Jack in the place where you live
Now face North.
I Jack alone. Yeah-ah with nobody else. You know when I Jack alone, I prefer to be by myself!
Oh…. oh JR….
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-Yeah-Yeah
And the Jack in the back said everyone attack
And it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the Jack in the corner said boy I want to warn you
It’ll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
oR SHOULD THAT BE dEADPAN BLITz?
Caps lock off….
Holy Shmoly! It’s snowing like CRAZY out there!!
Oh god….
Gigantic white flakes!
Damn you, Lo Pan, with your accurate forecast.
I’m going home!
Just sixteen, a deadpan podcast,
Out of money, out of luck.
He’s got no PLACE to call his own,
Hit the gas, and here he goes.
Jack’s running free yeah, he’s running free.
Jack’s running free yeah, Oh he’s running free.
Snow? What happened to Al Gore’s global warming, shorter winters, and all that? I mean, I mean…snow?
Hey Jack, are you going to bring back High Brow Low Brow?
This is the new Stone Temple Jack, uh, Pilots song?
http://www.spin.com/articles/listen-stone-temple-pilots-new-single
I think I’ll pass
JR: global warming does not mean no snow. It doesn’t work like that.
It’s very pretty. If it’s like last week, ditto, look out! I had to pull over twice to clear off the windshield/wipers.
Stoned Temple Pilots? I’ll pass as well. LOL
Oh, I was afeared we were rolling into a Jack meme there. (To which I would lamely add “Enter Jackman”)
JR, the 60 Lines thing started out as a sortof Highbrow/Lowbrow without the burping. I’m not against the return of the segment.
hay pan,
got my beer, got my remote, and lost is about to start.
I’ll be in my bunk!
no, really I have to watch in my room. I’m the only lost fan in the house.
:tumbleweeds:
Greetings pan.
I’m all for getting welfare abusers out of Cadillacs :) I worked hard to be able to afford mine.
Like, JR, I certainly have no issue with helping those who need it. I find it disappointing that many of those who would call America a Christian nation seem to forget that there’s action intended to go along with that – meaning caring for you neighbor.
Well, this is a nice bonus – my cable modem has been giving me trouble and my upload speeds have been crap of late. I took it to Comcast to swap out for a new one.
Still had trouble with the speed, so I did some playing around with the router. Flipped some switches and got a massive increase in my upload speed and a pretty good increase in my download speed as well.
I didn’t need the cable company to throttle my bandwidth. I was apparently choking myself.
“Flipped some switches”
Ah HA!!! I wondered why my TV channel kept changing on it’s own this afternoon.
Stop that.
… and might I add -
Jack be nimble.
Jack BE quick.
I forgot what a simply damn fine song Bjork’s “Army of Jack”…er…”Army of Me” is. One of the finest bass lines evar.
One of the finest Jack lines evah.
Satellite’s full of snow – no LOST. Boohoo.
Her signal got Jacked.
Hey hey! Not only is the satellite out now (which means no TIVO which means no Lost) but the power is about to go out too!
OH COLORADO FUN IN MARCH! BWAQH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xfsdcacdcsdc
Oh and EssBee feels my pain….god damn this
In really important news (sorry if this has been said already) Joe BIden is in trouble for saying “fucking”.
Who fucking cares?
I fucking don’t.
Fucking retarded.
Fucking? Isn’t that a city in Austria?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fucking,_Austria
By the fucking grace of god Im able to fucking watch fucking Lost on my crappy fucking TV. Without fucking giving any fucking spoilers I just fucking wanna say that fucking Richard Alpert is suddenly my fucking favorite fucking character on fucking Lost.
Guess that would depend on context. Fucking is a pretty versatile word, you know.
And a nice place to live, I hear.
As the Deadpan has finely demonstrated while I failed to hit refresh….
RE: Captain America
I was really hoping “Captain Awesome” from Chuck would have gotten that one.
Fucking Awesome choice there Ed. :)
Feel free to get a little tingly….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9szn1QQfas
This just might not suck.
Fucking best fucking episode of Lost this season. EssBee if you cant see it Ill burn you DVD copy and get it to you before next week.
Before this I thought Alpert was a douche and idiot. Now I want to marry him.
This is the best Fucking set of posts this week. I can’t fucking believe it!!
Just curious, if Global Warming does mean ‘no snow’ then the warming isn’t global, or am i misunderstanding the term ‘global’ in that phrase??
Then fucking Colorado has no fucking idea what global fucking warming is
JR: You are making a simple, but understandable, misconception that global warming means hot. It doesn’t. It’s about energy.
Ed: Yeah. Tron Legacy looks cooler each time I look at it.
Night pan.
Oh, it’s gone all dark outside … this must mean that the sun is going out!.
(A parallel to – “It’s snowing … in winter … that must mean the average yearly temperatures at the polar ice caps must not be going up!” )
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
*thunk*
I don’t like Captain America. I didn’t like the Fantastic Four movies. So I shouldn’t care. And yet, for some reason, that casting makes me so angry. Ugh.
Worst part of the FF movies! Seriously!
WHY!?
But!
Ahhhhh…
Yo ho ho and a bottle of Jack,
Fifteen men on the deadpan’s chest.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming#Temperature_changes
“The most common measure of global warming is the trend in globally averaged temperature near the Earth’s surface”
so either the ‘global’ part is wrong or the ‘warming’ part is wrong. Either way, greenhouse gasses cause the entire Earth’s surface to be warmer in ‘global warming’. If it’s not, they there is something wrong with the name, its use, or the theory. Or I’m just really confused over the entire mess. :) Any of these are possible. Regardless, I still blame Al Gore for everything. if he hadn’t invented the internet, this wouldn’t be a problem. :)
Anyway, I’m off to fucking bed.
ScriptFrenzy is coming up. Which got me interested in the format. So I’m reading the script for Pitch Black. I chose this one because I know this movie.
But then, I can’t remember every line. So when it kicks out a line in italics, does that mean something special? I dunno.
Essbee if you want your lost fix this week, I can convert the AVI I’m grabbing to MP4 so yiu can play it on your Mac and upload it to a file hosting service for you to grab.
Good with your hands? got a spare 400 bucks? then YOU can build your own Cold Fusion cell:

CP: Should I Stay or Should I go – The Clash
this morning’s funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ0ue-XGl9c
SFW … unless they oppose silly
Van! If you could, that would be super-awesome! If not, Lo Pan, I might take that DVD!
Snow, snow snow. I wonder if Evil begins late on a day like today. I think I’ll work from home today.
Morning Deadpan!
Tron2 looks great. I see Clash of the Titans in our near future. I wanted to boycott it because I saw no evidence of Bobo (my favourite character in the original)
by hubby has managed to convince me it might be worth seeing anyway 
this is for the recording enthusiests in the
http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741
Guy recorded a street musician and then went around the world recording other street musicians for additional tracks.
It would appear that non of it is recorded “in studio”.
There was an owl in the preview I saw :)
BTW – that is “additional tracks” (instruments and vocals) for that same song as opposed to additional tracks on an Album.
Essbee I’ll send you the link via Facebook.
It’s a cracker this week.
JR, Bobo wasn’t just an owl. He was a character. I don’t see a real owl having the same personality.
I wonder what it would take to convince my hubby to see a doctor…
I know he’s really sick. For this first time, that I recall, in the entire time I’ve known him, he’s actually taking a sick day. I use to say he’d have to be dead before he missed a day of work. I think I’m a little worried.
Van, you’re a sweetheart.
We all knew that, Essbee
Sending good thoughts toward the Mr. Bunny
JR: It’s more accurate to call it global climate change.
Nomad Scry: As far as I can tell from reading the script, the lines in italics indicate what a particular character is thinking at that moment.
I’m UNofficially in for Script Frenzy. Not going to go for the certificate, because both of the script projects I have in the works have already been started.
Amy – Then the iitalics are … like a direction for the actor, rather than a voice over?
TEB – Kick his ass and make him go to the doctors. Being annoyed is better than spending a week in hospital.
So Fox doing their own version of Torchwood is scary
http://scifiwire.com/2010/03/john-barrowman-to-fox-ple.php
Nomad Scry: Exactly. They’re there so the actor and director know how to play the scene.
Off to a busy day of work and volunteering.
Scry, I can’t ‘make’ him do anything. Life’s just not that easy when you live in a box.
I don’t understand the box part, but I know you can’t make him. Even if you should. ;)
Perhaps I should explain. I used to be the “I can suffer it fine” guy until I ended up in the hospital for two weeks because I had pneumonia for several weeks before and refused to admit I was not okay. Since then, I’m paranoid about everyone else going to the doctor. I don’t go very much more than I did before, but I certainly keep telling everyone else that they need to.
No, I’m not a hypocrite. Much.
Scry, “When you live in a box” is just a saying. It doesn’t really mean anything.
But here, this will do: http://z.about.com/d/boardgames/1/0/F/i/life_twists_turns_box.jpg
I go to the doctor regularly, but then I have medical issues that makes the doctors mad if I don’t.
My hubby has only been a couple of times in the years I’ve known him. He only recently started going to to dentist and started with the optometrist last year (it was seven years between visits). One step at a time is my attitude. I figure, sooner or later he’ll add the doctor to his routine.
JR: Yes, global average temperatures go up, but your confusion is mistaking that for local scale changes. At a particular location, the temperature doesn’t necessarily go up. It is an average.
In addition, raising the global average temperature means that there is far more energy in weather systems. Since weather has never been very predictable, adding more energy means you’ll have bigger storms, larger temperature fluctuations, and so on.
This winter, storms disrupted the Gulf Stream and drove the current into the arctic. Adding energy to the polar region created a number of large winter storms that smashed Canada, the US, and many other northern countries. We got a colder winter, but the arctic “warmed” up.
As Amy pointed out, many scientists are moving away from the term “global warming” since the term is a bit confusing to the average person (pun intended).
I need more coffee. :)
So… basically, you are being a good influence… :) Rubbing off on the old man, I mean.
I had this beer last night:
http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/583/35157
Awesome, but evil. It will kick your ass. :)
Yes… I “rub off on the old man”.
I think Mike needs to revise his “14 year-old girls rule the world” theory. It seems it is 12 year-old girls.

