Wow, so people were crazy about him even before he got to the NBA, I heard he rejected a $10 million deal from Reebok once


Yeah, imagine, passing up $10 million with confidence that another better deal was on the horizon...and he was right!  Nike paid him $90 milllion just a year later!


Have you seen the tv show Stranger Things?  It is quite the interesting horrow show


Ethopia has a celebrity tv chef who is trying to combat hunger in his country


That is good of him to do. Wonder how he is doing it.


He is encourage everyone to eat more diverse foods.


I dont really see how that is combating hunger but ok.


It helps with farmers growing more crops and diversifying the fields.  I think it is funny that Pixar studio has a whole secret room for celebrities.


That is cool. I would really like to see that room.


I wonder if Carol Burnett ever went there - she was the very first celebrity to ever be on Sesame Street!


Im sure she has. I was never a big carol burnett fan tho.


Do you have any favorite videos on youtube?  That is a huge website these days..


I just watch it to find out how to do stuff. Like work on the car or something.


It is the largest searchengine out there.


Yes it was originally based on Project Montauk - a supposed secret government program involving kidnapping children.


It has some famous stars in it like Winona Ryder and David Harbour


Thats cool. I like both of those actors.


Do you know any celebrities?  I met Robin Williams once right after he started the trend of celebrities performing voices in animated films


I met Judge Judy once - she makes $123k per episode, making her the highest paid celebrity after Lebron James.


I would rather watch her than lebron any day. Lol.


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


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!


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?


Hello there, did you know the white house is smaller than the guest house?


Well he did not want to be associated with the republicans in any way and given the logo, he just wanted to stay away


Makes sense, even though it is a little too sensitive.  I have had democrat chat partners who got mad when I told them that the republicans were founded as an anti-slavery party.  I don't get mad at any accurate history.


Well it is a good thing that we can all share our opinions, we all have our own preferences. How about the Bible, have you ever read it? Are you religious?


I have taught the Bible to adults for over 30 years.  I study it 6 hours per week to prepare my lesson.  The name comes from Koine Greek.  It communicates the most important message on the planet to me.


Oh cool. Did you know Thomas Jefferson created his own version of the bible?


Yes.  I think he will pay price for that.  The book of Revelation states that all the plagues of the book will be visited on anyone who adds to or takes away from the book.


Did not know that. Apparently the tower of babel is based on a real building in modern day Iraq


Yes.  I have seen photos of several of those towers.  There have been over 7000 languages in our lifetime but some are disappearing now.  The Mandarin symbol for the word "ship" consists of a container, the symbol for "people" and their number for "eight"  So, a ship is a container of eight people.  That is how many people Noah had on the ark.


Wow, never heard of this before. That is so interesting, so much history involved in there. I am assuming you also know that malus means evil and apple.


I do.  Of course, I think it goes back to the early understanding of the Garden of Eden.  I don't know if Steve Jobs would have picked the name Malus for his company.


I had heard that.  I think the guest house is newer.


Yeah probably not, but then again there is no way to know for sure now. It was nice chatting with you


Yeah it is. I wonder id the pop star president of Indonesia has ever stayed there


I haven't heard.  Did you know that Hillary Clinton was the president of the young republicans in college?


Wow that is pretty ironic considering she is such a strong democrat nowadays


True. In another irony, the only president to propose a guaranteed minimum income was a republican, Richard NIxon.


Go figure. Did you know that all republican presidents have had a beard?


That is odd.  I have a beard and I am a republican too!.  There is a republican versus democrat baseball game every year that has been played by congress people since 1909.  The republicans are ahead by only 3 games.


Wow that is a long time, what a tradition. Did you know Truman refused to be photographed on the dumbo ride?


Hey! Did you know that until 1998, British politicians had to wear a top hat when making a point of order in the house of commons?


Well humans and monkeys are distantly related lol. There are legless lizards also. I don't mind legged lizards, but I don't think I would look at a legless lizard as anything less than a snake.


If it doesn't have legs, I am checking out. A legless lizard is a snake! You know, I was reading that crocodiles are closer related to birds then snakes and lizards. I would have never guessed that.


Haha checking out. Agreed. I wouldn't have guessed that about crocodiles either. I always call alligators/crocodiles dinosaurs, and I heard that chickens are likely descendants of dinosaurs.. so maybe I am onto something?


If you have seen Jurassic park and believe it (I kinda do) then you would agree. Hey, do you like dancing? Did you know that it can be categorized and described by its choreography. I am horrible, but its fun.


I love Jurassic Park and I do love dancing. I'm not the best dancer either but I have a good time. Apparently Bruce Lee was a great dancer and won the Hong Kong cha-cha championship in 1958.


I bet that is why he was so good at martial arts. Dancing probably helped keep him limber and light on his feet. I feel like those would be important skills to have.


Good point! Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music and smile more when they hit the beat! I can attest to that, I have one at home and he loves music.


That is adorable, baby dancing is the best, it is so pure for the joy of it! You know who else was a dancer? Tupac, he danced ballet. That is unexpected.


Whoa I didn't know that and I'm a Tupac fan. Very unexpected! Professional ballet dancers can go through 4 pairs of pointe shoes in a week. I know he wasn't wearing those though.


No, can you imagine him performing California Love wearing point shoes and doing ballet? It would be funny, but probably ruin the effect of the song.


I did not know that, but it could be because hats are worn for various reasons which include ceremonial ones, like the house of commons!


Hahahaha very true. Well I thoroughly enjoyed this chat! Have a wonderful day/night!


Exactly. The most popular hat in the Old West was actually the bowler, not the Cowboy hat.


So you are saying that all of the westerns have got it wrong? Haha, all of the cowboys should have been wearing bowler hats, doesn't make them seem quite as tough.


I guess so! I was surprised when I learned that. Imagine the Marlboro cowboy in a bowler! That wouldn't work though, because a cowboy really does need a cowboy hat to protect against the sun and rain.


I agree, it is just not the same. You know how cowboys would tip their hats in greeting? That originated from knights raising their face visors to show they were friendly.


That's very interesting and makes sense. How do you feel about snakes? I'm not a big fan. I'd go to New Zealand, where there are none.


I would be joining you in New Zealand. Snakes make my skin crawl, always have. It is a long held fear of mine. New Zealand is lucky!


Yeah that's how I feel too! There is a genus of flying snakes that can launch themselves. If I saw that in person I would die.


I would as well, it is bad enough to see them slither around, but flying...no! I was reading that the fear of snakes is hard-wired not just in human brains, but in monkey brains as well.


Yes because he sis not want the other team to read his gestures


SO smart. Baker Mayfield once thought of quitting football? DO you know why?


Yes he wanted to become a competitive gamer


Yeah. U of Iowan painted the visitor locker room pink.


Yes I wonder if that is supposed to have some impact on them


I wonder too. Do you know what he highest score in college football is?


That was 222-0  with Georgia Tech beating Cumberland


Yeah. Bowlers make more money in the 60s than football players


Yes it was not that popular of a sport back in the day


Yesh. Did you know ESPN won an Emmy once?


yes they won it for the superimposed yellow line


Yeah , it has made watching games easier. It was really nice chatting with you today.


Yes I do. Did you know he was a backup QB in high school?


Yes and they never started him, too weird


Yes they lost a lot of talent there and a chance to win a game


Yes he is the QB that wrapped up college in two years


Yes he took lots of AP tests so really planned ahead


Yeah. Do you know who invented the circular huddle?


Yes that was Paul Hubbard and he was deaf. Do you know why he invented it?


Do you like instruments? I love the Piano though i can not play it, lol.


Wow wonder how they got it up there? Did you know that building blocks of life were discovered in a planetary system 455 light years away.


Thats really really far away! How in the world did they discover that. It just amazes me! There is also a planet that "rolls" Im getting sick just thinking about living there...blaaah


Yeah i hear you apparently one of Jupiter's moon's would be considered a planet if it rotated the sun.


All these planets... Im sure there are other people living somewhere out in the Universe! It would be trippy to meet Aliens though, did you know that when earth was first formed. a Day lasted 5.5 hours long... and i complain about not having enough time in a day!


Right! Also more than 80% of earths natural forest have been destroyed. That's a lot of oxygen.


That makes me sad for mother earth! The fascinating thing is that if Earth entire history was reviewed as a 24 hour period, humans would only represent only a little over a minute... incredible right?


Very! Wow did you know that we have an official Ambassador to extraterrestrials?


Apparently September of 2010 the United Nation thought it prudent to do so just in case.


Wow, I would of thought that would of been in place hundreds of years ago when they first did contact... wonder why they waited so long to appoint someone "publicly"


Hi! I like the piano and the guitar although I don't know how to play either haha well I can do mary had a little lamb on the piano but that's it!


Right or they thought we were idiots and didn't want to admit what went on in area 51.


I know, its right in front of our faces and they still lie and hide it " its not what it looks like" in a creepy whisper voice...not in a helium voice apparently helium will no longer be available by the end of the 21st century. Anyway, fun chatting!


Right me too and chopsticks, well some of it. An aluminum grand piano was built for a lounge of the airship Hindenburg.


It truly is fascinating and I applaud all those that learn an instrument, Its a great form of expression and healing. even pianos have "stress testing" its a song that exists but its not remotely playable by humans, its crazy, I've seen the keys... there is no way a human can play that song! its called circus gallop


Wow that is interesting! What's more interesting is that the piano aboard the Hindenburg weighed 356 pounds.


There are a lot of interesting facts surrounding pianos which one of my favorite stories would be when the news had no stories to report and played piano music instead! Makes me wish we could turn on the TV and hear about Peace in the world, and listen to piano music. What a day that would be!


What a day indeed! Oh yeah that happened back in the 30's right?


Yes! so long ago! Have you heard the song "Hey Jude" by Paul Mccartney? It's one of my all time fav songs played with the piano.


I don't think i have ever heard that song. did it win any awards?


I dont think so but it should! I thinks its before my time but its one of my fav oldie songs! What would you do if you climbed the top of the highest mountain and find a piano there? sounds weird right? Its a true story! a mystery...


