This is a particularly excellent Picard:

It is Ash! Hahaha!

Go Itunes! Here comes the Mangan!
December 10th, 2009 at 4:20 am
I in TEN to listen today.
December 10th, 2009 at 4:41 am
I have the episode but iTunes has been updating the library for 20 minutes so i can’t listen.
December 10th, 2009 at 4:41 am
did my comment go all the way to 11?
December 10th, 2009 at 4:50 am
NS: That Ash costume picture was taken at I-CON (a convention on Long Island in NY). I remember that guy.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:08 am
Usedhair: Good, bad, he’s the guy at I-CON?
December 10th, 2009 at 5:42 am
BLC: Oooo, oooo, oooo, Mr. Kotter, Mr. Kotter!
#1 is Brick in the Wall Part 3, by Pink Floyd
December 10th, 2009 at 5:56 am
The Picard in the above link, NS, was at both of the Trek conventions I attended. He also has an amazing Locutus of Borg costume. I met him and he’s an extremely nice guy.
The fact that he naturally looks like Patrick Stewart really makes the costume.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:23 am
Morning Pan!
My favourite thing of the year was…. Deadpan!!! ;)
December 10th, 2009 at 6:26 am
Actually meeting some of the Deadpan peeps in September was one of my highlights of the year.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:33 am
My plans for today:
Work (blech)
Shovel the sidewalk when the sun comes up (also blech)
Go to the dentist after lunch – Cracked a filling so it has to be repaired (more blech)
I think I need more fun in my day.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:42 am
It’s a balmy 6F here this morning. Toasty.
Cj, *swoon* for your love prowess reading!
Jack, I might have been in the bath.
xox
December 10th, 2009 at 6:42 am
EssBee, you win. I didn’t realize it was Cj.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:43 am
Now if I can only figure out who played Bilbo at the Beach…
December 10th, 2009 at 6:50 am
aww thanks EssBee :)
I had intangibles and everything for Buzz I was going to call in, but my new job has me running crazy.
I’d just like to share that we had our Final yesterday and I scored 2nd highest on the test. I missed a partial point. I know what I missed and I hemmed and hawed about the answer and just wound up choosing the wrong one – dammit! But… that being said, a partial point from 100% is nothing to sneeze at.
:D
December 10th, 2009 at 6:52 am
I don’t remember what I posted last night in my drug-induced haze, and too lazy to look, so if I repeat myself, sorry.
I start taking inbound phone calls today! I’m so excited! For those that don’t know, I’m doing inbound tech and sales support.
I have a doctor appointment in the morning tomorrow to see what the next step is on my knee. (no pun intended)
Crutches are teh suck, but my abs and arms are getting a good workout.
Off to the shower I go!
December 10th, 2009 at 6:53 am
Bilbo at the Beach – Hmm My money is on PC Haring…
December 10th, 2009 at 6:57 am
I did not play Bilbo on the Beach. Nor Mimi for that matter. I figured two major artists and one major cliche would yield BLC results.
(Now, just what did I mean by cliche???)
December 10th, 2009 at 7:07 am
14 degrees. With windchill its -1. Happy boy, Lo Pan is not.
Time for Deadpan to warm Lo Pan’s cockles.
December 10th, 2009 at 7:09 am
I have some Google wave invites if anyone is interested just email me.
reaperttii at gmail
December 10th, 2009 at 7:11 am
woh, cockle warming is that an extra charge?
maybe a job for Sally?
December 10th, 2009 at 7:29 am
Okay, I suddenly have a whole pile of invites as well…

December 10th, 2009 at 7:39 am
Jack….may Lo Pan send some apple juice?
December 10th, 2009 at 7:46 am
Well, I think it’s time to go out into the brr and shovel the walk and driveway.
Wish me luck.
December 10th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Good luck Bunny, don’t freeze your tail off.
my arms feel like Jello today because of shoveling yesterday. I’m just glad the repair shop was open so I could get the shear pins.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Shout out to ditto: Have you kept up with Top Chef this season?
December 10th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Work is teh suxxors. :(
December 10th, 2009 at 8:08 am
I haven’t seen last night’s finale.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:08 am
It is the best season by far. I’ve really enjoyed it and the 4 chefs that I thought were the best, have been.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:15 am
B – frikken – RRRRRR!
December 10th, 2009 at 8:16 am
finished shoveling but I don’t know how long it will last. It’s still snowing outside.
Now… Hurry kettle and boil, I need warm tea for my cold insides.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:17 am
I agree about the 4 chefs. No spoilers from me. I’ll be interested in your thoughts!
December 10th, 2009 at 8:17 am
I hear ya, TEB. It isn’t as bad here as there, but we hit about 0F/-18C last night.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:19 am
CD: Cinnamon spice tea
December 10th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Are we the only two that watch the show? I’m afraid to spoil anything for others. Still, the 4 chefs would be obvious to anyone that watched, so I don’t think the following will spoil anything.
I’ve said since the early episodes that it is Kevin’s to lose. Jen is one of my favorites, but she’s her own worst enemy. Michael makes some incredible dishes, but his arrogance and lack of focus on flavors tends to hamstring him. Bryan is excellent and could take it from Kevin, but I still think Kevin has the edge.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:22 am
It’s not too bad right now, ditto. It’s -13 (approx 8 1/2 F) but it’s close to -20 C with the windchill
They are, however predicting close to -30 on the weekend.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:23 am
When my wife, my sister-in-law, and I watch the show, it usually takes well over an hour to watch an episode: we are constantly pausing and discussing what’s going on. I know it has spurred me to improve my cooking. :)
December 10th, 2009 at 8:24 am
TEB: Yeah, it is about the same here, right now. This weekend, however, we are supposed to get more seasonal weather; i.e. around freezing. Sorry you aren’t going to get some warmer weather soon.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I don’t watch the show, so I’m ok with spoilers ;)
December 10th, 2009 at 8:25 am
Holy crap. Sonic Youth has been around for nearly 30 years.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:34 am
I think we’re the only ones, ditto.
I love Kevin. He’s my favorite. I always vote for the fat kid! Bryan was my 2nd fave. I agree 100% about Michael. What a dickhead.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:35 am
We’re expecting 20s today, which is WONDERFUL after the past week. My house is way too cold for my taste.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:45 am
I just talked to my mom. She’s being released from the hospital tomorrow, which I guess is good news. They haven’t explained her fever, which she said is “better” today.
So, tonight I head to my folks’ house to move in with them until she’s back on her feet. Evil, Inc. goes remote.
Best healthcare system in the world?
December 10th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Can I add that I have a brother who is a fucking DOCTOR who could be a lot of help and support right now, were he not a complete asshole?

