That does seem excessive. I can't even imagine what all of them would be.  Did you know that Iceland is rewriting their constitution via facebook, allowing the public to make suggestions and alterations?


Very progressive of them. It is amazing how far technology has come. I remember when people just listened to the radio for fun. There is a radio station that translates solar activity into sound and you can listen to the sun's music!


I didn't know that! I would like to listen to it. I have heard that you can hear storms on Jupiter on the radio though.


I would like to listen to that as well. One of the most popular radio acts in the 1930s was a ventriloquist-which understandably baffled critics!


That's funny! Speaking of the 1930s, there's a website where you can go to listen to old radio dramas.  Maybe you can hear the ventriloquist!


Oh that would be cool! Also I bet you could hear a lot of Bing Crosby-his recordings filled more than half of the radio time in 1948!


I like Bing Crosby, especially the movie White Christmas.  I wonder if they play his songs in Canadian in Canada.  Canada has a law where at least 40% of music on the radio must be in Canadian.


Oh yeah good call, great movie! Interesting law seems a bit extreme. Do you remember that song MMbop? An alt-rock chicago radio station had a Hanson song be the most recorded because the DJ didn't reveal the band!


No I don't remember it.  So, the song was good enough to be on the station but because it was by Hanson listeners wouldn't have paid any attention to it so the dj never said who it was by?


Exactly because Hanson isn't exactly alt-rock it is more Pop. I also like the actor bill murray. He voiced the human torch in the 1970's fantastic four radio show.


I like Bill Murray too. I never knew he did that.  Radio is so versatile!  You can listen to music, hear the news, and even learn a language.  There's a radio station in Finland that broadcasts the news in classical latin every week.


That would be fun to listen too. Latin is a very unique language! Amazing how far we have come from Radio to Facebook with 56 gender options and a marriage killer apparently!


So true! And we all stare at blue facebook pages without question all because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind.


Did you hear what happened with the legislator from Minnesota?


I hadn't until today. Allegations like that can sure change your career path. Not surprised no charges were filed though.


Yeah, if your own daughter accuses you of that then that means something, he must be guilty and if his not guilty people wont vote for him after that


However I have personally known a family where the daughter made similar allegations because she didn't like her parents telling her what she could and couldn't do and it sure made a huge mess. Situations like that really mess up a family though.


I agree, of course Jim Knoblach denied the accusations, he said she was trying to end his campaign, but she ended up ruining his reputation


True! Are you into social media like Facebook?


I am, I am a subscriber since the year 2011, what about you? do you  have Facebook


yes I have been since 2008 but I think I prefer instagram


I prefer Instagram as well, its  a lot more simpler than Facebook, but I guess Facebook is worth a lot more like $104 billion by now


Yeah and to think it was started by some Harvard college students.


Yeah along with Mark Zuckerberg was Eduardo Saverine and others, it was first intended for Harvard students and then it got expanded.


I didn't realize it got its name from the face book directories given to US university students.


Sometimes simple names are just better, did you hear about that Burger King promotion?


Yeah that's crazy. I bet that could cause quite a stir among Facebook friends and all over a free whopper. :)


Its not a harmless promotion, but who cares its a free whopper lol


Yeah, did you know Facebook makes most if its money from ads that appear onscreen?


I didnt but it makes sense, they do make a lot of money out of advertisements- do you know why Facebook is primarily blue?


Yes because Zuckerberg suffers from red-green colorblindness. I didn't even know there was such a thing.


Yeah, I though it was because of marketing strategy or something like that, well blue is a great color


Did you ever use Myspace? They turned down an offer to buy facebook back in 2005.


I did, I had a Myspace account around that time, I bet they are regretting that decision now.


Not much, do you? I get so tired of hearing about Republicans and Democrats fighting.


I do just to stay informed. The use of red and blue actually only became consistent in use in 2000.


I heard of that, and think it's ironic because of the colors from the Civil War. Did you know that Bill Murray was also in radio shows besides being a movie actor?


I did not, but I guess his comic delivery carries over from film to radio pretty well. He probably didn't get a lot of play on Canadian radio, though; laws there require that at least 40% of the music played be Canadian, and I bet that carries over to shows, too.


I guess it's good to keep it local! Did you know that in the thirties the most popular radio act was one with a ventriloquist! Mind baffling!


That seems illogical, but people do like to listen to some odd things on the radio. For example, there's a weekly Finnish news program that has been conducted entirely in Latin since 1989.


Very interesting! Back when Bing Crosby was in his heyday in 48, I hear his songs accounted for over half of all music played!


Sounds like he dominated the airwaves back then. And to think that in WWII there were soldiers making simple radios using razorblades and pencils just a few years earlier.


Ah yes, foxhole radios...those are really cool! I heard that there was once a radio station who played a Hanson song without revealing the band name, and it became really popular. Surprising because Hanson is usually only liked by preteen girls.


I guess people just like what they like when there aren't labels attached! speaking of liking things, did you know that facebook's "like" button is illegal in a German state? Seems a bit odd.


That is very strange, I didn't think Germany was so strict. I think it's very fascinating how radio waves work.


Yes, it's kind of crazy to think that sounds is translated into electromagnetic waves that we can't hear and then translated back into sound.


Do you like to use FaceBook, much? It's crazy how much it's worth today. I heard that they almost called the like button the awesome button.


Not much, actually. "Awesome" seems like hyperbole you'd see in advertising, which is actually where most of its revenue comes from.


Was it Facebook that used to have a dislike button also like YouTube does? I think the stopped using it.


I think people would use Facebook less if it became an even more hostile environment than it already is and could dislike other people's opinions with the click of a button haha. At least some people use it for political good; people in Iceland can make suggestions for alterations to their constitution on Facebook.


I guess we'll see soon if Iceland has a good idea or not! Facebook already has a bad enough reputation for being mentioned in many divorce filings.


I guess that would make sense given the amount of drama people can cause so easily! Even though the company might be valued at $104 billion, there's still got to be a couple hundred million that are padding divorce lawyers' pockets now that they wouldn't have other wise haha.


I just recently read about how Facebook actually started out for Harvard students only! Then they included membership from other ivy league schools and then the public. Isn't that funny?


I remember being a freshman in college and people not being able to find their friends whose schools hadn't been added yet...those were the days before it became a playground for fake news and baby pictures. Anyway, nice chatting!


Hi. Do you like style? I am still waiting for some animals to adopt clothing lol!


Well, I would not hold your breath, I do not think animals like wearing clothes


Haha nope they don't. The pilgrims wore clothing full of color and wore black on special occasions.


Its funny because all of the images in the history books show them wearing black pretty much all the time.


Yes they do. Rip Curl is able to make clothes in North Korea somehow. must be good for Kim Jong UN's economy!


I want to go shopping in Alabama.  They have a store there that only sells lost clothing from airports!


Whoa that would be fun to browse through. I wonder if they have any Apple clothing?


I don't think it did that well.  There were a lot of bad fashion ideas in the 1980s


Yes which explains why they didn't stick around! I like shirts because they are so versatile. I don't like wearing a neck tie because it's too tight around my neck.


I prefer button down shirts.  I generally wear them every day


Yes they are comfortable. A collared shirt with sleeves and cuffs is what is typically called a shirt in Britain.


I also like wearing polo shirts, even though I have never played the sport


Yes me too. polo shirts were actually invented by a tennis player! Have you played tennis?


Not well.  Maybe we should all dress like Hawaii office attire.  An aloha shirt is much more fun than a suit and tie


I would be up for that! At Billy May's funeral, the pallbearers wore blue shirts and khaki pants.


Oh the OxyClean guy?  Yeah that was his standard infomercial uniform


Kind of a cool way to honor him. In China gangs used to layer as many shirts as possible and pop the collars!


That is a stupid fashion trend.  I am sure I have worn something equally dumb over the years


Yes me too! I wonder if the Indonesian president had an interesting fashion wardrobe? He came out with 3 pop albums and most pop stars dress quite flashy. Well thanks for chatting this morning.


I am not even sure what indoesian fashion trends are.  I imagine a bit different than western trends


Yes I bet they are. I also bet the fashion trend for Banana in Zimbabwe was eclectic too! Well thanks again for chatting, have a good one!


Hi there, looking forward to chat with You ! ;)


Hi, did you hear that one of Paul Manfort's accountants said she went along with falsifying tax records because of fear.


ok no.... how does that work ? how do You falsifying tax records because of fear ?


She didn't want to confront a longtime client and tell the client her boss was a liar


Lots of money involved it seems. She had saved Manafort $400,000 in taxes


But she falsified the records... didn't they got caught ?


Well, Manafort is fighting bank and tax fraud charges saying he failed to pay taxes on millions of dollars he made from his work for a Russia-friendly Ukranian political party


...so he has a case in court... is that recent news ? I wonder if he will be punished... like... financially...


Sounds recent.  Manafort could not afford his taxes so he wanted to report a loan from an entity in Cyprus


holy crap... I wonder if they come up with ideas like that by themselves or do they have like trained accountants to advise moves like that...


Probably had someone tell him that.  Laporta said she didn't believe such a loan existed


That's what I thought... people giving that kind of advises have knowledge that could make a regular person a millionaire within a week probably... ;)


Probably with enough crookedness they can do that.  Did you know that the top three richest presidents have been jfk, washington, and jefferson?


I've heard it somewhere... that was before they were elected a presidents right ? I don't know what professions they had...


I don't know, but probably Washington got money from all his quests for the king of England


What "quests" were those ? Sorry I'm from Europe...


I just mean when he led the British as a colonel in the British army


oh ok, did You know that pilgrim clothing was full of color. they only wore black for special occasions ?


that is interesting.   There is a store in alabama that only sells clothes and items found in unclaimed baggage at airports


lol...I wonder what are they doing when they find Gucci bag :)


I guess they make out pretty good!  In China during the cultural revolution, gang fashion included laying as many shirts you could while popping the collars.


It's crazy times when it comes to fashion... back in my days nobody cared that much about it...


Official business attire in hawaii is the aloha shirt not a suit and tie.  I think that i'd like that


Yes, mainly the President and actions taken by Congress.  Lately, I was surprised to know that Trump wasn't one of the top 3 richest presidents.


