And it’s dark in here… really dark.
whoa, I hit enter and someone tripped the sensor and the lights came on.
weird!
My mom gave me a desk lamp for Christmas and it has a speaker and a place to plug in my mp3 player, but I forgot to bring it to work today. It will come in handy once I get it here though.
The sales floor is sending people home early this morning so … chances are they expect it to be slow again today.
Dan worked a full day yesterday though – no sending of the troops home.
I’m going to take a lunch today and go shopping though. Woot!
Morning, DP. Sly B and I are both felled with some kind of devil flu. Ugh.
Oh no! Evil Devil flu begone!
off with you!
Get better, you two! I know nothing about hockey, but getting a flu from New Jersey can’t be pleasant.
My wife, daughter, and I watched the Dr. Who special before turning in last night. At least something this year managed to live up to the hype :)
I need to know, those of you with kids, if you think a 5 and 7 year old can sit through TRON?
Never mind – looks like it’s for about age 10 and up. I think my kids would be easily bored with the scenes between the fighting sequences.
LOL
Gonna show them the original at home and see how that goes.
Happy Boxing Day Pan!
We are going out to see The King’s Speech this afternoon.
Morning Pan
Had a nice Christmas. My Boo and her boyfriend came over and we had the usual feast.
I got a book of cookie recipes from a friend. Between that and the cookie cutters my Secret Santa gave me I’m wondering if I have a reputation.
Anyway I do have triple chocolate cookies in the oven as we speak
Tonight they’re airing the Dr. Who Christmas here in Canadaland so we’re looking forward to that.
Later Panites!
I really need to take a picture of the beautiful flowers on my dining room table and post them online. They are GORGEOUS!
Lo, EssBee: A friend of mine is visiting some family in Colorado. What kind of local beers should he pick up and bring back to me?
How funny, ditto!
I ALSO have a friend (from work) visiting Colorado this week. If I’d thought of it sooner, I’d have used him to send gifts as he’s gone to Longmont. Could have sent stuffs to EssBee, Long Pan, and my little bro. He accused me of trying to use him as a mule when I suggested it, but really – next time he goes.. I’m stuffing a mule-pack and strapping it to him!
Ditto: personally I’d go for the limited release beers from Avery, New Belgium, and Left Hand. The stuff that is only sold at the breweries.
So that’s where I got the sniffles from. I caught it from the
. Althought I think I have a cold instead of the flu.
Some friends of ours just got my daughter an xbox 360 and a kinect for Christmas. I’m floored. Happy, but floored.
The Dr. Who special was full of “YEA!”
Wish the whole season had been that well written.
Maybe the next will be.
I think most people would definitely appreciate friends like those UH – Wowzers!
Dan got a Kinect for Christmas too with a sports game and the kids got Kinectimals..
And of course, as you all know… Luna
http://twinklergirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/166535_473571626687_715066687_6254694_2196236_n.jpg
“Black Dog” is also a great Led Zeppelin tune. Luna is awfully cute.
Happy Boxing Day, everyone!
Jack… you come to my house. Luna will chew your face off!
Puppy Breath FTW!!!
CJ – my kids enjoyed the original Tron, but I don’t think the new one is worth another trip to the theater. I’ll rent it for them when it comes to video. I don’t see this one joining my permanent library of DVD/Blu-Rays.
Well what about the 3D?
Ed: Sorry to hear that.
Jj: I quite enjoyed last season, despite some weak episodes, but I loved the Christmas episode.
Just got back from The King’s Speech. Excellent movie.
ditto: email moi.
Jack the 3D didnt make up for anything, tho it was perty to look at. After a while it just got old.
As for Doc Who, Im slogging thru this last season so itll be a bit til I get to the xmas special. This season… when its good its pretty good but when its bad its god fucking awful.
C: at a Binghamton Senators game.
