Nice bar. I want one. When I started working out (about the same time I started coming here) I couldn’t do an unassisted wide grip pull up or more than like, one dip.
I can do 3 sets of 10 dips no problem now, but those wide grip pull-ups are hard. I can do 5, 3 and 2 now. Then I do weigh 195+, so…
I was down to 189 in mid december, but then vacation and lack of rugby, then twisting my ankle has me back up to 197 or so….totally lame. Ankle feels better now, time to whoop myself into sexy-mode for Dublin!!
We lift weights using a bowflex machine at home- and we alternate muscle groups
Then Hugh runs and I bike
Every evening we do bikram yoga
weekends we also do tai chi
Honestly at this point we are putting more focus on the yoga and tai chi then the weight lifting and cardio.
I like to try to go swimming a few times a week in the summer
Hugh did the bulk up thing. He was such a cute skinny guy when I met him. Then he bulked up to the sexy muscle hunk he is now :)
Ok I need to go jump in the lake or something now
bye
I’m suffering a bit of a creative derth at the moment. I had a few ideas for content but forgot most of them. LOL I’ll try and jot some ideas down latter, probably nothing I can contribute this week.
That’s sad and a little freaky. While driving in today I was listening to Slice and they have that ad for Dragon Con TV or something, but it has a clip of Gary Gygax talking. And for whatever reason it reminded me of the Simpsons episode that had Gary Gygax and Al Gore on it. LOL
It’s a beautiful sunny day. I’m sitting here, eating a cheese omelette, listening to the birds sing. It’s so bright and sunny, I don’t need any lights on in the house. A nice change from the winter darkness.
While I didn’t put myself through school this way, I know my mother occasionally made a few extra dollars when I was but a tot and she was trying to put herself through school.
In other news. There’s talk of making voting mandatory. For our provincial election, Alberta had the lowest voter turnout in CANADIAN (not just provincial) history.
Two street racers aren’t responsible for injuries suffered by an elderly pedestrian hit by one of their motorcycles, a judge ruled yesterday.
Justice Peter McIntyre said Harvey David, 79, was to blame for the crash which hospitalized him. He later died there after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
But McIntyre did find both Jacob Bjerknes, 29 and Lindsey Conroy, 28, guilty of dangerous driving for speeding down busy 17 Ave S.W. during a spring evening three years ago.
McIntyre acquitted the two Calgary men of the more serious charges of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing bodily harm, ruling David was responsible for the crash.
Bjerknes collided with David as the elderly man was trying ot cross the street, breaking his leg and fracturing two ribs.
David died days after the crash

Wait a minute. If I want to cross the street, I now have to watch for the illegal street racers or it’s my own fault they hit me????
Subconsciously, I think I noticed each one of those expressions as odd.
Dub, I went back and listened to Tag #2 this morning. I think Leann is the only person that can make the subject of body hair entertaining. LOL
On DnD, I had a friend introduce me to DnD when I was 11, I was hooked. But he moved away and I didn’t get back into it until 7th grade. I bought the basic books and played a few games. But it wasn’t until I was a junior in high school that I ever got into a regular weekly game. That was awesome, 7 player game with girls and boys really entertaining. Didn’t play again until I was 28 and met someone who was heavily into Rolemaster. So my wife and I spent a summer playing Rolemaster on Saturdays with another couple and a few friends. Fun but time consuming. I still buy books about role playing, but mostly just for reading, I’m not sure I would make the best game master, but I love to play.
My husband and I try to play every Saturday. It’s not always D & D (right now it’s thrilling tales) but we try to do some form of role playing.
On Fridays we have a bunch of people over and do table top games, such as Killer Bunnies, any of the Catan games, Kill Doctor Lucky, Ticket to Ride, etc.
I know they have been claims that elections have been lost due to bad weather in the UK, where voters of one party don’t turn in the same numbers in bad weather.
As a teenager, I played quite a bit of D&D, stopped for a while, and then played a bit again during college. I haven’t played since, other than video games. Like Rhettro, I do enjoy picking up the manuals from time to time.
Some of the 4th ed changes sound interesting. I might have to give it a try, but considering the lack of free time that I have, I don’t see how.
Good to see you Dre, you know I think there are some additional rules that govern sex play into DnD. I’m almost 100 percent sure there are unofficial rules that govern that. LOL
I was kinda thinking as you moved around to each room or whatever you have to have sex with everything in the room in order to pass.. and you get points for different methods, positions that sort of thing.
And you pick up toys as you go. You start with a box of condoms and handcuffs or something like that. LOL
And when you picked what you are, you can have differnt levels of perversion or something
Oh, it’s a much brighter day here in Texas now that the political wolfpack has picked our carcass clean of votes and has moved on in search of new meat.
I never thought She-Hulk was all that sexy either. Must be all the time I spent in the gym.

