So Farpoint needs 120$ for the year to keep going or Deadpan specific needs $120 to keep it on the server?
Do you think us Canadians are taking political correctness too far?
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/dire-straits-money-nothing-censored-broadcast-panel-rules-20110112-175448-551.html
I believe the latter, Lo.
I think the $$ is completely do-able. What I have no input/opinion on is whether to stick with FPM or not. Well, besides to say that I fear change.
Agreed^ cause Im too lazy for my own thoughts. Also cause its well said.
Agreed^ cause I think I’m well-spoken. Also “$120”
Agreed^ cause I think I’m well spoken in saying youre well spoken.
This looks like a job for the Qwestors…
“job”
“ob”

I do worry though that if FPM has got that desperate for funds, are they going to be around in a years time.
Well, looks like I definitely need to catch some UN now.
Nothing like waking up from surgery to some Deadpan fart jokes 🙂
The surgery was successful. Well, I think it was anyway. I have a dull pain in the back of my mouth now.

You’re in us?
I’m listening to today’s wall street journal on Audible. Some couple renovated their 243 sq ft maser closet for $82,000.
Wee doggie!
Oh, and to be clear, it’s still a closest. It’s not like they turned it into a extra bedroom or something.
$82,000 is almost half of what we paid for our entire house.
I haven’t listened to today’s episode yet, but I wouldn’t be to worried about FPM dissappearing anytime soon. Mike wouldn’t know what to do with himself if he didn’t have FPM. LOL As far as DP being hosted by FPM, it’s up to Jack. If he wants to stay on the FPM servers, I’ll contribute to make it happen. If he wants to find a cheaper hosting solution on his own, I’ll contribute to that as well.
I bough a duplex 9 years a go for $92k. Sounds like a better investment than a closet.
Here’s the full story. That bit I relayed turns out to not even be the most extreme part.

243 sq ft is 1/4 my total house
Mine too, Lo!
That’s a CLOSET!
Thats amore! And also claustrophobia.
You probably shouldn’t be able to punt a football from one end of your closet to the other.
So, I’ve received some lovely and humbling emails in response to this episode. Thank you all.
I’m weeping joyously through my enormous fake eyelashes right now.
Spotify and Shazam make a deal.

Wait, who puts a chandelier in their closet?
Well, I don’t know anything about this guy, but I think the Colorado contingent of the Deadpan should be reasonably proud right now:

I can only answer for myself, JJ. Y.E.S.
Ok, I throw in with the “yes” camp too but only if there is some playground equipment involved as well.
Playdates are fun.
I’m just gonna put that out there…
Mommy playdates are even more fun 😉
Huh.

I’ll try to get my UHFsies in soon.
Jack, if you do want to move, I can help get you running, I’d be willing to chip in for a years worth too.
12 months of hosting on GoDaddy is only around $48 BTW
?!?!
Jeremy – do you know if there is a limit on bandwidth/downloads with that?.
10 gb of space, unlimited bandwidth
http://www.godaddy.com/Hosting/web-hosting3.aspx?ci=8971
150gb for 24$ more
Um.
There are treats involved.
Ryah is a mommy too.
Just thought I’d throw that out there.
cough
I mean.. um Bunny.
LOL.
I’m laughing at myself right now.
Thank you, Van!
Jeremy, GoDaddy + Internet Archive was the leading candidate if we were to move. Thank you also. We should talk.
So I’m thinking we should set up a sponsor sign-up sheet.
Pick a month(s) and send Jack the fee and then every episode that month get’s the “This episode of The Deadpan is Brought to you by …(insert what ever you want Jack to say HERE.)” Just like NPR … only spankier.
You can count me in!
10-12$ a month is a pretty small price to pay. Assuming we can get 8-10 of us to do it… 😉
FWIW – I had an odd thought and went back and checked the last few episodes. The farpoint media bumper isn’t even getting attached to the end of the episode anymore. Isn’t that supposed to be automatic?
This article has been getting a fair bit of buzz lately. Finally got around to reading it myself. I haven’t quite decided what I think of it yet. While I definitely agree that most Western parents are too permissive, this Chinese “model” strikes me as extreme in the opposite:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704111504576059713528698754.html
I do my best not to fluff up my kids. I give them encouragement, but try to save real praise for when they achieve. I do believe there’s no better way to build up a kid’s self esteem then when they really achieve something. And they know when they’ve gotten it right – the look on their faces when they manage something new that they’ve been working at makes the string of mistakes all worth it.
Still, I don’t think going all Marine drill sergeant on a kid is the way to get them there.
Email replies to write. . . . In the meantime:

I keep reading “Shanghai Scrap” as “Shanghai is crap”. They should probably rethink that URL.
Anyway, Inadequate email responses sent, with inadequate thanks. I think we’ll be able to keep this thing afloat on our own terms, whatever we decide. I won’t be making any extra money off of any of you, but that was NEVER the intention.
Lots of good ideas have been bandied about today, so I’d like to come together and make a decision about how best to handle this.
Anyway. You have all been great friends.

