[12:58
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Can
you tell me if we can set up at the address I'm moving to?"
"Sure,
what's the address?"
"I
don't know."
[12:58
PM] Ms. Rose:
LOL
[12:58
PM] Mr. Blue:
wtffff
[1:01
PM] Mr. Silver:
"Considering
the habitable areas of the earth vs Katzenjammer's industry
penetration, the odds are...no."
[1:04
PM] Mr. Brown:
Well
sir, with no address I would say we don't service it.
(This
is the bizarre point where Katzanjammer decided it wasn't necessary
to tag the IMs of the recording participant(?)...for some unfathomable
reason(?). Anyway...”Silver” being me, any one who has spent time
reading this won't have trouble telling who the “anonymous”
comments are coming from. As of this point I was very happy I
adopted the color scheme all those years ago. - Mr. Silver)
[11:23
AM] Mr. Brown:
Did
we ever talk about the Loltun Cave hermit before?
[11:25
AM]
Don't
recall that.
[11:28
AM] Mr. Brown:
Supposed
to be some blind hermit that somebody ran into in a cave that claimed
to be 1000 years old
[11:31
AM] Ms. Rose:
Loltun
= LOL a Ton
[12:31
PM] Mr. Brown:
Extremely
skewed perception of time, alone, and blind?
[12:35
PM] Mr. Blue:
1000 Biblical years
[12:40
PM]
The
hermit thing was interesting
(translator)
"How long have you been down here?"
(hermit)
"Feels like a thousand years."
(translator
doesn't know the words for 'feels like'. Everyone is waiting)
"1000 years."
(Stacy-Judd)
"By Jove! Exactly 1000 years?"
(translator turns to hermit)
"Exactly 1000 years?"
(laughs)
"Yeah...sure...to the day."
"He
says exactly to the day"
(Stacy-Judd)
"I say! Extraordinary! What are the odds of that?"
[12:45
PM] Mr. Brown:
Blind
man taking you through a dark cave would work though, if he has been
there awhile.
[12:46
PM]
(native
adopts a strange accent and tone) "The first hundred years
were the worst. And the second hundred years, they were the
worst too. The third hundred years I didn't enjoy at all.
After that I went into a bit of a decline."
(translator
who has never read “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”)
"Uhhhhh...he didn't enjoy it."
[12:47
PM] Mr. Brown:
He
forgot his towel
[12:47
PM] Ms. Rose:
(y)
[12:48
PM]
Hehe
[12:50
PM] Mr. Brown:
Translator
"He keeps saying 42 "
[12:56
PM]
:)
[1:00
PM] Mr. Brown:
(Suddenly
the hermit begins dancing around the cave singing a song) Translator
"It sounds, well, like he is singing that every sperm is
sacred."
[1:00
PM]
(Stacy-Judd)
"Must be a religious thingy. He must be a shaman."
[10:39
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
ordered a safety razor. Haven't gotten it yet
I
dont' really care about saving money on disposables, I just think
it's neat
And
I don't have a thick beard so I don't need a disposable with 15
blades in 1.
Did
you ever see the Mad TV skit about the "Mach 15" razor?
The first few blades cut the hair to the skin and by blade 10 or 12
you were past the epidermis.
[10:44
AM]
There
was an old old SNL one that made fun of the introduction of double
blade razors by goofing on a triple bladed one.
Now
we have triple bladed ones.
I'm
guessing we're never having a 15 bladed one :D
[10:45
AM] Ms. Rose:
Shaving
your face must be really weird.
I
hope I never grow a beard.
[10:46
AM] Mr. Blue:
It
is weird
I'm
not sure why we don't all just let it grow at least for as long as we
let our hair grow.
We
don't cut our hair every day.
[10:47
AM] Ms. Rose:
Yet,
it would probably feel weird for you dudes to shave your legs and
pits, but I'm totally okay with that.
[10:47
AM] Mr. Blue:
That's
weird too cuz if anyone should be shaving their whole bodies, it's
us.
Obviously
somewhere along the line men wanted to try and look younger.
[10:47
AM] Ms. Rose:
And
women wanted to look "not European."
[10:47
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
don't really have an issue with armpit hair on a woman
[10:47
AM] Ms. Rose:
I
cannot even explain all the leg hair I saw at the all-girls college.
[10:47
AM] Mr. Blue:
Legs
should be smooth though
It's
like leaving mud on a nice car - do what you want, it's your legs -
but I would shave it
[10:50
AM] Ms. Rose:
I
like to use a brand new razor, shave my legs, stop the bleeding, then
go into bed and throw the sheet over my legs. It's pretty magical.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
think there's places where body hair on a woman is sought after.
I
remember reading that Miss Universe had to tell Sri Lanka to stop
sending orangutan-looking women to the pageants.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
have a safety razor
Pulls
a little
[10:52
AM] Ms. Rose:
I
have very thin and unhealthy head hair. But my eyebrows grow like
weeds. It's totally not fair. But, after 25+ years of shaving my
legs, I can go a month without shaving now.