Wow. How many of those lights did you put up, Van?
Well, I’m off to see the wizard.

Peace out, Ryah.
My weight is fine, but my stomach has gotten a little flabby. Hanz and Franz would mock me.

canta per me ne addio
quel dolce suono
de’ passati giorni
mi sempre rammenta
la vita dell’amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addagio…
tempra la cetra e canta
il inno di morte
a noi si schiude il ciel
volano al raggio
la vita dell’amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addio…

Well Pan,
Supper is done. Only 2 more hours until I go to the airport to get my hubby.
I’m not dying or anything. Just in rehab.
And it doesn’t help that my wife smuggled me cookies. Been able to stay away from caffiene, but the benz haven’t started yet.
Also I slipped a bit of audio content into Mike’s mailbox for Wingin’ it. Dunno if he’ll play it though, it’s highly offensive.
Woo Hoo!
My hubby’s plane is 5 minutes early. Wait a minute, that never happens.
Silly daughter locked herself out of her car. Have to go bring her a spare key. Then off to the airport.
Bye!
TEB: Woot! Your hubby is coming back!!!

I submitted something too. I hope it turns out funny. :)
I’m suffering a bit of a creative derth at the moment. I had a few ideas for content but forgot most of them. LOL I’ll try and jot some ideas down latter, probably nothing I can contribute this week.
Of course I just thought of something I could do for this week. LOL
Typical.
I’ll get it recorded tonight.
Sounds like the Deadpan is about to runneth over…
And that can only be a good thing. :)
Morning Pan. Tracy Hickman just announced that E. Gary Gygax has died.
Wow. His wiki entry has already been updated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax
runch time
That’s sad and a little freaky. While driving in today I was listening to Slice and they have that ad for Dragon Con TV or something, but it has a clip of Gary Gygax talking. And for whatever reason it reminded me of the Simpsons episode that had Gary Gygax and Al Gore on it. LOL
Thought it was Futurama and not the Simpsons:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthology_of_Interest_I
Ah Futurama…bloody great series, must get round to buying the new DVD movie one of these days.
Thanks for the correction Van. I only remember bits of the Simpsons and Futurama, and as bits they are pretty interchangable. LOL
Ah

I’m concentrating on fresh fish today.
I just take Omega 3 supplements so I can avoid the smell.
Pet peeve, people who claim freshly killed fish doesn’t smell, when it bloody well stinks.
Don’t get me started on how bad anglers bait boxes stink.
Think I had better go for a lie down.
As long as no one gets started again on the fish puns.
We’ve had enough of that carp.
Van obviously isn’t a fan of sushi.
No fish puns just for the halibut?
Van must think sushi tastes like bass. I’ll refrain from talk about trout and salty seamen.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssh you’ll set TEB off.
I’ll clam it on the fish puns from now on.
GG’s death only got a little mention on the BBC’s website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/03/farewell_gary_gygax_the_dungeo.html
They obviously didn’t want to troll since he had a lot of sole.
There is a message over on Fark about him loosing his saving throw.
You knew someone was going to toss that one out.
Well he’s past the point of caring about bad jokes..
..or even good ones.
I get the sense that he would have approved of that joke.
Having a bad day?

