Text Unshow
And so here we have the first ever (and last ever) all-text Unshow. Welcome to Unshow #52. If there’s time in next week’s Deadpan episode, I will explain the recent Deadpan strangeness ’round here.
GO NORTH. EXAMINE ROOM.
Anyway, I have received most – but not all – of the 60 Lines Readings. If you’ve volunteered, I still need your 60 Lines readings – - or a notice that you can’t make it, please!
I also need your hockey tunes (That also includes my song requirement due to the Phoenix Coyotes’ loss at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. cough). I think we’re just about ready to shut down this meme.
I promise to say this joke aloud on the next audio episode (remind me), but I figured it was somewhat timely and couldn’t wait a full week:
Why is there an arrow on top of the Airbender kid’s head, pointing down at him? Wouldn’t it be funny if the arrow said, “I’m with stupid”?
It will be funnier when spoken aloud.
Why sure, climb into my spoon:

I have to say NS, I don’t know, unless you count St Georges Day (for England at least), but that’s not a bank holiday.

Happy Null Day!
Thanks for the 60-line reminder, Jack. I’ll have mine over to you by the end of the week. I hope that’s not too late.
A quick question — if one does multiple takes, is it easier for you to have them as separate files, or just a few takes in one file?
July 1st, 2010 at 4:00 am
The term “bank holiday” is losing meaning in the U.S., Vanamonde. My bank’s even open on Sundays now, which I just can’t seem to get used to. Is it the same over the pond?
In other old-timer news, apparently the term “Madison Avenue” is pining for the fjords. I’ve used it recently and gotten blank stares in return. Damned whipper-snappers.
July 1st, 2010 at 4:15 am
Van – Is that because England isn’t a whippersnapper nation like the US and Canada?
TEB – And is it CND or CN or ?

Also, in reply to Ed yesterday regarding DLC for Mass Effect and DA. I got some of them, but not the newest DA one. I was disappointed with the vehicle add on for MA. The vehicle itself was ok, but the you couldn’t save the game during the related quests. I found it frustrating to get right near the endpoint of the one of the quests only to die and have to play the entire thing over again. If I wanted my games to be like that, I’d go console
July 1st, 2010 at 5:36 am
Quite enjoying Alpha Protocol, although I admit I’m not very stealthy. It took me a little bit to get use to the save system on this one too. There are checkpoints, which luckily are often, so when you hit “save game” it saves it from the last checkpoint, not where you currently are. Luckily, as I said, the checkpoints are many.
Now… work.

Johnny Depp is a strong lead actor and can affect a believable British accent, but they should probably select an actual subject to the Queen for the next Doctor – - even a Canadian. The next regeneration should also be younger than Matt Smith, not older.
So to maintain the franchise integrity, the next Doctor should be:
Justin Bieber.

I think any reboot is an atrocity. We have become so inundated with reboots, reimaginings, remakes, etc. that we have a hard time finding any original material. I weep for the death of originality.
July 2nd, 2010 at 4:51 am
FYI – My recent viewing of Toy Story3 was the standard version and not once during the film did I find myself thinking, “If only this were in 3-D, it would be better.”
That is all.
July 2nd, 2010 at 4:52 am
Sorry, but there is no originality. The stuff we grew up with as “new” was already reimaginings of early generations stories, myths, and legends mixed together to make the stuff we grew up with.

Youre right, Usedhair. Its extremely improbable that Mel Gibson is a racist homophobe with anger issues. Thats never been proven ever.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:20 am
Wow. One of our local music “critics” really hated the Rush concert.
http://backtorockville.typepad.com/back_to_rockville/2010/07/review-rush.html
I think he’s a complete idiot, but your mileage may vary.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 am
“For a group whose self-consciously nerdy-fanboy status is based primarily on its alleged intelligence and complexity, Rush’s actual material is distinctly middlebrow stuff, a mix of smarter-than-average arena rock with a streamlined, vaguely New Wave aesthetic. ”
I dont even like Rush and even I had to say “Ha! What an idiot”.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:27 am
More “wow”.
Yesterday, in response to a question on Afghanistan, the chairman of the national GOP told fund raisers-
“Keep in mind again, this was a war of Obama’s choosing. This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in.”
Wow. Just wow.

