Jack Mangan’s Deadpan #139: Flash in the Pan, Part 1
Klytus Show Notes
Part I of the focus on the 1980 Flash Gordon film. We had about 800 people together in one room, recording a roundtable conversation.
The first 8 minutes is fun to hear, but the true Flash Gordon talk starts at around the 8 minute mark.
Yes, I know now that it’s General Klytus.
The website we talked about.

It’s a bit late, but I wanted to note that there are e-readers other than the Kindle. That is all.

You have been warned.

I also decided I needed a hug so I hugged my kitty. She was very confused.

JN: The Sony e-reader looks cool. But I still like the old fashioned paper kind.
Cj needs a hug too. *virtual hugs for Cj*

Approx 90 minutes, ditto.
He’s on an “admin retreat”. I don’t know what that means except he’s in a REALLY nice hotel in the mountains
October 1st, 2009 at 7:12 am
It’s also the typical, “it’s really close so I don’t go except when I have people to play tour guide to.”
Canmore and Banff are very close but hubby and I rarely go. We do try to hit the Tyrell once a year though, just because dinosaurs are cooler to look at than mountains :)

<Short block of text>
Regarding E-Readers: The reason I haven’t bought one is because the price point is still to high for casual purchase. So, I’ve had this brilliant idea – The government should subsidize these e-readers and fund for research: Why? you ask – Because the argument can be made that they are environmentally friendly. People should be given tax credits and incentives to read electronically available formats.
</Short block of text>
Of course, no one will listen to that garbage…

October 1st, 2009 at 8:09 am
I don’t want a tablet as an e-reader. I want one because it would support my preferred style of working. I do a lot of design work, especially on whiteboards. so I’d rather do that using a stylus than by fighting with stupid programs such as Visio.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:10 am

October 1st, 2009 at 8:11 am
Oh No, Cj. That doesn’t sound good :(
October 1st, 2009 at 8:24 am
It may or may not be good. I just need to plan for the worst. The hubby’s day job is destroying him. He’s miserable. The way I see it, the only way I can help is to get a job so he can quit.
I have mad spreadsheet skillz…maybe someone needs that type of thing.
Most likely, I’ll be seeking customer service phone stuff. That’s where I really “excel” – haha…

[Useless anecdotal evidence]
My wife got a kindle about a month ago and absolutely loves it.
[/useless anecdotal evidence]

I likes me dead trees.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:40 am
I feel kind of guilty. Even though I complain about month end, I actually like my job and am glad for it.
My hubby wants to get a notebook. You can get one for about the same price as a Kindle or other E-Reader and it will not only act as an e-reader but will do so much more too.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:44 am
Sorry to see all of the stupid stress people are dealing with.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:46 am
You needto be careful playing the enviromentalcard with e readers. Especially with a device that uses non sustainable resources in both it’s construction and continualuse (howmany kindle owners recharge their units with electricity generated fromnon fossil fuelled sources..not many I would wager).

Vanamonde & Jack have come to the board
*adds them to the group hug*
BTW – how did yesterday go, Van? (feel free to tell me to mind my own business :) )
October 1st, 2009 at 8:49 am
I really never ever ever treat myself to toys (hence the cell-phone from the 1950s), so I’ve never even looked into any type of technological replacement for dead-tree books. Mr. Bunny’s logic seems spot on, if a notebook costs about the same as a Kindle.
Plus.
Phone, iPod, laptop sometimes, sonic screwdriver – - how many damn tech devices am I supposed to carry around on me at one time??
October 1st, 2009 at 8:49 am
Van: I agree. Plus, my books are bio-degradable.
October 1st, 2009 at 8:51 am
Jack: I agree with that too. I hate hauling around tons of devices. And then there is the disposal problem. That’s why I’m hoping they finally develop a tablet that I can use as my primary computer. They aren’t there yet, imo, but then I’ll just have to carry around one thing.

Darn it. I hate when I can’t remember lyrics correctly.
That should have been:
The wolf he howls, howls up at the moon,
out on the steps beneath my hotel room.
Was in the woods behind this little town
we went flying up through the silhouette trees,
then crashing down.
Colours brighter than I’ve ever seen,
More wired than I’ve ever been – and the faces turn to stone . . .
On through the gates again – what a wonderful way to go . . .
What a wonderful way to go
(not sure why I felt it important to correct that)

Or Silence of the… what do I know?
October 1st, 2009 at 11:42 am
my impression was the reptileness of the date, but I could be wrong
October 1st, 2009 at 11:45 am
Oh I found it through Google. I’m satisfied now.
In the movie The Silence of the Lambs, the serial killer Buffalo Bill told his captives to “rub the lotion on the skin” in order to keep their skin soft and easy to remove from their bodies…
If you have seen the movie you should know that the serial killer “Buffalo Bill” was having sexual issues and decided to make an outfit from the skin of women his size in order to please his need to be a woman.
He would capture women and put them in the dried out well in his basement and starve them to make their skin loose and easy to remove.
He used the term, “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again”, to make the young women put the lotion on their skin for fear that they would be sprayed with the water hose….
And yes it is from The Silence of the Lambs.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:46 am
Clearly, I would never have known what it meant since that movie will never ever ever ever never ever possibly be in my to-be-watched queue.
October 1st, 2009 at 11:48 am
Ah, see. That reference went totally over my head, hence the scales comment
October 1st, 2009 at 11:51 am
Great, but very creepy movie.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Great might be a bit much. It was worth a once through, if for nothing else than the fava beans bit, and “Thank you, Clarisse. Thank you.”

