420 - Making Errors For Fun, King Of Muricans, Does The Cat Care You Are Playing?, "Try And Write English", Killer Apostrophe's, and "Being That He Lacks A Bit"

(Sorry its been a long time...there was pages and pages of Trump election victory bitching and quipping, and though some of it was worth reading for analysis or humor, it was too big of a mess to face.  I finally just cut out 95% of it just to have something to start posting again - Mr. Silver)

[‎1:38 PM] Mr. Brown:

The computer does not know why the computer does not work

[‎1:39 PM] Mr. Silver:

Like "This Windows Error has caused an error and needs to be closed"?

[‎1:40 PM] Ms. Rose:

"Please click to terminate the application, or terminate the application by clicking the 'terminate' button."

See, that's one of the big things I miss about

1. working for a company of 40 people and
2. being their only database programmer/IT person.

I used to intentionally code error messages that said stuff like "You effed up. Better call IT."

And everyone laughed and it was funny, innocent humor.

Google thinks it's funny with its "Awww, snap" error. Please. Kindergarten stuff. It's not a real customized error unless the user feels totally humiliated.

"ERROR: You just did that thing I told you not to do. Please go read your email."

[‎1:45 PM] Mr. Brown:

“Windows has caused a “Whoomp! There it is!” Error”

[‎1:51 PM] Mr. Silver:

Hehe

[9:35 AM] Mr. Blue:

Everyone hates illegal immigration (except illegal immigrants and farmers) but neither party has had the guts to tackle the issue.  Maybe, finally, it'll get resolved, even if perhaps heavy-handedly

And if Trump doesn't build his wall, which was pretty much his primary campaign promise, he ain't getting re-elected in 4 years so you can look forward to someone else in 2020

[9:37 AM] Ms. Rose:

I would vote for you if you ran, solely based on "Everyone hates illegal immigration, except illegal immigrants."

Blue 2020!

LOL

[9:37 AM] Mr. Silver:

(will believe when seen)

I've been a crushing pessimist all morning ;)

[9:38 AM] Ms. Rose:

Crushing pessimism would be a good platform to run on, too.

[9:38 AM] Mr. Silver:

Yes

I was challenged as a Democrat Far Left Lib-Tard Bastard who is “everything wrong with this country” recently.

I told him honestly, though.

“I'm a radical Technocrat and have been for, like, ever.”

[9:45 AM] Ms. Rose:

I think the really old-timeys came up with the "civic duty" of voting back when democracy was like the craziest idea in the world.

"You must do this new thing called voting!"“But, why?”
"Um, because, you have to. Or this won't work and you'll be stuck with a King."“You said "duty". Uhh huh huh huh!”

[9:49 AM] Mr. Blue:

I didn't really like either candidate

[9:56 AM] Mr. Silver:

And so...we elected a king

“Our Presidency was Our God-given right, so of course We won.”

As far as principles I was a Bernie guy.  Betting the DNC is kicking themselves over that.

[9:57 AM] Mr. Blue:

I've seen people both blame Bernie for opening Clinton wounds that the GOP exploited, and blame the Dems for their treatment of Bernie that pushed a lot of progressives to either stay home, or in some cases maybe even vote for Trump out of spite

I'd go with the latter.

[9:59 AM] Mr. Silver:

Between Clinton and Trump, Clinton was incredibly more qualified.  There really was no choice between them.

...apparently...

The "Intelligent Vote" segment of the population wasn't out in big numbers, I guess.

[10:01 AM] Mr. Blue:

Imagine what this does to Trump's ego

That's the real winner

[10:01 AM] Mr. Silver:

Infinity+1?

Victory had no effect on his ego at all.

[10:02 AM] Ms. Rose:

Imagine what the victory will do for his hair!

[10:03 AM] Mr. Blue:

That will be a mandatory hairstyle for all men in 2 years time

[10:03 AM] Ms. Rose:

"For my new Chief of Staff, I elect toupee #23. I think you'll love him. Definitely one of my most trusted and fluffy hairpieces."

