[9:09 AM] Ms. Rose:
Guess how much sleep I got last night?
[9:11 AM] Mr. Brown:
As much as me
lol
[9:13 AM] Ms. Rose:
That would be scientifically unpossible unless we were sleeping together.
[9:13 AM] Mr. Brown:
LOL
When did you go to sleep
[9:14 AM] Ms. Rose:
Ah HA! I did NOT go to sleep. At all.
[10:05 AM] Mr. Silver:
So what was up with the insomnia, Ms. Rose?
[10:07 AM] Ms. Rose:
Me. I was up. All night. With the insomnia.
[10:08 AM] Ms. Rose:
Was that a pun?
[10:08 AM] Mr. Silver:
;)
[10:13 AM] Ms. Rose:

Ok, so I need a new PCP in (town). Any suggestions? Mine is being a di**
Big Berg:
I like mine
Young McDonald:
Who is it?
Big Berg
I'm Googling it, but can't figure out how to spell it.

MAN CHUCKS
[10:16 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes!
[10:16 AM] Mr. Brown:
Next step up from gopher chucks
[10:17 AM] Mr. Silver:
(Old nun whipping chucks around like Bruce Lee.)
(MMA fighter points at the chucks with disgust)
"Still fighting with THESE?"
(pushes her off the screen)
"You're a MAN! You need MAN CHUCKS!"
(pulls out pair of muscular stainless steel arms attached with a barbed wire chain)
"MAN CHUCKS! Model TWO!" (throws out two fingers)
(corner picture of Man Chucks Original...fuzzed out because the original components were steel...um...you know...)

