Well no good ??ing NS, you’re the one listening to that podcast.
The people speaking at the “Tea Party” seemed to enjoy yelling about socialists and communists and such.
Which is not exactly a good way to get -me- to agree with them, but it seemed that the audience appreciated it.
And then there were numbers and facts being strewn about … I don’t know anything about what they were discussing, but my instincts are yelling that it is not only nonsense and lies but contradictory as well.
I have this sick-fascination / disgust with this politic nonsense. And I think that is what I’m ???’ing most.
And ScottyJ says JustaJoe is Highlander, he can never die. But that is Cj’s LLAP, not Dani’s TS.
!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Amy.
And yes, there can be only one JustaJ0e.
I was a bit worried that SM meant something else and Amy was showing a dark side.
cough
Van – I think I have figured out why you like #34…
It is fast paced moving from segment to segment quickly. Jack Jaffee’s Muppet pieces are hilarious.
And I do not speak in that episode…
Proof of my face for radio and a voice for print…
;)
Not true Wolf, you speak at the beginning when it sounds like your son is asking what the episode is this week.
LOL – true. That is my son…
ditto: I am a fan of Top Chef. I don’t know why, but I love Padma. And cooking.
Morning, Deadpan!
justa JOe is the frakin’ way. There can be only one.
I really dislike most “reality” shows. Many of them don’t deal with reality at all and are engineered to cater to the train-wreck crowd. I like Top Chef because it really is all about the cooking. There is little that can be faked on that show. And, my wife recently exposed me to Biggest Loser. There are some dumb game components to the show, but overall it is very inspiring and educational.
Other than that, I don’t know what I’ll be watching on TV anymore. Almost all my shows are gone. I guess I’ll do more reading. :)
CP: Hey Joe (Joe Bully) — Beatnik Turtle
Yep, it’s a total coincidence that I’m playing that song.
EssBee: I love Padma, though I’m disappointed about the Hardee’s commercial. They must have paid her a lot for that!
I read an interview she did not long ago where they asked her what is her favorite thing about herself. She said the scar on her arm.
I haven’t seen the Hardee’s commercial – what’d she do? I DID see that she recently posed nude for some magazine (W?).
The scar on her arm is my favorite thing about her too. I have a big scar on my left forearm that makes for great stories when people pretend not to see it/can’t take their eyes away.
Sly B picked me up a magazine yesterday because the Grateful Dead were featured on the cover. I can’t remember the name of the mag. It had a free Various Artists CD attached, and I am listening to it now. It’s called. Uncut: White Winter Hymns, and features artists such as Fleet Foxes, Lift To Experience, and The Kissaway Trail. It’s basically really fun hippie music. It’s turning out to be a nice way to start the day.
EssBee: Here’s the commercial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8nJKa13sBo
Sex sells, but I object to using sex to sell (most) products.
Wow, that commercial kinda grossed me out.
Maybe it’s the mom in me – I just saw germs everywhere!
Oh… I also have a scar on my left arm just above my wrist – it’s almost undetectable, but also an interesting story to share if/when someone asks.
I would like to forget ever seeing that commercial. Damn you, ditto!
I have lots of scars. I guess I’ve just lived an interesting life. :)
Now I’ll have to avoid getting some new ones after sharing that video. ;)
Imagine the director for that commercial:
“Can you hold the hamburger further away from your face, yet still lick it?”
Oooh go on Cj and tell the story of the scar.
I’ve one on my foot. I have no memory and what caused this, but was told later that I had grabbed the hot poker for the coke fire as a bairn and pulled it onto my foot.
It’s not an exciting story – just interesting to me.
I’d rather hear about EssBee’s scar story!
But.. I’ll share too…
Yes, come on Essbee spill your guts about the scar.
Well that killed the conversation.
I married my first husband in 1993 in Arizona even though we lived in California at the time. Whenever we traveled, we brought our cats with us so, of course, my cats were at the wedding.
I was standing outside in my parents’ backyard after the wedding, but before we left for our hotel and I was holding my black cat, Dinky, in my arms. My dad decided at that very moment to celebrate the marriage by setting off a series of firecrackers – - – which scared my cat, but I couldn’t let go of her because we were out in the boonies/desert and I didn’t want her to run off and be eaten by a snake or something…
She left a big gash in my arm which is now barely detectable, but she died April 9th of last year so I’m perfectly happy to have the reminder of my first “baby” etched into my arm.
I actually can’t believe she’s already been gone for a year. Sometimes I swear I still see her out of the corner of my eye. We had a good 16 years together.

