Test Unshow II
This Unshow is not an altogether official release; it really just exists to troubleshoot the feed. Please listen if it comes through your iTunes or other Podcatcher, and contact me with the show codeword – email or in the comments is fine.
Please also feel free to continue the discussion in the old post – unless you really fee la strong urge to move it here.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
Ok, no fair posting a new show on a Sunday.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
Will have to wait until tomorrow to see if I-tunes is any happier, though
January 24th, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I feels “la” strong urge to post here.
Bunnies like to hop around.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Awww. Cute sleeping lion on TV. I wonder if hubby would let me get a baby lion. Would the Canadian government?
January 24th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
I think it’s time to switch from whisky to a beer. Then it’s time to take the TV off mute and watch me some.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:56 pm

Unshow in my iTunes feed and it WORKS even!
All the missing shows (since “Deadpanezer”) have appeared in iTunes as well, though I’ll have to push the “get” button to retrieve them.
Still … long time NO PAN!!!!
Hope that is over.

The Feed, boss, the Feed!
January 24th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
So it was the theme???
January 24th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
Test post from Opera Mini on Droid.
January 24th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
Testing post from Dolphin browser on Droid.
January 24th, 2010 at 7:52 pm
And, finally test post from default Google browser on DROID.
January 24th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
Well, there you have it. DROID approves of this theme for browsing and posting.
You know, two years from now, when I’m ready for a super hot 4G Android phone, I hope Motorola has licenses in place to call it the ZOD.
I can see the footage manipulated from Superman II to put the phone in the general’s hands as he says “Kneel before ZOD!”
January 24th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Sweet!

You can find it yourself in the app store.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:05 am
Lexx was bad. Verging, depending on your taste, onto so bad you can’t stop watching it. Though the concept of a half-life bug assasin dude was pretty neat.
Now that you can get the entire run of Farscape for $70, it is a sure fire.
I just finished watching the BBC Demons and it has no conclusion whatsoever, and it isn’t being picked up for a second series, so I’d mostly say pass on it. Which is a shame because the characters were interesting and I liked the way it referenced other lore.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:07 am
To be fair, my taste is suspect. I used to enjoy it when the old SciFi channel would have an all day marathon of the Beastmaster TV show. I’d leave the TV on when I went to bed so that when my wife would come home from school she would be greeted with that silly man in his funny underpants.
I like to imagine she would throw her arms up and yell “NOOOO!!!” into the sky.
He he he he.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:20 am
Oh in regards to Farscape, if your DVD/Bluray play upscales to HD, the DVD releases won’t look to shabby on your HD TVs.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:23 am
+o
January 25th, 2010 at 3:50 am
True that, Van. I may have to go ahead and get that Farscape set. SyFy doesn’t seem to run that one anymore so I haven’t seen any of it in years.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:52 am
As I sit here watching the news while I eat breakfast and surf, I continue to be amazed as the news droids ability to report on a fiery tanker explosion that killed the driver, a place crash that killed two, and the closing of a small town book store all with the same cadence and emotion.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:54 am

There’s a lovely sketch by in the Alas Smith and Jones show, where the news anchor speaks the news of an aircraft disaster then lists the death toll in countries of importance..
January 25th, 2010 at 5:30 am
Morning Pan!
There’s a

On another note, hubby broke the snow shovel on the weekend. I guess I’ll be spending more money once the stores open. It seems to be what I do best

Wow, getting back on this theme is like slipping on a favorite, well-worn old pair of sneakers. It feels great, but you’re also acutely aware of how much you like your shiny new ones.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:11 am
“Can I get an “Amen”, Joe?”
Yep.
Sadly, the fall out from the whacked out nightmare that was Bush/Cheney will be with us for some years to come.
They packed the Supreme Court with those cut from their own cloth to ensure that the well being of corporate America would always be considered first.
Also, with the knowledge that this Supreme Court had their back they were emboldened to make so many ludicrase assertions about the power of the President and V.P.
Remember some of these gems?
( ) ANYTHING a president does in the name of “Protecting the country” during a time of war is legal.
( ) That interrogation techniques aren’t torture if the office of the President says they aren’t.
( ) That the Vice President is a member of the Executive branch and therefor does NOT have to answer to legislative branch (congress) nor follow any of the rules that restrict them.
( ) That the Vice President, as President of The Senate, is a member of the legislative branch and therefor NOT restricted by any of the rules that apply to the Executive Branch.
These were just some of the zany rulings (backed up by the Attorney General they appointed), that they could rest assured their Supreme Court would find in their favor or simply just refuse to hear.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:11 am
BTW: If President Obama was NEARLY as crafty and opportunistic as that propagandists over at Faux News say he is … he would have ALREADY utilized all of the powers that Bush gave to the office of the President and we would have passed health care months ago. Also, Glenn Beck and friends would be experiencing “NOT Torture” in GITMO simply because the President declared it “protecting our country during a time of war”.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:15 am
3/10 for me
January 25th, 2010 at 9:21 am
[oversimplify] And J0e, that is Obama’s failing. He should tell the corrupt Repubs and Dems blocking Health Care “I’m the decider” and make it happen. Did dubya care that he was driving our economy to the brink with his oil profit war? [/oversimplify]
And now. . . adorable evil bunnies:

