Hey Amy welcome to now!!! EST is cool!

How many ways are we supposed to take that.

Oh come on. The Chipmunk Adventure wasn’t THAT bad of an idea.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:58 am
Ah were are back in full form today. Ditto stole the joke I was going to make. LOL
April 24th, 2008 at 7:05 am
Zooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!
April 24th, 2008 at 7:32 am
Went out to shovel the walk
The deer were obviously playing in the front yard again. Left footprints and little presents everywhere.
(on a different note: I refuse to be funny until it warms up around here)
April 24th, 2008 at 7:38 am
boob beep!
April 24th, 2008 at 7:50 am
So, does anyone else feel WI has been a bit “who can we slam next?” lately?
April 24th, 2008 at 7:55 am
I’m two weeks behind on all my casts so I don’t know what has been said lately, Ditto
April 24th, 2008 at 7:58 am
Maybe I’m just in a bad mood
April 24th, 2008 at 8:00 am
I haven’t heard the latest EP. And I’ve been to busy to attend any recording sessions lately. So beats me.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:03 am
It’s not just you Ditto. I’ve got a lot of show to write and record tonight but I’ll be addressing it a bit on FPR tonight.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Due to time constraints … WI is one of the podcasts I have had to put back in stasis.
I think I have listened to 2 of them since January. :/
Care to list who has been receiving the slamage …
April 24th, 2008 at 8:06 am
I find WI hit and miss for me. Sometimes they get into drunken rants that don’t work for me.
It’s not always fun to laugh at the funny drunks.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Oh, hi Dub.
Somewhere around here I have an e-mail I started with input from your last show … or was it 2 shows ago.
crap, I can’t remember. Let’s see if I can find it.
hmmmmm
April 24th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Why don’t I remember any of these games?
http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2008/04/21/fun-from-yesterday/
April 24th, 2008 at 8:11 am
Ah, found the e-mail … now I can’t find Dubs e-mail address.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Also, why didn’t they have something like this when I was a kid?
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=UND10130&mode=retail&picture=out
April 24th, 2008 at 8:15 am
lol. I remember a bunch of those games. It’s just that the title was changed.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Well, time for my Thursday vacuuming.
Later
April 24th, 2008 at 8:22 am
When WI is a bunch of geeks chatting about geekiness, it’s a lot of fun.
When it’s a drunken rampage that gets into tirades of politics, religion, scatolgoy, and really crude sexual “humor” - then it pretty well sucks.
Mennenga is not usually a happy drunk, I’m afraid.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:22 am
I hope it’s not my podtaint talking. I can’t help but think that your choose your own adventure episode was in reference to my podcast. If it was I’m truly touched. If it wasn’t that was really cool and you’ll be hearing from my lawyer!
Jack Mangan is not your rolling wheels he is the mother fucking “DEAD PAN” way.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:27 am
lol
… oh, man, twizzlers!

CYO greasy nipple
April 24th, 2008 at 8:37 am
I’m curious about the WI slammage too. (I haven’t heard WI in ages. . . no offense, guys. . . )
But hey, have you noticed that the World Fantasy Podcast has been doing some interesting stuff lately? http://worldfantasy2008.libsyn.com/
April 24th, 2008 at 8:50 am
Shit, I haven’t heard WI since episode 2 of the new incarnation.
Deadpan is pretty much the only non musical non news Podcast I listen to.
I keep meaning to listen to Slice but never do.
Mid-Morning, Pan.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:32 am
And I must brag about my first round picks! 7 of 8 correct! And I even did pretty well with the number of games!
Canadiens-Bruins. Les Habs in 7. (Habs won in 7)
Penguins-Senators. Pens in 5. (Pens won in 4)
Capitals-Flyers. Flyers in 7. (Flyers won in 7)
Devils-Rangers. Rangers in 5. (Rangers won in 5. grrr)
Red Wings-Predators. Wings in 5. (Wings won in 6)
Sharks-Flames. Sharks in 6. (Sharks won in 7)
Wild-Avalanche. Avalanche in 6. (Avalanche won in 6)
Ducks-Stars. Ducks in 7. (Stars won in 6)
OK, I’m done. I’ll post 2nd round picks later.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Yep. You were awesome in your picks.
All hail the mighty Mangan!
April 24th, 2008 at 10:29 am
Well those fake game covers make me pine for a world that was never was.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:31 am
As for WI, it’s more a general impression that I get. The humor isn’t quite as light-hearted as it used to be; too many drunken rants; open mocking of certain people; and too much one-up-man-ship-cuz-I’m-better-than-you. The latest exchange between Tim and Brian was a perfect example.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Same here with WI. The past couple episodes just weren’t that funny and this last one was almost uncomfortable. I thought Tim and Brian were going to go at it. This week really soured me on the podcast. But I’ll keep it in my queue as I’ve trimmed a few other podcasts so I have room for it. But if it keeps going down hill like this I may give up on it.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Go Wings!!
I changed my background at work to Ozzy vs. Roy fight to get in the mood. Too bad Roy isn’t still there, my wife liked to poke pins in the Patrick Roy voodoo doll.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:42 am
I agree, Scott. But, I also know that the “humor” does appeal to some people:

April 24th, 2008 at 11:04 am
So my 5+ yr old Creative Zen MP3 player looks to finally be giving up the ghost. So I’m looking for a replacement.
I’m looking at the Zune 80gb which got the editors choice at PCMagazine. Any experience with this Zune?
And no recommendations for an Ipod. I hate Itunes and will not use an Ipod.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Well I think Jack’s annoyance at CYOAs went way over my head. They don’t seem any more unfair than playing Dragon’s Lair or the text adventures on computers in the early 80’s.
Yeah I’m probably missing the point.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:33 am
The world seems to be heading to media players rather than just music, so you are probably better off getting the Zune if you dislike itunes enough.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I agree with Ed. Wingin It has been pretty much hit or miss lately. What do I miss? I miss the pinnicle of fan contribution in the voice mail shows like this superior example.
http://www.michaelandevo.com/podpress_trac/web/725/0/MichaelEvoWinginIt_Show060_VMailShow.mp3
Wingin It is best when it’s light hearted and funny. The long winded bitchfest, even if it is in the right, gets pretty tiring the tenth time you hear it. That’s not to say the team is lacking when it comes to comical insight. I’ve never laughed harder than at the last Farpoint Fest with Brian making jokes in the car. What it’s failing to do, in my opinion, is to inspire creative people to submit funny grade-A material. Big and Tasty hasn’t replaced the likes of Karen from Kalifornia, Alvie, Jeremy or Phillip from Australia, not by a long shot. I’m said to say that Joe really was the one who brought the love of all things geeky to the series.
On the plus side, I have really been liking Slice lately. Especially if Crazy Joe is on. He adds the much need eliment of silly but smart humour.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:41 am
Oh and Go Wings!
April 24th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I dunno. We’ve all ready been through the pod-taint thing and even if Jack didn’t mean it for those guys, it certainly applies. There have been plenty of private conversations that fit the bill. The only thing I really have to point out is that even in the end when they claimed “It was all the alcohol,” during that whole blowup between Brian and Tim Brian admitted he was only drinking ice tea. So I dunno how stupid they want to believe we are thinking that what happened there isn’t any reflection on whats really happening behind the scenes. But we’re not behind the scenes so what does it matter. I wouldn’t blame anyone for not wanting to tune in to that show anymore.
It’s actually given me second thoughts about bringing FPR back. I really don’t know if I want to be associated with these people any more if they’re going to constantly act like that. It’s like Jack says, this is fun time for us, and when it ceases being fun its time to move on to something that is.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:50 am
And personally I thought the best of WI was that summer when Evo was away and it was Jack and Mike running the show. And then Evo came back and Jeremy from Seattle and Andrea started sending in content. That whole period there was right at the top.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Applause all around.
And on to lighter topics…
BOOBS!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I guess I need to listen to the latest episode. Brian and Tim have always be gracious when I’ve attended, and there is no denying there vast wealth of literary knowledge. Mike and Lorrie are some of nicest people you would happen to meet. Same goes for Evo and Sheila. I haven’t been privey to their private lives lately, but it’s possible that their current life situations could be making them cranky and WI is becoming their place to vent. I’ve seen that happen a couple of times. But they are people after all.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I guess I should take my own advice and keep things light hearted. LOL
Time to grease up some nipples.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Jack as Evo 2.0 was hilarious! But that time just before Serenity came out in theaters, pure magic. Evo’s “Well, Wash dies!” joke is one I will never forget. Plus I miss the cheesy theme music, “What are they doing in all those Pods!”
April 24th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
2005-2006 does seem to have been the golden age of podcasting
