[2:07
PM] Mr. Blue:
LORRAINE
ST. OURS
There's
a Saint Ours?
[2:10
PM]
St.
Ours sounds like a bandit joke that caught on.
"S'cuse
us, but everybody get down from the carriage and tithe to we poor
brothers of the Church of St. Ours."
[2:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
heheh
Not
as interesting IRL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Ours
I
wonder if she knows their namesake's feast day is tomorrow
[11:07
AM]
"Putin
Seeks Re-Election"
"You
will have to assess that new reality and become convinced that what I
was said today isn't a bluff," he said. "It's not a bluff,
you trust me."
[11:09
AM] Mr. Blue:
What's
the deal with their elections?
Do
they have to go back to Medvedev again?
They
have technical consecutive term limits
[11:10
AM]
(Putin
at podium with Stupiduel deck) "We also
have...(flips)...3...million...radioactive...mutant...ducks.
You trust me on that. So vote for me as if it counted!"
Yes...Russian
term limits are definitely written down, Mr. Blue.
The
Constitution of Russia limits the election of one person to
the Presidency to two consecutive terms. Since the constitution
contains no ruling on a total number of terms that a President may
serve, a former president may seek re-election after sitting out one
complete term
So
if he wins this one he'll get 6 more years on paper
Considering
the man in question, Putin's victory in the upcoming election was
likely decided – by him – in July of 2012
[11:25
AM] Mr. Blue:
His
biggest opposition, that Navalny guy, seems very much the same as
Putin
in
personality and policy
Maybe
less corrupt?
[11:47
AM]
"Vote
for Navalny – He's Less Corrupt"
[8:11
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
watched Alien 3 again
[8:11
AM]
That's
funny...I almost clicked that last night
[8:11
AM] Mr. Blue:
It
has some problems compared to the first 2...
For
starters they killed off everyone cool from 2. Then they kill off
the interesting new characters far too early.
I
understand if Beihn and the girl weren't available. Make something
up.
Say
they were separated in their pod and couldn't be located
But
it's a decent movie
It's
kind of like The Name of the Rose in space with all the celibate
monk-like dudes
And
the prison itself has some influence of like an old abbey in some
areas - big old pipes look like flying buttresses, giant fans look
like Catherine windows
[8:16
AM]
There's
a couple cuts of 3. Only seen the unloved theatrical
[8:16
AM] Mr. Blue:
yeah
that's all i could find
[8:17
AM]
Been
so long I only remember bits
Lotta
orange
[8:19
AM] Mr. Blue:
for
some reason Ripley having sex with the doctor guy seemed out of place
Both
in the story arc and for the character herself
[8:22
AM]
"So...doctor...technically
I haven't gotten any action for...(counts) maybe 95 years. And
then I got dumped on a planet of celibates. Ya think you could
help a girl out?"
[8:26
AM] Mr. Blue:
And
there was the manner in which she did it
I
mean she liked the guy, but she had sex with him to deflect from his
questions about the "contagion" she was worried about
It
seemed to cheapen the character
Ripley
will use sex to get what she wants? Boo
You
could easily cut the scene and lose nothing
[8:34
AM]
Maybe
they did
(shrug)
I've
read about the other version but never run across a copy
[8:35
AM] Mr. Blue:
I
guess the production was a mess
Script
pages came in the morning they were supposed to film the scene
Not
Fincher's fault, the production company's
[2:09
PM] Mr. Blue:
weird...
Alien 4 director also did Amelie?
wtf
[2:10
PM]
Never
saw Amelie
[2:10
PM] Mr. Blue:
quirky
movie... enjoyable
I
swore i saw Audrey Tautou walking down a narrow street in Paris when
i was there... Same neighborhood the film was filmed in
[2:10
PM]
"For
my next one I want to do something more frightening on a visceral
level.”
