464 - "Al Ghoul! Al Ghoul! Al Ghoul!", Shinny Bald Head, A Short History Of Tourist Rocks, and Mr. Brown Pisses Off The Katzenjammer Good Folk

[2:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
Today I learned the preacher in Beetlejuice was played by the dwarf from Bad Santa / Me Myself and Irene
[2:03 PM] Mr. McGreen:
You know, I've seen neither of those.
[2:03 PM] Mr. Blue:
As long as you've seen Beetlejuice.
[2:05 PM]
Can't recall how to spell the star
Betel
geuse?
[2:06 PM] Mr. Blue:
Betelgeuse
I think that's how Beetlejuice spells it in the movie
[2:07 PM] Mr. McGreen:
So, like, was he ghost of someone or just born as some entity?
[2:07 PM]
Early scripts he was a demon or djinn
[2:07 PM] Mr. Blue:
And much more sinister
[2:07 PM]
Think "ghost" was easier
"Ghost with the most" rolls
"Demon with the...” Uh...hehe...can't say that.
[2:08 PM] Mr. Blue:
Tim Burton wanted him to be played by Sammy Davis Jr
[2:08 PM]
(Burton) "I know...'I'm the djinn with the gin, baby'. Would anyone get that?"
[2:09 PM] Mr. McGreen:
But what was his endgame?
Say his name three times and...ok, then what? Mess with people?
[2:10 PM] Mr. Blue:
I think he was someone/something that had ticked off the wrong people over a few thousand years and had probably a number of curses and hexes on him.
And one of them was he had to to come and go when summoned.



[2:12 PM] Mr. McGreen:
So I have a question.
Why do bald peoples' heads get so shiny? Other hairless parts of your body aren't shiny.
[2:13 PM] Mr. Blue:
Maybe the natural oil that's meant for your hair has no place to go.
[2:14 PM]
The other parts of your body are not hairless
[2:14 PM] Mr. McGreen:
I mean, I've even shaved my head with a razor
[2:14 PM] Mr. Brown:
Have you looked at shaved legs?
They get shinny too.
[2:14 PM]
Especially the shins
...get shinny...
Oh never mind...
[2:14 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Maybe I haven't noticed
[2:15 PM] Mr. Blue:
Shaving creams have lotions in them though, and women put stuff on their legs to make them shiny.
[2:15 PM] Mr. Brown:
Mine are shinny
Because I don't grow hair on all of my legs.
[2:15 PM]
How many legs do you have?
[2:15 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah, when you were walking up the stairs I thought about it
[2:15 PM]
Follicles all empty and get tiny I imagine. That and the natural oils give one that beautiful cueball shine.
[2:16 PM] Mr. Brown:
Maybe it's just the scalp doesn't get roughed up from use.
You're not using the skin on your head constantly to pic things up or rub against stuff.
[2:16 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Maybe you aren't.
[2:17 PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[2:17 PM] Mr. McGreen:
If I got muscly, I'd shave my head and grow a stache like Bronson
[2:17 PM] Mr. Brown:
Tried that...looked like a pedo.
[2:17 PM] Mr. McGreen:
You are not muscly though.
When I did it I just looked like I was stricken with the cancer
[2:19 PM]
I knew I knew you from film!
Your hair threw me, Mr. McGreen.
[2:19 PM] Mr. Brown:
I go for the unshaven look.
Fits me the best.
[2:19 PM] Mr. McGreen:
You mean on the sides, where you have hair?
[2:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
That guy has no fingernails.
[2:20 PM]
Nope
[2:20 PM] Mr. Blue:
No teeth either.
Real ones at least.
[2:20 PM]
He still alive?
Basically allergic to himself, isn't he?
[2:20 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Mr. Blue, you would be great at trivia shows
[2:20 PM]
Berryman was born with hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia which is a rare condition leaving him with no sweat glands, hair, fingernails or teeth
Different issue.  I've heard of people allergic to their own hair losing all of it. 
[2:21 PM] Mr. Blue:
It gives you fangs for teeth.
[2:22 PM] Mr. McGreen:
So what if he gets overheated?
[2:22 PM] Mr. Brown:
Pant like dog
[2:23 PM] Mr. McGreen:
Strong like bull!
[2:24 PM] Mr. Blue:
He probably has to make sure he doesn't get too hot.
[2:29 PM]
Heat sinks and fans under his clothes?



[9:27 AM] Mr. Blue:
[9:29 AM]
"has long been lost to the sea"
It's been a couple months, guys.
"The young sailors still tell of the glory that was the Azure Window and its loss to the sea in days of yore, back in - like - February or something."
[9:33 AM] Mr. Blue:
One of the worst tourist traps ever was Blowing Rock. I think in North Carolina.
I remember going there as a kid and being severely disappointed.
It became a sort of meme between my mom and me.
[9:40 AM]
So Blowing Rock blew.
[9:40 AM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
[9:40 AM]
"Well that's how it got the name, son..."
[9:42 AM] Mr. Blue:
It was supposedly because if you threw something off the edge it would blow back to you... A vortex or something.
But you weren't allowed on it to try, despite pictures showing people on it.
[9:46 AM]
"And over here is Leap-N-Fly Rock.  You'll just have to believe us, but if you leap off of it, you'll fly."
"And, of course, Rocks Turn To Diamonds Point..."



[9:53 AM] Mr. Blue:
WTF? Sounds like a train.
[10:06 AM]
?
[10:07 AM] Mr. Blue:
I heard a train horn/whistle
Musta been a ringtone or something.
[10:20 AM] Mr. Brown:
Probably a phone or tablet.
[10:20 AM] Mr. McGreen:
Now lets not just rule out ghost trains right away.
[10:21 AM]
Ghost train?  Ok, it was that.
[10:21 AM] Mr. Brown:
Well, there is a leprechaun brownie mix that runs around Katzenjammer in buckled shoes.
I'm sure he is not happy about the bathroom he lives in being remodeled.
[10:25 AM] Mr. McGreen:
Is one of your medical issues schizophrenia, Mr. Brown?
[10:28 AM]
A “leprechaun brownie” sounds like a hallucinogenic recipe.
Also a thing to say out loud if you want your luck totally hexed by the good folk
(Leprechaun) "What did himself call me!?"
(Brownie) "What di' 'e name us!?"
(fight each other a while)
(Leprechaun) "'Course t'was him that said it."
(Brownie) "Aye. I ken it's even so."
(Lep) "Say we put his arse in Blazes?"
(Brow) "And that we should, cousin.  That we should."
(shake hands and start plotting disasters against Mr. Brown)
Anyway...
Mr. Brown should probably tell the tale of his encounter to you at some point...
While he still can...
