    Holy crap, I should have stayed cozy in bed.

    But ironically, nature called, I got up, and while I was up, I released this episode (somewhat) ontime. Now, off to grab a few hours of sleep.

    Goodnight moon.

  2. Vanamonde Says:

    Firsties

  3. Vanamonde Says:

    Official ~ hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

    Cough

  4. Ed from Texas Says:

    Ah, a fresh day in deadpan land. Not even a total lunar eclipse can keep the Deadpan from rising.

  5. JohnBoze Says:

    I got me a Deadpan for the commute! Yay!

  6. Ed from Texas Says:

    “Peeing like Superman…..”

    If you guys are ever listening to the news on a Thursday morning, and hear about a massive wreck on 610 in Houston, you’ll know I’ve finally been killed in a fit of laughter while driving in.

    I’m afraid we’re going to have to put a warning sticker on the podcast.

  7. Rhettro Says:

    Yeah, a new Pan to start the day!

  8. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan!

    Quick hop in before going for brekkie with my Boo.

    Did we all watch the lunar eclipse last night?

    Went to a preview showing of Vantage Point. It was quite good. We really enjoyed it.

  9. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Darn. Deadpan did not download from i-tunes. Will have to try from the site.

  10. Rhettro Says:

    Jack: Awesome episode! I haven’t laughed that hard in a while and I’m totally bummed I missed out on last night’s comment asplosion.

    Andrea: LASIK, we had a pretty long discussion on the topic on one of the comment strings. Is it still there to be searched?

    Anyway, bullet points:
    1. Disclaimer: Your body, your eyes, your decision.
    2. I had LASIK and had a totally positive experience and I would do it again.
    3. Brian Brown had complications, something to do with “rogue cells” and has had many surgeries to correct it. But, his eyes are still healthy overall. He would be a good person to talk to about the risks.

    Leann: Flashing is always encouraged.

  11. P.C. Haring Says:

    Leann is so not deadpan. It’s a great point/counterpoint to Jack. I was going to say that She’s the ying to Jack’s yang…but given the deep analysis of the mens room….well…it takes on a whole new meaning.

  12. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thanks, Ed & Rhett. So you’ve seen that Superman guy too?

    TEB, not sure why there’s an iTunes problem. . . .

  13. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    If you want to totally confuse your spouse…

    every time you are about to go into a room. Before you do, raise just one side of your shirt several times (the right side if you’re going to the right, the left side to go left). Then, every once and a while just stop for a few minutes and raise your top (both side) up and down a few times.

    When asked, simply say, “they your flashers”

  14. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    In the news today…

    Police in Wetaskiwin didn’t have to do much work when they arrested a drunk driver on the weekend.
    He had parked his car next to their offices and wandered inside.
    Police discovered the man as they drove by early Saturday mornign to respond to an unrelated call. Although the police office was locked, the lobby was open.
    “There was a vehicle parked about 10 feet outside our front door.” Constable Mark Scheck said yesterday.
    “The gentleman had walked int the front lobby and he was displaying many indications of being intoxicated.
    “So at that point we did take him into custody… It’s pretty unusual,” he said from Wetaskiwin, about 30 minutes south of Edmonton.
    The 28-year-old man has been charged with impaired driving.

    So was the driver being smart or stupid?

  15. Rhettro Says:

    The dude I saw might have been Super Boy. Anyway, work asplosion. Back noonish.

  16. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    Mornin, Pan..

    This fine Thursday finds me several Deadpans behind…I shall endeavor to ketchup.

  17. Ed from Texas Says:

    Oh, yes, Jack - I’ve spent time with just about everyone on the list. Sadly, I’ve even been a few of them on occasion.

  18. ComputerKing Says:

    This Podcast is Useless Without Pics of Leann Flashing!

    OK, not totally useless.

    But Srsly, pix pls kthxbai!

    (This txt tlk brought to you by the Indecipherable League of Amrca)

  19. Vanamonde Says:

    Reminds me how much I liked the full keyboard on the Nokia 5510, no need for txt speak when you could type out everything in full quickly.

    T9 predictive txt is just not as good.

