    Amazing 42-second film: http://vimeo.com/4155700

    Goodnight, mush.

  3. ditto Says:

    3rd! :)

  4. Ed from Texas Says:

    “Flash Gordon appeals to me because I would like to be familiar with the stories that inspired George Lucas.”

    Is that how we explain the prequels? :)

  5. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan.

    Board is back up. Yeah!

  6. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I hated PeeWee’s playhouse.

  7. EssBee Says:

    Good morning, Deadpan!

    Today is the last day of my short workweek! Hurrah!

    I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Great episode, Jack. Great story, JB and Amy, and wonderful content everyone!

  8. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I could never get into Pilates. I prefer weights and aerobics.

    (obviously I’m listening to LLAP :) )

  9. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    You’re pretty limber, Cj. Would Dan agree? ;)

  10. Amy Bowen Says:

    Ed: :-D Not exactly what I meant, of course. He’s been inspired by them from the (real-world-time) beginning, or so I heard.

    EssBee: Thank you so much! :-)

  12. Amy Bowen Says:

    I’m on the ball with show notes today. Trackback link from my WP blog should be showing up any minute now.

  13. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cj’s a bucket?

  14. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I always want to take a comb to Twilight guys hair whenever I see him.

  15. WNDRWolf Says:

    That might be difficult with the werewolf…

  16. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m actually listening to the Start Trek audio book. Explains a few things missing from the book.

  17. Cj Says:

    Good morning, Pan.

    Nothing like hearing myself drunk first thing in the morning. :D Makes me want to run out and get schnockered right now.

    Not gonna do it though. Taking my kids to tour a fire station instead.

    TEB – My limberness often surprises me.

    Wonder Twin Power. Activate.

  18. Cj Says:

    When I first heard of Sherilyn Fenn it gave me hope that I wasn’t a complete freak because I’d never met another person in the world with the name “Cherylyn”

  19. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I can relate to that, Cj :)

  20. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    CD: DP shownotes for FB… why did I volunteer for this?

  21. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’d play Jack, but I’m at MA on Thursday evenings until eight.

  22. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Notes are done. Anybody who has suggested changes let me know (except for Cj. She’s admin so can make her own changes :) )

  23. Cj Says:

    The word of the day is “delicious”.

    This episode of Deadpan is delicious.

  24. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Off to take kitty to the vet. She’s going to love me :)

  25. WNDRWolf Says:

    TWotD – The Ladies of the Deadpan is Delicious…

  26. Vanamonde Says:

    TWotD is rather unfortunate though WOLF.

  27. Vanamonde Says:

    TEB and Cj you are right TWotD’s.

    cough

  28. WNDRWolf Says:

    Alright Van The Word of the Day…

  29. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    And we’re back, at least temporarily for me :)

    Looked as some of the notes for a palooza. LJ, while would agree Head would be an interesting palooza, it is a very… trippy movie and I’m not sure how the Pan at large would react to it.

  30. Vanamonde Says:

    zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz for me.

  31. WNDRWolf Says:

    Remember you are unique just liek everyone else.

  32. Vanamonde Says:

    My goodness that badass app has some rather fruity language.

  33. ditto Says:

    blurble

  34. ditto Says:

    CP: President of What — Death Cab For Cutie

  35. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ok. looking back at some of my comments you can tell I’m drugged out of my gourd.

    Jack, since you record on Wednesdays I realize my being gone Thursday evenings really doesn’t matter. You can put me down for your recordings.

  36. Vanamonde Says:

    High on cheese?

  37. jackmangan Says:

    Thanks Bunny. :) What was that thing about show notes in FB?

  38. Vanamonde Says:

    Since I’m usually around Thursday morning my time/ Wednesday evening DP time, you can put me on the recording list Jack.

  39. Vanamonde Says:

    I can answer for TEB. On Facebook there is a Fans of Jack Mangan’s Deadpan group (setup by TEB?) . TEB has posted the show notes for this weeks DP episode.

  40. Vanamonde Says:

    Ah yes it was created by TEB..damn my swiss cheese of a memory.