Looks like a good one, ditto!
Wow, my job is hard.
EssBee: Do you get Schlafly’s in Denver?
I’m not sure – there’s a beer store in Boulder that has just about everything on earth.

I hate wasps too: http://i.imgur.com/1zA2M.jpg
Red Wasps = true evil
I hate wasps too, reap. Longmont has a well-known wasp problem. HATE THEM.
It’s a funny old world, due to async broadband it takes longer to upload a file than it did to transcode it.
I’m allergic to bees. Bees can fucking kill me and I don’t hate them like I hate wasps. WI doesn’t even have any real militant wasps or major populations.
I kill every wasp that gets in our house.
Okay Essbee, check your FB mailbox when you get home.
Best wasp eradication tool EVAH is a vacuum cleaner with a long wand attachment.
Vacuum cleaner vs. Wasp = ME WIN every time!!!!!
ZP gives Bad Company 2 a damn good kicking:

I use that tool on spiders jj.
…and I don’t care how ‘good’ spiders are, if they don’t keep themselves decently hidden they are getting chewed up by the VC.
Thanks, Van!! mmmmmwah!
I could never get close enough to a wasp to vaccuum it. I squeal like a little girl when I see them.
Growing up in Minnesota… I see Global Warming as a good thing :) That’s why I moved to San Diego LOL
But seriously, there are ways to correct the problems we’re facing, but there are too many crazies who prevent the use of Nuclear energy (a proven clean form of energy) and would rather keep the coal burning plants around. That to me it nuts just like the nuts who want a clean planet, but won’t allow people to do the work to provide it.
Anyway…
TEB: Yes, Bobo was a character, but who said this owl wasn’t a clockwork with pretty feathers? Hmm…we’ll have to wait and see. :)

RE: Nuclear Energy – GULP. EssBee = one of the crazies.
Nuclear energy supposedly can be done safely and far cleaner than we’ve been doing it in the past. US reactors were specifically designed for cold war applications. There are alternatives.

I’d be happy with any energy source that’s /mostly/ pollution free and cheaper than coal. I’m also good with drilling locally and getting the U.S. independent of foreign oil. This country could be a world power once again. :)
In lighter news, I was on Dead Robots’ Society last night. WOO WOO!
Although outside of second hand shops, I haven’t seen VHS videos on sale for years.
reaper, if Blackie Lawless tunes get stuck in my head from that. . . .
Too late.
And, wrapping up earlier:
Van, you are quite the gentleman!
Congrats about the Dead Robots, JR!
Bunny, I hope your hubby feels better. :(
Greek mythology is such rich material – - why not make an original Perseus film? Why remake a crappy movie like Clash of the Titans?
Dear Jack,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsoLb-E7oy8
-Lo.
PS: heh.
Its very important when watching the above video to note how much the guitarist pets his own hair. Very. Important.
So I need to ship my hundreds of VHS tapes to the UK? Hmmm….. Van make this happen.
LOL
What category for those of us who oppose Nuclear Power AND coal fired plants? I have noticed lately that the National energy debate makes it seem like we ONLY have a choice between those 2 options … so the rest of us get left out of the discussion.
JOe – Crazier than the crazies?
J0e’s stance on nuclear power: noble or chernobyl?
irrational or irradiated ?

