Sorry to hear about Fox. For the liquid meds, I usually have to bribe them with a cup of juice to rinse it down with and a cookie.
You know, you can take this as a spoiler possibly, but regarding the last BSG, I think it was the first time they use frak specifically to describe a conjugal act rather than the usual general swearing. On the one hand, I’d expect a complaint to be filed with the FCC. But, on the other hand, the type of folks who would make such a complaint are probably not watching BSG to begin with.
I will say it has gotten a bit tougher in that there’s no way I’ll let the kids watch it with the wife and I anymore. That’s a bit sad in a way since that was certainly not a problem with the original BSG.
Ed – you are right bout the differrence between the two incarnations of BSG.
I did not watch the first few episodes of season 1 BSG because I thought it was going to be a re-do of the original “kiddy-pop” version which I didn’t much care for even as a kid.
Thankfully, this version was made for adults … and made well.
I wonder if Dub is going to confess his undying love for Jack Jaffe, thus explaining the stool in pants comment.
cough
So I’ve just eaten a Belgian waffle that was over a month old and had no mould whatsoever. It must score highly on the junk food scale when even mould won’t grow on it.
I’d always been a little surprised that the new BS:G had no “Parental Discretion” advisory.
Poor Fox! JB, I’ve had some success with the plastic medicine droppers. Tuck it (gently) against their cheek and it’s harder for them to spit the meds out. I hope he recovers quickly.
Van: that CYOA is cool, but it angers me. You’ll hear why tomorrow night. (how obnoxious was that?? sorry:) )
I saw the original BSG pilot at the cinema in the late 70′s (it got a theatrical release here in the UK). Ws really good fun at the time, but I can’t watch it now…it hasn’t dated very well.
As a kid I remember watching the original BSG. The first season was pretty good, but the rest was very slow. And with the budget cuts, when they would show the same cylon raiders breaking the same way, over and over again I was burnt out and had to move along. In fact, I was so burnt out I wasn’t interested in the new BSG. The new BSG is an improvement in everyway possible, aside from a few odd things here and there, it’s pretty solid.
I normally don’t participate in “internet lynch mobs” but this is from a guy I’ve known on-line for about 5 years. His mother was apparently one of the “perp’s” victoms.

This is a web page that has information about a woman (Debbie Jones) and a man they believe abducted her.
I personally don’t know her but the man (Mike Doyel) was the SOB that ran off with my mother for a few months about 8 years ago. This story is real and not a hoax.
Ironically it was Salt Lake PD that finally captured Doyel when he was on the run with my mother.
Now he has run off with a woman from Salt Lake …
Please pass this information along to as many as you can, to try to catch this idiot before he puts this family through the hell he put me and my family through eight years ago.
Our story had a happy ending … I flew to Salt Lake and drove my mother and her car home … that was a long 17 hours for mother to have to listen to me tell her what we had gone through to save her from this freak. She had no idea of what was going on with him or us, he had her totally isolated from any contact.
Here is some info that the site don’t have:
Mike is schizophrenic and he also passes himself off as a woman at times to help avoid being caught.
Anyone want to take bets on how many points Obama will loose Pensylvania by?

Day ???? of troubleshooting this workstation.
I had to spend half of yesterday, backing-up/recording to disc about 10 gigs worth of data to clear space on a drive. I was hoping to install a working version of the OS9 on that drive.
How bad is it that I preconcieved on awakening this morning that the highlight of my day would occur at 10pm tonight with the airing of a new Ghost Hunters.
Just got my test results back. They were normal. Which means another six months of pain that can’t be treated or identified before anything happens again.
It’s been a punishing couple days at work between irrate clients and co-workers, but in the end I’ve come out relatively unscathed. That’s saying something.
not that it even matters but my comment about Doctor Who the Kylie Minogue comment was about the xmas episode, and the adipose comment was about episode 1.
We watched the 2 episodes back to back today
I hope everyone is doing good this evening :)
now I gotta go either find something to occupy my insomnia evening, or take something to knock myself out.. probably should sleep eh?
of course you are still up :) go to sleep dammit!!!!
I came back to tell Deadpan about my new vampire porn books I just discovered! In case anyone else here likes vampire porn.. I love vampire porn. Vampires are so hot…
But the author is Stephanie Meyer and she has a vampire book series called the Twilight Series.. with Edward the vampire *swooooooon*
I wish Hugh would be turned into a vampire, then he could turn me! It would be great!

