    Happy Birthday, ditto!

    *mwaaaaah!!*

  11. Johnny Null Says:

    This is Johnny Null of the Porkchop Express and I’m talkin’ to whoever’s listening. When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac picks you up, taps the back of your favorite head against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and asks you if you’ve paid your dues. You look that sucker right square in the eye and you say, “Yes sir, the check is in the mail.”.

  12. Vanamonde Says:

    You called Zaphod JN in the real world?

  13. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Happy Birthday, ditto!

    May your wife give you all the birthday bumps you want, today :oops:

  14. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    We finally watched Transformers 2 yesterday. Is it just me or does anyone else picture Shai Labeouf as the Karate Kid? I could so see him replacing Ralph Macchio (sp?)

  15. justa J0e Says:

    Oops.

    “As many as 600,000 Xbox 360s were banned from the Xbox Live service this week in the latest in a series of crackdowns by Microsoft on illegally modified consoles.”

  16. ditto Says:

    Thanks for the birthday wishes guys.

  17. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    oooooh, Jack on Evo@11 and a new LLAP. My listening morning is complete.

  18. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Will have to listen to LLAP later in the morning. Taking kitty to the vet in about 15 minutes. Hopefully they can do something about her weight.

  19. Rhettro Says:

    Happy birthday ditto!

  20. ditto Says:

    Thanks. I haven’t been around much due to massive work suckage.

  21. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Home. Now to work and listen to LLAP!

  22. JohnBoze Says:

    Happy birthday Ditto!

    Here’s hoping the coming year brings you more of the good suckage…

  23. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I liked Stranger Than Fiction

  24. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cj, how do you know about Sterling Rod? You must watch more porno’s than I because I didn’t know that.

  25. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thanks for everyone’s patience. This Flash Palooza was like a Deadpan sinkhole. A fun sinkhole, but still a sinkhole.

    Have fun with “sinkhole”.

  26. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ve met some pretty “dumb waiters” in my lifetime :lol:

  27. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Jack! Take the week off. We understand completely.

  28. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Nichole is Lionel’s adopted daughter

  29. Jack Mangan Says:

    Is she really?

  30. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Dan’s wrong. I prefer a paper book. You can also get bored in space, you can only look out the window so long. I guarantee the astronauts on the space station do have books to read. Crappy and good. Tastes vary.

    Item # 4

  31. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Jack, yes

  32. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Thank you, Dan!

  33. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I won’t be able to see the streaming Podcamp AZ :(

    MA in the morning, then friends are visiting for the day and staying for dinner (thanks again, Cj)

  34. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    WTF, Cj? William wants a doll?

  35. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Boy’s play with dolls… What is GI Joe if not a doll for guys.

  36. Jack Mangan Says:

    GI Joe is an *action figure*, Bunny.

  37. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    You keep telling yourself that, Jack :grin:

  38. reaper Says:

    just a doll i don’t know any “just a doll” that has Kung Fu Grip!

  39. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    awww, don’t I count, reaper? :cool:

  40. Nomad Scry Says:

    My cat and I are meowing at each other.

    Thank goodness I have next week off. I’m losing it when I think he may be getting the upper hand in this conversation.

  41. reaper Says:

    TEB, you have Kung Fu Grip!!! that rocks! Team Bunny action force go!!!

  42. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My cat always wins any debate we have.

  43. JohnBoze Says:

    I have to say I am really amused that there are nipples about a different show on here…

    Don’t get me wrong, though, I’ve done it too.

  44. JohnBoze Says:

    Work is a little slow this week. Today they are shooting web promotional video, which I think would look much better if we were gangbusters busy. I’m holding off on running some work so I have something for the cameras.

    Meanwhile, writing looks busy for those who are not cameras, so I’m doing some of that. Been a while, so I confess I’m hazy on some of my own characters. Jeremy, Brennen, Gareth, sure they’re all there, but I actually wrote a bunch of stuff including a character I decided to cut out a while back…

  45. Jack Mangan Says:

    There is an elegant, persistent simplicity to a cat’s arguments.

    So we may someday see “Really Frickin’ Huge Things”?

  46. Cj Says:

    As sung by Alan Alda

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LNwUjd0gLo

  47. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    What about Raggedy Andy?

