The sunrise is very beautiful this morning.
I didn’t read the entire post by JC Hutchins for a few reasons: 1) I can’t read that white font on black background, and 2) I just don’t care much. I did see the line where he says he’s aborted plans to podcast his last novel. Oh, the imagery.
Well I want evidence TEB, got a photo of the sun rise?
Nomad I was actually referring to Frank Black of Pixies fame :)
EssBee EssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBeeEssBee
Sorry Van, no pic. That would require forethought. I didn’t have any thought except. My office window faces east so I see the sunrise. Camera is… I don’t know, must ask hubby. Hence,no picture. You’ll just have to take my word for it.
I hope he shows up. We’re close to 777.
CP: Debaser — Pixies
Hello, lovely Lo, and beautiful bunny, and vigorous Van, and juicy JR.
and righteous reaper
Whaaaaaaaaatcha dooooin?
Debaser fuckin rules.
“JC’s post as well as Mark’s post.”
??? I saw the link to JC’s farewell post but what’s this “Mark’s post”?
Re: Hutchin’s revelation
Seems like Jack and I had a conversation about this whole “Podcasting isn’t going to make anyone any money” thing some 2 years ago.
You have to do it because it is fun for you. Sure, it might bring some cash in … you also might win the lottery. Best not to make your plans based on either one of those things happening.
I never read or listened to Hutchin’s stuff and it’s simply because I’m not in the position to consume that much media. He was always on my list to check out when the que got empty but it never gets empty. So there you have it.
I’m suffering through work since 6:30 this morning, babe. Whatcha doin’ yourself?
I’m going to remain polite, JOe, and say that I enjoyed the 7th Son podcasts a lot. Period.
I assume we’re talking about Jesus Christ and Mark Foreman?
*irish jig*
Morning exquisite EssBee
Would that make me more special because I got my own post or less special because I was forgotten in the first one…
Yes, I’m baiting…
Do with that what you will
Also, I think that “debase” is one of the most erotic words on earth. I might be a little twisted.
Im suffering thru the same goddamn thing. Funny that…. work is awesome, you know?
*grabs ipecac*
Coincidently I enjoyed 7th Son of a 7th Son
debase….
ooooh debase…..
I really like that word . . .
reaper, MORE, MORE, MORE
de…..base…..
dammit reaper I thought you just said “Yes I’m BATHING”.
debase.
Lo, I thing baiting is much funnier but i’m not good at it…
S’all good cause Im not good at bathing…
I was wondering what that smell was…
*swats fly*
With some practice I be able to master it…
777
ah, crap.
Morning gang.
Opps may+be
Maybe I should be in my bunk though…
“master it” IN YOUR BUNK?
mornin’ WNDERWolf!
I’m a master debaser.
Essbee, the baiting…
maybe i’m the only one being gross this morning…
maybe a boat than…
walking through the plant I just heard Backwater off Too High To Die by Meat Puppets. I really loved that album. It was so strange no one else would listen to it. I should find that album again. I know I have a stack of CD’s some where.
Guess I scared everyone away…
maybe I’ll go find that boat…
Weirdly enough, I thought reaper said, “walking through the planet…”
Best euphemism ever.
Boat? Man in the canoe?
OMG, Lo, I thought that same thing and decided I couldn’t go there . . .
reaper, let me know if you need directions
I said ‘Mark’s Post’ but I meant Matt F’n Wallace’s Post.
THIS!
http://www.toplessrobot.com/9uo29.jpg
EssBee you can always go there….
Directions? TO the canoe?????
There’s a kid at work who insists on making “Boner” jokes.
It’s like a sickness. He can’t stop himself.
He knows I’m a Star Trek fan and he’s literally going overboard. Followed me through the parking lot explaining that George Takei would no longer be attending conventions because there would no longer be any “Boner” there…
I worry that it will continue today.
Just Rad Murdock! How yalls are?
Cj, That would be cool. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who needs to read things a few times to get it right. I mess that kind of think up all the time.
EssBee, I normally don’t ask for directions because the person behind the counter replies with “no from round here”. But this time I’m going with north because lake “Winneseptic” is that way.
But going there is 1/2 the fun… or is it getting there…
*grabs thinking cap*
*grabs baseball bat*
Cj you know what would help? Punching him in the face.
Cj, I would say to tell him is being a dick but that would just encourage him more.
Face, punch him in it.
Jack: I’ll be sending the Questors finale along in the early afternoon today.
