    Feet of lead, spine of glass.

  2. Vanamonde Says:

    24 maybe coming to an end…yah!

    http://eztv.it/tvnews/4935/clock-winds-down-on-24/

  3. jackmangan Says:

    Vanamonde gets the first of the week!

    Why am I never asleep at this hour?

    Goodnight, :mush:

  4. Cj Says:

    Trying to make other people happy is difficult and draining.

  5. Nomad Scry Says:

    Much easier to stick ‘em with pins.

  6. Nomad Scry Says:

    Re: 24 ending

    Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

    That was my impression of an episode of 24.

  7. Vanamonde Says:

    Ah Cj, welcome to the world of Clowns, standup comics, and any poor bugger who has to deal with punters.

  8. Ed from Texas Says:

    Or pretty much any transaction involving money…

  9. EssBee Says:

    Morning!

    Cj, yuck.

  10. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Deadpan!

    It’s five a.m. I started i-tunes and letting it download the latest Deadpan so I can listen to it on the plane.

    Now to hop in the shower.

  11. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Body clean. Do I really have to put clothes on? Nobody will mind if I’m at the airport just wrapped in my towel will they?

  12. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Now to sync up my touch. What does Jack mean by difficult show notes? More like no show notes because I ain’t doin’ them this week. :biggrin”

  13. EssBee Says:

    Bath time!

  14. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I didn’t want to but am dressed now.

  15. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Signing off for now. Leaving for the airport in about half an hour. May sign on for a bit while I’m there. Have to leave earlier than I need to so I fit into hubby’s schedule. That’s fine. Will have breakfast at the airport, read, listen to podcasts, maybe do some window shopping. The Calgary airport is its own little mall so there’s lots to look at. Won’t actually buy anything though, I don’t have the room in my suitcase.

    Later Panites!

  16. Vanamonde Says:

    So at the cinema waiting for Crazy Heart to start.

    Also observing sheep like behaviour in humans.

  17. reaper Says:

    CP: DeadPan: 158
    I love the dead pan song right after the promo

  18. reaper Says:

    I keep wanted to shout “Peace and Humptyness forever!”

  19. reaper Says:

    no longer using that auto-correct program
    wanted = wanting

  20. justa J0e Says:

    Hmm
    The “auto-correct” program left reaper wanting.

  21. reaper Says:

    justa J0e, very much! wanting to not look like a moron for trusting it.
    if it was easy to change the default corrections I might keep.
    BUT I SAY NAY!!!
    sorry hold over from yesterdayth.

  22. ComputerKing Says:

    Hmm, The Ladies of Deadpan seem to be getting naked in sequence (For showers/baths)… Who’s next? **looks at CJ, crosses fingers**

    Pix Pls?

    On another Note, Awesome use of Jack Nicholson, and the Humpty Beat. I’d love to hear Amy singing O Canada with the Humpty Beat in the back.

  23. EssBee Says:

    Pix?! Eeek!

    Excellent episode, everyone!

    Amy, good job on the Slovak pronunciation — you sounded just like my old gran.

  24. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hey Deadpan.

    Currently at the airport wiating to be allowed through customs. They won’t let me through for about another hour. What’s that abour?

  25. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oh well, now I can listen to Deadpan.

  26. Johnny Null Says:

    This space for rent.

  27. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ve got a loonie, is that enough?

  28. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Play ball? Must be football, only Toronto has a baseball team here in Canadaland.

  29. Rhettro Says:

    It’s episodes like this one that keep me coming back. Way to go everyone!

  30. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    God I can be wordy.

  31. Johnny Null Says:

    TEB: I work with loonies.

  32. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, in more information you really don’t care about… I’m headed to the washroom, then I’ll go through customs. Will have time between that and when I actually board the plane. May check in again then

  33. Johnny Null Says:

    > What are you reading, m’Lord?

    > Words, words, words.

  34. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    JN: What about a toonie? I think I have one of those too.

  35. ditto Says:

    I won’t be leaving for another 6 hours.

  36. ditto Says:

    I’ve got some of those “spy” toonies too. :)

  37. ditto Says:

    Currently listening to a new Martha & The Muffins song. Not really working for me so far.

  38. ditto Says:

    First cup of coffee done. Looking for the second now. Lack of sleep is killing me. Killing me, I say.

    I can’t abide that. ;)

  39. ditto Says:

    New Hole album? Meh. Who cares anymore?

  40. reaper Says:

    Has hating popular things just become a popular internet meme or has it always been one?

    http://myapokalips.com/show/125#comic

    I like funny thing. So what if they have a formula.

  41. Rhettro Says:

    I don’t know TEB, listening to Deadpan might make you a person of interest to the customs workers.

  42. Amy Bowen Says:

    EssBee: Wow!!! I didn’t know my pronunciation was that accurate. Thank you so much!! :happy:

    Rhettro: Thank you!

  43. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    So the new security is much stronger than when I was last in the US. They couldn’t use the full body scanner for some reason (even the security guard was surprised when she was ushering me to it and was told it was down). I’m wearing fairly tight clothes. Very obvious I’m not hiding anything, unless it’s in some cavity I don’t wan’t to think about, and I was still patted down. *sigh* I feel she should have at least offered to buy me a drink… and she wasn’t even good looking. :wink:

  44. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Does anybody remember, from Serenity, the message, “Two by two, hands of blue” in reference to the bad guys? All the security agents were wearing blue rubber gloves.

    Just saying.

  45. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Even my dentist wears white gloves.

  46. JRMurdock Says:

    The new deadpan is here! The new deadpan is here! Look everybody! I’m famous!

  47. EssBee Says:

    My tattoo guy wears black gloves.

    My joke with a straight friend who has a knee replacement is that she gets felt up by more women than I do because she flies so much.

  48. ditto Says:

    TEB: *I’ll* buy you a drink. ;)

  49. reaper Says:

    I’m sure there is a joke in there about blue glove treatment VS white glove treatment…

  50. reaper Says:

    Blue gloves: you should have been bought a drink
    Whie gloves: brings you your drink madam..
    Black gloves: not aloud to have a drink and leaves you sore?

    Maybe not

    But I’ll be here all week… Don’t forget to tip your glove wearing workers…

  51. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It’s amazing the number of people with either laptops or netbooks waiting with me. I’d say better than half the people here have some sort of computing device.

  52. Johnny Null Says:

    TEB: Sure, just carry the toonie!

  53. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    reaper, I feel the glove wearing workers should tip me.

  54. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Funny story, most US (and Mexican when I was there) are happy to take Canadian paper money but refuse to take our dollar (loonie) and two dollar (twoonie) coins. They usually tell you to go to a bank if you want to cash it in. I don’t understand why, It’s legal tender. And, at the moment, worth pretty close to the same as a US dollar or two dollar bill.

  55. reaper Says:

    Bunny, did any of them breath heavy and say “was it good for you?” or “thank you” in a very suggestive way?

  56. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    reaper, that would have been funny.

  57. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    No, the people patting you down are actually pretty grumpy. I don’t really blame them. While I’m coming down on them here in the Pan, I’m actually quite pleasant to them but I’m sure the get a lot of fuss and bother in their line of work. I actually admire them, it’s not a job I could, or would want to, do.

  58. reaper Says:

    sorry couldn’t get passed “While I’m coming down on them”
    I also missread the 3 word the first few times I read it.

  59. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Do not remove the word “down” reaper. Totally changes the meaning.

  60. Jack Mangan Says:

    That would have been a helluva patdown, Bunny. I just hope this story has a happy ending.

  61. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    According to the airport weather, it’s 10C in Pheonix right now. WTF? It’s 10 degrees here. It better be warmer by the time I get there or someone will have some ’splaining to do.

  62. EssBee Says:

    “happy ending” FTW

  63. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    On a different, yet similar note, if I understand the Facebook comments, certain people are hoping I’m going to tie them up when I get to Arizona? Is that correct?

    If so, you guys are all a bunch of perverts :biggrin:

  64. reaper Says:

    Perverts?
    *looks around*
    Us?

    well yah

  65. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, I’m signing off Deadpan. Going to board pretty soon.

    Catch you in Deadpanland!

  66. JRMurdock Says:

    TEB: Happy Flying!!!

  67. JRMurdock Says:

    I’ll be at the mmmmmeet up in spirit only :(

  68. Jack Mangan Says:

    Happy safe travels, Bunny! Seeya soon.

    JR, get in the car, you can be here in 5 hours. ;)

  69. reaper Says:

    Hope you have a good flight bunny!

  70. JRMurdock Says:

    if only I didn’t have so much going on,I would so be there.

  71. ditto Says:

    Oh! Happy endings! I can’t wait. :)

  72. Jack Mangan Says:

    Brilliant:
    http://niemann.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/10/my-way/

  73. reaper Says:

    Jack, Yes Brilliant!

  74. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    JN: Two of the ’80s TV-series that you can’t remember the names to are “Hard Time on Planet Earth” and “Automan”.

    #Catching_up_is_Hard_to_do

  75. ditto Says:

    Time to head home, pack, and head out to the airport.

  76. Jack Mangan Says:

    Null gets points for the Hamlet reference, btw.

  77. Vanamonde Says:

    Well it’s that time of year to get the darts out.

    Hows many points again for hitting Jack’s nose?

  78. Vanamonde Says:

    A still made blast from the past:

    http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/retro-toys-big-trak-80s-toys-big-track.html

  79. Johnny Null Says:

    Lejon: Holy crap, you’re spot-on! I’m equal parts impressed and terrified!

    Jack: Thanks for catching that one!

  80. Johnny Null Says:

    Oh, and a great episode! Well done, Jack and crew!

  81. Johnny Null Says:

    Vanamonde: Wow, I remember that!

  82. EssBee Says:

    Van, why must you punish Jack so?

  83. Jack Mangan Says:

    Srsly! WNDRWolf probably doesn’t appreciate getting darts thrown at his nose.

  84. Jack Mangan Says:

    Wow, Deep South (if true). On second thought, go ahead and secede. It’s cool.

    http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/2010/03/11/20100311lesbian-prom-canceled-ON.html

  85. EssBee Says:

    I posted that article to my Facebook page this morning, Jack.

    Kid: This is who I am.

    Educators: You should die. Burn in hell.

  86. Vanamonde Says:

    Jealousy Essbee pure jealously…

  87. Vanamonde Says:

    That’s me throwing darts that is.

  88. Lo Pan Says:

    Sweet I have to connect in Salt Lake. Um….thats…uh….. awesome?

  89. Lo Pan Says:

    Why is there a dart in my neck?

  90. Rhettro Says:

    Honestly, who doesn’t like a good lesbian prom?

    In other news, started Mass Effect 2 last night, mucho impresso.

  91. EssBee Says:

    Rhettro, you crack me up.

  92. Lo Pan Says:

    Frank Gorshin.

  93. Lo Pan Says:

    Dammit EssBee. If you were here I wouldnt be bored waitingeth for planeth.

  94. EssBee Says:

    shiteth. Nor would I be eatingeth this caneth of soupeth.

  95. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Listening to TEB’s journey through customs has made me come to a realization about Sci-fi TV shows from the ’80s. They got the skin tight clothing in space travel correct. Who needs xrays when you can see every detail without it…

    TEB: I remember that line from Firefly… I also had the same thought going through security the last time I flew…

    JN: I frighten myself like that all the time… I used to have the nick-name “1/2 of IMDB”… I’ve been demoted to 1/4

  96. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: I’m shocked that they bothered to ask permission… Don’t girls congregate without asking anyway? No one ever thinks twice about it. So, you and your friend “go stag”, meet up at the prom… hell, they could even give eachother a ride there…

    OK, I know they’re being open and above board… It just seems like permission wouldn’t have been needed…

    Still, the school board needs some time in the Chokey…

  97. EssBee Says:

    Lejon: OR, they could have done what I did — Go to prom with a boy; leave with a girl. Of course, that was 21 years ago, and I hadn’t seen Brian go to prom with Justin on QAF, so asking a girl would have never occurred to me at the time.

