"Salads
and pies downstairs for anyone who wants pies!"
[12:22
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
I
saw some folks taking a tiny amount of pasta salad so people
wouldn’t' think they weren't just eating pie for lunch.
Oops,
double neg
[12:36
PM] Mr. Silver:
Add
another negative and it'll balance out.
“so
people wouldn't think they weren't just not eating pie for lunch”
No...still
not right
“so
no people wouldn't think they weren't not just not eating pie for
lunch”
...
Needs
an “ain't”...
Just
a sec
[12:40
PM] Mr. Blue:
“some
folks ain't taking a tiny amount of no pasta salad so people wouldn't
not think they weren't eating no pie for lunch”
[12:40
PM] Mr. Silver:
“so
there ain't no people wouldn't be thinkin' they weren't not just not
eating no pie for lunch”
Got
it!
[12:42
PM] Ms. Rose:
Might
need an "I reckon" at the beginning.
[12:42
PM] Mr. Silver:
Both
have merits, honestly. Ms. Rose? You edit. Which
flows better?
"I
reckon" would do well attached as the ending as well.
Do
we dare tack it on twice?
[12:43
PM] Ms. Rose:
“I
reckon some folks ain't taking no tiny bit of the pasta salad, so's
other folks ain't they weren't not eating juss pie for lunch.”
[12:43
PM] Mr. Blue:
Just
a "reckon" at the beginning
Maybe
take the S off folks too
[12:44
PM] Ms. Rose:
Ooops,
I missed a "think" in there.
[12:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
How
about using “cotton” as a verb?
[12:44
PM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
Wait!
Need an "I seen" too. Like what we make fun of Mr. Brown
for using.
“I
seen folks ain't take no tiny bit of pasta salad; I reckon they's
worried about other folk cottonin' they weren't not eating juss pie
for lunch.”
If
only there were a way to write 'pie' to tell readers that it should
be pronounced 'paaaaah' without making the whole sentence
meaningless.
[12:44
PM] Mr. Silver:
LOL
[1:05
PM] Mr. Brown:
So
this “Gods of Egypt” film that is on the TV
They
made the gods really large
All
the regular people are little
[1:17
PM] Mr. Silver:
Which
is kind of accurate considering how big ancient Egyptians were.
(post
article – link lost – Mr. Silver)
If
the four of us walked into the court of a pharaoh, we'd be legitimate
giants.
"They
aren't gods! They're time travelers from 5000 years in the future!"
[1:18
PM] Mr. Brown:
"That's true, but"
*Bang!*
“Any
questions?”
[1:19
PM] Mr. Silver:
(holding
thrashing warrior in the air) "It's like roughhousing with my kid."
[1:20
PM] Mr. Brown:
Hmm
Average
male being 5' 3”?
That’s
pretty short.
Deficient
in protein
[1:22
PM] Mr. Silver:
Add
in parasites
You
don’t really ever see any buff or tubby people in their pictures
either…
Everyone
is short and thin.
100lb
5-footers
Here...this
is my height vs an (abnormally tubby) 5' tall ancient Egyptian
These
always kill me
Goliath
from David and Goliath could have been "Guy From Sweden vs Wee
Levant Kid"
[2:46
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah,
you think Arnold is big, then you see somebody like that.
[2:48
PM] Mr. Silver:
And
Arnold IS huge...I'm 5 notches down and not built very robustly
I'm
going to make a composite as close as I can do.
(Ended
up with Paul Simon at 5'3” and Vanessa Hudgens at
5'1” for our average ancient Egyptians. Green line over them is average USA Male...my height. Blue is average USA female. - Mr. Silver)
[2:50
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
think Andre played the Dagoth in Conan the Destroyer
[2:51
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes
See,
I'm built like Chamberlain - my upper arms look strangely shaped
because I'm lanky
[2:54
PM] Mr. Silver:
She's
5'6"
Yes,
that's right...she's 3" taller than an ancient Egyptian man,
and is probably fit enough to smash one.
[7:13
AM] Mr. Silver:
(Walking
to work) "You've been meaning to look up X. Remember
to look up X when you get to work. You'll finally know all
about X."
(Signs
in, gets settled) "You've been meaning to look up... ... [white
noise in head] … Shit."
I
did remember to look up "York", however.
[7:14
AM] Mr. Red:
Funny
you mention that, because there is something I have been meaning to
look up.
And
now ... I can't remember what it was
[7:15
AM] Mr. Silver:
"New
York New York" has been stuck in my head since I watched
"Highlander" the other night.
[7:15
AM] Mr. Red:
Eeewww
[7:15
AM] Mr. Silver:
Yeah...not
my favorite earworm.
Always
comes off as one of Sinatra's "I'm the most awesome guy in the
world" songs.
"Start
spreadin' the news...”
"(Like anyone cares...)"
"I'm
leavin' today..."
"(We thought you'd moved away ages ago, honestly...)"
[7:18
AM] Mr. Red:
LOL
[7:21
AM] Mr. Silver:
If
you read
the lyrics, it comes off as a guy really hoping he achieves
greatness.
As
Sinatra sings
it, it comes off like everyone else and everywhere else is beneath
him and he's awesome by divine right.
I
wonder if anyone has ever sung a humble version.
[7:23
AM] Mr. Red:
I
bet that would make a completely different song and people would be
amazed.
[7:24
AM] Mr. Silver:
Starting
to sound like there is.
Have
to have a listen - "Originally, Sinatra's version was played
after a Yankees win, and the Minnelli version after a loss."
(Minelli
sang it first)
[7:25
AM] Mr. Red:
I’ll
have to look for that
[7:25
AM] Mr. Silver:
Yup.
Already emailed it home.
(There
isn't. Minnelli's sucks too. - Mr. Silver)
[1:53
PM] Mr. Silver:
Did you just call her Superwoman?
[1:56
PM] Mr. Brown:
Wonder...
Super... all the same
[1:56
PM] Mr. Blue:
[smugly]
More like “Blunder Woman”
[1:57
PM] Mr. Brown:
There
are pictures of her in the Captain America era in this film
So
I guess her film with show her back in war time which then will
connect to this film
and
so on as long as they get money to do Justice League
[2:00
PM] Mr. Silver:
World
War Two is – correctly – better known as The Captain America Era.
Well
the golden age heroes all fought Nazis, after all.
Wonder
Woman isn't exactly a human.
In
at least one origin, she was just sculpted.
[2:06
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yep
[2:11
PM] Ms. Rose:
REALLY?!?!
Exciting!
[2:29
PM] Mr. Silver:
Decided
to look.
Wonder
Woman's origin story relates that she was sculpted from clay by
her mother Queen Hippolyta and given life by Athena,
along with superhuman powers as gifts by the Greek Gods.
However, in recent years artists updated her profile: she has been
depicted as the daughter of Zeus, and jointly raised by her
mother Hippolyta and her aunts Antiope and Menalippe; artists George
Perez gave her a muscular look and emphasized her Amazonian
heritage; artist Jim Lee redesigned Diana's costume to
include pants; she inherits Ares's divine abilities, becoming the
personified "God of War"; and most recently, writer Greg
Rucka, clarified her sexuality, giving her a backstory that includes
positive relationships with women.
...
"
positive relationships with women "
Oh
just say it, ya goobers.
"You
know...Those two have a 'positive relationship'."
"Like
coworkers?"
"No
no... 'positive relationship'."
"Like
BFFs?"
"...
Well... Maybe. What do the letters stand for?"
"Best
Friends Forever."
"No
no no... not that. 'Positive relationship' "
"Something
in your eye? What's with the winking?"
