Hi guys. I haven’t read any of yesterdays board posts, but did see on Ed’s FB page that Tee lost his wife yesterday. I was so sorry to hear this. Thanks for the link, Jack.
This is pretty much the worst thing Ive heard in a long time. Geh. No words of comfort will ever truly compensate. My heart breaks for the two of them.
December ’09 numbers: 3,022 A 23% increase over December ’08
Over all, there was a 24% increase in the number of comments in 2009 over 2008.
However, that being said, January and February 2008 numbers are suspect due to server errors. Still, going by March – December, there was still a 21% increase in comments in 2009.
That lolbible comic *is* funny though. (Altho I didn’t click on past the Adam and Eve one)
We’ve been having a quiet comment week anyway, but I do want everyone to feel comfortable to comment again naturally. I don’t think a little shared levity is in any way disrespectful or callous.
Hey Amy!
No, j0e, i haven’t finished classes yet. I think i’ve started a new program since i last spoke to everyone… I’m an English Education major these days. I should be finished with that in May of 2012… That will be a solid NINE YEARS as an undergraduate! (I should just go for an even ten, huh?)
fyi: I hit songmeanings.net yesterday for some lyrics, spent the next 2 hours scouring the “malware defense” virus from my computer. I didn’t even click anything on the site.
Avoid songmeanings.net, and view all lyrics sites with extreme caution. They’ve apparently become virus petri dishes.
I am still in Dallas, and it’s FREEZING (though I guess it’s double-digits below zero in Denver – eh, Lo Pan?). I am very excited to get the hell out of here and go home tonight. It’s been a long work-week, and I’m anxious to see Sly B.
True dat, Bunny. I think we were talking about the last several episodes, though — at least I was. iTunes hasn’t picked one up for me since November, I think.
Jack: Those lyric sites have been rather dangerous for years. I’ve avoided them altogether for quite some time. Songbird has a neat add-on that pulls the lyrics up for you while the song is playing. Did I ever mention I like Songbird?
My head hurts, but ya know… I am in decent spirits. I am about 423424848 hours behind on everything I need to get done today, but the 4 hours of sleep I got last night should help.
EssBee :Me neither, guys. iTunes has no love for DP.
I am still in Dallas, and it’s FREEZING (though I guess it’s double-digits below zero in Denver – eh, Lo Pan?). I am very excited to get the hell out of here and go home tonight. It’s been a long work-week, and I’m anxious to see Sly B.
TGIF!
Lo Pan cannot hear you over his freezedried crackling no-flesh body.
So, who all is going the March meetup? I’m planning to get my flight booked this weekend. I know I won’t make Thursday dinner as I’m planning to take Friday off and fly in early Friday afternoon. Looking at flying back home Sunday afternoon. It sounds like Friday night will be a visit to EVFN and then a Saturday full of Deadpan Debauchery.
Ed that’s what we did in September. Cj, indicated to me she’d be willing to host the Saturday again this year, but I’m not sure what Jack’s plans are this year.
Thanks! I already have plans for someone else to pay for me to see Avatar in 3-D… And I had so wanted to wait to watch it through Netflix. But, as long as I’m not paying my own cash, I’m pretty cool with seeing just about anything. It did make demanding my money back after Dungeons & Dragons difficult, though…
Earlier this afternoon, I heard a girl say “I like a Brazilian Cherry”.
Now, apparently she was referring to hardwood … but once my mind has gone “there”, it’s real difficult to get it to leave.
Nomad Scry :
This episode -still- isn’t showing up on iTunes.
*cough*
Nomad – are you referring to DP# 149 or #150 ?
I fear that iTunes will never recognize their existence with #149 it’s undoubtedly due to my “comic stylings” :(
I got no idea why it would hate #150.
… and just FYI -
Unless you are prepared to see the “Full Monti” (what’s the feminine of that?) and are in a location that wouldn’t frown on your viewing such … don’t follow a “Brazilian” search link to the Wikipedia entry for “Bikini waxing”.
You know, when Tennant first showed up after Eccelston, I thought the BBC had made a big mistake. But, Tennant proved excellent, once you got used to his more whimsical take on The Doctor. Maybe this new guy will grow on me, but I’m not sure that I want him to.
Today’s WooT shirt has some interesting reading attached. I’ll have to link to the blog for the shirt in case someone ( ) doesn’t see this until after 11pm on Sunday when the WooT changes again. I’m tempted to buy the shirt… But only because it’s pretty not because of the text in the description which reads
Wear this shirt: if you’re a butterfingers, a butterface, or a butter-any-other-body-part.
Which reminded me of two things:
1. Oh Shit, I’m a butterhead (hence I should wear this shirt)
and
2. “Just call me Mr. Butterfingers!” (hence Emo Phillips should wear this shirt while demonstrating how to operate a table saw on UHF’s Town Talk:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toNsPh-pxgc)
I never thought you were the letter writing type,
So now I see the words you chose, the way you write.
So I started to write back about the trees in the snow,
And I saw a bird, couldn’t say what it was
but I thought you’d know.
You always surprised me.
And if I wrote you,
If I wrote you,
You would know me,
And you would not write me again.
Hello Deadpan you are being missed. I am in the process of moving into the big city of Tulsa and I am currently forced to use library internet. Hopefully that will be repaired within the next week.
About Tee’s wife – I have donated for the upcoming auction a High Quality audio CD presentation with original cover art of the Wander Radio Production of Tee Morris’ story “Reality Check” which has the honor of actually getting radio air play in March of 2007. I will keep you guys updated on that front.
This reverse comments thing is going to be tough to get used to… like the idea though… Off to unpack more boxes…
I had forgotten it was Thursday
It is….

