All right. A spreadsheet calleths.
Mmmmmm. Coffee. It’s the brew for the crew.
EssBee: The new computer is great. A few interesting problems, but otherwise, I am back to my routine.
Finally watched the movie “Waitress” last week. Really fun, good picture, didn’t put the late Adrienne Shelly’s name together with the Hal Hartley flicks I got into in the early 90′s until looking into her story after watching the movie.
Uh, and about that, don’t look up her story until you’ve enjoyed the whole movie, and even then look into it at your own risk of really being sad after such a fun movie.
What not to buy for someone you like:

I did look it up before seeing ‘Waitress’, very sad but the movie was still fun.
I sooooo need an emergency yodel button.
My conference call just passed the 1 hour mark. I think I actually know less now that I did when it started.
Sounds like you need an emergency yodel button too, EssBee :)
Moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
a cow button?
well, off for lunch with a friend
We had Energizer Bunny puns this morning! w00t.
Every conference call could benefit from some yodeling.
No fight between blond and brunette, a very disappointing episode.
cough
I find the idea of bacon floss a bit disturbing.
But not as disturbing as this:
http://tinyurl.com/6a9su8
and I’m not talking about the price.
Who the hell thought to fuse bacon and chocolate together in a snack? I think they need to also incorporate string beans and tuna.
My grandpa used to eat bacon and peanut butter sandwiches. Maybe he invented that snack from the great beyond?
Today I’m in KC visiting my sister’s family. Ditto, I’ll send you some contact information if you are available after 9PM today or so. :)
What did you think of the True Blood finale Essbee? I was a bit disappointed with the nature of the killer.
That sounds like Pig Lickers, which I heard of this past Minnesota State Fair served at the Famous Dave’s BBQ but never actually tracked down.

Ooh, I loved it Van. It was true to the book. I am also loving the liberties the show is taking with the Tara character. She’s one of my faves.
…and at a (roughly converted) £3.25, a fair bargain compared to the chocolate bar, also fresher!
I haven’t read the book, so what liberties?
In the books, Tara is a white character – unrelated to Lafayette – who doesn’t really come into the picture until about book 3. She is involved with a major vampire figure in the books, and is being treated very badly. She also owns a clothing store in Bon Temps. This witch character she’s with now is sort of a merge of another character from book 2.
I did try a taste of “Big Fat Bacon” (purchased by another family member, can’t recall who) which was at a different stand. This was a 1/3lb strip of bacon on a stick with caramelized maple glaze. The one I had a bite of was pretty good-quality bacon, but the glaze had either been forgotten or inadequately applied.
I found out something truly dangerous today. In downtown Osseo (about 5 minutes from work with favorable stoplights) there is a drugstore complete with Soda Fountain.
You’re really in trouble if they have bacon-flavored soda.
Burp!
Now that you mention it, I have heard of Pork Soda…
Arm & Hammer makes bacon soda – great multi-purpose stuff.
Back from lunch.
This bacon & etc talk is really gross sounding.

I kind of liked that, Van.
Father Forgive Me by Tim O’Brien
Heres a little story and it goes like this
Jesus betrayed by Judas kiss
Jesus needs him dont you see
In his midnight garden of agony
In his midnight garden of agony
He says theres a job I need to do
And Im gonna need a little help from you
If Im gonna free this world from sin
Somebody gonna have to turn me in
Somebody gonna have to turn me in
Father forgive me I never know
I never saw this comin, no I never do
I bow my head and I say your name
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
Had me some friends with a big old band
Lookin for a fiddler to lend a hand
They had all the girls and the cocaine too
Got out my rig and showed all I knew (x 2)
Never got that gig even though I tried
Its just as well cause I might have died
Things arent always what they seem
When you walk in a fog and you live in a dream (x 2)
Father forgive me I never know
I never saw this comin, no I never do
I bow my head and I say your name
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
Little bee buzzin around a flower
Has no idea its his finest hour
Has no idea about the greater scheme
Hes just suckin up nectar for the queen
Hes just suckin up nectar for the queen
And that first time you spoke to me
I couldnt know how big our love could be
Who knew how far love could go
Where it ends well never know
Where it ends well never know
Father forgive me I never know
I never saw this comin, no I never do
I bow my head and I say your name
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
Im just a pawn in a bigger game
wow, you’re apostrophes really went strange on that one, Van.

