December 24th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Van, you should demand an instant replay on that one
December 24th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
1. Is the file not playing for you guys?
2. We had a Marlo Dianne sighting!

Cool to see the Deadpan Christmas song again.
Merry Christmas, Alvie, wherever you are.
December 25th, 2008 at 10:57 am
Tweet: We’ve got a gray Christmas here in Temecula, CA. It’s pouring rain outside.
December 25th, 2008 at 11:20 am
The sky here is the color of a television tuned to a dead channel.
December 25th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Gifts are open. Breakfast/Brunch eaten and cleaned up. Kids are hyped on sugar. Many pictures have been taken. It’s raining, but it’s a beautiful day.
I’m prepping the kitchen for the 2nd wave of guests. Board games in my future I hope!

Great stuff Jack.
Funny card.
December 25th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I also want to send a shout out to those who have yet to check in -
Jessica (AKA The Leather Clad Mistress of the Deadpan), Sarah in Charleston, Alvie and Mrs. Alvie …
December 25th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
That was a really cool episode. Color me impressed. JJ and whoever put together at the Charlie Brown deadpan Christmas special rocked.
I open my gift early because I wasn’t sure if I’d be home for the holidays. I have are he found it very useful. Thank you.
December 25th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Van, my thoughts are with you and your family as well.
December 25th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Jack, that card set us up the bomb! Most excellent.
December 25th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Van sorry to read about your Dad.
December 25th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I’ll chime in on what Trucker said about the Unshow.
Maybe it is just because I am so familur with so much of the material used … but for me, this Ep had a very comfortable feel to it. Like the way the 100th showing of your favorite holiday special does.
… and Trucker’s SSanta bit was warm and wonderful in that “Bing Crosby by the fire side” meets “The Osbournes” sort of way.
Thanks everyone for pitching in and thanks for running it Jack.
December 25th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
. . . if Bing Crosby incorporated glory holes into his act. . .
December 25th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
It was my first time hearing all of it and I thought it was great. I really enjoyed it.
I’m exhausted. Just thought I’d share. Happy and exhausted.
*hugs* to all.
December 25th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Thanks to Cj and Dan for having me over this afternoon. Great people.
And thanks Amy, for the sweet comment over at Evo @ 11.
I have yet to listen, but it was a fun episode to do:

I hope Santa was good to you all.
Congrats to Van for beating me at Scrabble. (I have yet to win a game.) As well as extra thoughts to him and his family.

December 26th, 2008 at 9:05 am
Apparently its my curse to really fuck up any given holiday.
I did spend the last half of yesterday devouring “The Shack” by William Young. It’s heartbreaking, then surprising yet close to overly heady, and then it becomes really surprising and satisfying. Since it’s found in the “Christian Fiction” section, I doubt anyone is likely to check it out, especially considering its about a man who’s lost his daughter to a child serial killer years later gets invited to the place she was murdered to have a conversation with God. Sounds cheesy, but the book is anything but… And truth be told I’m not sure it even belongs in the “Christian Fiction” section, the book is pretty anti-religion, even with Jesus flat out saying he’s not a Christian.
But in any case, it was an excellent book.
December 26th, 2008 at 9:24 am
on the 2nd day of xmas my true love gave to me, the remaining DVD set of star trek the original series I needed to complete the set that I just never got for some unknown reason
on the 1st day of xmas my true love gave to me a whole amazon box full of cheesy vampire porn!!
ok.. that doesn’t match the song at all does it?
now let me catch up here…
December 26th, 2008 at 9:30 am
Dub: I’ll check that out. It sounds interesting. I think if you liked that, you might enjoy “An Instance of the Fingerpost” by Iain Pears. It’s a murder mystery told from 4 perspectives. Each time the story is retold, it is turned on its head. There is religion, philosophy, and intrigue all set in the English post-civil war period.
December 26th, 2008 at 9:31 am
TSH: Sweet. It sounds like you had a good Christmas. And the Vamp porn will inspire you to give Huge a really good Christmas.
December 26th, 2008 at 9:33 am
heheheh “Huge”

I think ditto has some splain’n to do!
December 26th, 2008 at 9:34 am

I am glad to see many of you had a good xmas. Ours was wonderful. We went to Hughs brothers house and celebrated with his whole huge crazy family. It was fun. Saturday we go to celebrate with my family. My parents both work at hospitals and were working both xmas eve and xmas.
Dub- a good book is a good book no matter what its about. I’ll read just about anything myself.