Night Jack
Thanks for the link, Jack.
And, welcome back, Sarah. We have missed you around here, but not forgotten.
Hi guys. I haven’t read any of yesterdays board posts, but did see on Ed’s FB page that Tee lost his wife yesterday. I was so sorry to hear this. Thanks for the link, Jack.
Big *hugs* to all of your guys.
Eight is great!
Man, it’s been hectic around here. Took delivery of printing system & cutter at work and it is all business.
Sp I haven’t been on.
Well Fuck. I totally don’t know what to say…
I know everyone has dealt with loss in there lives and it is never easy but I can’t imagine losing my wife.
Morning Deadpan:
Please add your thoughts to to board.

On a more upbeat note, it’s -25C here. Any warmth would be appreciated.
At least I should be grateful it’s not that bad

Hi Sarah.
Good to hear from you again.
Not forgotten, I’ve frequantly wondered how things worked out for you.
Have you finished with classes now?
Welcome back, Sarah. Too bad it isn’t to happier news.
December ’09 numbers: 3,022 A 23% increase over December ’08

Not bad Deadpan
Sarah: HEY!! Welcome back! I’m super-excited to hear from you again, too!!! :-D
My heart goes out to Tee and his young daughter. Sad news indeed.
A little levity: lol bible stories
http://loldwell.com/?p=419
-25 is not funny.
That lolbible comic *is* funny though. (Altho I didn’t click on past the Adam and Eve one)
We’ve been having a quiet comment week anyway, but I do want everyone to feel comfortable to comment again naturally. I don’t think a little shared levity is in any way disrespectful or callous.
Hey Amy!
No, j0e, i haven’t finished classes yet. I think i’ve started a new program since i last spoke to everyone… I’m an English Education major these days. I should be finished with that in May of 2012… That will be a solid NINE YEARS as an undergraduate! (I should just go for an even ten, huh?)
off to work…
What do you mean quite comments?
Last year, for this week, there were 402 comments. I expect at least the same this week.
quite = quiet
Now what would you do if found a warm one of those..other than buying a nosepeg.
When I was younger I had a friend who actually had one as a pet. It was de-scented and was really, really cute.
My cat wouldn’t like it, but I still wouldn’t mind one.
Van, Bunny, are you talking about the giant 6 ft. orc figurine?
Took this photo when I was out for a walk:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3216423&l=bfee2ecbf1&id=652661858
the blue snow is an artifact of the merging process
*whine* I want a pet orc!
Van that is a gorgeous pic.
“I would pet him and squeeze him and call him George.”
@Vanamonde
Damn, that is a gorgeous picture.
Lunch time!
I see sushi in my eating future.
Oh, and if no one minds, I am going to take credit for that 21% increase in
nipples. *cough*
Heh.
Gorgeous photo, Van.
Nomad Scry: now with 21% more nipples.
CP: The Great Leap Foward Poured Down Upon Us One Day Like A Mighty Storm, Suddenly And Furiously Blinding Our Senses — Red Sparowes
As long as there’s no 21% increase in nipple hair.
Taking a moment of silence.
>Silence<
>/Silence<
Now, to join in:
That 21% is in numbers. Was there corresponding increase in the size of the nipples?
Fuck You iPhone. Pretty funny.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7SzB58qHI0&feature=player_embedded#
I’d like to point (pun intended) out that I have plenty of nipplage to offer as well.