Think any of the top chefs would make some of this food:

reaper: You haven’t seen the vending machine episodes. :)
December 10th, 2009 at 9:30 am
I don’t see myself eating of those foods in the near future.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:34 am
ditto: that show sounds better and better.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:39 am
Thanks, guys.
The show is really fun, reaper, if you are into culinary stuff at all.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Essbee: I love the food network, I’m not big on most reality show but food related ones tend to be better than most. IMO good eats is one of the best show on TV.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Here’s an Evil, Inc. story:
I manage a large group of educational consultants (around 300). One of them – from Chicago – canceled on a school district today because she didn’t have gloves and it’s cold in KC, MO. I got a copy of the email from the customer.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I recall watching one of the food ones a few months ago (it may even have been Top Chef) with interesting challenges and no artificially manufactured drama. The chefs were also actual chefs, not standard vain reality tv attention whores.
BTW: While all of those deep-fried foods should make me cringe, the thought of deep-fried tarantulas makes me want to hurl.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:03 am
EssBee: Gloves? wow
December 10th, 2009 at 10:17 am
As a bit of a nitpick, I seem to recall Bilbo not doing very well against the giant spiders . . .
December 10th, 2009 at 10:20 am
LOL, Johnny.
The love prowess category for poor Bilbo was awesome. “Confirmed bachelor” = LOL
December 10th, 2009 at 10:23 am
I should have sent in something for Bilbo on intangibles, but I just didn’t think of it.
Gloves are for wimps
December 10th, 2009 at 10:33 am
Gloves ARE for whimps!
That reminds me of a funny story. I had a hardass friend named Michelle back in my partying days. She was a big trainwreck of a person who was really fun to be around. She used to say, at restaurants and bars, “straws are for pu__ies” which always cracked me up.
I do not advocate calling people the p-word, but still hilarious in the right crowd and a the right moment.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Well Nimoy would have you believe that Bilbo’s an ass-kicking Middle-Earth Steven Seagal.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:35 am
Me _ ow
December 10th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Whatever stupid problem my iTunes has been having has been fixed. It caught Deadpan #148 for me. :-)
December 10th, 2009 at 11:02 am
“Top Chef” is my favorite reality show and one of the few that I watch. It does not have the artificial drama that most reality shows have. That’s not to say everything is hunky-dory. In some seasons, there has been some interesting smack talk, but that’s about the extent of the drama. Contestants are real working chefs and treat each other as such. You’ll often see them helping each other even when it isn’t in their best interest to do so.
The show is always about the cooking, which is why it has garnered an excellent reputation in the culinary industry; to the point where they could run “Top Chef: Masters”, a season where some of the best chefs in the country competed for charities.
I rarely watch TV. There is too much drivel and I can find better entertainment elsewhere. But, I do set aside time to watch “Top Chef”.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:03 am
I better listen to this episode!
December 10th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Downside to posting on the wrong entry: All alone.
Upside: I got teh_nine-hundresies.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:18 am
BLC: #1 is actually “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3)” by Pink Floyd. Usedhair had most of it.
I know I know #3, but can’t place it right now.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Next Tues. Chef Ramsey is doing a Cook-a-long. That could actually be fun. Kerry and I may do it.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:21 am
BLC:#2 – “The Girl from Ipanema”, not sure who original did it But IMHO the best version is by Antonio Carlos Jobim
December 10th, 2009 at 11:23 am
… but maybe because I already know the words.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Gah, #3 is familiar to me too.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Tall and Tan and young and Lovely
The Girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes
each one she passes goes Ahhh.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
yes, even the ladies go “Ahhhh”
December 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
I was going to guess G.F.I. too.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
She’s just that lovely.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:27 am
and tan
December 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
#3 Looked it up because It was going to kill me. I did know it but couldn’t guess it.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
though really, not so young. Which I think actually makes her more “Ahhh-able”.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Lo Pan prefers Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
I’m sorry.
My mind is stuck in Ipanema.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:29 am
It’s warm and sunny there.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:31 am
Okay, now the fuctardbot is giving me crap about my posting.
Fine, I’ll take my warm ocean breeze, fantasy and go home.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:35 am
How the FUCK was silly fucking Jimmy “Retardo-bot” Kimmel the one to get Jawbox to reunite on is show?
Jesus, after 12 years youd think theyd pick a better fucking way to reunite than on that tubby bastards show.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Discuss – Kim Coletta vs. Kim Gordon vs. Kim Deal. If stuck on a desert island and had to pick one to rock you (in more ways than one) which and why?
Lo Pan needs nourishment now. Back in two and two. Bitches.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Kim Gordon. Although Kim Deal is cooler, for some reason I associate Sonic Youth with crazy and crazy ones are better in the sack.
And I am an ass.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:58 am
That’s hard Lo Pan. I guess I have to go with Kim Deal cuz I loves me my Pixies and Breeders.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
I did get the first 2 BLCs, and I heard the spoiler of the 3rd, which I shoulda known.
Kimchee for lunch, Lo Pan? Can I choose Kim Carnes? All of those options are preferable to Kim Jong Il.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Everyone has the correct answer. Lo Pan is well pleased.
Lo Pan drives a Jeep Kimanchee
December 10th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
FYI… Kim Gordon is 56 years old. Put that in your mind and take it for a spin.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Kim Deal. She’s mine, you mens. Back OFF.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
Lo Pan does not drive. That was a falsehood.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I was listening to Episode 39 of Wander Radio…
The Poem – Forever by Arlene Radasky
creepily good…
December 10th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
EssBee may have Kim if Lo Pan can have Kelly Deal. Same thing, really. Cept Kelly has the sweet flavor of heroin.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
Kim Possible for me!
December 10th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Jail time for you!

