Why call them back from heaven?
September 10th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Well, that’s certainly an interesting opening comment :)
September 10th, 2009 at 3:21 am
Three – is a magic number.
September 10th, 2009 at 3:54 am
FOUR! *ducks*
September 10th, 2009 at 4:16 am
Which ever Arizonian decided to give me this chest cold is quite welcome to take it back, thank you very much!
September 10th, 2009 at 4:18 am
I think a hot, steamy bath is now called for.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:46 am
Had a nice hot steamy bath. There’s a pot of lemon ginger tea brewing in the kitchen and I have a cheese bagel on my lap waiting to be eaten.
I think we’ll be ok
September 10th, 2009 at 4:50 am
Seems to me that the proper thing to do, would be for some Arizonian to come and warm your chest back up.
Just say’n is all.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:50 am

September 10th, 2009 at 5:19 am
I didn’t know women needed an excuse to take a hot steamy bath.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:25 am
I’m for one is grateful for that.

LOL, Van
September 10th, 2009 at 6:04 am
I’m here. Finally. Thanks, Van, the Opera Mini loads Deadpan almost instantly, while the Webkit browser that comes with the G1 chokes about 95% of the time. Curiously, most other sites work okay, so it must be a WordPress issue…
September 10th, 2009 at 6:27 am
Hi, I’m the idiot sitting in last week’s comments and wondering where everybody went. Hellllloooooo? *snert*
September 10th, 2009 at 6:36 am
Hi.
September 10th, 2009 at 6:46 am
Good morning.
I still have no a/c. It’s only 87 in the house at the moment, but I predict that will go up in the next 10 minutes and so on. So, since it was too hot to run my computer yesterday and I’m horribly behind on work, after I take these children to their schools, I’m heading to my favorite coffee shop with WiFi so I can get some work done.
What a pain in the butt!
September 10th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Look out. I’m finding all ya’all in Facebook! Bwuahahahahaha!
Listening now. mmmmmmmm interesting…
September 10th, 2009 at 7:21 am
Ok, finding isn’t quite the term as much as TRYING to find. Sheesh. Someone find me. :)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:28 am
Are you the JR in San Diego? If so, I’ve found you and will friend you.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:30 am
If you go to the Fans of Deadpan (linked above) most of us can be found there
September 10th, 2009 at 7:33 am
I did not know I was lost.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:36 am
Typical male. Won’t admit when he is lost ;)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:36 am
It has happened to me in the past NS.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:39 am
I’m lost. This isn’t an abnormal thing for me. :)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:39 am
I think I’m going to drag my computer in the living room and veg on the couch under a comfy blanket. Maybe put on a movie. We’ll see
September 10th, 2009 at 7:40 am
I “friended” someone, hopefully it’s you JR
September 10th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Oh yeah, I forgot to ask when I was out there Jack, do you play left handed or right?
September 10th, 2009 at 7:43 am
Yes, I’m now friends with TEB :)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:47 am
Sadly, I only know either nicknames of only first names. I’m looking at the group and getting confused.
Bear in mind.. this is normal :)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:50 am
I once was lost but now I’m floundering.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Actually, normal for around here is , “Bare in mind”.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:52 am
I sent you a list of suggestions based on the ones I’m friends with.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:54 am
Oh my God! Who turned up the TV to full volume before shutting it off?
ahhh, that’s better. Now… let’s see what’s on my PVR…
September 10th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I’m at the coffee shop. Time to work!
I went for a frozen coffee after all. It’s nice and cool in here.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:57 am
This is next on my PVR list
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0772172/
Looks terrible, so that’s what I’m going to watch. Will give updates.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Thanks TEB. That’ll help me a bundle :)
September 10th, 2009 at 8:01 am
So far this film has a very Canadian feel to it. And not in the good way
September 10th, 2009 at 8:03 am
What kind of single school girl, who runs around in red underwear, can afford to rent a three story house? Must have wealthy parents
September 10th, 2009 at 8:06 am
What in the world are you watching?
September 10th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Now she’s in pink underwear. Haven’t seen “the chair” yet.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:09 am
ohhh, the knife on the counter started spinning on its own. Then the toast popped up in the toaster. Scary stuff
JR, see above link.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:11 am
ok, now she’s setting up a video camera to face her bed…
now she’s climbing into bed…
now she’s… going to sleep. What a let down
September 10th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Sister thinks she’s going to attack a ghost with an iron.
This is a very disjointed film
September 10th, 2009 at 8:19 am
She spends a lot of time recording herself in bed.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:24 am
The fog tried to rape her. Really?
September 10th, 2009 at 8:26 am
well, she’s not getting her damage deposit back
September 10th, 2009 at 8:31 am
she’s been possessed. What a shock.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:38 am
It’s not so much that I won’t admit to being lost. It is more that no one seems to understand that I get lost in order to get found.
Which is why I showed up at work almost 6 hours late one night. I’d tried to take a new route and ended up in a town I’d never heard of before. Where was I? In Ware.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Oh and Van, I find it difficult to imagine a time when you didn’t have firsties. Perhaps back in the 2000 nipple days…. that was long before Trucker started cranking about … what was that? Podtaint? That’s how I found out about Deadpan. What was my point? I don’t remember. Should go back to working on sleep. Night folks.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:43 am
Well, I’m halfway through this movie and I still haven’t figured out what’s going on.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:45 am
TEB-ITs obvious to she is making ghost porn.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:46 am
AHA! Possessed broad built a torture chair.
She keeps watching the kids outside her home. Can you say foreshadowing?
September 10th, 2009 at 8:48 am
This movie alone is helping to boost the DP board nipple count
September 10th, 2009 at 8:51 am
It’s possible, wolf. She’s masturbated twice so far in this movie.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Three cups of tea so far this morning means I have to pause the movie a lot
September 10th, 2009 at 8:56 am
She’s serving her ex-boyfriend to her sister for dinner
did I mention this might be spoiler heavy
September 10th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Nipples and movie masturbation. It’s a good day at the deadpan.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Ok, squeamish moment. She heated a pair of scissors and is now branding herself.
September 10th, 2009 at 8:59 am
OK. Time to start closing down shop here. I have gotten a lot of work done. Hopefully I can write an article today from home. Gotta go pick up the little dude from school and wait for the a/c repairman some more.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Wait, sister is talking to ex-boyfriend on the phone. I thought they ate him?
Boy is this movie fractured
September 10th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Because serving the ex-boyfriend for dinner wasn’t squeamish?
She’s talking to him on the phone? Well, maybe she only ate part of him.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:02 am
screwdriver to boyfriend’s head. Now he’s dead
September 10th, 2009 at 9:05 am
Can’t have a B horror without a naked chick showing up ;)
September 10th, 2009 at 9:09 am
she FINALLY got neeked? ’bout time!
September 10th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Sister’s been put in “the chair”
September 10th, 2009 at 9:13 am
So. . . . bad movies with cannibalism and masturbation are good cures for chest colds?
Sorry to hear about the Con Crud, Bunny. It seems to have hit a few people. I think/hope I successfully resisted.
