483 - "It'll Be Obvious To Everyone We're A Church", Cloud Bopping, NATO Names, Cajun Navy Versus 'Merica Marines, and You Have To Fail An American Driver's Test To Pass In Finland

[2:43 PM]  Mr. McGreen:
That place reminds me of the huge church in Cranberry. A friend took my family there for an Easter egg hunt once. It felt like a Walmart
[2:46 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Yeah
I like the more traditional churches
They can be big, but put in actual pews and such, not gigantic stadium seating
[2:47 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
But if a church would build traditionally these days they'd get blasted for wasting money
St Paul's Cathedral is gorgeous, down in da' Burgh
[2:48 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
A real church has a feel to it vs the big building churches
[2:50 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Megachurches are ugly
IMO the only benefit to going to church would be the history and architecture
Megachurches don't even have the architecture.
[2:50 PM] 
Like that "Crossfire - Church and Builder's Surplus Store” up Route 8 towards Erie?
"Come to our Sunday School and carpet remnant sale!"
[2:51 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Crossfire”? I've been past it. It is definitely not my cup of tea.
[2:51 PM] 
If my mom is in the car, we're always treated to "stupid name" as we drive past
[2:52 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
A place has a better congregation feel to it when its a older church
Not like you're going to a rock concert or symphony
[2:53 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Or a mattress store
[2:57 PM] 
I understand the choice of "cross"...natch...
I get the good ol' Holy Spirit or angelic messenger "fire".
But combining them, you either get a bulletstorm deathtrap...or... CROSS+FIRE



[9:20 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
It would suck if somebody ever found a way to control a hurricane
[9:22 AM] 
Conspiracy nuts think its been done.
[9:22 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Bob Dylan once sang of a hurricane
[9:22 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
That reminds me that I saw something online about a bunch of them
Very out-there conspiracies
Like there is no moon
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It really doesn't get any more "out there" than chemtrails and flat earthers... and those are pretty popular
[9:23 AM] 
As soon as they saw eyes like this in big enough storms, they decided they were being artificially made and directed - http://weirdthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hurricaneisabel1-460x276.jpg
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
There's one 4 seats in front of me
Chaz believes in chemtrails
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Brown:
Spraying drugs for mind or population control.
[9:25 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Ah ok
That'd take a lot of planes to produce enough though, wouldn't it?
[9:25 AM] 
Well, if they are really trying this they're wasting a lot of money accomplishing nothing
[9:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yeah... We're out of control and we're living longer than ever
[9:26 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
But we are controlled by THE MAN, MAAAAAAAAN
We should come up with a conspiracy theory
[9:28 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Cloud seeding has been attempted
I don't remember where I heard or saw or read it
But I remember that it has been attempted and there were some positive results with it too
[9:28 AM]
If you're talking about rain-making, yeah it works.
[9:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
[9:32 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
When there something strange
In your atmosphere...
Who you gonna call?
Cloud Busters!!!
When you need some rain
Nothing falling on your plain...
Who you gonna call
Cloud Busters!!!
[9:41 AM]  
<Applause!> 
Ah yes...the “orgone” man
(opens front door - man in overalls) "Orgone Man, ma'am."
"We don't have any bugs."
"Oh!  No, you're thinking Orkin.  I'm Orgone."
"What's that?"
"More a sex energy thing."
"Ohhhh!  Hmmm.  How does that work?"
(turns on thumpy dance track on music player, starts grooving)  "Free demo, ma'am."
"Come on in!"



[9:25 AM] 
Agent - “Romeo, Delta”
"And this is our son, Tango Charlie.  And this little sweetheart is Sierra Foxtrot."
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
And, of course, Echo XRay
[9:27 AM] 
Cute baby. He has his father's Call Sign



[9:09 AM] 
(Hurricane news - Man staying in house, standing in 18" of water, on topic of 'Cajun Navy'.)  "These guys came in and they are saving everyone they find.  They never ask if you're Black, or Asian, or Hispanic... there's no racism here, just Americans.  It makes me happy to know that all this talk is about a tiny part of the population."
(me) "I doubt the racist goblins would even come to help anyone anyway."
[9:10 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
*pulls up in boat, knocks on front door*
"Any white protestants in here?  White protestants?"
"We're Roman Catholic, but non-practicing..." 
*zoooooooommm*
 [9:13 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Mr. Brown would zip around them: "You guys should've been prepared!"
[9:14 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[9:14 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
"Next time buy an inflatable Gumby. Have a nice day!"
[9:15 AM] 
"Did you have a stock of food and water in there?  No?  Pffft! (*zoooooommm)"
[9:17 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Imagine zipping around the flooded streets on one of those big propeller boats with ample seating - "We'll send prayers!!!"
[9:18 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Yeah, Mr. Blue. I was just gonna say that - Joel Osteen throwing out pamphlets into the water.



[1:35 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
I remember being so nervous on my driving test that I turned the opposite way than what teacher told me to.
Said go right and I went left out of the parking lot
LOL
I was very nervous
he was the one that taught me too, so he gave me a Mulligan
[1:43 PM] 
"Well, if I mark that, I lose my teaching certificate...so..."
"Ok.  First I want you to turn right."
[2:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
What happened to me was I took the driving test in the car that my driving teacher taught me in, so he was like "Hey you're ready to go! Keys are in the ignition and the DMV guy is waiting outside."
So I went in and tried starting the car not realizing it was already running, so got a loud grinding noise.
So I assumed I'd already F'd up to begin with, and was pretty relaxed the rest of the way
Luckily "can't tell when car is already running" isn't on the test
[2:03 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Haha
I have done that before. Or you get in try to put it in drive but its not on.
[2:03 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I "wasted gas".
I was waiting til I was comfortable pulling out and he scolded me for wasting gas and sitting there all day.
[2:05 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Weird
They failed you for that?
[2:06 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Supposedly I was failed for the rolling stop, but I know the truth.
[2:06 PM]  Mr. Brown:
They're all very stressed...
Kinda like the guy that took my picture kept telling me to put my chin down more
and I ended up looking insane in the picture
Put your chin down more...little more...ok that's good.”
(Snap)
lol
[2:08 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Mr. Silver, did you use a fuel-efficient horse for your test?
[2:09 PM] 
"-20 points - Leaving course to 'Hit the Taco Bell drive through'.”
+30 for getting me a #2."
[2:09 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
LOL
"-10 points for asking if this is a 'burn run'"
[2:10 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
10000 points for doing a high speed sliding parallel park
[2:10 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I think I mentioned this, but in Finland they have to do a bunch of really technical stuff to pass their test
Like J turns
[2:10 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Didn't we used to have to do those?
But call them a 3 point turn?
Or is that different?
[2:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
J turns are a little different
It's like when you reverse at speed, then put it into drive/forward while simultaneously turning and finish going in the same direction
[2:12 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
That's like stunt driving
[2:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yeah
Drifts, spins, catching air
They basically license stunt drivers in Finland
[2:13 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Dude, I wanna live in Finland
