  1. Vanamonde Says:

    If in doubt, rub it out.

  2. jackmangan Says:

    If in debt, rub it yet.

    Van is quick on the draw! I thought for sure that Nomad Scry was going to catch the first one this week, since he’d recently posted a Garfield comment on 141.

    Goodnight, Flush.

  3. Vanamonde Says:

    Night Jack, morning Pan.

    Windows 7 day, insert anticipation/disgust/indifference here —>

  4. Nomad Scry Says:

    Yeah… I got called away for work and I forgot to look for -new- deadpan pages.

    To the victor … the spoils!

    I expect lots of rubbing from you, Mr. Van.

  5. Nomad Scry Says:

    If you do not count the three nipples after DP142 posted, then we hit 899.

    The target was 400, I think, so I guess we made it. We should celebrate.

  6. Vanamonde Says:

    Woot!

  7. Nomad Scry Says:

    Snoopy dance?

    Also… It’s TrapCast time!

  8. Ed from Texas Says:

    Huzzah!

  9. reaper Says:

    CP: Deadpan 142
    BTW morning pan

  10. reaper Says:

    Sorry pan didn’t think adding my 2 cents would brake the nipples.
    guess i have to be more gentle

  11. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    About bloody time this page was working!

    Morning Pan!

  12. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I started a new book yesterday. How many of you will get it if I say

    CR: Heat Wave by Richard Castle :)

  13. reaper Says:

    reaper peaks this head out from around the corner
    Is it safe… will I brake it again…
    reaper slowly hits the submit button and backs away

  14. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Reaper!

  15. reaper Says:

    morning TEB looks like it is just us this morning

  16. reaper Says:

    DAD… Bob broke your beer!!!

  17. reaper Says:

    is it excessive if I have 50% of the posts?
    reaper feels gluttonous

  18. Cj Says:

    I’m here and then I’ll be gone. I have an escape breakfast with a couple of my mom friends this morning.

    Eventually I’ll come post an update. Right now I need to sync my ipod so I can take the show on the road with me.

  19. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    That’ll change once others realize we’re up and running again

  20. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I had to get the show from the site. It didn’t download to my i-tunes this morning, although it seems to be loading now.

  21. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Have fund Cj. Everybody needs an escape

  22. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    -d

  23. Nomad Scry Says:

    I have new earbuds. Rah.

    MMMMMMbass

  24. reaper Says:

    I guess also when I’m working some of what I do includes waiting on others or waiting for things to brake… I often can have lots of time on my hands

  25. reaper Says:

    NS: yummy yummy bass as long as it is cooked right :)
    reaper brakes out the bass master 3000

  26. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My days are made of waiting. Waiting for silly reports from Ontario

  27. Vanamonde Says:

    Still watching Murder She Wrote for muddled aged women TEB? Tsk tsk.

    I enjoyed the latest episode…cough.

  28. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I have no idea what you’re talking about Van, sorry.

  29. reaper Says:

    oooooo it’s a good day some one brought in Kringle!!

  30. Vanamonde Says:

    -u +I

  31. Vanamonde Says:

    Hah!

  32. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m so confused :cry:

  33. Vanamonde Says:

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_(TV_series)?wasRedirected=true

  34. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Boy the board is flighty today

  35. Johnny Null Says:

    WNDRWolf: That other link did not work, either. I listen to podcasts through Firefox. I’ve got VLC installed as my plug-in.

  36. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Yes Van! We were quite surprised to see the actual book in the store. I skipped ahead and the sex scene really does seem to start on page 105 like they mentioned in the show, and the dedication is the same as they mentioned also.

    TV tie ins can sometimes be strange

  37. reaper Says:

    TEB this might help your confusion TGIF toes go in first. Always helps me when I have trouble getting on my shoes.

  38. Johnny Null Says:

    Vanamonde: Being compared to Jim Davis is an insult, IMO, unless you’re talking about his staying power. Garfield hasn’t been funny in decades. Had a good few years in the beginning, though.

  39. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The book is about an upscale reporter named Rook (I groaned at that one too) who does a tag along with an officer for a story he’s writing.

    Gee, I wonder where they got that idea from?

    It’s also only 200 pages, the one on the show looks a lot thicker than that.

  40. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My cat’s being all… cat like. I can’t decide if it’s cute or annoying today.

  41. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hubby gets to come home early this afternoon. Then he has to leave again for a late night meeting/wine and cheese. Personally he’d rather stay home

  42. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    He also woke up with a sore throat. I know this is pretty boring but I’m really just filling up the comment board

  43. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I have to sneak out in about half an hour to buy a new work out mat and some milk so may pick up Chinese food for lunch since it’s on the way.

    I eat so healthily :)

  44. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Where did everybody go :?:

  45. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :cry:

  46. reaper Says:

    I got called away something finely broke.
    Now i have to run over to our other plant.
    reaper feels less gluttonous now

  47. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :???:

  48. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Bye reaper. Have fun repairing

  49. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :arrow:

  50. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :idea:

  51. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The board is still acting a little wonky if you ask me.

  52. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :shock:

  53. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :cool:

  54. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :mad:

  55. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :neutral:

  56. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Alone again

  57. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    :!:

  58. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, I have some shopping to do. Later Panites

  59. ditto Says:

    Hiy’all!!

    Wow. It’s empty in here.

  60. ditto Says:

    I agree with Tee, The Rocketeer is good.

  61. Ed from Texas Says:

    Ah, TEB – I, too know the book. At least by reputation. My wife actually bought a copy for her Kindle. Definitely an interesting twist on tie-ins.

  62. jackmangan Says:

    I think there was some FPM server maint this morning. That might have been what caused the wonk.

  63. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Good Morning, Pan!

    I feel lucky to have missed the wonk drama.

    NS: by calling Scott Kurtz “the Jim Davis of Webcomics”, we mean that he’s quietly successful in the webcomics field.

    Paws Inc (the Jim Davis/Garfield corporation) is a multi-billion dollar per year business. Garfield is simply shown in so many newspapers in so many languages, you wouldn’t think about finding a paper that didn’t carry it. At the same time, stuffed toys, greeting cards, memorabilia, games, movies, etc. make up the lion’s share of the company’s income. Which makes the Garfield Comic strip a strong advertising ploy.

    Now, Scott Kurtz over at PVP isn’t nearly as successful as Jim Davis. He’s not even as successful as Penny Arcade, but he’s made his success on his own terms and he owns his characters, which is exactly where Jim Davis started.

    OK. Stepping away from the lectern.

  64. DJ Bunny Says:

    Bunny’s not happy. My favourite fitness store closed down. Had to go to one a further from my house :(

    But still got what I wanted, now chewing Chinese food waiting for the news to come on

  65. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Sometimes having a neurotic cat is a good thing. She is strictly an in-door cat, but it’s such a nice day I have the back door open while I work in the kitchen. Luckily, I know she won’t go beyond the deck because she’s afraid of grass.

  66. Cj Says:

    I am also a neurotic cat.

  67. Cj Says:

    Ok so the update on my Gram is this: She appears to be recovering. A couple days ago the doc thought she’d had a stroke and she was going to be put in hospice care.

    Now the docs are saying they think it might have been an allergic reaction to some new meds she’s on. They’ve taken her off and she’s stopped hallucinating and actually ate some food.

    So, we are back to seeing what happens next.

  68. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hopefully your roller coaster ride will end soon, Cj

  69. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    On another note, how’s the job hunt going?

  70. jackmangan Says:

    What bugs me about Jim Davis:

    He’s stated that from the get-go, he was creating a franchise to launch merchandising sales in addition to the Sunday Comics base, using data about what had worked for other comics and characters in the past. So Garfield isn’t the inspired work of a genius like Schulz, Watterson, or Larson, driven by wit and a passion for comics, it’s a product designed by an uber-savvy marketing guy.

  71. DJ Bunny Says:

    If it worked, it’s kind of hard to fault the guy. That just makes him the comic version of The Monkees or the Spice Girls

  72. DJ Bunny Says:

    I, however, could never see the appeal

  73. jackmangan Says:

    Yet I feel oddly compelled to stick a Garfield with suction cup paws to my windshield.

  74. Cj Says:

    I’m hitting the “virtual pavement” again today.

    I have an interview next week that looks promising, but not getting my hopes up as they’ve been recently dashed. Keeping my options open!