  43. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Jack, I sent them to you. they were just done on notepad

  44. Cj Says:

    I sent e-mail to Jack as well with a screen shot of the notes earlier as well. He’s going to be inundated with the same thing! :D At least we are thorough!

  45. Vanamonde Says:

    I’m reminded of that bit in Salmon of Doubt, where Douglas Adams list all the ways he can be contacted.

  46. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just bought, and then hooked up anew Blu-Ray player.

    My husband is going to kill me.

  47. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    On the upside, we’ll be able to watch a movie tonight (I got Valkyrie) since I can’t do MA tonight.

  48. Vanamonde Says:

    Well this maybe the point where your MA training comes in handy!

    Standalone or PS3?

  49. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I looked at that “which badass character are you” on FB. I saw the first question and decided it wasn’t for me so didn’t answer any of them

  50. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Stand alone, Van. I thought about a PS3 but they were too expensive ($500 vs $200 for a blu-ray). We wouldn’t play the games as I tend to lean heavily towards PC games, and hubby usually just plays chess (although he did dig out his old version of Doom because we got the board game)

  51. Vanamonde Says:

    I am a pavlov dog, woof!

  52. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    hmmm, I wonder if I can hide all the boxes so he won’t notice the DVD player is new?

  53. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I don’t get the reference, Van. What are you pavlovian to?

  54. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh a lot of stuff on FB TEB..especially lollipops!

  55. Vanamonde Says:

    Ok TEB I’m curious, I was rather underwhelmed by BluRay, but I only have a 32inch LCD TV, why did you the BR route rather than a new upscaling DVD player?

  56. Vanamonde Says:

    +go

  57. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I can’t speak for Britian, Van but here it’s actually getting harder and harder to find normal DVD movies. A number of stores are slowly fazing out regular DVD’s.

    It was actually difficult to do Blu-Ray. We have a 50″ TV but it is an older one so is only 480p/1080i H, not the new fancy, smancy 1080p. We have our (CDN version of)PVR hooked up to one of the HD inputs, the other input on the TV is DVI, which is compatible to nothing. I had to go to The Source (they bought out Radio Shack here in Canada) and get a HDMI to DVI converter.

  58. Vanamonde Says:

    Well I enjoyed Valkyrie when I saw it at the cinema.

  59. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Can’t speak to the movie (yet), we wanted it for all the extras on the real history the movie is based on.

  60. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I know this is fake but it still looks kind of cool

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o

    I’d see it.

  61. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Burger King commercials are getting weirder and weirder

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm6d2oy8GRk

  62. jackmangan Says:

    Thanks for the FB update :) Now, I’m ashamed of my lazy show notes….

  64. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Don’t be ashamed, Jack. That’s what slaves, er, I mean, delegating is for :)

  65. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, 3:00 time to take more meds and then veg out on the couch.

  66. jackmangan Says:

    [Inappropriate response goes here]

    Well thank you for creating the show notes, Bunny. :) I might just steal those.

  67. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    steal away, Jack

  68. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I have no feeling in my right arm….

    Oh look, a frost warning for tonight. What happened to spring?

  69. Vanamonde Says:

    It’s having a holiday.

  70. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Yeah, some place warm

  71. jackmangan Says:

    Did you sleep on your right arm, Bunny?

  72. Ed from Texas Says:

    It’s apparently gone south….

  73. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    No jack. I’ve got a viral infection on my hand (hence the drugs) and it seems to follow a nerve either giving me shooting pain up my arm or making it numb. I consider myself lucky, I’m numb right now.

  74. JohnBoze Says:

    CJ, if this episode was delicious you didn’t listen too close to my tale…

  75. Vanamonde Says:

    CP: Linger – The Cranberries

  76. Vanamonde Says:

    CP:Dreams – The Cranberries

  77. Cj Says:

    JB, I listened first thing in the morning. I always have to listen to each show at least twice, sometimes more.

    Once to hear what’s there then again to catch what I missed.

    Three times if I just need more of Jack’s sexy voice! *swooon*

  78. Cj Says:

    Oh, and I just had to go walking outside today. It’s amazingly beautifully overcast with a nice cool breeze. Quite enjoyable!