    But the asshat school board put out a policy on prom dates! Handed it out to students! “You can bring a date to prom, as long as it is someone of the opposite sex.”

    You know us queers. We must get all political when someone gives us some shit like that to contend with.

  98. Rhettro Says:

    *shows up with a female goat* Hey the handout only specified “opposite sex”, not species. duh…

  99. Rhettro Says:

    I’m always looking for ways to subvert the system. :)

  100. reaper Says:

    Tomorrow is the last day for the other person in IT at my old job.
    so the the guy will only have one week with anyone with any real IT experience at the company. Glad I’m out of there

  101. Jack Mangan Says:

    Rhett, goats are probably pretty common prom dates in places that ban same-sex couples. Although, how embarrassing if your goat date is wearing the same dress as someone else’s?

  102. Rhettro Says:

    Being brought up in the midwest, I think the locals would have been less shocked if we brought farm animals.

  103. EssBee Says:

    Fight the power!

  104. Rhettro Says:

    Or the same shade of lip gloss?

  105. reaper Says:

    I grew up in a small town in WI. We only have 450 people in the highschool and 4000+ in the town. We didn’t have any rules like this for prom or and dance. I was well known at lest by the students we had a few lesbian couples. no one cared

  106. reaper Says:

    I don’t remember anyone bring any goats or sheep…
    or any other animal but the lights where down low

  107. Jack Mangan Says:

    reaper, you should celebrate their new guy’s misfortune by meeting your wife again for lunch.

    Happy/safe travels, Lo Pan! See you soon.

    Rhett: or what if they both want to chew on the same can? Awkward.

  108. Cj Says:

    Food for Saturday has been ordered.

  109. Cj Says:

    Off to make myself beautiful for Bunny.

  110. reaper Says:

    Jack, thats not a bad idea. I don’t think the guy will call it misfortune because he was laid off just over a year ago but he also has no idea what is getting into… yet.

  111. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    The Highschool I went to was so backwards that they refused to call it a “prom”, because of the stigma associated with prom night (parochial highschool). They called it a “Junior/Senior banquet”.

    I went alone.

  112. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Come to think of it, I left alone, too.

  113. ditto Says:

    Waiting for boarding

  114. Vanamonde Says:

    So glad they had none of that prom stuff when I was a lad.

    I grateful for missing out on all tgat angst.

  115. Vanamonde Says:

    +’m -g +h

  116. Jack Mangan Says:

    ditto, I’m supposed to give you a smooch from Andrea when I see you, but I’ll probably just go with a handshake. Maybe a hug.

    Happy safe travels to you and the Mrs.!

  117. Johnny Null Says:

    Interesting: I’m guessing this was timed to give them a seat at The Next HOPE, but I could be wrong. Very clever, either way:

    http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/1024-bit-rsa-encryption-cracked-by-carefully-starving-cpu-of-ele/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fengadget+%28Engadget%29

  118. Vanamonde Says:

    Very cool JN, almost something you would see in a scifi thriller.

  119. Jack Mangan Says:

    Yes indeed, very Neal Stephenson.

    So I guess we should make public the ustream and Skype info for the bbq?

  120. Vanamonde Says:

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  121. JRMurdock Says:

    yes please :)

  122. Vanamonde Says:

    Was I too loud?

  123. JRMurdock Says:

    Thank you sir may I have another?

  124. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thou didst speaketh with vociferous eloquence.

    I don’t actually have that ustream/Skype info, though. . . I may have to defer to Dan or Cj here.

  125. Cj at Work Says:

    Bunny has arrived safely. I got to visit with her a bit before presenting her to my hubby who promptly whisked her away!

    Those of you going to dinner tonight have an EXCELLENT time!!!

    And have a drink for me! :)

    *muah*

  126. Cj at Work Says:

    And yes – I will set up a ustream or skype whateverweneed for the bbq day.

    Dan may need to give me pointers on the mixer thingie, but I’m sure I’m quite deft at figuring out the mechanics.

  127. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    It’s looking like I’ll have my car back, so there’s a very good possibility the wife and I will make it after all…

    But the ustream thingy wouldn’t hurt…

  128. Jack Mangan Says:

    No ustream for you guys, Lejon. We’ll come and remove you from your home.

  129. Johnny Null Says:

    Damn, I still have to install Skype.

  130. JRMurdock Says:

    come get me too!!!

    Glad to know that Bunny made it safe an sound :)

  131. Johnny Null Says:

    ustream sounds like a diuretic.

  132. JRMurdock Says:

    but does it make your pee smell like asparagus?

  133. EssBee Says:

    I’ll play Saturday!

    My god, what should I wear?

  134. justa J0e Says:

    better than your asparagus smelling like …

  135. Johnny Null Says:

    squeeze cheese?

  136. justa J0e Says:

    So RE: The Prom

    Here is the question I am just DYING to know -
    Given that these were High School students and likely “minors” … What school sanctioned activities were supposed to be occurring at this prom where by the sex of the participants would actually be coming into play? *

    If the concern was about “un-sanctioned” sexual activity … wouldn’t their chaperoning plans take care of that?

    *At any HS dance I attended, girls ended up dancing together because most of the guys wouldn’t. The girls stood around in groups together talking because that is what they did in High School. Girl friends had their pictures taken with one another in their fancy attire to commemorate the event. How is any of this different if two of the girls were there as “dates”?

  137. Johnny Null Says:

    Okay, I’m probably the last to know, but in case I’m not:

    http://www.popsci.com/archives

  138. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The Bunny has arrived!

    Now I’m going to colour with Sarah.

  139. EssBee Says:

    Careful, Sarah! There’s an extra “u” in your house!

  140. Johnny Null Says:

    justa J0e: An excellent point.

    May I point out that this in Mississippi? I think the Earth is still officially flat in Mississippi.

  141. Johnny Null Says:

    Ouh Nou! Theu u invasioun!

  142. ditto Says:

    Here and off to get the car.

  143. Vanamonde Says:

    ZP examines Aliens vs Predator:

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/1516-Aliens-vs-Predator

  144. Ed from Texas Says:

    EssBee, you should be like the rest of us at the party and go naked….

    …of course, I be remembering something wrong from the invitation :)

  145. EssBee Says:

    Oooh, Ed. That helps with the deciding!

    Look at ditto smarting from his post phone.

  146. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    JN: You have nou idea what I went through tou edit this intou prouper English.

  147. Johnny Null Says:

    Saucre Bleuu!

  148. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Sarah and I coloured Strawberry Shortcake. Fletcher made me a pretty pictures.

    Sarah was worried I was staying becuase I didn’t have a home. She then gave me a hug. It was very sweet.

  149. JRMurdock Says:

    Hey Jack! Post some pictures to FaceBook :)

  150. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Tired now. I forgot how tiring kids can be. Now just chillin while the two paly with eachother.

  151. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think I’m going to put Jack’s care package together.

  152. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I seem to be Panning alone.

  153. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I watched Dora the Explorer. Those were some crazy ass drugs the producers were on.

  154. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I have people all around me telling me it’s chilly. They would never survive in Calgary

  155. JRMurdock Says:

    I grew up in Minnesota. I live in San Diego. I know what you mean LOL

  156. EssBee Says:

    Sugalumps:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0RL7vK44E

  157. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ll have to look at it later EssBee. I saw the first few seconds and decided it’s probably not something I should watch with kids haning off of me.

  158. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    haning = hanging

  159. Cj at Work Says:

    I love that Bunny is home waiting for me! :)

    And enjoying my kids :)

  160. EssBee Says:

    Ooops! No, maybe hold off, Bunny.

    That’s what my prom looked like.

  161. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Your kids are sweet. I taught them how to cook.

  162. Ed from Texas Says:

    Walking and surfing. Thinking of AZ.

  163. JRMurdock Says:

    folding laundry wishing I was in AZ

  164. EssBee Says:

    Reading Sly B prom comments and wishing we both were in AZ.

  165. JRMurdock Says:

    Reading popular Science archives and wishing I was in AZ (or watching a uStream or skyped in)

  166. Rhettro Says:

    Ah, I wish I could partake of this evenings festivities, but I’m a busy bee until tomorrow night. Looking forward to tomorrow after work.

  167. Cj at Work Says:

    LOL – Bunny! Don’t let them fool you. I cook with them all the time. hee hee

  168. justa J0e Says:

    This is pretty swell
    http://www.yikebike.com/site/gallery/video/yikebike-discovery-channel

    One could ride it while wishing they were in Az.

  169. Cj at Work Says:

    And don’t forget – anyone who can join us for breakfast at 10am tomorrow… come join us!

    http://eatatovereasy.com

  170. JRMurdock Says:

    Eating dinner wishing I was having breakfast in AZ

  171. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Had a wonderful evening with Danithol, Jack, Lo Pan, Ditto and Mrs. Ditto. Now time to rest my sleepy head and start fresh in the morning.

  172. Amy Bowen Says:

    Aww! Sarah is adorable :-)

    Have a good night, Bunny! I will be joining you at #EVFN tomorrow. :-)

  173. justa J0e Says:

    My current favorite “guilty” TV pleasure is “Archer” on the FX channel.
    It’s so juvenile and clever and juvenile and completely wrong. Did I mention it was juvenile? Still, it makes me laugh.

  174. Amy Bowen Says:

    Going to bed. Good night, Pan! I’ll see many of you tomorrow! :-)

  175. Cj at Work Says:

    Is it wrong how much I don’t want to be at work right now?

  176. JRMurdock Says:

    Going to sleep wishing I was waking up in AZ.

  177. Vanamonde Says:

    Morning Pan, yeah I wish I could be there as well.

    Back to the darts…

  178. jackmangan Says:

    Vanamonde, you are required to be here for the Deadpan MMMmmmeetup 2011, assuming that a comet doesn’t destroy the earth and it actually happens.

    That goes for all of you.

    I had a fantastic time tonight with everyone and I’m truly grateful for all of the great, great people who’ve come into my life through Deadpan.

    And holy crap, I finally met ditto! And how fucking cool is Mrs. ditto?

    I’ve been so froggin’ busy tonight that I haven’t even caught up on today’s nipples, but…

    I think this is my abso favorite so far:

    +’m -g +h

  182. Nomad Scry Says:

    Work is trying to send me to MS. As if that weren’t scary enough, they haven’t specified -why- they want me to go… just that it is for an “event.”

    I’m not even being vague to be amusing or interesting either. That’s all I know. A freaking “event”? What does that mean?

    !

  183. Nomad Scry Says:

    TEB – Is Lo Pan as scary in person as he is on the boards? ;)

  184. Nomad Scry Says:

    At my prom we didn’t have a school. Less than 350 students total and only 60-odd in my graduating class. I don’t really remember the last 9 weeks of school, though, because I’d already gotten married and had a bun in the oven. I don’t know what the policy was in the rest of the world, but I would have been expelled if either fact were known, so … yeah.

    I think not being heterosexual was also an expelling offense. Gotta love them Southern cults.

  185. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan!

    It’s four in the morning and I’m awake. Why am I awake? Must be because I’m in a different (but wonderful) house. I’m going to be a wreck come later this evening.

  186. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Scry, Lo Pan was a tad upset when I gave Jack a Calgary Flames jacket but I think I won him around in the end :wink:

  187. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I didn’t plug my netbook in last night. Almost out of battery power. I think I’ll plug it in for a while and see if I can close my eyes for another hour. Maybe that’ll work.

  188. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Decided that I’m not going to get back to sleep. Cj (and the rest of the Deadpanites) will just have to put up with a yawning bunny today.

  189. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oh, and Lo Pan, if you read this, Calgary was playing last night, against Ottawa. Calgary won, 2-0

  190. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    ohhh, the bags under my eyes. Beware the black eyed bunny…

  198. Ed from Texas Says:

    You know, I’ve really got to remember to refresh after “catching up” and trying to make a reply….

