Goodnight.

Birthday greetings NS.

Uh.
Thanx.
How did you know?

Are yall out there?

Good morning, Deadpan! Happy Birthday, Nomad!
Thursday means fresh Deadpan and the weekend within my sights.
June 4th, 2009 at 3:21 am
Well I’m off to see the new Terminator flick, the reviews have been less than glowing, but want to see for myself.
June 4th, 2009 at 3:27 am
Thursdays are good days.
Happy birthday, NS!!
Downloading — now, workout. Bleh.
June 4th, 2009 at 3:52 am
Happy Birthday Nomad!
I too just follow someone else’s lead on these things. I have trouble enough following birthdays in Meatspace.

Wow 14 comments already!
Morning Pan
Joyous BD Scry! Eat lots of cake ;)
June 4th, 2009 at 4:11 am
Ok Panites. May’s comment count is 1,658. This is down 31% over last year. Time to step it up.

Oh and what is the actuual date for the DW con in Arizona?
June 4th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Well, that’s still better than GM, Toyota, or Honda. We’re probably still going to get stiffed on any kind of bailout/stimulus for Deadpan.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Wow I finally made on the deadpan.

Jack Mangan’s Deadpan Podcast. Now with more Jack.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:51 am
I am seriously considering Phoenix during Discworld.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:52 am
I’ll say it again: I think Pecker is a fun choice for the next ‘Palooza:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126604/
June 4th, 2009 at 4:52 am
Or Snow Crash. I’m really digging the book, and almost finished.

June 4th, 2009 at 4:54 am
I vote for Snow Crash, too.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:54 am
TEB – What happened last June, were we more gregarious then in May or did we become coy and coquettish?
(sorry, I had some extra words I needed to bring out and dust off)

June 4th, 2009 at 4:55 am
Oh, and happy birthday wishes to you Nomad.
The Deadpan wishes to inform you that you are older than you’ve ever been.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:55 am
I have a work potluck today. Man, I hate those.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:59 am
??? I thought “potluck” was a sort of “dinning menu” thing ?
Potluck at Evil Inc. ? Does everyone bring their own evil dish?
June 4th, 2009 at 5:04 am
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=120673555584
Van, I remembered your e. You should be proud of me.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:06 am
It’s “Potluck” as in Evil, Inc is too cheap to allow me to take my employees out for occasions, so everyone brings a dish of bleh to share. The evil part is that we’re having it at all!
Sigh. Well, I must go to work now. Have a great day, panites. (TEB, whenever you write that, I read “panties” and think WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL ME??? and then I read it again and think, “oh.”)
June 4th, 2009 at 5:12 am
Happy birthday, NS!
New Deadpan and new Evo @ 11 are ready to go. Off to the service site.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:12 am
EssBee: We could solve that problem by capitalizing “Panites.”
June 4th, 2009 at 5:13 am
Cj: As a very long into the future heads up. Will you be willing to do DP notes during one week in August? I won’t be able to do them when I’m at WorldCon.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:17 am
Panites, Panties, whatever makes your mind happy :)
June 4th, 2009 at 5:19 am
Let’s not capitalize it. I have the same “mistaken word identity” that EssBee does with that word … in my case though, I LIKE IT!!!!
(“panties!!! er what? Oh panites. hehehehehe good one.)
June 4th, 2009 at 5:56 am
Listening to Evo@11. I have the same problem with whiskey sours as Shelia has with margaritas. You never really know what you’re actually going to get from place to place.
June 4th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Ha! One of the nipples made me blush and laugh out loud.
Also, Jack Squared is awesomeness.
June 4th, 2009 at 6:33 am
I vote for Panties. It goes with Nipples.
Also, submitting a comment while listening to the ‘cast on the current page results in a sudden cessation of sound.
June 4th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Words that flicked through my mind when watching T:S
Dumb
Total Recall
Human lego
Rejuvenation of old actor
Shiney
June 4th, 2009 at 6:51 am
So, wait until it comes to video, Van?
June 4th, 2009 at 6:55 am
Time for my morning constitutional.
Later, Pan!
June 4th, 2009 at 7:04 am
Lots of responses…
TEB: Good job on the show notes! And no, I’m not stalking you. ;)
Happy birthday, NS!!!
Snow Crash could be fun, but I think we need something low brow after Watchmania.
I vote for Panties too. The wolf would like that. *pant*
*cough*
June 4th, 2009 at 7:04 am
TEB: you are making a constitutional amendment?
June 4th, 2009 at 7:22 am
Comment. ;)
June 4th, 2009 at 7:22 am
We will return to commenting form once the stupid crap load of life stops interfering.
June 4th, 2009 at 7:23 am
I like the album idea. We haven’t done anything like that for a palooza yet.
June 4th, 2009 at 7:27 am
Cool. Tricorders.