  75. jackmangan Says:

    Cj, that’s a helluvan emotional rollercoaster. *hugs*

  76. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    jackmangan: Yes. You are correct, sir. In fact, Garfield is based on general principles inspired by Peanuts. Not the clever, funny, early years, but the sedate “Snoopy sleeping on his dog house” years. The comfortable years that everyone felt comfortable with, like a warm security blanket. Very clever marketer, very uber-savvy, and really kind of a wanker on the whole.

    Monotonous. But even more clever is the fact that Jim Davis wants Garfield to stay that way. He doesn’t want his creation to become ridiculously popular. Sudden popularity might kill the franchise. Which is why in the ’90s when the Garfield “stick to the car-window” suction cup toys got pulled from the shelves for 5 years and other Garfield stuffed toys as well. Davis saw a flair up in popularity and put it down for the longevity of the enterprise. He is a good businessman. I also hear that once a week he even tells the people who draw his strip for him what Garfield’s doing that week.

    Makes me sit back and feel sick, but in an awed kind of way.

  77. DJ Bunny Says:

    You see a lot of Garfield back ends sticking out of trunks here. Another thing I could never understand.

    Cj, my fingers, eyes, ears, toes and nose are crossed for you.

  78. Cj Says:

    My kids are actually quite enamored with Garfield right now.

  79. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Cj: More mental empathy emissions heading your way. Scheduled for Noon as usual.

    DJ Bunny: And while the destruction of a Garfield doll and apparent ridicule by the persons sticking it ass-end out of their trunk might seem counter productive – Those guys still payed $15 Canadian or more to do it… Jim Davis wins again…

    CP: “Season of the witch” – Donovan

    Speaking of seasonings … I need to go get some lunch. Maybe a Sand witch.

  93. Vanamonde Says:

    There was a cute/horror sketch on BBC tv involving one of those Garfield suction cup dolls.

    You see a thug break into a car, as he enters the car the audience sees the eyes of Garfield move towards the thief..then you see the thief getting mauled by the doll.

    Naked Video the show was called.

  94. ditto Says:

    I don’t have a problem with Davis targeting a market. It might not make him an artistic genius, but he it also meant he didn’t have to be a starving artist. Besides, he could have been wrong about marketing plan, so you still have to give him credit for taking the risk. Nothing is guaranteed and he certainly worked for his success.

  95. ditto Says:

    Cj: Glad you have some good news. Here’s hoping things continue to improve for you.

  96. justa J0e Says:

    Another philosophical question;

    If you had credit debt so high that your credit was cut off and you were about to have your house and car re-possessed because you couldn’t make those payments … so you went to your Uncle and had him use his considerable net worth to take out a loan and give that money to you to bail you out …

    Would it be out of line for him to expect to have some say in how you spent that money (such as NO lavish spending on yourself) until you had payed him back?

  97. justa J0e Says:

    CP: Theme from the “Halloween” movie.

  98. justa J0e Says:

    CP: “Pet Cemetery” – The Ramones

  99. ditto Says:

    Joe: I’d say yes. If the loan was meant to pay off debt, that’s what it should be used for.

  100. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    J0e: It would not be out of line for him to request no lavish spending before you paid him back IFF no agreed payment schedule was in place. If you agree to pay him back $x per month and you stick to that, and suddenly you find yourself in better financial straights, he has no right to step in and change the agreement and prevent you from going on a cruise or some such.

    It all comes down to whether you say “I’ll pay you back when I can” VS. “I’ll pay you $500 a month”

  101. Vanamonde Says:

    Ok in the UK ‘nookie’ is a slang word for sex.

    Does it mean the same thing in Canada and the USA?

    This was after seeing JB’s post on FB.

  102. jackmangan Says:

    Funny, I just had leftover gnocchi for lunch. . .

  103. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Van: in one of the weird twists of lingual fate, yes, Nookie is a euphemism for sex in the USA, also.

    Your question reminds me of a saying a friend of mine used to have until he was about 26 years old, “And still [pause for dramatic effect] no nookie for Jeff”

  104. Cj Says:

    I did it all for the nookie.

    But, I never got a cookie.

  105. Rhettro Says:

    I am rarely sick, but today I am fighting something. Stiff neck from hell. I’m guessing viral meningitus. =P

  106. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Alas poor, Rhettro. I barely knew him.
    A gentle soul of endless… Viral Meningitus?

  107. justa J0e Says:

  110. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    All this talk of meningitis is making me flash back to just how hot Tia Carrere was in Wayne’s World…

  111. justa J0e Says:

    I . have . no . idea . what . the . connection . is

  112. justa J0e Says:

    … but now I am completely distracted.

  113. ditto Says:

    Well there’s a blast from the past.

  114. justa J0e Says:

    meh
    Had to happen eventually. Surprised it took this long really.

    CP: “Monster Mash” – but not by Borris Picket (???)

  115. EssBee Says:

    Busy day, panties!

    I’m officially two episodes behind now.

  116. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    J0e: Connection is a quote from the movie:

    Cassandra: I’ve been so busy with my band, I thought I was getting meningitis.

  117. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Woo Hoo! I am less behind than EssBee!

    I’m making progress!!!

  118. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: no offense… I just, you know, don’t feel like the slow sperm in the pack anymore… Wait, that could be taken the wrong way… I don’t feel… um… So, what’s your favorite sport?

  119. justa J0e Says:

    Are we comparing behinds now?

  120. justa J0e Says:

    ….. aaaaaaand still distracted.

    http://thestarchives.com/tia/images/_1tia-05.jpg

  121. EssBee Says:

    LOL. I have never been metaphorically called a sperm before, LJ, thanks!

  122. justa J0e Says:

    Clearly, it’s a Ball Room blitz.

    http://thestarchives.com/tia/images/Tia_4.jpg

  123. EssBee Says:

    JOe, what are you doing right now?

  124. EssBee Says:

    Bunny, I was surprised that the Rick Castle book was a real book. Let me know if it’s any good. I’m also reading a new book – Blood Engines by T.A. Pratt (Book 1 of the Marla Mason series). It’s a wanna-be Dresden Files type book. Not bad so far.

  125. reaper Says:

    Evening pan. finely done with my fixin running around, shopping, renting, and taxiing. that all started about 100 nipples ago. the pan has been sizzling… hehe I love puns

  126. reaper Says:

    i just learned i had a Syndrome that is important enough to have it’s own acronym (GBS) I must be a geek because that made me happier about it

  127. justa J0e Says:

    Sorry EssBee … I blame it all on Lejon and his evil, Tia Carrere, distracting ways.
    I fear she may be my Cryptonite.

  128. JohnBoze Says:

    Ah, yes, I meant to share the Nookie Reader observation here, but FPM was down…

  129. reaper Says:

    justa J0e: that bass player can whale… she makes me feel kinda, like when we used climb the rope in gym class…

  130. jackmangan Says:

    Taxiing, reaper? Were you on a runway?

    BTW, I still don’t get the viral meningitis/Tia Carrere connection, and the .jpg’s and sperm metaphors have only confused me further.

  131. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Yes. I believe it’s time to recite the man’s prayer:

    I’m a man.
    But I can change.
    If I have to.
    I guess.

  132. JohnBoze Says:

    As may have been apparent, today was much busier than yesterday.

  133. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    jackmangan: I only tied meningitis to Carrere based on a single quote from Wayne’s World… there’s no other connection. Really.

    Of coures, the .jpgs are… ooh, was that side-boob?

  134. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    I’m mentally preparing for gaming tonight.

    We are playing one of the following:

    Dominion: Intrigue
    Time Bandits
    Colossal Arena

    I’m not excited about any of these, but it’s not my night to choose.

    At least there’ll be good company.

  138. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Sometimes I feel like I’m going in circles

  139. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    You know, Tia Carrere and Kelly LeBrock hold special places in my memory.

  140. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Magic and technology
    Voodoo dolls and chants
    Electricity
    Were makin

    weird science

  141. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    OK. I’ve officially had too much caffeine today…

    I’m out for the night, Panites!

    May your Ballrooms always Blitz, may your Nuclear Wessels always be in Alameda, and may your Barbie Dolls always grow up to be smarter than Einstein and have magical powers…

  142. jackmangan Says:

    I remember broadcast TV altering the Weird Science line,
    “But first I’d like to butter your muffin”

    to the much more family friendly:
    “but first I’d like to better know you, muffin”.

  151. Cj Says:

    “‘Cassandra, I have to say it–You look excellent.”

    “Thanks. I’ve been so busy lately with my band, I thought I was getting meningitis.”

    “I thought I had mono for an entire year. It turned out I was just really bored… You’re so fine You’re so fine, you blow my mind…”

    How do you tell a friend that he’s not really being helpful… he’s being more like… a royal pain in the ….

    le sigh

    le smack!