  20. Vanamonde Says:

    Listening to the men’s room segment reminded me of:

  21. Vanamonde Says:

    No matter how much you shake your peg, the last drop always runs down your leg.

  22. Vanamonde Says:

    So this morning tried to get my cable TV box activated.

    After waiting 10 minutes, the lass on the end of the line states “Sorry Sir, but the serial number of that box is not in our records, we can’t activate the TV box”

    But you sent the box out

    “Doesn’t matter sir, we can’t activate it and will have to send you another box”

    ..and so on.

    What bloody waste of resources.

  23. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Moving sucks

  24. jackmangan Says:

    Glad to know that crappy cable service is not limited to the U.S.

    ditto, are you moving your home? or at work?

  25. disgruntled scientist Says:

    My eyeball is jumping. I close my right eye and the world as I view it jumps up and down.

  26. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    work

  27. Dubshack Says:

    I have pics of Leann’s flashing, but I’m not sharing.

    Also, Leann, under no circumstances are you allowed to look at this link. Under severe penalty. I mean it. Not even a peak.

    http://www.farpointforums.com/showthread.php?tid=1709
    Everyone else look at that link.

    Leann, stay away. And this isn’t one of those “don’t look down” things for your own benefit… Seriously. It’s a surprise. Don’t look at the link.

  28. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    “…ball cock flush struggling to cleanse the trough that was permanently cocked with fag ends…”

    8O

  29. Rhettro Says:

    Sounds like a British phrase to me.

    Arizona stills seems to be under the effect of the Leann Syndrome. It rained really hard last night and thundered loudly enough to scare my young daughter. Mountains in AZ aren’t supposed to be green, it’s unnatural.

  30. Rhettro Says:

    Oh and HDO totally trumps BTO.

    Taking care of business indeed.

  31. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    HDO?

  32. Rhettro Says:

    See end of last week’s comments.

  33. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    ah

  34. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    hi new pan

    bye new pan

  37. Rhettro Says:

    I imagine that understanding sleep would be a requirement of a sleep tech right? LOL I feel a need for a greater understanding as well… ZZZzzzzzz

  38. Vanamonde Says:

    But after listening to the podcast I’m now curious to who has let fame go to theirs heads in the podcasting world.

    Then again ignorance is supposed to be bliss.

  39. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and never shake a can of latte (the ones with the widget in to aerate the coffee mixture) unless you want to end up smelling of coffee.

  40. justa J0e Says:

    “who has let fame go to theirs heads in the podcasting world.”

    That would be me.
    I no longer do lunch with myself and won’t even return my calls.
    I’m pretty “upitty” if you ask me.

  41. Rhettro Says:

    No Joe, it was totally me. My head’s so big it’s a wonder I can find hats that fit. Much like John Luke, I hoist my own Peckard.

  42. Rhettro Says:

    *sobs*

    It was me!

    I bagged the Tag.
    Reamed the Seam.
    86ed 25.
    Made Leann disband.

    I killed T.I.T.S.

    *sobs loudly*

  43. justa J0e Says:

    Hmmmm
    If you can re-state that as a cinquian Rhettro … we might just be okay with it.

  44. Rhettro Says:

    A feel better Joe, I found out it wasn’t me. I got it on good authority that it was actually Dan the Nose Hair Guy from the “Speaking of Nose Hair” podcast. Of course you can’t really blame him, one your fans recognize you as an expert on nose hair, it hard to see yourself as on the same plane as everyone else.

  45. Vanamonde Says:

    This seems to be going down “I’m Spartacus” windy road.

  46. Rhettro Says:

    “I feel better Joe, I found out it wasn’t me. I got it on good authority that it was actually Dan the Nose Hair Guy from the “Speaking of Nose Hair” podcast. Of course you can’t really blame him, once your fans recognize you as an expert on nose hair, it’s hard to see yourself being on the same plane as everyone else.”

    ^As written if I actually proof-read anything I wrote.

  47. Rhettro Says:

    “John Spartan, you are fined five credits for repeated violations of the verbal morality statute.”

