Remeber: Deadpan is the Weigh!
Goodnight Mush.
Did I ever tell the story about “Patrick Stewart†fondling me in an elevator?
Did I ever tell the story about “Marina Sirtis†buying me a drinks at a hotel bar and then later stabbing an ice pick in the back of my head and throwing my lifeless body in a dumpster in the alley?
Did I ever tell the st*CRASH* (Rhettro smashes empty vodka bottle over the back of J0e’s head)
jOE, do tell.
jJ – hee hee.. all true stories, right?
Well, not as exciting, but Suzie Plakson did step on me, true story. She was very apologetic.
I just stood there and swooned at her.
Everything is true on the Internet.
I can prove it.
If you can find it, it exists.
If it exists, it isn’t 0.
Since 0 == false and !0 == true then everything is true on the Internet. ;)
(J0e climbs back up on his bar stool)
Most people have to PAY to get Suzie Plakson to step on them. Was she wearing the red heals? Say! Did I ever tell the story about “Rhettro†hitting me over the he*SMASH*
(This time Rhettro hits J0e over the head with a nearly empty whisky bottle)
I think I’ll go get J0e’s coat for him.
Should I kick Joe while he’s down? ;)
CP: Party Time — Lesbians on Ecstasy
mmmm…. Whisky.
Crap! Rhettro!! I thought I told you to use the cheap bottles of booze when you bean Joe.
*mourns 30 year-old scotch*
*Cracks J0e over the head with a Wild Turkey. Not the cheap whiskey. A wild turkey.*
OoooooooOOOOOOOOh lots of feathers!
CP: Crazy — Joel Armstrong
Wait, is Kingsford a brand of whisky? Does it come in a tin?
I suspect that if I had the power of life and death over people..I would be truly evil.
1) Van, HILARIOUS link w/ the buzzwords. OMG, that is my life.
2), JOe, I don’t know about “Patrick Stewart”, but I once made out with “Linda Perry.”
;)
Ok, I might have gotten to third base with “Linda Perry.”
I had to Google for “Linda Perry”.
Really? The 4-Non-Blondes singer??
Ha ha. Yep!
(Joe suddenly stands up and spits turkey feathers out of his mouth)
Say … Third base with Perry? Me too!!
Oh, wait … that was Tyler Perry, um … er
(J0e ducks down to avoid the next impact, grabs coat from Van, makes a dash for the door – from outside we hear a woman scream, tires squeeling, glass shattering, and then the unmistakable sound of New Zealand Sea Lion’s barking)
The imagery on the Pan is particularly vivid for some reason today. That must have been some pizza.
I am now in possession of Flash Gordon. I watched the opening title sequence to make sure my “backup” is working correctly. I had forgotten about the “motion comic” effect that they used, drawing from old Flash comics.
Tyler Perry is a very handsome man.
Night, Pan.
And so is Katy Perry. Handsome that is, er or cute, yeah cute. LOL
Okay, I’m going to bed to, someone hand me jOE’s/Van’s coat.
The video for this song would probably get a PG-13 rating, so maybe not 100% SFW.

Morning Pan.
Just finished reading Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, enjoyed it.
I know some people look down on adults reading YA fiction, but I’ve discovered some good books in that genre over the years.
Suzie Plakson? Oh, I think I’ve seen her episodes. Maybe.
The idea that alien civs are missing not because of nuclear self-annihilation but because of Wall-E is mildly interesting. The idea that the Fundies recognize the Great Temptation and will survive… is disturbing.
Van – I find that some of the most emotionally satisfying stories I read are YA. Grown ups that feel so strongly are dangerous, out of control, irresponsible, and contemptible. Children are still allowed to feel without being somehow mentally unfit. So their stories or rather, the stories about them tend to be more expressive and satisfying. I am, of course, broadly overgeneralizing.
And, since I’m in an angry mood tonight… time to log out of the Pan. No need to spread the feeling. Tootles yall.
Van, I LOVED The Graveyard Book.
Lejon: Well done tweaking the nipples.
Due to odd scheduling for this week, we went grocery shopping last night instead of Friday night. I have a feeling this is going to effect the time-food continuum.
ditto: I can’t shake the feeling I know the shadows on the cave wall reference. But I can’t shake the answer out.
Morning Pan!
Downtown this morning. Hoping to duck out early enough to get a hair cut later this morning.
TEB – Nooooooooooooo! Don’t do it!
Why not, NS? It’s not like I’ll lose my strength or something ;)
It’s fairly short at the moment any way and is at the point I’m starting to look a little shaggy.
Hare cut…
LOL –
I kill myself…
As long as someone does it, Wolf. the killing I mean
I’ve killed three reams of paper so far today and the slaughter continues.
There, I’ve done my bit towards deforestation.
Well Pan, I think I’m going to pack it up and head home.
It’s getting close to nine, here. Approx an hour to get home. By the time I get my hair cut it will be getting close to lunch time. Maybe I’ll pick up a deer burger on the way home since it’s right next door to the haircutter’s.
See you after lunch!
