dbrouwer: it eats it for breakfast10:09 AM me: can phatcache be used on the blackmarket to pay for illegal surgeries?10:10 AM dbrouwer: no, but you can use it at Starbucks like a gift card.10:11 AM (Starbucks gift cards are used all the time for illegal surgeries, so yes now that I think about it)10:20 AMme: does my phatcache ever expire?10:21 AMdbrouwer: well, its printed on beef. do you have a mini-refrigerator wallet?

--------------------

11:04 AM dbrouwer: what if they changed the $10 bill so it had a Sarlac pit on it? (Rather Than Hamilton)

11:05 AM me: and the $20 gets an update so it has a picture of the front of a jamba juice

11:06 AM dbrouwer: $1 bills would just have a little mirror on them (making it both harder and easier to use them for blow at the same time)

11:07 AM me: and the $50 would have the cast of Friends on it

  but it would be ultra rare

11:08 AM so it would actually be worth $100

11:09 AM dbrouwer: the $100 bill would be blacklisted because it has a hammer and sickle on it

  and child porn

11:10 AM me: then there is the mythical $122 bill, that no one is sure if it exists or not

11:11 AM but people have been searching for it

 dbrouwer: but it has a twitter feed

  so it has to be real

THE ONLY THREE FOODS / USEFULNESS

5:21 AM 

 me: strugglecrisp

5:24 AM dbrouwer: thats a cereal from the 1930's, and you get it free when you go on unemployment in some former confederate states

5:25 AM me: i like that idea

 dbrouwer: they still have a silo full of it in Georgia

5:26 AM me: its non-perishable, so its not that big a deal

  someone will eat it eventually

  thats what georgia keeps telling itself

5:27 AM dbrouwer: Prospertarts

 me: thats like the opposite of strugglecrisp

5:28 AM dbrouwer: and then a product for working class people, just called "endsmeat"

 me: amazing

 dbrouwer: would be in betwix

5:29 AM if you work two jobs, you can get off strugglecrisp, and get endsmeat

5:30 AM and some day, you may just get prospertarts

 me: prospertarts are much coveted

  its like the rolls royce of foods

5:31 AM dbrouwer: immigrants hoard all their prospertarts for their children, so they never have to taste the stale strugglecrisp

5:32 AM but real americans use credit cards to buy prospertarts, when they should just stick to endsmeat

  i want this to be a book now

5:33 AM 

 dbrouwer: about the american class system for children

 me: its a compelling scenariodbrouwer: "the only three foods"

  abridged

5:34 AM dbrouwer: or it could be interactive cd-rom

  with free tribe called quest digital downloads

5:35 AM me: incrediblethe government is always trying to placate the poor people by offering them free tribe called quest download coupons in their boxes of strugglecrisp

  and they keep falling for it

  it works like a charmme: the cereal box will have this iconic depression photo on it http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAPlange.jpg me: but in cartoondorothea lange photo5:56 AMdbrouwer: exactly! me: but big goofy fonton top of that imageand like, mazes and fun stuff on the back5:57 AMthen there will be an adult version of struggle crisp, chock full of fiber6:13 AMallrightgood talk on socio-economically based foodsim outta here6:14 AMdbrouwer: see ya in the rain forest nightmares  ----------------
5:38 AM dbrouwer: do people use instant messaging for anything other than broken idea building?

  its 95% of my use

 me: aside from us? yes

  but for us, no

  thats our only use

THE SQUEEZE

Plenty else can go wrong, however. In the days of diving suits— the sort that were connected to the surface by long hoses— divers sometimes experienced a dreaded phenomenon known as "the squeeze." This occurred when the surface pumps failed, leading to a catastrophic loss of pressure in the suit. The air would leave the suit with such violence that the hapless diver would be, all too literally, sucked up into the helmet and hosepipe. When hauled to the surface, "All that is left in the suit are his bones and some rags of flesh," the biologist J.B.S. Haldane wrote in 1947, adding for the benefit of doubters, "This has happened."

STOKEDNESS

Getting stoked is as big a part of growing up as "living large" or "getting weirded out."