[10:03 AM] Mr. Silver:

LOL

[1:54 PM] Ms. Rose:

Downloaded the "Cat Life" game.

(In-Game text) "There are many type of cat. New cat will be given is stage with marking clear. It will be glad if tap on cat is carried out! Cat is me come running up when double-tap floor! When you mix two favourite cats... ... a lovely kitten is produced!"

"Try to (music note) enjoy the leisurely life with cat. Cat after another going to add!"

[1:56 PM] Mr. Silver:

Cat Life, eh?

[1:57 PM] Ms. Rose:

"Firstly, try to release cat." Man, this is getting complicated.

"Tutorial is over. Please take a walk to increase cat." :(

[2:16 PM] Mr. Blue:

Was this written by foreigners?

I’m out, gonna go build a fall-out shelter

[2:27 PM] Ms. Rose:

I just want to increase cat, you know?

[2:27 PM] Mr. Silver:

Understandable

[2:36 PM] Ms. Rose:

Cat Life is also great because it gives you goals like "400 points." And you touch one button and everything starts exploding and you get like 623,000 points.

[2:38 PM] Mr. Silver:

That's very cat like. 

I can't walk in my house for star bursts and piles of sparkles

[2:38 PM] Ms. Rose:

Hahaha!

[2:27 PM] Mr. Silver:

Try and...

My current peeve is "try and"

[2:28 PM] Ms. Rose:

Is that the opposite of "can't even?"

[2:28 PM] Mr. Silver:

Unfortunately I didn't remember it til Mr. Blue left and Mr. Brown wasn't in.

It came to my especial attention in reading Harry Potter books again

"Augh!  She's English educated!  I thought they could write!"

[2:30 PM] Ms. Rose:

Yeah, I totally know what you mean. (*attempts to hide fact that she's never read Harry Potter*)

[2:30 PM] Mr. Silver:

"Are you seriously going to try and break into the bank?" 

"He's going to try and kill me if he catches me!"

(me) "J.K.!!! It's 'try to'!  What are you?  American?"

"Is he going to try Harry's patience before he kills him?"

[2:31 PM] Ms. Rose:

But I feel like "try and" is sort of that sweet British-y thing of feigning overachievement, even though you can't even write gud.

[2:32 PM] Mr. Silver:

Yes, well once I really noticed it, I found it's ubiquitous in English. It’s everywhere.

Friggin' micro idiom

[2:32 PM] Ms. Rose:

Stating that you are going to kill someone and also TRY to kill someone sounds like extra effort!

[2:32 PM] Mr. Silver:

"He will try killing me, and succeed!"

[2:33 PM] Ms. Rose:

(rofl)

(Hagrid) "You're a try-er, Harry!"

[2:33 PM] Mr. Silver:

"I expect several stages of practice before this is over, Dumbledore!"

[9:04 AM] Mr. Silver:

Morning Ms. Rose

I'm going to try, and have a good day today.

But I think the agent's are going to try, and drive me crazy.

[9:05 AM] Ms. Rose:

Hieee!

[9:05 AM] Mr. Silver:

(swat's extra apostrophe)

They're swarming!

(swing's apostrophe swatter!)

AUGH!

[9:07 AM] Ms. Rose:

*hands Mr. Silver industrial sized can of apostrophe spray*

[9:07 AM] Mr. Silver:

Thank's

[9:08 AM] Ms. Rose:

LOL

[9:08 AM] Mr. Silver:

:S

[3:22 PM] Sarah:

Is anyone talking to John Lakovich?

[3:23 PM] Mr. Silver:

A lesser strain of John Malkovich.

[3:23 PM] Alec:

LOL

[3:24 PM] Thomas:

I legit LOL'd on a phone call

Haha

[3:24 PM] Mr. Silver:

(chuckle)

[3:26 PM] Mr. Blue:

“Becoming John Lakovich”, from Asylum Studios

[3:26 PM] Ms. Rose:

(rofl)

[3:27 PM] Mr. Silver:

Snerk!
