reaper, we don’t need winter tires at the moment, it’s supposed to get to 14 C today, so it actually feels a little weird putting them on today, but since the car is going in anyway…
Calgary has a very strange road clearing policy. It will, occasionally, clear the main roads but won’t clear any of the side roads at all. It tends to rely on Chinooks to melt the snow. There are many days that I would not be able to get out of my neighbourhood at all if I didn’t have snow tires.
Ok, I’m off. Back in half an hour or so
JOe, yes, we’re enjoying Mad Men this season. What a breakthrough last week, huh? How long did she sit in the car, anyway? Doormat much?
Today might be a day of boos at Evil, Inc. I have major issues in Providence, RI to deal with today. Big UGH. I really hope I don’t have to go there. Although, I could go for a fresh lobster . . .
Don’t forget to vote, US Deadpanites! Especially you folks in WA and ME (if there are any besides Jeremy). Lots of important human rights issues out there this round.
I have my snow tires on already. When my garden freezes, I have my tires changed out. On Mother’s Day, I change them out again.
Bunny, I say “yes” to the Halloween pics!
And on the 4th of July, and New Years, I flip the mattress.
Oh, and on daylight savings, I change the smoke alarm batteries.
And on Thursdays, I bathe instead of shower.
I might be a bit compulsive — I don’t know. Sheldon is cute, right?
Have a good day, all y’all.
*MWAAAAAAAH!*
With the kind of road taxes we pay in Wisconsin there would be a revolt if our all our roads where not plowed. We have some people with 1/2 mile “driveways” that have road sign that get plowed.
TEB – I think you should add the Halloween pics.
EssBee – I didn’t get why he went for that one. I could see things in the other women that would have attracted him but that last one just didn’t seem to fit his character.
“on the 4th of July, and New Years, I flip the mattress”
Euphemism?
Justa J0e: if you add “if ya know what I mean” i think just about anything a Euphemism. I’m sure there is a joke about fire works in there to but I need more caffeine to think of it…
I have returned. Nice brisk walk from the dealership to my home.
*hugs* to EssBee and work yuckiness.
I’ve added the Halloween pics to the DeadpanPool
Congrats to the birthday-folk.
Thanks for the NaNoWishes, justa J0e.
I too, flip my mattress twice a year – although I do it at spring and autumn.
Smoke detector batteries twice a year, check.
Not sure about the bath thing, though. I loves my wetness so, while I shower first thing every morning (second thing – I work out first), I’m very willing to bathe for no reason at all.
“I loves my wetness so …”
*mouth opens, no sound comes out, turns back to his stock charts*
“I loves my wetness so …”
*shakes head and reads again*
thats neat… i just don’t know what else to say
Radio 2 FAIL!
This week’s Jonathan Ross BBC Podcast was 30 minutes silence followed by 30 minutes of unrelated programming…
Gah. Mind being boggled by work craziness.
If you are good at setting up proxies you may want to give get_iplayer a try JB:
http://linuxcentre.net/
But you need to fool the BBC website you have a UK ip address.
In the “old” days, I could tell how good a UNIX sysadmin was by how well they knew the 3 “hardest” tools: sed, find, and sendmail. Things are a little different now, but not that different.
I’m going to clean up some leaves on my back deck. You can’t even open the back door without leaves trying to sneak in so I have to do something about that.
Then…Dragon Age. You may or may not hear from me again today.
I hate Greatest Hits collections that have new songs. It’s a lie! And I won’t buy the album just for a song or two. Though, nowadays, I can just get the individual songs. But it is still a lie!
You can download his whole radio 2 show that way.
TEB: You liking DA?
Haven’t actually had a chance to install it yet, ditto.
Hubby and I did watch the entire special ed. DVD last night though which only whetted my appetite for the game :)
Really, must do leaves now…
Must confess my tech-fu is weak.
Wow! Three giant garbage bags of leaves just from my deck. If it’s nice this weekend, hubby and I will see about clearing the yard.
Now…installing Dragon Age
I think I’m going to drag my computer into the living room so I can hook it up to the sound system. Big game, big sound.
Please wait while DAO is being installed..
40% installed – hurry up!
60%. Nnnnnnngg!
Fav line from a song on a blues podcast I was listening to today:
Making love on the carpet hurts my elbows..
It’s not even a pretty install screen. It’s just a list of programs that are extracting.
Hurts the elbows? I would think it would be the knees and palms ;)
This game is taking too long to install. It better ne worth it.
TEB: Didn’t you realize you were installing on *my* computer. ;)
EssBee – I love that schedule and I’m hopelessly in love with Sheldon.