  48. Vanamonde Says:

    That was a bit of a mouthful.

  49. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Well, they do say more than a mouthful is a waste. ;)

  50. Rhettro Says:

    That’s why it pays to have a big mouth. hehe

  51. Ed from Texas Says:

    I thought that was a mandatory requirement for Deadpan membership.

  52. Rhettro Says:

    waxed the weiner dogs
    flushed the crap baskets
    shued the shih tzus

  53. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Yep. I have a really, really big mouth. :)

  54. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    not having stuff that piss you off, I understand…

    Feeling like you have said all you need, I understand…

    Not having a new topic, I understand…

    I just hope you tell us about what change in Podcasting that has up set you? I am sure that lot of people are upset thinking there the ones that made you leave…

    I just hope tell us the whole story next deadpan…

    “Your so vain. I bet you think Leann reteired because of you…”

  55. Thomas Says:

    Rhettro in regards of “Mountains in AZ aren’t supposed to be green, it’s unnatural” live here 30 years then we can talk. Until then don’t take anything for granted.

  56. Thomas Says:

    It’s a weird, weird state :)

  57. justa J0e Says:

    So is plasma.

  58. Vanamonde Says:

    Only on Earth.

  59. Amy Bowen Says:

    Bedtime for me. Night, Pan.

  60. Ed from Texas Says:

    I’m watching “The Tonight Show” from last night on the TIVO (Colbert is in reruns this week, damn him!)

    They’re doing “Battle of the Jaywalk Allstars” where they do a Jeopardy like Q&A game with some random 20 something losers that they find on the street.

    Be warned, if you’re children end up in this game, you’ve earned yourself a big helping of FAIL.

    You know, I almost think this has to be something scripted. It’s hard to believe people could be this completely clueless. I think I’m going to go have a drink now and weep for the future.

  61. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Where did everyone go?

  62. Rhettro Says:

    Beats me.

  63. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Oh well. More booze for me. :)

  64. disgruntled scientist Says:

    Sorry I fell asleep. Me old.

  65. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Pah! You aren’t old!

  66. Thomas Says:

    Friday at last, coffee good.

  67. Dubshack Says:

    We’ve been watching the debacle that is the examination of the Clinton/Obama debate last night. (a debate that pretty much decided nothing, but did get boos at Hillary at one point and in the end Hillary actually said something profound, which confused everyone) And then on the Today show this morning she completely snubbed Meredith Vierra’s interview by not answering any of her questions, just talking about how she’d make a better president.

    I know the Xerox thing made the papers, I hope the Today show thing does at some point. That was just plain rude.

  68. disgruntled scientist Says:

    You tell that to my bones :-)

  69. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    If you tell that to mine. I refuse to believe I’m old.

  70. disgruntled scientist Says:

    Well then you aren’t old. I am now going to tell that to your bones.

    Attention Mr ditto swoon’s bones. You are NOT old. I repeat you are NOT OLD!

  71. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    woot!!!!!!

  72. Jack Mangan Says:

    She is the ditto’s bones whisperer

  73. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    DS: Your bones ARE NOT OLD either!

  74. disgruntled scientist Says:

    My bones like to hear that every now and then.

    I should really look at the web site properly when nabbing lyrics.

  77. justa J0e Says:

    I want to go back and re-exam this whole “Bone Whisperer” thing.

    I’m thinking it has great, luridly comic, potential for the Deadpan.

  78. disgruntled scientist Says:

    hehe

  79. Jack Mangan Says:

    Just keep it on the straight and marrow.

  88. Rhettro Says:

  101. Ed from Texas Says:

    Bone Whisperer? I’m so disappointed in the direction that fine bit of randy innuendo took off in….

  102. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    I introduced my wife to a friends friend. She is lesbian, and when we were introducing her the friend said, “A.K.A. The Pussy Whisperer”

    I kinna want my wife to check that out. She just might because later she was all, “O-RLY?”

  103. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    Does that even make sense??

  104. disgruntled scientist Says:

    Sorry I dropped out of the comments for a bit. I couldn’t chime incus I was at lunch.

