I’m taking desperation to a whole new level, off to see Bridesmaids.
However I will be seeing the new Terrence Malick movie tomorrow..
Based on The Thin Red Line, I’m betting I’m going to enjoy Bridesmaids a whole lot more…
Bridesmaids got good chick-flick reviews, Van!
Yeah wasn’t too bad.
Some of the head 2 head scenes between the main female protagonist and the guy from the IT crowd were a bit freaky though, looked liked he wasn’t in the same room as her at some poInts and this was really obvious when it shouldn’t have been.
Yeah yeah, I know this how movies are shot, but just too obvious in this case,
Morris Day and the Time were pretty good. wow that guy was trying to be smooth.
Tonic was good as always “the way she loves me” is so much better live. they change the song adding a little something that really adds some real depth.
Morning Pan!
Bye Pan! Headed south
Yeah Bridesmaids is supposed to be quite a good film. Will be definite Netflix for me.
Oh, Reaps, Morris Day dont have to try to be smoov… Morris Day be just smoov by bein’ Morris Day
You should have heard his speech on the difference between sweating and condensating. condensating like a champagne bottle the cool comes from with in. Were with sweating your just hot instead of letting the cool come to the surface. it was something else.
I want to BE Morris Day
I don’t know if any other person could handle that much cool.
Well may Chuck Norris. I know I couldn’t
It would be a great 5 minutes until I imploded from coolness.
It would be glorious!
Truly our only hope against global warming.
Made it to the airport. Realized I forgot my US money. The stupid currency exchane at the airpot charged me 15%!!! Don’t they know our dollar is above par? *humph*
Customs was uneventful. Never had my hands swabbed before though. Strange
Hay pan,
Sending the “we need to start the paper work” email.
I’m kinda nervous about the response.
Solidarity, reaper. You know what needs to be done. I know a thing or two about this, so feel free to email, if you have any questions or want some non-bitter advice.
Thanks Jack. I think it will go well I’m just nervous. I also very badly don’t want to be married to her any more and we need to start paper work do that.
*slides a cold beer down the bar to Reaper*
Yep, that’s definately beer worthy.
thanks going to need that
*Sends a shot of whiskey down to.*
Thought I’d send “back-up” as well.

The bunny has landed and is fed. We’re happy
Ack! What did you feed the Bunny to !!!!!
An Aardvark?
Bunny ate at a salad bar place called Sweet Tomato
Were there sweet tomatoes?
wink wink nudge nudge
Funnily enough, no.
bunny is a sweet tomato
Asses :blush:
Istupid iPad. I meant to say awwwww
damnyouautocorrect.com
bwahahaha
I just looked at Bunny’s words with friends game and her game with her husband has the words connected Hot Shafts Toy… this makes me giggle like a dirty school girl.
The second time I’ve watched Big Bang Theory and it’s a rerun.
It’s still good. Watch it twice. I always do.
I guess I’m broken, I just feel more bored watching it.
It has been a day. Glad to hear travelers arrived and were fed to the aardvarks.
Hmm, well….
You know, having gone through the four books in succession here since the beginning of the year, I cannot appreciate having to wait more than a decade to hear about what happens to Tyrion and all the others who weren’t addressed in “A Feast for Crows”.
While not quite as in your face as Game of Thrones, this guy was definitely influenced more by GRR Martin rather that Robert Jordan in terms of visceral descriptive story telling. I’m enjoying it.
I hadn’t considered MacBeth (or really, much of any Shakespeare) since high school, so I had memory of only a basic concept and a few key lines. Interestingly enough, I have not heard any of those lines used in this version.

it kind of feels like sex. fun things happening building to an explosion
I’m glad sex doesn’t have a clock that stops all the time though
Never had a phone ring at just the wrong time?
:getlost:
good point but now that I think about it no. just kids knocking on the door.
Bunny called us lazy. I call myself “woman with a migraine” … whatever!
bahaha
Now she’s trying to convince me that I need to eat something. Gah.. eat? in the morning!? Where’s my coffee!?
Personally I refuse to acknowledge the existence of mornings without coffer.
Most excellent launch!
I have now witnessed (via TV) the final launch of the Apollo program and the Shuttle program.
I am old. :pouty:
I missed it. T-5 and someone stopped in and need help. I get back and it is all done.
Ed: I seriously dig (That Scottish Play). It’s actually the only Shakespeare play I’ve seen performed live. I will check out that novel. If you like that, you might dig “King Hereafter” by Dorothy Dunnett.
Cj is sticking out her tongue and wiggling it suggestively :tongue:
What was that pearl of wisdom my wife used to say? Oh yeah, don’t start something you can’t finish. LOL
Um…. BTW Lo Pan and Lost Ralph and anyone else who might care – Avery New World Porter is not half-bad. (I’m not CD:, I had one last night)
But it’s noon somewhere
Youre in no way wrong, sir
I fuckin love it. One of the better anytime porters out there.
Is it true that the Harry Porter is brewed with the warts of a hog?

