Deadpan meetup will be March 13th weekend. Come!

Some kind of technical screwup ate the closing music. Sorry.

OK, I think the file is fixed. Apologies to those of you whose podcatchers downloaded the screwy file.
Our night shift hasn’t seen Nomad Scry’s witty in a little while. hmmmmm
Goodnight Tom.

There is no night there is only the morning that has not arrived. Damn unproductive insomnia. I need productive sleeplessness!
November 19th, 2009 at 3:24 am
Ugh. Is it really 4:15 a.m.?
Sittin’ on the toilet is really funny. Also stuck in my head.
Have a good day, DP!

Alright – last week’s show still never made it into my Itunes, but this one looks to have downloaded fine.

Finished the new Wheel of Time last night. It was a welcome return and full of movement. It really feels like the series is moving toward a conclusion now.

Lo Pan does not feel magically delicious this morning. Curse this earth and the libations it doth produce. Lo Pan will unwind now with this fine Deadpan podcast Lo Pan has just stumbled across…
November 19th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Lo Pan begs of you to no longer include “sittin on the toilet” in anything ever again. Lo Pan is not used to begging.
Lo Pan is also not used to finding dead hookers in Lo Pan’s closet either, but that is neither here nor here.
November 19th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Would that be an all time Low Pan?
November 19th, 2009 at 7:41 am
Faux News apparently has a new slogan -
“Oops!
… We did it again.”
Got caught faking footage again yesterday.
November 19th, 2009 at 7:44 am
*ZING*!
Lo Pan enjoys Faux News. All the best news comes from there. When Lo Pan first came to this cursed earth, Lo Pan would watch this news program and become confused on why, when Lo Pan stepped outside, the world was a much different one than the world Faux News was describing. Lo Pan really enjoys good fiction.
November 19th, 2009 at 7:45 am

Ming….gling? Thats Lo.
Ming the Meaningless is a charlatan and a hack and Lo Pan has no time for other bad caricatures of eastern civilizations.

November 19th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Why don’t you just act out via text the audio that was lost. Lo Pan would enjoy this mimery.
November 19th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Lol Pan.
Well, at least Bunny gave us music for the day. I’ll definitely have to check that site at home later.

Glad everyone liked that comment. There are some other ones there, but I think that one is the best.
One major deadline down, so things might improve a bit for the rest of the year. Fortunately, I’m being forced to take next week off so I’ll have some time to recuperate before things get crazy next month.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:10 am
I got the music, what was missing from my version?
November 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Good Afternoon, Pan!
Wife is home now. Surgery went well. She’s sleeping off the after effects of anesthesia (actually, the effects were HI-Larious, but weren’t worth the worry to get there).
I am now being the good hubband and tending to cat-boxes…
November 19th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Hmm.. I’ll re-download and see if it’s there. I didn’t get the show until about 5am.. but was it changed after that?
November 19th, 2009 at 11:18 am
I totally agree with Lo Pan on the toilet. Wait. I mean, he’s right about sitting on the toilet.
…
What he said.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Good news from ditto is always. . . um. . . good news. . .
JohnBoze, if you got the music, then you probably had some audio clippage during the Duel. Audacity fixed one thing, only to break another, it seems.
Van, I’m humbled by your concern, but I don’t expect the format change to be too too severe or to alienate the old crew. Sorry to be all-dramatic-and-shit about this. . . . I will explain my idea in the next episode, and welcome your suggestions and feedback.
November 19th, 2009 at 11:22 am
The music-less episode is the 2nd “fixed” upload. I have a few theories as to what may have happened. meh.
But more importantly – - Lejon and wife get a bit w00t!

That’s for Lejon and wife, not Lo Pan.
;)
November 19th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Ed, my brother-out-law said that the WOT book was awesome, but as a fanatic he felt like he could tell the parts written by B.S. versus those written by R.J.
I CANNOT WAIT to dig into the book. But I’m re-reading Acacia right now so I can read it’s book 2, The Other Lands. That’s first.
Okay – I really should not be here while at work.
*zooooom*
November 19th, 2009 at 11:38 am
Lo Pan’s blackend heart also swells of Lejon’s good news. Well done.
Also, Lo Pan enjoys ditto making train sounds.
Also, Lo Pan must nourish Lo Pan’s soul now.
Also, Lo Pan will eat.
Also, Lo Pan will no longer say “also”.

Do the hamster-people get to crap all over the floor too? Because really.. that’s the most disturbing thing that comes to mind…
I wonder if they have clear Plexiglas tubes to run through.. they could go to other parts of the hotel and visit other hamsters’ sleepstacks… I’m thinking this isn’t a good idea.