  105. Rhettro Says:

    I was getting ready for lunch, but got pulled into a meeting that lasted 45 minutes past noon. I have an eron I need to attend to so I’m leaving work early. I’m guessing I’ll skip lunch and snag something later. Bummer, me hungry now.

    Runch time!

  112. Vanamonde Says:

    I used to love Bird Eye’s brunchies, sausage meat and eggs wrapped in bread crumbs.

    Thankfully for my health, they stopped making them.

  113. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Sounds pretty good.

  114. Dubshack Says:

    I just got back from my psychologist. She doesn’t believe I tried to commit suicide. She believes I’m far too inteligent, that if I’d wanted to commit suicide I’d have made a much more convincing attempt. She says what I did equates to “trying to play Russian Roulette with a water pistol.” She says the drugs I used weren’t remotely capable of ending my life and that I clearly knew that. She says I have a strong history and a classic case of undermedicating myself. She said if anything, I need to be taking more drugs. But she’s glad that at least I’m self aware enough to make this attempt to get better and get by on what I’ve got.

    Thought you guys would like to know.

  115. Jack Mangan Says:

    The update is much appreciated, Dub.
    I’m glad you got a professional opinion. I’m glad you’re probably not suicidal.

    However.

    Be careful of any advice that excuses dangerous behavior, man. No repeats.
    Just saying.

    OK, sorry for the public tough love, homey.

  116. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    psychologist told you take more drugs? hmmm…. I bet she had a few she want to sell….

    Oh course I am talking out my ass again.

  117. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    I agree with Jack: Don’t let it happen again.

  118. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    the funning part about the Xerox line is that she didn’t write it.

    She slams Obama for using a freind speech that he had permision for and Clinton hit’s him with a 80’s hack joke.

  119. Dubshack Says:

    Clinton has been borrowing words from a lot of sources. According to CNN, her final statement in last nights debate that got her applause was taken from a speech her husband made in 1994. So yeah… hypocrite.

  120. Dubshack Says:

    Also, to everyone else.. Not to be dismissal, but you don’t know my backstory. My psychologist made that statement for a reason.

  121. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    I all because well care about you Dub… Now put on the ball gag and ass chaps and get back in the box like a good little recapper.

  122. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    bring out the Dub…
    The Dubs sleeping…

    hmmm…. new idea for skit….

  126. Phoenix Leann Loveths Jack Says:

    Ok the next person to talk about politics gets a beating from me.
    Or at least be careful about what you say, and realize when it comes to politics and religion you will have more people who disagree with you than do. It’s a personal choice based on YOUR own personal experiences and knowledge.

    Period.

    Don’t make me turn this car around.

    And Dub, I cannot tell you to take more or less of whatever. Of course, a natural approach is more desirable but not always fast enough or good enough.

    I too have done the same shit, many times, and worse. I hear you man. I would say listen to YOU.

    Dig?
    You are NOT stupid.

    And I got your email, just haven’t had time to respond properly.

    :-)

  127. Phoenix Leann Loveths Jack Says:

    and my back is fucking killing me tonight. Stupid weather. Who said it rained in the damn desert?

    WTF!?!!?!

    I can count my damn pulse just sitting here through my damn spine.

    grrrrrrrr

  128. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    Well you the rain in the desert is happen more and more do to globeable warming. Clinton vs Obama on globeable warming what do you guys think?

    Well your going to beet me any way…

  129. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    well, the other issue I care very deeply about other than roe v wade is freedom of speech, so I think anyone can say what they want as long as they are willing to listen to everyone elses opinion.

    go ahead and Clinton bash all you want, I still would vote for her. Praise George Bush as our greatest president ever and I will still hate his guts.

    no one should feel bad for their opinion. I sure as hell don’t. All opinions are welcome.

    Ok Hugh and I have much research to do online now

    have a good night pan

  130. Dubshack Says:

    Opinions are like assholes… Everyone has them.

    Also the Zulu tribe use to take very long and sharp pointed sticks and insert them into the assholes of the British who tried to take their land, and then while they were still alive prop them up on the outside of the territory as a warning. Gravity of course would slowly force the pole through the soldiers body, killing them very slowly and extremely painfully.

