Title: Google's done it again!
Post by: B E C K on Jun 05, 2011, 05:05:37 PM
They've officially creeped me out.  Really?  We're celebrating the 92nd birthday of Richard Scarry?  A man who died in 1994?  I find it creepy how much Google loves to celebrate the birthdays of dead people and gives them an age as if they're still alive.  Richard Scarry can't have a 92nd birthday if he died when he was 74.  Just like Martha Graham wasn't gonna live to be fuckin' 117.  At least just call it "Richard Scarry's Birthday".

You have to wish the dead happy birthday or they rise from the grave and drag you back down to hell with them.

Nonsense.  Richard Scarry wouldn't drag anyone to hell.  He'd have Postman Pig and Lowly Worm do it for him.

The Cat in the Hat and the Grinch would do that shit for him.  Dudes that like don't do their own dirty work.  Except for Shel Silverstein.  Sure, his work can induce nightmares when you're on a Sweettart-induced sugar high but it's not gonna bother dragging you to hell.

For some reason when I read Faye's post all I saw was Golgo 13.

That sounds like the name of a gay pr0n
Title: Re: Google's done it again!

Or a gay pedophile pr0n.

Or a Japanese 007.

No, it doesn't sound like that at all.

Which one?
Title: Re: Google's done it again!
Post by: B E C K on Jun 09, 2011, 12:22:31 AM
All of them.  Especially that "Japanese 007".  How far-fetched!
Title: Re: Google's done it again!

Well Japanese 007 is "Mr. Kiss-Kiss, Bang-Bang." Seriously...he is.

I like that google carries on your legacy long after you're dead.

When I'm gone I hope they keep celebrating my birthday well into the negative 100s.

Google only cares about ad revenue.

If a person could came back to life, wouldn't you just subtract the age they were dead from their age?  Same for time travelers or people in hybernation or who are cryogenically frozen.

I can agree with you on hibernation / cryogenics, but not on time travel.

You're not postponing anything when you time travel, you're merely displacing yourself in time. In cryogenics, you're slowing everything down to a crawl, so that makes sense.

Okay I'm born in 1978.  In 2012 I build a time machine and go to 2078.  Am I 34 or 100?  My body is clearly only aged 34 years.
Title: Re: Google's done it again!

You're 34. You didn't live those years, you skipped them. You don't get to cheat the Smuckers birthday list.

I don't know if the word "GOOGLE" made out of penises would fly with everybody.

Now this Les Paul thing is fucking cool.

If you were a US citizen, the IRS would consider you 100 and pick you up for owing back taxes.

Well, I thought we were just talking about physical age,

In all likelihood, you would have been deemed dead, and actually might be thought to be an illegal immigrant or some sort of spy or something of that nature.

Hey, I'm vulnerable to word association.  You post about sex all the time, you're Penis Man.  If Fiero posts about fries all the time, he's Potato Man.  That's how this works.

Yes, they have roads there. We were going south to Tuluum, I think. It sounds familiar, anyway, but perhaps I remember incorrectly.

Why rent  a car without a driver? they cost like 5 bucks the day plus a taco buffet

Did anyone else mess with the Muppet-doodle thing?  That red one at the end would eat the green one.  And the one with the glasses would flip them over his head.  Did any one of the others do any cool shit?  The doodle left before I could find out.