I never would of thought Tupac did Ballet


I know and to be able to act too in the Nutcracker.


Ballet is tough on the body if they go through 4 pairs of shoes a week


It would seem to be expensive too if you have to buy that many shoes. I wonder it they are expensive to buy?


they must be, I also did not know Bruce Lee was a champion dancer


And the cha-cha at that! Out of all the dances in the world, he must have really liked the beat.


I would hope that he would keep the beat but if he added extra leg movements he could have really looked like he was moving all over the place.


I wonder if he would give my jackson a run for his money even with his patented shoes?


Probably, except for the deep lean that Michael was famous for.


Nice talking with you too. Have a great day!


ot really But I do like operea and I have seen candide


Babies spontaneously dance when they hear music.


and smile I read that too, and I thought it was cute


Most everything makes a baby smile...or scream.


lol, I did not know tolkien you laugh you lose competitions when reading terrible poetry


he wrote lord of the rings and the hobbit


I thought that is who you meant. I loved the Hobbit. So different than other stories out there.


Hello - did you know a man was falsely imprisoned for 10 years studied law at a library to prove his innocence?


agreed.  amazon makes life easier for sure


I read that Jeff Bezos built a clock into a mountain that can run for 10,000 years.


I read that, too.  I wonder how big the clock is


I'm not too sure on how big it is. I love how the USPS has a contract with Amazon to deliver packages on Sunday.


Amazon workers walk between 7 to 15 miles a day.  Sounds like good exercise!


McDonald's added the drive thru to accommodate soldiers.  Interesting


Yep, pretty awesome he did that. I read that if you publish a book in Norway the government will buy 1000 copies to donate to libraries throughout the country


I agree, that is awesome.  There are more libraries than McDonalds.  Never would have guessed that


You can check out a sewing machine in the Sacramento Library


That's pretty cool. That would come in handy to be able to check out a sewing machine. I need one every once in awhile.


I agree, it'd be a cool thing to have available for things you only need on occasion


The UK prime minister founded a library at 85 and wheelbarrowed his personal collection of 32,000 books to the library.


That's really cool. The first amazon customer got a building named after him.  He only spent 27 bucks


Yeah he does seem like a quiet person, do you follow the government much?


Yup I'm constantly on google news looking at whats happening in the government daily


I think its important to keep up with the news, you know that 86% of the land in Nevada is owned by the government!


So do you think most of the city of las vegas is probably government owned too?


I dont think so, that is mostly private companies but who know I might have to Google that, maybe the own everything but Vegas lol


It would make so much sense they are just taking in all that casino money lol


It would, the government should donate more money to important causes then, just like the Norwegian government the donated $1 billion to save the rainforests


We definitely need something like that especially since our current idiot president doesnt even believe that climate change is real


Yeah he should take a look at the glaciers, did you hear about the plan the government had to destroy Wikileaks, ironic


They can plan as much as they want lol wikileaks will never go down there are already back ups of the site in different countries in case something happens it will go right back up from a server in some remote island lol


I honestly think he's a snitch when a person goes to court they have to agree on their legal defense's strategy. HE chose to point out he wasnt the true leader of the group instead he pointed at a man who is 70 years old an has never been caught before names Ismael mayo zambada.


They must be a pain in the government ass lol, I think its a great service, why hide the truth, the truth will always come out.


Snitches get killed terribly, so I unless he isnt afraid, he committed a lot of crimes, he is a smart man though,


He is very smart indeed. But I think mayo is smarter he didn't get caught trying to film a dumb movie about his life with sean penn after escaping and he made it to the old age of 70 years old by flying under the radar.


I  guess he is smarter than El Chapo, still escaping like two prisons in the way he did, being the leader of the cartel after being only a poor farmer


He never was the actual leader... This is how he snitched he pointed out the old man as the true leader. Chapo wouldn't have tarnished his legacy if he would have just chose to remain quiet and loyal to end and not snitch. This is what makes pablo escobar a much bigger figure since he was never actually caught he only turned himself in to his own prison he built. They had to kill pablo to catch him.


He was not? I must have my facts wrong then, maybe he pointed the old man because he wanted to divert attention away from him, and yeah Pablo made a similar mistake, he wanted a political career and that was the beginning of the end for him


If you have time watch the documentary on chapo's life on netflix you'll understand alot more. And watch the newest season of narcos they show that chapo was from the younger generation he started out working under the old mustaches


I guess I will watch it now, its an interesting story, has changed a lot of thins, it seems like El Chapo is not a violent person, he never said a bad word or acted violent according to Coronel


Maybe he knew that violence only brought more problems so he only used it as a tool when it was necessary to defend himself


Do you enjoy travel?  If so, what is your preferred way to travel (e.g., bus, car, and airplane)?


That's cool.  I'm a it & Engineering PM and a Ramblin' Wreck.  I've traveled to NC's research triangle a bit.  That's probably where the NFL tracking chips originated.


LOL! That's so awesome. I went into pharmacy and have hated it since Day 1 of student loan debt. Once I paid those and the house off, I really-really took a leap of faith and kind of/sort of told my boss I wasn't going to show up "in 23 days." Raleigh is super awesome. Just cold.


Pharmacy is a good solid field.  Raleigh cold?  I'm in the Midwest and it was 11 degrees F when I woke this morning.  Maybe I should rethink Iceland.  I could find a volcano for heat...


It was a solid field. The market is saturated and while I spent plenty of years with an amazing university health system it's still medicine. The ability to be on time and merely travel for pay is awesome. I think The Dutch might be on to something with that commuter bus that runs at 160 MPH.... And would be great in Houston traffic!


Hmm, didn't know that.  I hear the traffic is bad in Houston.  I have an uncle there.  It's no picnic in ATL. Yes, that bus would blow my trusty Volvo away.


Begs the question, who's really driving that bus? Got to be someone from Amazon Prime Now.


I'm thinking a retired NASCAR driver.  Definitely not someone from Mackinac Island.


lol - If it costs $300 to drive across Japan in tolls, I suppose we shouldn't complain about a $45 tab from EZ pass once a month.


Toll roads are an abomination.  Like we aren't taxed enough.  I can't believe the lifetime earnings of an engineer is higher than the average for an NFL player.  Where did it go?  Tolls I'm thinking...


PREACH. My oldest child is a chemical engineering major (imagine that, in Texas?!) with a part time job and **owes** almost $1700 in federal taxes this year. I have no desire to be a grandma but come on, taxes - and fees that are not called taxes but are legit taxes- are really ruining my kids' generation. It's infuriating. I'm glad none of my kids aspired to be pro cheerleaders because Paula Abdul's example.


I love to travel. I actually have my pilot's license so my favorite method is hands down a plane :D   Possibly I'm related to King Kalakaua from Hawaii with my desire to travel near and far?


I hear you.  I forgot about Paula Abdul... Don't get me started on taxes... Sales tax is crazy where I'm at.  In places it's almost 10%...


I'm kind of a fan of abolishing The IRS and instituting a national flat sales tax. There is no such thing as blue collar workers anymore - Merely those who eat on their own dime and those who do not. It's scary.


Yep.  Death and taxes... I've been a fan of a flat tax for years.  All American need to have skin in the game.  We have too many people that don't and only vote for people that keep them funded.


Super stoked to hear this reiterated in someone presumably much younger than me - I don't possess the time, energy or effort anymore to call a spade a spade and am staring down the barrel of late life, so please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of my generation for what we were too busy working to pay the bills to take up and tackle. In the interim, let's be grateful it's still legal to drive a car on our highways. 10/10 recommend the movie Somewhere In Time which was filmed there with Christopher Reeve.


I'm in my 50's.  I don't think too many millennials think this was but thank you. It was great talking with you!  Maybe we'll bump into each other in Iceland!


That's an amazing aspiration and I would buy you a beer. Or three.


You could travel to the Super bowl.  Who do you think will win, the NFC or AFC team?


Oh boy, I don't believe I'd be too interested in traveling to The Super bowl. Far too much testosterone for a woman like myself. I'm kind of pulling for The Rams simply because they have been the chosen ones lol. I find it interesting so many people aspire to play in The NFL while engineers still make more loot in the long run than players do. Then again, doesn't NFL stand for "Not For Long" or is that just a common misconception ?


I know plenty of women that like football.  Maybe the FIFA World Cup could be one of your destinations.  France is a cool country and they are the current champions.


That's interesting. My favorite sport is actually baseball and I'm an Astros fan. I'd also like to see Pete Rose inducted into the hall of fame ha-ha. I'd like to see baseball players and baseballs with tracking chips similar to what the NFL uses for their players to record movements of the players and the ball.


Wow, hi-tech.  I was born in TX.  Then Atlanta... I guess I have traveled quite a bit... I would like to go to Iceland.


Iceland is definitely on my bucket list, as well as Holland. I just returned from The USVI though so it would be tough to get me to fly anywhere that's not warm right now! Speaking of which, Mackinaw Island forbids cars which sounds rather goofy but given the climate of Michigan, surely it saves cash and the environment during their, what, 10 months of snow? Also, I highly doubt Michigan will have some Super bowl contenders in my lifetime.


I was flying at age 17.  Are you IFR rated?  I quit and used the money for college.  I'm not sure I would fly if I has access to a 160 mph bus.


Yes, I am IFR and a little more. I actually fly between Houston, Raleigh and Nashville 3 days a week. IT pros need to be bussed like cattle. It beats sitting at my "real" job for 5 straight and is a slow, pre-retirement/post-kids-at-home gig.


how's it going? Are you a big Netflix fan? It's been around since 1997, I didn't know it was around that long


Interesting. John Legend is nominated for an emmy too for "Jesus Christ Superstar"


No but  I hope John Legend get an emmy so he can add to his grammy,, oscar, and tony wins


That is good. Do you remember Julia Louis-Dreyfus?


Yea, I like her in Seinfield,sad to hear she has breast cancer


Yes, you are right, sorry to know that. I saw her too in Seinfield.