Yeah considering he has so much money that is surprising. Imagine how wealthy JFK, Washington and Jefferson must have been


Yeah, obviously adjusted for inflation... Also, the President's guest house is larger than the White House?  Maybe Trump should accept pay.


they must get a lot of guests. And then you have presidents who are music stars


I can't see many of them being musically inclined.


there is a store in alabama that sells stuff that is found in unclaimed baggage in airports.


I wonder if I have anything there.  More like Atlanta... Maybe a polo shirt or two...


Yes, it's like IZods with the gator named after tennis player Rene Lacoste.  I think Hawaii has the best shirt policy with aloha shirts.


I agree, I like that they do not care for a suit and tie.


I thought button down collars and ties were going to go away by now... Business casual on Fridays is all that happened...


I know, too bad they are not that comfortable. Even chinese gangs favored polos and flipped the collars to look tough.


I think that's more preppy than tough.  I think the Presidents and politicians should lighten up and start wearing polos or tie-dyed t-shirts. I can see the president of Indonesia doing that...


Yeah I agree. Even Apple had a clothing line a long time ago.


I thought they still did... I'd rather buy clothes from them than Rip Curl from N. Korea


Yeah I guess, so strange they seem so isolated. Do you know how fashionistas can tell if your clothing need to get tailored?


Something about gaps in the collar.  I think its interesting that the English have a more formal definition for a "shirt."  It must have a collar so t-shirts are out.


Yeah that. Do you know the old system of presidential elections in the 1800's?


Yeah, can you imagine Trump and Hillary working together?  I can see how that only lasted to 1805.


Oh my so true. It was nice chatting with you.


Hey there what are your thoughts on Elton John?


Elton John? Is that guy still alive? I thought that he died or something.


Oh no he's alive. He was born in 1947 actually. He sold over 300 million records to. He's one of the best-selling music artists around


I guess he deserves to stay alive then, seeing as how he sold that many albums.


Yeah I hope he never dies haha. Even his single Candle in the Wind sold over 33 million copies around the world. Do you like any of his songs?


I've heard some of his songs. He's good. He seems to have a generous heart.


Yeah I think so. I can't believe that Can You Feel the Love Tonight was almost cut out of the Lion King movie. And that song won an Oscar


Yeah, the people at Disney sometimes don't understand Sir Elton. The man is a genius, and genius is really smart.


Oh I totally agree with you! I love almost all of his songs. Also he failed an ad in a talent search apparently. Obviously that did not handicap his career haha


He blazed a trail for many to follow, including that Ed Sheeran fellow. The guy is a ginger, but he sings good too.


I used to, but then I got old, and the music got too loud.


I went to Lollapalooza last year. I loved it it was awesome. Some bands tour so much. Like Linkin Park played 320 concerts in one year


Linkin Park found a cure for sleep. They stayed awake and played continuously.


Haha good point. I don't think I could do that many concerts though. Also the Ramones must have discovered that too. They played 2000 concerts in 20 years


The Ramones are now mummies, preserved for resurrection when their music makes a comeback.


Haha I like the way you think! What do you think about Creed? I guess they got sued because their concerts were so crappy


Creed should change its name to Crappy. That would help avoid lawsuits. No false advertising.


Haha you should have a comedy show. What are your thoughts on Pink Floyd? They did a concert in an ancient roman Amphitheatre, to no audience for some reason


Floyd wanted to avoid lawsuits. No audience, no suits.


Haha that's true. I just hope that they recorded it so that I can see it haha. Well watch out for creed don't ever go to their concert because it is horrible haha


HI do you know many facts about the Earth?


I have learned some interesting ones!! Do you think the earth will be helium-free by the end of the 21st century?


I hope not. What will we put in balloons?  lol  Earth was formed over 4.5 billion years ago.


True, Very sad that more than 80% of the earth's natural forest have been destroyed!


That is sad seeing how only 29 percent of Earth's surface consists of continents and islands.


Did you know when the earth was formed the day was 5.5 hours long.


I didn't.  I would have slept for almost 2 days straight then!


lol, That's funny!! I know we need our sleep!! Not enough time to get everything done!!


If Earth's history was viewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds!


Oh my, that's interesting! Do you like cars? Did you hear of the man who bought a house in NY with a barn. The barn was full of classic cars!!


I didn't hear about that.  He hhit the jackpot.  Have you heard of those flame throwing cars they have in South Africa to prevent car jackings?  Yikes!


Scary isn't it. They must have a lot of problems with carjacking!! I would like to see how that works on the car!


I bet it's crazy.  Do you know when McDonalds added drive-thrus?


Was it in 1975, for the soldiers that were wearing fatigues?


You got it!  The trunks of cars are called that because in the old days of cars people used to carry wooden trunks on the back of them!


Makes sense!! Have you seen that little arrow next to the pump symbol on the dash that tells you which side of the car the gas cap is?


So you'll know which side to put gas in. How do you feel about self-driving cars?


I'm not sure what to think of them yet.  I'll stick to cadillacs for now, which by the way was named after the French Explorer Antoine de la mothe Cadillac.  I've had a good time chatting.  Let me know about those self driving cars?


I'm not sure either. That aggressive mode is a little scary!! Good chat


hi how are you? do you like this planet of ours?


I do like Earth. Did you know that Earth is going to be helium-free by the end of the century?


that would be a tragedy for every birthday party on the planet. we must do something, but what?


There will still be helium I think. Just not in the atmosphere. Maybe they can create helium


I figure that a fusion plant could do that. probably require serious energy.


I heard that 80% of the Earth's forests have been taken down. What are we doing?


We are taking the lumber and clearing space for people to live. soon there will be nothing left. tragic.


Did you know that the UN appointed ambassadors just in case we meet aliens?


I guess that is a really important job. what does that guy do all day? How can i get that job?


Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Do you enjoy reading?


I love to read. i spend most of my days reading. You?


I don't really read anymore. Did you know there was a moral panic in the 18th century because people were reading novels?


Yes, they loved poetry. they thought that poetry was pure. novels had all sorts of terrible influence.


I didn't know that. I heard CS Lewis and Tolkien used to read terrible poetry to each other


Those guys were great authors and loved language. i would buy a ticket to that contest.


The fastest reader was a woman named Anne Jones. 4,700 words per minute. But what's her reading comprehension?


Yeah, and her retention? give her a test a week later and see what she remembers.


No, I'm not. i dont have a car right now. i do like cars though.


I'm not either, but I play racing games. Jann Mardenborough became a professional racer by playing Gran Turismo


I know that we have destroyed more than 80% of the forests in it


Yes sadly. Do you know how long the days were when earth was formed?


Yes they were only 5.5 hours long, that is way too short


I know. Do you believe in extraterrestrials?


Somewhat but it seems the guys at UN are convinced that they exist


Yes and that is why they appointed an ambassador to them


Yes. Apparently we will be helium free by the end of the century


Yes no more funny voices and fun balloons for us


Yeah too bad. Do you know what we represent if the history of the world were 24 hours?


Yes we are only 1 minute and 17 seconds and yet have done so much to the earth


I love cars. Do you know who invented the drive thru?


Yes the soldiers were not allowed out of the cars in their fatigues so they accommodated them on that


Yes that was nice for the soldiers but also good for them for business too


True. Do you know why the trunk of the car is called that?


Yes the old cars used to have wooden trunks so that stuck around


Yes. Do you know how cadillac got its name?


Yes after the founder of detroit, de la Mothe Cadillac. It was nice chatting with you


Fine, thanks for asking.  As a matter of fact, I do like golf.  Do you play?


Yes, I live on a golf course. I know how they use a lot of water!


Yes, they do.The average American golf course uses 312,000 gallons of water per day.


Yeah, I hear it uses 4,000,000 gallons per day.


Unreal, Didn't know Babe Ruth was once most famous golfer.


Yes, apperently was once America's most famous golfer, in fact.


Great to have in your contract during film production.


Like Samuel L. Jackson does?  He really loves golf to put it in his film contracts.Lol


It can get addicting, But, you have to play alot to stay on your game!


That's so true.  I read somewhere that golf courses in America make up more land space than Delaware and Rhode Island combined.


Yes, I am surprised there aren't a few more small states added. Golf can be good exercise if your walking.


On a different note, do you watch any television?


I use to, I am more on the internet now.


That's cool.  Do you know the current Library of Alexandria has a copy of the internet, in case it burns down?


I saw that, Lets hope it doesn't, lol we all wouldn't know what to do!


Lol, talk about being lost.  Do you realize that only 7% of people read the full terms when buying a product or service on the internet?


I believe that, they make them so long and hard to read. Good to know Mt. Everest has cell service. Great chat!!


I wish I had cell service as good as Mt. Everest!  Mine sucks.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you, I'm heading out to the movies with my kids, I'll talk to you later, friend.


I havent been tracking golf, it would be an entertaining match for sure, I wouldnt pay more than $20 to watch it though


I've paid to watch it, but at a the Congressional course. Pretty fun time when the drinks are included.


Well if drinks are included then I guess I would pay more, golf sure moves a lot of money.


Yeah, it's a fun time. But the amount of money some of these people take home is amazing.


it is, and the winner be it Phil or Woods, will take home the sum of 9 million dolars!!! for one game!!! I wonder how much the loser gets.


I know, it is a crazy amount of money for someone to make!


It is, and all that for a match, its surprising how much water golf courses use!


I was unaware that the military operates 234 golf courses, did you know that?


I did not know that! I guess golf is more popular than what I thought.


I wonder if there are a lot of good players in the military?


There must be, I wonder if they are allow to play in pro tournaments though, Babe Ruth was a famous golfer as well


I've heard that, Babe Ruth was a great player at baseball.


He was skilled not only for baseball it seems, Samuel L Jackson is also a golf fan.


I just watched a movie by Samuel L Jackson, "UnBreakable," I want to see the sequel.


That movie was great, had two of my favorite actors when is the sequel coming out?


I think it is out, it is called "Glass," I'm going to see it this weekend.


I will google that movie for sure, Im really interested in watching it as well, theres a golf course in Dubai that needs 4000000 gallons of water per day to work


Dubai is crazy, I'm not surprised that they have a course that needs that much water.


yeah like 10 times more than a normal filed in America, that is a lot of water.


Yeah, that's crazy, duba is fun. Antarctica has a disc golf course also.


