I don’t want to sleep… I just wanna post on the deadpan all night!
I want your money back on that Benedryl..you should be alseep CJ 🙂
Morning Pan, if all goes according to play, I will be travelling to have a look around Dunstanburgh Castle:
http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-dunstanburghcastle/
I shall now growl quietly in Cj’s direction.
Wow, we had a dreadpirate sighting as the last comment for episode #146.
And this show appears to have uploaded fully intact. I don’t know if we’ll have iTunes problems this week. I hope not.
Don’t fight that Benadryl, Cj!
Goodnight, money.
Vanamonde, I’m leaving you to greet the rest of the night shift.
That ruined castle does look a very cool day trip, btw.
I am actually working today. I disapprove of this.
Really quickly, I realize that this topic is already done and over, but I wanted to point out that (ditto?) was on track. When I got married, I had to bring in a copy of my marriage certificate to prove that I was actually married. If I hadn’t, then the life/health/dental/etc insurance would have been canceled and if I read it correctly, I would have had to pay someone something back for lying about it.
On a tangential note, I hate humans. =)
Morning, Pan.
The Itunes has behaved this week. DP 147 is now MINE, ALL MIINE!!!!!
but….I left plenty for everyone else. 🙂
iTunes is Go!
In Minnesota anyway…
CP: Nipples part of Deadpan 147.
Jack I love it when you almost lost. when I read that comment I also nearly lost it.
iTunes is grabbing DP – yay!
NS, thanks for saying that It isn’t the rule at my office for married folks, but I’m really glad to hear you say that.
I’ve worked out, am sweaty now, and waiting for the ep to download.
Cj, 18 minutes?
EssBee: I am always happy to pretend to be helpful. Xp
Gah.
I foolishly allowed myself to watch that Lady GaGa ‘Bad Romance’ video because Spellwight said something to the effect of it being batshit crazy.
A week later I am still hearing it in my head. Something about “ga ga ga bromaine”??? I feel like I have been contaminated.
Ick ick wash it off
Back to the meme from yesterday. Best book I read this year: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Books meant for younger readers are much more accessible for me. I have audio booked better ones but I will call that something different because I feel like I am cheating a little when I listen rather than read. The thing I liked most about this book is that I could read and talk with my kids about it than later watch the movies with the kids and talk to them about it. Don’t get me wrong I did like the books and this was my favorite but my kids are growing up (both are in High school) so we don’t have that much in common any more and they are both very independent. The conversations certainly have gotten better; we just have fewer of them. I read all 7 this year but I liked this one the best mostly because it let me and the kids speculate the most and discuss more than any other book. I’m also a sucker for magic and this take of magic being here in moder times is fun to think about.
I forgot what I was going to say. Back in a bit.
Morning Pan!
Looks like winter has finally settled in for the season.
I want to explore an old castle, too 🙁
The quote from ditto about what matters. I’ve been thinking about it because it confuses me. I like the way it starts out and then it wraps up by kicking me in the face. I am pretty sure that I won’t be sitting around somewhere congratulating myself on a life well lived after I’ve died.
And my thoughts from there start spiraling down into bleakness, so we won’t bother taking the ride.
Wheeee! Crap!
Ok, I have a WP technical question. A couple of days ago the DP Board went all tiny and hard to read. I thought it might go back once the new Pan was up but, nope. None of the other web pages I look at seem to have this problem.
Is anybody else having this problem? How do I make it big and pretty using Firefox (without effecting my other websites)?
TEB – Does CTRL-0 (That is control zero) do anything for you?
My hubby is here listening to me give my grocery list…
He’s laughing at me.
Yeah! Scry is my hero!
TEB – you may be looking through the wrong end of your screen.
No, wait …that’s a telescope I’m thinking about. Forget that.
Have you been wearing a hat a lot? Maybe it’s too tight ?
Cool. In ff3.5.5 CTRL-0 is for resetting the zoom. CTRL-+ and CTRL– make it big and small.
I think that might be my hat. This eye-ache is annoying.
Lo Pan doth sit here
Cold and bitter and dead
Time to hear Deadpan
hmmm. No broken lyrics this week.