Holy crap! It’s a veritable snow storm happening out there.

I missed this TV series at the time, judging from the reviews it’s as crap as Hyperdrive:

January 25th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Now a tiny rant.
I live in a winter climate. It is a well known fact that you can’t plant flowers in Calgary until at least the Victoria Day weekend, which is in May. So tell me, oh great Panites, why, in the middle of January, was the store clearing, and almost out of, it’s snow shovels and already had a number of its shelves stocked with spring seeds, hoes, spades, fertilizer, etc.?
Since they were on clearance sale I bought two shovels then, hopefully, I won’t have to do this again next year.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:51 am
TEB: Sounds like one of those stupid chain-wide policy choices.

Jack, please ignore my last e-mail. I hit send then realized who it went to. I really have to stop sending you stuff. Then, when I hit the letter “j” and “enter” yours won’t be the e-mail that comes up.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:54 am
Time to change the kitty litter. Lucky me.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:58 am
If it’s any consolation, Jack I do it the other way around, too. Once I sent something meant for you to my father in law. His name is Jack, too.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:12 am
So back from seeing ‘A Prophet’ – french film about the rise of a criminal.
Not bad, but overlong and I kept looking at my watch.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Vanamonde: “and I kept looking at my watch.”
I bought a new watch last week and it didn’t have a light on it. I was very upset
I guess that’s what you get when you cheap out on your wrist wear.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Well, I’ve changed the kitty litter; took the garbage and recycling out for pickup tomorrow, and even hung a new shower curtain.
Now I think it’s time to think about lunch. I’m thinking cabbage rolls today.

Today is also the birthday of my Junior prom date, who I’ve re-connected with on FB. Odd, that.

Happy Birthday JFS.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Well that’s just dandy. Two games I had on pre-order decided to both come today. Fortunately, I can’t actually install Mass Effect 2 until tomorrow, so I guess I’m starting Ego Draconis today.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:31 am
Yes I’m tempted by MS2 as the reviews have claimed the performance issues have been solved on the 360…but I’ll wait till it comes down in price.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:37 am
I play strictly on the PC. The First Mass Effect ran fine for me.
The only downer is, there is a feature in ME2 where you can import your character from ME1. Due to limited space on my computer I have long since removed ME1 from my system so can’t take advantage of that feature.
Hubby has promised, for my birthday in the summer, I can have a new computer, (temporarily) solving the space issue.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Another rant:
Due to Canadian law, literature must be included in French on all products. While I don’t have a problem with this in general, Ego Draconis did it in a way to tick me off. The actual paper manual is in French, the English version is a PDF on the disk. I like the paper version of the manual. I like to sit and read the manual as a program is installing. I can’t do it here. Humph!
January 25th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Been playing the demo, reminds me of Oids and Thrust:

I remember Oids being fun, but Projectlye was always my favorite Amiga/ST game:

And the instructions were in English.
January 25th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Still installing Ego Draconis. The game is installed but the update is 500 meg so it’s taking awhile to do its thing.
*sigh*

I guess I’m not going to see my hubby for most of this week.
I’ll see him tonight but after that… He’s got a dentist appointment tomorrow evening to get his chipped tooth fixed. Parent teacher interviews on Wednesday and Thursday. It will be a lonely, lonely week for this bunny.
January 25th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
80%
January 25th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
I realize most games need updates but such a large one on release has me a little worried.
In my mind, it just means the game wasn’t really finished when it was put out for sale.
January 25th, 2010 at 1:13 pm
OMG, I didn’t shut off the living room TV from the noon news. I’m not sure what show is on but I keep hearing about STD’s from oral, vaginal and anal sex. I must see what’s on. Or at the very least, mute the TV.