It does? I wonder what is the maintanence on that golf course.


Yes, I am entertained by magic. I especially enjoyed the movie with Hugh Jackman about magician, though I forget what it was called. Do you?


Oh that's right! Have you seen the movie? I really enjoyed that movie, I have not found a TV series that captures my attention quite like that movie but really surprised to find that most deals on "Shark Tank" are never followed through.


I did watch and enjoy the movie, The Prestige. Christian Bale made a deal with his brother, and Hugh Jackman made a deal with himself. But they both went through with their deals, unlike Shark Tank. I loved the mix of science and mysticism, not unlike many of the early 20th century magicians.


Those are very good comparisons. I also like that mix of science and mysticism as well. I am absolutely terrified of horror films though, I can not manage to watch any horror films.


I can watch, but I get bored by the predictability of many modern horror movies. I prefer classic horror films, like Bambi, which Steven King claims to be the first horror film he remembers watching.


Bambi is considered a horror film in King's eyes? Well then, I think I may be able to stomach horror films after all. However, I did not know that Christopher Nolan meant for inception to be a horror film.


That IS interesting, or should I say, that WAS interesting, or maybe that WILL BE interesting. In any event, it has been said that watching a horror movie can burn up more than 180 calories. And a bad horror movie can help you lose your lunch.


Oh my! I wonder if that diet trend will ever make it big like I see some of these other diets. But horror films also overlap with fantasy, supernatural fiction, and thriller genres so ET was originally scripted as a horror movie.


Really? Maybe the original script had some heavy breathing on the telephone call ET made when he phoned home. I was mesmerized by ET. Some say watching a horror movie will help you enjoy Art more.


Oh I forgot about that! I do enjoy art but am also fascinated by the solar system and earth. Did you know Earth is the densest planet in the solar system and also the largest of the four planets?


AND politicians are the densest matter on earth, sworn to turn politics in a horror production. And in 2010, the UN appointed an ambassador to extraterrestrials, in preparation for ET's next phone call. It all comes together...


lol, now that is a genius observation! I think you'd be a great writer for SNL's "weekend update" which is the longest running television show.


I'll only accept a position on SNL if you promise to be my co-writer!  Like the earth is slowly losing it's helium, all my hot air would escape without your gravitas.


You're extremely witty! Haha, now that second line sounds like something I would hear from Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.


We shared a slide rule and pocket protector once upon a time. But what is time? If earth's history was condensed to one day, humans would represent only a little over a single minute, but a good joke will last forever!


Lol, you could fit all the planets in between earth and the moon and still have room left to spare.


The space between the planets is inhabited by radio waves carrying reruns of the 750 episodes of that immortal series, "Pokemon."


That beats the length of Home Simpson episodes which was a little over 400 episodes


Nice, and only one of those episodes failed to include any appearance or mention of Bart.  And the rest, is as they say, history. Chow my friend.


hey my friend do you like animals? apparently there are 20 quintillion animals on earth right now


ya I don't know how many 0's that is haha, but yes I guess domesitcated animals are more likely to develop white patches on their foreheads for some reason


Awesome! I heard there is a lawyer in Switzerland that represents animals in court, awesome!


wow thats interesting, I do love animals I should have become a zoologist!


Right! I love animals more than humans haha....animals have a dominant paw just like humans have a dominant hand! I didn't know that.


haha I agree with that, oh I didn't know that, also didn't know that hiccups are a leftover reflex from evolution back when animals had both lungs and gills haha


What! I didn't know that, kinda creepy!  I was reading on Reddit that there are some animals considered biologically immortal, interesting!


wow thats interesting, do you use reddit at all? I use that site almost every day


Yeah, I use it a lot. I heard the co founder of Reddit has a cat named Karma, awe!


haha I like that, ya reddit is huge, in just one year they had 150 million submissions and over a billion comments


Wow! That's insane, I knew Reddit was big but that's huge!


ya, it's also interesting that Peter Thiel, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto were some of the initial investors


Really? Wow, cool! I guess Reddit is ranked as the 3rd most visited site in the U.S....not surprising!


no not surprising at all, funny they have polls but only half a percent of people actually particiapte apparently


Crazy! People don't like to vote for anything lol. I read a lot of great stuff on Reddit about Football, and animals, pretty much anything!


ya I love the rarepuppers subreddit haha, and ya there is also a free online magazine that uses reddit as a source called The Redditor


Oh, cool! I didn't know that. And Reddit has been around since 05....I didn't know that!


ya thats a long time, funny how the first post on reddit was about how it was about to start going downhill, thats reddit for you haha


True! I was reading on Reddit that 14 of the 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams! That's nuts!


yup that is crazy! Also crazy is the top scoring football game ever: 222-0, talk about domination!


WoW! I haven't heard about that. Ya know Snoop Dogg wrote the fight song for his son's HS Football team! Love it! It has been great chatting!!!


thanks its been fun, watch out for the patriots player though, he's never fumbled the ball!


Hello there what do you think of reddit.  Lot of people use it, like 542 million visitors.


I use it from time to time to get news and laugh at stuff.


It was actually founded by a couple of roommates named Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian around 2005 I believe.


In which country it is the  most popular ?


I would say the United States because around 60% of the userbase come from there.


Sure I read it for a couple of TV shows I watch, but I don't ever vote on it.  Less than 1% actually do lol.


Nor do I , don't post or vote. How much the company is valued ?


Good question, I believe it is around 2 billion now, not bad for a couple of roommates.  What do you read on it?


I read news, and video games new, I like the fact it an aggregator and I don't have to visit 10 websites.


Yes that is kind of neat, I read about football too, the US version.  There are so many sports called football one can get confused.


I don't follow any of them, I think Australian football is played on a non-rectangular field.


Yeah I believe it is called Australian rules football.  Kind of looks like rugby to me but what do I know.


So what kind of football do you follow ?


My favorite is college and I like the NFL too.  Times have changed since the 1960s when bowlers made more than pro football players thats for sure.


Things have changed indeed, 14 of the 25 largest stadiums belong to college football teams.


That is interesting, in the university of Iowa


How big is the stadium at the university of Iowa ?


Sorry hit the enter key on accident.  I actually dont know that but they painted their visitors locker room pink.  Haha!


That is funny. Football is a big business in the US in Texas, there is a stadium for a high school football team that cost 60$ million to build.


Wow that is a lot and that is just highschool.  Gridiron football is super popular in the US so it makes sense.


It is strange that other kinds of football are not as popular.


Yes I guess not enough tackling or hitting, I don't know.  Thanks for the chat!


Hey how are you, you ever have a special stuffed animal?


Did your father take it to work for 18 years?


Pat Holmes did, that's crazy he did it for so long, I don't think I'd remember it each day.


Nor, would most men. He loved his daughter.


Love them,  marine animals are my favorites.


Oh wow, did you know there are over 20 quintilllion animals on earth? How do they count them all lol?


How do they also klnow the animals with white patches are domesticated?


I'm not sure, I wonder if it's because they're bred like that? Or it just kind of happened? Maybe from all the scratches.


I am wanting to also know why the loch ness monster is a protected species.


Haha, so well protected can never see ole Nessy! I wonder how that myth started.


LOL, I am thinking the that Big Foot and Loch ness monster are part of extremely endangered species act


That's so funny, they could be making laws to benefit society but they're doing this. I'm sure Big Foot and Nessy are happy though! Lol.


Did you know Germany was the first country to give animals constitutional rights, now thats crazy! We will be soon giving mythicalcreatures rights also.


That is pretty cool, Germany was ahead of their times. Do you ever go to Reddit?


Yep, I am guilty. I tend to vote more on there. I like seeing everyones opinions.


I know, I do a lot of upvotes and downvotes, surprised that there are so many lurkers on that site, only .53% of people vote.


I heard the very first comment was a complaint!  Can you imagine being the sour pants saying it was heading down hill, heck it just started.


Haha, that's crazy. Anyways, great chatting with you! Take care and have a great night!


I do it a mass medium for advertising, entertainment, and news


I do. Their crew is really nice. They sent flowers to the south park guys after airing the family guy episode


Seems like they get along with each other. There is an episode of the Simpsons in which Bart doesnt appear or is mentioned at all


Its not surprising for a main character. I wonder what that episode is


I have no idea, its a rare episode there is only one. Did you ever watch Thomas the Tank Engine?


I did as a kid. I heard a lot of stars did some video acting for the character


Yeah the show has great narrators big names like Ringo Starr, George Carlin and also Alec Baldwin


Thats really cool. Amazing they werent just cameo parts either. 52 episodes each


The show required a lot of hard work that is a sure thing, did you also like Pokemon? many people do


Yeah I did watch that as a child as well. Crazy how long the show has gone on


Yeah its been more than 16 years straight, over 750 episodes so its been a long time


I do like horror films, did you know Stephen King was terrified of Bambi growing up


I wonder if thats where he draws in inspiration from


That could be his secret, still not a horror movie to me, poor bambi


If you need an "easy" way to lose weight, Watching horror film can help


I heard you can burn 180 calories per movie so that's a great way to lose weight I agree.


I wonder how they got away with hiding the fact they were filming a Horror from Danny


anyway its been great chatting with you friend.


Yeah, he did follow the creepy twin girls. You as well! have a good day!


Hello!  I do like animals and have a pet dog.  What about you?


I also have a dog!  Yes I love animals,  did you know that the loch ness monster is a protected species?


Wow!  I wonder what lengths Germany would go if "Nessie" was in that country since they actually gave legally guaranteed rights to animals.


I can't believe there in 20 quintillion animals!  How many zeroes is in quintillion?  I never even heard of that word lol.


That is crazy and obviously means a lot of 0s after that 20.  I bet there is a subreddit for about every species though.


Probably!  Only like half of the people on reddit actually vote!


Maybe if the elections were held on Reddit we would have better turnout?


Haha right!  Its funny that the first comment on reddit was a complaint!


Sounds about right!  At least it isn't all negative.  There is a subredit that actually summarizes the nicest things done on Reddit.


That's amazing!  It is good to hear nice things!  There is so much negative stuff online/social media.


I agree, but it's always nice when there is something heartwarming.  Like there is a dad who still takes a stuffed turtle to work that his daughter gave him.