D’oh. I haven’t seen BBT yet.
OK soooo
My little boy turns 4 today. Happy Birthday to Fletcher!
As for ME – I’m celebrating that this is exactly 1 year to the day that I posted my very first Deadpan comment. So, I hereby claim this day as Cj’s Deadpan Birthday! – A truly life-changing event!
The awesomeness that is my friends here at Deadpan is unmeasureable and I appreciate each and every one of you! Thank you for being! :)
Registering…
…on MY computer, ditto
Awww! Thanks, Cj! Happy Deadpan birthday to you, and happy birthday to Fletcher! :-)
J0e: Thank you! :-)
NS: I’m at just over 2,000 words. I didn’t have much time to write yesterday with two classes. It’s coming along fairly well. I’m going to try to write more each day this year, so that I hopefully won’t have to do another massive rush at the end to make it to 50,000. However, we are having a write-in on the day after Thanksgiving, and I plan to write for most or all of the day that day.
I’m extra-excited about NaNo this year because Scott Sigler is participating! He’s taking advantage of the monthlong challenge to work on The Starter, the sequel to The Rookie.
Cj: Congrats!
Bunny: Dang. ;)
CP: Dazed and Confused — Led Zeppelin
Happy Deadpanniversary, Cj! (so behind, I’m disgusted with myself)
Fletcher Then and Now – http://twitpic.com/o58bc
Happy birthday to little FF! A far better Fletch than Chevy Chase.

The pink bunny lies!!!
Everyone should check out “Way Too Early Christmas Song” at http://paulandstorm.com it should be the top item assuming you are not a cultural anthropologist reading this in the year 2775 (or a fresh Deadpanite reading in January 2010.).
You can dl the song, but I recommend watching the Youtube vid. Worksafe, a little suggestive in lyrics and one image of simulated doll buggery.
Jack: We all know Deadpan is the most effective form of nipple transportation ever invented. :D
Wow. That stopped the nipple transportation in its tracks. :(
Did we reach the nipple station?
CP: Rainy Day — Guster
Looks like it’s just you and me today, ditto. I even resorted to a tweet.
We need to stay on twack.
Choo choo!
Did we have a comment goal this week?
Quick, pull the nipple whistle and throw in extra coal!
Man, the nipple train is such a bizarre concept, even I’m hesitant to start down that track. . . .
Jack: I think the concept needs some tweaking.
This steam engine would have an extra-large coal compartment because it’d be especially tender.
Ditto did you want to head up the committee? You seem epecially eager to tweak the nipple engine concept.
A Jack Mangan tweat…not quite as rare as hen’s teeth.
Tweat or teat?
I think I had plenty of nipplage thrown at me during a certain party this weekend.
Nipples were plentiful. The party definitely met its nipple goal.
On that note.. I’m not very good when it comes to plays on words. The only thing I can think of immediately is the damsel in distress.
I’ve always felt that the lady tied to the railroad tracks milked it for all she could.
CP: You’re Pitiful — Weird Al
I broke the flow of nipples.
I’m here, just not saying much. I’m about to hunker down and do some reading for class.
Trains do tend to have one headlight….
Some say we need nipple, need nipples.
Can’t live on a butter head.
Trains go choo choo …. ouch.
Yeah, the whole cow-catcher thing is really kinda disturbing in this context.
And FYI: The Duel of the Fates III voting has about 24 hours remaining.
Vote or vote again! The Palooza division is looking pretty clear, but the Animated currently has a 3-way tie for the 4th and final spot.
CP: James Brown Ate My Bagpipes — Taxi Chain
I’ve already voted and the monkey won’t let me back in.
Do I have to toss my cookies to get back in?
Yeah, deleting cookies or using a different browser allows for SurveyMonkey cheating. I’m fairly sure that was how Dubshack forced us to watch Southland Tales. (And thanks, but you don’t really really have to vote again ;) )

On a cleaning note, I use Bleachbit on Linux to get rid of cruft. I recently tried it on Windows, following a run-through with CCleaner. It found a butt-ton of extra crap to toss. A big thumbs-up from me. Of course, CCleaner still has that get registry cleaner.
“wetness”
Happy Deadpanniversary, Cj! What did we ever do without you?
JOe, if “flipped the mattress” was a euphemism, I would be very unhappy only doing it twice a year!
Congratulations, Jack. You are now officially banned in Texas. The Deadpan has apparently risen to a level of prominence and infamy to earn itself a place in whatever blacklist my company subscribes to for internet filtering.
Looks like my lunchtime quickies have come to an end….