December 10th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Can I just watch as the three of them wrestle about for a bit – then “comfort” which ever one still has any energy left?

J0e – fuck and yes.

Red hair == kryptonite. :)
December 10th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
EssBee: No fair!
December 10th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Red hair = kryptonite = and how
December 10th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Lo, Deal on the Deals.
Wolf, LOL at Kimpossible.
JOe, as always, I like the way you think.
ditto, sorry!
December 10th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I went to a Breeders concert once, and acquired a pair of tube socks w/ the band logo on them.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I loved wearing them to the gay bar.

OK EssBee, we’ll handle it as a “Tag Team” match.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Re: youtube vid
Wow.
‘Cause there just isn’t enough substantive stuff to worry about in this world.
Wow.
I would add that it’s probably not even fair to stick the “Right Wing” with this one. This sort of thing is it’s own special brand of “Out There”.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Thats why I added “nut-fucking-job”.

Jack: Great job on this DotF duel. Loved the use of “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” :-)
December 10th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
This should make Jack happy: Brodeur is now tied for the all-time shutout record.

Church has been saying poking-men is evil for some time. Uganda is trying to pass a death penalty for being gay now. Srs boo!
December 10th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Yeah, it’s been pretty amazing to watch Marty’s career. Brodeur and Scotty Stevens were the most important factors in the 3 Devils Stanley Cup wins.
Thank you, Amy. :) Now let’s not mention “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” again, lest it get stuck in my head.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:34 pm

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/27769/Free-iTunes-Download-Holiday-Sampler-Album-20-songs-Toby-Keith–Amy-Grant–David-Archuleta–Sarah-McLachlan–Rascal-Flatts—and-more
I’m listening through it now. So far, the songs are decent. Nothing that I’d call a standout yet. But, free is free.

Ugh!
December 10th, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I got the item I ordered for DPSS today. So, tomorrow I’ll be getting it out in the mail. Amazon is the way, or a way, anyway.
December 10th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
“Down periscope!” She said.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Thanks for the iTunes “Heads Up” Ed :)
December 10th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
EssBee: Yes. I knew it would be close. I’m a little surprised, but I can’t say I’m too disappointed. They all are great chefs. Still… HOLY CRAP! :)
December 10th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
Ed: Thanks for the sampler tip. I’ll give it a listen.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Hectic around here. Cooking for the Christmas party this weekend.
Cj: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. U teh awesome. :)
December 10th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
We got emails from 4 different deadpanites in the last couple weeks so I felt compelled to stop by and say HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!
Had some very recent excellent news about Hugh’s progress and we are plugging forward in this land of no snow :(
How do you people survive without snow on Christmas??? Thats Un-American!! Its unconstitutional!!!!
Please ship us some snow STAT
December 10th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
Dear Santa
All I want for Christmas is the news stories about Tiger Woods to stop. There are bigger more important problems in the world that I care more about.
breast
Dre unt Hugh
PS and please send snow
December 10th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Dear Santa
the above letter is from me only.
Hugh would like at least 1 team, just ONE fucking team out of Chicago to do something wonderful, just 1. Any sport. Anywhere.
cocks,
Dre unt Hugh
December 10th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
*rolls eyes*
December 10th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
To be fair, Lo Pan rolled Lo Pan’s eyes to the Tiger Woods comment, not the one fucking team out of Chicago comment. Lo Pan must distinguish what is important with what is…Tiger.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Lo Pan and his eyes are wise
Tiger is not. He just golfs well.
Dre is resisting a comment about Tiger’s ball handling (golf balls that is)
December 10th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
Cj = BrainFried from training. Send more Red Vines. STAT
ditto: you are very welcome! I was excited to be right that it was you that loved BBT as much as me :)
December 10th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
Had to do a manual DL of the DP this week. Very odd.
Also, SHINY!

I wonder why the enclosure isn’t being, well, enclosed. I can see it on the post, but not in the feed. I wonder if this is a feedburner issue.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
The last enclosure in the feed is from Unshow 48: Really Big Unshow.
Eh. At least it isn’t like that whole debacle where the nipples disappeared. I was poking around 48-ish yesterday and wow. All of you must have felt like you’d been punched in the gut. It made me feel sad that it was all just gone.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Re: The Gloves Issue.
1. There aren’t any Walmarts in KS for this person to purchase a new pair of gloves?
2. I start wearing my gloves in September. My hands hurt too much when they get cold to allow the mere chance that it might happen. Everything gets a bit difficult without hands.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Amused by Lo Pan’s rage over Jawbox on Kimmel.
I would use a smirking smiley, but I don’t know what that is.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Kim Coletta vs. Kim Gordon vs. Kim Deal?
I pick Gordon. Because I’ve at least heard the name before. I don’t know who any of them are. Hooray for ignorance!