Ok, here’s mine (and I’m totally off task today because I’m following the Zapata trial on Twitter. The trial just opened, and closing arguments are about to begin):
I was playing with my brother when we were kids – I was maybe 12 or 13, he is 2 years younger. He went all Lord of the Rings on me, and wielded his sword, which was actually a piece of wood with a huge rusty nail sticking out of it. He tore my arm open from the inside of my elbow around to the tip of my index finger. It’s kind of a curvy scar, most noticeable on the top of my forearm and the back of my hand. There’s also a nice slice on the index finger right under the nail.
He was always a little shit. He’s an oncologist now. Still a shit, as I have recounted here in the past.
I have several other scars as well, but this is the one they could use to identify my body when talking to my loved ones. “Any tattoos or defining marks?” Yep, she had a big-ass scar on her left arm.
All we need now is a big fooking shark.

it’s not strange, no mystery
you and I are history
I put up my protective wall
it’s 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall
10 feet tall and 4 feet thick
granite, concrete, steel and brick
protection for you, understand
the little boy, the inner man
boys kissed the girls
then made them cry
that’s a man’s job, that is why
when you cry, you’re just a clone
of every woman I have known
and every Harry, Dick and Tom
gets all of this shit from his mom
who was unhappy, mom was sad
because of a wall that dad had
once its up it wont come down
and mom’s a queen and dad’s a clown
it’s not strange, no mystery
that you and I are history
it’s 4 feet thick and 10 feet tall

I’ve been taking lunchhour walks for the past 6 workdays. Today, I’m waiting for the temp to creep north of 50ºF. Apparently tomorrow they expect a high of 83ºF, then back down for Friday and the remainder of the 10-day…
What 2 days Wolf? I’d love to have a wolf at my birthday party!

Going way back on this conversation – - I was able to watch a live Iron Chef type of thing this past weekend. It was amazing just how calm and relaxed the chefs and their assistants were the entire time. Nothing like what you see on “reality” TV.
Conference call hell.
Also, the jury has the case in the Zapata murder trial.
No scars Jack?
Conference call hell here too.
Bring Marshmellows next time…
I hear they roast well.
I am the marshmallow. Burnt to a crisp. :(

I’m not wearing underpants on my head though.
Conference call now at one hour, twelve minutes.
EssBee ask them if they would mind if you ordered pizza.
If Vanamonde won’t, then maybe the conference call participants should wear their underwear on their heads.
Jack, there was an interesting blog post from our own local Andrew Zimmern (“Bizzare Foods”) about “Hell’s Kitchen.”

You know I would like Heroes to end with Hiro grabbing Sylar and transporting him to the far future, when time restarts for Sylar, he’s in a desert with a big bloated Sun in the sky…
Scary thought of the day: Hiro & Sylar slash fiction.
Allen Andrade is guilty of 1st Degree Murder and a Hate Crime.
“Hiro grabbing Sylar”
When the Wolf is in town, even if not during my festivities, we should at least have a Jack collective!
One can never have too many Jacks.
You can, however, have entirely too many underpants on your head if you aren’t careful.
I like the way “I am the marshmallow” feels when I say it.
I am the marshmallow.
Then again, I like mushrooms for basically the same reason.
I once rented a white Ford Probe and it felt like I was driving a marshmallow. Don’t know why – I just remember feeling that way.