Bizarre article referencing the theory that “V” is anti-Obama propaganda.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/03/ivi-relaunch-intended-as_n_344288.html
Welcome to the club, Ed.
We are a growing army of no-pan Panites.
Our comments have left Ed in udder dis-pare.
“V” is a retread of a show from almost 20 years ago, so someone thinks that the originators could see that far into the future?
idiots
Okay, I just read another article about “V”. What the hell! Was BSG really popular among conservatives? Or was it just awesome SciFi? What the hell.
I am really, really excited for “V”. No more reading about this for me!
Word, JOe. Was Obama 19 years old when “V” was conceived? Or 20? It’s not a Matt Damon project for piss sakes.
On another topic, I’m coming out totally in favor of the current Rolling Stone cover.
Thanks Van! DL’ing now…
JB, can you post when you’ve got the file?
Hmm, the Mac is trying to open using the archive utility, doesn’t look like Mac’s Archive Utility supports password protection. Maybe I should try Stuffit to unzip?
A quick google suggest stuffit should work.
Yup, Stuffit unzipped with passphrase.
Cool, they really chop down quite a bit for the standard podcast. 45 mins vs. 3hrs. I suppose I get to hear songs and perhaps even news and weather along with the interviews?
Yup, it’s the show that was broadcast on Saturday gone.
Yup, I’m tired.
I saw the article (or at least some version of it) suggesting that “V” is an attempt at anti-Obama propaganda. Being a product of Hollywood, I’d be doubtful of such a likelyhood. I’ve not yet given it enough thought to make any conclusions of my own yet. And I’ve not seen anything of the new version of V beyond the much hyped previews. But, a couple of things occur to me:
1. We could be seeing something of a projection going on. Last year and early this year, I read all kinds of opinions that we were moving into an age of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged with dire threats of economic collapse and claimed threats that the government would be looting and mooching from the producers to buy power and support from the great unwashed masses. It also seem like you can’t swing a dead cat without someone declaring that we are in The End Times as supposedly foretold in revelation by trying to connect some recent event as being a clear example. So, in this sense, there may just be some wishful thinking.
2. Now, the other thing – it’s true that the original V was sprung upon the world some 25 years ago. But, I think it would be naive to suggest that the new V is just a pure remake and doesn’t incorporate any influence of events or cultural changes that have occurred since then. That doesn’t automatically mean that the makers of the new version are trying to send some kind of message. However, appealing to the original source as a defense that it can’t possibly be about Obama doesn’t make much sense either.
I guess I’ll just have to do like everyone else and fall for the hype and watch the new show and see how it turns out.
Another thing that is probably pretty easy to check … Network shows, shows with budgets this big like this usually go into development 2 years (or more) before they air. It is very likely that this “V” was in production even before the last election.
I suspect this is all just more “viral” marketing for the show.
Watching “V” right now.l
-l (typing while watching tv caused an extraneous “l”)
Wash?
Dry?
Just Kidding. Yeah I’d heard that both Tudyk and Bacccarin were in it.
Well, I didn’t want to be a wench of spoiler.
I’m up all by myself playing with spreadsheets. Or.. am I?
Ed, that’s bollocks.
I’m not actually here. I didn’t actually get a chance to listen to the entire episode, just the orc bit. I’ll check out the rest in the a.m.:
http://www.requiemoftheoutcast.com/wordpress/2009/11/03/roto-s07e02-boo-did-we-scare-you/
I’m not actually here anymore either. Not true. I still have about an hour of work ahead. I think that’s not going to happen. I have my orientation tomorrow for my new job and probably should get some sleep.
I wish I had time for a haircut … I am badly in need of a haircut.
Cj: Do your do like me and not have to get a cut except once a year or so.
So thoughts on the new V?
Joe – that is also a good point. That rattled about in my head for a bit as I was typing, but rattled out and rolled under the desk somewhere before I got to it.
I didn’t get around to watching V yet. I’ve become engrossed in the new Jordan novel and I suspect I’ll remain behind on other media until I get through it.
The new V has definitely been in the works for years. The Slice of SciFi guys had the original creator on years ago to talk about how he’s been blocked out of the new show.
Election results looking bad for the gays again. I’m really sick of this shit.
Morning Pan!
My Butt is sore. What’s that about?
After reading comments:
Happy belated DP birthday to Cj.
V was a guilty pleasure. It wasn’t very good but I still enjoyed it.
Will be taking hubby’s car in in a few minutes to get its winter tires put on.
Trying to put TEB’s sore butt behind me.
The comment I mean.