    I’m just pointing it out, I had nothing to do with it.

  154. JohnBoze Says:

    Er, unless my singing was most excellent…

    nah

  155. Cj Says:

    The friend of whom I speak has nothing to do with nor has ever had anything to do with Deadpan.

    I promise. :)

    Deadpanties are purrrrfect and helpful and loving.

    I *swooooon* for all Deadpanties.

  156. Cj Says:

    I have a crockpot full of pumpkin and an oven full of roasting pumpkin seeds.

    It’s all hot and it smells good.

  157. Cj Says:

    and.. my fingers smell like pumpkin… mmmm

  158. jackmangan Says:

    Pumpkin is the finest of the fall flavors. Aside from Oktoberfest.

    So Lejon went to play an Atari ST game tonight with his friends? An Atari ST game party would seriously rock. For about 45 minutes.

    I often quote the “I thought I had mono for an entire year…..” line, but I’d somehow forgotten the meningitis joke.

  159. Cj Says:

    I bet my fingers taste like pumpkin…

    What? Who said that? That wasn’t me. :oops:

  160. Cj Says:

    Clearly, I’m in dire need of sleep.
    Please excuse my delirium.

    I’m taking tonight off from work. I had an extra sick day, so…

    I figure I’ll do something or other quietly while everyone sleeps.

  162. Nomad Scry Says:

    And with that a wahoo. Opera Mini is working fine for now – with images off and mobile view enabled. Which is fine. I prefer working to pretty.

  163. jackmangan Says:

    A quiet wahoo then, Nomad.

    CPIMM: Metallica – Sanitarium

    It’s stuck there. Crap. How can I sleep with this song stuck in my brain?

    Welcome to where time stands still
    No one leaves and no one will
    Moon is full, never seems to change
    Just labeled mentally deranged
    Dream the same thing every night
    I see our freedom in my sight
    No locked doors, no windows barred
    No things to make my brain seem scarred

    Sleep, my friend, and you will see
    That dream is my reality
    They keep me locked up in this cage
    Can’t they see it’s why my brain says “rage”

    Sanitarium, leave me be
    Sanitarium, just leave me alone

    Build my fear of what’s out there
    Cannot breathe the open air
    Whisper things into my brain
    Assuring me that I’m insane
    They think our heads are in their hands
    But violent use brings violent plans
    Keep him tied, it makes him well
    He’s getting better, can’t you tell?

    No more can they keep us in
    Listen, damn it, we will win
    They see it right, they see it well
    But they think this saves us from our hell

    Sanitarium, leave me be
    Sanitarium, just leave me alone
    Sanitarium

    Just leave me alone

    Fear of living on
    Natives getting restless now
    Mutiny in the air
    Got some death to do
    Mirror stares back hard
    kill is such a friendly word
    seems the only way
    for reaching out again

    When did morning happen?

    There I was in bed, minding my own business when WHAM! Morning happened. What was that about?

  177. justa J0e Says:

    Morning Pan.

    Glad you have upgraded your condition EssBee.

  178. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    EssBee. The book reads a lot like an episode of Castle. Being only 200 pages it’s a fairly quick read. I started it on Wednesday and only have 20 pages left so will most likely finish it today.

    If you like the show, you’ll probably like the book. Bring popcorn.

  179. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It’s almost 7:30 and it’s still completely black outside. I think this morning is mocking me.

  180. justa J0e Says:

    LOL

    Just reading where the head of Faux’ News department met in private with a White House official to try and plead for his reporter. Seems that about a week ago or so, the White House cut off Faux News from news conferences citing that they had abandon standard reporting practices, replacing facts with opinions and were no longer considered a news agency.

    Basically, the head of Faux news department was asking the White House to try and keep a distinction between his news reporters (and their 10 minutes of actual news coverage) and the anti-Obama commentators that made up the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of Faux’s daily broadcast.

  181. Johnny Null Says:

    I missed a ton yesterday, so trying to catch up

    ditto: I was unimpressed by The Rocketeer. Of course, it could’ve been because of the insane amount of hype surrounding it for so long. I doubt any movie could’ve lived up to it.

    I also recall the VHS version took quite some time to come out, and originally had a price tag in the neighborhood of $120.

  182. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hubby is sick, sick, sick today. He’s not a happy camper. Had to go into work regardless because he’s meeting with the provincial minister of education (not just him, all admin in his system).

    And a tsk to Mr. Tee: Buckaroo wasn’t “sitting around” when he said, “No matter where you go, there you are.”. He interrupted his concert, since he is, of course, also a rock star, to console a crying woman. He sensed her sorrow.

    But I would totally go for a Buckaroo Banzai Palooza. Mind you, I can’t name a single actor in the movie, apart from John Lithgow (sp?). Odd what we remember.

    Really must try to wake up :lol:

  210. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Let’s see… what’s on the menu for the upcoming week that I’ll need groceries for:

    Maybe I’ll do a Beef Satay tomorrow
    Rosemary Cream Steak on Sunday
    Mini Meatloaf on Monday
    Tuesday is MA so it’s leftover night
    Wednesday will be Spaghetti and Meatballs
    Thursday is also MA so it’s leftovers again
    Friday is gaming so it’s fast food night.

    That sounds like a good week’s menu. Now to write down what I need for groceries…

    Later!

  211. ditto Says:

    You ever notice how certain people never really listen? Things don’t need to be this difficult.

  212. ditto Says:

    Haven’t done much cooking lately. Probably won’t have time over the weekend. But, I should dig through the cookbooks and come up with a meal plan. Something different for a change.

    ditto: I know my job isn’t unique with this and I also have users who just don’t listen.
    user: “So… the you think it’s the hard drive”
    In my head: “no moron I just said it wasn’t or are you just referring to the PC as “hard drive”"
    what I actually say: “not sure I’ll have to take a look at the event log but we’ll get it fixed”

  218. ditto Says:

    reaper: Yep, it is a very human thing.

    It is also a really frustrating part of the computer industry, something that the industry as a whole is purposely blind about. It is easier to claim that some piece of technology or process is at fault rather than admit that the overwhelming majority of project failures are the result of communication failures.

  219. reaper Says:

    ditto: Preach it brother!!! people don’t respond well to being told they didn’t listen. I have at least 4 users that I often just copy and paste something I wrote earlier in the email thread. I get comments from other users who are CCed in the email asking if that is what I did. we get a lot of laughs from that kind of thing. I am VERY glad our cubes are the only ones in the storm shelter at work because we rant, complain, let off steam, and laugh quite a bit in our little concrete bunker.

  220. reaper Says:

    oooo finely lunch time. 2 slices of heaven here I come

  221. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    There. Groceries have been shopped and cookies are in the oven. The house is even starting to smell like baking. mmmmmmm.

  222. Jack Mangan Says:

    I saw a good Slate article yesterday calling out to actual journalists to stop appearing on FoxNews segments, to stop treating it as if it were a legitimate outlet for News or unbiased commentary. Nothing like a boycott, just a cold shoulder. I’d talked to J0e offline once about making a similar statement onpod about the loudmouth faux-right opportunists. I still might, but I’ll probably just keep the politics on the billiards table. :)

    Now to get fully caught up.

  223. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    jackmangan: Actually, the Time Bandits game in question is either a board game or a card game (can’t find much on it, and I’ve never played before).

    Coincidentally, Wednesday night I assisted a friend who recently found/acquired an old Atari 2600 system with games. They needed an RF Modulator and matching transformer, which (so they said) you can no longer purchase in retail establishments such as “Radio Shack”. Since I had a couple to spare, I doled out. They paid in Sushi. I felt that worked out well.

  224. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cookies out of the oven and dishes washed. Now… what should I have for lunch?

  225. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Kitty won’t let me fold the laundry. She decided the warm clothes in the basket would make a good bed.

    Silly Kitty!

  226. reaper Says:

    sometimes when I fold the towels my dog will sit on them as I fold and stack them on the couch. when I keep stacking them on top of him he doesn’t seam to mind. I don’t think he would like it if I tried to put him away with the towels though.

  227. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My cat gets upset if I try to fold her :)

  228. reaper Says:

    I bet the hardest part would be keeping her folded

  229. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My boss is being a schmo.

    Actually she’s not being unreasonable, but she’s asking questions that I know we weren’t prepared to answer.

    She’s starting to do her budget for next year (the joys of working for a big corporation) and wants to plan a trip out to see me in the spring (since, by then it will be close to two years since we’ve seen each other face to face).

