Evening, Van.
Good night, pimp.

Guys and Gals you were so fooking eloquent on your ST thoughts.
Ugh salutes you.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:54 am
I’ll be listening on the commute, so I won’t be able to let y’all know what I think of the ep until tonight, but it looks like it is all loaded up in iTunes ready to roll…

I see 47 minutes of Slandapalooza goodness waiting for me. I’ll be out of town until Sunday for my cousin’s wedding, so I’m not quite sure when I get listening to this worked in.
Have a safe and Deadpan weekend, everyone.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Okay after listening to TO’s bits, I know what my next DP segment will be.
How People’s behaviour on bank holidays prove God does not exist.
That should allow me build up a good head of steam for a sustained rant.
cough
June 5th, 2008 at 5:16 am
Morning, Pan!
Safe travels, Ed – very funny comments! Everyone did a great job!
Van, agreed. TO, blackface? Huh?
June 5th, 2008 at 5:23 am
Just wrote a comment that’s in murgatory. Help, Jack, help!
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

haven’t heard the episode yet, but here are my thoughts on Southland Tales (spoiler free):
Two things I found
1) you need to be in the right frame of mind to watch this movie
2) You need to watch the whole movie.
My husband and I started watching it a week or so ago but had to stop about a half hour or so into it because we had things to do. I couldn’t convince him to watch the rest of the movie, so I watched it on my own. I do not regret it.
The movie was very… surreal. Not at all what I expected. But I did get a lot from it.
It’s not a movie I would recommend to everybody. But it is one I would suggest to a certain few.
…This is how the world ends. Not with a whimper, but with a bang.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:52 am
I have discovered what is wrong with the world today…
I took my car in first thing this morning for some warranty work. There were 8 or 10 people there also dropping their vehicles off (first thing in the morning is a busy time at the dealership). Fully half of the people there wanted rides from the dealer shuttle to the train station.
The station is only a half klick (more or less 1/3 mile) from the dealership!!!
Good lord! My house is about two klicks from the dealership and I WALKED home. I can see a few people who can’t walk. I do understand that, but not everybody who wants to go to the station.
A little exercise (and I do mean a little) doesn’t hurt people/
- ok, done ranting.
- ok, done ranting now.
June 5th, 2008 at 5:56 am
It seems I’m double done ranting :)

Wow, eleven minutes in and all ready I could re-edit this for FPR into a long sequence of death threats against me.
That would be awesome.
And apparently I need to turn my mic down.. or some trim or something because my cut sounded horrible…
In fact, if you’d like to call in even more awesome death threats, here’s the number for that: 206-338-3753 or email them to me at dubshack79@gmail.com.
June 5th, 2008 at 6:53 am
I’m not going to threaten death, Dub. In fact, as I said, I even enjoyed the movie (us weird people must stick together).
June 5th, 2008 at 7:01 am
Darn there goes the fantasy of TEB v Dub cage match.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:06 am
No no, I ENCOURAGE people to call in death threats. I need content. *lol*
Hey! Someone caught the T.S. Eliot reference besides me! Essbee is awesome.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:06 am
You have … interesting… fantasies, Van 8O
June 5th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I listened to half the episode so far and I am in awe of everyone who submitted content. For a random group of people to forge bonds over a comedy podcast, the intelligence quotient is unusually high, either that or I am an unabashed kiss ass. Probably a little of both.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:20 am
As an aside, guess what DVD came in from Netflix last night? Yep, SLT. I am going to watch it and I am going try and put as much effort into my review as everyone else.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:27 am
Am about half way through the podcast. Did anybody watch the animated short on the DVD? I haven’t yet, but I think I will tonight.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Just finished the episode. I think that J0e’s comments on the movie come closest to my thoughts.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:50 am
I was hoping that my love of Donnie Darko would lend itself to me having an appreciation of SLT, but after Van’s comments, I’m not so sure.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:53 am
I have failed.
Due to my impending trip I wasn’t able to submit anything to the SLapalooza.
I will say that I really enjoyed it, and liked the little homage to Repo Man at the end.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:54 am
Wow.
Just finished listening. GOOD JOB Deadpan family!
… and as much as I hate it, gotta say “Thank You Dubshack”. If you hadn’t pushed the issue I never would have watched this film.
Mind you … it’s not the same “thanks” I would give you if you had introduced me to a film I could watch again and again … but I LIKE to watch the occasional “not normal” film and this certainly pushed the envelope.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:54 am
I was intrigued enough, I just ordered the 3 part graphic novel from Amazon.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Rhet – the good thing is that you (or anyone else who has listened to this Deadpan) won’t get caught “off guard” by this film and thus … stand a much better chance of enjoying/tolerating the film.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:56 am
I agree, TEB. JOe is a pimp.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:56 am
And me music.
Pixies/Jon Luvitz FTW.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:57 am
and by me I meant the.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Believe it or not … I actually edited quite a bit out of my submission for this episode.
One of the points that I cut is that this films “surface appearance” as a main stream film may have been it’s undoing for many viewers. We’re not use to our farces actually having the look and feel of a “real movie”
Southland Tales looked like a “normal” movie in a contemporary setting, so when “unreal stuff” started to happen it was more unsettling.
If it had been animation or set in a far future/past setting or even on another planet … I bet more folks would have been better able to accept it’s quirks.
It also doesn’t help that we may only be seeing pieces of the entire film.
… or maybe it does. ;)
June 5th, 2008 at 8:10 am
I think the undoing was the fact that you come in 1/3 of the way through the story.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:17 am
… that and the fact that we never see Sarah Michell Geller NAKED!
June 5th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Oh … should I have given a “SPOILER” alert before posting that ?
June 5th, 2008 at 8:18 am
My work system seems to have locked up as I am trying to save. If I lost an hour of work, I’m not going to be a happy camper.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Maybe naked SMG is in the director’s cut?
June 5th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Awww, J0e, wouldn’t you feel spoiled if you DID see SMG naked?
June 5th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Good Point TEB!
Since there’s just no way of really knowing until we try … I think we should run the experiment !
Someone contact SMG, Stat! Tell here it’s for SCIENCE!
June 5th, 2008 at 8:31 am
here = her
(I’m afraid the idea has me distracted)
June 5th, 2008 at 8:32 am
EssBee sounds a little too excited about that “directors cut” possibility … this also has me distracted ;)
June 5th, 2008 at 8:35 am
I’ve been listening to pieces of the show while running errands and getting packed. Thankfully, I had just pulled into the driveway when I reached Joe’s “Muppet” comment.
It’s also a good thing I wasn’t drinking at that moment as well, or I’d of had to call in a brand new dumb ass memory.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:37 am
You know what SMG was also in? Yep that’s right, “The Scooby Doo Movie.” Short purple dress FTW! Oh that and the MTV Spider Man parady. I wonder if that’s on Youtube?
Scoobydooapoloza? Um… forget I said anything.
June 5th, 2008 at 8:41 am
Well what do you know?