I’m hoping for a 21% increase in perkiness, btw.

Man I which I had $700 and a larger house to put this in. It would be a nice addition for a media room.
@jackmangan
Careful! You might poke an eye out with one of those.
Holy crap. That really sucks.
fyi: I hit songmeanings.net yesterday for some lyrics, spent the next 2 hours scouring the “malware defense” virus from my computer. I didn’t even click anything on the site.
Avoid songmeanings.net, and view all lyrics sites with extreme caution. They’ve apparently become virus petri dishes.
Wow, a lyrical computer virus. Does it make your computer sing off key?
One of my fav short stories can be read for free from here with the authors permission:
http://nojojojo.livejournal.com/103618.html
@jackmangan
That’s why I use Firefox with NoScript, Adblock, and Flashblock. It’s not complete protection, but it helps a lot.
Not unlike the current “Pop” industry itself.
View all pop lyrics with extreme caution. They’ve apparently become cliche petri dishes.
I’m here. I’m sad. I’m doing what I can for Tee and SB. I miss you all and I need to show up here more often.
just realized the comments now go backwards. Jack, you turn my world upside down.
I totally didn’t record a BLC this week!
I was going to record a traveling story for Tabz too, and the performance art piece, and possibly even some prose from 1988.
Record fail…
21% more
21% less hair
21% bigger
That would be 2.42 nipples. Corresponding increases in diameter would leave no room for nipple hair.
Total Recall?
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/science/article6973994.ece
Makes em that more delicious.
And by that of course I mean 21% more delicious.
I started reading to comments on the Dolphins are People Too article and then gave up in frustration. I should have known better.
I have access to
from work. New wordpress may be the curprit?
Whatever the reason… be afraid.. be very afraid.
And…

Hey – I’m 21% dolphin! Don’t be dissing my culture.
FYI – I graduate tonight. We are going to Waffle House!
*dolphin chatter*
@jackmangan
But can you balance your ball on your nose?
Cj at Work! Congratulations on the graduation.
And on the Waffle House….
OK everyone. Be good.
Goodnight
@jackmangan
We have no Waffle House here. I’d have to drive four hours to PA if I wanted it scattered and smothered.
*sobs*
Morning Pan, buses still working (damn them all to hell!) but the heaters aren’t. Today’s safety word is:
Brrrrrrrrr!
Did anyone else notice that iTunes didn’t pick up this episode of the
or is it just me?
Itunes is on strike. I’m getting errors for Deadpan, Slice, and a couple of other FPM shows that I follow.
Though, this week, there’s no file, so it’s inconclusive as to Itunes willingness to bring us our Deadpan fix.
I haven’t been able to download a new DP in iTunes for weeks.
Me neither, guys. iTunes has no love for DP.
I am still in Dallas, and it’s FREEZING (though I guess it’s double-digits below zero in Denver – eh, Lo Pan?). I am very excited to get the hell out of here and go home tonight. It’s been a long work-week, and I’m anxious to see Sly B.
TGIF!
Morning Pan!
-7C. and warming. Yoo Hoo!
There was no episode this week to pick up.
True dat, Bunny. I think we were talking about the last several episodes, though — at least I was. iTunes hasn’t picked one up for me since November, I think.
Jack: Those lyric sites have been rather dangerous for years. I’ve avoided them altogether for quite some time. Songbird has a neat add-on that pulls the lyrics up for you while the song is playing. Did I ever mention I like Songbird?
Cj: Way to go!
We’ve not made it to a waffle house yet. :-(
Today I’m in wait mode. I’m expecting a delivery somewhere between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm.
Did my shopping yesterday since I obviously can’t go today. I’m hoping they will come early enough so I can sneak to Ikea this afternoon.
We were given a box of chocolate truffles over Christmas. I might make something cookie like out of them today.
My head hurts, but ya know… I am in decent spirits. I am about 423424848 hours behind on everything I need to get done today, but the 4 hours of sleep I got last night should help.
Rock on!
Positive thinking for the win!