June 4th, 2009 at 7:44 am
TEB: RE – Deadpan Notes. Yes. I may need a reminder, but I’m sure I can handle it.
June 4th, 2009 at 7:49 am
LLAP should come out soon. It’s got DanS and WolfJack.
My house is still swooning from all the Jacks and Dans it contained.
June 4th, 2009 at 7:50 am
My Palooza suggestion is UHF. I may have mentioned that before, but thought I’d toss it out there just in case I hadn’t.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:03 am
So, what, is it “Lejon goes to bed late after fixing his laptop, and another Deadpan drops” day? (#behind_again – Stupid octothorpe tag)
Oh, and Happy B-Day NS – many happy returns (assuming your merch is fragged and still under warranty)
Jack – Backstroke of the West made for the best morning at work ever – well, maybe in the last month – I lose track of these things. I don’t make now my time.
Vanamonde: RE: My Laptop – I was stupid or EXTREMELY tired, because I formatted C:, instead of the drive I was aiming at.
TEB: I don’t know who you are on facebook, but I’m always a fan of black cocktail dresses. And you can go without panites if you like.
ditto: Ditto (I know, it’s been done – Never said I was original, and besides, I’m making up for lost time)
June 4th, 2009 at 8:12 am
UHF could be fun.
“You get a drink from the FIRE HOSE! YEA!”
June 4th, 2009 at 8:15 am
ditto: UHF also has the benefit of Michael Richards acting exactly like himself.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:17 am

Back from my walk. LJ. If you are on FB. Go to the Deadpan site (http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=120673555584) you can find a number of us there, if you want to friend us.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:33 am
OK, so, this whole David Carradine thing is weird. Some are saying he died of natural causes and other reports are that he hanged himself.
Either way it’s sad.

June 4th, 2009 at 8:33 am
Nothing like a bunch of crazy women on a bus yelling at the Deadpan.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:34 am
TEB: thanks.
I’m always amazed that people can guess my initials – especially when I haven’t told anyone here. That’s so cool. Do I know you? (and, No, I was never any good at picking up women)
June 4th, 2009 at 8:49 am
Just passed a billboard saying “Oklahoma the parking meter was invented in this Great State.”…
I feel like I need to perform some sort of penance now.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:50 am
Actually Lejon, my knowing your initials was just a coincidence. Simply a lazy shortening of your Deadpan name
Lejon = LeJon = LJ
June 4th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Thanks for the link TEB, and I’m always proud of you ;)
Low brow palooza, I’ll be the stuck record on the deadpan and ask for Flash Gordon, it’s got loads of moments we can have a good laugh over.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:59 am
Oh and you aren’t missing waiting for T:S to come to DVD.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:00 am
+much
June 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Flash Gordon is classic and it’s definitely been a long time since I last saw it.
Someone also mentioned Princess Bride during some conversation I remember. It would give me an excuse to actually watch the entire movie.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Cj: David Carradine was a weird guy. Bat-Shit crazy (so I’ve heard). He will, however, be missed. Moment of silence for Quai Chang Cane
—–
That should do it.
TEB: I have joined the group. My name should be painfully obvious. It is to me, anyway.
I never considered that abbreviation for just my first name. It sure beats my other nicknames.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:20 am

So I ordered a new SSD and 2gig ram module upgrades for my Netbook from two separate companies..sod’s law was inaction and the much easier to fit ram module has arrived first.
To wait or not to wait that is the question.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Dear Gawd – he was found hung by the neck, and was there filming his new movie “Stretch” – Why, oh why, does this sound like a hoax or publicity stunt all of a sudden.

