“That’ll put marzipan in your pie plate, Bingo!”
Ooooh another early DP, CAF.
The new episode of Pushing Daisies out on the P2P, I had better get my sunglasses ready.
So today’s choice is Taken or Death Race.
Both mindless flufff, but I’m leaning towards Taken.
Just finished proofing pg 80 of my current Gutenberg text. 60% done.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Nice Buffy quotage, MD…
7 – Voyager’s one redeeming quality.
New hardware should arrive today.
The mention of Mornington Crescent was a surprise.

20.9 MB of Mangan goodness downloaded to my USB drive. Other podcasts can wait until my computer and Ipod are on speaking terms again.
Jack, you’re coming with me to the office today.
No hogging the Mangan!!!
(Homer Simpson) MMmmmmmm – New Hardware (/Homer Simpson)
I too have grown to like Charlie Jade.
The original episode’s dizzing edits and visuals was a fun ride that got old quick. Like cotton candy. Tasty for the first few bites but you never finish it.
Then they started to put some substance too it. Still a VERY stylized show but I think they found their groove.
Morning, Deadpan!
Listened to the episode on an early walk this morning.
Amy, wise choice avoiding Evil, Inc. Though the Demons should have been drawn to the building . . .
Jack, I loved the instrumental at the end — wish I could get a copy of it!
I am impressed with the effort that is being made to re-brand the “Wall Street bail-out” as an “Economic Rescue Plan”.
Same duck, same quack, new name.
Van: Thanks for posting the link. I hoped somebody would get the reference.
EssBee: Heh heh.
Now to listen to the Deadpan … gotta get my mind right.
Don’t bail out, JOe; BUY IN! Doesn’t that make you feel better?
Wait, I’ve got a little drool – be right back.

Nice Deadpan, gang.
Nice, Deadpan gang.
Nice Deadpan gang.
Wow a Supersized episode! I’ll try to check it over lunch or on my way home. Bleak days in the office, we keep getting more skinny and moral has hit the floor. =P. On the bailout, on one hand I think this thing carries a price tag we shouldn’t pass on to the tax payers. I was listening to NPR yesterday and they had an Oregon representative that explained how an alternative bill could work with out all the money. It sounded like a good idea. But for me personally, the longer the political process takes to a solution, the longer banks loans are tied up, the longer future developments are put on hold. And that imperials my current job. My hope is if this bill is defeated a better one can quickly move through the process.
I’ll have to second Essbee regarding the outro tune this week. Most excellent and I would love to get a clean copy as well.
The rest of the show was most excellent. Nice work with the music especially this week, Amy.
In the spirit of Colbert, here are tomorrow’s reports from tonight’s VP debate:
Left leaning sources – Palin clearly showed she’s unqualified and couldn’t handle herself in the debate.
Right leaning sources – Palin clearly showed she’s qualified and handled herself well in the debate.
Biden will barely warrant any mention from either side.
Taken was fun even though Liam Whathisname looked like death warmed up.
…and more likely to keel over than win a fight.
LOL Ed.
Cobert is hitting his stride!
Re – Tonights debate
I predict we will see –
Long winded and condescending VS. “Yah, I’m gonna have to get back to ya on that.”
A “no win scenerio” for the Dems I should think.
If she knows her stuff he’ll look bad.
If she continues as she has been doing the last few weeks and he points out that she doesn’t know her stuff … he’s going to end up coming across like a school yard bully picking on the “special kid” while she’s waiting for the short bus.
I expect every press release to mention something about what Palin was wearing or the style of her hair. *rollseyes*
There are not a lot of investors I trust, but in general, I do trust the instincts of Warren Buffet. Buffet had this to say on the bail out.
“And Buffett said taxpayers will eventually turn a profit on the $700 billion plan if the bailout passes and the U.S. government buys mortgage debt at market prices.
“We are not spending the money. If we buy these assets intelligently, the United States Treasury will make money,” Buffett said.”
I just wanted to throw that out for discussion. That sounds reasonable, but the danger of mismanagement still gives me pause. I can’t say that I’m convenced one way or the other. Take it away JOe.
Maybe if Buffet is the one administering it. But, I fear that corruption, bureaucracy, and general mismanagement will lead to this ultimately being a money loser. The government will overpay their buddies on Wall Street for the properties, then sell them back at sweetheart deals. You and I will be financing the spread.
When have efficiency and government ever been in the same sentence….well, besides the one I just typed.
The Economy Czar? Interesting.
“Take it away JOe.” LOL
OK
“Buffett said taxpayers will eventually turn a profit on the $700 billion plan if …”
This is an easy one to poke holes in. The banks who ORIGINALLY bought all these now-worthless loans did so because they thought they would turn a profit.
They didn’t. In fact everyone now calls this stuff “bad debt” and “Worthless paper” … so why is it that if the taxpayer suddenly buys it … it will make money?
If this stuff really had a high percentage chance (or even 50/50) of making someone money … don’t you think that the BIG private investors (like Buffet) who make there millions on this sort of deal would be clamoring over one another to buy these bad debts and would be crying “foul play” in the media because BIG COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT was taking the opportunity away from them?
If this was such a good investment, private industry would be rushing in to buy this stuff (like they did with Wacovia Bank a few days ago).
Also … when did the U.S. government get in the business of taking tax money from you and me to gamble with on the stock market?
AND … if we the people are OK with that and DO want our government to get into the “making money through investments” game … there are a heck of a lot of lower risk/higher yield places to invest!
If the goal is “the taxpayer should make money” why don’t we just nationalize a few of these big oil companies!!!!
You knew I had already been thinking about this one, didn’t you Rhettro? :)
I’ll just sneak in this link to a new Nintendo DS being annouced in Japan:

I figured you had an answer JOe. LOL
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=95286816
^That’s the alternate plan I read about that also sounds promising, without all the 700 big ones.
BTW – I don’t have a better solution then the bailout. If we don’t do it then I think that eventually private investment WILL sort things out. In the meantime though, things for our pal Rhettro (and most of the rest of us) will get very uncomfortable.

I’m so not surprised by that many tabs; I just want to know why / how you counted.

The Geek was meant for Jack … but it looks like you can share the crown. ;)
When the power went out the other day, it killed my vcr. Wah!
That means my dvd player / recorder won’t work either. It wouldn’t interface directly with my tv; you had to use the vcr as a go between. This blows.
Yepper, I’m a geek. :P I am also a nerd.
My prediction for tonight:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douche_and_Turd
Kind of “yeah, what Ed said.”
Ed, we are agreeing a lot today. Does that scare you at all?
If I agree with you will it just make it scarier?
YES!
Well, let’s get this over with.
Re: V.P. Debate
Based on who came closest to actually answering the questions that were ask … Biden won the debate. Based on who beat expectations by the most, Palin was clearly the winner.
In summary, Biden wasn’t “long winded and pompus”… and Palin’s head didn’t explode.
… and the beat goes on.
Farkin HP!
I get my tech goodies delivered today. This evening, I set about putting everything into the case, which, by all appearances is a standard ATX case.
…except for the panel connector. Instead of the usual separate power, LED, reset, etc connectors coming from the front of the case, HP has stuck them altogether to make a single plug. While I’m sure that’s great for the poor soul in Asia putting the thing together, it does me precious little good as the connector doesn’t match the normal ATX arrangement.
I’m now faced with the prospect of surgery on the cable, or getting a new case tomorrow. After this, I think I’m ready to get myself a shiny new box for my shiny new components.
No, Essbee, agreement doesn’t scare me at all…..but that Wikipedia article does :)
Evo’s up for deletion and Jack doesn’t even warrant a page, but a fictional debate in a fictional show has its own article. Wee doggie!

I’ve never understood the logic behind the Wikriteria for having a page.
But then again, judging by the rampant inaccuracies you find there, a Deadpan page would probably describe us as a weekly hour of yodeling on South Dakota AM radio.
RE: the debate. I didn’t see/hear the whole thing. What I did see: she feigned human well, stuck to her script, and avoided her typical Bushisms. Biden started off stammering and shaky, but made a few good counters against Dick Cheney as VP and the notion that he’s out of touch with the commonfolk.
RE: the cars. Are we going to see a Lamborghini with a childseat??
OK, dunno if I’ll be back tonight. Deadpan is the hey.
That Lambo looks like a mashup of the new-ish Chevy Impala and the new-ish Ford Mustang. In other words, blah.
Morning Pan, it’s the dreaded G word again for the weather.
In regards to Tabs, I’m all for keeping them tightly under control, more than 4 and I start closing them. Whether this reflect something broken in my psych I cannot say.

Welcome out of moderation purgatory, Nomad Scry.
I downloaded that Tron clone, Van. I’ll give the light cycle a test drive sometime tomorrow.
Sorry, Marlo. Only about another month to go.
Jack, I’m voting in the advance poll tomorrow…wait, today, in a few hours.
I only wish that would end the fretting. Two frickin elections, both biley, so bad for grey matter. And the blood pressure.
Being apathetic and not giving a crap about my fellow man, that’s got to be healthier, right? :P
Marlo, for oneself, I have to imagine it’s an easier life to be a narcissist/dickwad. However, most of us manage to extend our sphere of care beyond our own egos. As a result, we suffer the stresses that come from having to think about how our choices impact others.

When you no longer think automatic doors are cool, is that a sign you’ve become mature?
I have to disagree Ed, most people pick their candidates for very selfish reasons.. from picking the person who looks and sounds like them, or who they would want to have a beer with, or play basketball with- to picking a candidate who upholds their own beliefs that they would like to see thrust upon all the American people.
I have no problem picking my candidate I’m part of the 60% of American voters who always vote in their party (30% dem, 30% repub.. its that other 40% of undecided voters that all these debates and campaigning are for). My party in general supports the things I want supported.. all this mumbo-jumbo they go through in debates is just nonsense to sway the undecided voter.
Candidate talk all their non-partisan crap, but in reality they are in a party and they will go 7 out of 10 times with their party. No person who claims they are a dem or a repub are 100% with their party. No ones record shows they always went with their party. But in general, overall, there are certain things you can count on whether you vote dem or repub and I think those things are pretty obvious. Debates and campaigning simply cloud the issue that is already there and obvious. Dems and repubs are fundamentally different and always will.
[forest gump] and thats all I have to say about that [/forest gump]
oh forgot 1 point I wanted to make in support of what I just said.. if McCain was such a Maverick to his own party, then why do all the repubs love him?
Cuz he’s a republican.. all that talk that both candidates do is all just talk to confuse you. In a primary you look at the candidate, in the general election you Look at the individual party and what that party belives in, not the candidates.

