IronTom: crypticsatellite: I guess it would be too much trouble to fast-forward through commercials.

Dude is in Vegas now.

Hitting the jackpot in DNA . It would be good to find something on broadcast TV or Netflix for the upcoming show,

Maybe the Syence channel!

Indeed. We should be approachable to the thronging masses who will descend upon our little thread.

VivianVivisect: There is such a thing as the science channel?

When they are not playing Wrestling shows.

Not used to having commercials on Tuesday night. Gonna set up to photograph the next Absenthe glass load, at least I wish I was doing that.

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:43:23 PM

Roger that.

I was going to suggest that you post your progress.

Why is it always just you two in these threads?

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:48:39 PM

Huh. Even when we go green, we don't get much traffic.

Of course, we're on the geek tab--a less traveled place. Less traveled, but perhaps higher quality travelers? Perhaps there are quantifiable genetic differences between geek tab dwellers and non-geek tab dwellers.

Just trying to tie in this episode to our daily lives.

IronTom		2012-06-12 09:49:33 PM

I just tossed a towel on my dog's head, like they did in the show. and , and, she shook it off, twice.

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:50:13 PM

NuttierThanEver: Why is it always just you two in these threads?

We're the old stalwarts. One of our number died a few months back and the other former regulars come and go as their schedules allow.

Does that answer your question?

IronTom		2012-06-12 09:50:22 PM

NuttierThanEver: Why is it always just you two in these threads?

It just looks that way, lots of times a bunch of other friends join in, maybe like you.

Oh hia, what's goin on in this thread?

NuttierThanEver		2012-06-12 09:53:47 PM

I dont understand why a guy like Wallenda would not use a safety line.

Didn't mean to sound snippy--I just reread my comment and realized that it might have come across that way even though I did not intend it to sound that way.

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:55:06 PM

WhyteRaven74: Oh hia, what's goin on in this thread?

Just hanging out as per usual.

Glad you showed up!

We're going to switch over to SyEnce Channel in a few minutes to watch "Radioactive Paradise."

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:56:31 PM

Man, they just stab those wires into the flies.

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 09:57:16 PM

Gonna go open another bottle of wine...

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 10:00:42 PM

No problem

Hoping they find Godzilla

After all he is tightrope walking over water

Just made Absenthe glass # 2, and took pictures. On the way.

I'm there already :)

IronTom: After all he is tightrope walking over water

There are a few high wire walkers, who will put up a wire in between two parts of a mountain and then BASE jump off the wire.

ecmoRandomNumbers		2012-06-12 10:07:14 PM

I get to the thread late and we go green.

By the way, why are we green?

IronTom		2012-06-12 10:08:12 PM

surprise surprise surprise

crypticsatellite		2012-06-12 10:08:34 PM

Sipping "Ménage à Trois" Californian red wine.

Because you got to the thread late.

/no idea

WhyteRaven74		2012-06-12 10:10:04 PM

It happens a few times a year.

That is fairly hardcore, I'd say.

Three grapes

Is this where we discuss getting that noxious di-hydrogen monoxide outlawed?

/it kills millions every year...
//i broke the cup holder off my computer

IronTom		2012-06-12 10:11:11 PM

Three happy grapes

IronTom		2012-06-12 10:11:49 PM

Aren't A-bombs awesome? Gotta see one go off in space.

WhyteRaven74		2012-06-12 10:12:06 PM

Even better what it's a slack wire and not a tightrope

/for anyone who caught the half time show at this year's Super Bowl, this is the same guy who was doing the whole crazy slack wire thing

urban.derelict		2012-06-12 10:12:35 PM

IronTom: Three grapes walk into a bar

THEY WERE SMASHED

IronTom		2012-06-12 10:12:42 PM

Dripping ice cold water on it

Very happy, indeed.

Dammit how did I quote myself?
I meant no problem in answer to crypticsatellite
And I meant I hope they find Godzilla under Bikin Atoll