Apparently, your kitty wanted you to drop in at Deadpan, MD
December 27th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Actually, Jack, neither of my guys is too fond of all the time I spend with the square thing. The younger one will frequently will glare at me, wailing, and stomp of the keyboard. She sees it as a clear case of petting the wrong kitty.
December 27th, 2008 at 1:09 am
Hissyfit (the younger) is also the one who has spent the past two years diligently protecting my feet. Really. She only leaves for quick snack breaks.
She doesn’t know what monster is attacking me, but if will alone could kill it and make me all better, my girl a’ done it.
December 27th, 2008 at 7:27 am
Morning, Deadpan!
I threw my hip out last night, so am hobbling about. Still thinking about Van.
December 27th, 2008 at 7:55 am
Sorry to hear that Essbee.
Good morning Pan - I am working on getting the cool stuff over to my new computer…
This is the fun part.

Beautiful Chinook weather today. Will spend the day cleaning off my desk, I think.

Gentle hugs to Essbee - Hope you heal quickly!
Good Morning, Everyone.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:10 am
Morning All.
Essbee - may we pretend you threw your hip out having too much fun?
It would turn a grey day, toastier.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:12 am
MD - Cats!
Do your cats allow you to read the comic section of the paper or do they insist on sitting in the middle of it.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:17 am
J0e, the law of cat dynamics states that all cats must either sit in the middle of or under the paper. nowhere else.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:18 am
OK tech toy nerds!
Another Christmas, another dirty Santa exchange, ANOTHER $50 Best Buy gift card!!
I now have like $380 worth of these things!
So do I go for the upgraded iPod(I have a 2nd Gen 40gig) , iTouch, the Harmony One remote, or the HD TiVo ????
Toys toys toys!
December 27th, 2008 at 9:21 am
I was playing a game of Laser tag earlier today (The pheonix LTX pistols ROCK!!!) and a cat who usually wants NOTHING to do with humans kept going up to hiding combatants and mewing loudly to be petted … signing that combatants death warrant !
Cats!
December 27th, 2008 at 9:28 am
j0e, I don’t know what you like as far as the iPods go, but I love my iTouch.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Hi CJ!
I actually still love my OLD 40gig iPod. Of course it doesn’t do video or pictures.
The iTouch would do that. Does the iTouch have an earphone jack? Does it record any audio or video?
December 27th, 2008 at 9:33 am
I loves my touch also. Yup it has an earphone jack. It will do everything your iPod does and soooo much more. Because it it touch and motion sensitive you can get a whole bunch of cool apps and games for it.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:34 am
One it = has
December 27th, 2008 at 9:36 am
Nope, still wrong… Because it IS touch and motion…
December 27th, 2008 at 9:37 am
It also has a build in GPS so some of the apps (like the restaurant and movie guide and finder) will zero in on your location and give only the local information.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I scared of that. It will tell THEM where I am!
December 27th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Oh … chill out Wordpress.
Does the iTouch have a camera?
December 27th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Mine doesn’t. But that doesn’t mean one isn’t available (or an external one). You’ll have to look that up. I know Vanamonde uses his iPhone to connect to Deadpan and Facebook. It’s the same thing, just without the phone part.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:59 am
EssBee: Hope you feel better.
December 27th, 2008 at 9:59 am
This is mostly for Jack. The US Jr team is also off to a good start. It will be cool to see them and Team Canada head to head.

Yes, to everything TEB said. No phone or recording capabilities, but does all that the iPhone can do pretty much as long as wifi is available nearby.
I have a digital camera and a cell phone with a much lower rate so I don’t have an iPhone and probably won’t unless I can still have my Verizon on it.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Just remember you’ll need a publicly available WiFi connection to use the Touch’s internet connectivity.
December 27th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Um, yeah….what CJ said
December 27th, 2008 at 10:03 am
yep, that’s why I am avoiding th iPhone. Can’t justify the $100 (approx) a month charge to use it.

Thx for the link, ditto. The U.S. team is supposed to be pretty good this year.
I think everyone has me sold on the iTouch, j0e.

My iTouch. Freudian slip.

Cj, thanks for the Kermit Book, arrived today.
To my Secret recipient, I was a Santa Fail this year, though the goods are on hand, I need to get envelope and then ship it…
December 27th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
Good one, ditto.
JOe, go ahead and believe whatever you choose — it can’t be that far from the truth.

And srsly - I hope you feel better.
And - everyone should watch that video. It’s somehow really appropriate for this page.

Cj: That’s funny in a wrong way.