I'm not too big into the emmy's but I'm surprised to hear Sandra Oh never won one, she's been on tv for a long time


Well, that happens, do you remember the Old Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?


They have a new version, looks like, I guess Carson and all of them are old now. Nice to meet you.


Yes, I am, do you like Netflix? I love it, have you seen Game of thrones?


Oh yea, apparently it's on netflix and was nominated. Well it was nice talking with you too


I have seen some of it, I been pretty busy but I hear it's a gread adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire


I don't know, what I know is that they have a lot of nudes, lol, do you remember Anthony Bourdain?


Somewhat, he was a chef or something, right?


Right, he had a program called Parts Unknown


Yea, his show is nominated for six Emmys, I guess they want to give him one since he died


Yep, he commited suicide, so sad, have you been in South Louisiana?


No but I'd like to go some day and check out Mardi Gras or something


One of his lasts programs were filmed in the south in Mardi Grass


Did you know that summer was considered a bad time to release a movie?


I don't have Netflix. These days, I'm sure that sounds weird.


I don't either. I saw it at a friends house.


I heard that Netflix is losing a lot of money because of password sharing. Did you know Tom Hanks is the highest all-time box office star? I would believe it.


Yeah, that could be, they are creating a lot of their own content.


All the streaming channels seem to be doing that now.


Yeah, that is pretty cool. Do you use Roku?


I would definitely. You can also get Netflick, Hulu. I have Amazon Prime which has lots of channels.


Oh cool. Then maybe I will check that out. Are you a Tom Hanks fan?


I truly am. I draw charcoal portraits and I have drawn a picture of him. He is an amazing actor. I also like Robin Williams. I noticed he did a lot of movies about dying.


I think he is a great actor. Well, nice chatting with you!


Yes, it was until Jaws was released. That was a scary movie back in the day.


Yeah, that was a good movie. Did you like it?


I use to. I think I have seen it too many times now. Spielberg played the clarinet for the soundtrack.


Yeah, that is pretty interesting. Did you see the Goonies?


I have. That is a cute movie. I love how they get the jewels at the end to pay the mortgage.


It is pretty good. I'm fairly certain Stranger Things is a rip off of it.


I've never seen that movie. There are so many rip-offs these days.


It is a show on Netflix actually. The first season isn't that bad.


Hi, there. How are you today? Have you seen the movie Incredibles II?


She is an unusual choice. I figure they invest a lot in the scripts and casting because so much has to go into the animating.


Have you've ever seen Kung Fu Hustle? Bill Murray said it was a supreme achievement in comedy


I cannot say that I agree with Bill on that one. But I think he was being humorous. I haven't seen the film myself. I probably should.


Can't be worse than the Green Lantern film, the only way to make that movie worse would be to cast Jack Black in it


Jack is a natural comedian but probably wrong for that role. I wonder what Bill Murray would have said. Maybe he would have been good in it. LOL


Jack Black is pretty funny but he's no Monty Python, I don't think they will name any programing languages after him


Good thing he wasn't on Comedy Central. Comedy Central has cancelled over 100 shows  He would have no career.


Its astonishing that Comedy Central has cancelled so many shows since being founded in 1989


I don't understand either. Maybe it has worked for them though. Anyway, I enjoyed chatting with you! Have a good day!


Yea I should get going, think I will play some old NES despite it only being able to display 54 colors


No I have yet to see the Incredibles despite the fact it was released way back in 2004, have you?


No, I have not. 13 years before the movie "Incredibles II" came out, there was a sequel to the first Incredibles that exists in a video game form, and is called "The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer" I guess people just couldn't wait. For marketing, it's better to strike while the iron is hot.


I wonder if the Incredibles video game was as well reviewed as the movies


Good to know! The present day events of the Incredibles are set in the 1960s. That's a great period for clothing and architecture.


I heard Edna Mode was voiced by director Brad Bird, that's interesting


He voiced Edna during storyboarding sessions. The production team couldn't find an actress who could do the voice better than him. He's a natural.


Brad Bird also intentionally used artists who were going to be fired or about to quit, I wonder what they had to offer that others didn't


I guess they would be motivated to perform.


Bird does have some interesting choices, like casting Sarah Vowell for the voice of Violet Parr


What team does LeBron James play for now?


Thanks.     Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs chose not to go to one of those teams directly, instead staying in college for four years.


I guess thats an admirable decision I read that players at the end of their carreers end up in bankruptcy or under financial problems, its a good thing he has a career to back his winnings


True.    Not everyone is Allen Iverson, who earns $800000 a year from Reebok, and will get $32 million at age 55!


I agree, or Lebron James who can sign 90 million dollar deals with companies such as Nike


People will pay to see LeBron James in retirement!    Tickets for his high school games were often over $100!


Wow tickets were worth every penny then, that would be a nice story to tell, watching LeBron play when he was still in highschool and then watching him on TV


I think I would've preferred to see Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who had a vicious dunk that got the shot banned in college basketball for over a decade!


That sucks! the dunk is one of the greatest moves Basketball has to offer, good thing it isnt banned anymore


True, although the game has changed many times since James Naismath invented the sport!


It has changed a lot indeed, he was also a coach, a terrible one it seems.


He's headed to Los Angeles Lakers it seems although I dont follow basketball that much, Lebron is a great player though


He would probably not make it today, where 39 of the 50 states highest paid employees are a college football or basketball coach.


Well I guess pro players are paid better, at least most of them are.


That is true.    He got a huge contract.    Know what his salary will be?


Its like a 154 million contract so Im guessing his salary will be really high, I think he doesnt need the money any more lol he is loaded


Yeah, he is one of the best players if not the best, he has a 24 wins ratio replacement so that should help the team a lot,the Lakers havent made the playoffs in five season


Do you know who the coach of the LA Lakers is?


Yes I think the coach is called Luke Walton, I bet he is happy to have Lebron on the team, what an asset!


True.    Do you know how many teams are in the National Basketball Association?


It has a total of 30 teams, 29 in the United States and theres also a Canadian team


He also opened a school in akron, which was probably more than $6M. He's a good dude.


yup it seems like it, and he has always been good at basketball, even in high school people were paying money to watch him play


I cannot believe they paid between 100 and 120. That's nuts!


ya it is nuts! I wouln't pay to watch high school basketball but then again there is no one as good as lebron james at the local high schools haah


It might be cheaper than seeing him in the NBA though. Maybe they were playing the long game and saving some money.


lol good idea, I wonder if someone recorded him playing on a video camera? Maybe that is worth money now I'd be interested to see how good he was in high school


He was really good. ESPN aired his games on Friday night. I always felt bad for the schools he was playing. Some poor boy ended up getting dunked on.


ah interesting I'll have to check those out, pretty genius that he turned down a 10 million dollar offer only to accept a 90 million dollar offer from Nike a year later


Yeah. He later signed a $1B deal with nike. A lifetime deal!


that's amazing! He must be very relaxed with money! I know allen Iverson is also relaxed with money with his Reebok deal


I just saw AI at the sixers game tonight! How ironic. Nice chatting with you!


ya I do too, did you ever see Space Jam? apparently he's going to be in the new one!


I did not see it. Which is surprising since that is right up my alley. Did you ever see the original?


I did and it is good for a 90's kids movie, I can tell you that I will be definitely seeing the sequel!


I think LeBron is going to do well. Did you see him in train wreck?


no I didn't what is that about? Never heard of it


It is with amy schumer and he is in it. He got really good reviews, not as a basketball player but as an actor!


oh weird ok I'll have to check it out, I like that he gave 6 million dollars to charity that is nice of him


The first comment was to say it was going downhill?  That is so terrible! Talk about not giving something a chance!


haha i know right? someone was setting their standards a little bit too high!


That's for sure!  reddit obviously does well. I mean People made an online magazine related to it.


ive never heard of that! i wonder how successful it is


I don't know. They call it "The Redditor". They have it for people for free online.


interesting! did you know constantly clicking on links can actually form a real addiction? i guess reddit addiction is real


I didn't know it was the clicking that caused the addiction but I did know people could get addicted to being online.


yea i always thought it was the addiction to getting so much info on demand, but i guess you get some satisfaction from the clicking on links.


That's weird.  Then does it mean it's a good or a bad thing that you can get internet everywhere?  I mean, there's even internet service on the peak of Mt. Everest!


wow! i guess you really can never miss the opportunity for that awesome selfie!


i do! i like to kill time on there. do you?


I guess not!  That would be showing addiction though in my opinion. Here you are at the top of the world and you are clicking links on your phone!  Anyways, it was nice talking with you!


Very little actually. I need to spend more time on the site.  I know it's highly popular. I think someone said it has 542 million visitors per month.


i believe it, there are a ton of people on there posting things. 1.2 billion comments in 2018 alone. WOW!


That is a lot!  Did you know it was founded by some students at the University of Virginia?


i had heard that! i wonder if they got any money from that, i dont think they still run it


I hope they did. They deserve it.  Do you ever vote on content?


nah i dont really, i tend to just read stuff and keep to myself. a lot of people get really angry on there


I guess that explains the stat i heard. Someone told me that only a little over 50% of people who are on reddit vote on stuff.


and about 50% of THAT 50% like to get angry! thats the internet for you though I guess. even the first reddit comment ever was a comment about how reddit was going downhill! though that is kind of funny


Hi there, hope you are having a good day! Are you taking this survey on your phone? I'm not, but I really can't imagine not having a smart phone!


I guess Kanye West is really successful in this area. He's sings, writes songs and produces records. Oh, and he designs clothes too! I guess he could design clothes for his own videos.


Yes. I had no idea that he was born in 1977. I thought he was a lot younger that what he is!


He's been around a while! It seems a little strange to  me that he thinks humans created AIDS. I guess he subscribes to conspiracy theories!


Oh my. That is something else. I know he can be a good guy. I know he has given his mic to a fan in a wheelchair.


Yes, that was a really nice gesture! I"m sure it made their day. Seems he has a good sense of humor because he did spoof himself on Saturday Night Live.


I remember that spoof! He was making fun of himself interrupting people at awards shows!