Oh, and going back to the lollipop thing. I think the novelty of FaceBook has worn off on me. I now find the only time I go there is to update the Deadpan site:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?v=wall&gid=120673555584
Lo Pan, I guess I doing better than you, I’m only one of those 😉
Finally getting around to upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 on the wee eee. Took more work than I had expected because I made the bootdisk the wrong way. Oops.
TEB: Dead?
The back door was frozen shut. Hubby couldn’t leave for work.
Lo Pan’s pops also said it reminded him of beebop.
Wait a minute, those are new doors. Why are they freezing shut? hmmmm. Must check out their seal.
Is it this type of seal?
http://www.coolantarctica.com/gallery/seals/Weddell_seal1.jpg
Or this kind of seal?
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VlmHNP9So5Y/SlTHqASx_fI/AAAAAAAACJM/L2uXC-Z98lU/s400/NOJE-18s34-seal-700_368.jpg
This kind of seal?
http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/navy-seal-4.jpg
This kind of seal
http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/NC/SYMBOLS/images/seal.jpg
SEAL!
http://www.richardiii.net/images/c15th%20colchester%20seal.gif
Guess again, Lo Pan
Just for Lo Pan
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/graphics/05-00010.jpg
Ok, Lo Pan does not recommend Google imaging “seal”… as Lo Pan is not sure what images are more depressing – all the seal clubbing photos or all the Seal with Heidi Klum photos.
Both equally depressy.
DRAT! Lo Pan did not guess that seal.
Lo laughs mightily. Lo is imagining the Orc and Goblin is Cookie Monster and Grover. Laughing mightily!
Imagining Cookie Monster saying “rape and pillage” does Lo’s heart well.
According to my handy-dandy i-touch converter. It’s -0.400002 F right now.
Did I really need it accurate to the 6th decimal?
Dane Cook + Carlos Mencia = The Hell of the Craptastically Overrated Comedians
God Damn It Lo Pan!
I’ll never look at Cookie Monster the same way again.
“C is for cooked hobbits, that’s good enough for me…”
TEB: You mean -18.00000111111111 C.
Dont fake who you are…..
BWAH!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! COOOOOKIE!!!
http://content.pyzam.com/funnypics/people/cookiemonster.jpg
The Orc skit was hi-larious! I heard it on Requiem last week, but funnier on DP!
reaper, audiobooks are totally valid. I think you should give us your best book read – by hard copy or by audio. I generally listen to one (C: In the Electric Mist with the Confederate Dead – James Lee Burke) and read one (C: Proven Guilty – Jim Butcher).
It’s 9 degrees in Boulder County. My feet are frozen.
Lo Pan’s middle name, ironically, is also Spikescrotum
EssBee – 6 degrees 15 miles south of you
“The back door was frozen shut. Hubby couldn’t leave for work.”
I was just knocked completely senseless by the euphemism delivery truck.
Lo Pan thought of that and refrained from comment…. Lo Pan is pleased J0e did not show restraint.
They say by Monday we’re going to reach -27C (-16.6F). Winter is definitely here. 😛
Well, J0e. Just to help…
Luckily, the front door opened.
When the aliens help America invent a weather controlling machine, we shall help your country first, TEB. Right before the invasion.
I kind of figure you’d want to warm us up first before invading, Lo pan.
*j0e manages to get back up to a sitting position … and the euphemism truck promptly backs over him.*
I had to read J0e’s nipple three times.
I feel very stupid now.
But I laughed before I felt stupid.
Lo Pan is all about the “warmth” before the “conquest”…..
So say Lo Pan all.
usedhair = just schooled Jack.
This episode was Lo Pan approved
*gleaming smile and thumbs up*
Good morning.
EssBee – if you tell me you are all hot and sweaty again, I might need another 18 minutes! Geez..
http://www.sexualityeducation.com/femaleorg/index.php
I’m just sayin’ I don’t need the full 20 minutes…
“An emphasis on individuals making sexual decisions that are right for them, including whether to use the information now…”
Yeah, I want to use the information NOW!!!
morning Cj 🙂
Super-Cj swoops in and gets the first comment! 😉
Nomad: Regarding that quote, my take on it is this: create memories that *you* will enjoy later in life. As some friends of mine used to say, “It’s not the guy with the most toys that wins, it’s the one with the most stories.”