That was to funny…
December 28th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Ok, Peeps. WHO ORDERED ALL THE RUDDY SNOW?!!!
December 28th, 2008 at 8:42 am
Good morning. I’m going to share.
I was born with a birth defect where my feet faced the opposite direction than they should. So, it was “corrected” by nailing my shoes to a two-by-four and that’s how I learned to walk; with my feet in these shoes on a board. Because of this, I have little to no cartilage in my knees and during the cold weather, they tend to go out. Last night, both of my knees caved due to spending time outside in the cold. I’m ticked off because I’m trying to take down all my Christmas decorations and put them back in the garage and my knees are killing me!
I could have surgery, but it would basically require the replacement of both kneecaps and would have to be re-done about every 5 years. My knees are fine 98.5% of the time, but the cold makes me crazy!
Thanks for listening!
I hope Van is doing OK. I miss seeing his posts.
December 28th, 2008 at 8:51 am
That sucks, Cj. Feel free to vent here anytime you want. That’s what we are here for.
I miss Van too.
December 28th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Hope you’re feeling better CJ. I’m assuming, being in a warmer climate is better than in the north on your knees.
Van is keeping us updated on his FaceBook Page. Most of his time is spent with family and at the hospital with his dad. Unfortunately, it’s only a matter of time…
All thoughts and warm hugs are with him.

December 28th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Cj - I had no idea. Well the warm weather has to return soon, right?
I could watch that video about 30 times a day.
December 28th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Well, TSH, hope Hugh doesn’t come down here and kill me, but that was a helluva game today.
December 28th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Also glad to know we’re getting updates on Van. It’s never an easy thing to go through.

Watching the Junior Hockey. Current score, 5 minutes into the third, is 11 - 0 in favour of Canada vs. Kazakhstan. Should I start celebrating it as a win yet?
December 28th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Oh, sorry, 12 -0 and we’re actually 10 minutes into the third.
December 28th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
SOG: 60 - 11
December 28th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
13 - 0. Canada also has a 7 minute powerplay. There’s only 6 minutes left in the game.
December 28th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
14 - 0. Three minutes left.
I’m really, really sorry.
December 28th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Well, it was a nail biter, but Canada pulled through. Final score: 15 - 0
December 28th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Now playing the CDN national anthem. Any bets for the
Canada/US game? Loser has to record themselves singing the winning national anthem and send it in to Jack…?
December 28th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Sounds amusing.
When’s the game?
December 28th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
January 31
December 28th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Ok try again. December 31
December 28th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
So ditto and I are in for the Canadian side, any takers on the US?
December 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Actually I should say, “it SOUNDS like ditto and I…”
I shouldn’t just assume he said yes by his inquiry.
December 28th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Not me.
I am, however, ordering won ton soup for takeout. That’s all I want right now. Won ton soup and nothing more. I’m so easily pleased.
December 28th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
I’m not much of a singer, but sure! Remind me, Bunny.
We’re back home, and glad for it. Lots of family visiting - accomplished. There is nothing but crap on TV tonight. We tried watching Miami Vice and turned it off after 10 minutes. We watched 30 minutes of Ghost Rider before giving up on it. I think I’ll just finish Mythago Wood.
December 28th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
EssBee if talent was a factor then I’d definately be out

Morning Pan!
Back to work today - blech. Also started a new workout routine - ugh.
Not many takers on my bet, (thanks EssBee and ditto) I see. Keep in mind, nothing says you have to bet on your own country
December 29th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Yeah, I’ll bet on the US to win…
December 29th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Yep, back at work too. =P Oh well, three days of work and then four days off. I liked sleeping in.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:27 am
Morning, Deadpan!
I’m off this week too, so am just getting out of bed.
I heard from Van that he’s holding it together, but nothing more than that. I’m keeping him in my thoughts today.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:28 am
According to my latest spam mail, the IRS screwed up my last tax return and I’m owed a large refund. Too bad I don’t file with the IRS…
December 29th, 2008 at 7:40 am
oohhh, Wander Radio episode downloading.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:47 am
Van guessed at my FB daily idiom - I consider this a good thing as he hasn’t for a couple of days.
I do think he’s ghosting at the Deadpan though, as he seems to know when updates are put here on the board.
As such, I very much encourage warm wishes and virtual hugs.
December 29th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Enjoy your vacation Essbee. I have Van in my thoughts as well/
TEB: I guess the IRS really did screw up if they are tracking you. LOL
December 29th, 2008 at 8:00 am
Oh, if the unlikely should occur, do you need english, french, or the full bilingual treatment?
December 29th, 2008 at 8:12 am
ooooooooh *breathy sigh* the “full bilingual treatment” please
December 29th, 2008 at 8:38 am
I only know the English version of the CDN anthem, I don’t expect more than that - in the VERY likely event someone has to sing it.
December 29th, 2008 at 8:46 am
Well Pan. I’m off to buy a new door knob for our back door. Stupid cold weather did something to the lock and we can no longer get our keys to work.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:00 am
Lots of hugs for Van.
I went through the same thing a few years ago. It really sucks.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:01 am
I’m in on the bet. And if Canada loses, I’ll sing the Indian Nipple song, but not all 5+ minutes of it.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:02 am
TEB: Correct me if I’m wrong, but did TEB say she want’s two tongues as a treatment?
December 29th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Rhettro: The IRS track everyone!
December 29th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Suc Lebleu! I think.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:15 am
TEB - I have no idea what the to sides are competing in but if it’s some sort of “Water Boarding” and “Old Men shooting other old men in the face with a shot gun” competition … I’d have to give the edge to the U.S.
I also may need to brush up on my CDN anthem lyrics.
I recall it as being something like -
“Oh Can-a-da
Your weather can be cold.
You are - waaay - up North
And your flag has a leaf on it.”
… I’m afraid the next verse gets a little sketchy for me.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:28 am
I think it is more like…
Oh Dead-a-pan
Our home and native board
Jack Mangan rules
The whole pod-i-o-verse…
With glowing hearts we load the page
To submit our greasy nipples
From far and wide, oh deadpan
We comment incessantly!
Jack’s episodes are just as much fun
Oh deadpan, we comment incessantly
Oh deadpan, we comment incessantly!

