587 - All We Know About Platypi, Hot "Quantum Of Clothing", "...And They Breed Like Humans", and The End Times - One Fool At A Time

[10:17 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
The platypus was leftover parts.
[10:20 AM] 
(God walking through workshop, angels diligently following original schematics.  Plain brown box tied up on a desk in the Australia area.  God picks it up)
"So what's in the box?" (gives it a shake.)
"NO!  Don't!"
(God giving Adam the tour) "And this one is the Water Weed of Physical Ugliness.  You can eat this one if you want, but...well... (points at Platypus)"
"It's delicious, Lord!  Totally worth it, Adam."
[10:24 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
(keeps eating weed)
Well, now you have a bill.”
did it again
Now you have webbed feet.”
did it again
Now you can't hug anybody because you have venom.”
did it again
Now you have to lay eggs”
did again
your tail is now flat”
[10:26 AM] 
LOL
[10:30 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
We die and go through the tunnel of light - all three of us.
We hear clapping
Wonder what the clapping is for
Get there
People and angels start shaking our hands
What's this for?”
[10:31 AM] 
"Ruining everything?"
(boot down hole)
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
lol
Well you guys are the only ones to entertain us AND also get most everything right.”
Guy comes from back of the room
How did you know about the platypus?”
[10:32 AM] 
hehehe
[10:33 AM]  Mr. Brown:
Then we all get shown to the Design Room
lol
Have at it, boys!”
All rubbing hands together. Big smiles
[10:35 AM] 
"But...I can't sculpt.  Can you guys?  We don't know how to do this.  Are we supposed to spend our eternity making new stuff for Earth with no skills?"
[10:35 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
We are just idea guys, how can we do it?”
[10:36 AM]
"Where did you think you were?"  (Thunder)
"Hello boys...welcome to the Know-It-All Shop."



[8:10 AM] 
Quantum of Solace” last night.  I've now seen it 3x but each time I couldn't remember if I'd seen it.
Still haven't seen “Spectre”
[8:11 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Probably #1 in terms of bond girls (IMO)
Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko (thumbs up)
[8:11 AM] 
Olga and Gemma?
:)
Someone in costume design obviously had a thing for Gemma
(Costumer) "And so this is my new concept for Strawberry Fields (pushes sketches)" 
(Producer) "This is a short trench coat...unbelted...in sunny Bolivia...with knee high boots and nothing but bare skin visible."
"And hot mess red hair..."
"And...hot mess red hair...um... She'd look naked under this."
"(confused expression) Really?  Hmmm.  I don't see it."
[8:19 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[8:19 AM] 
"(winks) Me either.  And she is obviously must wearing something because she'll be under the sheets after the implied sex scene." 
"Oh!  About that, to prevent confusion about that scene, (passes sketch) I was thinking she be awkwardly draped across the sheets and show completely bare from neck to the bottom 3rd of her tush."
"Hmmm...yes...   Too bad this isn't going to be NC-17..."
[8:24 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[8:35 AM] 
"Maybe in her crime-scene shots, in the form of a Goldfinger homage we can mix things up and have her lying on her back covered in oil instead of on her belly? Maybe spread a little because she struggled." 
"Oh, we'll certainly film it both ways..."
Best part of that whole thing was M after Fields was found dead.
(M) "She was just an office girl sent to bring you in, not a field agent.  She just worked with reports.  And now look at what you've done."
(me) "Riiiiiiight...she dressed like that for clerical work."
[8:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Ahh that's right... She was born with polydactyly but they cut 'em off
And Olga? Pretty sure her ancestors villages were raided by Mongols at least a few times.
[9:00 AM] 
Polydactyly...as we all know...means she was born with parrot wings.
I was wondering if they just sprayed that tan on or she baked herself.
Looked good though
I can see what you mean with the Mongol bits
The fire at the end was ridiculous but very intense
Mrs. Silver was all crunched up on the couch
BOOM!!!!  WHOOSH!!!!
(me) "and they ALL died... The En- Oh! Still going."
BA-BOOOOM!!!!  CRASH! WHOOOOSH!!! 
(me) "and they ALL died... The En- Oh! Still going."
(Bond leaps into Hellfire inferno)
"And SO he died.  The En-" 
(Mrs. Silver) "Stop it!"
Basic Silver-Household riff for anything probably unsurvivable outside the movies BTW "The End..."
[11:44 AM]  Mr. Brown: 
A Quantum of Hydrogen Power
[12:29 PM] 
Was supposed to be Fuel Cell technology at the end.  Which is funny because they basically made it look like the entire hotel had to have hydrogen tanks and pipes snaked all through it.
And the fire started when an SUV crashed into the main plant, which was basically set up right at the bottom of the ramp to the parking area with no barriers.
Bolivian safe-construction regulations, no doubt.
[12:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Like the guys that walk back and forth across busy streets holding plates of glass
Just asking for it.
[12:36 PM] 
heh
There was a bit in "The Young Ones"... The house was to be demolished.  Cuts apropos of nothing to 2 pilots looking bored in a cockpit - "Wow.  I really hope we don't have a crash."