Right!  i recently read about that,  really sweet!


I guess she was two and they thought it was a whale, but it 's still a great story.


I am a big fan.  I didn't get to watch all of the playoffs, but took in as much as I could this past weekend.  What about you?


No I hardly watch football,  unless its the niners or the super bowl.  I dont even know who is in the playoffs lol do you?


It's a little easier now because we are just down to four teams and both are the top seeds.  New Orleans and the LA Rams for the NFC; Kansas City and New England in the AFC.  Winner plays in the Super Bowl!


Oh ok awesome!  Did you know Benjarvus green ellis never fumbled in his nfl career?


That is an impressive achievement!  There aren't many that can claim that, but I do believe he is retired from the NFL now.


Hi There ! Looking forward to chat with You ! ;)


You too. Do you watch SNL? I heard Weekend Update was on the first show and is their longest running skit.


I used to did. Pretty funny but it got predictable ;)


I don't watch network TV anymore. I cut the cable. I don't even stream wifi. I just use my phone at the library to download shows off Prime and then watch them at home. So I have no cable, dish, or wifi bill. Do you watch the Simpsons? Homer has had 188 jobs since it started.


I cut the cable too and phone ( I use magicjack ) I just pay for the internet. I watched some episodes but I wasn't devoted fan. That's a lot of jobs ;) I don't remember him being rich tho ;) lol


I don't watch it either. I downloaded some new episodes of SNL from YouTube that were sometimes funny but my wife said the shows were stupid, not funny, and got mad whenever I watched it so I stopped. I love to read though. I like Stephen King, I heard he published over 58 novels.


I love Stephen King... ever since I've read "The Stand" I think he is a genius with beautiful imagination for creepy stuff ;) what's Your favorite book ?


Actually I read "The Stand" in college and that is still my favorite to this day. I can't believe he got over 60 rejection notices before his first short story was published. Did you know before becoming a writer he was a high school English teacher?


No I never knew that... I'm sure he was good at it. it... it.. I live "IT" as well ;)


Wow, you like the stuff I do. My first horror movie was "Carrie." It was rated R but I snuck in cause I was under 18. The last scene where the hand sticks out made me jump out of my seat and scream. That is my favorite film adaptation of his. He wrote so many books that he created the pen name Bachmann because he didn't want them to know he also wrote those.


that's so cool ;) did You see the new movie IT ? Did You like it ?


No, I don't go to movies anymore. I have a lot of hobbies. Did you see it in the theater? Any scene make you really scared? It's funny how King calls his dog "Thing of Evil."


I did went to theater ( and I never go) but "IT" has a special place in my heart ;) this kind of nostalgic feeling as I was watching this movie when I was a young boy many times :) and I love the first George scene ;) -  I never knew he is a dog person ;)


King was almost killed when he was walking along the road near his home. A guy driving his car turned back behind himself to do something with his dog and ran off the road into King. Ironically that guy died a few years later. I forget how. Maybe a heart attack.


You just don't mess with Mr. King.   ...and his dog ;) bad things will happen to You if You will ;) lol


Do you like the X-Men movies? I heard Patrick Stewart teaches drama classes in the UK.


I love the comic books and the movies too yes ;) Mr. Stewart is an amazing actor and I'm happy to hear he shares his genius with the young generation of actors... there is still hope ;)


Oh, about King again. I just learned he has sold more than 350 million copies of his books. That's larger than the population of the US. Did  you watch Stewart on Star Trek?


The old tv show You mean ? Was that "Generations" ? I'm not sure about the name but it was my favorite ST ;)  the new ST is good too tho ;)


I can't remember the name of the one he was on. But that is the favorite version of Star Trek of the new ones they made. I grew up watching the original. "Dammit Kirk, I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer" is one of my favorite lines as well as "Beam me up Scotty."


lol ;) I'm totally with You on that one ! ;) Watch the new one "Discovery" it's really good ! Hey thx for a great chat !


He really does! I think they just put a new movie on Netflix, it was pretty good. He apparently played in a band at one point.


That he was terrified of it as a child? Bambi was a little traumatizing! Lol.


The classic story of his father going out for cigarettes and never coming back. Pretty sad.


Just as well, if he was there during bambi he might not have turned out the way he did.


That's true. I'm sure all the events in his life lead him up to being as creative and successful as he is!


Yep I think so being as it happened at 4 years old!


His books are all connected in some way. I think that's really cool!


Really neat.  Ronald McDonald was an inspiration!


Ronald Mcdonald would be pretty scary if you met him alone in a dark room!


Yes for sure!  Did you see the movie It?


Yes! I watched the old one as a child and loved the new one as well! It was really done great, and Skarsgard did a good job as Pennywise! Have you seen it?


Really looked like Ronald McDonald to me...Yea creepy movie!


For sure! What's your favorite Stephen King movie?


Probably 'It", maybe because it is the most recent


Yeah, I think that's one of my favorites too! I can't wait until they come out with part two of it!


I didn't know that until now! He went by Richard Bachman. I wonder why?


Im going to have to google it later.  Take care good chat!


I have an article on North Korea, what about you?


Mass Games. surprised 100000 people all worked together for it


I know! 100,000 people doing something together. He must have some hold on them.


like being supreme leader. but hey they set a new world record for largest gymnastic display


I wonder what happens if they don't want to participate?


they never participate in anything again, life included


Oh my gosh. I see this bit.."choreographed as it may have been, it was a stunning display of fervor that evoked chilling reminders of the mass rallies of the Third Reich


was literally re-reading that part, how scary to be there and see what looks like the rise of nazism again.


It just gives me chills. I wouldn't want to go to North Korea. Are Americans even allowed to go there?


we do have people go there. madeleine albright went to the previous mass games.


Trump is going too. I meant regular citizens.


speaking of presidents, did you see the first president of zimbabwe was called president banana. how odd, i wonder why


That is weird! The president of indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office


i was thinking about if trump did that it would be a huge record size album, golden with huge block letters of trump on the front


You are absolutely right! And he loves how North Korea is managed.


i wonder if babies would spontaneously start dancing to the indonesian president's albums


i know riight, i havent spent alot of times around babies so i would like to actually see them just start dancing out of the blue, like little crazy people


That would be fun! did you see the price for tickets to that Mass game? $115 to 915


I don't have that much to pay to go! Tv For me!


i wont even catch it there either, i might be lucky and see a stream of it online though


i dont even own a tv. only thing close i have is this laptop. i havent watched tv since mid 90s


we live way out in the country. once the kids left, we went to laptops too. I love it. obviously you do too!


im way out there too. 45 mins from the nearest town. its great, well have a good holiday thanks for the conversation


Hey how are you, you a big Stephen King fan by chance?


I love Stephen King, his horror genre keeps me on my toes, you?


Me too, he's such a good writer, always guessing. Is the show Castle Rock based off his books?


I have never heard of that one, I will have to check that out. I like the shining, the mist, and pet semetary as my favorites. Also it!


For sure, the ending of The Mist movie was so crazy, Stephen King said he wish he would have thought of it when he wrote the book.


SO crazy! I remember thinking no way, there is no way! lol! Do you watch much television?


I do , mainly on netflix and amazon though.


Me too, netflix. Family guy once did an episode on stephen king


What was that episode all about? I bet it was pretty funny right?


I think it was his stories using family guy characters and then maybe one story about stephen kings life. It was interesting


Oh wow, I'm not sure if that would be funny or scary. He was scared of the movie Bambi, I don't know how he could compared to the stuff he makes now .


Right, I heard he thought Bambi was a horror movie. That must have terrified him so much!


For sure, do you call Television TV, tele, or telly? I never knew the right word for it.


I call it TV or television. I watched that 70s show that was successful in america and not the remake that bombed in the UK. Ever seen either?


That is what I have heard too. I never knew that Ringo Starr, George Carlin, and Alec Baldwin all narrated Thoams the Tank Engine for 52 episodes.


they did!? I used to love that show. I need to go back and watch them and see if i notice who is narrating.


For sure, did you know Bart was in every single episode of the Simpsons? That is nuts


I think there was one out of the many that he didn't appear in, or wasn't even mentioned. I am trying to think of the one, but can't remember the title


You ever watch house? You see Hugh Laurie's salary per episode of House?


I used to be all about House back in the day. What was his salary?


It was 700,000. I wish we got that on mturk, only 699998 left to go! I am going to log off though, you have a great rest of the night. Great chatting with you!


lol me too! It was so great chatting with you. Have a great weekend!


Hello! What do you do for entertainment?


Hi!  I like to watch a lot television and play golf.  I wish I thought of the idea for YouTube.  It sold for 1.65 billion in 2006, cannot even imagine what it is worth today!!


I agree! and I can see how successful it is, Thats where I spend most of my free time. I cancelled cable and use Youtube now.


Wow, a lot of people are cutting the cord.  I like sports too much to cancel my cable.  At least we have so many choices, unlike it ancient Rome where they bred chickens for entertainment.


Wow! Haha, yes, good thing we have many forms of entertainment, depends on your mood, You can even listen to the crazy storms that happen in Jupiter via an am Radio!


That is wild!  Another wild radio fact- during WW2 soldiers used razorblades and pencils to make radios!


Wow, how ingenious! I would like to learn how to do things myself out of your resources, you never know when you will need it!


Yup, all great innovations are usually out of necessity.


Yes! and some succeed coming together with the community did you know Canada has a law where the radio has to play at least 40% canadian music?


Canadians are a proud people!  Sounds more interesting than a station in Finland broadcasting a weekly news show in classical Latin!


Haha, to each their own I guess, even the police has their own channel, theirs is called blutube :)


I believe it!  Netflix and YouTube make up about 50% of peak internet traffic in North America.  So crazy!!


I can see that! Its become so popular. Which makes me remember the days before all that.. Did you ever play Nintendo?


Yes, I loved Mario and Duck Hunt.  Hard to believe I found so much entertainment in a system that could only display 54 colors.


Yes! That was my fav too! Im still awesome at it, I beat my boyfriend the other day haha I was sad when I heard they discontinued in 2003 :(


That is a bummer.  I recently went to the mall the other day and there was a kiosk selling old Nintendo systems and games.  I almost bought one.


Oh you should have! It felt good playing it again.