Well in the cinema, waiting for ‘Tree of Life’ to start, ahoy weirdness.
I’ll be interested in what you think of it Van. The only thing I know about it is how some strongly disliked it while others strongly loved it.
OOOOOOOh good luck with that one
Early reviews for Tree of Life: the acting was kind of wooden, the story never really branches out, and most of the audience leaves in the Fall.
*throws every coat possible at Jack*
We’ll see if that rings hollow…
I just hope the movie isn’t too sappy.
…or forgets its roots.
It’s probably for the birds.
Unless it’s too chopped up.
Then it’s mulch ado about nothing.
*withers*
..and what a load of pretentacious teasels it was.
Bloody auto correct.
To clarify.
A barely coherent plot, wedged between formation and early history of presumably Earth and it’s destruction ..at the end of time (insert dramatic music here), most of the coherent bits set in 50’s childhood where it looked the director had just discovered zoom lenses and wanted to zoom in and out (with a bit of revolving for added effect) with wild abandon (yeah I’m sure it was meant to make it look like a dream of memories past but I found it bloody annoying).
So meh!
After 3 weeks, Green Lantern has grossed $138,925,810… WORLDWIDE
So…. so that’s not good at all. Minus Batman, DC seems to REALLY have trouble in the cinema, dont they?
Three quick things before I get into meeting mode:
We live in a world where $138,925,810 is not a lot of money to some…. while I agonize over $3.00 for a loaf of bread.
I guess the first 2 Superman films are too old to count?
I’m sure DVD sales will help the bottom line. I agree though, DC doesn’t have the market draw of Marvel, other than Mr. Wayne.
And the 3rd: I don’t have my laptop OR my USB drive with me, so I hope we can record tonight and dropbox me the files.
That was a great essay … aaand then it needed some editing.
Sad though, we can look at it 10 years later and see that Napster is basically dead and nothing has changed in the music industry except for the fact that their attitudes toward the Internet has lost them money.
“In a world without friction, the only friction people value is editing”.
Oh Courtney, can’t you just stay that 1-dimensional drugged-out dimwit that we all grew to despise?
^like!!!
Her references to Napster, Lars Ulrich, and record store shelves all feel about 10 years dated, though.
See seemed mostly on point with the article, Napster is so 1998 though. Seems like there is an opprotunity for a venture capitalist to start a music download site that is geared toward rewarding the musicians and maybe promote them with some free weekly MP3s.
See=She
You know what Lars was going to buy with all that money he lost from Napster? Yep, booze.
He gets plenty of boos.
and a few hisses.
but few kisses.
SIGH.

Great Divide’s Belgian Style Yeti Imperial Stout
Oh boys and girls…. this should be a treat
Belgian style?!
Belgian style…
Sounds yummy!
ditto ditto
It’s HOT!
That is all
CD: Boddingtons
Hmm, I’m thinking of beer, something stoutish
Perhaps with some oak to it.
And I think it needs to be strong, imperial strength in fact.
CD: Coop’s Territorial Reserve Oak Aged Imperial Stout
This is a hard beer to define, it has all the characteristics of an imperial stout except the syrupy mouth feel and it’s kinda throwing me off.
The aroma is wonderful the vanilla from the oak combined with the roast and caramel malts to put me in mind of maple syrup and molasses. With a hint of cinnamon like spiceness.
The flavor has a strong hop bitterness with roast and oak, as if you had oak aged a dry stout. With the oaky tannins lingering in the mouth and palate in a kind of pleasant way. I get a hint of syrupiness on the back of the palate.
(quiet spellbot syrupiness is to a word, now.)
The mouth feel is thin for an imperial stout, more along the lines of a regular strength dry stout. This makes it odd yet gives the beer a surprising refreshingness, especially combined with the hops and oak. I will say the only way I can tell it has alot of alcohol is the warmth in my stomach as I drink it, and the way the beer clings to the side of my glass.
All in all a good beer, but I’m not sure if the new brewer over at Coop has the same flair Chase brought to the recipes.
Oh here comes the buzz, yep I guess this is an imperial strength beer.
I’m halfway through a 750 mL bottle and feeling nice…
“115 degree weather in OK. A Golden Ale in a frosty mug will cool you down nicely.”
Beer snob/geek says, ” Who would waste a good beer in a frosted mug?”
No really I’m trying to control it, please drink what you enjoy. Even if it is from a *shudder* frosty mug…
ok so Re: ditto’s post of Courtney Love taking on the music industry..although I TOTALLY agree with her, I have t doubt she actually wrote it. BUT, regardless of the author, she is totally right on.
Record labels are so evil. The only people who are losing money off illegal downloads are the labels. screw them I say!
Her idea is pretty cool if it could work. I mean couldn’t an artist basically create that “global village” through their own site? Have a log in for your fans to access a special place on your site to listen to previews or whatever else and offer the tip service through there.
Or create a separate site where bands have pages you can log in, save your favorite artists and access whatever it is they want to share, leave what you want. Make it be a direct contact between fans and the artists. As an obsessed music fan that would be awesome. I mean back in the day when everything was word of mouth or found reading every music zine out there, the connection to artists was so difficult. Today with the internet tubes we are all closer to bands then we ever were.
Being that its Courtney and I despise her, I would have to argue that what she is saying she COULD already do. Trent did it, Radiohead did it, Brand New did it. Does Courtney Love have enough fans who would care enough about her work?
There are bands i would sign up for something like that if it was available. I think its up to the band to make it happen. If enough bands went that way, if bigger bands helped out smaller bands… it would be pretty bad ass. I know there are artists like Greg Dulli (you knew he would come into the conversation eventually) who still is fighting with his old label over Afghan Whigs rights. Its sad. He has Afghan Whigs music that he can’t do anything with because of the old label. Very very sad.
Ok, sorry for taking over Deadpan with a music industry rant. 🙂
I only got halfway through that speech from Courtney, so I’m basing htis more on your response.
But I will say that I know of one artist who is completely supported by her fans, and did a 50 state plus Canada tour last year, and she is touring a large part of the US again. Just doing mostly small venues and house parties. Admittedly Marian Call is closer to Vanamonde’s tastes than the mighty Hugh and Dre’s rock preferences. But it is an interesting proof of a n artist succeeding only through social media.
Regardless of the genre, she did what Courtney was talking about. And her album is coming out on Bandcamp which I saw was a site that does EXACTLY what Courtney is sorta talking about.. you can see your music directly to your fans sans a record label.
and according to this little snippet cut from their site, some indie rock regulars use it too:
In the past 30 days alone, artists have made $627,373 USD using Bandcamp, and monthly sales growth since our launch looks like this:
To find out why forward thinkers like Sufjan Stevens, Amanda Palmer, and Zoë Keating call Bandcamp home sweet home, watch this
Now if some slightly larger names started.. that would be cool.
Hugh and i did some TV catching up last weekend- I was not liking the new series of Dr Who but those 2 episodes about “the flesh” might have made up for everything else. Even Neil Gaiman’s episode didn’t do it for me.. and I LOOOOOOOVE Neil Gaiman.
True Blood is AWESOME
Excited to watch Torchwood tomorrow maybe if we have time.
Also really looking forward to Harry Potter, New Dresden book.. lots of cool scifi stuff.
Umm, I thought all of the episodes were in Wales? And please avoid spoilers since it may be a year before netflix allows me to catch up.
I’m just wondering if they remove the UK bit on the UK release, like umm we know Wales is in the UK.
Silly Ban, I thought whales lived in the water :cheerful:

“If it ain’t vorpal, it ain’t dead.”
One of the best quotes ever. IMO
“I shall futterwacking, vigorously.”
*snicker*
Will you be futterwacking with the comely Alice?

There are times I feel like I’ve lost my muchness…
“I make the path”
Ok, now Alice is starting to flirt with me.
“clothe this enormous girl.”
Why? I’d be quite happy if she wasn’t clothed.
“Why is it you’re always too small, or too tall?”
No comprende too tall, I don’t believe a woman can be too tall.
I wonder if they make a vorpal pocketknife, it would be much handier in this modern age than a vorpal sword.
“If it ain’t Alice, it ain’t dead.”

I first read this as “Temple Marketplace”. I was going to warn you to be on the alert for angry messiahs trashing the place.

They’re growing. I think they do distribute outside MN a little bit. Their newest project is constructing a Stone-style restaurant on site. It was illegal to do so, but the state legislature passed a bill nicknamed the “Surly Bill.”
Of course, the legislature failed MN in many other ways this year, so it was a small thing all-in-all…

Does anyone have a favorite “Mango Salsa” recipe they’d like to share?
Yes.
Mango Avacado Salsa
1 each Mango, Avacado, diced 1/4″
1/4 cup minced onions (or 1 tbs dried)
1 tbs line juice
1 tbs cilantro
salt to taste
Combine & let sit for at least 30 minutes.
You can replace the mangoes with peaches or oranges. Peaches with mangoes also works well.
Swell, thanks!
Well, howse about that for Deadpan Power!!!
Can you sub glazed donuts for the mangoes?
It’s salsa! You can do anything you want! 🙂
Though I won’t guarantee it tastes good that way.
A glazed mongoose in a submarine?
Oh THAT can’t end well.
BTW, just had an awesome Chicken n Waffles lunch with Cj plus kids, Rhettro & Theresa plus kid, Bunny, and my kids. My stomach will hate me, but it was a great time.
I still have a hard time believing that is actually good.
Don”t look at me. I had half a chicken sandwich because I could’t get my head around chicken and waffles either
Slymenstra Hymen?
I think that is the lead singer/Tuba player from a late 80’s, obscure regional punk/polka band.
The region is obscure, not the band.
Youre real close!!!!!! She was from GWAR
I was watching an interesting program where one of the guys from
Top Gear on various subjects.
So after 40 your nervous system starts getting out if sync leading to indisgestation and constipation.
So yeah..
Did they demonstrate that in a highly impracticable but incredibly gorgeous, super car?
It’s a mix of band, hip-hop, and rock. Very catchy.
Now it’s time to figure out what to make for dinner.
And no, glazed donuts are not involved. 😉

Oh please let that be a euphemism!
We’re gonna need a bigger bunk….
Better go back and get an even bigger one.
Well, it has been another productive weekend. And, even better, I think the end is in sight now on getting the old house ready to sell. It was a much bigger effort than I anticipated (and I anticipated a lot), but the place has turned out pretty well.
“Bigger effort”
Ha! You’ve done it now. You’ll be thinking, “Hey, this place looks pretty darn good! Why did we ever sell it?”
Belgian Yeti Stout….my god. Its full of win. Its a milder version of the Yeti Stout with Belgian lightness and sweetness inter-played throughout. Find it. Try it.

Just wait until the do an Oak Aged Belgian Yeti
The waiting, dear Ralph, is the hardest part
Oak Aged Belgian Yeti … now with CHOCOLATE!
I just came a little…
After Sephora, we went for ice cream.