And Happy Birthday to Mr. Mangan.
Now I need to listen to this episode of the Deadpan so I can find out what this hosting talk is all about…
Best quote from “Why Chinese Mothers…”:
The rest of it is … meh. Opinions differ and the author seems so overly stereotypical that I sort of doubt the piece isn’t exaggerated or tongue-in-cheek.
Happy Birthday, indeed. Hope the well wishes are helping to make it a good one already.
I think I would be put off the food:

|Off out for a walk to see a building that has bits over 1300 years old.
Mr. From Texas
I agree with your take on child rearing.
:jack: I think the biggest thing to take from the comments about hosting is that we still REALLY want the :pan: to exist. There are reasons to stay with FPM and reasons to seek hosting elsewhere. We can and will stand behind you and support you with whatever decision you make.
BTW, are there actually ANY other free options out there? If not, then I think we should just be thankful that FPM was free as long as it was.
Happy Birthday, Jack!
Hmmmm:

But, yeah… Let’s just say… I continue to be thankful for this day that brought such an amazing person into our lives.
morning pan and happy birthday jack!
Van dont all Brits live in castles over 1300 years old?
^wakka
Anywho, as for Birthday Boy’s conundrum, I’m on the side of a different Panite giving 10-15 one month. I think it would be the easiest on everyones pocketbook and will allow the feeling for all that we’re contributing to the community. And if someone finds they just cant/dont want to do it, its no big bother.

:wub:
I found the perfect way to annoy my hubby
1) Get into a position where you’re not suppose to have many stressors in your life.
2) Agree to help work on a convention
3) Become very stressed.
Hubby is not happy with me right now. :silly:
Sounds totally sensible, Lo. If it’s $120 up front, rather than $10/month we might need to think through that, but $10/month with each person taking a month is a wonderful way for everyone to contribute. And $15/month would allow Jack to bank some cash and buy that mic and whatever else . . .
Good morning, upsidedown smileys
Good morning, EssBee :face:
Look its EssBee!!!!
I dont think the time frame will be a problem if we just decide on something. Well… if JACK decides on something. Or we decide for him. Or him for us. Or us for us. Or we for him. Or bunnies from Jesus.

I read a great book a few years back called Foreskin’s Lament. The author grew up as a fundamentalist Jew and when bad shit happened to him, or he imagined that it would, he’d say “That’s SO God”
Re: listener support
If all the hosting money is needed upfront then we just have to make sure everyone picks their month and gets their money into Jack’s paypal by the end of the month.
I think it is quite do-able.
On a side note. If you get the book Torch of Freedom by David Weber (or at least look at it at the book store). There’s a special deal in the back where you can get a bunch of free e-books from Baen. I know Baen is good for freebies anyway but still a decent deal. I got January’s selection which was eight books.
JJ speaks wisdom.
JJ = Jesus? Think about it, wont you?
Happy birthday Jack!
Does justa JEsus even post here?
And Happy Birthday :jack: !!! I already said as much on FB, but it means more on the DP board.
Re: Chinese Mothers: While I agree the piece is somewhat exaggerated, there is a some truth to it; at least regarding Asian families in general. Parents are very strict regarding scholastic performance, and future career paths. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that school in Asia is totally different than here: it is much more difficult, and a lot of status is tied into performance.
Re:Chinese Parenting article
I think the truly interesting part is what is written but not being said.
That is …
– From early in the child’s life, Chinese Parents show an intense interest in their kids activities – which in turn lets the kids know that they REALLY care and therefore prompting the kid to care
– Chinese parents are willing to spend a ZILLION of their own personal hours with the kid, helping them study, practice an instrument, go over flashcards and practice tests. The parents do this instead of watching TV, surfing the internet, playing video games, reading or doing other thing we humans consider personally enjoyable.
This is the TRUE cultural difference.
While the generic western parent looks for DVD’s, TV programs, video games, et that they can stick their kid in front of (or some sports practice they can drop their kid off at) so that they can get a few minutes or even an hour of their own life back. The Chinese Parent is will to give up all the “me” time that it takes to help their kid excel.
Lo: I agree about the payment plan. This helps Jack, and it helps Mike too.
Ed: We can always do the payment plan after the first installment. I guess it all depends on the details.