  199. Ed from Texas Says:

    So, I’m listening to my audible edition of the Wall Street Journal (complimentary with my Audible subscription. Did I mention I love Audible? And no, my name is not Jason Calincanis)

    What was I saying? Oh, yeah…

    So, the article talks about how Americans have been reducing their debt over the last year. Much of it has come through defaulting on loans and bankruptcies.

    As a result, they now have free cash available from the payments they aren’t making anymore. The markets are now optimistic that “consumers” will then use that “free money” to start buying again and get the economy moving.

    Seems like something of a vicious cycle…..I would hope those folks to take at least another year and bank a good chunk of that “free money” as a buffer for the future.

  200. reaper Says:

    Ed, In many ways I do have faith that people will work in their best interest but saving money isn’t one of them.

    Ed/reaper: Too true. I am amused that so many people can think long-term and rationally in World of Warcraft and similar, but have to “keep up with the Joneses” and require immediate gratification.

  204. reaper Says:

    JN, no kidding. I’m rather glad some places like Wal-Mart decided to make the 401k program opt out. They won’t have it to spend right away. Now they are saving with out thinking about it. I would bet most of the people saving this way see that line item on their pay stub just thing “damn Government talking more of my money” and get the investment statement and thinking it is just junk mail. It doesn’t really solve any problem but maybe just maybe a few of those people will finely open that paper work up and say to themselves Wow that money really grew this 401k thingie is good, I should keep doing it. and hopefully have a better life. <— Me having faith in people again.

  205. Ed from Texas Says:

    Alright, time to clean up, finish packing, and make my way to the airport. Hopefully my next post will be from said airport, or maybe even Arizona itself.

    You’ll just have to check back and see. I know, JJ it getting all tingly with the excitement of uncertainty…..

  206. reaper Says:

    Happy and save travels Ed!

  207. Johnny Null Says:

    reaper: Wal*Mart did something right? F me, you just blew my mind!

  216. justa J0e Says:

    Hope all is well in AZ land.

    It’s an interesting thing about the “savings” deal.
    People putting money in the bank IS at a high point right now. Fear of the unknown causing people to think twice before going out and buying stuff … which is the good and responsable thing to do on a personal level. On a national level it has a very negative effect on economic recovery. Businesses need people to buy so they can stay in business. The Gvment needs people to buy so they can get he sales taxes and the profit taxes from the businesses who sell the stuff (so we can have an army and build bridges and provide congressmen with really sweet health insurance benifits).

    So it’s the really screwed up conundrem in which what is good for the individual isn’t good for the country which in turn works out poorly for the individual.
    Makes my head hurt.

    BTW – Having a job that gave me the option of deducting for a 401k may be one of the best things that ever happened to me. I lost 2/3 that money in the crash of 2000 but that made me take a close personal interest in how the money was there-after invested and since then I have made it all back plus a whole lot more. If I had just put all of my paycheck in the back I would have surely spent it all on Comic books!
    Of course, I can’t REALLY say it was a good thing until I get to draw any of it out but I have done a whole lot since 2000 to protect myself from future crashes (like this last near depression).

    Allright, enough financial stuff. You may all wake back up now!

  222. Ed from Texas Says:

    See you in a few hours, Ambassador.

  223. Johnny Null Says:

    $$$-related stuff:

    My IRA tanked, along with everyone else’s. Those of us that rode the wave, as one should, have been doing pretty well overall. Generally speaking.

    People spending less money with great abandon can hurt businesses. Mostly businesses that think nothing of going into the red often. Like the kind that take out loans monthly to pay their staff. If a business doesn’t know how to handle their finances, I have as much sympathy for them as I do for people that rather blow money on T.V.s and fancy cars than invest for their retirement.

  224. EssBee Says:

    I make a very decent salary, and have a small 401K, but mostly, I doubt I’ll do anything close to “retiring” if I’m lucky enough to live that long.

    EssBee: “Retirement” means different things to different people.

  228. reaper Says:

    I haven’t done to much with my 401k other than make a few moves here and there. My wife and I plan to start saving a lot more after she is finished with school and both kids are out of the house (4-5 years). I do have a pretty good and very unusual citation. I’ll be 35 and suddenly have 2 incomes and no kids in the house so I haven’t worried about long term saving maybe as much as I should.
    On a somewhat unrelated note: I really looking forward to being a pretty young grandpa and being able to spoil the grand kid and help the kids like my grandpa did for my family.

  229. EssBee Says:

    Fuck the future, enjoy yourself now.

  233. reaper Says:

    JN there are both advantages and disadvantages to having kids young.
    Disadvantage: My wife isn’t finished with school after going for nearly 20 years.
    Advantage: still being of an active age when the grandkids come.

    Incase anyone is doing the math and scratching their heads. Yes my wife is a bit older than me and Yes they are step kids. I wasn’t 12 getting girls knocked up. I could jam with Humpty but even I didn’t have that much game

  248. Johnny Null Says:

    I don’t fear my age. I’m in the best shape of my life, with a fantastic woman, and I make enough money to keep us fed and off the streets. I just miss some aspects of being younger, I guess you’d say.

    For most of my life, I was rather pessimistic, and quite certain that I’d not live to see 30. So this is all gravy.

  249. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    TEB: Welcome to AZ. It really hasn’t been all that chilly… OK, last night and this morning, yeah, that made my hands hurt, but the days have been lovely.

    ED: That Vicious cycle will only start if people haven’t realized that they should cache some of that “Free” cash. As for me… I just went $2700+ further into debt… (stupid car motor seizing up)

    JN: Wal-Mart does lots of things “correctly”. Why do you think they’re a successful corporation? Of course, I’m sure that you have to be a full-time regular employee to even apply for a 401k…

    JN: I drive a ‘01 Toyota Corolla which just got an Engine Transplant from a ‘04 Matrix… That’s fancy for me…and I spent money on it… I’m not gonna say anything about my TV…

    VAN: If it takes pictures, it’s not a “Toy” Camera. A toy camera, doesn’t hold film, doesn’t have a digital image senser or storage. A toy camera is basically a box with a hole in it, and nothing to capture an image. (sorry, a bit ranty there. 7 semesters of art photography… Again, sorry) — Besides, you didn’t call it a toy camera, that came from the link… Stupid web addresses… Some cameras don’t even have lenses…

    Jack, are you referring to the secret of NIHM?

    And when are you going to take your Scrabble turn.. you aren’t scared of a little old game now, are you? :wassat:

    Did Van just ask me to eat (or lick) his rolo? *more coughing*

  274. EssBee Says:

    Jack, you can have a grope too. From me. Via Ed.

    Just kidding, Ed!

  275. Cj Says:

    EVFN generally starts at 6 but Bunny and I are going to get there early.. between 5 and 5:30 to order foods and make sure we have a place to sit.

    I watched Cj try to lick the chest I gave her :blush:

  277. EssBee Says:

    We just finished a game. She obviously wiped the floor with me. But I am proud to say that I kinda held my own!

    Oh how I miss the 80s.

    I’ll grope you Cj! Get over here…

  280. ditto Says:

    Group grope!

  281. ditto Says:

    There’s a fucking dog barking in the hotel

  282. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Van: yes. I never did pinhole photography myself, but the principle is pretty basic. Small holes create small circles of light. The smaller the hole, the greater the depth of field is which in turn increases the focal range (this is what the aperture ring on a camera adjusts). A very small pin-hole can give pretty good focus. It’s just inconvenient to load film, and exposure times are usually longer… (sorry. Again, fell into teaching mode… I hate teaching… sorry, again)

    TEB: I believe there is likely going to be a high cost in hugs.

    EssBee: I would relate the trials of my corolla… the fact that it has just gotten an engine transplant after only 129000 miles should speak to the size of the disaster… but good on you for yours!

    one had 175000 when we upgraded the 2 we own now have 120000 and 37000. Just did regular maintenance (oil, plugs, trans, radiator flushes) and they run/ran perfectly. when one of the kids wants to by the 99 civic i would like to get an older fit.

    awww man. I hate missing out on lewd remarks :(

  323. Johnny Null Says:

    Cj: Another good one!

    Vanamonde: Sorry, no real experience w/iTunes.

  324. reaper Says:

    Van, I just copied the files added them to the library and tried to run them. It work fine for nearly everything after I logged in to iTunes. Ranks and that type of data didn’t come across but it didn’t take to much time to fix that for me. didn’t have any apps though.

  325. EssBee Says:

    Van, I did this on an Apple, but it probably doesn’t work the same on a PC. Maybe just via external hard drive?

  326. EssBee Says:

    BTW, I am a total tech tard. Why on earth I even answered this question is beyond me.

  327. jackmangan Says:

    A show about golfing weather could be called the Forecast.

    Something geekier?

    A show about the Green wizard could be the Radaghastcast.

  328. JRMurdock Says:

    A show about Jack Mangan could be called Jackast.

  329. EssBee Says:

    The Jackast would attract some awful listeners.

    EssBee, I think I’ve gotten that one too.

    The spam, not the product.

  332. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: You got a spam about MacDonald’s?

  333. EssBee Says:

    Jack: You forgot the “cough” on that one.

  334. EssBee Says:

    Lejon: Eating McDonalds makes most people want to do nothing more in the sack than fart and sleep. That’s terrible advice! Poor ladies!

  335. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: well…I can’t think of another product that qualifies as the most renowned in the world… I’ll have to think about it some more… Perhaps I should start with more illicit products… Marijuana, Cocaine, Guinness…

    Cj and I have been at EVFN for a while now. We decided to start the parthy early. :lol:

  353. jackmangan Says:

    I hope everyone enjoyed themselves tonight! I certainly had fun getting schooled by “Texas Slim” Ed at billiards. It felt an awful lot like politics. . . .

    Thank you everyone for turning out.

    Heh. I bet that is very successful at making people uncomfortable. Poor people, being all people-y. [evil grin]

  356. Nomad Scry Says:

    I liked Jj’s point about what is good for the individual is not what is good for the business. I hadn’t thought about it from that angle before.

    As for saving money, I’ve had a bank account frozen by the state before – through no fault of my own – and was unable to get to my money, including paychecks, for over two weeks. I no longer trust banks for saving money.

    I expect, if it all works out, when the great-grandkids come to dispose of my belongings, they’ll fine a huge ziplock bag of $100s stuffed into the back of the toilet tank. ;)

    Morning Deadpan

    Actually slept in til about seven this morning. It felt nice.

    I did my part last night to prove us Canadians are not the gentle, polite, pulled back people most people think we are. :wink:

  360. EssBee Says:

    Hi Bunny.

    You show em!

  361. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    CW: Dora the explorere. Yesterday she jumped the shark (literally), let’s see what adventure she goes on today.

    Previously watched wonder pets. As I watched cartoons at this age, I sometimes wonder what crazy ass drugs the producers were on when they thought of these ideas.

  362. Cj Says:

    Yawn. Stretch. Coffee. Bunny.

    Kids are packed for their night at Gramma’s house.

    We are heading to the market for yummies after I shower etc.

    Anyone need me to remember anything?

    Those of you attending today’s festivities keep in mind that I don’t know beer.

    That means Bring your Own because I have no clue what to buy.

    I’ve got a loaded liquor cabinet and I’ll pick up some standard mixers, but ya know… I’m chillin today. :happy:

  363. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Chillin’ with my Goddess is one of the things bunnies like best :smile:

    wOOt! Great time last night. Now, laundry. Grrrr….

  366. Jack Mangan Says:

    No worries, Cj – thanks for all that you’ve already done. We’ll do a beer run on the way.

    It was a great surprise that you made it last night, Rhett. Tonight will be fun for part 2!

  367. Ed from Texas Says:

    I too slept in until a bit after 7 this morning. Had to recover from Lo Pan’s driving lessons at Dave &Busters last night.