^In the Mr. Roboto sense, not the billiards sense.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Ed – sorry about that. :D
Interestingly enough, someone made a muppet comment here in the Deadpan after they had seen it. So there must be something there!
I liked your “Signal to Noise” comment.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:03 am
In Billards, Stix has their hands in your pockets.
In Politics Mr. Roboto is pocketing your stick.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:03 am
My car is ready. I think I’ll sneak off to get it, then have some lunch. Back in a bit!
June 5th, 2008 at 9:21 am
I have to say I like the Rock. Call me crazy….
I think he was directed to act the way he did. The lines in a lot of the scenes had that halting, long pause Lynchian feel to them in a way that had to be on purpose.
Also, I appreciate JOe’s Parody/Allegory comment. I think that it failed as a parody because it wasn’t outrageous enough. The visuals were for sure but the ideas were way to close to plausible to be funny, so it got kinda uncomfortable.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Holy SMG boobies at the end, Rhett!
June 5th, 2008 at 9:45 am
This movie most definitely overextends itself, trying really hard to touch on every single important issue. But hey, Richard Kelly gets an ‘A+’ for effort.
A lot of the wackiest scenes felt like strangeness just for strangeness’s sake. That can be done well, but here, it most often felt awkward and pointless and unfunny.
I’d recorded myself rambling through something like that for this episode – but I cut it because it was too awkward and pointless and unfunny.
June 5th, 2008 at 9:45 am
People aren’t hating me as much as I expected them to. Am I gonna have to drop a frickin’ bomb here or something?
June 5th, 2008 at 10:12 am
If there’s one thing I know Jeremy, it’s where to find boobies. LOL
Actually Dub, ambitious movies that fail are still perfect for the DeadPanpolooza treatment because they lend themselves to thoughtful critique. So even though I haven’t even watched SLT, it’s already been a sucessful DP episode. That’s why I have no problems recommending films like “A Boy and His Dog” and the original “Wicker Man.” Two films that I really didn’t like at all, but now kinda do because of all the analysis they inspired in me.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:35 am
Oh Jack, Mr. Squared says that Word Press is keeping him down. Can you go bitchslap the Man! Thanks.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:49 am
WP was apparently attempting to fit Mr. Squared into a round hole.
Geesquared’s comments (way up there) have been set free.
Sorry, Gee!

