[3:26
PM] Mr. Silver:
Of
course you know that Pearl Jam made the Hall of Fame
[3:28
PM] Ms. Rose:
Duh.
I've been dancing in my chair all day.
Along
with Tupac (he must still be alive!) and Yes and Journey (who should
have been inducted eons ago.) Will be a interesting induction
ceremony, at the least.
[3:28
PM] Mr. Silver:
Joan
Baez also got in.
[3:29
PM] Ms. Rose:
Oh
yeah, Joan Baez too.
[3:29
PM] Mr. Silver:
Because
when I think “Rock and Roll”, I think of a woman who (I believe)
has never composed or performed any Rock and Roll.
The
list I saw mainly illustrates the following:
1.
No one can actually tell you what Rock and Roll is
and
2.
The Hall of Fame has a chronic history of not inducting groups and
individuals who should have already been in the Hall of Fame decades
ago...like "Yes".
I
swear they have to go through a list every year, write down everyone
ever involved in music since the Blues Age who is not already in the
HoF and say "Hell...we can't induct ALL of these!"
Then
they pick 10 at random out of The Pinball Wizard's hat.
[3:33
PM] Ms. Rose:
I
really don't give a crap. The band I have loved and followed and been
obsessed with since I was 11 (through many boyfriends, a marriage,
two dogs, countless cats, and all of the Golden Girls episodes) is
getting into the Hall of Fame. THAT is rock, to me, mostly. (rock)
[3:33
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Emo
Philips did that 'Downers
Grove' song!"
"Put
him in the hat with K.I.S.S and Pink Floyd"
"Ok"
[3:36
PM] Ms. Rose:
And
yeah - Journey and Yes. How are they not already in there?
[3:37
PM] Mr. Silver:
Yup
[8:18
AM] Mr. Silver:
Went
to and had a Yule feast/party/ceremony last night. Was a good
time.
[8:30
AM] Mr. Blue:
What'd
you have?
[8:33
AM] Mr. Silver:
Well
it was very American Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey traditional.
We contributed mushy peas.
Well
received.
A
couple guests there had tried it because we'd brought it to other
dinners they'd been to. But the one guy was excited about it
because he hadn't had mushy peas since he was in England.
(tastes...tastes
again...) "Actually, this is the best mushy peas I've ever had.
Better than anything over there."
Merry
Egomas to me.
[8:43
AM] Mr. Blue:
Was
this with the Unitarian church?
[8:44
AM] Mr. Silver:
Yeah,
there's a whole segment of the UU that have pagan inclinations
Which
the UU has no issue with because they are UU...
So
after getting stuffed we went out to the fire that was going all
evening and had a little opening ceremony.
Went
back in and decorated a couple logs with boughs and sage and hemp
twine and tags labelled with all our crap from 2016...
Then
we went back out, burned them.
Had
a couple rounds of toasts and good wishes and inspirational thoughts
with a couple bottles of high proof alcohol - "drink, dribble,
or spit on the fire...your choice"
Had
some good fireballs...hehe
Then
we finished the ceremonial bit to end it and people went in to keep
socializing for who knows how long - but we went home.
[8:54
AM] Mr. Brown:
My
friends have a Yule party
I
never seem to make it though
Oh,
and Mr. Silver I found out somebody my wife works with lives near you
is from England.
She
calls her lovey at work
[8:56
AM] Mr. Silver:
I'll
make her mushy peas if she'll show me how to make proper chips.
[8:56
AM] Mr. Brown:
LOL
When
my sister in law's sister comes from Scotland, we always have to tell
her people call them fries here
[8:58
AM] Mr. Silver:
Chips
aren't fries though
The
recipe I've tried is from the same source as the peas – they're
like steak fry wedges, oiled and baked.
I
just can't tell at all if I'm getting them right.
(dead
of night, I knock on the door of the guy who liked the mushy peas)
"Hi.
Could you try these chips please?"
"Hrmmm?
Its...2am."
"I
couldn't sleep til I knew."
[9:13
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
have to set the gifts out on Saturday night all by myself
[9:14
AM] Mr. Silver:
(Santa,
singing)
"Mr.
Brown...with your jaundice so yellow...”
“Won't
you take my place, my fine fellow?"
[9:15
AM] Mr. Brown:
I'm
just hoping Brown Jr. does not have a bad dream and come out while
I'm putting them under the tree, 'cause then I will have to think
fast on a comeback
"Uh,
Santa was in a hurry and threw them at me and said 'here you do it'."
