[7:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
Rant!
But not anything work related
Silver Jr. playing with a pottery wheel. Mrs. Silver doing a computer thing.
"Wow! I can watch whatever I want on the TV!"
Find something on HBO Go.
Can't play it because the stupid service has forgotten for a 3rd time that I activated it...and Mrs. Silver is on the computer...
"Maybe it's On Demand on HBO!"
Isn't
"Uh...OK, I'll watch my least favorite Bond movie to see if I was right about it!"
I get 10 minutes in to "License to Kill"
(Mrs. Silver) "I want to watch with you!"
(fume) "Well, it's a violent one...but I'll restart."
(Silver Jr.) "I'm done. What are we watching?"
Pause 10 minutes to clean up “pottery”.
"Well...you can't watch this one, so...um...HERE we go. You haven't seen this one. It's generally considered the worst one. Haven't seen it in years."
(Everyone) "OK!"
Start watching...sound cuts out and never comes back.
Restart it.
[7:53 AM] Mr. Red:
**Shuts TV off, goes to bed**
[7:55 AM] Mr. Silver:
Fast forward and the thing goes berserk...zipping at 10x no stopping it.
Force it off.
Start again.
All's going well.
And then it freezes solid.
And I explode.
(Mrs. Silver) "Why are you so upset?"
“Are you KIDDING ME???"
[7:56 AM] Mr. Red:
**Shuts TV off, goes to bed ... Grabs bottle of vodka along the way**
Which Bond film?
[7:56 AM] Mr. Silver:
"A View to a Kill"
[7:56 AM] Mr. Red:
Don't remember it much. Isn't that the one with Grace Jones?
[7:57 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes
Got as far as the silly butterfly assassination thing and that was it.
Granted, Mrs. Silver had no context and didn't witness everything that went wrong to that point so her question was fair, but man. Can't a guy just watch a friggin movie?
[8:01 AM] Mr. Red:
The universe was telling you, "This movie SUCKS, give it up. Here, I'll spare you the horribleness."
[8:01 AM] Mr. Silver:
All three of the ones I wanted to watch, apparently.
"We at HBO GO admit we put this movie on the list but do not recommend you watch your selection. Please forgive us wiping your account."
[8:30 AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe the On Demand people hate Dalton's Bond
[8:31 AM] Mr. Silver:
Well, we watched "The Living Daylights" with no problem a few days ago.
The HBO GO thing was "Millennium"
When I couldn't get it, I decided to try "License to Kill" on my own. And then Silver Jr. wanted to watch so we settled and failed to watch "View to a Kill".
I was Roger Moore's last Bond
[8:32 AM] Mr. Blue:
Oh okay
"Moore isn't just long in the tooth – he's got tusks, and what looks like an eye job has given him the pie-eyed blankness of a zombie. He's not believable anymore in the action sequences, even less so in the romantic scenes – it's like watching women fall all over Gabby Hayes."
[8:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
LOL
He's certainly far past his prime in it
"James Bond will return in 'You Brats Get Off My Lawn'."
[8:44 AM] Mr. Blue:
Although some praised it. A few even said it was Moore's best
Grace Jones.. don't get her appeal
Although it worked in Conan 2 with her as a female warrior type
[8:47 AM] Mr. Silver:
Grace Jones was weird
I liked a couple of her songs/videos
[8:50 AM] Mr. Blue:
She dated Dolph Lundgren for a bit
[9:00 AM] Ms. Rose:
Sounds like that was a great movie you tried to saw last night, Mr. Silver.
[9:01 AM] Mr. Silver:
According to Tom H (ex-Katzenjammer and gaming buddy) she used to live next door to his parents' house in NY and made it a habit to spend her time naked in the back yard...
(Tom) "So that was interesting for me."
[9:01 AM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[2:04 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Las Vegas Police Bethinks Limp-Wristed Gun Nut Doth Protest Too Much"
"Local pansy and conspiracy theorist – pictured here weakly holding on to assault rifle – looks barely tough enough to hold up the helmet and body armor he's put on."