Has anyone ever seen Lo Pan and Grimlock at the same time?
November 19th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
All things considered, a fairly positive review from Yahtzee.

Am I the only old fart who remembers when most scifi novels were just a few hundred pages in length?
November 20th, 2009 at 3:48 am
Few hundred pages? Isn’t that a novella?
:)
November 20th, 2009 at 3:49 am
ooh, the cute weather lady reports a 100% chance of rain today. Of course, it’s raining right now, so I think she made a pretty safe bet.
November 20th, 2009 at 4:17 am
A few hundred pages? That wouldn’t even hurt when it fell on my face if I fell asleep reading it in bed. That’s for whimps!
November 20th, 2009 at 4:19 am
And, happy Friday to everyone! What a week it’s been at Evil.
I tried to watch Babel last night, and got bored after 15 minutes.
I’ve already worked out, and the coffee is hot. Off to shower and get ready to tackle this last work day of the week.
Have a great day!
November 20th, 2009 at 4:19 am
I had a dream last night and Evo was there. At a con and not a whit of psychological weirdness. Considering the at a con bit, it could almost have been a memory, we were sitting around waiting for something to happen.
November 20th, 2009 at 4:37 am

I think I today deserve the dumbass of the day award. I managed some how to smash my bony right middle finger between the top 2 drawers of a horizontal file cabinet. I’m so f-ing glad it is Friday. I use the letter I to much and it hurts to type i’s. also with deer hunting starting this weekend it should be a light day

What a beautiful morning it is.
I haven’t made cappuccino cookies in a while so I think that’s what is called for today.
November 20th, 2009 at 6:05 am
Funny what one discovers wiki-ing about. I did not know the “Doctor’s Daughter” from the Doctor Who episode of the same name was in fact the doctor’s daughter, well the fifth doctor’s daughter, anyhow, and one of the Trillians’ daughter as well…
November 20th, 2009 at 6:05 am
I sent out several e-mails through work already this morning. If the six I’ve sent, three people have today off. I want today off. I deserve a long weekend, too :mrgreen:
November 20th, 2009 at 6:10 am
I like being in on days when no one is here. after i get the daily stuff done I’m pretty much done for the day. Maybe i can clean this place up a bit…
November 20th, 2009 at 6:16 am
Friday’s are usually pretty quiet in my workplace, anyway. I can usually be done everything by 8:00. However, on the 20th of each month I do some interoffice stuff that involves myself, my Ontario office and my US counterparts.
Assuming I can find suitable replacements for those who are out of the office, I still expect to be done my work for the day within the hour.

I’ll be spending a significant amount of time at work this weekend. Mostly, I’ll be on hand to monitor a printing system as we serialize barcodes on 15,000 cd’s. Therefore it will be a fine time to catch up on some video watching, and very likely doing further writing on that novel…
November 20th, 2009 at 6:29 am

How can you “monitor” what’s going on if you’re watching a movie or absorbed in your writing?

November 20th, 2009 at 6:35 am
I worked at a place where one of the guys like to dabbled in Access databases and he was pretty good. we used His db for tracking calls so we could tell sales men of high volume callers to push classes. the funny thing was after he added call time we could tell (after 3 years of data) how many calls we would get on any given day or hour. Monday and Friday where always light but Wednesday we got slammed with calls. The curve when graphing it was amazing (if you are a stat geek) the daily dip was kinda cool to peak at 9am and another at 2pm. the one that always annoyed me the most was the spike at 4:30 on Friday. we started tracking how many of them said “I’ve been working on this all week (or day)…” nearly 100%
November 20th, 2009 at 7:36 am
Yeah! Work is done!
Now to do some recording, then clean the bathroom ( :( ), then shopping.
November 20th, 2009 at 7:43 am
reaper: Working on the phones, I can say, not a single stat you mentioned is unfamiliar in any way.
November 20th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Jejon, I bet the most familiar is the 4:30 I’ve been working on this all day/week call. I hate that call. 4/5 of the time if they would have called earlier it would have been a 5 minute call but after messing with it I now have to fix everything they screwed up plus the original issue
November 20th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Wow. Looks like we’re going to have quite the crowd for gaming tonight.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:03 am
reaper: yeah, the Friday at 4:30 thing is annoying, but I’m more annoyed at Wednesday being the busiest day of the week. It completely screws up everything. If I could work 4 10s, and get Sat. Sun. and Wed. off, I think I might not be so frazzled all the time.
November 20th, 2009 at 8:18 am

Now to finish my grocery list and head out.

