PM] Mr. Blue:

"Gather round kids.. today we're going to talk about rule 34."

".....and now our volunteer instructors, Sasha Grey and Lexington Steele, will demonstrate some examples..."

[2:00 PM] Ms. Rose:

We are humans. We stamp our feet upon the same Earth. But women have these certain parts, which must be activated internally. They are physiologically LARGER in there. And then there are these dudes - the males. Their external parts must be HARD and POINTY for all the women's THINGS!  And it's glorious!  Because. Because. Who cares about dudes with NOT POINTY stuff?!  GIMMIE ONE!  RAAAAAWWWWR!

[2:01 PM] Mr. Silver:

Frightening

(Therapy patient) "And then...she said...the words are etched in my mind, doc! She said..."

(Later) “Und vhere do you zhink you...vailed...to learn zat vomen are zexually agrrrezzive crrreatures mit deep drivez und dezirrrez, you patrriarrrchal pinkopf?”

[2:02 PM] Mr. Brown:

Better to educate then let them discover on their own

LOL

I hate people that full on shelter their kids to reality.

There are points in life that it would be best to explain, and not before. But if they come across stuff and have questions, don't shove it into the corner

[2:03 PM] Mr. Blue:

I don't think there's any wrong way or right way to raise kids or take care of a family. We all end up screwed up or not screwed up in the end. Who cares? Shelter...let 'em watch porn...whatever.  The human race is doomed either way.

[2:05 PM] Mr. Silver:

That's the spirit!

[2:05 PM] Mr. Brown:

LOL

But back to something Mr. Silver said - What did happen back then?

[2:10 PM] Mr. Silver:

You mean for the vast majority of humanity's existence when people wore little if any clothes and pursued their interests out in the open or in a communal shelter? Think about it. This cultural issue is all pretty new, Mr. Brown. Even today, I have great doubts that farm kids ever need a sex ed class or much of "the talk" to know how sex is supposed to work.

[2:10 PM] Mr. Brown:

LOL

So the villain in “The Force Awakens” is going to be named Kylo Ren

"Shut uuuuuup!!!! Yoooo EEEdiot!"

(Note, this was obviously before the film came out, so I didn't know the tempers of the two Rens were going to be quite so similar. - Mr. Silver)

[12:44 PM] Mr. Blue:

That didn't take long

[12:44 PM] Mr. Silver:

Nope

Exceptionally poorly considered, really

[12:44 PM] Mr. Blue:

The name?

[12:53 PM] Mr. Silver:

Well how many "Ren"s can you think of?

Drop a name like Kylo Ren (and Stimpy) in front of a bunch of geeks and the association was probably complete as soon as the first neuron fired.

[12:47 PM] Mr. Blue:

How about a Kylo Ren / Rilo Kiley meme?

It doesn't look like it's been done yet

[1:59 PM] Mr. Blue:

[2:39 PM] Mr. Silver:

So I have this car tracking thing from my insurance company

Got a report recently

I'd mentioned before I've gotten into this whole idea of coasting to save gas and wear.

This is my gas mileage:

City: 22MPG  (manufacturer rating: 20)

Highway: 34MPG (manufacturer rating: 27)

[2:43 PM] Mr. Blue:

I get 21.4 mpg and I do not baby it

Do you coast in neutral or in gear?

[2:44 PM] Mr. Silver:

Neutral

[2:45 PM] Mr. Blue:

That seems like a big discrepancy between city and highway

[2:45 PM] Mr. Silver:

On the right stretch of road around here and no one behind me to ruin it, I've done a couple miles coasting...LOVE those

[2:45 PM] Mr. Blue:

The manufacturer rating is 7 mpg difference but you're getting 12?

[2:45 PM] Mr. Silver:

Rachel drives city, mainly, and my "average" ratings always visibly drop a ton afterwards. Which means I'm actually doing even better.

[2:45 PM] Mr. Blue:

Sometimes I’ll try to see how far i can coast UP hill if nobody's around

I'd imagine the base ratings get worse as a car ages too.

[2:46 PM] Mr. Silver:

Yup

It's a 2005

We set off on various errands and a trip to (town) and back yesterday.  The average she left it at was 22MPG. I got it to 25.5 by time we were done.

She won't try it, though, and I'm OK with that. Mistakes can happen, like forgetting the shift position and sliding to Reverse, or hitting the gas too early and jolting the transmission.

We've come to call a good starting coast: "Riding the Yellow"

"Ri-ide the YEL-low!"

"Wheeeee!"

For years, on the right sort of hill, Mrs. Silver and Silver Jr. and I (me alone long before) would raise our hands as if on a roller coaster and say "whee!"

Mrs. Silver did that in a car full of women, including Mr. Gray's wife, Mr. Yellow's wife, and another.

Mrs. Yellow, being a lovely mess of psychology, decided to show her mental stability and maturity by insanely and immaturely scolding her:

"We're adults!  We don't do such things!  Only teens and kids would do such things!"

With everyone else already smirking at this nonsense already, Mrs. Silver countered -

"Yeah? Well we like having fun in the car, so if you want to be old and boring, that's up to you."

(Me later) "She's pathetic...of course she's also completely screwed up."

Anyway, I decided the game needed a name, and there was an old amusement park pinball machine with a Coney Island theme ("The Cyclone"). Missions were classic rides...so a barker voice would shout out things like - "RI-ide the CY-clone!"

So I shout

"RI-ide the YEL-low!"

And we all go

"Wheeeee!"

[3:20 PM] Mr. Blue:

LOL

[3:22 PM] Mr. Blue:

A language isolate, Basque is believed one of the few surviving pre-Indo-European languages in Europe, and the only one in Western Europe.

Cool

[3:23 PM] Mr. Silver:

Yes

(considers a joke about another isolate Indo-Euro language being called “Indiglo” but can't come up with a punchline that uses “Basque-ing In-di-glo” since my post-work brain is a dirty dishrag)
