*ahem*
If you turn to page four of your reports, you’ll note the comment numbers for March 2009 were 1,380. While this is down 19% from the same period last we, we fully understand this is a reflection of the comment economy as a whole, not simply the Deadpan comments. However it behooves us to request a better comment count from the Deadpan community. If we all endeavour to increase our comments we will be able to raise our comment count and, dare we say, surpass the numbers for the period of April that were made last year.
Thank you for your time.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:20 am
Damn…
same period last we = same period last year
April 9th, 2009 at 7:22 am
I pledge to do my part, TEB.
Damn, didn’t get the episode this morning. Have to wait. Hate waiting!
April 9th, 2009 at 7:23 am
On a sadder note, today would have been my friend Steve’s 44th birthday. He died on August 6th of last year. I’m thinking about him and his family today.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:25 am
Am I the only one here picturing TEB in a sharp, tailer fitted, grey suit … with a telescoping pointer in one hand.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:26 am
Sorry for your loss EssBee.
I myself am really, really struggling with similar.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:27 am
Nope.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:27 am

April 9th, 2009 at 7:30 am

April 9th, 2009 at 7:33 am
Hoo boy, so here I am thinking: “Who’s the dork acting alongside Tee Morris?”
April 9th, 2009 at 7:34 am
In an effort to do my part to increase the comments, I give you (real) children’s names that… should have had more thought put into them.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:34 am
To be fair, he has performed professionally.
April 9th, 2009 at 7:34 am

Re: The CDN dumbass memory. That’s actually fairly common. There are still people in the US who think we don’t have proper housing, electricity, or hot and cold running water (it’s true – I actually fielded some questions regarding this for World Fantasy)

April 9th, 2009 at 7:40 am
I’ve got a pair (may have mentioned this on-Pan?).
I worked as a school photographer for a season back in the 90’s and we were allowed to take pictures of preschoolers who were related to one of the gradeschoolers. So the lady says there are preschooler twins to be photographed together. So she calls them over.
“Alaska, Alaska get over here, Nebraska, you too.”
Alaska and Nebraska. Worse, this was in Omaha…

April 9th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I also take issue with the name Petra – What is that? Petra?
April 9th, 2009 at 9:02 am

My silly name is Buttercup Barfnose
April 9th, 2009 at 9:04 am
People harassed me for naming my son Fletcher which I happen to think is adorable. I would have named him Jeremy if it’d been my choice alone, but since I got to name my daughter – it was only fair to let the hubby choose our sons name. I’m partial to J names – especially Jeremy.

Earlier, JohnBoze said:
“Hoo boy, so here I am thinking: “Who’s the dork acting alongside Tee Morris?†”
When I read that, the first thing I did was laugh. Your acting is just fine, JB. :-)
The second thing I did was get embarrassed, and the third thing I did was start wondring about something. I didn’t tell anyone that Tee Morris would be playing that part; I wanted it to be a big surprise. It didn’t occur to me that I would get a reaction like that from another actor. If I had told all the actors who the special guest star was up front, would you have been more nervous? Should I have done things differently? (Private answers via e-mail or Twitter DM are welcome, if you prefer.)

OMFG. More proof PETA is absolutely insane. They are trying to pressure the Pet Shop Boys to change their name to Rescue Shelter Boys since Pet Shops are bad for animals.

ditto, it’s a cute game. Sort of Tomb Raideresque. I wouldn’t give it an outstanding review, but it’s an ok time waster. The graphics are very nice, though. (6 out of ten? Maybe 7)

Good afternoon, Deadpan! It’s been a good day so far, with a small hiccup/missed communication between the dentist office and my better half. The receptionist there didn’t know I was there already, so called my house to find out if I was on my way. Caused some unnecessary worry, for sure.

Actual title of the song: “The Rockafeller Skank”.
And thanks for the ^%&$#$% earworm. :P

Most excellent. Rimmer looks like he’s lost a bit of hair, but otherwise, those guys don’t look like they’ve changed a whole lot in 10 years.
I really need to watch that whole series all the way through. Caught it in bits and pieces way back when it would run on PBS here in the States.

