561 - Confirmed: Animals Eat Food, "What's In A Name? The Far Right By Any Other Name Would Smell", Furry Gateway, Screwtopia, "Stalinfit", Eephusball Comedies

[12:18 PM] 
"University of Sydney researchers, in cooperation with Miss Alice's 3rd grade class at Mt. Holyoak Elementary, have confirmed monkeys...and by extension mammals...eat."
Physorg's "The Onion" division strikes again, IMO
[12:23 PM]  Mr. Blue: 


"Anytime.. Anytime.. Over here... Over here... *unearthly clacking noises*"
[12:24 PM] 
"When it was first suggested to us by little Timmy Hawkins that warm blooded animals might eat high energy foods to maintain body temperature, I said to myself 'Dr, this is damned exciting'!"
"The team immediately looked for funding but were met with resistance everywhere.  Finally they hit on a 50/50 funding deal with Betsy Devos of the United States.  And with their half of the $40 million, they set to work."
"We bought a camera that makes monkeys look like THIS!  We took a lot of our hands too.  We have them up on the craft wall decorated to look like glowing Thanksgiving turkeys"
(ref Mr. Blue's pic)
[12:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

(Monkey gets merc'd by a precision blast from a shoulder-mounted laser gun)
[12:33 PM] 
"This led to the Physical Biology department's 'If It Bleeds We Can Kill It' Theory.  With high casualties resulting from tests."
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Blue:  

heh



[9:26 AM] 
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

i liked his tweet about Robert Deniro, calling him Low IQ (and capitalizing low) and using "to" instead of "too"

A telltale sign of someone being an abject moron is when they bring up Republicans originally being the abolitionists as if it's some little-known tidbit
[9:39 AM] 
Don't forget Democrats founding the KKK
I'm betting there's not a lot of Democrat Klansman. 
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

also "the Nazis were socialists."

nnyyope
[9:48 AM] 
"and the Nazis chose the word "socialist" which means Left Wing, so it couldn't POSSIBLY have been an engineered semantic propaganda scam by Right Wing extremists -- despite almost everything they ever promoted or perpetrated."
Take Ghengis Khan's “Democratic Benevolence Movement”, for another example.
Or Emperor Qin's charity - “Peace & Love & Kill All Opponents”.



[2:47 PM] 
Gateway product for Furries...
:D
[2:39 PM]  Ms. Brick: 

LOL

I have to breathe after that one

too bad you still don't sit down here, that was a loud laugh
[2:40 PM] 
Lol
[2:40 PM]  Ms. Brick: 

No seriously. They wear those ??????????????????
Are you kidding me right now?

And they are adults?

OMG

lol

They are made in Cranberry right by the post office

lol

Oh my that would be warm in the winter
[2:47 PM] 
Little too warm for me.
[3:20 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

i saw some meme where a grandma sewed a shark sleeping bag for her (i assume) grandson

but the dorsal fin made it look like he had a permanent erection
[3:25 PM] 
LOL
Things are only $160
Would think a suit, a mascot costume, a giant stuffed animal, or a good sleeping bag would all be more than that.  This is all 4. 
[3:46 PM]  Ms. Brick: 

True true, i cant imagine anyone wearing them but then again i cant imagine Furries



