after all that excitement I need to go to bed. No insomnia for me tonight.
God bless you benadryl
February 4th, 2010 at 12:09 am
I’m too sensitive. A half dose of benadryl and I can’t force myself to stay awake for nearly 36 hours.
But hooray for sleeping Hotties!
Why did it sound funny when I said that?
February 4th, 2010 at 12:10 am
No matter how much I think that it should work like this, it never does. I think that offensive words should be pounded into the common vernacular until they lose all meaning. We should all support the cleansing of these words by inserting them willy-nilly into our everyday conversations. If the whole world did this, they’d all lose any meaning, any negative connotation.
They’d be empty. The next gen would find it in a book and ask what it meant and nobody would remember.

(of course, in two hours time I will be home with a cup of coffee and wanting to watch some Torchwood.)
February 4th, 2010 at 3:35 am
Good morning, y’all!
February 4th, 2010 at 3:46 am
Fresh Pan on the Pod? Of course it’s a good mornin!
February 4th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Mmmm, Torchwood!
I haven’t even listened to last week’s episode yet (bad, bad, EssBee!). I have a long plane ride tomorrow, though, and will get caught up then.
I’m still reading The Gathering Storm, Ed, and loving it. I’m a little more than 1/2 way through and think Sanderson did a bang-up job. So far, I’d say it’s one of the better novels in the series. Another thing I’ll do on that plane ride to San Antonio tomorrow.
It’s 4:53 a.m. Do you know where your iPod is? Do you know where mine is? I’d sure hate to work out without it. Seriously, where the eff is it?!

Olympic hockey contest announcement!
Same stakes, slightly different rules. Choose your country. Whenever the the teams meet, the bet is on. This gives the possibility of everybody singing other anthems (possibly more than once).
I. of course, choose Canada.

Coming at number 9 on the Sun’s list of worst ever movies is Highlander 2. To which I have to ask, how is it possible to be worse than the original? I liked the series and was flabbergasted by the wretchedness of the movie. Even Connery was naff and, well, he’s Connery.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:57 am
Of COURSE you choose Canada… you win by default.
I guess its USA for me… tho Slovakia is tempting.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Nomad I couldnt have said it better myself. NEVER EVER got the love everyone gave the Highlander. Me hates it.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:58 am
ESSBEE IF YOU LOVE CANADA SO MUCH WHY DONT YOU MARRY IT?????!?!?!?! PPPPFFFTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Of course you can pick US, Lo Pan. Just be prepared to sing the Canadian national anthem after the third game
February 4th, 2010 at 7:18 am
Yeah I’m pretty sure the Canadian anthem will be sang regardless of. You have the fucking Yankees of the Olympic hockey teams. Its ridiculous.
Why are you speaking Martian?

We did pretty bad in the Turin Olympic. I don’t think we even made the medal round. We did win the Gold the time before.
Can you say, inconsistent?
February 4th, 2010 at 7:23 am
If I lose, maybe I’ll actually play the music as well as speak the words… maybe. We’ll see what kind of sound effects I can coax out of my keyboard.
February 4th, 2010 at 7:24 am
I can say incontinent.

February 4th, 2010 at 8:08 am

I know even less about the subject now.

Ok, really gone.
February 4th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Essbee: thanks for the Gathering Review… I’ll have to start reading my copy… after I finish reading A Princess of Roumania… *sigh*
NS: RE: Highlander – First off, the original movie had a lot of cheese, and there isn’t a fan out there who won’t give you that. At the same time, it was iconic, and simply had a solid story backing it. It was a fun flick, perhaps not “high cinema”, but good in the same way that Star Wars was good. That said, the first sequel went so far to ruining the reputation of the first, adding in a back story trying to explain the immortality aspects that the phrase “there should only have been one” came into being. IT WAS DREADFUL. {for the fans out there, you will note no mention of the planet Zeist in the above}
Jack Mangan: Is that anything like Galactica 1980? ‘Cause, that was 99% ass…
February 4th, 2010 at 10:35 am
I found some Jack Mangans on Facebook, but don’t think they are the Jack I’m looking for. Can you shoot me a link too Bunny?
February 4th, 2010 at 10:39 am
Lejon: Good in the same way Star Wars was good? Oh you betta splain that one.
February 4th, 2010 at 10:40 am
And hey, thanks for the influx of friend requests. I may be embracing my inner douchebag, but I’m not too good to send out requests of my own. If we ought to be connected, then I’ll find you at some point too.
February 4th, 2010 at 10:52 am
Mr. From Chandler (cuz that’s a funny sorta name (says the guy who calls hisself Scry)):
Admitedly, I only watched Highlander the once so my memory of story particulars is… bad, but what I do remember was that there was a good story -idea- but not a good story. In a movie, the acting tells a good chunk of the story and in Highlander, wow, Raiden from Mortal Kombat is probably a worse actor than me.
And I’m in no way implying that I can act.
I am implying that even if the script was had a good story, it never made it to the presentation.
I would have to see it at least a second time to decide if it was so bad that it was fun again. Like Flash Gordan or one of those MST3k flicks.

February 4th, 2010 at 11:06 am
Lo Pan: OK. Take a look at Star Wars. The original film, which later became episode 4: a new hope. Let go of that fannish tendency to forgive G. Lucas for everything.
Ok… No… A little more… THERE YA GO!
Alright, Star Wars did have a fantastic new look, but when you get down to the bones of it, it was an old adventure tale – the classic mono-myth, and it was poorly acted (Exceptions: Sir Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford – I would have include James Earl Jones, but he got no face time, and the guy in the Darth Suit did lousy pantomime).
There are so many hokey bits in this film that there are websites devoted to some of them (A Particular Pilot, Porkins, Plays in my brain). It wasn’t / ISN’T a good film. It’s a fun film. It was a game changing film. But good? Not especially. Iconic, memorable, quotable to be sure, but largely a good looking, great sounding overlay on a tried and true story.
Lucas could have had anyone play the parts, and the movie would probably done as well and been as memorable. I know, it’s hard to think of it that way, but I believe that to be true.
NOW, looking back at Highlander: it was fun in the same way that Star Wars was fun. Solid action story upon which a lot of bad acting got added. The fall-down portion of Highlander was that the special effects weren’t anywhere near the quality of Star Wars. It just didn’t look good. And, while the Queen Soundtrack is FUCKING AWESOME, the film had a lot of sound problems in the acted bits.
One thing I’ve learned listening to film makers – People will forgive a film that has poor lighting and poor effects as long as it sounds good. Highlander did not sound good.
However; the film has become a cult classic, spawned 4 (terrible) sequels, and a TV series (which I didn’t like, but Se la vie). On top of this, they’re remaking the original.
I cannot deny your dislike for the film. You either liked it or you didn’t. OK, you might have been Meh about it, too. But, as for it being fun in the same way as Star Wars was fun, I’m pretty sure I’m on firm footing there.
— I have to learn to be more concise. Sheesh I’m a wind bag —
February 4th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I would add Peter Cushing as well Lejon.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:15 am
Yeah, I’ll cast my vote way in favor of Highlander.
The police interrogation scene is one of the worst onscreen acting displays. . . . ever.
The entire movie is fantastic cheese.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:16 am
Ah see youre breaking it down utterly for me. Thats cool and I shant be long winded in my response.
1. Im hoping that “Let go of that fannish tendency to forgive G. Lucas for everything. ” was tongue in cheap because I dont suck the cock of Lucas.
2. Highlander = A mish mash of boring upon poor acting upon promising story that falls flat on its ass. When it takes a TV show to get the mythos right, thats a bad bad sign.
3. I dont think you can compare a “cult classic” to a phenomenon (which for better or worse SW is). It takes a GOOD movie to do that. Cult classics can indeed be terrible. Theyre of the love it or leave it variety. I dont believe you can say Star Wars is of that variety.
4. A good movie wont spawn all terrible sequels. Even Halloween 2 was good. The reason a film spawns all terrible sequels is because it has no firm ground to stand on to begin with. ITS A BAD FILM.
I cant abide by your comparison in “fun”. BUT thats what makes us dorques. Also I take back my “I wont be long winded” comment. Bleg.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:18 am
I’m just saying you cant compare a giant hunk of Gouda to shreaded Parmesian.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:19 am
ALSO IM RIGHT AND YOURE WRONG !!!!!!!
*throws chair and stomps away*
February 4th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Time to break out the rubber wall paper.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:33 am
think the term “good” is relative. For me a good film is a film that delivers on its premise. As an action-adventure flick, “A New Hope” delivered in spades. Consider the movie that won best picture the year Star Wars was released, “Annie Hall.“ Are people still quoting “Annie Hall,” were other movies inspired by “Annie Hall.” In terms of the amount of enthusiasm “A New Hope” generated “Annie Hall” was a flop by comparison, even though it was better acted and a more serious film.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:41 am