I’m kidding. I haven’t heard it, but I have heard of it. Which is why I haven’t heard it.

December 10th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Rom, the 10 year old, tried to “save” a cup of snow two days ago.
1> He tried to save it when we were leaving the house.
2> He never ever remembers to bring things back in from the car.
Maybe next time, I’ll let him. Then we can email it to TSH for their Christmas enjoyment.

I got tattooed tonight. I’ll post pics when I am all healed up.

Did I mention I DLed JfS’s set yesterday? I got a mite confused when the “50meg” download wasn’t done in a few minutes.
Ooooh!
December 11th, 2009 at 12:04 am
Cj: That guy looks quite a bit like Patrick, but it is the high quality shirt and 3D communicator that sells the image. Nice choice in fabrics.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:39 am
Heh,did I say 50?? OOps.
Did you give it a listen??
December 11th, 2009 at 1:37 am
JfS: You said 500-something. I just mis-read/mis-remembered.
I started to listen, but broke off for now. At halfway into the first track, I’d say it sounds mighty nice. *snert*
December 11th, 2009 at 3:41 am
As usual, another fine Friday is upon us. And starting out with a visit from TSH springs a smile to my face.

Ed – no day is ever fine when Lo Pan is sober.
*meow*
December 11th, 2009 at 6:22 am
Noooooooooooooooo… Wait, that’s what the fuss was over?
*watches it again*
*watches a different copy*
*watches another copy*
I kinda like this. Nimoy sounds like one of those Welk singers, and the bunny hop dancers are kind of charming.
December 11th, 2009 at 6:24 am

WHAZZA! Thanks NS. Now, go have your daily allowance of Bilbmoy.

Morning Pan!
I feel like someone has punched me in the jaw this morning.
December 11th, 2009 at 6:50 am
After reading the posts:
The post office told me the SS gift I sent could take as much as two weeks.
DPSS = drop pants; see stuff
Currently listening to Jack through the Justin.tv
December 11th, 2009 at 6:51 am
meh
December 11th, 2009 at 6:51 am
You actually have to just listen to Justin.tv. If you watch, you mostly see the chef talking about food. You can still hear Jack in the background, though.
December 11th, 2009 at 6:52 am

Later this afternoon, we’re supposed to have a repeat of last Friday. Tons of snow, but much, much colder
December 11th, 2009 at 7:11 am
Thanks, Bunny.
I am having a lot of stupid pain this morning.
I’m just SO done being gimpy. I want my mobility back. I’ll probably feel better after my doctor appointment when I have some answers – if I have some answers.
Fletcher would like me to press the letter Q
(technically he pressed it)
December 11th, 2009 at 7:13 am
And yet, there’s this little tiny bug flying around the office, doing its best to annoy me.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:15 am
I think Fletcher did a very fine job at pressing the letter Q
December 11th, 2009 at 7:16 am
I’m hoping for the best for you Cj.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:17 am
Thanks! I’ll be fine. My coffee is kicking in and that in and of itself is making me cheerier.

Of course, you shouldn’t really listen to what bunnies say. It’s all haresay.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:27 am
And of course, the music bunnies play best is hip hop
December 11th, 2009 at 7:28 am

What happened when the bunny stepped in a cup of very hot chocolate?
December 11th, 2009 at 7:30 am
He was a hot crossed bunny
December 11th, 2009 at 7:31 am
I love you too, Van ;)

With all the mist about, the world looks like Silent Hill..with ‘popup’.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Ok, I have work to do before I go shopping.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:33 am
That actually sounds cool, Van. It could be very pretty.
December 11th, 2009 at 7:35 am
Not baking cookies today.
On Monday Christmas starts in our house. I make a big deal of it. The tree goes up, the house gets decorated and I bake gingerbread cookies.
My Boo and some friends usually come over to help decorate the tree, house and cookies!
December 11th, 2009 at 7:49 am
Being in KS, I think that woman is a complete and utter moron, especially since she’s from Chicago. Like she doesn’t already own a pair of gloves!
December 11th, 2009 at 7:50 am
So cool to have a TSH sighting!
December 11th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Usedhair: becareful posting dangerous links like that! We don’t want to encourage people to post Star Wars Holiday Special links here. It is “special” for sure. ;)
December 11th, 2009 at 7:55 am
I don’t think the sun is going to show its face today :(
December 11th, 2009 at 7:57 am
I think I need to update my shopping list.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:01 am
How can I make gingerbread cookies without molasses?
December 11th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Ok, I have groceries to buy. Must get some alcohol for the weekend. Then will come back and hibernate for the rest of the day.
Later Panites

*hugs* to Cj
Our little tabletop tree has been up since Tuesday. We’re very low-key around here.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:23 am
Cj: Thank you! I forgot I’d put a pot of coffee on.
mmmmmmm
December 11th, 2009 at 8:24 am
TEB: Don’t forget, molasses go bad. I learned the hard way and lost a bowl of oatmeal.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:26 am
JfS: About an hour into the mix. Interesting choices here, especially the Getting Undressed track and the Tinkerbell song. I particularly liked the vocalist around the 30 minute mark and would like to learn more about her. At 52 min, I don’t know who that is, but it -feels- like Tricky.
To be continued?
December 11th, 2009 at 8:29 am
ditto: Haven’t been to KS, but my one-time impression of Chicago was that it would be a good idea to get the gloves on a string. That way you’ll have them all the time, so when it goes from 80 to 32 in two hours, you will be prepared.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:32 am
NS: exactly. And we are about an 8 hour drive SW of Chicago. It is almost always colder there.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:56 am
Lo Pan just finished downloading JfS’s mix.
Also, I’m thinking I received more than i asked for this Xmas. Its beginning to look a lot like chlamydia.

