[12:46
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Mr.
Brown, I feel like if you were on Fear Factor, you'd pass the
gross-eating parts with flying colors.
[12:46
PM] Mr. Brown:
100
year old egg!
[12:46
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Ever
watch “An Idiot Abroad”? He ate fermented fish that was
super old.
I
dont even eat fresh fish
[12:47
PM] Mr. Blue:
Funazushi
[12:47
PM] Mr. McGreen:
It
doesn't look fun, though.
[12:47
PM] Mr. Blue:
It's
like eating a piece of history.
Kinda
literally.
Andrew
Zimmern had funazushi and he said it was genuinely unpleasant for
him... and that guy likes everything.
[1:00
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Would
you try the fermented fish?
[1:00
PM]
If
I was invited to.
I
doubt I'd like it.
I
wouldn't seek it out.
[1:00
PM] Mr. Blue:
I'd
take a bite.
Just
to say I tried it.
[1:01
PM] Mr. McGreen:
It
appears to be between 8000 and 10000 yen.
[1:01
PM] Mr. Blue:
Which
is like 75 bucks...
[1:02
PM] Mr. McGreen:
But
you get a whole fish, so I mean if you got like 4 people who wanted
to try it, not terrible.
[1:02
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
doubt anyone could stomach more than a bite.
[1:02
PM]
Yum...rotten
goldfish
I
dunno...Casa Marzu has fans
[1:03
PM] Mr. McGreen:
If
nobody can stomach it though, why is it a thing?
[1:03
PM]
[1:04
PM] Mr. Blue:
It's
from famine days when they had to preserve stuff for times when there
wasn't any other food around.
And
then someone passed it off as a delicacy and now it's a tradition.
Most
disgusting traditional dishes started as famine food
[1:04
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I'd
try meade.
Whoops,
mead.
[1:04
PM]
Mead
can be nice...I've tried a few gallons over the years
Not
my fave but I was in the SCA and it's basically a requirement.
[1:05
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Homemade
brandy is good
[1:06
PM] Mr. Blue:
Funazushi
isn't something you just grab and eat... it's a whole ordeal.
It's
like a ceremony.
[1:07
PM] Mr. McGreen:
So
its the ritual that's enticing
[1:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah.
I think there's like specific tea and stuff
And
it's usually in a traditional setting where you wear a kimono and sit
on the floor
[1:08
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I'm
very food phobic. I'd starve in another country
[1:09
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
think every culture has something to offer, food-wise.
[1:09
PM] Mr. Brown:
I
tried the tea that is made from green tea powder.
Smelled
like ass. Tasted like green tea
[1:10
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I'd
prolly be ok in Mexico
[1:10
PM] Mr. Blue:
Some
of the places Andrew Zimmern goes where I'd fear their food is nasty
actually looked good.
Kazakhstan
was one.
[1:10
PM] Mr. Brown:
You
can eat grasshoppers In Mexico soaked in chilis
[1:13
PM]
BTW, Mr. McGreen - We should add here that Mr.
Brown has dreams of a world insecto-gourmet tour
[1:14
PM]
Another
for the new guy: Mr. Brown wants to crush the Moon down to the size
of a ping pong ball and shooting it through the Sun
[1:15
PM] Mr. McGreen:
But
what about the waves?
[1:16
PM] Mr. Brown:
Pssh
Then
we can harness the waves as energy.
[1:16
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Wait,
do waves get bigger sans Moon?
[1:17
PM] Mr. Brown:
Well
it pulls on them
So
if the Moon got closer they'd get bigger.
[1:17
PM] Mr. McGreen:
But
you want to shoot the Moon into the Sun
So
I thought there'd be no waves.
[1:18
PM]
Heat
and the Coriolis effect would cause waves, and the Sun would still
make tides.
[1:18
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Check
this out
[1:19
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes,
we become Mercury when the Sun gets bigger
[1:21
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Reading
that wiki was just making me feel like a nihilist
[1:22
PM]
Yay
solar destruction!
[1:24
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Life,
uh uh, it uh, finds a way.
[1:24
PM] Mr. Brown:
Yes
by then we'll all be dead or will have moved to a new location.
[1:26
PM]
Guessing
dead, myself. Unless our space programs figure out cheap safe
warp drives and fusion power in a few years.
"We"
Hehe. Only if the four of us are unfortunate enough to figure out irreversible immortality.
[1:32
PM] Mr. McGreen:
The
timeline says we will only achieve 20% lightspeed before we are all
dead!
Sorry,
10%
[1:34
PM]
Like...riding
the ship? Heck yeah! At 20% light speed we'd be jelly on
the back wall.
Even
10%.
[1:34
PM] Mr. McGreen:
So
we will never escape our doom.
Colonization
of the stars is just unfeasible to me.
[1:35
PM]
Well,
the stars are kinda hot
[1:36
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Well,
I didn't mean stars exactly
[1:36
PM]
(sorry...too
involved with this project to do more than give snarky quips)
In
micro-gravity with a properly regulated acceleration I think we'd be
fine at 20% light speed.
As
long as the ship didn't hit a speck of dust or something.
[1:38
PM] Mr. McGreen:
I
hope the future is like the Alien universe
I
wanna be a terraformer
Or
space miner
[1:39 PM]
Wait. All the futuristic jobs to pick from and you top-place two harsh, dirty, high-risk miserable ones?
[3:02
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Oh,
so either of you try (restaurant)?
If
you cant park on the street...is there a nearby lot?
My
chocolate goddess is too preggers to walk far
[3:05
PM]
I
like that place
[3:05
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Do
you have answers for me?
[3:06
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
park along uhh... (street) or (avenue)
[3:07
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Ok,
so if you were heavily pregnant, do you think you could make the
walk?
[3:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Yeah
[3:07
PM] Mr. McGreen:
OK.
You are both welcome to join us
[3:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
Pregnant
women should be able to walk
[3:08
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Yes
just not too far
She
makes it a point to at least do a little walking on her days off
[3:15
PM]
Here's
an insane idea...
Drop
her off... (follow me on this) in front...
Then
you could park across town if you had to.
She'd
have time to get a table and you'd miss the 5-10 minutes of
woman-selecting-from-menu-while-trying-to-have-a-simultaeous-conversation-with-you
phase of the date.
[3:16
PM] Mr. McGreen:
Heyyyyy.
That's not a bad idea!
[3:16
PM] Mr. Blue:
Better
yet... leave her at home.
[3:16
PM] Mr. McGreen:
...
But
then I'd be going to a restaurant without her.
I
don't do that.
Well,
I take that back.
I'll
do Panera solo.
[3:19
PM]
(Jabba)
"Ho ho ho!
Ha ha ha! Panera SO-LO..."
[3:28
PM] Mr. McGreen
Don't
tell my wife.
[3:30
PM]
“This
diner is my kind of scum...”