Actually I think now we’re getting the terms “good” and “fun” mixed up. They isnt interchangeable.
February 4th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Listen, we can discuss healthcare, classism, gay rights, religion, etc.; but I think we should lay off Highlander. That’s just too sensitive a subject.

Jacks right everyone. Ive learned something today…

There seem to be a few constants for beloved cult classics like Highlander, The Crow, Beastmaster, Hellraiser, Ghostbusters, etc. They’re:
-Chock full of hokey elements, like bad effects, acting, plotholes. . .
-Followed by way too many terrible sequels.
-and guaranteed to have Lance Henrikson, Brian James, Tim Thomerson, Mark Hamill, Marc Singer, Eric Roberts, or Ernie Hudson playing some role.
(And let’s not diss the original Star Wars too much – - That was my childhood. I have something SW-related written for the MMMmmmeetup recording.)
February 4th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
I think the original Star Wars is safe here, Jack. It was most our childhoods. Pretty sure this is a Star Wars dis-free zone but I could be wrong.
February 4th, 2010 at 12:08 pm
SO does that make The Exorcist a quintessential cult fulm due to terrible sequels AND prequels while starring Linda Blair? Who as we all know is the female Mark Hamil.

Hey, old theme loads on my iPhone! Sweet.
Re:SW. Couldn’t stand Hamill then and I have never seen or heard him do anything that I didn’t find myself wishing someone else had done instead.
But, Lejon, you said something interesting that perhaps you might want to expound on. That bit about the sound sounded interesting and yet I’ve not heard of it before. Maybe a future TTM?
February 4th, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Interestingly, Star Wars and Blade Runner both got director cut’s and created fanboy scorn.

justa J0e: I do like to paint with fairly broad strokes (and firm ones, too!). As I see it, policy requires large strokes by definition. And not much emotion.
I think the problem with your statement is the Hippocratic Oath in itself. Read the original. All these commitments to gods. It’s an outdated oath, from back in the days when there was never a concern of limited resources.
This reminds me of the Buddhists way back when. They believed that the Universe would provide, and that they could help those who needed it, and there would be this blissful harmony to the whole thing. They began to change their ways and viewpoints when they began starving because so many people came to them for a handout rather than do things on their own.
We are animals living on a hostile planet, in a hostile universe. We should not allow those that refuse to simply cross the street to bring down the overall strength of the Herd.

I was going to stay out of this, but…
JN: You may be oversimplifying things, but that isn’t the problem. Rather, the largest problem with your stance is who decides? Who is the moral arbiter? Who picks which group is worthy and which is not? Right now it is corporations. Many people, myself included, argue that they aren’t doing a good job.
I won’t say you are wrong, because you aren’t. There are always people that abuse systems. It’s why in criminal court we have trials with a jury of peers, and it’s why the Founding Fathers tried to put checks and balances on the different branches. Those examples are far from perfect, but they are better than the alternatives.
Discrimination is not a dirty word. It is a necessary component of judgment. However, when discrimination is abused we end up with vile if not evil practices. History has proven this time and again.
Why not shoot those “those that refuse”? Put them out of their misery? Actively prevent them from being a burden? Or, you can deny them insurance. But, that ends up creating another enormous mess. Homelessness. Poverty. Crime. These are things that we we have to pay for as well. It shows up in larger police forces, welfare, insurance, etc.
It’s easy to say that some group is undeserving. And, without doubt, some are. But finger pointing has a nasty habit of backfiring. It would be *easy* to find a lifestyle habit for anyone that could be used against them, without resorting to the big-bad-gun of genetic predisposition. Forcing everyone to have insurance avoids this issue, but at the expense of others. There is no perfect system.
I find it amusing that people balk at “government interference” when it comes to health care, but seem to be blind at that massive amount of corporate interference that they are already subjected to when they visit a doctor.
I’d just like to see a better health care system than what is currently here.

February 4th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Lo Pan: Just for the record, I’m a Djörk.
Rhettro: You have a point. “Good” is subjective. Let’s move away from the subjective term. “Well constructed” is better for this discussion.
Star Wars is definitely put together well. It followed a standard well-worn formula, had impressive visuals and meticulously constructed effects (won oscars for them), and the audio was top-notch. It certainly has been the most successful independant or “b” movie I’ve ever seen.
Highlander, conversely, was not put together right. Starting with the Pro-Wrestling bout at the beginning, adding in the audio issues, and the really cheesy Quickening effects at the end… this film should have flopped, and flopped hard. Instead, the film was embraced by many, and the mythos kept alive In Spite Of bad sequels. It may not reach as broad an audience as Star Wars has, but it’s no failure. Still, not really well constructed. I think the true saving graces are the strength of the Immortal concept of the story tied with the music.
Of course, now I have to figure out a well-constructed failure… Just for contrast.
NS: Have you heard Hamil do the Joker on the Animated Batman stuff? ‘Cause that’s Frikken Brilliunt!
– I’ll have to consider the bit about the sound. I got it from an independant “no-budget” film-maker at a convention. The thought actually does hold up. If you are watching the best story you’ve ever seen, but you can’t hear the actors, or the soundtrack really blows, you’ll be pulled out of the experience. I hear an example of this is Labyrinth, which had both an orchestral soundtrack, and something done by Tangerine Dream. The different versions were released exclusively in the U.S. (Tangerine Dream) and Europe (Orchestral)… I also hear it’s really hard to watch one version over the other… Of course, I can’t confirm this, since I’ve only seen the Tangerine Dream cut.
Let’s don’t talk about Blade Runner. The film was ahead of its time. And, while I believe the Director’s FINAL version from the Ultimate edition is superior, I also feel that most average people just won’t understand it without watching the original theatrical release with the terrible narration. That is my opinion.
jackmangan: Immortality is actually the best coverage, but the Plan had a loop-hole. Decapitations weren’t covered.