TEB: Are you using Firefox? Using Ctrl+scroll will change the zoom on a page. You might have done this accidentally. Ctrl-0 undoes the zoom.
Yeah, I may be dropping currency from the BLC and recording a batch at a time rather than waiting until the end of Tuesday or Wednesday night. That model may work for Jack, but Saturdays may be better for BLC.
TEB: I know what you mean about FB, but I’m also trying to stay in better touch with friends and family, so I force myself to post from time to time.
I’m disappointed. 9.10 -is- very nice looking and it actually controls the wifi radio… but I just spent an hour trying to figure out why it wouldn’t play mp3s or install the BLEEP codecs.
Not making it easy for me to recommend it to newbs. Grrr. I really want to recommend it.
So next Wednesday a local trendy bowling alley is screening “Star Wars Holiday Special” for Toys for Tots. Should I go?
ditto: That’s actually a very interesting way to look at it. … Especially in light of the fact that all of my best stories involve me being stupid or hurt or both at the same time.
Actually, I just mis-read your quote as “… not the guy with the most toys that wins, it’s the one with the BEST stories.”
Having the most stories sounds like a worthy, though exhausting, goal.
This should make Jack happy: new Arcade Fire album coming early next year.
JB: Only if you want to punish yourself.
NS: Best stories works too. That quote went with an image of me and my friends as old men in rocking chairs falling on our asses while sharing our stories.
These are cute!

Cj, that’s what I THOUGHT you meant!
LOL
Be back in 16 minutes.

Adding Sackboy Assassin to my list of reasons to get a PS3.
I’d just like to say that the music at the end of this episode made me swoon with delight and since I actually got to see it live… ahhhh…. more swooning. I loved it, Jack!
I’m sad that I have to work Thursday night otherwise I’d go to Create Live. Missed it last time too.
Me=Sad.
Ditto, I save the self abuse for private time…
ditto, thats some rockin’ shit. So says Lo Pan.

(sorry I forgot to read the BLC results, JB)
Bunny has a dilemma.
Waaaay back when, the city tore up our sidewalk when they decided to dig up a pipe under my front yard. When putting it back, several months ago, they removed a couple of signs and put them on our front yard. We decided to take these city signs and put them in our back yard when we saw a couple of kids pick up these signs (consisting of 7′ metal poles topped by signage) and use them for sword practice.
We noticed the other day the city has re-installed the signs (three or four months after they took them down) but they must have used new ones because the signs we took are still in our back yard.
The dilemma is, what do we do with the signs in the back yard. We’re almost afraid to call the city because it’s illegal to take city signs, but we did do it for a good reason. If the city had put up the original signs in a reasonable time frame, we wouldn’t have taken them. It was at least a month, possibly more, before we decided having big metal poles for people to swing around was probably not a good idea.
Do I call the city to pick up their signs, with the possibility of a fine involved, or do we take them to the dump, making sure nobody sees us when we dump them?
decisions, decisions
TEB: Yeah, you don’t want the police coming after you for those signs. I’ve seen that back in college. Call the city and tell them that they *forgot* the old signs in your yard and ask them what they want to do with them. Make it clear that you didn’t take them and they shouldn’t be able to fine you.
I don’t think these are the lollipops that TEB & Cj were talking about:
http://www.neatorama.com/2009/12/02/edible-insects/
LIES!!!!
Diito, that was the last good GNR album.
wait…who the hell is Diito? ugh
Soundoff!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_disparity_in_sexual_relationships
BOY TOY!
TEB, I agree with ditto. Call the city and ask them why they put up new signs when they left the old ones in your yard!
I’m confused. It takes 18 minutes to eat a lollipop?
Bunny, I’d either call the city about the signs or use them to decorate the basement.
Lies, lies, lies, yeah!
They’re gonna get you
😉
I called the city. The nice lady at the other end said it may be a couple of months before the signs get picked up.
Wasn’t that the problem in the first place?
As the SWAT team breaks down the door…

“I called the city. The nice lady at the other end said it may be a couple of months before the signs get picked up.
Wasn’t that the problem in the first place?”
It seems your country has learned the ways of procrastination and incompetence from mine. Welcome….
LIES!
Well… ok, maybe not. 😉
We now resume our regularly scheduled nippling.