My own spoilers made me curious about other famous spoilers and so I was looking at this wikipedia entry http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Spoilers and this sentence cracked me up:
Sometimes the title (James killed Mary in Silent Hill 2) itself is a spoiler (In The Breakup Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn break up; in Debbie Does Dallas, Debbie does Dallas).
I always wondered if Debbie REALLY did Dallas because in the movie I saw called Debbie Does Dishes I really don’t remember Nina Hartley (who played Debbie) actually “doing” any dishes. (I swear this is a real movie even though I can’t find it on imdb)

Incredible Weird Al Yankovic movie. IF you like silly spoofs, you need to see this movie, like yesterday.
Not sure how old you are, but for people like me that were teens in the 80s, all of the references make sense. To the unfortunate (or fortunate depending on your point of view on the 80s) young folks that missed the 80s, many of the references will go eastern airlines (yet another 80s reference). But the movie has plenty of references to standard genre stuff like Raiders of the Lost Ark, that anyone (even my 12 year old daughter) can get the majority of the jokes.

Lejon: One of those pretty interesting coincidences: We just received Watcher in the Woods yesterday from Netflix. I’ve never seen it, don’t know if I’ve ever even heard of it. We watched about half of it last night and it is indeed creepy and enjoyable for a Disney flick.
I’m with Cj on the Silence of the Lambs and the sequels. Not my cup of coffee.
Saying that the Olive Garden serves Italian food is like saying McDonald’s is fine dining.
UHF is a very good movie, IMO. Even non-fans of Mr. Yankovic often enjoy it.

Disney will probably not remake Watcher in the Woods – They’ve got a “family friendly” lie…er, um IMAGE… to uphold, and they’d be hard-pressed finding an actress as good as Bette Davis to fit into a remake, but this film could totally be redone with a PG-13 rating and make some serious cash…

LJ: While I may not care for Limbaugh, it’s not him I object to. I had the name long before the dittoheads came around, and I’d rather not be thought of as a mindless zealot.

The wife and I recently watched “Wayne’s World” – I’m amazed that she’d made it through the 90’s and never saw it.
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Yeh. Limbaugh actually does shoulder a good deal of blame for the success of “Hate Radio”. He made a fine art of spinning opinion as fact with the specific purpose of inciting a mob. He was a master of pin pointing the fears of white middle class Americans and then stoking those fears with blast furnace ferocity.
In my book though, what really makes him a poster child for the “Evil Deuchbag” classification is that he did all of that not out of some fervent, misguided devotion to a political view … he did all of that to further the Limbaugh “Brand”. His devotion to this country is only as far as capitalism kept making him rich. The outlandish statements and hate group pandering was simply to boost his ratings. He would/will say anything that gets him national attention.
What sets him apart from the world’s other media whores is his complete lack of interest in who gets hurt or killed as a result of the HATE he dishes out. As long as it brings him attention and dollars it is (in his book) all perfectly OK.
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Lejon – will that film involve politicians and billiards perhaps?
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:44 pm