Some habits die hard, I don’t feel you should advertise when you make a contribution to anything.
Its not about advertising, Van. Pretty sure we were just trying to make this fun “ala NPR” as well as help Jack out.
Some of that catholic upbringing sticks no matter how hard I try to ditch it.
Yeah you should really have that looked at, Van
I tend toward that as well, Van, but I think that this could be a lot of fun. And I think it’s less “helping Jack” than helping all of us keep this beloved community going.
I guess I do want DP to stay with FPM. I feel like it’s not my business or my call to make, but I feel a certainly unexplainable loyalty to FPM . . .
Also, and Cj you know I love you long time, I do have an issue with GoDaddy politically speaking . . . which I’ll swallow and shut up about if the majority of us or Jack as our lord and master chooses.
I’ll flow with the majority. The less decision making I have to do these days, the better.
^ I also have an issue politically speaking with Evil, Inc. and you see how I whore myself out to it even so.
EssBee, agreed. I really would prefer FPM over GoDaddy for the same reasons I prefer shopping at my local record shop over Best Buy.
“swallow and shut up”
“It’s pledge week at at Dead Pan which means the “Funky Cold Medina” bed music will go away when we meet our campaign goal of $1250 and a six pack of PBR.”
“SWALLOW! AND! SHUT! UP!”
Rhetts on a fucking roll… and on to something…
ZOMG, Rhettro, that’s the UHF palooza.
Van, I agree Catholic upbringing is a heavy cross to bare.
(sorry couldn’t help myself but seriously)
I find myself rebelling agents it or falling back in to it all the time.
LO: I think it just means I should be on something.
I guess what I had in mind Van was “fun” sponsorship stuff like “This week’s Deadpan is brought to you by CJ’s playdates! Keeping us exorcised since 2009!”
or “This week’s Deadpan is brought to you by Pulp Fiction … who dares you to say “what” again !”
Only it would be up to the sponsoring party to write their own tag lines.
BTW – I might suggest, everyone who would lie to pitch in should contact Jack via e-mail before the next episode and then he can put out a call for sponsorship on that episode in case there are any non-forum listeners who would care to pitch in …
Once we know what the pool of available donors is then we can figure out how much more we might need.
justa a thought from justaj0e
out for a while now
They changed the zodiac signs? Who even has the authority to do that?
Im a fucking Aquarius now. But Ill always be a Pisces at heart.
Also, a heart welcome to our new Ophiuchus overlords!
+y
I’m a Gemini, I guess? Instead of a Cancer . . . I have a friend who drops astrological references on me sometimes and I cringe. I guess that’s all changed now!
Sorry to all of you who have to re-do your astrological themed tattoos….
LOL
Capricorn here. Western astrology should incorporate the Chinese signs – – I’d way rather be the dragon than the fucking mountain goat.
Maybe I should check my horoscope?
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone. Here and at FB.
So what does this mean for the 13 colonies?! Do people have to move now?
I’m Aries instead of Taurus, so now I have a sheep I don’t believe in.
From NBC:
Capricorn: Jan. 20 – Feb. 16
Aquarius: Feb. 16 – March 11
Pisces: March 11- April 18
Aries: April 18- May 13
Taurus: May 13- June 21
Gemini: June 21- July 20
Cancer: July 20- Aug. 10
Leo: Aug. 10- Sept. 16
Virgo: Sept. 16- Oct. 30
Libra: Oct. 30- Nov. 23
Scorpio: Nov. 23- Nov. 29
Ophiuchus: Nov. 29- Dec. 17
Sagittarius: Dec. 17- Jan. 20
I wonder if this is going to be like Pluto though, with the plebs (like me) determined to think it’s still a bloody planet.
So no Astronomer is going to tell me I’m not a Taurus.
As for zany sponsorship………… I think that’s a wonderful, fun idea – – and a fresh new way to contribute to the shows. Let’s just do that as a new segment, regardless of contributions.
I think many would like to contribute anonymously to the “Keep the Lights On” fund, and that’s cool.
I think I’m leaning toward two choices:
-Free altogether/Reeaally cheap
-FPM/Mennenga
“fucking mountain goat”
Who knew that was a sign. Sounds pretty cool, imo. 😉
there’s no way in he’ll I’ll accept being a Gemini
So now I’m a Sagittarian. This whole thing sounds like a cheap publicity stunt from Madame Zola.
My hubby’s sign didn’t change though. What’s with that?
He’s a constant in your life TEB..like Pi.
I like pie 😆
Zola one that I want…. ooh ooh oooh
Every astrological sign is suddenly 50x cooler if you add a “Fucking” prefix.
What’s your sign?
I’m a Fucking Sagittarius.
I’m not sure I want to say fucking Aries..people may think I’m welsh.
LOL Van!
Fucking Ophiuchus….. yeah no. Not that one
And God Damn it Jack. I just realized. Another thing you share with my hubby. Effing Sagittarius. (under the new system anyway 😉 )
Fucking Stegosaurus is an awesome sign. 😉
Old system – Ha! Different! :ninja:
Would it be TMI if I said I wish I was effing my Sagittarius right now? :whistle:
Actually it appears it only applies to people born this year, so we are all safe.
hahahahha
Fucking A.
Van, Answer your e-mail! I’ve got things to do you know.
So far, my lunch date hasn’t cancelled. Expecting it to happen though. *grumble* stupid snow, stupid cold *grumble* :pinch:
Still -22C here. -32 with the wind chill. I’m almost hoping lunch will be cancelled. :blink:
*grumble* stupid beautiful sunny 50° day in the middle of January *grumble*
*giggle*
Ok, I have things to do. Bunny out for a bit. 😎
Looks like I gave up my life balancing ways (Libra) and became a fucking virgin (Virgo).
Also “fucking virgin”
Wow Bunny, this Zodiac change HAS worked out! 🙂
I’ll be right… Oh wait… you meant…
Lo :angry:
MWA^
Jack :blush:
Ok, I’m really gone now.
I guess I’m a fucking Gemini, but I used to be FUCKING CANCER.
Answered TEB, can I also recommend dropbox again for people wanting to transfer files less than 2 gig:

Van. Sent. However I notice it’s still 7 meg. Let me know if there are any issues and I’ll resend.
I tried it in one and individual. Still the same. Sent individual as that was what I had anyway.

the title acronyms to C.L.A.S.S.
Coincidence?
“Coriander Seeds” will NOT be the name of our band.
ten to two!! really? holy crap, I had a two hour lunch. I should do that more often :cheerful:
I have had my 4 to 5 fruits and vegetables already today!
I feel so healthy!
I am 3 of my 5 fruits and vegetables.
*lurks*
Bunny, unless you were eating your lunch on a jet, I think 10 to 2 is four hours.
*lurks the lurker*

Nope, she too skinny.

Just realized I asked for an audio email…. wonder if Jack is going to send me one.
Anyone anyone? Send me smurf audio.. I have alone time tonight.
um.. so yeah, i can be “alone with the audio” and i have a stupid idea and I wanna try to record it.
Well, I suppose you could dip her in caramel for a little more substance.

