    I did not have the glasses but I did have the hat he wore.

    The closest I could get to the clothing was my mom’s seventies pleather suit and it didn’t quite work the same way.

    Are we talking about Vanamonde’s Greasy Jelly Bean Game?

    That seems like something straight out of a cartoon. There are probably no practical applications. LOL

    So this week my niece discovered her dream job that she was due to start was in fact fake.

    Seems the guy fooled the job centre and was collecting details about young women.

  22. Vanamonde Says:

    Well in the past it’s been done on show and unshow pages.

  23. Vanamonde Says:

    So seeing the casual racism displayed by West Virginia voters on the latest Daily Show was a bit depressing.

  24. EssBee Says:

    I can do that! Sorry for the comments on the wrong page!

    Last 4 in my iPod shuffle:

    “Long May You Run” – Neil Young
    “Wonderful” – India.Arie
    “Reckoning” – Ani DiFranco

    So just started reading ‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zukas.

    The idea of Death (or DEATH as a TP fan) telling the story intrigue me enough to borrow it from the library.

  28. EssBee Says:

    Haven’t seen last night’s Daily Show yet, Van. It was bad, huh?

  29. Vanamonde Says:

    The racism was bad, but the show was funny as usual, and JS was took the piss out of the racist voters.

  30. Vanamonde Says:

    I hasten to add that this isn’t just a USA issue. The UK has more than it’s fair share of bigots.

    As far as “the plan,” I don’t see their effect as statistically significant as they would tend to put as many prospects in play as they took off of the field. LOL

    In regards to marriage. What would you say is wrong with the current system?

  83. jackmangan Says:

    J0e has a good post on the Reaper thread on this very topic. Rather than chime in myself, I’ll post Mother Love Bone lyrics, inspired by the MLB talk earlier:

    She’s always been given
    So I can’t always make her laugh
    But I’m proud to say
    And I won’t forget
    The time spent layin’ by her side
    The time spent layin’ by her side
    Dreams like this must die
    And a dream like this must die

  84. Vanamonde Says:

    Yes it was a transparent attempt to get the conversation started on here.

  85. Vanamonde Says:

    I’ll need to add more grime in the future.

  86. jackmangan Says:

    No no – a very good topic, Van. (and J0e and Rhett and everyone).

    I have some thoughts on marriage myself. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    I’ll try to find a quiet moment to crystallize and post them.

  87. EssBee Says:

    Hey Pan,

    I’ll be the queer person in the marriage conversation (and PLEASE don’t censor yourselves because I’m here). I, like Jack, will find some crystal . . . wait. I’ll find a moment and tell you what I think. Might not be until tomorrow morning.

  91. Rhettro Says:

    I very much look forward to your thoughts Essbee. :)

  92. Rhettro Says:

    In a way I kind of hope that Southland sucks. That way Dub can take the heat for recommending a bad film and when we get around to my recommendations for “A Boy and His Dog” and the original “Wicker Man” the fallout won’t be as bad. LOL

  93. Vanamonde Says:

    ABAHD had a great ending though….not up there with Planet of the Apes, but close.

  94. Vanamonde Says:

    I’ve only seen bit of the original Wicker Man..never sat down and watch it all the way through.

  96. Vanamonde Says:

    The ‘:” is a bit of a giveaway.

  97. Rhettro Says:

    Well it can’t be “The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies”

  98. Rhettro Says:

    It also isn’t “Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood”

  99. jackmangan Says:

    It’s the Dr. Strangelove sequel:

  143. EssBee Says:

    Here’s the one where I give my as promised thoughts on gay marriage:

    I think that my relationship is just as valid as the relationships of my straight brothers and sisters out there. My girl and I have been together for 9 years. We pay taxes, we shop locally, we watch out for the kids in our neighborhood, we take care of our parents and grandparents, and we plan on leaving this world a better place than it was when we found it — at least our little corner of it. We should be allowed to have a legally recognized marriage that protects us and our property if we want one.

    That being said, I have no interest in marriage myself. I’m a feminist, and an anti-racist activist, and I think that calling my very queer relationship a marriage so that John Q. (who doesn’t want to recognize it anyway) understands it is completely unattractive. This world is awesome because there are so many different ways to live. I refuse to mimic heterosexual marriage.

  144. EssBee Says:

    We now return you to your regularly scheduled Pan.

  145. EssBee Says:

    Also, you guys are pretty wicked cool. Just read the comments on the Deadpan the Reaper page on the marriage topic.

    Some people spend their time in chat rooms pretending to be 13 year old girls … then there is Jack, who started a forum, created a universe of characters and then spends all day posting under those names.

    Morning Pan! It’s a beautiful sunny morning. They’re even saying temperatures will reach 30 C.

  160. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ok, I usually don’t chime in on politics or religion but I’m going to put my two cents in on the whole Gay marriage thing.

    We have had a number of friends and acquaintances who preferred their own sex over that of the opposite. Being friends with them has never seemed to affect the relationship my husband and i have. Nor did it seem to effect how my children grew up. My attitude is, I won’t tell you what we do in the bedroom, you don’t tell me what you do. Otherwise, anything goes.

    more to come…

  161. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    To begin with, Alberta is a very “red neck” province. When Canada first brought in legalized gay marriage, Alberta was trying to find legal ways to fight it.