Well I am sorry to report that they caught Doyel at a hotel in Branson, Missouri today and found the body of Debbie Jones in the trunk of the car.
My prayers go out to this family as it saddens me to know that this was preventable.
Thanks to all that spread the flyer to help.

Definitely sad news, Joe. I think that guys needs a dose of Samuel L. Jackson with a robot arm to make sure he doesn’t strike again.
Ed is right and Ed is right.
And the Deadpanpalooza III voting page is now closed. Winners announced in tomorrow’s Deadpan episode. Night.
Morning Pan,
Well you were close with 14 Dub, Hilary won by 10 points over Obama according to BBC news.

Day ???? of troubleshooting this workstation.
I had to spend half of yesterday, backing-up/recording to disc about 10 gigs worth of data to clear space on a drive. I was hoping to install a working version of the OS9 on that drive.
I did, and it wouldn’t boot up from it.
So …
I blindly stumble onward.
On the positive side … Will Smith is currently “Getting Jiggy wi’d it”.

“Problems were encountered with the ‘Big System Morsels’. Installation cannot continue.”
Of course not! My gosh, how could any of us continue if we encountered problems with the “Big System Morsel”?
.
my rage builds
“Big System Morsel”??
That is definitely going to be our band name.
Bad Stuff Menu
“Big System Morselâ€?? That is definitely going to be our band name. ”
There is no way your band could be named that and NOT get to open for “Spinal Tap”.
Yeah, this kinda sums up twitter for me. :)

*please see Doctor Who Season 4, epsiode 1 for explanation. The Smarty Hotties® are not about to begin procreating.
side note: Kylie Minogue (spelling?) won me over.. i was crying like a wee girl at the end
How did it get to Wednesday already?
I see my cultural initiative is proceeding as scheduled.

Oh dang, Smartie Hottie had to bring up Kylie Minogue. Now I need to spend the rest of my afternoon in my bunk. l8r.

How bad is it that I preconcieved on awakening this morning that the highlight of my day would occur at 10pm tonight with the airing of a new Ghost Hunters.
That’s pretty bad, Dub, if you are looking forward to watching “Ghost Hunters”. ;)
But Kylie was in the Xmas special and not the first episode of S4 of Dr Who.
Martha’s back this Saturday..wahoo!
In the U.S. … our season 4 started with the Ms. Minogue, Xmas Special
Just got my test results back. They were normal. Which means another six months of pain that can’t be treated or identified before anything happens again.

Crap. Sorry to hear that, Dub.
J0e, Rhettro: Thanks! Writing is moving along really well now. I had a really good time at last night’s write-in.
I got 6/10 on the punctuation quiz.
Finally listening to this week’s Unshow.
heeheehee, I got a GJB point again! :-) And a Greasy Spoon Comment!
Between the Podthroat jokes and the Cthulhu Haiku, this is probably the funniest Unshow we’ve had!
I thought the Cthulhu C’chu Haiku was funny 2.
It’s been a punishing couple days at work between irrate clients and co-workers, but in the end I’ve come out relatively unscathed. That’s saying something.
Rhett is a shinning example of what perseverance and Kevlar undies can achieve.
Hoo-ray for Kelvar!
Dub, I’m also sorry to hear that you haven’t identified the source of your pain. I hope you find a doctor that can identify your problem.
Maybe Dub just needs a robot arm.
Yah, we make light Dub but I’m sorry things didn’t get sorted out for you.
Maybe though, this will be the last night of the rest of your pain!
or something like that.
In billiards you …
^Just the first three words are enough to get a chuckle out of me. That means it’s a good inside joke. :-)

Last shift of the week today and after that I’m on holiday for a week.

I hope everyone is doing good this evening :)
now I gotta go either find something to occupy my insomnia evening, or take something to knock myself out.. probably should sleep eh?
Hey Smarty Hotties.

Midnight Oil is not just a band with a bald guy.
Oh man, I think I’m going to rot in DP hell over the Kylie Mingoue thing.

Hi Jack :)

why you say that Van???
I’m crtainly not upset at you :) just saw the confusion and tried to clarify my previous statement
Phew!
According to her Bio, she lives in Phoenix Arizona:
http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/bio.html
I can’t remember is she has ever been interviewed by The Dragon Page team.
Oh cool! :) I know she has a new book in th series coming out later this year.
I just ordered book 2 in the series from amazon, and a book Hugh was telling me about that he wanted to read.
ok this smarty hottie® is going to attempt sleep, the other smarty hottie is already asleep
hope you finish the new pan soon Jack
