For the sake of balence I should say I’ve been rather enjoying the music of The Magnetic Fields a lately.
Poe….coverband…… *stifles giggles*
cUM as U R.
Rhett those bands are polar opposites…

I’ve only heard on T&S track ( on an episode of Rubyfruit radio) and I liked it..

Perfunctorily Psychotically Attack me Aardvarks Spook Androgynous Pirates?
All alone
Had a bubble bath. Now laying in bed (sans clothing I might add), watching the news. Have my reader beside me and my phone in my hand.
Might watch the beginning of the Calgary/Edmonton game in an hour.
According to the news Calgary has the 4th highest murder rate in Calgary. We’re actually doing well this year. And we are doing better than Edmonton which has popped up to third
They are now showing a Crimestoppers re-enactment of a guy who’s been exposing himself to young girls here in Calgary. It’s very strange watching them trying to act it out without showing anything
I really dislike the Fountain Tire commercials. They actually have the opposite effect on me in that the last place I want to take my car is there
Monkey
There’s a certain Flame that always makes me think ofthe Swedish Chef whenever I hear his name
Sans clothing??!!!
Yes after skimming your seven posts, that’s the point that stuck. LOL
Apparently it’s Kipper’s birthday. Do you think that’ll make a difference?
Hilarious link earlier, ditto!
It’s my way of punishing my Hubby for not being here, Rhett
Actually, my shoulders were cold so I did put on a t-shirt
I never understand the Score n Win. The idea is if a single player scores five times in a single game then some random Safeway shopper will get a million dollars. What do you thing the chances are they ever have, or ever will have to pay?
Dang, buzz kill. LOL
Burlee is in the box for hooking
Is it just me, or does that sound wrong?
“Perfunctorily Psychotically Attack me Aardvarks Spook Androgynous Pirates?”
THIS^
Bunny youre not really selling Calgary…
How about if I just give you this city instead, Lo?
The thing Calgary has going for it (besides me
) is the Falmes are,so far, doing better than the Avs 
Yea! The Leafs won one.
Bunny bazinga
What a shock. They’re fighting.
What city you give me?
Yeah I know. Avs be slidy sliding. Maybe Ill adopt the Leafs ;)
Too bad I can’t spell Flames. (Who the he’ll is the Falmes?)
GO FALMES!
GO CALRAGY FALMES!!!!
2 – 1 for the Flames, end of the first by the way
FALMES FALMES FALEMS FALMES! FALMES SOCRE A GAOL!
::P:
WHOOPS! Too fast…typing…smiley…no worky…must…reverse…thrusters..
Lo: don’t adopt the Leafs. That way dissapointment lies
The Falmes, on the other hand, are so far ahead I can’t even see them
Lo Pan makes me simle
I hate new makidyup words. Just saw a commercial for an herbicide that protected against scalaritinia (sp?). That never existed before. Where did it come from? Why now? Silly new plant diseases.
(already googled it so don’t need to give me a link. Just grumping for the sake is it)
Grumpity grump
The commercial told me I’m supposed to tell the world I’ll never give up joy for practicality. I figured telling Deadpan is close enough
Yeah, but I’m cute when I’m grumpy so it’s ok, ditto
Tru dat
Overheard at a hockey game, “difficult to do on the back end with that much power.”
Is this a hockey game or a Porno I’m watching?
Calgary scores again
Leafs and smiles!!!!!! My work is done….
Woosh
With the way they’re playing, I’m having a lot of trouble believing Edmonton is on the power play
Calgary made three shots on goal, edmonton made one on that last Edmonton power play
When someone “draws a penalty” do you think they use watercolours or acrylics?
Flames just scored their second short handed goal in the game. Really Edmonton?
Well deadpan, I’m calling it a night. At 4 – 1, if the Flames lose now than they deserve the loss
Night Panites
Night
as well from me.
Someone remember to get the lights.
*turns out lights, closes door*
And that’s all there is, there isn’t any more.
(Until tomorrow, that is.)
I wondered why it’s always dark in here.
Goodnight flooded basement.