I’m gonna try to get Bunny to do a play by play with me… first we need to pick a movie.
Sorry, Bunny, it won’t have Zombies or murdering rampages.
Rep! The movie’s playing
Sylvia!
ok, we’ve decided (Bunny let me choose actually more like) A Dirty Shame
2004 NC-17 88 minutes
Acclaimed filmmaker John Waters returns to his favorite city, Baltimore, for this side-splitting film starring Tracey Ullman as Sylvia Stickles, a convenience-store worker who becomes a raging sexaholic after a minor accident. But her newfound lust is more a hassle than a gift, igniting class warfare on her street, Harford Road. Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak and Selma Blair co-star. Waters’s muse, Patty Hearst, makes her usual cameo
Johnny Knoxville? Isn’t he that Asshole guy?
Er.. Jackass
Cooking in the kitchen. Hubba, hubba

They were water marking the word vagina on the screen. What else am I suppose to think?
Humping the garbage can
Holy crap! Full frontal male nudity!
We paused the movie. Now it doesn’t want to restart. Please stand by…
Why are they doing the hokey pokey?
Now… Cj needs popcorn. I think she really just needed to cool off from this hot movie
Ok, where were we.. Oh yes, doing the hokey pokey

Whew. The movie is over. I’m kind of glad
um.
Why was David Hasselhoff even in this?
Why was he in the Sponge Bob movie? He’s the Hoff
I’d apologize to Bunny for choosing such a bad movie, but I heard her giggle more than once and it had nothing to do with her sitting on the Zhu Zhu pet.
It was a cute movie. I wouldn’t go much beyond that, thouh
Also, crap. Now I think Johnny Knoxville is kinda hot.
Dammit. Do. Not. Want.
I did make real popcorn with real butter.

Thanks to Cj for a fun evening
Well done you dos!
Sounds like Ms. Ullman was trying to make a John Waters film.
LOL!!!
I somehow missed the post that explained that film … until just now!
Some how I thought it was written by Tracy Ullman.
I think it is brilliant that just from reading the play by play … I recognized the “John Waters” in it.
Fuck, does anyone at all remember the wonderful early 90’s indie-noise band Vanilla Trainwreck from Madison, WI? Reaps? Anyone? A very important part of my growing up they were.

Vanilla Trainwreck – no
Dirty Shame is a great Waters – loved it! You guys should do Pecker today.
I’m pretty sure I enjoyed the play by play more than I would have enjoyed the movie.

This was clearly a mistake, since a spreadsheet with 91 people (not JUST the 13 women) was on it. What we have is one of those internet, don’t quite gasp the technology “Oh WTF” moments.
For the love of Adrien Zmed … I’m just impressed they actually go to the trouble of custom fitting these vests to individual measurements.
Frankly, I’m guessing that there are 13 women who just wish this hadn’t gone viral.
… and yes. YES! I am liquored up at the moment.

Luna moved into a nice new home yesterday. I think the owner I chose is a perfect match for her and I’ll get to keep up to date with pics and stuff.
More importantly, my kids are spending the next 3 days with their dad and I’ll be having a bit of empty nest syndrome I think. I’ve only cried once since dropping them off this morning, but I suppose it will get easier. I’m going to the movies 2 of the nights they are gone, so that should help keep my mind off it.
I never felt empty nest when the girls moved out. It was more like, “Thank God!” and promptly tore out one of their bedrooms. I must be a bad mom.
I split my grocery shopping between 3 different supermarkets after dropping off the kids last week, just to delay coming home to an empty house.
I was thinking exhaust kids not bad mom

Will Netflix play chicken with their customer base?
This Netflix thing is kind of a watershed moment for the Internet consumer.
Netflix is betting that the consumer, while not liking this price hike, will simply role over and pay it.
If they do then you can expect to see all kinds of businesses who also use the internet, do the same or start to add a fee for that service.
I used to pay more for Netflix before they had streaming and I had to get more discs per month. I pay at least $60 a month for cable and don’t watch it as much as I watch Netflix. They have been offering more and more for less and less and are finally in a situation where they need to charge more in order to make a profit considering that streaming was FAR more popular than anyone thought it would be. $16 a month for all the streaming I can eat and a disc at a time is chump change. Let’s be honest about this and compare it to the cost of cable TV or renting or even buying DVDs (you can get maybe 4 if you are a really thrifty shopper). The price hike is a lot to handle in one shot, but I think it is justified in this case.
Funnily enough I wasn’t that happy paying $9 a month. Now with this big of a hike it makes me do the math of how much entertainment I get from Netflix, and primarily I use the streaming service, and whether I’m getting good value for my money.
I will say that since you are allowed to stream from multiple devices I share my account with my Dad and little sisters, so I may consider continuing to pay for it. But like many now my budget is tight, and I already put my account on hold once to save money.
I also have a problem believing that they need that big of a hike all of a sudden. It doesn’t seem likely that costs would have ballooned so much, so fast.
etc. Long story short (too late). Netflix managed to sign a ton of great contracts because no one thought they would do as well as they did. Now that Netflix is the shiznit, as contracts come up for renewal, everyone is demanding huge fees from them. If they lose Starz, they are up shit creek without a paddle and Starz knows it. So Netflix isn’t just being greedy. They really do need to hike up costs so fast or they are dead in the water. That is, at least, in my humble opinion. I fully admit that there could be more to the story that I just don’t know about. Calling any big company honest is about as naive as thinking a politician cares about people.

