+awwwwwww…
That’s an interesting point. When I was a teen having my “crisis of faith” I was impatiently annoyed with my classmates who believed without any “why”. (Went to religious private schools) I was constantly trying to get them to examine their faiths… I wasn’t very popular. Haha.
Tonight is going to suck. I should have been asleep hours ago.
and TEB: Awwww!
*hugs* Scry. Now go to sleep.
CP: The Devil In Stitches — Bad Religion
CP: Even Flow — Pearl Jam
Software sucks.
EssBee: Did you see that Wil Wheaton will be doing the audiobook for Scalzi’s “Agent To The Stars”? I really enjoyed that book so I’m sure you’ll enjoy Wil’s reading.
WHEEEEEEEEETOOOOOON!
What’d I miss these last 18 days?
dunno
I still owe you a call too
i just got done with a 2 hour meeting and now it is 68 in my office.
again well played robots well played
Wow, sorry for the long delay, Bunny (and ditto). Your comments are freed.
Oddly, there was one of mine in the spam filter too.
Getting some open source stuff to work is like sticking your hand in an open car door and slamming it closed on your hand. Repeatedly.
Jack: No problem.
I’ll have the eggs, spam, spam, and eggs.
135 comments to go to meet Bunny’s decree.
Yes you do sir!!! Especially the heavy breathing type.
Thanks, ditto – I put that on my wish list!
I think I’m getting scammed on Craig’s List. I HATE that.
I don’t like SPAM!!!
But I can stand JAM!
C: Frustrated as hell with work. Taking junk home tonight, as is the new custom.
Wish I could keep contributing to the comment count – maybe I will as I work later on. If not, BFPs all around.
“Three days ago I died. And they think I’m fine. But they’re wrong.”
Spam Craig’s List and Spam.
Oh crap, CNN let the cat out of the bag. Metal is for nerds.

I pretty much agree with the assessment.
I also missed one question – the one with John Edwards.
Ten years ago, I’d have done well to get three of them. But, that’s largely because I’ve been more active in the study of my own faith, particularly with how it compares to the beliefs of others.
I’m not surprised by the general lack of knowledge, but I’m certainly disappointed at how poorly people did with questions regarding the faith they claim to espouse.
So, how many more comments to we need to come up with tonight?
I’m in the mood for some snark as I had to work late today – some guys from another department and I had to work all day to come up with a solution because of a mistake by a third department.
Thankfully, though, I’ve now got this bottle in front of me.
So, had Deadpan expressed an opinion on Lucas plan to re-release the Star Wars movies in THREEE DEEEE!!!!
Buzzz, Buzz, bu buzzz buzzzzz buzzz buzzzz…..
Hmm, apparently I’m on my own tonight.
Eh, 1240 – 1083 mean there’s …. hang on.
157 more comments?
Required to beat last September?
Well, fumdar, how am I going to manage that?
Probably will have to keep comments short.
A game perhaps?
Of course, being a good 80′s kid, I immediately recall:
“Shall we play a game?”
The only winning move is not to play.
Wait, did I just declare myself a loser?
‘Cause I’m definitely a playa…
I wonder what the FTB’s threshold is for posting too quickly.
Hmm, wonder if Wargames would be a Palooza worthy consideration.
Let’s play Global Thermonuclear War
Well, there’s something our kids are not likely to identify with.
Three more to make 1100. I can do at least that much for the cause.
Of course, I’m also slowly working on getting Wingin’ It 69 to make the 2000 comment threshold.
It’s vaguely disturbing to think that show was some four years ago.
And yet, here we are, on the verge of Deadpan 182.
Wonder if we’ll get a reference in the new show:

Back when Kim Katrall was pretty hot.
D’oh, Cattrall, even.
But, then, we already knew that, didn’t we?
http://www.imdb.com/media/rm875534336/tt0090728
I did not realize she was in Police Academy…hmmm.
4.9 seems generous for this one….which means, yes, I did see it back in the day.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093493/
Only 7.2 for this one?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102975/
COME ON!
Well, how about that. Happy Birthday, Chuck!

