Morning Pan just Finished Kronos on my way in:

The reading was a little fast for me sometimes but I really enjoyed the book.
Maybe it is time to re-listen to Spherical Tomi

Yawn.
Growl.

Twix milkshake = ugh
the chocolate crispy bits were nice though.

7. Is there a Doctor in the house?
September 17th, 2009 at 3:22 am
Now that I have cough up with Deadpan I like the nipple reading way more.
I always thought “wow that could be a lot better in context” Now I fondly remember the context and in some cases realize just how bad of a speller I am.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:36 am

10 here I am!
September 17th, 2009 at 4:08 am
This one goes up to eleven.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:08 am
Wait, I said that one before. Man, I’ve already gotten stale.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:10 am
Nomad Scry: I’m glad to hear that your Linux experience has improved. It has become really pretty easy to use in the vast majority of instances. And man is it fast compared to Windows.
The Mac OS is built up off of BSD. There’s a BSD out there that runs as a LiveCD.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:13 am
Stale jokes are ok… Stay away if they turn green or get fuzzy

Catching up on comments from yesterday and this morning…
LeJon – No impaling the Wolf.
Yeah i think it was worth repeating.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:54 am
Morning Pan!
What happened to the unshow?
September 17th, 2009 at 5:08 am
I think it grew up and became a real show. or it proved his worth like Pinocchio.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:17 am
There is a place you could go with that..but I won’t
September 17th, 2009 at 5:18 am
The anti-unshow
September 17th, 2009 at 5:27 am
Van: but going there is 1/2 the fun… or is it driving there… hmm i don’t know i don’t do metaphors
September 17th, 2009 at 5:36 am
reaper – At the Deadpan, “going there” isn’t a drive – it’s a short putt.
September 17th, 2009 at 5:46 am
I’m up for a March DP Meet up. Month end doesn’t fall on a weekend at all in March so any time is good for me. Although hubby has report cards the first two weeks so it’ll likely just be me again. But that’s ok, I’m the cuter of the two of us ;)
September 17th, 2009 at 5:49 am
Cj, I had a couple of eggs, basted, this morning and thought of you. It’s strange how some conversations stick in your memory.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:02 am
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=10119&uid=120673555584#/group.php?gid=120673555584
Spoke to hubby. Hypothetically, he could take March 26th off. However (and it’s a big however) we still have the problem in that we have a kitty we can’t leave alone and hates people. May still just be me.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Now time to change gears and listen to LLAP :)
September 17th, 2009 at 6:17 am
Cj, has a gurgly throat
September 17th, 2009 at 6:26 am
I almost feel guilty because I’m listening to LLAP drinking blueberry tea, not Earl Grey
September 17th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Someone scratch Jonny Null and check his best before date.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:29 am
This is the Deadpan. We are nothing if not unpredictable.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:30 am
Bread gun? Why not just use a replicator?
September 17th, 2009 at 6:30 am
At least Cj doesn’t have a googly throat.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:30 am
A bread gun is extreeeeemly dangerous when using Dwarven fighting bread.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:32 am

Yes, Data is “fully functional”
September 17th, 2009 at 6:40 am
So… would that be a data stream?
September 17th, 2009 at 6:42 am
Does Data have a backdoor?
September 17th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Data doesn’t want a bad case of the worms, so he has strong intrusion detection.
September 17th, 2009 at 6:43 am

September 17th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Heavy Metal is not for kids
September 17th, 2009 at 6:49 am
Doesn’t the actress that plays Faith in Buffy do the voice for the main character in Wet?
September 17th, 2009 at 6:50 am
I dunno TEB, the covers are pretty..
September 17th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Van, I mean little kids, adult kids don’t count ;)
September 17th, 2009 at 6:55 am
Van: Yes. I personally don’t really care for her. I like Sierra much more. :)
Rrrrrrrooooooooooow!
September 17th, 2009 at 6:56 am
The first Heavy Metal was pretty good, I though. The other, not so much.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:00 am
because “pound” puppies are not sexual?
September 17th, 2009 at 7:09 am
It’s better than go pound sand. ;)
September 17th, 2009 at 7:10 am
Rootbeer cake is Teh awsome
September 17th, 2009 at 7:10 am
TEB has just ruined a small part of reapers childhood.