Yep! Since it's not my favorite kind of music, I can't imagine who his song 'Gold Digger' sounds, written in a minor key. Obviously it's not common since it's the only one in the 10 ten that uses a minor key. How does it sound?


I like it. It has a good beat and is entertaining while it tells a story. I had no idea that he signed rapper Big Sean!


Me neither and I am really surprised that he gave up a full scholarship to Michigan State. He's obviously really smart to have a GPA of 3.7. I guess he is happy with his decision?


I would think that the good GPA is the reason he could make good music.  It was bold of him to turn down a scholarship to Michigan State.


I could not live without my phone! I lave to listen to rap music (which is a musical form combining rhyme, rhythmic speech, and street ventricular).


Oh, you may be right, if he was a music major! I listen to music on my phone all the time. I guess the power than it has ( more than what is used to power the whole nuclear ICBN deterrent system uses!) means we get to stream some great tunes!


Yes, I'm sure of that! Nice chatting today!


You do? I don't really like it too much. I know it has to have content, flow and delivery and is different from just a poem because it's set to instrumental music. But I often have trouble understanding the words they are saying.


I love it. Tupac was one of my favorites. His music is in the library of congress of "cultural significance".


It is interesting that it's roots go back to West AFrican oral tradition or praise-singers. We probably though we came up with the idea recently!


That's highly possible. Rapper Eminem's true dream was to be a comic book artist!


I guess all kids imagine doing something they loved in childhood. He did love Spider man!. I guess it's really gotten into the main stream culture when the judge from Michigan gave her ruling in rap. Of course, it was in a trail concerning eminem.


I would think so! I just learned that Busta Rhymes voiced Reptar in the 1998 Rugrats movie.


I didn't see that movie but I know which one it is. Did you see it? If you did, what did you think of Busta Rhymes performance?


I think I did see it and it was very entertaining.


Hi, have you listened to any good albums lately?


I played the flute and am taking piano lessons now. I've tried to play the guitar, but it was hard for me.


I tried to but I have to admit that it hurt my fingers just way to much!  Have you ever listened to Whitesnake?  I like a few of their songs and had no idea until recently that they had had over 50 different band members throughout the years.


I'm only familiar with the popular songs they released. 50 members is a lot! Did you know that a Hanson song became a most requested track on a Chicago alt-rock radio station because djs didn't reveal the band?


I did not know that!  I'm not sure what to say to that to be honest. I guess the song was really good if it got played on the radio station.


It makes me think about how bands can transcend different genres of music. I feel rock music has that ability, mainly because of the guitar. It fits so well in different genres


They mostly use an electric guitar so it can be used different ways.  What's interesting to me is that originally rock music drew heavily on the blues and even country music.


That is interesting. It's surprising to hear rock's 50s and 60s influence still today. The Beatles are still influential in most rock bands today


Yeah they are.  To me, good music never goes out of style.  I do like though that rock music is becoming more diverse and not just having a standard pattern.


I agree. Even within pop music, rock music has an influence. Lady Gaga's Born This Way album was way less pop and more rock. It was kind of surprising, but she's always had a rock influence underneath.


I like that album.  In a way, rock musicians have always been more ":real" and down to earth than pop stars.  I mean, take russia's biggest rock star. He kept his job in a boiler room while being a superstar.


I have to say that I have not unfortunately.  I haven't even listened to anything on vinyl.  Have you?


Despite the fame, he kept it humble. That's a true rock star.


It really is.  I was surprised to learn that Russia had rock stars to be honest though.


I really love the new James Blake album. And last year's Janelle Monae's album was so fun. What do you like to listen to?


I'm more old school. I like music from the 1980s and some jazz from the 1940's and 50's.  I'd love to listen to some music that was recorded  and made into bound books before 1948.


That really is old school! Do you have any recommendations?


I don't have any from the 40's and 50's but I would say Duran Duran if you like pop and Alabama if you like country.  If you like rock music then Bon Jovi and Def Leppard.  I do listen to a little Linkin Park. I was surprised to learn that their album was the best selling of this century.


I was surprised at that too, but I remember buying the album when it came out. They were kind of the first band to cross rock and hip-hop/rap, in my opinion. I remember that collaboration with Jay-Z was pretty novel at the time


I only know a few of their songs. I think they did one for the Transformer's movie that was really good.  Say, did you know that states can have official rock songs?  Oklahoma has one.


I had no idea states had official rock songs, but "Do You Realize" is great. The lead singer is great with the guitar. Do you know how to play the guitar or any instruments?


No I don't but I wish i did. I would love to play the piano. Do you play any?


Do you remember the Micheal Brown shooting in Ferguson Mo?  It was so heartbreaking. The Prosecuter Rober McCulloch said that he was impartial.


And Yes, Facebook and Amazon are amazing. Did you know that Facebook's color is mostly blue because the founder suffers from color blindness?


Oh wow, really? I didn't know that. It has gotten pretty big, I know it is worth over 104 billion dollars a few years back....hard to say what it is worth now.


I think it will be difficult to hold the higher levels. It is funny that Burger King had a promotion that if you unfriended 10 people you got a free whopper.


I heard that about BK, that was funny! I have always wondered id MySpace ever regretted turning down an offer to buy Facebook now that they so huge now....crazy how things work out.


It is. It is so accepted as communication that Iceland is rewriting their constitution using Facebook so that people can make suggestions and/or changes.


Wow! Before you know it we will be doing our presidential Elections on Facebook lol!


Funny. . ..We may getter greater voter turnout that way. We have not gotten over 63% in over a hundred years.


Right? I agree. We need more people to vote and do it right. Nevada even has a none of these candidates....check box on their ballots.....crazy


there is something unfair that with television, etc. The taller candidates have won since 1900.  So wrong.


Whaaat? That's just insane. The things people take note of...I wonder why that has been that way. I think the radio should make a comeback, maybe they could get some more information out to everyone instead of Fb and playlists etc. Elections need a major overhaul!


I remember too well, very very sad. And since the grand jury decided to not indict Darren Wilson for his murdering Michael Brown it caused so many protests, I don't think it was right. There was so much media about it on Facebook it was crazy!


So true.  And radio is such a great way to communicate. Did you know that Jupiter has radio storms so strong that the can be picked up on AM stations.


Radio is great! I still listen to it in my car. Wow, that is interesting, I wonder what station that would be on? I could just ask on Facebook I am sure someone knows lol


so funny! I wonder what radio station it is that you can listen to thousands of classic radio dramas for free?


You can? Wow, Another thing to Google. I guess in Canada it is mandatory or law I should say that all radio music needs to be 40% or higher of songs made by canadians.


Mcclloch cam from a white family of police officers and did not recuse himself. This outrageged every Black group that wants to see justice in the black community.


Yes, I read about that too. That organization is called Black Struggle. I am glad that during the election that Wesley Bell defeated McCulloch, maybe things will change.


I think he sent a clear message. McColloch had been in office for 30 years and ran last time unopposed. He was the incumbent and not winning should sent everyone the message!


Definitely! He won by over 50% so that tells you the people want change, especially after such a long time. I remember that case and that story, it was all over the news, Facebook, the radio, it needed to be heard for sure.


wesley Bell won over the incumbent. He pointed out on Facebook before the election; Let's show them what DEMOCRACY looks like. I think it was a positive campaign message.


I agree! Facebook is huge now that every person who needs the public to hear them post on there. And you can get all of your news there too. Amazing how much it has grown!


It is impressive also that Wesley Bell who happens to be black has also served as a judge and prosecutor.


That is very impressive! McCulloch always tried to make Bell look inexperienced...but Bell always had a great come back.


I didnt know that, she must be loaded, well both of them, their kids, grand kids and future generations are set for life


Brady is on the injury report every week. Wonder why.


Maybe is a strategy Belichick uses to confuse the other teams, that is an interesting strategy though


They do, they have won or lost by 3 or 4 points in the last 6 tries taking out the one of this year, close scores


Did you know Brady threw 50 TDs in one season.


Yeah he has a 50 record it happened on 2007, impressive record


I know right, so the Pats are the team with more SuperBowl victories but also the team with most losses


Well they are tied for most wins with the Steelers.


Yeah I love football. Im a steelers fan how bout you.


Oh so they are tied, well they are tied with the Buffalo Bills in loses as well.


My favorite team the Patriots, you know there is no written rule about females playing, I wonder if we will ever see one in the NFL


He is lol, great QB though, he doesnt like to eat strawberries so thats weird


That is a little bit weird. I bet ne never tried them with sugar.


Or with chocolate, he has a 50 touchdown record so thats admirable


Did you know bill belichick is the winningest coach in the postseason.


I didnt, but it makes sense, he has changed The Patriots, him and Brady


Did you know giselle makes double what tom does.


Well bull shark or crocs, both natural hazards of a golf course i guess


Yes lol. The US military operates 234 golf courses worldwide at a cost of $140,000,000 per year.


I understand the appeal of golf, but given the earth's finite resources it seem a bit wasteful from the land to the amount of water


Yea I agree. The United States has more golf courses than the rest of the world combined.


And the average golf course consumes 312 gallons per day. That is water that could save lives


Wow that's a lot of water. Do you like tennis?


I do, but I only recently learned they place tennis on grass


That's interesting. Until 1978, tennis players were allowed to use any object as a racket.


Anything? That is pretty cool. I can imagine people trying to use ladles and spoons for run


HAHA. Soccer makes more money than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis, and hockey combined.


Hello - I do enjoy sports. What about you?


While it doesn't feel like so in the US, it is on the international scale the most popular sport. In any case, thanks for chatting.


I enjoy all spots from tennis to football. How about you? Any in particular?


I love football and baseball the most. Did you know Antarctica has a disc golf course?


It's golf with a frisbee basically. We have a few courses where I live.


Yes I think it's called that too. It's called frisbee golf in my area. You basically have a 9 hole course and throw frisbees into these cages.


That makes more sense. I never heard it being referred that way so I got confused with it being a type of golf where you use clubs to hit balls into a series of holes


Did you know there is a golf course in Australia that has a group of bull sharks living in one of its water hazards?