    This is roughly what I go through every time I visit Hollywood Video. My therapist says this is anxiety. My doctor thinks its something physical. All I know is it sucks.

    What sucks is I could have been one of those delegates going to Denver in August. That really would have been awesome. Potentially one of the most historic moments in America in the last fifty years, either way, and I had to miss out because I can’t walk even approach my front door without the urgent need to hide in a bathroom.

  131. justa J0e Says:

    Hmmm …
    Friday night and I’ve been hitting the Scotch.
    Is it too late to get in on one of those Leann beatings?

    I will soo still turn this car around bitches

  133. Phoenix Leann Loveths Jack Says:

    Now to keep watching my Lost Season 2 DVDs….

    I totally have Jack hooked….
    heheheheh

  134. Dubshack Says:

    Oh thanks Leann. Now I remember I missed it Thursday.

  135. JohnBoze Says:

    Happy Saturday, Deadpan. Taking my sweet time before going in for Saturday OT…

  136. Rhettro Says:

    Leann,

    We’re all friends here. No two people on the planet will see eye to eye on religion, politics or what side the toilet paper should face (it should come off the front by the way). I’m happy to hear everyone’s different points of view, it helps me evaluate my own views. Other people do not have to bring their views in line with mine to be my friend.

    Cheers,

    Rhett

  137. Rhettro Says:

    Lost rocks btw. Good choice.

  138. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Lost works a lot better on DVD, imo.

  139. Vanamonde Says:

    I’ve went off season DVDs when I reaslised I just don’t have the time to rewatch old shows when there are so many good new ones each year.

    But I’m enjoying the ride with Lost.

  140. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and In Treatment is worth checking out, really enjoying the episodes I’vve seen of the season.

  141. Rhettro Says:

    I’ll have to check it out Van.

    I agree 100% ditto. DVD is really the way to go for Lost.

  142. justa J0e Says:

    Is there anything currently playing in the theaters that anyone here would recommend?

  143. Rhettro Says:

    The only recent thing I’ve seen at the theater was “National Treasure 2″, which while not Oscar worthly was a fairly enjoyable escapist flick. I like Nicholas Cage in cheesy action movies. Other than that who knows. I wouldn’t mind seeing Jumper, but I’ll probably just wait for the DVD.

  144. justa J0e Says:

    I have seen “Nat Treas 2″ as well and would say you pretty much hit it on the head. It’s fun but of little substance. Sometimes that’s all you want.

    I thought about seeing “Jumper” but I have now seen 3 reviews that had the same basic complaint with it. That it is a really good premise but it just never goes anywhere with it.

    I am interested in this “Parsipne” (I have no idea how to spell it) animated film. It has gotten some positive buzz.

    Hmmmm - where can I get ME some positive buzz?

  145. Jack Mangan Says:

    Get yourself a vibrator, J0e.

    Van, the past episodes of Lost are available at abc.com.

    Happy Saturday, everyone.

  146. Dubshack Says:

    Well, I’ve discovered two things today.

    One, I’m officially sick and tired of this years political campaign, and as far as I’m concerned I’m now and always have been supporting Ron Paul.

    Second, Battlefield Earth has finally been surpassed in Razzie count by Lindsey Lohan’s I Know Who Killed Me. Officially making it the new heavy weight champion of the Worlds Worst Movie Ever. Which amuses me, because I saw that movie a couple months ago, and I really thought it had the power to knock Battlefield off its high horse. (or shetland pony, whatever it is it rides)

  147. Vanamonde Says:

    Well I found Jumper to be enjoyable fluff. Don’t expect too much and you should find it ok. Considering what they did to the book’s plot, fans of the book may start frothing at the mouth after seeing it though.

  148. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and abc.com blocks non US residents from watching past Lost episodes.

  149. Trucker Overdrive Says:

    fucking blocking shit from other countries sucks… I hate… I want to see non US stuff.

  150. justa J0e Says:

    Hey Deadpan ….
    … I’ve noticed you around, um …

    Nice find on the music there, Ditto. Looks like Unearthed is available for digital download from Amazon. Most excellent.