Re: 4th Austin Powers movie.
really. must we.
first one was funny
second was was kinda funny
third was ok
but they where never good enough to warrant doing another
Van: Nice!
reaper: I agree. I never found the movies to be all that great, but the first was enjoyable. Personally, I liked “So I Married An Axe Murderer” a whole lot more.
opposition to nuclear power is like saying it’s better to drive battery powered cars.
battery powered cars use COAL from power plants to drive (worse pollution) and will create HUGE amounts of waste when all those batteries go bad and there’s no landfill that will take those batteries. So cars are damned if you do damned if you don’t, but we can’t all ride bikes.
Nuclear power on the other hand is safe and clean when you compare it to the massive trouble coal plants have had. They has also been huge changes in how they operate over the decades since the two (only 2 out of the hundreds of nuclear power plants) that have happened. And those two that happened, 3 Mile Island was only a close call. Chernobyl happened only because the Soviets had no clue as to what they were doing and screwed up royally.
That’s my opinion on nuclear power. Granted ‘green’ power would be nice, but it’s still far more expensive and not practical because people don’t want to lay down huge acres of solar panels because it’ll affect the wildlife. and we can’t drill for oil locally because it’ll affect the wildlife and we can’t build more nuclear power plants because people are afraid even though there are hundreds in the U.S. that have run safely for many many decades and thousands world wide that have also been running safely. Opposition to nuclear power can’t be based on what happened decades ago.
I need to stop ranting LOL
FUCK! FUCK FUCK!
There. I feel better :)
Jack: Thanks! It was fun. You up and running at home again? How’s the new HD? what’d you get?
Its pronounced “nuke-yoo-ler”
Axe Murderer = classic. He pretty well struck gold on that. Other Myers work pales.
I am also a ‘So I Married an Axe Murderer; fan.
I thought it was Nu-Clear. Darn. I always get that wrong.
My sinuses are acting up. I’m Sneezy today. I forgot my meds or I’d be Dopey and Sleepy. I’d really rather be Happy or Doc.
Me too — love that movie!
“HEED! PANTS!! NOW!!!”
“Like and orange on a toothpick! Like sputnik. A virtual planetoid”
Well cept Wayne’s World… thats till good stuff.
Lo: The first Wayne’s World was good as well, but yes, Axe Murdered was pure genius.
Id rather be Stoney or Drunky.
Wait those are Smurfs…
“Dude she started smurfing me. Right in the Smurf”
“No smurfin way”!
He makes me sad. Tho I gotta say I rather enjoyed his British colonel in Basterds.
Lo Pan: I loved that cameo. :)
That was a Bitchin Camero! Er… cameo.
The second Wayne’s World featured James Hong! Diss carefully. Those are still my favorite Mike Myers movies. Axe Murderer is definitely better than any of the AP movies.
Although it’s a damn shame the Sprockets movie was never made.
JR on Nuclear power. Amen.
I don’t know how the hybrid car batteries are for ability to recycle so this stat probably doesn’t but conventional used car batteries only end up with 1% waste and the rest is recycled. So maybe it isn’t as much of a problem but I know that won’t stop someone from leaving them in the back yard.
Whos dissin the Wayne?!?!?!?!? Not me sir! Tho without the Hong WW2 is just kinda…there. Not bad… just there.
Nows the time you dance.
Jack: Wayne’s World – a – palooza?
Wayne’s World of Warcraft
Dammit theres a movie there somewhere!
Wayne’s World 2 is the one and only movie I ever saw in the theater twice.
I even had the Hat.
The funniest Sprockets skit evar was with the 90201 dude . . . can’t think of his name. I laughed so hard, I almost died.
“My name is Susan, and I’ve just gotten out of prison”
I’m not ejumacated enough on Nucular energy or on the promising alternatives (solar, wind) to enter that debate. The image of Mr. Burns and Smithers also doesn’t help.

Fuck cant find the vid. Thats classic.

So?
I have a correction to make. Calling it “Global Climate Change” is NOT more accurate by any means. It the use of soft language for those that cannot or will not come to grips with the fact that Global Warming is mostly man-made. Calling it “change” can sidestep these folk, and it can save scientists from having to re-educate people every time the phrase is used. Look at how many people still get the term theory wrong.
