Oooh yes, and good luck to reaper!
Hey! Hey everyone! Hey! Hey did you know Avatar is about to become the highest grossing movie ever???? Hey! Hey did you know thats cheatin’ when you have to pay 15$ per IMAX ticket! Hey!! Hey everyone!!!! Hey watch me jump off this cliff!!!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
Oh and I hope JfS had a slappy good bday.
Avatar – someday I will see it.
Hi Lo Pan!
*looking over the cliff*
By Lo Pan.
Me thinks LoPan needs to take a pill and relax a little.
Thanks Cj
And methinks thats ironic coming from you.
reaper, toss me a rope.
The How Stuff Works gang has to stop coming out with new podcasts. I have enough trouble keeping up. Their newest one is Stuff From the Science Lab.
*Ties rope to tree and tosses other end down the cliff*
Look out below…
hope it’s long enough Lo Pan
You hope…its…long…enough…. *cough*
12 year old humor FTW.
Wha ha! Avs n’ Canucks ar ein an old skool dogfight for the division. Glad those days are back, I’ve missed hating Vancouver very very much.
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*
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.
Morning, DP!
Man, my job and this merger are sucking. I just heard from a 3rd party this morning that my job is moving to Dallas this year. To that I say, bye job, nice knowin’ ya. This girl wasn’t made for Texas.
*hugs* EssBee
A job change might do you some good. Maybe you can find something at Less-Evil Inc.
I’d probably prefer being jobless to Texas as well.
*cough* NO OFFENSE ED!!! *cough*
Also, EssBee, if your job WAS sucking you could probably make a living on Colfax if need be…. Ive considered it.
*Denver joke hi-five*
On the train platform is a young lass wearing a Half Life 2 t-shirt, she gets the geek award for the day.
*lo (pan) five*
Considered it too . . .
cough
Girls gotta do what a guys gotta do, yo.
And I’d only have to walk 30 seconds to work… course I’d have to invest in a good stomach pump.
DAMMIT!!!!! I should have said “Mile – Hi Five”. I fail
“stomach pump” – ew!
I am way to gay to do that for a living. Damn mo-ness of me.
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.
“I am way to gay to do that for a living. Damn mo-ness of me.”
Wouldnt that help? You could just describe your job as “Taste Tester” or something.
Ok, you got me there. *Mile-hi five* do-over.

Hey I’m not advocating…. AAAAAANNNNDDDD I’m sure Ed is REAL happy with our thinking that living in Texas would be on par with giving blow jobs to strangers for a living. *cough*
Sorry Ed….
Also we seem to have cleared out the room.
Bunny, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is par for the course in IT…
or is it insanity…
My thoughts exactly: http://i.imgur.com/Q9Jru.jpg
Sorry, Ed! I just really, really like Colorado.
reaper: lol
EssBee: Sorry about work sucking big time.
I enjoy the the fact our system pisses off the rest of the world. Its FUN!
Hey Sailor…
http://blog.nbc.com/nashvillestar/images/Sailor.jpg
EssBee: sorry to hear about the job.
Lo Pan: That doesn’t surprise me. There are a lot of hells, aren’t there?
Thanks guys. I’ll survive. Compared to what is happening elsewhere in the world, I’m lucky as hell.
CP: Dating a Porn Star — The Weepies
The part about pissing off the world is something I don’t care about. I just want a system the keeps me in base 10 rather than:
foot base 12
yard base 3
pound base 16
gallon base 128 (oz)
gallon base 4 (quart)
gallon base 8 (Pint)
gallon base 16 (cup)
mile base 5280

I wont bother continuing the madness
ditto wins the thread.
Love the madness!
Woo Hoo! IT finally did what I was hoping they would – mainly something different. Now to see if it works.
…and don’t get me started on paper
http://betweenborders.com/wordsmithing/a4-vs-us-letter/
ditto did you check out Pretty Girls Make Graves yet?
I just reread my last to posts…
wow I’m a geek…
Wow, the new program is actually installing. I think I feel faint.
yes. yes you are. what are you even doing at Deadpan? *snicker*
I know it goes without saying that I love each and every one of you!
I just want to send a special *snuggles* to EssBee for today. You rock with awesomesauce! :)
Holy crap! I’ve broken IT
After spending more than an hour on the phone with IT, maybe, possibly but we won’t know for about half an hour, we might have the system working.
I’m not going to hold my breath.
meanwhile… my morning has been shot.
Lo, you must admit that you’ve gotten a little Travis Bickle over the Blue Furries. . . and re: “taste-tester”. . . . hilarious. gross.
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.
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?
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.
Amy: Yeah, FPM adds those bookends automatically.
I’m having a delayed reaction of horror to the Sailor album cover.
HA! Greatest review for an album ever…
“This shit is so bloodless and tragically hip it makes me want to feed fans and critics to fire ants that are actually on fire.”
*winks at Jack* Sayyyyylooooor…..
Holy Cow! It worked! New virus program downloaded and installed on my work computer.
I think I’ll go for lunch now. East Indian buffet calls.
My sofa is too comfortable.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZz
Jack: That’s good. Even after only 9 episodes of “Questors,” opening the project file for the last episode, copying the theme music music, and pasting it into the project file for the new episode is getting old. I can see why you like to play around with your theme music. :-)
Cj: Yes. Your sofa is far too comfortable. I can easily see myself falling asleep on it.