  191. Vanamonde Says:

    I’m afraid I’m hooked on the freebie release of Old Man’s War by John Scalzi:

    http://scalzi.com/whatever/?p=413

    even took my PDA to work so I could read it during my break.

  192. Ed from Texas Says:

    Just purchased the album through Amazon - my first digital download through them. Quite a nice system.

    You know what’s best - I can buy the damn thing once and put it on my and my wife’s computers with our totally separate libraries and Itunes accounts, just like if I had bought a CD and ripped it to each our our computers.

    Couldn’t pull that one with Itunes. Long live Amazon.

  193. Ed from Texas Says:

    I just recently downloaded that one as well, Vanamonde. The hard part for me is finding time/space to actually read. It’s kinda hard to pull that off while I’m driving to work.

  194. Rhettro Says:

    Hey and by cool incedense, Unearth is also available from Amazon.
    http://tinyurl.com/2b8gzg

    I’ve been digging the Amazon MP3 downloads, if only they were a slightly higher bitrate, but for a few songs it works out pretty well.

  195. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Van: I love “Old Man’s War”. The second half is the best part.

    “Bloody Amazing that a computer built in during ww2 is as fast as a modern pc at some tasks”.

    Not really. Comparing a generic computer to a machine specifically designed for a single task isn’t a fair comparison. But, I get what you mean.

  196. Rhettro Says:

  198. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Interesting Pitchfork interview with Robyn. I don’t know anything about her music, but her behind-the-scenes music industry description is very interesting.
    http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/48760-interview-robyn

  199. Rhettro Says:

    For of you who have played Guitar Hero and are now thinking of learning to play the guitar for real, i.e. ditto. I have stumbled upon the perfect way to learn and it’s not Guitar Rising, although GR looks like it will be cool.

    If you own an electric guitar and a computer, you’re half way there.

    Buy one of these:
    (http://www.voxamps.co.uk/amplug/)
    Get a model for the style of music you’re interested in.

    Then buy this program:
    (http://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php)
    Guitar Pro is to guitar music as Microsoft Word is to word processing. It’s a program that lets you compose, print and play sheet music for the guitar and other instruments.

    Finally go to:
    (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/)
    You can download free Guitar Pro formatted music, use the search bar and look for any song you can think of. It’s probably there.

    So anyway, I plug in the Vox headphone amp into by electric guitar, I plug a set of headphones (Leann approves) into it and then plug my audio out port into the amp as well. Boot up Guitar Pro, load whatever music I’m practicing and play along with a complete band! Awesome! You can also isolate and slow down any hard sections and have them repeat endlessly. I may finally learn the two soloing sections of Iron Man. Big time fun. :)

  200. Rhettro Says:

    Looks like I’m in moderation for a post that reads suspeciously like a payed commercial announcement. LOL But it’s about the guitar and it’s cool, so I’m sure Jack will look favorably upon it. :)

  201. Thomas Says:

    If I were capable of carrying a tune it sounds pretty cool, unfortunately, well I am me, so no joy when it comes to carry a tune :)

  202. Jack Mangan Says:

    I’ve run into Guitar Pro files occasionally when searching for Tabs, never knew what I was looking at. Thanks Rhett - that explains it.

  203. Rhettro Says:

    Glad you found the information useful Jack. I bought Guitar Pro mainly for printing music from the internet, and while I knew you could have it play the song for you, it never really accured to me to play along with it. And being able to slow down parts and have them repeat, amazing.

  204. Rhettro Says:

    Thomas, I would say start with Guitar Hero to learn basic rhythm. If you live in an apartment, wear headphones though. LOL If you get to were you can beat Guitar Hero on medium, you probably have enough skill to jump to the real thing and learn to cover songs at the very least.

  205. Thomas Says:

    That would entail buying a game system, so I guess I am way behind the curve :)

  206. Thomas Says:

    The last game system I had was a 2600 knockoff…just never been that much of a gamer, I’ll play a game occasionally with friends, but never had the interest in investing my time and money that way…

  207. Rhettro Says:

    Just replace the word “console” with rhythm trainer and I think you are good to go. Hey, it’d be cheaper than lessons.

