I haven’t seen most of the number title movies, which is fine. What gets me are the ones that I haven’t even heard of before.

That pie fight is epic.
And another movie I’d never heard of.

There is a giant hill across the street from my workplace. At some point it was placed there by MNDOT. This summer they have been taking it back for road projects. It is startlingly about half gone.

TEB, I have wanted a nice pocketwatch since I was 11 or so. I have a non-functional very spartan one of my grandfather’s that I have toyed with the idea of having repaired…
July 30th, 2009 at 6:59 am
I remember, a few years ago, my hubby and I were in the mood for 2001 so we went to the local Block Buster and rented it. (This was when Video was still the norm, not DVD). We were so upset when the copy we had was edited. We didn’t notice it at first but, near the end we noticed the main line of “My God, it’s full of stars” was missing. We then went back and rewatched the tape and found about ten minutes had been cut. We were not impressed. I complained to the BB clerk when I returned the movie but only got a shrug in return.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:00 am
I’ve always hankered after a Grandfather Clock myself.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I knew there was something I wanted to say, but I kept forgetting what it was.
That story about the horse buggery? Yeah, it’s from South Carolina. I know when I die, I’m going to heaven ‘cuz I’ve already lived in hell twice. Bloody hate that state.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Although if you read the book, the ending of 2001 makes a bit more sense, since DB is being converted into god like being by going backwards through his life.
July 30th, 2009 at 7:15 am
Messing with 2001 is a great idea, espeically since that movie is so booooooooooooring that I’ve never been able to sit through it without falling asleep.
I propose full-contact 2001. ;)
July 30th, 2009 at 7:16 am
Good Morning!
I haven’t listened yet – saving it for the treadmill. Leaving to do that in about 20 minutes. Coffee before treadmill.
TEB – Yes. I can do the show notes. I can’t read todya’s yet because I haven’t listened to the show yet. I don’t like knowing what to expect. I’m a “surprise me” kind of girl.
I think during next Deadpan Jack will need to say something like, “Cj, are you remembering to write this down?”

July 30th, 2009 at 7:56 am
I probably need to rewatch 2001, but as I recall he never said “my god its full of stars” in the original picture but the line was retconned in for the 2010 novel and film. I know I’ve seen the whole thing all the way through to the Starchild at the end.
July 30th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Thud!
July 30th, 2009 at 8:21 am
OK, it’s been almost 10 years since my last viewing, but if time-altered recollection serves, I’d thought he was being hyper-evolved and reborn.
July 30th, 2009 at 8:27 am
Slight hitch in the lunch recording, the portable recorder is apparently sitting next to the home computer, more or less defeating its purpose…
July 30th, 2009 at 8:40 am
TEB: JohnBoze is correct, the “My God it’s full of stars” line is at the end of the Book 2001, but not at the end of the movie, it is at the beginning of 2010.
Oh, and Good Morning, Pan!
And I know I promised not to say anything more about numerological films, but I’m not counting… Honest. And I didn’t start it. Ooh, look, a Monkey!

Just doing my part in the pan-global conspiracy against you, Lejon.
Is it possible the “My god, it’s full of stars” line was dropped into a special edition of the original? Along with extra silly footage of Jabba the Hutt and a new Ewoks song?

Star Wars Music concert is coming to Phoenix – selected scenes from the movies to enhance the experience.
I sort of want to go, but I am of the firm opinion that I am no longer Lucas’s little bitch anymore… What do you think?
July 30th, 2009 at 10:36 am
I was contemplating the same concert, Lejon. Ticket price will be a big factor.
I think that enjoying Star Wars does not necessarily equal Lucasbitchdom.

You’re horney as a targ
Take a tip from a security cheif, love

She discovered the pleasures of Data
He became her sexual pet

He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
He’s defiant with his thrusters will explode in your wormhole
and he’ll rub his trusty spangler wrench on your warpcore manifold
his multiphasic torpedo will penetrate your rift
and cause a quantum singularity in your transwarp conduit
So if you’re a filthy horta Data’s your bestest bet
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
He gently massages your gel packs
while he replicates some lube
then he shoves his throbbing razor beast into your Jeffery’s tube
so lower your shields spread your necells to make room for his craft
as he thrusts his delta flyer to your big fat juicy aft
So if you’re a filthy horta datas your bestest bet
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct
His pelvis a tireless engine he skhakes it when he struts
He’s full of dilithium crystals in his bulbs and in his nuts
He too likes to be pleasured
He will put you on your knees
And if you’re into disgrace
He’ll cover your face with his andriod anti-freeze
so if you’re a filthy horta datas your bestest bet
He’s fully functional and anatomically correct