TEB: Friday afternoon they asked for references but I didn’t get the email till about 5:30. I sent them right away and so for they have talked to one. I think I have a very good chance because the HR person called my reference on the way home and (as reported by the person HR called) sounded very excited about me.
One of my other references is teaching a class so he would be hard to talk to. At this point it is seams I’m just waiting to hear something more from them.
I hate this part waiting for thing type of thing is nerve racking.

Good morning!
I had no realization that I hadn’t posted anything for a couple days. I even thought I’d already wished JfS his happy birthday, but not so much.
Sooo… Happy Birthday JfS!
Thank you, Bunny, for making me aware!

On a female note: I wish Vancouver would go back to the stylized whale logo. I don’t like the the old crossed sticks that they seem to have gone back to.
*grumble, grumble* Stupid Flames went from third to not being in a playoff position at all now. What the heck is that about? *grumble, grumble*
January 26th, 2010 at 7:13 am
I actually agree with you. The whale was much more appealing. Its that logo that I came to hate as well.
Yeah losing 6 in a row will do that. You should probably look for one more sold defenseman but I dunno if youll wanna be buying or selling here shortly.

IT at work is being silly. So far I’ve had three different people send me notes. Every single suggested solution has been the same as the one suggested to me by the other person. Really, if it doesn’t work the first time, what makes them think it will work the next time, or the next.
I really would like them to try something new.

Good luck with the job, reapo. Those are all causes for optimism. Similarly, I’m wishing the best for EssBee. I won’t spout the positive spin – - but you can really do something good with this situation. Nipples crossed for you both.
I’d actually be curious to get Ed’s take on Dallas, since his Texas is nowhere nearby.
January 26th, 2010 at 9:47 am
The feed is working again! I see the same episodes Usedhair mentioned at the top of the page.
Jack, just out of idle curiosity: Do you add the Farpoint Media “bookends” to your episodes before mixing them down, or does the FPM server automatically add them to all podcast episodes that are uploaded?
January 26th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Oh I’ve not yet begun to Bickle… did the Christians stop killing babies in the name of God during the Crusades because they got a lil Bickle? Nay sir. Nay indeed. My Crusade is worthy and just.

Sorry about your morning, Bunny – but thanks for reeling the wayward Cj back in.

Here’s a true story:
I manage a large pool of educational consultants. One of them, who I’ve worked with for ages and am friends with, is a retired rodeo queen of some note, and related to Roy Rodgers. Her daughter is also a rodeo queen, now 22 years old and married. For Christmas this year, the co-worker of mine sent me a calendar called Cowgirls. Her daughter is the cover girl. The June cowgirl is in a bathtub on a beach with nothing on but a cowboy hat. It is the most lesbianic thing I have EVER seen, and I mean it. The best part is that my friend sent it to me in a completely unironic gesture.

The Sailor pic is hanging right next to that on my office wall.

EssBee, please pass on my fond recollections of Roy Rogers fried chicken.
My horror at the Sailor album cover isn’t homophobia; it’s more of an innate metaphysical dread. I remember the late 70s/80s – - they might have been straight. I do wonder if they ever did a cover of “In the Navy”, by the Village People. . .
January 26th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Oh noone thought it was homophobia, Jack. Your reaction was natural and correct. Plus theyre hot.

anyway… so here’s the plan. When you come to the DP Mmmmeetup in march, bring (2) tin cans and (x) kilometers of string with (x = the number of kilometers between your house and Jack’s abode). Leave one can with an end of the string at Jack’s place and dangle the rest out of the airplane window on your flight home.
Wait a minute… hold on a sec… nope. Wouldn’t work. The gremlin on the wing of the plane would eat the string. Someone else come up with a plan.

January 27th, 2010 at 6:01 am
Our local Sci Fi channel isn’t in HD either, reaper. However a number of the movie channels are so It’s good to record those. Also, CBC and TSN Canada are in HD so we can also watch our sports goodness.
Funny thing, Discovery isn’t in HD.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:10 am
Bunny,
that is strange. Discovery was the channel that really brought HD to the masses first from my understanding. I get 3 NHL games a week in HD because I don’t have a local team. at least I’ll get baseball in HD most of the time.