Oh that way pretty funny Gil. LOL

June 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Make mounds of Julian fries?
June 5th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
BAM!
June 5th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Whoosh.
I know not of this Julian fries.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Keep in mind that the spice weasle can become very dangerous when cornered.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I have to agree with the Sara Michelle Gellar observation. Other than her saying she was a porn star they didn’t even have a cut away of a simulated sex scene. It would be nice to see Buffy nude.
Some of you may not have caught it because he didn’t tag it. But there was the debut of Tosus in Germany from http://www.dergeek.com DING! In this episode.
He’s a good friend and are really cool guy. I can’t wait to see more of his talents used in the deadpan.
I’m trying to figure out if I need to edit my comments more so they don’t sound so bad when Jack reads them or just edit them less.
I guess the lesson to learn, I shouldn’t type with one hand when half asleep laying on my bunk.
June 5th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Wicker Man – so many different ‘cuts’ so little time.
June 5th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Okay you didn’t see SMG naked, but she did look stunning in ST.
June 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Tired. Is the day over yet?
June 5th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
2am and all is quiet.
June 5th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I once had a Poser model of SMG that was naked…
Not really the same thing.
June 5th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Inconceivable!
June 5th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I must admit to never feeling the need to download a hack that makes Lara Croft naked in game.
Amazons are under appreciated.
June 6th, 2008 at 3:45 am
I’m not one for the Dubshack hatin’. The syllable uttered in the slander gag could have been “Te-” or “Ev-” but I wanted it to be someone who’d actually hear it.
I’m thinking about buying the movie and graphic novel. I’m not holding out too much hope for DVD release of the “Cannes Cut,” but I definitley want to see it.
June 6th, 2008 at 4:55 am
Doing the palooza was fun even though I didn’t like the movie.
So no hatred towards Dub from over the water.
Looking forward to the next one.

Random Thought: We should build a giant bridge from Canada to the UK. But not from the US because they’re not part of the Commonwealth. *runs and hides*
June 6th, 2008 at 6:04 am
Thats ok, I dunno why we’re building a bridge from Alaska to Russia… Global Warming will bring back the Pacific Land Bridge eventually anyway…
Well it seems my “Death Threats for Dubshack” idea failed. Now I’m looking to interview the most boring person in Podcasting. Unfortunately Big and Tasty was unavailable and I haven’t been able to get a hold of Brad Bowyer…
June 6th, 2008 at 6:10 am
Aww, Dub. Would it make you feel better if I called in a death threat… even if I don’t mean it?
June 6th, 2008 at 6:22 am
Ok Dub, don’t say I don’t do you any favours :)
June 6th, 2008 at 6:28 am
What I lack in conviction, I make up for in imagination…
June 6th, 2008 at 6:41 am
Perhaps Dub, you should “open up” the Death Threat invite a bit.
Encourage people to call your comment line and make Death threats to ANYbody.
June 6th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Who do you want to threaten, J0e?
June 6th, 2008 at 6:55 am
I’d have to think hard to come up with someone.
I’m more of a “You’re Dead to me” kind of guy, rather then an “I want you Dead” type.
I was just trying to be Mr. Helpful here.
June 6th, 2008 at 7:16 am

The only problem with opening up the death threat thing is if someone actually takes it seriously…
What about death threats to L. Ron Hubbard? That would be amusing, since you know, he’s all ready, like… dead…
June 6th, 2008 at 10:58 am
He may be dead, but he cannot hide.

Yeehaw.
June 6th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I heard that Rodeohead tune through Rhett. Very well-done weirdness.
They obviously know both of those worlds very well.
June 6th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Wow.
I just watched ‘Vanilla Ski”.
man. that could be a “polooza” film.
I can see why it got so panned … I’m sure 80% of the viewers were expecting mindless action adventure.
Wow. Not a “great” film. I don’t think I’ll watch it again … but , wow. Freaky.
I need to go find a hug now.
Night Pan
June 6th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Never saw “Vanilla Ski.” Wasn’t that the movie about an average trip to the slopes? Now “vanilla Sky,” that was a freaky movie. I thought it was quite good and would definitely watch it again for an apoloza. :)
June 6th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Saw Iron Man tonight with my wife and son. Good movie!
June 7th, 2008 at 12:14 am
In regards to Vanilla Sky, you should also check out the original spanish film that VS was based on:

Unless you really hate, hatE, haTE, hATE, HATE subtitles.
VS is one of TC’s better movies in my view.

Greetings from Dallas, DP.
Had a little time, so I got caught up on comments. Safe travels to Jeremy. I expect a full report on how lucky his charms are…
We spent yesterday hanging out with our friend from college whose also my daughter’s godfather (and he’s Italian, so why not :)
We caught Kung Fu Panda yesterday. Definitely better than Indiana Jones. OK, that’s not saying much. How about this – almost as good as Iron Man! Definitely a recommend.
After the rehearsal dinner, we left the kids with my parents….and went over to our friend’s place to watch Battlestar. Yes, we’re geeks.
Today is pretty much full on getting ready for my cousin’s wedding. Man I’m getting old.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Hi Pan!
Enjoy that wedding, Ed!
Safe trip, Jeremy!
Van, I LOVE Radiohead. LOVE.
I’m done with my housework. Now I”m going to finish my Dresden Files book and bum about.
June 7th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I actually bought a copy of Vanilla Sky before I started banning all Tom Cruise movies. I agree, trippy movie. Ending was a bit between bizzare and a letdown I thought…
But damn, that does bring up one that would be along the same lines as Southland Tales, sans flying car/ice cream truck. Magnolia. Have you guys seen that? Holy shit is that movie fucked up.
June 7th, 2008 at 9:34 am
I love Dallas, the city, not the soap. LOL
June 7th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
I’ve seen Magnolia, no way as fucked up as ST.
June 7th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
The Roadhouse blues podcast is playing in the background.
I have the urge for a bowl of rice krispies.
The spell checker in Firefox throws up kriegspiel as a suggested word for krispies.
June 7th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
tangent – Firefox 3 RC2 is pretty cool. I’ve not had any problems with it so far (though, it looks like most plugins/addons aren’t updated for it yet, so YMMV).
June 7th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
[tangent]
I know this isn’t a popular sentiment around here but I’m saying it anyway cause this is a free country supposedly… Hilary Clinton rules!!!!!
Yeah I got weepy at her speech today
I had a dream of seeing our first female president in my lifetime, mehopes this country isn’t so bad of a lost cause that I won’t.
and I will end my comment by saying Obama in 08 bitches!!!!! No matter who his running mate is.