It’s a refurbished Dell, 2 GHz dual-core 3 gigs of ram, 150 gig HD. Nothing fancy, but it’s a huge update for me here. My needs are modest and my boss is cheap.
July 30th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I’m home and in dire need of a hot tub.
21 days makes this workout thing a habit right? Is that when the pain stops? My arms are still aching and today I worked legs and abs so guess what I’ll be bitching about tomorrow! :)
There were no bees on the loos at the gym today.

Cj: The pain stops when it stops, is the unfortunate answer. It’s a natural reaction. And if, when it stops, you start to really, really kick up you workouts, it’ll come back. And if you stop and start, it’ll come back. It’s a uncomfortable friend.
July 30th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Muscle-building isn’t my goal, overall health, weight-loss, and just feeling better are what I’m aiming for so I don’t think I need to do the super-push that makes the pain continue.
I’ve been through this before and I know it will cease shortly, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to vent about it.
A great part of me is damned proud of this pain because it reminds me that I’m actually DOING THIS which is the first step toward my success. Getting started is the hardest part.

July 30th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
When it comes to exercise I’ve always felt cheated cos I never get ‘the high’.
July 30th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
Cj there’s an app for the touch clled livestrong that I use. If you’re interested.
Van, what high? I found when I first started working out on a regular basis I felt more like I was going to die, than anything good. It wasn’t until I kept at it for a length of time that I noticed it on the days I didn’t work out. It almst becomes an addiction after a while. “Gotta…get…my…exercise fix”
July 30th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
BEsides, high or not, even if you a in relatively good shap, some exercise is good for you. (now I sound like a commercial)
July 30th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
That’s the high TEB..lol
I’ve never got to the addicted stage.

July 30th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
And I don’t know that I get the “high” either… I get more of a trembley, uncomfortable feeling afterward, especially when I do large muscle exercises.
What I do notice is that when I’m using the treadmill regularly, I walk faster in my normal routines. I’m just generally more comfortable in my body when I’m working it regularly.

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Glazed Cake doughnuts… Where’s that StarBuck’s again?
I can attest after my high-school years of distance running, “The High” isn’t a myth, but it’s not something you can just get to.
The high is usually the endorphins kicking in. Your “second wind” hits, and then you roll into “the high.”
It takes a serious, long exercise period with a heavy amount of effort to hit it consistently.
I never really got into running deep enough to have it more than a couple times… I’m not sure it’s all it’s cracked up to be.
July 30th, 2009 at 1:54 pm

Already thinking about a future trip.

please tell me someone is going to touch on Richard O’Brien’s cameo in Flash Gordon. Also, Deep Roy, the little person who played every Mopalopa in Charlie and the chocolate factory had a cameo.
I can’t think of a good way how to use these facts and the deadpan show. Hopefully someone more talented and mention them appropriately.

Lejon, I have been trying to listen to your podcast but I can’t seem to add to my iTunes.
Sorry if I gave you a complex about mentioning your from Chandler. I just don’t know anyone else named Lejon anywhere in the world. I think it stands alone without the geographical designation.

Gorgeous shot, Ed. When we visited the canon about 5 years ago, I was struck by how unreal it looks. It’s very beautiful.
Thanks for the hugs, y’all. I’m better this morning, ready for another day of meetings with the new corporate overlords. Actually, half a day – they must get their be-booted butts back to Dallas, so leave at noon.

I’ve got basically nothing to do with tons of work hanging over me. And I’m pretty tired as well. There are somethibng like 7 jobs all on hold for one reason or another, and you just know they will all get cleared to go at the same time…

Many thanks for the compliments.
Regarding the Grand Canyon tour – We went with a small tour company for a day trip. They picked us up from our hotels and did all the driving. We had two guides and only eight tourists, including my wife and I. It was a fantastic experience.
http://www.grand-adventures.com/
We didn’t go to the new clear bridge. I’m pretty sure that’s on the North Rim as part of an Indian reservation. Our tour went to the South Rim. Darryl, the owner and main guide, basically started this company because he could find no one offering tours of the Grand Canyon in small groups. So, he quit his banking job and is pretty much living his dream with this. I highly recommend them if you want to take a day trip to the Canyon from Las Vegas.

