I got sad at the end of the Biff book cuz, Like i know this is going to sound silly.. but he made Jesus so likable. Like he was just this normal really sweet guy who has this whole weight on his shoulders and he was so tortured about it.. and you know what finally happened to him.. it made me sad. I liked Jesus.
Hugh sez: but you didnt like the Jesus in the bible?
well I read the bible in highschool, I was more interested in you in highschool than the bible
Hugh sez: you are a smart lady
:) but the bible was so dry.. and it felt like a schoolbook you know? It felt like it was more about everything else, not just the teachings of Jesus. But the Biff book.. made him seem more real, focused entirely on Jesus and made him really likable and sweet. It made me sad when it ended to know what that sweet sweet mans fate was more than the bible did. Teh bible just made me think more only about his death and how I should feel bad about it.. how he died for me and it was all just full of guilt. the bible made me just feel bad that I even existed.
Biff made me feel bad about Jesus the man.. Jesus as the boy growing up and all the normal things he thought that he couldnt experience cuz the angels told him he couldnt. He was just this normal adolescent kid. I cried for him
Hugh sez: all those wasted years of religion class in highschool when if they just made you read Lamb you would of been such a good little catholic girl
do you really think I could of been a good catholic girl?
Hugh sez: LOL. No comment. I thought you were a wonderful catholic girl personally.
well only for Rhettro, our different counts didnt change the winner or anything but Jack said Rhett had 17 or maybe 20 and we have Rhett at 12.. eh whatev. We still lost :(
Hugh sez: I demand a recount.. I bet Bunny has some dangling chads she is hiding
there are no hard nipples?
Hugh sez: lemme check.. Nope Jack, there are a few hard nipples over here
well they are hard now after you rolled them around in your fingers
TSH: I’m so glad you enjoyed my Dumbass Memory in episode 97 so much! I knew there was no way to avoid that story sounding dirty to someone… but I recorded it anyway, because it was funny to me at the time. I’m glad it went over so well!
TSH: Yeah, Lamb is an awesome book. It’s sacrilegious and respectful at the same time. It’s definitely one of my favorite Moore books. If you liked that, you should read “The Stupidest Angel”.
*pop* just popping in.
Re – best laid plans. Sing it brother. Sing it!
Re – “Lamb”. I am quite intrigued. I’m going to look for it.
I really liked the film that I think was called “The Last Temptation of Christ”. The one with William Deffo (sp?)
I loved the whole concept of, what if Christ had said, “Mmmmm, maybe not so much with me getting killed. Latta Bros”. I like that sort of alternate timeline treatment with any historical event/person type thing.
Ok … back to doing the dumb things I gotta do … Touch the puppet head.
Well Jar City was good, just don’t expect any suspense about the killer. Biggest yuk moment though was not the murdered people but the scene where the lead detective eats a sheep’s head. Not quite up there with that scene where a live squid is eaten (somebody posted a link a while back) but close.
You can put the first in the don’ttellyourmatesyoudomartialarts category.
As I entered the cinema I sat in front of three woman. Before I realised I may have been blocking their view, they moved further down the row they were sitting on. There was some whispering and then one piped up “I’m only a yellow belt don’t expect me to defend you”. Whether their attention was on me or somebody else in the cinema I cannot say.
j0e.. I would love to hear your comments on the bible.
I have no problem with the book, I just think after reading Lamb that maybe someone needs to update the bible to be hipper to “the kids”. I think the bible does read like a textbook and maybe thats because from the moment I first started actually reading it, it WAS my textbook for religion class. I never saw it as anything but another stupid book I had to read for class the next day. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone, I dont mean it as an insult. It wasnt that I thought the bible was a bad book or I was putting it down, or thought less of it, but it was literally a textbook to me.
Later in college I took a ‘bible as fiction’ class which I thought was terribly interesting and did make me appreciate it just a little bit more, but yet again it was my textbook and not a holy book.
Maybe when teaching the bible to kids in highschool, they should just make a textbook about it, maybe that would help.
I was a typical teenager. I was rebeling. I hated all my classes but art. I just wanted to make out with my boyfriend all day and listen to punk music and get high. Science, english, religion, math, spanish, history.. all of them were treated with the same complete disinterest by me. The only things I ever read were the literature books we had to read. I devoured those. I was even in a great books reading group grade 6-12. If they gave me Lamb to read I would of loved religion class. Reading the bible was like reading chapter 7 in the AMerican History book.. I dunno.. maybe it was cuz my parents were not religious I never saw it as more than just another class I had to take and hate. They sent me to catholic school cuz they thought I was trouble, they didnt actually think getting a catholic education was important. All education was important to them (well not for a girl) So again to me religion class was just another class and the bible readings we had to do were just more homework that I didnt want to do.
Jack- the fact that we warmed your cockles makes me sooo happy :) *swoon*
ditto- cool! We will look for that. We have a book backlog right now.. so I gotta read a few borrowed books and shit before getting more Moores books
EesBee- I want to go get remarried now so Hugh and I can be parry A and party B
I hope everyone is well in deadpan land. We’ve got dinner with Hugh’s boss and his wife tonight.
We might be by later again to play by play some more- we’ll see
Oh and back to Jesus for a sec.. I remember going to see Last Temptation of Christ. The whole family went. I did kind of liek that alternate view on events type stuff… you know that whole history is written by the victors, or as feminists like to say its all HIStory and all that.
It doesn’t mean 1 is right or wrong, just makes it interesting to get another point of view, another possibility
Like this book I have to read called Devils Apocrypha which is the events as told from the devils point of view where the devil is actually the good guy. That God and the angels need the belief in them to sustain them, so they found earth and created christianity to sustain them and are sucking life from earth and the devil is the guy who rebelled against that and thought what the other angels was doing was bad.. so its kinda like the devil saying the story was told wrong to make him look bad and he is telling his side now.. I like that sorta thing.. again not saying that this book is right, its just really interesting to read about
ok.. gotta go find my husband now and leave for dinner :)