Has anyone else ever played the icebreaker game where everyone picks an adjective to go with their name that starts with the same letter as their name, someone starts off by telling their adjective and name to the group, and each succeeding person has to recite the entire list before adding their own? The last time I did it, I picked “Audible Amy” and explained about my podcasting. “Awesome” and “Amazing” were too generic for me, and at least one of them was already taken.
Yeah. A good facepunching might be more effective than my walking rapidly in the other direction.
The issue is that I’m so unnaturally exhausted at this point that I don’t have the energy to be witty or physically violent.
Gotta run and finish this EOM spreadsheet now and then volunteer in my daughter’s classroom before I head back to that place that is draining me of my desire for human contact.
(side note: the job and the people are most excellent. I’m just tired of talking on the phone for 9 hours a day. I don’t want to talk once I’m off work.)
My husband just walked into the room and said, “So Dan was reading this article that said today is talk in third person day.”
*sigh*
I shall be bludgeoned with humor today. I just know it.
There are worse things with which I could be bludgeoned I supposed.
Reaper agrees with Cj…
Amy I played a similar game, but instead of adjectives it was things we liked to do. I sucked. Lots.
Theres also this good ice breaking party game where everyone puts their car keys in a fishbowl….
Ok, final hockey list with peeps and their anthems. As I said, if you’ve already submitted, don’t worry about it. With any luck, mine will go out today.
Ed: Finland, Sweden
ditto: Finland, US
The Energizer Bunny: US
Vanamonde: Sweden, US
WNDRWolf: Finland, Belarus, Canada
Nomad Scry: Czech Republic, Slovakia
Amy: Canada, US, Slovakia
Lo Pan: Canada (twice)
Cj: Slovakia
Jack: Canada, Finland
I think that’s everybody. I’ll send out the final colour coded sheet to Jack later today when I send in my anthem.
I’ve decided to be evil for the rest of the day..you may not notice the difference.
Twice? meh. I forgot twice.
TEB: We’re in for a lot of really bad singing in the next few episodes. :)
Amy: It’s always difficult to think of an adjective for J. I always hated that game. But it does work for others. :)
Jolly? Jumpy, jiffy, joyful… I can come up with lots
JIffy? I feel like peanut-butter now :D
CJ – From now on when this guy tries to talk with you … do the old, quick glance over his shoulder/worried look/ saying “Shhhh! Do you hear that?” thing.
Done to him enough times, he may learn to fear you/leave you alone.
If not, he might just get tired of being interrupted and look for less distracted prey.
TEB – I also have Sweden..
Four of those things… Knew I should not have entered…
RE: 7th Son
Never heard anything bad about it actually. Guess I really do need to bump that up the “To Be Listened to” list then.
Jovial, jocular, joker
J0e – You have a list?
7th Son is a really good story. I’m just wondering what JC did outside of Social Media (and Cons) to promote his books. He OVERSATURATED Social Media to the point of I was tired of hearing his name.
Van – The sound of the moustach will make it obvious.
Maybe we should make “Evil Twin” day a thing here on the Deadpan. Sort of like “Talk like a pirate” day except with more evil and less Arrrrrr!
Joker Jay. I think we have it now :)
WNDR – Oh yes … and YOU are on my list, buddy.
(I’m up to the “Year in Review”. That’s pretty good isn’t it?)
Did I make the Joe list? :)
Matt Wallace’s post here — http://www.matt-wallace.com/07-2009/pages/blog/03-03-10.htm ?
Wolf, yes you do. Sorry. Too many names, too many countries. Besides, as stated earlier, you don’t have to do them all. It’s supposed to be fun, not a chore.
now that one is just funny… but this is the one I was referring to. You tell me, is Matt dissing his audience?
http://www.matt-wallace.com/07-2009/pages/blog/02-26-10.htm
I think I’m just going to remain mum on the entire issue.
As for the anthems – - what Bunny said. Do one or two of your obligations, have fun. This shouldn’t become a burden. My team also lost to the Czechs, btw – - I’m planning to cover that one.
I dont even get all the hubub… but whatevs.
Damn it! Your anthem isn’t long enough. Can’t stretch it out any further…
J0e Sure is – You’re only 4 episodes behind.
Bunny I plan on having fun with it.
Brown chicken Brown Cow.
I agree that podcasting is a hobby and anyone who thinks it’s the next way to get rich is fooling themselves. That’s my opinion. Fans, no matter where they come from, should be appreciated. This is about community, not Who wants to be a millionaire.