Regarding imag1narynumber’s security post:
During our last couple of days, it turned out the Black Hat conference was going on at our hotel. There were a few exceptions, but it was a sea of stereotypical looking computer nerds – white guys aged 25 to 55 wandering around with their red ID badge holders.

Ed: great picture!

They seem to be a progressive metal band, that does instrumental music. At least, that’s all I’ve heard so far. Pretty good stuff so far.
You can get their 3 albums for free here:

Back from the grocery store. Hubby came with me. He’s the same way, Cj. I never know what I’m going to bring home when he’s with me.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:30 am
I won’t go there.
July 31st, 2009 at 9:33 am
TEB Are you alluding to a conversation with Cj that didn’t happen on here?

July 31st, 2009 at 11:14 am
Thanks for listening to LLAP.
Ed’s ODing on Jack? How is that possible? I mean, really isn’t LLAP just me interrupting him repeatedly? (I am really working on that bad habit!)

And, TEB, yes, you can buy frozen pie crusts in the dessert section at the grocery store. Thaw, then bake. It’s terrible. I buy them as snacks and just break off frozen chunks and eat them. It’s one of the various things about me that makes me, um, you know… “special”

EssBee – The new Who is excellent. I say that having only seen the first two seasons with Eccleston and never really having had a chance to get comfortable with the new Doc, the one from Harry Potter. *cough*
August 1st, 2009 at 12:53 am
Is it ok to argue with a Portuguese woman about unmanned v manned lighthouses if you AREN’T gnackered?
August 1st, 2009 at 2:32 am
She’s scary, so probably not.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:33 am
Eccelston only did one season NS.
August 1st, 2009 at 2:39 am
Was it really only the one season? Wow. Cuz it really was excellent. I’m sure that there is some bad spec fiction tv being made in …
Erm, do I want to say Briton, England, the UK, or something else?
… anyhow, I’m sure that the BBC cannot have a 100% hit record, but the three shows I’ve seen were all excellent. Being Human, 3rd season of Torchwood, 1st season of Dr. Who.
I would pick up the DVD sets of Dr. Who, but they were $90USD when I looked a year ago.
I keep distracting myself, I meant to ask if there are bad specfic TV shows on BBC?
August 1st, 2009 at 3:49 am
Hell ya NS, soaps like Eastenders for a start.
But in regards to BBC scifi, pre-new Who a lot it was great on ideas (Blakes 7) but let down by the shoddy FX.
August 1st, 2009 at 3:52 am
Oh and if you think B5 started major story arcs in scifi TV..you’d be wrong.
August 1st, 2009 at 5:17 am
NS, do you have Netflix? The first 3 seasons are all watchable online (though we have gotten the DVDs). Our S3, disc 4 was cracked when we opened it up last night, though, so I bought those 3 episodes from iTunes and hooked the iPod up to the TV and we watched em that way. I think David T. makes a wonderful Doctor. I loved Rose, but I really love Martha.
Mundane EssBee health update: I finally went to Urgent Care late yesterday because I could not stand it anymore! I have a ginormous bladder infection (I know that’s oversharing, but we’re all friends, right?) plus the stones, so now am on mega medication. It must be bad because I was told that if I wasn’t markedly improved today to head to the ER. I am better, so screw that, btw. /medreport
August 1st, 2009 at 5:31 am
Also, Computer King, if you’re out there, you could record yourself reading the phone book and it’d be just a-ok with me.