Marlo, if you need to get that song out of your head, you can always invoke the chickens :)
April 10th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I am not halfway through importing the Audiobook of “Atlas Shrugged.” The county library system had it in their collection.
42 CDs…..52 hours of spoken audio. I will start listening to it this week after I finish the Dune audiobook.
Thankfully, these CD’s have only been taking a few minutes apiece to pull.
Any of you more literate Panites gone through this story? The book itself is a 1000 page behemoth. I’m pretty sure having it read to me is the only way I’ll find the time to get through it before I’m a retired grandfather with more free time.
April 10th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Of course, from what I’ve learned of Ayn Rand, she’d probably be appalled at the very idea of a public library….ironic.
April 10th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
As I recall, the prose didn’t appeal to me. And, for me, the more words the you use, the more you better really really not suck. Every word has to count.
I hear it’s had a minor surge in popularity though. Apparently, the idea of the rich getting sick of being abused by the poor and going off to make their own society….well, the haves at fox news were into it.
April 10th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
Actually, I do wonder how the writers who rail poison against ‘piracy’ ever sync up with the idea of libraries.

I was going to identify “The Rockefeller Skank” for Van, but marlodianne beat me to it. I know the song because somebody decided it would be a great song to accompany a chase scene in “Digimon: The Movie,” and I have the soundtrack.

Amy’s comment is finally free from murgatory. I’d have have guessed that it ended up in murgatory for the term, “skank” – but then – why did Marlo’s comment get a pass?
The potential for comedy here is endless, but out of respect for the two parties involved, I’ll let it go. :)

Had an excellent Easter with family…the children played and ran themselves into exhaustion – which makes bedtime a good bit easier :)
And, finally finished the first book of Terry Goodkind’s “Sword of Truth” series. Started reading it after learning about the “Legend of the Seeker” series on Slice. A most excellent yarn.
I had hoped to be able to do the next book on audiobook, but the reviews the 2nd book has received on Audible have pretty much ripped the reader. So, looks like I’ll be putting my eyes through that 1000 pager.

April 13th, 2009 at 8:34 am
[Popping in] We do have some early risers around here, don’t we? What’s your typical wakeup time?
I’m usually up at 8-ish on workdays. Non-work days vary. . . We all know I sometimes stay up late – so I’ll often sleep in ’til around 10-ish, when I can. [/Popping in]
April 13th, 2009 at 8:34 am
Wow Ed, that sucks.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:36 am
I’m up at 5 a.m. most days. Gotta work out, and if I don’t do so before work it won’t happen at all. On the weekends, I’ll sleep in if I can, but I never sleep past 7 a.m., no matter how late I stay up the night before. I suffer from insomnia, so I try very hard to be in bed by 9 p.m. so that I can read until I’m sleepy.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Wake up time depends on what shifts I’m on that week, even then every start time is different.
What doesn’t really change is the amount of sleep, after about 6 hours I get a bad back and it wakes me up.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:39 am
CJ – Glad to hear the little ones went to sleep. Mine woke up this morning with whatever bug I had yesterday.
Being sick sucks, in case anyone was wondering :)
April 13th, 2009 at 8:41 am
I’m typically up around 5am on workdays to get to the office by 6:30am. I usually stay up too late, though.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:41 am
I usually get up somewhere between 6 and 7am. Today was unusual – I was in bed until 8:30 – but as I said before, I was wiped from this weekend. I stay up much too late almost every day, but mostly because I’m working or I’m doing something to wind down so I can sleep. I suffer from insomnia as well and I need my wind down time.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Oh no, Ed – a break-in and sick kiddos. That’s no fun!
April 13th, 2009 at 8:44 am
Yeah sorry to hear that Ed.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I’m with Van on the wake up time sliding all over the place. Today, I have to be up for 4:30pm (which is less than four hours from now.) Tomorrow, if I’m good, I’ll get up at 4pm. Thankfully, after that I’ll be able to get up at 8pm for the rest of the week. Then on the weekend, I’ll try to sleep early so I can get up around 11am to be with the family.
I know that keeping a standard sleep schedule makes me happier, but trying to convince the world to let me sleep from 2pm to 8pm every single day has proven to be well beyond my capabilities.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:55 am
I’m usually up between 5-6. When I’m really lazy (like this morning) It can be as late as 6:20. Work days anyway, though 8AM is as good as it gets between Fox & Iris on weekends.
April 13th, 2009 at 8:57 am