And yes, I do play left-handed. Guitar.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:15 am
bzzzz fail. My left handed hubby plays right handed
September 10th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Jack is a south paw? Wow, learn something new every day.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I always hate pimping myself, but has anyone checked out V & A Shipping?
http://jrmurdock.wordpress.com
If you have, let me know what you think :)
September 10th, 2009 at 9:18 am
ewwwwww. way too much blood going on now.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Good sister has now hogtied possessed sister on the bed. Kinky
September 10th, 2009 at 9:23 am
I was unaware of V & A Shipping, JR – - awesome! Feel free to pimp away around here. And if you’ve made a promo, send it my way.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Evil sister got away. Now has a little boy in “the chair”
September 10th, 2009 at 9:28 am
OMG the professor is over one hundred years old.
Really, this movie takes lots of left turns
September 10th, 2009 at 9:34 am
the unpossession spell didn’t work
September 10th, 2009 at 9:35 am
oh wait. sister’s been unpossessed. little boy is safe. All is well.
well… except for the dead ex-boyfriend, but I guess we can’t have everything.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Oh, surprise ending. The evil spirit is not gone. Shocked am I.
I think I need a break from that wonderful movie. Time for lunch
September 10th, 2009 at 9:44 am
Hey Jack, I haven’t been pimping as of yet. I only just started. :) I’m up to Episode #5 and figured it was time to start telling people about it. WOO WOO!
TEB, eat lunch and listen to V & A Shipping. It’s more relaxing than a B movie. :)
September 10th, 2009 at 9:44 am
If all ya’all follow me in twitter and/or FaceBook you’ll know when the episodes go live. WOO! I’m more active in twitter. I need to be more active here. Hell, I need to be more active period. LOL
September 10th, 2009 at 9:48 am
Thanks for the solo Chairpalooza, Bunny.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Left over Chinese food is teh yum.
JR. I’ve subscribed but I’m almost 30 hrs behind in my podcast listening thanks to a certain trip I just took so it’ll be a while before I get to it
September 10th, 2009 at 9:52 am
I’m in the midst of enjoying the recording from the live DOF. Interesting choices.
September 10th, 2009 at 9:53 am
No worries. It’ll be there when you’re ready. :)
September 10th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Called a/c guys to follow up. Should be here in an hour to an hour 1/2. Gave them my cell # so we can go out if we start melting while we wait.
September 10th, 2009 at 10:11 am
So… I’m sitting here with a nice cup of ice cold iced tea which is nice because it’s hot in here and I chose tea because I thought it’d be more refreshing than soda. I usually drink my soda and water throughout the day. I don’t often drink tea.
I forgot it was tea.
Picked up the cup and took a big drink. You know that feeling where you expect something to taste a certain way (In my case, I expected soda) and it’s something else? Yeah. I hate that.
September 10th, 2009 at 10:17 am
That’s almost as bad as what just happened to me.
Eating yogurt, expecting a nice, smooth spoon and I got the one that was dinged up in the garbage disposal. they need to make lip bandaids. ow!
September 10th, 2009 at 10:23 am
Nothing goes together like beer and hockey
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601082&sid=a8j61p1VaB2A
September 10th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Well, I think it’s safe to say I won’t be going to MA tonight. Blech.
September 10th, 2009 at 10:42 am
My favorite barrette just broke while IN my hair. How does that even happen?
September 10th, 2009 at 10:50 am
It just fits with the kind of day you’re having Cj :(
September 10th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Awww. Well, my day is OK. I’m not whining too much. Things could definitely be worse.
As it is, right now I am enjoying a nice cool lunch of cottage cheese and strawberries while waiting for the a/c guy who called and said he’s on his way with my needed part.
Hopefully I’ll be able to report a cold breeze within an hour! :)
September 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
“Ready?” asked Jack. “Sure, Let’s do it.” replied Thomas. The two of them grunted with strain as they lifted the gaming system from its shipping crate and onto the bar.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:30 am
wow.
That is all.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:35 am
Can I ask about the wow, Wolf
September 10th, 2009 at 11:41 am
Well I’m glad I had my tea before reading TEB’s play for play on that movie.
Is tasting acid a bad sign?
September 10th, 2009 at 11:42 am
I think they may have been on acid when writing the screenplay, Van :)
September 10th, 2009 at 11:42 am
You can ask – but I would rather surprise you in October.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:44 am
oh, one of those
September 10th, 2009 at 11:48 am
um. Yeah.
wow.
Halloween episode is shaping up…
Plus a bonus AD for release on 31th.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:55 am
“So you say this is for entertainment purposes only?” asked Deputy Tim.
“Yeah, it’s a revved up Tetris game with about 28 other little games,” said Jack.
“Give it up, Tim.” said the Sherriff good-naturedly, “You just want to play.”
Jack crouched behind the bar, working on finding power for the machine.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
WTF?
http://www.weirdasianews.com/2009/09/10/giant-robotic-teddy-bears-japans-nurses/
September 10th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Awww, I want one!
September 10th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I was thinking Bunny would probably only want that bear’s head.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Do you think it will put a warm compress on my chest?
September 10th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
LOL, Cj
September 10th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
My cat’s been sleeping in the laundry basket all afternoon. How am I supposed to fold it if she won’t get off it?
September 10th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Cat folding. Cat Origami!!!!!
September 10th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Don’t try that at home, JR
September 10th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Got ambitious and addressed envelopes – yes, that’s ambitious the way I feel right now – will drop them off at the post office tomorrow
September 10th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
The Sham Wow shill guy is now doing commercials for some sort of kitchen chopper. He’s just as weird here.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Well I’m a sucker for fiction that mentions Tetris.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
TEB: It’s called the ’slap chop’ and it used to be called something else before.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
The fact you actually know that scares me JR :)
September 10th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Ok does anybody know if there is a away to transfer contacts stored on an iPhone?
I don’t want to do a backup as I’ve been advised my power problems on the phone might be resolved by restoring the iPhone to factory default and not do a restore from backup.
Don’t fancy copying the bloody contacts by hand.
September 10th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Sorry, can’t help you Van
September 10th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Bloody contacts??
September 10th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Yeah it’s my hitlist of people who think Deckard is a replicant..it’s rather large.
cough
September 10th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I have air. Blessed air!
September 10th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Van: what about mobileME? and I thought I read somewhere that you could sinc it with outlook. I have to admit that since I have an ipod touch I havent really paid attention to the email options.
RE: getting lost, well looking at these incidents it might be safer to get lost. http://whatstheharm.net/gpsnavigation.html
Great episode everyone who was there for the Duel of the Fates. Although I have to agree Inara would have won due to her empathic precognition abilities. And boobs.
September 10th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Here I thought I’d never have time to post anythi
September 10th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
YEAH CJ!
Lejon: You almost had enough time :)
September 10th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Ah Michael Caine puts bloody in context far better than I could:

September 10th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
I’m making lasagna for dinner. I bet Garfield wishes he were my cat right now.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
But aren’t you glad your cat isn’t Garfield..so you actually get to eat the lasagne.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:34 pm
Ah, the zany madcap misadventures of America’s favorite cartoon cat.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
I’m actually feeding the kiddos early so the hubby and I can enjoy a nice dinner for two. I’m also making garlic bread – with my underworld garlic!
If only I had a bottle of wine.
Oh wait… we have beer! LOTS AND LOTS OF BEER!
You people people need to drink more.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Yay for underworld garlic bread! :-D
September 10th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Speaking of which: I’ve still got 9 plastic containers of underworld garlic salt that went unclaimed during the Deadpan Mmmmmeetup. I’d really like to send them to other Deadpanites. If you would like one, please post here and/or send me an e-mail with your address. (If you’ve participated in Secret Santa during either or both of the last two years, I already have your address.)
September 10th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
I’m dissappointed. I used all my marbles for Doodle of the Fates 2.0 and forgot to take my garlic salt with me. :(
September 10th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
That is most likely why I have an extra one sitting here, Rhettro.
The container didn’t melt during the heatwave. It’s all yours!
September 11th, 2009 at 12:29 am
Ah I see the Vampire Diaries pilot is winging it’s way across the P2P networks.
Will have to check it out.
Morning Pan, four days offs and going to give apathy a kick in the pants.
September 11th, 2009 at 1:00 am
I think I’ll take Van’s lead on VD, though I’ll probably enjoy it more. Cuz I’m a media whore.
Heh. I rhymed.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:57 am
You know the Germans, they make good stuff….
September 11th, 2009 at 2:59 am
Van,
Do the contacts in your iPhone not sync into Itunes?
Is this the point where I avoid making a snarky comment about how, as long as Google is around, my contacts are always backed up?
September 11th, 2009 at 2:59 am
Hmmm, probably not.
Well, good Friday all. The half day of work beckons.
September 11th, 2009 at 3:04 am
Nomad: Van leading on VD isn’t the kind of thing I want to follow
*cough*
September 11th, 2009 at 3:43 am
Hi from Dallas, Texas DP!
A few thoughts on my new second home. Since I’m spending so much time here, I am getting to know the lay of the land a bit.
1. Texas is a red state. It is strange to see bumper stickers like “Don’t Share My Wealth, Share My Work Ethic” (on which I may just rant out a blog post soon) and stranger to hear people talk so much about politics at work, something we are specifically instructed not to do at Evil.
2. There is a lot of great food here.
3. Even though the people in the next room had a really loud and, from the sounds of it, ambitious night, the Omni Park West is not a bad place to hang out if one is stuck in Dallas every 3rd week for a year.
4. I am sick of not visiting with you all! Evil internet policy be damned when I’m traveling!
Van, good luck with that VD. Let me know how it is – I might want to pick it up m’self.
Cj, hope you’re cooled off some!
TEB, feel better!
September 11th, 2009 at 3:55 am
I’m going to give the restore a chance, iPhone is burning through the battery pack again.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:45 am
Good Morning!
My house is somewhat cold!
I’ve actually been to Texas: San Antonio and Houston. I remember doing some bus tour of Lyndon B. Johnson’s estate or something. I was young. And of course, I remember the Alamo. It was humid there, but fun.
Enjoyed your post EssBee!
Time to pack lunches and head off to play group! Happy Friday!
September 11th, 2009 at 7:14 am
Hey! It’s morning! WOO WOO! I love it when that happens.
September 11th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Some like it hot. I like it hot.
When you’re hot, you’re hot.
When you’re not, you’re not.
I’m not.
September 11th, 2009 at 7:38 am
I have a personal policy to be away from my desk when on a break. Because sitting at my desk on a break gives an illusion that I will answer questions I do not answer questions on break because I am not a nice person willing to give up resting for you
That is all.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Wondering if Lejon is on break???
If he is here that implies he is at his desk on the computer,
if he is at his desk therefore not on break…
September 11th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Lunch for me seams to the time I get more questions than any other time. and from the IT manager no less. It is worse if I go to the Lunch room. I wish I could install wireless than at least I could sit in the car and watch Warehouse 13 (till I am cough up)
September 11th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I hope to see the basement, if I ever get to visit the Alamo.
September 11th, 2009 at 8:56 am
RE: Vampire Diaries
Thumbs down
Well for the pilot anyway, will see what the next few episodes are like. But seems just like the horrible Twilight from the pilot.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Maybe you will find Pee-Wee’s Bike
September 11th, 2009 at 9:04 am
Van, you wouldn’t want to make a rash decision about your VD.