I need to go back and buy one, I agree!  I am sure I can google and download some old games off the internet.  Reminds me, after Google, YouTube is the 2nd most popular search engine on the internet!


I guess thats true, and when you get tired of playing or in between breaks you get on a free website where you can listen to episode of classic radio dramas, since we are bringing it back! haha


Keeping it retro!  Watch some Ronald Reagan videos too!  He once was rejected from a movie because he did not have "that presidential look."


Interesting, kudos for trying in acting though! I would Love to do that Do you know who Bill  Nye the Science guy is?


Yes, I used to watch his videos.  Did you know he got his break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest!!??


Yes! He does look like Steve Martin! haha It was fun chatting with you! Take care, much Love. <3


How's it going, do you watch youtube? It was created in 2005


Yea, google bought youtube in 2006 for 1.65 billion, that's crazy


That is crazy, the company is worth so much money now, its the second largest search engine out there, after Google of course


Yea, so many companies like BBC, Vevo, and Hulu have partnerships with youtube to show some of their content


It was  created by 3 former PayPal employees, they had a great vision of the world for sure


Yea but I bet they never envisioned upgrading they view count integer to 64 bits because of Gangnam Style lol


That video was so funny lol, police also have their own version of the service


It's crazy how Netflix and youtube make up half of peak internet traffic in North America


Half the internet traffic? wow that is a lot, well the service has a ton of subscribers


Yep, they also have bad stuff too like the most dislike youtube video "Baby" by Justin Bieber


I didnt like that video at all so it makes sense.


Do you play video games much? The NES was so popular it wasn't discontinued until 2003 in Japan


I used to, I had the original NES system, it was nice,  it only had 54 colors but that was more than enough


Yea, sounds more entertaining than watching chickens which people in Britain did around 50bc


They did? that sounds really boring lol, I would rather kill myself than have that as my main source of entertainment


Yea, Caesar was surprised that the British didn't just eat the chickens lol


I bet he was lol, that is a suprising fact even now, there are some weird people out there


Well it was nice chatting with you, have a good one


I know the article is good but "home buyers who focus on their personal finances are going to be the winners, because they will have the means to make fast, substantial offers"... no duh!


I know, right? We also know that mortgage lenders have strict guidelines before lending people money to buy a house.


Yeah. Millenials, am I right! Their You Tube too.... Youtube is the second largest search engine on the net.


What is the largest search engine on the net?


That's ok. Justin bieber's "baby" is the most disliked video on youtube. It's like that...


I do not watch Bieber on Youtube but I heard about it before.


Police actually have their own youtube called blutube, where they share law enforcement videos. Hopefully it makes them better police...


I need to visit the site.  Is it blutube.com?


I think so. I hope it is useful for you.


It would be interesting. I wonder what types of law enforcement videos we can see on blutube.


I am not sure but I hope it brings peace to those who need it. Speaking of police... radios... According to canadian law, all radios are required to have at least 40% of the music played be canadian.


Wow, that is unusual.  They want to protect their culture, I think.


Yeah. They have a similar rule for canadian football.


I do not understand since Canadian culture is close to that of the US. What are they trying to protect?


Their values and their culture. They do not want the US invading their culture much like some people would like to put up a wall to protect our culture...


I see.  What other entertainment types are they trying to regulate?


There's a lot but they are all too political for me.... So I stick to the sidelines.


Since we talk about entertainment, I heard that ronald reagan was rejectected for a movie role?


A lot of them. He was a lifeguard for the Skokie Park District. Failed a lot...


Are you talking about Ronald Reagan, our former president?


Yes, yes I am. I recently read his biography and it was in there.


I see.  The reason why I mentioned it is because he tried to get a presidential role and the movie producer indicated that he did not look presidential enough. I think it was funny since he later on became our president.


Yeah, he struggled in Hollywood for the first few years.


I heard.  I have to run.  It was nice talking to you.


Hi. Do you like Star Wars? A new Hope released back in 1977 is a real classic in my opinion.


More of a fan when I was a kid, watch the new ones with my son now.


Oh nice yeah those are good too. The voice of Darth Vader in the original movie was only paid $7500. I can't believe that.


I don't think anyone knew how big the movies were going to be, he was probably happy with the money at the time, maybe not so much now.


Yeah agreed. Hopefully he got more. Star Wars was also the first major film to be dubbed in Navajo!


The actual actor, David Prowse, who is in the costume thought they were going to use his voice and was upset when they didn't.  He has a very regional British accent, it would not have sounded the same.


Oh wow I didn't know that. Very cool. I also find it very funny that 20th Century Fox thought Star Wars was going to flop.


The last Star Wars movie I saw was at a drive-in, never been to one before, not sure I like watching movie in my car.


Oh wow that's so cool. Yeah it would take some getting used to. I love the drive thru though! Glad Mcdonalds had that vision back in 1975!


When we get self driving cars we could do everything in the car, eat, drink, sleep and work.


Yeah that's going to be amazing. I wonder if self driving cars will have trunks. The trunk is called that because old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back.


Difficult to see an ultra modern Google self driving car having a wooden trunk on the back.


Yes my thoughts exactly ha ha. Do you know that Cadillac was named after a French explore Antoine De la mothe Cadillac who founded Detroit?


I associate the Detroit car industry as an all American entity, surprising it has a French heritage.


Yeah very surprising indeed my friend. If you live in South Africa, go ahead and put flamethrowers on your car because it is legal!


Wow, that would make for an interesting rush hour and road rage incidents.  I could it being helpful in snowy conditions like I have here.


Yes indeed! I bet 9-1-1 would get lots of call if that happened in the USA. Everyone has iphones these days. They are so powerful!


It feels like a waste that we use so much power to take selfies all the time.  We still call them phones but they ar so much more and are rarely use to make telephone calls.


Agreed. There are cables running across the ocean so we can make calls! Well on landline phones that is!


I'm guessing you can keep all the information contained in one phone book on a iphone.  Do phone books still exist?


Surprising that they do. I want to try to separate them with their pages overlapped lol. It was great conversing with you. Have a good day now.


You too, it was good talking to you.  Bye.


I am awesome. Are you a fan of Star Wars, cars or telephones?


I am a fan of Star Wars, cars and telephones!


That's great! I think that we can find a connection among all three, if we try!  Did you know that Marcia Lucas won an Oscar, but George Lucas did not? He must have been bitter! Until he had $4 billion.


Wow, really? He probably was ! Did you know James Earl Jones only spent over 2 hours doing the recordings of Darth Vaders lines! Wow


The man did not get enough for that role! But he probably got more on the next film!


I hope so, he only made over 7,000 bucks!


Hey, that was pretty good money back then for an actor! Plus, what does Darth Vader need with money? He has the force! I wonder whether he did the Navajo version.


Haha, ya a lot of money but the Star wars movie is the 2nd highest grossing film series! Of all time!


True. Star Wars will earn money forever.


Definitely, with all the merchandise as well, Star wars holds the Guinness world record for the most successful film merchandising franchise!


There is a force behind Star Wars, if you will. Do you use a car? Cars are popular. You could say there is a Car Wars.


I do have a car, I am a big fan lol. Cars used to have wooden trunks on the back...interesting...


I don't think that system of nomenclature would work in the UK. They call it the boot. The boot? Ain't no shoe back there.


Haha, Are you a big fan of the telephone? I still have a landline as well as a smartphone.


It's a good idea. You never know what will happen to the cell towers. You gotta be careful!


Exactly, cell phones can get lost or broken. I don't have any phone books anymore though lol


Phone books? They are so 2001! I would like to see a system that didn't require phones! I want to talk to people directly, without technology!


Well, having a landline....if my cell phone breaks I need a phone book to look up a number, no internet on a landline lol, I like to bypass the telephone too but not always possible.


Tru dat. Anyway, thanks for the chat! Talk to you yo!


Thanks! I am going to go watch Star Wars now lol....nice chat!


Hahahaa, you are funny! I have to jump into my car and go get a copy...or use my phone to watch it online :)


I'm not sure, but I heard that one of the significant characters was killed off


Yes -- a dog, I believe. Are you interested in cars?


Well, that's not too bad. I like cars in how practical they are, but I don't pay much attention to them. We in the US adapted to them much fast than other parts of the world


Unfortunately we rebuilt our whole society around them, thanks to collusion between the auto and real estate industries and government. Sorry for the rant LOL.


I mean, look at how popular drive thrus have become since they were built to accommodate soldiers in fatigues.


Yeah, and cities built completely around driving. Do you like dogs? I always assumed existing species of wolf were the ancestor of dogs, but apparently they're not.


The two seem so much alike though. I guess some believe that the dogs' ancestor is extinct now


Yeah, it was another kind of wolf. But all the canids are similar enough that dogs can interbreed with coyotes and so on.


Right. I wonder if wolves have blood types similar to the 12 that exist among dogs. There are even blood drives for dogs


It must be really complicated to have to have that many blood types on hand. Also it must be hard to get blood donations.


I can't imagine most dogs being large enough to give much blood, especially some as small as Chihuahuas


And they can't exactly "volunteer," so hopefully it comes mainly from dogs who are calm and relaxed and aren't bothered by it too much.


True. And since they're not actually colorblind, they might be capable of seeing the red of blood


I don't think colorblind humans are technically colorblind either -- they just see red and green as the same color.


Or some variant of that. It's likely similar with dogs


IIRC only a relatively few species see red and green as separate colors -- mainly the primates, and some birds.


And elephants are the only other animal apart from dogs who understand pointing


They're so smart! They pass the mirror test and remember their dead when they pass them following their old trails.


Dogs really are smart. That might be why Google likes dogs more than cats!


No I don't,  did you know When caesar visited britain, around 50bc, he noted that its people bred chickens not for food, but for entertainment


That is interesting. These days most people entertain themselves by watching tv or playing video games. The first nintendo entertainment system could only display 54 colors.


The nintendo entertainment system could display only 54 colors


Apparently the Nintendo Entertainment System was only discontinued in September of 2003.


Ronald reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had "that presidential look."


That is funny. Speaking of looks, Bill Nye the Science Guy was discovered because he won a Steve Martin lookalike contest.


I never really thought of him looking like Steve Martin!


lol really?  This is interesting and very considerate: Mcdonalds' added drive-thru in 1975 to accommodate soldiers who were not allowed to get out of their cars while wearing their fatigues.