Morning Pan!
Woke up, ate breakfast then had a shower. Hubby still asleep and I don’t want to wake him so I’ve just got a towel wrapped around me ’til he gets up and I can get dressed. Now my shoulders are chilly.
August 1st, 2009 at 6:32 am
I think my feet are getting cold too.
I might wait another 1/2 hour, then climb into bed and snuggle up to him with my cold feet and shoulders.
That’ll teach him.
August 1st, 2009 at 6:47 am
Newsflash:
The Deadpan Ambassador is now on her way home. Do to uncooperative weather, she missed her connecting flight was was delayed overnight in Houston. We were able to put her up for the night at the Deadpan consulate here in southeast Texas.
And, yes, Joe, she did get to ride in the CTS. :)
August 1st, 2009 at 6:55 am
All hail the generosity that seems to be the Deadpanites, Ed.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:02 am
Ugh! Evil hubby kicked me out of bed because my feet were cold. I showed him, I turned on the bedroom light – without warning – so I could see to get dressed. I think we’re both up now.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:20 am
You are laying the evilness of Mr TEB a bit thick there TEB.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:21 am
:evil:
August 1st, 2009 at 7:41 am
Hubby actually didn’t get up. I shut off the light and he rolled over and went back to sleep.
August 1st, 2009 at 8:19 am
Hubby finally dragged his butt out of bed. Now I can clean the bathrooms.
Him sleeping in is not as big of a deal as I’m making it. He was up quite late last night. I’m a morning person, he’s a night owl so every once and a while this difference clashes. We both understand ;)
August 1st, 2009 at 9:18 am
Hubby’s laughing at me because I’ve pulled out the suitcases and started packing. We don’t leave until Wednesday.
August 1st, 2009 at 9:31 am
Now my cat has decided to sleep in the open suitcase – as cats generally like to do. No more packing for me.

Ed: you are an excellent human being. Very knightly of you to rescue a stranded Amy Bowen.
August 1st, 2009 at 11:22 am
Err Essbee my Mum almost died from a bladder infection, go and get checked out if your aren’t feeling better.
August 1st, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Thanks, fellas. I’m on the nuclear antibiotics, and suffer from chronic kidney issues (thanks, mom). I’ll be good as new in a few days.
I was gonna say, Jack, that I definitely will NOT be fucking around in my current state, but that might only be funny in my own head.
Ed, what a guy!

I guess I’m not weird because I don’t do any of that. However, I do have a significant other to go with so that probably makes a difference. If I was on my own, I’d be more inclined to go to a movie or a restaurant by myself.

I can’t say that it has ever occurred to me to try to play Monopoly by myself.
August 2nd, 2009 at 11:38 am
I wouldn’t play Monopoly by myself, but I have played the Game of Life solo before. Does it count if it’s a computerized version of the game?
And I disagree completely with any solo movie viewings being weird. One of my favorite things to do is go to the theater to see a movie that is 100% my choice. Settle in with popcorn, redvines, and a diet soda – none of which I have to share – and watch the movie without having to concern myself with anyone else. Pure selfish enjoyment, that’s what that is.
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:19 pm
I like to go to the movie theater alone wearing only shorts and a trenchcoat.

One has to wonder about the reflectoporn. I mean… are they thinking “Hey, I’m taking naked pics of myself. While I have my camera out, I should take pictures of those things I keep meaning to put up on eBay.” ?
Or do you think it’s the other way around?

Good news the August Spotlight has been found! Woohoo!
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:33 am
Ed, I haven’t seen any ads for Evony, but it looks like it’s a game that runs in the browser, much like Free Realms which, from what I understand is horrible. I tried to play Free Realms and couldn’t make it work. Seeing as I like to think of myself as a little bit tech savvy (at least) that was frustrating. Now I’ll have to check this out and see if it runs better.
Good Morning, everyone.

I suspect a shade of red.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:28 am
I think the whole point of those Evony ads is the cleavage. Which doesn’t say much for the gameplay. Or maybe it speaks volumes.
Morning, Pan.
August 3rd, 2009 at 8:35 am
The wikipedia article suggests in pretty scathing terms that it’s largely a ripoff of material from the Civilization games.
What’s odd is that the banner ads suggest a game of an adult nature, but apparently that’s just a tease.

Have you tried this tool Wolf:

August 3rd, 2009 at 10:58 am
Yes I have – DO NOT USE IT WITH MUSIC….
Really F things up…
August 3rd, 2009 at 10:59 am
Ah I should have known it couldn’t be that simple to solve.
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:05 am
Van No worries… I have been fighting this problem for a while… I think I have found a better answer but I am still figuring it out.
I tried levelator with the Bedlam Bards interview and that totally f’ed that up and I had to re do the whole thing… which was why that took so long..
As a tool it is handy but you do have to watch it….
August 3rd, 2009 at 11:34 am
Defying Gravity
A definite hmmmmmm!
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:06 pm
WNDRWolf: Levelator is great for speech. Speech only. It will completely ruin music.
Of course, if you cut your ‘cast together, levelate, then open both the levelator file and the original cut in your audio software, you should be able to mute the bad music on the levelated track, and mute the bad speech on the original cut, and produce a third file.
Of course, that’s a lot of work… Probably just easier to increase the volume on the speech portions.
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Lejon – You would think it would work that way but not really… it does weird shit to the audio file…
August 3rd, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Interesting… I won’t change the way I talk. I think accents make a difference in how people pronounce things, but it’s still interesting.