*HAL voice*
I’m afraid we cant do that…Dave.
Don’t you “Dave” me, you overgrown bucket of transistors! Now, do what you are told or you won’t get that subscription to CMOS Pr0n you were asking for.
*booop booop beep beep*
Sorry, Mr. C….
*beeep squirt fizz*
*beeep squirt fizz*
Watch out J0e here comes the truck again.
“lollipop”
LOL
Sometimes it takes 45 minutes.
Awwwww, HAL. You know I can’t stay mad at you when you are like that.
Here are some transistors for ya.
runchie time
Its ok, EssBee. Sometimes it takes Lo Pan an hour and a half to stay in target.
Who the HAL? Lo?
I decided to get a head start on the year and just finished going through all of 2009’s paperwork. My hubby’s and mine entire lives for the year can be condensed down to a single file folder.
I don’t know why, but for some reason, this saddens me.
A thought: Dead Pirate Society – “Aye-Aye, Cap’n my Cap’n”
I think its when you realize how much of your life you can just put through the shredder that things really start to get depressing.
EssBee: You mistook “Brilliant” for “Tech Support: The Home Game” – it’s OK. We sometimes can’t stop ourselves from doing what we do. Wow, that’s a whole lot of platitude that I could have done without…
Platypus, however….
Lo Pan
Seal Clubber?

Novembers Numbers: 2,422 comments. That’s a 46% increase over November 2008.
Good Job! ❗
I feel that way when you when I think of the universe and my smallness within it.
An egg with a red yolk is rather offputting even if it tastes the same as a ‘regular’ eggs.
I agree, I think I would be put off by an egg with a red yolk too.
Maybe someones pulling a yolk on you? 😆
Maybe the Hen that layed the egg had a nibble on a red marker pen.
jackmangan: 18 minutes for a Below-Pop I suppose.
We’ve warmed up. – 9 (15.8F). Downright balmy
About a month ago, I got an egg with 2 yolks. It was funny, but I didn’t laugh.
Jack, BLC is not your “job” so no worries…
WHOA! It’s before 4pm, and I’m actually responding to the current Nipples
(very firm, and spongy. A +)
Lejon wants to be sponged?
DJB: Oh… yes… Yes… YES… We Have A Winner!…er… Sponged… I’m probably not sponge worthy.
Its gold, Jerry! Gold!
*blink* Dear God, that was a Seinfeld reference… Look what’s become of me! GAH!
Lo Pan figured thats what you were doing. Lo Pan figured he’d play along.
YAH HA!!!!! MORE JAMES CAMERON! MORE AVATAR! MORE FUNNY!!!!!
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/12/the_first_step_is_james_cameron_admitting_he_has_a.php
I was actually chosen as “sponge worthy once”.
Well, technically it was more then once. 😀
TEB – if the city won’t come to Mohamad, take the signs to the billiard table!
Actually, while the signs are waiting – I’d stack them neatly and band their poles together with zip-ties. The weight and awkwardness of this informative bundle should help dissuade the utes.
Naw, J0e. I’m keeping them in my back yard. I told the city they could just get them, even if I’m not home.
CP: If I Had a Rocket Launcher — Bruce Cockburn
Signs left neatly on the ground are dangerous to vehicles.
Wow. That FedEx guy looked remarkably like Dr. Steel, just with a bushier beard. /tweet
Lejon brings up a valid point. Anyone driving through Bunny’s yard might be confused by the signs.
No long hair freaky people need not apply
Sooooo they CAN apply? Double negatives confuse Lo Pan.
OMFG its only 2:00.
Lo Pan: I cannot not know what you mean not.
Lo…..Pan…… asplode….. head…..not….unconfused….

Seems a good move on bit.ly’s part.
OK, while I think our geek culture has overdone the Star Wars references joke a bit, this is hilarious:

That, dear Jack, is FTW L-O-L
lmfao. Those were great, Jack.
Tried resubscribing, iTunes still not downloading the latest episode..grrrrr!
Grrr indeed. I suspect an iTunes or a Podpress version issue.
Sorry Vanamonde, and everyone else having iTunes problems. I’ll look into it.