December 29th, 2008 at 9:38 am
My hubby wants to get an acoustic set of the Nipple song going on. Jack, bring your guitar over here; there is music to be made.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Hmmm Cj and Jack making beautiful music together.
December 29th, 2008 at 10:31 am

Being the John Tesh / Yanni wannabe that I am, I got a cool Yamaha keyboard for Xmas. You can expect me to torture.. er enlight the board with some amaturish samples at some point.

December 29th, 2008 at 11:06 am
I don’t think I can hit the high notes in that Nipple song, Dan, but I’m down. I wonder if the tablature is available anywhere online.
ditto, that Oh Deadpan/Canada was brilliant :).
Rhett, I own a Yanni CD. I will admit to liking some of that guy’s music. And his mustache.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:23 am
That’s some mustache! I actually like some new age-ish stuff. Although for keyboard music I tend to like the Wendy/Walter Carlos stuff.

Actually, reverse that I’m at 0 and umpteen (haven’t won yet)
December 29th, 2008 at 11:40 am
TEB: It’s a Yamaha PSR-E413. It’s really cool, loaded with all sort of stuff. I mainly got it to explore a few more musical possibilities as well as being able to create backing tracks for playing guitar. I have no previous keyboard experience however. LOL One of the cool things I did with it was to upload Tron & Symphony X MIDI files to it. Sounds great.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Is it a full 88 keys? (I suppose I could look it up).
I had a piano that had a broken sound board so I replaced it with the keyboard a couple of years ago and don’t think I’ll go back.
Mine has a setting called “spaceship” on it (or something like that). I like to do the Close Encounters theme using that setting.
I have some piano and organ in my background but mostly fool around. It’s been awhile since I’ve tried playing anything for real, so I don’t think I’m much good any more. Unfortunately, it’s NOT like a bike; if you don’t keep it up, you do lose it.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Keyboard new age: I’m a huge fan of Mike Oldfield. Tangerine Dream is also the shiznit. And you can’t forget Jean-Michel Jarre.
Rhett- that Yamaha sounds like a lot of fun. (I’ll leave the “organ” jokes to someone else).
J0e - I think you need to finish your version of “Oh Canada”
EssBee, there is no 3rd Terminator movie.
December 29th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Looked it up (to answer my own question). It looks cool, Rhett
December 29th, 2008 at 11:54 am
I was ok with the third Terminator movie. What i like best was the fact that they followed what was always said and destroyed the planet. That’s the one thing that bugged me about the first two movies was the paradox they were creating by trying to change the future and make Skynet never exist and the ruling by the robots not happen. If that’s the case, then the terminator could not come back and try to take out Sarah Connor, The kid would have never been born, etc.
At least the third movie tried to bring it back and remove that paradox, and didn’t try to cop out with a “happy ending”
December 29th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
TEB: As you discovered, it’s a portable, i.e. less than 88, which is fine by me as I’m not even a novice player yet. LOL My wife though is quite good. We have a real upright piano in our house that is badly in need of tuning. She’s happy that the Yamaha will never go out of tune.
December 29th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I need some validation:
I got the new tax program in the mail today and am now eagerly loading it onto my computer. My husband says I’m weird and the only person in the world who gets excited over a tax program. Tell me he’s wrong.
December 29th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I’ve always liked it when we got new versions of Quicken. LOL
December 29th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Quicken rules my world and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t enjoy doing my own taxes a little bit.
On another note, I’ve always loved Tangerine Dream. I really should update my music collection as I only have them on cassette.
December 29th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Yeah, I feel better!
December 29th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Yup been ghosting TEB.
Thanks again for the hugs and kind thoughts.
Me and my family are just waiting for the end. At least my Dad is no longer in pain.
December 29th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Good to hear from you again, Van. *flurry of virtual hugs*
December 29th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Great to see you online, Van.
Jack, there is only one Terminator film with Kristanna Loken.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Add me to the Yanni club. We’ve got a few here. And, I agree with Jack: Mike Oldfield and Tangerine Dream are great. I don’t, however, have any Jean-Michel Jarre, but I do have Phillipe Glass.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Glad to see you back Van. All my sympathies.
December 29th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
As for piano, I’m working on relearning everything that I’ve forgotten over the past 5 years. I wasn’t that far along to begin with, but I plan to make a more serious effort this time around.

