Deadpan 100
A few (unlazy!) notes on this episode. . . .
For those who don’t know:
Many of the wonderful friends in this community came together and created Deadpan #100. I had nothing to do with any of the content you’ll hear in this episode. . . which is probably why it’s such a damn good one. I listened to all 37 minutes with a stupid grin on my face. . . . totally broke Deadpan.
I don’t know what else to say. I’m floored by the generosity of my friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you. People have often commented on Deadpan’s loyal group of listeners. Well. . . I am just as loyal to all of my friends out there. What a great bunch of people you are.
Deadpan is the way.

Okay, well I will pimp out a side project here.
Sofadogs is a popular culture podcast which stays crunchy in milk. John Pavlich created this podcast to provide fan-recorded commentary for television shows. One of the continuing missions is to create commentaries for all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I have joined John for a series of these commentaries, the first of which is already up.
So pop in your DVD and watch the episode “Phases” with us, other episodes are on their way!

Bravo! A most excellent result for Episode 100. Nice work, everyone.
Jack, thanks for all the great shows and for putting up with all us goofballs :)
Now, it’s time to enjoy some fresh WNDR Radio.

So a thumbs down for the first episode of S3 of Eureka for me.
Seasons premieres usually suck though…
July 31st, 2008 at 4:19 am
Yes Ed freshly squeezed….
July 31st, 2008 at 4:23 am
So useless tip for the day:
To avoid spillage when you need to fill a syringe with a carbonated beverage. Dip the syringe into the liquid and slowly pull the plunger back. This avoids the beverage ‘fizzing’ up and pushing the liquid out of the syringe prematurely.
July 31st, 2008 at 4:30 am
And nobody likes premature syringe ejaculation…
Comedy is hard…

So handsup anybody imagining TEB in a nurses uniform after that post?

July 31st, 2008 at 6:10 am
Excellent job on the episode, wolf.
Van, I liked the Eureka episode okay, but really was scared by the musical number that was, I guess, the promo that aired right beforehand. I agree with you that it wasn’t up to par with past seasons.
It’s another sad day for me in the realm of my stupid brother. Damn.

Paul Maki: I enjoyed your story.
Andrea: Good to hear from you again! It’s been far too long since we’ve heard your voice on the Deadpan.
Everyone: Both of the “We are Deadpan” bumpers are MADE OF WIN.
I had a big, stupid grin on my face throughout most of the episode, too.
July 31st, 2008 at 9:22 am
Amy, your story is brilliant. Very witty. Don’t get all humble and leave that out. . . . :) Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing the next adventure.
Although it’s funny. I ended up sounding a lot like Rhettro. . .

And to think, it started as a hare brained notion to come up with some group skit to go into episode 100. But, that just wouldn’t do, now would it :)
Definitely looking forward to more of Amy’s story. I see she’s learned well from the Tee Morris/Pip Ballentine/(and others I’m sure) school of podcast fiction.

I didn’t get a chance to finish EP100 until lunch so here’s some observations.
First off, to everyone, great job.
Ditto: I loved you introbabble. Maybe you should host an Unshow?
Paul Maki: “I’m a fucking marmot, asshole!” Brilliant! I laughed hard.
Jeremy: Good to hear you voice, I miss those old phone reports from you.
Ed: Again, thanks for getting this whole thing started, and especially the ten week head’s up. Great contributions.
TEB: I had no idea you had such range. I enjoyed your readings and your contributions to Amy’s story.
EssBee: More blog readings! Inspired choice.
Andrea: Ah, the smooth and sultry voice of the original smartie hottie. I forgot how much I miss hearing you on pod. Well done.
justa JOe: Go Joe! You only had a short time to put something together and it still turned out great. :)
Amy: You’ve out done yourself! Thank you for the opportunity to take part in your fiction. I got chills listening to how it all came together.
Wolf: And the man to put it all together with a lot of polish, that’s for making this the best 100th episode ever.
And finally: wOOt! Jack. Happy One Hundred! This is an awesome community, and it wouldn’t exist without your vision, humor and humility.