Tuesdays: generally by 8:30, I think (no class until 1:00, but I like to be at the school for lunch at noon)
Thursdays: by 8:00 at the latest (well, I try) so I can be there to start cleaning at 10:00
Fridays and Saturdays: any time from 7:00 to 8:30 depending on when that week’s meeting/service project starts
Sundays: by 9:00 at the latest, for a 10:00 church service
I, too, stay up too late most nights, which contributes to the irregularity of the times I get up. I really need to get to bed at a regular time.

Side sleeper at home (right side).
On my back when I stay at my sisters for some reason.
April 14th, 2009 at 2:34 am
Marlo, if you need more Hugh Laurie, you can queue up the DVD’s of the series Jeeves and Wooster and the later seasons of Blackadder.
I haven’t kept up with House as much these last few seasons, the concept just got too repetitive for me, even if House is a fun ass to watch…..er, that’s not quite what I meant, doh!
Anyway, I always thought it would be great if they would get Stephen Fry as a guest on House some time. That I would definitely tune in for.

I try to sleep on my side, cuddling into my hubby. However, the cat’s don’t like that. They usually crawl up and down my side until I roll over onto my back. One will sleep between my legs, around my calfs, the other likes to sleep on my pelvis. This works for a while, until my legs fall asleep (kitty syndrome) then I have to roll over to my side and the whole process starts over again.

It’s a beautiful looking game. At times, however, I feel like they’ve recycled some story concepts from both Aliens and Halo. Plus, so far, they’ve used two standard SciFi gaming tropes that I don’t like: shooting asteroids to protect the ship, and the unkillable monster.

Inside the police car you tried to explain
Your crisis of conscience, the voice in your brain
And now that the whole thing has gone down the drain
I think we all know who should shoulder the blame
Cause you made a choice there, almost sublime
I’m all for compassion, just not on my dime
You looked like an amateur, and that’s the real crime
So I’ll take a walk now, and you’ll do the time

But, I love that series! I’m subscribing to the comics.
I’m not a very mean fan . . .
April 14th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I just finished a re-read of WOT myself, maybe a month ago.
April 14th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
… Comics?
And as for the last volume being “broken” into thirds, well, I never believed that ANYONE could wrap that story up in one volume without doing a BSG on it and just handwaving most of the story lines. I was guessing two more books to get to Tarmon Gai’don and a final book for the final battle and character wrap-ups.
So this bad news makes me happy. It means, as far as I can tell, that Sanderson is actually doing a good job of finishing up what Jordan started.
(I had to cheat and look up the proper spelling of Tarmon Gai’don.)

April 15th, 2009 at 2:47 am
Man, you guys have been busy yesterday. I have to agree with the sentiment that breaking up the last “book” of WOT into three will be a good thing. the WOT universe has been in constant expansion from its big bang in Eye of the World. Expecting it to fully contract and resolve all those disparate threads in one book (even if it is an 800 page tome) would have been a tall order.
I suppose the danger is too many of the hard core automatically trashing the next book as sucking since Jordan obviously won’t be writing it himself. That could hurt sales of the last two. But, I think most who have been following it this far are going to want to see the end.

Oh, and I asked about sleep position because the night before I bought a new pillow (along with the wife and kids, cause you just can’t buy one, apparently). I had never noticed before that the pillows indicated that some types were better for different type sleepers, so I had to think about myself.

NASA NEW SPACE STATION MODULE NAME HONORS APOLLO 11 ANNIVERSARY
WASHINGTON — The International Space Station module formerly known as Node 3 has a new name. After more than a million online responses, the node will be called “Tranquility.”
April 15th, 2009 at 5:56 am
Good morning, Deadpan!
April 15th, 2009 at 6:00 am
Yes, but at least Colbert it getting a treadmill named after him….
“NASA and Colbert compromised by naming a treadmill used for exercising in space after Colbert. NASA, itself an acronym (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), often names things so they spell out something fun. And that’s what they did with the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT).”

