“and now the bedroom is clear of packed materials.”
I don’t get the innuendo on that one.
“finishing a move”
He got run out of San Diego. Period.

One-armed QBs are useless *gnash-bite*
A Finnish movie about packed boxes? Hmmm
LOL! The embarrassing part is that I DID know about the move, and when I saw your original comment, I, too, thought of that other meaning first. (The podcasting world has corrupted me so much…
)
My all of you are corrupting the innocent mind of Amy Bowen… Gee
Well I still hope she “found the bedroom” for your birthday, WNDR.
Yeah but JR he was getting run that entire season to make way for Eli. Him getting hurt at the end was a nice excuse to get rid of him.
*standing crane*
Welcome to the gutter!!! Theres room for everyone here.

Lo, that rumor about Gaiman is a year old and nothing concrete so far. It feels (to me) like Gaiman would like to do it, but isn’t contracted.
Would be very interesting though.
I echo Jack. Everyone’s spouse/partner/love thang should “find the bedroom” on birthdays.
But I keep hearing such good things about the stairs.
Nomad, youre right. That was the wrong link. For some reason fucktardbot wont let me post the recent link that confirms he indeed wrote one.
!
Where?

Ha! Awesome. And he still hasn’t said anything. =)
Weird. Listening to an artist at Reverbnation and she sounds fine until I open Audacity. Suddenly everything sounds crap. Blarty, like it is overloaded somewhere. Close Audacity and … it stays messed up. Until the next track loads, where it resets to sounding nice.
Humph?
Paul Blarty?

You’re gonna hurt yer third eye iffen ya keep that up.

God bless you, Jack. God bless you hard.
With a pry bar?

@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…
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. [42]
That’s sort of … disturbing.
I’m playing around with my mic and held it up to my open mouth and… snap crackle pop.

I’m not planning to entirely disrupt the Deadpan experience, but I should note henceforth, that I’m going to be a bit more vocal about the legal situation.
At least for the near future.
bring it, good sir
“. . . should not that henceforth, I’m going. . . ” to apparently use awkward grammar, as well.
You are so right, Jack. This pen isn’t mine.
*sniff*
I’ll go put it back.
Thank, ditto, you, sir; valuable is your friendshipmanship.
No. Mine. Or I’ll help you not!
Powerful in the ways of the blog, you are.
Do not give in to the darkside, or forever will it consume your destiny.
A room, should you two get.

Crap, now I know more about Leaf than I wanted to. Thanks Lo.
Jack and Lo, get a room!
Jack, really want to know what’s happening. Sucks you can’t just go get your kid back.
Scary thought:
GTA 3 is over 9 years old.
Thanks for the tweet, JR. I was just trying to cram a reply into 140 characters.
Really – the kidnapper(s) should just do the right fucking thing. Barring that, the law enforcement agencies should just do the right fucking thing.
Sorry, I’ve been bringing the serious here a lot, of late.
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. That’s the suckiest part of the whole mess.
That sucks bigtime Jack.

Well crap! Literally!

Hope my wife doesn’t walk in…
Would she stick her thumb somewhere?
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.
TEB: you can bloody skeletons? There’s a problem with the logic there…
Lo Pan: Yeah, SG1 was some good fun. BSG was also really good, and one of these days, I’ll pick up the last half of the forth season on DVD, rip and re-edit that last ep so that it makes sense.

***FINALLY CAUGHT UP… HAH!***
Geez, I catch up, and everyone goes running for the hills.
I want to freeze Lejon’s 3:26pm post in carbonite and hang it on a wall in my palace, somewhere near the taxidermied tauntaun head.
I am not paranoid…
People like me…
They didn’t just go away because I finally caught up…
This is not a plot…
*Whew*
thanks Jack Mangan… I’d feel pretty good encased in carbonite right now… Or maybe between two blondes in a hot tub…
Yub nub
I don’t think there were any blondes in Jabba’s palace.
… except Luke.
And we all know Luke was gay.
or at least just a whiny bitch
But I was going to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!
<Random pointless musing>
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?
Apologies for any spoilers, but it’s not fresh out of the gate..
</Random pointless musing>
JR: I vote for whiny little insestuous bitch.
Hrmm…or was that Leia?
I want to know what the rest of the questions were. They skipped several.
Lejon: both!
Well, I’m out… Heading on home…
’til death does a participle…
Mark’s best role EVAR was in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Heh heh… twins… heh heh
Just needs deVito and Schwarnzeneger to show up…
Don’t Fuck with a Jedi, Son…
OK. Seriously. Out.
Ha! “Yub Nub”! HA!
Unless the Jedi is Kit Fisto. Seriously. He’s a puss.
You keep saying that :)
Tee, Pip, and Amy Bowen were kind enough to send “Kia Kaha” messages to me on twitter. (It’s a Maori saying, meaning “Be Strong and Mighty”)
This somehow led me to go out and find this link about Don Koharski, the worst referee in NHL history: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Here-s-your-anniversary-doughnut-you-fat-pig?urn=nhl,81086

