No tornadoes here today. Yet.
Morning Pan, up on a rainy morning in Longmont.
I’ve got short ribs rubbed in the fridge – 1/2 with my 4-3-2-1 recipe and 1/2 with a mustard dry-rub I’m trying out for the first time – and hickory chips soaking. I’m going to try to smoke them in the rain. Start cooking at 8:00 means BBQ at 1:00. My illegal gay brother-in-law and his family are coming for lunch today.
Ed, thanks for the recommendation on Prince Caspian. I haven’t seen the 1st film yet, but have it here to watch today.
Morning Pan!
Flood warnings in effect for the Bow and Elbow rivers so beware if you live near their banks.
Ok, going back over some of the past comments. Re: Parenthood = servitude.
I would often tell my girls I was only the three C’s as far as they were concerned…
… cooking, cleaning, and cash machine :)
(usually I said that when I was ticked off at them for something or other)
Sounds like a great party, SacreBlu! What’s in the dry rub? I like the name 4-3-2-1.
Just don’t add a 5 or I will be tempted to go stringy on you.
Off to see Indy 4…unless it’s sold out.
You make plans till the cows come home, but in my experience you never know how you will react when the shit hits the fan.
That goes for parenting, a spouse getting seriously ill, etc. etc…..
Be a treasure and put a ‘can’ in the above post.
Gawd that might get taken the wrong way, so +can
Morning Pan.
Sounds like it’s a nice day for a white wedding.
A nice day to, staaaarrrrt agaaaaaaain.
TEB – Re: the thee Cs – being able to say this with a smile is why any of us were allowed to live to adult … er, what ever stage of development we have arrested at. But it’s one of those “funny ’cause it’s true” things.
Smooth as Buttah – Re:4-3-2-1 Please self-refer to the Monte Python “Holy Hand Grenade” sketch as I haven’t had my coffee yet and am not up to “presentation speed” yet.
We all gotta duck, when Van’s can hits the fan!
/Rant
Some guy on Skype is driving me nuts!!!!
So far he tried to get me to add him to my contacts. When I refused because I didn’t know who he was, he tried calling me, then he tried IM me, now he’s trying to call me again!
I don’t mind talking on Skype (actually I enjoy it), but only if I know who you are. I hate it when complete strangers try stalking me.
/end rant
Isn’t there some sort of blocking feature?
Ahhh, Bow River is so pretty. At least when it’s not threatening to overrun its banks, I suppose.
Sorry you have a Skype barnacle, TEB.
Ok, didn’t think of that (must be all the rain making my brain turn to mush).
Just blocked him – Ha!
Did you have it set to “Stun” or “Destroy” ? ;)
I find that I occasionally get pinged by people I don’t know on Skype. Usually it’s by other people who live in Calgary (must just do a search on the city), but sometimes it’s the very strange SWM (or even SWF) looking for fun. I could never understand that.
J0e, I wish there was a destroy function. I always tell people if they want to Skype me, make sure I know who you are in the opening message or there’s a very good chance you’ll be refused :)
4 T sweet paprika
4 T Kosher salt
4 T garlic powder
4 T black pepper
TEB, tell that Skype fool to piss off.
Hope everyone is having a good, non-floody day. It’s actually COLD here today, but the smoker is still smoking so, I can’t complain much.
I just remembered that Andromeda Strain starts on A&E tonight, so must go set the DVR to record it.
Make that 4,3,2,1 above. And I haven’t even hit the beer cooler yet!
so that’s
4 paprika
3 salt
2 garlic
and 1 pepper
(stupid WP),
right EssBee?
Must try it
Ok, time to think about lunch.
According to my former friend of 21 years, none of you really exist.
Where’s Leann when you need her.
People seem to occasionally want to try to label folks one meets on the internet as “imaginary” or “unreal,” and it always puzzles me…
That’s it, TEB.
JB – how do you feel about “surreal” ?
I saw Indy IV. I enjoyed it, but it’s a distant 3rd to Raiders, while still being light years better than Temple of Doom.
SInce it is Memorial Day here in the states I thought I’d take a moment to mention my Grandmother’s brothers – Wilbur and Stanley.
They were born in Ohio (or Indiana – isn’t clear to me) so I guess that makes them midwestern farm boys.