Nice alternative world scifi story at lightspeed this month;
Heading off to catch up with the rest of my family down at the coast after work today. So, once again, I’m counting on you guys to be Deadpan while I’m away.
Did anyone listen to StarShipSofa 190, from May? There is a short story, Mohammed’s Angel, that just perplexes me. Because I don’t understand how it is a “story”. I’d love for someone to explain it to me. :puzzled:
Didn’t catch that. For some reason Starship Sofa never caught on with me.
I suspect I should give it another chance.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some fascinating fact articles, some great narrations, some boring as hell articles, and some simply bad readings. All wrapped in a specfic magazine that couldn’t possibly be expected to be consumed in one sitting.
Overall, I like the SSS fiction more often than I liked the Fantasy & Science Fiction stories (when I had a sub to it.)
Yes, but I can’t remember any details of the story.
spoilers: A stuck up woman calls her mother to find out if she’s survived the explosion at her house of worship. Turns out the mom is an even bigger: bleep:
over the course of their conversation, it comes out that the bomber was the moms neighbor. And, I think, that they’d slept together. The end.

Netflix – I switched to streaming only. With RedBox so readily available, makes Netflix sort of unnecessary although, if I have to watch a specific movie, I could see it being an issue MAYBE. The fact is, I can easily do an Amazon UnBox for just about any movie I want to see.. I think? With the changes in my life, I really need to cut back as much as I can everywhere. Cable TV is going to be the next to go.
I’ve already accepted the fact that my hair just simply won’t be as awesome as it’s been due to my inability to afford it. Groupon will save my hair, I’m thinking.
Oh, also…
Transformers 3.
Here’s the thing. I can realize clearly that it was tossed together somewhat. The special FX are amazing. Shia and BumbleBee still make me swoon. The pretty girl needs to eat something. Good grief, why do they have to be so THIN? Is it like… seriously? I go to the movie and just feel like I’m the size of Australia when I’m looking at this skinny girl. I suppose that is part of my not wanting to eat anything EVER thing right now. 🙁
I enjoyed being there for the fun of the movie. It lacked dialogue and the plot was interesting, but not enthralling. I did appreciate Sentinel Prime being played by Leonard Nimoy… I had no idea. I didn’t research anything before seeing it, obviously. There was, I thought, supposed to be a friend of mine in the movie, but I didn’t see him. I also admit that seeing it at the drive-in did make for less-lustery FX.
I still had fun though. I could have left earlier.. It was definitely too long.
haven’t seen the movie yet put from the pics
give that girl a sammich or 10.
women need curves. with out them they look like little boys and that is just creepy.
They keep them thin so that they can stack more into a trailer, makes it easier to pull out a model with a different paint job when they want variety.

However I will be seeing the new Terrence Malick movie tomorrow..
Based on The Thin Red Line, I’m betting I’m going to enjoy Bridesmaids a whole lot more…
Bridesmaids got good chick-flick reviews, Van!
Yeah wasn’t too bad.
Some of the head 2 head scenes between the main female protagonist and the guy from the IT crowd were a bit freaky though, looked liked he wasn’t in the same room as her at some poInts and this was really obvious when it shouldn’t have been.
Yeah yeah, I know this how movies are shot, but just too obvious in this case,
Morris Day and the Time were pretty good. wow that guy was trying to be smooth.

Oh, Reaps, Morris Day dont have to try to be smoov… Morris Day be just smoov by bein’ Morris Day
You should have heard his speech on the difference between sweating and condensating. condensating like a champagne bottle the cool comes from with in. Were with sweating your just hot instead of letting the cool come to the surface. it was something else.

Early reviews for Tree of Life: the acting was kind of wooden, the story never really branches out, and most of the audience leaves in the Fall.

..and what a load of pretentacious teasels it was.
Bloody auto correct.
To clarify.
A barely coherent plot, wedged between formation and early history of presumably Earth and it’s destruction ..at the end of time (insert dramatic music here), most of the coherent bits set in 50’s childhood where it looked the director had just discovered zoom lenses and wanted to zoom in and out (with a bit of revolving for added effect) with wild abandon (yeah I’m sure it was meant to make it look like a dream of memories past but I found it bloody annoying).

This is a hard beer to define, it has all the characteristics of an imperial stout except the syrupy mouth feel and it’s kinda throwing me off.
The aroma is wonderful the vanilla from the oak combined with the roast and caramel malts to put me in mind of maple syrup and molasses. With a hint of cinnamon like spiceness.
The flavor has a strong hop bitterness with roast and oak, as if you had oak aged a dry stout. With the oaky tannins lingering in the mouth and palate in a kind of pleasant way. I get a hint of syrupiness on the back of the palate.
(quiet spellbot syrupiness is to a word, now.)
The mouth feel is thin for an imperial stout, more along the lines of a regular strength dry stout. This makes it odd yet gives the beer a surprising refreshingness, especially combined with the hops and oak. I will say the only way I can tell it has alot of alcohol is the warmth in my stomach as I drink it, and the way the beer clings to the side of my glass.
All in all a good beer, but I’m not sure if the new brewer over at Coop has the same flair Chase brought to the recipes.
Oh here comes the buzz, yep I guess this is an imperial strength beer.
I’m halfway through a 750 mL bottle and feeling nice…
Gimmie!
I’ll see what I can do.
Name your price…