    She knows, with hubby in the teaching profession, I take time off in the spring. I know hubby and I are taking a week in April, but there was talk of a DP meet up in March. Not to be all deadliny on y’all, but she’s asking me for a ballpark date by month end (next Friday), so she can give a rough date to the powers that be for her trip out here.

    Since it’s really Jack’s thing, I’m asking him if the weekend of March 13th would work. Cj? Other Panites?

  230. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My last report came in for the day! Going to watch the news then play Risen.

    Busy, busy, busy

  231. Cj Says:

    I don’t have anything scheduled that day. I don’t mind inking it now.

  232. reaper Says:

    TEB: enough with the silliness time to play a game!!

  233. reaper Says:

    CP: BOL 1087

  234. ditto Says:

    TEB: Beware the ides of March?

  235. Jack Mangan Says:

    I believe that’s the first weekend of SXSW, but I highly doubt I can justify that kind of expense. March 13 should work for me to do the next Deadpan MMMmmmeetup. That will also give you cold-climate folks a break.

  236. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Call me thick but what’s SXSw?

  237. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Reaper, in this case, it’s not the Pan Board that is silliness, it’s the news :)

  238. Jack Mangan Says:

    SXSW = South By SouthWest, yearly music/media/tech party/conference in Austin, TX.

  239. Cj Says:

    I’d love to attend SXSW, but I’m definitely going to Comicon!

  240. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    JØ: off the top of my head, with no WIKI help:

    I still have 30 more minutes of silliness, than about 40 minutes of driving silliness maybe even some store silliness to pick up stuff for dinner…
    Enough with the silliness. I just want to sit on the couch with a beer

  242. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It doesn’t have to be March 13th Jack, if you’ve got other, even hoped for, plans. The week before or the week after will also work. I just picked the 13th as mid-month.

    I do have a week before my boss starts poking me for a decision.

  243. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    JØ: Yes. It was the best part of Red Green, and always came at the end…

    reaper: is it possible your cube is rubic like this:
    http://joelle19938.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/bw.jpg

  244. Jack Mangan Says:

    Big Boo-tay! Tay! Buckaroo Banzai is awesome dated fun.

    MAke sure it’s silly beer, reaper.

  245. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My office is like a rubic’s cube. Colourful and confusing

  246. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ok, I have monsters to kill. Will alt/tab and check in regularly.

  247. Cj Says:

    Just realized that I’m still using my old website information on occasion and that website is gone as we didn’t renew the domain name.

  248. Cj Says:

    And also. I think Dan might have a comment in moderation. He said something about posting something, but I haven’t seen it.

  249. reaper Says:

    Lejon: more gray in the middle but the “hold it together”parts are about that dark. though I have standard fabric walls so I can hang things other wise I would go crazier!!

  250. reaper Says:

    Jack: I think I’ll go with skittlebrau that seams silly enough.
    Actually I just picked up Bud Light Golden Wheat. Not a bad attempt at taste for light beer. I recommend it if it is on sale… and you have a good coupon…

  251. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    For light beer we go with the local brewery. Big Rock Jackrabbit is a nice tasting light beer

  252. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Time for lunch!

  253. reaper Says:

    I live in Wisconsin so I have some pretty good choices because on top of the locals we can also get Chicago and Twin City beers. My Favorite is Spotted Cow on tap (not the same in the bottle). When I get to a brew pub I don’t recall ever getting a light beer so I don’t know how that stack up.

  254. justa J0e Says:

    Yea for symphony of science !!!

    Yea for Buckaroo Bonzai !! I like “Buckapolooza” :)

  255. JohnBoze Says:

    I can endorse Spotted Cow (anything outta New Glarus, really). I had a Big Rock Grasshopper two weekends ago. My favorite Twin Cities brewery is Surly. Wingin’ It listeners may recall when I sent Surly Furious to Evo. Not sure if Jack was in studio that day…

  256. JohnBoze Says:

    Reaper, you live in Wisconsin which means you can get Stone & Dogfish Head too. Always irks me that you can get those in WI, but not in MN.

  257. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I can get Dogfish in Calgary, but not Stone

  258. reaper Says:

    JohnBoze: I don’t recall seeing any Stone in my neck of the woods but I will keep an eye our for it. I haven’t gotten adventurous enough for Dogfish head yet but I am always tempted.

  259. justa J0e Says:

    I heard you can get stoned in Calgary, but not fish for dogs.

  260. Rhettro Says:

    I’d definately be in for a Buckapolooza. :)

    But that movie was so painfully 80’s I remember thinking it was dated in while watching it for the first time IN the 80’s. LOL Still the best movie with a surgeon/guitar hero as the main character.

  261. JohnBoze Says:

    Reaper, where are you? I have relatives in Madison & Marshfield…

  262. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Other way around, J0e. I can fish for dogs but not get stoned ;)

  263. reaper Says:

    JohnBoze, about an hour north of Madison and Milwaukee and an hour south of Green Bay. so the middle of nowhere… Fond du Lac

  264. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Have stopped playing Risen. Am now going to build cities.

  265. reaper Says:

    I had a friend that like to fish for squirrels… Fishing seams like the wrong name for that but I guess at least people know what you mean…

  266. JohnBoze Says:

    You’ve got a casino, no?

  267. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    This region of conversation is leaving me in the need for an Overthruster Brew with a Lectroid chaser… Perhaps I will pretend to be a businessman slowly getting stoned in Allentown while complaining that I didn’t start the fire, NO I didn’t light it but I’m trying to fight it, and Where Is Orson Wells when you need him???

  268. reaper Says:

    TEB: Time for different silliness :) Yah silliness…
    That reminds I still need to round up some skittles…

  269. reaper Says:

    I think the closes casino to use in Green Bay after that (due to back roads) the closes casino is 2 hours away

  270. reaper Says:

    use = us
    sometimes that fingers just can’t stop…
    do with that what you will hehe ;)

  271. JohnBoze Says:

    “Really Big Things” only ever went to Neillsville and Phillips, but the sequel or prequel might make it to Fond du Lac…

  272. JohnBoze Says:

    Oh, yeah RBT also went to Johnson Creek, though not by name…

  273. Jack Mangan Says:

    Lejon, so much Pressure! Say, will you and the missus be at EVFN later?

    Bony reaper fingers that just can’t stop. *shudder*

  274. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Jack Mangan: Yes. I feel the pressure. It’s like a weight around my chest pressing me down. And still, I can’t figure out why the pod design was bad…

    Yes, my lady and I will be at Whole Foods. She works until 6pm, I’ll be meeting her there.

  275. reaper Says:

    JonhBoze: hearing the name of places I had been added a little to the story for me. Believe it or not there is a farmersville, wi near FDL it has 4x as many animals as people.

  276. Jack Mangan Says:

    JB, it’s about damned time for more RBT, if you ask me. . . (no pressure)

    Lejon, cool. I might see you there, if I can wrap up work and after-work stuff on time.

  277. reaper Says:

    Jack: one hand has stopped now b/c it is now clutching a beer. however 1 handed typing isn’t easy…
    that reminds me I wanted to check for stone & dog fish head beers @ the store… drat foiled again

  278. reaper Says:

    wonder how bony finger would sound on the chalk board… *chills*

  279. JohnBoze Says:

    Sure thing, Jack, we’ll go with a double-release of more RBT from me and more Spherical Tomi from you…

    ;-)

  280. reaper Says:

    we have/had some RBT in town. there is a 30ft high walleye on a trailer. It used to be parked just out side my house when I was growing up. and we have a bull that is about 35ft high. I know both are still around town somewhere… we also have some Sinclare dinosaurs at the local truck stop but they are not big.

    Hope to see you all later!

    Yeah my heart isn’t in it.

    I’m conservative (NOT at republican yes I do thing that is an important distinction) but to me that means I can disagree with you but I can’t tell you what you can do. just like you can disagree with me… and I often enjoy that. if we all agreed we couldn’t grow because we would all (well maybe) be right.
    if i never talked with someone i didn’t agree with i could never change my mind or get better in my argument. I am a conservative because i believe in individuals ability to make things better and i have more i give more. and maybe not the best motivation to do something greed works if someone didn’t want to make money doing what they loved I couldn’t enjoy my spotted cow b/c they couldn’t/wouldn’t do it if they didn’t make money
    where did I put that locker for my soap box…

  312. reaper Says:

    sorry i’m not very good @ grammar and that comment need more commas. all in all thanks for accepting me and giving me a laugh and smile when i need it even though we don’t see eye to eye

  313. reaper Says:

    back to the silliness
    anyone play super smash brother brawl, Mario kart Wii, Dr Mario Wii, or tetris Wii? playing agents random people gets old…
    ya i know i’m a big kid but all my friends play ps3 or xbox games…

  314. EssBee Says:

    reaper: agreed. All views are welcome here, as long as they’re respectful. It’s a community, yo, not a commune.

