Good to have you back EssBee.
Your 2nd comment is freed, Cynful.
Welcome back, EssBee!
How is everyone today?
I got nothing but grumping this morning.
“Grumping?” I had some coffee and generic knockoff of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
My reflexes aren’t fast enough for the Ninja Gaiden games, I never get very far in them.
Not enough legroom on the train, couldn’t stretch out, so ache all over.
A grumpy /Jack…should we all back away slowly?
Oh and welcome back Essbee.
What are you finding annoying about the commentary in C2C Cynful?
Cinnamon toast is something I’ve never got the hang of.
Of course if I had done a wiki search first, I would have known Rhettro was having some breakfast cereal…
Yeah, it’s not the single serving like in the link below, but the same product.

Van, how was the Tate?
Yes, do tell, Van!
Cynful has me curious. What in particular are you having problems with at C2C? I’m not a regular listener to C2C as I don’t have a lot of time for reading. I tend to look over their interview list to see if they’ve talked with anyone I’m familiar with such as R.A. Salvator.
Pod Tate?
Oh the Tate was great. Went to see the following exhibition:
http://tinyurl.com/5jd429
Ok I’ll have to admit to a doh! moment. I hadn’t read up on the exhibition before I went, and was under the impression it was about western artists visiting China, As I mentioned earlier, turns out, oriental was also used to described the Middle East, so the exhibition covers Western painters impressions of the Arab world.
Was interesting to see how male painters portrayed the harem (a place they weren’t allowed to go in) and the few female painters who could actually enter the harem.
After the exhibition had a look at some of the Pre-Raphaelites that Tate Britain has, the highlight for me being the Lady of Shallot:

Very nice Van.
It’s been a while since we’ve posted about our favorite painters. I’ll post mine in a WP friendly two links at a time way. ;)
Thomas Hart Benton
http://tinyurl.com/6jhnop
Probably my favorite painter. I’m a big fan of his work, although I understand as a person he was a bit of a hole.
Roy Lichtenstein
http://tinyurl.com/h2o9t
Every comic geek should like Lichtenstein. When I was an architect intern in Dallas, one of the law offices we did had an original Lichtenstein in it. Of course he was alive at the time.
Georgia O’Keeffe
http://tinyurl.com/5z9w8a
Loved her skulls and flowers.
Yves Klein
http://tinyurl.com/5scbn3
Not so much a fan of the art, but I really liked his choice of *cough* medium. :)
I suppose because lately it seems they are getting away from the love of books, authors and writing and more onto the political aspects of the world. Yep, I know where we are and what we are facing. I know how writers are influenced by the environment around them. I also know its their podcast and they can do wtf they want with it. It just isn’t the reason I tune in and personally its turning me off.
On a more positive note: Good song
http://www.imeem.com/people/Hj-d0/music/QQP7Kydx/jose_nunez_bilingual_dirty_mix/
Lyrics:
Your taste is something Godiva couldn’t re-create
Needing every atom of your anatomy
Necessity is placed upon me knowing you are the source of my serendipity
Dipping in and out of me stroking more than my consciesness
Subconsciously I find myself rewinding our love scenes
In my daydreams
Seeing that face you make when you’re making me cum
And it makes me want you right there and then
Thinking of you in inappropriate places I get
Tingling sensations in private locations where I wish to be caught between a rock and your hard place
As wetness develops my legs begin to open and my spot turns to a backdraft and all I want you to do is extinguish it
You know my body like the back of your hands
And touch me and send me into ecstacy
My thighs quiver in anticipation of deep penetration which gets me high
Body rising
Sweating
Panting
Make-up melting
Pulling my hair and
Scratching my back
I get a temporary case of tourettes because all I can say are four letter words in a four octave-range screaming your name
(Spanish)
You fucking me makes me bilingual (x5)
I see your tongue pink between your lips and I want it between mine
And I struggle
As you lick torturing me
I try to get away but
Not really
Running out of room begging for more up against the wall that has been scuffed by my stilletos
Again
You pry apart my thighs and tell me to be still
And I willingly submit to you because I love the way you dominate me
Demanding that I cum for you so I do as I’m told
You’ve molded me so I’m good to no-one else but you
You’ve conquered this once orgasmicless world and multiplied it
Again and
Again
My face radiates with after-glow
My pillow scented by you
A fragrance which haunts me
My room smells of the best sex
I
Covered in body prints and finger prints and you above me
Your name written indelibly upon my body in your genetic history
You fucking me makes me bilingual
Yeah, they have a penchant for getting derailed by politics. LOL
Sorry, what was I talking about again?
Wow, it’s hot in Colorado today, Pan. I just hung laundry on the clothesline and am now sweaty and bleh.
Did I tell y’all what we went to Albuquerque for? We went to the Mariachi Spectacular, and it was really worth the trip.
I’m with Jack today — grump, grump. I think it’s the knowledge that I have to go back to Evil, Inc. in a day and a half. What a buzzkill.
Hi, Cynful!
One of my faves from the French Quarter:
http://www.michalopoulos.com/
I’m afraid I’m a bit of a cultural philistine when it comes to abstract/surreal art.
Cool stuff EssBee.
When I was younger, I liked hyper real, airbrushed images. My dad would say to me that the invention of the camera made realism in painting obsolete. He would then go on how good painters would bring something to a painting that a camera couldn’t. I never really understood that until I finished college. These days my thinking resembles my father’s. When I look at art I look for emotion, message and composition, not just skill at recreating the real world imagery.
I’m not saying that is the correct way to view art, it is just my way. :)
Rhettro: I agree. There are many ways to look at and to define art. And different isn’t necessarily bad. I’ve learned a lot about modern art, especially abstract expressionism lately. But, I’m still not a big fan of surreal art. Like anything, it totally depends on the piece.
Well put ditto, and I think different pieces bring up different standards to be appreciated by.