Thanks everyone
ditto- we checked out that site. Very interesting work they do. We are both big surrealism fans.
We hope 2009 will be the triumphant return to the art world for us.
We hate to admit it, but seeing what other artists are up to is making us insanely jealous
We live in this really cool artist community neighborhood here, and they are constantly having art shows. Its so exciting, and there is so much great art coming out of here, but it also makes us very jealous. We’re itching to get our recent work out there.
December 29th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
You guys will rock the art world in 2009. And even if you’re keeping low-key right now, the output we see is still kickass.
Season 5. right.

So we patted ourselves on the back and said: Wow, we managed the whole holiday season without using plastic “money.”
Then I found myself driving down the road, turned on my wipers (which had been acting slightly oddly) and suddenly the driver’s side wiper was pointing into traffic. Never a good thing, but especially in Minnesota in winter. Took it in, had the wipers fixed, and the annoying rattle that seemed harmless (broken stabilizer) and the much-overdue oilchange. $637 to the plastic.

December 30th, 2008 at 10:19 am
OK
Time for another “Ask The Deadpan!” posting.
Is there a word (and if not … can we please create one) that means,
“I have heard what you just told me so you don’t need to say it again, it’s just that I have absolutely nothing to say about the topic and would rather not just make inane comments about it that would lead to yet another pointless conversation that would best be reserved for a Cohen Brothers film.” ?
December 30th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Example - You are warming up turkey left over for your relatives who are staying with you and they suddenly say “There is a new container of Kewl wHHip in the refrigerator.”
No one has ask for this desert toping on their turkey and in fact to this point there has been no talk of a desert topping shortage. This would seem to be just a random thought that made it to their vocal cords.
If you just go about your business, they repeat the comment because they think you didn’t hear them.
If you respond “Oh” or “Okay” or “I see” they think you are being short with them.
If you form an answer as a complete sentence it seems to signal that you are really INTO this topic and a mind numbingly inane discussion of that container and it’s predecessor will ensue.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:21 am
There has to be a word that acknowledges yet stops the thought (politely) in it’s tracks.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:23 am
JOe, how about these phrases:
“Is that right?!”
“I’ll be damned.”
“You don’t say.”
December 30th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Nope. Those show WAY to much interest in the topic and start a conversation about it.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:26 am
Just caught up on my Twitter feed. Jack, did you see @spellwight’s latest posts there?
December 30th, 2008 at 10:26 am
I’d respond, “Your hair’s on fire.”
December 30th, 2008 at 10:28 am
LOL
The flame would be blue.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Or maybe, “I’ve always preferred the lubrication qualities of a fresh one.”
December 30th, 2008 at 10:31 am
I know this makes me seem to just big butterhead but multiply that example by 24/7 and I begin to see how “whole family massacres” occur.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:34 am
I actually like all of my relations. After a few days though …
December 30th, 2008 at 10:36 am
It’s all relative.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I can never remember - Is their hair blue as it approaches and red as they move away … or is it the other way around?
December 30th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I think when the chorus sings “scaramouch, scaramouch, will you do the fandango?” in Bohemian Rhapsody, what they’re really saying is “yes, yes I know you see a little silhouetto - now shut up”.
So try “scaramouch”, the next time you find yourself in that situation, j0e.

Joe, isn’t that what um-hmm is for? You know, the barely vocalised semi-moan, usually used between spouses, that means ‘Yes, I heard you sweetie, and thanks, really, but, you know, I just don’t give a…crap.’
December 30th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
MD - That’s what I figured. I thought it was a universally accepted answer.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Jaj- Might be only universal in interspousal communications.
December 30th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Another fun one is the “Repeat anecdote teller.”
Anyone have one of them over the Holidays.
A few of us on the receiving end have made a game out of it to try and maintain sanity.