reaper: Are you a network technician/engineer? You sound a lot like my dad, who is one. He rarely eats lunch in the teachers’ lounge, for the same reason.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:23 am
No conundrums here. I posted before I went on break, then left the building. (I really need a sequined coat when I say things like that)
September 11th, 2009 at 9:24 am
Thank you for getting the reference, reaper :)
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches for lunch, Lejon?
September 11th, 2009 at 9:27 am
jackmangan: no place to fry them here… Well-ah, Uh-huh… Thank you very much…
September 11th, 2009 at 9:33 am
Amy, I’m the network admin and I do the engineering. it is a small company so i have to ware many hats (well cloaks I am a reaper :) ) I’m glad our office I isolated from the rest of the office. People have to walk through the plant to get here so it cuts down on walk in.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Can you say “ah do bee?” I knew you could.
Yay, reaper! Another PeeWee fan.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:37 am
Playgroup was made of win this morning. 7 moms and 7 kids running amok.
The moms didn’t start running amok until after we’d finished our buckets of coffee.
Amok Amok Amok!

CJ: always got a kick out if his show growing up. I just never want to sit in front of him in a theater.
September 11th, 2009 at 9:48 am
reaper: it really depends on the theatre.
PeeWee’s playhouse originally came from a stage show that Paul Rubin put on… I’ve seen the HBO special. It’s not exactly for kids
September 11th, 2009 at 10:11 am
Lejon: I saw part of that show. it was a little disturbing and I thought it was a joke so I turned it off. Now I’m glad I did. I’m sure there was I would rather be watching on SNICK when I was that age.
September 11th, 2009 at 10:37 am
Unaired Dollhouse Episode – “Epitaph 1″. Wow!
Finally got to see it today. It will be interesting to see how this colors season 2.
September 11th, 2009 at 10:41 am
…Must…rent…Dollhouse Season 1…just for “Epitaph 1″
September 11th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Yeah Epitaph 1 was cool but downbeat.
I wonder if they can grow their audience if they stick to much to that in S2.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
reaper – I am enjoying the concept of “Death” having an I.T. department.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Lejon – where can this, so called “Epitaph 1″ be found
September 11th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Pee Wee’s Playhouse – I call myself fortunate to have seen a taped copy of the Broadway show.
It was wonderfully WRONG.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
… and I am off again, didn’t even get a chance to remove my coat!
September 11th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
JJ it’s on the DVD release of the Dollhouse boxset.
It’s also available on the P2P networks.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
It’s a very quiet Friday.
September 11th, 2009 at 12:57 pm

justa J0e: Wish I could use the scythe a little more often but they don’t let the office workers out to much…
September 11th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
reaper: you need to disguise it with a plastic palm tree next to your desk. They’ll never see it coming.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Lejon: The office needs some redecorating… let the fun (AKA carnage) begin :)
September 11th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
I think the Reaper’s office could use more cowbell.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
every office could use more cow bell!!! and I’m going to play the hell of that thing b/c it is all i can play and we don’t have many songs that have the cow bell
September 11th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
going to have to wait with the redecorating and fun… dishes…
doing dishes is a pretty good trade off I don’t have to cook and I get to eat my wife’s cooking.
She is an awesome cook.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Is it possible for the Reaper to get dishpan hands?
September 11th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
dishdeadpan hands
September 11th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I need to get garlic salt of the underworld to fix it.
September 11th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Marge, I soaked in it!
Aight folks. Off to the twestival. Yep.
September 11th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I can’t believe you went there, Jack…..
September 11th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

September 11th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Heh heh heh. :-)
Hope you had fun at the Twestival tonight, Jack! :-)
September 11th, 2009 at 11:24 pm
The twestival was a good twime.

I do my utmost to avoid taking breaks with my operators. They can’t seem to shut up and all I want on a break is to not have to listen.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:54 am
As i expected, I enjoyed VD more than Mr. Vanamonde. The setup reminds me strongly of Roswell. She’s got the wistful smile and he can switch between looking good and looking evil.
I’d give it *** with the caveat that I’m a sucker for the vampire crap. Which is to say, if you aren’t staked for vamps, subtract at least a star.

I still haven’t listened to this weeks episode – downloading now. I’ll listen while I do a few chores today.
JOe, would it be helpful, or dumb, for someone to send you shoe boxes from Colorado?

It’s like a new suit of flesh.

