414 - Exotic Foreign Wastes, The Curse Of Colonel Sanders, Old Meat Of The Highest Damned Quality, It's Blenda!!!, Call The Next One A 'Mars Crasher' For Luck, Oligodendrocyte Myelination 101, and His Poker Face Looks So Natural

(Re:  www.geoguessr.com -- Mr. Silver)
[‎1:46 PM] Mr. Brown:
Well almost found where I was in Mexico using a tobacco store

[‎1:55 PM] Mr. Silver:
"I vill not buy this tobacconist, IT is scratched"
Haven't played that in a while
[‎1:59 PM] Mr. Brown:
But I figured out I was in Iceland

[‎2:00 PM] Mr. Silver:
"The eventual giveaway that it wasn't Mexico was that it was full of Icelandic stuff."
[‎2:00 PM] Mr. Brown:
They put me by a supermarket
With food in Icelandic
But supermarket was written in English

[‎2:01 PM] Mr. Silver:
Thus, Mexico
The “Exotic American” supermarket
[In-store restaurant a la 'Ikea' serving American food experiences like peanut butter and grape jelly on white bread]
(Experienced patron) "What do you think?  It's almost like candy, isn't it?"

(Newbie) "So it's some sort of dessert?"  
(Experienced patron) "Oh no, this is a luncheon standard. Try the 'root beer'.  I'll warn you, it’s kind of shocking."
(newbie) "OMG!  It's like herbal cough medicine!  Why is it carbonated?"
(Note, I've seen this reaction by non-Americans to root beer in written and youtube form several times online.  Hehe.  Neither white bread nor peanut butter tends to review well either)
[‎2:18 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
I like cream soda

[‎2:19 PM] Mr. Brown:
I like sarsaparilla

[‎2:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
I like the occasional cream soda.
[‎2:20 PM] Mr. Brown:
OK, I just mixed up South Africa with Australia

[‎2:21 PM] Mr. Blue:
Easy to do
Red dirt, drive on the left side
But if you see black people, you're in SA, friend.

[‎2:22 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Hmmm...I've clicked through endless miles of dry dirt for 30 minutes... tough call.  (flips coin) Australia then.  (click)  Dammit!"
[‎2:22 PM] Mr. Blue:
Or if you see vehicles that look like they shouldn't be on the road... SA

[‎2:23 PM] Mr. Brown:
I saw one full of junk

[‎2:27 PM] Mr. Silver:
Contrary to film logic, if the vehicles look like they should be in a Mad Max film you might think 'Australia!', but you'd be wrong.



[‎12:16 PM] Mr. Silver:
Vaguely recalled this curse.  I didn't know what originally brought it on though.

I've seen Sanders show up in other Japanese culture stuff
There was an anime where there characters were watching a horror/thriller movie and the victim on screen saw the white suit appearing from the shadows, and finally it was Sanders (Panic)  "It's!  It's!  THE COLONEL!!!"  I thought it was a joke by the translators at the time.

[‎12:27 PM] Mr. Blue:
I like the colonel with anime eyes

[‎12:33 PM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe
Jebus!  Japanese "Kentucky Christmas" costs $40 and comes with champagne and cake?
This keeps getting weirder.  I'm glad I clicked it.
Heh



[‎12:40 PM] Mr. Silver:
So...question - "It was there where he (Col. Sanders) began cooking for roadside customers, serving fried chicken, steaks, and country ham in the residential building attached to the station."
Is there an “urban ham”?

[‎12:42 PM] Mr. Blue:
Did we need the picture of the guy holding it?
Looks like the ham isn't the only thing aging on racks

[‎12:48 PM] Mr. Silver:
(Ham Guy leading tour) "Step on over to our Old Meat section and have a look.  This one was here when we bought the land in 1843."
"Whole hams may need to be scrubbed and soaked for several hours before eating to remove the salt cure and mold."
Or buried.
[‎12:49 PM] Mr. Blue:
"Grab yourself a slice and place it directly into the toilet."