Wilbur joined the Navy and was in what is now called the Seabees. He died when his under water breathing equipment failed.
Stanley joined the Army and was killed in France. He was shot by a sniper as he road in the back of a jeep … 2 days after the war in Europe had ended.
Lot’s of people have served in the military and certainly lots have died so I don’t mean to raise these two up as more special then anyone else. They were family though and my Grandmother still really misses them. They were just a couple of farm boys who stepped up when it was needed so I thought that mentioning them was the least I could do.
If you have room for an extra toast today, may be you can raise a glass to Wilbur and Stanley and to those who still miss them.
Yeah, I suppose surreal would cover it.
So back from seeing Indy 4 (no roman numerals it’s the 00′s for goodness sake).
Can’t disagree with Ed’s criticisms other than they didn’t stop me from enjoying the movie (the plot is S-I-L-L-Y). Nice to see the man with the hat is back.
The local arty farty cinema has been renovated and very nice it is too, even the toilets have been enlarged…so less queuing.
The UK equivalent of Memorial day happens in November (Remembrance Sunday is on the 9th this year) and it isn’t a bank holiday.
Most of my parents family survived WW2, although one Uncle was killed in the Atlantic when the ship he was serving on was torpedoed by a U-boat.
My grandmother’s 2nd husband fought in WWI, I remember the American flag over his casket at his wake.
One of my best friends growing up was deployed to Afghanistan. He came home and became a metro.
That’s about it for me, but both worth noting.
Shoobeedoo whop whop wow yeah.
Good Memorial Day afternoon, Pan. Spent the day with the extended family enjoying just about perfect weather.
My family has been fortunate as I’m not aware of any who have served that have died in war. I’m grateful for that and I’m grateful for all those who have given their lives so that I’m free today to be Deadpan.
I just got done with Balticon… It was very cool. I got meet alot of people Tee even kind of knew who I was. It was little creepy that very time I said farpoint people looked like I was talking about the dead.
Either that hate farpoint post Evo or they feel burned by Podango. I feel like have been riding a dead horse by pimping and following Farpoint show. I feel like have to dump my friend to me part of podcasting. I not alone when I say most of my friends postcaters. I hate to pick or not even get to talk about some friend around other friends.
Still very one is very nice to me. I just wish we could all be friends.
I saw the first part of the new Andromeda Strain. Wow. Uh…. Hmmm. It sure seemed like they didn’t have any science or military advisers on staff. There were some interesting moments, but for the most part, my wife & I kept stopping the DVR about every 10 minutes to talk about all the things they got wrong.
Saw the following on Crunchgear:

The devil makes time for idle hands.
Got the new Andromeda strain a while back, I quit after the first part.
Morning Pan, much cooler today, and off to work I go.
A shame about FPM TO.
Morning Pan!
Got hit with a massive amount of work late yesterday. Looks like a long day in front of the computer today.
Well Balticon was where everything went to shit last year so I’m not in any way surprised.
Good morning, Pan!
TEB, I just got to work this morning, and am buried as well, sister.
EssBee, I’m for a long lazy lunch in retaliation for dumping extra work on my desk. How about you?
New Watchmen news:
http://www.mania.com/watchmens-freighter-storyline-hits-dvd-early_article_58469.html
Sad day…
My NASCAR fix is done….
Why are my hands shaking…
don’t write post when listening to other podcast.
Well “I” shouldn’t write post well listen post casts.
I still have spelling and gramer problems. I love my wife and editer, Theresa.
I’m in!
Can I have a decoder ring, Trucker? ;)
There was Metal, there was fire and my ears are still ringing. What an awesome time! :)
Rhett, did the Rock you like a tidel wave?
oh, excuse me. I’ll try again.
*leans close to Rhett’s ear*
RHETT, DID THEY ROCK YOU LIKE A TIDAL WAVE?
JaJ – Man I am going to need my fix…. Don’t leave me hangin’ like this!
What was that?
I had wondered if Trucker had a bit of a demonic possession problem while he was typing earlier….
Oh, and I am quite well toasted from yesterday’s time in the sun. Thankfully, not crunchy.
Sing! a story when I tell you
I don’t wanna be brainless.
Crunchy toasted Texas Ed?
Texas toast?
