Jack interviewing Tee Moris and Pip Ballantine, (I’m guessing since I haven’t listened to it yet.) this should be very good.
August 7th, 2008 at 3:32 am
Oh crap. . . . . . . the audio at the end is on Chipmunk speed.
ehhhh fuck it.
Off to catch some Zzzz’s. I guess that would be a Deadnap?
Thanks LostRalph. It was a fun conversation. I hope you enjoy listening.

Morning, Deadpan!
Six, six, six!
August 7th, 2008 at 5:11 am
Cool. I’m looking forward to listening to this one.
August 7th, 2008 at 5:48 am
Awesome photos on previous show comments, Hottie.
Morning, ditto.
August 7th, 2008 at 6:17 am
Tee and Pip, attached at the hip. They really make me flip.
DamnI can’t wait until Dragon Con.

This interview gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase “Care Bear Stare!”

This is no longer a podcast. It’s now a niet cast?

Great pics, Andrea!

Yawn. Morning. I agree, great shots Andrea. Wow, rick-rolled on Deadpan. =P LOL

The Deadpan thank you - was umm touching…
August 7th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Yeah, touching like a pedophile dirty clown in a dark alley is “touching.”
Okay, maybe not that bad, but close. LOL
August 7th, 2008 at 9:48 am
I just realized how I have missed the interview “Gong”

“I question your innocence.”
August 7th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Whoosh!
August 7th, 2008 at 10:05 am
So that’s where it went… you took my innocence for questioning…
Did you get any answers? Like where the hell have you been?
August 7th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Answers? No. Just questions. Many, many questions.
August 7th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Could god lift an unmovable object?
August 7th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Unmovable. . . like the mostly-deaf old lady writing a check in front of you at the supermarket?

Nonsensical questions are always fun.
August 7th, 2008 at 10:24 am
Pardon?
August 7th, 2008 at 10:29 am
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got upto fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A paralysed donkey passing by
Kicked a blind man in the eye
Knocked them through a rubber wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
That is how bad my memory is getting….
August 7th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Who will Tee have to blow this time?
August 7th, 2008 at 10:48 am
One of the care bears…

I’m guessing Love-A-Lot Bear.

Is it too soon to cry “Bear taint!”
August 7th, 2008 at 11:08 am
I almost miss making fun of Tee Morris.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:12 am
Well he appears to have a thick skin.
But you never know, he could at this very moment, be arranging a ‘hit’ on DubShack…
August 7th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Probably by a dwarf.
August 7th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Van - Dubshack doesn’t have anything to worry about…
Billi couldn’t take out Sigler or Hutchins in 3 promos…
Plus we are still 6 months away from Valentines Day.

I wish I was a lesbian - Loudon Wainwright III
I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn’t have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky yucky facial hair and all their machis’mo!
I wish I were a lesbian and not a hetero!
I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn’t straight.
I’d sleep with women only. Man, it would be great.
I’d throw away my diaphragm, I wouldn’t want to mate.
I wish I was a lesbian, and that I wasn’t straight!
I wish I were a lesbian, I’d like to be a dyke.
I’d sleep with k.d. lang. Mel Gibson, take a hike!
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike.
I wish I was a lesbian, I’d like to be a dyke!
I wish I was a lesbian, that’s why this song is sung.
It shouldn’t really matter how somebody is hung.
Other things are more important- like how you use your tongue!
I wish I was a lesbian, that’s why this song is sung!
I DARE Casey Kasem to play this!
I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn’t have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky facial hair and all their machis’mo
(I hate that machis’mo!)
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero

I’m staying quiet today because I lost a friend today.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
What happened EssBee?
August 7th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
One of my dearest friend’s husband died yesterday. He was young - 43 or so - and it was not expected.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I’m sorry to hear that EssBee.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
You do realise the “I wish I was a lesbian” song is sung by a man. LOL They used to play all the time on 98.9 the Rock in Kansas City.
I’d sleep with Morgan Fox, Greg Dulli take a hike?
August 7th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Crap, sorry for the loss EssBee.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Sad news EssBee.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Thanks, you guys are sweet.
And, hell, I might sleep with Greg Dulli.