October 2nd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
“What’s with this Wayne’s World I hear so much about?”
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:57 pm
J0e has touched upon many of the points I’d intended to make. Limbahhh and his cronies are in the Anti-Left Industry. They spit hatred about Obama because it’s profitable and gets Garth Brooks fans fired up. Yes, they are racist too – - but there’s no money in white fear. They do that on their own time, like a hobby.
And anyone who doesn’t goosestep to their hate fund drives – - whether it be Obama, McCain, Clinton, Paul – - becomes a target of vitriol.
:) I’m gonna stop there :)
October 2nd, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Lejon, will you take her through the sequel? While it’s a flawed film, there are a few absolutely hilarious moments.
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
In defense of Limbaugh (probably to his detriment):
I find it interesting that you cite him as such a large influence and cause of villainous distress in the U.S. Yes, he has listeners. Quite a few, in fact; however, so do Howard Stern, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Bill O’Reilly.
But, naturally, Limbaugh is the leader of a mass cult of influential republican followers (his “ditto-heads”) who have ransacked the government to give us this crap economy by force… I’m sorry – I really am, but I just don’t buy it.
Limbaugh is an entertainer. That’s it. He let’s his conservative opinions shine on his sleeves. He makes no bones about the fact that he’s a “Rah-Rah” Republican, party-loyal to the core (which was probably his real mistake). He is a talented rhetorician, and he will happily argue you into a corner if you can’t back up your facts. But, all of this he puts to use for the purposes of entertaining those people who are like-minded and listen to his show.
I freely admit that I used to listen to his show regularly. I had a subscription to his newsletter, and I bought one of his books. In the time that I indulged in his brand of entertainment (a couple years), I never once found him to be racist or a fear-monger. Don’t misunderstand, he is definitely extreme in his views, but he does/did not promote racism, nor does/did he tolerate racist viewpoints, and he is/was a staunch promoter of rational thinking by supporting one’s opinions with statistics and fact.
That said, he doesn’t hold much weight with me any longer. It’s not because he is any less of what he was, and not because of the scandal with his addiction to painkillers (for which I would also rally to his defense, but I’m already treading deep as it is). I simply outgrew the extremist point of view.
I’ve never subscribed to any party available in our political system, largely because by tossing in my oar with one or another, I lend support to whatever platform they choose to support, whether I agree with it all or not. Since, I feel a little more integrity in my bones than simply jumping on a bandwagon, I walk the independent road and vote for whom I feel suits their office best.
Limbaugh, for all his blustering, has never influenced my vote.
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Jack: I don’t own the sequel – I may Netflix it – There’s something about the brown M&M’s bit that is vaguely appealing just about now.
October 2nd, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Wow. Can I kill a conversation or what?
October 2nd, 2009 at 3:10 pm
Excellent points made, Lejon.
There is no right-wing conspiracy – - it’s not a secret society or a coordinated effort; it’s just a system corrupt deuches use to win power and cash. It *is* an industry. He’s not the only leader and the only problem in that industry, just the biggest.
The problem: his industry’s tactics and the message of his output are more dangerous and harmful than Stewart’s or Maher’s. They’ve never resorted to croc tears or bully tactics to compel agreement. They make their money by criticizing all political inconsistencies, and putting the punchline before all else. There is no industry of reasonable folks to counter hysteria from all political extremes.
I disagree that promotes a reasoned approach, because he deliberately omits facts and logic to make his unfailingly pre-determined opinion.
I’m also being slightly unfair by assuming he’s a racist, just because he’s also an outed hypocrite (calling Jerry Garcia “another dead doper” while struggling with his own chemical addiction?). He *IS*, however, a bigot against anyone he considers too far to the left. Which is every one of us.
October 2nd, 2009 at 3:28 pm
Just a few Limbaugh quotes:
I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.
Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

Morning Pan, just watched Stargate U. This show looks like it is going to be awesome. I have watched every episode of SG1 and SGA and this one looks like a darker version of the other shows. can’t wait for more!
October 4th, 2009 at 8:16 am
Morning Pan!
Hubby off doing his music thing with the guys. I’m sitting here watching the snow fall out my living room window. If it wasn’t for the fact it’s snow, I’d say it’s nice an peaceful looking.
October 4th, 2009 at 8:24 am
SG-U had a bit of a BSG feel for me. The scientist even struck me as Baltaresque in his actions and words.
That being said, we still enjoyed it and plan to continue watching it.
October 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am
Random thought: I’ve been going on FB less and less lately. I’m lucky if I’m on there once a week now. I have no real reason why, it’s just the way it is.
October 4th, 2009 at 9:12 am
I might watch a movie later today. The next movie in my que is called The Secret: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446463/
Looks like a good B movie to watch.
But first lunch. Chicken noodle soup is called for today.
October 4th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Morning, everyone!
Snow, Bunny? It’s chilly here, and the windows are all steamed up because I’m making soup today, but no snow yet.
I can’t wait to watch Stargate U.
We watched Dave Chapelle’s Block Party last night and LOVED it. I now swoon for Jill Scott.

Put in my second of four loads of laundry. Boy my life is exciting.

Sex while holding a candelabra looks pretty awkward.
October 4th, 2009 at 11:48 am
I couldn’t make it through the movie. It was really that bad.
October 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
David Duchovny movies generally suck. It was worse than the girl who kept masturbating and putting people in the torture chair?
October 4th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
At least I made it through that other movie, so i guess that says something.

EB: chilly weather combination
I’m living in Florida after years of New York State. Chilly weather would be great right now, but it made it all the way up to 93 degrees yesterday. On the other hand, the year pass at SeaWorld and Aquatica has lots of time to pay itself off.

Just Finished Watching: Season premiere of “Three Rivers” on CBS. I like it. If “House,” with all its vitriol, sarcasm, and rule-breaking, is like a shot of orange-flavored liquor, “Three Rivers” is like an orange-juice chaser. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE “House,” but I can enjoy medical drama with not-as-extremely-messed-up characters, too. I’ll keep watching. :-)
October 4th, 2009 at 9:31 pm

NS: Yes, SeaWorld is like Marine Land. They have places where you can see large aquariums with sharks, killer whales, manatees, etc. They have shows with Shamu the killer whale or sea lions. They have amusement park rides and they have fireworks on the weekends. Lots of fun and way more “cheese” (as in, this place is really cheesy) than any one person can handle. Aquatica is the water park owned by, and across the street from SeaWorld.