    Ah well, another exploration of Spotify is over, night Pan.

    Almost June, everyday it’s a getting faster…

  87. imag1narynumber Says:

    For the ‘palooza, I vote for anything other than Lost Highway.

  88. imag1narynumber Says:

    I’ve never done Pilates, but I used to do a wee bit of yoga a couple of times a week. Very relaxing and enjoyable after working out and training very hard in martial arts. Worth the time overall, IMO.

  89. Cj Says:

    I need to add some yoga to my routine. Thanks for the reminder. Looking for free videos. right. now.

  90. justa J0e Says:

    Up where the smoke is
    All billered and curled
    ‘Tween pavement and stars
    Is the chimney sweep world

    When the’s ‘ardly no day
    Nor ‘ardly no night
    There’s things ‘alf in shadow
    And ‘alf way in light
    On the roof tops of London
    Coo, what a sight!

  91. justa J0e Says:

    maybe I should have phoned that in

  94. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Yes they call him the stream

    Ok, now back to the movie

  95. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Sorry, stream = streak

  96. justa J0e Says:

    :)
    I like the “Stream” better.

    Can’t decide if that means he is an Ace on live Internet broadcasts or if it’s a “bladder control” thing.

  97. jackmangan Says:

    As long as he isn’t a Ghostbuster.

  98. Ed from Texas Says:

    Well, I’m glad to know that I hadn’t just been mishearing that song all these years.

    Yes, Joe, you should call that in.

  99. Amy Bowen Says:

    Here in Florida, the approach of summer is heralded by tropical thunderstorms.

    I agree with Ed. Stolen lyrics = good.

  100. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Movie was pretty good. Now watching hubby play with the features of the new machine.

  101. EssBee Says:

    Evening, Pan!

    My 4-day vacation is officially on. w00t!

    CW: last night’s Colbert Report

  102. EssBee Says:

    Van is a GOD-DAMN ROBOT

  103. Cj Says:

    My daughter = the cuteness

    CP : “I Wonder” – Tony Bennet & K.D. Lang

  105. justa J0e Says:

    * quickly checking “back-posts” to make sure Van has never used the word “EXTERMINATE” *

  106. jackmangan Says:

    I don’t think Van is a Dalek. . . . For one thing, he can go up and down stairs.

  107. Vanamonde Says:

    Morning Pan, if you are going to phone those lyrics in JJ I hope your cockney accent is at least as good as Dick Van Dyke’s.

    cough

  108. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and it pains me to point this out…really it does..but the Dalek’s aren’t robots..as they are just the life support machinery for the mutants inside.

    I’ll get my coat.

  109. Vanamonde Says:

    If you have any fondness for the Tom Baker Era of Doctor Who, Robots of Death is well worth a rental if you can get it in North America.

  110. Ed from Texas Says:

    Never be ashamed of truth, Van.

    Now, Terminators! Those are definitely robots. Maybe Van is one of them from the future :)

  111. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan.

    Tell me why… I get up and weigh myself, then I have a shower and weigh myself again. Why am I always a half pound less after the shower? I find it hard to believe I had a half pound of dirt that needs to be washed away every morning.

    Terminators are more cyborg than robot Ed.

  112. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Morning Pan!

    It seems that yesterday when I was busy, DP dropped…. figures. Now I’m behind again.

    TEB: Do you do “anything” in the shower that might reduce your volume of bodily fluids and thus reduce your weight?

    Vanamonde: Doctor Who: The Robots of Death is available as a watch instantly from Netflix. And, yes, worth it. I like Leela.

  113. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Just my luck that the Comment Nazis don’t like it when you change your name… Must remember that.

    Morning again Pan

  114. Vanamonde Says:

    Meetings I have missed:

    The one where it was decided that women having long fingernails is attractive.

  115. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Actually, would those then be Nipple Nazis? There’s something strangely appealing and frightening about that term…

  116. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning LJ

  117. Amy Bowen Says:

    The post with your new name just goes into the moderation queue.

    Morning, Pan. Sitting down to do finances. Ugh.

