500 - Society's Rules For Wicked Games

[8:55 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I have a friend that was very close to joining the Masons until he started getting requests from them for dick picks and insinuating they do gay stuff
[8:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[8:55 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
multiple members
[8:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"It's actually a very old rule... centuries old... You have to text us your wiener. Read the bylaws."
"Please do not bring this up with anyone else... That's also against the rules."
[8:56 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
lol
Back in the day you commissioned a painting of your wiener
[8:57 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Probably a bad lodge
lol
[8:57 AM]
Sounds like these Mason are lookin' to put their “members” in the “bad lodge”
[8:59 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
"We have secret ritual sleepovers.  But we demonize real gays."
[9:01 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It's always the Republicans that get caught with a page boy or a male prostitute
Dems have their share of scandals... they are usually hetero though
[9:01 AM] 
Heh
Usually right after a vitriolic public outcry against gays
[9:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Or like a 20 year career voting against gay rights
[9:04 AM] 
One of the late night comic news shows (Colbert?) featured a sheriff doing that – they played one of the guy's rants.
Cut back to studio - "So he's going to be caught in a truckstop bathroom stall in...(looks at watch) 3...2..."
[9:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Heheh
[9:04 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Well its hard to hide their secret when they try to make it hard to be gay
[9:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Roy Cohn made a career out of accusing people of homosexual activity... died of AIDS
[9:06 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
AIDS is not specific to gay people though
[9:06 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
But that's how he got it
[9:06 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
I think labels don't help either though.  You have one experience with a friend at summer camp and according to America you're gay
[9:06 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Yeah lol
This one time... at band camp...”
Well if you look at the Romans it was normal
[9:08 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Yeah societies can't really just decide which human behaviors are normal or not
[9:08 AM]
Actually, that's exactly who decides. In spite of biology/psychology.
[9:08 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
It's always a culture thing and that changes
[9:11 AM] 
Dave Allen bit...attempted reconstruction...
Greek and a Italian arguing over the accomplishments of their ancient civilizations and which was better and more innovative.  Arts, architecture, literature, science, politics, military.  It was running even and Greece was scoring points on Rome having to steal so much.
Greek offers: "Ah, but in all this, perhaps our greatest accomplishment is the introduction and glorification of Romantic Love." 
The Italian responds: "Yes.  That's true.  However the Romans improved on it by engaging in Romantic Love with women."
[9:16 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
At different stages of Greece/Rome it was normal or not normal
[9:20 AM] 
Different stages of history in everywhere, really
Sexual mores depends a lot on the culture you're living in too
If you read way too much ancient stuff... like some of us...
At least 1/4 of us in this conversation stopped being alarmed and confused by how much direct, generational, and tangental incest was going on.
Naturally, these isolated cases were always loudly protested by the other gods/family members/public...
Oops...typo...
Naturally, these COMMON cases were NEVER EVER even QUIETLY disapproved of by the other gods/family members/public...
Arabian Nights was full of "And so she married her uncle, and..."
[9:29 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
The uncle that hugged too much at reunions
[9:29 AM] 
Read any ancient dynasty crisis or analyze mummy genetics and they were always married to their sister or own kid or 1st cousin or whatever.
[9:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Which is why it's weird that people are so interested in (falsely) claiming royal blood
"Oh so you're inbred? Congrats"
[9:30 AM] 
(Jeff Foxworthy) "If your family tree does not fork...you might be a New Kingdom Pharaoh!"
"If your aunt is your sister on your father's side...you might be a New Kingdom Pharaoh!"



[11:53 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
We went Trick or Treating last year and a guy had a full Michael Myers getup. They were handing out almost no candy.  Kids wouldn't go near him
When i was younger but had stopped Trick or Treating, I would put on a scary clown mask and hide in my grandma's bushes
Jump out scare anybody coming to get the candy
My dad one year dressed as a scarecrow
He sat in a chair all slumped with a bowl of candy that had a note saying “take one”
It was really funny when he would move suddenly
Now parents get all pissed off when you scare their kids
[11:55 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Yep
Used to have to work for your candy - now you just walk up and get it
lol
[11:57 AM]
(Old Man Brown and Old Man McGreen, sitting on porch in late October) 
“Why back in MY day, the grownups actually tried to kill us when we wanted candy.”  
“Kids today are soft!”
I have a dandy scare-free gag I'm plotting for Halloween
Rig up a passageway...20' maybe... dark walls.  Light shining on the bowl of full-sized goodies at the end.
"You can have one of this, or one of The Good Stuff. Its right in there.  Go get some."
It wouldn't even need a jump scare. 
Just watch them imagining what horror awaits down there and deciding.
[11:58 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
Could do a projection
Get to it and its just an image
[11:59 AM] 
Or darker with a mirror?
Walk down...you see something walking towards you in the dark.
[11:59 AM]  Mr. McGreen: 
That's pretty good, Mr. Silver. They'd just be so afraid of something happening
[11:59 AM] 
Yup
I like both variants
World's shortest haunted house
Bring in whatever monsters are in your head.
[12:00 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Maybe have something to jump out after they leave - run a long con on the brave ones
Or maybe the "scare" is that it's just apples or oranges
[12:01 PM] 
Wait...This isn't candy! Augh! Fresh fruit?!” (holds chest, panting)
[12:01 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
lol
"Pencils and toothbrushes!?!"



[12:01 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Jason vs Freddy was going to originally end with a Pinhead cameo
[12:03 PM] 
"I've been looking for you two... No more games."
[12:03 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
They didnt pursue it because the director decided Pinhead was too B-list
[12:03 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
You would think Pinhead and Freddy would know each other
[12:04 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
They were both going to appear in Hell. Then when they run toward each other chains grab them and hold them still. Pinhead stands in the shadows and says "Gentlemen, is there a problem?"
[12:05 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Question is who has more power? Freddy or Pinhead
[12:06 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Pinhead
Doesn't seem like you really "defeat" him... he just kinda goes away.
[12:07 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
Close the way in
Kinda same with Freddy - he is not really gone
Although his power does come from fear and belief, and Pinhead doesn't. So yeah, Pinhead.
[12:07 PM] 
Right. Pinhead physically manifests in the real world and doesn't have to use his victim's imagination to do anything.
[12:07 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
He probably wouldn't approve of Jason and Freddy's methods of choosing victims
[12:08 PM] 
Heh  "Why are you idiots killing them?  They depart and neither you nor they get to continue to play.  And they call ME Pinhead."
[12:08 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
Yeah. Hellraiser 2, they spared a little girl who opened the puzzle because she was a pawn it wasn't her intention
[12:09 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"It's not hands that call us (open the box), it's desire"
[12:09 PM]  Mr. McGreen: 
There you go
[12:10 PM]  Mr. Brown: 
The Hellraiser rules get bastardized as it goes on
[12:10 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
They all do.
Really you should only stick with the first couple of a franchise if you wanna keep some consistency.
[12:10 PM] 
Basically you should be able to play with the Lament Configuration like a Rubik's Cube all day long if you don't know what it is.
Turned into the Ding-Dong Ditch of dimensional Hell portals
[12:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Of course in the first Hellraiser the girl didn't mean to open it (or didn't open it at all?) but they thought she did.
But she turned out to be kinda demented in sequels... So maybe she *did* desire it, just a little
[12:11 PM] 
(Pinhead leans out of Hell gate) "You desire anything?  No?  K..."
[12:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"What's your pleasure, child?"
[4 year old messing with The Box] "Fire trucks!"
"Ehhhhhhh... Okay..."