Casting Call!
I have two speaking parts in Episodes 10 and 11 of “The Questors from Effpiem” that haven’t been cast yet. Both parts are male, and both are villains. The Supervisor of Surveillance is kind of like one of the admirals from Star Wars (except no accent is required), and Dolucor is the leader of a squad of fighters.
I would like to invite anyone from the Deadpan community who hasn’t already had a part in “Questors” to play these roles. Newbies, oldbies, and anywhere in between, you’re all welcome to volunteer.
If you’re interested, please send me an e-mail at: (my last name)1138 AT Yahoo DOT com.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:19 am
Lejon, that would be awesome!!! When I worked the call center I tried take all my 1/2 days and appointments with sales people on Wednesdays. Sales people tended to do more work work Wednesday also so it was easy to do.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:22 am

I appreciate Todd Rundgren’s subtle juxtaposition between dual, dueling perceptions of work and play when he follows up the line,
“I don’t want to work
I just want to bang on the drum all day”,
with’
“I don’t want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day”,
thus indicating that perhaps the distinction between work and play is not as clearly defined as it seems, and that it ought to be any free-thinker’s goal to create a harmonious union of the two concepts.
At least I think that’s the message he was going for with that song.
November 20th, 2009 at 10:36 am
I believe I am in need of a Midlife Crisis…
November 20th, 2009 at 10:37 am

Lo Pan appreciates the subtle Jack Mangan juxtaposition of the subtle Rundgren juxtaposition pertaining to playing, working, and drumming., and the underlying distinctions thereof.
Lo. Pan. Approved.

My hubby works with kids of approx 10 – 13. Guess what movie we’ve been hearing about all week that comes out today.
When the first one came out, hubby made us see it just so he could stay up on what the kids were watching. I’m really, really, REALLY, hoping he doesn’t expect the same of me this year… I think I feel a cold coming on
November 20th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Re: juxtapoRundgren
I’m also OK with the thought, that he might just have been stoned and screwed up the line. :)

JOe, hilarious book review – thanks! I’ve been following Andrew Sullivan’s obsession w/ Palin for some time now. I think he’d love that review.

I was told once that I was in a carefully controlled mid life crisis.
New Moon was oh so terrible, but the reactions of sister during the movie were fun to mock.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:39 am
Dan, I think you’re a brave, brave man for sitting through it on opening day in the theater!

I am sorry! Vanamonde, Vanamonde, Vanamonde.
I had a dream last night and Vanamonde was there. At a con and not a whit of psychological weirdness. Considering the at a con bit, it could almost have been a memory, we were sitting around waiting for something to happen.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Saw New Moon last night at the midnight showing.
terrible does not do the horribleness of this movie justice.
This movie was treacherously godawful.
The audience was indeed fun. The scenery was nice and one of the leading men is a little hottie – but seriously, I want a boyfriend that can turn into a big mean wolf and protect me.. *swoooon*
Otherwise.. the acting was.. wait.. no nevermind.. there was no acting. It was HORRIBLE! bleh.
November 20th, 2009 at 11:50 am

No EVFN. Gonna hit up Grammar Girl’s book signing then take the kids to play some rockband and eat nummies.

Danamonde? Is that like a brand of yogert? Like cherry cheese cake flavored Danamonde yogert? Notice I didn’t say cherry pie.
November 20th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
I have conflicting music running through my head.
I’ve got the creepy Palm Pre commercial’s background music for a few minutes, then it switches to Dexter’s theme music… Geez, if I could just get something else viral into my head to knock them out… Maybe a Swine Flu Rap?
November 20th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I had the lyrics to “Sentient 6″ going through my head earlier, but I as able to excise it by posting the lyrics to the complete song to Facebook.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Gah, now I have Nevermore stuck in my head.
Lejon, Dexter had come so highly recommended, I finally watched seasons 1 & 2. Both were excellent. Season 1’s final 6-or-so episodes were fantastic.
November 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Although I like Dexter, S1 was the best in my view.

November 20th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
I love Dexter also. I still have a “huh?” feeling about the serial killer in N.A., but I think it is a very smart show. I love Deborah Morgan’s character. I wish I could talk like that at work.

Not interested in RPGs, more action orientated.

Today I get to spend the day with my grandmother. She wants to buy a laptop so I’m going with her to make sure she doesn’t get fleeced.
Tomorrow we’re going to see 2012, then we’re going to visit a friend to pick up a couple of pieces of art he did.
We are getting this piece of cover art (book also written by a friend), plus another piece (that Dan doesn’t seem to have on his site). We have a number of his pieces on our office walls.