Sausage delivery?
December 11th, 2009 at 9:16 am
Nah. I ordered my wife’s present on Amazon and decided that since it was still November, it would be okay to take the cheapy shipping. Turns out that means that the delivery is ONLY 12-5pm.
I go to bed at 1pm. And after this week, I just want to go to bed an hour ago.
I won’t be taking the cheap shipping on large items again.

OOps there goes my cappuccino all over my lap, Oh My!
December 11th, 2009 at 9:54 am
No time to catch up, but wanted to let you all know that doctor visit was made of WIN!
I’m not going to need surgery! The doc gave me a steroid injection in my knee she says will last a few months and she’s going to find out if this stuff I can’t remember the name of right now will be approved by my insurance for a more permanent fix.
I’m off crutches for now! I promised Dan I’d still take the elevator though :)
Hurray for good news!
December 11th, 2009 at 9:55 am
I think I spend too much on spirits. I hope, despite the snow, we get a good crowd at gaming tonight.
December 11th, 2009 at 9:56 am
Watch out, CJ is going to go on a Roid Rage Rampage!
December 11th, 2009 at 9:56 am

Yeah, for Cj!

Awesome news, Cj! You’ll be doing crane kicks again in no time.
And here: Q
That’s for Fletcher.
I need to check out the DJUtopia mix at home. Work might get a little cranky if I download a 500MB file.
Thank you for listening to my Justin.tv noodling, Bunny! I hope your snowstorm isn’t too bad. No gaming tonight, I assume?
December 11th, 2009 at 10:14 am
Cranky! LOL6
December 11th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Probably not, Jack. Nobody came the last two weeks because of winter snow storms. However, this is the last gaming session until after the new year, so peeps may try to come anyway, simply because of that.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:26 am
OOOh some kind of burn, be over my crotch. OH MY!

I’ve decided people are really stupid or commercials just think they are.
There is this new commercial for some game (not sure what game so the commercial failed to begin with). This commercial shows some guy holding a saddle and circling a tiger. The fine print says “do not attempt”. Seriously?
Fine, the next time I’m carrying a saddle, and I’m in the same room as a tiger, I’ll be sure not to try putting the saddle on the tiger.

December 11th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Jack: That’s because women are tricksome and other stuffs. BRKyle is Nobilis’ wife. I am not aware of Cynical Woman’s husband.
Bunny: You are correct. People ARE really stupid AND commercials know it.

December 11th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Yeah, the nerdpipes have been rattling with that Canadian author’s border guard beating. He claims he got out of the car when pulled over, asked what the problem was, wouldn’t get back into the car when ordered, then got assaulted.
I’m not naive enough to say that innocent people never get roughed up by cops, but I’m reluctant to get riled up over 1 side of a story — not unless the person has earned my benefit of doubt.

Jack is wise in his “not getting riled” posture.
Too many professionals out there now that are being paid to enrage the masses. Best to gather info and consider a bit before gathering one’s pitchfork and torch.

for “a legacy” I mean … not to threaten UsedHair with.

Actually, I stole the reference for the side hug from the Geologic Podcast. El Hrab-o made fun of it there first.
December 11th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
OMG
Hey Lo Pan, Gimmie that Christian Side Hug! That Christian Sid Hug!
December 11th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Van: That sucks. You have my sympathy.
December 11th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Side boob? Oh, I misheard. Side hug. Yeah, sure. Here you go. ;)
December 11th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Heh:
Gimmie that christian side boob! That christian side boob!
December 11th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Go side boob!
Go side Boob!
December 11th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Hmmm. Did someone call for me?

Did Nomad say my voice was “sultry”? … I swoooned a little when I read that.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
So, I’m walking. Yay! My knee feels great.
I went live on the phones today for my first few inbound calls at my new job. I sold $300.00 worth of stuffs in 2 phone calls in less than 20 minutes.
I totally rock right now! It seems I’d forgotten how good I was at call center jobs. Lord knows I have over 20 years experience, but I was nervous not having done it in over 5 years.
Did I mention that I totally ROCK right now!? :D

Evening Pan, just got home from my cousins house. I help rip down the ceiling in the living room because the up stairs bathroom sewage stack broke. it soaked 2 walls and 3/4 of the ceiling. what a mess.

OK it’s superlate. I’m glad things are going well on the new job, Cj!
One more manly hug for Vanamonde: In case you ever forget that you’re a sexy beast, then let this situation be your reminder. Whatever this chick’s faults, she found you attractive. So there will be plenty more who will find you attractive and also be willing to treat you right. (Sorry if that’s overstepping)
Goodnight, sideboob.

Great news about the knee, Cj! And the job!
Mom didn’t get our of the hospital after all. She’s got some kind of infection in her blood, so they kept her there. We’re going in later on this morning (the hospital is an hour from where mom & dad live, so WORD to the good weather).