J0e you just made me fall off my chair. And it hurts.
Like my faith in America.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:33 am
Agreed, ditto, but then do you say that people shouldnt review things they like for fear of similar results? Are we only supposed to review things we’re “eh” about? Tis why I love reading reviews and taking no substance from them.
..cept the ones about Airbender. Cause thats just nazty.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:37 am
Lo: No, not quite, but I think if a person can’t set aside their hate–and adulation, for that matter–and write a real review then they shouldn’t do it at all.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:38 am
I do agree about entertainment value though. The comments themselves are rather amusing.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:41 am
So, under Long Pan’s rules of reviewing, I shall never order a bowl of okra at a fancy restaurant then do a review of how poorly it was prepared because let’s face the fact right up front: I just plain don’t care for okra.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:43 am
What? Thats not my rule thats dittos! We;re different people, lady!!!!
Plus I love Okra..nom nom nom

July 2nd, 2010 at 7:47 am
Cj: That would be my rules. And seriously, if you order something you obviously hate and then look for every excuse to bash the dish instead of trying to objectively review it, then yes, I say you shouldn’t review it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. There are blogs-a-plenty for those. But when a newspaper has paid someone to review something, I think they have the duty to the readers and the material to attempt to be as fair as they can.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:47 am
I love okra too.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:50 am
Then its settled… okra ftw. Sorry CJ. Thatll be 10$ please.
July 2nd, 2010 at 7:53 am
Objectively, search for “I love okra” and “I hate okra” (quoted) on Google. Love gets 285,000 results and hate gets 55,300.
Loving okra WINS!
Not that their is anything wrong with that.

But you won’t believe that it’s true
They take to the sky
Southbound Pachyderm
Pinholes through cardboard
At the Sun
Passing the bucks by one by one
Leaving nothing in return
Watching the majest blow past
Speculating which will be the last
Savoring my piece of pie
And there is no reprise
They’re filling the sky

Beautiful sunny start to the day, Deadpan.
Have a busy day ahead of me. In-laws coming in on Tuesday, so I guess that means cleaning the guest bathroom and changing the sheets in the guest bedroom.
Have to wait on the bathroom though. There’s a big ass spider in the tub so I won’t go anywhere near the room until hubby clears it out.
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:56 am
I like brussel sprouts and okra (though I’ve never had them together).
There’s actually very few foods I’m not that fond of. I’m sure I can count the number on one (maybe two) hands. Most of them are related to chocolate (chocolate ice cream, milkshakes, etc. – yuck)
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:58 am
We had an interesting day yesterday. Hubby went to go on a play date, and discovered the back window of his car was smashed. Figured it was an accident or somebody was screwing around because nothing was taken and my car, which was right beside his, wasn’t touched.
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:02 am
Here’s the very annoying process you have to go through when your car is vandalized.
1) Call police – file a partial report. They will get back to you in a few days to get a full report (not considered an emergency)
2) call insurance company. Insurance company tells you to book appt. to get car repaired but also says they won’t authorize payment until full police report is complete. Won’t even accept partial case number police give you until you get a full one.
3) Call glass company. Glass company won’t repair car until insurance company approves (go back to step 2)
We’ve tentatively booked our car in for Monday but who knows if that will actually be able to stick.
Meanwhile we have a plastic bag taped over the back window of our car. I love insurance companies.
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:06 am
Meanwhile, hubby’s moved his play date to later today. Since we’re temporarily down to one car, that means he’s taking mine. I guess that means a B horror or more Alpha Protocol for me…
July 3rd, 2010 at 7:07 am

Van, admittedly, my “big” is usually a bit of an exaggeration, when you’re afraid of something, small is huge. However, even hubby admitted that the one today was quite large.

Here’s something to ponder. Hubby likes it when I clean the bathroom. Besides the obvious, a clean bathroom, I usually wear dark clothes and I don’t like getting cleaning stuff on them (I’ve had more than one shirt ruined by bleaching agents), I usually take my shirt off to clean the bathroom.
Hubby says that’s the real reason he won’t clean the bathroom, more than anything else… the view.

July 3rd, 2010 at 8:18 am
Hubby’s other guitarist is setting up a recording studio in his house so hubby is going over after lunch to help out. I personally have my doubts. Usually they try to play at the drummers home simply because it’s easier to cart guitars around than drums.
The other guitarist’s wife is due on Monday. He’s setting up so he doesn’t have to go far from home and can help look after the child. I personally don’t see her wanting, at the very least, noisy drums in the house once the baby is born. I know I wouldn’t.

Re: Smashed car windows: I had mine smashed a few years ago. It was one of six, as someone, or some group, had a fun evening. And in a fairly upscale neighborhood, as suburbs go. Thankfully glass was covered in my insurance. I was told it wouldn’t effect my future rates. They lied.
Re: Killing people. Reminds me of the time I was working a kiosk part time in a mall. The help was stealing a lot of product, so everyone got fired, innocent or not (including me). The district-manager dude told me that he would mail me a check at some point, maybe. I informed him in the nicest way possible that I would be leaving with my money that day. He could give it to me, or I would take it off of his person. I left with cash. I’m a nice guy unless pushed.