That's really cool of them. Though it has made us as a society much lazier!


Yeah,  I'm thankful though!  It helps a lot if you have kiddos!  lol I'll admit I'm lazy.


Do you play car racing video games? James Mardenborough became a professional race car driver when he beat 90,000 people in the video game gran turismo.


No I actually don't.  That's crazy!  The trunk of your car is called that because old cars used to have wooden trunks on the back.


That's funny. I wonder if theft was an issue.


Maybe,  trunks can be really heavy though lol


I just wondered if anyone would crack them open.


It is legal in south-africa to equip your car with flame-throwers to prevent carjacking.


Hmm, that is interesting. I wonder if they work to prevent highjacking.


It's interesting how much we rely on cars. It seems before 1908 that cars were not really available to the masses.


hey do you ever wear costumes? like for instance during halloweeN?


I'm not really a costume person. How about you?


no I only do it for Halloween personally, but I guess panda research scientists will wear panda costumes for work haha


An odd job requirement. A Scottish man dresses up in a homemade giraffe costume and performs random acts of kindness. Why a giraffe?


ha that is werid, did you see lord of the rings? I guess Sean Bean was afraid of flying so he would hike to the locations in his full costume


That's a tough phobia to have these days, but I guess it got him in shape. Hugh Jackman walked around Comic Con wearing his full wolverine costume, and nobody noticed.


haha thats cool, whats nice is johnny depp will travel as Jack Sparrow and visit sick kids in hospitals


Jack Sparrow! Great character. Johnny loves kids. Bob Denver allowed Make-a-wish kids to rescue him from an island while he was wearing full Gilligan costume.


ha thats awesome, I think dogs are good for sick kids, are you more of a dog or cat person?


yeah me too, and apparently google literally prefers dogs to cats, its in their code of conduct


Cats are probably pretty hard to control in an office environment. Dogs can learn over a thousand words and can reason better than chimps. I wonder how dogs compare to cats in that way.


wow that is cool, and ya I never knew that dogs weren't actually colorblind, everyone always says they were


They see fewer colors. I think they would need color to do what they do. Their sense of smell is quite keen.


ya it is, and so is their thinking, dogs and elephants are the only animals that can respond to pointing


Elephants are clever about language as well. They can recognize when people speak different languages. I don't think they could use the subway like some dogs in Moscow.


wow thats cool, also cool is that there are 12 dog blood types and people do dog blood drives!


I wonder how they distract the dogs to get the needle in them


thats a good point, and I wonder if they give them a cookie or treat after!


I really enjoyed chatting with you tonight! Have a great night, and enjoy wearing costumes! You could dress up as Trump!


haha we shall see! Great talking to you and make sure to pet a dog they are man's best friend!


Great, how about you? Did you know that dogs are not color blind? A lot of people think they are.


I thought they were too! Dogs can have 12 different blood types.


Wow, that's a lot of different blood types. Did you know that Google prefers dogs over cats? I guess it's in their code of conduct.


That's a company that I could work for! AOL was probably a cat company.


Ha, that's funny! Did you know the first president of zimbabwe was called president banana?


That is a weird nickname. I wonder if he got that in college...


Maybe so!  Did you know that panda researchers wear panda costumes to work?


That's weird. Istanbul has a vending machine for dogs! That's so kind.


What, that's crazy! Wonder how long they stay in there if no one buys them. Did you know the U.S. President's guest house is bigger than the White House?


That's gotta infuriate Trump. He doesn't seem like the type to tolerate that...


No kidding. The president of Indonesia has released 3 pop albums while in office. Now that's something Trump hasn't done.


Up until 1805, the losing presidental candidate would become vice president. Can you imagine Hilary and trump working together?


I tend to think that would be a good thing. It would force them to work together and might not make the campaigns so cut throat.


It proabably would bring back some civility on the campaign trails. I am not looking forward to 2020. It's going to be a train wreck...


No kidding. There's a lack of viable candidates unfortunately. Did you know dogs and elephants are the only animals that seem to instinctively understand pointing?


I did not. I can understand dogs knowing it but elephants? That's amazing!


And all this time I thought the elephants at the zoo were completely trained! Do you know what Pizzagate was?


I do! A far-fetched conspiracy theory! I wonder why Liz Crokin thinks it's true.


No, not really. It seems like there is a lot of controversial stuff on there. Have you heard of Pizzagate?


I have. It seems like such a 2019 thing. Did you know about it?


I might have vaguely heard about it. I heard it was discredited though.


Yeah. I find Chrissy to be funny so I knew she would have a good response. She has really gotten popular!


Who is she exactly? I'm not too up to date with my celebrities


She is an SI swim suit model but I know her from the Dan Patrick show where she used to be one 1 time a year. She was really funny.


I hear she is opinionated and has even been blocked by the president on Twitter!


Yeah. I do not pay much attention to twitter though. I feel like people wear masks on there. You know the real them is in there but your not sure where becuase they are showing something else.


I don't understand why she was being accused of child abuse and pedophilia?


I am not either. I think it is one of the made up stories from Russia, Like Hillary killing 10 people...


Apparently an author, Crokin, claimed that an emoji proved a link between Teigen and a secret society. Be careful with that pizza emoji!


I wonder what pizza roll emojis would do? A smaller, more convenient secret society that will burn the roof of your mouth with inferno hot filling?


Haha! Right, she could just legitimately like pizza! Pizzagate believers think that many Democrats and Hollywood elite are a part of the secret society.


If this secret society serves pizza, I want to join. Do you think people like Lou Malnati are part of the secret society?


I'm not familiar with him either, sorry. Haha. It seems as if Hillary Clinton is standing up for her


Lou Malnati's is a famous pizza place in chicago. It's so good! Hilary is standing up for her?


Oh, yum! Love New York pizza. Yeah, Hillary says she has never bothered to report threats against her but is reporting ones against Chrissy and her daughter.


HAHAHA. That's funny... Have a great day!


I am great.  Have you seen the movie "White Boy Rick"


Yes, it is, and all of it is true.  It starts Matthew McConaughey and Richie Merritt, who play father and son.


I've heard about it.  I've heard it is depressing.


It is depressing and entertaining.  It has drugs, sex and gunrunning,  plus a main character whose neck-deep involvement in all those activities - while still a teenage


Goodness, that's crazy.  Sounds like a brutal movie in the Detroit black underworld.


Taking its title from the nickname bestowed on the younger Wershe by some members of Detroit's black underworld, "White Boy Rick" covers a span of only three to four years


Yes, it is. The screen writers were Andy Weiss, Logan Miller and Noah Miller.


Never heard of them.  I read it's entertaining in an unsavory way.


Changing topics a little, did you know that When caesar visited britain, around 50bc, he noted that its people bred chickens not for food, but for entertainment


No, I sure didn't but that's an interesting piece of information.  Louis Braille create the braille system for the blind.


I didn't know that.  I did know that Bill nye "the science guy" got his break in entertainment by winning a steve martin lookalike contest.


yes, I thought it was also. Also, Ronald reagan was once rejected for a movie role because an entertainment executive didn't think he had "that presidential look."


Haha, what an idiot they turned out to be.  Andrew Johnson never attended school.


He didn't, that is interesting.  On another note, Jim carrey doesn't make dramas any more because his belief system prevents him from playing in movies that don't project positivity


Haha, that's interesting as well.  He was hilarious in the 90s.


Yes, well, thank you so much for chatting.  Have a HAPPY HOLIDAY.


Hey! Do you play Nintendo at all? Hard to believe they just discontinued the original NES in Japan in 2003. I still remember getting mine in 1985!


I loved the original Nintendo. I can't believe Japan produced them that long. That's surprising. Did you also know that for a documentary a company will be excavating the famous atari game landfill?


I've actually seen that documentary! They find the ET games, believe it or not. It wasn't an urban legend after all.


Oh wow! I had always heard about that but did not know if it was true or not. Now I do.


The original NES could only display 54 colors. Didn't stop me from playing the heck out of some Zelda though.


I played a lot of that also. I just loved that system. Speaking of games, did you know that Blizzard gives swords and shields to its five and ten year employees?


Nice! That's hilarious. Wonder how much a ten year employee makes at Blizzard? Hugh Laurie from the TV show house made $700k and episode!


It has to be a lot. I did not know that Hugh Laurie made that much for House! Did you know that Jon Hamm taught drama at his old high school?


I bet he was a great teacher. Michael Caine became an actor because all the prettiest girls in his school were in drama. Haha. Smart kid.


Ha ha, I'm not surprised. Shockingly one of Jon Hamm's students was Ellie Kemper from The Office!


That's cool. Jim Carrey only makes movies or shows that project positivity now, because of his belief system. Wonder how his artwork plays into that?


That's a good question. I was just thinking that his art is pretty dark and that new show on Showtime he has looks pretty depressing overall.


Yeah, agreed. Here's an interesting tidbit -- CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien had "You Laugh, You Lose" contests when reading bad poetry. That would have been awesome to hear!


That's crazy to imagine them together. I did not realize they were writing at the same time. Did you know that silently reading is a recent phenomenon?


I admit, as a writer I read aloud A LOT. Speaking of reading, the world record for speed reading is 4700 word per minute. Say what now?!


I don't know how you would comprehend anything reading that fast. Apparently everyone used to read out loud and only the most skilled could read silently.


In the 18th century there was a moral panic because of the rise of novels. Oh, the horror!


Really? It seems it's always something. Books then, music when I was a little kid, video games when I was a teenager, TV and movies always apparently.


Starship Troopers is the only novel on three military branch reading lists. Wonder if they have to watch the movie too? Hope not.


What a strange choice. I know there is a military but they are also fighting giant bug creatures so I wonder why that book?


Haha. No idea. Maybe it has something to do with battling fascists? I know the story is an allegory about fascism.


Possibly, seems like they could have picked other war related books. There is certainly no shortage of them.


Hi there!  Did you know the official business and office attire in Hawaii is the aloha shirt!?  I certainly didn't know that.


I did not know that, do you know anything about calvin and hobbes?


I do not, but did you know that the White House still uses floppy discs in part for the storing of files?