The Green Carnation album “Light of Day, Day of Darkness” contains only one song but it is over 60 minutes long. I noticed that Amazon is selling the one song MP3 for 99 cents. I think I’m going to buy it today.

My cat is being a brat today. She seems to think the purpose of my whole existence is to provide her pleasure. I’ve only been home half an hour and she’s already wheedled two combings out of me.
October 5th, 2009 at 8:42 am
Interesting list of epic songs there.
I’d add “The End” by The Doors and Iron Maiden’s “Rhime of the Ancient Mariner”, for starters. Coltrane’s “Blue Train”, if jazz is allowed.

Had to put the garbage and recycling bin in front of the neighbour’s as, as I said earlier, they are tearing up my sidewalk so I couldn’t put it in front of my own house. Hopefully the neighbour understands.

October 5th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
Lejon: I don’t have a bluray player yet but we have purchased bluray disks when the price is right and they had to come with the DVD and downloadable version.
October 5th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
reaper: the issue I have is that I already own a DVD copy. So, while I don’t officially have a working BluRay player at the moment, is it worth paying dues to the Mouse Machine to get this? How much more detail could the bluray version contain?
The movie was made in 1939, even a fresh digital transfer would have limited success. The digital “restoration” might go more toward making this special, but from what I’ve seen, they’ve decided to keep a wide screen aspect ratio, rather than the original 4×3 – which means that no matter how well restored this version is, there is still detail from the original film that has been edited out “to fit your screen”
Still, I’ll have a bluray machine at some point… so is it worth it?
October 5th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Sounds like you feel the indulgence is worthwhile, Lejon. If budget and others with a say in your budget approve, then go for it.
If a better version comes out in the future, you can still dump this one.
October 5th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Jack: Darned disposable society… Having stuff used to mean something…
October 5th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
Lejon: My vote is no. I’m stunned at the increased detail you see in a movie from the ’90s when it’s fully HD. But that’s live-action. I think your points illustrate my doubts as to an old cartoon HD/BluRay-ified.
On another note, it’s sad to think of how gorgeous those old Disney animated movies were compared to the Mermaid/Beauty*Beast/Aladdin Hanna-Barberra-quality cookie-cutter tripe they’ve been tossing out.
I think I had a point, but I’ve lost it.
October 5th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Lejon: Are you visiting the Ministry of Silly Walks?
October 5th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Jack: Oh, I left out that I always think the indulgence is worthwhile, but then I have trouble saving money.
October 5th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
JØ: 1.) Your point is that the artistry which used to be inherent in the system has been scaled back to increase the profitability the system is supposed to inherit.
2.) Not so much a ministry as a parish
October 5th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Lejon: I’d not say “scaled back” so much as “tossed in the dumpster”
On another another note, did you ever watch the “updated/enhanced” version of Robotech? Pretty dreadful.

I’m entirely conflicted about the whole BluRay vs. DVD vs. digital conflict. For now, I am really quite happy with the way my upconverted DVDs look. But I’ve seen some of the Pixar BluRay stuff and droooooooled. But physical medium means either a carousel or getting up to change the disc and I’m sooo lazy.
I think for now the deciding factor is how much money I have in my wallet. So DVDs it is. Heh.

There’s a broken beam inside of the big big bridge
I guess that whole thing is caving in
Maybe it is time I learn how to swim
I’ll be a dolphin, I’ll be a dolphin
Sometimes I think I’m breaking down
And other times I think that I’m fine
But something got into my engine
It slowed me down
Now I got to turn this whole thing around
I’m gonna be a dolphin… I’m gonna be a dolphin
I’m gonna be a dolphin… I’m gonna be a dolphin
There’s not a lot I believe anymore
I mistrust everything I had been longing for
There’s not a lot that I know anymore
But I know if the good bridge is burning
You gotta be a dolphin… You gotta be a dolphin
You gotta be a dolphin… You gotta be a dolphin — POE

In my head, that song is always linked with the following:
we went down to the edge of the water
you were afraid to go in
you said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
and i said i’m only going for a swim
i was swimming around in a circle
i wasn’t always in view
you said we might get into red flag danger
and i am alone when i’m not with you
but i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
and i am no fisherman’s slave
i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
i keep my head above the waves
we were swinging from the centre of the ceiling
you were afraid to give in
i said i know i’ll always live for this feeling
and you closed your eyes you said never again
we were dancing in the middle of the desert
you said we’ll burn under the hot sun
i said i’d rather be the colour of pleasure
than watch like you from under the thumb
but i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
and i am no fisherman’s slave
i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
i keep my head above the waves
we went down to the edge of the water
you were afraid to go in
you said there might be sharks out there in the ocean
and i said i’m only going for a swim
i was living around in a circle
i wasn’t always in view
you said we might get into red flag danger
and i am alone when i’m not with you
but i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
and i am no fisherman’s slave
i am no mermaid
i am no mermaid
i keep my head above the waves