The Buffy Between the Lines episode I wrote has finally had it’s script released. It is awesome beyond all recognition. Uh, by that I mean it doesn’t suck.
But I suppose all those who happen through here regularly will have to wait to hear the produced ep, aside from that Brian Brown fella…
December 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Wow.
I just found out that a married couple who I’ve always thought were just perfect are getting a divorce. That’s officially 4 divorces in 1 year for the people I know. I know a lot of people, but that’s still too many.
December 30th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Very cool, JB. Keep us posted.

Of course, sarcasm + “How nice” works fine too.

Thanks again for the kind thoughts and virtual hugs.

Thanks for trusting us with this deeply personal pain, Van. I’m so sorry for your loss.
Anything you need, please let me know. You have my friendship and my condolences and sympathies, brother.
December 30th, 2008 at 10:49 pm
And with that, I’m going to bed. Good night (or morning, to Van)!
December 30th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
You have my condolences as well, Van. Having gone through that, what feels like recently, myself - I can understand your pain and know that words are not enough. My you and your family have comfort in knowing that he is at peace. Much love and hugs to you.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:21 am
I’m so sorry, Van
I know its hard to look ahead, but new years has a funny way sometimes of making you feel like you are starting over. No matter whats happened to you and what you are looking forward to, its a rebirth of sorts I guess. Keep on living and moving forward like your father would of wanted you to.
As for me, I am hoping 2009 is the year we finally destroy Hugh’s cancer. We are starting the year with guns blazing, so we are probably going to be MIA after today for a bit.
So, happy new year everyone. Keep looking forward to what the new year can bring. And Van, celebrate your fathers life and the good memories.
ok, sorry this post is all so fucking serious and shit
December 31st, 2008 at 6:02 am

Today is the day of the game. 4:00 my time (3:00 Deadpan time).

Any other takers?

Awww, Van.
If you need, or want anything, let us know. *another virtual hug*

Condolences, Van. We love you here and are sending it that way.
Hotties, kick it’s ass. You’ll be missed.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:21 am
Condolences, Van.
We’re all here if you need comfort or distraction in the coming days/weeks…
December 31st, 2008 at 6:27 am
Amy, I’ll write my “7 Things” thing when my parents leave. They are arriving here this morning and staying through tomorrow lunch. I’ll probably be sparse(r) around here until then.
CP: Evo @ 11 #20. Nice to hear you, Jack. I just finished #19 and really enjoyed hearing you too, Cj. Debbie cracks me up.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:27 am

TEB - any chance I can change my side and cheer for the Sweds ?
I’ve seen them get hit by cars and still fight off the cops!
December 31st, 2008 at 8:56 am
Sure, I’ll do Canada Sweden, too. Not sure when the Canada/Swede game is (will look it up). I’m also not too worried about singing the Swede National Anthem because I know I’ll win
(so make sure you brush up on your CDN Anthem)
December 31st, 2008 at 8:58 am
Sorry J0e. Just looked it up. The Canada/Sweden game was yesterday.
Canada lost 3 - 4. do I still have to sing the anthem since the game happened before the bet was made?

TEB, I think that site’s translation of
“Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord,
du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!” from the Swedish national anthem is inaccurate.
It should be:
“Death to false metal. Satan comes from the North,
Shop at Ikea, use allen wrenches or taste steel!”
Something like that.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:14 am
December 31st, 2008 at 9:16 am
Weird. When I suck air through my empty travel coffee cup, it totally tastes like weed smoke.
Uh, I mean, I’d imagine so…
December 31st, 2008 at 9:17 am
So, new betting schedule:
Canada vs US = ditto, myself vs. JB, EssBee
Canda vs Sweden = myself vs. J0e
Any other takers?
(I better back off before I commit myself to singing every national anthem attending
)
December 31st, 2008 at 9:18 am
Of, course, everybody better bone up on their Canadian National Anthem as I have no intention of actually having to sing myself.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:25 am
Speaking of taste, apparently Red Bull now makes a cola, which I had to buy a can of out of curiousity.
I occasionally drink regular Red Bull, which tastes like Strawberry KoolAid mixed with metallic ass. Never stops me tho.
This one is actually very good as colas go. Won’t replace my Coca Cola, but probably ranks above RC for my second favorite, assuming it lasts as a product. Would be plenty good with Rum.