They probably passed on Serenity as part of the compromise to avoid a global nuclear catastrophe between NASA and Colbert. After all, Serenity was effectively a campaign by the Browncoats as much as Colbert’s efforts were. I can see them deciding to choose neither to keep some semblance of peace.
I think I heard that Tranquility was actually the 8th place vote getter.

Jack stood at the bottom of the apartment stairs. Over at the bar Joe had a sort of concave mass of crumpled newspaper sitting at one end of the bar. He took a deep breath in, and blew it out, then set a mug on the bar and gave it a purposeful shove. It slid and spun its way about two-thirds of the length of the surface, but stopped well shot of the newspapers.

I have a workmate/friend who constantly teases my love for my iPod. I used to have a pretty nice stereo setup when I was young and carefree, but my stereo now serves as a homemade surround-sound for the TV only. I don’t think we’ve played a CD in the thing for over a year.
I have some auditory processing issues, which is probably why I can’t hear the difference. I’ll spend my $$ on other things.

Andrea, I’m officially jealous. Yeah, a buddy of mine emailed me a Craigslist posting for a pair of VIP tix for that show complete with backstage, meet-and-greet, etc.
But no way we are swinging a weekend in Chicago plus the tickets themselves this year.

Re: NASA node-naming story: I was really rooting for “Serenity,” but I understand why they went with “Tranquility.” I’m really happy to hear about the compromise with Stephen Colbert, too. :-)
I was going to mention the pictures from No Pants AZ, but ditto and Cj beat me to it.

April 15th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
And now, a random story:
They make some pretty strong coffee at the Literacy Coalition office. I was down there today reading student essays and writing comments on them. I drank some coffee at around 10:15 in the morning and was still feeling buzzed well into mid-afternoon. Then again, the fact that I was racing to finish all the essays by the end of the day probably contributed to the ongoing adrenaline rush. I ended up reading and commenting on 78 essays (okay, some of them were only a sentence or two long) over a period of 6 hours and 45 minutes. After subtracting an estimated 30 minutes of lunch and bathroom breaks, that’s an average of one essay every 4.8077 minutes. Pretty darn fast, and it felt insanely fast for much of the time I was doing it.

G’nite everyone.
BTW – this was my first experience of a >1000 messages on Deadpan.
I no longer consider myself a newbie :)
April 15th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Still at work. There will be Unshow tonight!
April 15th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Congratulations, Cj. :-)
I’ve been at work on Questors #5 for the last hour or so. Yay for Spring Break! I think I’ll go to bed in a little while, too.
April 15th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Okay, I’m calling it a night. Good night, Pan.
April 15th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
“Hugh sez: we need to shuffle past this fucking Do-Re-Me song!!!”
I literally LOL’ed.
April 15th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Wow! There was a lot more of the 80s & 90s punk than I expected!
And that is where the answer to TSHs question about Qs is found… The Queers.

Did you see tonight’s shirt.woot.com yet? I think I like it, but I’m not sure. It is a lot busier than I normally care for.
April 15th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Morning Pan, you goto sleep for a few hours and miss all the fun, another grey day.
April 15th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Morning, Van. Told you I’d be here :)
NS – I think it’s a pretty cool shirt! The colors are pretty bright tho! Kinda 80’s..

Let the F5 battle begin…
April 15th, 2009 at 10:45 pm
OK. A little while to go before we Un. Not too too long though.
April 15th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Un un un un un un un un un un un un
Well, it was funnier in my head.
April 15th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
CJ – I “woke up” or “sprang fully formed into the world” in 1991, so quite a lot of the 80s are … curious, rather than nostalgic.

or am I un-mashing?

Try CTRL-SHIFT-R for a quick change of pace.
April 15th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Or Ctrl-Alt-Delete to ‘lose’
April 15th, 2009 at 11:58 pm
I like ALT-F4 too… it gives me closure.

Unshow posted. I’m off.

So if >1000 comments makes one not a newbie, does that mean I broke my virginity and in that same thread I became a wise sage?