Hmm How about..
i get confused when i’m tired
but the last time i saw you
we were in a room
with sunshine in my eyes
and water on the floor
i watched you float away
take me with you
a long time ago
we were walking around
we were rolling around
in the graden
in the garden
i saw you turn around
and still you turn around
my eyes are playing tricks on me
how i miss you
I could be your lover
chained under the water
under the water
i could be standing on a ladder
to make it easier
to make it easier
your eyes are colored stone
you’ve got an earring through your nose
your chains are made of gold
i dont think they would float
but floating is what you do
that is beautiful
that is you
i could be your lover
chained under the water
under the water
i could be swimming out to save you
no one ever saves you
to make it easier
i’ll be your lover
under the water
i could be standing
to make it easier

we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away
and somebody told me that this is the place
where everything’s better, everything’s safe
walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone
and half an hour later we packed up our things
we said we’d send letters and all those little things
and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
It seemed they’d already forgotten we’d came
now we’re back at the homestead
where the air makes you choke
and people don’t know you
and trust is a joke
we don’t even have pictures
just memories to hold
that grow sweeter each season
as we slowly grow old
– Toad the Wet Sprocket
To continue the water motif.
October 5th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Looking down into the water
Its hard to make out your face
If our love is drowning, then why
Do I feel so out of place?
Bubbling up to the surface
Are you getting a breath of fresh air?
Forever longing to make you mine
But I cant escape your stare…
Liquid seeps into your lungs
But your eyes look so serene
Its wonderful how the surface ripples
But youre perfect, and I cannot breathe
Forever longing to make you mine
But I cant escape your stare…
Hold me closer, keep me near
My underwater love
Hold me closer, keep me near
Ill never get enough
Touch me from below
Ill never let you go
But I cant escape

She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned cause she was the cream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name
She said I was the tiger she wanted to tame

And our hearts they beat as one

Come with me, my love
To the sea, the sea of love
I want to tell you oh how much I love you
Do you remember when we met?
That’s the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you how much I love you
Come with me
To the sea
Of
Love
Do you remember when we met?
That’s the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you oh how much I love you
Come with me
To the sea
Of
Love
Do you remember when we met?
That’s the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you oh how much I love you –Del Shannon

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can’t you see them it’s plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don’t believe me.
Oh…I’ve never felt so strange
But…I’m not going insane.
I’ve no doubt that you think I’m off my head
You don’t say but it’s in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don’t know what to do.
Oh…they drain my strength away
Oh…they’re asking me to stay.
Nightmares…spirits calling me
Nightmares…they won’t leave me be.
All my life’s blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I’m weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven’t long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.
Now…I feel they are so near
I…begin to see them clear
Nightmares…coming all the time
Nightmares…Will give me peace of mind.
Now it’s clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we’ll jump right into the pool
Can’t you see not just me they want you too.
Oh…we’ll drown together
It…will be forever.
Nightmares…forever calling me
Nightmares…Now we rest in peace.

Black mark up against your name

There’s bad poison runnin’ through your veins
Evil walks behind you
Evil sleeps beside you
Evil talks AROUND you
Evil walks behind you
Black widow weavin’ evil notions
Dark secrets bein’ spun in your web
Good men goin’ down in your ocean
They can’t swim ’cause they’re tied to your bed
You just cry wolf
I sometimes wonder where you park your broom
Oh black widow

Down in your ocean
You got ‘em tied to your bed
With your dark, dark secrets
And your green, green eyes

Morning Pan, last day at my sisters before heading home, going to check out the 3D version of Toy Story (no double bill in ripoff Britain).
October 5th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
I guess in the craziness of the last few days I neglected to mention that the family enjoyed the Double-Feature. Both kids sat happily through the entire show and the older child even wore her 3D glasses and uttered the word “cool” many times.
Anyone who happens to watch my husband’s tweets should know by now what is going on here so, please excuse me if I’m a bit skittish for the next few days, weeks… etc.

My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy’s not right …
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumours and the lies
And saw the man inside …
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town …
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home …
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me …
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
And how it’s done me wrong
There’s no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town …

Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dark,
Oh I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are here
Close at hand, oh Im better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year…

October 6th, 2009 at 4:08 am
I write prettier than I talk, Nomad. I wish I had a Southern drawl, but alas I have the Southwestern speech pattern I’ve got. People tell me I sound Canadian, but after listening to Bunny on the MMMMMeetup recordings, I now that’s not it.
How are you today, sir?
October 6th, 2009 at 4:20 am
Depends on -which- southern drawl. South Carolina, no offense to anyone intelligent to be here, but I hate the state and I hate the accent. It just sounds… stupid. Virgina has one of the cutest, most drop dead sexy accents. Tennessee is pretty standard and tends to amplify the character of the speaker.
And if True Blood is any indicator, Lousiana has a cute and stupid accent. Sooookie, I do declare.
I don’t consider Texas southern, but I did hear some excellent drawlin’ the one time I popped out for a visit.
As for Canadian, After listening to Mark (Encaf1) and Mike Plested and the amazing Bunny, I’d have to say they all sound pretty non-accented to me. Nice voices, clear diction, but a kind of “standard” accent.
I, myself, am doing great and exercising my tired and out of date southern drawl. Soookie. LOL

October 6th, 2009 at 4:35 am
Oooh, them’s fightin’ words . . .
Not really! But I do think Charleston is a fantastic city if you can look away from the glaring racial divide in wealth long enough to notice.
For my job, I spend loads of time in the deep South – I’ve logged lots of hours in Louisiana (mostly New Orleans, which is an anomaly in the South, but also New Iberia, Baton Rouge, and Monroe), Savannah, Pensacola, and Moblie. I think folks are just folks, honestly, no matter where you find yourself, but political and religious climates do tend to the more . . . ahem . . . restrictive the further South one travels. Of course, I’ve encountered giant asshats in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and other big, supposedly progressive cities just as often as in BFE Louisiana.

