575 - Eat Drink Smoke Drop Snort Chill The F Out & Be Merry For Someday We Die, Ultimate Noise, and Un-National Cuisine

[8:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Every day you are alive poses risk of developing something or getting injured
lol
Romanian men average 8 drinks a day???
Which means some are 0 and some are... 16?
[9:05 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
America is not better
I've been trying to reduce my intake
to be honest, everything in this world will kill you
[9:08 AM] 
"100% of humans in the study will die."
They left out that people who don't drink at all tend to be less happy and less pleasant.
I'll take the 0.14% risk
Hitler was an epitome of clean living. 
Man...with no outlets? No wonder.
(WW1 officers club, Colonel looks at the aide that everyone on the base despises)  "Adolf!  Yes you, you whiny excuse for a soldier.  Drink this."
"I don't drink, Obergruppenfuher." 
"Well now you do.  Drink it.  Drink it!"
2 weeks later he's carousing with the guys and WW2 never happens
[9:13 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Drinking daily seems pointless
I'd imagine you'd build a tolerance and then wouldn't get the same buzz
i wish other drugs were legal.. I'd probably alternate
Monday is cannabis night, Tuesday is cocaine night, Wednesday & Thursday, sober. Friday is have a few shots...
US interventionism should just be shipping bottles of Scottish whiskey to caves in Afghanistan and Pakistan
[9:19 AM] 
hehe
[9:19 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
If we keep sending it they will hopefully drink it
[9:21 AM] 
The DoD's new operation: "Just Relax Bro"
I still like my capture, give one dose of E, release program
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Mission: "Check This Shit Out"
[9:25 AM] 
As a therapeutic, apparently one round is generally all it seems to take.
There's several with effects like that.  Mushrooms, for instance.  One go and a majority of test subjects have their addiction cravings for other stuff just kinda disappear for years.
It doesn't mean they won't use it... they just don't "need".
[9:28 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I bought shrooms once but chickened out
LSD seems the same
[9:29 AM] 
The health department should just treat them like a vaccination sometime in the vulnerable teens. 
"I understand your child has reached the angry a-hole stage.  That's fine.  I'd like to prescribe an overnight treatment.  All very standard."
Same for smoking/drinking/other.
"The diagnosis is Teen Social Chemistry.  We have a treatment."



[10:05 AM] 
Totally weird turn here...
"Ultimate Spinach"
A while back I read about a single-album psychedelic band of artists who worked with the Beatles called "The Fool", which turned out to be rather fun and catchy and very "fool"-y and I listened to several times. 
Naturally, google results had to include sites saying "people also enjoyed" selections...
I noted 2 of them
One was a group that did Lovecraftian themed stuff and their masterpiece was "At the Mountains of Madness" apparently. 
As expected it was a meandering mess made by people blown into another non-musical dimension by too much LSD.
After a couple insipid minutes I closed that one.
And so i opened up "Ultimate Spinach", and THEIR masterpiece "The Hip Death Goddess".
I settled in...mmm...nice groove.  Evocative lyrics.  Great delivery.  Yeeaaaahhhh....
Oh...here's an instrumental section...
...
...
check watch
...
...
(furrow eyebrows)
...
...
How long is this damned song? 
This song was like 9 minutes and everything happened at the front in the first 2.
It was, again, a bunch of people on LSD who couldn't figure out how to stop the song and just kept going until...I assume...the producer just decided he'd had enough and faded it.
After I though about it a while, there seems to be a lot of those from the Acid period.
So...I recommend it...and then I recommend turning it off when the goddess stops singing
[10:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Weird timing signature
I have a hard time figuring out the timing but this isn't something you can dance to
[10:22 AM] 
Hip Death Goddess?
[10:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yeah
eh... Maybe it's in 4s
[10:22 AM] 
You can sway hippie-like to it
[10:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Sounds like Jefferson Airplane
[10:23 AM] 
They're guilty of some of that, yes
Ultimate Spinach was supposed to be part of some movement... Bosstown Sound?
[10:24 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
it's not bad
[10:25 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lets just jam man
jam til we pass out
[10:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
but if this is their best I'd probably pass on the rest
[10:25 AM] 
Honestly I didn't try any others
I might
Have tomorrow off
[10:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
ahh.. 2 minutes of song and 6 1/2 minutes of a jam session while the lead singer goes and shoots up
[10:28 AM] 
"Just play the coda until everyone dies.  It's symbolic."
[10:29 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Lets figure out one good hook and keep playing it
[10:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It doesn't take much.. the Ramones found a dozen of them with minimal talent and usually sticking to less than 4 power chords
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I'm ugly but i play guitar ya yay ay
[10:42 AM] 
The Ramones couldn't sound good or talented LIVE!  They had a reputation to uphold, you know.
[10:43 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
we don't have to be good just loud
[10:45 AM] 
Which was torture for them d'you suppose?  Studio or Live?
I read a concert review on the Ramones a long time ago, which i don't recall so well, but I believe it was described as them coming out and doing their entire catalog in sets playing every one of them so fast and incomprehensibly just to get them finished that they were like 30 seconds each.
[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Usually everything is sped-up live
[10:58 AM] 
"They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years "
After garnering considerable attention for their performances—which averaged about seventeen minutes from beginning to end—the group was signed to a recording contract in late 1975”