Andrade is now being sentenced. The victim’s mother is addressing the court.
CJ – Yeah we could do that whole you will be assimulated thing… We are Jack of Borg you will be satarized…
I do not have video game skill…
You can’t get much simpler than Space Invaders..left, right, shoot!
I lose at that one as well… I have no coordination

T’was the eve before Deadpan…
Oh wait we did that already…
So… if Trucker Overdrive showed up too… would that make the mother, maiden, crone of Jacks?
I want All Jack TV – All the Time – swooooon
I have always wanted to be the maiden…
I don’t have the bust for it.
We could bronze you?
Goodnight Mush. I will see you all briefly tomorrow. Then a weekend of fun and partying — right… believe that.
Dream sweet, Maiden Wolfy.
Fun? Backups and beating my computers qualifies as fun? OK. I guess it does when I’m drinking ice wine.
*hic*
My proof copy of my ’07 novel is on its way to me now! :-D
Night, Pan. Tomorrow will be a very long day. 10 hours of work followed by a conference call. Yay. I am looking forward to the conference call, though – it’s a career development seminar specifically designed for AmeriCorps Members.
Congrats, Amy!!!!
ditto, “If a problem comes along, you must whip it.”
Amy, rock on, girl.
Tomorrow is a very exciting day for me as well. Maybe I already said this, so if I did forgive me. I wrote my master’s thesis on a book by a pretty controversial performance artist named Holly Hughes. She was part of the NEA 4 back in the 80s. I think she’s completely brilliant, even if she is a bit edgy.
She will be in Denver tomorrow performing a new piece. Tomorrow is also Sly B’s mom’s (my mother-out-law) birthday, and she is with us to celebrate. So, we are going for an early dinner of all-you-can-eat Sushi, followed by Holly’s performance. w00t!
Here’s a link to her book, in case you all want a good giggle:

Thanks! :-)
I had the greatest idea when I was driving today. I was listening to WNDR Radio’s interview with Rob Paterson from Kung Fu Action Theatre, and they were discussing how voice acting for audio dramas is better if the actors are actually in the same room together. So I thought: During the informal ManganCon we were talking about earlier, we should totally record a Questors episode live at either the Draco Vista or LLAP studios. Even if I have reached the end of the story and finished all the episodes before then, it would still be fun to do a live version. :-) Just a thought.
BTW, I can eat A LOT of Sushi. In case anyone was wondering.
Brain = funk.
I should really talk to the Discworld Con people, huh…….
Well, it’s been a really emotionally draining day. I am off to find some aspirin and my pillow. I think I have a good book waiting.
Hugs to everyone out there. Thanks for being who you each are.
I can eat lots ‘o sushi too. :)
And once again the sun sets on a week of deadpan.
Good night, John Boy….
Night, Ed.
Amy – Way to go, Girl!
EssBee – Very exciting. Have a great time!
G’nite boys and girls who are heading off to bed.
Sushi is win! (dammit. Someone take me out for sushi. My silly husband doesn’t like it!)
LLAP Studios will always be available to the Pan.
Uhm uhm uhm…. I have to work now.
I’ll be up late.
I’m going to drink some Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi and use a Red Vine as a straw.
I’m the slowest Easter candy eater of all time. My hubby goes nutz wanting to eat my candy which just sits there uneaten… tempting him.
EssBee I just read about the verdict on that Zapata case
It is about time all hate crimes are treated the same. That girl was a person with a family just like anyone else. The horrible things he said about her.. ugh. Hate is so ugly.
in happier news, Hugh is quite excited watching the Blackhawks vs Calgary right now
:)
I am hiding from it :)
l8r pan
hope everyone is good
sorry I am going back to the bad story for a second.. at what point can you justify in your mind that this person, this human being in front of you is less that you, is less human than you in some way, that they are beneath you? That killing them isn’t killing because somehow this person isn’t a human being like you.. what the fuck is that? what causes that?
so disturbing
ok thats all I have to say about that. I just needed to vent on that
I need to leave with a happy comment now
errrr….
Happy Earth Day!
I tried :)
Happy Earth Day to you too.
