[8:44 AM] Mr. Silver:
So after the briefest of distraction/inattention I ended up getting this foam thing on my finger ("try not to get it wet") wet.
Clipped off most of it with nail clippers and let it dry...looks like I'll not be springing a leak.
[8:46 AM] Mr. Blue:
How much finger did you lose?
Any nail?
[8:59 AM] Mr. Silver:
Missed the nail entirely
I can't think of a good reference size
Maybe an area the size of the top of the hold button on your desk phone, just closer to round.
[9:01 AM] Mr. Blue:
Ah. Nasty.
[9:02 AM] Mr. Silver:
16th inch deep?
Also I think it's shrinking as it closes up.
[9:20 AM] Mr. Brown:
Morning. How is the missing part of your thumb?
[9:20 AM] Ms. Rose:
I had a dream about your missing thumb piece last night.
[9:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
(me, creeping through the house not turning the lights on, looking for the noise Mrs. Silver heard)
"We meet again..."
"Who's there!?"
"You haven't forgotten me already, have you? Did you really think I wouldn't be back?"
[9:25 AM] Ms. Rose:
(rofl)
“The Telltale Thumb Piece”, starring Mr. Silver.
[9:26 AM] Mr. Silver:
"I have a knife!"
"Hoho! Ah, but you already tried that once. Tell me – 'Father' - do you know what it's like waking up in a bag marked 'Bio Waste - For Incineration'?"
[9:27 AM] Ms. Rose:
OMG! (rofl)
[9:27 AM] Mr. Brown:
I lost part of my thumb once. I cut part of the knuckle off with a meat slicer
[9:27 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yum!
[9:28 AM] Mr. Brown:
New piece grew back
[9:28 AM] Ms. Rose:
Lizard
[9:29 AM] Mr. Brown:
Same thumb I folded a knife on.
Just pushed back into place put a bandaid on it
Grew back in
LOL
[9:30 AM] Mr. Silver:
lol
[9:30 AM] Mr. Brown:
I guess I AM a lizard
[9:30 AM] Mr. Silver:
Before stitches there was "tie it on and hope"
[9:31 AM] Mr. Brown:
My right thumb has been through a few wars
The left always comes out ok
[9:32 AM] Mr. Silver:
The left is the one who is setting up the ambushes
"You're attached! I mean...where were you, man?"
[9:35 AM] Ms. Rose:
Yinz remember that stuff called Gak? It was like Play-Doh for 90's teens. I thought it would be a good idea to cut it with a pair of scissors. It took off the top part of my index finger, but everything healed. And I made a new color of Gak from all the blood.
[9:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
Green and red swirlies! (5 mins later) Green and brown blobbies! (5 mins later) Ick!
[9:46 AM] Ms. Rose:
I believe the Gak in my bloody experience was purple. And then became a deeper purple. So, Deep Purple =/ A Whiter Shade of Pale.
[9:50 AM] Mr. Silver:
I believe you would be the whiter shade of pale from the blood loss
[10:03 AM] Mr. Brown:
Spray the wound with some Windex and put Gak on it . It will be fine
[10:05 AM] Ms. Rose:
Nod
[9:51 AM] Mr. Silver:
How could a fellow pass on an essay premise like this one?
[9:55 AM] Mr. Blue:
“Maybe backward time travel is possible, but only up to the moment that time travel is invented.”
The “Primer” (2004) method
How about we've not met any of them because people keep coming back in time but they end up being in the middle of empty space because everything is constantly moving
[10:09 AM] Mr. Silver:
Well...that depends on the machine and forces involved and theory it's based on.
Like...if the mass of the earth is enough to hold you and the machine on the surface now...does it hold you there while in transit?
(Which would be a potential disaster in itself)
[10:10 AM] Mr. Blue:
Even if it keeps you on earth who is to say you don't come out in history at a point where there's a tree growing where you stand
[10:11 AM] Mr. Silver:
That's the potential disaster.
"I'm going back in TIME!!!” (Hits button. Housefly enters same physical space as machine within first few seconds...Fission detonation destroys local space)
[10:13 AM] Mr. Brown:
In Time Cop, he was in a machine... then out of it... then back in it when he would come back to his time
Almost like he was still in the machine and some copy showed up the past.
So what about virtual reality time travel?
You are not actually moving to that space and time, but peeking into it.
[10:14 AM] Mr. Blue:
The safest place to time travel would be empty outer space if you're going back.