I was wondering when the Saving Throw jokes would come out. Or as one blogger titled his post: “Gary Gygax reaches zero hit points.”
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/03/04/obit.gygax.ap/index.html
CNN waited until the afternoon, but they finally posted a link about Gygax. Funny that it’s in the Technical section and not the Entertainment one.
That’s because we geeks probably wouldn’t see it in the entertainment section.
I’ve still got my original Player’s Handbook even though I was only into paper role playing some 20 years ago.

Do D&Der look down on DnDers and vice versa?
That’s right, Van. Were all D & D snobs.
+s
Anybody know of a converter for AMR audio files? a linux one would be nice.
I know they have been claims that elections have been lost due to bad weather in the UK, where voters of one party don’t turn in the same numbers in bad weather.
Compulsory voting would stop a lot of that.
Hi guys, how are y’all?
I’ve never played D&D. But I’m sure you’re not suprised. I’ve never played anything except solitaire.
Van: I think they played that Coke ad during the Superbowl.
As a teenager, I played quite a bit of D&D, stopped for a while, and then played a bit again during college. I haven’t played since, other than video games. Like Rhettro, I do enjoy picking up the manuals from time to time.
Some of the 4th ed changes sound interesting. I might have to give it a try, but considering the lack of free time that I have, I don’t see how.
JfS: Did you see Pichfork’s scathing review of Ghostland Observatory’s new album?
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/49081-robotique-majestique
if they had a D&D porn edition I would play though. Do they have D&D porn?
Have you SEEN some of the artwork? in some cases it might as well be porn ;)
TSH: I’d consider WhoreCraft to be D&D porn, though purists might disagree.
This is the artist guest of World Fantasy 2008 (ding!). He’s done a lot of D & D stuff

Hi Rhett, its good to see you too :)
you can get points for the most variety of species, the best use off all your ummm.. holes and limbs.. LOL
That one way to rack up “experience” points. LOL
You can make the wizard throw Orgasmballs instead of Fireballs. :)
I want to be a Nymph with +10 oral points and +5 bondage and +15 boobs or something like that

Let your imagination run wild.
Enchanted cock rings.
Staffs of… something.

I’m not going to Google for “Dungeon and Dragons rules for sex” while at work though. I’m sure you would get pages of rules. LOL
Orgasmballs I like that
Don’t you give your characters a class in D&D
It can be Dominant class, Submissive class, street whore class, dominatrix class, gentlemen caller class, stripper class
She does have a mind for role playing! LOL Speaking of work, got a ton to do. Back a little later. Have fun.
enchanted cock rings!?! *swooon*
Can I get 1 of those for Hugh?
work = boo
:(
ok. I’ll have to entertain myself
OH! Definitely need masturbation points
When you finally fucked the Orc to death you get a rabbit vibrator :)
and your goal is to reach the golden vibrating nipple clamps at the end
and you have to endure the master of cunninglingus (spelling?) for 30 minutes without cuming in order to make it to the orgy level
ok I’ve smuttied up deadpan enough for the day
I’ll do my work now :(
LOL
my nymph character also has +30 kegel strength.. LOL
Ok this has gone too far
sorry :)
and nipple resiliancy of +10 which should withstand any clamps up to +10 strength
When you make your billions from the game invention, don’t forget all of us little people back at the Deadpan :)
I think you’d be most successful taking such a concept to online multiplayer. Your company would quickly become bigger than Google.
Hugh’s “rod” has +50 strength

I like having pancakes for dinner once in a while. It’s something we’ve always done in my family.
Pancakes, some maple syrup, and a some vanilla ice cream…Mmmmmmm!
Can’t get away with putting lemon juice on pancakes though.