  118. Vanamonde Says:

    Yes today I opened a savings account (rather than a current account).

    Expect the apocalpyse any day soon.

  119. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Wow, Van. What are you saving for?

  120. Vanamonde Says:

    Well I’m sure I had a good reason at the time.

  121. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    *teary eyed*, My Van, all growed up with his saving account and all. *pats Vanamond on the head*

    :LOL:

  122. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, I hear a grocery store calling me :)

  123. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Sorry Van, I seemed to have lost your e

  124. Vanamonde Says:

    Well it’s. An account more associated with old fogeys.

  125. EssBee Says:

    Morning, Deadpan!

    I slept in until 8 this morning, which I NEVER do!

    Today’s list:

    weatherize patio cover
    plant garden
    clean bbq grill

    TEB, I don’t even own a scale. I could not stand the pressure of it looking at me.

  126. EssBee Says:

    On Memorial Day weekend, Sly B & I usually binge-watch, or start, a TV Season on DVD. This year’s selection: Season 1 of the “new” (I guess that’s how you say it?) Dr. Who. We’re excited. We have the first 2 DVDs. If we like it, we’ll have to go find more discs at a local DVD shop, if those even exist.

    When we did this several years ago with Buffy, we ended up buying the entire series. Same with Veronica Mars.

    Ok, off to grab breakfast and coffee and get to work. Back later!

  127. imag1narynumber Says:

    As I understand it, actually the Terminators are androids. Cyborgs require flesh to operate. They’re more of a modified human (usually)

    TEB: My only guess is water loss due to sweat, something like that. Also scales are far from perfect and have a margin of error. Perhaps that plays a part.

  128. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Amy Bowen: Yeah, I know about the moderation. It never occurred to me that WP took note of the name, I figured it based things solely off of the email address. Wow, that just proves that I’m thick… Or possibly WP likes being Nipple Nazis.

    It’s Memorial day weekend, and naturally my wife and I work.

    Of course, there’s the obligatory party, which we can’t attend…

  129. Vanamonde Says:

    Human brain in cybernetically enhanced body = Cyborg

    Computer Brain in human looking body = Android

    Computer brain in mechanical body = Robot

    That was your Deadpan Scifi trivia for this week.

  130. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, the grocery store was full of foodstuff. Which was good.

    # I can see the sweat thing. My husband hates going into the bathroom after I have a shower as I don’t turn on the cold water at all.

    Now… pinwheel cookies to make.

  131. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and Terminators are mechanical bodies covered in human flesh..so still androids.

    Oh and BIG, BIG peeve, Marge Piercy in Body Of Glass calling an Android a Cyborg..how I hate non genre authors writing scifi and fooking around with the terminology.

    Now to take a deep breath…

  132. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Dead Human Brain in Living Human Body = Vegetable

    Dead Human Brain in Animated Dead Human Body = Zombie

    Re-animated Dead Human Brain in Re-animated Dead Human Body = Frankenstein’s Monster

    Was this important, I can’t remember why I started this?

  133. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Vanamonde: Terminator 2: Judgment Day has the t-101 specifically calling itself a Cybernetic-Organism – living tissue over metal endo-skeleton. I think it technically is a Cyborg, even though the brain is computer: HOWEVER, from the original Terminator movie, we do know that Skynet did create androids using rubber skin – Human looking, but no living tissue…

    And, now I know we’re geeks….

  134. Vanamonde Says:

    Just remember to hum the six million dollar man tune and move very s-l-o-w-l-y.

  135. Vanamonde Says:

    So local arty farty cinema has a day of old movies chosen by people tomorrow. The Princess Bride is on..I’m tempted since I never saw it at the cinema.

  136. imag1narynumber Says:

    The thing that kills me about the Terminators . . . hugely high-tech killing monsters. Technology that we won’t reach for decades, maybe centuries. No infrared scanners. Woulda made the first movie very brief.

  137. imag1narynumber Says:

    I really like The Princess Bride, that’s my ha-pence.

  138. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “As you wish”

    - or, translated to Cylon – “by your command”

  139. Vanamonde Says:

    plotunium…it works everytime.