[10:14 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes
[10:14 AM] Mr. Brown:
It's not that empty
LOL
[10:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
Outer space isn't that safe either, really
[10:15 AM] Mr. Blue:
No, but you could build a thing that'd keep you mostly safe
[10:15 AM] Mr. Silver:
Someone finally calculated the effects of a speck of dust hitting a high sub-lightspeed spacecraft recently. It wouldn't be pretty.
The only way to safely do it is to figure out how to remove yourself from...reality. Then pick a good spot to step back in.
Sadly, we aren't really very far along with dimensional travel.
"We believe alternate dimensions exist! And the world might be a sphere!" - Thoth Zozer, 4000 BC
“Other dimensions apparently exist according to the math.” - Dr. Todd Zozer, 2000 AD
[10:23 AM] Mr. Blue:
I think the bending of space is the ticket anyway. Move space..not the ship
Moving really really fast to get to where you need to go seems kinda archaic
It's going to be looked at some day like we look at horses & wagons today
[10:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes...skip the space
[10:23 AM] Mr. Brown:
What was that Christopher Reeve movie where he concentrated hard and traveled in time?
[10:28 AM] Mr. Silver:
"Somewhere in Time". That was an interesting method.
I don't know if it was stolen from the book "Time and Again"...maybe
Both were good. I appreciated it as a concept because it kind of feeds into how I think about the world.
"Time
and Again" and "Somewhere in Time" was more an approach that life and
time is attitude and environment. With enough immersion, you can move
yourself to where it all belongs.
[10:35 AM] Mr. Brown:
What if you cannot travel in time but you can actually travel in dimensions. Like if we really are multiple selves living at different times in all the different dimensions. Could you swap consciousness?
[11:00 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes, that's a way.
[11:31 AM] Mr. Brown:
How about you cannot move yourself to another time but you can travel in your own conscious timeline?
[11:34 AM] Mr. Silver:
Mr. Brown, I have already theorized in here that people already do travel their own time lines and can see nearby versions of themselves.
I pondered the memory storage capacity of the human brain and wondered if what we are actually doing is looking back along our own timeline...and forward.
Its one reason memory gets messy in the past and speculative in the future.
Since I also believe all the other possibilities and other 'yous' are out there at the same time...how often do you "miss" your target a little? Or a lot?
All those studies revealing how flawed peoples' memories are. Are they? Or are the people witnessing variant versions of events?
[11:40 AM] Mr. Brown:
The idea of mentally time traveling like that, you could make different decisions in the past thereby changing things in the present.
[11:41 AM] Mr. Silver:
There are meditative techniques that say you can.
I came up with an unusual method, myself ;)
Well...I theorized one
It was a mess to grasp and I never systematized it.
It basically involves saturating your own past local timelines with:
1. The specific instructions...including a static transmission/reception schedule
2. Repeatedly imprinting something useful for yourself to know "in the future"
3. Concentrating on the “future” imprints as transmitted over the project.
Because of the mental time-travel with near-miss theories, you essentially set up a community of past, present, and future selves seeding the group with things like...oh...lottery numbers, to be cliché. The more selves saturate the knowledge base, the more likely you'll start passing accurate "hits".
[2:10 PM] Mr. Silver:
Stuff I'd "find" with a time travel system -
They recently found and dug up that Nazi Gold Train
Wait
Sorry
They recently dug a big hole
Hehe... The Lufthansa Heist
As recreated in Goodfellas and still an open case
"For as long as I could, do, and will remember, I always wanted to be, am, was a Timefella."
"Then there was Jimmy Two Times. He was given the nickname because he jumped out of sync and was there two times." (two copies of Jimmy, one slightly behind the other in time) "I'm gonna go get the papers -get the papers."
So Timefellas makes the whole segment with Hill talking a blue streak on drugs much funnier
[3:11 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[1:45 PM] Mr. Brown:
Looks like Russia is going to the moon
[1:46 PM] Mr. Blue:
Someone tell Russia that the moon is already ours
It’s the 51st state
[1:47 PM] Mr. Brown:
They are planning it by 2030
And they want to leave people there
[1:47 PM] Mr. Silver:
(NASA) "Once you manage to land there, you, the Nazis, and we will talk it over."
New Russian gulag, eh?
(looking at plans) "I see the passenger seating for the payload, but I don't see any details for the landing method or the moonbase materials."
"What landing? What base?"
"You're just going to crash it?"
"Da."
"Well what are the cameras and the life support systems for?"
"We're filming “entertainment” for the next “crew” that is sentenced to go."

[7:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
Rant!
But not anything work related
Silver Jr. playing with a pottery wheel. Mrs. Silver doing a computer thing.
