I’m swoozy at the sight of an early deadpan episode.
Morning Pan, games I’ve bought and haven’t opened:
Diablo 2(yeah still haven’t got round to that)
Homeworld
Full Spectrum Warrior on the original Xbox
Excalibur King Arthur Advanced Chess Game (a chessboard with a computer built in)
Too many shiney things in life…

Jack, it was an excellent episode!

Just listened to the episode: All bow down and hail my greatness! (I figure I have a better chance of this then actually claiming my prize
)
Yes Jack, there is a Denny’s in Calgary, although I think there is only the one. The equivalent here in Calgary would be Humpty’s.

“A 55 pound sack of cement fell from the sky through the roof of a Moscow home last week. It was dropped by a Russian air force plane that was seeding clouds for weather control. The cement was supposed to have been pulverized into powder that’s released into clouds along with silver iodide and liquid nitrogen to force rain.”

That’s a nice write up on FF3. I must confess, I’m not sure I understand what the purpose is of tagging my bookmarks, though.
June 19th, 2008 at 8:24 am
It’s an alternative way of searching/querying your bookmarks. You can hierarchically organize your bookmarks into folders, but sometimes you lose information that way. With tags, you can associate extra information.

Re: Cement artical - what is moral damages? I understand mental suffering.

Just installed FF3. Slightly different tool bar look, but otherwise feels pretty much the same. Will have to try out some of the new features… eventually.

It could be argued that you should wake up and not know where you are at least once in your life.
It’s still on my todo list.

Van: It’s not that fun.
June 19th, 2008 at 9:56 am
ditto/Van: the waking up part is not that fun, PLUS you don’t remember what you did, so where’s the fun in that?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:09 am
Actually, it’s happened to me sober. I was traveling a lot at the time, and woke up in a hotel completely confused and a bit panicky about where I was. Waking up that way is not fun at all.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Well memory can come back later.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:25 am
But I’ve never had the memory blackout with booze, I start feeling like I’m going to puke way before that can happen.
So any humilating actions on my part come back to haunt me the next day.

She’s a WNBA (women’s US pro basketball) player who is playing on the Russian team for the Olympics. People here are all up in arms “she’s a defector!” about it. Her position is that she’s old for a pro athlete (31) and wasn’t invited to play on the U.S. team. Since it’s been her dream to be an Olympic athlete, and since she has dual Russian citizenship because she plays pro bball there in the summers, she’s playing for Russia.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:01 am
The link didn’t work for me either. But I think it’s good on her. You go where the dream takes you.

I have to agree Van. As much as I enjoy NHL hockey. I found I enjoyed Olympic hockey less once they allowed NHL players to participate.
That being said, however, in this case, since they do allow pros, she might as well follow that dream.

I’ve gone on travel and forgotten my suitcase.
“How can that be?” you might ask.
I’m asking that as well.
It was a last minute sort of thing. I was scrambling to get equipment in the car, get directions (and get them printed), get packed, pack a cooler and get out of town before the impending rush-hour traffic.
Well … I beat the traffic alright. Somewhere in a quite, darkened house … my tooth brush and a neatly folded, fresh change of clothing are mocking me.
I guess I’ll be going shopping today.

But then I discovered we’d blown a head gasket on our Samurai. So now I’m stuck with the car where I’ve replaced the drivers side window with a towel, and my wife gets to drive to work with a case of oil in the passenger seat every day.
So now today is more like someone inserted a soccer ball into my anus.

Watched Donnie Darko last night. I liked it, but didn’t entirely get it. I wish Netflix sent the bonus material discs with the main movie discs — I think the special features on that one might have been interesting.

EssBee- Understanding Donnie Darko really requires multiple viewings. And the directors cut.
But mainly just the directors cut. They added this whole chapter thing with short passages from the book and it explained a great deal. Its a lot like what they did with Southland Tales, except it actually worked in Donnie Darko’s case. There’s a lot less going on in that movie.

The wife and I watched “Jumper” today while doing some chores. Southland Tales was more coherent.
Jumper had such potential, yet was so poorly executed. I’ve never read the book, so I don’t know if the source material is any better…..though it’s hard to imagine it could be worse.

I suppose I should get FF3 one of these days.
So I actually had a drink with Evo Terra last night at the Four Peaks brewery. That’s about all there is to this story. I hadn’t seen him since last year.

Interesting. I emailed him a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned the need to share a beer sometime. As it turns out, my kids are visiting the grandparents in Kansas until July 8th and Teresa is flying out to Kansas July 2nd to spend the holiday with them. So I’ll be free for much debauchery over the 4th of July.

I may try the Scottsdale Guitar Center to on the off chance they have one. Or I could call first. LOL
June 24th, 2008 at 9:37 am
Okay what are the added features of FF3?
I obviously don’t use a browser to it’s full potential, as apart from the change in the look or of FF3, I’m not noticing any big differences to FF2.
June 24th, 2008 at 9:44 am
I used FF3 for a grand total of 15 minutes last night, so I’m not familiar with all the new features. LOL But speed comes first to mind. It loads pages a lot faster than FF2 and feels snappier over all. If you type the URL in the address window FF3 will start to guess what address you want and start displaying choices, but beyound just the address, it displays the site name as well. There’s a new tab for most visited sites that is pretty cool. Those are the features I noticed.

Write them down quick so you don’t forget them.

I have a dumb ass memory that needs to be recorded. But, suffice to say, boobs can be very distracting.

Speaking of that, I was actually going to call this episode “Gulliver’s Nipples”, but I figured that title might cause weirdness for some people on their work computers, so I went with the much tamer “Greasy Gulliver”.
But the library still calls us Tasteless and Obscene. Bah.

ditto, you have to now come through with that story. My stories do not involve boobs, I don’t think. So much of life does, though, doesn’t it?

Now that I have my life back, more or less, I’ll have to find a way to contribute more to the Deadpan.
