[2:44
PM] Mr. Blue:
An
absolutely insane time period in history - the Spanish conquest of
Mexico.
Just
insane stuff
[2:46
PM]
Fought
against savages with a violent religion and too much gold...and THAT
was the SPANISH
[2:47
PM] Mr. Blue:
Heh
Like
even just building a bunch of ships while inland to wage a naval
battle on the lake
[2:49
PM]
All
the people the Aztecs killed to keep the sun rising...
How
many more than that did the Spanish kill for God?
[3:01
PM] Mr. Blue:
The
Aztec's brutality motivated the Spaniards to fight better
Because
they knew if they surrendered or were caught they'd have their
beating hearts cut out and be cannibalized
[12:45
PM]
Mr.
Brown working for Discovery: Science Channel now?
(Commercial
announcer...space graphics) "Could the Sun really hurl Mercury
into the Earth?"
(scientist
dork) "It would be devastating. It would end all life on
Earth."
(animation
of Mercury crashing into Earth)
I
turn to Matt
"You
realize, of course, that the odds of this are about the same as
taking two blind people, putting them 100 yards apart, giving them
each a gun, not telling them when or which direction to shoot, and
they try to hit each other's bullets in mid air? How about let's
talk about something more likely...like a direct hit from a solar
flare."
(Matt)
"No kidding. And someone
decided to spend money on making a show about it."
[12:51
PM] Mr. Blue:
heheh
[12:52
PM]
That
episode probably cost more to make and show than I'll make in my life
[12:55
PM] Mr. Blue:
I
wish some loaded idiot would just give me a tiny fraction of his
money

[9:19
AM] Mr. Blue:
[read
this on twitter this AM] Ironically 'Cheddar Man' sounds like a slur
you'd call a white guy
[9:30
AM]
Cheddar
Man should start making commercials for the British Cheese Council
There
are thousands of good words in Britain to evoke the idea of an ancient Briton...
...
"Cheddar"
[8:13
AM] Mr. Blue
"Sir
I'm afraid we can't allow you to win money while gambling. What
do you think this is? A charity?"
“What
he was doing isn’t illegal. He’s basically an ‘advantaged
player’ because he knows what he’s doing. The Hard Rock has a
strict no-tolerance policy for non-suckers."
[8:22]
"He
just waltzed in here, la-dee-da, and started winning at games.
It's just rude that he'd learn to play well like that. I
started as a carney, and we could sniff out a guy who practiced and
knew the tricks like that! (snaps fingers)"
[8:40
AM] Mr. Blue
"Gentlemen!
You can't gamble in here - this is a casino!"
[8:43
AM]
"If
you want reliable high-paying gambling income, invest in a stock
index! Get out!"
(Spock
and Kirk in casino security, looking at flashing readout of blackjack
table) "Mr. Affleck knew exactly when to 'Hit'."
[8:56
AM] Mr. Brown.:
See,
the counting cards thing is always hard
because
once your brain starts doing it you can't stop
[8:56
AM]
Yeah,
after all the required training how could you stop?
[8:56
AM] Mr. Brown.:
You
practice Black Jack every day of your life, you're going to know
what's coming
[8:56
AM]
exactly
unless
they make you get drunk before playing or something
[8:57
AM] Mr. Brown.:
That
happens with my father in law playing rummy.
My
mother said my grandpa would always know the cards too.
[8:25
AM]
People
that act like heroes for reporting phishing emails to IT are weird
"I
knew it was spam. I just thought I should report it to you. Have
you ever seen anything like this before?"
[8:30
AM] Mr. Blue
Heh
[8:31
AM]
"Good
Lord! No, sir! Why...this changes everything!
I have to call the FBI next -- I'm betting there's a medal in
your future."
[8:35
AM] Mr. Blue
LOL
[2:31
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
could tell as soon as this guy started talking he was a dick
They
all talk with a special tone
Like
“by the way, I'm very smart”
Then
he confirmed it by saying he is an educated person...which says to me
he is not.
Then
the reason he was brewing a dick also confirms it because it was
stupid.
But
said its unfair and he is not happy
[2:35
PM] Mr. Blue:
sounds
like a real snowflake
[2:36
PM] Mr. Brown.:
yeah
[2:37
PM]
(reads
"brewing a dick")
"That's
... it may be brilliant."
[2:40
PM] Mr. Blue:
"Sir,
I'm a complete dumbfuck moron... and i'm probably still smarter than
you."