    It sure is bright around here.

    Lies!!!!!!!!!!!! Well….. ok not really.

  369. Amy Bowen Says:

    It is bright around here. We (myself, Jack, Ed, Lo Pan, ditto, and T-cat) just came back from a good brunch, and now we’re having some chill time. Beer run and sightseeing later, then party time!

    Covered in guava jelly.

    You sound like it!

  395. EssBee Says:

    Goodnight, mushy DP! Drive safe, you guys in AZ.

  396. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My computer was hi-jacked tonight. I honestly didn’t say any of the comments that were posted under my name tonight.

    … Although the guava jelly comment was very… appropriate.

    Now, must get to sleep. This bunny had a tad too much to drink and knows she’s going to regret it in the morning.

  397. Cj Says:

    I love you man!

  398. Cj Says:

    I mean, I love Long Pan!

  399. Cj Says:

    No wait… I mean.. uhm.

    OK seriously. I have to get to bed.

    Dan and I had an awesomesauce time. You guys and gals all roxors. Sorry Tcat didn’t make it. Hope she feels better soon!

  400. Cj Says:

    Please post more definitivie definiitivie definitive instructions as to the time and location of brunch please. I am not going to remember come morning. It’s already morning and I know it involves Indians bending or something and one ohhhh one ooooh one ooooooh one.

  401. Cj Says:

    Things I’ll be bringing to Denny’s include:

    The Deadpan poster.
    Some black thing-a-ma-bopper that is some sort of Jack’s “equipment”
    A book by Bruce Campbell – signed
    Amy’s (I think) power cord for her laptop.

    If you feel there are more items you’ve left behind, please let me know.

    oh look a pillow.

  402. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thank you, Justa J0e. Thank you to all the supportive Deadpan homies, presetn and remote – - You are teh awesome.

  403. Nomad Scry Says:

    Wow, sounds like y’all blew it out. Fantastic.

    Well, that was fail.

    I thought I’d watch the ustream of last night’s festivities on my phone, but the uStream viewing app is stupid. It seems to only allow popular shite. Bah.

  407. Ed from Texas Says:

    So did anything interesting happen last night? And does anyone know how I managed to wake up with a headache and find myself in Arizona?

  408. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Deadpan.

    Man, how bad is it when you’re body’s use to a schedule. In bed after one a.m., slightly tipsy and here it is, 7:30 and I’m up, showered and dressed already. On the up side, while I’m understandably a little tired, I don’t feel any other effects from last night. How rocking is that?

  409. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Although my feet are cold. Must find a pair of socks.

  410. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Seriously, it was an awsome time last night. Everybody there (here?) are such great people. And I apologize to all for my lack of sobriety. Honest, I’m not really much of a drinker… maybe that’s the problem.

  411. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    CD: cofffee
    CE: apple

    And before anybody comments on my needing coffee, I do have one cup in the mornings anyway before I move on to something else to drink. You can ask Cj when she wakes up.

  412. ditto Says:

    So, where is this Denny’s?

  413. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    We’re not sure, ditto. We’re hoping someone else will wake up and tell us where we’re supposed to meet.

  414. ditto Says:

    Back to bed then :)

  415. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cj took 56 pics and one video last night. She just showed them to me. Some good blackmail material in there :wink:

  416. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    My computer says is’t 9:34, my watch says 8:34. Daylight savings has kicked in somewhere.

  417. Cj Says:

    Good morning.

    Where are my children and why are there dixie cups all over my house?

  418. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Don’t you mean “pixie” cups? :lol:

  419. Cj Says:

    I gonna yawn and stretch and try to come alive.

  420. Cj Says:

    Pilot piloting pixie cups.

  421. Cj Says:

    I think I’ll pour myself a cup of ambition while I’m at it.

  422. Cj Says:

    Shower time.

  423. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ohhh, it’s time for a shower with Cj…

  424. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Where is everybody? We’ve seen peeks by Ed and ditto but I think everybody else must be recovering.

  425. EssBee Says:

    It was 60 and sunny yesterday; today it’s 30 and cloudy. I sure hope it rains or snows on our newly planted radishes, chard, spinach, and peas so I don’t have to water!

    It was fun watching you guys last night. I missed the BLC part, but did hear everyone’s favorite DP moments and the live Jack MAN-GAN song. Sounded like a real party.

    Today = clean this damn house. We really need a wife.

  426. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m hungry. Somebody better wake up and tell us when and where or I may have to start gnawing on an arm.

  427. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    BTW, thanks to Dan and Michelle for the guava jelly, it was awesome!

    (I still want to know who posted as me last night. I know I didn’t claim to be jumping out of a cake covered in guava jelly, no matter how drunk I was. Cj says it wasn’t her.)

  428. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Honest, you won’t get into trouble (much). I think it’s funny. I just want to know who to beat upon :biggrin:

  429. ditto Says:

    It wasn’t me.

    I’d also like to thank Dan and CJ for last night’s party.

  430. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I agree, fabulous party. Dan and Cj are the awesomest hostes evar!

  431. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    (yes I know I spelled hosts wrong – it was deliberate, yo!)

  432. Lo Pan Says:

    Dan and CJ = super gracious hosts.

    I think my liver may actually try and secede this trip.

  433. JohnBoze Says:

    Well, if Jack can manage to edit it into coherence sometime this year, it should be a BLCyou can play along with well, Essbee…

  434. ditto Says:

    Any idea about the plans, Lo Pan?

  435. Cj Says:

    We heard from Jack this morning, ditto. I’d let you talk to Cj but she’s getting dressed (this is the bunny on Cj’s computer). Maybe give Jack a call because I know we’re suppose to meet pretty soon.

  436. ditto Says:

    Done

  437. Ed from Texas Says:

    Oh, that’s right! There was a party, wasn’t there. CJ, why did you make (let?) me drink so much?

    *cough*

  438. Cj Says:

    hehe

    Jack called. Said we are meeting at Denny’s at the 101 and Indian Bend. I look up address now for GPS peoples.

    9160 East Indian Bend Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85250-8503

    We are leaving shortly to be there about 10:15ish.. According to my count we have

  439. Cj Says:

    Bunny says we have to leave now so I guess we’ll be there 1st. We’ll get a table for 9/10.. so we have room to wiggle.

  440. ditto Says:

    At Denny’s now

  441. Usedhair Says:

    Hmmm. Looked up the address of the Denny’s on Google Maps, just for shits and giggles. Seems that Scottsdale is really close to Tempe… and Mesa… and Chandler… and Pheonix. I hear these names across multiple podcasts and somehow assumed that these places were at least somewhat more distant from each other. C’mon Arizona people. Really? Scottsdale is like 10 blocks wide and Mesa is like 5 or 6 blocks north/south until you hit Chandler? They may be tightly packed, but sheesh. You’d think you live in a nearly uninhabitable desert region and have to huddle close together to make life giving things like water a better chance at transport… oh…

  442. Nomad Scry Says:

    Somebody have a coffee for me. I am out like a light.

  443. Vanamonde Says:

  444. Cj Says:

    Everyone got to Denny’s before us!

    That was made of awesome. I must say.

    I’m gonna miss you guys!

  445. Ed from Texas Says:

    Well, I have made it to the airport. Got the car turned in two minutes before it was due. But now my flight has been delayed for about two and a half hours.

    Bleach….

  446. Ed from Texas Says:

    Looks like high winds in New York have been delaying flights out. That’s where my plane is coming from. At least I don’t have to worry about a connection.

  447. Ed from Texas Says:

    Well, at least I find myself sitting under a wifi router so I have excellent signal.

  448. Ed from Texas Says:

    Finally on board. Did get to use my droid as a boarding pass for the first time. Goodbye AZ.

  449. Ed from Texas Says:

    At last on the ground.

  450. Dan Shaurette Says:

    1. Jack Mangan, you’ve really got yer shit together. Srsly! I mean, I only had to travel a few miles to hang with everyone. But your are so awesome, folks will come from neighboring countries to bask in the Mangan awesome. That and the guava jelly.
    2. Danthol and CJ are the most awesome hosts evar. They never fail to impress. Sweeter and cooler folks you’ll never find. I’m lucky and happy to call them friends.
    3. It was a blast to meet Lo Pan, Ditto & Mrs. Ditto, and Ed from Texas in person. Wish I could have stayed longer to hang out wich’ya’ll.
    4. It was great to see Rhettro, Lejon & Mrs.FromChandler, Amy, and TEB again. Let’s do this all again real soon now.
    5. Oden is just a pleasure to hang out with. She likes to lurk in the background, too, but she’s no wallflower.
    6. Danthol was cooking MC’s like a pound of bacon! I finally gained an appreciation for Vanilla Ice. It took the raw awesome of Danthol to help me see the light.
    7. I think my favorite memory of the weekend was playing Rock Sugar for everyone and seeing the reactions from the musical mashups.
    8. I really wish I could have hung out longer than I did. One day, hell one weekend isn’t enough!
    9. Thank you all for coming out to my book signing. Jack had mentioned such plans were in motion — but I was pleasantly surprised that ALL of you came out — and that means more to me than you can imagine. I suffer from chronic shy-authoritis. Yesterday was my first signing and it was a great time because you came out to support me. Thank you SO MUCH!
    10. This MMMMMMeetup was awesome, but whenever the next one happens, I hope more folks have a chance to come out. The community is awesome, because of the friendships forged here. I know I lurk in the comments here, but I’m always amazed by the pure unfiltered awesomeness that abounds.

  451. ditto Says:

    Wrapping up the weekend

  452. ditto Says:

    Fabulous summary, Dan!

  453. Nomad Scry Says:

    Hey, Dan! Less lurking = more awesome, m’kay?

  454. Ed from Texas Says:

    Back at home. I really appreciate the 24 hour drive through at the Burger King near my house.

    Dan – indeed a nice summary of the awesomeness that was the MMMeetup.

    For those who weren’t able to be with us in body this time. Start blocking out March 2011! I don’t know if I’ll have another chance to get out there again before, but I think this is definitely a new tradition for the Pan.

    Man, I’m glad I took off from work tomorrow….er, today.

  455. Cj at Work Says:

    I swoon for Deadpan :wub:

  456. Nomad Scry Says:

  457. Nomad Scry Says:

    OTOH, HI Cj!

  458. Cj Says:

    Wow – a quiet day on the Pan.. what did all the Panites do while I was at work?

  459. Nomad Scry Says:

    Today is kicking my butt. Ow.

  460. EssBee Says:

    Today is kicking my butt too.

    argh.

    Morning Pan!

    Guess what I’m having for breakfast… a bagel with guava jelly! :lol: (thanks Dan and Michelle)

  465. reaper Says:

    Bunny, That sounds good. I’m a big fan of guava.
    Still got to work on FTP (food transfer protocol)

  466. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I had an awesome time. You are all so great! I miss you already!!! :cwy:

  467. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just chillaxin’ with my Goddess than off to the airport. I’m conflicted. I want to go home and cuddle my hubby but that means I have to leave my Goddess and the rest of my Arizona peeps. I don’t want the Deadpanmmmmm party to end.

  468. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cj’s totally rocking on the work front while I’m here. She is truly a Goddess in all things.

  469. Cj Says:

    :blush:

    :wub:

    I haz tired this morning. Drinking coffee with Bunny and being cuddled by one of my munchkins.

    I’m also sad to see the weekend end. I’m sorry I didn’t get to spend yesterday with you all. I’m excited that you got to travel to one of my favorite places in the world!!!

  470. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I want to thank Jack and Oden for the awesome road trip yesterday. Sedona is beautiful.

  471. Cj Says:

    Apparently, Pan cannot handle both of us at the same time.

  472. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ed, I’m sorry your flight was delayed. Hopefully the flight itself was uneventful.

  473. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cj and I are too much awesomeness for the Pan to handle together.

