Well,
there is a recent acknowledgement that we probably had an advanced
society on earth that got wiped out about 13000 years ago.
There's
basically nothing left of it.
[10:34
AM] Mr. Blue:
Globally?
[10:34
AM]
Probably
regionally.
Hard
to say when a comet hits you.
I'll
see if I can find it.
[10:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
think there's a gap between an orderly society - like the Aztecs, Mayans or ancient Egyptians - and an advanced one
[10:35
AM]
I
suspected such for a long time as an anthy/archy guy. When I
read it I immediately started looking around for the hoax
confirmation
[10:35
AM] Mr. Brown:
They
just found another hominid that was living with man, looking even
further back.
It
had a small brain according to their research
We
keep finding stuff out every day
It
would not surprise me if we came across an advanced civilization a
long time ago that we did not know about
[10:39
AM]
[10:40
AM] Mr. Brown:
Here
is where a big yellow arrow collided with earth!
[10:40
AM]
The
original proponent is a loon...and his predictions equally loony.
But he turned out to be right about some things.
[10:43
AM] Mr. Brown:
Aztecs abandoned their homes to merge with other races that showed up in
their lands
[10:48
AM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah...
the Spaniards
As
they said on Always Sunny... "The Spaniards banged the Aztecs
and turned them into Mexicans."
[10:48
AM] Mr. Brown:
[11:06
AM] Mr. Brown:
Maybe
he invented plastic
“Look
I have something for you Tiberius, I call it rubbermaidium.”
[11:07
AM] Mr. Blue:
Even
Rome had laws... You couldn't just chop someone's head off
[11:07
AM] Mr. Brown:
If
you are the emperor you can
lol
[9:51
AM] Mr. Brown:
We
climb mountains and trees now and they thought we left the trees back
then when we developed the ability to walk upright.
Geeze
[9:57
AM]
"This
instinct lives on in the act of putting one finger against a wall as
you are drying your feet one at a time while getting out of the
shower."
[10:11
AM]
Mother's
Day (week) included the phrase "I am not 'milking it'!"
I
followed up this claim with a list of events, choices and requests -
with days perpetrated on - where the 'Mother's Day' card was played.
This
included irritation at my 'Father's Day 1/2 Hour' running
observation.
Anyway...
One
choice was the insistence that Mrs. Silver gets to pick a movie to
rent and watch with me whether I want to or not, and the choice was
"50 Shades Darker".
"We
didn't like the first one, you know."
"Yeah...still
wanna see it though."
"OK"
So
we go to rent it and they are all out of blu-ray copies
Me?
I'm just wandering around idly since I don't get to pick anything.
"Got
one!" she announces, walking up with a case.
("Ah...someone
brought one in, I guess.")
We
take it home.
I
open the case.
Even
in the dark I can see... "Sweetie? This is '50 Shades of
Grey'."
"What?!"
[10:15
AM] Mr. Blue:
It's
on on demand
[10:16
AM]
Her
Highness would be obeyed... An official disk was needed.
(she's
into the extras)
Anyway
She
decides we will watch it again anyway.
"Maybe
it would be better if we made fun of it."
(She
considers) "Yeah!"
And
we did
It
was a much better film with riffing.
We're
still both baffled by the ending.
[10:18
AM] Mr. Blue:
A
spouse that insists on garbage movies would be a deal breaker for me.
[10:20
AM]
Nay,
Mr. Blue...I insisted on them first! Much like Christian Grey,
I have a deep seated need to be abusive...to cheesy movies. And
I dragged her into my world.
(considers)
Have
to mention that one to her.
[10:21
AM] Mr. Brown:
People
say the books are better anyways
[10:21
AM]
We
took it back and watched about 2/3 of the sequel last night.
Mrs.
Silver was quite observant in pointing out all the scenes and lines
that the author stole from better movies.
It's
fan-fic, after all
Film
#2 is both better in some ways and sillier.