"Wow! I can watch whatever I want on the TV!"
Find something on HBO Go.
Can't play it because the stupid service has forgotten for a 3rd time that I activated it...and Mrs. Silver is on the computer...
"Maybe it's On Demand on HBO!"
Isn't
"Uh...OK, I'll watch my least favorite Bond movie to see if I was right about it!"
I get 10 minutes in to "License to Kill"
(Mrs. Silver) "I want to watch with you!"
(fume) "Well, it's a violent one...but I'll restart."
(Silver Jr.) "I'm done. What are we watching?"
Pause 10 minutes to clean up “pottery”.
"Well...you can't watch this one, so...um...HERE we go. You haven't seen this one. It's generally considered the worst one. Haven't seen it in years."
(Everyone) "OK!"
Start watching...sound cuts out and never comes back.
Restart it.
[7:53 AM] Mr. Red:
**Shuts TV off, goes to bed**
[7:55 AM] Mr. Silver:
Fast forward and the thing goes berserk...zipping at 10x no stopping it.
Force it off.
Start again.
All's going well.
And then it freezes solid.
And I explode.
(Mrs. Silver) "Why are you so upset?"
“Are you KIDDING ME???"
[7:56 AM] Mr. Red:
**Shuts TV off, goes to bed ... Grabs bottle of vodka along the way**
Which Bond film?
[7:56 AM] Mr. Silver:
"A View to a Kill"
[7:56 AM] Mr. Red:
Don't remember it much. Isn't that the one with Grace Jones?
[7:57 AM] Mr. Silver:
Yes
Got as far as the silly butterfly assassination thing and that was it.
Granted, Mrs. Silver had no context and didn't witness everything that went wrong to that point so her question was fair, but man. Can't a guy just watch a friggin movie?
[8:01 AM] Mr. Red:
The universe was telling you, "This movie SUCKS, give it up. Here, I'll spare you the horribleness."
[8:01 AM] Mr. Silver:
All three of the ones I wanted to watch, apparently.
"We at HBO GO admit we put this movie on the list but do not recommend you watch your selection. Please forgive us wiping your account."
[8:30 AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe the On Demand people hate Dalton's Bond
[8:31 AM] Mr. Silver:
Well, we watched "The Living Daylights" with no problem a few days ago.
The HBO GO thing was "Millennium"
When I couldn't get it, I decided to try "License to Kill" on my own. And then Silver Jr. wanted to watch so we settled and failed to watch "View to a Kill".
I was Roger Moore's last Bond
[8:32 AM] Mr. Blue:
Oh okay
"Moore isn't just long in the tooth – he's got tusks, and what looks like an eye job has given him the pie-eyed blankness of a zombie. He's not believable anymore in the action sequences, even less so in the romantic scenes – it's like watching women fall all over Gabby Hayes."
[8:39 AM] Mr. Silver:
LOL
He's certainly far past his prime in it
"James Bond will return in 'You Brats Get Off My Lawn'."
[8:44 AM] Mr. Blue:
Although some praised it. A few even said it was Moore's best
Grace Jones.. don't get her appeal
Although it worked in Conan 2 with her as a female warrior type
[8:47 AM] Mr. Silver:
Grace Jones was weird
I liked a couple of her songs/videos
[8:50 AM] Mr. Blue:
She dated Dolph Lundgren for a bit
[9:00 AM] Ms. Rose:
Sounds like that was a great movie you tried to saw last night, Mr. Silver.
[9:01 AM] Mr. Silver:
According to Tom H (ex-Katzenjammer and gaming buddy) she used to live next door to his parents' house in NY and made it a habit to spend her time naked in the back yard...
(Tom) "So that was interesting for me."
[9:01 AM] Mr. Blue:

"Moist Baby Arrested for Terroristic Threats"
(Brown) "All these mass shootings are false flags. I'll give 'em a real false flag!"
[2:02 PM] Mr. Blue:
It's weird that we never came up for any word to describe the years between
2000-2009 and 2010-2019, like the Nineties... Forties... etc.
[2:56 PM] Mr. Silver:
It was "The Jetsons Were Full of Shit 2000s" and the "Where's My F-ing Rocket Belt 10s", Mr. Blue.
[3:04 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[3:18 PM] Mr. Silver:
Someone online poorly suggested (and I fixed) "The Naughty Noughties" for the one.
How about "The Spleen Teens"?