April 24th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Seems that way to me too ditto.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
… take note Jack … April 24th, 2008 at 12:24 pm, ditto has independently 2nd my emotion.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Rhett gave it a third
Hmmmm does that make us in “a chord”
April 24th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Four more and we be a 7th!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Hi Boys, (and TEB if you’re still there).
Boobs.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I agree with you guys on WI - I’ve pissed off my share of folks there with comments on the site. I am a big admirer of Mike and Summer, and think Brian is a kind person.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
And, JOe, I’ll fourth that motion.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
I’m back from errands.
Thanks for the plug, Jack!
Last week, my daughter got two snakes who promptly escaped. Never one to give up, she got another one. I wonder how many I’m going to have in my walls before she gives up…
April 24th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
So would I be boo(b)ed if I said Go Stars!?
April 24th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
J0e, can I be a fifth?
April 24th, 2008 at 12:59 pm
If the three Wingin It incarnations where comedians:
Dragon Page Wingin It would be Steven Wright
Michael and Evo’s Wingin It would be Dave Chappelle
and
Wingin It 3d would be David Spade.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
If I knew I where going to be boo(b)ed I’d say go Stars. LOL
April 24th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Rhettro,
April 24th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
If you got the notion, I sixth that emoticon?
I have great memories of those Saturdays at the studio, recording Wingin’ It! I wish the WI guys the best, and it seems like they’ve got a bunch of new listeners, as well as faithful longtimers like Thomas and ComputerKing, so their formula is working, on some level. I can’t criticize, because I haven’t listened in a loooonnng time.
Is TEB gonna get boobed? I think I might actually pick the Stars to beat the Sharks. Still on the fence. The Sharks are ridiculously talented, but not very tough.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Go Stars!
April 24th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Well, Jack, being female, I think I’m already boobed.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
And, in the female vein… Mike Modano is really cute
April 24th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Well there is such a thing as being flat chested.
David Spade?
April 24th, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Yes, David Spade is flat chested
April 24th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Yep, David Spade. Very funny at times, sometimes his satire is a little to biting for some.
I’m listening to the current Wingin It VM show and I have to say, it’s pretty funny so far. The caller that has called in with the Fargo accent has raised the bar.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
If the Stars jump the Sharks … does that mean that the Hockey season is all down hill from there?
April 24th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
JOe: BOO(b) and LOL
April 24th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
J0e, no I want the Stars to jump the Sharks and win:mrgreen:
April 24th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
Ack, Ack!!! try that again
April 24th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
That’s better
April 24th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I’d say thats not entirely fair Rhett. David Spade has at least done a FEW funny movies.
I’d say it’s more like Dennis Miller. Used to be hilarious as all hell, but now he’s mostly forgotten and the people that do know him hate his ass because he’s a Republican and does serious talk radio.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
You need a big laser gun to pull it off TEB.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I meant David Spade for his stand up material not his movies. LOL Sometimes David Spade is very funny, other times not, just like WI3d.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Well, time for dinner. Maybe do some shoe shopping
April 24th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
OK - my 2nd round picks.
Stars over Sharks in 7.
Wings over Avalanche in 5.
Pens over Rangers in 6.
Canadiens over Flyers in 6.
I love that boob has become a verb.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
and:

Truly the time is right for boob to get verb status.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Spade has standup? Whoa.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Stars over Sharks in 7.
Wings over Avalanche in 6.
Rangers over Pens in 5.
Canadiens over Flyers in 6.

Well, Pan, I will be out of pocket for 3 or 4 days. My partner’s grandpa died, so we’re headed to Southwestern Colorado for the funeral early tomorrow.
I’ll miss the fun!
April 24th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Wee, doggie! I finally got to listen to this week’s WI this afternoon. I don’t know how much more of that I can take.
Somebody make sure those guys get a decent meal before they start drinking and recording!
April 24th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Sorry to hear about that EseBee. Be careful on your journey, sat hi to the Alvie and Addie show if you see ‘em!

Farpoint Recap #8 is uploading now. I’ve added a disclaimer that this is by far the most annoying podcast I have ever put together. *lol*
April 24th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Ok, FPR 8 is online. God save us all. *lol*
April 25th, 2008 at 12:42 am
hi new pan!
just running over the days comments…
Re boobs:
I love boobs, especially my own. Boobs should be a verb
in fact let me start this all over again…
April 25th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Hi new pan!
just boobing over the days comments…
Re boobs:
I was being a good bitch not a bad bitch, but a bitch none the less 
I love boobs, especially my own. Boobs IS a verb.
Actually yesterday when Hugh was minding his manners in front of his mommy he called me a boob instead of a bitch like he really wanted to
Re wingin it
Haven’t listened since it changed to 3d. For me the best time was when they had the balance of personalities. There were some amazing moments of comedy gold between Mike, Evo, Joe and Jack.
EssBee - sorry for your loss, hope the journey there is free of problems and you take care of yourself, and your partner
April 25th, 2008 at 12:59 am
So last night I mentioned vampire porn, tonight I will discuss my fav vampire show which is coming back tonight!!!
I just found out Moonlight’s 2nd season is boobing up tomorrow night! Or I mean tonight, or whatever fucking day it is. It starts Friday night.
We have not watched all the new shows from last season yet..Chuck, Reaper, Supernatural and whatever else, but we got instantly hooked on Moonlight.
When I happened to glance a commercial for it today I boobed!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:03 am
I think only ditto reads comics on here, but did anyone see the new Firefly comic that came out?? I forgot to mention this a couple months back when I saw it announced in the previews book.
I get my main comics delivered to my home once a month, and as with everything in my life I am way behind on my comic reading. But I finally opened my box for last months comics today. As I looked through the comics, my Firefly comic was there!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:04 am
Wash is on it
*sobs*
I love Wash. I hate Joss for killing him.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:10 am
speaking of comics, there are a few really good new titles.. well new to me, as I said I am way behind.
Today Hugh and I watched the season premiere of BSG. I am not a fan of Starbuck and hate to say I liked it better when she was gone
Ok, thats all you get from me.
Hugh just went to sleep and I thought I would check my email before passing out myself.
night hugh
night mush

April 25th, 2008 at 2:29 am
Not a regular comic reader any more (I stopped that when I discovered scifi novels in my teens). I do flip through the interesting ones at my local Forbidden Planet.
In the last twenty years I have bought:

Nooooo! Not Jack Magnummmmmm! Who’s Jack Magnum?
Finally got to listen to DP93 on the drive in. A fine return to Deadpan Form.
Though, I never could get that treasure map. I must have died 52 times choosing the wrong path…..
Oh, and HI AMY! Glad you enjoyed your too brief visit to my fair state.
April 25th, 2008 at 5:28 am
Yea for Comics! (Oh, all right “Graphic Novels” … geesh!)
I used to follow several of them and although life has taken me away from that area of fun … I still have aspirations of getting back into comics someday.
So, please - by all means - I hope that all you comic readers will continue to share you reading list and reviews with us. Keeps the spark alive.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:18 am
Holy shit Dub…chipmunks!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Morning Pan!
Just finished listening to the episode. What kind of treasure was the map for?
April 25th, 2008 at 6:32 am