I’m a bit torn right now. I’m seeing my wife smile and laugh in a way I haven’t seen since we moved to florida and I almost hate to go back. But everywhere we look here we see the signs of the horrible depression this area is going through. If only there were jobs here. Sigh.
ugh^. Thats tough buddy. I can actually empathize.
CE: Sara Lee mince pie with eggnog ice cream
CD: Candy Cane Green Tea
Nom!
UsedHair, I’ve sometimes dealt with the same thing, being so many states away from my previous home. It can be tough at times, living so far removed from the support network of family and old friends.
That said, all you Northeasterners stay safe on the roads. Better yet, stay off the roads, if you can.
Support networks are under-appreciated. Especially by snot-nosed kids (meaning myself when I was younger.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ7rezDwqEI
Because I have the opposite, I am certain I will confuse and possibly conflate Christiana Ellis’ Luna with Cj’s Luna.
(The only good thing about that movie is the dinosaur’s line.)
I didn’t realize that Christiana also had a puppy named Luna… I’ll have to let her know that I’ve done the same LOL
I need an app that will alert me when there is a new message on Deadpan.
I think I should have asked for that for Christmas.
One of the kids I work with has never heard of the Gin Blossoms.
Me: “Hey, look! The Gin Blossoms are putting on a free concert on January 12th in downtown Phoenix – on a day when I can actually go!!”
Kid I work with: “Who are the Gin Blossoms?”
So I queue up Hey Jealousy … nope..
Alison Road … nope..
Til I Hear it From You … nope..
I give up.
Apparently the music I’ve enjoyed for the last few years is now old.
Co-worker is 22 and I can quote him from a week ago when he said, “Oh wow, you are the same age as my mom and she’s pretty young at heart too.”
I shall now go purchase wrinkle cream and bingo cards and maybe some useless brick-a-brack that I will never dust.
I will also purchase one more /i inside
+ brackets.
I have a similar story from when I was 38 and an intern at a major engineering company. I thought that engineers would be geeks just like me, but found that (for whatever reason) these kids were closer to preppy jackasses than geeks. We had one of those annoying ice breaker sessions to get to know each other better and one of the questions was “what is your favorite book”. Whereas I had to deliberate for quite a while to narrow down the choices, the kid across the table from me says “wow, this is a really hard question. I don’t read books”. I said “really, there aren’t any books that you’ve read and enjoyed” and he says “I hated every book I read for school and haven’t read anything that wasn’t for a class”. I wanted to smack him upside the head, but that’s probably the crotchety old man in me.
ditto: I’d say Ralph has it right. There are lots of seasonals out from Avery, Left Hand (Longmont), and Boulder out. What kind of beers do you like?
We’re still sick, but home now, which makes it better.
cough
Well, UH, thankfully, these days, kids are reading much more – at least so it seems. There is a generation of ‘non readers’ and I’ll never understand that as I’m an avid lover of books.
So, due to your post I said to the young co-worker “What is your favorite book?” his response, “The Count of Monte Cristo” – my mother-in-law laughs at me every time I suggest she read a book, however.
I will never understand that.
I didn’t get any of the books I asked for this Christmas, so looks like I’ll be purchasing them on my own.
Afternoon Pan, back to work I go, the silly sales season has begun.
This was a member of the younger generation. He was probably 21 or so. There were a lot of kids like that in my intern program. I guess when you work for a major military contactor, you get a different crowd of engineers than those I met in college.
I logged into work on my day off, spent 15 minutes on the phone, dealing with work stuff.

Poison Gas Island and you – - Perfect Together.
Poison Gas Island is for Lovers.
Come to Poison Gas Island.
Tough to write travel brochures for that place.
Do you love Poison Gas? Then you won’t be “Disapoisened” with our island!
Come for the Scenery, Stay for Eternity?
Welcome to Poison Gas Island. I am your host, Mr. Fahrt.
You know, I must confess, I thought she was a one hit wonder with the “Lovergirl” song. I’d never heard of her before or since.

I just notced all the Oddword games are available on Steam, worth checking out, especially the first two games.