[9:22
AM] Mr. Silver:
"And
he got all pissed off when I asked him not to leave all these bags
around, Junior, and said 'Ho Ho! OK big shot! You think YOU
can do it better? Here's the sack! Figure it out! Ho ho
ho!'. And he LEFT! So I've been trying to get this right for like
an hour, Junior...an HOUR. Could you help me out? Never sass Santa,
kid."
[2:11
PM] Mr. Brown:
Mr.
Silver, what do they call the black suit aliens in Doctor Who?
I
forget
Ah,
The Silence
[2:15
PM] Mr. Silver:
The
fact that you wrote "I forget" is absolutely hilarious.
[2:15
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes
going on how they work
LOL
Shit. Unrelated, I've got a pen mark on my arm. I must have seen something.
[12:34
PM] Mr. Blue:
That
Karen Gillan is soooOOOoooOOOooo good lookin'
She
was definitely the highlight of GotG... her character was badass.
Nebula
She
reminded me of the lady cenobite, with a little Borg queen mixed in.
[12:40
PM] Mr. Silver:
Yes,
Gillan is marvelous.
Thing
that comes to my mind usually second about her behind 'yum!' is how
amusing it was listening to her talk in a heavy Scottish accent
online.
[12:53
PM] Mr. Blue:
She’s
from Inverness
Nice
town
That's
where we got our flat tire fixed... they said it'd take 24 hours to
get the tire in but when we gave them our sob story the mechanic
found a replacement in an hour
Otherwise
we'd have had to scratch Wales & Stonehenge off the list
[12:56
PM] Mr. Silver:
The
prospect of two Americans hanging around for a full day lit a fire
under him, eh?
[12:56
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
That
was the guy that was like "Ahh what state ye from?"
"Pennsylvania."
"Ahh!
Deel Unter."
"What?"
"Deel
Unter. Robert Deniro."
"Oh!
Yeah."
(Filmed
in the Mon Valley)
[12:47
PM] Mr. Brown:
i
dobn't know exactly how to discribe the voice of this last client
but
sounded like the very backwoods african american old man sittin no a
pourch talking gipperish
[12:51
PM] Mr. Silver:
...
sittin ... no a pow-rch ... talking jipper-ish ... ?
[12:52
PM] Mr. Brown:
I
had lots of touble figuring out what they needed
[12:52
PM] Mr. Silver:
Me
too
;)
[3:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
We're
doing our Thanksgiving thing - spicey sausage pasta whatever
[3:24
PM] Mr. Silver:
The
longstanding traditional Blue Family meal that Mr. Blue doesn't know
how to make or what all is in it.
[3:24
PM] Mr. Blue:
We've
been makin' it for nigh on 8 years - I actually think it's from
Martha Stewart
[3:25
PM] Ms. Rose:
Her
1980's Thanksgiving show? If so, I think I may have had it.
[3:26
PM] Mr. Blue:
[3:27
PM] Ms. Rose:
Oh,
sorry. My brain substituted "pasta" for "stuffing."
I was thinking of Martha Stewart's turkey stuffing with sausage and
apples and some kind of mushroom.
[3:27
PM] Mr. Silver:
The
Silver household had a traditional Easter breakfast when I was a kid.
Had
it every year...
Until
I successfully pointed out that it was disgusting and didn't taste
good.
[3:28
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
We
had one of those inedibles like that every Christmas but it was fruit
bread
"Mom,
I can't choke this down any more"
"Yeah.
Okay."
[3:29
PM] Mr. Silver:
I
wonder how many generations of Silvers had been just sucking it up
without saying anything
[3:37
PM] Mr. Blue:
"make
use of leftover hardboiled eggs"
Finally!
Got so many sittin' around
[3:38
PM] Ms. Rose:
This
says it all: Pour creamed eggs over buttered toast pieces; sprinkle
with yolks.
[3:38
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
like eggs but they should only be one consistency, and never "creamy"
[3:39
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Like
dippy egg yolks?”
“SURE!”
“Well
try dippy egg WHITES...with dried out yolk on it!"
[3:39
PM] Mr. Blue:
Reverse-sunny-side
up
[3:40
PM] Ms. Rose:
I
bet it was great at Easter, too, since the colored egg dye sometimes
seeps into the hardboiled whites. Like a barfy rainbow!
[3:40
PM] Mr. Silver:
I
dubbed them "Golden Rotten Eggs" for the psychological
suggestion part of my anti-tradition campaign. I won in a couple
years.