Hi Deadpan 🙂 hope all are well
I was told about an interesting article that mr ditto swoon posted on here? I will search for it.
Hello again Hugh and Dre!
Is this the link you might be looking for?
http://www.salon.com/technology/feature/2000/06/14/love/print.html
It was LostRalph! thank you! 🙂 I chanced searching for Courtney Love and found it right away. Good stuff.
Jack called.
I swooooned.
My phone did NOT play White and Nerdy as the ring tone.
*cough*
Saw this guy playing tonight:

really cool Van, thanks for the link.
“115 degree weather in OK. A Golden Ale in a frosty mug will cool you down nicely.”
Beer snob/geek says, ” Who would waste a good beer in a frosted mug?”
No really I’m trying to control it, please drink what you enjoy. Even if it is from a *shudder* frosty mug…
ok so Re: ditto’s post of Courtney Love taking on the music industry..although I TOTALLY agree with her, I have t doubt she actually wrote it. BUT, regardless of the author, she is totally right on.
Record labels are so evil. The only people who are losing money off illegal downloads are the labels. screw them I say!
Her idea is pretty cool if it could work. I mean couldn’t an artist basically create that “global village” through their own site? Have a log in for your fans to access a special place on your site to listen to previews or whatever else and offer the tip service through there.
Or create a separate site where bands have pages you can log in, save your favorite artists and access whatever it is they want to share, leave what you want. Make it be a direct contact between fans and the artists. As an obsessed music fan that would be awesome. I mean back in the day when everything was word of mouth or found reading every music zine out there, the connection to artists was so difficult. Today with the internet tubes we are all closer to bands then we ever were.
Being that its Courtney and I despise her, I would have to argue that what she is saying she COULD already do. Trent did it, Radiohead did it, Brand New did it. Does Courtney Love have enough fans who would care enough about her work?
There are bands i would sign up for something like that if it was available. I think its up to the band to make it happen. If enough bands went that way, if bigger bands helped out smaller bands… it would be pretty bad ass. I know there are artists like Greg Dulli (you knew he would come into the conversation eventually) who still is fighting with his old label over Afghan Whigs rights. Its sad. He has Afghan Whigs music that he can’t do anything with because of the old label. Very very sad.
Ok, sorry for taking over Deadpan with a music industry rant. 🙂
I only got halfway through that speech from Courtney, so I’m basing htis more on your response.
But I will say that I know of one artist who is completely supported by her fans, and did a 50 state plus Canada tour last year, and she is touring a large part of the US again. Just doing mostly small venues and house parties. Admittedly Marian Call is closer to Vanamonde’s tastes than the mighty Hugh and Dre’s rock preferences. But it is an interesting proof of a n artist succeeding only through social media.
http://www.mariancall.com/
Regardless of the genre, she did what Courtney was talking about. And her album is coming out on Bandcamp which I saw was a site that does EXACTLY what Courtney is sorta talking about.. you can see your music directly to your fans sans a record label.
and according to this little snippet cut from their site, some indie rock regulars use it too:
In the past 30 days alone, artists have made $627,373 USD using Bandcamp, and monthly sales growth since our launch looks like this:
To find out why forward thinkers like Sufjan Stevens, Amanda Palmer, and Zoë Keating call Bandcamp home sweet home, watch this
Now if some slightly larger names started.. that would be cool.
Hugh and i did some TV catching up last weekend- I was not liking the new series of Dr Who but those 2 episodes about “the flesh” might have made up for everything else. Even Neil Gaiman’s episode didn’t do it for me.. and I LOOOOOOOVE Neil Gaiman.
True Blood is AWESOME
Excited to watch Torchwood tomorrow maybe if we have time.
Also really looking forward to Harry Potter, New Dresden book.. lots of cool scifi stuff.
In other music news, I just started reading Ozzy’s autobiography, so far it is oztastic: http://www.amazon.com/I-Am-Ozzy-Osbourne/dp/B004X8W42M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310252893&sr=8-1

Umm, I thought all of the episodes were in Wales? And please avoid spoilers since it may be a year before netflix allows me to catch up.
I’m just wondering if they remove the UK bit on the UK release, like umm we know Wales is in the UK.

Will you be futterwacking with the comely Alice?

There are times I feel like I’ve lost my muchness…
“I make the path”
Ok, now Alice is starting to flirt with me.
“clothe this enormous girl.”
Why? I’d be quite happy if she wasn’t clothed.
“Why is it you’re always too small, or too tall?”
No comprende too tall, I don’t believe a woman can be too tall.
I wonder if they make a vorpal pocketknife, it would be much handier in this modern age than a vorpal sword.
“If it ain’t Alice, it ain’t dead.”

They’re growing. I think they do distribute outside MN a little bit. Their newest project is constructing a Stone-style restaurant on site. It was illegal to do so, but the state legislature passed a bill nicknamed the “Surly Bill.”
Of course, the legislature failed MN in many other ways this year, so it was a small thing all-in-all…

Does anyone have a favorite “Mango Salsa” recipe they’d like to share?
Yes.
Mango Avacado Salsa
1 each Mango, Avacado, diced 1/4″
1/4 cup minced onions (or 1 tbs dried)
1 tbs line juice
1 tbs cilantro
salt to taste
Combine & let sit for at least 30 minutes.
You can replace the mangoes with peaches or oranges. Peaches with mangoes also works well.
Swell, thanks!
Well, howse about that for Deadpan Power!!!
Can you sub glazed donuts for the mangoes?
It’s salsa! You can do anything you want! 🙂
Though I won’t guarantee it tastes good that way.

ok, we’ve decided (Bunny let me choose actually more like)
A Dirty Shame
2004 NC-17 88 minutes
Acclaimed filmmaker John Waters returns to his favorite city, Baltimore, for this side-splitting film starring Tracey Ullman as Sylvia Stickles, a convenience-store worker who becomes a raging sexaholic after a minor accident. But her newfound lust is more a hassle than a gift, igniting class warfare on her street, Harford Road. Johnny Knoxville, Chris Isaak and Selma Blair co-star. Waters’s muse, Patty Hearst, makes her usual cameo
Johnny Knoxville? Isn’t he that Asshole guy?
Er.. Jackass
Cooking in the kitchen. Hubba, hubba

They were water marking the word vagina on the screen. What else am I suppose to think?