Night Pan, morning Van.
ZZZzzzzzzz….
OH (overheard) while listening to They Might Be Giants earlier:
“What the — ?! Make a little Nerdhouse?”
I stopped buying Halo tie-in novels after the first two, but think I’m going to make an exception for this mini series:

Cat’s eyes.
Cat’s cradle
I was reading something earlier that said our eyes start to glow in the dark as we age. Some sort of buildup that accumulates in our eyes. But now I can’t seem to find any mention of this, so I’m left wondering if I misunderstood or if the information was just misleading.
That would be new to me NS. And as someone who has loked after an elderly relative, can’t say I noticed anything like that.
Dogs do though:

I think this is it… except I can’t quite decipher the medicalese.
http://www.iovs.org/content/43/7/2435.full
Lipofuscin – seems to build up in the body as we age, including in age spots and in our retinas. It apparently fluoresces, rather than “glows-in-the-dark.”
Well, that wasn’t as exciting as I’d hoped.
And, another fine morning Deadpan land.
Back in the 80′s I thought we were all supposed to get ready to glow in the dark.
“Lipofuscin” ??
I thought it was the metaclorins.
“Back in the 80’s I thought we were all supposed to get ready to glow in the dark.”
I seem to vaguely remember glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
… of course, it was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today
Yes.
Today’s breakfast special in the Deadpan bar is left-over meatloaf.
PRobaly has a better consistency than the Oatbix I had this morning.

Good morning DP.
Morning Deadpan *yawn*
Sleeping in is a good way to start your day.
After reading the comments:
Van, my husband read the first two Halo novels and thought they were ok. Better than most tie in novels.
Glue would scanned better..ah well.
+have
My vet always writes me a novel whenever my cat sees her. After reading her multi-page write up, it turns out I’m going to have to give my cat weekly vitamin b shots. Added to the other meds I give her, at some point she’s not going to want to get near me.
On a side note, her eyes glow in the dark
We have two cats, one very old. We SHOULD take her to the vet and figure out what to do to med-wise for her, but she absolutely freaks when she has to go.
EssBee, my cat hates going to the vet too. We have to sedate her before she goes (the vet supplies sedatives) and even then, it’s not good.
Really? That’s interesting. We’ll have to look into that next time.
Sometimes work is so hard.
Morning, Pan.
Mom is cleaning the oven today. Getting out of the house and camping out at Starbucks so I don’t have to breathe the ash smell while I’m trying to study.
J0e is doubly blessed.
It was interesting to carve pumpkins last night, one day after re-watching Inglourious Basterds.
I’m nit carving a pumpkin. Not decorating the house. The only reason we do the candy thing is because I buy a whole bunch, knowing we only get about a half dozen kids. Then we eat the rest it I bake with it (Smartie cookies are teh yum)
“I’m nit carving a pumpkin. Not”
Most people don’t know how hard this really is.
In a further effort to sell my city to Lo Pan

LOL, J0e. My phone and I have constant arguments over what words I really want to use
I wanna see pictures of carved pumpkins..
Well, I have some Fallout to attend to.
Oh, boy:

Is the “It Gets Better” thing open to people like us? Maybe we should make something.
I think so, Jack. There are some str8 folks who’ve done videos (Sara Silverman, and Jewel – but she might be bisexual). Sly B and I are going to do one soon, I think, or at least I am, and would be happy to post it as a Deadpan video if the community decides to do something.
I’m struggling with something in my work life re: this. My company is at the forefront of bully-prevention and I want to ask them to get into this, but for some reason hesitate. hmm . . .