Tonight we are having some italian sausages in marinara. Trying a really decent looking jar sauce (Cub “Culinary Circle” store brand) for convenience, but I am planning on braising the sausages in wine…
“having some”
“braising the sausages”
“sausages”
Whut? It hasn’t been that long since…. grr…. I’ll get this fixed.
Damn, EssBee, I was in the process of retyping to what you posted and it posted my simple, “sausages”
Not now, though – – I have to go to hell and back……………………. See you on the other side. Thanks for all of the b-day wishes.
“simple sausages”
Drive safe, birthday boy
“in the process”
“Jar sauce.”
Ha, I don’t even know what that means
It means a happy Binks.
EW!
Came back to finally make that joke, Rhett, but you worked it out first.
Rhett “worked out” Binks’ “Jar sauce”
“Binks”
I may have to see a love story at the cinema tomorrow.
This is filling me with horror.
“Came back”

Here’s Binks in yer eye…

We’re debating between: Season of the Witch, King’s Speech, Green Hornet, and Tron
CD: 90 Min IPA
My GOD that’s great beer
I’d only recommend Tron in the 3D, otherwise ok to wait for video.
King’s Speech was great. I’m going to give Green Hornet a shot. I liked Tron. And I think I might avoid Witch.
Mangan update … he has reached the armpit of the universe and is about to extract the treasure (think of that scene from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” where he is just about to snatch the statue from the pedestal).
“give Green Hornet a shot”
heh!
“snatch the statue”
Well … Jack has just hit that portion of re-entry where there is L.O.S.
Not before I got to use the word “capricious” and he said that warranted another “slippery nipple” for me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_nipple) so I’m thinking “all systems are GO”.
BTW – for those of you who have the have skilz in the ways of these sort of things … we need to find Jack a NEW, GOOD, FREE voice mail option.
Seems the world is telling Jack that it’s time to shake up the “same old, same old”!
CW: The Kids Are Alright
“Alright”
This homemade, Hard Cider I just opened is flat. :/
EssBee, I have that movie here too, but I haven’t had any non-kid time to watch it yet. I’m sure Netflix will be watching it back someday. Let me know what you think.
CPIMM: “The Kids Are All Shite” – Mikrofisch
Going to watch Doctor Who episode “The Hungry Earth” with Darcy now.
King’s Speech all the way Essbee..
Well Pan, spent the last three hours playing Halo:Reach, 4am here time to say goodnight mush.

I believe I have Google Voice invites… yes. I have three. It’s free, voicemail, that doesn’t disappear if it isn’t used every thirty days.
On the other hand, Google has disappeared services before. Like the notepad thing and the other thing that I’m blanking on now.
If Jack wants to check it out, I can send an invite.
Well love story avoidance successful, off to see Conviction.
Google Wave NS? Of course that still exists for now, until they kill it all the way.
King’s Speech it is!
Good choice, EssBee. I thought it was one of the best movies I saw last year.
I am so hungover that I appear to be cantilevered.
If you sober up will you become canilevered?
I would settle for “non spinning”.
Well Conviction was all very worthy.
I believe the caterpillar GrandCentral blossomed into the Google Voice butterfly. Nomad, I will look into it, but if an Invite is needed, then that would rock greatly.
I’m not sure the deal with the K7 account. It sounded like they’d gone out of business, but their site is still there. It hasn’t been 90 days since the last VM; it’s only been about a month.
Stupid hassle.
Broken links on their site aren’t very encouraging….. Let’s look at GoogleVoice.

Jack – I dropped a gVoice invite to your mmmmmmmmm address. Beyond the occasional text message from someone looking to score some weed, I haven’t had any issues or complaints with the service.
People who mistaken text the wrong number while looking for drugs have really interesting spelling habits.
Not sure I’m that positive about the future:

Yes. Mine is set directly to voicemail. It’s a Do Not Disturb option. Maybe Jack hasn’t turned it on yet?

Ugh, water heater hell. Chaching.
Finished watching Paprika again. What a wild and trippy film. Nolan says it was one of the inspirations for Inception, though Paprika really captures the bizarre changeability of dreaming.
I can’t imagine how Wolfgang Petersen could make a live-action version.
I think I have Paprika in my queue, based on your past recommendation, ditto.
Anyhoo – I was unaware of the DND feature for the voicemail. I have turned on the DND. Repeat, I have turned on the DND.

Jack: I think you’ll like it, but the plot is… rather convoluted. I don’t have a problem with that, but others do. And I think it works well with the concept of dream terrorists. Anyway, let me know what you think when you finally watch it.
I once had paprika in my queue, but it was a little spicy and kinda burned so I had to switch to something a little more bland.
Over analysing sitcoms can lead to silly thinking.
Trying to decide between “True Grit”, “Black Swan” and “The Kings Speech” for tonight.
Anyone have a recommendation?
Well I’ve only see The King’s Speech’ JJ, so I would recommend that one.
+n
The King’s Speech, jaj, though Black Swan was great too.
CW: A Mighty Heart
Without having seen the King’s Speech, that still sounds like a no-lose set of film choices, J0e.
I’d recommend True Grit.
Umm yes:
http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-self-defense-books-women-who-want-to-lose-fight/
This is old but news to me:
http://reachforthewall.com/2009/07/24/suit-story/?hpid=artslot
The really interesting thing is that they apparently banned zippers too.
So.
Went to see “The King’s Speech” but couldn’t make it in time to catch the showing, the alternative just happened to be “True Grit”.
Wow!
Brilliantly done. Turned out to even be a good date film.
Coen brothers do it again!
A link of my own to add:
As if it were possible for Christopher Lee to get any more badass:
http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=27214