Now off to the store. Hubby e-mailed me,he needs 500 Popsicle sticks… Ahh, the life of a teacher’s wife.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:31 am
Sucks about David Carradine. I liked him.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Every news report gets weirder.
First he was just found dead.
Then he was found dead having hanged himself.
Then he had rope around other parts of his body as well as his neck.
And finally – he’s naked.
Why?
ugh. Each report is worse than the next.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Actually the title of this weeks episode suggests:
Das Boot
The series or the cutdown movie release.
Subtitled would be the preferred option.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:42 am
Too highbrow perhaps.
June 4th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Remember that episode of Star Trek: TNG with that game that takes over?
http://dvice.com/archives/2009/06/german-scientis-2.php
Oh mysterious German Scientists, is there nothing you can’t do?
June 4th, 2009 at 9:58 am
Cj: The news feeds just don’t want to say that it looked like auto-erotic asphyxiation.
OK. I’ve just grossed myself out.
June 4th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Ram upgrade complete.
They didn’t mention any fruit found at the scene.
June 4th, 2009 at 10:04 am
He was into his 70s…. Still definitely a shame.

Interesting …
If you go to google.com and enter “Tiananmen Square” you get an untold number of hits.
If you go to google.cn (the Chinese google) and enter “Tiananmen Square” you get one hit.
The voice of freedom is wiley though … students have apparently put all the same info up but under slightly different titles. If you search google.cn for “Tiananmen riot” you find all the information that was carefully removed from the search term “Tiananmen Square”.
… at least for the time being.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:30 am
The local radio station use to have a contest. They would have women call in and then would give them words to spell that had O’s in them (like cookie). The idea was, the one that gave the best version of spelling the word out, would win what ever the prize was for that week.
It was actually quite amusing.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:32 am
I know the Chinese government has blocked access to Twitter and other networking sites but, in today’s age of global information, I’m still sometimes surprised governments even try. It’s not like people can’t find out with a simple click of a button.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:32 am

The weekend is almost here already. I’m just noting the obvious because I’m not sure I’m quite recovered from the last one.
June 4th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Also, the top of my left foot is now almost 1/3 purple in color. I must have broken something inside there for it to turn that much of my foot purple. Really – I merely dropped a can on it.

June 4th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Now that ditto mentions it, that’s a good point. It would probably be nice to have something lowbrow to balance out Watchmania. I also like the idea of doing an album, but, as always, I’m up for anything.

June 5th, 2009 at 4:04 am
Okay, so a quick glance through the comments and I see “Panties” and “DP”. How can you go wrong?
I cannot go to AZ, due to a multitude of reasons. If ever there’s a get-together in CT I could perhaps do that. (What, doesn’t the world revolve around me?)
I will +1 the Snow Crash vote. Largely because I am ashamed to say I’ve not yet read it. It would force me to move it up in my queue. I’ll just have to postpone finishing The Best of 2600.

How are we this wet windy morning?
The good news… they retracted the snow forecast and have turned it to just rain. Woo Hoo.