In the meantime, here’s a sneak preview of the chart I’m going to update and display on the site, after next week’s conclusion to the first DotF round:

Listening to Episode 143.
Behind the times. But the cool thing about Krull is that you could close your eyes and imagine watching Star Trek.
woot! JfS sighting!!!
Thought I remembered that name from my deadpan crash course.
Welcome back JfS.
Jack: Thanks for the Star Wars Status Updates link! I got a good laugh out of that one. 😀
JEREMY!!! Hi! Great to see you again!
JEREMY !!!!!!!!!
Jeremy spoke in Deadpan todaaaaaaaaaay
Jer-e-my, Jer-e-my, Jer-e-my!
Jack:
Of course, my calling you out was meant as good natured ribbing. But, to make up for my bitchy nature, I pledge to send in some actual content this week.
Holy crap that Star Wars/Facebook mashup was teh_awesome!
By the way, if any of you from the northern climes find yourself short some snow, it may have been detoured to Houston.
I’m actually off to NJ for a wedding.
Good evening Deadpan. Up a little later because I get to sleep in an extra two hours tomorrow. Hubby has a later meeting.
The weather man said we’re going to get about 20cm of snow in the next 24 hours (that’s 8″ for you neophytes)
I see some hot chocolate, a warm blanket and a book in my future.
And for those of you who had your doubts
http://www.flickr.com/photos/41443866@N04/sets/72157622806020903/
Extra points if you can pick me out in these pics 😉
Night all!
Top row center?
Jeremy from Seattle…… that name no longer has any meaning to me….. *hooopa kooooopa*
She’s wearing a green belt! I sees her! I sees the Bunny!
Oh, I’m home. Day 4 of training completed.
The StarWars FB updates were excellent. I have to share it with my bud who buys all the figures.
Usedhair, that was excellent. Every now and then, someone needs to point out that I’m sitting behind this desk with no pants on.
Er, yeah.
I think ditto has it, but so does Cj.
So I’m going for the front row, second from the left. That is The Energizer Bunny.
Another great show Jack. And now for a big lump of catch up…
TEB: Would be interesting if you could use the signs as lawn ornaments >.>, I would be amused.
RE: Cookie monster has always been one of my heros.
CJ: Congratulations, now for your 5th task you will need to bring us donuts, or we will yell NEE! at you during your orientation.
oh and clubbing baby seals:
http://dexlives.comicgenesis.com/d/20030412.html
In that picture, Ryah is dead center.
She’s the older Asian gentleman in the tie.
Goodnight, monk.
omg. Listening to 144 and the star wars/ghostbuster mash. Bravo Jack!
Morning Pan, I spy with my little eye a TEB standing right at the back, 5th person counting from the right on that row.
My goodness a lot of Amazons in that photo…I may have to go for a liedown.
That’s in the school photo like photo..err.
More obvious in the other photo where you get to see TEB in full and wearing the green belt as Cj pointed out.
Oh and TEB, is the guy who was coming on to you in that photo?
Right, off to the cinema, leaning towards Planet 51.
Ming ahaaa!
I am partial to percussive pieces, but I really enjoyed the ending to 144. Was that a Mongo? Er, Mango? Er… what?
Another excellent show this week, Jack. Especially since I was able to catch it on release day this time 🙂
The weather droids are calling for 3-5″ of snow today in Houston. It will be the earliest snow EVAR around here.
I’m not wearing any pants. Film at 11.
Keep that snow, Ed! We’ve got to get to Southern Colorado early tomorrow. It’s 2 degrees here this morning — way too cold for snow anyway!
TGIF, yo.
we actually had good snow. the stuff that sits on the grass but not to the roads so everything looks nice and clean but the roads are not bad.
Alert! The fake tree has been liberated from the basement. Bad moods are inbound!
Morning Pan!
Most of you are correct, in the group photo, I’m the one making the funny face in the top centre. On the other photo, I’m the green belt in the fourth row from the left.
Yes Van, he’s the bald blackbelt in on the far left. He met my hubby several months ago. They discovered they actually like each other so now he’s just normal friendly. It’s strange how things happen that way 🙂 Now whenever he and my hubby see each other they spend most of their time talking.
One complaint all us women have is the outfits are exactly made to flatter. It hides all our curves 😆
Oh Yeah, no snow yet, BTW. I’m hoping it’ll at least hold off for another couple of hours so I can go grocery shopping.