    That being said, there was a friend (he’s since move out of town and we lost touch, hence “was”) who you wouldn’t know was gay at all just from normal day to day life. Knowing what life in Alberta is like, he was very low key about his personal life. Regardless, someone(s) in (or around) his apartment got wind of his lifestyle. A number of people jumped my friend behind their building. Robert spent several weeks in the hospital.

    Since that time, he became what most would call “flaming”. He developed the attitude of, “If keeping low key didn’t do any good, then I’m going to let the world know exactly where I stand.”

    I completely agree with him.

  162. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Actually, funny story with Robert. When my husband and I first started dating, I was chairman of our local SF convention. I took him to one of our meetings. Robert was also on the committee. I introduced my husband to everybody (it was the first time he met my outer circle of friends). Robert looked at him and said to me, “If you ever get tired of him, let me know. I’ll want to give him a call.” (my husband is a good looking man).

    When this happened, I was a little nervous as I wasn’t sure where my husband stood on the subject at the time. Luckily, he thinks like I do and found it amusing.

  163. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ok, that’s it on that subject.

    In the news today (on a similar subject)

    Toronto – Ontario will soon join other provinces in providing coverage for sex-change surgery under the province’s health insurance plan, Health Minister George Smitherman said yesterday.

    Smitherman said the details have not been finalized, but Ontario will start paying for sexual reassignment surgery for hte first time in 10 years, providing coverage ofr the limited number of people who qualify for the procedure.

    “It’s the government’s intention to move forward with the provision of services on about the same level as they were (when) cancelled some number of years ago,” he said.

    I didn’t know it was ever covered.

    Tokyo – Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

    Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd. unveiled its environmentally friendly “Solar Power Bra” this week in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

    The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda.

    “People usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it”

    So why make a bra no one can use?

    London – Aliens from outer space have been visiting Britain for ears and UFO sightings doubled after the film Close Encounters was released in 1977, according to secret files collating reports by members of the public.

    The alien craft come in all shapes and sizes, but their occupants are uniformly green, the Ministry of Defence files show.

    The archives (at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ufos) are the first batch of a four-year release program of all the ministry’s UFO files from 1978 to the present day

    Miami – t was a call to duty.

    A man trying to flee from Florida police phoned his mother for help and she obligingly rushed to the scene and rammed two lawmen with her sports-utility vehicle, deputies said yesterday.

    Mother and son were arrested after the confrontation in the Fort Lauderdale suburb of Pompano Beach, Fla., the Broward County sheriff’s office said.

    Police said they tried to stop Joe Morgan, 25 on a traffic offence but he fled, phoning his mom as he drove away.

    It was cool day in October and with the clock approaching noon, the Apple Jacks I had for breakfast were wearing off. I decided to jump in the car and head to Jack in the Box. On the way there I got a flat and fumbled with the car jack. It occurred to me that when it came to jacking up a car, I knew jack. But it wasn’t just my lack of experience, I jacked up my back the day before doing jumping jacks with my son. With the tire fixed I was soon at the order window. My casher asked me what I did for a living, I told him I was sort of a Jack of all trades. He remarked that the sunglasses I was wearing reminded him of Jackie-O. That’s just a sort of thing a jack-off like him would say. He must of thought himself a real cracker jack of fashion. So after a quick lunch I rushed home. There were Jack-O-Lanterns to be carved and I needed to get started. To sooth my aching muscles, I drank a cup of joe. Jack.

    nope, no time for the live feed. Also, considering i haven’t listened to wingin it since it became 3d, I don’t think I would have any a clue whats going on.

    Besides we would rather go to yoga and tai chi and then have sushi which is our plan for this evening.

    We hope everyone is having a great Saturday across Deadpan land

  276. Ed from Texas Says:

    Well, that’s enough for today. 15 out of 33 stages complete on the playground project. I say stages as each one has probably at least a dozen screws or bolts involved. The basic fort is assembled and useable. Tomorrow I’ll probably do the roof and rock wall.

    Tonight, I listen to my muscles tell me I’m too old to be doing this. I generally ignore them, though there may be some rum involved.

    Allow me to Illuminate the situation.

    1) Wingin’ It is officially dead.
    2) It’s not coming back.
    3) Mike and Brian are REALLY freakin’ happy about it
    4) No one else seriously seems to give a rats ass. Which is just amusing as hell to me and Brian because we pretty much figured that, given the last 20 episodes have been about beating a dead horse.
    5) They’re going to do a bunch of “best of” episodes until the pool party, and then thats it. This includes all incarnations of WI, so tune in because I’m one of the guys picking moments, and you’ll get to hear stuff like Jack Mangan smacking down a lot of people and Alvie and Jeremy from Seattle. And anyone else who ever did anything funny back in the good old days.
    6) I told Brian this means Deadpan is King, and Brian admitted it kind of has been for a while now anyway.

    So… That is all.

    Oh, and I had like an hour and a half of really great sex.

    Morning pan!!

    We are waiting for Hugh’s brother to come pick us up so we thought we would play by play a bit while we waited.