A rare sighting of the lesser spotted TSH.
June 8th, 2008 at 11:11 am
How does Van know we have spots?
Hugh sez: He knows our secret, we must find him and eliminate him. He threatens to expose our identities to these humans
Yeah! and then they will want to dissect us and experiment on us!
Hugh sez: I bet if you had spots they’d be so sexy on you
*swooon* Like Jadzia Dax?
Hugh sez: oooo yeah. Like Dax. Her spots were hot.
I wonder if any scifi geek ever went that far. To get Dax spots tattooed on them. I should do that.
Hugh sez: How far down would the spots go?
I think they should go all the way down to my feet
Hugh sez: and around all the right places. Yes, you need to go get spots put on you. Then I can pretend to be Kirk and you can be the hot animal alien babe I have to nail to further human-alien relations for the federations of planets.
LOL. You dorque
Hugh sez: You love my dorque
:)

I totally would do her in a second if she wanted me to. Shit, I might even purposely seduce her with lots of alcohol first to make sure she lets me do her
Hug sez: Well Dre, there is only 1 thing I can say to that: *swooon*
June 8th, 2008 at 11:19 am
BOO!!!
wordpress STILL won’t let me post links ever.. why is this Jackamo?
Maybe if I put the link in our name it will let us?
Ok so I put the link to a picture of Jadzia as our url. Click on it if you are interested.
Hugh sez: Don’t forget to tell them the part about you wanting to get her drunk so you can seduce her and have hot girl on girl sex with her and let me watch and join in after a while.
I remember saying I wanted to get her drunk and fuck her but I don’t remember saying I wanted you involved in this love affair
Hugh sez: :(
awww.. I was kidding baby. I want you there to watch and join in :)
Hugh sez: :) yipee!
yipee? LOL
June 8th, 2008 at 11:21 am
ok so what have you people been doing?
June 8th, 2008 at 11:28 am
k, so this is the Slandapalooza ep. We haven’t watched the movie yet.
Hugh sez: not sure when we will be able to either.
Yeah, we are here right now but will be disappearing again
it seems Jeremy is off to Dublin. I loved Dublin when we went there. Have fun Jeremy
Hugh sez: Yeah it was cool there. Have a good trip
it also seems that Ed is at a family wedding event. Hope that went well.
June 8th, 2008 at 11:28 am
oh and also it seems Mr G squared is among us.
Hi Gee!!!!
June 8th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Been to the pictures. Went and saw Gone Baby Gone, which I enjoyed.
According to the reviews it’s release date was delayed in the UK by six months because of a similar real world case in the UK (well the kidnapping itself happened in Portugal)
June 8th, 2008 at 11:35 am
OMG!!!! The latest Sex is Fun podcast is about anal sex! We must listen immediately!!!
Hugh sez: Jack my man. You know we love you because we are going to put off listening to the anal sex episode of Sex is Fun in order to listen to Deadpan. You should feel honored.
Jack, you really should. Deadpan before anal sex
Hugh sez: or we can just have anal sex while listening to Deadpan.
We could, but then we can’t play by play
Hugh sez: oh I don’t know. It might be fun to force you to post comments on the episode while I’m having my way with your ass. Punish you when you fail.
umm.. *swoooon* ummm.. I can’t concentrate now.
Hugh sez: just hit the ’submit comment’ button, babe.
*submit comment*

…. ok.. we’ll be back whenever we find that
*sigh*
June 8th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Wow we really suck.. we are all the way back at Unshow 13 back on May 3rd and still no play by play
sorry Jack
Hugh sez: I’m embarrassed at our lack of play by playing
me too. But wd keep coming up on Hugh’s NBA predictions and he would like to announce his prediction for the NBA finals
Hugh sez: *ahem* I Hugh Smarty Hottie of Chicago, iL do hereby predict (and hope for) that Boston will kick LA’s ass into next Tuesday
ok, back to searching for our last play by play
June 8th, 2008 at 11:49 am
LOL
and right after that I find our last play by play.. it appears it was on May 3rd

Hugh sez: ths is a mess. Does Jack really need us to keep tabs on the greasy spoons comments?
Probably not. I’m sure he keeps his own… umm. I hope he does :) Maybe I should ask him