Hubby is happy, he has a play date coming over later today. They’re going to play guitar and some chess and talk and generally have a good time. I’m going to hide here in the office so they can have some “man time”
December 13th, 2009 at 7:51 am
Catching up:
Yeah! to Cj for rocking her job and being able to rock on her knee again. You rock ;)
December 13th, 2009 at 7:52 am
Warm and fuzzy thoughts to Vanamonde, as well as a big hug. I know it’s cliche but hang in there babe.
December 13th, 2009 at 7:54 am
EssBee, A big hug to you and your mom, too. And one to Sly B as well because I know the other halves feel the tension we feel, too.

Taking a bevy of little princesses to see the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog today.
I’m sure it will be great, but Enchanted is my all-time favorite princess movie. Followed closely by Ever After.
Drew Barrymore = Swooooooon!
December 13th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Hubby now out of the shower, must attack him, then throw in some laundry.

I guess it’s better him than me but I’ll have to give him extra hugs when he comes back in to help warm him up.

80 today here in the great green south.
Lessons learned today
1. Leveling sandy Florida soil to build a shed is a FAR more difficult task than it sounds.
2. Just because the shed and shed base are from the the same company, and sold as a single unit, is no reason to think that using the shed base should be handled the same way as the shed instructions for building your own base. Nor should you consider the base and the shed to be compatible.
Grrrr. I’m a geek, not a construction worker. I wasn’t designed for this kind of thing.

December 13th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Princess and the Frog = Wow. Truly an original Disney classic. It was like going back in time. I love most Disney movies but there’s something special about the original princesses – Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella… this movie is definitely following the original Disney method that made those movies so special, romantic, happy, sad, and spooky all at the same time.
I recommend it.
December 13th, 2009 at 11:44 am
Now – considering that I was up all night with a 2-year-old who didn’t want to sleep, and I have to work from 3pm til midnight, I’m going to finish my In and Out burger and take a nap.

I hadn’t read most of those books, but If you like scifi you owe it yourself to check out the Ted Chiang collection.
December 13th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I see Acacia is available on Audible. Just got my two new credits for the month, so I think I’ll give this one a go after I finish “The Audacity of Hope.”
Thanks for the link, EssBee!

Wait, did I say “Happy Potter”? It’s been a LONG weekend.
Ed, Acacia is a sure bet. I’m starting book 2 (The Other Lands) today.

If anyone is looking for a new Ipod, Amazon is running the Touches at some serious sales. I picked up a 32GB one for $270. On top of that, they are trying to drum up support for their Paypal competitor – Amazon Payments (watch a catchy name). Through the end of the year, they’re offering an extra 5% off lots of items. My net cost is coming to $256. Not too shabby.
https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/index.htm
Looks like the monster 64GB Touch is $364 before the extra 5% off.
Dunno if this is working outside the U.S.
December 13th, 2009 at 9:26 pm

Thanks for the bunnies, J0e! I think the Shining and Superman episodes were the best, of the ones I watched.

I actually *did* like Pattern Recognition, although his latest book was a stinker.

Not to be “all about me” again, but I just got home from work. Customer called at like 11:30 and kept me on the phone for an hour or so.. either way.. I wonder if that will be a normal occurrence. Either way. I did good, made some sales, made that last customer happy and my current supervisor says I have a gift for consultation. So, I’m on the right path. I am, however, going to be tired in the morning.

Nomad: Dictating how people participate in a Podcamp is uncool. Charging people admission to Podcamp is also uncool.
I don’t know their story though, so I will withhold condemnation. You’ll probably find a creative environment with a bunch of cool, smart people. . . . surrounded by social media wanks.

I think I said before they had a “Podcamp” two and a hlaf years back one afternoon at a bar.
December 14th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I had a really good experience with the local indie/story-gamer JiffyCon last month. Really casual and friendly folks.
I am trying to make a connection between that good experience and how awesome PodCampAZ sounds with giving this one a chance, but my sleep adled brain isn’t being very helpful.
I guess, simply put, I think that it would be nice to find some smart creatives in real life. Errrr… in real life, meaning locally. Yall are pretty damn smart creatives.

add the word “alone” anywhere in there.
December 14th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
One of the joys of being married to someone in the teaching profession is you don’t actually see much of them this last week of school. Between Christmas concerts, parent counsel meetings, etc, he expects to be home quite late every night this week.

December 14th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Just obligated to attend. He has performed in the past. When that happens I usually try to attend myself. However, at -40, I may not have even if he was playing.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Except tonight it’s a parent counsel meeting that has him captive

Today at lunchtime, I found and sent a present (an in-game collectible card) to my PackRat Secret Santa recipient, then went to the post office and put my Deadpan Secret Santa gift in the mail. Tonight, when I got home, I found a DPSS gift waiting for me! Thanks, Nomad Scry! :-)

Hopefully they will keep the John Barry soundtrack…
December 15th, 2009 at 3:04 am
Also TEB’s Christmas Card arrived today, thank you TEB.
December 15th, 2009 at 3:46 am
Somehow, I don’t see them releasing that under the Disney label this time around. The Black Hole wasn’t so epicly great as to be a classic. The imagery is dated enough that it probably could have a chance with a remake. The premise certainly has potential.

gah.
Who cares.
December 15th, 2009 at 11:47 am
srsly. I’m shocked when people bring this up. I guess it helps with the lifestyle envy to watch these rich brats fall on their faces.
And Jeremy makes a great point about rape vs. infidelity. Are it really an equal or lesser crime?

Mr. Null,
In fact, I specifically remember channel surfing and for reasons unknown I ended up watching Nancy Grace talk about that very situation. She was going on and on about “Don’t we already know what transpired here? and “Why even have a trial and just lock the boys up?” I remember thinking, what has been alleged is pretty awful but shouldn’t we wait until all the facts of the case come forth? And sure enough, it came to light that the “victim” had fabricated the whole thing. There wasn’t a big follow up story about the abuses of the press following that. Go figure.
December 15th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
So woot we all!