Have a super morning at Evil Inc!
October 6th, 2009 at 4:56 am
Wow, looking back at the comments, Scry called me amazing. I thought only my husband could be the judge of that ;)
October 6th, 2009 at 4:57 am
The only job I’ve ever been fired from was in SC, down in Charleston, and the fake reason was because I “laughed at a customer” (she made a joke and I laughed) but the real reason was my ponytail and black clothes scared the manager.
Charleston is pretty bad when it comes to how blatant the racial lines are, but drive a bit north to Greenville/Spartanburg and it’s even worse. The white folk live in nice old houses with pillared front porches on clean streets… meanwhile, hop over the ivy covered fence with the barbed wire and you’ll find the colored folk living with their chickens and pigs in little better than shacks. Three shacks to one house. They’ve managed to hide their “problem” behind a facade. I was a young teen when we lived there, so it didn’t really dawn on me what was going on till after we’d left and I started noticing that everyone just acted like people.
Other than SC, I am starting to think that I prefer the simple straight forward confrontation of the South to the stick-em-inna-back of NJ, NY, CT, MA. At least you know when you are in trouble down there. I mean, I cannot imagine the city of Chattanooga fining someone for having foot long grass in their front yard.
Too heavy, eh?

There, a load of laundry is in the washing machine, the vacuum is doing its thing in the living room (its thing includes freaking out the cat).
Now to do some work.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:03 am
Hey Scry. The board is hopping this morning.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:08 am
Not too heavy. The racial lines are incredibly distressing particularly in the South. I believe it’s a self-breeding super-virus. All that will come of allowing it to continue is more of the same, over and over and over again. It’s a fucking shame.
Now I am off to Evil for a day of fun. Month-end activities for me. I love that someone with a Master’s Degree in American Literature and Women’s Studies (me) does accruals/deferrals for a $6M business unit. It’s totally typical of the place.
Have a great day, all y’all.

One more comment: race is also a huge problem that goes largely unaddressed in pseudo-liberal Boulder County, Colorado as well. It’s just not as easy to see if you’re not looking.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:13 am
While racial and other issues exist (and trust me you do see them in my hubby’s line of work), I like to think Canada is one of the better countries when it comes to such things.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:17 am
I just can’t stop this morning, but after this, I am TOTALLY leaving . . .
Bunny, I’d have to challenge you on what you say based on my family (Sly B’s brother and his wife and 3 kids) who live North of you on the Cree reserve in Hobbema. The conditions there are deplorable, and rival reservations in the U.S. in terms of poverty, abuse, lack of services (education, police, clean water), and etc. Other than the native population there, I can’t speak to Canadian race relations.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:21 am
EssBee, while I admit there are issues, I’m afraid I won’t get into native relations. My mother use to teach on a reserve, and I have Meiti blood in me. I will say there are plus and minus’ on both sides of the argument, but don’t feel this is a proper forum for that kind of a debate.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:23 am
I wondered what was wrong with my cat. It sounded like he was doing a monster job of scratching in his catbox. And then, five minutes later, he’s doing it again.
Yeah, he’s been closed up in the coat closet for an hour. D’oh.

October 6th, 2009 at 5:29 am
Of course Scry, my kitty thinks I’m a bad owner too because I have the vacuum going.