Quiche is heavenly.
Pie crust filled with mostly cheese?
I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this amazing creation of food goodness.
EssBee – your ingredients sound ZOMG so delicious.
August 3rd, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Mine is pie-crustless.
Interpret that as you will, pervs.
Also, I LOVE Torchwood.
That is all.

Even for just speech, Levelator is hit or miss. Sometimes it works really great. And sometimes it spits out a pile of crap. You really really have to listen to the entire file afterwards to make sure it doesn’t go bad.
But when it works, heh. Nothing easier.

Devil’s Advocate:
Think about it from Pratchett’s perspective. He’s facing a lot of years of undignified suffering as the Alzheimer’s erodes his ability to think and to clearly perceive the world. The disease will kill him anyway, but he’ll undergo months or years of dementia first. In this case, he’s made a rational, functional decision to depart with dignity.
There must be some way to allow this, while protecting elderly relatives who are “in the way” from their conniving relatives.

RE: Euthanasia
Like so much in life, there is NO black and white to this one. There will be times when it isn’t right and there will be times where it is the sort of compashionate act that actually defines us as “human”.
I say we don’t “legalize” euthanasia but we don’t criminalize it either.
I’m not sure how that gets pulled off. The idea is NOT to give it an official governmental blessing … but also have the human compassion to look at individual cases.
Dang! Another hard one. Why won’t life just give in and be simple?

JOe!! Scary wasp story, btw.
We just saw Harry Potter. I loved it. I cried.
We have 2 more episodes of Torchwood to watch. I cannot wait, yet I’m sad to be finished with it again.

I just discovered that my hubby has never heard the song “Knockin’ at Your Back Door” by Deep Purple.
I’m still just sitting here agape.
Seriously…

But Nomad, why should they do anything when youre there to do it for them?
Only about an hour left in the Flash Gordon poll. Not a huge turnout, but some great write-in responses. . . :)
August 4th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Do you mean 2001?
August 4th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Um.
Yes.
2001.
Sleep is a good thing.
August 4th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I think he meant 2001 – otherwise you all are doing some super-secret Flash Gordon poll and I feel really super left out.
oh and … *snicker* you said “poll” .. oh wait.. I was thinking “pole” dangit.. never mind.
Back to my dirty lyric recording… it’s happening tonight all you doubters! (i1)

Isn’t there a facebook app for that?
August 5th, 2009 at 3:53 am
Crap, I totally missed the poll.
Not “pole”, JOe.
Morning comes around fast. Ugh.
Off to the showers and Evil. Have a wonderful day, DP!

Nomad Scry: Can’t agree more. It’s gotten to the point I’ve told one of my co-workers that I will no longer spoon-feed him.

Morning, Pan! Today I’m doing my Volunteer Service Project of the Week: going to the school where my dad works to help out with new student registration and/or the distribution of textbooks. I’m looking forward to it!

Good morning.
EssBee said: “I totally missed the poll.”
That’s what She Said.
August 5th, 2009 at 8:22 am
That’s a shame. I’d thought EssBee was in the Pole Position.
What?

On a differrent but similure note, I also suddenly don’t feel so good.
No energy, joints achey, spell checker not functioning.
Who needs this in the summer?

I had this vision of Lejon “diving” by. As though he had a diving board at one end of the comments and jumped, leaped, dove… to the other end. And then, as if he was never even here, he disappeared in to the nothingness which followed, well, until imag1narynumber commented a few minutes later.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:37 am
J0e, you must have caught something from all that coughing around here.
August 5th, 2009 at 11:38 am
jJ – I know the cure for what’s ailing you. It’s called a hot tub. You go now.
Feel better soon.

There might be a new episode up in the next 24 hours, Lejon. You have been warned.

Jack, I think you should know that your “wryly” comment made me laugh out loud for the first time today. That’s much better than my usual little snicker.
August 5th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
Hello, crazy friends.
It’s a pleasant evening at casa de Bee. I’ve worked out (because I overslept this morning), watered the flowers, and caught up on your — yes YOUR — dirty talk. In and out indeed.