Dracula, Saruman, Count Dooku, the Wicker Man guy, and now, Udo Dirkschneider.
Another day with nothing to do, I had better get the dice out..
Another case of someone at google having a sense of humour.
Go to Google Maps and select directions
Enter start as USA
Destination as JAPAN
Have a look point 31 on the direction list
Yeah I know it’s similar to the China one.
Well, no doubt coincidental, but Jack’s news about Christopher Lee comes along at about the same time my daughter and I were watching Fellowship of the Ring last night.
I pretty much had to make her go to bread with a promise that we’d start The Two Towers tonight.
Van, Google maps does some variation of that every time a set of directions crosses a body of water that can’t be driven across.
Yup UH, pity they missed on the hoary old text adventure vibe:
You can’t get there from here.
It’s still Effing cold. What happened to the Chinook that was promised to us?
Did you forget to give it gas money TEB?
As for the Christopher Lee album. We have an album with Rhapsody of Fire where he does some narration.
LR, the weather should be paying me. I have heating costs you know.
Yesterday there were only a few cookies in the cookie jar. I told hubby I’d make more sometime this week once we’ve finished off what we had. I see the cookie jar is empty and washed this morning. I wonder if that’s a hint…
I saw “The King’s Speech” last night. It was really, really good.
.
.
.
Colin Firth absolutely deserves the Golden Globe he won for Best Actor, Drama.
^Oops. I was trying to warn for Golden Globes spoilers, forgetting that WP strips out anything enclosed in pointy brackets because it reads them as HTML tags. Sorry.
Speaking of effin cold, today’s high is only supposed to hit 25. Well, 25C that is. 🙂
IMHO – “True Grit” is also quite nomination worthy.
I went expecting action adventure type film but it played out more as a drama (with action in it). It was very rich with “character building”.
Mmmm Colin Firth is made of deliciousness.
Misread as “Colon Mirth.”
Funny Rhett. Currently -24C here
Jack: I hereby dub him Christopher “Motherfucking Badass” Lee. He’s earned it. 🙂
We are being taunted by Rhettro. 🙁
“Colon Mirth.”
So so so so much different connotation with that extra “o”.
Well I think I need to take a hint and make some cookies
Later Panites
Taunted? no… Taun-tauned? maybe.
And I thought you smelled on the outside?!
^I guess I should have used Van’s “crap joke alert” qualifier before that last post.

Today’s pop quiz
I shall start listing actors and (WITHOUT SEARCHING THE NET) you guess what they have in common.
😥
😥
:pout:
Jon Polito
:cwy:
John Goodman
yeah. that.
and… :ftb: Who asked you for your opioinoniinoninoion of how fast I’m posting my freaking comments?
huh? who?
because it wasn’t ME.. dumbass.
What’s wrong CJ?
Both of their names sound like JOHN?
um.
Someone called me crying and it upset me. I don’t like to hear people cry.
I was just /venting.
Yes but when I add the next name … they all won’t. 🙂
Please ignore me and continue with your quiz about what
Jon Polito, John Goodman etc.. have in common.
*pat’s CJ on head*
There there lil’ lady. Have one of TEB’s cookies!
Steve Buscemi
*waits to post last name – scanning the classroom for raised hands*
last name on the list …
Frances McDormand
I shall go and look for lunch and check for answers after!
Fargo?
CP: You Think I Ain’t Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire — Queens of the Stone Age
Ah. Now I see.
ahhhh … but Goodman and Polito weren’t in Fargo
Yes. I figured that out, but it pointed me in the right direction.
ditto haz da knowledges!
Yes
All of these actors have appeared in Cohen Brothers films.
These 4 though, have a special distinction of having been in 5 or MORE of their films.
Buscemi has actually been in 6 but Frances McDormand is the leader having been in 7.
Although after sitting through “Burn after reading” I think she may wish it was one less.
I guess when the Coen Bros. like you, they really really like you.
Im n dittos branz, eaten hiz nolagez.
Well, I’ve gotta assume it’s the Coen Bros link?
lol
Jack is using his 1200 baud dial-up connection again.
They all also appear in Barton Fink, though McDormand has an uncredited role in the film.
You know, I’ve never made cookies.
I wish their was an Academy Award for “Most talented and completely overlooked character actors”.
Buscemi would win it.
The Pink Fink?
OK Deadpan, give me 90 minutes of your time and I’ll give you… Stonehenge Apocalypse!
Was he a groovy cat?
This is another SyFy original so we know It’s going to be great :biggrin:
Before I start… *hugs* Cj
I’m going to throw all rules out the window where they will freeze their little tushes off in the cold that is outside
Van, you can have one of my cookies :blush:
One last Buscemi note – (from wikipedia)
In the early 1980s, Buscemi served as a firefighter for four years on FDNY Engine 55. After 9/11, Buscemi returned to Engine 55 and worked alongside other firefighters to sift through the rubble from the World Trade Center.
Mmmmmm!
The DVR says: A radio talk show host tries to warn the world about cataclysms spurred by the titular ancient monument
oooooh, in HD even
Wow – TEB doesn’t offer her cookies to just anybody!

You know what, as far as SyFy movies go, this one wasn’t that bad. I’ve certainly seen them come out with worse.
“happy ending”
But did anyone poop a champagne cork, that’s what I want to know.
ummm, not that I saw Rhett, but then who knows what happened behind the scenes or ended up on the cutting room floor
Hubby has a parent council meeting tonight. Won’t be home til late :cwy:
I thought everyone knew Coke and Menthos don’t mix. 😉
Wait, he also has parent teacher meetings on Thursday. *sigh* I guess I won’t see much of him this week

“New toys are always tempting Ed. ”
Damn those new toys! Why won’t they just leave Ed alone?