September 17th, 2009 at 7:13 am
Would the female version of “beefcake” be “pound cake” ?
September 17th, 2009 at 7:13 am
Cj, Sara is too young to “get down on her knees and play”
September 17th, 2009 at 7:18 am
And now for something different…
Jack: I liked the new song a lot. Thanks!
September 17th, 2009 at 7:21 am
I didn’t think I was overripe yet.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Thumbing through the Deadpan FB page, I noticed that my flash fiction is in this episode (Thanks Jack!). This is the first thing I’ve written since junior high. I would like some critiques if you please. And I can take constructive criticism.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:28 am
“I can take constructive criticism.”
OK, measure twice and cut once.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:28 am
JN, the joists were strong but the plumbing should have more pipes…
oh wait, different construction
No, it was good :)
September 17th, 2009 at 7:29 am
oh, I thought you said “construction” criticism.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:29 am
boy, are we predictable or what?
September 17th, 2009 at 7:29 am
So Cj, the show notes mentioned the DPmmmmmm gathering, but the show didn’t. Just sayin ;)
September 17th, 2009 at 7:30 am
J0e and I obviously think alike
September 17th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Reaper is sad. His wife just informed him “My Name is Earl” isn’t going to be on this year.
Reaper now feels like Grimlock. Me Reaper is a much happier now.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Me Reaper needs more sleep or Tea…
September 17th, 2009 at 7:42 am
Just don’t sleep in your tea, reaper or else you’ll sound like Cj.
September 17th, 2009 at 7:42 am
I need milk. Must step out and purchase cow juice.
Later
September 17th, 2009 at 7:48 am
Here I was thinking, “Wow, it’s almost spooky, like she’s speaking directly to me, then…”
September 17th, 2009 at 7:56 am
Hey reaper, they cancelled “Reaper” too, hope that doesn’t weigh too heavily on you…
September 17th, 2009 at 8:12 am
JohnBoze: It was actually a relief we kept running in to dead ends with the stories and it seams like a good idea to finely kill it… can’t seam to squeeze another death reference out of that one… might be beating a dead horse…
September 17th, 2009 at 8:19 am
I guess it’s curtains then.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I feel November is underrated.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:29 am
TEB is out juicing Cows?
Well the cows can not play in the MLB now…
September 17th, 2009 at 8:31 am
What with Thanksgiving and Black Friday….er, well maybe not then.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:47 am
I thought “Earl” was a funny concept and the first season had something special about it … then it was as if the producers said “Okay! Now that we’ve made it we no longer have to be creative … let’s replace all the writers with the “Sitcom Script-bot 2000″.
I don’t know if they DID actually change writers but the show became drastically like all the other “product” that was on the air.
September 17th, 2009 at 8:57 am
[h1]oink.cough[/n1]
September 17th, 2009 at 8:59 am
In a way nice to see the back of Earl and Reaper, new shows coming this year are looking good.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:05 am
I will mostly miss “Earl” because it was one of the few comedies I could watch with the family. Randy doing something dumb or Earl not having his eyes open for any pictures, for us, never got old; you didn’t have to understand some obscure concept. Most everything out there is hard to watch because we have to stop and explain (we don’t really mind doing that) or stop and tell my son to quit doing something annoying or obnoxious because he is taking something too far. It was a show we normally would pause because we where laughing to hard…
September 17th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Van: You have a very good point I am pretty excited for the new fall lineup too
September 17th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Jack: Are we to assume that you’re ill?
September 17th, 2009 at 9:11 am
*throws up hands runs away in hysterics yelling “Swine flu has infected Deadpan The End is Nigh”*

hurm……………………
September 17th, 2009 at 9:22 am
And btw, JN (since you asked): I thought the story was solid. Good visuals.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:28 am
Thanks. That means a lot. Especially as I know you put a lot into your own visuals. My stomach got all knotted up when I saw it came out in this episode.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Jack Mangan: Thank you for being.
September 17th, 2009 at 9:55 am