A beta version of Audacity had a simple “Export” option under the file menu. When you use this, a dialog opens with a lot of buttons, none of which are helpful, except “OK”.
At that point you are given a traditional save window, under which you can select the type of file you wish to save as. saving as MP3 will activate the “options” button. You can update your mp3 settings by clicking that.
February 4th, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Van:
Click ‘Export’ under the ‘File’ dropdown menu in Audashitty. You should see options to export as .wav or .mp3.

Dammit Bunny you know thats not what I’m saying. I’m saying in that specific instance. The almost exact same cover was run back in 1992 – of a male skier in the same position – and there was no hubub there. Not everything female has to come off sexualized. Specially this.

Dammit reaper thats brilliant….
February 5th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I don’t see what is sexy about that pic. the clothing has to be forming fitting. should she be dressed like Ralphy’s brother from a Christmas story?
hehe I can’t put my ski poles down! hehe
February 5th, 2010 at 7:44 am
Theres nothing sexy about it. thats the point. If she was dressed in Victoria Secret thatd be different…. I swear people just want stuff to bitch about nowadays.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:52 am
Another band name that should be “Longmont Soccer Mom Bang”.
But I fear only EssBee would understand….
February 5th, 2010 at 7:56 am
It doesn’t have to be form fitting.
February 5th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Van, I thought it did for wind resistance but I’m not a skier.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:02 am
I thought it did also too as well.
From 1992. http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ak1ZM2qVwh7f82EXNcIuFdJotLV_/SIG=129s0q1s6/**http%3A//sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/featured/9313/index.htm

drat foiled in phase 2 also.
No one was in the lunch room when I clean out my tea mug.
crap this isn’t going well
February 5th, 2010 at 8:03 am
I do think that the picture is sexualized, but I don’t really see anything wrong with it. What percentage of Si’s readership is male? What percentage of men appearing on the front page of Redbook are sexualized? I guess my point would be that humans are sexual creatures and there is no point in denying that fact. The goal would be to not let sexuallity blind us from seeing the true people for who they are.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:06 am
Again! From 1992 – Male skiier in super similar pose
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/cover/featured/9313/index.htm
Is that sexualized? I get what youre saying Rhett but wtf were they supposed to do? Have her just stand there looking dumb? they do that and they get blasted for her “not being in action pose”. I dont buy it. But I do see what youre saying.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:15 am
I don’t think the man skier shot is sexualized because he is wearing helmet. But I honestly think that whenever an athlete is photographed, male or female, there is going to be an aura of sexuality associated with it. That doesn’t make it bad.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:21 am
I’d argue that theyre showing her face because the title of the article is “Meet the US Ski Team”.
LOOK I’M JUST TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT I’M SECRETLY MASTURBATING TO THE PICTURE OK?!?!? ALRIGHT?!?!?!? HAPPY NOW?!?!?!? THERE I SAID IT!!!
*sobs*
February 5th, 2010 at 8:22 am
I think the problem comes in when someone with to much time on there hands and to much anger built up but has no other outlet for it.

I find Bunny’s woman chess player pictures pretty amusing and here’s why. One of the chess coaches at my son’s chess club is a buxom 23 year old. She’s is actually the best chess player there and I believe she is the highest rated chess player in the state of Arizona. So anyway, when we were at the chess tournament at Las Vegas, she wore the skimpiest outfit. LOL I think she meant to distract her opponents.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:34 am
reaper: let it out of you, young man. let it free…
rhett: i know right! i mean i found it amusing for different reasons but your story makes me laugh and next time you should probably get photos.
February 5th, 2010 at 8:48 am
So now I know if Lo Pan is coming over I’ll have to make sure to put away the coffee table magazines like Everyday with Rachel Ray, O, and Martha Stewart Living… and maybe lock the bathroom door…
February 5th, 2010 at 8:57 am
I meant it doesn’t have to be form fitting to be ’sexy’.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Oh! Agreed Van.

Rachel Ray is teh_hots

Are we forgetting Rachel Ray’s NQSFW photo shoot for. . . uh. . . either Maxim or FHM?
February 5th, 2010 at 9:11 am
Jack, never! :D
February 5th, 2010 at 9:12 am
No way… I was serious when I said shes hot. That photoshoot gave me minutes of fun…
February 5th, 2010 at 9:13 am
btw it was FHM
February 5th, 2010 at 9:15 am
reaper how the hell can you post and watch Lost at same time? That would break my mind.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:17 am
Lo Pan, 2 monitors. one 24″ wide screen for the show and a 17″ for everything else
February 5th, 2010 at 9:30 am
but can you concentrate enough on Lost? it takes all I got just to watch it by itself.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:31 am
I will have to watch again. there is a bit to much to pick up one time around.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I also finally caught the full season 6 premiere last night, btw. Lost is the only TV show I’ve ever stuck with, since the age of 12. (BSG doesn’t count.)
February 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
yes indeed. initial non-spoiler thoughts?
February 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
non-spoiler thoughts Jack?

CP: 2:1 — Elastica
February 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
with 2 minutes left in the first epp. I have have to say interesting changes and not changes with the jumping back and forth. I’m going to watch 2 before rewatching 1. my coworker said more will happen. I’m not sure i will make it all the way through though
February 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Elastica? Speaking of girls I wanna bang….
February 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
oh you didnt watch the whole 2 hours? gotcha. yes watch the whole first before you go back again.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I was shocked to learn that Sawyer was actually a lizard assassin from the planet Ziblox.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
Lo Pan: Yep.
Jack: I knew that! :)
February 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
I don’t think ABC make it very apparent that it was a 2 epp premier. I’m glad I watch the recap also. it has been so long since the last season and so much was going on I forgot a lot of stuff.
February 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
damn it jack! i thought he was just going to be a V!
February 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I’m sure Lo Pan would approve:

Hour two is definitely the WTF hour of the premier. Good stuff.