One other Tiger thought.
His F#$% up has come to light in a most unfortunate time in history (for him personally).
I fear the strong similarity between him and the current President (soft spoken, fair skinned, HIGHLY successful black men) has resulted in this unrelenting public flogging. For a certain, increasingly vocal segment of our society, Tiger’s failings prove (in thier minds) every bad thought they have about having a black man in the White House. He may have become the surrogate target for their vitriol.

Fame cuts both ways. Tiger isn’t a super millionaire because of his golf skills (though I know some of his tournament wins give him some big payouts), but because of his endorsement deals to hock Nike, Buick, and whatever else. His celebrity status brought him riches. He should have been more careful, as a matter of “job security” if not any moral issues.
December 15th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
Right, he was dumb for sure. It just doesn’t warrant all the hub-bub, broo-ha-ha and Chinese Computer Animation.

Yes, it is. :-)

I can’t use my hardness tester this week. The joys of having a hubby work until you’re well and truly asleep. :(
December 16th, 2009 at 7:47 am
You have a perfect score with me, Cj ;)
December 16th, 2009 at 7:57 am
Good show, as usual, Cj
December 16th, 2009 at 8:00 am
Well, I need to wrap some Christmas presents.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:01 am
“The joys of having a hubby work until you’re well and truly asleep.”
Do you mean “until you pass out”?
That requires both skill AND dedication. (You did say “joys”.)

Morning J0e, JfS.
I’d say sorry your breath kills, Jeremy, but I think my sympathies should be aimed more towards your wife :)
December 16th, 2009 at 8:18 am
I’m experimenting with my hair (husbands hate that) and have my shirt off in order to safeguard it from getting hair dye on it.
The house is cold when you walk around without a shirt. My shoulders get cold easily
(and for those who have really dirty minds, clean them up, I do have a towel wrapped around the sticky-out parts ;) )
December 16th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Just a couple more minutes, then I can have a nice warm shower.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:25 am
“Sticky-out parts”
A) The most erotic phrase ever invented
B) Is the hair dye sticky?
C) Our new band name
December 16th, 2009 at 8:31 am
There, all rinsed and dressed. I had to wrestle with the cat to get my sweater back, but at least she kept it nice and warm.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:33 am
I just went a couple of shades darker. I think my hubby would disown me if I did anything too dramatic
December 16th, 2009 at 8:40 am
Some guys don’t even notice if the hair color change isn’t that drastic. I’ve never done that, though. . .
December 16th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Don’t get me wrong Jack, but somehow I have trouble believing you’ve never done that.
Once upon a time my hair was quite long (half way down my back), I had it cut to my shoulders and my hubby didn’t notice. He knew something was different, but couldn’t pin it down so he didn’t say anything in case he was wrong.
Silly hubby.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Me neither.
Showered and shaved. Decided to go with the chops again.
December 16th, 2009 at 8:52 am
Yeah, I’ve been there. My ex had waist length hair but when she got it chopped to just under her shoulder blades, I know something was wrong but I couldn’t place what it was.
It’s a foot of hair, and yet, not so much. When I last had my hair almost waist length, I got stuck in a machine and ended up with it just past my chin… that was noticeable.
(Not to mention utterly terrifying.)
December 16th, 2009 at 8:53 am
I’d rather my hair cuts be voluntary ;)
December 16th, 2009 at 8:56 am
I’m at that shaggy in between phase right now. I haven’t cut my hair since July. I haven’t decided whether or not I’m going to grow it out.
I asked my hubby what he prefers and got that totally unhelpful answer of “I love your hair no matter how you have it. What ever you feel like, dear”
I guess I’ll have to decide one way or another by March so I don’t look like a hobo at the DPmmmmm meet up.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Yikes, Nomad. I’m guessing that the machine wasn’t “Supercuts”?
December 16th, 2009 at 9:02 am
I’m still stuck on “hardness tester” . . .
December 16th, 2009 at 9:05 am
I can’t help feeling that Mr TEB is being very diplomatic.
:)
December 16th, 2009 at 9:12 am
It sound like hubby is truly a wise man. Whatever you decide to do with your hair for the March MMMmmmeetup will be fine, Bunny. :P
I sure hope it wasn’t the hardness tester machine that pulled Nomad’s hair. That makes the story 10x more horrifying. (I hope I’m not kidding around about a truly traumatizing event there, NS)
December 16th, 2009 at 9:12 am
JN: when i got asked to network the hardness tester i couldn’t help but comment on it.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I think Van has it, though I’d say Mr. TEB is being overly diplomatic.
Jack: Tis cool. I’d give the grissly details, but I’m not supposed to “reveal secrets” about the machines and blahblahblah. When I get out of there, I’ll have a juicy dumbass memory for the show. The upside is that I always were my safety gear and I always tuck my hair inside my shirt so that it cannot fall into the machine again. And no jewelry either. Safety first.
Unless I’m driving. Then look out. =P