Yes. The only question is: Was Ed buttered?
Van: :O !! That was crazy.
Happy post Mem Day y’all.
The Biggest Drawing in the World.
http://biggestdrawingintheworld.com/drawing.aspx
Someone did grafitti on the world.
Think I’m in the “just a cynical way of making more money” camp in regards to that Watchmen DVD.
Hopefully there is always room in deadpanland for a cute cat story:
http://tinyurl.com/4p5lkd
But I find the following quote a bit disturbing:
“She never complains, even though passengers touch her all over the place.”
Must be a few cat fondler’s in Japan…
Rhet – So tell us … Did the big hair flow free? Is you lighter empty from the power ballads?
Or was this pre- big hair metal?
Big concert weekend for me. Rhett and I went to see Iron Maiden last night at the Cricket Pavilion. (I see you snickering – - they put on an incredible show!)
Great great stuff.
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. . . .
That WAS a cute cat story!
Ballads? I don’t remember any ballads. LOL
Honestly, one the most entertaining shows I’ve been too. And technically, it’s NWOBHM not “hair” metal in this case.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NWOBHM
There was a lack of tiny stone henges, but there was a 15 foot tall zombie shooting band members toward the end. Oh and things on fire! wOOt!
I should have TinyURLed my Wiki link, WP does not like links to Wiki.
If in doubt visit tinyurl.com
Jack decryed that the last time he saw Maiden, they didn’t perform “Aces High.” Guess what the first song of their set list was yesterday. LOL
Trucker: 0_o
Could you please condense, spell check and resubmit?
Are you commenting from a blackberry or something?
A Leann sighting.
/faints in shock
I don’t need anymore shocks today….No really…No more….
Next someone will be telling me that the Cubs are going to win the World Series this year…and break their 99 year streak…
I have been around, just being a ninja.
Ok, ninja might be a bit much, more like gawker with nothing to say.
Yea! Leann is here!
You’ve been missed. :)
Van: You may be right, but fans of “Watchmen” have long wondered if the Black Freighter storyline would be part of the film or not. It’s an important part of the story, but it would be way too hard to incorporate it into the film. So, this DVD release is really just for die-hard fans.
I agree, but it’s something that could have been included when the film was eventually released on DVD/Bluray.
Yes, and I expect it will be included in some “special” collection. But for those that want to watch it when the movie itself is released….
I like “ninja” ! :)
Crap! Leann’s here??
*puts on pants*
Pants are required?
We don’t need no stinking PANTS!
Is it just me or has anyone else notice that FPM are dropping off like flies???
I think Trucker tried to say something like that, but I’m not 100% sure.
No pants needed.
That’s the rule at my house.
Some people make you take off your shoes.
I make you take off your pants.
In related news:
Did I mention that I was about 20 minutes late picking up Rhett for the concert. . . . ?
20 minutes, Jack? Really?
LOL!!!!
Nice Jack….you FuckR….in 140 characters or less tell us why.
Actually, I think my car’s clock read 6:24 when I arrived at Rhett’s house.
ahem.
There was still plenty of time to get a burger and buy a t-shirt before Maiden went on.
For the record, Jack was wearing pants when he picked me up, dropped me off and the entire time in between.
Yes, but were they zipped?
I didn’t look that closely.
LOOK!!!
A unicorn!
So Jack is a Replicant…that wasn’t in the book!
cough
Let’s play the twitter game!
I will say something really obscure and clearly snarky and directed at someone, and be mad, but never say what or who it’s all about. And then you try to guess what is going on and kiss my ass. Or I will say something like *headdesk* and you can direct message me and make me feel important.
Ready go!
Twitter is really really funny today.
@Leann do you mean “funny” as in people who have less than 2,000 followers are trying to talk to me funny?
Tweettaint.
EssBee: No I mean funny as in the usual sycophants are slapping each other today. And it is HILARIOUS to watch bitches bitchslap.
heh.
Stupid bitches.
@Leann so-and-so did whatchyamachallit. Tottary Rame.
How’s zat?
I feel like I only see the tip of the iceberg, all shiny goodness, with a dark foreboding shadow underneath.
Okay, you made me look, and you don’t lie. Stupid bitches.
@EssBee You found a unicorn horn?