I’ve noticed you’re quite the night owl
3-0 *sigh*. I think I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact Calgary’s not going to win this game
It is TEB, it is.
Been playing Halo:Reach, which I’ve been enjoying.
Night Pan
4-0.
Night, Van
So much silence
CD: la Divine from St. Landelin in France. It’s alot like a hoppy clear belgian golden ale.
Holy cow. The score’s tied

Sorry about your team losing TEB
Well that’s it. Game’s over. Time to read until hubby gets home
CR: All the Way To The Gallows- David Drake
Thanks Ralph but that’s the way they’ve been playing this season *shrug*
You were discussing the champagne cork in dangerously close proximity to a comment about Coke and Menthos. Talk about the Freshmaker. . .
And hey, at least the Flames salvaged 1 point for an OT loss. Not bad, after being down 4-0.
OK…. so, I’d already schedule a guest Deadpan conversation for this week, so I think we should push the Palooza stuff back a week. Both movies. I’ve only rec’d one file for each, anyway (although the Third Man stuff I got could be an entire episode.)
I was going to finish watching Third Man today but instead ran around trying (and failing) to deal with the car stuff. From what I’ve seen so far, I have no opinion.
It definitely requires a full viewing. I need to rewatch again soon, so I can listen to Van & Bunny’s related conversation.
Goodnight :mush:
Goodnight :jack:
CW: Being Human (US) Episode 1
Got about an hour into “The Two Towers” last night. I think it’s my favorite of the trilogy. My daughter continues to be enthralled and I’m enjoying the bonding.
Are you watching the theatrical or extended cut version Ed?
Which wasn’t the trainwreck I was expecting.
Really, Van? We skipped it on the DVR . . .
Morning, DP! Dallas . . . bleh.
I am wracking up ff miles, jaj, and I’m pretty sure I’ll own a Hilton after a few more trips. Not Paris, but maybe one of her little purse dogs.
I recently finished reading “Geist” by Phillippa Balantine. I found it to be a really enjoyable book and recommend to anyone else looking for another fantasy novel to read. And since it’s just under 300 pages so it is a quick read compared to some of the monsters that have been released in the fantasy and scifi gengres.
Prepare to have your teeth decay as you read:

Okay, DP, have a wonderful day! I’m off to the office for big meetings and industrious things.
One funny: one of the presentations I gave to leadership yesterday included information about our new doc type in our enterprise software, the “SB” order type. It was kinda surreal to have a 90 minute session with about 7 VPs and one P where everyone was asking for clarification and tips on SB orders. I did a lot of internal “heh”ing.
Wel it was a bit pointless Essbee, but no way as bad as the Red Dwarf US pilot.
Listening to LLAP #144
I agree with you CJ, 3D doesn’t add enough to any movie to be worth the extra cost.
morning DP, so last night I had some weird dreams where I was a Samus Aran like bounty hunter running through a very odd castle and lots of the other people and back grounds in my dreams where in Lego form. I might be playing a little to much Metroid and Lego Harry Potter.
LostRalph, I listed to LLAP last night while blowing the snow off the driveway. and that is exactly what I was thinking when I heard that.
I laughed every time I thought of the tilde also.
stetsons are cool
http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00cyvpy
Well only when the Doctor wears one.
“I listed to LLAP last night while blowing”
justa J0e, I wish I could have found a better way to put that and I tried.
hehehe
I had the same reaction. lmao
My son is home sick and I have no idea what’s wrong. He just keeps asking to go to the doctor. His tummy hurts.
Sorry to hear that CJ, I hope he gets well soon.
OK.. he feels better.
He came in.. climbed into my lap and threw up.
I always feel better after I climb into someone cuddly’s lap and throw up too.
Good thing I had that handy cup nearby.
Jack should consider updating the phone number on the website.
Just sayin’
Thanks LostRalph.
Yeah, he seems to feel better now. He brushed his teeth and has informed me that he’s going to put his clothes on and that I should probably go brush my teeth and put some clothes on too and maybe consider buying some new white pants since the dog has bitten holes into the ones I’m wearing.
I’m glad he’s so concerned about the fact that yes, I am currently lying on the sofa in my old white maternity pants which are riddled with holes.
Paints a pretty picture doesn’t it?
lol
Gosh CJ that blows. Which reminds me, time to download the latest LLAP.
.hehehe.
Well played Rhettro, well played
last night I Tweeted for the first time in months:
At least when I’m running the snow thrower my beer won’t get warm.
using the “running the snow thrower” just seams to clunky and makes is sound like the snow thrower is training for a race
“mechanically clearing the path” ?
“running my plow into winter’s slippery, soft stuff” ?
good choices also, JJ.
after transferring the snow from my driveway to the yard using a shovel, brooms, and a large machine with an auger my back is sore. I’m glad I keep some Advil in my 1-UP tin.
Well Green Hornet was silly fun.
I’m waiting for the Brown Hornet movie.
ITS NOT A BIRD.
ITS NOT A BEE
It’s the Brown Hornet, shooting champagne corks at a theater near you!
Is that when the Green Hornet gets a case of Dheli Belly?
You don’t get that if you go to a new Deli.
CPIMM: “Falling to Pieces” – Faith No More
Damn, that song is 21 years old.
UGH^
And yet, I only feel about 1000 years older, since that first came out.
Me and Mum-Ra used to jam to that song.
And now, Mum-Ra is literally falling to pieces.
Maybe he should have used duct tape.
“Somebody put Mum-Ra together.”
CP: The Way The Wind Blows — Rush
You just know, that after you’ve finished, they will be bits of him left over.
I have a problem. I’m hoping Deadpan can help and not laugh at me and my lack of home repair knowledge.
The weather has started warming up and now I have something leaking. The problem is, I don’t know what this this does, or is called and so I don’t know who to call to fix it.
It’s round, made of tin – maybe or some other metal – and it runs from my roof to my basement. It’s by the furnace, but I don’t think it’s connected because I had the furnace and such replaced two years ago. It seems to be hollow inside with a small round thing not quite the size of the bottom so the water can drip out. What is this? Should it be dripping? If not, whom would I get to fix it? (I don’t remember it dripping before so I’m going to say not, but don’t go by my memory)
Vent stack?
http://www.homeimprovementsdepot.com/the-case-of-the-mysterious-basement-leak/
It’s definitely a vent of some sort. Was your old furnace gas? If the vent isn’t connected to anything, then I suppose you don’t need it. You could cap the top and make sure where it joins the roof if properly sealed.
DITTO AM THE SMART!
No, Lo. You the Smart!
I know ass should be thrown in there somewhere, but I couldn’t decide where. 😉
Deadpan are the smarts!
Sounds like a vent stack to me as well. Without seeing it directly, I couldn’t tell you its exact purpose. If it has a weep valve that lets moisture out, then I would say that it was working. LOL
*throws ass*
It’s all fun and games until someone loses an ass.
*breys*
In Lo Pan we brey.
Thanks guys
When you talk about roofs, my mind goes right into the gutter. Maybe that’s why I’m still shingle.
I think my laptop screen may have cracked from the loud groan I just emitted.
Sorry Jack, that’s all over my head.
I just saw that they have made a U.S. version of “Being Human”.
What’s the deal with that?
Sorry Van 🙂 I’ll resist the temptation for any more bad puns. For now.
Excellent article: http://youarenotsosmart.com/2010/10/27/procrastination/
Nobody puts Mum-Ra in the corner.
And, catching up from this morning – we’re watching the extended editions of LOTR. What’s that, like 12 hours or so?
Well I finished Halo: Reach tonight, enjoyed playing the game but the campaign was a bit short.