Cleaning the office … anyone have a need for some slightly used, T-15 vhs tapes? I have 20, only one pass each.
As I am cleaning I realized that nobody asks for video on VHS anymore.
It’s another, once heavily relied on but now obsolete, technology.
http://i.imgur.com/PHmF5.jpg
I’m not sure if I’m Full or Unkempt. Maybe both?
I’ve got a VCR in the closet, but I’m more likely to plug in my cassette tape deck than use the VCR. Even the kids are onto DVDs now.
Speaking of kids, I wonder if Cj’s youngster doesn’t know Gin Blossoms because he doesn’t listen to pop radio stations. I listen to my personal collection of music and podcasts or an internet radio like Slacker or Pandora, but even in the car I don’t listen to the radio. And since I am such a trendsetter, I presume the youth of today are following in my lead.
Can you hear the tongue stuck in my cheek?
Did I mention that they called us in for work on our holiday and then cancelled it at the last minute? Yeah. They cancelled the graveyard shift because of a terrible snow storm that didn’t happen, and had 1st and 2nd come in anyhow.
It’s stupid, but I’m pissed. I could have used a little end-of-the-year bonus cash.
You’re way entitled to be pissed, Nomad. Remind them, just how threatening your beard is on that chart. (I’m directly between Questionable and Unsavory) BTW, I love how the patchy beard is labeled the “Sydney Crosby”.
GoNiMo.
Leave a message after the…
:beep!:
Be afraid of the beep!
I thought the saying was, “Fear the beeper!”?
I don’t get the “Sydney Crosby” reference. I looked him up and he’s a baby-faced hockey guy… but I am not seeing any pictures of him patchy bearded. Or bearded at all, for that matter.
Are you sure it isn’t “Fear the meeper”?
/The coyote agrees…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpcUxwpOQ_A
Fear the meeper.
Mere the Feeper carried a blarp shade, a two-handed shade, and left fusty dootprints in the sand.
Shift workers get shafted again.
The office staff have had two extra days off cos Xmas was on the weekend…
@van: bah humbug!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooomad Scryyy!
Deadpan: this winter, may the making of snow angels not be the only time you spread your legs.
Visiting the inlaws. Not going to be posting much. :(
Its just cause Im here.
*fart*
Told you.
Yellow snow is a poor choice for snow angels.
Morning Pan. I think I’ve become a warhammer widow. Hubby is spending an awful lot of time with his paints and little pieces of plastic
I had to laugh at him. He bought a giant piece of unpainted scenery (4′ x 6′ assembled). He thought he was so careful. He laid out some old sheets in the basement then sprayed a base coat of black over his scenery (it’s winter, who wants to go outside to paint)… Then spent the rest of the day wiping down everything down there to remove the fine layer of black dust that seemed to coat everything down there. I laughed
Golden showering, Rhett?
And then Bunny laughed…
Morning, DP! Still sick, but up to about 65% today, which after the last two days, I’ll gladly take.
Also, LOLing the snow angels wish.
A 65% EssBee is better than 80% of the people in this world at 100%/
Following up on past comments:
Van, we use to enjoy the OddWorld games way back when the girls had a PS2
J0e, believe it or not, I have a friend who still records everything on VHS. hubby and I find that strange because he is the biggest Tv and Movie nut you will ever meet. Yet, while he owns a DVD (not blu-ray) he still uses old tech to record. We told him he should at lest get a recordable DVD machine if not an actual DVR. He says, some day but since his system still works…
Hubby has grown his winter beard. It tickles
Feel better EssBee *hug*
I was just made swoony by a Cover Girl commercial.
How is anyone that beautiful. I’m not sure if I want to BE Drew Barrymore or be WITH her at this point.
Good morning by the way.
I have a headache – just a fact, not a complaint.
I’m heading to the doctor now. Not for the headache.
I’m fine though. Just a checkup of sorts :)
Hubby just came upstairs. He’s been awake for well over two hours now he’s going to have his morning shower and something for breakfast. At least he’s keeping me amused.