I have fond memories of Space Invaders for the Atari 2600.
Oh that wasn’t what you meant IN…
June 5th, 2009 at 4:33 am
So as I was walking this morning, the rain was heavy and the joggers many.
So I wonder what sort of weather would stop them in their tracks.
June 5th, 2009 at 4:45 am
Joggers are insane, Van. I’ve seen them (and power walkers) here in temperatures as cold as – 20 C. they do seem to be scarce as we get closer to the -40 mark, though.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:14 am
I hear thunder.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:14 am
I, personally, will not be going for my daily walk. If I want to get wet, I’ll take a shower.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:19 am
Woo Hoo! Only at my desk an hour and it looks like I might be done for the day. Maybe I should frolic in the rain as celebration.

I’ve resisted all week but I guess, when I go out shopping today, I might give in to my baser desires and pick up Sims 3.
Have already pre-ordered Overlord 2, which comes out in a couple of weeks.
June 5th, 2009 at 5:25 am
And another game I’m looking forward to

Good morning.
Ed, I’ll happily kiss Wil Wheaton for you (or anyone else) anytime! Getting Wil’s permission might be a problem. Suddenly I envision myself being escorted roughly out of the next Phoenix Comicon.

The wolf has landed back in the area of his den.
I really believe that children that are going to fly need to be heavily sedated.

Back from shopping. No snow, but there was some hail.
Now enjoying a nice cup of cinnamon spice tea.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:45 am
Maybe I just need to be heavily sedated when I fly.

WNDRWolf: Hey, perhaps they could serve some sort of beverage which by imbibing one could be put into a state of relaxation where one wouldn’t care about flying children (or pigs, for that matter). They could charge a modest fee, and the beverage itself could come in a variety of boring, yet overpriced and pleasant-ish flavors.
I believe that Asimov came up with a term for this product (he created it for space-travel) Spaceline… Somehow, looking back on it, I don’t like that name.

Good to see you are home safe, WNDRwolf. We miss you already!
All morning I’ve thought of nothing more than thinking up sneaky ways to get close enough to Whhhhil Whhheaton to give him wet sloppy kisses.
*swooon*
June 5th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Although – why sloppy? I can’t figure out why it has to be sloppy, really. Unless, I just run up and lick his face.
June 5th, 2009 at 10:41 am
Cj Perhaps the “sloppy” bit is about making a statement. Like when you leave a puppy alone and they tear up your house: That’s a statement that they’re lonely. “Sloppy kisses” might equate to some sort of message.
I guess we’d have to plumb the depths of Ed’s mind to figure out what that message is, though.

All showing in the next 5 days.
Now, they do have a lot of decent movies in their line up – I just find it hard to call many of them “classic”. I mean seriously “Catwoman” and “Starski & Hutch”? I suppose they’re GOING to be classic pieces of crap, SOMEDAY.

Soooo a conundrum has happened.
Download Clone software, cloned my original SSD to new SSD.
Swapped SSDs, rebooted to find the cloned drive has 2 gig less used space than the old one.
Everything I’ve installed appears to work, so can’t for the life of me figure out what was occupying 2gigs of space on the old SSD.
I feel like I’ve took a clock apart, put it back together and notice that there are some bits left.

Van: The manufacturer may have created a partition on the drive for recovery software. That’s very common for laptops now a days
June 5th, 2009 at 5:40 pm
My thoughts run along similar lines, Van. I’d bet your old drive had an extra partition that may not have gotten copied over.
How many files/folders do you have on the C: drive on the new vs. the old? If those numbers match, you are probably in good shape.
June 5th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Well, if luck works for me, the wife and I will be picking up Palm Pre’s tomorrow. In researching it’s syncing with Google Gmail and Calendar, we decided to look into the Calendar tool (we already use Gmail).
I must confess, we’ve become quite enamored with it. We’ve each got our own calenders as well as one for each of the kids (between birthday parties, field trips, and various sports, they have a lot going on).
With the permissions setup as we have them, both my wife and I can see all of the calendars and can edit any of them. If we end up getting the Pre, that functionality will then extend to the Pre’s as well.
Yes, I’m geeking over an organization tool…..I’m an engineer, no question about it.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
Ed, I currently use 30 Boxes for my calender, but I’m considering moving to Google’s since more people use it. I’m pretty hooked on my 30 Boxes though and I fear change. /cower