“Future Me” is an evil and despicable character who simply cannot be trusted.

I agree. Future Me is not to be trusted at all.
Good night, Pan.
Awesome, Ed! I’m re-reading (via audiobook) Book 1 right now.
Nighty night . . .
I disagree. Future Me is Present Me and thus can be trusted to take the easy way out. The only way to circumvent Future Me screwing both of us over is to take the reins, not be lazy, and do it now.
Because in the future, Future Me will be Present Me and he will still be procrastinating the same things that Past Me did.
And yes, I do agree with myself. And myself. And myself.
If you agree with yourself too much you’ll go blind.
And holy crap, $30mil buys a lot of cat food.

Well sod future me, past me has already screwed things up, I reminded of that line from a lyric:
The man that I am killed the man I wanted to be.
That’s a good line.
This makes me nostalgic for the days when one could find wonderful short subject material on HBO in between the movies:

I would trust future me, but not with the inevitable cybernetic implants.
Speaking of Lord of the Rings. Teresa and I cannot stop after watching the first film. So everytime we load the first DVD, we are commited for 12 hours. I think we have watched the extended versions at least four times by now.
^And thats reason #234 why the LOTR films are evil evil terrible bad things.
Do not fear the LOTR films Lo Pan, they only want you to enjoy 12 hours of your life. :devil:
The DVD Sam, it’s calling to me. Saramon commands me to watch!

It’s gotta be more fun than digging in oatmeal!
Right?
RIGHT?!
Please, it’s gotta be….
Rhettrorical question: Suppose you’ve been following a band for years. Regardless of whether or not they change styles, do you continue to follow them or does a point come where you decide “I have enough from them and don’t need to listen to them anymore”?
It depends, is the oatmeal warm or cold?
ditto, if theres a point where youve just grown tired of them or you dont dig their music anymore, you quit. Youre not obligated to anyone. If you still dig their music, do it up.
I agree with Lo, it depends. There are a lot of bands that I enjoyed in the past that I don’t really follow anymore. Usually it is because I grew tired of some aspect of their style, maybe the singer started to sound repetive or grating after so many spins. Often I find that what once made the band unique starts to seem gimmicky after a while.
But the bands I enjoy long term *cough* tend to have understated music. There are parts and arrangements that aren’t obvious the first couple of listens. Sort of musical buried treasure. And those band I’ll listen to as long as they continue to make music.
*see Nevermore… ^
Well Pan, spent a pleasant day travelling to Settle by train, the scenery put on a wonderful show and I felt moved to clap.
Now a snooze on the trip back is in order methinks.
Ding Ding Ding!
Van what are you doing in Seattle?????????
*various guffaws and chortles*
Who let a bell in here?
It’s rare that a once-great artist’s lesser material degrades my enjoyment of their best stuff, but it happens.
Still, I think it’s worth it to continue tracking an artist with capability, even if you don’t buy all of their new releases.
I agree with you guys. Some artists, like Rush, I continue to buy no matter what, but most others just don’t command the same… devotion? Anyway, I was just curious what you thought.
I feel the same about the Wiggles.
They weren’t the same after Who Can it Be Now?
(Off to CCH.)
I continue to pick up almost everything Bad Religion & Sarah MacLachlan put out. Everyone else I either have as much from them as I want or they stopped putting out/disappeared. Live is an example of the former. I have the first three albums and I’m all set. I don’t need anything more from them.
Actually, a better example would be Default. I like their song. The problem is that I bought the album, so now I have 12 different versions of their song and that’s too much.
The other extreme is Sinead Lohan. I want more from her but… she’s vanished. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin%C3%A9ad_Lohan
Shake shake shake clap clap clap step step step snap snap snap
Wiggle your body….
Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake your body line.
Shake, shake, shake, Señora, shake it all the time
Sinead Lohan not to be confused with Lindsay Lohan
One has disappeared. The other, you want to disappear. 😉
Nope! =)