Hey! Tis not my fault that he races through any opened door…

Today is the birthday for a friend of mine who I have totally lost contact with. I don’t even know her full name, so it’s kinda hard to use Google-fu to find her. So… bah.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:32 am
Bunny, does your cat talk to bugs?
October 6th, 2009 at 5:35 am
My cat is afraid of bugs, mice, vacuums, people… you name it,
She will watch a bug crawl across the floor or fly through the air but if it comes near her, she’ll walk, sometimes run, away.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:36 am
She once freaked out when she saw a mouse, jumping up and running away when it squeaked.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:37 am
Huh. I can’t remember any of my other cats giving more than a passing interest in moving bugs. Vex will actively and accurately hunt down bugs and if they are up out of his reach, he’ll warble at them. It’s like he is say, “Fly into my mouth.” And then he eats them.
October 6th, 2009 at 5:39 am
That’s cute. I picture her doing the Lucy, standing on the table, clutching the drapes, and pointing the “MOUSE!”
October 6th, 2009 at 5:46 am
That’s not far from the truth, Scry. We live by railroad tracks so, if it’s a particularly cold winter, we will occasionally get a mouse find its way into the house. My cat hates it when that happens (has only occurred three times in the 13+ years living here)
October 6th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Happiness is a warm kitty on your lap :)
October 6th, 2009 at 6:08 am
And that’s the downside to my cat. He barely tolerates sitting on the same couch as us. When he was a kitten, he’d sleep with Jade, but now that he’s a big teenager he sleeps by himself. *pout*
October 6th, 2009 at 6:12 am
Whew, almost forgot to park my car on the street. They’re tearing up the sidewalk in front of my house and I wouldn’t have been able to get it out of the driveway when I went for lunch with my Boo later today.
The only reason I remembered is I heard the garbage truck and I thought it was the city in front of my house. Glad I made it in time.
October 6th, 2009 at 6:14 am
My cat is a loving cat, but only to me. She tolerates my husband and won’t go near anybody else. But I don’t care, because she loves to lay on me, and that’s all that matters
October 6th, 2009 at 6:32 am
I think I have to give up now on trying to find my friend. I dug through my old email address and pinged off 4 bad addresses, found and google’d her “real” name and pestered a few mutual friends. No luck.
Ah well.
October 6th, 2009 at 6:33 am
My work work is done, my laundry is in the dryer, now to clean my desk.
October 6th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Personally I think that’s going above and beyond, Scry.
October 6th, 2009 at 6:36 am
I guess so. It’s not like either of us has made the effort to make contact since ‘05. Humbug. I dislike growing apart.

Back to the water theme for a moment…
I wish I was a fisherman
tumblin’ on the seas
far away from dry land
and its bitter memories
castin’ out my sweet line
with abandonment and love
no ceiling bearin’ down on me
save the starry sky above
with light in my head
with you in my arms…
i wish i was the brakeman
on a hurtlin fevered train
crashin head long into the heartland
like a cannon in the rain
with the feelin of the sleepers
and the burnin of the coal
countin the towns flashin by
and a night that’s full of soul
with light in my head
with you in my arms…
And I know I will be loosened
from the bonds that hold me fast
and the chains all around me
will fall away at last
and on that grand and fateful day
I will take thee in my hand
I will ride on a train
I will be the fisherman
With light in my head
You in my arms…

Hi sports fans.
Didn’t have time to read “back” posts, so I have no idea what’s going on.
Just thought I’d say “hi” and that, after driving 1.3 bagazillion miles to Washington D.C. – I spent my 2nd day here finding a tire dealer that carried a replacement for the one I blew out (2 blocks from my hotel) and then figuring out how to find them (in Maryland), driving there and then sitting in their waiting room for 3 hours.
I’m back in my hotel room and 2 Cosmos in the bar have re-adjusted my attitude.
I have yet to meet the President. Have met the homeless … and really good Chinese food.

BTW – one high lite of the trip is the store I saw when I got lost. Better then the fact that they had misspelled Clothing as Cloathing … was the fact that the “C” had falled of their sign.
Yep! They were offering “Discount LOATHING” .
This raises some questions.
( ) “Loathing can be bought?”
( ) What IS the going rate for loathing?
( ) What about “You get what you pay for?” What quality of “Loathing” can you expect for “off the rack”, discount hate? I mean seriously, won’t it be more of a dislike or at best a mild abhorrence?
“Discount Loathing.”

OK. Finally caught up, and my day has slowed down, so it’s my turn for water works:
I dream of the ocean and the beautiful skies rolling out to sea
I dream of the ocean and the rip of the tide west of Finnistair
The weight of the water pouring down, holding on to me
I dream of the ocean, rising, rising
I dream of the ocean – through the night the ghosts are sailing still
The James Caird steering east by north-east through the wild Atlantic swell
The men lie soaked and cold beneath the sail on a bed of ballast stone
They hear the boss cry out – I can see them now, the snow-capped peaks of land
But it was the ocean, rising, rising
A forty foot wall of water crashing down
They held their breath and prayed to God in the hour of death
To save them
From the ocean, rising, rising
I dream of the ocean, rising, rising
And so the years they flow and journey’s end
The old crew sailed south again
And they buried the boss by the melting snow
In the summer winds on the island
And now the ice it cracks and falls away, driven in the storms
And I’ll be there – where the sky touches the sea
At the edge of the ocean where the beautiful world fades into the grey
I dream of the ocean, rising, rising
I dream of the ocean, rising, rising
-Ocean Rising, Justin Sullivan

Lejon: I’d like your input. Macross is, to me, the only Robotech series worth watching. When the Masters were brought in with the Cyclones and whatnot, it really took a dive. And don’t get me started with what followed. Mechs fighting with huge speakers? Seriously? Anyhow, Netflix just presented me with The Shadow Chronicles. Have you seen this? And is it one of those deals where it’s mostly cartoon with computer-rendered mechs? I hate that. Yeah.

