439 - I Sense You'll Be Changing The Project Name Again, Mr. Blue Is Going HAM, The Fight To End Droid Discrimination Goes On, You Probably Haven't Heard Of Thumbas Yet, and Check The Baby's Label Before Washing

[2:02 PM] Mr. Brown:
[2:12 PM] Mr. Silver:
"They killed the funding again."
"I predicted that."
"Shut up.  We need another new name."
"Uh...Moon Pancakes?"
"Awesome!  Get me a DOD funding form."
[2:14 PM] Mr. Blue:
lol
[2:16 PM] Mr. Silver:
"In 1995, the CIA reviewed the project, decided a 65% rate was worth more than 15 guys in a shed, declassified every failed experiment and moved everything to a secret facility on a black budget."
(Information verified by remote viewer Lt. Henry Anderson)
[2:19 PM] Mr. Brown:
I'm pretty sure I have remote viewed before, but not on purpose
[2:21 PM] Mr. Silver:
I had a few successful remote view results in 7th grade
Unfortunately, since the experiments were done at the Catholic school, the backlash wasn't exactly a good thing.
[2:22 PM] Mr. Brown:
God has shown me a vision - You were in the bathroom today
[2:23 PM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe
The one I recall for sure was - each of us with a wrist watch - "Ok, at precisely X o'clock, write down what I'm looking at."
Answered "a book with pictures of old warplanes in it"
Which earned me a pop-eyed spooked expression since it was correct and he had it with him in his backpack to show me.
Being a non-Catholic in Catholic school has its drawbacks.
Being a non-Catholic in Catholic school with 'devil powers' lost me a couple buddies.
[2:41 PM] Mr. Brown:
LOL
Because logically only the Devil could give you remote viewing abilities. lol
[3:25 PM] Mr. Silver:
Right
I made a rotten deal, apparently, because it doesn't work for crap.



[2:24 PM] Mr. Blue:
They're going HAM with the VTO lately
[2:26 PM] Ms. Rose:
HAM?
[2:27 PM] Mr. Blue:
I dunno what it means
[2:28 PM] Ms. Rose:
You're such a gangster, Mr. Blue. :)
[2:30 PM] Mr. Blue:
Chuuuch