Oh dear.
Oh, and happy belated birthday to future Panite, Fletcher.
Now off to take the car in. Back in half
We did a lot of kicks at MA last night, J0e. I’m assuming it’s sore because of that.
I am an utter moron.
Gah.
I just figured out that Bunny’s frequent trips across the border were not, in fact, work related visits to Massachussetts. There weren’t any border crossings at all.
=(
EssBee – I realize that this offers little comfort now but the reality is, no matter how slow change is in society … societal change is also relentless and unstoppable.
The far right does control the largest percentage of this countries wealth and this will allow them to continue to bully their own party and buy their way into office (like in NY) but at best it is a delaying tactic. Those that fight against change instead of embracing it and working WITH change in order to have a say in it’s direction … become quaint footnotes in a history textbook.
A little cooler today than yesterday so the walk home left me all apple-cheeked.
No Scry, MA = Martial Arts. I’m a green belt in Hapkido
They were discussing, on the radio today, that Obama was elected a year ago and how little change he was actually able to do in his time in office.
I was not surprised. Except in very rare cases, the president has very little say in running the government. Everything he does (wishes to do) still has to be approved by congress and the senate. As most of us know, doing anything by committee leads to very little actually getting done.
Just my two cents worth
Nomad Scry: I asked about that a long time ago. So I was a moron, and I was a moron first. :-P
Green Belt = Conservation of Energy
My wife has a music box which plays the theme from “The Godfather.”
green belt = the senior belts are allowed to beat on me… I miss being a “junior” belt *sigh*
Curiously, she opens it up whenever we are in disagreement about something…
Okay, that last bit was a fib.
Good morning!
Having never watched the original “V” – I don’t have a comparison measure. I remember it being on TV, but I was only 11 or 12 so I really wasn’t that interested. I wasn’t much of a TV watcher as a kid.
That being said, Dan and I both thought last night’s show was a lot of fun and are looking forward to keeping up with it if we can!
I put out a Dead(pan)pool request.
OK, gotta shower and try to do something with this horrible mop on my head. The company I’m now working for is going to take badge pictures today at orientation.
Ugh.. .your badge picture stays with you … for…. evvvvv…. errrrr….
/sandlotvoice
Enjoying the 3hr Radio 2 file so gernerously given by Van. Luck is with me on that, relatively quiet here so I can enjoy the music bits. Normally there’s one or two stereos blaring ranchero and/or classic rock and I cannot listen to music programming and stay sane.
Cj, badge pics are like driver’s license pics. Forget about getting a decent one.
remember cats and kittens
pick your favorite “Jack Mangan’s Deadpan Podcast” bumper from the previous show’s comment section and phone them into

that’s 206-350-8664 call now while the rates are low.
NOTE: This would be a swell time for you “lurkers” out there to get to play along. Nothing easier then leaving an anonymous phone message!
Interestingly enough, Johnny is soon to be doing MA in MA, which in fact involves crossing state lines.
What form of MA Lady J?
Aikido
He’s been itching to return to MA since I’ve known him.
Yeah you lurkers…
Don’t make me lurk after you…
*Raises hand* Guilty as charged…
My works badge is so worn now it has ceased to be an ID card…could be anybody on there.
I’ll lurkingly go back to my lurking corner. Lurk.
Are you getting closer to go up a belt TEB?
I only just got my green belt in August, Van. They’re starting to get harder to get. I won’t be ready for a belt again until sometime next spring. Never if I can’t get my stupid spin kicks down.
CP: Would You — Heavy Feather
http://insomniaradio.net/audio/dailydose/irdd-heavyfeather-wouldyou.mp3
A nice blending of styles with some good bluesy guitar work.
Ah yes, August seems so long ago.
This is brilliant!
http://gizmodo.com/5396145/the-8+bit-low+res-make+up-is-high+res-clever
I don’t know, Van. Time is flying by for me. I can’t believe a week has already passed and I still haven’t recorded the stuff I wanted to for Jack.
RE: Work Badges
At the last big company I worked for, you needed a badge to swipe yourself in through the doors.
I lost my badge one day as it fell off the clip. Someone found it and turned it in to security.
Dumbass memory?
I was scolded by the security guard who said, “While we do find this humorous, it is against regulation for you to cover your face with a sticker or Barbie’s, or anyone else’s face. Please don’t do it again.”
*sigh* I didn’t like the picture of me. I wanted to BE Barbie. They just didn’t get it.
ditto, I found that make-up thing a little creepy.
Morning, Pan.
Off to volunteer.
Hi Amy!
Bye Amy!