Well, I’m quite enjoying the game. I think I’m about 2/3 through it.
I can’t help you, Van. I’m not much into FPS or War or any of those.
I do know Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is quite big at the moment.

Dan suggested the new Halo ODST and seconded Bunny’s suggestion of Modern Warfare.
Depending on the person, and I know these have been around a while, but I like all of the Viva Pinata games. I also love Worms Armageddon. They aren’t RPG’s and they can be played in short bursts.
November 21st, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Dating yourself UseHair? That makes things a helluva a lot less complicated.
I recall a few people around here saying they dug Holst’s “Planets” – found a site where you can download them for free: http://www.myclassicworld.com/mcw/download/show.action?articleId=231&channel=myclassicdownload&request_locale=de
Of course, it’s all in German, but you can find the download links. What’s with me and the German lately?
November 21st, 2009 at 2:08 pm

November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
In terms of gaming…
I haven’t picked up Dragon Age yet, though I will. Instead, at a friend’s behest, I’ve started playing Borderlands on the PS3. I’m enjoying it a lot so far. Essentially, it is a FPS RPG. And I really like the graphics style. Think of an animated Mad Max with a better sense of humor and you won’t be far off.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Came up with a nice meal plan for the week, so I’m going to have some fun cooking. The traditional turkey for Thanksgiving, which I do very well if I do say so myself, Prime Rib, and Beef Wellington are on the menu. If you drop in, I’m sure there will be plenty to go around. :)

I find I have a bit of an adjustment going into an RPG after a few years of FPS gaming. I remember having this same problem when I started playing KOTOR after a good six years of Quake.
But, having played KOTOR before, Dragon Age is quickly growing to feel familiar. I sense a time vacuum for me these next few weeks.

Saw 2012 on the weekend and I liked it.
It was a disaster movie in the vein of Towering Inferno, Posiden Adventure, Earthquake, etc.
True it was silly, over the top in its destruction, and totally unrealistic. But hey, sometimes you need that in a movie.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:17 am
Well crashed and burned today. Made a mistake…ho hum.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:27 am
TEB – would you concur with the following conversation that I overheard?
1) “I’m going to see 2012″
2) “It’s a fun movie. I think you’ll like it.”
1) “Oh you’ve seen it. So it’s good?”
2) “I didn’t say it was good, I said it was fun.”
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:29 am
Van – Sorry to hear that. You know, if you were “Borg” that wouldn’t happen.

Yup, that seems about right, J0e.

Also finished the new Terry Pratchett book, Unseen Academicals. To be honest, it wasn’t overly impressed. I guess it was ok. Even a bad Pratchett book is usually pretty good, but it wasn’t up to the standards of many of his others.
At least in my opinion.
November 23rd, 2009 at 7:41 am
Good Morning, Pan!
It’s too early for witty banter… and it’s Monday, so this week is already off to a bad start.
VIDEO GAMES – I’m only looking forward to one, and it’s not out for a while.
DIABLO III
I’ll be lucky if I have time to play it when it does come out.

BTW – I only owned TMBG’s “John Henry” for about 6 weeks before some soulless scoundrel stole it from me :(
So that is my excuse for not recognizing the “Kill Kill Kill” lyrics.
Why I never bought a replacement copy of the CD ???? For that I have no excuse.

The release dates are for the albums, and cut&pasted direct from Wikipedia, so I assure you they are correct this time, as far as I know.

I will believe this when I see it (or stop seeing it, or whatever) but just announcing it shows that at least management at FAUX understands that outside their faithful … they have lost all credibility.

I walk around my neighborhood regularly to get some exercise. Yesterday, I’m already seeing lights up, and ON on several houses.
I enjoy the decorations and stuff as much as anybody, but come on!
November 24th, 2009 at 5:08 am
Ed, we put ours up last week but we never turn them on till the day after turkey day. we wouldn’t have even put them up till than but we had 50 in November, couldn’t pass that up.
November 24th, 2009 at 5:53 am
They’re up and on around here too, of course reaper and I are in a region where snow can come at any time and you want to get them up in mid-november.
November 24th, 2009 at 6:47 am
… then of course, there were the Christmas decorations that went up at the stores around HALLOWEEN!
November 24th, 2009 at 7:45 am
I hate seeing winter coats in late summer and swimming suits just after Christmas.
November 24th, 2009 at 8:04 am

Looking at swimming suit attired women, just after Christmas can make me feel warmer.

November 24th, 2009 at 8:08 am

November 24th, 2009 at 10:24 am
sorry posting the obvious…
November 24th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Lo Pan usually lasts 5 minutes for feel better time depending on the pair of boobs or what is being done to them.
November 24th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Lo Pan no love you long time?
I’d just like to point out that the nipples page discussion has turned to boobs.