And as those unfortunate enough to follow me on identi.ca or Twitter know, I’ve become familiar with the drink known as the “Salty Dog”. Very tasty, and my new summer drink. Come to find out, it can also be made with gin, but I think gin is yucky. Yucky gin, yucky!

July 3rd, 2010 at 3:16 pm
TEB: After your description, I pulled up the IMDB entry for that movie. I *love* this movie review:
I just pulled this number off the Netflix queue for some light late-night action. Instead, I got a brainlock.
First came the beginning set up, then came the crash to a planet. . .and then evidently, someone said something to upset a Food Service worker, because an overdose of psychiatric drugs in the Koolaid is the only explanation for the following hour and a half I saw.
I give this a 7 ,not because it was a Bomb, but because it failed to make sense. And it failed–No- REFUSED to make sense in a spectacularly engaging way.
I kid you not– this movie is a nonstop sequence of lurid cheapo-sets, sophomoric humor, an absolutely obscure and bizarre war plot interspersed with some pretty good creature effects, battle scenes, spaceship crashes, adrenaline-pumped cyborgs, an alien pyramid, a leatherclad temptress who is the President of Earth. . .and the best yet: a 70’s Blaxploitation flashback!!!
When the movie ended, a lot of people were dead. Some deserved it because the Plot demanded it. Other were dead because they were too corny to stay alive. Others were dead because they probably realized that this movie was the end of their professional careers. And one was dead because of a mutant chicken.
The one character who I am NOT sure is dead is the President of Earth.
And P.S. This movie is NOT for the kids, unless you want to spend the rest of the night explaining a couple of frankly adult scenes. And if your teenager is watching this. . .maybe you’d be better off NOT KNOWING that your teenager was watching this so as to give yourself Plausible Deniability when being interviewed by Child Protective Services.
Oh. . .one character is killed at least twice, yet still appears at the end of the movie to be killed one last time.
I even think I saw a Ma’har.
Oh. . .it died too.
Plot Spoiler? This Movie had a Plot? As in a Progressive Story line? Hah!
Man. . .that Koolaid must have been GOOOOD!
Watch at your own risk.
I’m not going to watch the movie, but that review cracks me up.

Could be you’ll need to be in the right mood, but I have to recommend “Interstate 60″ for a fun little movie. Written & directed by Bob Gale, writer of “Back to the Future,” “Used Cars.” & “1941.”
Some very fun Gary Oldman & Chris Cooper in this one.
July 3rd, 2010 at 6:13 pm
Also, as might be expected, Christopher Lloyd in a supporting role and Michael J. Fox in a cameo.

Actually had a positive summer film experience, and at A-Team of all films. What a good, fun film. Seriously. Im aghast as to why, especially in this shit summer, its getting such a bad rap. The chemistry was awesome and besides the final elongated and shotty ending battle was really a well acted and excited movie. Ill also put its opening sequence up there with any action film in recent memory. Maybe too many people remembered the crappy tv show (it really doesnt hold up) and are comparing it to that. Its too bad, cause not many films do I go in dreading to see and leave in pure joy. Good stuff. That is all.

That is quite interesting that it appears to have been pulled down. With as much questionable stuff that makes it up there, I’m surprised.

Well, despite the warnings, we’ll be venturing out to see The Last Airbender today. The wife and I know what we’re walking into, but we’ve avoided exposing the kids to the news.
At least we’ll be catching an early cheap show and AMC has coupons for today for any size popcorn or drink for $1. So, at least I won’t to totally butthurt beyond the couple hours of my life I won’t be getting back.

Survived Airbender. There are worse ways to blow a couple of hours. I wouldn’t recommend it at all to someone who wasn’t already familiar with the cartoon series. The movie does not stand well on its own.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I’d pay to watch the drinking of fire…
July 4th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I’ve also got to say that Airbender was proceeded by the most lackluster collection of movie trailers I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t say anything I saw told me I had to come back to see them.
July 4th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Yeah theres really only 3 more film I want to see in the theater this summer – Predators, Inception, and The Expendables. I missed Splice which I actually really really wanted to see. Ed I had the same trailer experience. Its all just meh.

The Expendables trailer looks really disappointing. You’re really going to assemble that cast and make a straight action movie? Really? This was an opportunity for 2010’s Snakes on a Plane. Oh well.
Thank you everyone for your 60 Lines. We’re almost there.