    Its a beautiful sunny morning here in Chi town

    Hugh sez: after a wonderful Saturday night

    it was :)

    well actually the next item in the Deadpan playlist is the Joe tribute show, but we can’t listen to that right now. But we will play that when its a better time

  325. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    In case anyone is interested, The Sex is Fun podcast has been doing a whole series of shows on sex education that has been fascinating. They covered abstinence only education and how to talk to your kids about sex, and then they compare the differences between sex ed in Europe and America.

    It was quite interesting if you have any interest in the subject.

  326. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Phobias

    Hugh sez: I don’t have phobias but I carry some crazy superstitions in my head, which I guess is like a phobia. Maybe my phobia is fear of upsetting the Gods

    LOL, that sounds about right

    I have a phobia of falling, and big nasty creepy crawling things

    Hugh sez: You have a fear of falling because your balance is so off kilter. YOu are always on the verge of falling over

    That is so true. But my balance is beginning to improve

    Hugh sez: Your balance was damn good in yoga yesterday

    It was! Did you see my tree pose? and that one where you twist yourself all together?

    Hugh sez: I did.

    ok sorry.. back to deadpan..

    Saturday was nice. Parents came over. Grilled fajitas and rosemary blue cheese polenta. We had a birthday for me in advance of my Monday birthday. Mom made me Red Waldorf cake, and the folks got me an Apple store gift card, Vol. 1 of P.N. Elrod’s Vampire Files series, and this other hardcover with a creepy eye in a triangle on the cover…

  337. JohnBoze Says:

    Seems I posted just as the Hotties of Chicago lulled for a moment in their listening posts.

    How is Chicago this fine spring Sunday morning?

  338. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Jack that is so so so so so so so SO true

    *pause to put my thoughts*

    Deadpan is the only podcast community I “belong” to in anyway. I’ve stopped listening to every other podcast I used to listen to except our sex podcasts and I just listen to those, I don’t comment on their websites. Although I have emailed the shows and they have always been so nice on email. Anywho…

    Deadpan has evolved so many times. I have to admit I felt closer to the community here before, when I first started hanging out on here. We all talked together on a topic, where as now it is more of a mix some people have conversations, many post something about themselves not joining the conversation. Remember when it used to be required to start any post that wasn’t in the conversation with: “Tangent!” LOL. But I feel some of that closeness we had before has been lost. Not saying it was better before, but I felt closer to that group then. It was just different. Many of those people are still here and that closeness is still lost.
    Now I feel Deadpan is a place we come to to just blow off some steam and then go. Before I felt it was necessary to read everyones comments and see what was going on with people, now I post sometimes without even looking at what was said before. Again not saying one time was better than the other, it was just the dynamic of the people involved, we got new blood in the comments and it evolved to the new dynamic with the new personalities.

    I’ve made a couple really great friendships here on Deadpan, I hope to call my friends Jack, Alvie and Addie my friends for the rest of my life. A few people here we pass a friendly email once in a while, and I like to stay in touch with those people, see how they are doing. (which reminds me I have an email from Kris I need to return). Others I only see on here and sometimes we barely pass a comment to each other. So its a very interesting range of people, and personalities.

    I think you need to take each person as an individual. If I were to keep coming here expecting that same dynamic Deadpan had in the beginning, I would come here and get upset that it isn’t like it was. But if your realize that you can’t get along with everyone the same, and some people are jerks, some people are just rude, and in every community you will find people you mesh with so so well and those people you foster great relationships with. Others are people who pass like 2 ships in the night.
    You cannot say every person who joins a community like this wil be just like you and will act just like you. You have to let each personality have its time, let each personality express itself and then you can see which personality fits with yours.

    If you think oh we are all geeks, we are all good people, you wil find yourself getting burned quite easily and often. Because being a geek doesn’t give you a free pass into the you are a nice person club.

    But the one truly awesome thing about Deadpan- is that some of those people I want to know that they are ok, that I email once in a while are people I would never of made friends with in any other situation. Like Ed and Amy for instance are 2 people whom I respect very much and who knows, maybe they think I am an annoying little jerk, but they are 2 people whose opinions I value and who are so so so different from me, I probably never would of talked to them or met them anywhere but here in Deadpan. Kris as well is someone I keep in touch with once in a while and she is someone who is so different from me, but we were able to look beyond that and form a relationship where we check n each other once in a while. She knows all the goings on with Hugh and everything and even though we email or call each other once every few months, I love those emails and phone calls with her. DEadpan made that possible, and thats fucking cool as shit in my book.

    Hugh sez: word

  339. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Mr JohnBoze!!!!

    Sorry I was writing a novel

    Chicago is wonderful today. Sunny and a wonderful cool breeze off the lake

    how is your neck of the woods?

  340. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Hugh sez: wait, rosemary blue cheese polenta sounds fucking incredible

    it does! Wow I’m hungry now

    I need to try making that

    Hugh sez: you do!

  341. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    ok back to Deadpan 92

    LOL

    Fool me once shame on you
    Fool me twice, shame shame on me

  342. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

  343. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    HUgh sez: none of you better be looking at my womans caboose!

    Many people here have seen my naked caboose, baby

    Hugh sez: thats true. Isn’t my wife’s caboose fucking great?