*No, I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. It’s an innuendo that just never quite came together. Although THAT could be one.
June 8th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Dub – care to expound on that?
June 8th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
Well there was the whole medical thing a while back, and with the new project Jack(trucker) and a bunch of other people and I are working on, I approached Mike and Brian about podfading FPR, and I guess because of the whole medical thing they all ready had a guy ready to take over for me. It was just surprising, I guess he’s all ready got an episode up and everything.
I haven’t heard it yet, been too busy, but I’m almost scared… and yet don’t care so much… because I’d kind of rather do the other thing anyway….
June 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
just a Joe I heard you are ending cup car update. I haven’t listened because I’m not a NASCAR fan but I understand how hard it is to let something go.
I still enjoy all your comments on all the shows :-)
If you ever start something new let us all know.
June 8th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Hey everyone. Back from the business trip. This week will be hellish too, so probably not much posting from me.
I enjoyed everyone’s thoughts even though I still haven’t seen the movie yet.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
ditto: hellish, smellish! You comment now!
(srsly, I hope things settle down for you)
Dub, I didn’t know you also had TO involved in your new project. Best of luck to all y’all.
And w00t for the Smarty Hotties’ selfless play-by-play work on our behalf.
And w00t for all of the selfless effort from all of you guys.
Hope weekends were decent all around.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
It just won’t be Farpont Recap without Dubshack. That is whack….but, if it frees Dub and Trucker to turn their considerable twisted talents to a new creation, that could prove a winner in the end.
June 8th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Let me say, there were a number of previews before Kung Fu Panda.
Clone Wars looks like it will rock. Wall E also looks like it will be a home run for Pixar.
I asked my daughter which of the previews was her favorite. She said “Clone Wars”. I was so proud.
And, since we’re keeping track, Kung Fu Panda does not follow the white male hero and his adoring female attachemnt. For, while Jack Black does voice the Panda, both Angelina Jolie and Lucy Liu provide strong performances in their roles as part of the “Furious Five”.
Clone Wars is also noted for having a strong and extensive role for a female Jedi. And it looks like it will rock, did I mention?
June 8th, 2008 at 6:38 pm

Hmm, that’s odd. I had a comment in there about other summer movies that appears to have been eaten for some reason. Tardbot must be hungry tonight.

Very cool, Ed.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Adorable picture of the princess and the penguin, Ed.
Incidentally you and I are both now freed from murgatory.
And I agree – Clone Wars will most likely be better than any of the prequels.
June 8th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Personally I don’t think they ever caught the magic all the speeder bike chase scenes in the third movie and the battle sequence in the second movie.
I’m talking about the first trilogy.
Oh yes and the trench war in the first movie.
In the second trilogy.
I did enjoy the pod race. I like how they showed each lap. What felt like I was completely cheated when the kid destroyed the base ship purely by accident.
As for the rest of the series it was fairly unmemorable. Other than them fucking up Kischyyk or however you spell the Wookee home word.
June 8th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
The new Farpoint Recap isn’t all that bad. Trucker had me laughing my ass off on the George Hrab bit. And at first I didn’t know where the new guy was going with that intro, but DAMN, what a punchline.

June 9th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Not commenting one way or another on current US politics. I still found this amusing:

June 9th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Since I seem to be alone – I’m going to do the ABC’s of animal punning…
A – Aardvark
Aardvarks are puns in themselves so there’s not much to say
June 9th, 2008 at 6:20 am
B – Bat
awww, bats are cute. Who would want to make fun of them?
June 9th, 2008 at 6:20 am
C – Cat (see B)
June 9th, 2008 at 6:21 am
D – Dromedary (see A)
June 9th, 2008 at 6:22 am
E – Emu
A farmer bought an emu but he had nowhere to keep it so he put it in with the chickens. They refused to speak to it because it was so much bigger than them. After a few weeks it was feeling ostrich sized.
June 9th, 2008 at 6:26 am
F – Fox
That’s the women of Deadpan – can’t pun about that
June 9th, 2008 at 6:27 am
G – Giraffe
Whenever giraffes race they always seem to be neck and neck
June 9th, 2008 at 6:27 am
H – Hippopotamus
“I want a hippopotamus for Christmas…”
June 9th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Must do some work, will finish later

I – Iguana.
Iguana’s are sweet also. No pun to be found there
June 9th, 2008 at 6:45 am
J – Jackalope
… What do you mean there’s no such thing as a jackalope?!? Next thing you’ll tell me there’s no Easter Bunny :(
June 9th, 2008 at 6:46 am
K – Kookaburra
That name alone is worth a hundred puns
June 9th, 2008 at 6:47 am
L – Lesothosaurus Diagnosticus (look it up :) )
June 9th, 2008 at 6:48 am
M – Mouse
I think mice are very nice. We actually use to have them as pets when my Boo was little. Now we just feed them to the snakes
June 9th, 2008 at 6:49 am
On a side note:
Cat got hold of one of our snakes over the weekend. Now we have one fewer snakes. I’m trying to decide if this is a good thing or not…
June 9th, 2008 at 6:50 am
N – Narwhal
The unicorn of the sea!! Does that mean it’s only friendly to virgin mermaids?
June 9th, 2008 at 6:51 am
O – Ostrich (see E)
June 9th, 2008 at 6:52 am
P – Platypus