  474. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    When we post close to the same time, because we are on the same network, Wordpress throws coniptions and tells us to stop. :smile:

  475. ditto Says:

    And the pan is rolling already: )

  476. ditto Says:

    Stupid travel alarm stopped working last night
    Fortunately, we still have plenty of time

  477. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Have a great flight, ditto and T-Cat!

  478. ditto Says:

    You too

  479. Vanamonde Says:

    Well it looks cool:

  483. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Greetings :pan: !

    I’m awake, and apparently alive, having suffered through that Bachelor party and not returning to the MmmmmeEEtup… Kind of bummed about it…

    Safe flights to all heading home today. Sorry we missed the Sedona bit, had we only had enough time to come up with TimeShare points, we might have made use of it… Sedona is awesome.

    Usedhair: True, few blocks around here, but they are pretty big ones. Like the ones for children under 1 year old…

    Dan: Well said, sir! Oh, and in case I didn’t mention it, you have an Awesome Ladmo Tie T-shirt!

  484. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    So, this is daylight savings time.

    Who the Fuck came up with this bull-shit?

  485. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Sorry… Internal edit hasn’t kicked in yet…

  486. ditto Says:

    There’s an internal edit? I never knew I had one.

  487. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Daylight savings isn’t in Arizona. What are you talking about Lejon?

  488. reaper Says:

    Cj: I love tangents. they are often as good or better than the real conversation.

  489. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think I’ll download LLAP on my touch so I can listen to it on the plane.

  490. Jack Mangan Says:

    I can’t say enough about how awesome you all are, and how much I appreciate everything that everyone did to help make this weekend a fun, memorable, successful one. I’m floored and grateful.

    I’ll echo the wishes for safe happy travels to everyone heading home today.

  491. Lo Pan Says:

    No you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah it was big time Lo Pan approved. Everyone deserves congrats and thanks. Specially those who let us in their homes (you know who you is) and bought us foods. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!) Muchas damn gracias.

  492. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think Vanamonde must listen to LLAP lots, he’s always coughing *cough*

  493. Cj Says:

    Oh, Long Pan… you are dead sexy.

  494. Cj Says:

    For those who neither Facebook nor Twitter: I uploaded a YouTube video — Ice Ice Baby http://youtu.be/riVyI1FoxQU?a

    Pictures will be posted eventually like.

  495. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I have to leave in a little more than an hour. How much suckage is that?

  496. Jack Mangan Says:

    You’re already missed, Bunny.

    AZ definitely feels emptier without everyone. (awww)

  497. Cj Says:

    I think Bunny is hinting (not so subtly) that I need to eat something.

  498. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Yup, that me “not so subtle” :biggrin:

  499. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    TEB: You are correct, Daylight Savings Time does not effect Arizona. If I worked at a phone job where I only spoke with people in Arizona, I wouldn’t have said anything. However, I have to get up an hour earlier now because the rest of the country is who calls me, and they are on Daylight Savings Time. It blows.

  500. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    I’m thinking coffee would not be a bad idea… AND COFFEE IS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA… when I don’t have any…

  501. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Lejon, are you mad at Arizona for not using DST or mad at the rest of the world for doing it the stupid way?

  502. Cj Says:

    So, yeah… if I start going on about my appreciation for this weekend, I might get a little teary.

    It’s always such a pleasure to even know that I’m part of such a warm and loving group of people – whether in person or just online.

    For everyone that made the time to travel beyond borders (whether it be the country border, state border, or city border), thank you for doing so.

    I’m incredibly thankful to call each one of you a friend!

    To those of you who I met in “real life” (quotes because to me Deadpan is real life!) this weekend – ZOMG… you are so incredibly awesome, sweet, sexy, beautiful, funny, entertaining, and amazing that I will miss your physical presence dearly!

    Thank you for making yourselves at home in my home. You are all always welcome here.

    T-cat, I can’t wait to get to know you better.
    Long Pan … well, you know :wink: :blush:
    Ed, you are too cute for words *snuggle*
    ditto, I need more hugs from you next time!
    Amy, I love you with or without the cookies, but the cookies are really really good too!

    And, Bunny, my dear, sweet Bunny. :sad: Thank you for everything. Your delightful energy and spirit will be missed around here. You bring a light with you wherever you go!

    – ok Bunny says I’m writing a novel over here… I better hit send before she starts to wonder if she’s right.

  503. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Awww, that’s sweet. Now I need to cuddle my Goddess.

  504. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I don’t know how much longer I can post. My battery’s level is going down. Hopefully there will be plugs at the airport so I can post while I’m waiting for the plane.

    PS: Why hasn’t Cj eaten yet?

  505. Cj Says:

    I have a hard time eating when I’m veklempt.

  506. Jack Mangan Says:

    And those of you who could not attend, I certainly hope to see you at the Deadpan MMMmmmeeetup 2011.

  507. Cj Says:

    I second Jack’s sentiments. In Deadpan, more is definitely better. I can’t wait to meet the rest of you.

    And Jack, thank you for being the catalyst that brought such an awesome group together. While you would say it’s everyone (and it is) and that you aren’t the leader (you are) – the fact is that without you, several of us may have never met at all.

  508. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    TEB: Oh, I am SO mad at the rest of the world… Well, Congress I guess is more accurate. The US didn’t have Daylight Savings Time until 1926 or something… All to help the poor farmer who couldn’t get to the bank during banking hours. Now we don’t have an agrarian country anymore, and banking can be handled 24 hours a day through teller machines and online banking… Sorry… Ranting… Will Stop now.

  509. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Cj: Goddess of Cheesecake Awesomeness and MmmmMMmmeetup spaces… You rock lady!

    Because, Pop Rocks…

  510. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Nope. that one’s just as cheesy as it looked before I hit send…

  511. Jack Mangan Says:

    Thank you, Cj. And yes, thank you very much for everything you did to help make this work, from baking cakes to hosting to ordering food to carting us back and forth to Dan Shaurette’s event.
    I need to extend that gratitude to Dan and Dan’s mom and the kids too for the parts they played.

  512. Cj Says:

    Oh and ZOMG there was a concern in my backyard! Much thanks to Jack, Lee, ditto, and Dan for their very talented and enjoyable performances!

  513. Cj Says:

    Actually, I wasn’t “concerned” about the CONCERT in my backyard.

    -n +t … (typing with small child on lap and laptop over THERE)

  514. Cj Says:

    Taking my beautiful Bunny to the airport now…

  515. Vanamonde Says:

    Well the new netbook arrived today, and a quick play made me realise how much I’ve been spoilt with SSDs.

    HD drives are sooooo last century…

  516. EssBee Says:

    Van, I have no idea what you are talking about, but I try to do your accent while I read your comment and it sounds great.

  517. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    Safe Flight TEB!

  518. ditto Says:

    At the airport, waiting to board.

    I’d also like to echo everyone ’s sentiments. The weekend was a blast.

  519. Ed from Texas Says:

    Man, it was good to get to drive my car again today. Between my wife hijacking it from me last week and that anonymous Kia SUV this weekend, I’ve been going through withdrawl.

  520. Ed from Texas Says:

    Many many favorable memories were made this weekend. I shall treasure them for that is part of what life is for me – collecting memories. But, these are but a deposit. I will be back to collect again. And with these, there is no pie, there are always enough slices for all who want them.

    I hope more will be able to share in this next year as well.

  521. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just a short check in Pan. I can’t find a plug for my netbook and I’m almost out of juice so I don’t know how long I will be panning.

    Despite the fact neither of us wanted it to happen, Cj took me to the airport. Much hugs, goodbyes and “I’ll miss you” happend at the drop off.

  522. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Got through customs relatively quickly. Much more so than coming but, really, who wants to hurt Canada?

    Then had the greasyist (sp?) Philly Cheesesteak sandwich in my life. OMG, i can feel my arteries hardening as I type.

  523. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m going off for a moment. If I can find a plug I can listen to LLAP and Pan at the same time while I wait for my flight. If not, will sign on one last time before I completely run out of battery power.

    Back in 5!

  524. Cj Says:

    OK so that wasn’t easy. We had a little trouble with the goodbye.

    Normalcy is overrated sometimes.

  525. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    A plug! I found a plug!

    *doing the happy dance*

  526. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    repost (stupid WP)

    A Plug! I found a plug!

    *doing the happy dance*

  527. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I actually said more(ish) the first time but I don’t think WP like me.

    Well, THE FEELING’S MUTUAL WORD PRESS! *shakes fist*

  528. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It’s a very bitter-sweet day. Happy going home, sad leaving here. I wish I could do both.

    And no, I don’t want to be cloned because I’d always want to be doing whatever my clone is doing. I just don’t see it working.

  529. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    They are testing the emergency evacuation system here at the airport.

    “Please disregard the alarms. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”

    Really?

  530. Ed from Texas Says:

    Well, except for the “alarm test” sounds like your terminal was better than mine :)

  531. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Yup. fairly quite. So far the flight is looking to be on time too. Double bonus.

  532. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Actually, it might even be a little early. It has arrived and people are coming off it. I know they have to do clean up and refuel but still…

    I think I’m going to search for a washroom then we’ll be boarding soon.

    Won’t be back on today, lots to do when I get home.

    Until tomorrow Panites, be well!

  533. Lejon (Some Guy from Chandler) Says:

    My eyes never fail to read “Panites” as :panties:

  534. Jack Mangan Says:

    I suppose you could say that over the weekend we had our Panites in a bunch.

  535. Nomad Scry Says:

    I have reverse MMMMMMMeetup. It was a mite lonely yesteday with everyone MIA.

    Today kicked me so hard I fell asleep after doing the dishes. My wife had to wake me up to take out my contacts. And now i can’t fall asleep. While this amuses me now, I doubt it’ll be funny in 3 hrs when I gave to get up.

    LIES!

  546. Ed from Texas Says:

    Man, I’m glad somebody at that party want too hammered to get some decent pictures of this shindig :)

  547. Nomad Scry Says:

    Not so amusing now. Check.

    I’m sure you can rectify the oversight next time Jack and lick everyone.

    Deadpan is the way.

  548. Jack Mangan Says:

    Deadpan ist der Weg

  554. Cj at Work Says:

    Yeah. I second what NS said.

  555. Ed from Texas Says:

    So, my wife is looking through the books that I brought home from AZ. In it, she finds Dan’s note in “Lilith’s Love” of:

    Thanks for coming out

    And asks “Is there something you need to tell me?”

    Yes, the snark and appreciation for innuendo run deep in my little corner of Deadpan Land.

    :-)

  556. Nomad Scry Says:

    CJ – Which part? The German or the Licking?

  557. Nomad Scry Says:

    The deadpan pool pics of the meetup are fantastic.

    I should have known better with this bunch, but I never thought I’d find others who appreciated the [joy and horror] of Ice Ice Baby. “Anything less than the best is a felony.”

  558. Ed from Texas Says:

    Alright, after much converting, uploading, and waiting, I think I’ve got the HD versions of all the videos of Jack’s concert at Dan and CJ’s. I didn’t have enough memory left on the card to get all of the last song.

    The first for files in this search are the videos I shot Saturday:

    http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jack+mangan&search_type=&aq=f

    If you want to watch the HD versions, you’ll probably want to pause after you change the resolution. They take some time to buffer.

  559. Ed from Texas Says:

    Or, you can actually grab copies for yourself. This is my favorite tool for grabbing youtube videos when I find something worth keeping:

    Good morning from Texas.

  560. Cj at Work Says:

    NS… you really need to ask? :tongue:

  561. Nomad Scry Says:

    Cj – You are right. I should have known better. XD

  562. The Smarty Hotties® Says:

    Seems like the meetup was a good time!

    Not sure when Jack or Lo-Pan can give me the low-down (Lo-Pan’s Lo-down.. this needs to be a podcast/radio show of some kind) on the weekend so I thought I would come on here and see what you all had to say.