Ah, and this way I can give Jack more work. Sorry man!
September 12th, 2009 at 4:38 am
an imag1narynumber by any other name would still be prime in my book!
September 12th, 2009 at 4:55 am
I have nightmares about imaginary numbers sometimes… 2 for example scary!
September 12th, 2009 at 4:56 am
Thanks for the kind words, justa J0e!
September 12th, 2009 at 5:01 am
Pick a good name, i! Maybe Jack can give you an AKA.

So finally got round to seeing ‘The Time Traveller’s Wife’.
Haven’t read the novel, but the film wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
It’s WAY harder than it should be to get parts to fix your dryer.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
And I just saw District 9 and loved it.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Wow Van – thanks for those audio Neuromancer links!
imag1narynumber’s Doctor-like regeneration into Johnny Null is complete.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
That sounds like Bruce Sterling reading the abridged version.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Okay, lemme preface this by saying I made the screwdrivers way too strong.
Secondly, I’m still behind on my podcasts. I finally broke 50!
Anyhow, I’d like to pass congrats to Amy Bowen for winning best “infotainment” podcast; as I seem to recall, in my vodka-induced haze, that you are involved with 365 Days of Astronomy. I tried to just verify that, and I accidentally reloaded my Reader page, so I’m going off of memory. And you have no idea how much I’ve scrutinized this post or hit “backspace”.
Spell-check FTW!
September 12th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Thanks Jack, and thanks x 1,000,000 for working in a Dr. Who reference with my change. Hopefully I don’t yet look like Hartnell.
September 12th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I will also thank Vanamode for the find. I’ll add it to my listening lineup @ wurk. I finished seasons one and two of Arbiter Chronicles, plus the other two stories. Season one was really good, season two was way too soap-opera-y for me overall.
On a side note, I’m not being flagged as “soap-opera-y” being a misspelling.
Good night, vodka.
September 12th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Looks like a fun Saturday for imag1- Johnny Null.
September 12th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Surprised my hubby with an early birthday present – cake and all! His birthday isn’t until Oct 7, but I didn’t want him to have to wait while everyone else was playing Beatles Rockband.
He’s a happy hubby. :)
September 12th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Cj = swell!
September 12th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Johnny Null – the goodness of the Orangejuice cancels out the negatives of the vodka.
At least that is what I always tell myself.
September 12th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Wait I’m confused, there are negatives to vodka?
September 12th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Aside from the taste?
. . . . . And we’re back.
September 12th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
So … I’ve always heard hat if someone has a concussion you shouldn’t let them go to sleep because they might not wake up.
Is this true?
Hypothetically speaking, do you suppose it’s physically possible to hit my head against the top of my desk hard enough to give myself a concussion.
September 12th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Guitar picks in the house! I love the fact that Sam Ash is only 12 minutes away from my house.
September 12th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Tis been a long Saturday in this part of Deadpan land. After much delay, we finally had a birthday party for my son. And my wife is packing for a week long trip for Chicago in the morning.
We never do it easy around here.
September 12th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
JOe!!
I think you definitely could, hypothetically, hit your head hard enough for a concussion. Are your eyes dilated?!
September 12th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Not yet.
… but hypothetically, I’m not opposed to keep trying.

Funny Death is so good at a Doctor game.
September 12th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Johnny Null: Thank you very much! Yes, I have been involved with 365 Days of Astronomy. I signed up to write and record three episodes, all three of which have gone out already. I did the episodes for June 2, July 24, and August 30. I was THRILLED when I found out the show had won in its category! :-D Thanks again!
September 12th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
JØ, why the name change? Was √-1 starting to get to you?
September 12th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
Hey Amy, I heard your unboxing yesterday… Sounded like fun.
September 12th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
NS: Thank you! It was a lot of fun! :-)
September 13th, 2009 at 5:08 am
So just back from seeing White Out.
Err it was OK and nothing more, not worth seeing at the cinema.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:01 am
Jack: It was indeed a great night!
Cj: What a good wife you are!
justa J0e: I think in one of those Eat This/Not That books, that was the thinking behind recommending screwdrivers. If you’re going to drink booze, might as well get a vitamin or two in at the same time.
According to this: http://www.healthcaresouth.com/pages/askthedoctor/myths.htm , the sleeping after a concussion thing is a myth.
Lejon: No, I’ve just adopted this for the time being as my nom-de-e-plume. I have a forthcoming submission that’s the start of a new hat for me. So rather than have my new content under a different name than my nipple name, I figured it’d be easier to keep it all under the one banner.
Of course, home repairs and whatnot are pushing back my editing, but I hope to have it ready fairly soon.
Wow, that’s a lot first thing in the morning.
Can I put in a plug for Costa Rican coffee? It’s tops!
September 13th, 2009 at 6:02 am
My unboxing was when I let my gloves drop.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:14 am
I’m a big fan of any good coffee, JN.
It’s nearly winter-ish here this morning. We have a fire going and are all bundled up to go buy groceries.
I caught up on TV yesterday during my huge lazy day, so today we might just read, or catch a movie or something.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:29 am
Whish! goes the blade of whit…
September 13th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Tonight will be a nesting night for us as well. I have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Chocolate Chip Cookie may stop by.

Well, that’s just stellar. Apparently my kitchen faucet is so antiquated that no one stocks replacement valve-stem-things, or whatever you call it.