December 16th, 2009 at 9:19 am
when I was 19 i stopped cutting my hair till i was 23 than i shaved it off. i had a 14inch pony tail. I stared loosing my hair when i was 15 so now at 30 i wouldn’t have hair if i could.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:21 am
So what the heck is a hardness tester anyhow? I’m guessing it has to do with vulnerabilities, but it can’t be as simple as a port scan, right?
December 16th, 2009 at 9:22 am
Believe it or not, sometimes girls want an honest answer when they ask their other halves a looks question. Of course “does this outfit make me look fat” requires diplomacy but ” do you prefer my hair long or short?” requires an honest answer. How else are we supposed to know what kind of gussying up to do to make you happy?
I do, however, try to make things easy ony hubby and generally avoid the “requires a diplomatic answer” questions but he’s a man. What are you going to do? *shrug*
December 16th, 2009 at 9:22 am
reaper: You just made me cry.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:25 am
And then sometimes you just make an involuntary facial twitch at a new hairstyle and it haunts you forever. It’s been a long time and Jade hasn’t had her hair done with bangs since.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:29 am
I once told an ex that her braided ponytails reminded me of the girls in the “World’s Strongest Women” shows on ESPN. That was it for that hairstyle.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:29 am
LOL, Scry
December 16th, 2009 at 9:30 am
we cut pieces out of sheets of metal (4×8 foot steel) and if it is a job for the military, QC has to test the batch of sheets to determine what parts of the vehicle these sheets can be made into. QC will take a small sample of a sheet and put it in the clamp to tell the properties of the metal
December 16th, 2009 at 9:34 am
Sorry NS, I just looked creepy with long hair. I tried as long as I could to pull it off. I loved having long hair but it was starting to get in the way of job prospects and any chance of having a girlfriend
December 16th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Jack, *cough* I got a funny look from my coworker after I read your comment. *cough* I felt like I was listening to LLAP. *cough* I think all the water is out now

December 16th, 2009 at 9:45 am
I told my hubby if he wouldn’t tell me what he preferred, I’d cut my hair like my Dragon Age avatar. He just rolled his eyes.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:47 am
Maybe I’m a bit weird, but when I like somebody I want them to dress and cut their hair the way they want and not the way I want.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:49 am
As true as that may be Van, you still have preferences. Especially if you’ve known the person a long time and have seen them go through different phases.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:51 am
As for honest answers…maybe an agreed word so the other person knows that this time youvwant an honest answer…
December 16th, 2009 at 9:52 am
On that note, it’s time to think about lunch… I’m thinking Arby’s today.
December 16th, 2009 at 9:53 am
Yes It’s never got to long…maybe that is why :)
December 16th, 2009 at 9:58 am
I wish I could still have long hair, but that just doesn’t age well with most guys. The haircuts were just about the only smart thing Metallica did in the 90s.
Bunny, I think hubby’s intentions are in the right place. If you nudge him for his honest preferences for your next hair venture, I bet he’ll tell you.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Finally finished assembling Jade’s present.
Then I had to take part of it back apart so that I could shove it into the closet to hide for the next 8 days.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:34 am
One of these days I’ll have to cut my hair, but I’m pretty sure that I’ll take my grandfather’s path and go from locks to butch. In the meantime, I enjoy threatening to keep the queue if I start going bald. It makes those close to me cringe.
Heh.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Wait, Jack, you don’t like S&M? That was ‘99.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:42 am
*Pauses to let the implications of Nomad’s question sink in*
December 16th, 2009 at 10:48 am
Hrmmm…. Honesty is a dangerous weapon… It falls into the same category as “grenades”. I find that I can be honest with a woman, and they’ll thank me up front, but I’ve found that they will let that answer simmer on the back-burner for a few hours, until after I’ve forgotten the original question in the first place, and they hit you with something like “What do you mean I don’t look good in short skirts?”
Diplomacy. Is. Safe.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:01 am
Hair…I am as ever-changing as something that changes a lot.
Currently I am growing it out. It was long and poofy in the summer. I told Kerry that I was going to cut it and she said that I was cutting away my love for her.
Totally cut it anyway. Heheh.

I think Metallica released plenty of decent music in the 90s, NS – but didn’t make many smart moves. Bob Rock? Really?

As a counter point to what CJ said in LLAP 129, a lot of women like to celebrate by getting stuck by a hot poker.

I’m a fan of Gordon – - I mean, Sting – - but taken as an irreverent list, it made for snarky, pithy chuckles.

22. He performed at Live Aid.
23. With Phil Collins.
24. Phil Collins sucks.
25. Even though Sting and Phil Collins performed together, people continued to starve in Ethiopia.
HA!!

On a different note … a musical one !
I really really really should do an “earbuds” on this but …
I cannot recommend enough … The Klezmonauts – “Oiy to the World”.
First … these guys are really good musicians so it’s got that going on.
Second – it’s a copletely differrent sound and arrangement of so many of the tunes you are probably on the verge of getting sick of.
Finally – for the musicians in the crowd … the “musical jokes” that are woven into these arrangements are HI-larious!
The concept should say it all … it is a traditional Jewish Klezmer band doing traditional Christmas songs.
Do yourself a favor and check it out -

Good evening, Pan.
Home from my son’s “winter program” at school. My wife reminded me that this will be the last one we attend as he’ll be moving up to Kindergarten next year.
Also, I’m now fondling my new 32GB Ipod Touch.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
I’m too musically ignorant and lacking in ‘taste’ to really comment, but everything I’ve heard from Metallica (up until St. Anger) I have enjoyed. If Bob Rock was involved in making all of their albums through the 90’s and those albums were filled with good music, then I don’t understand pointing him out as a not-smart move. Then again, I don’t really understand what part the producer plays.
Oh, and as usual, I wasn’t aware of them until after all of their original fans completely freaked out over the the new sounds after the … what was it, the Black Album? A co-worker (circa ‘97) lent me a pile including old and new stuff so that I could hear how they had lost their way. I ended up liking Metallica all around.
If we want to point out stupid decisions, the whole letting Lars speak in public thing would be a big mark against Metallica.
(Too much blahblahblah?)
