    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Is this thread being bumped an excuse to come up with a ton of random stories, theories, and other cr@p?
    If so, I will be thinking it over all night, and be back tomorrow.

    “A few days ago I was at this huge trampoline park called Hangar 15. The workers seemed like great guys, but oh, was I ever wrong.
    As I was jumping, I saw what I thought was a can of matte black paint behind an “employees only” door as a employee walked out. I tried to investigate further, and as I crept up to the window next to the door, careful not to alert anyone to my presence, I looked inside and saw an entire wall, lined with shelves of black paint cans. I knew immediately that this entire operation was illegal, and that someone had to do something about it. So I decided to do the best thing I could do. I called the police. Within 15 minutes, the entire police department from every local town, along with several military trucks, helicopters, and even a few tanks, had arrived at the park. They managed to get all of the people who had come to jump for the day out, and then began to move in. All the employees immediately got down, and admitted to their crimes, but the manager tried to give them trouble. He was immediately hand cuffed, and was carried off to prison.
    All the employees were sentenced to 5 years in prison, and the manager was sentenced for life.
    The police found 243 full cans of paint, 31 cans which had been opened and partially used, and 1,587 empty cans. They could not figure out what they had done with the paint from the empty cans, although they have guessed that it was used to paint all of their locations, as the walls is side are mostly black.
    The 243 full cans of paint are being held for evidence, but are going to be auctioned off in the upcoming months. Officer Jonothan Alderson says “we wanted to keep all the paint as evidence, but after careful consideration, we will be auctioning it off on December 1, 2018, at 2:00 PM.” The estimated value of just one of these cans of paint is 1.2 million dollars.
    The 31 half full cans are to be sent to the best scientists for them to try to come up with a synthetic replacement, although none seem to have high hopes.
    This news is just one example of who could be hiding black paint. Hangar 15 was known to be a great place until now. Who knows who could be next? GoodWill? Your dentist? Target? Publix? Any one of these places could be hiding their supply from the public.
    Thanks for reading,
    Micah.”

    So how was that? We don’t know who could be next. All we know is that we can trust no one when it comes to black paint.

    Jace, you have to go through the fire swamp and fight the ROUS’s who guard the tunnel to Titanic. There, you will find black paint.
    Also, just a tip, don’t bump old threads like this. You’ll get flagged as a spammer.

    I knew this question would come :|
    Fortunately, my wife is still out of town birding this week -- otherwise, I would have had the following, awkward conversation (artist's conception follows):
    Mrs. H: "Dear*... why are you going down into the basement with a camera?
    mrh: To take a picture of some black paint.
    Mrs. H: heavy sigh

    2wf7iihnvrui.jpg

    GPS turned off on the camera -- you'll never find me, bwahahahahahahaha!
    UPS and FedEx can't... :#
    ___________
    * Any conversation that starts with her saying Dear either means I am in trouble or she's totally flummoxed by whatever she observes me doing.