Some non-spoiler impressions of Lost finale season. Some questions answered with an equal portion of new questions asked. I’m looking forward to when the revelations to new questions ratio starts to favor the revelations side. All in all, I love Lost and I found the season opener satisfying if a little mired in old tricks.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:07 am
are there any more lost watchers who haven’t see it yet? I’m down to 10 minutes left so i’ll finish it now
February 5th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Damn sunbeam is in the wrong spot. Kitty’s blocking my cupboard so I can’t get at my bowls to make cookies.
I guess it’ll have to wait until after lunch and the sunbeam moves.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:09 am
Is it a spoiler to mention the other other Others?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
I gave up on Lost in season 3. Got tired of waiting for answers. I might eventually watch the rest of the series on DVD, but I’m in no hurry.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
I’ve come to learn that Lost watchers can sometimes annoy the rest of the populace, so as the season progresses, it may be necessary for us to discuss on a different thread.
On a side note:
February 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Rhett: Probably….
For those who wanna talk about it we could probably get a gmail conversation going as to not spoil for the rest.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Rhettro, I don’t think so after watching the recap. I was thinking there would have to be other others.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:17 am
HOLY SHIT!! A real reason to use Google wave!!!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:17 am
Fuckin ay, reaper!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:18 am
No, feel free to discuss Lost here. It won’t bother me.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:18 am
I love it when people spell my last name Murdoch. :)
February 5th, 2010 at 10:18 am
So I’ve never watched ‘Lost’. Am I missing anything?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
What WILL bother you ditto? Ill do that instead!!! ;P
J D Murdoch! How you are?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Up to you. DO you like mind breaking TV?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
I thought the reason to use Google Wave was to play DnD.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:21 am
Lost kicks ass as long as you do like things that break your mind
February 5th, 2010 at 10:22 am
Mr. Murdock,
I would say Lost is awesome to watch on DVD and flustrating on broadcast.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:22 am
The problem with Lost, to truly enjoy it, you have to watch from episode 1.
BTW: The girl I asked out for pizza in the 5th grade is talking to me on FB.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Is it just me, or has it gotten busier in here ever since Jack joined FaceBook?
February 5th, 2010 at 10:23 am
lol, oh Jack… youve truly found out what it means, to be human…
Also agreed on Lost. Granted, season four was pretty shit. But It made up for it with Season 5 and now.l
February 5th, 2010 at 10:24 am
I’m doing AWESOME! Had fun making Jack a promo :)
I guess I’ll have to start watching Lost and see if I can get caught up. Next people will tell me I should be watching 24.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:26 am
I will never tell you you HAVE to watch 24.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:26 am
Rhettro, I have to agree. I started when it was on in 4 hour blocks on SiFi and it was awesome. I cough up in the middle of season 5 and it was very frustrating not to see them rapid fire.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:27 am
Oh, I finally figured out how to get http://jrmurdock.com to link to my wordpress page. WOO WOO!
Now just to convince people it’s spelled with a K and not an H :)
February 5th, 2010 at 10:28 am
I watched the first 3 epps of 24 years back and decided to stop because I didn’t want to be a slave to a night of TV so I stopped. I might check it out on DVD now.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Speaking of too popular, I won’t be starting Lost. Not for ‘least another 10 years.
And I just finished watching season one of Torchwood. Pretty decent, though I have to say the guy who plays Ianto certainly grows into the role. He’s stiff and, well, stiff here but by Children of Earth he is quite emotively stiff.
Night
February 5th, 2010 at 10:32 am
I had the benefit of watching the the first two seasons on DVD and the curse of watching the last three seasons from my DVR. I would say the last half of the season season and the first half of the third season were to slow. But everything outside of that has been pretty entertaining.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:32 am

No JR, San Diego is within driving distance. You need to be here in person ;)
I’ll fix the post here.
February 5th, 2010 at 10:43 am
I second that!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:44 am
You know, I was in Peoria last year. I was probably within spitting distance of you. Alas, I was a slave to the family schedule.
But yes, one day I MUST make it to AZ to meet you in person. OR You can come here for Comicon and we’ll meet up then. :)

We’re planning out next family trip. It looks like CO, AZ, or Vegas. We haven’t decided yet. But I do plan on going to meet up with all the AZ podcasters if it’s AZ. That’s for sure!
February 5th, 2010 at 10:56 am
No one can resist the *jazz hands*. I have a warm feeling now. Hmm… no, that’s not the jazz hands. Wait, what’s that smell? NO! NOT AGAIN! BRB!

February 5th, 2010 at 11:13 am
I’m all washed up now. Guess I don’t need a room any more. Though I think it was the ice cream that made my hands sticky. perhaps I should just shower and get it done with.

ditto: I really agree with what you’re saying. Perhaps I came into the discussion at the wrong time. I am not, by any means, saying I have the slightest clue how to fix the health care issue. I was merely bitching and belly-aching. I’m reasonably bright, but I know probably 5% of what I would need to know to attempt to create a “fix”. There’s no doubt the system is t3h suxozrz. But I am also not afraid to announce I’m far too much of a dumbass to figure it out.
I’m just being hateful and grumpy.

ditto: Tomorrow I’m making my traditional Super Bowl Favorite Wings (a.k.a “Stinky Wings” because the recipe calls for garlic powder and soy sauce) and watching the game at home.
February 6th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
So I suppose if you used garlic salt instead of powder, they’d be “Underworld Stinky Wings”?
February 6th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
LOL!!! They would! :-D I think I might use my Underworld Garlic Salt tomorrow! :-D
February 6th, 2010 at 2:26 pm
RE: Superbowl: I’m here in S.A. with a bunch of New Orleanians, so I’ll be either avoiding the group, or hollering Who Dat?! in a pimp suite at the Marriott River Center.
February 6th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
I motion that “who dat” is stricken from the English language entirely.
February 6th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Don’t be a hater, Lo.
February 6th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
@Amy A comicon meet up! WOO WOO! Sounds like a plan! :)
As for the superbowl, my father-in-law always makes Carnitas. This year, I get to help! Oh yeah! Pork cooked in lard. yum yummy yum!
As for the deadpan meet-up, sadly it’s not in the budget for this year :( Durn it!
February 6th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
Amy, IT is fun most of the time. I love working for smaller places and getting to know everyone. at my current job I know and get to work with so many people (about 175) even though some of them work 20ft part they don’t know each other. At my new place I think there are about 75. I still get to be a jack of all trades which is the other thing I like about small places.
February 6th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
reaper: Thanks for your thoughts. Sounds good.
Everyone: I know that I, Ryah, Ed, and at least 2 other out-of-towners are coming to Phoenix for the Deadpan MMMMMeetup, but I don’t know who they are. Who else is confirmed to be coming from out of town?
February 6th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
Amy:Me.
EssBee I aint no hater. Unless it comes to “Who dat?” Den I Hate Dat.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
While “Who Dat?” is a sign of the end of Western Civ, I think we need video of EssBee in said pimp suit, shouting “Who Dat?”
February 6th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
And oh yeah – Happy Birthday, Wander Wolf according to Skype!
February 6th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Hey, wait a minute….Amy is going to make it to the meetup? Sweet!
February 6th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
Today is one of those days when life is so beautiful and precious it makes me want to sing songs and cry, and I feel like I can do anything. So far I’ve been to a class, made progress that I’m proud of on one of my novels, and finished a lesson for said class. Now I’m going to write more, than do some reading I’ve been meaning to do. Today is made of WIN.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Stupid boneshard skeletons. Creatures shouldn’t enplode when you bloody them.
February 6th, 2010 at 6:54 pm
If EssBee does that, can we talk me into dressing up in hooker get up and shout “Who Dey?” Wait, you just did.
I was really pulling for the Saints until “Who Dat” became all the rage. Much as I hate the Mannings…
February 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Waz dat?????
February 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Where dat??????
February 6th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
Mi llamo Lo Pan.Y tu dat??????
February 6th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I’m rooting for a tie this year. Just screw the whole thing up. I’m hoping ‘The Who’ will make up for it. The Saints are gonna get their asses handed to them I think.
February 6th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
Amy: Glad you had such a terrific day!
Long Pan: I don’t like the “who dat” thang either.. er I mean, thing.
EssBee video … that’d be like buttah.
February 6th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Oh JR…. this aint da BCS….. *urp*
February 6th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
You’ve gotta know that Who Dat?! has been the Saints battle cry forevah. It ain’t new, yo.
I know that because I spend a lot of time in New Orleans, not because I care AT ALL about football. Just to be clear.
Lo Pan, I’d be your pimp any day.
As for the video: I’ll do my best. At least I can shoot for a voicemail call.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Oh, and we just saw Chris Daughtry eating at Casa Rio. Some of us were more excited than others of us.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:15 pm
I dont condone violence… but if I saw Daughtry….
EssBee, yes the Who Dat has been around since 1980. Its just being a little overused. But I suppose them be excited. Its when I hear non-Saints fans saying it just to saw it, well, it makes me wanna punch Daughtry.
February 6th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
OH! Also… EssBee: Corner of COlfax and Grant is where I get the best “clients”. Ill cutchoo in
February 6th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Ed: Yes, I am coming to the meetup! Arrangements are in progress.
Cj: Thanks! :-)
February 6th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
Lo Pan, you working a side gig at Saturday’s too?
February 6th, 2010 at 8:39 pm
No, JB. Cheerleaders. Then Shotgun Willy’s.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:01 am
[late nite drunken dorque rant] Finally finished all 10 seasons of SG-1. Super depressing they canceled that show. IMO it was just as good as when it started. Yeah I know we get some movies but it aint the same. Damn shame. Good good stuff. Suppose Ill start Farscape now. This is good tho. I needed a great Sci-Fi show to dig on since the last 30 min of BSG nearly ruined the whole show for me. That was so fuckin bad. It may be sacrilege, but if I had to choose between only watching BSG or SG-1… I’m taking SG-1. Peabody notwithstanding [/late nite drunken dorque rant]
February 7th, 2010 at 12:21 am
BSG betrayed us all, Lo Pan.
February 7th, 2010 at 12:24 am