So, keep an eye on the bar and save me seat :)

August 1st, 2008 at 7:07 am
Ed – have fun. be safe.
Cyn – Re: gloomy mood cure
A) Sex
B) Fun with close friends
C) watching a funny TV show or movie (really anything that makes me laugh)
hmmmm … as I look at the above I see that “communitive property” does not apply.
While A can = B and B can = C. I’m not sure if A should ever = C (sex = having a good laugh)

So I’m listening to Wander Radio EP 31, good stuff so far. Anyway Wolf mentioned that “Claybourne” can get a bit confusing. Yes it can be very confusing. There is only one season, but you have to listen to them back to back for it to really make any sense. Quite enjoyable, although the American character “Thompson” is a bit of a twat. LOL It would have been neat to get another season. Somewhere online the director posted everything that would have happened next. I’m sort of wondering if an outfit like the Sonic Society would write the second season and produce it. :)

Yeah Wolf, I have already read it. I listened to Claybourne two years ago when it was first podcast. I have all the episodes saved to disk. But being as there is already a road map for a second season, it seems like someone could take it on themselves to produce it. LOL And if someone is up for the challenge my input would be please, less soap, more scifi.

That is the worst thing, I’ve heard all day JOe (the Walmart thing), and that’s something, considering I just got baffled with this bullshit:
There is a 400-500k (+/-) compression in service sales this year, due to the wider offerings (the presumption is the more flexible pricing helps XXX and XXX penetrate more accounts……). This type of sale exacerbates the negative revenue impact to price – needs to be watched, so thanks for flagging.

I looked at the pictures and the one of the bare floor reminded me of a sophomoric prank you can pull on some unknown person from the future.
Have someone lay, sprawled out on the concrete floor. Then take a sharpie or other permanent marking device and outline “the body”. Also, draw a few circles (say, large enough to go around a hand gun or a knife or some such items) and write a letter next to each.
Then go about your remodeling knowing that you’ve given some far future remodeler something to puzzle over.
yep, it’s silly.

“SpaceX has scheduled the launch of the Falcon 1 Flight 3 mission for Saturday, August 2nd. The launch window will open at 4:00 p.m. (PDT) / 7:00 p.m. (EDT) / 23:00 (UTC) and remain open for five hours. Webcast will begin approximately 30 minutes before launch. If launch is delayed for any reason, SpaceX has range availability to resume countdown through August 5.
…Falcon 1 is the first new orbital rocket in more than a decade. Merlin is the first new American hydrocarbon engine for an orbital booster to be flown in more than 40 years and only the second new American engine of any kind in more than a quarter century. After achieving orbit, Falcon 1 will be the first privately developed, liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth.
…SpaceX will provide live coverage of the Falcon 1 Flight 3 mission via webcast at: http://www.SpaceX.com . The webcast will begin 30 minutes prior to launch and will include mission briefings, live feeds and launch coverage from the launch site at the Kawjalein Atoll, as well as a special video tour of SpaceX facilities by Elon Musk, CEO and CTO.”

LOL! I think I will leave a message for future remodelers… just not that particular message. I’ll do it the next time I’m down there, which will be Monday.
Today we did mostly preparation for painting: washing, dusting, spackling, masking, and priming. Also removing the wallpaper border from my room, a very tedious process during which I listened to Morevi ch. 13 (I’m behind on some podcasts, too) and the most recent Metamor City.
August 2nd, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Man, that is a lot of work!
I still haven’t done the Morevi or Metamor City podcasts yet. I only just got to “Brave Men Run” on my last car trip.
Another idea for “future message” is to invite some friends over, open some wine, get out the coloured markers and then do some sort of large collaberative mural of some sort.
“Art” as it were. :-)

It didn’t make orbit, a quote from the spacex site:
‘It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3]. On the plus side, the flight of our first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was picture perfect. Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together. This is under investigation and I will send out a note as soon as we understand exactly what happened.’

Add me to the list of Deadpanites who have seen The Dark Knight.
Teresa and I loved it. Granted it dig run a bit long, and the last 30 minutes meandered around somewhat aimlessly a little, but the character studies were really good. I liked it better than Batman Begins.