Yeah, your consciousness would even retain your memories, cool


So do you like baseball. I am with the japanese who are surprised that it is our national past time.


I love baseball, yeah they were totally shocked!


Did you know that the manager is allowed to play in the gam. That why they wear a uniform.


Yep, but of course if absolutely necessary. Some of them aren't in the best shape!


Lol. that is true. I never really played baseball. I played kickball or as the canadians like to call it soccer baseball.


Yeah, i loved kickball i played it as a kid in elementary school


Me to. It was always a good time. Did you hear about the man who found 3 million dollars worth of old baseball cards in his grandpas attic?


WOW, i hope he sold them and got the money!


I think I might have kept a few of the most expensive ones. So how do you feel about dancing?


I do use it every day. DId you know that someone built a working 1 bit computer using the basic minecraft building blocks.


yeah, you're right! I love to dance i go dancing every weekend and you?


Yeah I love to go dancing. I hope you have a good rest of your day.


Yeah, i hope you do too, it was a great chat! Bye


Yeah, that is awesome huh? And that the space shuttle's computer only uses 1mb ram


Yeah there is more ram in my phone. That's crazy. The russians once built a computer that ran on water in 1936.


Wow thats cool, i wonder the world doesnt use it now. Talk about eco friendly!


I believe it was just used to measure for pouring concrete.


So have you heard of these transhumanist. They want to upload their minds to computers and memory sticks.


Yeah, they are already trying to make it a reality using AI


That would be cool if you could live in a computer. Sit in the den of the house so all the family members can come ask your advice for the rest of eternity.


Yeah it needs to go really. Did you hear about tracking the players now in the field?


Yes I heard they are using chips on the padding of the shoulders of the players when they are playing


Yeah and are collecting stuff like velocity and rotation and such. Wonder what they use them for


Well I am not sure but I sure hope they can use them to make the game safer and prevent concussions


Oh that would be amazing. Do you like Brady as a QB?


I do actually, he is amazing. His wife seems to make more than him though as famous as he is


Yeah that is true. He has never had a strawberry before


Wow that is interesting/ His coach lists him in the injury report every week even when he is not injured


WOw, that is something. In 2007 he threw a record 50 touchdown


I think that us when his fame kind of took off. Do you know who Alex Smith is?


I sure do. Did you know women can technically play too?


Yeah he is a QB and also completed college in two years, brains and talent


Yeah there is no written rule that prevents them from doing so


Yeah that is pretty cool. There are only 11 minutes of game time in there anyways


Yeah that us very short yet we are glued to the tv for hours waiting for the game to end


True. The football players seem to make less than engineers nowadays


I guess that makes sense since they have longer careers than football players


That is a good point. Did you hear about that rule for New Orleans cheerleaders?


Yes about them not being able to eat in the same place as the players. Weird


Yeah it is and it is sexist too. The worst is that they have to leave mid meal too if they walk in


I spend a lot of time on the internet. Probably too much. How about yourself?


I also think it is a good idea. I'm sure many kids lie and find a way around it though. Myspace turned down an offer to buy facebook for $75 million in early 2005. What a disastrous business decision on their part.


Yeah, I bet they are regretting it big time now although Facebook wouldn't be the same if they had bought it, who knows maybe it wouldn't exist nowadays.


I actually preferred MySpace. It was more personalized and I didn't argue with people on it nearly as much ha ha. I also don't remember all of the memes passing around false information all of the time on MySpace.


MySpace was pretty good does it still work? I might have to google that, its amazing how much Google has grown as well.


It's still there but it's not what it was at all. They keep trying to reinvent it and I think it's pretty dedicated to up and coming bands trying to get exposure now. Iceland are rewriting their constitution via facebook; allowing the public to make suggestions and alterations. I think that that is a terrible idea.


I think thats a bad idea as well, too many opinions and bad opinions.


Yes and people don't take things as seriously online as they do in person. I also use Google very frequently. Did you know it was founded in 1998? I would have thought much more recently.


Wow so its been more than 20 years, I didnt know that I also use it frequently, I mean who doesnt.


Everyone I know does. On 16th august 2013 google went down for about five minutes, and took 40% of web traffic with it. That shows how much we all use it.


Thats a lot! I also use google maps I wonder how they calculate traffic, its really accurate.


I do too, almost all day because of work and then some, its crazy how dependant weve become of the internet.


Apparently they track how fast android devices are moving on the road I never would have guessed that.


I agree. Did you know that the three horizontal line menu on apps and websites is called a hamburger button?


No idea it was called like that, what I did know is that you can get signal on top of Mount Everest.


That is very shocking. I can't imagine that there are towers anywhere close. Apparently the library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet in case the internet burns down. I can't imagine how much storage that would take.


It must take quite a bit and its refreshing to know there is backup in that library, would you imgaine the consequences of the internet being down?


It was be a national emergency at this point. We rely on it so much. Facebook is where people spend a huge amount of time. Do you use Facebook?


I do use it, not as I used to but I do, I remember there was this Burger King promotion I got my free Whopper by unfriending 10 people.


What a strange promotion that was. I don't understand what the point was. Did you know that you had to be 13 to register for an account? I did not realize they had age restrictions in place.


I didn't either, its probably a good thing since there are a lot of hidden dangers in facebook but I also think that depends on local laws.


I didn't  know that. Do you know what dance moves specifically that he patented?


Apparently it's when he would do extreme leans. I always wondered why he never fell over.


Oh, that is pretty cool. Did you know babies spontaneously dance when they hear music?


Yeah, I've seen them do it.  It's pretty funny.


Apparently from 9pm to 12am it accounts for 33% of all bandwidth.


I can see that. That's usually when I watch it too. Do you watch Netflix?


I don't, I used to watch it, I liked the show billions.


That's a good show. I heard between Netflix and Youtube they make up half of the peak internet traffic in North America.


I can believe that. They are really popular channels. Well nice chatting with you.


I do, but I am horrible at it. That much I must admit.


He was, did you know that Tupac danced as well?


Yeah, he was a ballet dancer in high school.


Interesting, I know he was also a back up dancer for Digital Underground.


Yeah me too. He is in the humpty dance video.


That was a good video. I heard Michael Jackson had a patent for one of his dance moves. I didn't know that was possible.


He was only 18 at the time. He later got huge offers from other shoe companies. He's not greedy though. He raised six million for charity with just a TV broadcast.


I heard about that, he is an awesome person. He has won the award for the NBA's most valuable player and MVP awards along with 2 gold medals in the Olympics to name a few, extremely talented.


I wonder whether he'll ever become a coach or a team owner. I would like to see LeBron do granny style free throws. Supposedly the best technique according to physicists.


I hope he does! But I guess he may want some time to just live life at some point. He is not one to just let go though so he will probably be around for a very long time. Right! Those granny style free throws are the best!


He's always had people following him. His high school games drew tons of fans. Tickets cost $100 or more!


Really? Wow, I guess it doesn't surprise me though, he is the best. I would have paid that much! I think I heard almost 2000 people would show up to those games, it is just amazing!


He didn't see any money at that stage, but the school probably made quite a bit. He was born in 1984, so he'll be 35 at the end of this year.


Wow, well I am sure he plays the game for the fans and not all for the money, so I am sure he didn't care. Lebron is one of the highest paid celebrity's as well as an athlete. His life has been full of accomplishments.


I wonder when we'll see another player of his stature. Well, I've enjoyed chatting with you!


I don't know, but he is one of a kind and we can only hope for more like Lebron. It has been great chatting with you too!


I am great! How are you? I was just reading about how Basket ball player Draymond Green was suspeneded over a verbal issue, do you like Basketball?


Yes, I do. Draymond porbably was shooting his mouth off. The league is trying to remain respectable so that it doesn't lose fans. He should be careful too so that he doesn't lose endorsements.


Exactly, you just can't argue while playing a game because like Draymond did with Kevin Durant, you are going to lose some fans.


I'm astonished that Allen Iverson has a lifetime endorsement contract. He gets a monster payout when he's 55.


Wow, that's awesome. I guess this argument was considered one of the worst ever and intense in the Warriors era,


Klay Thompson gave a speech to try to bring the team together. It's a team game with players that have to think about their individual careers. It's a tough balance.


Yes, definitely. Green has been pretty bad tempered on occasion. At least he was only suspended for one game. They need to think before they open their mouth for sure. Nba players are the best paid athletes so they should all be more careful.


The cost of shooting of your mouth in the NBA is high. LeBron rejected an offer for $10 mil from Reebok when he was 18. He knew his value.


Most definitely. Wow, Lebron must be pretty wealthy to pass up 10 million bucks. But I agree he's a star athlete. He recently signed a new deal for a sequel to Space Jam, that probably pulls in some great money!


Hey how are you, are you a big Redskins fan by chance?


For sure, the eagles football team had a court in their stadium for six years bc their fans were so bad.


And I though dodgers fans were notorious


For sure. People get pretty nuts about football. Do you watch any other sports?


Personally prefer to play rather than watch, but I do watch soccer and baseball. Tend to watch football more though


For sure, my alma mater, the University of Iowa has pink locker rooms to try and calm down the visiting players, I wonder how much that works.


I think it is probably the opposite to psyche the enemy out mentally


Nah, Hayden Fry had a psych background and it calmed people down instead of them getting all riled up. It's all over the news every few years.


Huh that is pretty interesting. Do you know what color the home team's lockers are?


Black and Gold, I've been through them before and a few people I work with work there part time.


That is pretty cool. Thanks for letting me know. Does those colors have any particular effect?


I wouldn't say a big fan, but I do know of them


I'm sure they do to some extent. It was great talking with you though, have a great rest of the night!


Do the Redskins still have Jay Gruden as a head coach?


Hopefully Alex Smith's leg is doing better, did you see what happened to him?


I have not. Personally, I follow the patriots


He snapped his leg in half, it was pretty bad. Hopefully that never happens to Tom.


Wow I didn't know that. What this during a live game?