  140. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My lunch date cancelled. Now what am I going to do?

  141. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, going for a walk. Then I guess it’s hot dogs for me.

  142. Vanamonde Says:

    I mean imagine how short Star Wars would be if the Stormtroopers could shoot straight.

  143. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Vanamonde: Hey, Obi Wan said that Imperial Troopers were precise. Of course, that may only apply to large slow-moving vehicles moving on sand dunes on back-end planets controlled by the Hutts… Then again, “precise” doesn’t necessarily mean “straight”

  144. Vanamonde Says:

    My goodness, I was thinking someone was going to bring that up.

    I will try to use my psychic powers for good and predict what the next palooza will be.

    I just won’t say anything till after it’s already been announced.

  145. imag1narynumber Says:

    Don’t lasers by definition shoot straight?

    I recall reading a book, Samurai Cat or something like that. This particular story was parodying Star Wars. The Rebels put barn walls at the end of every corridor, since the Stormtroopers couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

  146. Vanamonde Says:

    Precisely inaccurate has a nice ring to it.

  147. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    I seem to remember a trooper being remarkably accurate using “Stun”… when pointing at a rather attractive derriere…

  148. imag1narynumber Says:

    Vanamonde: *nods rapidly*

    Lejon: And to think, that was the only time it was used. Must’ve been that ‘Trooper’s “power move” a la Street Fighter.

  149. Cj Says:

    I’ve never seen Princess Bride in its entirety. I should do something about that.

  150. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Cj: Princess Bride is much with the awesome. I also recommend the book by the same name, but don’t try to look for it under S. Morgenstern.

  151. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    You know spring is here when they turn on the fountain at the local park.

    I personally found the book of The Princess Bride bizarre. The overweight kid and the psychologist mom. What was that about?

  152. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My dilemma.

    I made cookies.
    I created dirty dishes.
    Because of my hand, I can’t wash said dishes.
    Now I feel guilty because hubby is going to have to do dishes when he comes home from work.

    Should I feel guilty? Is cookies a fair trade for having to do dishes? Especially considering I bake cookies every Friday so is not really a “treat”.

  153. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Zune received from \/\/007, Charged up and ready to use. Lunch begins: Testing Commences.

  154. jackmangan Says:

    I’m woefully behind on my email – and today’s comments. To all who are due responses:

    Yes, OK, cool!, right, yeah, you should, sorry about that, zebras in scuba gear, Yes, I hope so, and his full name was Meriadoc.

  155. Cj Says:

    TEB: I’d happily wash your dishes and yes, I think cookies, treat or not, are a totally fair exchange.

  156. jackmangan Says:

    I predict that Mr. Bunny will crack a joke about being forced to wash dishes, but will gladly do the chore.

  157. imag1narynumber Says:

    +1 Cj’s thoughts on whoring oneself out for cookies. :-)

  158. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think I still feel a little guilty. I haven’t been able to do any of my normal housework this week so hubby has been taking up the slack. Really what I did was create more work for him.

  159. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    A couple of my friends just got engaged last night. I suspect fear of commitment.

    It’s the only explanation, really. They’ve been together for a little over four years, been living together most of the time. Have a cute three-year-old kid.

    Fear of commitment, pure and simple.

  160. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Oh, and I found out about the engagement through Twitter.

    Can’t even commit to coming out and telling their close friends… Fear…it kills…

  161. Vanamonde Says:

    I’ve known people to get married for legal reasons.

  162. Vanamonde Says:

    Mainly to do with sharing out assets to the kids on something nasty happening to the parents.

  163. imag1narynumber Says:

    TEB: I can only speak for myself. I’m honored to be with my woman and I understand that one of us may slack off here and there. We’re human and schedules and stresses change. We do our best to cover for each other. But it’s a great partner that realizes what’s going on and appreciates what the other is doing. So GO YOU!

    Lejon: I’m overtired, so maybe that’ it. What are they afraid of?

  164. Vanamonde Says:

    Predator is playing on the TV, one of the better Arnie movies in my view.