Hey ditto,
Good news for those of us with a Netflix account and an Xbox 360.
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20080714/D91TPM580.html
What’s the crust filled with again?
How on earth did Lulu.com ever get a good reputation?
If you select the cheapest postage for a book, Lulu claim that they will not refund if the book gets lost in the post.
It’s the only mail order company that I’ve ordered from that makes that claim.
Rhettro: It’s filled with love.
Got the Netflix account. Damn. I need an Xbox now. :)
Someone’s taking their love of pizza making too far.
They are just spreading their love a round.
Netflix sells a standalone player for $99 that will let you watch the downloadable movies on your television. So that may be a cheaper option if you don’t want to fork out the $299 for the 360. :)
Did you happen to notice the next Failblog post down? Maybe you can wash down your sperm-crust pizza with some Pet Sweat water.
And oh – btw – from yesterday — thanks for spreading the word, Amy Bowen! And I’m happy for MWS. He’s a good guy, and Brave Men Run is definitely a worthy book.

Jack: Yeah, I did. I’m sure the stripper below that one appreciated the drink. ;)
Well one of the waiters at a local curry restaurant was supposed to have jerked off into a curry bound for a group of drunks giving him a hard time.
Whether it’s actually happened or just another urban myth I really don’t know.
I bet that curry had spunk.
Are you sure it wasn’t the short-order cook?
Just
wrong.
Aw, c’mon, Jack. It’s just a little comic… relief. ;)
Too much haggling with his tip?
[too obvious] Drunk diners: Hey waiter, we ordered our curry 20 minutes ago! When is it coming?! [/too obvious]
[jaj drive by]
The mistakenly didn’t bother to ask what put the “Tim” in the “Tim Curry”
[/jaj drive by]
Maybe they’d ordered the Jamaican-style jerk curry?
Is that the one with the pulled pork?