    LOL.. awwwwww. They’ve seen your fine caboose as well

    Hugh sez: That used to freak me out, now I don’t care anymore. I go to your photo shows and I stand next a 6 foot photo of my cock while holding a conversation about preschools with one of my coworkers. It’s fantastic.

    Or I talk to your mom about her coming over to dinner while standing next to a photo of us doing naughty things

    Hugh sez: Ok, my mom seeing your photos still freaks me out sometimes.

    Jeffs here!

    bye pan
    see you next time

  344. ditto Says:

    Yea!! Hotties!!! I agree with much of what you said.

  345. ditto Says:

    Dub: Thanks for the rundown. It was illuminating.

  346. ditto Says:

    Van: I have no suggestions on podcasts. I’ve had to drop most of the ones I listen to because I have no time to listen to them. Besides, you already listen to Deadpan so my #1 suggestion is already gone. :)

  347. ditto Says:

    “Hugh sez: Ok, my mom seeing your photos still freaks me out sometimes.”

    lmao

  348. JohnBoze Says:

    Okay, I found this online, but lost the attribution to who originally uploaded it, but I don’t claim to have invented it:

    Creamy Blue Cheese Polenta with Rosemary

    3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
    1/2 cup Onion, diced
    4 cloves Garlic, chopped
    1 cup Polenta, quick cooking (cornmeal)
    2 teaspoons Fresh Rosemary, chopped
    4 cups water or vegetable stock
    1/2 cup Blue Cheese
    1/2 cup Half and Half
    To taste: Salt and Pepper

    Heat a 4 quart pan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion and garlic and saute for about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and add the polenta slowly while whisking with a wire whip. Once it is all incorporated, reduce the heat and continue to stir with a wooden spoon. Cook until it is the consistency of thick oatmeal. Approximately 5- 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the blue cheese and the half and half. Taste for seasoning. Keep warm until ready to serve. This makes more than enough for 4 servings.

  349. ditto Says:

    Sounds pretty good. :)

  350. justa J0e Says:

    Good Sunday Deadpan.

    I have nothing to post … but when has THAT ever stopped me?

  351. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    JB- thanks for that recipe, I’m going to make that tonight methinks. I need a side dish with my baked salmon and greens (mustard and turnip greens to be exact)

    Thanks ditto :)

    Reading that again I realize I didn’t say how much also our not being able to be around here as much changed our dynamic in the group too. How much my and everyone’s personal lives can change their participation in a group and therefore changing the dynamic even more.

    But I think I got my basic point across (hopefully- LOL) that everyone comes into any community with different goals/personalities/personal lives and things can change at any moment and you can’t expect everyone to be just like you, and there will be plenty of people who are the total opposite of you and there will be clashes even. But just because you are all into the same 1 thing doesn’t mean you can all get along and that there won’t be people there only there for their own personal gain and won’t care who they step on to get what they want.

    and can’t we all just get along dammit?????

    Ok Hugh and I had more time to waste before the Cleveland/Boston NBA game 7 comes on, so we were going to try to finish this.

    Hugh sez: Don’t forget those guys are coming by about 2

    Yes! So we have half an hour to finish, then we gotta go

  352. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    I don’t know any women who build train sets

    Hugh sez: are there a lot of women in scifi podcasting?

    I don’t really know baby. There are some I guess.

    Well said Jackamo
    I think most people live that way. You can do what you want until you mess with me or someone I care about.

    Hugh sez: then there is that section of the human race who does want to control what everyone does

    and the section of the human race who currently DOES control the rest of us

  353. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    I’m definitely not innocent of hurting anyone. But I really felt shitty when I did and tried to apologize for it

    Hugh sez: I can say the same, and we try to do better

    Yeah thats right baby, we have always tried to better ourselves. Tried to make up for our mistakes and help people we may have hurt.

    Hugh sez: We did. I thnk we are good people babe

    :) me too! We rule! LOL

    Hugh sez: and we are a couple of obnoxious sons of bitches too, ain’t we?

    Don’t ever let anyone make you feel like they are better than you. You hold that power over your own feelings. No one can make you feel or think anything.

    Hugh sez: No one is better than yourself to you, and you shouldn’t ever treat anyone like you are better than them when you are all trying to do the same thing. Like I know I am a better person than some child molesting mother fucker but I’m not a better person than you babe.

    Yeah you are :)

    Hugh sez: Oh you stop :)

    *swoooon*

    LOL

    Oh crap. Doorbell rang. Thats probably one of Hugh’s fellow basketball fanatics. Lets wait and listen…
    Yep. The basketball festivities have begun *sigh*

    Getting ready to hit the hay. It was a busy but enjoyable weekend. My son and I when to a couple of comic shops, I finally bought a copy of The Watchmen and have been enjoying the first couple of chapters. My son got a vampire batman graphic novel as well as a Predator one and some other assorted comics. It broke 100 degrees today and I swam in our pool for the first time this season. That makes it feel like it’s officially summer down here. And my daughter was able to swim by herself holding a flotation device for the first time ever. Based on her progress she my be swimming completely unaided in a few more weeks, which would be fantastic because I won’t worry as bad about her drowning by accident. :)

    That’s cool, Rhettro. I remember that happening with my daughter a couple of years ago. She started off the summer nervous about getting the water and a few weeks later she had turned into a fish. Good times.