    CW: BtVS S6, E? The one where Spike and Anya hook up.

  315. Vanamonde Says:

    I’ve got Mario Kart for the Wii Reaper.

  316. reaper Says:

    Van if you are ever up for some kart let me know. I’ll have to dig up my licenses number… I love games that don’t take themselves to seriously…
    kind of a way of live for me

  317. justa J0e Says:

    About to go watch my new (several months old but never opened) DVD copy of “Nightmare before Christmas”.

    Boo!

  318. EssBee Says:

    I was supposed to go (with Sly B) to visit my folks this weekend, and my mom just told me not to come because I sound too sick! Sheesh!

  319. EssBee Says:

    Did someone mention Dogfish Head? Mmmm. Memories . . .

  320. justa J0e Says:

    Aww, you’ll do anything to get out of visiting your folks ;)

  321. justa J0e Says:

    The film is still brilliant BTW.
    I didn’t realize till just now that Pixar had a hand in it.
    Pixar, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman. If they ever decide to take over the world I am going to HAVE to sign up to be one of their henchmen. How could I not?

    On a sad note … part of the magic of this film is the art involved in the “stop motion” film technique. With the huge strides that have been made in Computer animation just since this film came out … it’s easy to forget the effort and almost magical art involved in making those smooth motion shots where the charactures are moving and the camera is revolving around them.

    Now it’s all done on the desktop by an army of minimum wage, pixal pushers and a render farm. Still magic I guess but … kind of like the difference between flying in a commercial airliner and just simply levitating. Both methods are flying but one has that certain something !

    Oh well. A good evening anyway.

  322. Cj Says:

    reaper: Anytime you’d like to be pwned by a 5 year old girl you let me know and we’ll hook you up with Sarah and some Smash Bros. Brawl.

    Or you could play against Dan and it might be a fair fight.

    Srsly though. My daughter kicks da butt!

  323. Vanamonde Says:

    To react or let it slide..time to flip a coin.

  324. jackmangan Says:

    ~Intolerance, trolling, incivility, disrespect, a Deadpanite craves not these things. Otherwise, different intelligent, reasonable viewpoints are welcomed.

    ~Van, I’d say that coin toss depends entirely on the incident.

    ~And on a much more trivial note, I pose the question: Paranormal Activity or Zombieland? Which to go see?

  325. Vanamonde Says:

    Think I will be checking out Fantastic Mr Fox tomorrow, just to beat the kiddie rush as it’s blackberry week.

  326. Nomad Scry Says:

    Catching up:

    Rigid Breast Tissue

    My motto is “Neither a leader nor a follower be” which means that I tend to disagree with anyone who is a [insert label here] – It makes politics interesting.

    I hate and enjoy Smash Bros – I cannot find any sort of skill to it. Just hit buttons fast and hope. Not like DOA2:Hardcore for PS2 where it was almost all skill. Random mashing got you dead, fast.

    Jack – I think the noise around Paranormal Activity reminds me of Blair Witch. Zombieland sounds like it has a hope of not being bad. So…. I vote you see PA so you can tell us how shit it is. =) Okay?

  327. Nomad Scry Says:

    We had to trade in our Wii because it stopped reading discs after we got Smash Bros. Thankfully Nintendo is a babe and made it really easy to send it back for repairs. Turn around was less than a week.

  328. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan!

    The biggest problem with a normal 5am wakeup time is on the weekends you”re awake by 7 am and consider that sleeping in.

    Now for some breakkie

  329. reaper Says:

    TEB a agree. I got up at 8 and was very surprised I was still in bed at that time

  330. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Breakfast eaten. Now what to do?

    CP: Silence Followed By a Deafening Roar – Paul Gilbert

  331. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well reaper, I guess we’ll be able to laugh at those lazy bums who will waist their day away sleeping… oh wait.

  332. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    waist = waste

  333. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    CP: Revelation – Joe Satriani

  334. reaper Says:

    i could enjoy it more if i wasn’t the only one up but i guess that could go either way

  335. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hubby’s awake, but only because he was in bed by 8:00. He’s quite sick so is sleeping lots.

    I told him I better not get it, I’m still fighting my own demons without adding his.

  336. reaper Says:

    0473-7601-7382 is my smash brother friend code. I am normal posting when i’m playing b/c it takes so long to find others to play
    5112-3847-8093 is my kart number. i’m a little rusty on that but I at one point get gold on all the tracks I still don’t have start rating on the mirror tracks though

  337. reaper Says:

    being sick is no fun my daughter is sick and she feel horrible

  338. Vanamonde Says:

    I’m at work, so all you lot not working on Saturday are the lazy bums!

  339. justa J0e Says:

    *YAWN stretch*
    Morning Pan.

  340. reaper Says:

    Smash brothers is a game where you can get very far but button mashing and i do that when i get frustrated and then i suck. I think the game is so much fun for me because there are challenges that force you to get better at attacks or blocking and dodging. I only have 11 of them left but some are also just tedious like brawl for 100 hours or collect all stickers/CD.

  341. justa J0e Says:

    Jack – If you’ll recall Ed’s review of Zombieland … I don’t know how you COULDN’T go see it !
    As I recall, he said “It was very VERY wrong… and I liked it!”

  342. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, I have to admit, my bum is feeling pretty lazy today :)

    Morning J0e

  343. reaper Says:

    Van: I’m very glad i’m not at work. if i where something major would have broken

  344. EssBee Says:

    Morning, DP. *cough cough*

  348. Cj Says:

    Good morning. My, you’ve all been busy bees.

    I’ve already returned a video game to Hollywood and went to check on my Gram.

    She’s much worse, although she did seem to realize at one point that I was there. I was able to get some water in her and reminder her how much we love her. She’s being re-evaluated by hospice today. I don’t believe we have much longer – but I’m really in no place to make that determination. So I wait.

  349. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Sneaking out for a few minutes but won’t be going to MA. It’s snowing way to hard, I’m afraid I won’t make it back home after.

  350. Vanamonde Says:

    Sad news Cj, I hope your Gram can go peacefully.

    TEB: Dogfish Head beer is excellent. One of my tops when I drank beer.

  354. Johnny Null Says:

    EssBee: Are you doing NaNoWriMo as well, or is there another EssBee out there?

  355. Johnny Null Says:

    justa J0e: I agree. Wallace and Grommit is also an excellent showcase of stop-motion animation. There’s a charm that’s virtually impossible in any other medium. It also lends “weight” to the characters and environment, since they actually exist. To my eyes, the ships in Star Wars look more realistic than more recent movies, since they were actually fabricated. Yes, it’s obvious they employed serious kit-bashing, but they have substance.

    In contrast, look at The Matrix trilogy. In which ever movie had the exploding skyscraper (the third, I think?), they employed insane amounts of data and horsepower to render scenes. They sent the fabric used for Neo’s trenchcoat to NASA to get quantifiable data on the reflective/refractive/and so on properties of the material. But watch him fly through the building while it’s exploding. It looked phony and dated. When it was first in the movies it looked cheesy. Imagine what it will look like in say, five years from now.

    Even though I love tech, and I’d love to work professionally with Blender/Lightwave/Maya, there are real limits to what it can achieve.

  356. Johnny Null Says:

    Cj: It’s sad and terrible to go through these things in life. I hope we can be at least some semblance of humor, heart, stability, and support.

  357. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The weather man said we might get some rain. He didn’t say anything about snow of death :mrgreen:

  358. Johnny Null Says:

    On the topic of politics, I tend to be picky about where and when I talk about it. There’s several reasons.

    * People can get very touchy about the subject, and I’d rather not get into a fight, verbal or physical, if I can get away with it.
    * I’m more often online at work, but I typically have very little time to poke my head in and say something. So I do not have the time to read or formulate anything of much substance.
    * Growing up, my father would talk to us about politics. The most boring, dreadful garbage you have to hear as a child.
    * I tend to be in the John Stewart camp. People spend too much time labeling themselves and waving flags simply because they’re on one team or another, not actually working towards “the greater good”.
    * Talk is cheap. People don’t do anything.
    * Your vote really doesn’t count.