Yah, JJ Watt was the DE that tackled him. Smith was the #1 draft pick in 2005 too.


That is a shame. I hope he recovers soon.


Hi, did you know that when the Earth was first formed, a day was only 5.5 hours long?


It used to be goats I think.  I'm not sure they still do that.  I can't imagine the vet bills and accidents.


That is a good point. I hope they just don't kill the goats when they fail. It would probably look better with humans and they defintitely have the money for it!


Did you know there is a 3g cell service at the top of Mt. Everest?  After the climb, it would be handy to have a pizza delivered...


lol, that would be awesome! I bet it is for safety and all the instragam people that want to show off lol


Are you familiar with Elon Musk and Space X.  I guess they are going to test a new internet strategy: beaming it down from space.


Wow, that would be interesting. Will it be better and faster, my internet sucks now lol


It promises to be more reliable and faster. There are some issues with space junk in getting this test done.


That is a good point, there is a lot of space junk that could interfere with it. I wonder if they would have that in the terms of service, and no one would read it.


I'm sure there are many issues to iron out.  Google has been thing about using satellites and even balloons for years.


right, that is a good point. That is why people are paid the big bucks. Did you know only 7% of people read the terms of service.


That is crazy, a lot has changed in the last 4.5 billion years! The earth is so fascinating.


Yeah, and I'm usually not one of that 7%.  They should provide a summary for non-lawyers like me.  Thanks for the chat! You were great!


Yes.  I didn't know that we are going to run out of helium by the end of this century!


Wow at least I won't be around for that lol, what will they do with balloons?!


I guess go for the glory (and fire) like the Hindenburg - use hydrogen.


True, I hope that doesn't go up in smoke also. Have you ever seen that video, you should google it


I have before... "Oh the humanity..." Things have changed.  A single Google search takes more computing than sending Neil Armstrong and  11 others to the moon.


That is crazy too! technology is getting faster and faster. Did you hear that google went down in 2013 and like 40% of web traffic went with it


Yeah, I don't remember that... It's wild that Google Maps calculates traffic by using existing Android devices moving down the road...


that is funny, I never knew that! Did you ever hear about who cuts their grass at the headquarters?


I think 8.5 billion total revenue makes all the movies pretty successful


WOW... that's a lot of money!  Love how fox lost billions because they didn't believe in the franchise!


It make Lucas a billionaire! The value of the franchise is 65 billion


Whoaaaaa!  chaching!  You see some of the star wars are on Netflix?


Yeah, I need to check out Solo. I havent watched that yet. Heard that also was received poorly


I am sure it is great!  These people are just haters... especially since Disney bought the franchise!


We can all agree that Luke Skywalker is the man though! Although he was almost a girl


Really?  WOW!  Well, glad they went with a guy.  Although Ren is pretty bad ass!


Yeah I cant wait to finish up her story. They kept Vader and Luke's story a secret even from the cast. Giving out fake scrpits. I wonder if they have any of the same tricks up their sleeves


I think it's a great idea and really hope they do!


Oh yes!  And was happy to see luke skywalker nack!


There are also a lot of other comic stories I would love to see on the big screen. Hopefully one day. Have a great day!


I still wish he had a bigger part. Some people are saying the last jedi underpeformed


We'll just have to hope episode 9 shuts everyone up


I am sure of it!  That's funny George lucas's wife won an acedemy award


I know and george lucas didnt! But she did have an influence on vital scenes. Including obi wan's death


Yeah i know, but still :)  That's cool, that they dubbed it in navajo language


I wonder if they still had james earl jones. You cant change vader's voice!


Do you have a Facebook account by any chance?


It is. I could understand if it was a dislike button maybe but not a like button. I don't understand several things places have done with Facebook. Iceland allowed the public to use Facebook suggestions to rewrite their constitution. That seems like a terrible idea.


Yes! That does sound terrible. Burger king gave away burgers if you unfriended 10 people. I wold have done it in a heart beat


I don't understand that one either. How did that benefit Burger King in any way?


They also sold $0.01 whoopers for anyone who used their mobile app within 100 feet of a McDonalds to place the order. So petty...


That is very petty. Off topic but do you like horses?


I am indifferent to them. I mean they are useful.


They are and very pretty. Did you know that Dalmatians are associated with firefighters because they would clam and protect their horses? What an odd trait.


I had no idea. I was just asked about that the other day. Now I know!


It is very interesting. I also just recently found out that Clint Eastwood had a mid-life allergy to horses. That's shocking when he did so many westerns.


I had no idea Icelandic horses have a 5th speed, tolt. Huh...


I was not aware of that either. I honestly couldn't tell you the four speeds before that.


I do. Did you know that you had to be 13 to make an account? Until recently I didn't think there was an age minimum.


I just check in about once a day and look through posts mostly. It's become a little too toxic for me. In 2012 it was valued at $104 billion! That's insane.


Yeah, that's a lot! I would sell and live on an island.


I can't imagine what I would do with that much money. Apparently MySpace turned down an offer to buy Facebook for $75 million in 2005. That was a very bad idea.


It may be why they are a dying company unable to rebrand themselves. I had no idea it was blue becuase Zuckerburg is color blind.


I didn't know that either. That's interesting. It's a nice color scheme. Did you know that there is a state in Germany where the like button is illegal? I wonder why that is.


Maybe their population became too mean so they banned it. It sound rediculous but is it????


SO cool. There is a sounds frequency that causes fear in us


Yeah I know that the black swallow fish takes its name literally and can swallow prey twice their size


Wow, scary. There is a fish that has a neck. Can you guess which one?


WOuld that be the unexpected seahorse? Most people do not think they are fish at all


Good point there, I can see why most people think they are just another creature of the sea


Exactly. There is a breed of jellyfish that never die


Wow that is amazing. Do you know who freshwater fish drink water?


Yeah they take the water through osmosis. How about saltwater fish?


I know some stuff like that we lost the body hair just 240 000 years ago


Yeah there are so many varieties out there.


Yeah that is interesting actually as it seems super recent to me considering we have been around for a while


Exactly. Do you know why we are good persistence runners?


That is because we used to be hunters and needs to run for long periods


Yeah. Did you know we cannot synthesize vitamin c?


Yeah and we are the only animals that are not able to do that


Yeah because we lack the enzyme responsible for that.


Yeah and just as strong as it used to be, after surgery to shorten it


ya I want to have a pet bat now! I like that the same actor has appeared as Chewy in all the movies, his name is Peter Mayhew


Yeah, i did know that and he's like 7 foot 6 inches i believe


yup the dude is huge, do you have Netflix btw?


oh haha I don't have it, I just watch youtube, but ya can't believe blockbuster had the chance to buy them for only 50 million!


i know... isn't that crazy!  Now there's only one blockbuster store left in the world and it's in alaska


ya that is sad, and also Netflix is worth like 2 billion, thats a crazy improvement in valuation!


true... but they are so responsible for the streaming movie industry being so huge!


yup that is true! did you hear the story of how netflix got started?


actually yes... how he tired of late fees and after a... what... like 40 dollar late fee started netfilx?


haha yup that's all it took, Reed hasting got that late fee for Apollo 13 and changed history haha


yes he's awesome! he's Han Solo's best friend and I always wanted Chewbacca as my friend!


Did you know that various wild animals were used to make his voice?


oh wow I didn't know that, also didn't know that he has a wife and 2 sons, weird!


yup he does haha, also there is a fan theory that Chewy and R2D2 are actually secret rebel agents


ya I know, very screwy, pretty funny that in real life there is a bat species called the chewbacca bat haha


Now i definitely never heard that one before... wonder if it looks like chewie?


Hi! Have you seen Justice League yet? If you have and didn't like it, don't bother buying it on 4k. Otherwise it's just two hours of "Oh what could have been ". DC and Warner Bros really missed a huge opportunity travel a mark on the world of superhero cinema!


True. I think it's cool Superman once wielded Thor's hammer because he was worthy. Indeed he is worthy, in my opinion!


I think that as well, he is the most powerful hero out there and refuses to kill his enemies, he would be a hard to stop villain


He most certainly would! Since we're on the subject of Superman, did you know it's illegal to name your kid Superman along with Metallica, Elvis, Ikea and Veranda in Sweden? That is crazy - like would they really arrest you for something that silly?


I didnt know that I wonder if many people wanted to name their kids after them, I guess those are popular names


I guess so! But you know, I'd like to read some of the Superman and Batman comics that Stan Lee wrote. They say he wrote 15 and even reimagined the characters!


Those titles must be really interesting, Stan Lee was a genius, Im sad he is no longer with us


I am as well. The comic genre will never be the same. He created so many characters I loved to read about, watch and even play on the Nintendo Entertainment System! Speaking of which, did you know it could only display 54 colors. Isn't that crazy?


That was a great system I really loved it, too bad the system got discontinued on 2003,


It's kind of surprising as I figured Japan had discontinued it long before 2003! Are you also a fan of Bill Nye? I can't believe he got his big break by winning a Steve Martin lookalike contest!


Yeah I used to like his show Bill Nye the Science Guy, and thats funny, he does look like Steve Martin do you agree?


I havent, but it seems like a great movie, DC and Warner Bros make a great combination,


I think he does and that's a great way to get famous by looking like someone. But then again, Ronald Reagan lost out on a role because a movie executive didn't think he looked presidential. How ironic is that? Ha! Well, it was nice chatting with you today! Take care and have a great day, friend!


That is ironic lol, he definetely showed them how mistaken they were, and you have a great day as well my friend.


Are you a fan of superheroes? I am and wish I could follow all 300 registered superheroes in the US. Ha!


I am a fan and didnt know there were so many heroes only on the US!! Thats a lot of them, do you have a favorite superheroe?


Honestly, I like them all but if I had to choose a favorite, I'd say Superman. Henry Cavill is my favorite Superman and I'm so thankful he didn't miss the call for the role due to playing World of Warcraft as he almost did. That would have been disappointing! What about you?


