548 - "Oh Give Me A Home Where The Sasquaches Roam", "4 O'Clock", Stone Them From Orbit -- It's The Only Way To Be Sure

[1:07 PM] 
[1:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
just started
[1:59 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
not a bad point on not finding bear bones
they have been found
but specifically odds of him finding them
still lends to Bigfoot being bears though also
black finger nails
black eyes
sounds like a bear
[2:12 PM] 
"Tales of British Colombia's secretive Forest Goths."
"Black nails...black eyes...screeching roaring horrible music..."
"Bears smell, but these creatures..."
"Everyone has seen them and heard the roaring and screaming around here.  I've been a guide for years and you'd think they were killing each other, but I've never found the body of one.  Honestly by Monday morning I'm guessing they've left the woods, they're in regular clothes, and are at their jobs in town with huge hangovers."
[2:29 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Its probably also not a coincidence that a place famed for Sasquatch sightings is also rife with bears
[2:29 PM] 
However it's also quite farfetched that a place where bears are a common encounter that generations of locals don't know what bears look like.
[2:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
That is true, but lighting can play tricks on you
Add in a bear with an injured paw walking around upright, or mangy, or just behaving oddly, and i think it could happen
[2:35 PM] 
It would be interesting if – after everything was sorted out and we got a body – that Sasquatch is ursine, not primate
Long thinnish ones that like to amble about on their hind legs.
We've already got spirit bears and they're rare.
[2:39 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Those sound cool. I'd never heard of those before
What about Sasquatches just being actual humans
Due to some genetic thing, some branch kept having hairy kids... like the kind you see in freakshows... and they kept dumping them in the woods
[2:40 PM] 
hehe
Well...there's that nagging issue that humans tend to get smaller and smaller in marginal environments
Sounds like there's plenty to eat, but you wouldn't get giants out of them
[2:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
It is an island
[3:13 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Hairy Orphan Island
Maybe there is a demon bear
lol
even rarer
[3:16 PM] 
"A bear so evil it looks like a person"
"The North American 'Null' bear.  So much darker than a black bear."
No wonder no one can take a decent picture of them.
[3:21 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yep
Nor find them when dead
You just walk right past them
Got black bones
heheh
[3:21 PM] 
"You see that dead animal?"
"It's just darkness."



[3:09 PM] 
Read this out of curiosity this afternoon - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Four_O%27Clock
H. P. Lovecraft's wife of 2 years.
It really has only one specific problem.
Specifically "How is her character writing this?"
Granted it was 1922 and this style of spooky story got a bit more sophisticated, but her character is lying in a bed with all this stuff approaching, looming, and leaning in for her doom.
I can just see her with her diary and pen...an instant from annihilation...holding out her hand against the flaming demon of vengeance: "Just a moment...almost done.  '...4...o'...clock...period.  The End.  OK, kill me."



[12:22 PM] 
Watched the original "The In-Laws" Friday to try to calm down... long time fave, still funny.
[12:23 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Fiddler on the Roof
I turned it on to annoy Mrs Brown
lol
[12:23 PM] 
LOL
I almost recorded that and decided against
[12:27 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I kept turning on stuff like archery
golf
softball
equestrian
When she first told me what i was watching was stupid I put on Fiddler on the Roof
lol
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I get Les Miserables and Fiddler on the Roof confused
[12:41 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
ahaha
French mixed up with Jewish
[12:41 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
ahh
[12:56 PM] 
One is French one is Russian...to start
More than 100 years apart
...yet France looks more advanced.  :D
[12:58 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[12:58 PM] 
Peasants vs City
One is a musical beloved of generations who know the music and stuff.
The other is by Andrew Lloyd Weber
(Ding!)
One is a tale of generations -- with society rapidly changing for good and bad and the turmoil and heartache that goes along with it.
...So is the other one.



[8:38 AM] 
So... "The Quatermass Xperiment".  I have to go back and watch the end properly.  I had just a touch too much vodka for the comfortable position I was laying in and saw about 5 of the last 20 minutes in parts. 
"Xperiment" was a change from "Experiment" to capitalize on the British ratings board giving it an X rating
Which on their chart meant "too disturbing for general audiences"
[8:41 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I saw it was on tv again over the weekend, but it was under the title 5,000,000 miles to earth or something
[8:41 AM] 
I like the 5 Million Years to Earth one better
But this was interesting
[8:41 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Oh yeah you mean the B&W one
I saw that was on too
[8:42 AM] 
I'd not seen it.
[8:42 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
me either
[8:43 AM] 
it was like Monster A Go-Go, except good
It suffered from the American production company wanting to catch the lightning that was Britain's pre-Doctor Who – Quatermass – but insisting on an American grouch being cast as the lead. 
Probably could have been a star better.
David Warner was in it.  So young I barely recognized him and it still took a while.
[8:47 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Looks like it was a TV show too
[8:59 AM] 
Yup. 
So yeah...you know how the Brits will have strong characters conflict and you get that sorta tension between charisma and position and the hero sways the situation because he's just a bit more noble or something?
The American Quatermass is basically an arrogant a-hole instead.
"Excuse me...Fine.  I'll do what you say.  But why are you behaving like the stock 'by-the-book flawed military officer' character?  They're always wrong and get their comeuppance in the end, you know."
[9:12 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[9:12 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
you have no honor
[9:13 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
General chewing on stogie: “Mr. President, I believe we need to use [the most extreme weaponry available at the time].
If Kennedy could ignore Lemay on nuking Cuba, i think movie characters can too
like in Independence Day too
"Nuke 'em! Lets nuke the bastards!" 
Yeah, I'm sure the aliens are both unaware of earth's nuclear capabilities and also totally vulnerable to it.
"Fission?! We weren't prepared for THIS!"
They probably have mastered weaponry that we can't even conceive of
New-Fusion or Fusion 2 or something
[9:19 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That's why I think a rock will always work
Just throw a really big rock at them. They will be confused at it and forget to stop it
What started this talk though ?
[9:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It will breach their shields because their shields only deflect high velocity projectiles and energy.
The cliche movie military general that only knows extreme force
[9:21 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
haha
[9:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I bought the digital copy of Alien because it was only like $5 in HD.. that movie is damn near perfect
It's crazy that it has more attention to detail and less flaws than the one they just released this past year, Alien Covenant
In 1979 they knew that landing on an alien planet you'd need suits... but in 2017 they just wear hiking gear
[9:24 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
They try to play off the we can detect if you can survive so they can make less props
[9:25 AM]
Meanwhile any real planet that friendly to human life and in range would have people all over it.
[9:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yeah