Holy crap! Full frontal male nudity!
We paused the movie. Now it doesn’t want to restart. Please stand by…
Why are they doing the hokey pokey?
Now… Cj needs popcorn. I think she really just needed to cool off from this hot movie
Ok, where were we.. Oh yes, doing the hokey pokey

This is not a child friendly movie
Baby has shaved his balls, do you want to see them?
Ray Ray is magical. He dry humps trees and the tree’s flowers bloom. Neato.

She can be motorboated from a couple feet away…

The couple that throws up on each other to get off … i think that’s just odd…
There’s no such thing as bad sex. Based on this movie, I have to disagree
The road to he’ll is sex
The road to he’ll? He’ll what/

WTF?!?

Old lady sex. Ewww!
They are all astrogasming from the headbutt sex
Really?
Whew. The movie is over. I’m kind of glad
um.
Why was David Hasselhoff even in this?
Why was he in the Sponge Bob movie? He’s the Hoff
I’d apologize to Bunny for choosing such a bad movie, but I heard her giggle more than once and it had nothing to do with her sitting on the Zhu Zhu pet.
It was a cute movie. I wouldn’t go much beyond that, thouh
Also, crap. Now I think Johnny Knoxville is kinda hot.
Dammit. Do. Not. Want.
I did make real popcorn with real butter.

Thanks to Cj for a fun evening
Well done you dos!
Sounds like Ms. Ullman was trying to make a John Waters film.
LOL!!!
I somehow missed the post that explained that film … until just now!
Some how I thought it was written by Tracy Ullman.
I think it is brilliant that just from reading the play by play … I recognized the “John Waters” in it.
Fuck, does anyone at all remember the wonderful early 90’s indie-noise band Vanilla Trainwreck from Madison, WI? Reaps? Anyone? A very important part of my growing up they were.

For the love of Adrien Zmed … I’m just impressed they actually go to the trouble of custom fitting these vests to individual measurements.

More importantly, my kids are spending the next 3 days with their dad and I’ll be having a bit of empty nest syndrome I think. I’ve only cried once since dropping them off this morning, but I suppose it will get easier. I’m going to the movies 2 of the nights they are gone, so that should help keep my mind off it.
I never felt empty nest when the girls moved out. It was more like, “Thank God!” and promptly tore out one of their bedrooms. I must be a bad mom.
I split my grocery shopping between 3 different supermarkets after dropping off the kids last week, just to delay coming home to an empty house.
I was thinking exhaust kids not bad mom

Time to go for my morning walk. Then it’s off the the bank. I think my mom must be feeling guilty about something she sent me a gross amount of money for my birthday instead of her usual $50.
Happy Birthday, Bunny!
Yes! Happy Birthday freals, Bunny!!!! :wub:
Happy birthday Bunny!
Happy birthday, Bunny!

Re: This Torchwood Business

That was Children of Earth. This is Miracle Day, and yes, it is a new season that just started on Starz on Friday.
Meh.
Any chance it is also airing on BBC America
Oh, … and this is FUN!

This is the actual reason I wandered in:

Highly satisfying.
I did.
It was swell.
Love to see that played at Dragon Con. Ha!
Fascinating. Netflix streaming accounts for 22% of North American internet traffic, 30% at peak hours.
Of course, Deadpan accounts for the remaining 70-78%. . . Just not this afternoon.
Maybe this bit of news will make a dint in the traffic:
http://mashable.com/2011/07/12/want-netflix-dvds-streaming-thatll-be-16-a-month/
Yeah I just got my email letting me know about that. I’m seriously thinking about cancelling my account in September. Maybe if it was closer to $5 a month, or put more available for streaming.

Since the announcement I’ve been thinking of going to “stream only” and buying used DVDs from Amazon as the mood strikes me.

Will Netflix play chicken with their customer base?
This Netflix thing is kind of a watershed moment for the Internet consumer.
Netflix is betting that the consumer, while not liking this price hike, will simply role over and pay it.
If they do then you can expect to see all kinds of businesses who also use the internet, do the same or start to add a fee for that service.
I used to pay more for Netflix before they had streaming and I had to get more discs per month. I pay at least $60 a month for cable and don’t watch it as much as I watch Netflix. They have been offering more and more for less and less and are finally in a situation where they need to charge more in order to make a profit considering that streaming was FAR more popular than anyone thought it would be. $16 a month for all the streaming I can eat and a disc at a time is chump change. Let’s be honest about this and compare it to the cost of cable TV or renting or even buying DVDs (you can get maybe 4 if you are a really thrifty shopper). The price hike is a lot to handle in one shot, but I think it is justified in this case.
Funnily enough I wasn’t that happy paying $9 a month. Now with this big of a hike it makes me do the math of how much entertainment I get from Netflix, and primarily I use the streaming service, and whether I’m getting good value for my money.
I will say that since you are allowed to stream from multiple devices I share my account with my Dad and little sisters, so I may consider continuing to pay for it. But like many now my budget is tight, and I already put my account on hold once to save money.
I also have a problem believing that they need that big of a hike all of a sudden. It doesn’t seem likely that costs would have ballooned so much, so fast.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-20072648-93/netflixs-rough-weekend-sign-of-things-to-come/
etc. Long story short (too late). Netflix managed to sign a ton of great contracts because no one thought they would do as well as they did. Now that Netflix is the shiznit, as contracts come up for renewal, everyone is demanding huge fees from them. If they lose Starz, they are up shit creek without a paddle and Starz knows it. So Netflix isn’t just being greedy. They really do need to hike up costs so fast or they are dead in the water. That is, at least, in my humble opinion. I fully admit that there could be more to the story that I just don’t know about. Calling any big company honest is about as naive as thinking a politician cares about people.
Hi… what is this place?