I don’t have a clue and I’m pretty sure I don’t want one.
Currently playing: Criminal Mind — Gowan
*headdesk*
ok ask me.
What exactly is going on?
What exactly is going on?
The uncertainty principle says you can never know…..
Right.
Twitter rule #1
Never let anyone know exactly WTF you are talking about. It makes you more mysterious and attracts more inquiries.
Schroedinger’s Deadpan
if you peek inside the pan you’ll find a very angry and confused cat….
KEWL HHIP!
You can’t have pie without cool Hwip.
Oh, and if anyone is interested, this is what Jack and did on Saturday
http://www.vimeo.com/user501807/videos
and it didn’t involve cool Hwip or no pants.
I’m so jealous!
did we mention how much we hate you guys?
Aren’t we all Jack?
. . . .. . well, except for when I threw my underwear at Sting.
you said underwear.
Nickers is such a crude word.
PANTALOONS for heaven’s sake!
So when you hear thunder.
Never run under her knees.
They’ll be panties from heaven for you
and for me.
all encompassing underpants.
:-)
panties is such a geigh word.
Fishnet G-string?
Sorry what was the question?
My underpants are certainly all encompassing.
Well at least nobody mentioned skid marks.
Afternoon Pan, Home early, now at the bottom of current comments.
Should I go be cryptic on Twitter now?
Ok, I made nonsensical Twitter-age, mission accomplished.
Oooh, I wanna follow JB on Twitter!
reallybigthings on Twitter, but be warned, I last Tweeted May 1 before today.
ooh, I already do follow JB on Twitter!
Excellent work JB, but you shoulda added a *headdesk* or *grumble*
hehehehehe
Oops, sorry. Guess I’m not an overgrumpy Twitterer…
*facepalm*
OHHH yea!
Forgot about the *facepalm*
Good one!
It is clearly time to sloth out on my awesome couch…..zzzzzzzZzzZzzZZzzzz
I’m amybowen on Twitter, and I try not to be grumpy on there. When I am grumpy on Twitter, it’s always because of work, never because of other people on Twitter.
I follow you too, Amy!
I just got home from the Evil Empire, AKA Deathstar. Wow, what a craptastic job. Have I told you, Pan, that I work middle-management in the publishing industry?
I think that when I grow up, I will switch jobs and work somewhere in the substance abuse recovery field.
Whoa. It’s Leann. It’s like I spoke her name and she was there.
FYI: Trucker talks funny because he’s got Menengasia and he’s on the road so his wife can’t edit for him.
Also: Twitter is for stupid people. I’m surprised my mother isn’t on there. I don’t understand why Dani continues to bitch about the Obama fans on Twitter when clearly you can delete the fuckers and just listen to the other idiots you want to listen to. And I told her this and she’s like “But its a great way to connect with my listeners!” And its like, well clearly you hate your listeners, or you are without logic. Which is what I’m going with. She is definately without logic when it comes to Twitter.
Maybe that will be the first segment for Brain Bleach. Hamlet, as translated through Twitter. Including the 140 character limit.
Or maybe ten thousand years from now when Mankind is praying to the Twitter God for deliverence, and we get the vision of a little bird in the sky saying “Sorry, down for maintenance for a bit… Be back soon!”
Sounds better than my bottomrung deadend media duplication job. I figure I’ll grow up fast when the rug gets pulled out and I’m forced to take the next job that I get.
So 4runner repair – $4400. The conservative value of the 4runner if it was in working condition – 10K. I’m starting to think the best option it to have it fixed, then put it up for sale for 9K, pay off the credit card and use the difference for a down payment on a brand new car. What a pain in the ass. *headdesk*
Well, Dubshack, just let me offer to have Brain Bleach at the top of my list of shows that I shall promise to get around to making content for, but rarely, if ever, delivering. There’s a vacancy on that list of late anyhow…
Are we allowed to reply to a *headdesk* with a *footass,* assuming it seems warranted?
er, not that the 4runner repair tale deserves a *footass*
Oh yea Rhettro….let it go…..*facepalm*
That is wayyy too much money for repairs yo.
If I were to whip out a *headdesk* would someone here smack me down with a *footass?*
I think it would be a precedent worth establishing.
What about *vibratormursface*?
or *killsjchutchins*
