I wonder how many people last week noticed that George Hrab said I had a delicious penis on his podcast.
No, seriously. I’m wondering if I can get an endorsement or something out of it.
It’s a hell of a recommendation. ;)
High praise indeed. I can see the new tagline
“The Farpoint Recap – featuring the best tasting penis in podcasting!”
*hurl*
Wow, what an interesting place in the conversation to walk in at…
I feel we need a penis tasting contest now or something
Hugh sez: can we start with mine?
Of course!
We’ve caught up with more sci fi tv watching since we last posted
We are all caught up with Doctor Who- or no wait we are 1 ep behind.. haven’t gotten this past weeks episode yet. I am really liking Donna when I thought I wouldn’t. She is refreshing because she may fancy the Doctor, but she sure gives him a hard time.
Hugh sez: we feel like bees disappearing might be a Bad Wolf thing.. they keep mentioning bees
yes they do
We finished watching last season of Atlantis finally.. we were pleased with it.
Watched the season premiere of Moonlight.. loved it *vampire swooooon*
That is it so far… been an excessive amount of sports watching these past few evenings
Hugh sez: its the NBA finals babe!
I know :) and hockey final whatsits too
Hugh sez: Yep.
Its ok, you can have your sports, I have my vampire porn books :) Book 2 in my Twilight Series has been shipped from Amazon!!
Hugh sez: I’m the luckiest motherfucker on the planet.
awwww *blush*
Hugh sez: She sucks cock AND lets me watch sports, what else do I need?
I cook and clean too
Hugh sez: You do!
Damn you are lucky!
Hugh sez: I told you!
LOL
ok, night pan
Smarty Hottie vampires are out for the night. We have precious few hours before the sun rises again
Darn it Dub, detail, detail, details!
Now I will have to don a deerstalker, puff on a pipe and try and work out who the douchebag podcaster is.
But you can remain sketchy on the taste of cock.
On the Dr Who trailer shown in the UK cinemas, there is a glimpse of a giant wasp/bee (heh I’m not an entomologist).
Bee good. No spoilers.
How long does it take honey to spoil, anyway?
Could you swim in honey or would you be like a bug trapped in Amber?
Would this annoy Amber?
What if she was your honey?

Morning Pan.
Wow, leave for a weekend and miss all this?! I’m back from family time, heading in to the job at the evil empire (tjatee?).
I haven’t watched Friday’s BSG episode yet — doh! I wish I could stay home and watch it!
wb EssBee
Good to see you Essbee.
What up, guys?
Nuttin’ much.
Ok, this is both funny and disturbing:
The Billy Letters (from Radar Magazine)
“What better mentor for a 10-year-old than Charles Manson? Little Billy seeks life advice, and America’s most notorious killers are happy to oblige”
http://tinyurl.com/3mn5tu
In Bruges
Well after watching it all I can write is….was fun with some extreme violence at the end.
One to watch again when it comes on the TV.
You know, Charles Manson’s writing style is exactly how I expected it to appear. LOL
Scary, isn’t it?
I’m really glad he’s locked away.
*checks under the bed*
Well, it’s taken eight years but president Bush finally said something I agree with.
“America’s farm economy is thriving. The value of farmland is skyrocketing. And this is the right time to reform our nation’s farm policies by reducing unnecessary subsidies,”
Yep. Now lets stop subsidising corn ethanol and allow ethanol imports from Brazil. The corn lobby has way to much pull.
I don’t think he’ll be out anytime soon. :)
Colbert had some interesting things to say on the word last night.
http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml?videoId=167098
“America’s farm economy is thriving. The value of farmland is skyrocketing. And this is the right time to reform our nation’s farm policies by reducing unnecessary subsidies,â€
Which means, corporate farms are raking in profits, taxes on farms are going up, and the profit for family farms is going down. Farmers are getting screwed more than ever. It’d be nice to see something done to help them, but eliminating subsidies certainly won’t harm the corporations.
Grrr. F U wordpress!
http://tinyurl.com/6gqs7t
Oh…context…
Colbert had interesting things to say about ethanol..
I’ll check it out over lunch. :)
I don’t have anything against ethanol, but corn ethanol is massively inefficient, and there is a huge lobby to fund it. That money should either be going to switch grass or algae efforts, the corn focus just drives up food costs and does little for our energy independance.
That whole corn subject would always get Mennenga’s blood boiling. Send enough voicemails/emails on the subject, you could probably get an entire WI! episode devoted to American corn.
Or, knowing Mike, he’d be just as likely to change the ‘c’ to a ‘p’. :)
Whether it’s corn or porn neither are in need of much government help. LOL Being brought up in an adjacent state to Mike, I’m sensitive to the issue as well. ;)
Worn corn or porn borne.
Just be careful googling “corn porn.”
Another gift from the farmland:
Bacon and egg ice cream. http://bordom.net/view/18191
*hurkk*
Go Wings!! :D
http://tinyurl.com/4lpus4
^That was directed at the bacon and eggs ice cream not the Wings.
Go Wings!
I don’t know. I think that can apply to the Wings too. ;)
Only in reference to Buffalo Wings ice cream. ;)
I’d only get the Buffalo Wings ice cream if I can have a scoop of the bacon and eggs on top.
Can’t… move… arteries hardening.
I’m having posole for lunch — I wonder if posole ice cream would be better or worse than bacon & eggs or buffalo wings ice cream . . .
I’m thinking they are all different shades of bad.
Without hitting google I have no idea what posole is.
Must resist, must resist…
Damn. That search made me hungry and I ate not too long ago. :(
Oh good — you too, Vanamonde. I thought I was just an uncultured goon.
Goons – you must try some! Mine was home-made by my mother-out-law, and to die for.
Jack – find a good Mexican restaurant! Do that!
It’s a moral imperative?
Hey Jack, I know off a good Mexican restaurant. *hint,hint*
Definitely a moral imperative!
Yes Jeremy, beautiful local girls are waiting for your call.
2 points on corn (next week … 2 coints on porn)
1) Don’t let the spin Doctors convince you that CORN as an inefficient and bad idea for ethanol is the same thing as ETHANOL being inefficient and bad. The Agricultural Giants (like ConAgra and Monsanto and the like) are spending tons of money to push corn and to make you forget that ethanol can be made just as easily and with a much higher yield per acre … with things like saw grass.
They do this because saw grass is a weed that grows wild in fields from the coast to coast … and it does this without fertilizers or the need for expensive, genetically modified and patient protected, designer seeds.
2) Brazil makes their ethanol from sugar cane. Sweet!
Unfortunately countries like Brazil and Argentina are starting to thrive on their fuel exports and as THEIR economies boom they are buying more cars. This means they are using more of their own fuel and starting to export less.
Right now their supplies would scarcely make a dent in our consumption and in a few short years what they could give us wouldn’t even be noticed.
(I watch waaaay to much CNBC)
Corbert was pretty spot on. LOL
My current favoritest tune of the day is
“The King is half-undressed” by Jellyfish.
It is teh assume.
(I’d send a youtube link but the video is meh and distracts from the swellness of the song.)
Don’t blame farmers for struggling to find ways to make ends meet. I agree that corn ethanol is not a great way to make alternative fuels, but I don’t blame farmers for trying some way to stay profitable.
Let’s have a Blame-Storming Session!!
I blame the Military Industrial Complex!!
I blame Tim Adamec.
I don’t blame farmers, I blame lobbiest. That said, there are better ethanol crops, like sugarbeets they could grow that would make more of a difference. My hope is that once the public gets more educated on the issue, we won’t have so much waste. But who knows?
That Jellyfish tune gets regular plays on my iPod. Good stuff, J0e!
I will try some. . . . . whatever-it-was-called :) the next time I’m at a Mexican restaurant with Rhett. Posole.
I blame the melon farmers.
Hey! I enjoy farming for melons!
I blame the jelly sandwiches
I enjoy checking for melon ripeness!