Hey guys and girls. My mom & dad left a while ago and we napped. I should be working in the yard, but I can’t muster the energy.
We watched Green Zone last night via PlayStation Network. The download took for-evar, and the movie was a big bleh. The barbeque was wonderful, though.

I always loved seeing the fireworks over lake Michigan in Chicago, but I have to say San Franciscos display on the fishermans wharf was beautiful. Hugh felt up to attending which was awesome in itself, and the show was very well done for being just a bunch of lights in the sky!
We have some of his family in town and they had a great time at the festivities all day at the piers. Lots of stuff for the kiddies and live music and food and all kinds of stuff.
Hope everyone is doing well today… time to get ready for yoga here

Morning, DP!
Van, every TV thing was put on hold this weekend for July 4th. Boo.
Sly B and I played Rock Band last night, and we did so well, the neighborhood was cacophonous with fireworks until about 1 a.m. Yawn.
Now to treat today like a Sunday and do laundry and clean the house.

July 5th, 2010 at 6:45 am
It was my second 4th of July in Florida, but spent very differently with different lessons learned.
Year 1: Upstate New York is very “rolling”. What we have wouldn’t be considered mountains by people in the Rockies, but they’re close enough for us. Central Florida is flat, flat, flat. Last year I was staying in a long-stay hotel while searching for a house so I could bring down the rest of the family. I figured I would simply walk around outside for a while and be able to see all the fireworks because it was so flat. Wrong. I was not in a residential neighborhood, so all the fireworks were pretty far away from me. As it turns out, when you live in a really flat place, every tree and building in the area block out EVERYTHING you think you should be able to see. I head, but did not see any fireworks that year.
Year 2: Fireworks are illegal in NY, and legal in FL. I’m used to needing to go to a park that is having a sanctioned fireworks display to see a fireworks show. With the amount of crap that went up on Saturday night, we correctly guessed that there was no need for this here. Last night we had a BBQ with some neighbors and watched as nearly every house down every street (we live on a corner house, so we have a good view) stated setting off all the same stuff we see at professional displays. No traffic, no hassles when it rains, simply wait until the last drop hits the ground and people are at it again. We didn’t really have problems with noise late at night either. They seemed to be done by 10:30 or so.
I think we’re going to like it down here.

Just got back from watching Toy Story 3 and The Last Air Bender with my 13 year old daughter. Toy Story 3 was every bit as fantastic as we expected, and Last Air Bender stank to high heaven. My daughter likes nearly everything, but even she hated this movie. If you watched and loved the animated series (or like her… watched all 3 seasons 7 or 8 times) you WILL NOT like what they have done to it.
July 5th, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I really enjoyed the final 10 minutes of Toy Story 3. Without that, it would still have been good, but still not nearly as great as the first 2. I hope they let it end there.

I have a thing, maybe even a fetish you could say, for talking inanimate objects. Talking toys, talking furniture, even making animals talk for some reason always gets me. I absolutely adored Fantasia and Brave Little Toaster as a child. Obsessively LOVED those movies. So Toy story is a definite watch for me. I will indeed bring a hanky.

“A better Cure? Like if Robert Smith was more sober?” In no way is that a better Cure
July 6th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
A better Cure would erase the song “Friday, I’m in Love” from existence.
July 6th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
True. But would keep Disintegration for always
July 6th, 2010 at 7:36 pm
I love me some Lacuna Coil. And I would marry Christina Scabbia if that fuckflake from Slipknot hadnt defiled her first.
July 6th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
It would kind of suck if a better Cure existed. I wouldn’t know of them if it weren’t for “Friday, I’m in Love.”

Rhettro: Have a good time in San Diego! :-)
Cj: Yay for good new job experiences! :-)
Today was Day One for me, not at a new job, but at a new work site. It was good, but not great. I miss having a bulletin board and an extra monitor, but I actually like having so many other people around with whom to share a common goal. I really appreciate the presence and advice of some other people who have been working on this database project for longer than I have, too.

The Cure do have a ton of fantastic material, especially – but not limited to – the Disintegration album.

I loves the Cure, but agree that Friday is very pop-ish. To be honest, they did the same thing in the 80s with Love Cats. The joke at the time was that they needed to release a pop hit every decade just to replace the fans that uh… were no longer around. :)

It’s just a jump to the left
and then a step to the right
put your hands on your hips
and pull your knees in tight.
Take me by my little hand
and go like this.
’cause Jesus he knows me
and he knows I’m right.
Your own personal Jesus;
Someone to hear your prayers.
If you fall, I will catch you.
I’ll be waiting.