Morning, Pan. We’ve survived our first two days of vacation. As my wife will tell you, if I don’t come home from vacation exhausted, then it was a waste of time. I can be a bum any weekend. When I travel somewhere, I want to go out and see and do things. San Diego has certainly not disappointed so far in that regard.
I make no promises on the quality, but here on some pics so far. My wife’s laptop display is so dim, that I’m having trouble telling how will things turned out, so I’m not going to mess with any editing until I get home. But, the geotagging is at least working well.

Morning Pan.
EssBee – Summer who? ;)
My sister worked in a place with the same sort of National, Corporate Evil mentality. Completely different field but same dynamic.
Her department was kept in constant chaos, mostly due to inept management who didn’t understand what it took to get things done and would make helter skelter scheduling promises. My sister was constantly having to save the Departments collective Bacon all the while receiving substandard benefits and pay. It was enough to finally prompt her leave and start her own business. Something she had never tried or thought about doing in her life.
The business hasn’t worked out as she had hoped but perhaps has worked out better then she would have thought … because her old employer ( a year later) has just hired her back as the MANAGER of her old department … with full pay and benefits and such.
So … what am I implying? “Joel, sometimes you have to say ‘What the F&*k’ “.

I’ve finally managed to wrestle with this fine hotel internet and get some more pics uploaded. Yesterday we spent a full day at Legoland and today was a full day at the San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. The Park’s main purpose is to provide a space for birthing baby animals and we got to see plenty – elephants, rhinos, and lions (oh my!)
The Park is a truly awesome place. Though, I would recommend doing what we did and putting another activity day between it and the Zoo itself to better appreciate it.
Legoland is a lot of fun with younger kids. My daughter enjoyed all the roller coasters and I think she’s well on her way to being ready for the bigger thrills at a “real” park as she gets bigger.

I’m at 9 years in my not-marriage. And, btw, ^ was not being round-about in saying “wow, Rhettro, you are OLD.”
August 6th, 2008 at 8:58 am
LOL, well I’m not young. I got married when I was a junior in college and that seems like ages ago and just like yesterday at the same time.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:59 am
And congratz to your commited long term relationship EssBee.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:04 am
Okay, work calls. I’ll check in a little later.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:27 am
Congratulations Rhett ! (… and Mrs.Rhett!)
Woot indeed!
August 6th, 2008 at 9:28 am
We all remember how damn lucky Mrs. Rhett is. It’s legendary!
August 6th, 2008 at 9:55 am
w00t, Congratulations on the two decades, Rhett!
So does that make it 9 x 20 for Mrs. Rhettro? Interesting math. . .
August 6th, 2008 at 10:04 am
And wow, this is funny:

Congratulations Rhettro & Mrs. Rhettro
Essbee beat me to oldie punch.
August 6th, 2008 at 10:51 am
More like 3×20, but that makes 60 which is pretty impressive right?
August 6th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Have you guys seen the Paris Hilton response to McCain’s campaign ad? Pretty damn funny:

August 6th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Congrats, Rhettro. Only 7 years for me.
August 6th, 2008 at 11:14 am
lol. That’s a great video, EssBee.

THAT VIDEO WAS BRILLIANT!!!! Made fun of her AND McCain AND actually presented a reasonable view on the energy delima
August 6th, 2008 at 11:48 am
JaJ – I can say with all honesty I have not had Paris.

Conan O’Brien – John McCain does not want Dick Cheney to attend the Republican Convention because he says he’s too unpopular. When he was asked for comment, Cheney said, “I hope the senator reconsiders.†Then he changed into a bat, and flew away.

ZP does Ninja Gaiden 2. Very funny, especially since I’m playing the game. And yes, the camera is horribly broken in a number of places.

Eureka S3 E2
A bit better
August 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Van: I stopped watching Eureka during S2. I disliked where there were going with the story, and I hated how they made the sheriff into a buffoon.
August 6th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I’m a Eureka lover. I’m with Van on E1 — haven’t seen last night’s episode as of yet.