[11:00 AM] Mr. Blue:
[11:04 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Is today called one of the Three Treasures of the National Palace Museum for the Easily Impressed"
"It has also been chosen by the public as the most important item in the museum's entire collection, easily surpassing 'The Colored Rock" and "The Jar of White Driveway Gravel" in popularity.
Oddly enough, according to its Wiki article, the
is ALSO the most famous masterpiece, as well as ALSO the most important item in the museum.
(tour guide) "As we enter the next hall, please note that this door is also the most famous masterpiece in the building. As is this tag under this vase...which is the most famous masterpiece in the building."
The “Mao Gong Ding” is such a renowned masterpiece – certainly the most important of 'The Three Treasures' in the museum – that it didn't get a Wiki article!
However, it is a beauty -
[11:22 AM] Mr. Blue:
Looks like a dang chamber pot
[11:22 AM] Mr. Silver:
All inscribed and everything
[11:23 AM] Mr. Blue:
I thought you made up the cabbage thing
The heck is wrong with these people?
[11:24 AM] Mr. Brown:
I figured if there was rock meat there would be rock cabbage too
They probably have some rock potatoes also
[11:25 AM] Mr. Blue:
"And here we have the National Collection of Pebbles that Kinda Look Like Beans"
[11:25 AM] Mr. Silver:
(Excited British translator) "I HAVE it Cholmondeley! Inscription 17 on the Mao Gong Ding!"
"What does it say, Fontleroy?"
"Here I sit, broken hearted, had to...still not sure on this word...but only farted."
“Brilliant! If only we knew the missing word, we could publish!”
Look! More Chinese masterpieces! Raw jasper! Fresh quarried to look like meat!
Based on that search, I'm pretty sure someone just found “The Meat-Shaped Stone”, smoothed it a bit, covered it with varnish and convinced someone in a palace that he'd made it.
[2:57 PM] Mr. Blue:
The average male height in Indonesia is 5'2" ????
I'm gonna go there and become king within a week
"In the land of the midgets, the slightly-below-average sized guy is king"
[3:00 PM] Mr. Silver:
Mrs. Silver would be normal height there, huh?
[3:00 PM] Mr. Blue:
Female height is 4'10"
[3:00 PM] Mr. Silver:
Bingo
[3:02 PM] Mr. Blue:
The Netherlands height thing is noticeable
It's not like they're ALL tall...most are average
Then you'd see like.. a couple... very pale with washed-out blonde hair... built like mannequins... guy would be like 6'5" and woman would be like 5'11"
I think there's aliens mixed into the Dutch population that skews the averages
[3:03 PM] Ms. Rose:
How tall is everyone here?
REAL height.(We exchange numbers a lot...it's boring – Mr. Silver)
[3:05 PM] Mr. Brown:
I'm 5'11"
[3:06 PM] Mr. Silver:
You're, like, 4'2", 4'2.5"...before putting on the stacks, I mean.
[3:06 PM] Mr. Brown:
Doctors tried to say when I was one that I would be 6'2"
[3:07 PM] Mr. Blue:
Never give up hope
[3:07 PM] Mr. Silver:
[3:08 PM] Ms. Rose:
Some of you need to stop and/or start slouching. Or maybe I just need new glasses.
My dad is 5'9". I am "very tall" considering my genetics.
[3:14 PM] Mr. Blue:
6'0" would be a cool height to be
I definitely wouldn't want to be tall.. because I think that's weird and not advantageous.
Like really tall... I think that'd just do a number on your joints after a while.
[3:22 PM] Mr. Silver:
Meanwhile studies show tall people end up more successful...and if they are good looking too? Well...we hate them.
[3:26 PM] Mr. Blue:
There's a lot of sports where it's beneficial to be taller. I think that leads to confidence and probably other advantages
In fact, I can't think of any sport where it's better to be short than tall, all other things being equal
[3:26 PM] Mr. Silver:
Mayan basketball
(victors) "HA! Litlscoatl's team lost again! We're off to get sacrificed to the gods! LOOOO-zeeeeeerssss!"
(losing team) "Man...we lost again. Our team sucks, Litlscoatl! We need some bigger dudes! We're good but they run all over us."
(Litlscoatl!) "Oh...we're not "losing"..."
[11:06 AM] Mr. Silver:
So..."Rinse your can"
Besides being endlessly amusing to me because I can't see it as anything now but an American or Australian tagline for a bidet commercial...
I finally...can in hand...noticed something.
We have a recycling can and that sign by the back door.
There is no actual way to do as asked unless you bring your own water.
All other locations requesting people “Rinse your can” have sinks.
So...take the sign down...they can't be rinsed anyway.
[11:19 AM] Mr. Blue:
Why would the can need rinsed out?
[11:20 AM] Mr. Silver:
Bugs, I assume
Or stink
[11:23 AM] Ms. Rose:
I skimmed.
Something about Australia and a can. I can only assume you're referring to "Fosters...Australian for beer."
Fawhstahs. Aoustraleen foh beeah.
[11:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
Last I paid attention to Fosters, it was Australians complaining about being associated with it since it's not a popular beer in Australia.
One of those "Things that will surprise you about X" type videos
Before that, the last I paid attention to Fosters was in college when we enjoyed getting them in the big "oil cans"
25 ounces of foamy amber
Big enough a can that it frees up your second beer can hand for snacks!
[11:28 AM] Mr. Blue:
I'm not a beer fan, but something about beer brewed in warm climates sounds weird to me
Like Red Stripe or Fosters
Corona
[11:28 AM] Mr. Silver
(Mr. Silver understands the POV and again doubts Mr. Blue's German heritage)
[11:29 AM] Ms. Rose:
Only with a lime.
[11:30 AM] Mr. Silver:
Just a note here...beer was invented in warm climates
[11:36 AM] Mr. Brown:
Fosters is not bad
But its also not Australian
Maybe in recipe it is.
Its brewed in Manchester
[11:37 AM] Mr. Silver:
Outback Steakhouse was never Australian either
[11:37 AM] Mr. Blue:
I always wondered how Australians feel about the stereotypical Australian voice-over
It's to me like someone doing a Chinese accent like "Yoo want-ee fly lice?"
"Croikeey! Caahm to thee eewtbayk. New rools, juss royytt!"
[11:40 AM] Mr. Silver:
If an Australian beer commercial came on and I could barely pick out a word or two and wasn't completely sure what it meant...I'd buy that brand.
[11:40 AM] Mr. Brown:
I like Fosters
[11:47 AM] Mr. Silver:
(Aussie accent) "American beer is like 'avin' sex in a canoe!"
(heard this one told several times in old sources...I assume you know the punchline, so...)
On to Brit-accented pronunciation.
On CNN I heard an Brit-accent-equipped reporter in Turking describing the terror attack of the story as "heinous"... Pronounced it "HE-noos"*
...Turking...
King of Turks...or turkeys...or turtles...
[11:59 AM] Mr. Blue:
"Quit turking around!"
Kinda ironic that a homophobic country like Turkey has a national past time that is pretty gay
[12:03 PM] Mr. Silver:
They had (have?) a male rape macho-dominance thing in their culture that isn't gay "isn't gay" [isn't gay?] either.
[12:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
I only know of it through the jokes
"Timmy? You ever been to a... Turkish prison?"
(* It's not one of these. Mr. Silver