Lo Pan is in the Hell of the Inside-Out Intestines this morning. Ugh…. I don’t think Mexican food sits right with old Chinese men.
We need a Team Edward from Texas shirt made.
Here’s hoping Lo Pan’s godliness overcomes the devilness of sickness 🙂
Be well, Lo Pan.
Lo Pan: I agree re T-Shirt. Sorry about your bowels of hell.
I would wear that shirt.
ditto: wasnt that a White Zombie song?
Ok then… ED we need a pic of you to modify and slap on a Haines. Now.
Lo Pan and the Colon of Doom
It does rather remind me of the burning heart in Mola Ram’s hand.
Lo Pan’s colon is NOT Lo Pan approved!
Ha ! I just realized …
Lo Pan has Low Pain.
*cough* I’ll get my coat.
Nipple’s about a colon….. could nothing be greater/worser?
“Nipples” rather. Exit apostrophe, stage left.
YOULL GET MORE THAN YOUR COAT, GOOD SIR!
*standing ovation*
I’m off. I’m going to to grocery store before the weather really sets in.
… aaaand do you know how I figured THAT one out????
While typing PAN I mistyped and put an “i” in there.
Yep, you guessed it … I gave Lo Pan vowel trouble.
*cough cough* I guess I’m gonna need Van’s coat as well.
I feel the “darkest magic” approaching. Step over here for a second, J0e
LOL
When i’m having a bad day i know i can count on the deadpan nipples to cheer me up with puns. jolly good showing this morning everyone!!!!
*tossing justa J0e his cloak* here is one more of good mesure
Thats better than tossing J0e his salad.
Why bad, Reaps?
*cough*
*hick*
EssBee did you turn the sun back on here? Thank you. Lo Pan has missed it the past couple days. Now if you could get the temp out of single digits Lo Pan would approve.
Lo Pan: Wow, didn’t think anyone would go there. This day (because of DP Nipples) just keeps getting better and better.
Today is a bad one because I have about 5 things to do at once but I keep getting interrupted and cannot get anything done. now people are bothering me about the 5 things I can’t manage to finish. I know it will settle down soon though it is getting close to lunch time.
Youll find Lo Pan often goes where he shouldnt.
reaper here’s what you do. take 1 sheet white paper, 1 fat sharpie, 1 ball twine, 1 louisville slugger, 1 pack sharpened #2 pencils.
Write “Actual Working Employee” on the paper with the sharpie and tape it to your office/cube. Take twine ball and set up a perimeter around said office/cube in such a way that you can see people before they can see you, that way youll know when/if to start swinging the Louisville Slugger. If that fails and the zombies…er….people keep coming and crash your defenses, take out pack of sharpened #2 pencils and gouge own eyes out.
Lo Pan: Brilliant!!!! Off to raid the supply closet.
the bat might be a tall order i might have to check the scrap bins for a suitable chunk of metal as a substitute.
CP: TSO: Boughs of Holly
TEB if you wore a sackcloth there would be someone out there who would find you attractive in it….the same goes for the MA outfit.
Cold fingers making it hard to type.
reaper – try nailing a breeze block to a short length of 2×4.
You can use whatever hits home, reaper.
OMFG its only 9:30.
THIS???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
http://www.geek.com/articles/games/taiwanese-man-beats-world-of-warcraft-2009122/
Never have I been so pleased to be me.
I think MA should be practiced while wearing sports team, mascot costumes.
Imagine the confused messages THAT could send.
First I think Lo Pan lacks Intestinal Fortitude. And then he beats WoW? There’s a fire below for sure.
My God it’s getting insane out there. I hope hubby will be ok driving home later today.
I was having the discussion about PJs, and a woman who thought wearing PJs acted like some magical shield that stopped all amorous thoughts about her.
I made sure I didn’t laugh, even though I wanted too.
I’ll get my coat.
Or, reaper, tape all that stuff up inside of the paper, tie the string around it, and fling it around your head, taking out the interrupters.
Lo, I’ve done my part, and things should be warming up nicely over the next few hours.
Lo Pan, I posted that WOW article on my Facebook page, but didn’t note it was you. I hope you aren’t too angered.