I’d sleep with Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li take a hike.

Megan Morgan… As least I didn’t say Samantha.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Well done is still well done.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
She just wants to be touched, Rhettro. Not that I would.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
God, my brain hurts today. Figuring out poorly documented algorithms is a painful exercise.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Or for Crouching Tiger fans:
I’d go with Michelle Yeoh but I’d be thinking of Zhang Ziyi

August 7th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
EssBee - that is awful news.
My sympathies to you and your friend.
August 7th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
And ok, sorry to bust up the conversation flow. . . . . .
Zhang Ziyi is ridiculously attractive.

Yep, she is.

August 7th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
A bit too much eye liner!
August 7th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
She’s wearing eyeliner?

Of course there is the old saying that you don’t look at the mantelpiece when you are poking the fire.

We’ll give her a pass this time. *snort*
August 7th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Well I’m not an expert, but a bit too much make up above the eye.
Heh it’s the Naive Care Bear…
August 7th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

August 7th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Jack Mangan - also ridiculously attractive! (AND I understand, he stays crunchy in milk)
August 7th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
BTW: I did a yahoo picture search for Samantha Fox and it quickly turned into a game of “Just TRY to find a shot of her with clothes on!”
Did she spend like most of the 90’s nekked?
August 7th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
I’m not going there.
August 7th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
She was a `page 3′ girl jj.

To erase that, some even more atrocious:

Well, this could be the best thing that you’ll ever have
Baby, don’t treat me bad
(Well) you can do anything, but baby, don’t treat me bad
Oh, don’t treat me bad”

Mark your calendar: The 2008 Perseid meteor shower peaks on August 12th and it should be a good show.
“The time to look is during the dark hours before dawn on Tuesday, August 12th,” says Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center. “There should be plenty of meteors–perhaps one or two every minute.”

Looks like there’s one close to 20th & Cactus, ironically close to Mike’s house.

Rhettro, I’ve never seen a Denny’s, so you may rule out anywhere I’ve been.

You travel well Marlo.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:02 am
Is Denny’s that bad?

No, it’s not that bad. LOL

I had a distant relative named Denny. He never made me breakfast.

China knows how to put on a show!
As one viewer in the room commented … if it were the US putting it on it would be all about technology and gadgets. With China it was all about art and humans interacting. Of course they also pointed out that if there is one thing China has in cheap and abundant supply it is human beings.
IMHO: The archer lighting the torch in the last Olympics was a much more dramatic ignition sequence.

So Dubshack was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia on Friday.
Which, looking on the positive side… It’s kind of like saying “Hey, at least I’m not going to die. Sure my whole life has sucked and will continue sucking for the rest of my life. But at least it won’t get any worse than it all ready is.”
I dunno, does that sound comforting to anyone? I’m kind of on the fence on that one. I mean not dying is certainly good. Overstimulation to pain… I guess thats not any worse than wearing a “George Bush is my President” t-shirt all the time.
Yeah I dunno. It’s late enough to be thinking about the “smoking weed” treatment. Since the insurance won’t cover the FDA approved one, MJ appears to be the cheapest solution.
August 10th, 2008 at 4:12 am
Dub, start taking Una de Gato (Cat’s Claw). It’s an amazing herb. I get it from organicpharmacy.org pretty cheap. FM is a bitch, sorry to hear this! Nothing wrong with MJ either, but try the Una de Gato also.