Just got home from seeing Hellboy II. I’ll be giving it 5 out of 5 nipples in a review on my blog later on (got a lot of catching up to do there).
Tonight: ungross pizza and iced tea. No beer for me cuz I’m still doing the antibiotics for my sinus/ear infections. Boo hoo.
Wow that was a long day.
EssBee…. Thanks for the tip. I kinda wanted to see HB2.
I can’t believe it, am I really the first to be wishing Andrea Smarty Hottie a happy day of her birth here near the very end of said day!?
Nice pic choice from the Tate ex. on the PRB, Van. Alas I know that work, and other favorites of mine, only from plates in books…
Happy Birthday, Andrea!
Just back from seeing “WALL-E”
IMHO – PIXAR hits the cover off the ball again!
Everybody is doing animation but very few do it THIS well.
In fact, I should say “Everybody is making [i]movies[/i] but very few do it this well.”
I give it 3 thumbs up (I keep a severed one in a jar for just such emergencies)!
(bad Yiddish)Hkahpy Birthday Andrea! (/bad Yiddish)
Jack: You’re most welcome! :-)
Andrea Smarty Hottie: Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, Smartie Hottie 1!
And yeah, Wall-E was excellent. Bravo to Pixar…. and to J0e’s severed thumb.
Morning Pan,
Happy Birthday TSH.
Ungross pizza?
Hopefully I’ll get to see an early showing of Wall-E on Friday, so they won’t be wall to wall families in the cinema.
awww. thanks guys :)
I haven’t been around so I might of missed this if j0e didn’t email me.. thanks j0e, and everyone.
[nervous] ummm.. how did JB know???? [/nervous] ;) just kidding
Happy Belated, Andrea!
You do anything special for your birthday?
Happy Belated x2, Andrea!
Victory against the march of time, still don’t need fillings!
Of course I only have one tooth left in my mouth….
I was fibbing about the last line.
Ah, so you have *two* teeth then. ;)

well, ditto, I thought it was really fucking special :)
there was some good news for Dre swooonage in my email inbox this morning. The 33 1/3 book series is doing the Afghan Whigs album Gentlemen and Amazon has it on pre-order for Sept 2008 release!!!
amazon link for da book:
http://www.amazon.com/o/asin/0826429106/heideldesign-20
meh. wordpress wont let me but a link for the book on Amazon :(
Read this swooon-worthy intro:
“In the absence of love, there is loneliness, sorrow and desperation. And that’s where I come in.†–Greg Dulli, introducing “When We Two Parted†onstage in San Francisco
Like no record before or since, Gentlemen is fraught with the psychological warfare, bedroom drama, Catholic guilt, reprehensible deception and uncleansable shame that coincide with relationships gone seriously wrong. This story explores what happens when intellectual sophistication is star-crossed with outspoken braggadocio, a charismatic mixture that managed to alienate the mainstream horde and arms-folded indie scenesters while, for good measure, incited outsider jealousy and condescending rumors advanced by the Fat Greg Dulli ‘zine. In addition to dissecting the record’s organization, arrangements and lyrics, as well as examining old articles, reviews and interviews, this book delves into the memories, experiences and influences of the Afghan Whigs, most notably those that drive Dulli, a polarizing frontman whose fierce pretentiousness, GQ appearance and gloves-off boisterousness concealed deep-rooted mental depression and chemical dependency.
*swoooooooooooooon*
Shout out to jeremy, I’m going to get an iPhone soon, and I’m wondering if anybody released a addon for Safari that makes reading webpages with long comment sections (like Deadpan) easier to read on the iPhone?
You appeared to have solved the problem, but that could just be me remembering things wrong.
*swooooooooooooooooon*
:)
yay ditto :)
Van – I don’t think they have. Hugh has an iPhone and he doesn’t remember seeing anything like that.
Hugh sez: Is there anyway I can justify getting the new fancier iPhone?
Yes! Get a new one and give me your old one!!! ;)
Hugh sez: hmmmm.. I’ll think about it birthday girl
heh. Now I gotta be nice to him all day so he will do it!
Alright kids, we’ve got shit to do.
Smarty hotties out
Damn and blast, I’ve ran out of Wander Radio episodes to listen…
Van – There are only 30…
And the first 6 suck…
Wander Radio may re-open its doors in September….
Dr. Horrible AAAAYOOOOOOGA!
This is your Dr. Horrible alert!
1st ep out today but the site has been overrun and doesn’t work.
the Ep is available on itunes … for $1.99
However, I looked at the 15 second sample you get and it is like Joss heard “Skull Crusher Mountain” and decided to make a show based on THAT characture.
I am soooo hot to see the rest of this that I may upgrade my iTunes software so I can actually use the pay function to get it!
Thanks for the heads up JJ. Any hope of getting a format that will play on a PSP?
what is that … like 64 bit?
(snickers at his last stupid geeky comment)
I’m not sure what format it will be available in from the Dr. Horrible.com web site. They say to just keep trying. If anyone manages to get through maybe we can set up a mirror share of some kind for the Deadpan community.
PSP – Playstation Station Penis, erm.. Portable.
Hopefully it’ll get releast in some kind of MPEG format, although I’ve heard rumours they may distribute a DVD at the end of it’s run.
releast=released. There I go, trying to rewrite the language again.
It’s the releast you can do, Rhett.
I’ve seen you guys buzzing these past few days about Dr. Horrible, but I have only the vaguest idea of what it is.
I had alread listened to 29 and 30, so I went and listened to the other 28 episodes of Wander Radio.
Looking forward to 31…
http://tinyurl.com/6m46hr
will explain Jack.
Van – Shoot me an e-mail and I can help you out. How far have you gone?
WNDRWolf, I managed to download and listen to all the episodes without a hitch.
I was just being whistful about catching up on all the episodes (all good things must come to an end..)
Ahhh.
Ok
I mis understood.
I did not realize I actually had listeners that were going to miss Wander Radio…
who knew…
Hey Wolf,
I’ve always liked WR, but I was running out of time to adapt more podcasts. Of course with the recent rash of podfade my schedule has opened up and WR is a permanate fixture now. I enjoyed your Trucker interview last EP. :)
Well. Then I guess I need to anounce here that Wander Radio website is down and will be for a while. Sorry to disappoint.
Oh well, good things come to those who wait. But as a Master of Patience, you knew that already.