I’m feeling old school. I think chocolate chip cookies with pecans is called for today.
I agree, Van. I think sometimes PJ’s can be attractive.
It is all in the attitude of the PJ wearer.
… IMHO of course.
EssBee: I think i will need to add a fan to the mix also so i can just suspend it from the ceiling and not tire out my arm. this could be fun!
Attitude is everything.
No no no, Lo Pan is of Chinese old man descent…. not young Taiwanese man descent. Lo Pan was just commenting about how pleased Lo Pan is not to be this person.
Lo Pan pulls off PJ’s well. Take that as you will.
Whoa, awkward time to check in……
I did neglect to say, “JfS!” last night.
Oh, whew! I didn’t want to anger Lo Pan on a Friday.
Wait, you pull of PJ’s and I’m to “take it”?
JOe, my coat please . . .
But Christmas is a giving time of year…
Bump it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2fwHjLvvk4
There, first batch of cookies in the oven, second batch on standby.
It’s a good thing people are all getting their coats. You need it in this weather 😉
EssBee Were you wearing PJs and you let Lo Pan take them?
Is it bathtime?
They’ve been advertising those bump it things a lot up here, Lo Pan. They always strike me as being very 70’s in style.
I think chocolate chip cookies are best when they are warm and gooey fresh from the oven.
Send batch now baking.
Its true… which is why I appreciate that song all that much more.
When the hell did this turn into Lo Pan’s Goodtime Happy PJ Hour?
*ancient Chinese jazz hands*
Ralph,
I only deliver donuts to hawt guys who sit behind their desks without pants.
Meaning Kiefer Sutherland, Cj?
I misread Bunny’s post about cookies with pecans as “cookies with pelicans”.
I need help.
Bump it was … and this one, more so
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRAS-xx87XE&feature=channel
I am new fan of this Perry person.
Off to storm the castle. Have a good weekend, panites.
I think someone has an unhealthy obsession with a certain weather girl.
I don’t see how someone can “win” WoW and have only hugged 11 other players.
Checking my stats right now…. Oh here they are..
Xarnya the Pilgrim: Level 80, Gnome, Warlock
Number of hugs – 60
I’m clearly more huggable. Therefore, I win.
I think I got more out of the exploding tacos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyKFKdAREcE&feature=channel
Have a good weekend, ditto
J0e…. Parry Gripp is lead singer of nerf herder.
Dare you, J0e… go to http://www.parrygripp.com ?
Buy ditto…..
Lo Pan knows what Lo Pan wrote.
I agree, Cj is huggable
Oh dear. I think Jack is forgetting the hawtness factor by which all men are compared again.
tsk tsk.
Lo Pan read “pelicans” as well, Jack.
*squack* delicious!
Bunny hugs are some of my favorites.
*swoooooon* (and I’m just just typing that in case Jack has to read it)
CP: “Your pitiful” – Weird Al
see ya ditto !
Maybe Jack’s hawtness can come up here and melt some of this snow. It’s getting a little ridiculous.
the snow started about 2 hours ago and we’re already at about an inch on the ground. I’m starting to get worried about hubby’s chances of getting home. I hope they decide to let the meetings out early.
lunch today is a mix of emotion.
on one had it is turkey day leftovers (YAY)
but it is the last of them (boo)
ok, back at work there fore back to listening.
*cracks knuckles*
*opens iTunes*
*refreshes ‘Pan*
GODDAMNIT!!
*manually downloads*
*Sigh*
Pretty sure Lo Pan had explodable tacos.
CP: Steve’s Last Ramble — Steve Earle
I don’t understand all the issues with Deadpan on i-tunes. I get up Thursday mornings, start i-tunes and there is Deadpan, no problems. I guess I must just be special.
JfS, do not get fresh with me.
“Explodable”…. thats…. fitting.
CW: Intervention: Linda
A coating of new fallen snow would soooo lift my spirit right now.
I use Ziepod and while it skipped 144 and 145, the last two episodes were retrieved without any problems.
I’m going to blame it on effpeemh. *shrugs* Just ‘cuz.
I’ll get fresh with who I want to, Ol’ Man.
J0e, J0e! You can have ours. It’s more than a coating already so it should make you downright giddy!