Jack: Oh, shit! Those shirts! I WANT!
January 27th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Good morning.
Sorry about my whining last night.
Sometimes work isn’t fun. I just had to mini-vent at the time.
Thank you for the hugs.
I’m a sort of walking, talking, mess of a human right now. I’m getting myself gathered though! I have high hopes that I’ll catch up with life soon!
January 27th, 2010 at 7:04 am
Moved
to the work computer. Am now installing Mass Effect 2 on my home computer. Then must go on line and get my four special downloadable content items.
January 27th, 2010 at 7:04 am
Morning Cj!
January 27th, 2010 at 7:09 am
CJ, Vent away! I have done it before and even if no one reads or responds for a few hours it always made me feel better.
January 27th, 2010 at 7:18 am
Be safe EssBee. Dont make no cowgirls sing the blues…
OMFG my life would be complete with that Event Horizon shirt. I must procur….
January 27th, 2010 at 7:34 am
Jack: those shirts ROCK!!!
January 27th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Bunny, Hello, Beautiful! :luv:
Thanks, reaper. I generally try to remain positive and know that I haven’t been as much of late, but I appreciate the support I receive here when I fall short of my own positivity requirements.
And um. Wow. How much I hated Event Horizon – I cannot put into words. Wait… yes I can. I demanded my money back… and got it.
January 27th, 2010 at 7:54 am
And off I go to volunteer in my daughter’s classroom. School releases early today so I’ll get an extra hour with her before I go to work!
This brings me joy :lub: (why am I not getting my swoony face ..)
January 27th, 2010 at 7:55 am
dangit
there it is. One for Bunny too
January 27th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Cj: Hang in tough!
January 27th, 2010 at 8:10 am
Safe travels, EssBee. Don’t forget your passport!!
:LOL:

January 27th, 2010 at 8:13 am
Happy Trails to you…

January 27th, 2010 at 8:32 am
I’m looking forward to seeing the Runaways movie.

January 27th, 2010 at 8:35 am
Me too ditto. Ive always enjoyed the 70’s ladies riot rock. Its gonna be good. Like Dakota Fanning alot too. In a non creepy underage way.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:42 am
The Runaways movie looks pretty cool, though I imagine I’ll see it as a rental. Not really the type of movie the Misses and I would go out to see. Ah Mass Effect. I loved the first one so much, but currently I’m waist deep in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age and Fallout 3. Hopefully after I’ve made it through these three I can get a copy of ME2 for less than $50.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:44 am
ME2 is being evil. It’s not letting me log into the network so I can’t use any of the extra content.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:49 am
Did you really just say “the Misses”? Oh Rhett… Rhett Rhett Rhett… Have you learned nothing Ive taught you?
*shakes head*

Is that a remake of the Tom Selleck/Gene Simmons Runaway movie?
January 27th, 2010 at 8:55 am
I’m not sure I wouldnt relish a remake of that movie. Re-starring Selleck and Simmons. Older, wiser, deadlier…. shazam.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:08 am
M’ bitch?
January 27th, 2010 at 9:39 am
See I knew you still retained the knowledge.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:41 am
*sigh*
Well, am going to take my Boo for lunch. Then I guess I’ll just have to play ME2 without the added content. Saw nothing on the forums so I posted a request. No reply yet.
*sigh*
January 27th, 2010 at 9:47 am
TEB: There have been reports about ME2 DC problems.