[still up] The new Electric Six album is really disappointing. This saddens me to no end.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:08 am
Isnt Van up this time of nite/day? VAN WHERE Y’ARE????
February 7th, 2010 at 1:17 am
Im seriously angry at how bad this Electric Six album is. I feel like most people felt after The Phantom Menace.
February 7th, 2010 at 1:24 am
VAAAAAAAANN?!?!?!!! *sigh*
February 7th, 2010 at 1:31 am
Ok the album is picking up much more these last few songs. Odd that the best are last
February 7th, 2010 at 1:37 am
Morning Pan, Happy Birthday Wander Wolf.
Breakfast calls..
February 7th, 2010 at 1:46 am
Oh Oh I see how you are….
February 7th, 2010 at 1:57 am
3am and all is well.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:08 am
As I watch my oh so slow podcast downloads over a 10meg connection in iTunes, I can’t help feeling the apple software is a pile of shit.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Good morning! Happy Birthday, Wolfie.
I hear dat, Lo. Douchebags abound. I say: Do not adopt dat saying unless you are a Saints fan, dummy.
After zero sleep Friday night, I got 7 hours last night. These meetings are so roller-coastery.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:24 am
It must be Sunday. The boy is wailing like a stepped on cat/whoopee cushion in his room. AAAArgh.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:35 am
Are the Saints football? Or a rap group?
February 7th, 2010 at 5:32 am
Is there something happening today?
February 7th, 2010 at 6:18 am
I left my iPod in our meeting room overnight. That sucka is GONE. Long gone. Damn . . .
February 7th, 2010 at 6:48 am
It’s 7:30 in the morning. Why is nobody else in the house awake? Actually, the better question is, why am I awake?
February 7th, 2010 at 6:52 am
Happy birthday wolf! May you get all the skritches you want in all the right places.
February 7th, 2010 at 7:02 am
In sports news, the Flames lost again. I guess it could be worse. I could live in Edmonton.
February 7th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Sounds like hubby is stirring. I guess maybe it’s time to get off the couch and put some clothes on. Then I think I’ll spend the day being Effected by the Masses.
February 7th, 2010 at 8:24 am
Happy birthday Wander!
EssBee: That sucks.
February 7th, 2010 at 8:37 am
Dammit EssBee, that blows. Sorry to hear that. I know how that feels.
Ill sixth the Happy Bday, Wander! 28 is an awesome age.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:16 am
Had a dream about ‘Kite Origami’. One person controlling dozens of kites to make amazing shapes in the sky. I need to put this into a story. It was SO vivid!
February 7th, 2010 at 10:24 am

February 7th, 2010 at 10:26 am

Happy Birthday Wolfie.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:38 am
Vanamonde: Well, I think it speaks better for you than in my case. I had a ton of people from High School friend me on Facebook. They would friend me, and never, ever post anything other than playing those stupid games. And I really didn’t like any of the people, anyhow. Yet another reason to have a pseudonym.
Never watched rugby. I’d like to give it a whirl.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:40 am
Lo Pan: I agree re: “who dat”.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:41 am
Happy Birthday, WNDRWolf.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:43 am
I’d love to switch to IT. Where’s that damned magic wand?
February 7th, 2010 at 10:49 am
Sake procured, but I’m holding off drinking it. Martinis on an empty stomach last night, post-roller-derby, has left me less enamored with alcohol today.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:59 am
So Null’s headache today is either from the martinis or the giant roller derby Amazon on wheels.
February 7th, 2010 at 11:59 am

EssBee: That’s wonderful news!
The Underworld Stinky Wings are in the oven. I used up the last of my container of Underworld Garlic Salt on them, plus some garlic powder so that all the wings would be covered. The whole house smells like garlic, pepper, soy sauce, and carmelized sugar (the smell is much nicer than it sounds, IMHO, but I know not everyone likes it).
February 7th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
OK, finally finished painting “Who Dat?” on my chest in big gold letters….
February 7th, 2010 at 2:41 pm
So, how do you say “Happy Birthday” in wolftongue anyway?
February 7th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Happy birthday Dan!
February 7th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
Off to make dinner.
February 7th, 2010 at 3:05 pm

February 7th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
FB is acting really goofy. My updates are disappearing.
Anyway, so far, I enjoyed the remake of “Nothing but Net” from McDonalds, the VW and Denny’s commercials. Google’s was excellent. Most of the other commercials are pretty meh.
And The Who was pretty depressing.
February 7th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
Well, that was quite a game.
February 7th, 2010 at 7:04 pm
I rather enjoyed it. :)
February 7th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
I enjoyed the game, but I enjoyed the carnitas FAR more. My father-in-law RAWKS! :)
February 7th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
They catered fudz in for us, but my dinnertime/lunchtime is so late, it was all gones by the time I was hungry.
Oh wellz.
February 7th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
Anyone else catch the shameful re-edit of The Who’s “My Generation” lyrics in an ad before halftime?
“Hope I don’t die,/b>, before I get old”.
*sigh*
February 7th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
freak’n missing tag bit
“Hope I don’t die, before I get old”.
February 7th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Bingo!
February 7th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
While I’m grousing …
the commercials were rather lame as a whole.
I’m all for sexy … but Go Daddy is neither sexy or amusing. They are just tacky and lame. I’ve seen “After School Specials” that were hotter and more entertaining.
I know that their spots are aimed at 12 to 25 year old geeks who spend their lives on the internet and have never actually had face to face conversations with a live women … but if they want to achieve “sexy” they are going to have to get someone OUTSIDE that demographic to actually write their spots.
… and speaking of not getting it.
I think the “Car Max” spots were written by old add execs who have in fact never been on the internet but whose elderly parents assure them that this “new” dramatic animals thing is what all the hip kids on the interwebs are “My Face”, Chirping about or something.
That stuff was only mildly amusing when it came out … a half decade ago!
bah
Seems like the Denny’s spot was amusing. Other than that, everyone else wasted their money. IMHO
February 7th, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Oh, I did find the “Nothing but Net” from McDonalds ad amusing but 2 youngsters in the room with me said “who was that?” … “I don’t know”
So they may have missed THEIR demographic.
I barely remember the google ad. Might have been better if I had been close enough to read what was being typed.
Other than that … it was an Ad Age Waste Land.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:08 pm
I did not see the Tim Tebow ad that sparked all of the controversy. Otherwise, I agree. Good game, no interesting commercials.
The best one was for the gorgeous video game, which would have been perfect if they’d featured Slayer behind the “Hell Awaits” onscreen text.
February 7th, 2010 at 10:26 pm
There was some commercial that made the sales floor laugh, but I could not see the TV and I was on a call.
We cheered for the GoDaddy commercials.
But… well… you know.
February 8th, 2010 at 2:29 am

We missed about the first 30 minutes of the game (didn’t pay enough attention to look up when kickoff was).
I hope we missed all the really good ads. I gotta agree with JJ, most of them were pretty “meh”.
But, the game was certainly worth watching.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:22 am
I saw the Tim Tebow ad.
It’s Monday?! Eek! Today is a big day at this meeting for me. I have 150 of my closest friends showing up at 6 p.m. (after a day of training) for a reception.
Also, I put myself into the overflow hotel for this weekend, and now must pack up and move to the main hotel.
Yay! . . . ?
Really, I am just happy to be employed.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:01 am
Right, I’m in big kid sort of mood today, off to see Astro Boy at the flicks.