Evening, DP!
I totally respect your position on the issue from this morning, TEB. I have strong feelings on it, and they can stay right here in my brain.
Today really put the evil back into Evil Inc for me. Those asshats.
Tonight: red beans & rice from the crock pot and last nights Big Bang Theory.
Enjoy DC, JOe! Total hell hole, of course, but there’re all those monuments.

So, yeah. I hate to bring my grief to the pan, but sometimes I just feel like I have nobody to talk to… So my grief for today…
I’m under some stress, but I have to keep my chin up and be supportive of others around me whom I love. That’s no problem. The pushing down of my angsty feelings on the other hand causes my body to go into rejection mode.
Soo… I haven’t been able to keep any food down today and I have a lovely stabbing pain from my lower neck up to my right eye. I have a hotpad all up on my face and neck right now providing enough relief to be up and about for now, but I really need a hot bath… for about 48 hours.
The water only stays hot for like 20 minutes though. How irritating is that?
Damn stupid water.

ditto’s alpha: Maybe he *redacted*. There was a single line in Epitaph One that suggested he’s *redacted*. I think it was right around the point where Echo breaks back into the *redacted*
Jack’s cthulhu: Kinda cute/cool, kinda footey-pajama/embarrasing.
Mr. Nul’s safety aware: The phishers are getting better. I used to be able to tell from just the header info, but I’ve had a few recently that I actually opened before I realized it was a sham. I’d hate to think what non-paranoid people are going through.
Cj: When I’m stressed to the point of freaking out, I’ve found that a “sleepytime” herbal tea with Skullcap, Hops & Valerian Root goes a long way to letting me relax enough to sleep. But that’s for me. I find sleep to be the reset switch I need. I know for others it is other stuff, like being in water or… well, that’s all I know of actually.

Good morning!
I share the Nomad love.
Van, YES!
Cj, HUGS. It’s great to take care of everyone, but you can’t do that well if you don’t also take care of yourself, girl.
It’s humpday. I’m watching a LOST episode before going to Evil this morning (mid-way through Season 4 now), working my day, and then getting a tattoo at 6. Yippee!!

I don’t think that was very nice.

Just out of curiosity, EssBee, is it too early in the morning for you? You signed your post :)

So a friend of my daughter proposed to his boyfriend this week. It was actually quite sweet. They booked a romantic holiday to Tofino (http://www.tofino-bc.com/) (been there, very beautiful). They were doing the moonlight walk along the beach type of thing when he pulled out the ring.
Very romantic

EssBee Said, “Cj, HUGS. It’s great to take care of everyone, but you can’t do that well if you don’t also take care of yourself, girl.
Thanks. I do have a tendency to do that. I’m having these very selfish thoughts lately of wanting someone to take care of me. It reminds me of one of my favorite movie lines actually… where I get to be Superman in the equation:

Cj: I’ve long been an insomniac. It’s something I manage without resorting to drugs. My major problem is my brain just doesn’t shut-off when I want to go to sleep. So, I have to do relaxing things for about an hour before bed.

I agree w/TEB and Nomad Scry re: Chick-thulu
Cj: I hope this improves for you soon. I agree with the above-stated recommendations. I would also add meditation. Just ~10-15 min. a day can make a world of difference. I also also would like to give a thumbs-up to valerian root to help with slumber.

JØ: RE: Robotech: I agree, Macross was the strongest storyline of the original series “Robotech Masters” or “Southern Cross” was the weakest. I felt pretty good about “New Generation”, but I’m looking back on it from over 20 years (I’ve been trying to rewatch the series, but I can’t get through Southern Cross…GRRrrrr).
I have, unfortunately, not seen Shadow Chronicles. Hulu has it, and I came close to watching, but failed. I enjoyed the first half of Macross Plus, only the first half because that’s what’s available for instant watch on Netflix – Now, I’m waiting on the DVDs to roll to the top of the queue.
From what I’ve seen of Shadow Chronicles, there did seem to be a lot of CGI, but I couldn’t make out whether it was everything, or just the mechs.
My apologies for being lame on this one.

October 7th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
After all, they made a movie based on what might have happened to Porky as an adult, too.

I like the final sexy stormtrooper, though the one two above it has a certain amount of something or other. *snert*

I am re-doing the weekly shut down procedure documentation. It’s amazing how much has changed in the two years since I first made these up. And amazing how little has changed.

And every single time I try to type in “knob” I mis-type it as “know”. I’m not sure what my subconscious is trying to tell me.

Lejon: That dude sounds frustrating as hell. Needs to be DOSed.

Jack: Not a big deal really, I just didn’t pay the bill. Oh and neither did my brother, my other brother, or my sister. And then AT&T charged me a $400 usage charge on a line with unlimited usage. So they want their almost a grand back before they’ll restore service. Which is kinda reasonable from their point of view.
Ah, the luxuries of life. =)

Wait, who?
I’ve at least seen Alvie and Jeremy since I “discovered” here, but …
That sucks.

That’s an interesting recipe for pie crust but… I wonder if it leaves any residual vodka flavor. The concept behind the recipe sound pretty brilliant, but ughspleghgag on the vodka flavor.
