527 - Through The Rockgate, Bethlehem Drift, Un-Ethnical Behavior

[2:26 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
so there is a crystal platform in Giza
that a monolith sat on
[2:46 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Crystal platform?
[2:46 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
there is stuff made out of quartz
there is one with points
The platform
[2:47 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
ahh
[2:48 PM]
Alabaster...if that is...isn't crystal
[2:49 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
there are basins round ones with holes in them made out of it too
[2:57 PM] 
Looks an awful lot like regular Giza building stone
[2:57 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
up close you see the broken pieces its quartz
[2:58 PM]
Alabaster contains no quartz
Got any close shots of this thing?
[3:03 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Not finding one i can get too



[12:22 PM] 
"Jesus Cited Separately For Driving Without A License" -
[12:25 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
nice
[12:26 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
[12:26 PM] 
LOL
[12:32 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Jesus was a drifter - lost it in the drift



[2:57 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
There's a church steeple out of shocked quartz in Germany
[3:03 PM] 
Nordlingen is full of diamonds...nice
[3:03 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
that's the town from Willy Wonka i believe
when they're flying over it
[3:04 PM] 
Albrecht Adam (1786-1862), slaughter painter
Seems kinda...niche
[3:04 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[3:13 PM] 
I like the town notables list -
Painter
Painter
Painter
Painter
Painter
CONCENTRATION CAMP COMMANDER
...
Philanthropist (sorry)...
Philanthropist and charitable society founder (really sorry about the Nazi thing)...
...uh...
Footballer
Footballer
[3:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Damn.. a one-eyed Nazi
Germany transitioned from an artisanal economy pre-war to a sports economy post-war
See also:  Rintfleisch-Pogrom (sorry...really sorry OK?)”
[3:26 PM] 
Exactly.  heh
[3:27 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
German historical events and persons can roughly be separated into two groups.. anti-semitic and non-anti-semitic
And each pile is roughly 50%
Even small towns had so many pogroms you have to differentiate each by the year they occurred
[3:34 PM] 
Ugh



[9:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
morning Mr. Brown
re: “Bone Tomahawk”.  It's very accurate to the time period (in my dumbass opinion). They stick to the jargon of the time, which kind of makes it funny
It's not a comedy but there are humorous parts
The beginning starts with 2 robbers that just killed & robbed two people.. they hear horses coming so they run and hide.. but they find this canyon that's lined with animal and human skulls. 
"that look-a like some type a warnin' to you? like 'keep out'?" 
[waving revolver] "i've got an invite." 
Then they hear these ungodly howling noises. 
"That there sounds ominous."
It's a slow build but it starts with some unknown and almost mythical tribe of cave-dwelling cannibals that snatch a few people from a town.. and a the sheriff and one of the missing's husband go after them
[9:19 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning
lol
[9:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
[9:26 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
cannibalism is normally survival or ritualistic.
[9:27 AM] 
(Mr. Brown raises his voice but doesn't shout)
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
unless they get the tatsts
taste
[9:28 AM] 
tatas
[9:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
In this it's the ritualistic part
[9:31 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Like those tribes in the amazon that would eat people they defeated to strengthen themselves
[9:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
These folks don't seem to eat anything else
They're a tribe of native Americans, but native Americans don't consider them to be related at all. 
They're so profoundly inbred that they're deformed and degenerated
but not normal deformities.. i won't spoil it
[9:33 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
so they are tribe that started eating out of necessity then just kept going after realizing the abundance of supply.
[9:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
and they seem to inbreed intentionally, not out of necessity, to maintain whatever the hell they are
[9:35 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
well if they have developed certain deformities then started to have them as being ritual.
also if they are shunned by all the other tribes
they cannot really mix
[9:54 AM] 
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heheh
[9:58 AM] 
"As long as we're on that topic, boys, I can name everyone in the room who shouldn't have to leave the continent."
[9:59 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"You can stay.... on a reservation"
[10:07 AM] 
Heh
[10:14 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Wow is that idiotic
Either they are hyped up so bad they are not thinking or just not thinking in general
[10:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
to be fair there's no discernible difference between native Americans and your typical Mexican
Mexicans are natives, mostly
[10:34 AM] 
Heh...just posted the Always Sunny summation to the blog yesterday
[10:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"the Spaniards banged the Mayans and turned them into Mexicans"
[10:35 AM] 
Would be the Aztecs, but yes, that one.  Hehe
[10:35 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
similar elsewhere.. the vikings banged the Irish and turned them into Icelandic people
[10:38 AM] 
perhaps more "The Vikings banged the Irish and turned them into cliché Irish."
Red hair, fight prone, alcohol loving
[10:39 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
hehe
Fixed their gibberish language though
the Seljuks banged the Byzantines and turned them into Turks.
The Goths, Normans, Greeks, Berbers, and Arabs had a 5-way on Sicily
Probably Malta too
[10:46 AM] 
LOL
(Documentary voiceover on top of animated migration map) "This theory...AKA the Cluster-... Cut it. (inaudible) Because I can't say something made up like this. (inaudible) It's really called this? (inaudible) Okaaay, run it again. This theory...AKA The Cluster-Fuck Orgy Genetic Migration Theory...seeks to explain the ethnic results. JE-sus..."
[10:51 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
The less said about Hungary the better
[10:54 AM] 
At the Taburitzans show, they lumped 4 areas together and at the end they titled the Gypsy section "The European Mosaic"
"The gypsies started in northern India and...uh... (arrows all over the map and countries stacking up in a list) spread...all over central Europe."
[10:58 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Were the arrows red and ominous
"Gypsies – who spread disease, cast spells and steal children – are now in every country in Europe."
It's funny when you talk to even the most progressive European and bring up Gypsies
"Hey what do you think about gays?"
"Their business is not my business. they should be allowed to marry. love is love."  "Immigrants?"
"If they want to come here, they can come here. We have plenty of room. I will welcome them"
"Socialism?"
"The needs of the many over the needs of the few."
"Gypsies?" 
"They do not belong here! They should be ground up and fed to livestock!"
[11:04 AM] 
Which has probably happened...
[11:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
As long as that livestock wasn't later intended for human consumption
[11:06 AM] 
Vague recollections from anthropology stuff.  "The truth about the hatred against gypsies seems to be it's mainly a propaganda movement by governments whose only real issue is they can't pin them to a residence or figure out what they produce and consume, and so it's difficult to collect taxes from them."
[11:06 AM]  Mr. Blue:

526 - An Assortment Of Blasting Assaults

[9:53 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
did you like that coffee Mr. Blue?
[9:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
why, what'd you do to it?
it tasted like coffee
[9:54 AM] 
Drink it all the way down - sometimes the poison goes to the bottom.
[9:54 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I put a regular and a decaf in cause i like it to taste robust
but i don't like the giant caffeine punch of two regulars.
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
it does taste strong
i don't like coffee taste much but i think i'd prefer strong coffee taste to bland
[9:58 AM] 
If you're gonna drink it...drink it
Like me and people loading up tea with sugar and lemon and berry flavors and creamers and...
"Stop calling it tea."
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have always liked dark coffee
like a medium or up
when it tastes like dirty water its dumb
that's not coffee
[10:09 AM] 
"Coffee flavored drink product"
As opposed to "Beverage with coffee"
[11:29 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
once again i find myself at a crossroad where i think i should stop consuming caffeine
I feel good and shitty at the same time
[11:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
that's a symptom of low free-range caffeine
you need more
[11:32 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I think it exacerbates too many of my other problems
[11:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
caffeine is generally safe and well tolerated and even has some benefits
in moderate levels
[11:38 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I think my system is too over excited to start with
[11:33 AM] 





[10:24 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Watched Uncommon Valor late last week - similar to Rambo 2 and Missing In Action. Buncha guys go to vietnam to rescue POWs. gene hackman is in it.
It's horrible.
To rescue 4 guys, like 6 of the heroes die
It makes no sense to have 4 malnourished, barely-walking slave laborers when you need like 20 guards to keep an eye on them
It has gene hackman, swayze, fred ward, but also some terrible actors like reb brown (space mutiny guy). He even does the “huuaaahhh!” space mutiny scream
There are scenes where it looks like entire sections of it were removed
One scene *begins* with two guys in the middle of a fist fight with no explanation as to why they were fighting.
[10:30 AM] 
hehe
Saw it in the theater...barely remember any of it
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Gene Hackman is good
Fred Ward is good
but that isn't enough
The rest of them are too cliched.. like the A Team
[10:49 AM]  
I remember thinking it was a stupid mission that got a pile of people killed.
And the guy in the asylum making faces in the two-way mirror that was just a window...and blowing himself up.
And the guy happy to get people to run into trap after trap.
"Men!  I'm getting a team together to infiltrate Viet Nam because I can't make a phone call to Amnesty International."
"Why not, sir?"
"I get nervous on the phone."
(grumbling approval)
[10:53 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heheh
[10:53 AM] 
"I propose we spend about $200000 on equipment to invade a country in violation of a slew of laws, wander around for a while trying to find a camp, and then murder a bunch of people just in case something is actually there. This will cause an international incident and possibly result in full blown hostilities...just like the old days."
(Group roars in approval)
"Right!  Time for a montage so we can skip the 2 months of us talking ourselves out of this moronic idea!"
[10:54 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
And then they get there and the very poorly dubbed CIA guy is like "we know what you're doing, don't do it."
Of course the guy obsessed with bombs is called "Blaster"
[11:03 AM] 
Of course
[11:07 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I liked that film Uncommon Valor!
[11:15 AM] 
"Men, we're gonna get a team together and rescue a sailor that I've heard a rumor is on a Russky sub!" 
[11:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
hehe
The movie did have 1 good idea – a practice run on a fake prison camp. So they could have an excuse to double the explosions in the film