  376. Ed from Texas Says:

    Vanamonde, was that picture in the article from before or after the dish had been eaten? Yikes!

  377. Ed from Texas Says:

    Eurovision song contest, eh? We’re going two weeks until the next Dr. Who and BSG here on Sci-Fi as well. I wonder if that’s the reason for the delay on our side. Is there some Eurpean equivalent of Simon Cowell that needs to be taken out over there? Hmmm.

    Though, now that I think of it, being Memorial weekend may be a factor also. Or maybe they think everyone will just be going to see the new Indiana Jones move on Friday.

    I think Mike just got tried of have a party at his house every week for 3 years.

    Plus old wingin was full of bits. The new listerns didn’t want to make them and the show became a kind of weird sex political talkshow hybrid.

    How this new show works I don’t know. I do understand the need for a free-form discussion and random Geeky bits on the farpoint.

    Jack Mangan’s show is great for non sequitur and random bits.

    I enjoy slices sci-fi for news but I get a frustrated when I need to make sure that all comments must reference a current TV show or movie.

    I’ve been itching to be part of a comedy variety show. I don’t think I have enough material to do one on my own. But very much looking forward to being part of one. My big problem is I’ve never free on exactly the same time. And I don’t always have a good Internet connection when I’m stopped.

  380. Vanamonde Says:

    Okay this will be seen as further evidence why Jack shouldn’t set targets for nipple numbers every week, but this morning I went for a walk. Every so often I took a photo with my camera phone of what was in front of me. So in an effort to boost nipple number towards the 450 goal here we go:

    Ed, your erection impresses me. I hope your back doesn’t hurt too much from that :) In case you haven’t already figured it out, Aleeve has amazing powers against pain.

    Polenta is just a fancy way of saying grits

    I thought I remember Mike and Summer saying at the end of Mike & Evo’s WI that they were getting tons of content from Mur and TD and a bunch of others.. were they? Or was it that that stuff wasn’t enough to fill or carry a show?

    We watched a couple more BSGs this weekend. I have to say after a slow uninteresting start, the show sure is picking up! But I still say Starbuck = boo. I cannot stand that character. We haven’t watched anymore Who’s or anything else except Basketball.

    Hugh sez: My team lost last night :( *sobs* Guess I’m switching to Spurs again.

    You are a basketball team whore, Hughie :)

    Hugh sez: I am. Only if my Bulls fail me like they did this year.

    Morning, everyone.

    Nice work, Van. I’ll have to try and take a look at the pics another time. Too many links to click through while I’m at work.

    BTW, grits and polenta are not the same, but they are very similar.
    http://ask.yahoo.com/20021007.html

  412. ditto Says:

    There are many ways to make polenta. The picture in the wiki article is from a mushy preparation, which is not one of my favorites. I tend to make it a lot thicker. The best thing to do with left-over polenta, imo, is to let it dry into a cake. Cut the cake lengthwise into long slices. The slices should be about 1.5″ square. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. The outside should be crisp and turning golden brown. I cut open a slice and insert cheese. Blue cheese is excellent. :)

    Here’s a similar recipe:

Also, something very geeky from NPR, a reporter in Iraq talked about how she watched “Buffy” DVD’s as a form of escapism from her assignment, comparing the growth of her character along with Buffy. LOL

    Yes I’m posting more links to electric cars. Supposily theses things will go on sale in the US next year and they are supposed to cost around 18K. I’m a little sceptical, they have a range of over 100 miles per charge, a top speed of just over 60MPH, recharge in 6 hours. This would work for my daily commute, but every other electric car that comes close to these specs cost a lot more. It’d be great if true. The cost of a full charge would be about a dollar of electricty. Four dollars for a week’s worth of commuting. I’m guessing you’ll have to replace the batteries every four years at a cost of 10 grand. LOL

    The electric car looks good, but at 160 quid a month to rent the battery out (about 300 dollars) plus the cost of the car and the price starts looking steep again.

    I’m listening to WI 3D #038. I agree with Mike – it was time to end it.

  479. EssBee Says:

    Thanks JOe!

  480. Dubshack Says:

    Vanamonde: I know its a bit late but what Trucker said was pretty accurate, though it went down something like… Debbie brought one of her nasty ass twitter friends into the studio and started grossing people out, Brian wrote on a pad “I’m done” and held it up, Mike was too busy paying attention to the board, and Tim didn’t get it so he started acting like a dick and Brian got up and left the room. They ended the show, Brian came back in and said he was done, it wasn’t fun anymore. Debbie cut the live feed and that was the last *we* heard. But then Mike said I agree, I’m right there with you, and then they both vented for a couple hours about how the show was over and how people weren’t contributing anything, they were basically just leeching off Mike.

    Which if you ask me, however you split the hair, is pretty much true.

    Now unfortunately we get to watch as the man vultures that are the other Farpoint Media podcasts descend and begin picking on Wingin’ It’s dead corpse. It’s revolting if you ask me, but I suppose it’s none of my business.

    Also, sorry if you don’t get Southland Tales… Honestly as I said before we decided to even make it a pick, not everyone is going to get it. It has so much depth to it, it’s pretty much too dense to even understand what’s happening. I didn’t even get it till 2/3rds into the film what was happening. And that was just because I happened to have heard all the interpretations of Revelations and I get some of the principals of quantum entanglement. Not light subjects, either of them.