Okay, I don’t like to bitch about my job, largely because I hate it and I don’t know when I’d stop. However, I just got an e-mail from my boss with a pdf showing how to do some really top-quality work fairly easily. Stuff that would be really great to do. His sole comment was “This looks interesting.”. Yes, it looks very interesting. However, it’s abundantly clear that this REQUIRES equipment that would easily run in excess of $50k. I had to wrangle with him for over a year to get a $10 part. (*censored mumblings*)
Ah, I feel better now.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:06 am
Yes Jø.
Nicely done short.

September 17th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Thanks much justa J0e.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Jø – you should craft an EXCITED response to your boss about the pdf and ask if he has already put in the request for funding for the equipment or would like you input on which bits of equipment to get. Then watch him squirm as he has to explain that he didn’t mean you WERE going to be getting this new equipment and has to basically admit that he has given you less then the necessary tools needed to “do the job right”.

I just committed myself to attending Comicon in July in San Diego.
I get to be beyond excited for the next 10 months while I wait for it to get here.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:37 am
Bunny,
I thought we talked about the BBQ and the gathering on LLAP… that’s what I get for writing show notes 3 days after recording. Meh.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Oh and a very late good morning to everyone.
It’s been a crazy day for me so far. I’m looking forward to some sitting here and staring at the air for the next 15 minutes.
breathe in
breathe out
tick tock tick tock
I need to listen to the newest Deadpan episode. Must put son down for nap and do just that.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:48 am
CJ: You’ll be in SD for Comicon? Let me know when you get into town :)
September 17th, 2009 at 11:53 am
JR: Yep. I’ll be there. It has been inked.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:56 am

I usually catch up on the days nipples through Google Reader, so Jack’s nipple was just big and bold. I am so happy that I just came straight here today and got to see a big “empty” nipple first.

September 18th, 2009 at 5:11 am
Time to clean the bathroom. Oh joy.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:28 am
When life gives you lemons … add some almonds, sugar and dough !
September 18th, 2009 at 5:51 am
Or When life gives you lemons add some chemicals like bleach and ammonia and start cleaning. hmmm not nearly as much fun…
September 18th, 2009 at 5:52 am
Stupid squirrels are playing race track on my roof
September 18th, 2009 at 5:55 am
TEB Thats no fun you can’t watch them. The squirrels do that on my oak trees. I could watch them for hours.
September 18th, 2009 at 5:58 am
Yeah reaper, when they decide to do it on the trees in the front yard it’s fun to watch my cat watch them out the window
September 18th, 2009 at 6:00 am
TEB I hear that! Watching my dog watch the squirrels is almost as fun as just watching the squirrels. :)
September 18th, 2009 at 6:04 am

But I like the squirrels, JN :(
Cj, I still say I’m making funny faces.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:18 am
I think the birds need to repair their GPS. I just saw a flock of them flying north
September 18th, 2009 at 6:19 am
TEB: Ooops, then my apologies. Left a funny image in my twisted mind, though.

We have both the black rat looking squirrels and the cute fuzzy brown squirrels. They seem to hate each other and it’s amusing to watch them battle it out for supremacy. Unfortunately the black ones usually win as there are more of them.