[12:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
So I watched Star Trek 2, so I'm caught up with you guys.
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Wrath of Khan?
[12:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yes
[12:37 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Wrath of Khan is probably the best or one of the best Star Trek movies
[1:48 PM] 
Wrath of Khan is a good 'un
Not least-wise because it was the first time Star Trek actually showed detailed battles, and nasty ones at that.
[1:56 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
They did everything that the first movie lacked but that made the show good. More character development... More interactions between the cool characters... An actual villain...
[2:03 PM] 
Yes
And good as it was, watching Space Seed first made it even better.
(Fanboys, 1982) "Awesome!  They brought Khan back!  This is gonna ROCK!"
(Everyone else) "Apparently there's some guy who hates Kirk in it."
(Other everyone else) "Who?"
"The guy from Fantasy Island"
[2:09 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Halfshirt Khan
The Chekov thing throws it off a little since they never met on camera til then but they “knew” each other.
[2:10 PM] 
nod
"I remember you...you were off duty."
[2:11 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I think some fan boys figured out Chekov was on duty on the enterprise in another location when khan was there the first time
but there was no on screen interaction
[2:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ricardo Montalban's impressive-ass chest that people thought was a prosthetic
It's weird that he was in such good shape because he also had a debilitating back injury that left him paralized just 10 years later
During the filming of the film Across the Wide Missouri (1951), Montalbán was thrown from his horse, knocked unconscious, and trampled by another horse.
Injury finally got him.
Was the solution to the pain to just paralyze the guy? That seems F'd up
[2:19 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
He would still have the strong chest
[2:20 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"the good news is you can still bench press"
[2:21 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
He has a very wide chest
I wonder if he was like Stalone and asked to have directors show his chest. Though Stalone asks to show his ass...
[2:24 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[2:24 PM] 
(1951...William Shatner hiding in the bushes with Leonard Nimoy on the set of "Across the Wide Missouri")  "Get ready with the pellet guns...Man I hate this Montalban guy.  I hope we never have to work on a project with him."
(Cedar Sinai Hospital, 1993. Montalban wakens) "So doctor.... how did the surgery go..."
[doctor pulls down surgical mask to reveal Shatner. Nimoy is a nurse] "Just fine.  Just fine."
[2:27 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Montalban slipping into sleep from the anesthesia hears the faint sound of somebody yelling "KHAAAAAAANNNN!"
[2:28 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[2:29 PM] 
hehe
[2:29 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
He branded his dead legs with "REVENGE IS A DISH / BEST SERVED COLD BITCH"
[2:44 PM] 
heh



[10:26 AM] 
Today's earworm is interesting.
Bang Wa Cherry's (a not really existent group) "Chin Chin"
Not sure why I looked it up
memories of "Blade" I guess.
[10:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I remember that
[10:31 AM] 
It has lyrics...not that you can practically understand any of the English words of it in that high-pitched kawaii voice they sing it in.  I've read them though.
:D
[10:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
There's a song in Guardians of the Galaxy that doesn't exist anywhere
not even on the film soudntrack
it's incidental music in the club / brothel
written by Jimmy Urine who has a cameo in the film but not released anywhere
[10:34 AM] 
I remember there was a song, but can't hear it in my head.. 
[10:42 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
other people must've liked it enough that there's a lot of info on it online and people trying to extend it into a full length song from the movie clip