Morning Pan, must admit it’s the apps that will probably keep me tied to the iPhone, however tempting the Pre looks.
Of course once the Pre gets a decent ebook reader and some games..that may change (I don’t use googlemail or calender).
Ed and LR you maybe right, the number of files on each SSD seem to be the same, so probably a hidden partition.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:46 am
My wee eee had a hidden partition for recovering if I tossed the system, but I removed that the first time I installed a GNU/Linux variant. If I am remembering correctly, and that is highly unlikely, it was about 700megs?

As I told Van on FB (in response to a question on whether or not we actually get summer),
“Last week we did get temperatures in the mid 20s C. June is considered our wet month. That’s when we’ll get most of our rain and the occasional wet snow. July and Aug will be nice, with even a few days pushing 40. (although we have had snow in these months too). Being so close to the mountains, our weather tends to vary a fair bit.”

Although as a friend pointed out, when the situation was reversed the media weren’t quite as vocal about wondering what was happening.
June 7th, 2009 at 6:12 am
NS – the keyboard is small, but I’m having no problems with hitting the keys that I intend. The only thing that bugs me a bit is the placement of the Orange key that invokes the numbers – it’s very close to where the numbers themselves are, making two handed number entry a bit of a chore. However, the number keys are automatically locked on when entering a field (like a phone number) that only accepts digits, so that’s not so bad. Mostly an issue for entering passwords.
Nice job on the netbook, Van. Have you noticed much better performance with the extra RAM?
June 7th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Interesting article, Van. Though I would tend to disagree with your friend. It feels like we’ve been inundated with stories in recent decades decrying the lack of female achievement in academics and the work place.
What we’re not likely to see as a followup to this story are the ones asking what needs to be done to get the boys to catch up again.
As to why this trend is happening, I hope in part we’re doing a better job of encouraging our daughters that they can pursue these kinds of fields. But, I hope we’re not doing so at the expense of turning our boys into dumb jocks with visions of success that primarily include one of the few hundred positions in the world of professional sports. That’s a gamble I’m not going to take with my son’s life.
Neither our sons nor our daughters should be sold short of their potential.

June 7th, 2009 at 7:04 am
The new SSD has made the big difference Ed, the one that came with Mini 9 had read write speeds of 40/15megabytes a second. The new one has 80/40.
Of course it’s not as simple as that, since you only really see max read/write speeds when reading and writing large files.
The RAM upgrade meant I don’t run out of memory (in order to minimize SSD writes it’s best to turn memory paging off in XP).
Roll on Windows 7 which supports SSDs properly.
June 7th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Jack, no more snow for now. While it’s chilly, the sun is shining nice and bright. Which is nice as my office faces east. My living room faces west so I’ll also get the sun once the day wears on and I move into that room.
We are supposed to reach the mid-twenties by the middle of the week. So nice weather all round.
Now for the sports…

Err you know what fridge is TEB?
June 8th, 2009 at 5:41 am
Yes, it’s just putting electronics in a fridge that threw me.
It reminds me of a time when I once worked for a company that built railroads. My boss bought a laptop. He knew nothing about computers. He was having trouble getting the thing to do something and it crashed. Thinking maybe it overheated, he put it in the fridge.
I’m not sure what the real problem was. He told me refrigerating it didn’t work but when I looked at the computer I couldn’t find anything wrong.
June 8th, 2009 at 5:44 am
Yes TEB it is from the interview last night. The group of people who were in the chatroom for my interview could not hear it…So I was up late so my “fans” could hear the discussion.

I’m wretched at distance troubleshooting. Anybody local to Jack able to pop by?
That said… frequently a reboot solves all things. Unplug the drive, boot up, wait until everything has loaded up, then plug the drive in. Try checking for your data using the My Computer interface.
It is also possible that the data you were working with has been duplicated to the temp files. However, even if it is, it will probably take longer to find it there than to redo the lost work.
Anyone else have any good ideas?

