Wise man says:
A man who takes a slash in gale force winds ends up slightly damp.
I agree Joe, very Simon and Garfunkl-ee.
Last weekend I stumbled upon a P J Harvey concert on cable. I had forgotten how much I liked P J Harvey.
Reed KD sounds like a direct musical descendant of Elliott Smith. . . I suppose they both owe plenty to S&G.
Weird connection there Rhett — “Long Snake Moan” just played on the iPod.
I definately have a gift for weird connections. LOL
Rhettro – would that be due to the aforementioned “Long Snake” ?
Is that a close relative of solid snake?
Depends on whether or not it attracts a tawny Kitaen.
“Is that a close relative of solid snake?”
As long as it isn’t Trouser Snake.
J0e comes out with the Whitesnake reference.

I never felt anything even though I was up at the time.

Just finished this week’s Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles.
This show better come back next season. Summer Glau makes for one badass terminator.
Glad to hear you came through safely, Van. I’d never heard of such a thing as an earthquake in England before.
Try not to make that a regular thing over there, okay?
Morning Pan.
It’s a beautiful Wednesday morning.
People who work in tire factories have to get rolling in the mornings.
Do birds get grouchy in the morning if their bills are over dew?
When gamblers get up in the morning, do they have to pick the right suit before shuffling off to deal with the day?
Good Morning Deadpan.
Jack!!! – That’s 25 “obscure, 80′s pop culture/music reference” points for you! Booyah!
Ed – I have to agree. Between this and Firefly/Serenity, if she doesn’t go on to bigger and better things … Hollywood just isn’t paying attention!
Now … on with the day.
Just read your Whitesnake reference Joe and I got it right off the bat. LOL
My thought process was like:
“Wow, I’m really clever!”
followed by,
“Wow, I’m really old!”
I agree Ed, it would be a shame if Fox terminates Sarah Connor, but that is what they do.
Tomas: I liked your book review over on Speaking of Beer. I’ll have to check it out, even though I haven’t brewed. Yet.
I got derailed by Tawny.
Red head.
**Swoon**
Thanks ditto, I may have a few more up my sleeve.
Thank *you*. I have to remember to put a comment over at Charlie’s site so he doesn’t feel left out. :)
Obviously they are TEB if they are considering that unusual enough to bring criminal charges against. ;)

Do you know how difficult it was to find an even “mostly” worksafe image of Ms. Kitaen ?
It was either this one or her recent mugshot … and trust me, you don’t want to go there.
Dear Abby:
My son’s girlfriend “Liza” had here breasts enlarged several years ago. Her entire wardrobe now consists of clothing with plunging necklines that expose most of her “assets”.
Whenever there’s a family function, there “they” are for all to see. My husband and the siblings (all over 18) have talked about how uncomfortable that makes them.
My son doesn’t have a problem with itm but I would like to know if there’s something you would suggest I could say – either to her or my son – to let them know how uncomfortable we are without making it sound like we’re attacking her.
I bet her husband isn’t so much uncomfortable with these “assets” showing as much as he’s not admitting it to his wife :)
Way to go son! LOL
Evidently not all Canadians are boring.

I’d have to say way to go to the man. Not only did he get two women to join him for sex, but public sex at that.
I see a porno movie in the making.
I think I have the strangest cat in the world. She doesn’t like tuna, liver, chicken, shrimp or any other meat like table scraps but she likes Rice Crispy squares.
go figure.
Snap, Crackle and Kat?
I suspect that there was probably a website and a camera involved some how.
“Both were determined to be in the nude”
Excuse me. We have to check if you are nude. Are you wearing any clothing? No?
TEB: Yeah, your cat seems unusual. My cat likes tuna but likes green olives even more.
WEINER POOPIE!

lol my gosh
Leann that was funny on so many levels :D
Who does that? ;)
I’ll check that out over lunch, or maybe sometime after. LOL
It be funnay!
wOOt! for the return of warm weather to PHX! Some resident Phoenitians may be grumbling under their breath, but I say bring it on!
Or maybe that’s spelt Phoenicians, whatever. LOL
TEB, I’m a bit confused by the Dear Abbie. Is the woman in question a girlfriend or a wife?
Either way, at this stage, it looks like the son is viewing the situation as “look, I’m a stud, see what I’ve scored”.
A few colorful comments from the father and other male siblings about what they would like to do with those assets will probably get the son to change his perspective real quick. The girlfriend/wife will probably be wearing a burka to family functions in no time.
I guess you don’t want to make a thing of it, TEB.
It depends on how she and your son would react. Maybe just a simple “Um, she should probably tone it down when she’s here” would do it.
Jesus Weiner Poopie
I think it’s the son’s girlfriend who is newly well endowed.
Abby basically said, get over it. She spent a lot of money on herself and is right to want to show it off. If you want, turn the temperature down in your house and offer a sweater, that’s fine. Or sever lobster and offer a bib :)
Lunch time!
Phoenicians? I knew you were old Rhettro but didn’t think you were THAT old:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia
Van, I think he’s pretty old. I heard his guitar is made out of a clay tablet. ;)
Clay hell, it’s wood. LOL
I laughed a little to myself reading you article Van, thinking of additions to the subject line “Phoenician gods.”
Is cuniform carved into it?
There’s some kind of cuniforms on it, but I wouldn’t say they were carved, more like prints.
http://tinyurl.com/yuvwy8
Ah, that explains it.
Where’s the guitar? ;)
It’s there somewhere, keep looking. LOL That gives me a funny idea for a Where’s Waldo parady picture.
Speaking of weird connections.
Is Sarah Silverman and P J Harvey the same person?