    In any case, the movie is simply a deap throated commentary on the cultural structure of Southern California post 9/11. (Yes, believe it or not this was written before 9/11… creepy huh)

  481. justa J0e Says:

    Re: Wingin It Contributions.
    Was he referring to lack of content from listeners or from the others who were directly involved in the show?
    Since I no longer listened to the show (I just sort of lost interest and bumped it to the bottom of the stack and then never got to it – call it “Poddrift”) I can’t comment directly.

    Generally speaking though – if you want listener contributions you have to create the sort of fun and creative atmosphere that promotes those contributions. Simply begging for it won’t do the trick. Not for very long anyway.

    The former Wing’in it was like that for me. I have little time for “extra” production but there at the end, the “Evo Terra” Wingin it was just to much fun for me to resist joining in. Things changed.

    As it is, I have a backlog of stuff I’d like to do for the Deadpan but not the time.

    “the man vultures that are the other Farpoint Media podcasts descend and begin picking on Wingin’ It’s dead corpse.”

    I must have missed the sign-up sheet.

  482. EssBee Says:

    JOe: I think what you say is really awesome re: WI. I have been a longtime podcast listener, and have always thought to myself “wow, it’d be fun to contribute something to WI.” I never did, though, because so many homophobic, racist, and just mean things came out over the past year or so and turned me off. I didn’t stop listening, but I came really close more than once.

    I sent Jack my first ever audio contribution last week. THIS is the place for me, I think.

  483. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    EssBee, thats how many of us ended up here. The environment in the WI community was aggressive and confrontational. I am all for snarky comments and sarcasm, I seethe with snark and sarcasm personally, but it went beyond that there I feel.
    Thats why I started commenting here, Deadpan is a much less judgemental or aggressive community. We kid each other and make jokes but we are all very accepting of each others weirdness and differences.
    Eventually my life got too busy and I couldn’t keep up with slice or cover to cover. Then all the people I liked listening to on WI were gone and I stopped listening to that too.

    Eventually I became as I am now, 100% Deadpan :)

    Well ok 85% Deadpan and 15% sex pervert.. but you all knew that already

  484. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Hugh sez hethinks I might actually be

    65% pervert, 15% Smart ass, 20% Deadpan

    I guess I have always had problems maintaining my Deadpanocity

  485. Vanamonde Says:

    So any attempt at calorie control today is being thwarted by a plate of home made sausage rolls with pastry that crumbles in the mouth..mmmmmmm!

    As for WI3D, this world is far from perfect and people are going to have some strange attitudes towards people they don’t like or are afraid of. However as long as it’s all talk I can live with that. It’s when they get the pitchforks and burning torches out that I start to worry.

  486. ditto Says:

    Well, 75% deadpan and 95% sex pervert. ;)

  487. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and if you lean to the left, a lot of the right wing/libertarian podcasts are good for a laugh on a good day and a source of despair on a bad one.

  488. ditto Says:

    To be honest, I’ve gotten so busy at work and in my personal life that podcasts have been actively interfering with how I get things done. Plus, I’ve often found that at the end of the podcast, I have no idea of what was said. At that point it seems pointless to continue to listen, or to contribute, imo. So, the only “talking” podcasts I listen to anymore are Deadpan, JapanesePod 101, and podictionary. The remaining few podcasts are all music based.

  489. EssBee Says:

    I know it’s true, TSH. I followed the original WI crowd, and have been listening to Deadpan for awhile. I finally jumped in here recently, and am sure glad I did. You all are fabulous.

    ditto, I know what you mean by coming to the end of a podcast and having no idea what was said! I still subscribe to tons and tons of them, though. I’m listening to Savage Love right now.

    Okay, Pan – really going to the airport now. Enjoy your day!

  494. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Yeah ditto, that was happening to me too with the talking, I switched to a lot of music casts too, but Ive dumped those now because I have no time to keep up.

    We still listen to our sex podcasts when we both have time and we just skip around and listen to the topic we want, they dont need to be listened to in any kind of order which is why we like them. Most of them post the show topic in the title, so its easy to decide.. and well we find sex and sexuality topics fascinating so it works well for us.

    Speaking of which- we are HUGE Savage Love fans. I love that guy.

  504. Rhettro Says:

    wOOt!

    Yeah I listened to WI 38 on my drive in this morning. And while it’s said to see one of my main shows go, I think it was pasted due. I’ve been privileged to be a part of the behind the scenes at the Studio and what may not be readily apparent to the casual listener is that Mike works his butt off. By Saturday evening Mike starts to look like something from the Zombie channel. Something I wanted to address but have been holding off on until Mike made it public knowledge is that his passion wasn’t really in Wingin It anymore. And it’s easy to see why, before he started Farpoint, he had a handful of properties he was managing, he was a primary contributor and there were a lot of fresh things to talk about. I think the extra work load that the other shows brought as well as Joe’s illness, and Evo’s departure (which was related to those first two issues) took a lot of wind out of Mike’s sails. And when you consider that Wingin It was probably the most time consuming podcast Mike produced, you can see how WI3D started to be more of a burden than a joy to make. So I think this is a good thing. It’ll free up Mike to work on his other podcasts and the new found freedom should contribute to his creativity.