Why the fuck is James Cameron still making movies?
November 24th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
And who gave him 500MILLIONDOLLARS to make a CG/Live action ass fest? BAH!!!! Avatar looks fucking terrible. 500MILLIONFUCKINGDOLLARS???????????????? For a movie???? FUCKING FUCKBABIES!
November 24th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Bunny, I’m more distraught about the DLR on your iPod ;)
LP: Linda Hamilton took half of everything James C. had. I suppose that’s what it took to end his 10 year vacation from movie-making.
Still, I don’t think the guy’s ever made a bad movie. I haven’t watched the Avatar previews, don’t know the old cartoon, but I expect to go see the nw movie. You apparently have stronger feelings about this than I do, however….
November 24th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Jack,
This movie actually has nothing to do with the old cartoon. Its a brand new “story”
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/11/james_camerons_avatar_cost_500_mil.php
ripped off from this
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/10/is_avatar_ripping_off_a_50s_sci-fi_story_probably.php
ok maybe ripped off is being naive…but still 500MILLION????
sorry for only including toplessrobot links but they were easy to find.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
OH! BTW… M. Night Shamalamadingdong is making the new movie based on the cartoon of Avatar… called The Last Airbender. I know..confusing.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
M. Night, on the other hand, has made some of the worst movies of this century.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Okay, I promised bigger clues before I record the new BLC, so here goes…
1) The previously mentioned charting single (the one that is not the song you are looking for) was a song about a guy who has misplaced something important.
2) Jack got this one right
3) This band is led by a former member of an influential punk band.
Yeah, the clues are still abstract. Makes for a game which is more fun…
November 24th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Lo Pan agrees. Lo Pan really liked Lady in teh_Water and the first 3/4 of The Village.
That last piece of shit tho… *shudder*
November 24th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
PS. Lo Pan believes the answer to all BLC questions is “Sittin on the Toilet”.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Chiming in on Avatar:
Follow with me, if you will –
For the low low price of $0.5 Billion you and your respective corporations (not just 1 corporation is funding this, there are several) will receive a James Cameron spectacle that will rival profits from some of his other works, such as the #1 grossing movie of all time TITANIC.
The man has not lost money on films. Very rarely does he make a really “bad” one. He knows how to put one together, so I’m thinking that the money he’s getting is probably just a drop in the bucket of what the film will take world wide.

November 24th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Last clue: I wouldn’t consider any of this week’s bands to be obscure.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Dearest Lejon,
There is no way the world wants another CGI alien “fish out of water” movie so bad that they’ll pony up half a billion dollars just to break the film even. I don’t think it will necessarily be bad, but you’re talking money of Titanic (cough) proportions just to break this thing even. NA GA DA.
Spadoinkle.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
1) Something by King Missile
2) I knew it!
3) Something by PIL
??
Cool about the forums, Lejon! A word of warning: Those pphbphbpbphhpbphpbhpb sites have been known to attract spam, if the admins aren’t vigilant.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
You could be wrong… you could be right….
November 24th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Lo Pan: Actually, it wouldn’t have to do as well as Titanic ($1.8BILLION worldwide). They’d probably settle for Spider-man 2 numbers ($0.79Billion Worldwide). I’m thinking that they’ll do better than Spidey 2, though. Probably hit in the range of Jurassic Park ($0.92Billion Worldwide).
It has the advertising, it has James Cameron’s name… It has cute cuddly aliens (and simulated aliens…) – Seriously, people are just gullible enough to buy the premise for the second time this year…
November 24th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
jackmangan: Yeah. I know. I do have recaptcha turned on, and the settings are forcing me to manually activate people. I can usually smell spammers… It’s an odor like organ meats, makes me sick to my stomach.
November 24th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Looks like Jack is adding to the clues, but beware, he is on one right track and one wrong track, I’m just not gonna say which is which.
November 24th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I always feel musically inept on this page…
November 24th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
I think the problem, lovely Lejon, is that movies like Spiderman were already household names and had a track record to back them up. Plus Jurassic had dinos which appeal to every age group. I know this has Camerons name attached to it but I just think this is much too niche to make assloads of cash. But yeah, the world’s gullibility never ceases to amaze. I feel you on that.
November 24th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
LeJon, which meat smells worse. Hammond or Wurlitzer?
November 24th, 2009 at 2:16 pm

The PC Engine/Turbographix version of Space Harrier is rather good…even if the sampled audio makes the announcer sound like he has a cold…that could be the emulator though.