Sarah’s got bigger boob. :>
I see we are back to talking about “snakes.”
Just one?
Well… I’ve given up my plan of catching up on every episode…. and am skipping straight back to this one….
which means I can now say hello…
hello
Isn’t there an animal with two penises?
Probably, but I’m afraid to Google for it.
Well throwing caution to the wind (is that the sound of police sirens in the distance?) doing a google with “animals with two penises” indicates some Snakes and Lizards have the dual payload option:

So PA, is Psion from the handheld days, or the earlier Horace goes skiing and Horizon tape days?
+s
Or even the QL days:

You lost me Van.
ditto, I’ve done something simular trying to diagnose my lost internet connection. Checked my firewall software, rebooted the PC reviewed internet settings. Turns out my cable modem was unplugged.
I you found me with the Sinclair. I remember those.

Will explain things…well probably.

Never knew that about the people behind the TomTom navigation system.
An excerpt from “Lady Chatterley’s Tech Support” –
“For at last the source of their failed attempts at coupling became clear. The true nature as to why her intimate time spent with him had failed to bring her to that place of heat and passion.
This whole time, it was his fault: he neglected to connect the temperature control board’s panendermic semiboloid to the “up” end of his grammeter. Obviously, this caused very high levels of sinusoidal depleneration and, hence, strange readings.”
HELLO Psionandy !
I think I missed the wood for the trees.
Good thing, bark can scratch.
Welcome Psionandy!
BTW – the stolen paragraph is from ditto’s link.
It is his fault.
That’s my story.
Psionandy, sorry I didn’t see you up there. Welcome to the Pan and be sure to wash your hands afterwards.
Welcome to Deadpanland, Psionandy!
And I have only 1 thing to say to that.

I’m dying, Pan…
If I go,this is what will happen when they find me:
KNIGHT: There! Look!
LAUNCELOT: What does it say?
GALAHAD: What language is that?
ARTHUR: Brother Maynard, you’re our scholar!
MAYNARD: It’s Jeremaic!
GALAHAD: Of course! Jeremy of Seattle!
LAUNCELOT: Course!
KNIGHT: What does it say?
MAYNARD: It reads, ‘Here may be found the last words of Jeremy of Seattle. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail
in the Castle of uuggggggh’.
ARTHUR: What?
MAYNARD: ‘… the Castle of uuggggggh’.
BEDEMIR: What is that?
MAYNARD: He must have died while carving it.
LAUNCELOT: Oh, come on!
MAYNARD: Well, that’s what it says.
ARTHUR: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn’t bother to carve ‘aaggggh’.
He’d just say it!
MAYNARD: Well, that’s what’s carved in the rock!
GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.
ARTHUR: Oh, shut up. Well, does it say anything else?
MAYNARD: No. Just, ‘uuggggggh’.
LAUNCELOT: Aauuggghhh.
KNIGHT: Aaauggh.
BEDEMIR: You don’t suppose he meant the Camauuuugh?
KNIGHT: Where’s that?
BEDEMIR: France, I think.
LAUNCELOT: Isn’t there a Saint Aauuuves in Cornwall?
ARTHUR: No, that’s Saint Ives.
LAUNCELOT: Oh, yes. Saint Iiiives.
SEVERAL: Iiiiives.
BEDEMIR: Oooohoohohooo!
LAUNCELOT: No, no, aauuuuugh, at the back of the throat. Aauuugh.
BEDEMIR: No, no, no, oooooooh, in surprise and alarm.
LAUNCELOT: Oh, you mean sort of a aaaagh!
BEDEMIR: Yes, but I– Aaaaagh!
KNIGHT: Oooh!
KNIGHT: Oh, no!
[roar]
MAYNARD: It’s the legendary Black Beast of aaauuugh!
ARTHUR: Run away!
ALL: Run away! Run away!
[roar]
NARRATOR: As the horrendous Black Beast lunged forward, escape
for Arthur and his knights seemed hopeless. When, suddenly, the
animator suffered a fatal heart attack. [ulk] The cartoon peril
was no more. The Quest for the Holy Grail could continue.

Jeremy: Feel better, holmes.
Wow… Horrace goes skiing was the first computer game i actually owned… Sorta like Frogger but with alternating ski runs…
But the name came from a mobile tech forum i’m on. Most people had names like ‘DELL-User’ or IpaqForever… so using a name from a British PDA maker that most people had never heard of was kinda fun.
Not as much fun as having your mind twisted inside out by 60 Deadpans in 2 months… but then few things are quite like that.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome to the party…
PSIonandy – well, if it’s okay with you I’d rather infer that your name comes from the fact that you can read minds … but then you already knew I was going to post that!
my name is messed up : /