I agree, Borat was 99% drek. I think it’s in a stealth-genre. It’s so stealthy I don’t know what it’s called. A movie that sucks, but talking about it after is vaguely enjoyable. I include Napoleon Dynamite in this class.
September 19th, 2009 at 8:45 am
JN: Napoleon Dynamite at least didn’t have naked wrestling. I think they are both terrible movies with some (few) really good parts but I could never watch Borat again. Napoleon Dynamite i can at least sit through as long as I have a laptop with me.
September 19th, 2009 at 9:20 am
I too think Napoleon Dynamite was waay overhyped.
FWIW – here is my take on ND.
The formula behind most of the big hit, cult, teen angst films like “Pretty in Pink”, “Sixteen Candles”, “Better of Dead” … is that the nerdy outcast kids struggle for an 60 minutes or so and finally get the best of the popular/jock/cheerleader crowd and end up winning the girl/guy/head cheerleader/star athlete/entire schools admiration. They do this by being smarter/more clever/ more talented and generally, more human.
So, imagine you actually were the popular/jock/head cheerleader back in High School. Now for some reason or another you are an adult who now produces feature films. You want to try to cash in and make one of those teen angst films for a new generation … but because you were the guy who was shoving all the nerd into their lockers when you were in school … you never really “got” the point of those movies. In fact you probably didn’t really care for them that much because you thought that the REAL hero’s in the movies were always being demonized.
Anyway, now you are going to make one of those movies but since you never really “got it”, your nerd heroes will win the day but still be portrayed as hopeless, backward retards whose victory was basically a fluke and who might have won the day but will obviously never amount to anything else because they are such LOSERS.
The result is Napoleon Dynamite. A film made by the guys who were the very jerks in high school that these films usually portrayed as the protagonists.
But what do I know.
September 19th, 2009 at 10:41 am
I didn’t get NP. I mean, I UNDERSTOOD it, but I didn’t see the humor.
We just got home from Borders, where I picked up The Other Lands, Book 2 in the Acacia series by David Anthony Durham. I can’t recommend book 1 enough, and can’t wait to read this one (but have to finish #6 of the Dresden Files first). We were the only ones there not buying the new Dan Brown book. That guy is raking the cash in.
September 19th, 2009 at 11:01 am
justa J0e: Wow, that was a very insightful, thorough wad of insight.
I can say that I was very much the class nerd and often waved that flag quite high.
September 19th, 2009 at 11:21 am
WOOPS.
In reading back over my post I see I made a big error,
“A film made by the guys who were the very jerks in high school that these films usually portrayed as the protagonists.”
SHOULD HAVE READ
A film made by the guys who were the very jerks in high school that these films usually portrayed as the antagonist.

Armchair Hero
“You wanna talk? you wanna go?
From your armchair things you know
Secret plans, conspiracy
Little people all around
You curse love, you curse hate
You curse you life, you curse your face
Whatever you can be
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
Narrow-vision, that’s the way
It finally helps you through the day
Too many reasons to believe
No time to understand
The clock is ticking like bomb
Subversive things that’s going on
Your only certainty
If only you could learn
Victim gravel on your knees
Victim of your own disease
Make my day, why don’t ya?
From your armchair, you’re a hero
Screaming beauty, suicide
So cynical, you never tried
To understand the reasons
From your armchair you’re a hero”

It was very interesting to spend an entire two-hour premiere with an almost entirely brand-new supporting cast except for the one phone call to Wilson. However, the episode ended with House being discharged from the psychiatric hospital (yay!), and the preview for the rest of the season showed him and the whole gang back together at Princeton-Plainsboro, so we do have more of the same to look forward to. Another thought: Although House mentioned during the season premiere that he was no longer having hallucinations, I was very surprised that the episode didn’t actually show him dealing with/getting rid of the imaginary Amber and Kutner who appeared in the Season 5 finale. Perhaps those issues haven’t been completely resolved…? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
September 22nd, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Mreh? I didn’t know anything about that. Searching through Google News, I can find info on the charges in 2001, but nothing about a conviction or deal or anything really.
No wait, the charge was dropped and he plead to obscenity.
That’s sad. I’m not sure if I can feel relieved that the best death scene EVAR is untainted. Maybe.

As much as I loved the previous Pee-Wee Herman stuff, I don’t think even Paul Reubens can pull off that character at age 55. Let’s leave Pee-Wee as a great memory instead of one that we’re sad to see beaten into the ground.
When Reubens was arrested, was Pee-Wee’s Pee-Wee Wee, or Un-Wee? Maybe some things are best left to the unknown.