I’m at home today, and will have Friday’s off for a while. But I’m going to be using my days off to find either more concrete full time employment or some part time. Wish me luck. :)
Good luck Rhettro, hopefully you’ll throw a six…
I’m hoping, I’ve had pretty good luck in the past. Thanks for the well wishes.

Sorry ’bout the hits Jack. Sometimes life sucks, sometimes it gets better.
Gas prices? $3.31 about a block from my house. I’m guessing we may see $2.75 before too long.
^ The trackback post above was generated by my blog. This is the first time I’ve linked directly to the post for a particular episode of the Deadpan. All my links in previous Questors posts have been to the jackmangan.com front page.

Take care everybody.
Morning Pan,
Cheaper gas prices and the Earth sheds more tears.
Looks like Iceland could go bankrupt:

But on the bright side looks like OJ is going to prison.
Gas prices in western Massachusetts dropped 20 cents between Thursday and Friday. Sometime around the beginning of the year my big bro started telling me that the gas prices were going to drop until after the elections in November. Ridiculous to see it coming true.
And that Palin flow chart is seriously hilarious.
Hi Nomad Scry :)
Thanks Rhett and Van :) it was just a bad day today, but I’m better now
Hugh sez: she just needed her master
Yes! :) LOL
Seems that Jack didn’t have a good day either. Sorry, Jack.
Wow you all have cheap gas. Here I’ve seen a lot of variation, depending on what part of the city 3.70 (in the burbs) -4.35.
Hugh sez: when we saw that 3.70 tonight we got so excited
We had to stop the car and fill up. Last time we filled the beloved hybrid, we put 4.05 gas in it. Can you imagine 3.31 gas?? or 3.01?? Holy shit!
Hugh sez: I would cum right there in the station
:)
good travels j0e :)
Hugh sez: I’ll keep my eye on the markets for you while you’re gone
Yes please, can you fix the markets for us Hughie?
Hugh sez: I’ll try :)
Thanks!!
Hugh sez: Isn’t the Questors that story Amy sent us?
Yeah, and we couldn’t help her out with the voices, sorry Any :(
Hugh sez: sorry. We’ll have to listen to that
we’ve got a few pans to catch up on
Hugh sez: a few. But not tonight. I’ve got other plans for us tonight
*swooon* ;)

I don’t know, Im just hoping. You do usually tend towards the perverted Hugh
Hugh sez: guilty as charged babe. Say goodnight to Deadpan

Smarty Hottie sighting!
I’ve done a wine flight and I’m feeling it. I actually ordered the TAZI before I was even told that Maynard from Tool owns the vineyard. It was pretty darn tasty too.
Nomad Scry, glad to see you jumping into the the community.
OK, I gotta go
So Great North Run this weekend, means I’ve got to avoid large city centre (a lot of the runners from outside the area hang around the day before)..
The premise of 88 minutes looks good, think I’ll check that one out at local cinema where I can get some exercise by actually walking there and hopefully avoiding a lot of the crowds.
sounds rather looks?
Morning Deadpan!
Sorry about your family stuff, Hottie. That is never easy, and yeah, I get it.
Jack, sorry yesterday was rotten. Get that too.
Welcome, Nomad Scry!
Safe travels, JOe!
That makes me wonder when ditto is back . . .

Sheesh, looks like it’s been a fairly depressing Friday at the Pan. Sorry to hear news from everyone an I hope things get better.
After Ike came through….backup….just before IKE hit here, gas had gotten down to about $3.40. After Ike, we were pushing $3.75. Yesterdy, I found it down to about $3.28 in a few places.
I actually saw $3.29 yesterday close to my house.
Welcome to the boards, Nomad Scry!
Today’s plans: Cleaning as much of the apartment as I can stand to clean, and going to a barbecue for my roommate’s birthday.
Good Morning Deadpan. Welcome Nomad Scry.
I’m going to have a busy Saturday, errands to run, have to head into the office for a little while. And I owe some people recordings, and others writing. And I also need to do some cleanup around my apartment.
RE Gas Prices: In PA we’re around $3.50. Gas prices always peak in the summer, and from late November to January. You know when everyone is traveling and creating a high demand.
Still Alive
The cake *is* a lie
Thx everyone.
You’ve seen 3.29, Rhett? I think I’ve only seen the mid 3′s for gas around here.
ditto is back!
Happy and safe travel wishes to Justa J0e.
Here’s echoing the wishes for good Saturdays all around. . .