Just want to chime in and agree with all of the comments about “Lamb”. What a great, great, really smart book. I enjoyed “A Dirty Job”, but I really loved “Lamb.” Highly recommended.
Just finished watching a show on Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. Good program up until the end when they decided to go way overboard on the patriotic flag waving. Even the wife found it distasteful.
Van: A lot of people haven’t heard of RR, unless they’ve been involved in some sort of formal meeting situation. And even then, they might not know what system is being used.
I knew of RRO but only as a source for punchlines not the actual rules themselves
(ei … in a meeting where things have broken down into chaos I might be heard asking ” could someone get Roberts on the phone” or when the family is wondering if we can go ahead and start Thanksgiving dinner even though Uncle Albert still hasn’t arrived, I might be overheard saying “perhaps we should consult Roberts Rules of order”. I guess I’m pretty much a smart ass.)
Ah, I see “Engines of our Ingenuity” has won a convert. I just heard the Robert’s Rules episode this morning. Always something interesting on that one.
I actually own a copy of Robert’s Rules, but haven’t had to make much use of it.

“He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.
He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.
He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.
Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune.
Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis.
It is a land that’s rich in spice
The sandriders and the “mice”
That they call the “Muad’Dib”.
He is the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him
to lay claim his crown,
And then the foe yes
they’ll be cut down,
You’ll see he’ll be the
best that there’s been,
Messiah supreme
true leader of men,
And when the time
for judgement’s at hand
Don’t fret he’s strong
and he’ll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.”
“Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they’d ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he’s fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT!”

Decisions, decisions….
TSH: I’m so glad you enjoyed my Dumbass Memory in episode 97 so much! I knew there was no way to avoid that story sounding dirty to someone… but I recorded it anyway, because it was funny to me at the time. I’m glad it went over so well!
I enjoyed it too! :)
Smarty Hottie sighting!
gotta agree with ASH about the readability of the Bible … at least for a kid. More deep thoughts on that later.
gotta get this morning started.
Could somebody reach over and pump up the volume?
I’ll just stick on the Xenon 2 soundtrack…
Morning, Deadpan!
Looking forward to deep thoughts on the Bible, JOe. Loved the TSH sighting! How’sit going today, Van?
Just read what I found to be a funny blog post about same-sex marriage. Or maybe a new grassroots (?) movement to protest it in California:
http://tinyurl.com/4uoupw
TSH: Yeah, Lamb is an awesome book. It’s sacrilegious and respectful at the same time. It’s definitely one of my favorite Moore books. If you liked that, you should read “The Stupidest Angel”.
Why am I awake this early on Saturday? Oh yea, I ran 3 miles and went back to bed, but couldn’t sleep. Good thing the Pan is always awake. :)
Off to the cinema to see Jar City, the novelty of an Icelandic thriller won out.
How crap is my razor? Let me count the nicks….
That would have gotten my vote, Vanamonde. Meaning Jar City, not the crap razor.
It felt good in my cockles to read a brand new play-by-play.
I hope the weekend is good to you all. Stupid best-laid-plans. . . .
Trying to get caught up on two weeks worth of laundry….yea?
*pop* just popping in.
Re – best laid plans. Sing it brother. Sing it!

Thanks, Van, for the deadly earworm.
I’m not worthy marlodianne…

Just finished watching a show on Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills. Good program up until the end when they decided to go way overboard on the patriotic flag waving. Even the wife found it distasteful.

Night pan. I hope you all had a good weekend.
Sleep well young man.
No that sentence brought on a flashback:

That guy seems pretty funny, Vanamonde. I confess: Never heard of him before.