    As far as listener contributions go, I don’t think WI escaped the shadow of Joe’s death. People got involved because WI was a light hearted fun show. It was a great departure from the tough world around us. Joe’s death was a heavy burden for a comedy show. A lot of the most prolific contributors didn’t come back after that.

    As for my own contributions, it was 18 months ago that the manager portion in my job title was put to work and I’ve been managing the construction of a fairly large shopping district in north western Arizona. I’ve had to work quite a few weekends and the weekends I’ve had off I haven’t felt very creative. Plus my two partners in crime, Gil and Patman, have been up to their ears in work, working overseas for much of that time. So we haven’t been able to collaborate on any new material or send in funny voicemails. But the old crowd has apparently moved to Deadpan, and I think sometime in the very near future, elements of that creative past will come back together. :)

  505. Rhettro Says:

    For podcasts I’m still a regular listener to Slice and Deadpan. I’ve added a guitar podcast to the mix, Six String Bliss, (www.sixstringbliss.com) which is a low key and friendly conversation between two guys over Skype. I’ve also been trying to find the perfect Metal podcast but haven’t found it yet. Metalscape has awesome music, but the hosts are like two stoner college kids and they talk way more than play music. I don’t like fast forwarding through 10 minutes of pointless banter just to get to the music. MSRcast has slightly better hosts that get to the music faster, but it’s a little to grounded in the old school. But MSRcast is good to jog to. I’m interested in checking out Jack’s recommendation for World Fantasy. June is looking like a month to reevalute all my current shows I listnen to.

  506. Ed from Texas Says:

    I do have to agree as well that it’s probably best to let WI pass on. I followed the comments on the WI3D page and listened to Episode 38 today with Michael and Brian’s explanation. Honestly, had I not had the chance to meet and spend time with Mike, Brian, and Debbie there at DragonCon, I probably would have dropped the show after their rambling bitchcast at the end of 2007.

    WI was clearly a show that was supposed to be about having fun. When something like that ceases to be a labor of love and becomes just a drain on your soul, it’s best to move on. I had wondered anyway how Michael put up with essentially having a big party at his house every weekend.

    As for Deadpan, Let’s welcome the refugees from WI to our happy band. Though, we will have to make sure to apply the asshat filter.

  507. jackmangan Says:

    Asshat Filter.

    THAT is definitely going to be our band name.

  510. Scott from Kalamazoo Says:

    I’m definately behind and just catching up on podcasts. Work has been killing me and I’m about 2 weeks behind now but I’m caught up on Deadpan first. Deadpan is the fucking way.

    WI ending…just catching up there but WI just hasn’t been a priority for me for months. In fact most episodes I actually hit the skip button by halfway thru. It just hasn’t been interesting at all for quite some time.

    Anyway, so long as the Deadpan doesn’t podfade I’ll be happy. I apologize for not sending in content but I listen every week.

    Deadpan again…is the way.

  511. Rhettro Says:

    I forgot to wish JB happy birthday and Essbee safe travels.

  512. jackmangan Says:

    And oh yeah – have fun with your Vegas “business”, EssBee.

    And Dubshack – which “nasty twitter friend” did Debbie bring to WI! ?

    And hey, it’s Scott from Kalamazoo!

    OK, must stop procrastinating. I’m just gonna lurk for awhile.

  513. Vanamonde Says:

    Maybe it was the woman who was into being tied up, hopefully Dub will illuminate.

    I know my place.

  514. ditto Says:

    Happy birthday, JB.

  515. Rhettro Says:

    Funny, I liked what I heard of “Debbie’s nastie twitter friend.” LOL It was clear that Mike, Brian and Co. were trying to delve into more geeky topics, but the women had other things on their mind. I couldn’t tell if that was a point of flustration on Mike’s part or not. But really, WI has welcomed geek and sex in equal portions for a long time. The problem in my mind was they were retreading over the same ground.

  516. Rhettro Says:

    I’m really putting the “pro” in procrastination today. One final thought before lunch. WI really needed an infusion of new blood. Krazy Joe was starting to step up to the plate and DNTF could have had a place as well. But utimately WI got trapped in it’s own inertia. Perhaps we’ll see some new shows born out of the ashes of WI?

    *steps onto the Deadpan Soapbox*
    Point of order!

    I see the need of a definition – “Podcrastination”

    … is this – The act of listening to a podcast or hanging out in the forum of your favorite podcast INSTEAD of doing what you should be doing.

    or

    - Finding any excuse not to work on your next podcast.

    I open the floor for mass debate.

    *stumbles of the soapbox, lands in a nearby both which is fortunately unoccupied. Finds a quarter in the seat cushion, walks over to the juke box, inserts the coin and chooses Billy Idle’s “White Wedding”*

  518. ditto Says:

    Hehe. I’m glad I “fixed” that soapbox. :)

  519. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    *podcrastinates wildly*

    I only listened to one or 2 of WI3D episodes. If it started getting racist and homophobish I am glad I wasn’t listening, because you know me and the gays…we like this *crosses fingers*. Although it would have gotten me off my ass and made me contribute something, but it wouldn’t have been lighthearted.