February 8th, 2010 at 5:33 am
My favorite commercial was early in the game. The doritos commercial where the dog puts the ‘bark shock’ collar on his owner. :)
February 8th, 2010 at 5:37 am
Morning
I think I only laughed twice at the SB Ads. The Brett Favre and Doritos dog shock collar where kinda funny. I was glad to see a trailer for the new Alice in Wonderland. It is the first movie I’m going to see in the theaters since Lord of the Rings
February 8th, 2010 at 5:45 am
Does anyone else play “Words with Friends” on their iPhone?
February 8th, 2010 at 6:08 am
I thought the Betty White commercial was pretty funny too – Snickers?
February 8th, 2010 at 6:12 am
EssBee, You are correct and I forgot about that one. It was pretty good.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:21 am
Holy Cow! I don’t access i-Tunes for the weekend and everybody posts. hmmmm, what to listen to first…
February 8th, 2010 at 6:34 am
Betty White ??? Shock Collar ???
I must have missed some spots early on.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.
For my birthday my wife found our bedroom.
Do I share a birthday with DanS?? Really – Cool I knew I liked him for some reason…
February 8th, 2010 at 6:43 am
TMI, Wolf, but good for you!
February 8th, 2010 at 6:49 am
Late for the Super Bowl talk -
Teebow ad was stupid in many ways, but to their “credit” they basically only said “Hey we exist Go to our website to find out more!”. To which the bar I was in promptly booed and hissed. Good stuff.
Game was probably the best one I’ve seen since Patriots/Rams. Saints D impressed th hell out of me and I cant tell you how awesome it is that Drew Brees basically got run out of San Diego in favor of golden boy Phil Rivers and now has Super Bowl ring. Thats wonderful… “Who Dat?” notwithstanding.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:03 am
Actually I really was saying “Who Dat” during the halftime show. Ugh…. how bad was that?
February 8th, 2010 at 7:09 am
Haha!!
I was in the pimp suite, listen to the New Orleans holla. It was fun. I didn’t record anything, though.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:11 am
You still in San Antone, EssBee? f so youre gonna have goodtime snow fun when you get back.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:16 am
Hey Lo. Yep, I’m in S.A. thru Thursday. My girl just texted me saying:
It’s snowing like a MFer.
It’s 60 here. :)
February 8th, 2010 at 7:20 am
I find it ridiculous that people would be offended by the Tebow ad and not be upset with Betty White and some old guy getting sacked in the Snickers commercial.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:22 am
I wasn’t impressed with the movie and game ad. I didn’t see anything that really caught my interest. But, I was really pleased the Saints got their first Super Bowl.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:24 am
EssBee: Send some of the warm weather this way!
February 8th, 2010 at 7:31 am
Ugh. Mondays. I need more coffee.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:33 am
ditto, I think that’s a great point.
The Tebow ad bothered me only because of the FotF angle. That organization has worked pretty hard to make my life miserable, and in a very personal way as my brother is a member (he’s also a Promise Keeper). Also, every time I go to visit my parents, I have to drive by their ENORMOUS highway sign. I was once flipping the bird in the general direction of the sign, which is my normal practice, and passed a state patrol and got pulled over!!
I thought the mom/son part of the commercial was kinda cute (though a big guy shouldn’t plow over his little mama).
February 8th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Why the fuck did you get pulled over for flipping the bird? Was that off I-25?
February 8th, 2010 at 7:40 am
Yeah! The cop thought I was flipping HIM the bird! I explained I was just waving to the sign . . . no ticket.
One more thing about the Tebow ad: I was also pissed that CBS chose to show that, but not the one for the gay dating service.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:42 am
EssBee: I totally agree about the FotF angle.
And what was up with the No Pants commercials? *shudder*
IMO, the most annoying thing was how out of touch the NFL has gotten with their audience. The Geriatrics–*ahem* The Who–performing the half-time show?! This was in marked contrast to the audience targeting done by the advertisers. The ad companies were smart enough to realize that many in the audience will get the implied jokes by using drama chipmunk and other memes in commercials. Even the NFL Draft commercials used modern music; The Arcade Fire was donating all the proceeds from the commercials to Haiti relief work.
It was a very sad half-time show and the NFL should be given a lot of grief for it.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:44 am
I didnt even realize there was going to be a gay dating service commercial. Yeah thats fucked up.
ditto, excellent point about the music.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:47 am
The other thing that got a HUGE WTF laugh in my women’s-only party was the DOVE for men commercial. One of my co-workers said: my husband would wear pink panties before he used that soap.

February 8th, 2010 at 7:56 am
anyone who has the money should be able to put their ad on. as long as it isn’t obscene or breaks a few other rules that are escaping my now.
I believe in company rights not to do something they don’t want but I also believe in free speech and I think free speech is more important here.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:56 am
ditto! Done and done! Two great tastes that my or may not taste great together. We’ll see. Loved the Biggie / Gnarles Barkley mash a few years back.

Neil Peart’s version of The Other Canadian National Anthem. That’s right: the theme to Hockey Night in Canada. :)

February 8th, 2010 at 8:03 am
Lo Pan, very true. I never saw the right to not be offended in the constitution. If i don’t want to see an add I’ll just pause and wait you just go get a snack.
I just realized I can spell constitution correctly but words like obscene took me 2 minutes to get close enough that a spell checker could figure out what i was trying to say. weird.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:06 am
why the hell did “or” get auto corrected to “you”. I think I need to get rid of that program or learn to type better
February 8th, 2010 at 8:08 am
Yes or do, reaper.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:11 am
ditto, you’re info is actually a little off. CBC lost the rights to the Hockey Night in Canada theme and it was subsequently purchased by TSN.
The new Hockey Night in Canada Theme http://www.straight.com/node/165952
February 8th, 2010 at 8:11 am
I think Lo wins.
I actual did LOL and than got some funny looks…
February 8th, 2010 at 8:13 am
reaper: I agree, but to play devil’s advocate for a moment… we are talking about a TV network. I don’t think the constitution applies. They are allowed to air what they want, when they want.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:14 am
Thats cause ya cant have “LOL” without “LO”
*does the Charleston*
February 8th, 2010 at 8:17 am
TEB: I don’t think I said anything about the CBC in my comment. :)
That old theme song is still near and dear to my heart. There was a hilarious Molson commercial back in the ’90s that played off the fact that everyone knew that song by heart.
Anyway, I knew about the new version. In fact, a friend of mine submitted a version when CBC held the anthem competition.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:20 am
dotto, you’re correct, you didn’t actually say CBC, I just automatically think CBC when thinking about Hockey Night in Canada. TSN still has an American feel/sound even though it’s TSN Canada.
My apologies for jumping to conclusions.