I am still working on my growly deep voice…
JOe, new season of Torchwood started last Friday. LOVE.
meh.
Not on my TiVo 🙁
It’s on one of the pay channels now, JOe – Starz? One of those.
Oh. Well, I guess I feel a little better about missing it then.
I don’t do pay channels.
Well … unless you consider how much I pay for the standard Internet/cable package. Then I guess I ONLY do pay channels.
🙁

A little over an hour into the new book. It’s nice to have Dotrice back, though I think he’s doing something very strange with Daenerys voice this time around.
Yes, please!

And FB birthdays outta the way.
Wow Ed, that game looks incredible. Reminds me of the interface in Minority Report.
Bunny: Happy birthday! 🙂
My Netflix account is also shared with my sister. Currently, DVDs are being shipped to me. I watch so few of them that I think I might go streaming-only before September 1, too.
I’d better catch up on all the Pixar movies I’ve missed before then, in that case. Most of them are DVD-only on Netflix. 🙁

Life’s a beach…or a journey to one anyway.
Heading off to catch up with the rest of my family down at the coast after work today. So, once again, I’m counting on you guys to be Deadpan while I’m away.
Now, time for Mr. Dotrice to join me on the road.

Did anyone listen to StarShipSofa 190, from May? There is a short story, Mohammed’s Angel, that just perplexes me. Because I don’t understand how it is a “story”. I’d love for someone to explain it to me. :puzzled:
Didn’t catch that. For some reason Starship Sofa never caught on with me.
I suspect I should give it another chance.
It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Some fascinating fact articles, some great narrations, some boring as hell articles, and some simply bad readings. All wrapped in a specfic magazine that couldn’t possibly be expected to be consumed in one sitting.
Overall, I like the SSS fiction more often than I liked the Fantasy & Science Fiction stories (when I had a sub to it.)
Yes, but I can’t remember any details of the story.
spoilers: A stuck up woman calls her mother to find out if she’s survived the explosion at her house of worship. Turns out the mom is an even bigger: bleep:
over the course of their conversation, it comes out that the bomber was the moms neighbor. And, I think, that they’d slept together. The end.
Errr
A day late, Happy Bunny Day!
My arm is really killing me this morning. Well, not “Dr. Strangelove” killing me. At least, not yet. It’s actually been hurting for a few days. I thought it was better yesterday but today it’s worse.
I’m going to go see a trained medical professional in an hour and have him tell me that my elbow hurts.
They shoot horses don’t they?
Yes, but horses don’t have elbow’s so I think you are safe.
… or opposable thumbs which is why the National Sugar Cube repository is safe!
In other news, I have tennis elbow. Yea.

One final Netflix thought (from me):
We’ve all read Animal Farm. The cool pigs always become the cruel humans in the end.

Netflix – I switched to streaming only. With RedBox so readily available, makes Netflix sort of unnecessary although, if I have to watch a specific movie, I could see it being an issue MAYBE. The fact is, I can easily do an Amazon UnBox for just about any movie I want to see.. I think? With the changes in my life, I really need to cut back as much as I can everywhere. Cable TV is going to be the next to go.
I’ve already accepted the fact that my hair just simply won’t be as awesome as it’s been due to my inability to afford it. Groupon will save my hair, I’m thinking.
Oh, also…
Transformers 3.
Here’s the thing. I can realize clearly that it was tossed together somewhat. The special FX are amazing. Shia and BumbleBee still make me swoon. The pretty girl needs to eat something. Good grief, why do they have to be so THIN? Is it like… seriously? I go to the movie and just feel like I’m the size of Australia when I’m looking at this skinny girl. I suppose that is part of my not wanting to eat anything EVER thing right now. 🙁
I enjoyed being there for the fun of the movie. It lacked dialogue and the plot was interesting, but not enthralling. I did appreciate Sentinel Prime being played by Leonard Nimoy… I had no idea. I didn’t research anything before seeing it, obviously. There was, I thought, supposed to be a friend of mine in the movie, but I didn’t see him. I also admit that seeing it at the drive-in did make for less-lustery FX.
I still had fun though. I could have left earlier.. It was definitely too long.
haven’t seen the movie yet put from the pics
give that girl a sammich or 10.
women need curves. with out them they look like little boys and that is just creepy.
They keep them thin so that they can stack more into a trailer, makes it easier to pull out a model with a different paint job when they want variety.
Maybe it just needed more Larry the Cable Guy.
or maybe more cow bell
Hater.

Is that the one where Jack has a hilarious pratfall and the landlord suspects the 3 of them of hanky-panky? You know, the one where the sleazy neighbor stops by?
^Haven’t seen that one.
I do remember something about Suzzane Somers eating a slice of cake.
And John Ritter wearing a glow in the dark condom color like “Old Glory.”

No, it was just a condom.