It’s a good clean meal.
Do you use the oven to wash the dishes when you are done?
September 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
No.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
I smell an evolved rat, Van. Not that we don’t have a serious problem with mind-controlled masses here pushing the Crazy Right’s agenda (ahem, Million Moron March). . .
. . . but the major studios are interested in money and nothing else. Even an arty 19th century period-piece Jennifer Connelly movie will get distribution.
I suspect the filmmakers are really just trying to drum up controversy and interest.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
RE: Dishwasher lasagna. Do you think it tastes better with Cascade or Palmolive?
September 13th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
The only difference is that the Religious Right are known to picket, condemn, boycott, sue, threaten, and, in some cases, resort to violence.
It’s sadly probably a bit more of an issue than just putting out random crappy movie du jour.
September 13th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Gotta agree with Jack.
If you were to travel back in time and video tape the “Last Supper” you couldn’t get U.S. distribution – No car chases, no gun play or explosions, no love scenes/gratuitous nudity.
There are a metric TON of independent documentaries about famous people, that never got U.S. distribution because they didn’t have any of the big 3 requirements listed above.
Sorry, no mass (pun intended) conspiratorial agenda against this film. It just isn’t what the U.S. public will pay to see.
September 13th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Dear Helouis,
My dishwasher lasagna always ends up with unsightly water spots.
Please help.
September 13th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Jø – Thanks for the info on the concussion. I could add to that info, that going the “head on desk” route just leads to a slight raised bump on your forehead and a migraine. All of which just makes your situation even MORE unbearable!
September 13th, 2009 at 2:22 pm

Flash Gordon thoughts are still welcome from anyone and everyone! Flash in the Pan will be in episode 139.
September 13th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Van – is that snow movie just a weather movie or does it have at least some element of the supernatural?
September 13th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
OK, it was my end then.
All I said was:
CNW: Flesh Gordon 1 and 2 – yet.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
It is certainly disappointing to see the growing divide over scientism vs. fundamentalism we have around here. Though, I must confess to some skepticism that absolutely no U.S. distributor will pick up this film. Perhaps, with the recent failure of films like “The Golden Compass”, in part, due to the failure of the film makers to sufficiently prod the fundamentalists into “boycotting” and producing a bunch of publicity, the potential distributors feel they’re less likely to get enough free press from outraged picketers to make a successful run.
Wow, that sentence was way too long.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Alright, enough with the heavy. This one gave me a good chuckle:

September 13th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
That’s gotta be a new record. How’d you get him to stop that quickly?
September 13th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
I was going to say – Tee must not have had much to say.
CW: Flesh Gordon (1974) so this came out 6 years before the Flash Gordon movie we watched.
September 13th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
Flesh Gordan is older than me.

I guess I’d better hurry up and rent the Flash Gordon movie again, so I can record something and send it in.
September 13th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Is it back when the company is in the process of laying off union employees and bringing in temps to help with the work load?
Yeah. That’s what I thought.

Oh dammit – - I’m dying to know Cj and Dan’s final conclusions about Flesh Gordon. . . .
September 13th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
I wonder if their conclusion is
FLASH !!! AAAA – Ahhhhhhh
September 13th, 2009 at 11:21 pm
No Supernatural elements in White Out, just a murder mystery.
September 13th, 2009 at 11:49 pm
We didn’t make it all the way through the movie…
Read into that however you like.
September 14th, 2009 at 12:03 am
I wonder if that would qualify as Flush Gordon.

September 14th, 2009 at 4:04 am
I must admit I only skimmed the article. If that’s what they’re claiming, that NO distributor will put the movie out, then I too call shenanigans (and hang my head for the reading *fail*).
But “scientism”? That’s a new one on me. :-)
September 14th, 2009 at 4:59 am
Morning Pan
Feeling almost human today. Had to go downtown this morning. Blech.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:59 am
Isn’t there also a Flesh Gordon and the Cosmic Cheerleaders?
We made it through Flash Gordon last night, but I think I owe Sly B something big for endurance.
Back to Evil today — enjoy your days, DP!
September 14th, 2009 at 5:09 am
Started listening to Wander Radio on the train downtown. It’s cool because I can now put a face to Dan Shaurette’s voice.

Morning EssBee. Have “fun” at Evil Inc.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:11 am
I totally agree, J0e ;)
September 14th, 2009 at 5:14 am
Hmmm
EssBee is giving me 2nd thoughts. I had convinced a date to watch FG with me (we just haven’t been able to work out a time yet) … now I’m thinking that this could be a bad idea.
I have seen this film before … but it was decades ago and I just remember it as being “B grade – Camp”.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:19 am
I guess it depends upon the date, J0e. I would have thought it a fun date movie, but I can think of a few friends who would not.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:20 am
Thanks Bunny!
That was a fun conversation. That was edited down from a 3 hour conversation… OMG.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:23 am
Well if the date would dump you over a film, it was not meant to be.
Unless that film is ‘On Deadly Ground’ that it would be understandable
September 14th, 2009 at 5:24 am
-that +than
September 14th, 2009 at 5:25 am
We were going over my hubby’s schedule last night. He has the poor taste of having his Spring Break over a month end. That means no travelling together until summer.
Of course, it could be moot anyway. Because of her age, we can’t leave our cat alone anymore (too much medication, etc), so if we can’t get a house sitter, than we won’t be travelling much together until she passes away :(
September 14th, 2009 at 5:26 am
Now I want to see On Deadly Ground, Van :)
September 14th, 2009 at 5:28 am
I once had the poor judgment to take a date to see “Sin City”
September 14th, 2009 at 5:32 am
The first date movie my hubby and I had was Stargate. I thought it was a great date movie.
September 14th, 2009 at 5:49 am
Well Pan, done with my downtown work. Going to close it down and head home.
Later!
September 14th, 2009 at 6:13 am
Morning, Pan.
Robocop is not a romantic date movie.
September 14th, 2009 at 6:34 am
So that’s where I’ve been going wrong.
September 14th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Morning! I took a date to see “The Road to El Dorado”. We had some interesting conversations because of that. :)
September 14th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Sigh. The end of a vacation is a tragic thing.
*sob*
;)
September 14th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Back home. At least for a little while. Will be sneaking out to ticket master once they open.
A couple of friends and I are planning a girls night out in early November (yes, our schedules are that busy we have to plan that far in advance). The one girlfriend and I are going to take the other to her first hockey game. Should be interesting.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:05 am
Show her “Sin City” instead. There’s less violence.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:13 am
… and blood.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:14 am
… Hockey games may have slightly less gratuitous nudity.
Slightly …
If you keep your focus down on the ice and out of the stands.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:18 am
I took a girlfriend to see The Lawnmower Man. I never got to pick a movie again. It was a very dark 4 1/2 years of moving watching. My wife still has me watching good movies I missed from that time.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:19 am
Yeah J0e, but the male nudity are usually by people I don’t really want to see naked ;)
September 14th, 2009 at 7:41 am
My husband is ok with me picking movies, simply because he knows I’m not a big fan of the “chick flick”