  48. Cj Says:

    hmm

    Shia as the karate kid.

    The karate kid is now the boyfriend of the older sister on Ugly Betty.

    Best Ralph Macchio movie? Up the Academy

    Where he played a character named “Chooch”

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081695/

    “You’ll stand out like a turd in a punch bowl.” and “Tickle your ass with a feather?” “What?” “erm… Mighty nice the uh.. weather we’re havin..”

    were some stand out dialogue from that one.

  49. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I use to mutilate my dolls. I like to think I still turned out to be an ok mother

  50. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I don’t think I saw that movie, but I see it was directed by Robert Downey Sr. I didn’t realize daddy was in the business too.

  51. Johnny Null Says:

    Vanamonde: I wish I could live up to that calling!

  52. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Lunch Time!

    Left over Chinese is the food of the day.

  53. Cj Says:

    OK. I’m going to go organize my son’s room. Remove “baby” toys and clothes that no longer fit.

    If you don’t hear from me within two hours, send help.

  54. ditto Says:

    No it isn’t. ;)

  55. Rhettro Says:

    ^pretty funny

  56. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Jack: I believe the US Court system defined “action figures” as dolls some time in the ’90s, and while such a definition may have been a frivolous endeavor, ultimately millions of young children’s parents paid for it.

    My favorite Ralph Macchio movie is My Cousin Vinny.

    … Somehow, I’m behind again, and not behind at the same time – I hate temporal mechanics.

  57. JohnBoze Says:

    Hrm, I’ll take that title under consideration, but considering this is technically a prequel maybe “Really Slightly-Larger-Than-Average Things…”

    I’m not in NaNo (and frankly ought to be doing other things), but my word count today has been 1187 so far today…

  58. JohnBoze Says:

    I’m nowhere near far enough along yet, but is there anyone here at the Pan who might beta read this stuff?

  59. Cj Says:

    Happy Birthday, ditto!

    :)

  60. Cj Says:

    I’m just noticing that my messages were exactly 1 hour apart. I had to come up for air and to make lunch for my little dude.

    I’m about 1/2 done with the toys.. maybe 1/3rd.. haven’t started the clothes yet.

  61. JohnBoze Says:

    Switched to Chapter 2, first was 1472 words.

  62. ditto Says:

    CP: Driven To Tears (live) — The Police

    I’m writing lots too. Only it is code.

  63. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Why do sales people not understand the concept “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”?

  64. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Oh… and Happy B-Day, ditto

  65. reaper Says:

    YAY!!! The WIN flavored coffee just showed up and i still have plenty of win creamer.

    Lejon, if people understood that i would have way less to do at work.

  66. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    reaper: I’m happy to do a little less work. I’d be happy to do it a little more often.

  67. JohnBoze Says:

    Chapter 2 done (well, drafted, you know what I mean) 1176 words. As I said before, the stuff keeps popping into my head, and today I can actually type some of it out.

    I guess I said pooping before, but again, you know…

  68. Jack Mangan Says:

    http://spacefellowship.com/2009/11/12/nasa-to-begin-attempts-to-free-trapped-mars-rover-spirit/
    It’s stuck in Troy? Maybe they should send a giant horse full of soldiers to get it out.

  69. JohnBoze Says:

    Decided I needed to tweak one concept and change a character trait entirely, chapter 2 is now 1270 words…

  70. Rhettro Says:

    I’m trying to figure out what “I’m writing lots too” is code for.
    Hey, it’s ditto’s birthday, he can enjoy some “writing” if he wants to.

  71. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Checking into buying an actual copy of Windows 7 Ultimate.

    *sigh*

  72. Cj Says:

    Holy crapoli. I hurt both my back and my shoulder cleaning my sons room. Nothing a nice, hot, bubble bath won’t fix. I didn’t just clean his room.. I took out one big black trash bag of toys for garage sale, one giant orange tub for trade-in at the 2nd hand shop, one white kitchen bag of broken stuff to trash and three bags of clothes to give away.

    That room is clean I tell you. CLEAN! I even straightened the bookshelves.

    I think I hurt from sitting on the floor and reaching in many directions – it was like a yoga cleaning workout and the gutting of the room was extra-cathartic.

