Mr. Silver 3:24 PM
Inflection story!
Back when we watched MST3K all the time, "Oh bite me, it's fun" was often said
Thing is...
They always said it...and therefore we always said it...because of tone and inflection...so that it sounded like:
"Oh bite me, biting me is fun"
Mr. Blue 3:24 PM
Heh
Mr. Silver 3:24 PM
Eventually it clicked
OOOOOhhhhhhhh
"Bite me...what I suggested is something that is fun!"
Didn't make it any better as a slam, mind you, but it didn't sound as weird
Mr. Silver
So the other day at physical therapy for Mrs Silver's leg, Silver Jr. and I are sitting, reading and waiting, and one of the staff comes up and says "Your mom said you like hot stuff."
"Yeah."
"I have a piece of ghost pepper cheese left. I don't think it's that hot but some do. Wanna try it?"
(me) "Go for it. You're always asking about Ghosts and Carolina Reapers and stuff. Try it out."
"Ok. Yeah, I'll try some."
"Here you go."
So he nibbled a little
"Meh...no biggie."
(me) " A mouse eats more than that. Eat it if you're going to."
(Chomps it and chews...starts going red)
"Waugh! (gets up and starts walking) "
Mr. Brown11:51 AM
Ghost peppers sneak up on you, then continue to burn for awhile
Mr. Silver11:52 AM
"Wait! What are you doing?"
"WATER!"
"NOOO!!! It'll make it worse! You have to let it calm down first. Water will spread it everywhere!"
Mr. Brown 11:53 AM
I love it when people drink water
then start yelling more
Mr. Silver 11:53 AM
"But!"
"Sit...5 minutes at least til it soaks in."
(wincing and puffing)
"Close your mouth...breath through your nose. You don't want air on it either."
(wincing and nose breathing.)
(several minutes later and obviously calming) "Ok, NOW you can go."
(runs)
Mr. Brown 11:56 AM
Gotta let the nerves get back to normal
Mr. Silver 11:56 AM
(He walks back) "I'm probably gonna pay for that later in the BR, aren't I?"
"Maybe. It wasn't very much but it's strong."
Mr. Brown 11:57 AM
Oh, it hurts later for sure
Ghost pepper jerky
Tiny piece
I know
Mr. Silver 11:58 AM
Was just little specks...said it was OK afterwards. :D
Which brings us to last night...
I got a big bulb of garlic to put some cloves in yesterday's broth fondue.
After we ate, Silver Jr. plucked one off.
"Bet I can eat this whole thing."
"Go for it!"
"(peels) Ok...here we go."
"Yup"
(chew chew ch-) "AUGH!!!"
"...Funny thing about garlic..."
"AUGH!!!"
Mr. Brown12:13 PM
It burns completely differently
LOL
Mr. Silver12:14 PM
"...If you have big pieces it's kind of sweet..."
"AUGH!!!"
"...but little ones...or crushed up like chewing, for instance..."
"AUGH!!!"
"...WELL! It gets pretty hot, you see. That's why Garlic Chicken at the Chinese place is marked spicy..."
"AUGH!!!"
Mr. Brown12:18 PM
Have him eat an onion next.
Mr. Silver12:19 PM
"...Thing is it doesn't work like a hot pepper, so you don't get much advantage with pepper experience..."
"AUGH!!!"
"...Ginger is like that too. People think it's sweet, but really..."
"AUGH!!!"
Mr. Brown12:20 PM
Or horse radish!
Mr. Silver12:24 PM
"We have some ginger in the fridge...wanna chomp on some ginger?"
"No!"
[9:11 AM] Mr. Blue:
When the Imperial and Danish armies clashed in Saxony and Thuringia during 1625 and 1626, disease and infection in local communities increased. Local chronicles repeatedly referred to "head disease", "Hungarian disease", and a "spotted" disease [9:11 AM] Mr. Brown:
Bio warfare[9:20 AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe head disease is a sinus infection like you get Mr. Brown[9:24 AM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah LOL [9:27 AM] Mr. Silver:
"You're the greatest doctor of the age. Please, what IS this malady?"
(rubs chin) "Head Disease."
[9:28 AM] Mr. Blue:
I don't know any Hungarian stereotypes to make fun of "Hungarian disease"[9:30 AM] Mr. Brown:
They was really hungery [9:32 AM] Mr. Silver:
And agrarian
Hungry agrarians
[9:33 AM] Mr. Brown:
SHEEP SHEEP SHEEP[9:33 AM] Mr. Silver:
"The land of starving farmers"
[9:40 AM] Mr. Blue:
In Hungary they call themselves Magyars
But they feel like they have some sort of connection to the Huns.. and I think modern day Hungary is roughly where the Hunnish capital was, but I don't think there's any evidence that they actually descend from the Huns