  359. Johnny Null Says:

    Yesterday I saw a car with the vanity tag: PC WHIZ. I just don’t know if that means he likes computers, or if he advocates Kegel exercises.

  360. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Only if he’s politically correct about those exercises JN ;)

    raining now – much bette

  361. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    maybe add an r to that last post

    Well, I’ve got graves to dig up.

  363. JohnBoze Says:

    So word is Fox News was not on the list of networks who requested invites to the Treasury interview mainly due to the fact that Fox News never requested an interview.

  371. JohnBoze Says:

    November this year is far too full of other crap to consider registering an official Nanowrimo bid, but I have been thinking about working the structure of and possibly beginning some RBT-related writing.

  372. Johnny Null Says:

    Cool beans, Mr. Boze

  373. reaper Says:

    after noon pan, just watched “a first look” at V looks interesting. I remember the TV show/Mini-series as a kid and as I recall I really enjoyed it. The new one looks cool the first 9:30 minutes of the 10 minute video was a waist of time though

  374. reaper Says:

    CW: Stargate Universe: Light

  375. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: I never saw it. I don’t recall if I was too young, or if I was just in trouble at the time. The latter is more likely.

  376. justa J0e Says:

    EssBee – There can bee only one.

  377. justa J0e Says:

    RE: Faux News
    I’m still trying to figure the connection between Faux and CNBC. I must have missed something.

  378. justa J0e Says:

    CNBC? or was it MSNBC ? Oh well, one of those.

    Now a connection between Faux news and a “docudrama” or maybe an infomercial for the “Slap Chop” … THAT comparison I get.

  379. Cj Says:

    OK. I’m back home now. Went to PodcampAZ meeting. Not sure I accomplished anything, but one can hope.

    Gonna have some chill time now.

  380. reaper Says:

    SGU light was pretty good. so far my least favorite but it was still good.
    Johnny: I have the V mini-series and it is pretty good for the time. I was young when the series was on, it aired 84-85. I might just be remembering it through the SF hungry eyes of youth…

  381. reaper Says:

    CW: CSI: New York: Battle Scars
    I know i have to turn off my brain when I watch but i’m ok with that

  382. Cj Says:

    I am looking forward to V. I remember watching it when I was younger, but I don’t remember the details. I just know it was on in my house. I was never a huge TV kid, but this does seem like it will be a fun watch!

  383. reaper Says:

    Cj: if it weren’t for winter I wouldn’t ever watch TV as a kid

  384. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: Alright, I’ll add it to my Netflix queue.

  385. Vanamonde Says:

    SGU:Light

    I was reminded of how Rama was refueled in Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama.

  386. reaper Says:

    Johnny: have you tried the streaming from Netflix? I have a TIVO and would love to get Netflix just for the streaming

  387. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: I’m not aware of a way to stream Netflix with Linux. To my knowledge, when announced, it’s going to built up around Moonlight/Silverlight/WTFIt’sCalledThisWeek.

  388. EssBee Says:

    Sleepy.

  389. reaper Says:

    Johnny: That sucks. That type of thing is what keeps we away from Linux. well that and the fact that I don’t want to spend time getting things to work. I don’t like looking at PCs past messing around after work.

  390. Cj Says:

    So this kid is giving away windows 7 if 30 people come to his chat room http://www.blogtv.com/People/eric1012226

  391. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: I’ve done a ton of distro-hopping. I’ve found very little in the way of hassle. Far less than my Windows box at work. I even ran Arch Linux. I had problems in Arch largely due to the fact I kept trying out new DEs and WMs. I’ve been running Ubuntu Studio for quite some time with only two niggling annoyances. I’m sure that I can fix them, but I’m about to switch to a different distro, probably Sabayon.

    As long as you pop in a LiveCD of the distro you’re interested in and it works, you’re pretty much golden.

  392. Johnny Null Says:

    I just made a garlic marinade for steaks. It’s practically sexual.

  393. Johnny Null Says:

    Hey, uh . . . trivial trivia here. Ya know those spinny blade things at the bottom of a blender? Those are sharp. Just figured I’d let people know.

  394. Rhettro Says:

  395. Jack Mangan Says:

    Johnny Null, I don’t usually advise preparing steak in the blender.

  396. reaper Says:

    Johnny: I think the most important hurtle is the SAF (spouse acceptance factor) I tried Linux first back in 98 but no one made a driver for my video card (still haven’t) so the best i ever go for res was 640X480 that made it imposable to do anything. when i have messed with linux in the past i liked it

  397. Cj Says:

    Hi, everyone. I have spent the evening with my mom and uncle saying goodbye to my Grandma. She passed away a few hours ago and is finally resting well. She lived a long life full of love and laughter and while I know she’ll be missed, I’m definitely relieved that she is at peace and that I was able to kiss her this morning and tell her that I loved her and hear her tell me she loved me in return.

    You’ve all been so wonderfully supportive. Thank you. *hugs*

  398. reaper Says:

    Cj: I know there isn’t anything any of us can say that will make it easier but we are here round the clock too as it seams. I lost most of my grandparents more than 10 years a go. it is a hard one.

  399. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    JØ: Have you tried Boxee? I hear it’s supposed to be able to connect you to your Netflix account for streaming.

  403. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thank you for sharing that, Cj.
    Major *hugs* and *support*. Whatever you need, let me know.

  404. justa J0e Says:

    CJ – *HUGS*

  405. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: Understood.

  406. Johnny Null Says:

    Cj: You’re wonderfully lucky to have had such a beautiful send-off. When I last saw my (maternal) grandmother, she was very heavily sedated. She was obviously reacting to what I was saying, but it was so very muted. She couldn’t even open her eyes. To have a last exchange like you had, that’s something to really cherish.

  407. Johnny Null Says:

    Lejon: Forgot about that one! No, I actually have not. It’s actually on my list of things-to-do. First I am going to swap distros, and then try to find a way to pipe content over to the television without spending too much. I can’t stand watching movies/shows on the computer. Perhaps I’m old.

  408. Johnny Null Says:

    I’ve heard much recently of the Star Wars Christmas Special. I’m glad that I never saw it.

  409. Johnny Null Says:

    Jack: That is excellent culinary advice!

    We’re trying smoothies for healthy, low-cal snacks.

    We’re also switching to almond milk for most things. 50 calories per cup as opposed to 90 in skim milk.

  410. Vanamonde Says:

    I salute you JN, but milk without fat is so pointless for me I would rather do without..fat adds to the taste in a way that so hard to describe.

  411. JohnBoze Says:

    Johnny Null, good for you! Unfortunately here we also need to look at ¢/cup more than cal./cup.

  412. Johnny Null Says:

    Vanamonde: Yes, we much prefer the taste of whole milk. Then we switched after reading the concerns over the hormones in milk. Oh, and we’re very big on cheese. That’s a tough one.

  413. Johnny Null Says:

    JohnBoze: Oh, we’re paying off debt here and are on a modified Dave Ramsey plan. No living high on the hog here. Whatever the hell that means. Lady J tells me the cost is pretty much comparable, since milk keeps going up. Especially if you get the larger sizes.

  414. Vanamonde Says:

    iPhone/ipod Touch owners, still time to pickup 3 free games:

    http://toucharcade.com/2009/10/24/its-three-for-free-on-this-crazy-donut-games-weekend/

  415. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: So Netflix lists V: The Complete T.V. Series (1983) and V: The Original Miniseries (1983). Which should I choose?

  416. Johnny Null Says:

    Oh, and in the way of movie updates, it was indeed The Thing From Another World. And the arm-chomping scene was clearly from the remake. I think it holds up very well.

    We also watched for the first time Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Enjoyable, but not great. Lady J says that she preferred the remake, which she’s seen some years ago.

  417. reaper Says:

    Johnny: guess that depends on how much time you want to invest. you can get the story from the miniseries was only 200 minutes or so. i don’t recall seeing anything game changing in the 19 hour full series but I was pretty young.

  418. Cj Says:

    Morning. Thanks for the free game link, Van. I’m downloading them. My kids love to play games on the ipod touch. Good for when we are stuck … anywhere for a time.

  419. Cj Says:

    Thank you again to everyone for your kindness.
    JN: I agree. It was a blessing to have the time with my Gram. My life is very blessed and I appreciate how lucky I am to have the love that I do have in my life.

  420. Cj Says:

    And now… it’s Sunday morning and my kids want pumpkin pancakes. So, pumpkin pancakes shall be made.

  421. reaper Says:

    Cj: I might be alone in this but pumpkin is by far one of my favorite flavors. That might be a byproduct getting sick from chocolate, things that are overly sweet and certain forms of milk. Pumpkin tends to not violate any of the few but weird dietary requirements.