  73. Cj Says:

    Tomorrow night starts the events of PodcampAZ with an EVFN kickoff.. so tonight, I am going to take that damn bubble bath and go to bed early. I’m NOT going to gut out the daughter’s room until next week. Tomorrow I’m going to get as much rest as possible because I have a feeling I won’t be sleeping for 3 days straight..

    I’m excited and exhausted at the thought!

  74. Jack Mangan Says:

    Cool:

  75. Cj Says:

    That is pretty awesome, Jack.

    OK – - I’m off to feed my family a giant crockpot full of homemade chicken noodle soup. I’ve never made it before and must say, it came out pretty good. Yay! Soup!

  76. JohnBoze Says:

    Yay soup!

    Those pics were indeed pretty awesome, Jack.

    So have you taken my emailed advice re: the podcast, Jack?

  77. justa J0e Says:

    Jack – thanks for keeping us “Rover” updated.
    I tend to forget about those guys.

  78. justa J0e Says:

    JB – respectfully submitted for your future title consideration; “Not to Scale.”

  79. Amy Bowen Says:

    J0e: I think that’s a great title for the RBT prequel!

    Cj: Congrats on the productive day! Feel better!

    My NaNo stats: 11,635 words total today. Working on a really exciting, dramatic scene that I love – plus, I’ve figured out how to tie it in to the rest of the novel! Yay!

  80. Ed from Texas Says:

    Happy Birthday, Ditto. Hope you got to spend the day not acting your age :)

  81. Cj Says:

    Thanks, Amy!

    I went to my mother-in-law’s house and soaked in her hot tub and feel miraculously better!

    Time to dance… or…. recline on my sofa and watch V episode two.

  82. JohnBoze Says:

    It’s a good title, I may consider it for a sequel. As it is, remember RBT is more a sequel to the one I’m writing than this one is a prequel.

  83. Nomad Scry Says:

    There is an elegant, persistent simplicity to a cat’s arguments.

    Jack is awesome.

  84. Nomad Scry Says:

    The pictures on that CHARMED post made my jaw drop.

  85. Nomad Scry Says:

    JB: I keep getting half answers when I ask. Maybe you can help me out.

    What does it mean to be a Beta Reader? What feedback are you, as the author, looking to get from your beta? What sort of feedback is not helpful?

  86. Nomad Scry Says:

    Lejon said:

    Why do sales people not understand the concept “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it”?

    Replace “sales” and insert “marketing” : “management” : “HR” : “LEAN”

    Conversely, why do the operators not understand the concept of “If it is fixed, don’t break it”?

    “It doesn’t work! I can’t make it run at 200% of normal capacity! It is broken!”

  87. Nomad Scry Says:

    Lady Ambassador: You are, aren’t you? You are going to do something insane and put in half the novel in the last weekend. *shakes head* It makes my hands ache just imagining it. :)

  88. LostRalph Says:

    Good evening deadpan, I figured I’d better make a post before my license gets revoked and I have to start using emotions again.

    Nothing much to say besides:
    Happy Birthday ditto! :)

  89. Nomad Scry Says:

    Hey, LostRalph!

    Stupid question: Now that you are here (again) are you FoundRalph?

  90. Nomad Scry Says:

    I -finally- got caught up to listen to 143!

  91. LostRalph Says:

    Sorry Nomad but truth in advertising laws require me to say that I am always lost.

  92. Amy Bowen Says:

    LostRalph: Hi!

    NS: LOL! :-D I very well might do that. I’m hoping to get a decent amount in this weekend, of course, to try to take some of the pressure off of that last weekend.

    New grand total is 12,550.

    Good night, mush.

  93. Nomad Scry Says:

    LostRalph, that’s okay. I understand those who wander. *points up at name*

  94. jackmangan Says:

    LostRalph!

    FYI: The new episode (such as it is) should be uploaded within the hour.

  95. Nomad Scry Says:

    Good night Amy.

    I should walk the floor, see if anyone freaks out when they see me, suddenly declaring their machine to be inoperable, even though it had been running fine up until they spotted me. Humbug.

  96. jackmangan Says:

    New episode is posted.

    Goodnight humbug.

  97. Nomad Scry Says:

    Good night Jack. See you on the other side.

  98. WNDRWolf Says:

    People Wander as well…

    who knew?

  99. Nomad Scry Says:

    Well… I, for one. ;)