[2:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
and
also apparently the neighborhood she lives in
[2:11
PM]
Pretty
good odds then
[2:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
But
i'm only like 50% sure it was her... lotta cute brunettes in Paris
[2:11
PM]
You
don't say ;)
I
know the WWI hit lyrics were "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the
farm after they've seen Par'ee"...but I'm betting it was a
polite shift from "French girls" to the city.
I
still wonder if Americans say "Whee" because soldiers
brought "Oui!" back from the Moulin Rouge
[2:15
PM] Mr. Blue:
Could
be
My
dad was stationed in Germany during Vietnam, and apparently he
learned German. But only, like, dirty cat calling
One
was something like “guten tag fraulein mitten den hose der sehen
underwasche”
and
it actually worked once in a while
[2:26
PM]
Not
quite translating that one...
I know
the words I believe, just not making them into anything reasonable
Based
on this...and adjusting... "Lift your skirt and show me your
underwear"
I
was a bit off
In
the middle of the pants, see the underwear
lol
[2:28
PM] Mr. Blue:
It
was something about lifting your dress or dropping your pants and
show me the underwear, but in a rhyming pattern as well
[2:34
PM]
Perhaps
some found it bad enough they thought it was cute
heh
[1:32
PM]
Food
Drive suggestions list
Bunch
of items
But
for some reason only two of them had to have examples written next to
them:
Juice,
and Condiments
Do
they commonly have misunderstandings about what juice and condiments
are?
"Sir!
What is this?"
"Purple
Drank."
"We
wanted juice."
"And
you got it."
[1:57
PM] Mr. Blue:
heheh
[1:58
PM]
I
don't even want to know what street "condiments" are.
...actually
yes I do...
[11:50
AM]
Tale
1 - Dual flush toilet.
About
a week ago it started filling funny after a flush
Bit
of water...stop...bit of water...stop...bit of water... repeat til
tank full.
I
could see the intake control was leaking some water out the top but
couldn't see what to do about it.
So
fearing to crack it open without more info, I spent...off and
on...several sessions trying to research something by description
since I didn't even know the part names.
Eventually
I started getting close, but all the advice was not exactly what i
needed or for the wrong part, or was net dips not reading the
questions...
And
then, last night, I'd scrolled down past about 25 entries and one
said:
"is
the water pressure too high? It can do that."
Half
twist and it's been fine since.
[12:11
PM] Mr. Blue:
try
googling "toilet anatomy"
[12:12
PM]
Heh
Story
2
Working
on the blog I came upon some comment about Confederate preservation
and Southern Pride
As
typical for an opinion thing like that I cleaned it all up and
clarified...expanded a bit.
And
I couldn't remember the best way to say "voting against one's
own best interests"
It
just wasn't sounding right
So
I went and looked.
"Ah...OK.
... what's this?"
I
had happened to catch a glance through the first few lines of
someone's comment on the topic, Re: Red State Conservatives voting
against their own interests.
"Sigh...ok,
let me explain this: No we're not."
"Ok..."
I said, "I'm ready to be convinced. (click)"
[12:59
PM] Mr. Blue:
Someone
commented on the blog?
[12:59
PM]
No,
we still have zero
Just
in the Google search because I had a brain fart over "voting
against one's own best interests"
You
type something...look at it...doesn't feel right.
Anyway
"No
we're not"
[12:59
PM] Mr. Blue:
oh
okay i get it... continue
[1:10
PM]
Went
on to eloquently explain about how people vote for their principles,
and their beliefs, and what they feel should be done, and for those
who back them. "So we are not voting against our own
self interests, because they are our interests."
(finish
reading) "Uh...point against - that's not what it means."
Passionate,
eloquent...naive and stupid.
About
what I'd expected
I
wanted to find a way to respond "And the candidates who spoon
feed you this crap you want to here never actually follow through much but always manage to steal a bunch of money, don't they?"
Anyway...found
it amusing
My
kid's interests are free money, sleeping in, eating out and no
school. By the time he's 18 I hope he finds a good candidate.
[1:55
PM] Mr. Blue:
lol
The
Eat The Rich party
[2:13
PM]
Sounds
great!