I don’t want to work I just want to bang on the drum all day…
Welcome to my life reaper! Minus the new job on horizon part.
CP: Mia – Chevelle
Hell, I printed out the Sailor album cover.
SERIOUS??!?!?!?!?!? Its hanging in my cube as we speak!!!! Do NOT kill me by saying “just kidding”, EssBee.
Lo Pan: They stopped killing the babies because they realized they’d have no one to fetch the remote for them.
Wait, so does that mean I need to stop killing on Avatar because theyll make good manbeast servants?
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.
/true story
The Sailor pic is hanging right next to that on my office wall.
I really hate .pdfs. I’ve had too many problems in the past with them. Don’t trust ‘em. They can’t look you in the eye.
Lo Pan: Precisely.
EssBee has much better calendars than I have.
Lo Pan: Yes, I have checked out a few of there songs. I’ve heard of them before, but I haven’t given them a good listen just yet. What I’ve heard so far, I like.
reaper: I used to do a lot of drafting and engineering work, so I felt that pain.
Just picked up my copy of Mass Effect 2. I think I’ll start playing tonight.
Does the cover have her on a horse in a yellow trench coat??!??!?!?!?!
YES. OMG – have you seen it?????
Lo Pan, stop messing with me, man.
ditto – bazinga!
LO PAN WINS ALL! KNOWS ALL!!!!!!! Yes I know of what calendar you speak tho I’ve not seen “Ms. June” yet.
OMFG this is HI-LAR-I-OUS!
Lesbo, right?
What is?
Ditto: because there is no money to spend right now all projects are on hold so my days are filled with research on those projects and break-fix work. research is easy to not do.
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. . .
Oh noone thought it was homophobia, Jack. Your reaction was natural and correct. Plus theyre hot.
The horror of the Sailor album is the pants! Do you think any of those guys were fertile after wearing those pants?!
Lesbo? = me hanging THAT calendar on my office at work. Where I manage people. Most of whom are young women.
Now *I* want to see this calendar. :)
I want to see the calendar too! Dammit.

LOL. “taste”
I showed that to one of my colleagues here and she said, “well, it IS hot in June”
http://www.swinn.com/sedona-boutique-hotel/hotel-rooms-in-sedona/jacuzzi-room/
At my company, we aren’t allowed to have calendars like that.
Hmmm…. I’d give her some of my “awesomesauce”.
ditto you work for a lame company.

“blew that”!!
JOe, I miss you, darlin’.

Nothing funny or lighthearted about this story, but I still had to share. Greed destroys lives everywhere.

Very sad, Jack.
Arrived safely.
Catching up. I could read the Pan from my Droid today, but it refused to push my posts through again for some reason. Some days I think we should just chuck all this crap and go back to the reliability of string and tin cans.
Ok, maybe not.
And, no offense taken from Deadpan, CO. Truth is most folks just are cut out to be Texans :)
And, good luck on the job front, reaper. Sounds promising.
I personally love string and tin cans.
Ah Ed….AHHHHHH Ed….
So Ed, no Houstonian vs. Dallasian vs. Austinian rivalry?

The action starts about about 58 seconds.
Ed from Texas said: Some days I think we should just chuck all this crap and go back to the reliability of string and tin cans.
(See… I’ll make my “reply” button by hand until the new format comes back)
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.
I just realized one the of best parts of having access to HD channels:
HOCKEY IN HD! HOLY CRAP!
I love hockey even more now. Just wish I could get more games.
JEALOUS OF YOU REAPER SO JEALOUS BLEEEEEAAAARRRRGGGH!!!!!
Whos your team of choice, sir?
Well, there are those around here who suggest Dallas is more wannabe New York that it is really Texas.
As for Austin…well, I suppose there’s a black bleeding heart sheep in every family.
:)
Lo Pan: Because I don’t have a local team I had to pick someone. I like the Red Wings and the Black Hawks. I lean toward the original 6 – NY + Penguins. Those guidelines help me route for someone when I’m watching. I’m Really looking froward to the CBS Sunday game Red Wings VS. Penguins
BSG in HD, Chuck in HD, Castle in HD, The NFL playoffs in HD.
Pretty much anything in HD….these are a few of my favorite things.
/subject change….
I’ve got it all on UHF!
“Truth is most folks just are cut out to be Texans”
+n’t
brain outruns fingers on occasion.
You had me until Red Wings, reaper ;P. Agreed it should be great game tho.
Oh Ed…. you know I cant mes with you. As that would be messing with Texas and we all know thats not allowed.
:D
hmmm……….
Jack: That was ultra
It sucks when you are forced to constantly check on work crap just to make sure things don’t derail when you aren’t looking.
I’m suffering.
woooooooo is me right now.
Srsly.
I want to be in my bunk.

Morning, DP!
I’m leavin’ on a jet plane. To Dallas. Again. Mwaa!
Safe travel EssBee!!
Morning Pan!
Today is the day I install Mass Effect 2. Hubby is out until late tonight. I wonder if I have the stamina to play straight through until about 7:30 tonight.
reaper: HDTV it teh bestest!
Bunny: I love HD but I would like more channels. I have the locals, Discovery types, Food, Basic Sports, PBS and a few others. but no SYFY no FX and a few others I would love. Now i just have to replace the hard drive on my tivo so I can hold more than 20 hours of shows.
After all that work IT and I did yesterday, my stupid work computer now won’t recognize my Wi-Fi. If I can’t connect to the internet, I can’t do my work.
…wait a minute… is that really a bad thing?
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.
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.