Naked Hockey could be frighting. I have a 4 inch scar on my back from a skating with my brother when he slid in to me after I fell. His skates where not even that sharp. I hate to think what that could do to other body parts.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:45 am
I have a broken nose from hockey.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:45 am
So you were skating naked, reaper?
September 14th, 2009 at 7:45 am
I don’t have a problem with my wife picking movies. She loves action movies and isn’t a fan of chick flicks.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Girls that like action flicks FTW !!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 7:53 am
TEB: No, I wasn’t quite that crazy when I was a kid. Well maybe I was that nuts, but no one dared me to. If I was naked I might have had more worries about frost bit than sharps things. Wisconsin gets pretty cold and windy.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:54 am
The first time I went to a Hockey game I was surprised to discover that there is such a thing as Hockey groupies. Perhaps there is another name for these girls but with some of these gals I found their attire to be pleasantly gratuitous.
Will others … not so much with the pleasant.
I guess they had hopes of snaring them a hockey player.

Ok, really gone.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Holy shit, are we actually back? That was a supremely uncool outage. Sorry everyone.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Wow. What happened. That was a very long outage.

True or false?

As opposed to puck buddies.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
False. (right?)
There was apparently a bad HD on the FPM server. I hope we see some stability from here on out. . .
I once overruled a bunch of decent movie choices on a double-date +1 and got us all to go see Cool World. End result: four other people ticked off at me.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
What was that about your nuts while skating naked, reaper?
September 14th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
JOe, re: ^, I would have expected you to go there. What happened?!
September 14th, 2009 at 4:05 pm

So if Puck Bunnies are into hockey players, I wonder what that means for Energizer Bunnies. . . .
I’ll leave you to rub your chins and ponder that for awhile.

Definitely something to fry up your brain on, Jack.
Also glad to see things back to “normal”. I missed my lunch time fix.

True, I saw blurbs about Swayze in a few places, but he seems to have been lost in the tantrum.. But then, a mention in the media at all is far more than most anyone else ever gets.

A friend of mine took his GF (now wife) to the The Talented Mr. Ripley. After about 30 minutes people started to leave. They wanted to see if anyone would make it to the end. He told me only one other couple made it. He asked them why they stayed and there reason was also to see if anyone else could endure the movie.

On a note of TMI: my neck down to the decolletage is covered with a freakish and very painful red rash.
I want to scratch my skin off. Clearly an allergic reaction to something and I have no idea what. I purchased some hydrocortisone which was no easy task because most of them now include aloe vera which I’m allergic to. I’ll be taking some Benedryl after I pick my daughter up from school. I can’t drive after I take it because it makes me loopy. (loopier than usual)

The lights are working, they’re just not attached to anything yet. Still working on the under garment and corset. It’ll be awhile before the gown is completely finished. Maybe tomorrow I’ll scan in the picture of what the final product will look like (sans lights). Just not at my computer right mow.

Nomad, are you eating Mountain Dew-flavored ice cream?
September 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
It’s ok to laugh at my rash. It does look kinda funny. If nothing else, I am pretty sure Dan is happy with the fact that I’ve been wearing a low cut tank top all day because clothes make it itch worse.
(I don’t think he’s looking at the rash)
September 15th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
If it is still spreading, I am no longer amused either. I hate to suggest it, but perhaps it would be a good idea to make a visit to the doctors in the morning.

This summer has been such a total push over, I’m kinda concerned that the winter is going to be pretty bad. I’m usually okay with it, as long as the temperature doesn’t dip below 30F (below 0C). After that everything hurts.
September 15th, 2009 at 11:34 pm

My personal computer has locked up for the third time today. If I can get it up and running I’m going to try a virus check. Of course that means, no updating my podcasts :(
September 16th, 2009 at 5:06 am

Hey TEB – did you hear? LLAP is getting a Brazillian !
*runs joke into the ground*

I’ll probably repeat that joke about a brazillian times.

reaper, I know how to over ride the filter but right now it’s more trouble than it’s worth, and when I do, I can’t access the Toronto hard drive where most of my files are stored.
It’s a complicated, convoluted system
September 16th, 2009 at 5:30 am

September 16th, 2009 at 5:33 am
TEB: I like to keep thing simple. But my company is small so we have to. When your IT technical staff is 2 people convoluted is very bad.
September 16th, 2009 at 5:34 am
My company is international. Also, with me telecommunting – I live in Calgary but work in Ontario – it tends to complicate things.

September 16th, 2009 at 5:43 am
I honestly don’t know how many people are in the IT department, reaper. The only time I’ve ever spoke to them was when I started and they were getting my VPN up and running. (And once in a while when I forget my ever changing password :) ).
Once in a while I get an e-mail about leaving my system on so they can push through an update, but that’s about it.
I suppose this actually speaks well of them. The last thing I want is to be constantly on the phone with IT because of problems

Okay, THAT was no fun.
My cell phone just had structural failure with the bit that should hold the “flip up” part in place.
I managed to stabilize the 2 pieces before the cable broke and then holding the pieces in one hand I painstakingly went through my address book and painstakingly hand copied EVERY contact and phone number. I managed to get the last number copied JUST before the battery died.
So … fix or replace phone. There’s something I hadn’t counted on for today’s schedule! :(

It’s a start, Scry. You can come clean my two bathrooms. Although the one doesn’t need much as it’s only used when we have company.