[3:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
“Teens” makes sense but I've never heard anyone use it
[1:08 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Sales Techniques That Made Successful Woman Tycoon Hundreds Of Dollars Per Year In Native Country Fail Horribly In America"
[1:13 PM] Mr. Blue:
She looks like she's 3'10"
Maybe that weird jumper is causing an optical illusion

I'm not really sure how competitive the live cricket and worm market is in the NY subway. Maybe it's a big deal and the teens were protecting their turf.
"An estimated small fortune in stock - three to five dollars in LIVE snacks - was lost in the scuffle."
[12:39 PM] Ms. Rose:
Sorry, had to pee and got side-tracked
[12:41 PM] Mr. Silver:
Oh...that reminds me. You two weren't here for this call:

“Mr Speed” is a KISS song.
But I was SOOOO tempted to say "OK, let's set up 'Mrs. Peed' next."

It's on a part of property I don't pass by, but he does every day. Said they can't have been more than a day or two old.
I assume I know what it means but I'm not sure why they'd come mark it now.
And the area they marked is... not a wetland
[9:24 AM] Mr. Silver:
Is it... dampland?
[9:25 AM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe when it rains
It's a tiny area
Like it's an old vehicle turnaround for mine equipment... now it's just kind of a grassy clearing
[9:30 AM] Mr. Brown:
I guess any land that retains water at some point would be a wet land
[9:50 AM] Mr. Blue:
I get that, but all the rest of the time it's a dryland

It helped
[2:44 PM] Ms. Rose:
I was pretty shocked stepping off the plane in Arizona in March. There was snow in PA when we left. But I was greeted by troves of Mormons instead of cool drinks. :(
Troves? No, they weren't in little treasure chests. I think I meant "droves."
[2:45 PM] Mr. Silver:
Collections of Mormons in easily buried chests would be OK
[12:04 PM] Ms. Rose:
Bring me more Chex mix, Mr. Brown. Or whatever that was. Omm nom nom nom.
Why is there not more Chex mix on my desk?
[12:33 PM] Mr. Silver:
Chex Mix, eh?
[12:34 PM] Mr. Brown:
It is actually Beer Nutz Mix
[12:34 PM] Ms. Rose:
He called it "Beer (gentleman's parts) Mix."
(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)(rofl)
[12:34 PM] Mr. Silver:
Deez Nuts Mix
Chex Mix is a snack that's interesting because it became so popular that Chex had to start bagging the stuff.
[12:34 PM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah, that was funny
[12:34 PM] Mr. Silver:
I remember we used to make it ourselves for parties and feeding to the dinosaurs.
[12:35 PM] Ms. Rose:
No wonder they are extinct.
[12:36 PM] Mr. Silver:
I assume they felt that they had to do it so they could own it.
Because really...bagged Chex Mix is pretty lowest common denominator
I remember grabbing the home made stuff and it had a certain POW of flavor they were probably afraid to try, or didn't test well with wimps.
Like a lot of "spicy" food for mass release at a Wendy's or whatever.
(TV Ad) "Super HABANERO BOMB CHICKEN DEATH BEAST with CAROLINA REAPER PEPPER SAUCE!!!"
Then you bite in and it's a bit like a Medium salsa tang.
6 months earlier at a marketing test group, all the chefs are disappointed in the 30 person group who 'love spicy food' complaining it's too hot. Except the one guy in a CAT ball cap who calls it weak but asks for seconds.
[12:41 PM] Mr. Brown:
Yeah
Real homemade stuff that I would make would not be easily digested. I would dry the peppers and put them in, for one.
[1:47 PM] Ms. Rose:
I made approx. 60 lbs of real Chex mix for the last three movie days that Mr. Kelly hosted. I sent Mr. Oleo with it – I've been to enough movie days and have since learned better. (Just like feeding the outdoor cats! I am soooo learned!)
[1:54 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Yay! Movie Party! ...see ya when you get back, hon!"
So what movies did you avoid watching, Ms. Rose?
[2:03 PM] Ms. Rose:
Just ones I was already forced to watch in theaters. They don't watch anything new, obviously.
It takes way longer to make 60 lbs of Chex mix than it does to sit through “Deadpool” a 3rd time.
[2:05 PM] Mr. Silver:
So you've already watched it for me? Thanks
[2:05 PM] Ms. Rose:
Anything for a friend.
[2:05 PM] Mr. Brown:
I've watched it
[2:06 PM] Mr. Silver:
I know these things are supposed to be good, but I just don't seek them out.
