[10:49
AM] Mr. McGreen:
My
ex's brother would get yelled at by his dad for wearing purple.
According
to him men don't wear purple.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Blue:
Depends
on the time in history.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Brown:
Purple
used to be the most expensive color a long time ago.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Blue:
There
have probably been eras and cultures that considered pink/purple
masculine.
[10:50
AM] Mr. Brown:
Wearing
it actually meant you had money.
[10:50
AM] Mr. McGreen:
The
Catholic church uses purple during Easter season.
[10:52
AM] Mr. Brown:
They
used to only be able to make purple from shells of Bolinus
brandaris
sea snails
I
could not remember what it was - had to look it up again.
[10:53
AM]
Pink
used to, in fact, be a man's color.
As
a shade of red it was considered too macho for girls.
And
yes...Royal Blue was expensive.
[10:58
AM] Mr. Brown:
So
wearing pink and purple is good
[10:59
AM]
Yup..Tough
and rich. A true Manly Man.
[10:59
AM] Mr. Blue:
Just
like how being fat and pale was a status symbol.
Now
it's the opposite.
[11:00
AM]
Right...well
fed and didn't have to work in the sun...or at all.
[11:00
AM] Mr. Blue:
Now
being thin and tanned is a sign of having free time to relax (lay out
in the sun) and travel to warmer climates. And to eat healthy +
exercise.
[11:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
That
funeral notice... Guy musta died recently. The Messenger says he's
only been offline for 2 hours.
[11:36
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
wonder if he was in the building.
Working
here when it happened, I mean
[11:37
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
believe he was the one that had cancer.
[11:37
AM] Mr. Blue:
Ah,
yeah.
[11:37
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
didn't know any of them had cancer.
[11:37
AM] Mr. Blue:
He
wouldn't shut up about it.
[11:38
AM]
He
has a great work ethic if he managed to hold out til 9:30 this
morning.
"I
need to make a couple calls for funeral arrangements then I'm calling
off dead."
[11:39
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
stayed here to work when I turned brown.
[11:39
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Yet
you've also left with a headache
[11:39
AM]
...
[11:39
AM] Mr. McGreen:
LOL
Lets
not compare and compete with the dead guy
[11:39
AM] Mr. Brown:
A
throbbing headache that shot to my eyes, right!
[11:40
AM]
On
topic, I just started the "was that sliced turkey still good?"
experiment over lunch.
Here's
hopin'
[11:41
AM] Mr. McGreen:
I
don't play that game.
Any
doubt...throw it out.
[11:41
AM] Mr. Brown:
If
its slimy and smells, don't eat it.
If
no smell and no slime, it should be good.
[11:42
AM]
“Honey?
This turkey is bone dry and has no odor.”
“It's
good!”
[11:42
AM] Mr. Brown:
Food
lasts longer than you think.
Longer
than dates on packaging.
[11:44
AM] Mr. Blue:
My
mom and grandma would eat around mold on bread.
[11:44
AM] Mr. McGreen:
Yeah.
I saw someone scrape the mold off the top of refrigerated spaghetti
sauce once.
[11:48
AM] Mr. Brown:
I
have eaten left-out mayonnaise for 5 bucks before.
It
had a crust.
It
was still good.
I
won't eat moldy stuff though, other than cheese that is supposed to
be.
[11:49
AM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
[11:54
AM] Mr. Brown:
Some
molds are safe but you need a lot of testing to know.
[11:54
AM] Mr. McGreen:
The
black stuff off basement walls is great on toast
[11:55
AM]
Thing
with mold...
If
you see mold on the surface, it's already dug deep.
Surface
appearance of mold tends to happen at the "Welp...I'm running
outta eats...I'd better send out some spores" stage
[11:55
AM] Mr. Brown:
Surprisingly,
meat can sit out for quite a while before it gets really bad.
Even
after a long time, its only an issue on the exposed surface.
[11:57
AM]
Thus
the old beliefs that a steak wasn't good til it had a nice layer of
green, and you should hang your game birds til they start getting
nasty.
I'm
perfectly happy with the theory that early humans were basically
scavengers and that we are still wired to have a taste for
“rotten/spoiled” foods.
[11:59
AM] Mr. Brown:
Dry
aged steaks, for instance.
[11:59
AM]
"Wow!
These chunks of rotten moldy milk are great!"
"I
agree. Pass the rotten cabbage and squeeze me a cup of swill out of
that waterlogged barley that's starting to fizz."
"I
hear up north they've been burying fish and then digging it up after a few weeks."
"Hmmm...we
should try that."
"I
know! Turns to goo and stinks like Hell."
"Hot
DAMN. What are we waiting for?"
[12:01
PM] Mr. Brown:
Mmm
mmm... Good ammonia
“Get
your rotten shark here!”
I
still want to try it
Although I see the jars of pickled herring at the store and pass it by.
Back
in the days of people testing foods. Try a new one, and if didn't
die you kept eating it
[12:10
PM]
And
then they invented the dog...
And
you fed the new stuff to the dog, and if the DOG lived...
You
had a better chance yourself.
[12:14
PM] Mr. Brown:
Dogs
can eat some things that people can't. lol
Then
somebody feeds the dog grapes
Dog
dies
They
are poisonous!
And
for years nobody realizes they can eat them.
[12:17
PM]
Thus
the "better chance" caveat.
Grapes are one of those ones we certainly ate fresh, dried out, and rotten for the buzz long before we had dogs.
People
thought tomatoes were poisonous.
Someone
finally hit on and tested the theory that the new Americans trying
tomatoes out were often serving them on high lead pewter plates and
the acids were leaching it out.
Oopsie.
[1:00
PM] Mr. Brown:
Soooo...
Looks like Bruce Willis is the actor for the Death Wish movie remake.
[1:03
PM]
...
We
needed one?
I watched the first one...I was done.
[1:06
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
saw the first Death Wish.
There
were 5 of them in total.
[1:06
PM] Mr. Brown:
I've
seen more than one Death Wish too.
Stuff
just keeps happening to that guy.
LOL
[1:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
LOL
I
forget the first one... It's just kind of an older NY guy whose
daughter gets beaten up so he goes on a killing spree?
[1:07
PM] Mr. Brown:
Either
beaten up or killed
I
forget now.
[1:08
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah,
she mighta died.
[1:09
PM] Mr. Brown:
In
one his neighborhood is being overrun by a gang, so he decides to
fight back.
I
looked. The first is his wife dies and daughter is raped.
The
second his daughter is raped and maid is killed...after he got
mugged.
Man,
his life sucks.
His
poor daughter's life sucks too.
Three,
the police use him as a weapon, because he apparently is a serial
killer now who kills muggers.
[1:17
PM] Mr. Blue:
That'd
be funny if in each Death Wish movie the thing that triggers him is
progressively lamer
[1:18
PM]
Death
Wish 7 - Wrong order at Starbucks
[1:18
PM] Mr. Blue:
Like
Death Wish 1 - wife killed, daughter raped.
By the time you get to Death Wish 6: Neighbor used his outside spigot without permission
By the time you get to Death Wish 6: Neighbor used his outside spigot without permission

[1:19
PM] Mr. Brown:

PM]