I am sorry to here about wndrwolf… I know stuff will get better.

Thanks for the Dr. Horrible info, Van. I’m kinda like the dad in Holy Grail when it comes to musicals “Stop that singing!!”

And why is a link prefaced by “Video of a shirtless man losing his mind…” so irresistible?

Naw. That’s pretty standard in anything nowadays.
I enjoyed the First Ep..was coming here to spread the love, but I see its been spread…
Who knew?
You guys have done some really nice stuff with the Deadpan portion of the Farpoint Forums. Gosh, thanks. I’ll have to poke around a bit more, when I get time.
Fantastic Podtaint topic starter by Ed from Texas. What it took me 2 podcasts to say, he wrapped up eloquently in one brief post. Also, great stuff about the female roles topic from Chris the Fixed Kitty.
Speaking of podfading…
http://www.farpointrecap.com/2008/07/15/fpr-012-lazy-show-title/
Andrea, a little Skype told me…
ACK!
Maybe some of you lucky so-and-so people who have been able to view Dr. Horrible could post the link that worked for you.
I STILL can’t get through to the site. :(
It’s a timing issue, JOe. I managed to get to the page late this afternoon. Now you have all the evening surfers to contend with. It may get better later tonight.
Yea!
Finally got to see it. Fun!
Jack – I am amused that you are a musician that doesn’t like musicals. Is there irony there somewhere? I’m too tired to divine it.
Night mush.
Hey….. were you singing in that last post??? No singing!
Morning Pan, the sun i shining and the wind is blowing hard.
Keep those fingers crossed that I can actually get tickets for a Martha Wainwright gig.
Do I get the biggest Deadpan loser award for being very last to wish Andrea a most belated happy birthday?
Or do I just claim being earliest for next year :)
FYI – Colbert is back from vacation. You are free to rejoice.
So, I see on the news this morning, that some self appointed group has voted Lord Voldemort as the greatest movie villain of all time.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy Harry Potter at least as much as the next guy. But, best? Better than Darth? Better than the Agent from the Matrix? Better than Khan from Star Trek 2?
One thing that I find about these “Top” whatever lists is that they tend to favor things that have been most recently in the media and thus are closer to peoples memories, rather than those that are more objectively thought about.
Ah, well.
With instantaneous information, are we losing memory? That’s an interesting thought Ed.
Now…what was I saying again?
Ed: I vote Uwe Boll as greatest movie villain of all time.
Seconded. ;)
Oh my God, Jack! “Watershed.” Talk about the light and the darkness. I was unprepared for the female vocals, flute playing, hammond organ and the detuning guitar. Opeth have out done themselves this time. I’m happy to see that the jazz influences are more tame and the classic ones are more promenent. Could be their best work yet. :)
I don’t know Bo ll
Christopher Walken as “Max Zorin” in “View to a kill”. Bad film by even Bond standards (with “Moonraker”(gag) at the bottom) but Walken was just creepy insane. Was it acting?
“Watershed”???? (psst … hey buddy, you holden’ a link?)
I don’t like many musicals either, but I’ll make an exception for Dr. Horrible.
That freeze ray song is catchy.
Calling all Sci-Fi book buffs.
Trying to re-locate a Sci-Fi book from my youth.