Van: I still enjoy YA so long as they are well written.
i: Plato
Started playing Arkham Asylum yesterday. It has the voice cast from the animated series. Excellent so far.
I was looking forward to a shaggy bunny story.
TEB has chopped down the largest tree in the forest WITH … A counting!
CRUNCH!
Now, let’s make her bring the Deadpan … A SHRUBBERY !
Van shouldn’t that be shagging bunny?
WNDRWolf: The hare killing the wolf?
ditto: Duh. Thanks. That was killing me.
*must*control*tongue*….
*steers clear of Ed’s tongue*
*wonders why he’s talking between asterisks*
Learned <ctrl><enter> for browser’s from Cj, on a whim, looked up any other cool commands
found:
<ctrl><enter> adds www. and .com in both IE and FireFox
HOWEVER:
<shift><enter> adds www. and .net only in FireFox
AND
<ctrl><shift><enter> adds www. and .org only in FireFox
My surfing speed at work has increased i guess…
Back!
Had quite the adventure. The girl cutting my hair had morning sickness, she had to stop every few minutes and give her stomach time to settle. Then, when she was finally done my hair, she goes, “does that look straight?”
Seriously? Doesn’t she get a special education to figure that out herself? That would be like me asking her if a column of numbers was added correctly.
Then, I found out the burger place removed venison from their menu. Had elk instead.
*adding words in asterisks because that seems to be the thing to do*
It is a good thing you got your hair cut before next weekend, Bunny. The Style Police at Sci-Fi Cons can be harsh.
I don’t guarantee anything, Jack, given the problems the stylist was having.
Isn’t that next weekend?
CP: Jacqueline — Franz Ferdinand
Yup, ditto. Leave next Thursday.
Leaving on a jet plane..
Flying is fun. There are several cool games you can play!
I like to sit at a window seat. Then I pick a number – this being a 3.5 hour flight, I’ll go with 6 – then I get up to either “stretch my legs” or “go to the bathroom”. I try to see if I can reach my chosen goal before somebody in the rest of the row says something :)
(I’m kidding, honest)
Wait a minute! ditto, you already know this, you’re going to be there, too.
Spotted this morning on Twitter:
TeeMonster: Working backwards through @jackmangan’s Deadpan is quite…surreal. It’s like crossing the streams.
TEB: yep. I fly in on Thursday and leave Monday.
Who’s the Statpuff Marshmallow Man?

uh… not me. ;)
I am not fluffy enough.
Holy crap. Must straighten up the place.
*scritches WNDR behind the ears*. You feel pretty fluffy to me, wolf ;)
No Rhettro. Only Zuul.
That’s so Zuul. ;)
So one would think, until getting eaten by a giant slore.
Many Shubs and Zhools knew what it was like to be roasted in the belly of a Slore that day, I can tell you.
Alright, this guy is toast…
One has to ask why LJ has been feeling as if he’s going backwards of late.
Cuz it’s Rhettro! ;)
Anybody seen Cj today? Hope she’s feeling ok and not all headachy again.
Bunny, her Twitter account says: “Going offline for a few days. Will not be on IM or Twitter. If you need to reach me, please e-mail or call me.” I also hope everything is ok.
OK, done with Twitter for the day.
T.E.B. Watched MirrorMask last night, been feeling kind of… odd…
We’re only making plans for nojeL. . .
nice on Jack :)
Boy the e-mails are going back and forth fast and furious on the DiscWorld Con volunteer board.
I always got the impression TP was in essence a bit of a nobody in the USA, was I wrong?
I realise that the con actually happening means he must have some fans in the USA..
When houses get “TP’ed” in the UK, does one throw copies of Disc World all over?
They actually reached their registratin cap, Van and stopped accepting new peeps about a month ago. Does that answer your question? Also, earlier in the year Neil Gaiman talked about the con on his blog.
T.E.B. does a gown come with that cap?
Eah LJ…as in night
Van: Well, there’s always a copy each of many (not necessarily all) of the Discworld novels on the shelves in major bookstores.
Discwhat?
:razz:
Don’t get me started on my love for Small Gods, I could bore for England on that one.
Shouldn’t you be in bed, Van?
Supper time here.
Bedtime soon, been in the wars, ripped the skin off my heel earlier on today..I tend to bleed profusely..blood all over the place.
I hasten to add that I didn’t intentionaly ripoff the skin, but has a bit of an accident.
-has +had
eeewww.
Heal quickly
Ok, I’m gone for the night.
*Tucks Pan in and kisses it on the forehead*
Good night, mush.
mmm
I’m suddenly feeling all snuggly. :)
If Van gets started on Small Gods, does he end up in China?
I rattle my toothpicks in your direction NS.
Oh and if you haven’t noticed NS, there is a new DP episode.
Jack, why for you do comments that way. Do you hate me?
EB: My non-deadpan name is Jesse, but I haven’t even put skype on my computer yet, so it wasn’t me that tried to call you. Sorry.
All: Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately. New job + New house + Manuscript Revisions + Dissertation writing = no fun. I haven’t had much time to read the 100+ comments a day here. I should soon be back on track.
Any word on a skype get-together during the DP get-together this weekend?