[9:53 AM] 
Sister-in-law yesterday, relating conversations with husband: "And I'm like 'Honey, I love you and I'm listening but I have no interest in what you're telling me so it's coming in one ear and going right out the other and I really am just trying to be supportive."
(me) "So you've read 'Walden 2', eh?"
She gave me this big grin and laugh
[9:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I don't know it
[9:55 AM] 
Utopian novel
Among the vast (steaming) pile of social issues and corrective behavioral training it goes over in building a perfect society, one part was the conditioning that one no longer needs to deal with the social convention of having to listen to people talk about subjects one has no interest in - or have already heard - or have no capacity to appreciate.
Members are trained to just say "I'm not interested" and trained to accept that it isn't an insult and shut up.
Which...in it's capacity as a utopian novel...could have been directed at B. F. Skinner rather early on.
The Honors English class I was in freshman PSU read, analyzed, reported and discussed it.  
(professor) "Mr. Silver, what do you think of the social solutions and the proposed society?"
"I think I could utterly destroy it in less than two weeks and no one would know it was me."
(It caused a sensation – everyone had bought in, more or less)
"It couldn't survive anyone of the right state of mind wishing to sow chaos.  It would be extremely easy to break and it would happen eventually -- probably very soon." 
(I didn't have a good definition for 'psychopath' in those days...and that's only one vector)
It didn't take too long, examples wise.
I think it came down to the dinnerware that clinched my defense. That's the one that I remember best anyway.
"How long do you think an artistically-inclined individual could stand using the standard clear tray and glass on a strap that everyone else used 3 meals a day 7 days a week?  I'd start right there by choosing and hinting to 3 or 4 of them - separately - that they could design something nicer. Then I'd sit back and watch." 
Even the professor said "Oh God yes.  I couldn't stand the cafeteria trays, yeah."
hehe



[1:26 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Mr. Brown's Fitbit said he ate 1,500 calories a day and burned 4,000 a day.

I said "those are gulag proportions"
[1:29 PM] 
Find dieting success with the new Work-to-Death fitness revolution!
[1:30 PM]  Mr. Blue: 

Stalinfit”
[1:36 PM] 
I'm trying out The People's Exercise Pogrom!



[9:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

i started watching Hot Shots! but after 15 minutes of unfunny jokes i turned to something else
[9:28 AM] 
It had it's spark in the time period
[9:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

the jokes were really bad

like so bad they made me mad
[9:30 AM] 
yup
I can't watch the pop culture screwball movies.
Nothing wrong with screwball humor, but if it's too culture dependent they get terrible really fast.
[9:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

yeah
[9:31 AM] 
"Airplane" still works
[9:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

yes
[9:31 AM] 
Still
It's "ancient"
Cheech and Chong...nope
funny bits but it's all changed
Life doesn't exist like that anymore
[9:33 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Airplane” has a good amount of jokes that are just funny too, not pop-culture related

"don't call me Shirley" etc.
[9:33 AM] 
yup
[9:35 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

same reason why mst3k is still funny

Some "pop-culture" jokes but mostly timeless stuff

not all OJ Simpson or Tanya Harding 90s references
[9:36 AM] 
Or movies you saw 20-25 years ago with shot-for-shot parodies that are otherwise meaningless
[9:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Naked Gun still works, but the sequels get more dated
[9:38 AM] 
"Spaceballs" still works.  But Brooks chose nothing but international cultural icons. 
Nod
Naked Gun was on my list
[9:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

and Blazing Saddles
[9:39 AM] 
Blazing Saddles is "if you've seen ANY western..." mainly. 
[9:39 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

But yeah, parodying Star Wars, Westerns and Frankenstein insures timelessness
[9:39 AM] 
Blazing Saddles is probably funnier again after a slump just because it has come out how racist a disturbingly large segment of the USA still is.
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

heh
[9:41 AM] 
Robin Hood: Men In Tights... Pretty feeble in places...  Showcasing Elwes when he was big, mainly.
[9:41 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

Yeah, I never liked that one
[9:42 AM] 
History of the World - still funny
If there's anything pop-culture-y in History of the World, it's been ignored.
I can only think of one - Romans going in and out of the Caesar's Palace casino entrance
It's 1 1/2 seconds of screen time
[9:44 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

I ended up switching from Hot Shots! to The Thing.. and got more laughs outta that
[9:52 AM] 
The Thing - comedy classic
heh
[9:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 

One funny part is when the one guy morphs and his head detaches, rolls away, eyes pop out of his chin and spider legs out of his ears and he scurries through a doorway and everyone just stands there staring at it

"You gotta be f***ing kidding me"
[9:56 AM] 
hehe