Brees didn’t really get ‘run out’ of San Diego. He sorta had a dislocated shoulder and that’s normally a career ending injury for a QB. I was glad to see him come back and succeed in his first superbowl.
As for the Chargers, I’m a fan of the game and what they did (partying at a strip club the night before the Jets game) is terrible disappointing.
I just realized I missed WNDR’s B-day. And yes. TMI. LOL. Hope it was good :)
I also realized that I had my wrong URL listed all this time. I’ve got that changed now that I’ve gotten jrmurdock.com registered WOO WOO!
February 8th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Did I forget to mention that I am in the middle of finishing a move???
Damn I thought you knew… so sorry – My wife stored boxes and now the bedroom is clear of packed materials.

“stored boxes”
“packed materials”
February 8th, 2010 at 9:03 am

@Lo, the chargers just needed room on the Roster after the Ryan Leaf debacle. I wonder where he is now? Hmmm… no, on second thought…
February 8th, 2010 at 11:59 am
LOL! No second thoughts, JR…
On November 5, 2008, Leaf was put on indefinite leave from his coaching position at West Texas A&M for allegedly asking one of his players for a pill to help him deal with pain in his wrist dating to his NFL playing days, according to ESPN’s Joe Schad.[40] On November 6, 2008, he resigned from his position at West Texas. West Texas finished 11-2 and quarterback Keith Null was selected in the 6th round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
On May 21, 2009, Leaf was indicted on burglary and controlled substance charges in Texas. Leaf was reportedly undergoing drug rehab in British Columbia, Canada at the time of the indictment.[41] Ryan posted a $45,000 bond Wednesday June 17, 2009 in Washington for drug and burglary charges out of Texas, after being arrested by customs agents as he returned to the United States from Canada.

It’d be nice if SOMEONE took Father’s right in mind and do SOMETHING! The courts just want to leave it alone and ‘hope’ the right thing will happen on its own. In the mean time you’re missing out on your kids childhood. That sucks so much. And if you go get your kid back…YOU’RE the kidnapper and you know, cuz you’re a man, the law will be all over your ass.

NS: RE: Sound bit – With the foreign films – You still listen to them, even if you aren’t understanding the words. Emotion is conveyed and so on… Now, if they’re voices were staticy, or the volume dropped in odd places unexpectedly… how would that effect your enjoyment of the film?
TEB: Awesome! Now, if only we’d mentioned the Con thing… that would have been good for that ep… Just wasnt’ thinkin’
RE: Tech Support – I do it. I have not degrees nor Certifications (sadly, or I’d be making more money). What I find funny is that I set up my own computers, I add all my own peripherals, and I rarely have issues with my equipment at home… So, why do so many people I speak to on the phones have problems? Granted, 85% of the time, I can get people going over the phone as well… I just don’t get how they can have such trouble…
NS: RE: Gramma killing batteries – I carry rediculous amounts of static charge. I mean serious, I sometimes can’t get out of a car or walk two steps without building up a charge that HURTS people. I have only destroyed 1 electronic device through my static build up (probably because I know about it and I’m careful). It was a USB flash drive. Totally fried, couldn’t reformat, but Gramma sucking the juice out of batteries… That’s fucked up…
TEB: Queen’s Gambit takes on a whole new meaning now… Chess holds a new appeal… AND IT’S WRONG! WRONG I SAY! I wonder if other players are distracted at all… I would be, for about two minutes, right before she fool-mated me (heh-heh, did ya see what I did there, Heh).
I see nothing provacative with that SI cover. It’s a person… Skiing… Nothing provacative. That is until she hits the lodge and spreads out on a bear-skin rug with a cup of cocoa… but that cover, no. Sorry. Try harder SI.

In the Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, the premise is that a person from the lower caste in India couldn’t possibly know all the answers to the questions on Indian version of the “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” game show.
While the movie was actually pretty good, I’ve been left wondering a few things.
Who is this Indian Action star, and can I Netflix his movies?
What was the name of the poet? I missed that bit, and didn’t think to run back the video.
Why did they end the movie with a big Hollywood kiss, and then drop a Bollywood music video in the end credits? Shouldn’t that video have been where the kiss was?

At my last job one of the top motor salesmen had and bachelors in History. if you have the opportunity I recommend getting something. With experience and ANY degree or certificate you can start to make more. The bean counters want to see something they can put a $ amount on.
For the most part if people don’t mess with there stuff it works. the other thing at least around here it is not that uncommon for someone to forget what button they clicked for years to do that thing they do. or just forget which mouse button is right and left.

EssBee: There was a trial over that quite some time ago. It was found that a cop ticketing a person for flipping them the bird went against a person’s right to free speech. I don’t know if that’s changed, but I doubt it. I’d rather sue the pig into oblivion.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:25 am
reaper/Lo Pan: I agree with reaper. If it’s not “hate speech”, and they can afford it, it should be aired. Goes back to the double-standard the ad company around me had when they posted those pro-god billboards. From what I heard, the pro-life ad had some inaccuracies, too.

Oh, and Jack, I too am curious about your situation. I welcome any venting or whatnot you have to offer. I’m just displeased I have nothing to offer in return. The only thing I’ve come up with is finding a pro-bono (sp?) lawyer through a battered men’s shelter, or something like that. Everyone can laugh at me if that’s a stupid idea, but that’s the best I’ve got. And of course, I don’t know if that’s something you’ve tried. Maybe sue the pigs?

Whats a plot?
Speaking of, LA Times ran an interesting article after Avatar became the highest grossing film of all time pertaining to all time number of tickets sold to a movie. Avatar is 21st all time. Gone with the Wind and Star Wars are 1 and 2 respectively. I just find that interesting. Less people are going to the movies these days but films are still making mad bank.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:43 am
Null theres no such thing as a stupid idea here.
February 9th, 2010 at 8:50 am
I agree with Lo Pan. It all depends on context.
Example:
Licking a frozen flag post — dumb idea.
Telling a member of the Westboro Baptist Church to lick a frozen flag post — good idea
:)