Beau
Hunk Billionaire Boy seems to have forgotten that he had a job in
film 1.
It's
too inconvenient, going to meetings and the office.
[10:24
AM] Mr. Blue:
"My
desires are... unconventional."
I
think the books were panned worse than the films were
[10:24
AM] Mr. Brown:
50
shades of Torgo
[10:25
AM]
"Hello
my not-love. I'd like to point out I'm dashing, well-spoken, have a perpetual stubble. Did I mention I'm a billionaire?"
[10:27
AM] Mr. Blue:
Bummed
your wife won't try the kinky stuff you want in the bedroom?
It's only because you're ugly and poor.
[10:27
AM]
"Despite
my vast dealings and entrepreneur lifestyle of the previous months, I
suddenly find I don't wear tailored suits 24/7 and can pop up
anywhere as I apparently have no obligations anymore...except for once
with people talking in a meeting while I texted you. You, on the
other hand, have grown into a strong character somehow and do more
than me."
(Me
sitting on the couch...mind drifting to the chart of his company
stocks plummeting while they fool around on a yacht.)
Anyway...
They
added some good creepy tension they first sorely lacked.
The
author decided there might be consequences to living like he
does
"Oh?
Refreshing!"
[10:32
AM] Mr. Blue:
(movie
trailer voice) “His company stocks tumbling from his constant
absence, his partners wage a hostile takeover - 50 Shades Poorer
[10:34
AM]
"51%
Shares of Stockholder Outmaneuvering"
(next
day)
So
we finished "50 Shades Darker".
At
the end they had a teaser for the finale
[9:02
AM] Mr. Blue:
"Pitch
Gray"?
[9:02
AM]
Short
collection of scenes and whatever...
And
then...
Coming dramatically out of the darkness...
The title...
"50
Shades Freed"
[9:03
AM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[9:03
AM]
And
I said "Fred is spelled with one E!"
Mrs.
Silver lost it
[9:04
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
still read it as Fred
Fred's
the building supervisor
Puerto
Rican guy. Lives in the basement. Takes care of the rats. Has some
whips & chains.
[9:11
AM]
(Grey) "Marry me! Also I have to go to Portland for a meeting."
Couple
minutes later, Grey is flying a helicopter
(Mrs. Silver) "This
will be where he crashes the helicopter and everyone thinks he's dead."
(engine
explosion)
"See."
"Well
done, Sweetie!"
Anyway,
compared to the first one, we agreed it was a much better movie
[1:45
PM] Mr. Blue:
[1:51
PM]
So
what this adds up to in real archaeology is that an ancient human carved a glassy bracelet...found a pile of 80000 year
old bones...and dropped it there.
“Fraudkov
assumes - with no basis - "All jewellery had a magical meaning
for ancient people. Bracelets and neck adornments were to protect
people from evil spirits, for instance.".”
Commenting
on its beauty, Anatoly Krank-yanko added; "The bracelet is
stunning. In bright sunlight it reflects the sun rays, at night by
the fire it casts a deep shade of green. No girl would EVER
wear it just because it's gorgeous."
Mr.
Silver - Archaeological Cynic
[2:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heheh
[2:20
PM]
Ever
notice how much better Russian cavemen are than European,
African or SE Asian Cavemen?
Taller,
stronger, more talented, around longer.
Their
only mistake is someone went and published that they died out.
[2:23
PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe
we killed 'em.
[2:23
PM]
"After
7 years of analysis, the scientists of the Russian Academy of Negationist Science are confident that the piece was
made 30,000 years before the beginning of the Stone Age. This
new age - dubbed the Bon-Tonian Jewelry Aisle Age - existed before
stone."
Incidentally,
mentioning which stone age probably would have been wise, as
the paleolithic is kinda pretty old...like 2.5 million years.
Thank
you. Mr. Blue. That was quite the enjoyable fraud.
[2:30
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh,
"Bon-Tonian"
[2:30
PM]
Knew
you'd like that one.