“Leave the platypus alone!”
June 9th, 2008 at 6:54 am
Q – Quetzal
Ha! Bet you thought I wouldn’t be able to find one

Big F’n rats with tails this long…..
Alberta is a rat free province. We have paid workers who patrol the borders of the province and make sure no rats come in either domestic or wild.
(really, we do :) )
June 9th, 2008 at 7:04 am
S – skunk
I knew of a skunk that fell into the river. It stank to the bottom.
boooooo
June 9th, 2008 at 7:08 am
T – Turkey
No pun again, but another true story…
When I was a kid and lived on the farm, we used to let our turkeys roam (free range). They were pretty stupid. They would go up to the horses and try to peck bugs from the horses’ legs. Horse would stomp its foot and plant the turkey in the ground. We would always start the year with about a couple of dozen turkey polts. Come Thanksgiving, they would only be one left – which is all we needed :D
June 9th, 2008 at 7:10 am
U – Uakari
This poor simian is a pun unto itself, but still very cute (like most monkeys)
June 9th, 2008 at 7:11 am
V – Vulture
When vultures fly, they always take carrion luggage.
June 9th, 2008 at 7:11 am

June 9th, 2008 at 7:19 am
Z – Zebra
While the zoo was verbally promised a zebra, it wanted to get it in black and white
(I know – what an anticlimactic ending)
June 9th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Seriously, Where is everybody????
June 9th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I’m So Ronery
So ronery
So ronery and sadry arone
There’s no one
Just me onry
Sitting on my rittle throne
I work rearry hard and make up great prans
But nobody ristens, no one understands
Seems like no one takes me serirousry
And so I’m ronery
A rittle ronery
Poor rittle me
There’s nobody
I can rerate to
Feel rike a bird in a cage
It’s kinda sihry
But not rearry
Because it’s fihring my body with rage
I’m the smartest most crever most physicarry fit
But nobody else seems to rearize it
When I change the world maybe they’ll notice me
But until then I’rr just be ronery
Rittle ronery, poor rittle me
I’m so ronery

That got that one good girl who has always been there man, like

Then one day she can’t take it no more
And decides to leave
Yeah
I woke up in the middle of the night
And I noticed my girl wasn’t by my side,
Coulda sworn I was dreamin for her
I was feelin,
So I had to take a little ride,
Back tracking on these few years,
Tryin to figure out what I do to make it go bad,
Cause ever since my girl left me,

I’m so lonely (so lonely)
I’m Mr. Lonely (Mr. Lonely)
I have nobody (I have nobody)
to call my own (to call my own,girl)
Can’t believe I had a girl like you
And I just let you walk right outta my life,
After all I put you through, you still stuck around and stayed by my side,
What really hurt me is I broke your heart, baby
You a good girl and I had no right,
I really wanna make things right, cos
Without you in my life girl, I’m so
Lonely (so lonely)

Been all about the world ain’t never met a girl
That can take the things that you’ve been through
Never thought the day would come
Where you would get up and run
And I would be out chasing you
Cos ain’t nowhere in the globe I’d rather be,
Ain’t no one in the globe I’d rather see
Then the girl of my dreams that made me be
so happy but now so lonely…

Never thought that I’d be alone (be alone),
I didn’t think you’d be gone this long, (gone so long)
I just want you to call my phone,
stop playing girl and
Come on home (come on home),
Baby girl I didn’t mean to shout, (Nooo)
I want me and you to work it out, (work it out baby)
I never wished to ever
Hurt my baby (Hurt my baby)
And it’s drivin me crazy cause I’m so..

Hi EssBee
Stupid joke of the day…
Red Riding Hood was walking through the forest when she came across a wolf.
“Oh, no,” said Red, “Are you going to eat me whole?”
“No,” replied the wolf, “I’ll spit that part out.”