[2:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I didn't know this but Great Danes are German
They changed the name due to anti-German sentiment
[2:02 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Great Germans
lol
[2:04 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
In the 19th century, the dog was known as a "German boarhound" in English-speaking countries.[29] Some German breeders tried to introduce the names "German Dogge" 
"great dane" isn't even meant to represent Denmark, but is rather of french origin
"grand danois"
I wonder what else those slimy Danes are trying to cash in on
I'll bet Danishes aren't even Danish
[2:21 PM] 
Danish pastry is Austrian
[2:22 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I read that Swedish meatballs are Turkish
Apparently nobody knew that until recently
The king of Sweden took a trip to Istanbul and came back with the recipe or something
[2:24 PM] 
Thank god French Fries, French Toast, and English Muffins are foods with national integrity
[2:24 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
It probably goes for everything. Everything can be traced to someone else
Fish n chips was brought to England by Italian merchants or something
[2:26 PM]
Jewish, actually
[2:27 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
At least we Americans will always have the hamburger
Egg rolls are an American invention, though, oddly enough
[2:28 PM] 
Most "Chinese" food in the restaurants are American
[2:29 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Most Italian restaurants should be legally required to label themselves Italian-American
[2:29 PM] 
True
I watched a short film on the topic of Chinese restaurant secret menus for diners who are actually Chinese
It wasn't just that "some" have one.  It's "most" have one.
[2:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Pretty much any ethnic restaurants in the US are heavily Americanized to fit our palette
[2:32 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Most Chinese food is kinda bland, I think
Like the real stuff
[2:33 PM] 
Not very likely
[2:33 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
depends on the region
I think a lot of it is really spicy though... Some if it is downright funky and fragrant too
[2:33 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
right
[2:33 PM] 
A living cuisine dating back to the BCs with that many regions and ingredients...they figured out how to cook
[2:34 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
China is so big I imagine their cuisine varies as much as it would from France to Poland
same goes for Indian
[2:36 PM] 
Read an interesting article on this topic yesterday...
(looks)
Bingo
[2:39 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
goulash was a must when we went.. it was good
They had different sauerkrauts in Czechia too... sweeter and pink?
The best thing in Germany & Czechia was the breakfasts
Just all different kinds of meats and cheeses and rolls and good coffee
Aside from the rolls it was all protein - atypical for breakfasts in my experience
[2:50 PM] 
Like a “Vaječný Syn Muffinu”?
Hmm...pasting that Czech bit into Google produces a much more attractive dish than my Egg McMuffin joke.
A McMuffin in Czechoslovakia is a "McMuffin", BTW
I had to type “Egg Son of Muffin”
[3:19 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