[3:21 PM] 
Oh...forgot.  "Spectral" on Netflix
Kept popping up on "if you can't decide what to watch" type Netflix lists online.
It was definitely fun
[3:23 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
is that the ghosts one
like they are fighting them
[3:23 PM] 
Yes
[3:23 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I watched that
trying to pull out of my memory now
[3:26 PM] 
Its no "Aliens"
Some of the fighting was rather strange
Good plan...the balonium was science-stuff sounding.
But I kinda expected Delta Force to...you know...hit targets.
[3:30 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Fires gun erratically
**RUAAAUAAUAUAUAUAU!**
I GOT ONE!
[3:30 PM] 
"The Delta Force is trained in the latest Stormtrooper Sims DARPA has available."
[3:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Oh no they got half our team! What the hell?
Keep firing!
Oh no there are only 3 of us left! We fired all that ammo at them and nothing happened!
Keep firing!
These weapons are completely ineffective!
Keep firing!
[3:32 PM] 
"How's the budget?"
"Starting to edge higher than expected."
"Hmm.  Kill more guys next scene...less paychecks later on."

525 - Toos, Walls, Pipes, Bandits and Dimensions

[9:40 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Why does there have to be two to's
lol
My Engrish is Already hard
[9:40 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Where?
[9:41 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
just in general when I type stuff out. Which to to use?
[9:42 AM] 
hehe... I loved submitting - as an alternate to the proposed default password - "Let's make the default 2twototootutu22."
"No... No dude...  No.  I spell it out. It's the number 2...and then the number 2 spelled out...then to like go to...then too like also – like me too...then tu-tu like a dancer's tutu...then 22 - two 2s. "



[8:28 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Cittadella, Italy
good name
[8:29 AM] 
Interesting, aren't they
That used to be "the city"
and now it's just a marvelous feature of "the old city"
[8:30 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
if you look at old drawings/paintings/woodcuts of cities, most cities had not only moats but they were extremely elaborate
[8:30 AM] 
Gonna wall a place, wall it right
I'd hate be set up on the inner South end of one of those
[8:32 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Why's that? cuz that's where most invasions came from?
[8:35 AM] 
Sun
Always get less...in winter barely any at all.  The cold dim part of town.
Look how dark it is on the left
[8:39 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ahh yeah
A weird feature of city walls in Germany i've noticed is that instead of tearing down the walls they just repurposed them into houses
Since the wall itself was basically the same shape/material as the bottom half of a half-timbered house, they just timbered the top
[8:40 AM] 
:)
[8:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Did i tell you the story about Nurnberg when we were walking along the old city wall and we came to a dead end... the Pegnitz river... the wall crossed the river but the street/sidewalk didn't.
Some guy was standing there watching us and he was unlocking a door into the wall itself, like one of the guard tower turret things, and he was like "would you like to come inside?"
And he lived in there
It was about 4 stories high and basically just like the stairwell here... just every few stairs there was a landing and for each landing it was a "room" - kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom. Then at the top was the area you could walk on and cross the river.
He said the city just let him live there because it's better than letting it sit or letting vagrants in, and on the other side of the river in the wall was a bar
[8:49 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Here. the building with the red/white shutters was his "house" https://goo.gl/maps/LYYbMWnQpNP2
[8:49 AM] 
(reading realty sheet) "What's this 'Trebuchet Et Al Damage' caveat on page 2?"
(realtor) "Ahh...just legalspeak.  Come see the master bathroom."
[8:50 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[9:33 AM] 
Trump said. “Parts (of the Wall) will be, of necessity, see through"
"Oh!  So that's what an Invisible Barrier looks like." 
[9:37 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Maybe in 600 years the US/Mexico border will be a tourist destination
"Trump's Folly"