  165. Vanamonde Says:

    The Mad magazine piss take on that film was good for a laugh as well.

  166. LostRalph Says:

    TEB: RE: The Princess Bride book, my understanding of that part was a sort of autobiography as to the origin of the story, and could very easily be skipped over. In fact it should probably be skipped over on principle unless you’re fascinated by any behind the scenes facts.

  167. EssBee Says:

    Evening!

    Garden – accomplished! Lots of weeds went down today too. We didn’t weather-proof because it’s supposed to rain. There’s always tomorrow!

    Off to grill!

  168. Ed from Texas Says:

    Ow, I ache.

    Heavy yard work – done.
    Trees trimmed – done
    Vehicles cleaned inside and out and waxed – done
    Laundry – done
    Housecleaning to prepare for guests this weekend – done

    And I didn’t even get through everything on my list. But, the old body has declared that I am done for today, so I guess I should listen.

  169. Ed from Texas Says:

    I wouldn’t object to Princess Bride as a Palooza choice.

    Drive-by:

    Yesterday (or the day before) I was listening to Buzz Out Loud and that Three Wolves Moon T-Shirt came up. Seems that it a best selling clothing article. Apparently it got a load of amusing reviews out of the blue and people are buying the shirt like crazy now.

    The company that makes the shirt put out a statement that essentially said, “But, but, we don’t think it’s funny!?”

  174. Amy Bowen Says:

    Creative tasks completed tonight:

    Color artwork for “Commit Yourself to the Brink” art challenge
    Write patient profile to go with said artwork
    Upload both of the above

    I feel accomplished. :-)

  175. Amy Bowen Says:

    Finally decided to call it a night. Good night, Pan.

    Ah, the weekend.

    Nomad, I also heard that report about the shirt sale on Amazon. While the reviews were certainly humorous, I don’t understand what causes that to turn into a sales run……unless people believe the shirt has powers?

    weird.

    Those FARKers are at it again…

  181. EssBee Says:

    Ah, the weekend, indeed! On my list today: more weeds in need of pulling; weatherize that darn patio cover – forecast be damned; and scrub the innards of the bbq grill.

  182. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan! It’s 7:30 am, on a Saturday. Do you know where your bed is?

  183. imag1narynumber Says:

    It’s only a bit after 9:30 am here and I already worked out, ran, and relaxed for half an hour. Dunno if I’m going to be able to get any yardwork done. It’s supposed to rain all weekend. Perhaps Monday.

  184. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ah yes, can’t go without the old tradition of rain on long weekends :)

  185. Amy Bowen Says:

    It’s POURING here in South Florida, complete with thunder and lightning. We’ve had two brownouts here this morning, the last one of which interrupted my wireless router. I just went downstairs, unplugged its power cable and plugged it in again, and now it seems to be working again.

  186. Vanamonde Says:

    the poledancing snow White is a bit disturbing.

    Off to see the Princess Bride..

  187. Ed from Texas Says:

    Hmm, weather is predicting 60% chance for our area today. But, as big an area as Houston-Galvetson covers, we can easily get 6″ of rain an hour north of us, and nothing where we are.

    Glad I got the yardwork done yesterday!

  188. JohnBoze Says:

    Finally saw Star Trek yesterday. Fun movie, agree with those who say that, aside from marketing purposes, it didn’t really need to be called “Star Trek.”

    Today is the celebration of my birthday with my parents.

  189. Amy Bowen Says:

    Still raining, but rain has slackened. I think I will go out for shopping, coffee, and maybe audio editing or other stuff after I finish doing finances.

  190. Cj Says:

    My mom and I are moving my Gram into a new more private home this weekend. I’m just waiting for mom to get into town right now. I’m thankful for the cool, rainy, weather. Moving in the summer sun is never fun.

  191. Cj Says:

    I’m also debating that 3rd cup of coffee. Do I want it or don’t I? Although, I was home early last night, I stayed up entirely too late reading, so I’m more tired than I wanted to be today.

  192. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

  198. EssBee Says:

    Mmmm, Panera.

    Our patio cover is like-new; our weeds are all pulled, and the bbq grill is clean.