(On the Social Status of Star Wars droids – Mr. Yellow has been playing the Star Wars Saga roleplaying game, and some of his team have been crazy insubordinate recently. - Mr. Silver)
[3:04 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Not sure that would help with Ezra. I was shouting for him to move and he kept waiting for the droid. This was during Evac. I felt as the CO I could not get on that ship til all my people were aboard. Including Jim that Forest had to carry back there
[3:04 PM] Mr. Silver:
Name the droid "Tools" 
Hehe
[3:04 PM] Mr. Yellow:
He had a name - Scout
[3:05 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Will you die for the sake of Tools?  We can get more Tools."
[3:05 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Yes. I was not going to let the droid get destroyed because he had all the intel we came to get
[3:06 PM] Mr. Silver:
I mean name it “Tools” as a scheme to give some player perspective thing.
Most SW universe characters I've seen treat droids as unreliable 3rd class citizens even if they are smarter and more capable than the living. 
[3:06 PM] Mr. Yellow:
But the droid kept on moving. It was not stupid. Ezra was stupid.
[3:06 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yup
[3:06 PM] Mr. Yellow:
My old Jedi preferred them to people
[3:06 PM] Mr. Silver:
Player Characters are like that
[3:07 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Too many people were just stupid. The entire party made fun of me for doing that
[3:07 PM] Mr. Silver:
People who speak Binar...bothered to learn Binar
They're the ones who build relationships with droids
[3:07 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Yep. Like my character
[3:08 PM] Mr. Silver:
Han Solo clearly couldn't speak it
[3:08 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Nope
My new character cannot speak it either, and if the droid was not carrying the vital information I would have been less concerned
[3:09 PM] Mr. Silver:
That, BTW, is one reason Padme giving R2-D2 and official thanks in "court" on her space yacht was a scene that didn't work at all.
[3:10 PM] Mr. Yellow:
?
[3:10 PM] Mr. Silver:
Padme might as well have been giving a medal to a box of Craftsman tools
They don't speak to people...you just tell them what to fix and ignore them.
[3:11 PM] Mr. Yellow:
R2 is the hero of the entire saga
Without him the Empire would have won
[3:11 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yes, R2 is great
But in that scene in Phantom Menace, all he did was go out to fix the ship and he didn't get blown up.
It's the only reason they bought him from the shop and stuck him on her yacht.
He didn’t deserve “our thanks”. Does Queen Amidala give medals to the toaster if it makes a perfect slice?
Hehe
[3:13 PM] Mr. Yellow:
R2D2 is one with the Force and the Force is with him
[3:14 PM] Mr. Silver:
Yes, I agree
Point is, who sees that they can be more?  Some Jedi, and mechanics.
And people that bother to learn to talk to them.
If I have a free language, I always pick Binar
[3:15 PM] Mr. Yellow:
In the book The Force Awakens, C3PO is in many a conundrum and each time he thinks what would R2 do?
and then comes up with the answer of what he needs to do
Could rewrite the “What would Brian Boitano Do?” song for R2D2
[3:18 PM] Mr. Silver:
Hehehe
An example: Bail Organa at the end of Episode 3
"Oh, and take this protocol droid and wipe his memory so none of this gets out."
Why not R2D2?”
Meh...it’s just a rolling toolbox that beeps a lot...who cares? It’s not a security issue.”
And another example
Han: Let him have it. It's not wise to upset a Wookiee.
C-3PO: But sir. Nobody worries about upsetting a droid.
Han: That's cause a droid don't pull people's arms outta of their sockets when they lose.  Wookies are known to do that."
[3:31 PM] Mr. Yellow:
Our old droid R8 almost killed the ewok when the ewok was trying to smear poop on him.
I ended up giving R8 a blaster and a hidden memory core
He is probably some crime lord out there
[3:34 PM] Mr. Silver:
Heh
Oh
The Jedi calling General Grievous a "droid" all the time was a rather belittling insult
Here's another "the majority of SW people do not see droids as people" example
Top Secret Death Star...
In a security station...
Just after capturing a known rogue freighter...
Dead security staff in the room...
The sector security team - who would be familiar with their area and everything in it to the point of boredom - responding to the alert...
Probably aware of unauthorized access to secure info by an unknown droid...
There they find a not-even-close-to-Empire-specs 40-year-old-model beaten and dirty GOLD protocol droid and astromech in a closet. 
The talking one tells them "they went thattaway!" and they believe it.
And then later tells a hopelessly awkward story about a droid getting “overexcited” and needing maintenance.
Still unquestioned, the guard says "Alright" and lets the droids go.
Mind Boggling!!!
(Tech) "This R2 unit of yours seems a little beat up, you want a new one?"
(Luke) "Not on your life.  That little droid and I have been through a lot together."
(Tech) "I was being polite, sir.  I know you like your R@ unit, but I can give you a new state of the art astromech with advanced fighter combat software."
(Luke) "No thanks!"
(Tech) "F-ing nut job...Ok...give the wonder kid his crappy old boltcan."
...but Luke knew...
IMO



[‎8:37 AM] Mr. Silver:
Agent: THOM K HARRIS           
456 HIPPS TER            
Yeah, I started spelling Tom with an H before it became a thing”
[‎8:37 AM] Sarah
HAH
<3
[‎8:38 AM] Mr. Blue:
Pronounced like thumb
[‎9:11 AM] Ms. Rose:
Thom as Thumb is pretty hilarious.
[‎9:12 AM] Mr. Silver:
In an ironic way



[‎9:13 AM] Mr. Brown:
Shaken baby anyone?
[‎9:14 AM] Ms. Rose:
I prefer my babies shaken, not stirred.
[‎9:16 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Inventor of the Baby Washing Machine, the archbishop recommends tumble drying infants on low heat to keep them fluffy."
[‎9:16 AM] Ms. Rose:
(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)