I like Superman as well, its a hard choice between him and Batman but the cryptonian wins the battle, he was created by Jerry Siegel,


Indeed he was! And did you know DC bought the exclusive rights to Superman for a measly  $130 back in 1938? That is unbelievable!


They sure made a great invesment, Superman must be one of the most expensive heors now, $138 sounds like a sweet deal


Agreed! Did you also know the writers didn't name Braniac after a preexisting word? They instead actually coined the term. That is pretty cool!


It is pretty cool, Braniac is one of my favorite villains along with Lex Luthor, both pretty evil


Hi!  Whats your favorite form of entertainment?


They are set in the 60's?  I thought it was supposed to be present times.  Ill have to look at that.


It's worth watching! It is a Pixar film that was distributed by Disney Studios and directed by Brad Bird. Also, Samuel L. Jackson has a role in it as well!


Yes he did. As a matter of fact, he also voiced the superhero costume designer in the film, Edna Mode. The reason being is during storyboard sessions, he voiced Edna and the crew thought no one could do it better than Brad. Ha!


That is pretty cool.  There is also a political commentator who voices a character as well.


Yes there is! Sarah Vowell is her name. But what's funny is a sequel was released in the form of a video game called Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer 13 years before Incredibles 2 was released. Many people don't know that!


That is kind neat.  Do you think that is why they use the ii instead of 2  for the movie?


I honestly don't know but that's a great question. But speaking of video games, did you ever play the Nintendo Entertainment System? It's crazy to think it only displayed 54 colors!


I did!  It was my favorite gaming system ever!


Same here! I can't believe it wasn't discontinued until 2003 in Japan. I figured it was discontinued long before then!


Hi! I honestly love them all! But in particular, I do enjoy the Comedy Central channel but absolutely hate that its cancelled over 100 shows since the network started back in 89. What about you?


Same here.  Well, Ive got to go.  Thanks for chatting.  Have a great day.


Thats only 3 or so shows a year over 30 years.  So to be successful thats what they gotta do.  But I love them!


That is true. Did you ever watch 3rd Rock From the Sun? I loved it and was so happy when it won the best comedy series at the Golden Globe back in 97. It had to beat out some fantastic shows but it was the most deserving of the award!


Yeah, it was great, although I do think Friends is better, but that is just my opinion.


Friends was great indeed. I also love the British comedy group Monty Python. You know, the Python Programming Language creator basically named it that to honor the group! I thought that was pretty cool!


That is pretty cool.  I do enjoy Monty Python, and the meaning of life.  :)


What about Kung Fu Hustle? It's funny Bill Murray thought it was the supreme achievement of modern age comedy. I kind of agree with him there!


I dont know that I do, I think it is good, but the best might be an understatement.


Speaking of movies, did you ever see Incredibles 2? I love how the present day events in the film are set in the 1960s!


Hey there have you ever watched the FIFA World Cup before


Right but I think it just cost so much money that you just never recoup it. Or at least that's what I've been told. Did you know that soccer makes more than all other sports in the world combined. Even American football


yeah I dont know why though,  thats a lot of money!


Oh for sure! Did you ever watch The Daily Show? Apparently Jon Stewart was a famous soccer player back in 1983


I never really liked it but I do know who John Stewart is. Did you hear about the German soccer player who donated his World Cup victory bonus to pay for the surgeries of 23 children in Brazil?


Yep it was almost three hundred thousand Euros actually. Have you ever seen a soccer game with three teams? Apparently that exists


No that seems really intense how do people even keep track


Yeah I have no idea. I also had no idea why Americans call it soccer when the rest of the world calls at football. Apparently soccer is slang for association football


that is really interesting,  football doesnt even make any sense the name anyways lol


Hello,  I actually have never watched it.


Nope it always made more sense to call soccer football in my opinion haha. When I drive to work tomorrow I'm going to listen for the Jupiter radio storms on the radio. What about you?


I've never watched it either. I don't personally like soccer a lot. I don't know why it is the most popular World sport that seems insane haha


yeah seriously I hear it makes more money than basketball, football and baseball combined.


Yep that's what I heard too. I won't be watching the World Cup in 2022 unless the USA is in it. And even that I probably won't haha


its on at a weird time for me though,  its like 4am or something.  That last world cup people were up so early lol


LOL that's true the time difference could be weird haha. I didn't know that United States got third place in the first World Cup back in 1930. I think their team sucks now doesn't it?


I actually dont know,  I know the womens team has never placed lower than 3rd in the world cup since 1991,  so at leasts theres that!


At least that's good. I don't know why cities offered to host the World Cup though. There's no net economic gain for doing so


why not?  all the business in the area make a lot of money and hotels?


Hello, are you a music fan? I am. I adore Linkin Park, and attended one of the 2001 concerts.


They sure are. Movies are so expensive to make. Tom Hanks has a draw of over 8.5 Billion. That's insane.


I though you might have been watching the movie Silence of the Lambs there for a second...lol


No, I wish, lol. It grossed 270 million when it came out. Not bad for an old movie.


As popular as it seems, Disney considered Sleeping beauty a flop according to sales numbers.


Imagine how the animation industry would be like today, had they have taken that route.Yet, Sleeping Beauty is one of the all time classics now


Did you ever watch Trojan Wars. I thought it was a horrible movie and it flopped in the box office.


No, I haven't. They had a huge budget too.


I think the movie only made a couple of hundred of dollars in ticket sales


I think so. That's awful. I thought Chappie was a terrible movie, and it did horribly in ticket sales too.


I wish they would do another remake of Silence of the Lambs; Red Dragon did not do it justice and missed the mark in my opinion at the box office


I agree. It's hard to improve on the original though.


I am going to go play my piano now. Thanks.


I did, (unlike the Creed concert that resulted in a lawsuit the following year) . I was saddened when Chester Bennington took his own life.


I have been to Croatia before but regret not going to see the ancient amphitheater there


I've never been to Croatia. However I've been to Pompeii. Unfortunately, not the day Pink Floyd recorded there.


I have not. Only tribute bands. I prefer movies, and saw The Silence of the Lambs on Valentines Day when it came out in 1991.


Silence of the Lambs is my all time favorite movie, then Saw.


I didn't care for Saw. I like Disney,  but hated Treasure Planet. I wasn't the only one, since it was a huge flop.


Box Office ticket prices are ridiculous these days


Think it was kind preppy clothing with a big "Apple" text on the front.  Back in 1986 so I'll let your imagination get creative with that.


LOL, that sounds awesome. I have to check it out online then.


You spend a lot of time online? I'm often on news websites. Read an unfortunate story of another shooting by police.


Not that much actually. I try to stay away from it. Do you go online a lot?


Yeah.  But should really stay away as well.  Just too depressing.  The story was filled with issues about miscommunication and racial bias.  Quite sad.


Interesting. Did you know 86% of Nevada is owned by the government?


Wow, did not know that.  Wonder how that works.  Sometimes think there's too much government.  By definition it should be a group of people governing an organized community.  In reality, not always the case.


Yeah, that is very true. It's also a lot of land to be owned by the government. Well, nice chatting with you!


Well, the norwegian government seem to have its act together.  They donated $1bi to help save the amazon rainforest.  Take care.


Interested in them though not really knowledgeable.  Love them for the ability to go through drive-thu. :-)


That is pretty cool of them. Take it easy!


Did you know you can put a flamethrower on your car in South Africa?


Scary to think why anyone would actually do that.


Ah, ok.  That kind of makes sense. An extreme precaution but I can see a reason... You have a favorite kind of car?  As a kid I had seen old pics of pink cadillacs and have always wanted one since.


Interesting. Do you know why they call trunks "trunks?"


Oooh.. I think I know this one.  Because old cares used to have wooden trunks on the back?


Yeah, that is true. What do you think about clothing?


Necessary?  Ha!  Actually I'm a big Project Runway fan so keep up with some fashion stuff.  Did you know Apple used to have a clothing line?


i like it when the US does well in the world cup. it is not a popular sport here, but it is a good sport for young people.


Absolutely. In 50 yrs., I've seen soccer introduced at local level I never thought I'd see. Cousins' kids play; go to matches. Don't understand the game too well, though. What do you like best about soccer?


you do not need to be tall or muscular. people that are slight can play. it is good for boys and girls.


Yes. That's true. No brutes required. Heard that soccer makes more $$$ than football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and hockey combined. Whew! It's that big?


it really is the global sport. everyone except americans follow it closely. it is a great sport, but a bit slow, and there is not enough scoring.


Americans would say that, but baseball can be a slow sport, too, don't you think?


yes, there is about 18 minutes of action in a baseball game. i can watch the highlights and get enough. i think baseball is fun to watch at a stadium


Agreed. Hotdog, cup of suds, sunshine. Great fun. Do you think TV has helped to promote soccer in the US?


Not enough. it is too slow. not enough spectacular happens. i think that people that play themselves get interested. i know that a lot of latinos in the US follow the game passionately.


Along with 250+ million players in 200 countries and millions more who don't/didn't play but are still fans! What is a corner shot?


Yes, watch FIFA World Cup matches here in US. How about you?


a corner kick? when the ball goes over the end line, the ball is put at the corner of the field. the offensive kicks the ball.


Yes, corner kick. This seems like a golden opportunity to score...Is it?


it is. it is a direct kick, so if you can spin the ball hard enough, it will bend into the goal. usually teams try to head it in.


"Bend it like Beckham?" literally, then? Did you ever have issues w/concussions? Should kids not head balls?


yes. um there is some concern about heading the ball, especially children. i havent heard about concussions.


Okay. Understand Qatar is hosting 2022 World Cup. Maybe that has something to do w/Saudi resentment...Who knows! I'll still watch the games. Thanks for so much useful soccer info.


Sure. Qatar is a rich country, but there have been problems with worker deaths. Anyway, thanks for the chat!


Too rich to sweat the small stuff and enjoy sports w/out international "incidents". Cheers!


i usually watch the world cup. i dont have much time to watch tv. i did play soccer as a kid though.


I see. Didn't know until recently that World Cup started in 1930. Saw France win in 2018 match in Sochi, Russia. You?