  199. Amy Bowen Says:

    There. That’s all I can do on Questors #6 with the lines I have and without re-recording. Very productive day. :-)

    I have a HUGE grin on my face right now. I won’t tell you why. It’ll mean more if you go and find out for yourselves. Go check out Nathan Lowell’s Twitter feed, especially the pictures he posted, and you’ll understand. :-D

  223. Vanamonde Says:

    Morning Pan, last day of my long weekend, off to wander round that reopened museum. Wallowing in nostalgia among a collection of stuffed animals.

    Now for an obscure comic reference:

    I won’t be doing a quirkafleeg.

  224. Nomad Scry Says:

    An actual weekend is so very nice. I finally got out to see Wolvie. Even with lowered expectations, I was disappointed.

    Following Balticon on Twitter was more interesting.

    Thanks for linking to the Krakenthief pictures, Amy.

  231. EssBee Says:

    Morning, Deadpan!

    We had a wonderful bbq yesterday, despite the rain, with Sly B’s brother, his wife, and their great girls (4 and 7). My ribs turned out great, and I grilled corn as well.

    Today we plan to finish disc 2 of Dr. Who, Season 1. I don’t love the show, but have always liked Billie Piper. I also have the entire season so far of Rescue Me on the DVR — we might move to that as we do laundry.

    Sorry you had to work, Jack!

    jOe, did you see Trek?

    Have a great day, y’all.

  232. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Have a good day at work, EssBee

  233. Vanamonde Says:

    Something seriously wrong with a system that bans Mort for goodness sake…anthromorphication of DEATH is nothing to be frightened of.

  234. EssBee Says:

    No work today for me, TEB, hooray!

  235. Cj Says:

    Banned Books – I’ll never understand why people want to discourage kids from reading. OK, I’ll probably put The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty up on a high shelf until my daughter is at least 18, but I read Hitchhiker’s Guide for the first time when I was 12-years-old (after seeing an interview with Douglas Adams on Letterman) and I don’t think it warped me. At least not as much as me watching Letterman at that age. I’m also fairly certain that Animal Farm was assigned reading for me in High School right next to another one of my favorite books of all time, 1984.

    I suppose if the idea behind banning the books is to get the kids to read, then it’s worth it. Maybe it’s some warped reverse psychology.

  236. Cj Says:

  239. Jack Mangan Says:

  246. Vanamonde Says:

    is there an upper range limit for Cougars?

    Cough

  247. Cj Says:

    Van: I am still trying to determine the exact meaning of the word “Cougar’ because I’ve been told that in about 17 days I’ll be crossing over the line of “MILF” to become a “Cougar” but I thought a woman had to be on the prowl in order to cross that line.

    I need a ruling here. Can I just stay a MILF forever instead?

    And in response to your request – I don’t think there is an upper limit… I just think the age range of the young men widens. An 80-year-old is still a Cougar if she’s hitting on a 50-year-old man.

    And good for her! Hm. Maybe I WILL be a Cougar in my old-age!

  248. Cj Says:

    Darnit. What did I say that sent me into moderation? Maybe Jack’s mad at me for telling him to work and he put me in a time-out.

  249. Cj Says:

    And when my comment is freed – Van, you’ll have a nice long response to your Cougar query.

  252. Ed from Texas Says:

    Greetings, Pan. It’s been a really good weekend. One of my good friends from college (and my daughter’s Godfather…he’s Italian, go figure :) ) came to visit for the weekend. He’s been through a lot over the last several months, including cancer. But, he seems to be in really good shape now and it was nice to have him around.

  253. jackmangan Says:

    Ed, The Godfather’s second visit will be just as great, possibly even better. The third visit will not be as bad as everyone says, but still disappointing, compared to the first 2.

    (Applause to your friend for staying in shape vs. cancer)

  254. Vanamonde Says:

    Morning Pan, back to work today, yeah I would be more enthusiastic about walking across hot coals.

    I’ve been involved with a ‘Cougar’ (she was 15 years old than me)…not plain sailing by any stretch of the imagination..