[10:53
AM] Mr. Blue:
My
hair gets thicker every year
[10:54
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
started getting hair on my shoulders
[10:55
AM] Ms. Rose:
Wonder
what makes people more/less hairy than others. Mr. Oleo is a damned
werewolf.
[10:55
AM] Mr. Blue:
Just
genetics... Probably dependent a lot on how long our ancestors spent
in colder climates, although there's some hairy ass folks in desert
climates too
[10:57
AM]
“You're
the gorilla my dreams.”
[10:57
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
was not hairy, now I'm getting more hair. Yet it left my head
[10:57
AM]
As
far as Europe, people who had means could be shaved and people who
worked all day couldn't. It was one of the cosmetic elements
separating the classes.
Status
symbol
[10:58
AM] Mr. Blue:
I'm
guessing some hairy dude started ruling a group of people, had a
large collection of concubines and had lots of hairy kids. They all
grew up and became powerful themselves, and everyone else tried to
emulate them.
[10:58
AM]
I'm
pretty positive samurai head shaving was because it was considered
macho to have male pattern baldness...even though they didn't know
they were getting it from mom.
[10:59
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
was gonna mention that
It
probably started with the ruling class too. Everyone wanted to
emulate the higher ups. Or the higher ups brainwashed everyone into
thinking their defect was actually a positive thing.
[11:04
AM] Ms. Rose:
I
read a book a long time ago. It was non-fiction. Some theory about
how we evolved from the sea, and grew hair on our heads (to protect
from the sun) and hair under our arms because it's not exposed to
light...or some junk. It made sense at the time. Probably another
college required-reading.
[11:05]
"Vidal Sassoon's: Mermaid Hair Hooey"
[11:08
AM] Mr. Brown:
Hair
is thermal
Along
with other reasons for it being there
[11:10
AM]
Yup
[11:10
AM] Ms. Rose:
(says
the bald guy)
[11:10
AM]
He's
an alien...leave it
[11:10
AM] Ms. Rose:
Test
tube baby/alien.
[11:10
AM] Mr. Blue:
At
this point we look the way we look for decoration I think.
We've
been able to cover our heads with hats and bodies with clothes for
too long for any of this to be functional
[11:11
AM]
Vestigial
hair
[11:11
AM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
[11:11
AM]
It
still has functions, cosmetic appeal being a big one
[11:12
AM] Mr. Blue:
That's
what I mean. It's just a decoration.
It
doesn't help us in the wild
[11:13
AM]
Gotta
be honest, with my crappy long vision, if I have no glasses on I can
usually ID a woman I know or have noticed before at a quarter mile
based on her hair.
[11:13
AM] Ms. Rose:
A
quarter mile?
[11:13
AM]
Yup
Hunter
stuff, probably
[11:13
AM] Ms. Rose:
Now
who's the alien.
[11:14
AM]
Closer
is better, but I've done it
[11:15
AM] Ms. Rose:
Does
that work with changes in "natural" blondes, like me? (I am
a natural Clairol Nice 'n Easy #98 Ultra Light Blonde...naturally.)
:P
[11:17
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
would think armpit hair is still there to carry scent
And there is
hair in places you move to keep from rubbing and chafing.
[11:17 AM]
Agreed on that last one.
[11:17
AM] Ms. Rose:
Ewwww!
[11:17
AM]
The
hair ID thing works as long as it's not changed
There's
also a motion factor and blurry shape factor, though.
More
cues the better
[11:18
AM] Ms. Rose:
I've
dyed for so long that I can tell the tiny shade differences in
"blonde." Sometimes more yellow, sometimes more brassy,
sometimes clear like fishing line.
[11:19
AM]
I
was walking home for lunch this very week.
4 brunettes, about same
height, pair on each side of X St two blocks away, and I'd lost my
glasses.
I
knew who the two were on the right
I
couldn't ID the two on the left.
When
we closed the distance and I got close enough for a clearer view, I was
right about the two I knew and the other two were women I'd never
seen before.
[11:20
AM] Mr. Brown:
Well
your brain fills in for what you can't figure out
[11:20
AM]
Nod
[11:20
AM] Ms. Rose:
I
think you're stoned. I never see people walking down X, let alone 4
similar brunettes at the same time. Weirdo! :P
[11:21
AM]
Hehe
How
do you think the story was memorable enough to tell?
[9:46
AM] Ms. Rose:
And
meanwhile, over on Team Gremblance:
https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/02/16/2311240/mcdonalds-hires-project-ara-design-team-to-reinvent-the-drinking-straw
[10:22

"The
original title of the project - 'The Double Sucky Sucky' was changed
after parents were allowed into test trails with their kids."
[10:23
AM] Ms. Rose:
(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)
