543 - Crater Creator, God Is My Operator, and "Highlander: The Anticlimax"

[12:33 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I love how China still cannot predict where that space station is going to hit
[12:37 PM] 
I loved the map from...yesterday?
"It's going to come down anywhere from here to here." 
(Entire globe except the poles)
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yep
lol
[12:38 PM] 
"People in Antarctica will be safe."
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The latest is them saying if its going to hit your country, we will tell ya.
See it streaming across the sky towards you.
[12:39 PM] 
Phone rings...
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
It's in your country.”
[12:39 PM] 
(Chinese astrophysicist one phone) "We...uh...kept getting a voicemail error."
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I don't think all of it will burn up, it is rather large
We don't normally get a lot of space junk and meteors landing around here
[12:54 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
cuz it burns up
Most of it probably lands either in the oceans or the arctic/antarctic since that comprises like 85% of the earth's surface
[12:55 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I was just thinking of the places that see the most stuff coming down, like Russia
[12:55 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
It's the biggest place so it'll see the most
Apparently there are zero impact craters in Pennsylvania
which means we're due
[1:00 PM] 
It's spelled doomed, not due
[1:04 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
Maybe the way the earth rotates, we just don't get hit
[1:05 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Quebec has a bunch, but it's pretty big
the ones in Quebec are massive and obvious too
[1:24 PM] 
"Nothing-to-See-Here Circle Lake"
Wonder what ancient people thought about these perfect circles. 
Sort of wonder...be fair, I know legends of them.
I guess I'm maybe more interested in the middle people.
[1:41 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Ancient man standing on top mountain seeing large round crater, thinks back to when he was sitting on the beach and got up. hmm I leave crater were my balls were. yep must be the Great Spirit's balls crater.
This is a special place
[1:41 PM] 
The people who were not steeped in mythology...but not heavy science believers
"Uh...God did it?"
"Why?"
"It's...a mystery?"
[1:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
this one touches on it in the last paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_Mound_crater
[1:58 PM] 
Serpent Mound...
2 nights ago, Mrs. Silver calls out from other room: "You know what the Serpent Mound is?"
"Yes!" 
...
...
...
"You wanted me to tell you...didn't you?"
"YES!"
"Sorry.  Its - (etc)"
[2:00 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That's where the natives killed a giant snake and buried it
lol
[2:00 PM] 
heh
"It's a big ol' mound of serpents."
[2:01 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That anaconda did not want none
And so after the Serpent Mound was made, women throughout the tribe that had buns were brought to the mound to see if they were worthy.”



[1:42 PM] 
Oh, before I forget
Magic Mrs. Silver...
Camera, day before yesterday – Took a picture of Silver Junior on the fully charged battery. 
Yesterday AM, – wanted to take an Easter morning photo of Mrs. Silver
"You will NOT take a picture of me."
"Oh come on." (THUNK!)
Broom has fallen right behind me. 
"You bumped into it."
"I was nowhere near it.  Look."
"Huh..." 
I leave...sneak around the corner when she isn't looking.  Hold up the camera.  Put my finger on the button...
And it turns off. 
Go to turn it on.
"Charge Battery"
"This was FULL!"
(looks) "What?"
"You DRAINED the bloody BATTERY to keep me from taking a picture!" 
"Hmmm.  There's another battery.  It's charged."
"No.  I want to take some pictures and I'm not having you kill the second one too."
(the end)
[1:47 PM]  Mr. Brown.:
Shut off your spiritual energy for a moment, I would like to take a picture
[1:48 PM] 
yup
[2:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I bet if i thought back hard enough i can find times i have done something
probably all of us, actually
She seems to be more in tune though
[2:38 PM] 
She can be downright creepy
She had two people she gave tarot readings to call her  last week.  In the one case it was a "that will never happen" rejection, and the other the two of them tried to interpret the results and couldn't explain the reading. 
Both calls were "OMG you were absolutely correct and it made no sense at all at the time!"
[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have moments of clairvoyance. I think everybody does
[2:40 PM] 
Yes
(because this is a sim)
That came up yesterday
[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
i get a lot of Deja Vu
[2:42 PM] 
Two of us had this story: 
"One day I picked up the phone and there was someone on the other end already.  When I said hello, it was the person I intended to call.  They had also intended to call me.  Neither of us had dialed any numbers yet."
Absurdly impossible.
Proof this isn't real. 
[2:43 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Oops” says the people in control, “we connected that a little too quick.”
[2:43 PM] 
It is beyond far-fetched to even make contact with another person even if the phone services somehow managed to screw up and leave open lines between two people.
On top of that, have it be two people who know each other.
On top of that, those two people intended to call each other and at the same time.
POG
[2:44 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Personal Ocular Guidance?
[2:49 PM] 
"Proof Of God", Mr. Brown
I'd use "POS" (Proof of Sim) but POS means something else more useful in daily life
POSOS?  “Proof Of Sim Or Something”?
POP "Proof Of Puppeteers"?
Eh.  POG appeals to the more heavily religious.  I'm a spiritual fellow but not very religious
Tell a Catholic a "Proof of God" and they'll hug you. 
"Proof its all an illusion in a simulator" and they'll hang you.