    Your Smarty Hotties® are really seriously hoping to be at the 2011 version as long as things continue moving along smoothly with Hughs treatments here. I demand that everyone makes the next one as well :)
    I also demand Jack licks the cake, ed and ditto again too. He should also probably lick Hugh and I as well I hope. I wouldn’t mind doing some licking myself *swooon*

    Damn I am making a whole bunch of demands here. I’m usually not so demanding. I’m just having meet up envy.

  563. Jack Mangan Says:

    Fantastic! I’ll have to steel up my nerve and watch those vids. Thanks, guys.

    Amy, I’m told you are a great houseguest – just FYI.

    I’m glad your wife’s sense of humor is aligned with ours, Ed. That might not have been the moment to tell her about your stumble over the word “come”, however.

  564. Cj at Work Says:

    I can’t think of this weekend without smiling.

    It would be awesome if you could make it next time too TSH! I’d love to meetcha!

  565. Danthol Says:

    Listening to the recording of the set in the backyard. It came out beautifully. I will mix down, separate, and send to Jack soon. Great stuff

  566. Danthol Says:

    Great quality rockin Jack.

  577. Lo Pan Says:

    Danthol was pretty well on fire. I swore I saw him grow 2 foot long hair right then and there. Should I be aroused?

  578. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I want to thank Cj for being the hostess with the mostest. She was most gracious to put up with me. I wish I could give her a hug right now.

    …actually, I wish I could give you all hugs again. Next time.

    I may be rather intermittent today, nobody does my work while I’m away so I have some catch up to do.

    did my budgeting. Came under in Arizona so hubby says I don’t have to wait, I can order my computer tomorrow. I luvs my hubby. Will be spending the next few days cleaning up this one so the file transfer will be relatively easy. So won’t be just intermittent today, but possibly for the week.

    My daughter has claimed this computer when I’m done. Must do a major cleaning. I don’t believe giving software that she hasn’t purchased which means no MS Office, No games, no… anything. Will pretty much back up my files onto my pocket drive then do a wipe of the computer. Of course, you do that anyway if you’re recycling the computer but I don’t think my daughter is impressed when I do it to her too.

  609. ditto Says:

    TEB: I agree.

  631. Cj Says:

    Speaking of clits…

    There was a guy at work last night that had to use a Mac for something and he’d never used one before. He came back to his desk and informed me that the mouse on the Mac has a “nubbing” that reminds him of a clitoris.

    “The mouse has a clitoris!”

    Yeah… I looked at him funny and didn’t respond.

  632. Cj Says:

    I need to get my lazy ass in the shower and take the kids to the park.

    Spring Break rules.

    I appreciate Spring Break for occurring just after the Mmmmeetup because it’s allowing me to recuperate.

    Watch the beginning of the Aqua video, then watch the beginning of an episode of Stingray.

    Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

  638. EssBee Says:

    Cj: I can’t believe that guy! If one of the men here said anything remotely like that to me, they’d be doing the hold-my-sack-crawl out of my office.

  639. Lo Pan Says:

    Ah ah ah yeaeeah.

  640. Lo Pan Says:

    I thought the clitoris was a legend. Wait no thats the Chimera. Nevermind.

  641. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Why is Mission Impossible II running through my head now?

  642. Amy Bowen Says:

    Jack: Thank you! :-)

    EssBee: Yes. Acoustic Psycho Killer was a lot of fun. :-)

  643. Lo Pan Says:

    Lejon wins.

  644. EssBee Says:

    I mean, a NUBBING!?

  645. Johnny Null Says:

    Little mouse in the boat?

  646. Jack Mangan Says:

    So you’re saying we should have covered Bowie’s “Chyna Girl”?

  647. Lo Pan Says:

    Johnny Cag…er.. Null wins.

  648. Lo Pan Says:

    I got a nubbing once. Out for days.

  649. Jack Mangan Says:

    If that’s how he sees the Mac mouse, then what does he think of the Windows mouse, with two buttons and a spinner?

  650. Lo Pan Says:

    A night in Chyna?

  651. Cj Says:

    I meant “nubbin” not that it matters. I did a -g and either my finger slipped (that’s what she said) or I’m in moderation. I don’t know.

    But yeah.. personally I have a several buttons…

    and a spinner.

    So… I’m a PC.

  652. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Low Ri Der

  653. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Cj, so, your finger hit the G spot then, eh?

  654. EssBee Says:

    I would place money on the fact that this guy at your office doesn’t have access to many nubbin’-s, Cj.

  655. Cj Says:

    EssBee: He’s an odd kid. He has a wife, so it’s her job to deal with his nubbin-issues. I just kind of let him be. I’m sure people think I’m pretty odd in my own ways as well.

  656. Cj Says:

    CIMM: If only it were that easy to hit the G spot…

  657. Cj Says:

    Enough of this silliness … I must shower.

  658. EssBee Says:

    I’m too judge-y and reaction-y, I know. Even so, boy would be CRAWLING out of my office.

  659. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    The Score of a Slow Reader:

    Started reading Paul Park’s “A Princess of Roumania” in early January, finished in early March: 2 months.

    Started reading Jim Butcher’s “Captain’s Fury” March 7, finished on March 15: 8 days.

    The books have similar page counts.

    I’m assuming one just didn’t catch my interest as much.

  660. EssBee Says:

    Keeping my G-spot comment to m’self!

    Lejon: I am a super-slow reader. I haven’t started Butcher’s Fury series yet, but I have book 1. I have been reading the latest Wheel of Time book for MONTHS. I’m almost finished, but I limit myself to reading only when the dishes are done in the evening. Doesn’t leave much time before I get sleepy.

  661. Lo Pan Says:

    JESUS CHRIST HE-MAN BOOZE!!!!!!!!!

    He. Man. Boooooooooze!

  664. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: It took me 10 months to read books 1-9 of Wheel of Time… Then book 10 came out 3 months late, Book 11 was full of glacial movement… Then there was New Spring (prequel)… I may have gotten lost here…

    I usually read for 20 minutes a day in my car at lunchtime, and sometimes I read before bed. Depends on how engrossing the book is. I’m about to start Butcher’s White Night in the Dresden series, which I will follow with Small Favor. I’ll probably move onto The Gathering Storm after that…

  665. EssBee Says:

    ZOMG, White Night is my next book too! I’ll probably just be starting when you finish!

    I love the WOT books, no matter how many have come out. I’ve read and re-read them.

  666. Lo Pan Says:

    That looks like nice quality unfiltered swill, Lo!

  668. Lo Pan Says:

    Oh I wouldnt dare open it.

    They make dry gin and rum too.

  669. EssBee Says:

    The bottle’d look cool on a guy’s shelf.

  670. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Froth filled the top half of the stein. The beer had been steamed leaving only heady foam. Schneider closed the lid over the contents and set the large mug on the serving tray. Fräulein Helga, the barmaid, picked up the tray, walked to the far side of the alehaus, and set the stein before Egenbach. The man pulled twenty Deutchmarks from his pocket and handed the bill to Helga.

    As Helga returned to the bar to get the man’s change, Egenbach popped open the lid of the stein and tilted the contents to his lips to drink, triggering the explosive charge that Schneider had set moments before. The pressure wave shattered all the glass in the alehaus. Egenbach stood up and glared at the bar. Schneider had left the building.

  671. Johnny Null Says:

    Was he drinking Low en Brow?

    My Dragon Age Awakening came today. Patience is nowhere in my name. I decided not to install it until I have my new computer. It’s already killing me.

  674. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Starting to uninstall programs. I have 5.3g free on my hard drive. I expect to remove at least 50 gig today. the same tomorrow.

  675. reaper Says:

    So, bigger is better?

    *ducks*

  676. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It’s not the size it’s what you do with it.

  677. Lo Pan Says:

    Thats a lie and you know it.

  678. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Actually, I find that size coupled with skill makes for a very fun ride…

  679. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    *ahem*

  680. reaper Says:

    I just got a quote from Seinfeld in my head:

  681. Lo Pan Says:

    Like a Mini Cooper, Lejon?

  682. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    More like ‘70 Camaro…

  683. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

  687. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    ditto: No… it’s just that my dad bought the LP of Mike Post’s music back in the ’80’s, and I played it until the record got heat warped… So, I’m extraordinarily familiar with that theme.

    That would be an uncomfortable place.

  697. EssBee Says:

    I see your *cough* Cj, and raise you one.

    It’s not about size. It’s about focus! If I can’t see it, I’m not gonna focus on it.

    *cough* *cough*

  698. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Lo Pan: I think a nice injection of billiard’s chalk will clear up that case of Golf Clap there… You might want to check into it.

  699. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    *blink*

    EssBee… I am confused…

  700. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    *cough*

  701. Lo Pan Says:

    Well EssBee, youd be well pleased with Chyna….

    I though billiard chalk was for external use only?

  702. EssBee Says:

    LOL x 2.

    I’m not confused.

  703. Lo Pan Says:

    *hack*

  704. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Darn it… I knew I read that label wrong…

    It’s so you don’t scratch *billiard* balls.

  706. EssBee Says:

    You make me giggle, Lo Pan.

    Label? On EssBee?

    *jazz hands*

    Does anyone know of a streaming radio broadcast that just does Elevator music?

  709. Lo Pan Says:

    But Ive had my pants on this whole time, EssBee.
    *wheeze*

  710. EssBee Says:

    That’s a tattoo, not a label.

  711. EssBee Says:

    You have?! Oops . . .

  712. EssBee Says:

    I’ll be right back . . .

    *gasp*

  713. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Speaking of just a label…

    For those who want to make an impermanent statement…

    http://www.bewild.com/auslontasl.html

  714. Lo Pan Says:

    *shock!*

    Lejon I cant get any to play so I can neither confirm nor deny if there is.

  715. Cj Says:

    Long Pan makes me giggle too.

    My house seems way too empty right now.

    So goes my quest to have background music…

  717. EssBee Says:

    re: Lejon’s link, and tattoo sleeves in general.

    My bumper for the podcast is no longer the gayest thing evar.

  718. Lo Pan Says:

    Yeah those were…uh…. what EssBee said.

  719. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    EssBee: I can see getting a set for Halloween, or for testing the water on how friends would receive them, but if you’re that worried about how people you know will accept a tattoo, you shouldn’t get one in the first place.

  720. ditto Says:

    The tattoo sleeves reminds me of a Big Bang Theory episode.

  721. EssBee Says:

    TOTALLY! That was a great episode!

    I agree, Lejon – good Halloween idea.

  722. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Of course… I don’t have any tattoos. I’m a sissy little nancy-boy who doesn’t enjoy needles or pain… I hear both are involved in Tattoos…

  723. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Mental Note: Watch Big Bang Theory sometime…

  724. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Quote from my office: “I’m waiting for the first fish to be allergic to water.”

    In regards to Arizona’s allergy season arriving, and being severe due to the recent abundance of rain…

  725. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    It occurs to me that my wife is more butch than I am… She has 2 tattoos, and wants 2 more…

  726. ditto Says:

    Needless and pain don’t bother me. I like tattoos. Only problem is that I haven’t found one that I would want to wear permanently.

  727. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Information scares me:

    Bull Shot
    Beef bouillon or beef consomme in place of tomato juice. It may also contain salt, pepper, lemon juice, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
    Caesar, Bloody Caesar, Bloody Clam, Red Wings or Clammy Mary
    Clamato replacing tomato juice, much more popular in Canada than the traditional Bloody Mary.

    From:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Shot#Variations_in_mixers

  728. EssBee Says:

    I guess I’m kind of butch-ish . . . I don’t know if I am or not. Lo Pan can tell you in a week . . .

    I think tattoos are more a enjoy the sensation of it than a being tough thing.

  729. Ed from Texas Says:

    That should at least be a thunder clap from you, Lo Pan.