Wha? Were we still talking about Hockey ? That’s Okay, I stick with Sweden. With those long arms they will be sinking free throws right and left!
December 31st, 2008 at 9:43 am
… just out of couriosity, do they have a “per half, run limit” in these Jr. leagues?
December 31st, 2008 at 9:44 am
couriosity = curiosity
December 31st, 2008 at 9:48 am
ummm. I really hope you’re kidding J0e
You do know it’s hockey, right? Not basketball.
December 31st, 2008 at 9:55 am
… er, the thing on the ice, with the wickets. Right?
December 31st, 2008 at 9:59 am
No, the thing on the ice where they skate around the bases
December 31st, 2008 at 10:00 am
The ump gets them in a circle and then they have a puck-off and push the thing around with their wickets till someone gets it in the basket. There is also something about a “blue line” but that might only be if you are penalized.
Oh, and they take fight breaks.
I went to a hockey match once. I remember they served beer and there was this girl with a fur lined parka and these boots. … and they served beer.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:01 am
J0e, that’s not hockey — that’s curling.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:02 am
I thought they sang Kum-by-ya when the ump put them in that little circle…
December 31st, 2008 at 10:04 am
Isn’t curling where they through rocks at people to see if they can hit them?
December 31st, 2008 at 10:05 am
through = throw
December 31st, 2008 at 10:06 am
And btw - to be serious for a moment - that was a beautiful post from the Smarty Hotties this morning. If you guys are still lurking, then you know that Deadpan is always behind you 100%. You’ll be missed during your hiatus.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:07 am
That’s what always bugged me about The Postal Service’s song “Nothing Better.” The line about the “goalie tending the net in the third quarter of a tie-game rivalry.”
Quarter? Soccer is halves, and hockey three periods. Is there a sport with a goalie that is measured out in quarters?
December 31st, 2008 at 10:10 am
Soccer?
December 31st, 2008 at 10:13 am
Nope. Not sure, then

Did I mention the beer and the hot chick and beer?
It was some years ago though. Maybe it was Curling.
Jack is wise, after all.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:34 am
Yes, beer seems to be an essential at a hockey game (although I always drive so therefore do not partake).
Can’t speak to the hot chick, though. Not what I’d be looking at…
December 31st, 2008 at 10:40 am
Although I’m not a great fan, football seems a far more appropriate name than soccer for a game that mostly involves using your foot to kick a ball.
December 31st, 2008 at 10:44 am
As opposed to US/CDN versions which is mostly throwing and running
December 31st, 2008 at 10:45 am
There’s currently no beer at collegiate hockey games, at least here in MN…
They were considering a plan to serve alcohol in premium seating and luxury boxes, but that has been controversial, and I’m not sure if they will go forward with it.

December 31st, 2008 at 11:44 am
But who would want chocolate cake via injection?
December 31st, 2008 at 11:46 am
JB, it’s all the cake taste with none of the carbs. I call that a win win for Cj! The side effects are nice too. It makes me happy in oh, so many ways…

December 31st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
From the ad copy -
“Each bottle of this delicious carbonated grape drink is crafted with care… and a slight feeling of breathless anticipation. As Tentacle Grape™ slides smoothly down your throat you’ll feel refreshed and full.”
December 31st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
I have trouble believing this as is for real.
December 31st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
“Tentacle Grape is now available… so WATCH OUT! You gonna get GRAPED!”
…eesh! This would seem to have a very, specificly targeted market share.

December 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Yes!! Score now 3 - 2. Told you we’d pick it up.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:08 pm
That was a cheap shot US. One player on the bench stuck out his stick and hit a Canadian player. The commentators say there may be suspensions over this

