 James:  what will?
 Robert:  You will never have that job
 James:  bitter bob
 Robert:  just pulling a page out of your book, nay saying
hey fuck you buddy, you are the one who always nay says.

 James:  you will never know the location of my workshop or supply chain.  It will be a lockbox of mystery
 Robert:  "Another thing about the lock box, you might think you know the location of the lock box, but you do not.
 me:  indeed

HALFPIPE SKIING IN THE OLYMPICS 4/6/11

James:
HALF PIPE IN THE OLYMPICS, FUCK YA BRA'

Robert: ya thats tight, I know you are being a little ass about it, but it is tight.

James:
haha. I'm sure thats what the greeks had in mind alcoholic, stoned long hairs doing flips in snow

Robert:
Get off your high horse. The Greek Olympics were a bunch of naked gay dudes rubbing up each other with no chicks allowed. When you can get a sprinter, or any other athlete, to hit a half pipe and get 22 feet of air then you can talk.

James:
Gay dudes... The way it should be

Robert: haha, look at Bode Miller, or Michael Phelps, they are both premier athletes and smoke that ganja

James: I know, I'm just referring to cultural differences

Robert: as far as I am concerned professional pipe and park skiers are elite athletes and you would have a hard time arguing otherwise.

James: ......Bob's a fag

Robert: ah the one angle I didn't prepare for...

MEMORY
0/06/11

James: my memory is getting delivered today

Robert:
oh, think you will remember anything important?

James:
we'll see... I was not expecting a joke, thought it was too easy'

Robert:
that joke was gold

James:
twas not

Robert:
twats
twaz

CONCERTS

JBT red rocks?

James: ?ehh maybe when

Robert:
not sure

James:
spanish question

Robert:
that is top 3 concerts I have ever seen
guy it talented

James:
can i pelvic thrust in the crowd?

Robert: its not the Olympics

James:
shit, check on that and then i'll let you know

Robert:
looks like we are heading for a government shut down

James:
told ya, what does schuesler think about this

Robert:
havent talked to him about it, all the dems fault

James: of course

BECK and MILLS

Robert: Glen Beck too radical for Fox?

James:
a hint of progress

Robert:
nah, maybe for Fox, but not for America. Wherever he goes he will have more people listening to him than any rational person can ever dream of.

James:
he will go on after Rush Limbaugh

Robert:
The fact that Limbaugh is still alive is a medical mystery.
The guy has to have a heart the size of a watermelon.

James: ahaha name this movie "Guy must have had a heart the size of a canned ham"

Robert:
I think that is from se7en

James:
you googled it, and yes thats what its from

Robert:
I did not. I watched that movie on Monday for the first time ever

James:
did

Robert:
and that is where I got the watermelon quote

James:
isn't that convenient

Robert:
except I couldnt remember what he said, so I said watermelon... honest truth. I often google, but not this time.

James:
who said it?

Robert:
Mills
Pitt
Detective David Mills

James:
haha correct

Robert:
I though Morgan Freeman was the killer the whole time.

James:
you could barely hear it when he said it

Robert:
it stuck out in my mind, as it did yours apparently.

James:
takes an astute knowledge of Pitt to pick up that line
I should know that any quote you make is from a Pitt movie
haha, that ones one of his better performances, played an ignorant prick well


GEOLOGIST are Queers

James: scroll about 1/4 way down
http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Geologist

Robert:
alcohol?

James:
no the picture on the right side, less than a 1/4 way down i guess

Robert:
ah pitt

James:
as a geologist

Robert:
your favoirte geologist portrayl

James:
it was

James:
yeah Harry Stamper was pretty cool

Robert:
or perhaps the best ever

James:
A.J, not so much. He was a little green

James:
he was a geologist

Robert:
nay

James:
yah

Robert:
GOOGLE QUEST!

Robert:
hahahahaha

James:
just took an office poll, unanimous choice was geologist
rockhound

Robert:
haha says the geologist in your hole in the ground

James:
at the beginning of the movie Lewis was a silver prospector for the USGS, dont know many PE's who did that

Robert: He is based on Edward L. Doheny
Who also worked for the USGS
however he was involved in drilling and devised drilling and production methods
so I would have to say that he was both
more of a geologist though.

James:
like most great men
have you seen the mansion he built

Robert:
nope
only the movie version

James:
google the Edward L. Doheny mansion in L.A

Robert:
haha jesus
that is how an oil man lives

James:
thats right
rub it in everybodies face, thats what i would do
do you know how to interpret compresional strength data? Youngs modulus, Poisons Ratio ect?

Robert:
although I remeber all those concepts, I would have to do some reading before calculating them again.

James:
thats what i have. I just want to know what I can do with it in a presentation in terms of reservoir quality ect...

Robert:
you are welcome to my res 2 book, but I cant help you out haha

James:
damn

Robert:
ah brazilian tensile stregnth

James:
does that mean its been shaved?

Robert:
waxed generally

James:
take note, thats good comedy

Robert:
haha ok

Robert: any plans for the weekend?

James:
work on a presentation that i have no idea what i'm presenting on yet

Robert:
Just get a strobe like and some puppies
you will be ok

James:
james' music pick of the week
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09zBftEqBN0

Robert: do you like Kid Cudi?

James:
haven't heard much

Robert: buy a bike yet?

James:
no, i already have one
just not a road bike

Robert: I cant imagine you riding a bike

Robert: unless it is and old school one, like on the fat tire bottle.

James: i ride a mean bike

James: i've been doing a lot of rides recently

Robert:
mustache?

James:
poor comedy, too predicable

Robert:
my comedy puts you on your ass at every step

Robert: COMEDY! BAM!!!!