Looks like I was right about Bane being the next Batman villain. Hardy could be good as it. Hathaway in leather? 🙂

lmfao. xkcd today kills me, but I realize that most people won’t get it because it is a math joke.
http://xkcd.com/
I had to read up on Wikipedia what a complex conjugate was, but I think I get the joke. I think. LOL
Ugh to Bane and a special ugh to Hathaway. Muh.
I sound like a jaded nerd, but ugh and muh still stand.
Also, real and imaginary numbers shouldn’t mix, it’s just too conjugatively complex.
That’s just a polar opposite, Rhettro. 😉
CP: No Feelings — Sex Pistols
“i” don’t see where you are going with that.
So I still have a week for recording my UHF stuff right? Good, cuz I finally have an idea what to do, but I haven’t had the time yet.
I had no idea what today’s xkcd meant and decided to leave lie what I failed to learn in precalc.
Which feels odd. Giving up instead of being aggressively curious. Get off my lawn!
I am going to have faith in Nolan. I hadn’t heard of Ra’s Al Ghul before the movie and when I looked it up on Wikipedia, I almost lost my eyes in the back of their sockets. And Two Face, really? If anyone can do it, Nolan can.
When he’s done with Batman, he should reboot Star Wars.
Oh, that idea fills me with glee. I’m Cheshire grinning now.
Night :mush:
:ninja:
But Bane? Really? At least Ra’s was important in Batman’s origins in the comics. Bane is just a roider who broke Batman’s back once. Muh. Waste of talent here. I would have preferred Croc even to Bane. Hope to be proven wrong because, yes, Nolan deserves the faith.

Hey Pan
Spent all morning getting poked and prodded (4 hours. Since when do doctors spend that long with their patients), and I must say, based on preliminary visits – I LOVE MY NEW DOCTORS!!!!!!
Okay Jack, after lunch I am going to fill your interpipes with a butt load of audio files.
That’s great news, Bunny!
….. Oh, J0e …..
I don’t think my brain’s lazy
http://www.impactlab.net/2011/01/14/e-readers-encourage-the-brain-to-be-lazy/
Knowing that Nolan and Hardy will be working together again makes me :biggrin: (disclaimer: I know nothing about Bane beyond what’s mentioned in that article and on this page)
NS: Your idea (Nolan rebooting Star Wars) fills me with glee, too, but it’s tempered by caution. SW and “brain-bending” just don’t go together, in my book. It would certainly be interesting to see what it was like if it happened, though.
TEB: That is absolutely fantastic news! My :biggrin: is getting even bigger!
“fill interpipes with a butt load…”
So TEB, do they now know what is causing your problems?
Short answer is maybe Van. But I definitely have a future goal now. My new doctor, after one visit, says she’s pretty sure what I have and it’s not one of the big evils. There are certain things I’ll have to stop. Nothing high impact so, unfortunately, martial arts is most likely gone for good. I haven’t been going since May anyway so I guess I’ll be all right with that :cwy: I’m too cut my caffeine intake in half and triple my water intake. There will be some dietary changes but, since I’m not really an unhealthy eater it won’t be anything radical.
I also now have a doctor, kinestheologist, dietitian and a massage therapist. Which is more and better than what I had.
Had to go private to get decent care but right now, based on what I’ve seen so far, it’s very much worth it.
I go in again on Feb 2nd. I’m suppose to allow approx. 2 hours (again, who gives 2 hour medical care?) when all the test results from today are in. I’ll sit down with everybody and they tell me what’s the best way forward.
I’m very happy so far.
TEB: I’m thrilled about your 4 hour long prodding!
Lo: Bane does seem like an odd choice, perhaps a little more grounded character like The Mad Hatter? Although there seems to be some fan undercurrent for Hush.
On a side note, show notes may be a little later than usual tomorrow Jack. I have to go downtown for work first thing in the morning.
Hush? Hush? I thought I hear you callin his name now…
Excellent news TEB, apart from the Martial Arts of course..
cough
No worries, Bunny. I’m really happy for the positive steps forward.

*rubs hands together*. Bwa ha ha ha ha
I only agree with maybe half of the movies in that list, Jack
Patman kinda wanted to see Croc too. Interesting.
I miss me some Patman.
Patman – a + or = Portman
You must love that
Patman does love him some Portman.
Patman + Portman = Manman
wait…
TEB: good to hear that things are looking up. As for that study I’d be interested to see how they chose the participants. In my experience the ability to recall what you read is as much about training as the display method.
RE: sequel list. I feel pretty much meh about all of those movies having sequels. I have the suspicion they’ll wind up like Star Wars
Is it wrong that I want to see The Mechanic?
Is that a remake of the Charles Bronson film and that guy from Airwolf?
Kotaku has an interesting article on the Japanese learning English.

TEB – That disfluency article misses a very important factor. Anything divided by zero is zero. Sure, the brain works better when it is being exercised. But people are lazy (see the Future Me article from yesterday) and simply won’t read if they have to work too hard.
I’d rather have more people reading at a lower retention rate than having very few people reading.
Amy – Star Wars doesn’t go with brain bending? “Luke, I am your father.” =)
The only one that I think has a chance of making a decent sequel would be the Goonies. But it would have to be the original cast, not a Crow 2 kind of thing.
Lo – I’m with Bunny. I went to see Expendables expecting a massive train wreck and instead got an almost good movie that was ridiculously fun.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
Then again, I actually enjoyed Dungeon Siege. It was utterly horrible, just insanely bad, like Legion actually, and that made it fun.
I need more commas.
Hey Cj – I see your post!