CP: Bela Lugosi’s Dead — Bauhaus
*sigh*
As I Christian, I want to state that I FEAR the likes of Odonnell and these other extremists who are trying to support a government take over of Religious worship.
One only has to look at what happened to religious worship in NAZI Germany to see an example of NO separation of church and state. Yes, everyone knows what they did to the Jews … but few know about the murders and persecution that CHRISTIAN church goers underwent if they didn’t agree to tow the line for the Nazis. They were actually given OFFICIAL prayers and hymns, direct from the Government.
This is where this anti-separation bunch is trying to take us. I can only assume that the majority of Christians remain silent about this because they are either already AFRAID of this bunch of bullies … or they foolishly believe that it is THEIR own personal beliefs that will become the official legal doctrine of the land.
The horror.
I’m not exactly sure what O’Donnell and her ilk’s motivation are. What is it that they are trying to accomplish? Separation of church and state allows us many benefits, primary among them to independently choose our religious path based on our own judgment and not have it dictated to us via law. It allows us to participate in a pluralistic society regardless of our own personal points of view. Do they not understand that the government not having an opinion on their religion actually helps it flourish?
Here are some of the words in your post that might be offensive to O’Donnel and ilk:
independently
choose
judgment
not have it dictated
pluralistic
society
opinion
That’s extremely funny and sad at the sametime EssBee.
You’re so right, JOe.
Your first mistake is in believing there to be any logical thought system to the O’Donnell lunatic agenda.
Well, motivation could be logical, illogical or thoughtlessly observed. I suspect the the third category for her, which there is no defence against.
I’ll pay a $1000 to the person that shows me where in the Constitution, lunatics are barred from office.
The scary thing for me is that the Colorado guy who also thinks separation of church & state is a bad idea IS WINNING in most polls. This is the same guy Lo Pan talked about earlier in the week who 1) refused to prosecute a rape case because to him it sounded like “buyers remorse” and 2) compared homosexuality to alcoholism on Meet The Press recently.
That is scary.
Watching a movie called Mutant Chronicles. Ah Hellboy how thou hath fallen
Why is it assumed all priests have Irish accents? Although, in this case, Ron Pearlman has sort of an Irish accent…occasionally
I’ve actually watched that one TEB.
I’m about half way through it Rhett. It’s actually not that bad as far as these type of movies go
But, I actually haveto stop now. Time to think about supper, watch the news, then shower and read in bed again
ZP cuts into the latest Castlevania game:
http://toucharcade.com/2010/10/26/idos/
My nephew enjoyed that game…
Err, umm, try this one instead:

My Hubby just finished touring here
http://WWW.artesawinery.com/index1.html
I sometimes wonder about these “conferences” he keeps going on
Holy crap I lost a lot of hours to the original Castlevania, back in 198. . . 5? 6? ugh.
I played it again earlier this year and couldn’t get back to the end.
Viagra commercials are just weird
Laugh for today: more ducks died (approx 350) on a tailings pond (that’s not the funny part). The local news asked for people to write in their comments on the deaths. They broadcast two. One asked about a net covering over the ponds. The other…
“come on, they’re just ducks. You’re putting too much value on their lives. It’s not like they’re people”
That made me laugh, in a sad kind of way
Hubby texted me saying he’s “tipsy”, doing wine tastings on an empty stomach. I told him he didn’t have to try everything they had. I dint thing he understood.
He says they are now here
http://WWW.jacuzziwines.com/
No wonder he’s drunk
And how is wine tasting relevant to the education of high school students? Things must really be different in Canada. . .
I think the relationship is, once you finish a day teaching middle school kids you need alcohol
Actually, I think the conference doesn’t actually start until tomorrow. They did tour a school this morning and are now doing the touristy stuff set up by the organizers for the rest of the day
I think I’m going to soak my head in the bath tub

And Fletcher’s mask for his costume is done.. though nobody will click this link because you are all going to be going to the other show that Jack posts after this one, but I’m putting it here anyway because tho, I lack any artistic ability.. I don’t think it’s half bad.

Exactly.
