“I can’t see there being any progress unless people can be weaned off the car.”
If american cities were designed from the ground up to do that it would be one thing. But we have all these rural areas and large sprawling cities. We could add bus routes, light rail and car pool, but with these large expanses of space and the cities designed for car traffic, it will be hard to impose these things. I’m unsure if the retrofitting of these old cities would save us any energy in the long run verses changing the nature of cars themselves. In Europe, the cities have evolved around public transportation. That isn’t the case here.
I think once the human race stops acting like sheep and demand they fix things, then things will be fixed.
We have all the resources on this planet to make anything we want happen, but we let the few control us.
You know our constitution says we have the right to revolt against our gov.. I think its high time we did.
Congratz Essbee! In August I’ll be celebrating 20 years of marriage. Teresa and I dated three years before marriage, so I guess I’ve been in my current relationship 22 going on 23 years.
Congrats EssBee!! Thats awesome :) This pessimist does still love a good romance :) and good sushi too!
Hugh and I have been together 20 years this Oct, and we will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary this Nov. Lord knows how he can still stand me after all this time ;)
I was one of the few who really liked the first X-Files movie. It wasn’t stellar, but it filled in a few holes and transitioned well into the next television series. As far as the new movie being a fresh start, why bother? I can understand the new Trek being a reboot of sorts because it’s an entirely new cast. But what’s the point of rebooting a series with the same actors? I think I’ll pass. Didn’t the series end with Mulder and Sculley and their magical baby on the lamb from the government or such? I guess I could go to wikipedia. LOL
The first X-Files movie was enjoyable enough, but then the series jumped the shark and seriously went down hill. I’m done with the franchise, so I’ll probably only rent the new movie when it hits DVD.

I enjoyed the year after the 1st film, and then stopped following it. I did end up watched the last 4 episodes to see how it would end. And as typical, they didn’t really wrap up anything. And now they are just going to ignore those last episodes. LOL I blame that on poor writting. Once things got going, they should have planned for seven seasons and a final ending.
…er, well nothing else really is “Serenity”.
What I meant was the comparison between a good series “Firefly” and it’s excellant follow on movie “Serinity” vs. a good Series “X-files” and it’s just good movie version.
Actually, I did understand and I agree completely. To me the X-Files movie was ok, but not great. There were better and there were worse episodes in the series.
Sorry I was in a meeting. Didn’t mean to abandon everyone. Yeah, JLH is the primary reason. LOL That an the pickins for Friday television are pretty slim other than BSG of course, but it’s on a lot latter.
I got onto both podiomedia chat and wonder radio. All talk about my book. It’s very cool. I feel like a man actual podcaster or something. I want to jump up and down and scream and say that I’ve arrived. But then realized that’s kind of silly. Still, every time someone says they like my book it makes me so happy. Is that wrong?
I don’t want to be in egotistical jackass. In the end even Chris Miller founder of podiobook says himself the podcasting really is just a hobby.
Still I got on a show to talk about my book!!!!
I going to be on Tale Chasing next. :-)
I also told him about Kurt’s Dark Age as well. sorry… DARK AGE!!!
I must confess, after the X-files movie, I was pretty much done with the show. I plan to see several movies at the theater this summer – X-files 2 is not one of them. meh!
Vanamonde, I’ve had a few of those already. People who just couldn’t get into it. Or people who thought Theresa’s reading was flat. People who felt the story couldn’t hold their attention. People who thought it was just too weird. I’ve had people turn me down for interviews because I was too small time for them. I’ve gotten lots of rejections. The second I leave a farpoint media show, suddenly no one has ever heard of me.
I’ve been at this sense October. It’s just now people are realizing I have my own show.
I take it you’ve tried it and are not into my show?
That’s cool. I assumed that Dubshack didn’t like my show either. I was still friends with him. I was shocked to find out that he was still listening. lol
in all actuality although I consider myself a liberal, the true republican ideals- before they went all religious on me were actual ideals I agree with.. but not so much right now…

Seinfeld D20 http://fanboys-online.com/index.php?comic=274#60
Yesterday was my 9th anniversary — how long have you all been coupled (if you are)?
I can’t see there being any progress unless people can be weaned off the car.
The cynic inside me laughs at that and thinks only when civilisation undergoes a collapse will we finally kick the car habit.
No I don’t own a hammer and sickle.
Congratulations, EssBee! How did you celebrate?
Van, that sounds like red commie hippie traitor talk to me. What kind of American are you, anyway? Oh wait. . . .
That D20 Seinfeld was very well done.
We just went out for sushi — nothing too fancy.
“I can’t see there being any progress unless people can be weaned off the car.”