The plot revolved around a group of youth (maybe brother and sister?) on post-alien invaded earth. The kids are eventually captured and instead of being killed, are taken into the Aliens domed city. Seems the aliens can’t breath our air. In the dome the two are used as servants. They have breathing equipment to use while doing their chores but in their quarters it is “earth atmosphere”. In the end they somehow end up with a bomb and are faced with the choice of setting it off and striking a large blow against the aliens but in the process they would kill the alien that has taken them in and basically protected them.
Does this ring a bell with anyone?
It may have been a part of a series or trilogy. I just know that I found it in the “youth” section of the local “Bookmobile” when it came around one summer.
Do they even have “Book Mobiles” anymore?
Psst. jOe. Watershed link:http://tinyurl.com/5lvxpx
Yeah, I got the bonus edition. Haven’t listened to the DVD yet.
Wow, I haven’t seen a Bookmobile in ages. LOL
The story doesn’t sound familar JOe. In a simular vain, there was this book that I read in my youth about an inventor and his family. The dad invents a time machine and goes back to the time of the dinosaurs. I don’t remember if the dad gets lost in time with his kids traveling in a second time machine or not. But that’s the basic premise. Anyway, back in time the kids meet a creature that resembles a small elephant. It would call out “EP EP BUNGIE!” And I think it learned to talk, but he ends up helping them. I know that the book was later turned into an animation. But I can’t find an author or a title.
Holy crap, I found it! LOL http://tinyurl.com/6pzszj
Pretty good song. Some nice hooks. I like the name.

Nice links.
I likey the Deighan.
Good find there on the book from your youth rhett. If I get a chance I will have to go on itunes and see if I can sample the “Watershed”.
… AND NOW … I have to go pack again. Back just a few days from a 1600+ mile car trip and I am leaving again tomorrow. I have invested in energy stocks to pay for all the petrol I am using.
Oh, and “fess up” Deadpan … there are some of you out there who have no idea what a “Bookmobile” is. ;)
I’ve heard of them. I don’t ever recall seeing them in Canukland.
Tried another O2 stored today, 3G iPhones still out of stock.
Was fun getting judged by one of the store workers though, she obviously wasn’t impressed with my clothes as she was telling me she didn’t know when they would get some more in stock as her fellow worker was telling the guy next to me that they would get some in at the weekend.
OMG!!!
Would anyone mind if I just go ahead and declare Van a “Super Genius” ?
A quick check of wikipedia shows that the book I remember IS from that series!
Wow. wayback machine.
Okay … really gotta go pack now.
I’ll raise my hand on not knowing what a bookmobile is. Of course there maybe a UK equivalent with a different name.
I assume it isn’t where you hang books by strings on plastic frames and hang them over cribs.
My guess JOe, is that the last time most Dead Panites saw a bookmobile, it was from the “Chickenlover” episode of South Park.
There was a program back a million years ago where public Libraries outfitted Busses and large van type vehicles with airconditioners and shelves and shelves of books.
Then, once a week in the summer time they would drive it into your neighborhood and park it and all the kids could come and check out books. Once you had your Library card, no parents were needed. If you could walk a few blocks or ride a bike (do kids today know what THAT means?) you could get books!!!!!
It really was a brilliant idea.
ok NOW I am going to go pack.
Ah yes, they still do that over here for villages. Also if a big library is closed for rennovation, they have one parked outisde the building.
300!