*hugs* Cj. No headaches for my goddess
Thanks, y’all! *hugs* back
*Hugs while wearing a hotzone suit to avoid germs*
“hotzone”
“Highway to the…”
“Kenny Scroggins”
Jack has an extensive erogenous hotzone.
erroneous?
Somethin’ you and Jack need to ‘splain to us, JJ?
Hubby says “heading down to paint rocks. It’s what I do”
“She pressed her lips to his euphonious zone which produced a long and mellow tone of passion.”
Excerpt from – “Emmanuelle – Band in the U.S.”
DJ – He’s going here ?
http://www.lone-star.net/mall/txtrails/paintrock.htm
CP – and endless selection of Weird Al tunes. Yea!
Well went and saw ‘The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ again today.
Watching it the second time, I still felt it’s the best of the 3 films.
There will be no cutting Footloose on my watch. Totally on John Lithgow’s side there.
Oh and the lass playing Lisbeth is just hot..and reminds me of an Ex.
Cough
Ack!
My paper shredder just died.
The Universe conspires against me actually getting this office cleaned out.
Van I agree its the best stand alone of the 3 films. Still like Played With Fire the best.
*waits for Jacks quippy quip*
Kick off those sunday shoes, Jack.
Am I that predictable?
Hubby just came upstairs, patted me on the head and said, “I’m sorry that I’m not paying much attention to you”. Then promptly went back downstairs. Huh?
*pats bunny on head*
I predict Jack will do the same in 3 postings…
one
two
Two
Two
I think I spoilt the chronological sequence.
Bugger!
*cough*
TWO
FIVE !
You know Bunny, that reminds me of an instance a few years ago, when I was playing online video games with a bunch of friends and my wife wanted to get my attention.
*cough* *cough*
That was 6 JJ
That was 6 JJ
Rhett, if I was really worried and really wanted him to pay attention to me, I’d change into something lacy, go downstairs and let nature take its course
That was Sixx Nicky.
Bunny wins!
Lunch time! I see turkey sandwiches in my future
That was Nikki Cox
I wonder what Nikki’s middle name is? Sacs?
Her middle name is “OH DEAR GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU NIKKI”

Its a long link… its fitting.
*Pats Rhettro on the head*
Lo, she actually looks like plastic surgery gone wrong
She is.
*pats self on head*
Is it me or does anybody else find the Windows phone ad compaign strange? Here in Canada at least their while campaign seems to be based on how much you don’t need to use it
woah, she looks more like Carrot Top now.
Never say that name here. Ever.
I don’t know who Nikki Cox once was, but it appears she’s in mid-metamorphosis, turning into a frog.
Only thing I member her from was that crappy ‘Married With Children’ knock off ‘Unhappily Ever After’
PS: Wibbit
Hubby has apparently moved on from rocks and is now painting skulls.
Just in case I wanted to know.
At least he’s keeping me informed *shrug*
I’ve moved from the couch to the computer. Just in case you wanted to know.
Now to play… I’m not sure. I’ll think of something.
I think we’re getting the same Windows phone advertising as you Bunny. Opinion? Beats me but the T-Mobile girl is hawt!
Carly Foulkes
*Pats Bunny’s skulls*
I never understood the lacy thang, could explain why I’m anti social.
Did I mention the remote control helicopter I got for Xmas?
*Pats Van’s copter*
Just Watched: The Fourth Kind
thumbs down
Even with smokin’ hot Milla?
Even with . . .
Yesterday I slept through two extended edition LOTR films. We might sleep through #3 next.
Too bad.
Oh I love sleeping thru those godawful films. Nothing finer.
Oh THAT was the other problem with Tron. It had like 5 endings just like Return of the King did.
So I downloaded one of the Oddworld game demos, it’s been a while since I’ve played a PC game that doesn’t use a mouse…
*Pats Van’s Mudoken*
Mudokon
Important mis-type on my part.
Yeah Yeah