James:
haha that was good

Robert:
My comedy can not be denyed

James: i think of myself as a fire hose of cerebral quips and izums

James: Liam Gallagher thinks he is pretty hot shit... the only downside to this band
Liam Gallagher
I dont like Oasis
I like them but

James:
you will by the time im done with you

Robert:
I think all their songs sound the same
no I have tried
I listened to them a lot
and I just dont like the singer

James:
that would be liam

Robert:
indeed
but if I said I dont like Liam you would ask why
and I would then say, "I dont like his singing"
it sounds like he is hammered and has a family of foxes living in his throat
and I dont like the over trebeled music
In that video you just sent me you cant make out a single word he is saying

James and Bob's conversation about a recent UFO sighting in Boulder

"Me" is James is this conversation. and "Robert" is of course Bob.
       Recently there was a reported UFO sighting outside Boulder, Colorado.  Upon showing Bob the Youtube video, the following conversation ensued.  It details Bob's stance that aliens do exist but have never been to Earth, and James' stance that aliens exist and have been to Earth.
12:45 PM Robert: If the solar system was drawn to scale, and the earth was the size of a pea,Pluto would be 9 miles away and the size of a bacteria. Pluto is 1/50,000 of the way to the edge of the solar system.
  aliens do exist, but they have never been to earth.
12:47 PM me: thats imposible to know, the earth 4.6 billion years old
 Robert: It is statistically impossible given our current knowlege of the universe
  until that changes I am sticking by the conclusion that aliens have never been to earth
12:48 PM even if they could travel at near light speed it would take 20 years to get to the closest earth like planet
  thats .999999999 light speed
12:49 PM in earth years it would be thousands of years
  and why would a race that ineligent just hang out in red lights
 me: your assuming that they travel like we do by some sort of vehicle, there are more than three dimentions in the universe, they can travel that way
12:50 PM Robert: very true
  but given our current knowledge of the universe this is impossible
  therefore given the information I have come to the only conclusion possible.
12:51 PM me: it should be the exact opposite, we know so little so there is some much more that is possible
 Robert: you cant make a conclusions based on unknown data
 me: im a geologist, thats what i do
12:52 PM Robert: if I told you there was a high posibility that there is a highly advanced race of mole people that live 1200 miles under the surface of the earth would you believe me?
12:53 PM me: no because i know 1200 miles under the surface is molten rock
  cant live there
 Robert: oh ya
  have you been there?
  you are using the same logic against me
12:54 PM me: the data supports it, seismic S waves cannot travel through liquid
 Robert: so you are using aviliable data to make a conclusion?
 me: there is also a geothermal gradient, gets very hot the deeper you go
 Robert: indeed, I know all this
12:55 PM me: a mole being a mammal cannot live in those conditions
 Robert: I was just trying to highlight to you that using data you can say there is a very low possibility of mole people.
12:56 PM checkmate
  hahahahahaha
 me: im not done yet
 Robert: waiting...
12:57 PM me: i still a a wrook and bishop in play
 Robert: I have your queen
 me: queens are week and emotional like all women, i;m better off without here
  her
 Robert: it will take some pretty fancy manuevering to get out of this one
1:02 PM me: probability would state that in a never ending and continuously expanding area there cannot be only one form of intelligent life. We are most likely the dumbest form of intelligent life. based on the fact that there are more than 3 dimentions in the universe time travel is possible. if some form of life has figured that out they could come and go as they pleased without us knowing. or until some hippy in boulder acidentally spots one. the being driving that ship prob got chinese style executed when he got home
 Robert: typing typing away, what will he say?
 me: for being spotted
1:05 PM Robert: 1st point, I agree there is most ceriantly other inteligent life. We are probably not the dumbest form of inteligent life, that statement in itself is a contradiction. There are more than 4 dimensions. Time travel backwards is probably not possible. IT would create a paradox, although if there is truly an infinite number of paraelle universes then you could travel between them and perhaps a universe exactly like your own but seconds in the past.
1:08 PM So in conclusions, knowing the unimmaginable distance that any life would have to travel, and given universal max speed of light, there is a very low (statistically impossible) odds that other life has traveled to earth. Also the fact that we have never picked up on any alien transmittion and even if they were watching us through a telescope they would be watching Christoper Collumbus sail the ocean blue, not our advanced technology we now have.
1:10 PM me: ahhh queen to Wrook/Knight three, good move
 Robert: those lights were something else first, something statistically more probable. If you can prove that they were not airplanes, flares, swamp gas, a hoax, or even the spontanious combustion of oxygen in high atmosphere (all of which have a higher probability) then maybe I will consider your hypothesis of alien life.
1:11 PM me: engineers have no imaginationRobert: ok it was aliens
 me: i'm not saying it was
  but it could be
 Robert: it was a whole ship full of big titted super model aliens that want your seed.
1:12 PM me: also if you look at the video the lights form a triangle shape, but the interlimb angles of the triangle change through the video.
  haha
1:13 PM it starts out isosceles (much like the shape of my head) and end in a right triangle geometry
 Robert: hahah
1:14 PM me: why the shape change?
 Robert: That was a classic JT quote "Go talk to that girl"
"Oh, I cant talk to her, she has a whole additional angle, shes got 90 deg on me."
  make a triangle with you hands
  now tilt that triangle away from your face
  the angles change
1:15 PM me: a solid object cant change shape like that
 Robert: sure it can
  if it changes angle of attack
1:16 PM and who said it was solid
  looks like flares on parachutes
1:17 PM me: its like lights on the corners of something like a plane they are in a fixed position
1:18 PM me: look at the video again
 Robert: dropped from a military trainerme: damn that was a good counter video.  I've lost my bishop.