Hehe...his name is Mr. Brown.
Sorry man
[2:14 PM] Mr. Blue:
"Moist Baby Arrested for Terroristic Threats"
(Brown) "All these mass shootings are false flags. I'll give 'em a real false flag!"
[2:02 PM] Mr. Blue:
It's weird that we never came up for any word to describe the years between
2000-2009 and 2010-2019, like the Nineties... Forties... etc.
[2:56 PM] Mr. Silver:
It was "The Jetsons Were Full of Shit 2000s" and the "Where's My F-ing Rocket Belt 10s", Mr. Blue.
[3:04 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[3:18 PM] Mr. Silver:
Someone online poorly suggested (and I fixed) "The Naughty Noughties" for the one.
How about "The Spleen Teens"?
[3:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
“Teens” makes sense but I've never heard anyone use it
[1:08 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Sales Techniques That Made Successful Woman Tycoon Hundreds Of Dollars Per Year In Native Country Fail Horribly In America"
[1:13 PM] Mr. Blue:
She looks like she's 3'10"
Maybe that weird jumper is causing an optical illusion
[1:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
I'm not really sure how competitive the live cricket and worm market is in the NY subway. Maybe it's a big deal and the teens were protecting their turf.
"An estimated small fortune in stock - three to five dollars in LIVE snacks - was lost in the scuffle."
[12:39 PM] Ms. Rose:
Sorry, had to pee and got side-tracked
[12:41 PM] Mr. Silver:
Oh...that reminds me. You two weren't here for this call:
Requested login names: “kissfanz” and “mrspeed”
“Mr Speed” is a KISS song.
But I was SOOOO tempted to say "OK, let's set up 'Mrs. Peed' next."
[PM] Mr. Silver:
"Modern Australian Teen Girls Try New Interactive Virtual SIM Game - Opt For Open Source Version With All Levels Unlocked"
"There's SO many more features. The character-creation mini game is a LOT of fun – we played it over and over everywhere we could sneak off for a round til we leveled in a couple months. You apparently get a result that looks like a mix of you and your team mate, which is super cool." says Shiela X, a 9th month subscriber to the new MMO.
"I'm just grinding on ingesting crafting materials now...my obstetrician says I'll have enough EXP in 2 more months."
[2:34 PM] Mr. Blue:
Hehe
[2:36 PM] Mr. Silver:
It really was a rather stupid idea
"Let's make a toy that awakens and trains instincts that are millions of years old."
Girls have been playing with toy babies for thousands of years -- I wonder why they like them.
[2:48 PM] Mr. Blue:
:^)
[3:29 PM] Mr. Silver:
Before I forget
Mrs. Silver is in groups with “only kids”, trading stories of the hassles they get from multi-kid parents... lot of it religious.
I said "Tell them this:
“First thing God told Adam and Eve was to be fruitful and multiply, and his own Son didn’t do what He asked. God is still waiting to have grandchildren.”
[8:51 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Team Makes Solid That Acts Like a Solid That Lets Atoms Flow Through It"
[9:21 AM] Mr. Blue:
So my neighbor came to me last night and showed me a bunch of pink and blue markers on my property labeled "wetlands delineation".
It's on a part of property I don't pass by, but he does every day. Said they can't have been more than a day or two old.
I assume I know what it means but I'm not sure why they'd come mark it now.
And the area they marked is... not a wetland
[9:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
Is it... dampland?
[9:25 AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe when it rains
It's a tiny area
Like it's an old vehicle turnaround for mine equipment... now it's just kind of a grassy clearing
[9:30 AM] Mr. Brown:
I guess any land that retains water at some point would be a wet land
[9:50 AM] Mr. Blue:
I get that, but all the rest of the time it's a dryland
[9:52 AM] Mr. Silver:
PA Conservationists Discover Dryland That Acts Like Wetland That Lets Markers Run Through It