[2:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
i didn't know Jason Clarke was Australian
he only does American accents
[2:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Well Christopher Lambert is French
just learned English for the Highlander stuff
lol
[2:31 PM]
Sort of
[2:49 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
You ever see the sequel?
[3:11 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have seen all the highlanders
[3:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Is 2 bad?
[3:12 PM] 
2 is bad
Bad enough i stopped there
[3:13 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
They go down hill after 1
Same thing basically, just new foe
[3:13 PM] 
(Sean Connery voiceover) “We fought for thousands of years for a sucky prize”
Much like Midichloreans...
They took a perfectly good mystical setting with little to no explanation of the meaning and impetus of the Immortals and their drive to finish the Quickening...
And said "We'll make them aliens and they won't remember."
non-spoiler...they pretty much tell you right away
[3:18 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
SCIENTOLOGY
Win the prize – “You're an alien”
hmm
But is the last one really the winner?
[3:22 PM] 
"I won mortality. And...um...some sort of awareness thing? It wasn't worth it.”
(Sean Connery voiceover) "And so...armed with the power of The Quickening as 'The One', McLeod settled into his antiques business until he died, absolutely terrified of being hurt the first time he cut himself in the kitchen making dinner."
(Scottish with French accent) "It's ne healin'!  It's ne healin'!" 
(Roxanne) "JEsus...it's a little nick.  I'll get a Bandaid."
[two weeks later] 
"Know what?  I'm out.  You've been hiding under a blanket since you bumped your toe and I've had enough."
"But it HURT lass!  It HURT! Ye canna ken!"
Yes I can. Welcome to everyone else's experience.”
[3:41 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
An Egyptian with Spanish name and Scottish accent
[3:42 PM] 
Yes...who spent years in Japan and got a sword made in a technique that didn't exist for centuries.
[3:43 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Highlander: The Anachronism”
I guess we are to assume they spent time elsewhere and lost their accents/names
But he spent enough time in Scotland to pick up a Scottish accent but not a Scottish name?
[3:43 PM] 
McRamirez Sama
Maybe that's what ancient Egyptian sounds like
[3:45 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"The Kurgan" works. Make them so ancient we don't know wtf they were supposed to look or sound like
[3:46 PM] 
So basically McLeod should have started as a Pict or something?
Fought the Romans
[3:46 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Make them like Huns and Scythians, yes
[3:47 PM] 
I would have liked that
[3:47 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Nobody knows what they looked or sounded like so the F'd up accents and appearances won't matter
[3:47 PM] 
Gives a better sense of the extreme time period we're talking about.
They should all have shown up together anyway and been all dead centuries earlier.