  255. Vanamonde Says:

    +er

  256. Nomad Scry Says:

    Cj can be a MILF until she’s a GILF, but the real question is…

    What is a boy “Cougar” (besides a pig?)

  257. Nomad Scry Says:

    Er? Did I just get modded?

  258. Nomad Scry Says:

    MILF – the magick modding word.

  259. Ed from Texas Says:

    Did you find yourself sporting a new set of spinnner hubcaps and a rear spoiler?

  260. Ed from Texas Says:

    And, is that better or worse than finding yourself in a bath tub full of ice missing a kidney?

  261. Nomad Scry Says:

    I’ve got OLED headlights!

  262. justa J0e Says:

    “a new set of spinnner hubcaps and a rear spoiler”
    Ed FT Euphemism W

    Nomad gets a solid, second place with his “I’ve got OLED headlights” entry.

  263. justa J0e Says:

    (BTW – those euphemisms are much more entertaining if you apply them to Van’s comment instead of Nomad’s “modded” comment.)

  264. imag1narynumber Says:

    My sister is on FB and I’d rather we not friend each other. There are things I don’t want to know about her and there are things that I may post that may not be the best to broadcast to her. I hate having to water stuff down.

  265. imag1narynumber Says:

    Cj, you are correct. A MILF is a MILF until she’s no longer someone that one would LF. A Cougar is an older woman, very often a MILF, on the prowl for fleshly delights. So there is some cross-over there.

  266. imag1narynumber Says:

    Now wait a minute. What happened to my post? crap.

  267. imag1narynumber Says:

    Looks like I’ll have to re-type it.

    Cj: You are correct. A MILF is a MILF until she no longer qualifies as a desirable F. A Cougar is on the prowl for fleshly delights. So there’s some cross-over there.

  268. imag1narynumber Says:

    I’m at a loss. Both of my posts regarding MILFs have evaporated.

    That was a massive BoC. I am green.

  316. Vanamonde Says:

    Is that an OLED green?

  318. Vanamonde Says:

    So I’m watching an episode of ‘Being Erics’ and thinking…I’ve never seem a STOP button in an UK Lift (Elevator).

    That oh so useful function for lovers and muggers.

    Crap I have a a lot to do.

    Morning Pan!

    Another drive-by Panning.

    Actually had to spend two days in a row at the downtown office. The person I shared the office with was layed off about 6 weeks ago, now we’re trying to figure out what to do with all his stuff (files, computer, there’s even a 40″ flatscreen TV returned to our office).

    The office has to be emptied by the end of June (including me) so lots of planning to do.

    Since I am now alone at this office, they are moving me to a different office downtown with another branch. Not that it really matters to me as I usually only spend one day in ten at the downtown office :)

    Lock up your cats! There is going to be a wolf loose in the neighborhood!

  326. WNDRWolf Says:

    Yeah … I like cats.

  327. WNDRWolf Says:

    Currently listening to 16 Pieces at a Time…

    I still believe that should have won the short story contest in 2005…

    I know I should just let things go…

    Taking my children to see what I’m sure will be the worst movie this month if not this year.

    Afterward we shall run wild through the mall of Tempe Marketplace and rejoice.

  331. Ed from Texas Says:

    I think I’ve managed to keep that one off my kids radar. Though, we did rent something that had dogs going into space that was probably at least as cheesy.

    Very poor House ripoff set in a mental hospital.

  334. Nomad Scry Says:

    I’m positive that G*Force will be worse than Chimps, but I doubt anything will hold a candle to that Chihuahua movie from last year. That thing scares me, just thinking about it.

    Click to get scared. Scarred. Both!

  335. Nomad Scry Says:

    [frowns] WP moderator dislikes me this week. pbbbbbbbbbbbbttt to you mod!

  336. Nomad Scry Says:

    Before I forget again, I finished “Being Human” and I figured out what that feeling is and where I’ve had it before. Melancholy with “Dead Like Me.” Caveat is I’ve only seen the first season of “Dead Like Me”, so if it goes downhill after that…

    I loved it and cannot wait to abjectly fail at trying to get my friends and family to actually watch “Being Human.”