January 27th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Vent all you want, Cj. We’ll make more.
January 27th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I imagine ME2 will have a few growing pains this first month. I’m tempted to get the PC version and see how it looks on my 24″ LCD, but I have to be able to start my character from where I left off in ME1, so XBOX 360 version it is.
January 27th, 2010 at 10:00 am
And I just need to say, it’s
to see a Rhett Deadpan reappearance.
January 27th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Apparently, there’s a movie called Ink. Any feedback on it?
January 27th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I watched Ink recently, Johnny Null.
It’s
-Really weird.
-Low-budget.
-Chock full of creative ideas and visuals.
-Painfully silly at times.
-Obviously inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics.
I liked it, but I recommend with caution.
January 27th, 2010 at 10:37 am
Hey thanks Jack, life’s done a bit of a pile on and I’ve been trying to get back to daylight. BTW, I’ve got something for you to take to your next EV@11 . :)
January 27th, 2010 at 11:12 am
Somedays, I’m amazed I don’t have a fucking ulcer.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Agreed ditto. Tho in my case, replace “ulcer” with “liver failure”.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:36 am
That’s the best kind of ulcer to have.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:38 am
The liver is evil and must be punished!
January 27th, 2010 at 11:41 am
Vack from lunch. Thanks for the link ditto, unfortunately, all the problems I’ve been hearing about ME2 aren’t the ones I’ve had. I haven’t had any reply to my forum post yet. May try to log on again in a bit. If it doesn’t work I’ll have to decide whether to play it without the DLC or wait a day and play Ego Draconis instead, with the hope something will come up tomorrow.
i guess I’m venting too.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:43 am
ditto: if you have a f***ing ulcer, then I think you’re doing something wrong. Usually ulcers just sit there and give pain.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:54 am
Jack: Thanks. That’s the vibe I got from the trailer. But it’s still got to be better than The Lost Highway!
January 27th, 2010 at 11:59 am
Theres not much worse than Lost Highway. Even Patricia Arquette’s bouncing boobies in seemingly every scene cant save it.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Ego Draconis it is.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:30 pm
Dr. Lecter has a tasty liver recipe with fava beans and a nice chianti.
January 27th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
*slurping sounds*
January 27th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
Ah Ha! Someone answered my post. I guess my password was too complicated. i aways add symbols and numbers to my passwords. EA doesn’t like that. Letters only.
On to Mass Effect!
January 27th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
I feel a bit let down by Apple’s new Tablet.

January 27th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Van: I do too. It certainly is far less than I hoped for.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
ditto, you hoped it would be less than $500?
January 27th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
Ah, the Ipad, would it have been cooler if it was pirate themed and they called it the Ipatch? Based on the early reports Apple have met my expectations which were pretty low to begin with. I’m not seeing much more than what Tablet PC’s already brought to the table.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Since it doesn’t support flash based content, it brings even less to the table.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
I can’t believe how much press this thing is getting.
For the record:
The pirate patch joke you’ll (hopefully) hear eventually on Deadpan is not as funny as Rhett’s, but is also not a plagiarism.
January 27th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I love you Rhett….
January 27th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
“ditto, you hoped it would be less than $500?”

January 27th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Definitely “meh” on the iPad. I think this one is going to be about as game changing as the Segwey.
I don’t see my wife giving up her Kindle for this.
January 27th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Re: Rhettro’s “Runaways” link featuring Joan Jett – reminds me.
I once worked a Super Trooper at a Joan Jett concert in a collusieum.
Backstage afterwards, I rounded a corner in a hallway and there she was – all alone, leaning up against the wall. It was just she and I.
She was sweaty and looked like she wanted to lay down.
Me? I probably looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
She looked up and me with those dark, heavily eye-linered eyes … and I attempted to fill the awkward pause with as NOT fawning praise as I could manage for a “20 something”.
She ended up signing my crew pass and then suddenly, one of her handlers came and whisk her out of my life forever.
*sniff sniff* I had my chance to become Mr. Joan Jett and I blew it.
Well, … maybe if I HAD blown it …
… er, I mean.
Aaah never mind.
January 27th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Don’t hate yourself for not loving her, J0e.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Hey Deadpan
I think I’m Mass Effected out. Now it’s just me and my Arrow.
January 27th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Oh?
Have you reached Critical Mass effect?
January 27th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
January 27th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
Sad story, JOe!
Hi from Texas, gang! Ess from Tejas. For the night, at least.
Did I ever tell you guys my Linda Perry story? Wait, yes, I have.
January 27th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
:D
January 27th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
Darn, I saw “Runaways movie” and immediately thought of the Brian K. Vaughan comics
January 27th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Exactly! I get pissed off everytime I hear “Runaways movie” and it isn’t the one that I want. Well, like a mini-pissed off. It only lasts an instant.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:48 pm
Do you think that Jobs hides in his office and shakes his fist at the sky when the same mewling fools that have poopooed tablets for fifteen years, including his own, suddenly decide that tablets are awesome if they come with a stupid name?
It’s gotta be frustrating when it isn’t the technology that is being adopted but the marketing.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:54 pm
TEB: Oblio?