[9:58 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I saw a population projection that said that by 2100 the US will be majority Amish
[9:58 AM] 
The only survivors, eh?
[9:58 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Based on their insane birthrates
The Haredi/Hasidic communities in upstate NY are the same though, and their current populations are already higher than the Amish
Th country will be 40% Amish, 40% Haredi/Hasidic, 20% normal
[9:59 AM] 
**Ding!**
"Goodnight folks!"  (screen goes black)
LOL
20% "normal"
"Other" I could see :D
[10:00 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
[10:01 AM] 
I remember the big scare that "we" were going to be wiped out by Hispanics
80s for certain...not sure how long that lasted
[10:02 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
The United States has the second largest Haredi population, which has a growth rate on pace to double every 20 years. In 2000, there were 360,000 Haredi Jews in the US (7.2 per cent of the approximately 5 million Jews in the U.S.);
So 360,000,000 Haredi by 2200
Between 1992 and 2017, the Amish population increased by 149%,[8] while the U.S. population increased by 23%
that math is too hard for me
[10:07 AM] 
(animated chart)  "A single stray can produce 20 more in it's lifetime.  With half of them being female, in a mere 40 years..."
"So remember our catch/neuter/release program.  And don't feed them if they hang around on your porch."
[10:08 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Latkes laced with tranquilizers. Nicked ears.
[10:09 AM] 
The problem with this math is that it assumes nothing else is going to change
Like there's this vast preserve with unlimited resources for a population to expand
[10:10 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Right
Mostly just interesting
[10:11 AM] 
Last thing I read about well-educated orthodox Jews is that closet atheism is starting to explode.
Not so sure the Amish are going to stay stable either
Keeps getting harder to remain isolated and uneducated about the rest of the world
Does it count if people start dropping out of the demographic in droves and start mingling?
[10:12 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I think a big factor with both is that few people leave either lifestyle for various reasons
Just fun projections
[10:16 AM] 
anthropologist
And yes, they’re just fun projections



[10:16 AM] 
Hear what came out about that dip who got killed by the Sentinelese?
[10:17 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
no
[10:18 AM] 
Turned out he had associations with a fringe group whose mission seems to focus on bringing about the End Times
Since the Bible says that the whole world has gotten 'the message' before the Apocalypse starts, any group that hasn't heard about Jesus is holding back the end of the world.
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
ahhh
[10:23 AM] 
I'm not sure "I'm telling you all this so we all die" is a good soft-sell for conversion
Would be funny if he was honest and that's what happened.
[10:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
It would be funny if the Sentinelese already knew and there are guards that prevent the rest of the population from finding out... thus saving humanity.
[10:26 AM] 
I picture it like the end of Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth"
(ever see it?)
[10:29 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
No, but I've seen “I am Legend”, so assume it's similar
[10:31 AM] 
He actually develops a cure.  But hey!  Why shout it out to anyone when they finally track him down when you can call them all inhuman freaks and get speared to death?
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