  422. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan

    *hugs-hugs-hugs*
    Damn, I used all my hug e-cards at the wrong time.

    Got the three free games (Thanks Van). Now it’s Risen time.

  423. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: Thanks. The miniseries it is.

  424. reaper Says:

    Johnny: no problem i just hope i’m not sending you down the wrong path. looking at the dates of everything i was only 4-6 when the showed aired and we didn’t have cable so i wouldn’t have cough any reruns on a scifi channel.

  425. Vanamonde Says:

    So two series off my watch list, Three Rivers (as mentioned too peachy) and now Mercy. I tried watching the first episode last night but only managed 20 minutes.

  426. Nomad Scry Says:

    It has been so long since I read Rendezvous with Rama, I have no idea how the refueling happened. In fact… I don’t think I can actually remember anything about that book.

    Then again, it has been 15 years or more.

  427. Johnny Null Says:

    I’m off to a PNNWMMU. See you all tomorrow.

  428. Ed from Texas Says:

    Holy Crap you guys have been busy! I am now back on line after a clean install with Windows 7. Stepped up to 64 bit land this time. My Nvidia driver is giving me trouble.

    I’ve finally caught up reading comments and….now I must run away again. Daughter has a karate tournament soonly.

    CJ – my sympathies for your Gram, but I’m glad that you were able to get some closure with her.

  429. Jack Mangan Says:

    Ed from Texas, tell her to sweep the leg.

    So, I took *did* see Zombieland instead of Paranormal Activity, and it was indeed a lot of fun. I don’t know how much further the zombie comedy can be stretched (Dead Alive, Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead)

    I also remember greatly enjoying Rendezvous with Rama about 15 years ago, but also don’t remember the refueling.

    V: Weren’t there 2 miniseries? As hokey as they were, avoid the syndicated TV show at all costs.

    Oh Rhett: that was me on the bridge. Sorry about the traffic jam.

  430. Vanamonde Says:

    Preachy rather than peachy..um .

    The refuelling happens right near the end, where Rama surrounds itself in a shield at it’s closest approach to the Sun and drains off some material from the Sum. The Endeavour is caught in the wake when Rama switches in it’s non-Newtonian drive..

  431. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just finished a game of Arkham Horror with my hubby. We have never managed to beat that game. So, while it’s fun, it’s also quite frustrating to play a game that seems winless.

    Friends of ours want to get together and play it on Halloween. Maybe it will be easier to beat with more players, but i have my doubts.

    Now to build cities.

  432. Vanamonde Says:

    Oh and Fantastic Mr Fox was indeed fantastic, worth checking out.

    There was a family sitting near me, and near the beginning one of the young children blurted out:

    how can they talk?

    A skeptic in the making…

  433. Vanamonde Says:

    Is it actually winnable TEB? HP Lovecraft was infamous for unhappy endings. Maybe the designers are keeping in the spirit of the stories.. :)

  434. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The game is considered pretty much impossible for two players without adding some house rules. We’ve never played with more than 3 people.

    Now… some lady of pain http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/toon/20090923

  435. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Apparently it is winnable. But you’re right, it was deliberately made difficult, though.

  436. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think I’m computered out. I might read for a bit.

    I forgot to answer the question from earlier:

    Woot.com has a color code that represents the number of purchases you’ve made. I was a happy black boxer a long time ago at 25. But then the criteria increased. I was addicted, so it did not take long to get my box back to black at 50. Of course, they increased it again.

    And I’m soooo itching to get my box back. Why? Cuz Woot says I’m better than you if I have a black box. And I trust Woot.

    I wish I was only being sarcastic.

  455. Nomad Scry Says:

    I bet Cj is a black boxer. Or just a really lucky girl, what with the Bag of Carrots.

  456. Cj Says:

    um.
    I don’t get it. Black boxer?

  457. Nomad Scry Says:

    When you log into Woot – what color is the little box to the right of your username? I’m a purple right now.

  458. Cj Says:

    It’s green.

  459. Nomad Scry Says:

    You have managed your addiction much better than I did.

    Much much better, since we joined at roughly the same time.

    You know what was a great invention?

    Cream cheese. It’s perfect pretty much and almost as good as sour cream.
    I love sour cream.

    And cream cheese.

    Creamy things are good.

    And, it’s Monday.

    My daughter did well at her tournament yesterday. I’ll post video if Facebook will ever cooperate.

    I spent the better part of yesterday evening fighting with Windows 7. It’s definitely an improvement over Vista, but far from perfect. I still had to fully disable UAC in order to get my Ipod to sync. I also had to disable the “glass” windows in order to keep my video driver from crashing every few seconds. Most times, it would “recover”, but every so often, it would go full blue screen. I don’t think I ever had a blue screen with Vista.

  478. justa J0e Says:

    It’s a “feature”.

  479. justa J0e Says:

I expect to run into HellZiggy & Hellbob, Bill Corbett of MST3K fame, and possibly John Moe (formerly of Weekend America public radio show.

  498. reaper Says:

    I have some holiday time left. I think I’ll book the week of Christmas off, then I’ll have a seven day weekend :)

  501. EssBee Says:

    Morning, Pan!

    I’m home today, using up a pre-planned vacation day. Glad to have it too, because I’m still coughing from deep within those lungs.

    Yanks vs. Phils. Meh.

  502. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m just going to do an overall Good Morning since people are signing on fast and furious now.

    Not into baseball, EssBee. Now if you want to talk about Saturday’s Calgary/Edmonton hockey game, I’m in.

  503. reaper Says:

    Reaper wishes he had a local hockey team to watch.
    The cloeset i have is the Green Bay Gamblers or Milwaukee admirals
    NHL Action is a bit to far away 4 hours to Chicago or the Twin Cities are a bit far away

  504. reaper Says:

    I find it hard to support a team i can’t watch on a regular basis

  505. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    reaper, sometimes the minors are just as exciting and even more so than the majors. We also have a minor league team, The Hitmen, who I’ve seen on a number of occasions. Our minor league players will go into the main area after the game and sign autographs. My daughter has a number of autographs from players who are now in the majors.

  506. Nomad Scry Says:

    *throws oil on the fire*

    I support Team Cullen.

    Well I guess I can’t say that anymore… we are getting a WNBA team…

  511. Nomad Scry Says:

    Bun, no problem. I sometimes enjoy playing, but I generally find watching/following sports to be … boring? Not sure exactly what word I want.

    I like Pente. :D

  523. Vanamonde Says:

    Never been a great fan of watching team sports, although will indulge when the World Cup is on.

    Spotify is streaming the Flash theme to my speakers as I type.

    So got a replacement 3GS from Apple, using the 3G again for a few days really shows how poor an upgrade the 3GS has been..really is a point release.

  524. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    On the phone with the phone (hold) car service place to arrange a winter check up and putting winter tires on my car. Exciting.

  526. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Took down the curtains. Am trying to decide if I want to replace them with blinds. Blinds are easier to wipe from splash up (window by sink), but curtains are ultimately easier to clean. Simply take them down and throw them in washing machine.

    hmmmm, must consult hubby on this one…

    I think I shall indulge in some “me” time.

    That’s easy for him to say, he won’t be the one changing them.

    Tune in again, to see if she can escape almost certain drapery.

  535. reaper Says:

    I love watching the minors in hockey even the FDL Bears are fun to watch but I can’t see any team on TV on a regular basis and at $5/game/person i just can’t afford it. we try to see the Green Bay team a few times a season. The resch center is an awesome venue for games.

  536. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I discovered that, while my stove may be on wheels, my fridge is not. No cleaning under the fridge for me. It’ll have to stay yuck.

  537. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Good Morning, Pan!

    The wife and I started watching Dexter last night.
    *shudder*

    It’s totally creepy… We can’t stop watching… Something must be dreadfully wrong with us…

  538. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I suppose it could be worse. I made the curtains for three of the rooms in the house. This time I get to buy them. Although, if I don’t find any curtains I like for a price I’m willing to pay…

  539. reaper Says:

    Bunny: I often don’t notice when my wife changes something around the house and I at least so far haven’t told her we need a change. She tends to get sick of things much sooner then me.

  540. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    A note on V:

    Does anyone else think that Independence Day (ID4) ripped off the whole “giant space ship hovering over your major population center” bit from V?

  541. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ack! Found an eight legged enemy in one of the storage cupboards. I guess that cupboard won’t be cleaned until after hubby gets home.