Maybe they do... they speak an uralic language and the Romans said the Huns spoke some kind of unintelligible gibberish that sounded like they were making it up as they go
[9:42 AM] Mr. Brown:
New tonight on E! “Keeping up with the Huns”
[10:27 AM] Mr. Silver:
Reminds me of a comic bit. "I can't imagine Canada declaring war on any place. Maybe someday they'll go after Turkey - 'That's it! We're takin' it! Gonna call it Chicken.'"
[10:28 AM] Mr. Blue:
Heh[10:32 AM] Mr. Brown:
Better yet just call it Bacon [10:56 AM] Mr. Blue:
Rename Istanbul “Poutinetinople”[10:57 AM] Mr. Silver:
I like it
[10:57 AM] Mr. Blue:
Replace mosques with ice rinks[10:58 AM] Mr. Silver:
I can't hear "poutine" without thinking of "My Drunk Kitchen"
Which was at it's funniest early on before the hostess got too tolerant of alcohol
[10:58 AM] Ms. Rose:
Poutinetinople is pretty hilarious.[10:58 AM] Mr. Blue:
Funny plot idea. What if Canada, one of the most passive and friendly countries, suddenly got ambitions of building an empire[11:05 AM] Mr. Brown:
“Maple Dawn”[11:05 AM] Mr. Silver:
Heh
[11:06 AM] Mr. Brown:
"The kindest take over ever."[11:07 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Sorry we conquered you."
[11:09 AM] Ms. Rose:
Hahaha[11:10 AM] Mr. Brown:
"If you'll just surrender and get in this truck here, eh "
"Oh God! They sent the Mounties"
[11:12 AM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
"O-kay. We need tuh Canadify ya okey? So yer name was Bachtan before? It's gonna be Doug now. Here's yer pair of skates & stick, and a case of Molson."[11:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
(looking around arid scrubland) "Skates?"
[11:15 AM] Mr. Blue:
Moves the capital of Turkey to halfway up Mt. Ararat to mimic the conditions they're most familiar with
[11:16 AM] Mr. Silver:
Import moose and maple trees
“Eh! If you aren't gonna wear a touque you'll need more flannel on them tesetturs, ladies!"
[11:43 AM] Mr. Blue:
Would anyone even try to intervene if Canada invaded Turkey?
"Mr. President, Canada just invaded Turkey! They're marching into Ankara!"
"Well... I'm sure they must have their reasons."
[11:48 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Such polite people too. I'm sure it's not going to be much of an incident."
Executions of rebellious Turks consist of a team of goons checking them into the boards from behind until they expire.
Or...more fun... The condemned has to go out on the ice with said goons and has a stick with the puck permanently affixed and the stick glued to their hands.
Make it a show
[12:15 PM] Mr. Blue:
Instead of the shutzstaffel it'll be the shootsstaffel
[12:16 PM] Mr. Silver:
"So all you have to do, right, is make it 3 periods of 20 minutes and you're free, kay?"
[12:16 PM] Mr. Blue:
Firing squads of hockey pucks
[12:16 PM] Mr. Silver:
Also a winner!
[12:16 PM] Mr. Blue:
There's some funny parts in “Canadian Bacon”
They steal a truck and spraypaint "Canada Sucks" and other epithets on the side of it.. They get pulled over by a cop (Dan Akroyd) who only forces them to spraypaint all the epithets in French too.
[12:19 PM] Mr. Silver:
LOL
I've never seen the whole movie.
They showed it a million times on Comedy Central but I've only seen parts.
[12:20 PM] Mr. Brown:
“Please - Consider our French-speaking population.”

There's a house near me where one of the previous owners planted tamarack as a border between it and the house next to it...always bugged me.
Why plant a conifer that loses its needles? Like a few out of hundreds that do so. The border is only there 6 months out of the year

There is a set of popular starting entry points.

I think the anchorman line was Mr. Blue's and went
something like:
"So where do you live?"
"You know Peter the Great's Summer Palace?"
"Yes! There?"
"In a 1 room concrete slab across the street."

Ok, story.

When
I was in high school my little sister was gifted with a bottle of
vodka by a suitor when the parents were away for the weekend and she,
a friend of hers, and I had a few (several) shots...
And
I had a LOT of Doritos
And more vodka
And the end result was a lurching stomach and a unstable run to the bathroom.

Looks like "osti" here is basically an audible comma