KIT! FISTO!
DON KOHARSKI! Now thats a name Ive not heard in a long time. A long time.
Can we send Jedi after the kidnapper(s)? And by Jedi I mean me.
Jack, you say and share whatever you need to around here. What a world this is.
Thanks, Ed.
Lo, I didn’t click the link – is that the mega- NSFW Electric Six link?
And while that’s a funny joke, I’m going to make sure the legal Jedi do what they’re supposed to do.
No thats actually safe for work. Not the one I showed you… I would have totally warned if it was. No its the singer for Electric Six’s side project. Much better song IMO. Really good.
Well thats why the legal Jedi make the big bucks. Here’s hoping they earn it.
Jersey over Philly 1-0 in the first. Thats good game. I can actually watch it here. Avs play Blue tonite. Heres hoping for a quick and easy.

If the words are “Imma” or “getchu” then yes.
ZOMG, Ed, they are saying SNOW in San Antonio?! The bartender at our little reception tonight said it hasn’t snowed here since 1985.
What the hell?!
You know we all got your back, Jack.
And I remember well that snow we had in 1985. The time before that was 1972. I know, cause my parents have pictures in the front yard holding me as an infant :)
And we’re mush!
(Friday?)
NS, not yet hang in there. Friday is only a (few) day(s) away…
sounds like a song I’ve heard
Lejon, RE: Tech Support you have a good point I just have an Asso degree and I know with a bachelors I could make way more because I have 11 years of experience. 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.
Decaying eyes.
I was poking around the corp website and found a silly paper pusher job that requires an(y) associates degree and pays out TWICE what I make.
And I’m pretty damn good at what I do. Grrr. I need to go back to school.
LeJon: re: Sound Bits – AH! I understand fully now. That is why YouTube works. They have terrible video but the audio comes through just fine.
re:Static & Killing Batteries – I think your superhero power is probably a little cooler. But not as spooky.
There are such things as jobs that require ASSOCIATES DEGREES??????? OMFG…. well clearly I got that Master’s for no reason.
Where you wanna go to school, Nomad?
Clearly, EssBee, you are the harbinger of snow. Wherever you go, there it are.
My biggest problem – No one wants to hire a smart ass with a BS degree.
Well at least youre not a sheep like me, WNDR. BA BA BA BA BA BA BA BA.
Id rather be fulla BS
Ok this is something I don’t know if I should talk about but…

Fuck it. I say flaunt it. If youre gonna do it do it right, right?
Oh no, WNDR. Youre up against the Tulsa Police Dept. I smell fix.
Oh man AND the “Godly Gals podcast”?????? Oh you have no chance. Youre fightin god on that one ;P
Gawd I’m so sleepy this morning. And coffee is not working.
It’s going to be a tough day.
I’m with Lo Pan. Mostly because I would bet everyone else is flaunting it.
OMG have you seen some of these podcast’s websites? WNDR should win just for presentation alone.

We went to a Superbowl party. A group of us stayed in the other end of the house, and had a pretty damned good time, even though there wasn’t much in the way of nudity.
Huh? Wuz?
*thud*
Apparently the Air Force Super Bowl commercial didn’t license “Fell In Love With A Girl” from The White Stripes.
As far as the derby goes, they’re young girls, and not particularly muscular. Short-shorts, though. They’re competitive, but fun.
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.
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. Let a group hang themselves with their own rope. Stupidity is not illegal.
Delicious.
WNDRWolf: Excellent, good luck to you!
Vanamonde: Amazing shot! Thanks for the find.
Finally saw Moon last night. Really liked it. It’s been quite some time since I saw a recent movie with a . . . um, . . . what do you call it? Oh yes, a plot.
Of course, the harvesters looked wicked fake. CGI fail.
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.
Null theres no such thing as a stupid idea here.
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
:)
Lo Pan: That’s a relief!
ditto: Nice!
CP: If there is a cure for Lo Pan’s obsession with Avatar that doesn’t involve a time machine to rewrite history.
CP: Waterfront — Simple Minds
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.
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.
*steps off soap box and surrenders the mic*
LOL !!!!!
oral should equal MORAL

hard!