  542. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    TEB: Hrm. Curtains or Blinds… Pretty or functional… I’m a guy, and they always told me I’d go blind, so I’m thinking Curtains…

  543. reaper Says:

    TEB, you may want to check to see if you have one stabilizing foot under the door hinges. On my fridge that is what kept my wife from pulling out it out when we needed to de-frost it after one of the kids left the freezer door open a little.

  544. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    reaper: My husband was bad for changing furniture around. I use to work in an office and, during the summer when he was home, I would often come home to the furniture moved around.

    The last time he did it though, I made him stop. He tried to move the china cabinet on his one and it fell on him. Besides breaking a number of objects, he needed stitches. – he did empty it but it fell on him and he fell backwards onto the items -. I was not happy when I got a phone call at work asking if we had any antiseptic and over sized bandages.

  545. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    one = own

    reaper – I’ll wait until hubby gets home. See last post ;)

  546. reaper Says:

    Lejon: YES!!! that was the first thought I had saw it. I fear a new generation might get that backward…
    wonder who had that idea in a book first though…

  547. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    The 2009 World Fantasy Convention Draws near!

    I am attending with the wife.

    We’re driving

  548. reaper Says:

    Bunny: good call :)

  549. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    reaper: My guess would be the V people.

    Oh, and by “get that backward” do you mean “hover major population centers over giant space ships”? ’cause, that’d be cool.

  550. Jack Mangan Says:

    I highly recommend checking out minor league games, if you have a local team. It’s really the only affordable way to take the whole family out to a pro sports event.

    Didn’t all of the “giant spaceships over the cities” stuff rip off Arthur C. Clarke?

  551. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    LJ, let me know how it is. We have a number of people going since Calgary hosted last year’s convention.

  552. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Kitchen floor has been scrubbed. And I mean, get down on your hands and knees, type of a scrubbing.

    Now I must change my clothes before I go for lunch with a friend

    Later

  553. reaper Says:

    Lejon, that would be way cooler.
    but the first thing that comes to my mind with that thought is (Thanks TD-0013) the big man eating hole on Jabba the huts home planet. wish i could remember TD-0013’s term for it
    Hmmm wonder how big a funnel you would need to do that and not miss many people

    ditto: Clearly I’m a mom. All I could think of while watching it was how badly someone would be injured if it lands on their head.

    And then, he said, “We light it and make a run for it.”

    I did not see him run. I saw him mosey on out of the way.

    I’m thinking fun, exciting, and not altogether a very smart sport.

    Then again – I did play a lot of softball and baseball myself. You know those sports where someone takes a hard ball and thwacks it as hard as they can with a bat directly into a field of 9 of their peers.

    We aren’t a smart people sometimes.

  561. WNDRWolf Says:

    Bleach-o-lanterns sounds like a fun experiment, but probably not what you were going for, J0e.
    (BTW: “retard the funk” is going to be the name of our band’s first album.)

    EssBee, I agree about shutting off the asshats.

  585. jackmangan Says:

    That wasn’t in reaction to Lejon’s comment, it was just coincidental timing.

    Jack, count your blessings. It’s like getting into a time machine and being sent to the ice age. It’s funny until you have to stay there.

    Lotus Notes????? Holy cow! IBM is still putting that thing on the street?

  604. Nomad Scry Says:

    Well, I managed to make it till 6am without re-aggravating whatever I did to my thumb/wrist yesterday. Which means, ow ow ow.

    And of course, I managed to hit the funny bone on the other arm.

    ha. *not laughing*

    Good morning, fellas.

    I’m back to work as usual today. Still coughing, but feeling a bit more human.

    Have a wonderful day!

  608. Nomad Scry Says:

    Has anyone else heard the promo for Harvey? Is it just me or does it sound like a dude jerking off the sounds of a 911 call? Which makes the promo creepier than the story.

  609. Nomad Scry Says:

    … off TO the sounds …

  610. Johnny Null Says:

    Harvey doesn’t interest me. I guess I’m very particular.

    NS I haven’t listened to it. I usually don’t bother. I have enough time for listening that if I waist a few hours listening to a bad book I don’t really mind.

  614. Nomad Scry Says:

    Null – I wouldn’t say you’re particular so much as I have nearly no standards.
    reaper – you sound even worse than me. Ouch.

  615. justa J0e Says:

    Nomad – I don’t know from “Harvey”.

  616. justa J0e Says:

    EssBee – good to hear you’re up and around. Make sure you cough on anything that is going to the Overlords of Evil Inc.

  617. reaper Says:

    NS i think you are right. as long as a book finishes i’ll listen. i have finished books i disliked because i had next to nothing in the queue. I’m also not big on music like i used to be. i get enough music to satisfy me while my wife is cooking.

  618. reaper Says:

    because I was at home yesterday I’m now at work trying to do 5 things at once and not getting any headway on any of them…
    one at a time no bus loads today…

  619. Nomad Scry Says:

    I am filled with geek glee.

    My copy of the next volume in the Wheel of Time just arrived.

    I have 4 days to read 784 pages before NaNo starts.

  626. ditto Says:

    Joe: I think their definition of “done” isn’t the same as mine. Some of them seem to be OK with “done but extremely buggy” and I’m not. Still, I agree there is a balance. To paraphrase a good boss of mine: “First, get it done. Then get it done nice. After that, you can worry about making it pretty.”

    Hello, Pan! I am jumping in without having read the comments so far this week. Did I miss anything important and/or specifically addressed to me?

    Today’s agenda: clean house, study, prepare for Nanowrimo, watch last week’s “House” via Hulu.

  629. Rhettro Says:

    So did anyone else catch “Malcolm Reynolds” on “Castle” last night? The writers really through out a lot bones for geeks.

  630. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    We won’t be watching Castle until tomorrow, Rhett.

    Hi Amy!

  631. Rhettro Says:

    I won’t spoil it for you then EssBee. :) Look for the geek shoutouts though.

  632. Ed from Texas Says:

    We’ll be catching Castle off the DVR tonight as well. After last week’s preview, my wife and I were thinking it would be cool for him to go in a “Captain Hammer” costume. Sounds like we may get our wish, at least in spirit.

    Castle is just a great show.

  633. Johnny Null Says:

    Nomad Scry: I read the first Wheel of Time book. I liked it a lot. This is back when he had maybe four books out for the series. I’ve been told that they get very political and dry. Thus I have not been overly eager to continue the series. How do you find the series thus far?

  634. Amy Bowen Says:

    Hi, TEB! :-)

    Off to start my day.

  635. jackmangan Says:

    You’re really in trouble if the software is “done but extremely dune buggy.”

  636. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    JØ: Wheel of Time started off really slow for me, got good at the end of book one. That carried over until about book 7, but things began bogging down, Book 10 had GALACIAL movement (900 pages, 1 week of world time – could have gotten by with the first 2 and last 2 chapters).

    I’m looking forward to Sanderson’s sequels, but not enough to be an early adopter.

  666. jackmangan Says:

    That is exactly what cats are thinking, reaper.

    That Spongebob Deadpan bit was created by Chris Malysiak, aka Big Chowder, of the pod-faded Chowder Radio podcast. He also created the DMX Deadpan bumper. Funny guy.

    I’ll never understand why people order their burgers well-done.

    One of the most ironic things was watching congress rake Yahoo and Google over the coals for helping the Chinese Government censor and spy on their own people … while ( NOW we know) at that very time, OUR OWN government was conducting secret wiretaps on OUR OWN citizens and coercing American phone companies to hand them private phone records of US citizens.

    I win!!!

    Every time the city does work behind the house hubby and I bet on how long it will take for our lines to get cut and internet and phone service to go down.

    I bet a couple of hours, hubby figured it would take them at least to day to screw up.

    City crews started work at eight am, by ten I was without internet. So I win – or is it lose.

    I went to the bottom of my yard and yelled at the workers through the fence. They claimed they didn’t cut the line – even though you could see the cut wire in the hole they had made.

    The workers were conveniently left immediately after that and, by the time the phone company came to fix it, four hours later, they still hadn’t returned.

    After retiring, the Deadpan went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked the Deadpan for a driver’s license to verify his age.

    The Deadpan looked in his pockets and realised it had left his wallet at home. He told the woman that he was very sorry, but he would have to go home and come back later.

    The woman said, ‘Unbutton your shirt’.

    So he opened his shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

    She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me’ and she processed my Social Security application.

    When he got home, the Deadpan excitedly told his wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

    She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten Disability, too’

    And that’s how the fight started ..