  208. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Working through Rock Band Guitar on Hard now. The hand cramps suck. It reminds me back when I really did play guitar. Except I’m not getting finger calluses.

  209. Thomas Says:

    I suspect I am long since a lost cause :)

  210. Rhettro Says:

    At least you’re good at brewing. ;)

    ditto, are you using the controller that came with RB or are you using one of your GH ones. I use the wireless controller than came with GH3 for Rock Band. Been thinking of setting up the drums next.

  211. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    The hand cramps aren’t from the controller, though I have used all 3 (original, GH3, & RB). I’m just not used to having to switch cords that fast *and* use all 5 frets. I’m pretty sure I’m squeezing too hard too. I just need to get used to hard. Lots of fun though.

    Drums are fun, but I’m stuck on Blitzkrieg Bop on medium.

  212. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    I have no comment on video games cuz I am not into the game thing, and Im not gonna comment on hand cramps cuz you all know where that joke will go with me.

    So just pretend this comment never happened and I’m not here :)

  213. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Being able to move your fingers really fast would have obvious benefits. ;)

  214. Rhettro Says:

    I’ll keep you informed of my medium drums progress.

  215. Rhettro Says:

    Faster fingers lead to better hammer-ons and pull-offs. ;)

  216. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Well, I know my wife isn’t complaining. ;)

  217. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    every girl loves fast, strong fingers
    and that wonderful tough skin you get from guitar playing…

    No, but she looks hot. I’ll have to check it out.

    What? I’m not above watching a show for eye candy, so long as it’s entertaining.

  220. Vanamonde Says:

    Although BBC America are showing HEX, it’s not a show that was doen for the BBC:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_%28TV_series%29

  221. Vanamonde Says:

    So I finished `Old Man’s War’, really enjoyed it even though the plot in many ways reminded me of `The Forever War’ (especially the message sent by Jane at the end).

    I’m tempted to go and buy the sequels now, hopefully John Scalzi didn’t screw up the sequels like Haldeman did with the sequel to The Forever War by using god like aliens or aliens.

  222. Vanamonde Says:

    If JS does do that, please tell me before I spend a lot of money.

  223. Jack Mangan Says:

    Holy crap, I can’t remember the last straight-up space Sci-Fi book that I read.

    Still, I’ve heard lots of good things about “Old Man’s War”.

  224. Ed from Texas Says:

    How long did it take to read?

  225. Rhettro Says:

    I admit Van, having read the synopsys over at Amazon, I’m considering getting a copy of OMW. I still have the third book of the Riverworld series I need to finish first though.

  226. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Van: I know what you mean about Forever War. From what I’ve been told, you have nothing to worry about the 2nd and 3rd books in the OMW series. I haven’t read them yet, but I plan to.

  227. Vanamonde Says:

    Started reading OMW on sat night, finished book early hours monday morning.

    Not the fastest of readers…

  228. JohnBoze Says:

    I totally failed to make a big deal the other day. Darcy and I took Fox to his first hockey game. The Wisconsin Badgers (my sister’s workplace) were in town playing the Minnesota Gophers. My parents are in Texas this month, so they gave us the tickets, very nice ones in the 20th row, just offset from center ice. The Gophers did not disappoint, dominating the first two periods and scoring four goals. The Badgers managed two in the third, but really seemed outmatched that night.

    Fox was pretty impressed by the game and general hullabaloo. We were pretty much certain he would pitch some manner of fit by the third period, but he made it through the whole game in good spirits, with aid of pizza and popcorn.

  229. Mr ditto swooon Says:

    Yea! A new hockey fan!!!

  233. Ed from Texas Says:

    Interesting article about the decline in popularity of golf. Can’t come soon enough.

    http://tinyurl.com/2v7tzg

    This line says it all: “Men won’t spend a whole day away from their family anymore.”

  234. JohnBoze Says:

    Now this is true. There were plenty of good old-fashioned hockey penalties, slashing, hooking, roughing, crosschecking, unsportsmanlike conduct. No majors though, no fighting beyond a little tussle here and there.