June 8th, 2009 at 9:28 am
jackmangan: As I understand it, flash-drives are extremely hard to recover data off of. Every time they’re written to, the tables are completely re-written due to the nature of flash memory. Large portions of the filesystem are shuffled around in blocks with every write.
As a side note, the NSA and others have been quick to try to build tools to recover data from flash-drives lest members of the public, I mean terrorists, use this to their advantage.
June 8th, 2009 at 9:29 am
Also interestingly enough (at least to me), flash drives had unannounced areas of unused storage space to use when other portions of the drive fail. So if you have a gig thumbdrive, it may actually house 1.1 or something like that to maintain its size as the memory decays.

Saw the announcement about the new iPhone as well, Van. While it’s not for everyone, I’m definitely glad I went with the Pre.
It’s funny to me to see the fanbois going on about an 8GB iPhone for $99 vs. the Pre for $199 – ignoring the fact that that iPhone will cost you several hundred dollars more after your two year contract is done.
Still, I’m sure there will be plenty who get drawn in by that low up front price only to wonder where all their money went two years from now. The iPhone is a good piece of hardware, and the new upgrades are nice, but I stand by by assessment that, at least in the States, Sprint + Pre > AT&T + iPhone.

I have a question for the geeky men. My anniversary is coming up in 6 weeks. I know I can’t top last years gift for two reasons
a) Due to other expenses I’m not willing to spend the same amount as last year
b) how do you top a Gibson SG?
So the question is… What should I get him (around the $500 or less)?

Yes, we both love the original Dr. Who but we are both opposed to getting the DVD’s. They usually run around $100 for a few episodes. We are hoping they will eventually release the DVD’s by season (or even complete sets by Dr.), then we’ll snap them up.

It’s great because it’s inexpensive and there are oodles of simple games like Uno, Casino Games, Peggle… stuff that non-gamers love and it can just be carried around and used here and there to pass the time. No guarantees… it’s just a suggestion.
It comes in cool colors too.
Of course, mine is pink.
And all I use it for is Animal Crossing and to keep the kids subdued with Nintendogs.

I actually never liked pink until I had a daughter. Her birth somehow changed my physiology forcing me to like the color.

2 cents worth mode/
I’ve always been one who thought that the idea of “anniversary gifts” was a little odd … it’s like “Wow, so sorry you had to spend another year with me … so here’s a consolation prize!”
… or, ‘Say, here’s something shiney. Any chance that will make you want to hang around another year?”
TEB – Maybe I’m just a hopeless romantic, but I would think the best way to celebrate an anniversary is to spend an evening/weekend remembering just why you dug each other in the first place.
Spend that cash on a night/weekend that the two of you will smile slyly about for months to come!
Go out have a good relaxed meal, then go home and spend the rest of the evening sipping wine while watching your favorite movies or playing games while sitting around in newly purchased, sexy, anniversary underwear … until the mood of this special evening over comes any interest you had in the movie/game you were playing.
Alternately, … you could spend that money paying someone to repaint that room/redo that flooring/re-landscape that garden – that the two of you have been talking about doing yourselves but have never had the time to do.

# I didn’t think of think geek, will look over their site and see if there is anything there that catches my fancy.
Jack, not sure about accessories. The Gibson wasn’t his first guitar so he had some stuff any way. He has also bought a new amp and pedal since getting the guitar last year
LJ: This will be our 13th anniversary. As for wrapping myself up for him, I don’t need a special occasion to do that ;)
June 9th, 2009 at 11:59 am
The number 13, lucky for some.
;)
June 9th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
J0e, I don’t disagree with you. My hubby and I are sickeningly sweet with one another to the point it is often commented on by others who know us. We both look at the gift part as a splurge on something we want but really wouldn’t get on our own. Last year, for example: Hubby has wanted a Gibson for as long as I’ve known him but would never get one on his own. When I did buy it, it wasn’t a total surprise. In fact I “gave it to him” a month before our anniversary. For me, I took him to Future Shop and said “I want that.” (an I-Pod touch). We generally spend the year saving up and buy something big for that, so it’s like a second Christmas as it falls midway to Christmas. We don’t spend a lot on birthdays (his is the week before Christmas and mine is two weeks before our anniversary) and compensate this way instead.
This year, when I asked what he wanted all I got was, “I don’t know, surprise me” hence my asking for advise.
June 9th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
You could surprise him with a blonde…
June 9th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
That would pee me off.

