"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

"Anytime..
Anytime.. Over here... Over here... *unearthly clacking noises*"

"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"

"This

My

[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”.

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?
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

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

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