Anyway… It’s a speed bump for one podcaster. It’s not going to spoil my fun or my plans :)
WOO WOO!
Ok, my obligation has been fulfilled. Now back to my regularly scheduled spreadsheets.
Podcasting is my vehicle for WORLD DOMINATION!!!
Come on Pinky!
I told a friend I was going stir crazy since, without a car, I haven’t been able to get out of the house much.
He’s coming over to take me out for Vietnamese for lunch. I have nice friends.
As someone who may (or may not) be making money podcasting, I’d like to state that I never ever in a million zillion years expected that someone would pay me to do it.
It’s fun.
It’s something I can do with my husband.
I like to hear myself talk (tho less so nowadays due to the job)
When people like me, it makes me swoon.
So – with or without money coming in, I’d still do my darnedest to bring fun and interesting content to anyone who wants to listen to me.
Taking you out for Vietnamese when you’re stuck, that’s what friends are pho.
+1 on Dead Kennedys!
Something else
Lo Pan: That pic is epic!
Cj: I hope you’re making money. I’d hate to be listening to those ads for no reason. :-)
Oh yeah
Something else = shaking up workouts.
It’s a must-do! I average a shake-up every three weeks.
JR: I agree with you about the promoting/oversaturating thing. I’m a busy person who would much rather spend my time here where people aren’t telling me nothing but how amazing they are.
When it comes to putting up with boner jokes, one must stay firm in ones resolve, take matters into you own hands and be careful not to stroke the teller’s fancy.
I won’t go on and on about the JC thing anymore. I’m reading a few more blog posts and good lord people are wordy. I’m seeing 2000-4000 word blog posts about this and I keep thinking… that’s one and a half to two of my chapters. I should be writing instead of reading. :) or recording. March 10th is sneaking up on me.
Careful Rhett, you’ll go blind that way.
I think Rhettro inserts a solid point, Cj.
You like Cowboys? you like Zombies? then there is a free Tower Defense game for you:
http://toucharcade.com/link/http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gundead-defense/id345386238?mt=8
If I was blind I wouldn’t be able to see my hairy palms.
There is a Billy Squire joke in there somewhere…
You work hard-on that joke, Rhett?
ZP rips into Bioshock 2:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1494-BioShock-2
Careful Rhett, you’ll shoot your eye out.
Rhett does have a firm handshake.
I’m still waiting for signs of Evil Vanamonde, btw.
And long, Lo.
Evil Van? is that the anti-mystery machine? I’m scared.
I cant wait to see whats erected next
Evil van

LOL, evil Van.
cw Lost: Sundown
When Google Street went around town they caught my mother-in-law watering her flowers in her front yard. We all got a chuckle out of that. :)
I was wrong. I had to look again. She was sweeping the front steps :)
runch
Good news for EssBee, and anyone else who likes George RR Martin:
http://scifiwire.com/2010/03/hbo-says-yes-to-game-of-t.php
Here’s some fun video
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2010/03/make_this_man_commerce_secretary.php#more?ref=fpblg
It’s Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) on Fox News this morning demonizing reconciliation as a horrible plot against America … followed by video of the same exact asshat in front of congress 5 years ago, praising reconciliation as a perfectly reasonable “rule of the senate” that allows the majority party to “take a position and pass a piece of legislation”.
(the rest of this post has been removed for civility sake)
how strange they don’t call it the nuclear options this time.
Thanks, Jack! That’s exciting and terrifying!
“nuclear option” was originally used as a threat to get rid of the filibuster. I guess the term has suffered a “reboot”.
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/2009/08/nuclear_option_inflation.php
On a much more pleasant note … JRM has been added to my list !
I”M ON JOES LIST!!! I made the big time now baby! WOO WOO! :)
but seriously, I hope you enjoy it. :)
Important question: which list?
Heck, I’m on one of his lists. That’s all that’s important to me. :)
Another option if you want to share large files with somebody:
https://www.dropbox.com/
EssBee – J0e has a podcast list.
the nuclear option was to get an up or down vote on judicial nominees because the democrats decided suddenly after 200+ years of a president being able to pick judges who are qualified for the bench should now require they meet some higher standard. in the case not be conservative or else we just keep debating them (filibuster).