I’ve been talking with Dennis, the owner/founder of Protone pedals. http://www.protonepedals.com/
I guess he has been working with Rusty Cooley on a new signature pedal.

You may remember Rusty Cooley from an earlier Deadpan interview. :)
August 6th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Rusty Cooley!! That is awesome!
CE: conference call #4.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Eureka was a show I so desperately wanted to like. I tried ant tried but it could never decide if it wanted to be creepy/serious like the x-files or goofy like a sitcom. The oscillation back and forth between the two was just uncomfortable.
Sheriff “Oh no, Bob from accounting has just died in a very gruesome fashion”
Town’s person “Oh how horrible”
(Scene change to restaurant where hilarity ensues as teenager makes Dad look sweet but hapless once again)
I will say it has a great ensemble cast, nice individual performances and a premise that exudes potential … maybe someday it will decide if it is a dessert topping or a floorwax.
August 6th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I think what keeps me coming back to Eureka is 1) I love Henry, and 2) Jo is hot.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
The sherrif reminds me of that dude that hosts “Dirty Jobs” on the Discovery channel.
August 6th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
EssBee: I agree on both points! :)
Rhettro: Yeah, he does.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
I am tired of the silly self-righteousness in our country. I keep hearing people talk about how they’re going to boycott the Olympics because it’s in China. Do we not realize that our nation invaded a sovereign country to steal oil. We also have athletes that routinely violate steroid laws and have mega pharmaceutical companies designing custom drugs that avoid detection. Yet, I hear self-righteous people speak how they’re going to make a standby not tuning in their Chinese made DVR’s to watch tabletop tennis played by people that will only get to be on TV once in their lives.
I feel sorry for the Monks but low ABC ratings won’t do sh*t all to help them. Plus, I love to watch people kayak in an artificial river.
August 6th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Gotta concur on “EssBee points 1 and 2″.
ditto and Rhettro aren’t too shabby either!
August 6th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
RE: earlier topic – I should point out that I too have not slept with Paris, although this did take some quick thinking and the assistance of a Canadian Mounty to achieve.
(I’ll bet that horse is still in therapy.)
August 6th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
JOe said “mounty”

Jameson shots on EssBee!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
None of that Protestant stuff for me!
Any of you guys read Acacia by David Anthony Durham? I highly recommend it if not. I won a copy off of Dragon Page C2C last year, and even wrote a review. I was just reminded of it by hearing the movie rights were purchased and that Book 2 is coming soon.
August 6th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
My Acacia review if anyone’s interested: http://tinyurl.com/6loanz
At one point it was linked on DPC2C, but I can’t find it there.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Adding it to my list, EssBee.
August 6th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I have to say episode 1 of season 3 of Eureka wasn’t a particularly strong opening, IMHO. We’ll catch episode 2 off the DVR after we get back. It does have so much potential and a strong cast.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:13 pm

Re: Eureka- haven’t watched it, but I enjoyed the last 2 seasons
Re: Jameson – please pour me a shot or 8!

Well, I am catching them. Those are some amazing shots. The exposures really make them pop.
August 6th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I’m not particularly taken by the subject of the photos but can I just say this about your photography SWOON!!!!!!!!
August 6th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
not really sure what was going on here.. yet I obviously was compelled to shoot them
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2739971495_123f3ffa0e_o.jpg
what does this say about me??
don’t answer that please
August 6th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
aww thanks Ed and j0e :)
My night shots were much better than my day shots this year. The sun was out of control and a lot of my daytime shots are really lacking good saturation and generally washed out.
But I am most pleased with my night shots
August 6th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
…hmmmm….
so you’re saying you do your best work at night?
;)
August 6th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
gotta turn in.
‘night mush
August 6th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Yes I am ;)
Ah crap! Stop distracting me Deadpan!
I’ve got to get these photos sorted tonight or else and Ive got hundreds more to go
ugh
I’m closing you now Deadpan and I won’t be back!
August 7th, 2008 at 1:39 am