    Rhett’s theory of Joe’s death rings really true. Now that I think of it that was a big factor for me. His decline was hard on the soul to listen to, and while I think it is an amazing “documentary” of his attitude and outlook on life, it wasn’t lighthearted or easy to listen to.

    Southland Tales was teh_good…but I am having struggles when it comes to ideas for submissions…I got soul but I’m not a soulja.

    I’m just ask’n

  522. justa J0e Says:

    BTW: I’ve started listening to the “Jack Wakes Up” audio series… it’s got nothing to do with Mr. Mangan! What’s with that!

  523. Vanamonde Says:

    Enjoyed Jack Wakes Up, struggled with sequel, and gave up on the sequel to the sequel.

  524. ditto Says:

    He don’t know Jack!

  525. justa J0e Says:

    I AM enjoying “Jack wakes up” (even though it is not about OUR Jack) but I must admit that I am surprised at the production mistakes that exist in the first 7 episodes. That has been out a while and I would think the author would have gone back and fixed them by now.

  526. jackmangan Says:

    Jeremy – if you *got* Southland Tales, then I’d say just go ahead and send in your interpretation (if you have teh time and teh inclination). Same goes for EssBee and Dub and anyone else who enjoyed it.

    Or of course, feel free to get creative with your take on it.

  527. Vanamonde Says:

    Well I haven’t watch ST yet, but does the above mean a DP ban on negative comments on the movie?

  528. Vanamonde Says:

    I mean more negative comments on the movie (judging from some of the posts you may aready more than enough negative commentaries).

  529. Vanamonde Says:

    +l +have

  530. jackmangan Says:

    I’d never want a ban on people’s honest reactions; negative/positive/whatever.

    “Repo Man” also took some abuse during the Repo Pan episode.

    Good point Rhett. I agree on the Joe thing. I can’t even bring myself to listen to the Joe tribute show right now. I think WI will always only be WI with Joe.

    Yeah, poor Teddy K. Brain cancer can’t be a fun experience.

    I noticed one of the google ads on one of the forums I was visiting had a link for http://www.gaychubbydating.com . I certainly don’t have a problem with people who happen to be gay or overweight but I didn’t know there was a market for gay chubby dating either and why a guitar playing site would get a targeted ad like that. I guess you can’t knock it until you try it right? :)

  541. Rhettro Says:

    Dang, I missed the naked jig. No cameras? Ah….

  542. Vanamonde Says:

    It is often said that book to film conversions suffer cos they differ so much from what the reader imagines.

    Take this excerpt from the beginning of HG Wells The Time Machine:

    “The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him)
    was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and
    twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The
    fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent
    lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and
    passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and
    caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that
    luxurious after-dinner atmosphere when thought roams gracefully
    free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this
    way–marking the points with a lean forefinger–as we sat and lazily
    admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it)
    and his fecundity.”

    When you read the above, do you actually create an image of a room and the glasses and the fire in your mind? Or do you just read the text and accept that this room has glasses and a fire within?

  543. EssBee Says:

    Van: I see the room and the glasses and the fire in my mind. What about you?

    Mr. Mangan: are you suggesting that I’m not taking care of “business” here in Vegas?

    Poor Ted Kennedy!

    I ALWAYS miss the naked jig. Damn the luck.

  544. Jeremy from Seattle Says:

    I see fire, glasses, gray eyes and the like.

    I am glad I got that stealth shutter installed on my camera…

  545. Vanamonde Says:

    I never ’see’ anything when reading. I enjoy stories for the plot, but don’t conjure up images.

  546. Rhettro Says:

    I did see the fire, the glint of the glasses and the grey eyes and a sense that everyone was enthralled listening to the time traveller’s story.

  562. Dubshack Says:

    Good lord I’m getting ridiculously busy here.

    WI3D: The final word, it ended because it was no longer fun for Mike. There were many, many other reasons, including many of the people and the attitudes expressed here, however these are so ancillary that there’s just no point even going there.

    Jack: I dunno who this chick is but the word is that she’s some phone sex operator but looks a little more like T-Rex from Orgasmo.

    As for Debbie’s “Yoko” comment… I’m not even going to comment.

    This weekend I will try very hard to put together my Southland contribution.

    Right now I’m involved in deep discussion with three other popular WI personalities to start a new podcast. I dunno if I want to say any more than that… Discussion is discussion, and I think the testing we’ve done so far shows we can do it, but we need more equipment testing and we need to I guess just do it.

    Finally I guess I’ll just say this… The people behind WI are both happy and sad to see it go. It most certainly needed to end and now it has. And now there’s not just an empty space, but a broken corpse that I’m seeing a number of podcasters pick over like vultures. Frankly it makes me sick. But whatever. It happens.

    This new thing, I dunno how far its going to go, but we’ve all ready made one thing clear… The moment it stops being fun, its over.

    Id sacrifice anything come what might
    For the sake of having you near
    In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
    And repeats, repeats in my ear

    Dont you know you fool, you never can win
    Use your mentality, wake up to reality
    But each time I do, just the thought of you
    Makes me stop before I begin
    cause Ive got you under my skin