June 9th, 2008 at 9:17 am
Hi guys.
Sorry WNDR. :(
That is all.
June 9th, 2008 at 9:29 am
No Problem Joe…
I wasn’t keeping up with Nascar before CCU.
I can not keep up after CCU… No Worries.
So I am wondering…
Which came first the Chicken or the egg?
June 9th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Depends on whether the chicken was being choked or not.
As it stands, I’m not much of a NASCAR fan, more of a time issue than anything. The ironic thing though was CCu was advertised for it’s lack of colorful banter etc. and was more of an informative podcasts, though justa joe is the master of colorful banter. Any hope of a colorful banter podcasts coming from JJ? I’d subscribe to that one. :)
June 9th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Had some wicked storms around here last night. My wife & I watched the top 1/3 of a funnel cloud form right above our backyard. Fortunately it wasn’t strong enough to touch down.
June 9th, 2008 at 11:03 am
Craziness.
June 9th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Scary, ditto! I’m glad you & yours are okay!
June 9th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Whoa. Glad your ok Ditto.
Seriously though guys, holy shit. That announcement I made yesterday was total BS, and yet everyone is so freaking faithful to ME, the new show of the Farpoint Recap has recieved a total of like five downloads. Which is about the exact total number of people I let in on the joke.
Holy crap. If you guys would have just listened to it, you’d have figured out it was a joke 17 minutes into the show anyway. Holy crap are you people loyal. The original Wine and Wingin’ It bit didn’t go over like this. *lol*
June 9th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Well the new 3G iphone looks very tempting at the new price. Just have to wait and see how much O2 is going to screw UK customers over the 18 month contract.
June 9th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Err I haven’t got round to listening to episode of Recap yet.
June 9th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Just add ‘an’ in the above,
June 9th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Back from errands.
Rhett – The irony was not lost on me. :)
Between Jessica and myself it was all we could do to meet our schedule. As indicated by her lack of presence here :( she got busy in the “real” world and it just became too much “work”. While I was proud of the show (and the fact that even non-NASCAR types commented positively on the shows quality) … the show became less “creatively” satisfying.
Funny thing is, I was only doing that podcast because it was the sort of NASCAR podcast that I wanted to listen to and no one else was doing it. I never had (nor do I now have) the urge to have my own podcast.
Personally, I’m hopeing that Jack will take me in. ;)
June 9th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
RE: Man vs. Nature
Why am I picturing Ditto in his back yard doing a Samual L. Jackson towards the storm.
June 9th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
JOe, sorry about CCU, but I totally understand how time commitments change. Thanks for all the hard work you and Jessica did!
June 9th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I was a little worried during the storm, but I wasn’t truly concerned. There were some missing “bad” factors, such as hail, that would have sent me straight to the basement instead of watching the funnel cloud.
But thanks for all the concern.
June 9th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Dub: You sly MF! ;)
June 9th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
There’s the open invitation Jack. Quick! Grab him!

I certainly understand how much work a podcast can be and how real life can creep in.
June 9th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I don’t know about you guys, but it’s been one bitch of a Monday. I can’t wait to go home.

Because there is always an open spot at Wander Radio…

EssBee – This day has totally sucked ass… and not in a good way…as in enjoyable… oh nevermind….
Rhettro – If you’re choking the chicken then I suppose that it would come first… Fuck it – I am going home.
June 9th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
No, WNDR, I totally agree with you. Bad way of ass sucking = today.
June 9th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

I was just thinking my day yesterday was a lot like Lifeforce, except without all the nudity.
Today promises to be more interesting. Me and the new Survey Department heads get to look at why one of the teams did a beautiful job on a project for two days, an not only surveyed a whole 100 acre stretch of road twice on a third or some day in between, but somehow managed to miss their benchmark by about six and a half feet.
And one of these survey managers, he has that look you know. That look like all he has to do is stare at you long enough before you burst into flames. And I don’t mean little homosexuals either, I’m talkin’ all out fire here.

June 10th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Ditto, we picked up the 4th edition set (players handbook, dungeonmaster guide and monster manual. We started playing the introductory adventure on Saturday. I like the colour coding of the spells etc. It’s much easier to figure out what you can do, when.
My husband has completely read through the player’s handbook, and he seemed happy with some of the changes.
Morning WNDR, Dub :)
June 10th, 2008 at 5:37 am
now it’s time for breakkie and to see how much reading I can get from my wet paper.

Morning, Pan.
TEB, our paper delivery person loves to throw ours under the car. It’s like a game. Do you ever think of canceling service?
June 10th, 2008 at 5:57 am
Morning EssBee. We used to get two papers. One daily and then the Globe and Mail on Saturdays (my husband liked to read the chess column). I cancelled the weekend paper because finding our paper was always an adventure and I felt I shouldn’t have to put on shoes and a jacket to look for my paper.
Our daily paper delivery person used to be pretty good. The paper was always in the mailbox. I’m assuming he (or she) is on holidays this week as delivery yesterday and today has not been so hot. However, I’m also the type to call in and complain if I find the paper unreadable. I figure I pay for it, I should be able to read it.
June 10th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I totally agree, TEB. As a matter of fact, I think I’ll call them now!
Our local paper is pretty silly, as it turns out, but I still like to know what’s happening in town.
June 10th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Well, the newspaper people phoned me back and apologized profusely. They’re sending me a new paper for today.