I did not know that! i know jimmy carter installed solar panels on the white house!


really?  i heard that George W Bush had solar panels put on the back of the White House.


no, it was carter, and then ronald reagan had them removed!


Interesting; I did not know that. I did not know that The White House has twin buildings in Ireland and France.


I have never heard that, I know there is a replica in Atlanta though!


#themoreyouknow. Apparently the US President's Guest House is larger than the White House. That's an oddity.


that is odd, I know that carter turned the thermostats down to 65 in the winters!


At least he wasn't the president of Indonesia, who released 3 pop albums while in office!


that is crazy! i also know that the white house address was 1 initially


Every president since John Adams has lived in the White House - so 219 years!


I know lincoln was the first president who was photographed for his inauguration!


That's pretty wild. You know what else is wild?  The first president of Zimbabwe.  He was called - get this - President BANANA!


that is awesome, I wish I had a name that great! our last president to speak a foreign language was FDR!


Speaking of the Roosevelts, Teddy banned christmas trees from the white house!


the white house apparently sends back congrats cards for birth announcements!


...but it took them four days to realize that someone had shot up the place back in november of 2011!


really? I never heard about that! maybe that was the replica?


Hey there what do you think about Kanye West?


I think Kanye needs to see a mental health professional, as those around him are not giving him the help he needs. That "dragon energy" bit was bizarre, but he was on to something with that hydrogen power that everyone glossed over.


Haha yes he definitely says lot of bizarre things. I think that he even believes AIDS is a man-made disease. He certainly has a lot of unconventional opinions.


I honestly think the Kardashian/Jenner women made him that way. He wasn't like that before he got with Kim. I don't understand why he  is a trump supporter.


yes theres a lot I don't really understand about him, but he seems like he can be a nice guy, he once gave his microphone to a fan of his at a concert, that fan was in a wheelchair


That on again, off again fued with Taylor Swift is odd. One would think they would resolve their differences.


Yes they should just ignore each other. What do you think about the fact that of the top 10 most successful songs ever Kanye West gold digger is the only one written in a minor key


I don't know much about his music. I do know that he was sued by Evil Kneivel.


No I didn't know that. Do you know why that happened? That's so weird


Something to do with damage to his reputation, over the "touch the sky" video. I don't know exactly what happened.


Well that's weird. what do you think about rapping in general? Do you think that Tupac Shakur's music should be in the Library of Congress


I adore Tupac. I cried when he was killed. Have you heard of the deaf rapper who raps in sign language?


No I didn't hear about that. I wonder if I would be able to understand him though? I did hear that in Korea they do a compliment battle instead of a rap battle


I heard about that too I would like to hear some of that. I think it's hilarous that McDonalds pays rappers for each time they mention Big Macs in a song.


That is pretty funny. They should just make a song that is constantly saying the word"Big Mac"LOL


I wonder if anyone did? Childish Gambino got his name from a Wu Tang name generator. That is the crunchiest thing every.


Well it is a strange name so that would make sense haha. Did you ever see the 1998 Rugrat movie? Apparently Busta Rhymes does the voice of Reptar LOL that's so weird


I have not, but I heard about it. I guess the singer of the pokemon theme also rapped on a Michael Jackson song.


Wow I didn't know that. I also didn't know that Eminem loves Spider-Man as a kid, definitely would have thought he liked Batman or something


I would have thought he was a Captain America fan. It's interesting that the last president to speak a foreign language fluently, was FDR


Yes that is interesting but almost sad too. I think it's also sad that the president of Indonesia made three pop albums, you think you could use his time better than that


No, not really. I don't know it. I prefer melody and harmony. You?


I'm like you.  I kind of like Eminem though.  In 2001 a Michigan judge delivered her verdict to him in the form of rap.  I thought that was funny.


I think she was trying to be cool.  Rapper Tupac Shakur's music is in the library of congress of cultural significance. What do you think of that?


That's pretty neat.  Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle rap called "compliment battle".  That sounds funny. lol


I think that is reflective of Korean culture. Show respect. Be courteous, even when you spitting mad fire yo.


I like that concept.  Before he became a rapper Eminem wanted to be a comic book writer.  Interesting.


I think he could do that now with all the money that he has. He could start his own company M&M Comix.


That's funny stuff! LOL  Switching topics...do you many facts about the president?


I know a bit. I know that Trump is not the wealthiest.


I believe it. Before he was president the top 3 wealthiest were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.


Those guys had land, or came from a family with money.


Hahhaha  You're not lying either!  I would say let Banana but that's already been taken by the first president of Zimbabwe. lol


The US presidents guest house is larger than the White House.  I don't think Trump has anything to do with that though.


Is that true? I wonder when the guest house was built. Why would it be bigger?


I'm not sure.  Maybe to treat visitors top notch.  I watched a documentary on Obama and I was surprised to find out that everything that goes on in the White House the president has to pay for himself right down to the food they eat.  I always thought that stuff was paid for by tax dollars.  I was wrong.  Up until 1805 the US runner up in the presidential elections would automatically become vice president.  That wouldn't work now.


The presidency in the US is not as nice as people think. I figure that old style system would make for some laughs and interesting photo ops.


Switching up things...do you follow Kanye West at all?


Who would win that battle? I do not follow Kanye.


I don't know who would win.  ..and HAHAHAHAHA  I know Kanye can be out there doing odd things...he once did an SNL skit mocking himself for interrupting award shows.


Kanye can be unpredictable. Anyway, great chat!


I would say the lighter raps but not hardcore or gansta.


I'm with you there.  I liked the older rap music from around the late 80s and early 90s...like Young MC, etc.  Did you know that before Eminem became a rapper he wanted to become a comic book artist?


I can see that.  McDonalds paid $5 for Mac references in songs


I didn't know that!  Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle called "compliment battle".  I bet that's kind of funny to watch.


Wow times have changed.  there is a deaf rapper who raps in sign language!


That would be neat to see!  In 2001, a Michigan judge delivered her ruling in the form of a rap when trying a suit filed against Eminem.  lol


Wow that is cool. I wonder if she had "flow"


hahaha Nice!  Busta Rhymes voiced the reptar wagon in the 1998 Rugrats movie.  I didn't know that.


The worlds fastest rapper can rap at 14.1 syllables per second


whoa!  I would like to hear that. I wonder if that guy is on youtube?


Im sure it is....did you hear Kanye gave Trump a hug at the White House?


I did!  I remember seeing it on tv when he visited there.


Haha!  I liked how he once gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert.  That was pretty cool.


Since he cares so much about issues such as North Korea, biopolar disorders and other current topics, I wonder why he does not write songs about them?


You have a point there!  Sometimes I think he does some of those wacky things just for publicity.


Like grabbing the mic from Taylor Swift, she is 2 inches taller than him.


Right!  lol  Out of the top 10 most succesful songs of all time, only Kanye West's "Gold Digger" in in a minor key.  Interesting!  It's been fun chatting with you!


Same here.  Hopefully no one else sues Kanye like Evil Knievel.  See ya


Hello, yes I like some of it, how about yourself?


I dont really know much about the genre. i am more interested in melody and harmony. who do you like?


Bryce Vine, Cardi B,  Drake.  Did you know Tupac took ballet classes?


I heard that he danced ballet in high school. He was a talented dancer.


Korean rappers invented a new rap battle, "compliment battle" lol That sounds awesome!


I bet they come up with interesting compliments. I would how they determine the winner.


Yes, get the greatest number of compliments in the time limit. that would work. I wonder if tupac could do that.


lol probably not,  he doesnt seem like the type to shower you with compliments lol


No, he would probably dress you down for your lack of style and then get the crowd to mock you LOL


lol right.  Before eminem became a rapper he wanted to become a comedian.


A comedian? i never knew that. i heard that he wanted to write comic books. he could do either one now with all his money.


Oh wow, thats awesome too. Yeah he could do whatever he wants honestly lol


Yeah, he is set. He could start a comedy club and a comic book company. By the way, do you like Kanye?


No, not really I think his head is too big but not filled with enough knowledge.


He is a weird man.  I agree his head is too big,  he always says hes the best rapper,  his songs are hardly on the radio at all lol and hes rude!


Yeah, he has done some impudent things. taking mics from people on stage. He thinks AIDS is man made. What? Anyway, great chat!


Good, did you know that only one of Kayne's top 10 songs is in a minor key?


Me either, pretty crazy that he did a skit for interrupting shows before he actually did it.


What a wacko! He thinks AIDS is man-made.


The president of Indonesia is apparently a pop star as well as president.


The first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana. Seems appropriate...


I didn't know that Eminem wanted to be a comic book artist before he was a rapper.


Did you know the guest house is bigger than the white house?


Interesting, although it wouldn't surprise me. The White House is a pretty old building.


Did you know Rapper Busta Rhymes voiced the raptor Wagon in the 1998 rugrats movie?


I did not. Tupac's music is in the library of congress because of its cultural significance.


I know, that is a fairly old topic. I remember when they put it in the library.


Have you heard of the compliment battle?


I think it is a rap battle, but I'm not sure. I've never heard one.


I have not either. I guess it originiated in Korea.


It seems like something that would originate over there. It's an interesting country.


No, I have never had the desire. Amazing that some of the griot traditions can be traced back to Egyptian practices.


I do listen to rap on occasion. How about you, do you like rap?


I like older 90's rap though.  Hammertime haha.  What a great style between speech and singing.


Yeah!!! Me too, I use to listen to LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes.


Great!  Do you know what LL Cool J stands for?


In all honesty I don't. I was wondering what is rap usually associated with?


Ladies Love Cool James haha.  Rap is associated with hip hop.


Oh! Thanks, I didn't know. What is the earliest precursor to modern rap?


Yes you're right!!! Yes it was a tradition that goes way back to ancient Egyptian practices which is really amazing.


That is farther back than I thought.  I though Mohammad Ali was rapping when he spoke to the media!


Yes, you're correct!!! Muhammad Ali was using verbal taunts in a rap format I believe. Am I right?


For sure!!! He was so quick witted.  He would have done well free style rapping.


I agree!!! Do you listen to Eminem at all?


Yes another wordsmith.  Though he wanted to be a comic book writer at first.


Yes, I agree. Do you happen to know who his favorite superhero was?


Ha Ha!!! I think one of the best rappers out there is Kanye West.