(That'd
be me saying that, not you Mr. Brown. lol)
[2:42
PM] Mr. Brown.:
lol
[2:42
PM]
LOL
[2:44
PM]
If
all y'all weren't smarter than 99.5% of the people that we deal with,
we probably wouldn't have been running this chat this long.
[2:58
PM] Mr. Brown.:
We
are all eccentric
[3:02
PM]
The
purview of the intelligent...or the insane. Gotta burn off the
extra IQ on something or you get The Alzheimer's
[3:03
PM] Mr. Brown.:
I
sometimes think I'm getting Dementia or Alzheimer's now
But
then i remember i have lots of issues that can contribute to brain
fog
[3:05
PM]
"Well
the tests are back, and your brain is burning itself for something to
keep it from diving right into an oblivion of depression
because you are too smart. Have you ever considered
hobbies like...oh...decorating your entire property with garden
gnomes, or wearing polka-dots with stripes every day?"
[3:06
PM] Mr. Brown.:
lol
[3:08
PM]
I'd
always assumed the racing random associations and strange comments
and stuff in my head were like that for everyone.
My
mistake.
[3:08
PM] Mr. Brown.:
yeah
I
don't always catch what you're saying, and you don't always catch
what i'm saying
lol
[3:09
PM]
It's
a kind of magic
[3:09
PM] Mr. Brown.:
non-stop
everything everywhere at one time in one place in my brain
all
connected in some fashion.
I
throw people off in conversations because they can't figure out how i
got to the subject from what they said
Or
i just start in the middle of a thought
[3:10
PM]
I
used to be "on" all the time.
I
would formulate and say stuff long before I thought about any
consequences or if it made any sense at all.
[3:13
PM] Mr. Brown.:
Yeah
i still do that
I
say the wrong thing, not cause i'm an asshole but because i'm moving
so fast
[3:13
PM]
"I
don't understand" was a common phrase in a lot of my
conversations.
I
can still get rolling way too hard if I'm interested in what I'm
telling someone. If you've ever seen me just stop...and say
something like "OK it's your turn."
I
had to self-train that. :(
[8:17
AM]
Nuke
attack article advice: If the explosion was ground based, you can
also protect yourself by getting above the blast—usually higher
than the ninth floor of a building. Be sure to stay near the center
of the building in a room with substantial walls.
But
that's the advice – if you see the flash – how to take shelter
before the blast wave comes if you even get a chance.
I
think a better way to put it would probably be:
If
the explosion was ground based...
And
you are already far enough away...
In
the center of a building...
In
a room with substantial walls...
On
the 9th floor or higher...
And
the whole building doesn't collapse or burn with you in it...
...
You
got lucky.
(Just
sayin'.)
[8:24
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
picture a Loony Tunes-esque scenario where the bottom 7 floors are
obliterated and the building falls perfectly down and the 8th floor
becomes the 1st floor.
Depending
on where the blast is, you might want to just jump right out in front
of it to end your suffering.
"Surviving"
a nuclear blast isn't always preferable
[8:25
AM]
It
was a fairly positive article past the "If you are standing
here, goodbye" parts.
[12:55
PM] Mr. Blue:
“In
the opening minutes of the film, Bourne has his nightmare in Goa and
goes to the bathroom. We hear the fluorescent lamp ballast (choke)
buzzing at 60Hz, however if Bourne is in Goa, India like the film
says then it should be buzzing at 50Hz.”
Find
who posted that to the Bourne Supremacy IMDB goofs page and have them
publicly executed
[1:00
PM]
Yup
Hehe!
I
picture a 45YO savant tub of lard sitting in the dark of his parents'
basement listening to Foley in films and ID-ing the effects.
[1:03
PM] Mr. Blue:
And bothering to know the specific Hz of Goa as opposed to Sikkim or Punjab
[1:03
PM]
"Well
THAT was obviously not a 100 watt GE Soft White popping. That
was a '74 Kodak Instamatic Flashbar...charge #3. Just who are these people
trying to fool?
[1:03
PM] Mr. Blue:
They
did a joke like that on the Simpsons (of course)
At
a Q&A for Itchy and Scratchy – some nerdy guy: "In
season 4 episode 35, when Itchy is playing Scratchy's rib cage like a
xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession and yet two
separate notes can be easily identified. Boy, I hope someone
got fired for that blunder."
[1:15
PM]
LOL