This time they want to make the most radical change in what government does and the media decides it should be a more warm and fuzzy term.
funny how that works when the media is in favor of the change

CP: Ballad Of Jim Jones — The Brian Jonestown Massacre
CL – Local Radio station… I think I am going to be sick…
WNDRWolf, I don’t remember the last time I listed to a local radio station that wasn’t talk. I just gave up on it.
Well, no President in US History has ever had the authority to say “Make it So” and *poof*, there’s Judge Judy on the Supreme Court.
Not even when we had “The Decider” – although under his reign, it would have been the “Nucular Option”.
… errrr, if you have any links to info on these “most radical change in what government does” please (seriously please do) provide them because I am not aware of them.
As a point of clarification of the origin of the term “Nuclear Option”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option
“In U.S. politics, the nuclear option is an attempt by a majority of the United States Senate to end a filibuster by invoking a point of order to essentially declare the filibuster unconstitutional which can be decided by a simple majority, rather than seeking formal cloture with a supermajority of 60 senators.
Although it is not provided for in the formal rules of the Senate, the procedure is the subject of a 1957 parliamentary opinion and has been used on several occasions since. Senator Trent Lott (Republican of Mississippi) first called the option “nuclear” in March 2003; proponents later attempted to rebrand it as the constitutional option.
Other names have included the ExLax option, the Turnip-truck option, and the Byrd option.”
I see you are all long on humor today.
Regarding the “boner” joker at work, I won’t be as soft on him today.
I’ll tell him he can put his nuclear wessels where the sun don’t shine.
Cj FTW. Boner joke with accent.
I’m not saying a president should be able to just pick a person out of there ass and say your a judge. But the senatorial over site is nothing more than saying “Is the person qualified” that is left pretty open however being conservative does’t make you unqualified.
On “most radical change in what government does” I forgot to preface that with since Social Security. not putting that in there just was just dumb on my part
Here’s what I’ve gotten out of the political commentary:
A visual of the president picking a person out of his ass.
Thanks for that, reaper. It’s an image I won’t soon forget.
TEB and WNDRWolf have good suggestions for J adjectives. The one person in our group with a J name used “Juicy.” Don’t ask me why. Just to be memorable, most likely. (Yes, this person was female.)
JRMurdock: What you said. I’m not going to let any of this spoil my fun or my plans, either. :-)
Cj: What you said, too. I totally produce content for podcasts because it’s fun. :-)
Cj, Glad I could help. Anything for a laugh…
I’ll be here all week try the veal…
I am so going to find that sound bite now… Thanks Amy…
Pinky: What are we going to do tonight Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every night Pinky.
Pinky: What’s that Brain?
Brain: Take over the World Pinky.
Or something like that…
I have major problem right now in that I have WAAAAYYYY to much blood in my alcohol system…
You’re welcome… although, I wasn’t the one who first mentioned Pinky…
Oh, you’re thanking me for saying that your adjective suggestions were good. I get it now. :-)
I feel the need to watch a Pinky and the Brain marathon.
Pinky and the Brain was my favorite part of that show.
I had a glow in the dark t-shirt. :) I was used on the days I didn’t wear my Tick SPOON!!! t-shirt. I miss my t-shirts.
I could never sit down and watch the tick. not sure why it never held my interest.
I know these subjects make people uncomfortable but I am trying to see beyond the “talking points” and I don’t have the Q&A access to the guys on TV that say these things like I have with you guys.
So reaper, if your post about social security was in answer to my question then I do appreciate the clarification. I’m guessing then that the “radical change” you were referring to is “Health Care Reform”.
In that case I think it certainly would be fair to characterize the proposed reform as “the first major upgrade to how the government looks out for the health of it’s citizens in nearly half a century”.
Since (as you pointed out) the Government has already been looking out for the health of it’s citizens with Social Security, this really isn’t actually a “change in what Government does”. It’s just a v.2 of what they were already doing.
It definitely would be change though and given how everything else in humanity has changed in the last 50 years(heck even in the last 10 years) … My current view is “If we maintain the status quo, why should we expect a different result?”
the comics were far more interesting :)
I know you weren’t suggesting the Presidential Rectal Judicial Appointment, reaper.
Call me naive; I think Obama was sincere in his hope and effort to cut through Washington’s partisan politics. Sadly, there’s too much profit in rift and conflict, significantly less in compromise and unity.
Three simultaneous posts at 1:49 pm.
The animated Tick series had a few memorable episodes.
I am the mad bomber what bombs at MIDNIGHT!
900 comments so far. WOO WOO! And 3 at 1:49. That’s awesome!
