Wound up and hammered over embedded TXTs

b1-66er: The Space Kaptain has sent me a video of a windup toy that shuffles back and forth. I respond by telling him it reminds me of MC Hammer.

I go back to sleep giving me my...

2nd sleep dream

I decide to show the KTXT conversation to the birdhead, but with the addition of I'm going to filtering the audio flow and having it put a K on the screen everytime Hammer sez the letter.

My script isn't working right and it's putting @ on the videos instead, they kinda scroll up the video as the song progresses...

The bh is not happy AT ALL and starts going off about how poor the production values are.

Now, WHERE, have I seen that kind of movement before?

birdhead: 2 legit

Baby, It's You...

b1-66er: Burt Bacharach died.

THAT'S a good run.

Suttonhoo: Seriously good run, Pussycat

Once, on a roadtrip with my sister, she looped "say a little prayer for you" until I thought I would lose my mind. But that was the first song that popped into my head when I got the news

b1: That's a perfect Bacharach Moment.

Dino+!

b1-67er: Very surprising that was the first nevada dinosaur. 

66: How common are 'new' dinosaurs?

67: Common.  One a week. I've considered that as a retirement project. Discover a dinosaur.  Not easy but feasible.

You could do it without ever going in the field if you wanted too.

In the late 1800s they were hunting dinosaur bones so frantically that some of those bones have never been evaluated since

66: How would THAT work?

67: They are sitting around in crates at Harvard and in museums and stuffed in drawers.

I'd say maybe 1/4 of all dinosaurs are found by people digging through museum collections.

66: Crazy crazy.

Was there a dinosaur-discovery-and-bring-the-bones-in period of time?

67: That was about 1870s I think.  Como Bluffs by Medicine Bow was the height of it.  Some of the professors were sticking it to the native Americans on their completion. 

66: What do you mean by THAT?

67: They told the tribes that the other professors were digging up the burial grounds, hoping the natives would run off or kill the competing professors.

66: That's a harsh and rugged way to play the game.

67: No doubt

... Rise to the occasion ...

b1-66er: <Wombo>

b1-67er: Apparently penis head wants to live forever?

Zincy, you clown!

b1-66er: I bought a shirt for mom's services next week...

SUPER HELPFUL Amazon suggested "you might like this too."

What the hell do they know about me that I don't?

 

b1-67er: Maybe you can accessorize with it.  It is funeral colors

66er: Ooh NOW I WANNA BUY IT.

It you buy a pound of zinc, I wonder if it automatically puts you on some kind of Snowden Watch List.

Like it's essentially a government bobber to see if they can get a strike.

D4rw1n: I have a pound of zinc in my bedroom right now. Hard to accessorize with though, because it is broken up into penny-sized chunks and is stored in a janky old box

66: Okay, I'll bite.

Why?

D4: Because every time I received a penny, in change over the last 40 years, I threw it in a box in my bedroom. And it's been about a decade since I took the box to a CoinStar. Hence, I have well over a pound of zinc all in very small pieces.

And all stylishly clad in copper

If that puts me on a government list, I've got a lot of company

66: "Match, D4rw1n•"