April 25th, 2008 at 6:33 am
Woot! I’m on DP C2C. My hubby said I sounded nervous. I didn’t think I was, but…
April 25th, 2008 at 6:38 am
TSH: Yep, I picked up “Serenity: Better Days” as soon as I saw it. I’ve not been buying many comics lately since I’m very pissed off with DC & Marvel.
Magnum? Mangan? Is Jack going to be chased by dobermans while Dub yells “OH. MY. GOD. MANGAN!”?
April 25th, 2008 at 6:42 am
JOe: Lately, most of the stuff that I’ve really enjoyed is the independent stuff.
Blankets by Craig Thompson
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi which is now an animated movie
Mouse Guard by David Peterson
Hopefully this won’t end up in WP limbo.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:43 am
Of the three I listed, “Blankets” is my favorite.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Well, you’ll see the post eventually, once it passes moderation.
Stupid Herr WP
April 25th, 2008 at 7:10 am
Okay, I finally listened to this week’s WI and the voice mail show. I found the voice mail show pretty good over all and I have to admit that I did laugh a few times listening to the main show.
The positives: Some good user generated content. Yooper’s bit made me laugh and the rap song was pretty funny as well.
The negatives: The F-bomb sort of lost it’s shock value prior to WI3d, and it was over used here. They need to get to more light hearted/geeky content more often.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:13 am
Essbee: Sorry for your partner’s loss, safe travels.
TEB: I picked up the NWN2 expansion, Mask of the Betrayor last night from Target. It was only $13. I guess I need to finish the first one. LOL
I might actually be completely caught up with Battlestar tonight. I can get spoilerific after that.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Rhettro, I couldn’t finish the NWN2 expansion. It kept crashing about half way through. There have been some updates, but it still crashes.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:33 am
That’s too bad. With the recent updates NWN2 was quite stable on my machine, but I need to transfer it over (along with my savegame files) to my newer faster machine. I’m going to attempt that this weekend.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:34 am
Oh, and we’re supposed to have a high of 100 degrees on Monday. You’re welcome to take 20 degrees of that to warm yourself up.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:37 am
We’re supposed to reach about 9 tomorrow and 14 on Sunday and Monday (60ish? I think). So there’s hope for us yet.
April 25th, 2008 at 7:37 am
Well, off to the grocery store.

So I had some Jehovah’s Witnesses show up at my door this last weekend. The lady informed me that I may have heard of Armaggedon, but it wasn’t something that shouldn’t be feared. Since when do did the Jehovah’s become apologists for Ben Affleck’s acting ability?

Sad to say that my active comic phase was when I was 12 years old until 14. I followed XMEN and ROM. Then I never really got back into it. Patman bought me Kingdom Come as a gift and I enjoyed it. I still want to read Watchmen, but it’s hard to find the time for more than a couple of hobbies when you’re child rearing.

Hopefully Del Toro will have read the book ALL the way through (I’m looking at you Ridley Scott).
April 25th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Is Bilbo a replicant?
April 25th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Del Toro kind of looks like a hobbit. I never read “The Hobbit,” but from what I understand, it’s somewhat of a comedy. I’m sure Del Toro will give the film visual flair. I wonder if he can convey the humor? Hellboy had it’s funny moments I suppose.
Yeah, same here Ed. I’ve been one of the Wingin It faithful for a long time. I still plan on attending the pool party as well as future WI episodes. I guess the way the show developes will determine if I stay current or only listen to the occation episode.

Holden: You look down and see an ent. It’s crawling toward you…
Bilbo Ent? What’s that?
Holden: You know what a tree monster is?
Bilbo: Of course!
Holden: Same thing.
Bilbo: I’ve never seen a tree monster. (pause) But I understand what you mean.
Holden: You reach up and you light the ent on fire, Bilbo.
Bilbo: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or did you lose your save verses asshole?
Holden: The ent lies in flames, its belly baking, beating its limbs trying to put itself out, but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.
Bilbo: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I’M NOT HELPING?
Holden: I mean you’re not helping! Why is that, Bilbo?
[Bilbo has become visibly shaken]
Holden: They’re just questions, Biblo. In answer to your query I’ve always been an asshole. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. (pause) Shall we continue?

I will Van, as soon as I watch last weeks episode and tonight’s episode. Having watched pretty much the entire series over a period of six months I would say with the exception of perhaps the first five episodes, the moral abiguity between the human and cylon race was already established. Right now my feeling is that we will discover that the humans on Earth are actually human/cylon hybrids. I know that there is sort of a change of course in the episode that I haven’t seen yet so I concede I could be wrong. LOL
April 25th, 2008 at 3:05 pm

April 26th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Yeah, I mean I totally think we should have done the Chipmunk Adventure. Talk about buyers remorse.
An interesting thing happened after the Second Life thing. I decided to rework my wiring on my podcast recording setup. And I discovered that it is in fact not Vista thats the problem in dulling down my recordings by 15db… I have the thing hooked up to my XP server and it does the same thing.
That said, it does make a nice little hub. I routed the monitoring port on that into the line in port on the Vista machine and with some mixer tweaking I think I got it to sound the same as my FPR recording quality, but without the 15db sound drop. Now I can record at that quality and talk on Skype and Second Life at the same level as well. But now with the U-Control actually plugged into the XP machine, I can record anything, such as conversations from Skype (and I know, PowerGramo) and SL (I couldn’t find anything for this). What I can’t do unfortunately is re-route audio back from the XP machine to the Vista machine or the mixer (which would be neccessary for running a group podcast where voicemails are played and everyone would need to hear them and comment) without causing massive line noise. Not sure I can get around this without a second mixer. Which I have, but its noisy… so that kind of defeats the point…
Anyway, to sum up, yes, I have no life. But I’m set up to do interviews or bring in cohosts or anything like that if I wanted too.