Gizmodo asks the pertinent question regarding porn: purchase or bring your own.
http://gizmodo.com/384992/question-of-the-day-hotel-porn-or-bring+it+yourself-porn
This just is !
No. really. I JUST saw this on CNBC – 80% of the US oil consumption goes to transportation.
Only like 2 percent went to “residential” uses and only about that much is used by utilities companies.
So we could switch all our houses and power companies over to solar power … and it wouldn’t make a noticable difference in how much oil we are using.
We HAVE to find some other way to power our transportation. There is just no way around that!
This just is ! = This just IN !
Oh, maybe… have mandatory mpg requirements on the gas-suck-tastic SUVs that dominate the roads?
Um…. plug in electric car?
http://gas2.org/2008/04/23/affordable-electric-cars-coming-to-us-in-2009/
Rhettro: That would be nice for city driving. There has also been talk about using dirigibles for heavy transport.
I spent about 90 percent of my gas on my work commute and my daily commute equates to about 36 miles round trip. Well within today’s electrical limits. I’m guessing in the future well all own electric cars for commuting and rent cars that have a long range for trips in excess of 100 miles. That’s my 15 year prediction anyway.
On a funnier note: have you all seen the Engineer’s Guide to Cats?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHXBL6bzAR4
HP-28 FTW!
I can hear the complaints for the short range from here.
Didn’t you post that link before ditto?
Did I? Senility kicking in, I guess.
Goodness me, could this be Deadpan Disease?
Who are you again?
Heh?
Err it was an attempt at a joke.
Got it, Van :) Just playing along (picture hunched over old guy with a cone to his ear).
Wazat?
Van who??
I want some toasterone treats!!
Got back from meeting. I think I’ll take a nap now. ZZZZzzzzz
I’m keeping my eye on this one as a serious contender for my next car. Though, I probably put at least 50-60 miles a day on my car, driving 40 of that on plug in power would be nice:

I’m watching last night’s Colbert on my TIVO. The Word was, as usual, pretty spot on.
Now, they’ve got some woman named Feist as the interview guest and singer at the end of the show. Can’t say she was my cup o’tea.
Is American Idol always painful to watch? Are you supposed to feel embarrassed for the contestants?
This one’s a little more radical Ed, but the 300MPG sounds good.
http://tinyurl.com/3jqhgv
Yes, AI is always supposed to be painful to watch. LOL
Yeah, I don’t watch shows like that.
For those that didn’t see the recent NOVA on “cats of the future” … the “plug-in hybrid” shows a lot of promise. There is a good chance that the average commuter would rarely have to use the gas engine!
They also mentioned how energy inefficant the average passanger car actually was. Guess what percentage of the energy that is stored in your gas tank is actually used to move your body forward.
Go ahead guess.
1%.
That’s right, 1% of the energy is actually used to move you.
This seems somehow apropos to one of today’s topics.
Gotta dig those whacky Canadian rockers.
=====
Down in his barn,
My uncle preserved for me an old machine,
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car.
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine,
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime…
Wind-
In my hair-
Shifting and drifting-
Mechanical music-
Adrenalin surge…
Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.
Suddenly ahead of me,
Across the mountainside,
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires,
To run the deadly race,
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.
Drive like the wind,
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud
With fear and hope, I’ve got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm, to dream with my uncle at the fireside.
Rush – Red Barchetta
What an awesome typo, JJ:
“For those that didn’t see the recent NOVA on “cats of the future†… the “plug-in hybrid†shows a lot of promise.” Sounds great! But I’m not so sure about plugging mine in. . . .
And the last time I got the kids McDonalds (sue me), the Happy Meal came in an American Idol bag with a cheap little toy singer holding a microphone. Simon Cowell and Ronald McDonald — talk about an Axis of Evil.
And with that, I’ll see you guys tomorrow, on the flip side of 400 comments.
Morning Pan, off to London. Free wifi on the train, so I’m typing this message on my mini laptop as I sit in Coach F.
Yeah, Jack, and the sound of that toy is pretty bad too.
Uh, I hear tell…
Especially when there are two of them playing at the same time – So I’ve heard…..
“Cats of the future” … sweet, hehehe
“a cheap little toy singer holding a microphone.”
Isn’t that what the mainstream music industry has been pushing on us for years now ?
So the sky is grey, it’s raining cats and dogs, and things are going smoothly.
“… like, trying to manage bandwidth in a combate zone.”
This was in an e-mail I just got from a relative currently deployed in Iraq. He was explaining why he could look at the photos I had sent but not the video. They had taken away that ability “for some silly reason like, trying to manage bandwidth in a combate zone.”
For some reason that line keeps running around in my head.
” trying to manage bandwidth in a combate zone.”
It sounds like an REM lyric.
Morning, Pan.
Damn, I forgot to plug in my cat before I left for work!
That’s great it starts with an mpeg
and movs and wavs

So, is the final ‘e’ in combate accented, as in combaté, or is it silent? ;)

I’d look forward to that Somewhere in Time, Rhett.
I wish I had some time. You want to forward me some?

Guess I’ll be a Trooper and make the most of my time ’til then.
Some people might get some pleasure out of hate
Me, I’ve enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Mem, I’m too busy dodging between the flak
What you see is what you get
You’ve made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You’ll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don’t get what this society wants
And you run and you run to catch up to the sun, but it’s sinking,
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to Deadpan.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready for the time of life?
Its time to stand up and fight
So alright
So alright
Hand in hand we take a caravan to the Deadpan
One by one we gonna stand up with pride
One that cant be denied
Deadpan
Deadpan
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks theres no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before its too late.
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live. Deadpan high.
There’s no Tom Cruise in Deadpan!
Thank Mangan for that!!!
I’m a very good driver.
^I have know idea where that came from.
When I look down, I just miss all the good stuff/When I look up, I just trip over things.
I’ll stop the world and Deadpan with you.
I’ve seen the difference and it’s getting better all the time.
There’s nothing Jack Mangan won’t do.
He’ll stop the world to Deadpan for you.
Holy Mangan!
That was the schznit!
I wanna know, what Jack Managan’s feeling,
There are some things he can’t hide.
I wanna know, what Jack’s thinking,
T-Tell my what’s on Deadpan!
Whoops. Managan?
Mma nam ana.
I love that old movie, “The Secret Life of Jack Mangan”. You know the one, where he daydreams all the time and gets involved in a secret plot. Mangan is pretty cool. :)
I always liked Greystoke: The Legend of Mangan
Wait, why am I playing?
Heh,
Gaystroke.
Of course, who can forget “The Fifth Mangan” where the world gets to see Jack’s nipples.
Of course, you can just tune in each week and hear Jack’s nipples now.
Or “The Full Deadpan” where you get the big reveal at the end.
BTW this here is commment #170887.
w00t!!
Big reveal at the end? MY EYES!!!!
So I was going to get an early start detailing my time card at 1:30 so I wouldn’t be rushing before the end of the day. Then I got thrown into a side project. Now it’s 5 and I can start. =P

“Hump on in for happy hour.”
I have to say my interest is piqued.
Oooooo!!!!
I just noticed that I have a NEW “Wander Radio” episode!
Sweet!
Did you guys & girls catch last night’s The Daily Show? “Boys have a God stick; girls have a shame cave.”
I just got caught up on the comments since I last posted. I will now reply to them.

Heh heh heh… there’s a fanfic in there somewhere.