  730. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    ditto: I’ve never been into self adornment. I wear a watch and a wedding ring, because I like to know the time, and I’m married…

    I’m not a fan of needles, largely because of my mother.
    She used to do a lot of sewing, involving pins and needles. She had a knack for losing pins and needles in shag carpet. My feet had an extraordinary ability to find lost pins and needles… Never been a fan…

  731. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Naturally, I developed diabetes… so I have to jab myself with a small metal lancet each morning… Oh the blessings of not having to do it after each meal…

  735. EssBee Says:

    Jack: you forgot nubbin’

  736. ditto Says:

    Lejon: I had the same problem finding my mother’s pins and needles. Never fun pulling those out of your toes. Ouch! I’m also the same way with self-adornment. The only thing I wear is my wedding ring.

  737. ditto Says:

    Isn’t that an Ewok song?

    Yub nub
    eee chop yub nub

  738. Cj Says:

    Somehow I think Jack’s the kinda guy who never forgets about the nubbin…

  739. Lo Pan Says:

    BOLEEEEEEVIA!

  740. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Wasn’t it Chandler who had a nubbin, and wasn’t that supposedly a third vestigial nipple, like the kind that the Man with the Golden Gun had???

  743. reaper Says:

    I’m not big on self-adornment either just have the wedding ring. I like wearing hats but my wife doesn’t like them so I rarely buy or were them. I love my jester’s hat in the winter, its so warm.

  744. JRMurdock Says:

    Jack: Don’t forget about the clit and the g-spot conversations.

    LeJon: Change that comment from: “Watch the Big Bang Theory Sometime” to “Watch the Big Bang Theory ALL THE TIME!!!! NOWWW!!! DOWNLOAD IT! HULU IT! WATCH IT WATCH IIT WATCH IT NOWNOWNOW!”

    I kind like the show. It touches a nerve :) Every episode. It’s loaded with geeky reference goodness.

  745. JRMurdock Says:

    It’s not the size of the clit… unless you’re Chyna. I still need brain blech to get that out of my head. I think I need to watch the Teletubbies of something.

    I’ve never gotten a tattoo. I’ve worked with too many old dudes with old tattoos. Not a long-term thing. I used to have my tongue pierced, so that’s the extent of my body-modification.

    OK speaking of work… shhhh I’m not doing this right now.

    Nub is a many splendored thing

  830. JRMurdock Says:

    What’s Nub got to do, got to do with it.

  831. JRMurdock Says:

    Might as well face it you’re addicted to nub.

  832. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Nub is patient
    Nub is kind

  833. JRMurdock Says:

    I would do anything for nub… but I won’t do that.

  834. Lejon (from Chandler) Says:

    Your infection of cheer is contagious. Dammit. =)

  903. Cj Says:

    I am quite irresistible.

    And I’m home.. squeeee!

    Once again I threw up my lunch/dinner at work. Ugh! So having a midnight snack so I can sleep eventually.

    Why does my tummy hate work lunch?

  904. Nomad Scry Says:

    Too much stress?

    On a different note, would someone please adopt some of my operators? They keep calling for me to make the machine run perfectly. Which is utterly ridiculous.

  905. Vanamonde Says:

    Morning Pan, I’ll resist that cheeriness oh yes.

  906. Ed from Texas Says:

    Morning, Pan.

    Just got finished reading Tee Morris account of things on his Facebook fan group page. Fans and friends will definitely want to give it a look.

  907. Ed from Texas Says:

    And, here’s your friendly reminder to wear some green today, lest you embolden the pinchers to take advantage.

  911. reaper Says:

    EssBee,
    I think I’m to polite to not add people I don’t really want to and I hate explaining “who the hell are those people” when adding people my wife doesn’t know. or being a fan of thing and having to explain what it was.
    I’m really have no problem with social networks…
    other than MySpace now that it is virus ridden.

  912. reaper Says:

    :( i missed lost last night
    *grumble*
    not going to get in to why.
    *grumble*
    I’ll just grumble under my breath.
    *grumble*

  913. Lo Pan Says:

    I did too, reaper. Must catch it tonite.

  914. Lo Pan Says:

    Hockey! So its amazing to me that Phoenix has 91 points and is only 5 out of the top of the ENTIRE CONFERENCE. Thats well done, ‘Yotes.

    Avs-Flames tonite! Its not personal, TEB. Just business.

  915. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    APRIL 2nd!! What do you mean estimated delivery is April second?

    I want my computer now.

  916. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    but I’ve already started cleaning my old computer

  917. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    *sigh*

  918. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Morning Pan! :smile:

  919. Lo Pan Says:

    No reaps, I closed my F B down a while ago. So youre not the only.

  920. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ve pretty much given up on the Flames this season, Lo Pan

  921. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think the only time I really use FB any more is to update the Deadpan page. I might type something pithy on my page then. Otherwise, I pretty much ignore it. The novelty has definitely worn off.

  922. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Today is looking to be a quiet one. I might even watch a movie after the noon news.

  923. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Today’s B movie is Copperhead.

    If the Pan is very lucky, maybe I’ll even do a play by play :mrgreen:

  924. Lo Pan Says:

    You cant give up, TEB!!!! Dont let the Wings in…

  925. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oh look, I forgot Mr. Green no longer existed. Maybe I’ll do this instead :alien:

  926. Lo Pan Says:

    Is Copperhead like the Anaconda films? If so, Im in.

  927. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I don’t know Lo Pan. Four point in twelve games is doable, but by the Flames…?

  928. Lo Pan Says:

    YEAH!!!!!! Just dont start tonite ;)

  929. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    IMDB says: Small town in the Wild West is attacked by poisonous snakes.

    Sounds like a winner to me.

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1027806/

  930. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    It’s been a while since I’ve done a bad B movie play by play. I think it’s about time.

    So after lunch, be prepared to be afraid.

  931. Lo Pan Says:

    Sweet! Mix of Anaconda and Tremors. I’m in.

  932. Lo Pan Says:

    OMFG they made an Anaconda 3 and 4????? Oh Im slipping.

  933. Lo Pan Says:

    ANACONDA 3 STARS DAVID HASSELHOFF???????????

    I need to change my pants. Scuse me.

  934. Johnny Null Says:

    I find Facebook of little value overall.

  935. ditto Says:

    Conference Call Hell first thing in the morning.
    Yea, me!

  936. Lo Pan Says:

    Ha! Its fun when reviewers blame Anaconda 2 for having giant plot holes. Um… its an Anaconda movie. I think plot holes are a given if not a necessity.

    OK! Promise now I’m done speaking bout giant snake movies.

  937. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I did see the first two Anacondas. I don’t think I missed anything by not seeing the next two. Although, if they hit my movie channel, I’ll most likely record them. I’m a sucker for B horrors.

  938. Lo Pan Says:

    Yay ditto! Er…. sorry ditto. If it makes you feel better I have an utterly retarded meeting soon to argue over allotted space on our servers. Blech.

  939. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Did you read the plot holes in Copperhead? Looks fun.

  940. EssBee Says:

    Wasn’t J-Lo in the first one?

  941. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I just got notice they shipped the speakers for my new computer. Great, I’ll have an awesome sound system and nothing to plug it in to. :ftb:

  942. Lo Pan Says:

    YEA! And she gets nom nommed.

  943. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Ok, I have work to do…

  944. EssBee Says:

    Yep, I saw that one!

    I threw a corned beef in the crock pot this morning and drove to the office without turning it on. Argh! Short term memory, I curse you!!

  945. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Without actually trying, I think I’m working on getting someone in trouble for the third time. I wonder how many times I have to say I’m not getting my reports before the job’s given to someone else?

  946. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Soon I hope.

  947. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ve slipped to 8th place (out of 12) in my hockey pool. *sigh* I guess I should be happy, I’m at least doing better than the Flames.

  948. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think I must have been tired this morning. I just realized my shirt is on inside out. It’s a good thing I work from home.

  949. Lo Pan Says:

    I thought you had work to do ;)

  950. Nomad Scry Says:

    I just finished watching Oldboy.

    Um… I’d heard it was messed up, but I had thought that was “just” the ultra-violence. Noooo, not this one. This is more/worse/different/something else all together.

  951. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Lo Pan, work is subjective. My work is subject to those around me doing theirs.

  952. Lo Pan Says:

    Burn!

  953. Lo Pan Says:

    Ah Oldboy. Never really did see that coming. No pun intended.

  954. Nomad Scry Says:

    I had a feeling about the first … surprise(?) which should have informed the second… surprise(?) but …

    At least when I finished Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, I knew what I thought.

    Tomorrow, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. After that, I think I’ll take a break from Park and Korean films for a bit.

  955. Lo Pan Says:

    Yeah those films are great once. After that I cant really bring myself to rewatch. Charlie the Beer Guy was the king of the Japanese/Korean shock films.

    Took me forever to realize Oldboy was part of a trilogy.

  956. Nomad Scry Says:

    Ha. I didn’t realize the lead in OldBoy was the NK team leader from Shiri.

  957. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well, I’ve done all the work I can for today since people have decided not to do their jobs and I’m not getting the reports I need.

    *sigh* This means I’m still not really caught up from the few days I took off.

    On a happier note, it means I’m most likely done for the day.

  958. ditto Says:

    Gratz, TEB. I wish I could say the same.

    Right now, I’m just dealing with work insanity. Reinventing the wheel is *so* much fun. We’ll see where it goes from here.

  959. ditto Says:

    Current “favorite” Droid app: Sports Tap.

    Looks like the Devils play Pittsburgh again tonight. Should be fun.

  960. Nomad Scry Says:

    Hooray for end of day!

    I’m going to go snore now.

  961. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just remember ditto, when you re-invent it, the wheel’s a round circle :lol:

  962. reaper Says:

    I’m looking for software that our plant services department needs (I think for a welder of some kind) and on the first page of the Google search I see this:
    http://www.emusic.com/album/Microbunny-vs-The-Straggler-Microbunny-vs-The-Straggler-Magnatech-EP-MP3-Download/11599337.html
    interesting… Maybe the company should have picked a different name.

  963. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hooray for little rabbits!

  964. ditto Says:

    TEB: No, the wheel is over-engineered. Plus, making circles is too hard. We can approximate a circle using straight segments and then rubberizing the outside. The customer experience should be nearly the same. Plus, we’ll make them acknowledge a EULA that says any discomfort is their own damn problem.

  965. reaper Says:

    Now your thinking ditto!

  966. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Hooray for taking wheels outside of the box

  967. Lo Pan Says:

    Im always “thinking ditto”.

  968. reaper Says:

    I didn’t know you spelled stalker with and l,o,p or n.
    damn dyslexia!

    I only just started reading. He’d only mentioned one detractor when I spoke to him in the early aftermath, but that person isn’t even a name in podcasting. It’s kind of sad that others have gotten on him.

    Anyway.
    Morning, :mush: Now to get caught up.

  971. Lo Pan Says:

    I always feel like, somebody’s watching you.

  972. ditto Says:

    Jack: there is always some jackass that is ready to jump on someone’s misfortune

  973. Lo Pan Says:

    Thats a good read, Jack. Tee puts alot of personal shit out there. And well.

  974. Jack Mangan Says:

    All caught up.

    Oldboy was fantastic, although I think Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is the best of the 3.

  975. Lo Pan Says:

    Mu nah muh nah.

  976. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just finishing lunch. May forego the news. It’s always boring anyway.

  977. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oop, off to the store. Hubby needs something. Then, movie time.

  978. Johnny Null Says:

    So we’ve covered both nubs and anacondas?

  979. Jack Mangan Says:

    Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking anaconda movies on my motherfucking screen!

  980. Vanamonde Says:

    CD: at the cinema, waiting for Shutter Island to start.

  981. Lo Pan Says:

    Sorry Jack. Er… Samuel. Er.. .Jack

  982. JohnBoze Says:

    Those kids are after me frosted Lucky Charms!

  983. Jack Mangan Says:

    I have had it with this motherfucking Leonardo DiCaprio on my motherfucking screen!