New stuff has more electronic in it.
Like Cherry 2000?
So, who all is going the March meetup? I’m planning to get my flight booked this weekend. I know I won’t make Thursday dinner as I’m planning to take Friday off and fly in early Friday afternoon. Looking at flying back home Sunday afternoon. It sounds like Friday night will be a visit to EVFN and then a Saturday full of Deadpan Debauchery.
That sound about right?
Quick hop in.
Ed that’s what we did in September. Cj, indicated to me she’d be willing to host the Saturday again this year, but I’m not sure what Jack’s plans are this year.
@The Energizer Bunny
Thanks! I already have plans for someone else to pay for me to see Avatar in 3-D… And I had so wanted to wait to watch it through Netflix. But, as long as I’m not paying my own cash, I’m pretty cool with seeing just about anything. It did make demanding my money back after Dungeons & Dragons difficult, though…
@Lejon (from Chandler)
Thats the gift that keeps on giving….
@Lo Pan
A lot like herpes
@Lejon (from Chandler)
Ironically, thats the gift I keep on getting.

OOOOOH OHHHH OHHHHHHH I love my new Avatar!
Erm… least i will…. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAWOOOOOO!
Perhaps this could assist you in making that decision?
http://www.redferret.net/?p=17504
btw: watched “Polar Express” again yesterday. IMHO That show just feels creepier every time I view it.
Hmmm, supposedly Daybreakers is getting solid reviews
Where the hell’s me new GrAvatar???? BAH!
hMMMMM…………. *drunken crickets*
Lobody’s hooooooooome
Oh YEAH!!!!!!!! NEW AVATAR! COMIN ATCHAR! WHOOOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOOOO!
Wow. What a day. If it wasn’t Friday, it would almost be a complete disaster.
Some beer should help alleviate things.
I like my Avatar, it’s staying.
Earlier this afternoon, I heard a girl say “I like a Brazilian Cherry”.
Now, apparently she was referring to hardwood … but once my mind has gone “there”, it’s real difficult to get it to leave.
I’m keeping my avatar as well. :-)

Well speaking for myself, I don’t find RB funny at all.
Nomad – are you referring to DP# 149 or #150 ?
I fear that iTunes will never recognize their existence with #149 it’s undoubtedly due to my “comic stylings” :(
I got no idea why it would hate #150.
… and just FYI -
Unless you are prepared to see the “Full Monti” (what’s the feminine of that?) and are in a location that wouldn’t frown on your viewing such … don’t follow a “Brazilian” search link to the Wikipedia entry for “Bikini waxing”.
I’m just saying.
Lejon: Happy Birthday to you tomorrow! I’ll not be around tomorrow, so this way I’m not late.
You know, when Tennant first showed up after Eccelston, I thought the BBC had made a big mistake. But, Tennant proved excellent, once you got used to his more whimsical take on The Doctor. Maybe this new guy will grow on me, but I’m not sure that I want him to.
Well just got back from seeing ‘The Road’.
Don’t see this movie if you are suicidal.
Very bleak and well acted.
I bought the book and never read it, the movie hasn’t inspired me to dig it out.
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Lejon.
I DID read the book. Sounds like the movie was true to the original story.
It . is . not . a . happy . book
Today’s WooT shirt has some interesting reading attached. I’ll have to link to the blog for the shirt in case someone (