It’s early… I am going to eat Bojangles… I love to south. I am liking True Blood but the acting still feels funny.
Mr. Bojangles ?

Good morning, Deadpan!
Morning. I never knew much about the guy that created Robert’s Rules of Order. Turns out he was a pretty famous engineer. Go figure.
Morning Pan!
Bunny is alone again for a couple of days.
Morning gang.
So, how famous do you have to be before you get to start handing out the rules?
Is Jack close yet?
jj: I don’t know, but I guess I have to keep working on it. ;)
So plenty of pine in TEB’s immediate future.
Well I had never heard of RRs.
Van: A lot of people haven’t heard of RR, unless they’ve been involved in some sort of formal meeting situation. And even then, they might not know what system is being used.
Does anyone else find it odd that Kim Gordon would start a fashion line?

Van, TEB’s going to be in “sleep on hubby’s side of the bed” mode.
I’ve heard, and used, Robert’s Rules of Order. I just assumed he was dead already. Shows what I know.
Yea! “Moving Pictures” will be hitting Rock Band DLC next Tuesday!

What’s wrong with a fashion line, ditto. Everybody else seems to do it.
Another Monday morning. There ought to be a law.
… or at least a rule!
I knew of RRO but only as a source for punchlines not the actual rules themselves
(ei … in a meeting where things have broken down into chaos I might be heard asking ” could someone get Roberts on the phone” or when the family is wondering if we can go ahead and start Thanksgiving dinner even though Uncle Albert still hasn’t arrived, I might be overheard saying “perhaps we should consult Roberts Rules of order”. I guess I’m pretty much a smart ass.)
Smart-asses of the world unite!
teeth grinding mode:
BBTL commentary episodes (love the actual show though)
The last one was the final straw for me.
CGR segments in Scifi Surplus
Which were ok when they weren’t so regular.
Ah, I see “Engines of our Ingenuity” has won a convert. I just heard the Robert’s Rules episode this morning. Always something interesting on that one.
I actually own a copy of Robert’s Rules, but haven’t had to make much use of it.
Ed: Yep. Thanks! :) I used to use Robert’s Rules when I was part of Toastmasters. I always meant to buy a copy, but never got around to it.
Not (consciously) familiar with Robert’s Rules.
So he’s like the strunk and white of people-gathering, huh?
I second that.
there is something wonderfully futuristic about metal box lifts (elevators)…even when they stink of stale urine.
I am “disillusioned spice”.
A cheap eastern European knockoff of Dune?
Van, there is nothing futuristic about vomit.
(Elevators give me severe vertigo and, yes, make me vom. I have to take stairs. Urine isn’t even a factor.)
*wonders why so many of you seem to have parliamentary debate experience*
Could be a ‘reimagining’ of the spice girls. Now with even less self-esteem! They have the depths of PCD and Girlicious to aspire to!
I’m disgruntled spice :)
CP: Sometime Around Midnight — The Airborne Toxic Event
I’m zombie spice.
(side bar – “If AT&T had spent nearly as much energy and expense trying to KEEP me, as they do now in trying to get me to switch back … I wouldn’t be posting this message.”)
Ooo ooo – I call Fremen Spice.
Or maybe Spice 1999.
Lost in Spice?
Pigs. . . in. . . Spice?
Inner Spice?
A Spice Too Far
The Dark Spice
Spice Wars
Would Evo Spice be an in-your-face spice? ;)
“He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.
He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.
He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.
Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune.
Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis.
It is a land that’s rich in spice
The sandriders and the “mice”
That they call the “Muad’Dib”.
He is the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him
to lay claim his crown,
And then the foe yes
they’ll be cut down,
You’ll see he’ll be the
best that there’s been,
Messiah supreme
true leader of men,
And when the time
for judgement’s at hand
Don’t fret he’s strong
and he’ll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.”
“The Large Spice Colider” – I’d buy THAT for a dollar!
Repo Spice
Spiceworld.
No that’s not right…
Spiceland Tales?
Fine then …
Time fore the A.B.C. list of Spice Girls/band members that should NEVER exist.
A) Anthrax Spice
B) Bottom spice
Botulism Spice
C) Curdled Spice
D) Detachable Spice (?)
Old Spice?
The gayest fooking spice on the rack.
Anthrax Spice?
“Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they’d ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he’s fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT!”
? Dredd Spice
E) Enema Spice
With just a hint of Rob Schneider.
That was in reference to the Judge Dredd spice, not enema spice. Ew.
Spice Said Fred?
Oh wait – I’m screwing up J0e’s alphabet list.
So I’ll suggest Frankenspice for F.
G) Gonorrhea Spice ?
Halitosis Space

Iguana Spice
