401 was the goal, wasn’t it? Let me check the show notes….er, nevermind.
Hey Deadpan. Hellish day (and night) at work. Now I’m off to Los Angeles in the morning for 3 days. I’ll try to contribute some nipples in the a.m.
Sweet dreams, yo.
Yo You Ma
I baked some cookies. Wish I could share them with all of you.
Wow. That’s… uh… quite a different type of store ad in Europe.
Definitely NSFW

I’d buy that for a dollar!
ditto: Yay! I look forward to hearing your new segment! :)
Ed, yes. 401. comment goal.
309 – Why am I still up?
Insomnia?
Congratulations on the WS win Cj.
CL: Tea & Chat #34
Morning Deadpan.
6:30 am and I’m going to be stuck downtown most of the day. *sigh*
TEB does a Petula Clark.
Just to be redundant TEB -
RE: Downtown
The lights are much brighter there.
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
The lights are brighter here because there are more of them with all the tall buildings.
Good morning.
Van, maybe it’s early, but thanks … what are you congratulating me for?
You’ll actually find me very sporatic on the board today because I’m downtown until sometime after lunch.
Winning the Worsscraper game on facebook Cj.
-s +d
Cj always wins. She beat EssBee and I at our last game, too.
Hey JOe, (/insert obvious Jimi Hendrex reference here)
Well I’ve discovered that catalytic theft among 4runners is on the rise. One doesn’t have to jack it up to get under it, and the tool they use to cut the pipe is like a shear, from what I understand and doesn’t make much noise. It can be done in less than two minutes. What the thiefs are after are the precious metal content of the converter itself. They can get $50 to $180 out of them. Too bad it won’t cost me $50 to repair the damage.
Isn’t that new music edition of Wander Radio due sometime soon?
Amy: I won’t have time to record until this weekend. :(
Oohhh, that’s WS – now I get it. *drinks more coffee* Thanks, Van!
Shall we play a game?
Wow, the “Downtown” reference put me right back in my mom’s hideous Pontiac, ca. 1978, with the crackly AM radio playing.
Van is absolutely obliterating me in WordScraper right now. I think it’s 400 versus 180 or something.
On my way to the airport — looks like 78 in L.A. today.
Fun and safe journeys to you, EssBee! Be good.
And if you can’t be good, at least be better :D
I’ve already made my first move Cj.
..and that gives me an idea for a stolen paragraph.
So today’s lesson in ripoffenomics.
Dealer’s price for fixing damage to catalytic theft to 4runner: $2300.
Meinke Muffler’s price for fixing the same damage: $325.
You may want to save this post for future reference. LOL
My “me” time this weekend may or may not cause me to record stuff. Time will tell.
Until then – feel free to enjoy sharing a bit of my morning where I’m being attacked by many children:

So, J0e. Finally got a chance to check my personal e-mail, and it says:
“421 SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE
Failed to deliver to domain aol.com after 7 tries.
Last error was:
No recipients were successfully delivered to. ”
You might have to poke Jack for that file as our systems have decided they no longer want to talk to each other… Maybe we should put them on a time out for bad behaviour?”
CP: First Drink of the Day — 7 Seconds of Love
Bunny, I’ve fwded the e-mail to J0e, although the joke is entirely lost now :) .
What’s the most important element of comedy?timing
Thanks for the lesson, Rhett. No matter what happens at the dealership, you’re getting ripped off.
w00t! Already received my script back from copy editor! I’m so early that I’ll get to chill for a couple days!
OK, time to move the rest of the furniture out of the living room so I can dance with the wild toddlers of today!
Yes indeed Jack. So how were the Timber Wolves?
Thanks, Jack. I blame J0e for messing up the timing of that one ;)
Well, 1200 pages of reports finished printing, now to file them away. Woo hoo?
One last segment to record for upcoming WR episode Drops Saturday.
I am surprised how well this is coming together – although it is an hour long… wow lots of content.
Wednesday – Slow go…ice storm recovery begins…
It’s all went misty here, this is when you need background noise of a wolf howling.
Van – “HOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”
wOOt!
Decided to try a new dim sum place downstairs. Man that’s a lot of food they give you. Now must decide if I want to take a containter of food home on the train or not. It just seems such a waste to throw half of it out.
Hey, there’s a hair in my rice! That makes the decision for me.
Well, I think I ‘m at a bit of a standstill here at the downtown office. i think I’ll pack it up and head home.
Dim Sum should never be in need of a shave.
Rhett, I went last night to see the Coyotes play like pure ass vs. the Ducks. It’s always fun to go to games, though.
What happens when you add numbers on a dark day? You get a dim sum.
Totally rame. ;)
Ditto – That was bright… I need to find my shades.
See – I can out lame ditto…
I have found Heaven. My girlfriend just returned from Tequila, Mexico and she brought me a bottle of Almond Flavored Tequila.
ZOMG – sooooo delicious.
Did I say I’d never drink again? Dangit. I’m just no good at staying away from things that are bad for me — especially when they are soooo good!
CJ – You give me hope…
Lord knows I am not good for anyone… :)
Just finished The Watchmen and I HAVE QUESTIONS!!!
Will have to wait until my hubby gets home late tonight and discuss them with him.
There’s always hope for us guys when there are drunk women around. ;)
I’m prepared to discuss Watchmen. I will post the necessary SPOILER!!!! disclaimor if necessary.
Oh, really WNDRWolf? Don’t tease me by telling me you are bad. That’ll just get me into trouble.
I’ve bribed three of the children with the promise of frozen yogurt sticks if they clean my daughter’s bedroom. They are feverishly attempting to clean it.
Ages 3, 5, and 5 – it’s amazing to see their idea of “clean.”
They’ll get the yogurt anyway, of course because I’m just a big softie.
The 18-month-old is in the process of falling asleep.
It’s a good day around here!
Naw, Rhett. I’ll wait until the WatchPan (PanMen?) date has been officially announced and will discuss it then. I think spoilers will be allowed at that point.
I hadn’t thought about the name of the Watchmen palooza. Rorschpan is absolutely not in the running. Neither is Naked Blue Pan.
Anyone want to suggest a date for that Palooza episode? I just want to do it before the movie comes out, so we don’t look like a bunch of poseurs ;) .
CJ – Who’s teasing?
Ozzymanpan?
Dr. Manghattan?
Smiley Bloody Smiley
or my personal favorite: Blue Man Penisapolloza.
Oh! I like Ozzymanpan!
Dr. Panhattan?
^snort!
Ozpandius?
I would say Mid February as the movies is supposed to come out early March.
“Talk Like a Pirate Pan” is probably right out.
I donno, I still think along the lines of WatchPan as it covers all of them, not just one character.
Although, Rhett (and Jack of course), a name that follows the “comic” subplot might be cool. Panrooned? The Panship?
So no “Greasy Blue Nipplapolooza?”
“Watch Pan aka Commedians Make Better Lovers”
WNDRWolf, *swoooon*
Jack,
Is the Watchmen something *I* could read? Being the wuss that I am and all. I can’t tell from what I’ve seen if it’s beyond my realm of wuss-ness.
Who watches the Deadpan?
Cj: Yes, you can read it.
Yes Cj. There are some images of blood, but I can’t recall any gory scenes.
When the dogs are killed.
As graphic novels go, the violence depicted in the art wouldn’t exceed a PG-13 level. But some of the prose is pretty graphic in it’s violence. Of course that is a small part of the overall story.
There’s a picture of a dead dog with his brains showing.
ZP Locks and Loads and takes aim at Gears of War 2:

All of my local libraries have copies checked out until mid-February except my particular library hangout which has one on hold for someone else. Meh. I’ll have to see if the hubby owns it already. If not, I’ll just go buy it.
Then, I need one of you all to come watch the kids while I read it. Volunteers?
I would rank the reason the dog is dead as more disturbing the panel of the dead dog itself. But that event is central to the character of Rorschach. Okay I’m talking out of turn. I’ll save it for the show. :)
When will we be doing the show?
The Watchalooza (no.) will be sometime in February, ditto. I’ll make an announcement in whatever I release tonight – so feedback is welcome.
Been playing the RE5 demo.
I hope Capcom fixes the video tearing.
The controls seem clunky after RE4 on the Wii.

The English do their bit to raise the numbers. Thanks, Vanamonde.
I like either “Ozypandius” or “Dr. Panhattan” as the title for the Watchmen Palooza.
CJ – I’ll say this much. I had planned on having my wife read it prior to us seeing the movie. However, I’ve waved her off of it because of a part of the story in particular with serious violence against children. That’s just one thing she can’t handle in a story and it’s often the case that, especially when a TV show decides to go there, that she’ll turn it off or switch to something else.
I expect it will be downplayed somewhat in the movie, though I plan to check before I’d have her see it with me.
It is a compelling and important piece of literature, no question. But it is not an easy read, either.
“Tales of the Deadpan Freighter”
Dan has showed me that we actually have access to the Watchmen Motion Comic on our Xbox Live. It’s not the entire content though, but if anyone wants to see it in a TV version, it looks like most of it is there for about 20 bucks.
FYI- Dan does have it so I now have it and he’s read it multiple times. He doesn’t think I’ll be able to read it.
I will try! Go me. :)