[9:16 AM] 
Was talking with Goober. After some mutual talk on the dysfunctional government never making a deal...
(me) "...because there's no rule against attaching stupid unrelated BS to bills"
(G - out of nowhere) "We shouldn't be paying the Palestinians!"
"..."
[9:16 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
He has brain worms
[9:16 AM] 
"We send 'em like 23 million a year!  23 million for like 70 years!"
(Calculates)
In the current US economy, that that's roughly $2 at our pay scale.
[9:17 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
1. that is not that much in the grand scheme of things.
2. foreign aid has been shown to pay for itself and then some.
3. i'm not sure what that money is for but i'm sure it has something to do with some sort of mea culpa for foreign policy failures on our part
[9:20 AM] 
We could support 160,860 "freeloader" countries a year.
What comedian was it, saying that his taxes amounted to enough to pay for a fin on a missile.
Feels Lewis Black-ish
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
They should sell naming rights to missiles
Joe's Plumbing's Tomahawk BGM-109”
I'm still LOLing at the ISIS truck with the "Mark-1 Plumbing" ad on the side
[9:29 AM] 
Heh
Product placement to fund the jihad
[9:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
they couldn't just peel that off
Damn... the Mark-1 Plumbing google reviews are good
Show up fully loaded and ready to blast past any task. Interesting uniforms. A+”
[9:34 AM]
(foreign reporter) "The only thing that survived the detonation was part of the south wall, and a titanium plate advertising the Mark-1 Plumbing service."
[9:35 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
You guys are great plumbers, but maybe not loan ISIS your vehicles.”
Still gave them 5/5 stars
[9:36 AM] 
hehe
[9:43 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The plumber came in and blasted that clog right out of my toilet
The tiny black sticker they placed on the toilet was a little strange
He also broke a few of my yeshua statues
I think it was an accident
[9:45 AM] 
(reporter) "ISIS has claimed responsibility for the repairs.  This has not yet been confirmed by government investigators."
[9:45 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"daughters missing but new pipes don't rattle"
[9:48 AM] 
"Clean, efficient. Wore booties inside and broke down all the repairs and costs.  Didn't understand the masks, shouting, and raising of rifles.  New sink great!"
[9:49 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
"They kept stopping and taking selfies while working holding up and shaking their plungers"
"Great work but had a disturbing way of opening packages – they grip them from behind and slowly move a knife across the front."
[9:55 AM] 
"Fast!  Made the call and they were there in 15 mins. Fixed the pipe, beheaded my trash neighbor and stoned his wife, and out in 20 minutes. Not sure why they needed 10 guys but it only cost $100!"
[9:58 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"Installed footbaths but I never asked for them."



[10:10 AM] 
Went for a hike in the snow yesterday with Silver Junior.  When we left I hit the radio...was a country station.
"Leave it there."
"You're into country?"
"For traveling.  Feels like traveling music to me."
"Like because they always play country for driving scenes in movies and shows?"
"Yeah."
"I get that."
So we have the hike...
Get back in and start leaving the park.
"Smokey and the Bandit" main song comes on.
And I start singing it...correct lyrics
"You know this whole song?"
"Kid, back when this movie came out, the entire US probably knew this whole song."
"Big hit?"
"Oh yes...had everything people wanted at the time."
Went over the basic plot, CB culture.  No spoilers. 
"Wonder if it's On Demand."
Isn't.
However it's being shown Sunday, so I'm recording it. 
"So it was really good?"
"It's a lot of fun.  They only made two big mistakes."
"What were they?"
"Smokey and the Bandit 2, and Smokey and the Bandit 3"
"That bad, huh?"
"Yup."
I'm very curious what I'll think of it all these years later...probably been since the 80s that I saw it.
[10:19 AM]  Mr. Yellow: 
East bound and down 18 wheels a rolling. we're going to do what they say can't be done...
[10:21 AM] 
We got a long way to go, and a short time to get there...
"Do truckers still use CBs?"
"Honestly, I'm not sure anymore.  They kinda suck compared to a lot of things that came later."
[10:24 AM]  Mr. Yellow: 
Some do. Usually the veteran drivers
Anyone driving 15 years or more
Well, maybe 10. *shrug*
They have communication apps and cell phones now mostly.
[10:27 AM] 
Figgered... You can talk to random people within a few miles about what they saw going on... or you can get real-time data the whole route you specify.
Smokey and the Bandit” couldn't happen now
Cops woulda nailed them both within minutes
(Monday morning)
[8:28 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I watched it recently for the first time and it was okay
[8:45 AM] 
Yup.  A solid OK movie.  But it was a phenom in the 70s.
Everyone wanted a Trans Am and a CB radio
Weird fad then...truckers, CBs, good ol' boy heroes
[8:47 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The director was a stunt driver for films like Bullit and i think the French Connection
Hal Needham
Nevermind on that
I'm confusing Hal Needham with Bill Hickman
[9:05 AM] 
Totally understandable.  (looks up Hal and Bill to see who they are)
;)
[9:05 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh



[10:24 AM] 
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I saw trailers for that show
[10:37 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
multiverse
Could be very plausible
Could be what dark matter is – separate universes co-existing and acting upon each other
[10:45 AM] 
Well...I mean the Mass/Energy issues could be that sort of interaction instead of a Dark Matter or Dark Energy that's out there, yes.
(physicist) "We called it The Dark Neighbors theory."
(reporter) "It was originally the 'There Goes the Local-Reality' theory wasn't it?"
"Well...yes. But there were complaints when we published under that title."