    And the student section probably doesn’t help with their “Gopher rejects” chant…

  235. JohnBoze Says:

    er, my “this is true” was to Jack, not Ed. Uh, but yeah that’s true too…

  236. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan!

    In the news today, my husband shaved his beard. He’s going out of town on Thursday and his passport shows him clean shaven, so…

  237. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    He looks ten years younger without the beard so I’ve been calling him my “boy toy” :)

  238. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    In other news, the BC government is going to seize vehicles and sell them off to first time offenders of drunken driving. There are many people complaining about this but I think it’s a good idea. I consider it quite similar to radar cameras and red light camera. If you don’t break the law, you won’t have any problem.

  239. Rhettro Says:

    Well that’s definately true for me Ed. I love to golf, but between my young kids and home priorities it’s hard to make it out. Teresa likes to golf as well but is home bound for the same reason. I think once my daughter gets to be around 10 we will be golfing more.

    No real news today. We have a new paper delivery person and getting my paper has been an adventure lately.

  241. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Daughter, you say Rhettro. Ha, ha ha. you THINK you’ll get out more. What will actually happen is you’ll be tailing her with a shotgun…

  242. Rhettro Says:

    In other news, I was able to ditch my coat for my morning commute today. Looks like we have finally reached the warm weather threshold here in PHX. May not need it again until the end of November. :)

  243. Rhettro Says:

    I think I already mentioned my intention of taking her to the firing range, I’m pretty sure it’s legal for 10 year olds to carry a concealed weapon in AZ. LOL

  244. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    That’s fine for her, but you’ll still want to tail her to see where she’s REALLY going vs. where she tells you she’s going :)

  245. Rhettro Says:

    Quite true. LOL

    Morning Deadpan.

    I think that modern, GPS tracking hardware may come to your rescue Rhettro!
    Hmmm, I wonder what is commercially available.

  247. justa J0e Says:

    Ed- Got to wonder, is it “Men won’t” or “Men can’t get away with” spending a whole day away from their family anymore. ;)

  248. justa J0e Says:

    …. now back to CCU production .

  249. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I haven’t gone over to look at the weekend messages, but I, Judging from what J0e said, it’s more of a matter of “won’t”. My husband encourages me to go out for a day, and I encourage him but we are very happy to be in each other’s company that we don’t.

  250. Rhettro Says:

    Well the truth is, I like golf, my wife likes golf, my nine year old son likes golf. And the three of us would love to go out on the course and shoot a round, but my four year girl would run wild. So that means a sitter and that raises the cost of playing. I imagine some time in the future we will all be playing.

  251. Jack Mangan Says:

    I used to go occasionally to the driving range. That’s mindless fun.
    I dunno, maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way, but I would feel like an entire day spent on the golf course could have been put to better use. That’s just me.

    I have fond memories of my dad and I going golfing on some beautiful Sunday mornings. I really miss him.

    I personally can’t understand why people like to watch golf on TV. I also don’t understand why some people hate the sport so much. To each his own, I guess.

  254. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Conversation went 2 different ways there, and I have to put in my 2 cents:

    Well, I think all relationships need a balance. You need to spend time together taking care of things in the house, you need hobbies you enjoy together and you should have hobbies you enjoy on your own.

    Key word there is balance.. not one of those should take over your entire life to where you are always away or starting to feel like a prisoner in your own home.
    As with anything in a relationship- compromise and communication is the way to solve such dilemmas.

    Now as far as golf goes.. personally not into it at all. Hugh likes to golf, but it really does take too much time. In the city there are are several public 9 hole courses the city maintains (there is no room in the city for an 18 hole course) he will do that when he can. 18 holes is too much to ask nowadays I think.

  255. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    at first I agreed with ditto’s comment, and then I remembered something and had to come back and comment on.. I don’t really understand watching golf on TV either, but that Tiger Woods sure is nice on the eyes :) I could watch him for a while.

    :)

    Smarty Hotties out

    Happy Tuesday pan