Pork Soda by Primus
Now listen up you know ya come home from working that nine to five and
lay yourself down on burgundy couch, you know, it never really was
burgundy. It was red, and you painted with the goddamn sprinkler and
now you have bits and pieces of burgundy stuck to your but every time
you get off of it. You never tell your family, you never tell your
family because, you know, ol’ Junior, he’s got no brains, and what can
you do? What can you do? (And old Junior, you know, got a little crazy
with that P.B.J. that one day…??)
CHORUS
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You’ll be feeling just fine
Ain’t nothin’ quite like sittin’ ’round the house
Swillin’ down them Cans of swine
Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad’s an idiot alright!
Well, alright, I’m really starting to worry about you. You had to have
that two-car garage with the large driveway so you could park that
goddamn boat in it. If it wasn’t for the boat (blah blah blah)
CHORUS
I like Kansas wine…
Well, maybe it’s something simpler, like your team lost or your
girlfriend used to be a guy, you know, I don’t know. I mean…(blah
blah blah)

I already had Primus up in my brain from Zack & Miri last week, which kicked off with “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver.”
Alright, if you haven’t seen the new Trek trailer. Grab a copy now. It looks magnificent in 1080 (be sure to right click and save target to get the file to your machine)

Same one, just better quality, Ed? I’ll have to wait and check it out at home.
There’s a bit at the end that wasn’t in the theater.
Blech, month end. I have to go into the office all morning tomorrow. (mostly because I refuse to print the 4 reams of paper for month end reporting on my home printer).
Is this not a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face?
More gobbledegook later…
No Van, it’s a case of wearing out the office printer instead of my own. Also, I’d have to cart it all downtown at some point anyway to file it.
So the new ST movie is looking cool…but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the scenes with the real young Kirk occupy barely more running time than the scene shown in the trailer.
Agreed, Van. I don’t need another podrace.
^ Now that you mention it, Ed, neither do I. Here’s hoping Abrams does better at creating an appealing kid version of a character than Lucas did.
JB: Iris Fey – I like it. Does Pip Ballantine know? ;-)

Morning Pan, another good episode of Dexter this week, flu jab today..please no prick jokes!
Well, now that you mention it, does that word carry the same connotations on both sides of the pond?
Morning Pan!
6:20 in the morning and here I am sitting at the downtown office :(
Here, this will wash away any unfortunate memories of the pork product extravaganza from yesterday…

Did tinyurl really just generate an url with “69sex” in it???
Well, at least it was smart enough to know that your need 2 for it.
I’m using some of the looong holiday weekend to do some much needed cleaning and organizing in my computer room. Lo and Behold! What have I found!
My long lost copy of Spherical Tomi!
Not a bad way to start the holidays.
I’ll have to wait until I get home to look at that. Work system doesn’t like anything with the name “sex” in it and I’d have to get out of the work I’m doing to override it.
Yeah, as the link has nothing to do with the tinyurl, I was wondering if that would be a problem…
There is the word “Chub” in there…
Hope you survived the . . . he he . . . jab, Van.
My girl and I are headed to SouthEastern Colorado, Denver, and SouthWestern Colorado over the next five days. I don’t know that I’ll be around the Pan much, and am a little bummed that I’ll miss downloading the next episode until Sunday. If I don’t talk to y’all until Sunday/Monday, enjoy your week! I hope those of you in the U.S. really enjoy your Thanksgivings and get to spend time with people you love.
Did they really have to call it “Chub”?
I suspect that’s what counts for humor among sausagemakers… at lleast the Alaskan ones. Those people aren’t all exactly right, y’know?
And yes, I have relatives in Alaska, so I am indeed allowed to judge…
Have a good holiday EssBee. The same to all of you in the US.
Look at that. Already went through a ream of paper. Although, it looks like I’m going to get away with only needing three for this month.
Ok, took a few minutes. got out of the work I was doing to override the internet proticols. Actually JB, that sausage looks pretty good (and no gutter comments from the peanut gallery :) )
Hey Jack, phoned in an intro of sorts for a “Ten Year” meme audio segment on the VM line.
I wonder what the federally mandated maximum allowable amount of shiny red nose content in sausage is?
Thanks JB! I’ll check out your chub when I get home. . . . . . . . . . . . . Um. Thanks for the intro!
Safe and happy travels and visits, EssBee. Keep it Like Butta.
Funny words so far today: prick, long, 69sex, chub, jab, ream, sausagemakers, “sausage looks pretty good”, peanut. . . .
I’d say we’re behaving pretty well, considering.
Peanut? Until you mentioned it, I never thought of peanut in any sexual connontation. But now…
“oohhh, the shell is so rough…”
Aw, shucks.
ZP jams on Guitar Hero World Tour:

Not so much nut, but the peanut butter spread on and then licked off.
cough
Peanut butter isn’t as good without honey.
*double cough*
I need to get out more.
or get another jar…
All this coughing around here – it must sound like an infirmary.
Well, I think it’s time to sneak out and see what I can find for food here downtown.
Back in half!
Back from my hunter, gatherer expedition.
Jack, if this is an infirmary, I want to see you in a Dr.’s uniform.
Done. Replete with stethoscope, white lab coat, and icy cold fingers.
Are you breathing heavy now TEB?
ooooh, spine shivers. ;)
Enough of this nudge, nudge, wink, wink. I have finished my reports and am now going to head home.
Home again, home again, jigitty jig!
I now have a can of pumpkin and a block of cream cheese.
Don’t test me!
I’m not afraid to use it!
Pumpkin cheesecake – yum!
So taking JB’s last post as a jump off point. What is the most unhealthy food dish you personally love but most people you know think is disgusting?
For me it’s saveloys, peas pudding and gravy (made with Compton’s Gravy salt).
‘http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saveloy‘
‘http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pease_pudding‘
I probably have mentioned this dish before.
Actually, this is destined to be pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting, but make what you will in your heads…
Be careful with that suggestion, JB.
Van, my guilty pleasures are fairly commonplace. Belgian-style beers, bacon, good french fries, cake batter ice cream, etc. (not all at the same time).
400-sies!
I tend to go for the sour foods. I will take a grapefruit, peel it and eat it like an orange. I’ve also been known to do the same with lemons.
(as a related side note: whiskey sours = yum)
Well tonight I’m going to watch the latest House episode whilst consuming a diet pepsi float.
Loads and loads of bubbles!

So Van, are the calories in the ice cream off set by the diet Pepsi?

This is an old article, but I see that I’ve been called persiflagerate.
http://www.sffaudio.com/2007/10/beam-me-up-podcasts-jack-mangan-tale.html
I admit I had to look it up.
From Dictionary.com
Persiflage
1. light, bantering talk or writing.
2. a frivolous or flippant style of treating a subject.
I’m a little behind in responding to the weird foods I enjoy, but…
I like gravy fries.
Diet pepsi with chocolate syrup.
And
Sour cream on a spoon, finger, or anything else. Sour cream is the best. food. evAr.
Tried poutine, CJ?
Well using regular pepsi would add about 150 calories.
Would taste better though.
JB, I’ve never had poutine, but it sounds good.
Van, I can’t have regular Pepsi due to a nasty sugar sensitivity. I can deal with a little bit of syrup mixed throughout, but I can’t drink sugary beverages. Non-diet sodas and fruit juices make me incredibly ill. It’s not pretty.
Sugar is my nemesis CJ when it comes to weight control.
Busy day. Need to get ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Met Rhettro. Cool guy.
Cj: poutine is yummy.
I have to pack a family of four for four days and I’m avoiding doing so. Anyone here want to do this for me? The rain is making me all daydreamy and lazy.
Ok, just heard the most… interesting song. It’s Motormount from the group Anvil. Here are the lyrics so you can get an idea of how silly this song is.
You’ve tried them all from big to small
But no one’s turned your crank
You’re here tonight to get done right
I’m gonna fill your tank
Pull in the bay it’s your lucky day
Get up on the hoist
From underneath we’ll tool and grease
Gonna get you moist
What I see just can’t be
Have to work you overtime
Gonna line you up and prime you up
Make you run so fine
Lift the hood if you know what’s good
I wanna spark the gap
Fuel injection – no infection
Clean right to the cap
Ride the clutch Motormount
Drive all night
Grind the gears Motormount
Hold on tight
Motormount (drive all night)
Motormount (drive all night)
Dip my wrench into your stench
And twist the nuts up tight
Anticipate, Accelerate
And torque with all my might
Manifold – Got to hold
Transmission – Hydraulic spin
High speed ride – Power Glide
Can’t survive overdrive
Pistons screaming, Rings are seizing
Think your valves are gone
Start to tire, then backfire
No longer can go on
Overheating – you’re peaking
Start steamin’ – watch you blow
High speed ride – Power Glide
Can’t survive overdrive
Motormount (drive all night)
Gee, I wonder what they are hinting at?
Ok, heard other lyrics. Anvil is Spinal Tap.
Anvil sounds familiar. 80s hair metal?
They are truly masters of subtlety.
ditto – that’s great! Rhett is a supercool guy.
There’s something disturbing about the knowledge that tomorrow I’ll be totally without internet… And only because my parents have no wifi. I’m really tempted to bring my portable wifi router… but then my parents might get the idea I want to stick around…