Mass Effect being made into a movie? Not quite sure how I feel about that.

Every five year old needs their own computer, don’t they?
At least so they’ll stop fighting with their older sister over who gets to play on the computer?
Funny, I don’t remember fighting with my younger brother over computer time.
Oh, yeah…..
Of course I’m posting too quickly, FTB! We’re on a mission from God, or TEB at least.
Anyway, we didn’t get our first computer until the early 80′s. The might Commodore 64
Started off using a tape recorder for “storage”
later upgraded to the actual Commodore version. The computer would activate the drive mechanism, so I didn’t have to hit the “play” button when I wanted to load a program.
Eventually, we got the mighty 128kb 5.25″ floppy drive.
The box for that drive was as big as the Commodore 64 itself and about as quick as molasses.
My dad would play Flight Simulator (back when it was by SUBLogic). Took 2 minutes and 15 seconds to load. I remember it would always start the count down timer on the screen when he would load it.
My mistake, it was subLOGIC, mutha fucka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubLOGIC
I guess it must have been 1984 when my dad played fight sim, then.
of course, the first word processor I used was called Speedscript. My dad typed it in – 15 pages of code in the back of a computer magazine. Was it BYTE? Don’t remember, but that was a common way to aquire software then.
I used it to write my science fair report in 7th grade. It was about a 10 page report and the Commodore 1250 printer we got took 30 minutes to print those 10 pages.
We checked over that first printout very carefully and made corrections before locking up the computer for another 30 minutes for that final printout.
Strange the memories like that which have stuck with me through the years.
1240, eh? At 1126 now. Not looking too promising.
Of course, I’m probably putting to much thought and effort into these comments.
It’s hard to try to shift from quality to quantity. Just not my style.
Shit.
FTB seems hell bent on preventing me from commenting at a rate adequate to succeed.
Finally managed to use my free $5 WOOT coupon.
So, the saying:
“Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first”
Is that a regional thing, or fairly universal?
Around here, it’s not uncommon to respond with that when someone declares
“I wish [something”
Hmm, definitely a quiet hump day night around here.
“hump day night”
Seriously?
You know, strictly speaking, We still have tomorrow as part of September.
I wonder how TEB scores that when she comes up with here monthly totals.
Does she count the actual comments over the course of days, or just take the weekly totals for the podcasts uploaded during the month.
Could all this be a waste of time? Will the 200+ comments we’ll get tomorrow for a fresh Deadpan count for September?
Better safe than sorry, I suppose.
99 bottles of beer on the wall…..
No, no, I’m not going to resort to that.
BTW – TRON had better not suck. There will be blood running in the streets if it does.
Ha ha:
When the cashier at the grocer weighs your singular bulb of garlic @ $7, find a diplomatic way to tell her to remove her massive breast from the scale as she weighs it. #LFMF
That’s a good point.
Which begs the question – would such a breast be able to repel vampires?
DITTO!
ED!
I believe I have made it perfectly clear that I really don’t need a new camera, yes?
No, I don’t believe you did.
You like camera, yes?
darn, apparently I’ve still got some convincing to do.
I better hurry, the D7000 starts shipping in October.
FYI – You are not a real boy of the 80′s if you did not at some time lust after this:
http://www.justinssite.com/images/1982%20Lamborghini%20Countach%20navy%20fsv=KRM.jpg
Click
Though, according to the guys at Top Gear, it sounds like it was a rather miserable thing actually own and operate.
Vrrrooooom
Still, the Countach was the quit quintessential 80′s supercar.
Nothing else Lamborghini produced after this ever quite struck the same cord.
Countach Chocula?
Although, this one does come awfully close:
http://www.blancpain.com/e/news/gallardo_blancpain
I broke the pan
Night pan
Though, I must confess, I’ve never heard of Blancpain.
Later, ditto.
Though, really, doesn’t “Blancpain” sound more like the name of a band TSH would listen to?
I really should go to bed.
73 more to go?
Shit, I say, shit.
Can we draft this guy for president?