As I recall, the particulars in Pee Wee’s big porn adventure was that he had a very large, vintage porn collection. We’re talking “turn of the century”, very early 1900’s type stuff. Some of it bought in auction lots from larger collections.
For reasons that were never clear to me, the local D.A. (the same one who prosecuted him for wanking in a porn theatre maybe ??) raided his home, confiscated the collection and after going through it all – found a nearly, century old book that had re-enactments of the original Greek Olympics. This included pictures of young men, probably teens, wrestling (no, not a euphamism … they were actually wrestling). Of course as we all know, the original Olympiads competed in the nude. Those whacky Greeks!.
This is probably why the “child pornography” charges against him were eventually dropped. There was very little content in his collection that included under aged people and given that all those involved in making the images had been dead for quite some time it was going to be very difficult to prove the ages of the boys in those wrestling scenes. There was also a good chance that the defense could make an argument that the vintage and rarity of this stuff could actually be classified it as art.
Sooooo, while Paul Reubens is clearly not a “normal” character (and quite possibly IS a visitor from another planet who has been stranded here) … if it makes you feel any better about him, the charges against him did not involve him having skanky pictures of kids.
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:04 am
… PLUS, if it had gone to trial he would have probably just kept telling the prosecutor, “I know you are but what am I ” ?

No, wait, I -can’t- recall what I had yesterday.
September 23rd, 2009 at 5:44 am
… and yet half the time, I can’t recall my own phone number!
I think the details stuck with me because;
(a) I liked his Pee Wee characture a lot and was really disappointed in Reubens’ penchant for self destruction.
(b) The very “under reported” outcome of that case which really seemed to have the stench of an over zealous District attorney who was “out to get” Reubens.

Doesn’t TI have a long and glorious history of shooting themselves in the foot? F’ ‘em.

Dan and I have always enjoyed the Pee Wee stuff, but after seeing him on Leno last night, I have to agree with UsedHair. Reubens looks old. They had to keep pulling the camera back. The voice is still there, but his responses were clearly setup and seemed canned.
I don’t know if I’m disappointed or just a little demystified. I’ll always love his movies… but….

First off, really not work/child friendly. That being said, this is friggin’ brilliant. Yet another example of the “new media” kicking ass. IMO vastly superior to 99% of the drek the mainstream commercial entities put out.

I’m very much looking forward to the movie. I’ll have to consume the graphic novel first. It’ll help me be more critical towards the film.

It does seem like Pee Wee is constantly struggling to repair his image.
It’s like he’s unraveling a sweater, but someone keeps knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . . a-ha-hand knitting. . .

I think I’ll read the GN after I see the movie.

After the Leno show Dan says to me, “It’ll probably take us a while to get Big Top Pee Wee from Netflix now… So I showed him our e-mail box:
“Big Top Pee-Wee
Sent to: Daniel
Arriving on or around: Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009″
Because I’m faster than fast! (I’d put it at the top of the queue earlier this week like I’m psychic or something!)
September 23rd, 2009 at 10:01 am
Gods, have you ever seen Big Top Pee-Wee?
(I love that 2 of today’s conversation topics have been Pee Wee Herman and thermonuclear armageddon)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! He said the word! “Armageddon”! Come on, Chairy, scream!

I can’t say. I watched about five or ten minutes of one of his shows.

So Not only is Jonathan Frakes going to be at Phx Comicon, but his wife, Genie Francis, whom I adore will also be there!
Bonus win for me today!

I sure hope Jonathan Frakes doesn’t listen to LLAP. . . .

That reminds me. We really need to get the new episode online. We recorded this weekend, but this week has been so crazy busy, it’s still just sitting in the can waiting to be posted.

I’m talking to this person and I can’t help feeling there is a door that we both want to walk through, but can’t admit to the other person that we want to walk through that door.

A lil pricey for me, though (ie, you can’t put in a dollar and move the claw around to try and pick it up)

Van – What does “load of old cobblers” mean? I thought a cobbler was an apple, and a load of old apples … yeah, I’m not getting it.

I like the idea that the ultimate doomsday machine is actually a doomsday deterrent. My ancient survival instincts tell me something is fishy about the article though, and I tend to think it is more likely that the blueprints got drawn out and then the project was forgotten. That’s why no one knows about it.
Or it’s just a bunch of scifi goodness.