Downloading nin now. I’ve still been more-or-less caught up on WI, about semi-caught up on Slice and only manage about 1 in 4 C2C’s. WI definitely had a heyday that is pretty much in the past, but it still has little peaks here and there.
Been in a funk lately, my recording commitments have been slipping a bit, and the writing is idling. Need to get back into that groove I was in for a while, if I ever want a new draft of RBT and that toyed-with podcast of my own.
1. Finish final draft of Buffy Between the Lines Season 2, ep 11.
2. Get RBT draft complete.
3. Start work on Angel Between the Lines script.
That last one I have a collaborator on, so that will help some.
I also have a few podcast contributions I really need to be rolling on as well.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/27/fashion/27salary.html?ref=fashion
btw - I don’t want to know how much you make. Your value as a person is not contingent on the amount of dollars you’re bringing in - despite what our overly materialistic society would have you believe.
April 28th, 2008 at 6:32 am
JOe: yes
April 28th, 2008 at 6:34 am
I don’t know Ed, some good could come out of it.
April 28th, 2008 at 7:04 am
” Your value as a person is not contingent on the amount of dollars you’re bringing in - despite what our overly materialistic society would have you believe.”
Agree 100% on this point. I admit, I only skimmed the article, but I take the point is that people are discussing their salaries more openly. I don’t see that as a bad thing as management uses ignorance of salary range to keep them as low as possible. On the other hand, it’s stupid for people to flaunt their salary.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:10 am
It’s funny, the article and the DIGG comments are somewhat out of sync with each other. The article is focused more on people discussing salaries more with their circles of friends, but not so much with coworkers.
The Digg comments suggest that the talking among coworkers is the way to go, in order to “stick it to the man”, so to speak. Now, while such a thing would certainly reveal that some “nice guys” are getting underpaid, I’d bet it would force more people to learn that they get paid less than their peers because they aren’t as productive/useful.
April 28th, 2008 at 8:10 am
Positive - people know when management is not paying them what their co-worker makes.
Negative - it’s human nature to begin feeling resentment towards coworkers who make more then you for doing the same job.
When I first entered “the work force” I would talk openly about what I made. Not as a source of showing off (frankly I didn’t make enough to show off) but because I didn’t care if people new what I made. I didn’t base my worth as a person on my salary.
It was until much later (maybe a decade) that I realized how self-centered my view was.
I was in some social setting with friends and somehow the topic rolled around and in my typical “I don’t care who knows how little I make” style I started talking about it.
I don’t remember any of the details of that conversation but what I remember was the sudden sick feeling I got as I realized (from the look on one of my pal’s face) of what a complete bastard I was being. It became suddenly and painfully obvious to me that this guy made MUCH less then I and I was crushing him. Even though I had never meant to be bragging (I thought I was being self depricating) in this guy’s eyes I must have seemed a complete bastard.
Openness and honesty is a powerful thing. Whether it is a weapon or a tool seems to depend very much on where you are standing when it gets used.
Frak. I gotta go do my podcast now. I’ve procrastonated starting it for 2 hours now.

Now that I think about it, I talked more openly about my salary with my friends back in KC because my close friends were all in architecture and we would use that information to negotiate a market standard salary.

My $0.02 on sharing salary info: After experiences with pathological liars, I’ve become an advocate of openness and honesty on all things with those close to you.

Considering how I was completely screwed by a previous company that totally relied on salary information being kept secret, I can see the benefit of openly discussing salaries. When I confronted the company about the problem, they admitted the problem but claimed the could not fix the egregious salary difference due to mysterious “rules”. So, I quit.
I can also understand how openly discussing salaries would cause problems.