Morning, Pan!
I’m off to Evil, but couldn’t leave the house without stoppin’ by. Have a great day, y’all.

Morning Pan!
downtown today. Must clean out the office for the move happening sometime this month.

Good morning, Pan.
Another day, another five class periods, another Altador Cup opponent in the evening.

So according to the Scientific American 60 second science podcast, men who eat more fruits and vegetables have a higher sperm count than those who don’t.
I’m not sure what you’ll get out of that information (depends on whether you want to prcreate or just have fun, I guess) but take from it what you will.
June 10th, 2009 at 6:15 am
… aaannd since we’ve gone down that path -Ms. Violet Blue of the “Open Source Sex” podcast, recommends the consumption of fruit smoothies if you wish to increase a specific type of appeal for your lover. Seems like she reported it being more affective at inducing a change in men then in women. There were also some fruits that seemed to induce more of this change in chemistry than others. Something about the sugers in them.
I believe that is all I shall say about that.
June 10th, 2009 at 7:13 am
It’s a bit moot if you are stuck with self stimulation.
June 10th, 2009 at 7:54 am
Better living through chemistry, higher sperm counts through fruitatarianism, altered attractiveness through smoothie-sugarism…
I’m not impressed.
When did I become an old fart anyway?

Home again, home again, jiggity jog.
At least for a little while. Will be sneaking out to get the heels on a pair of boots recapped, then trying to decide if I want to be bad and eat out for lunch.
June 10th, 2009 at 8:48 am
T.E.B.: How could you say no to eating out?
June 10th, 2009 at 8:55 am
The more important question is why is eating out being bad?
June 10th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Lejon: Ha! Nice!
The only sex/fruit knowledge I have is about pineapple, leaving me, once again, on the cutting edge of “well, DUH!”
June 10th, 2009 at 8:59 am
TEB: You had me at “heels”
June 10th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Eating out it bad, evil and full of nasty calories. Which makes it so good. :)
June 10th, 2009 at 9:04 am
# I don’t wear heels often because my husband isn’t very tall and anything over a couple of inches makes me taller than him. However I do have a pair of favourite suede boots that I will wear occasionally. They are my most comfy pair of heels.
June 10th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Now, off to get them recapped.
Later, gators!

Interesting to hear nearly completely opposites takes on “Bite” in Las Vegas as reported on Evo@11 and LLAP. I was considering going to that show while on our trip in July.

[...] In the first week of June, my day job sent me to Phoenix for job training. So while I was there I was able to visit some internet friends in real life. Then I made appearances in their shows. I personally want to thank Jack Mangan for being a gracious host and tour guide. I also made an appearance on his show Jack Mangan’s Deadpan [...]

June 10th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Yes, LJ I am now heeled. Only took them 1/2 an hour to fix my shoes. Enough time to have some curry lamb for lunch at the mall.
Sorry Van, in our case and 5′2″ and 5′4″, it’s short woman, short man combo.
Have a drink for me.

ditto, I don’t there there really is a problem. He’s never said anything. I think it’s more me, I feel a little self conscious when I have to look down on him.
June 10th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Van: I’ve got to ask what Danish Blues are.
My internet search leads me to believe that it’s either a type of cheese, a type of music, or possibly a color.

then can’t we just create new bits of paper ourselves and tie
our own imaginary values to them to get us out of