Greetings, Pan. Ed has once again returned to Texas. While the trip was great, it’s good to be home.
Trying to get caught up with the world again. Essbee, I echo everyone’s sentiments on your loss. The pain of loss is the risk we run for forming attachments. The alternative is to become a hermit and I don’t think that we humans are really intended to be so solitary.
August 10th, 2008 at 9:48 am
And now I find myself in a TSH situation - I’m actually not current with Deadpan! I’ll probably get to fix that on my drive to work tomorrow. How did Tee and Pip do, anyway?
August 10th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Thanks EssBee, it’s cheap enough it might be worth trying. But I have a pretty good feeling it won’t work. There actually is no inflamation in Fibromyalgia, which is why aleve has never really worked unless I overdosed on it. (which I had to do yesterday, 1100mg of naproxen and 1025mg of percogesic (which is 1000mg acetaminophen and 25mg diphenhydramine), just enough to knock me out long enough for my muscles to relax… Used to be a single percogesic could do that) They don’t really know what causes Fibromyalgia but think its a combination of genetics (my mother was diagnosed 19 years ago with CFS and after this might be going back to the doctor for a re-evaluation, as well as my grandmother who’s had similar symptoms) stress (which is why I never really thought to go to the doctor about it, I assumed physical pain was a side effect of me handling stress poorly) and an excessive amount of pain related neurotransmitters in the spinal fluid. My doctor described it as the central nervous system reporting to the brain that you’ve had some experience with something and the brain reports back that your reaction should be one of extreme pain, mostly everywhere. It’s bizzare when you think about it but all the wierd things attached to it as symptoms that I’ve all ready been treated for… IBS, restless leg syndrome, a mild allergy that causes widespread pain when I come in contact with it, having all the symptoms of hypoglycemia while testing negative for diabetes… Like I said I’m certain I’ve had this all my life, I’d get this intense pain in my legs and everyone just said it was growing pains. And I’d get it all the time but I was always stressed out I just thought this was the natural reaction… pain all over, feeling to wiped out to do anything… What clued me in that something might be wrong was working on a project that was fairly stressfull for a month straight, and during a pause in the project wondering why the hell I felt like I was physically in pain all over when all I’d done was sit in a chair for a month. That and over the past year I’ve had this developing rash on me feet that isn’t painful, but we’ve finally identified as Raynaud’s phenomenon. It’s just the most bizzare thing, but I was sitting there and I got on google and typed in “hurts all over” and it immediately came up with page after page on Fibromyalgia. I called my doctor about it, he did the physical test on me and the positive result on that in concert with the treatment of all those other symptoms over the last three years he concluded it was definately fibromyalgia.
But your suggestion looks inexpensive enough I don’t see a reason not to try it, but as anti-inflamatories go… Like I said, they don’t really work on me unless I take so much I literally pass out.
August 10th, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Well Mike didn’t really respond to my last email to him so I assumed him and I weren’t speaking. Brian had made a comment about looking for a replacement podcaster for FPR and I can never tell if that guy is joking or serious. I thought it best to drop out of the FPM community not just for my own sake (felt like a rediculous amount of energy was going into podcasting and screwing my writing… turns out I have energy for neither, not because I’m a shithead screw up but I actually have something medically wrong with me) and because there is a girl there that causes damage to my marriage every time her name is brought up.
At any rate… Searches for treatment are not in any way promising. Apparently the FDA recently released an alert that 11 medications, including both medications I would consider for treatment have been proven to double suicidal thoughts.
So I guess you could say I’ve fallen out of the deadpan and into the fire…

Attention Firefox users.
HELP
Why can I no longer access any sites that have log-ons?
I can access the Deadpan so I know I can connect.
I also know that I can access those sites from my network, using my workstation.
I just suddenly can’t get to those sites from my laptop. Any ideas what may have changed?
BTW: the problem message says “The server is taking to long to respond.”
August 11th, 2008 at 6:36 am
You haven’t installed any new plugins jj?
I used to get those errors when using Tor and the websites I visited were taking to long to respond.
Could be a problem with the DNS your BB uses, you could try using OpenDNS (do a google) and see if that helps.
You could install Opera browser and see if that has the same problem.
August 11th, 2008 at 6:56 am
JOe: Do you get the same behavior in IE?
August 11th, 2008 at 7:03 am
I haven’t had those issues with Firefox. You might want to install Pocket Fire Fox on a thumb drive and run it to see if you get the same errors.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:05 am
frustration.
Van - I haven’t knowingly updated any plugins. I have also attempted to use OpenDNS but I can’t get it to work. That is, I have entered the DNS address in both my network preferences and in my Router’s preferences but when I go to the “test” site it tells me I am not using Open DNS.
I HAVE restarted my computer after doing that BTW and I can see the new address in the DNS fields.
I have tried Netscape and it can’t get to the sites either.
One of the sites I can’t get to is the HTTPS site for Optionsexpress.com
I can get to their http site but when I try to log on and it switches to https … I time out.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:07 am