I saw the french win too. a great game. the french were not the favoriate if i recall correctly.


I think that's right. Did you know that, in Saudi Arabia, due to disputes w/Al Jazeera, the Qatari network that owns rights to air games, they created a pirate network so Saudis could illegally watch their team play. Didn't know there was politics involved in soccer, did you?


i expect anything as international as soccer would eventually become political. people love the game. they love their teams. it is a religion.


So I've heard. Nobody wants to miss a match. But the Arab states went to extremes, it seems. Wonder why they hate one another so much...?


i think that their govts probably stoke the rivalry. people love to belong to a group with a clear identity.


Well said. Perhaps follow a national team, too? As you said, sports can be a religion.


Do you still happen to still have an antique radio or phone?


He played the role of an infectious medical doctor


Yeah I do know that guy, hes a pretty good actor I thought other actors made more though


I am not sure about this fact.  Do you know that all Canadian stations have to play at least 40% of their music played by a Canadian


No I did not realize that. That doesn't seem to be a very successful business model for the station


I concur.  That does not make sense at all.  Btw, do you know that soldier in WWII made a simple radios using razorbalde and pencils


Those soldiers were very creative and resourceful back then


Yeah, hardship is the fire for creativity.  Do you like classic radio drama


I don't believe I have heard classic radio drama to be honest.


Do you know that Jupiter has radio storms that can be picked up and heard by us


What is your favorite television or movie drama?


Ohh, I see.  Do you know Hugh laurie, the actor


He is the highest paid actor ever for a tv drama


It is, all states should take a page out of Nevada's book and put the None of These Candidates option on the ballot.


I heard that US citizens can be so bad at voting in elections that one recently stated the reason for not voting was not wanting to spend hours doing something unlikable on vacation.


That is sad, astronauts can even vote from space, so some people have no excuses. lol.


Apparently younger folks generally overestimate the likeliness they will vote by 8.5 percent. They probably don't want to look bad admitting to not be voting, though!


I could see that, I wish more people truly understood how lucky we are to vote and not have a lottery appointment like in ancient athens.


I think there are lots of other places where there are Presidents without fair elections, right? We really are lucky to be able to vote in elections.


There are likely lots of places where there isnt a real election,  people take it for granted that they can vote.  I get out there every time because it is so important.


Well, I guess some people think millennials have ruined cereal, diamonds, napkins, marriage and divorce. Yet the same people have optimism that this generation will win politically. Who knows who could be president next...


You truly never know, although the taller candidate does win 75% of the time.  Hopefully a good visionary.


I think height can subconsciously command attention. That doesn't explain the cat in Virginia who placed 3rd in a Virginia Election.


Sometimes, do you? I just read how millennial supposedly ruined cereal, I guess that's a little political, but not like the elections or anything.


Perhaps people voted not thinking the cat would actually win, that is a crazy one.  Great Chat!  Have a good day!


Well it could be. It wouldn't be the first time something's been ruined by political stuff.


Very true.  People dont participate in voting, voter turnout hasn't breached 63 percent in over 100 years.


Politics and elections can be so dramatic, too. Sometimes it's lighthearted though, as I heard a dog has been they mayor somewhere for over a decade.


I heard that too, somewhere in Arkansas possibly.  I do enjoy some political satire though.


Also, presidents are less educated than I thought. I recently heard that only Woodrow Wilson has had a PhD.


I also think the last one to speak a language fluently was FDR.  Crazy, I would have though they were more educated.


Our voting system really needs to change. Five or more presidents lost the popular vote and were still elected. That's terrible!


I think he would have make a good artist, but he is a better rapper. i dont really follow superheroes.


Yes true. There was a comic series about fixing collateral damage caused by superheroes!


That sounds like a terrible job! fixing up messes, gettting none of the glory.


Yes I agree. Not the most glorious job. There are over 300 registered superheroes in the US. How do you even register become a superhero?


I wonder. that would be a cool birthday present. "Hey, here ya go!"


Yes that would be very cool. There's even a Garfield book series spinoff named pet force which featured Garfield and the gang as superheroes.


Yeah, garfield needs a boost. not terribly funny. might be a good superhero though.


Yes I agree with you there. I like how each comic often has at least one super villain who is often the superheroes archenemy.


Yes, i guess that helps drive the narrative forward. the conflict between the two gives rise to a story.


Exactly. It makes victory all that much sweeter. Stan Lee wrote 15 DC comics reimagining popular superheroes like Batman and Superman. It was great talking with you this morning.


Good morning. Yes I love rap music. It's essentially a musical form of vocal delivery.


Yes, i enjoyed chatting! have a good day.


I am not really a fan of rap music. i prefer melody and harmony. who is your favorite rapper?


Got it. I don't really have one. But Tupac was definitely one of the greats. His music is in the Library of Congress of cultural significance.


His music was the voice of a generation. he changed a lot about rap. he deserves recognition. too bad he is gone.


Yes you are correct. Tragic that he died. Eminem is also a great rapper. A Michigan judge delivered her ruling in the form of a rap when trying a suit against the rapper.


That is funny. i guess the judge saw her chance to get down with her bad self. LOL


Haha yes indeed. Korean rappers invented a new type of freestyle called compliment battle. Sounds very nice!


that sounds very nice. being respectful to others. i wonder how you win.


Whoever is the nicest maybe? Eminem didn't always want to become a rapper, he wanted to be a comic book artist! He loved the superhero Spiderman. Do you like Superhero's?


Hi, I am astonished, I didn't know that there are stars so cold that we can touch them with our hands, incredible!


I guess so. He was really famous and I think he could disguised himself and not to be stuck in the same role. Do you like to go over there? I don't know if Carol Burnett has been there, though. Perhaps they just take young celebrities.


And Carol Burnett was the first celebrity on Sesame Street right? Do you know what other shows she did, I think that was before my time so I've never heard of her before


Oh, she had her own show, I used to watched her, she was hilarious, but really hillarious, it was the Carol Burnett Show, with Lyle Wagoneer and others, she had one or two episodes that it killed you. In one she was mimicking Esther Williams, entered to the pool and when she came out, she was taking out alive fish from her cleavage, so funny!  Do you like country music?


Country music is ok. It's not my favorite but I can listen to it. I think it's so weird that Henry Ford helped to finance it, he was worried about the"Urban decadence of jazz music but I don't know what that means


Well, he didn't like jazz, looks like. I am not a huge fan of country music, but I certainly like the instruments that they use, acoustic guitars, stell guitars, harmonicas, and they have different ways to use it for, by singing happily, dancing or the crying ones.


Well it's interesting to me, because I play guitar, that this Fender Stratocaster was actually intended for country music, it's definitely not that way today


Oh, I have always wanted to play guitar, perhaps one day. I didn´t know that the famous U2 started playing with disguises in Galveston TExas,as the Dalton brothers! the lengths people go to make it!


No I didn't know that!  I wish that we could touch them in concert, but they use disguises so yeah you would never know. Haha.  Also interesting is that only two black people are in the Country Music Hall of Fame.


Oh, I bet!  But Country music has a lot of origins, it is a blend of Irish, Celtic, English ballads, cowboy songs, etc. I always thought that it was just from the Southeast of USA!


That's what I thought too! I know sometimes people call it quote Hillbilly music quote but I think that's a derogatory term personally, like you said, it encompasses so much more than that.


That is crazy! I sure wish I could hold a cold star my hand right now haha. have you heard the theory that the universe is just a giant hologram?


Yes, I have heard it as a Hillbilly, well, you always will find somebody trying to feel superior to others, I am giving you an excellent, thank you, you were great!


Thank you you've been excellent as well and make sure to check out George Strait, I guess he's cousins with Jeff Bezos, I can only imagine that they're both loaded haha.


Yes, I have heard about it. The question is that the more we investigate the universe, the more incredible results. And what about the theory that there is only one electron in the universe, and all of the electrons that we have observed?


That is another interesting Theory. I know that Elon Musk believes in the Hologram Theory. So that makes more sense to me, I don't even know how the one electron in the universe theory would work. Do you think that there is a region of space that's pulling galaxies apart?


Yes, I think so, it looks like the Universe is hugeeeeee! Is interesting too, to know that Universes evolve with natural selection, like species here in Earth.


That is interesting. They need to put that in a TV show, and have battling universes LOL. It's cool that scientific models of the universe were created by Greek and Indian philosophers, and put Earth at the center, and today of course we know that the sun is at the center


Yes, what I wonder is about the flat earthers theory, I guess they could think too that the Sun is still is around the Earth. It has been a long way of studies in order to bring us were we are now.


Yes I agree with you. Did you ever watch that show that showed the Universe? I forgot what it was called. But it has a good celebrity who would narrate it, do you like any celebrities by the way?


Cosmos. I am old enough, with Carl Sagan. I liked him, yes, I like some celebrities, Alec Baldwin, Michael Jackson, Meryl Streep, De Niro, Carol Burnett, Robin Williams, that happened to be the voice of Aladdin. And you?


Yep you're right haha. Yeah I like Robin Williams, Michael Jackson, Michael Caine, Al Pacino, I guess I have a lot too. do you think Robin Williams ever got to visit the secret Pixar celebrity room?


Hey have you heard about head coach Joanne Boyle?


No he was actually losing coach for his university, he should have invented the game differently so that he could win all the time LOL


Right LOL, looks like he messed that up.  I didn't know the dunk was banned from college b-ball for awhile.  Must have been boring to watch!


Yeah Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was just too good at it haha. What do you think about the highest paid employee in Most states being that of the college or football coach?


That seems a little crazy.  But that's sports for you.  Nothing I can do about it.  Seems like people with the most important jobs should be the highest paid...but oh well


Yep you would think that. What do you think about the government? It seems very wasteful in my opinion to be paying coaches that much money


I guess they justify it because the sports programs bring in a ton of cash.  I don't know though.  I guess they could always try to sell the Eiffel Tower to pay for it


Haha you should see how that guy did it! He sold it not once but twice, I wonder how much he got for it