That wasnt an Avatar comment, Van, that was a comment on the interesting LA Times Article about ticket sales thru history. Avatar just happens to be the highest grossing movie ever which is why the article was taking a look at big movies thru history. Yes I fucking hate Avatar. Not every comment I make tho is me bitching about it. Lots, sure. But not this one expecially.
February 9th, 2010 at 9:33 am
I have a different take on the AD thing (no suprise there
).
This actually stems from a similar conversation I had with someone about TV spots during NASCAR races.
For a sports sanctioning body such as NASCAR or the NFL … they have to think like a business, and while they DO rely on TV ad revenue to make an ever increasing profit … they can only increase what they charge if their “fan base” is also increasing.
While a star like Joe Namath or Tiger Woods can bring in a sudden influx of viewers … when those names fade so does a large portion of those viewers. What a sport relys on is the true FAN. These people, who know stats and the names of players and coaches and team owners … these people don’t come and go. The stick with the sport through scandals and strikes and seasons where their favorite team just plain sucks.
It is possible for someone who never followed a sport or who was just a causal viewer of the sport to be converted to a “true fan” later in life … but the best fans, the ones that the NFL, MLB, NHL, NASCAR and all the other alphabet sports corporations can really count on being there when they approach advertisers for the coming year … these fans were made when they grew up with the sport. Sitting there next to mom or dad watching the race on Sunday or Monday night football on, well Monday night of course.
So in my long considered view, it is VERY short sighted for a sports organization not to limit the sort of advertisement that a network is allowed to show durring the broadcast of their event (Yes, the organization DOES have that bargining right when the networks are bidding to get to cover the events/season).
If you are allowing the networks to air content that is going to prohibit mom or dad from letting their kid watch the event with them … you are risking the loss of a future generation of fans.
As to the question of “So what is objectionable?”
That’s pretty easy, if a 40+ year old, male ad executive can’t go up to a 6 year old little girl in a public park and describe the add and it’s content in detail to her (such as “What IS an erection lasting more than 3 hours?) without getting arrested – then it’s probably detrimental to the longterm health of your sport.
So, I’m saying they shouldn’t show some of this stuff (in it’s present form) not from some oral aspect but from the aspect of what is best for the financial health of the sport.
BTW: Most of these advortisors (including “Go Daddy” AND the Gay Dating Service) could run very clevor and effective ads for their business without making parents chase their kids out of the room. It just requires them to be “clever” instead of “shocking” … and there are PLENTY of examples of such ad campaigns throughout sports broadcasting history.

Oooerrr missus! :
12 of the finest (unintentional) double-entendres ever aired on British
TV and radio
1. Pat Glenn, weightlifting commentator – “And this is Gregoriava from
Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning and it was amazing!”
2. New Zealand Rugby Commentator – “Andrew Mehrtens loves it when Daryl
Gibson comes inside of him.”
3. Ted Walsh – Horse Racing Commentator – “This is really a lovely
horse. I once rode her mother.”
4. Harry Carpenter at the Oxford-Cambridge boat race 1977 – “Ah, isn’t
that nice. The wife of the Cambridge President is kissing the Cox of the
Oxford crew.”
5. US PGA Commentator – “One of the reasons Arnie (Arnold Palmer) is
playing so well is that, before each tee shot, his wife takes out his
balls and kisses them …..
Oh my god!! What have I just said??”
6. Carenza Lewis about finding food in the Middle Ages on ‘Time Team
Live’ said: “You’d eat beaver if you could get it.”
7. A female news anchor who, the day after it was supposed to have
snowed and didn’t, turned to the weatherman and asked, “So Bob, where’s
that eight inches you promised me last night?” Not only did HE have to
leave the set, but half the crew did too, because they were laughing so
hard!
8. Steve Ryder covering the US Masters: “Ballesteros felt much better
today after a 69 yesterday.”
9. Clair Frisby talking about a jumbo hot dog on Look North said:
“There’s nothing like a big hot sausage inside you on a cold night like
this.”
10 Mike Hallett discussing missed snooker shots on Sky Sports: “Stephen
Hendry jumps on Steve Davis’s misses every chance he gets.”
11. Michael Buerk on watching Phillipa Forrester cuddle up to a male
astronomer for warmth during BBC1’s UK eclipse coverage remarked: “They
seem cold out there, they’re rubbing each other and he’s only come in
his shorts.”
12. Ken Brown commentating on golfer Nick Faldo and his caddie Fanny
Sunneson lining-up shots at the Scottish Open: “Some weeks Nick likes to
use Fanny, other weeks he prefers to do it by himself.”

Lejon your question from earlier is super bugging me because I theres no reason I can think of that ticket prices will ever be lowered. Man that hurts. I can only sit in bodily fluids at my local dollar cinema so often. Meh. Yeah I dont see it changing a tall. Tis sad.
February 9th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Lo Pan: actually, it is conceivable that the poor movie offerings that we’ve been getting will push people to other venues for worthwhile content forcing movie makers to lower ticket prices to bring more people in…
Aw, who’m I kidding… You’re right that’ll never happen. Not as long as there are 14 year old girls, and 14 year old boys who want to make out with them…
February 9th, 2010 at 3:01 pm

The US Governmet, I find, is scared of alot. Humor and pr0n seen to be one in the same to them. Pahehmeh.
Yknow Id like to think that the movie hike would send more people to see live music, but thats actually freaking worse anymore. 25$ to see Spoon makes me wanna cry. Thats a 15$ show tops. Alice in Chains at 45$ makes me wanna kill myself. I’m seeing both but wouldnt be if I wasnt begging into seeing Spoon and received AIC tickets from a lovely individual for Xmas. MONEY! FEH!
February 9th, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Lo Pan: but with Live music, you can buy beer… At least, if you go the cheap route and see live music in a pub… $12 for 2 pints, + $5 tip to the band… AND if you spend a little extra on another pint, you might leave with someone…
February 9th, 2010 at 3:19 pm
Good point there. Frankly I enjoy the lil venue shows more were the PBR is a buck and the tix were 6$. Plus yeah… meeting “someone” is much easier at a pub or small venue. Good stuff.

Good Morning,
!
NS: any left over parts?
reaper: I don’t want in on Lost, but what is this Wave of which your Google speaks?
J0e: It’s not that they hate America, they only hate Democrats, and are childishly picking their noses while the country flails about in poverty. All I can say is that they don’t live up to the concept of “Grand Old Party”.
As an aside, I am not jumping in on any political debates today.

Jejon, Google wave has been pretty useless for me till this lost Discussion. but the idea is you have a place were people can collaborate and have a centralized place for everything. The local LUG has one for disseminating info for meeting and talk after the meetings. in that case it more an extension of Google calender than anything else
February 10th, 2010 at 11:51 am
Damn we are getting close to 900.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:52 am
Boom.
February 10th, 2010 at 11:53 am
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait no. That was 300.

February 10th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Oh, I’m, already on wave. I just want in on the conversation!

Lejon: Giving that link a quick skim, it is, as the article mentioned, a fairly old idea. However, the quality of what surfaces is often in question. In no small part due to the ugly bags of mostly water that take in the data produced. Look at the citing of a “disturbance” in random numbers. Let’s leave the fact that it’s technically pseudo-random, generated by various RNGs, alone. There are, by definition, highs and lows across a spectrum of data. And let’s not forget the Debian SSL debacle, which earned this gem:

I am waveless, by choice. I still have to set up Skype, too. Mayhap a weekend project . . .
February 10th, 2010 at 2:57 pm
JfS done on spoiler and spoiler free waves
February 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I wanna wave too (have an account), but I won’t jump in until after I catch up this weekend. reaper, link me up? olyejark at gmail
Tonight is the last night in San Antonio. Big banquet, dancing (which is odd, as we have about 130 menopausal women and about 20 gay guys), and drinking. Ugh, I need a nap, and need not a bar.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
The last time? Last night. Wait, what are you talking about?

I want to predict the future, but only so I can figure out the next winning lottery numbers, and then I retire… Yeah.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I’ve found women love to wiggle, pre- and post-menopausal, and gay guys at least as much so.
February 10th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I built a time machine. The only problem is it only works in one-second increments.

Well I enjoyed the latest Lost episode, that is all.

justa J0e: Well, I’m not a fan of anyone “busting a sag”, even women.

Because it is almost new Deadpan time, I don’t think anyone else will supply the required response. I will fulfill that obligation myself…
Ready?