I think I want to give vocal lessons to the Minnesota team. “I’d like to teach the Wild to sing…”
Ok I know I was reaching for that one.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Since Canada has a chain for the hockey player Tim Horton, should we also start one for Lanny”McDonald”?
December 31st, 2008 at 5:20 pm
What’s the sweetest moment in a hockey game?
When they’re icing the puck.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Why do hockey players always hurry to catch their next flight? Because it’s “two minutes ‘fore boarding”
December 31st, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Who’s in goal for both teams, TEB?
December 31st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Whose playing again?
December 31st, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Dustin Tokarski for Canada, I’ll have to get back to you on the US side.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:30 pm
McCollum for US
December 31st, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Canada vs. US, Van. If Canada wins, EssBee and JohnBoze will sing the CDN national anthem. If the US wins, ditto and I will sing the US anthem.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Oh, sorry. Hockey’s the game.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Earmuffs on Standby.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Everybody else were cowards (except J0e) and wouldn’t join in the betting.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Do you have the game on TV there, Bunny? I tried to find it online, but - no luck.
Van, are you still in karaoke hell?
December 31st, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Yup, TSN Canada is playing it live. (hence the play by play)
December 31st, 2008 at 5:38 pm
You can try here, Jack
http://www.tsn.ca/
PS: Canada just scored one minute into the second
December 31st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
US just tied it at 4 all
December 31st, 2008 at 5:45 pm
That wasn’t a US goal. Our goalie scored on our own net.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:45 pm
I know, it still counts
December 31st, 2008 at 5:47 pm
ok, guys. You’re spending too much time in the Canadian zone
December 31st, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Hah! 10 minute misconduct to a US player. (only 2 minute power play for Canada, though)
December 31st, 2008 at 5:50 pm
5 - 4 Canada now - powerplay goal
December 31st, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Not available in your region
Sorry, the video you are trying to watch is not available in your region.
Bah! Thanks for the attempt though, Bunny. I have a page from iihf.com keeping me updated. And your play-by-play
I’ll probably watch the Winter Classic at a sports bar tomorrow.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Almost capacity crowd. I know when Canada was playing Kazakhstan, the stands were half empty.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:56 pm
I guess that’s the difference between Canada and the US. The Canada TSN website is playing it live, I guess it’s not as big of a thing in the State.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Not that it matters, as far as the website goes for me, TSN Canada TV is also playing the game.
If you want anything more in depth, Jack I have Skype on Ryah Lee in Calgary
December 31st, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Five minutes left in the second.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:05 pm
They’re now talking to the Ontario Premier. How… interesting?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:05 pm
Great save by Canada.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Quote by commentator: “it’s official, this game has now had everything.”
Did I miss something?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Thx TEB
But - I should be getting my act together for NYE festivities. I can keep checking in here and on the constantly-refreshing scorepage. We should probably be linked on Skype anyway though.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Score: 5 - 4 Canada
Essbee, JB, I hope you’re warming up your vocal chords.
Now time for a bathroom break.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:10 pm
Have fun at doing the NYE thing, Jack.
We’re staying home for a quiet evening, I think.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
The commentator was talking about “the parade to the penalty box”
I don’t remember seeing any floats or marching bands.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:15 pm
THX Bunny. I’m around for a little while longer.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Meanwhile… We are part of an internet sheet music thing. My husband has just downloaded some stuff from the newest Ozzy Ozborne album and is busy playing that.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Oh, My, God. Just saw a Cialis commercial. It was following a news story about a couple that has been missing for four days.
Four days? Is that even possible?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Third period just starting now.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:30 pm
So far, just a back and forth game. Not much happening this period, yet. 4 minutes into the third.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:36 pm
US penalty. Goalie interference. That was a silly penalty. In all fairness it should have been against Canada.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
No change in the score (5-4 Canada) half way through the third.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
record attendance 20,223. Includes our Prime Minister.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
apparently, the building capacity is 19,153. Does the fire marshal know?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:46 pm
five minutes left in the game. No change in the score
December 31st, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Hopefully the boys can get the equalizer.
Although - you guys do have the best national anthem.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Oh, Adanac…
December 31st, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Last minute of play…
Can’t wait to hear those dulcet tones
December 31st, 2008 at 6:51 pm
US calls a time out.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:52 pm
US pulled their goalie
December 31st, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Empty net goal by Canada.
EssBee, JB. Sing for me babes. Sing for me
(6 - 4 Canada 30 seconds left to play)
December 31st, 2008 at 6:55 pm
J0e, I’ll see you in the finals.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Just to add insult to injury. 7-4 Canada. 10 seconds left
December 31st, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Why did the US leave their goalie pulled when they were down by 2 anyway?
December 31st, 2008 at 6:56 pm
That’s game.
We win!!! Yeah.
December 31st, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Players of the Game
US: 33 Colin Wilson (1 assist)
Canada: 19 John Tavares (3 goals)
December 31st, 2008 at 7:00 pm
apparently we just say the game of the century. Silly commentators.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:00 pm
John Tavares seems to be the real deal.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:00 pm
say = saw
December 31st, 2008 at 7:00 pm
As opposed to those fake players, Jack?
December 31st, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Now playing the Canadian National Anthem. Listen and learn JB, Essbee.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Seriously, I’m not sure if Tavers has been picked up by the majors but, if not, I’m sure he’ll be making millions soon
December 31st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
According to his bio on TSN. Tavares is eligible in 2009 for the draft.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:08 pm
ooohhh. Next up. Calgary Flames vs. Edmonton Oilers. Won’t do the play by play for this game, though.
I’m sure you’ve had enough
December 31st, 2008 at 7:11 pm
Yeah, Tavares is the next rookie sensation, a la Crosby/Ovechkin.
OK, everyone, looking forward to receiving those “Oh Canada” recordings
December 31st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I might as well be watching the juniors. The score is tied at three, still in the first. strange.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:34 pm
I think I’ve had too much wine. Score tied at 2 not 3
January 1st, 2009 at 9:36 am
Whew. I don’t have to sing the nipple song!
Happy New Year, everyone!
