In summary, there is a discussion about a commercial with Robert Conrad and a battery on his shoulder, and the conversation turns to the presence of a chip on one's shoulder. It is revealed that one person has a chip on their shoulder because they are never happy or satisfied, while another person's "beef" is with the "hams" out there. The conversation also mentions a Duracell commercial with Lee Majors and a quote from Kunfuseshus about being asked questions at the top of a mountain. One person also mentions having a cement block on their shoulders for strength.

Remember the commercial where, I believe, it was Robert Conrad, and he had a battery or something on his shoulder and dared for someone to knock it off?

Well, I have one, and go ahead, knock it off, I dare you!

Do you have a chip on your shoulder, and if so, what is it?

I think it was a Duracell commercial with Lee Majors, but I am not positive.

Sure, I'll do my best to knock the chip off your shoulder.
What's your beef?

My beef is all the "hams" out there, argh.

Kunfuseshus once said, as he was near the end of his life, "i just could never have imagined that so many dummies would go to the trouble to climb to the top of the mountain to just ask me a question that I had to make up an answer for. Geez