Kanye is so popular right now...resposible for cultural movements


I agree. He is really talented and I also read somewhere that he gave his mic to a fan in a wheelchair at a concert of his.


I saw that!  Really neat.  Nice to speak to you. Take care


Thanks. It was very nice chatting with you as well!! Have a nice night!!


I do, but I am not a big fan of rap.  Some rappers like Kanye West are pretty out there.


true. and others like Tupac had such an impact that their music is considered of cultural significance


Yes.   I can't believe that he actually believes stuff like aids is man-made.  What's up with that?


It is strange, he is strange sometimes. But sometimes he is nice like that time he gave his fan in a wheelchair the mic.


That is very true.  His being best friends with Trump is pretty odd - he has made some odd statements at the White House.


Yeah for sure. Do you know the rapper big sean?


No I do not know anything about him.  I have heard of Chance the Rapper.


Big Sean was such a good student and ha d high gpa and turned down a scholarship to attend MSU


That is interesting.  Rap Music is quite different - its origins actually pre-date hip hop culture


Yeah apparently the word apparently has been used in 16th century


That is interesting.  It  can be performed with a beatbox, but I rather prefer it acapalla.


there are so many versions of playing a genre of music nowadays. do you like eminem?


I do not like his music, but I do like his favorite choice of superhero - spiderman


Yeah and he even dreamt of becoming a comic book artist. Maybe he is good at that as well


Or perhaps he could be in a animated movie like Busta Rhymes was in the rugrats


Yeah, exactly, so many options to get involved. Have you heard of compliment battle?


I do not know much about it - just something that the Korean rappers invented.


yeah I think they sing rap style and just compliment each other.


That is pretty funny.  Like the judge who delivered her ruling in the form of rap when she was involved in a suit with Enimen


Oh mine I would have loved to be in that courtroom and listen to that


Yea, Tupac is my favorite, glad his music in in the Library of Congress


Oh really? Nice! I like his music too. Eminem is another great Rapper he wanted to be a comic book artist.


Yea, I heard Eminem was a huge spider-man fan


Yes! I can tell with his music he has been through so much Pain. I wonder why he had issues with a Judge back in 2001, He is no stranger to law enforcement issues.


I guess someone was suing Eminem, pretty unprofessional for a judge to deliver a ruing in a rap though


I agree! I wish I was a rapper. I get so into it when I hear others freestyle. I just cant. Im better as  an interpreter dancer haha


Well you can't be worse than Korean rappers who do compliment battle raps


Haha! Its hard to imagine how far back Rap dates, if you really thin k about it. The west African griot tradition is how it started.


Yea and rapping has given so many people platforms to do other stuff, like Busa Rhymes voicing the reptar wagon in 1998


I like Kanye's first two albums before he went off the deep end and start interrupting Taylor Swift


Haha, very true. It took me a while to "like" him again after that. But I gotta admit, he is very talented too bad it gets to his head. He is big in conspiracies, he once mentioned Aids being a Man-made disease


Yea but he can do nice things like giving a mic to a fan in a wheelchair


Yes, and his music has inspired others and he has been responsible for cultural movements within mainstream.


Yea, his song Gold Digger was pretty popular, surprised it's his only top 10 song in minor key


Yes! I didnt know that Big Sean was signed by Kanye, he is another great rapper!


Yea, I wonder if Kayne of Big Sean did any songs with the president of Indonesia who released 3 pop albums


Haha, Speaking of President, did you know that the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana?! I wonder if he got picked on or maybe that means something else in that language


Maybe the first President of Zimbabwe liked Bananas a lot


haha, yeah maybe! who has been your fav President so far?


FDR. Well I have to go, nice chatting with you


I honestly don't know that much about him. Rap isn't really my kind of music but he seems like a fascinating person.


Yeah, he keeps people guessing! Did you see that SNL skit where he made fun of himself interrupting award shows?


No I didn't. I heard he actually did that years before he interuppted Taylor swift though?


Yeah!  I wonder if he saw that skit as permission to keep doing it?  Or maybe he just doesn't care...lol


I'm going to go out on a limb and say he doesn't care. I mean when Kanye is tweeting in support of Trump he is doing things for the ratings.


You think he does it for the ratings?  I always thought he just doesn't care what people think and does what he wants!  I hear he likes Trump's "Dragon Energy", that made me LOL


Wow that is just bad. The whole tweet with the MAGA hat smells like a publicity stunt to me. Our government is a popularity contest though.


That's so true, and so frustrating!!  I once read that Kanye is a contrarian, so he supports Trump because most Black Americans don't support him.


That is just a ridiculous position. It is like a child doing the opposite of what the parents says simply because they said it. I wonder if his attitudes contribute to his popularity and success?


That could be, I don't really understand why famous people become famous, it all doesn't make sense to me!  I don't listen to his music but I heard he's played with soul, pop, electro, indie rock, industrial, gospel, etc.  I think it's kinda cool that he's at least playing with different styles - maybe trying to understand and appreciate them - and not just sticking to rap.


Wow that is a lot of styles! He does really have a talent. I mean who doesn't know Gold digger? I love that it is in a minor key. It really makes it stand out.


Yes, and considering with was one of the top ten most successful songs of all time, you think he would produce more music in the minor key...maybe that's what makes it so good?


Maybe. He does seem to have a really sweet side like when you see him with his kids or when he gave that mic to the fan in the wheelchair.


Yes, for me he is one person who evokes a whole sea of emotions!  I don't know if I should like, hate, or be disgusted by him!  Did you know that in the Library of Congress they have some of Tupac's music?


They keep it for cultural significance don't they? I could see that. He changed the face of music and will always be remembered.


That's true, he's remembered for Rap like Elvis is remembered for Rock and Roll.  One rapper that I've listened to a little over the years is Eminem.  Before he was a rapper he wanted to be a comic book artist!


He is quite the jack of all trades when it comes to art. I wonder what he thought of that Michigan judge that rapped to him in her verdict. That would have been hilarious to see.


That would be hilarious!  I hope he got a kick out of it, I know I would!!


I would too. Did you ever watch rugrats as a kid? I guess Busta Rhymes was the voice of Reptar. I never would have guessed that.


I did watch it, but I don't remember Reptar...I guess I should look it up!  I have to get going, it was good talking with you...have a great day!


I love football my favorite team is the miami dolphins whats yours?


Mine is the Cincinnati Bengals. Do you follow any quarterbacks?


Yes!! I love Cam Newton which is your current favorite quarterback in the league?


I really love Mahomes and am curious to see how he does in the NFL. He's a beast.


Who are you hoping wins the superbowl this year?


I really want to see the Saints go. What about you?


Definitely the saints if the chief win I wouldn't be too mad though they deserve it.


Yep, I like the Chiefs as well. The Rams too. Did you know Baker Mayfield once considered quitting football to pursue competitive gaming? He really likes Halo lol.


Lol imagine a huge athletic talent like that winning a video game championship while also holding a superbowl ring


Haha yea that would be funny. I heard that the huddle derived from a quarterback who was deaf and used the circular huddle to hide his hand signals.


Thats actually a very intelligent tactic for him to come up with he changed history and the way plays are made with that idea.


I love them I love tropic thunder and superbad and pineapple express.


Yes, those are all very funny movies. I didn't know that Demetri Martin was accepted into Harvard but didn't go out of boredom and wanted to chase a career in comedy.


Demitri martin is the best the comedian bert kreischer talks about him on his podcast on youtube and he said he was very generous and he would take lesser known comics on tour with him to give them a chance at performing in front of huge crowds


That's pretty cool. I also love Bill Murray.


Have you ever seen caddyshack or groundhog day?


I love both of those movies. They are so funny.


They're classics a lesser known movie of his is Where the buffalo roam, where he plays the crazy journalist hunter s thompson


I love them. Do you know in Iceland they have a fifth speeD?


Yes it is called a tolt and is like speedwalking for them


Yeah. Do you know Dalmatians are associated with firefighters?


Yes because they can calm and protect horses


Yes. CLint Eastwood is also a fan of horses and has played in many movies with them


Yes but he is slightly allergic to them ironically


Yeah. Did you hear of those kids that got suspended because they rode horses to school?


Yes but it was no vehicle to school day that day


Yeah. Do you know what lipizzaner horses are?


Yes they are born a dark color and change to white as they grow


I know some stuff. Do you know who the three wealthiest ones are?


Yes that is JFK< Washington and Jefferson


Yeah. Do you know what the first president if Zimbabwe is called?


Yeah. Did you also know that the white house is smaller than the guest house?


I guess they get a lot of guests so need more room


I guess. Do you know how the VP used to be elected?


Yes that was the runner up that moved into that position


Yes that is a good way to go about that I think


True. It was really nice chatting with you today


Not really, but any cloths is better than no clothes right?


for sure lol, I don't have a favorite either, for all I care I could wear pilgrim clothing and be fine


Well I wouldn't take it that far. They sure loved their buckles


Apparently they only wore their "pilgrim" clothes at special occasions


Really? My kindergarten years were all a lie


ha I was thinking the same thing. Back in the day apple had their own clothes, ever worn those?


Nope. Did they just have the apple logo?


I am not sure, I wonder if I could find some on ebay. Or at a store in alabama who sell unclaimed baggage.


I wonder also, if so I am going to Chicago o Hare and getting what i can


Jordan and Nike clothes. I like to be comfortable, how about you?


I like jeans since they last so long and are usually comfortable unless skinny jeans


For sure, I can't wear skinny jeans, I am over that now lol. I like khakis too


I could never get into khakis. Felt too stiff


Jeans is that feeling for me, i am too restricted!


I understand, but as long as the jeans aren't tight and too constricting, they feel smooth for me. Kind of hard to put into words


That is true, maybe I need looser ones. Good chatting with you!


I enjoyed chatting as well. Thank you for your time


Have you ever galloped on a horse? Icelandic horses have a fifth speed, a tolt, that is like speedwalking.


I meant to say horses are ok.  Hit the enter key by mistake.  No, I have never ridden a horse.  I like the idea that horses have speeds.


Lipizzaner horses are known for their classical dressage performances. Interestingly enough, they are born with dark fur and take six years to turn completely white.


Horses were domesticated in 4000 BC.  Dogs were domesticated first.  I would rather have a dog than a horse.