 
He's George Takei in white face
[‎12:49 PM] Mr. Silver:
"The United Pallor of Benton"
Maybe the guy in the picture is actually named "Country Ham"
[‎12:51 PM] Mr. Blue:
Their website is bentonscountryhams2.com
Looks like bentonscountryhams.com got hacked, don't try it
$65 for a whole ham that's been sitting in someone's shed for 8 months... I'm intrigued.

[‎12:54 PM] Mr. Silver:
I've probably had plenty of it over the years, it was fantastic, and I never gave it a second thought...but...

[‎1:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
Now I want some danged ham

[‎1:07 PM] Mr. Silver:
Sounds like what's for dinner tonight
[‎1:14 PM] Ms. Rose:
A preacher's wife goes to the butcher. The butcher asks if she'd like to try some damn ham. The preacher's wife is shocked. The butcher explains that "Dam Ham" is the brand name of the meat and shows her the packaging with the beaver and dam logo.
That night, the preacher asks, "What's for dinner?" His wife says she bought some damn ham from the butcher. The preacher scolds his wife for using such language in their home. She explains the "Dam Ham brand name and their logo.
At the dinner table, the preacher asks his 16-year-old son to pass him the "Dam Ham." The son replies, "I'll pass the damn ham if you pass me the f**kin' mashed potatoes."

[‎1:22 PM] Mr. Silver:
:D



[‎11:08 AM] Mr. Blue:
Client’s first name is "Blenda"... come on

[‎11:09 AM] Ms. Rose:
Wow.

[‎11:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Soylent Blennd is made of Blenda!  It's Blenda!  It's Blendaaaaa!"  

or...Boston accent "Ma got this wicked Vitamix for my baby showah."



[‎2:39 PM] Mr. Silver:
These people could probably save a bunch of money just sending something less expensive to crash.

Based on the picture, I'm thinking a giant Jiffy Pop
"Turns out we kinda set ourselves up in a self-fulfilling prophesy.  When we named it, we didn't consider 'schiaparilli' translates to 'obliterated tinfoil'."
[‎2:48 PM] Mr. Blue:
Euro space flights take off from Guyana... weird
I guess Guyana is a part of France and thus Europe, so maybe not that weird

[‎2:51 PM] Mr. Silver:
"For our next crash, we're thinking of going more Strong and German, like the "Zerdrückt Mülltonne" lander.
[‎2:52 PM] Mr. Blue:
Hindenburg II

[‎2:52 PM] Mr. Brown:
Boomprobe
They should just start naming things to make it more personal.
Like call the next one Glenn
“We lost communication with Glenn”
“Glenn opened the chute too early”
“Glenn really fell apart.”

[‎2:56 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Employing the witty use of hand gesture quotation marks, European Space Agency engineers are still trying to "piece together" exactly what went wrong at some point during the lander’s “descent” yesterday. "



[‎9:48 AM] Mr. Silver:
Saving this all morning:

"Uh...yeah... That...um...goes without saying."
I saw it on Phys.org this morning and thought "Damn.  I was really good at biology, but that's a harsh title to chew through."
[‎9:57 AM] Mr. Blue:
“Oligodendrocytes selectively myelinate a particular set of axons in the white matter”
Yeah.  No shit, dumbass.

[‎9:58 AM] Ms. Rose:
(rofl) at Mr. Blue

[‎9:58 AM] Mr. Blue:
Like when Homer gets a coupon for boudoir photography and he looks up the word boudoir, then photography, then boudoir again

[‎10:02 AM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe



[‎1:59 PM] Mr. Blue:

I wonder why Samoans are so fat
Wow, 80% of Samoans are obese
Reasons for this issue include mining operations that have left not much arable land; as a result, much of the local diet is of processed, calorie-dense, imported food such as Spam or corned beef,[2] rather than fresh fish, fruit and vegetables.[3] In addition, cultural factors have been blamed, such as associating a large body size with wealth and power, or changing ways of living, with children leading more sedentary lives.[4]

[‎2:20 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yo, your Sa-Mammoan so fat, she should be weighed as cargo on Samoan flights
[‎2:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
Back before planes, Samoans were used for ballast






[2:33 PM] Mr. Blue:
How is he *winning*?
[‎2:36 PM] Mr. Silver:
He has no tell when he's bluffing