Hellboy 2: A big budget movie with lots of imaginative visuals, unfortunately the movie played like a parody of itself. Not to say that the original Hellboy didn’t have it’s light hearted side, but it was done in excess here. I believe Indy 4 suffered from the same fate. Overall, not a bad movie, but it didn’t live up to the first one.
Star Wars Minis: I finally got around to explaining the basics of Star Wars Minis to my son and we played a couple of battles. Lots of fun. I expect we’ll be playing more in the future.

JOe: The only time I tend to get those problems is if I haven’t rebooted my router & cable modem for a while.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:16 am
Well, I rebooted my router after trying to feed it the new DNS address but not the modem.
I’m going to try that now. Let’s hope it doesn’t make me loose Deadpan connectivity.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:18 am
HTTPS is like a security protocol right?
I’d take ditto’s advice and rebooth the cable modem and any router’s you have plugged in, then review the security settings of your router’s firewall and perhaps any software firewalls you may be running.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:27 am
HTTPS is secure HTTP. There is an encryption handshake at the start of the session.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:28 am
meh
rebooting didn’t do it.
I know it’s not a router issue because I have 2 computers using that router and one connects to these HTTPS sites just fine. The other (this lap top) connected just fine last Friday but is having problems today.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:33 am
Interesting. Who uses the laptop? It’s possible you’ve got spyware on it.
Try Spybot Search & Destroy.
August 11th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Thanks ditto. I looked but SSD doesn’t have a Mac version.
Something makes me think that some setting or cache might be “stuck”.
I’ve tried rebooting and clearing out FireFox settings but this problem occures in Netscape as well so I’m thinking maybe this is a system level “hiccup”.

dub, sorry to hear about the FM diagnosis. My wife had this as a diagnosis for a while… If I remember correctly, FM is a - for lack of an accurate description - reverse diagnosis. Well, it’s not this, and not this, and not this, and not this, and you have pain points, so it’s gotta be FM.
Her diagnosis was switched to psoriaritic arthritis about 2 years ago, and the meds she’s been on have really lowered her pain levels, and brought back some flexibility and function.
Good luck, dub.

I **was** commuting about 30 miles each way to and from work once a week. So, that was 3 days driving, 1 day cycling, 1 day telecommuting. I miss my ride. 2 hours (I’m slow, back off) of peace and quiet. I was only run off the road a couple of times, ran into one car, blew through several tubes… the other parts were quite fun, though.

Today I was able to sucessfully order a copy from Best Buy’s website. I smell a conspiracy.
August 11th, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Brad P: I guess it’s sort of a reverse diagnosis. My doctor has 17 years worth of medical information on me, that in concert with recent treatments and the physical exam led to the diagnosis. Right now we’re trying to fight the insurance company for covering the medication. (the FDA has only approved two, one of them I can’t take, but the meds my insurance wants me to take, I’d like to say the worst that can happen is nothing, but in this case its psychosis and suicide)
Beyond that its a “now I know why I’m too tired to do anything and why a lot of shit hurts like hell” kind of thing. I’m still kind of just absorbing that. I spent the weekend trying to figure out what to do and didn’t come up with any answers. The doc is going to bat for me now, and now I’m left wondering what exactly I should be doing, if anything at all. Because I’ve still got three seasons of the X-files left to watch and I don’t want to start up a TNG marathon after that…

So according to the Chicago Tribune, you can make your razor blades last longer by drying the razor after shaving.
The logic being that it’s oxidation rather than cutting hair that causes the razor blade to go blunt quickly.
Or you could just grow a beard to save some money…