    (Lejon has a funny nickname for Leo – - I hope he’ll show up today and share with us.)

  984. Lo Pan Says:

    MaJackly delicious

  985. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’m Back!

    I have food in my belly, my netbook in front of me and my kitty on my lap. I’m ready for the movie.

    I will have to pause half way through to make sure work has nothing for me.

  986. ditto Says:

    CP: Go With The Flow — Queens of the Stone Age

    I enjoy playing this on drums in Rock Band.

  987. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The movie is Copperhead. It is a 2008 Sy Fy original so we know it will be good. The DVR writeup says, “A mass of copperhead snakes besiege an old mining town in the West.”

    It gave it zero stars. I don’t know if that means the movie is that bad, which is possible, or it just didn’t rate it, also possible. It can’t be any worse than The Chair which, I think, was the last movie I did.

  988. Jack Mangan Says:

    Right. Much Irish heritage. No lucky charms. No green beer. Not wearing green.

    Bunny, a snake movie is a great selection to honor St. Patrick.

  989. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    This will be heavy in spoilers so if you have a problem with that, too bad.

    Also, since I’m typing as watching good spelling and grammar is optional.

    Now pressing play.

  990. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Watching the end credits of the previous show…

  991. Lo Pan Says:

    God help us all

  992. The Energizer Bunny Says:

  993. ditto Says:

    OMG! She pressed the red button!!!!

  994. The Energizer Bunny Says:

  995. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    A man in a cowboy hat riding a horse on an open plain. He comes upon a wagon train of dead people.

  996. ditto Says:

    Back to the grind for me.

  997. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oh, one of them is not dead. Too bad he doesn’t speak english

  998. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    WE see a snake already. Tough guy shoots it. That’s it, movie’s over :wink:

  999. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Now enter the sleepy western town. Everybody stops to watch the stranger enter

  1000. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    What’s your poison? Really?

  1001. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The marshall is corrupt. Gee what a shock

  1002. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Jessie shoots, now tells the stranger to take the dead man’s place at the poker table.

    This movie has covered most of the Western cleches in the first few minutes

    A grand.

  1004. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Enter the blond bimbo.

    “The only thing that will kill you faster than a bullet, is a woman”

  1005. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    They just called the stranger a gringo.

  1006. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    He’s playing poker and not looking at the cards. Will he win?

  1007. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Who knows, bad guy called his bluff. Almost caused a gun fight. Almost

  1008. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “I’m going to paint these walls with your blood, your brains, and your balls.”

  1009. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    our hero is Wild Bill Longly, straight from the story books.

  1010. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “be careful with her son, she’s loaded”

    The pull quotes alone make this movie a winner.

  1011. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cut to… snakes! Bunches of snakes slithering across the desert towards our sleeply little town.

  1012. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Ace high. You’re a peach if you can beat it.”
    “Oh, I’m a peach all right”

    Table goes flying.

  1013. Lo Pan Says:

    This is fuckin killer so far.

  1014. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Henery, go fetch my horse.”

  1015. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I think Henry’s dead. Damn snakes.

  1016. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “There ain’t nothing more educational then a gun fight. Keep those whipper snappers right here. They’ve got need to see.”

    Ruples.

  1021. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “It’s high time we had some law around here. And that leave no room for bottom feeding curs like you.”

    “Hey, I’m dying over here!”

  1022. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Where the hell’s that boy with the damn horses?”

  1023. ditto Says:

    “Hey, I’m dying over here!”

    So am I. This is hi-larious. ;)

  1024. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    THe movie has so many cheesy lines, I can’t keep up.

  1025. ditto Says:

    I’m tired of these motherfucking snakes on the motherfucking plains.

  1026. Lo Pan Says:

    ditto wins.

  1027. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “I think I’ll stay right here, if that’s ok with you?”
    “You make the right choice, kitten.”

    Two guys talking. WTF?

  1028. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The barn is empty, everything is dead – including Henry. “sure enough, copperhead venom”

  1034. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The marshall is a putz

  1035. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    IMDB is right, the dead horse sat up as people were leaving the barn :biggrin:

  1036. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    When shooting at snakes, don’t miss and hit the saloon patrons

  1037. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Henry’s dead!”
    “‘fraid so, ma’am.”

  1038. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Little known fact: When snakes come slithering over a hill, it sounds just like a horse stampede

  1043. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I’ve got an idea! Let’s lock all the women and children in the bank vault. That’ll keep them safe.

  1044. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    A flame thrower and a gatling gun. That’ll help against those blasted snakes.

  1045. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “What is no one is alive to let us out?”
    “you’ve got a good point”
    walk out, close the vault door.

  1046. The Energizer Bunny Says:

  1051. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Here come the snakes!

    “The bastards can swim. I’ll be damned!”

  1052. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    During the excitement of shooting snakes: “It’s like licking butter off a knife, ain’t it Bill!”

  1053. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Just for the record, the CG effects for these snakes are about as bad as you can get.

    Murphy’s room is covered in blood so the whores didn’t board up that room. Another dead peep from snake bite now.

  1057. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “I never wanted blood on my hands but some men, some men were just meant to die”

    “There’s an old saying, you can’t squeeze blood from a turnip. Men like him and me, we have plenty of blood to spill.”

    WTF?

    …wait, everybody’s in the saloon…?

  1061. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Come on guys, my arms are getting real tired here”

    What is this, now a porn movie?

  1062. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    On that note, time for a break. Must check work e-mail and make sure they don’t want me. Back in 5

  1063. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    After taking a much needed deep breath, time to plunge back into the snake pit

  1064. ditto Says:

    Snakes to right of them,
    Snakes to left of them,
    Snakes in front of them
    Slither’d and thunder’d;
    Storm’d at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
    Rode the six hundred.

  1065. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    They’re sending men to their possible doom in search of explosives.

  1066. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Where is everybody?”
    “Dead. Remember?”

    The smartest people in town, getting the explosives

  1067. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Around here, it ain’t about being the killin’ type. It’s about being the survivin’ type.”

  1068. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Cut to the whores. One of them has been bit.

    “Henry’s waiting for you. You go to him”

    For someone who had a five second part, he’s sure mentioned a lot.

    Where did this twist come from

  1072. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “all right, all right, I get it. Dynamite dangerious. It ain’t like I’m going to drop it.”

    Snake shows up. Drops dynamite.

    Stomps on snake. Key twanging music.

  1073. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Filling the saloon with dynamite.

  1074. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Take her kid, she’ll bring you luck”

    Guys and thier guns.

  1075. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Saloon goes kaboom. A bottle of whisky survives

  1076. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Now the twist. Every one of them are babies. Where are the parents

  1077. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Holy crap, look at the size of that mother!

  1078. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    I love the marshall. He pulls the woman out of his way so he can get to safety first.

    Now he want so “tie the dynamite to the whore, leave her in the street. When the snake comes to eat her… BOOM!

  1079. ditto Says:

    Snakeskin shoes for everyone!

  1080. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Needless to say, the idea didn’t go over very well.

  1081. Rhettro Says:

    {nugent} She’s a snake charmer {/nugent}

  1082. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Now they’re going to lasso the snake with a giant chain and use the gatling gung to shoot a fireplace poker at it.

    Einsteins they ain’t

  1083. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Oh No! It’s a 40 foot copperhead

  1084. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    The chain was wrapped around his foot. Of course.

  1085. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    They killed the giant snake. Yeah! The bottle of whisky survived the battle as well. All’s right with the world.

  1086. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Here comes the calvary. Just in time?

    They will get the women and children out of the vault.

  1087. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    “Will’s got himself one more snake to kill.”

  1088. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Awww, he gave the kid Wynona. Isn’t that sweet

    Roll credits.

  1090. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Wait, where’s the “but one snake survived” ending. This movie was stupid, it didn’t have a possibly not over ending. Just the cowboy in the sunset.

  1091. The Energizer Bunny Says:

    Well it’s over, Deadpan. I checked my DVR, I have two other cheesy horror movies recorded. Won’t be able to watch them this week. Let’s see what the future brings.

    CP: Knuckle Down — Ani DiFranco

    This is my theme song, of late.

    That’s just my cowgirl alter-ego
    Riding on her bar room bull
    Dripping with the sweat of irony
    As the cowboys whoop and drool
    Shooting glances at the mirror
    To see if her scar is showing
    She is truly going nowhere tonight

    Lecherous old lady wanna-be
    Much too young and shy
    Flailing her whole life
    Just thinking she can teach herself to fly
    Vehement romantic
    Frantic for forever right now
    But forever’s going nowhere tonight

    Sick of goading her self-loathing
    She thinks, I think I’d better leave
    ‘Course whiskey makes me smarter
    And I’m happy as can be
    But please excuse me darlin
    It’s not you
    It’s me

    And there’s a dusty old dust storm on mars, they say
    So tonight you can’t see it too clear
    Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
    Looked like a distant ship light
    As seen from a foggy pier
    And I know that I was warned
    Still it was not what I hoped
    Yes I know that I was warned
    Still it was not what I hoped

    I think I’m done gunnin to get closer
    To some imagined bliss
    I gotta knuckle down
    And just be ok with this
    I’m gonna knuckle down
    Just be ok with this
    ‘Course that star struck girl is already someone I miss

    I swear some stuff you just see better from further away
    And I think I communicate best now, the less I say
    And I can’t dance if the band can’t play
    And the vibe is going nowhere tonight

    ‘Cuz somewhere between Hollywood and its pretty happiness
    And an anguish so infinite it’s anybody’s guess
    Is a place where people are all teachers
    And this just one long class
    And that ass will get you nowhere tonight

    There’s a dusty old dust storm on mars they say
    So tonight you can’t see it too clear
    Still I stood in line to look through their telescope
    Looked like a distant ship light
    As seen from a foggy pier
    And I know that I was warned
    Still it was not what I hoped
    Yeah I know that I was warned
    Still it was not what I hoped

    I think I’m done gunnin to get closer
    To some imagined bliss
    I gotta knuckle down
    Just be ok with this
    Gotta knuckle down
    Just be ok with this

    ‘Course that star struck girl
    Is already someone I miss

  1122. Johnny Null Says:

    So I finished Nocturnal today. It was an overall fun listen. Kind of like X-Men meets Unbreakable.

    Probably my biggest complaint is something I’ve been encountering more and more in books, audio or print. It should be a basic rule: Do NOT use the “but this isn’t the movies” phrase or any vaguely similar derivation thereof. I read a book that used that at least five times in two consecutive chapters. Nocturnal may have used it a dozen times. It does NOT raise the tension. If anything, it pulls your reader or listener out of the story, since it IS a story, not real events. Furthermore, it seems to become a crutch, as evidenced by the repeated use within a short span.

    That is all.

  1123. Johnny Null Says:

    We like Ani. I even learned how to properly pronounce her name.

  1124. EssBee Says:

    Just listened to Savage Love, Ep. 178. He covered the lesbian prom issue extensively, and suggests that people email or call the Superintendent and Principal responsible for this entire clusterfuck. He gives out their #s and email addresses on his blog: http://podcasts.thestranger.com/savagelove/

    I’m sure that they will be inundated with calls both pro- and con- prom cancellation.

    The thing I kept thinking as I listened was this: every school has queer students. The message this district/school is sending to students is so, so troubling.

  1155. Nomad Scry Says:

    While I think the situation in MS is stupid and wrong, I think that giving out personal email addresses to the bold little anonymous troll-masters of the Internet is stupid and wrong. From the little of Savage that I’ve listened to, he seemed smarter and WAY more conscientious than that. There has to be a better solution than to vomit a flood of idiot rage at them.

  1156. Nomad Scry Says:

    The Other Sister? imdb….

    Ah. Juliette Lewis is in it. I try to avoid her. I think someone or something did very bad things to her and she is not right and it makes me very nervous to be around her… and that is just from the TV. I’d probably run away if I met her in person.