[2:06 PM] Ms. Rose:
See? Mr. Brown is your pal, too. But not my pal. Because there STILL ISN'T ANY CHEX MIX/NUTZ ON MY DESK! :@
[2:07 PM] Mr. Brown:
I can put a turkey gizzard on your desk
[2:08 PM] Ms. Rose:
You put any animal parts on my desk and you will DIE.
Actually, no. I won't kill you. I will decorate your cube with "feminine products."
[2:08 PM] Mr. Silver:
I watched Thor
Watched Thor Dark World
Although the Avengers generally pleased me, I found it pretty clunky.
“Character intros! Woo!”
“Plot research and baddy! Woo!”
“Character conflict! Woo!”
“… … … … approximately 4 hours of breaking and fixing a giant helicopter... ... ... ...”
“OH! But then escapes and a BIG FIGHT! Woo!”
“And TWO of the heroes are using tiny handgun bullets and shortbow arrows that are doing … absolutely nothing... But they are Avengers and they're ASSEMBLED, man!”
“And then IRONMAN grabs a NUKE and FLATTENS THE ENTIRE CITY KILLING ALMOST 100% OF EVERYONE FOR MILES!!!"
"Wait...he didn't? Because the nuke would have gone off as soon as it reached the coordinates and...”
“OH...he went into SPACE and threw it at a random THING... maybe it was a ship full of kittens and orphans, or space hippies protesting the attack...he just tossed the nuke at the first thing he saw.”
“Well, fortunately for whoever it is it won't go off since nukes aren't on timers so...IT WENT OFF?!?!? Just because Tony wanted it to in the right place? WOW!”
“Cool! And in our next scene they... ... ... really? They used the same lame impossible remote power source thing from Independence Day and Phantom Menace so the heroes could win? Bleeehhhhhhh..."
"Oh, the Avengers go to eat gyros. I love gyros!”
“What a GREAT MOVIE!"
[2:34 PM] Mr. Brown:
“Deadpool” - get shot a lot and make jokes about it
[2:35 PM] Mr. Silver:
Good
He should
(re-reads Avengers rant) Yeah...'bout it
I loved a lot of it, but ultimately decided it was too weak in key areas.
[2:37 PM] Mr. Brown:
Hawkeye and his never ending arrows
Also he is supposed to be deaf
They must have decided that is too hard to do in film
I like the movie but yes there is stuff they could have tightened up a bit
I like the movie Iron Man
He scams the guys that almost killed him to save himself
LOL
I'll take these perfectly good rockets and make better ones, sure!
Hehe
[2:53 PM] Mr. Silver:
I liked Iron Man.
I think the fight at the end would have lasted about 10 seconds, but I liked it.
(Stane) "HAHAHA! We recovered your POS crap suit and learned how you made it and stole your generator and now you're gonna di- *BOOOOM*!!!!!"
(Stark) "That was a cute suit... You realize you copied something I podged together from trash, right? BTW I'm a genius and have been improving this tech for months. Oh...and I've had practice...lots of practice."
[3:11 PM] Mr. Brown:
Yep
Besides the fact the other is really big and hard to move
[3:12 PM] Mr. Silver:
Hehe yes
[3:12 PM] Mr. Brown:
Iron Man's was perfected down to a small strong fast suit
He should have just repulsor rayed it a bunch and been done.
[3:12 PM] Mr. Silver:
"Jarvis, I'm thinking my strategy is just to walk around it slowly and pick it apart from behind."
"Very good sir. Analysis calculates a 89% success rate."
"Only 89%? Eh...Maybe I'll jog a little."
[3:13 PM] Mr. Brown:
But you've gotta have a film version people will pay for.
“OK Jarvis, my plan is to walk straight up to him and- PRANG!!!
“I calculate a 2% success rate, sir.”
WHAM!!!
"Sir, if I might suggest an alter-" BOOM!!! “"iv-iv-iv-iv-iv-iv-i-i-i-i-i-i-i...."
[12:41 PM] Mr. Blue:
What was that other Brownism you came up with?
[12:43 PM] Mr. Brown:
“Frustration is the killer of solution”?
[12:43 PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
[12:44 PM] Mr. Brown:
or “For one who squeaks but never oils they will forever be squeaky”?
[1:00 PM] Mr. Silver:
"You hear about the mice in Mr. Brown's house squeaking so much they were keeping him up all night? Poor guy went through a 6-pack of WD-40 before his wife brought home some traps."
[1:01 PM] Mr. Brown:
LOL
[1:02 PM] Mr. Silver:
I didn't wanna be rude but I couldn't NOT write that joke, given the materials
(keeps)
[1:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[1:41 PM] Mr. Silver:
I suppose in regular use I should say "a guy"