Oooooo…the old Incredible Hulk show is on SciFi…I can’t believe how cheesy it is. Of course, it was never cheesy when I used to watch it way back when.
Hehehehehehehehehehee…
June 10th, 2008 at 7:13 am
The only thing I can remember about the old Hulk tv series was the sad piano music at the end. Did they ever play that at the end of a Family Guy episode? Khewl hWhip.
June 10th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Yah, that’s the cool part, the theme song. Looks like an Incredible Hulk marathon.
June 10th, 2008 at 7:43 am
Definately a lot less “Hulk Smash!” in that old 70’s series. Plenty of Hallmark moments though. LOL
June 10th, 2008 at 7:52 am
TEB: Yeah, I’ll have to pick up the other manuals to relearn how to play. It’s been a long time. Now I just have to get a group together.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:19 am
Ditto, while it’s usually just my husband and I playing, we use Screen Monkey (http://tinyurl.com/29jsuf) when we play. It’s easier than constantly setting up and changing maps. Also we can see each other’s rolls and message each other snarky comments. Which is fun to do, even though we are in the same room :)
Screen Monkey is also good if you’re playing a group “long distance”
June 10th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I think if you combine Screen Monkey with something like Skype, you could, potentially have players across the globe.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Hey Gil! Screen Monkey!!!
June 10th, 2008 at 8:22 am
Sounds cool, TEB. I wasn’t sure if just my wife and I could play on our own. Sounds like it. Thanks!

The thing is that role playing takes a heap of time. When Teresa and I used to go to Big D’s (Derek not Diablo) house to game we had a blast. But ultimately the time commitment was to large. However, I think we could be persuaded to play a two hour scenario online. Hmmm… Okay work beckons.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:34 am
The only thing with playing just two people, Ditto is you either have to adjust the characters’ levels so only one or two can do the job, or the player has to multi-play several characters. (there have been times when I’ve handled up to 5 characters)
June 10th, 2008 at 8:36 am

I am really enjoying the new Call of Duty 4 maps….especially since us PC users didn’t have to pay extra for them. Definitely add a lot more of a 3D element to the game.

I would love to play! I have been looking for a group around here that would be patient with a beginner. One of these days . . .

There is nothing sadder than playing the first Computer Battleship by MB solo.
Although often as dumb as dishwater, AI opponents in the 80’s computer games were great for solo play.

I had the original Battleship boardgame from the 50s or 60s. The cover art was of the Dad and son playing at the table, with a clear view of the mom and daughter doing dishes at the kitchen sink.

Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky with
Some who say I’ve lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find
You were always so far away
I know that pain so don’t you run away
Like you used to do
Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns beside the leaves
That fall because my hand is
Pulling them hard as I can
You were always so far away
I know that pain and I won’t run away
Like I used to do
Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color taste
You were always so far away
I know the way so don’t you run away
Like you used to do

Well, I heard the crowd singin’ out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne
By the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin’ on the drums
And I heard the police playin’ with their guns
But I never heard nothin’ like you

Okay, EssBee got my attention. :)
Today’s been the bad kind of headbanging. I’ve got a deadline on Friday I can totally meet, but tomorrow I have a series of meetings to attend about getting the deadline done, that may make me miss the deadline. =P

EssBee as hot as that is. I’d never know how to respond to a joke once a woman throws their breasts into it. Case in point I was making a joke about being able a see boobs any time I want by like taking my shirt off. To which tall grrl in the same chat room said she could do the same. At which point there was nowhere else for me to take the comedy. It seems that breasts bring the conversation to a halt. Even just in chat.
For example I was talking to Nathan Lowell. In the middle the conversation he looked at me funny and then stopped talking altogether. Apparently in a room of the third-floor a couple were changing the costumes at Balticon. Where Nathan was he had a perfect view.
I guess my question is where’d you take a conversation after breasts have been involved? That is if you want to continue the conversation?
June 10th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I wonder what EssBee typed with the *boobkeyboard*

So … (dot dot dot)
I spend a fair amount of time poking at the stock market with a sharp stick in a futile attempt to annoy it.
I know that most people don’t want to know about such things but I was just sent an e-mail that so nicely summarized one of the current financial scenarios, I just had to share.
(You may want to clear a crash landing area on your for your head BEFORE reading)
++++++++++++++
1.Government announces the issuance of stimulus checks.
2.Fed opens the discount window to Wall Street investment
bankers, giving them CASH in exchange for the illiquid, dead money, subprime mortgages they wrote.
3. Wall Street Investment banks put the fresh cash to good use,
buying $100+ futures contracts for oil and issuing $200 price targets for oil.
4. America receives stimulus checks via the mailbox.
5. America deposits stimulus checks via the gas pump.
6. Wall Street receives stimulus checks via the “oil futures” contracts.
Pretty neat trick huh.
A transfer of wealth by any other name…
is still a transfer of wealth.

“In the absence of a gold standard, there is no way
to protect savings from confiscation through inflation.”

EssBee – if it makes you feel any better, there is a good chance that “Washington” doesn’t realize their part in this ongoing financial fiasco.
All of the “financial legislation” and “financial packages” that are voted on and approved in Washington are actually written by “advisors” from the financial industry. These things are written to be far to convoluted and obtuse for the politicians to understand.
So it’s probably not “conspiracy”, just ineptitude and a willingness to hand the keys of the Hen House over to the smiling fox who is holding a bag of cash and saying “trust me”.
I don’t know how that would make one feel better but maybe it’s something.