Hanging out down on Main Street
Living in a different world
Standing around with the gang on the corner
Talking about my girl
My girl - She was the world to me
She’s gone - Away across the street
My girl - Is just a memory
She’s been so long away
She didn’t have to leave me
She didn’t have to run
She didn’t have to go without a word to anyone
I hope she’s doing alright
I got no way to know
Unless she gets to hear this song
Hear it on the radio
My girl - She was the world to me
She’s gone - And that’s a tragedy
My girl - Is just a memory
She’s been so long away
[Break]
I hope she gets the message
Got to ger back, you know
Gonna track her down, I’ll find that girl
Gonna tell her that I love her so
Put the word on the grapevine
Spread it all around the world
Sooner or later i know i’m gonna get her
I’m talking about my girl

You know a cereal has way too much sugar in it when eating it dry, out of the box makes your hand sticky.

Sausalito Summer Nights ?

I remember when they actually put the word Sugar in those cereals, “Super Sugar Smacks” ete. LOL
Luckily, I discovered I’ve been able to replace Sugar with Splenda and hardly notice the difference. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before we get Super Splenda Smacks.

J0e - your cereal is sticky from the leprechauns.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Night Ranger could probably fit up there in the Lover Boy pantheon somewhere.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:07 am
They are “magically” delicious.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Sticky from Leprechaun love!
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
April 28th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Kind of rhymes with Spunky Charms.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Night Ranger is magically delicious?
April 28th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Sister Christian thinks so.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:15 am
Can you tell I’m spending my lunch hour on Deadpan? LOL
April 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Ratt(s). What comes around goes around.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:21 am
That’s a big miscarrage of justice that there are no Ratt songs in Guitar Hero.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am
damn. I’ve cut up the roof of my mouth with dry cereal.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am
I guess Charm-orhea is a nasty Leprechaun disease.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Captain Crunch was designed by a sadist. I agree with Neal Stephenson: eating it dry is like eating shards of glass.
Rhettro: I expect they’ll fix that injustice.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:35 am
ditto - you need that special spoon that he envisioned.
J0e - there must be coffee creamer, at least? Although I wouldn’t suggest the powdered stuff on Lucky Charms. Not even on Marshmallow Mateys.
No Ratt no peace!
April 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Good idea, Jack!
April 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Captain Crunch is a marvel at exfoliation.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:52 am
I concur. It takes a day for your mouth to be the same. Especially if you like to suck them.
uh.
*leaves*
April 28th, 2008 at 11:56 am
You like to suck on Cap’t Crunch?
*shudder*
April 28th, 2008 at 11:57 am
Rhett … and conversely, there were no Guitar Heros in Ratt.
April 28th, 2008 at 11:58 am
?? was that Jeremy that was just in here?
April 28th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
JOe…. WRONG!!!!!
That is all. LOL
April 28th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Yes, that was a drive-by Jeremy
April 28th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Van: Not sure if you are into Anime, but thought you’d like to know about this:

April 28th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I may have just been wronged by Rhett.
Hmmmm 2 wrongs don’t make it Rhett.
ditto - count me in. DO you think you can talk the Deadpan into sponsoring us? We could call in with the contents of our London Anime festival.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
ROAD TRIP!
April 28th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
But three rights make a left, or something.
Road trip to London? I hear that route gets mighty humid.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
What’s all the flap about?
April 28th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
The Atlantic.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Lantic schmantic
April 28th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Lantic semantics?
April 28th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
No problem, we’ll avoid getting wet by driveing under the water.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
I’m going to try some Red Bull here to see if it will help me stay awake.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
mmmmmm, I can TASTE the marketing!
April 28th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Are you sure they didn’t just can urine? That stuff is nasty!
April 28th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
but it has the swell after taste of aspirin.
And it BURNS my freshly ground up mouth!
April 28th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
THAT will wake me up.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I’ve never tried a Red Bull, I have had a Monster Energy drink and that shit ain’t for me. LOL I perfer the natural refreshment of Diet Coke with Splenda. I’m pretty sure Splenda uses twice the number of honey ants compared to any other leading artificial sweetner on the market.
April 28th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Thx for the link ditto, I’m in London that weekend so will see if I can get tickets.
I find splenda in hot drinks to be disgusting, it’s okay on Weetabix though.
Ok, one thing I never got about the new BSG, was why the version of Six found on the Pegasus set off the nuke. The Cylon