Looks like we might make it to 500 even before we finish our ABC lists
but regardless we will complete them this evening
have a good day all
Thirty more comments needed!
Congradtulations EssBee.
Jeremy – that animation WAS “Holy Moley!”
Kerry and I celebrated our 14th together annversary last month. 9th Wedding anny is coming up in Nov.
Hey Van, that song is appropriate. I find, just to give my hubby a good natured dig, I’ll start going…
I remember where we went on our first date. Do you?
What was I wearing? What were you wearing?
What were we wearing the first time we slept together?
etc.
I don’t really expect him to remember, it’s just fun to watch him squirm.
I find women, generally, have a better memory for silly little things like that.
Some people have too much time on their hands
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pShf2VuAu_Q
Um, TEB, why would you mention your first sexual encounter with Mr. Energizer Bunny, then link to that Youtube video? Is there some connection?
Congrats on all the successful long relationships around here :)
No connection, Jack. I have a very disjointed mind :)
While I enjoyed the series when it was out, I find myself unsure of the upcoming movie
http://www.xfiles.com/main.php
I didn’t think the first movie was that bad, even if it left too many questions unanswered. Maybe the second Xfiles movie will be a good one.
So a fellow worker has claimed Indy4 is getting slated by the critics anybody seen any negative reviews?
I was one of the few who really liked the first X-Files movie. It wasn’t stellar, but it filled in a few holes and transitioned well into the next television series. As far as the new movie being a fresh start, why bother? I can understand the new Trek being a reboot of sorts because it’s an entirely new cast. But what’s the point of rebooting a series with the same actors? I think I’ll pass. Didn’t the series end with Mulder and Sculley and their magical baby on the lamb from the government or such? I guess I could go to wikipedia. LOL
I haven’t heard anything yet, Van. I thought it might be a little early still.
EssBee: It will be 7 years soon
The first X-Files movie was enjoyable enough, but then the series jumped the shark and seriously went down hill. I’m done with the franchise, so I’ll probably only rent the new movie when it hits DVD.
I liked the first X-Files movie well enough. I’m with JOe, though, and am done w/ the franchise. This will probably be a DVD rental for me. I DO want to catch Iron Man and Speed Racer in the theater, though!

And now they are just going to ignore those last episodes. LOL I blame that on poor writting. Once things got going, they should have planned for seven seasons and a final ending.
I DID enjoy the X-files movie although it wasn’t as good as some seasons of the series.
It was just fun to see those characters in full length, big screen action.
It was no “Serenity” though.
…er, well nothing else really is “Serenity”.
What I meant was the comparison between a good series “Firefly” and it’s excellant follow on movie “Serinity” vs. a good Series “X-files” and it’s just good movie version.
oh, like THAT cleared anything up!
Clear as mud J0e :)
Actually, I did understand and I agree completely. To me the X-Files movie was ok, but not great. There were better and there were worse episodes in the series.
^Yep,
Count me amoung those who are “done” with X-Files as well. LOL
X-files movie has a great soundtrack album, as does the TV show.
Yeah, Mike Snow did the soundtrack to “Ghost Whisperer” too.
I could never get into Ghost Whisperer. Maybe I’m the wrong gender.
I’m assuming the only reason to watch it is JLH :)
Loved both soundtracks to the X-Files movie.
498 Stay on target
Ok. Maybe this is really 498 :)
Where did everyone go?
500!
500!!!!
D’oh! Ninja’d by TEB :)
I win 8)
Yep, you do.
So, what do I win?
Obviously the chance to be alone in Deadpan Land.
Hallloooooooo…

Hmm, you know things are serious when TSH is sounding like a republican!
The wife and I have been together for nearly 17 years and will be having our 15th anniversary in September. Then we both turn 36 – yeow!
I suppose TO the real test will be when somebody tells you they didn’t like your book and what your reaction to that will be.

No I haven’t tried your show yet TO, I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I’ve got a serious backlog to catch up on.
Anyway, early shift tomorrow, so night pan.
Don’t let the bedbugs bite.
Cool, Van… If you ever have the time. or not :-) I still like you!
unless you don’t like me. then your dead to me!!!. :)
Congrats, TO.
Ditto you may live… thank you…
Ed.. if I didn’t like you so much I might have to hurt you for saying I sound like a republican ;)
Congrats on the book stuff Mr Trucker.. may I call you Mr??
Anywho.. Your smarty hotties are sitting on the couch watching NBA playoffs (c’mon Detroit!!!!) and were going to continue our ABCs

It’s velcro’s 50th anniversary. Rip it up today!
I’m celebrating that anniversary with my ankle brace. Yay, velcro!
Right now I’m listening to the workers trying to pull out my old furnace before they put in the new one. It’s very distracting.
Ah the wonder of velcro, that scene in 2001 on the lunar shuttle would have been impossible without it.
What do you mean it was just a set?

James Garner has a trend graph. Who knew?
ok, back to work.
Seems to be now TEB.
Obviously a glitch in the system that hints at the true nature of reality.
It has something to do with Tweed.
*insert pithy comment here*
The air impact wrench they’re using to uninstall/install the furnace makes the floor all vibratey. It tickles the feet :)
TEB – don’t tell them about that or they will charge you extra. ;)
Tell them to install THIS furnace with velcro!
Also Mr TEB may get jealous.
J0e, would they charge extra for that much velcro?
Van, What Mr. Bunny doesn’t know won’t hurt me :)
Bunnies want bounce
Hard to say TEB. *insert innuendo*
As for what Mr. Bunny doesn’t know … I hear that the furnace guys have LOTS of duct tape.
… and on that note, I’m off to run errands and then eventually get lunch.
Ciao
It turns out it’s not the air impact, its a jackhammer. I guess my old furnace was put in, then the cement basement floor was poured after.
Apparently this was normal for houses this old.
Holy Crap. It’s been 17 years since The Commitments came out. What an awesome movie. Too bad only Van would be able to see their tour this year.

As far as I know, regardless of your profession, pedophilia is still illegal.
I don’t buy the “they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus,” excuse.
You would think they would ask for ID or something.