What’s this “virus check” you speak of? :-))
September 16th, 2009 at 7:04 am
JN, I usually do a full service on my system about once a month. Usually at the beginning of the month I’ll do a back up, a virus check, run Adaware, disc cleanup, defrag, and go through and remove old files. Not necessarily in that order.
But because my computer is acting stupid, I’m doing another virus check now. So far at 38% and nothing found. I suppose that’s a good thing but I almost wish it does find something, otherwise I have to either figure out a different reason my system keeps locking up.
September 16th, 2009 at 7:05 am

I don’t know what I do differently, but for the past two years I ran my desktop with no firewall, no AV, no anti-anything and managed to catch a malicious cookie.
My wife, on the other hand, with her computer sitting two feet away and sporting AV, anti-stuff, and a personal firewall, managed to end up twice with virulent infections that required clean wipes of the system.
After the second time, I got paranoid and installed all the gadgets on my system too, but … really? I don’t understand. -I- am the curious one poking around the questionable edges. ??

September 16th, 2009 at 8:36 am
How strange. They screwed the wall clock into the box. I can see no other purpose for these screws other than to keep the clock in the box. I’m very confused.
September 16th, 2009 at 8:39 am
Ack! Even with a stool I’m too short to put the clock on the wall. I wanted to surprise hubby and have it up when he got home. I guess that’s not going to happen :(

Maple syrup and banana…a slightly nauseous combination.

September 16th, 2009 at 9:57 am
Fingers crossed it’s can be fixed with ointment.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:02 am
Get well soon! The closest I came to that kind of experience was an allergic reaction to honey.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:07 am
I’m guessing it’s one of three possible things:
Most likely is that I was cold the other night and wore some warm jammies that I haven’t worn since winter. the rash matches the neckline. Maybe I washed them in something unfriendly before putting them away? or maybe they weren’t completely dry somehow? Dan used the word “spores” kinda grossed me out!
Second is a new body spray I just bought. It was expensive and spells delicious and I will cry if I have to return it. I have used it on arms and legs… it’s a body oil spray so I’m not likely to have sprayed it on my neck area… oil + skin near face=bad idea
Third is a medication I’ve been taking… it’s not listed as a side effect under the “common” area, but it is under the “contact a doctor immediately if you experience this..” area.
If it’s not one thing…

Have you? Is it the game-changer it’s hyped to be?
September 16th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Game changer? I wouldn’t call it that, but it is excellent.
It has a good story, with a lot of depth. Plus there are a number of things that could only be pulled off in a visual format. Everything is important, including the color scheme and the drawing styles.
I think it is very much worth reading. In fact, I would put it on my short-list of best graphic novels. But, it would be best if you ignore the hype.

Also bought a new shower head for our bathroom. New wire strippers (ours seem to have gone missing), beer, and twill tape.
Now to play handyman and get everything installed, including a new full length mirror for the guest room I got as one of my doo dahs earlier this morning.

Home from the doctor. Nothing surprising about the visit. He said allergic reaction to something. He did note that the areas affected both have more sun access than any other of my body parts. My skin is extremely sensitive to the sun and I have been spending a LOT more time in the sun lately with the walking to school and waiting around outside at the school stuff.
So, he gave me an Rx for Cortisone pills and told me to take Zyrtec and use cortisone cream. He also mentioned that Cold packs: good.. hot water: bad.
Noted.
September 16th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Maybe the doctor should have told me not to scratch?
He didn’t say I couldn’t.

So I’ve got this new shower head. It has a hose, the head, two rubber washers and some joint tape. And absolutely no instructions on how it all goes together. It says on the package “easy to install” Grr. I have three joints and two rubber washers, which joints do the washers go on?
I repeat, grrrr.

touche.

I thought we’d moved beyond double entendres by now and were at least hitting triples.

I’m having one of those oh-gawd-i-wish-i-had-not-eaten-that moments.
It was good at the time though. mmmmmm.

I’m going to drink a diet sprite now.

And what was the delicious thing, Cj?

If the band is Malicious Cookie, can we do a cover of the Cookie Monster version of Limp Bizkit’s Nookie?
I did it all for the cookie, the cookie, so you can ….

Re: TEB’s Clock.
I have had a few children’s toys that were literally screwed into the box. I understand making sure things meet marketing approval (bloody morons) and trying to prevent theft, but this practice does seem a bit obsessive.

Oh. … I see Jack already made the Cookie Monster allusion. Oops.

Lejon : Something seems… wrong with that ice cream recipe. I vaguely remember cooking a huge pot of something prior to using it to make the ice cream when I was 7-ish.
And lots and lots and lots of cranking. My arm hurts just remembering.

I like my Ubuntu remix install because I am getting my toes wet in the Linux pool without having to do the full on plunge the way you had to 10 years ago.
I had a RedHat install up for a few hours once. I knew it was lame of me, but I missed having a visual workspace and I couldn’t get the x server to stop hanging… so I went back to Windows. Nowadays, I seriously think Ubuntu is actually easier and simpler (though still different) than Windows.
Someday I will be rich enough to try out an Apple product and see if my opinion changes.

FWIW = First Wheel Is Wasted. Popping a wheely on either a bicyle or tricycle is riding FWIW.

Those antittheft plastic cases are truly evil.

Lejon – No impaling of the Wolf…. Thank you very much.