Like Mentos, Lo Pan is the freshmaker, Mr. Seattle.
And you, sir, are a whore.
Yes, JOe, come over here. Have some snow.
reaper, watching Intervention (*shudder*) is not the way to lift one’s spirits. Take it from me. Turn the channel. Yuck.
…re-freshed even…
*grumble grumble*
Latest Fringe – yuk at the parasites
*giggidy*
Oooh, was Fringe on last night?!
Heh, looks like a duel is shaping up between West Coast and Far East.
BTW, thx Nomad for digging the star wars/ghostbusters joke.
*goo*
uh….
Don’t let Lo Pan fool you, he ain’t from the far east. He’s probably just in Chinatown or even here in Seattle’s International District….or the set of Big Trouble in Little China.
Texted hubby and told him to come home. Really, really starting to worry.
While we do get some snow, this much, this fast, at this time of the year is quite unusual.
EssBee: Sometimes i get a laugh out of intervention. like watching someone try to light a lighter with a Cigarette. but I can’t take more than about 15 min at a time. so now:
CW: V: Episode 4
Looks like it Essbee, that cap I got mentioned Fox HDTV
… or maybe even the back room at your local mall’s Panda Express.
Fingers crossed for safe journey home for Mr TEB.
(hears from the Deadpan kitchen)
*ding!* “Giddy Up”
atta boy. V is EssBee approved. Watching train wrecks on Intervention is not.
OH SNAP!
I’ll fool who I …er.. Lo Pan wants to fool!
*urp*
Oh oh oh oh suddenly its ok to pick on the elderly? A pox and plague on you all! To the Hell of the Crappy Seahawks for you!
*munches Panda Express*
That snapping was my hip.
In a tragically pathetic attempted to relive the golden moments of early childhood … I am once again this year, looking for panites to post their pictures of Christmas lights glowing beneath a layer of new fallen snow.
I’d advise against the Teriyaki bowls at Lo Panda Express.
No disrepect to elders ( well, maybe DICK Cheney).
I was simply pointing out that Lo Pan is EVERYWHERE!
(… well, except maybe not so much at the Mexican buffet anymore)
I may be able to accomodate you on that one later, JJ. Houston is now shutting down. Schools are dismissing early. I’ve got one child retrieved, one child that I’m about to go back out and get, and a wife stuck in Chicago.
http://wtfcalls.net/reddit/xmas_light_wtf.php
I like this idea with Christmas light more!
Panties Pics of X-mas Lights- sweet.
Don’t know about the snow part though.
RE: Snow.
Yes, get Mr. Bunny home safe. Don’t mess around.
J0e, will you settle for just Xmas lights without snow? (not that I’ve decorated my place. . . )
EssBee: I really like the new V. It might help that I’m no longing trying to watch crappy, grainy over the air TV from the 80’s this time around.
Heh, this weeks epi’s intro has BTILC in the intro. Syncronicity, I haz it!
Jack – if you’d get drunk and wrap them around yourself … it might just work.
(now THAT’s a white Christmas!)
Well, I have panties, I have a camera, and I have snow. I don’t do the lights thing, but I guess Sly B could drive me around and I could run into someone’s yard when I see the lights . . . .
As I’ve mentioned before, reaper, I swoon for Elizabeth Mitchell.
Oh, my . . . there I go again . . .
Be back in 12 minutes . . .
we have snow on the ground but no lights under it and no snow predicted for a week. I miss Seattle. very little snow or cold… when compared to Wisconsin.
With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity.
ITS ALL GONE TO HELL, THIS CONVERSATION! LO PAN *urp* APPROVED!
JJ I haven’t done my house yet, but here’s one from last year

EssBee: ooo I see why…
…I’l be in my bunk
Lunch time!
China is here, Mr. Justa.
Lo Panda = gold, Jerry!
This day is teh_suxors
TEB = 🙂
So how come my image search for Elizabeth Mitchell turned up lots of girl-on-girl images?
Just my lucky day?
Never mind, um … I think I left something in my bunk.
LOL, TEB. That’s my kind of lights, but where are the panties JOe mentioned?
😉
Heh, Gay Black Jewish Orc? He should join my rugby team.
WTF is u talking bout? GBJO?
Talk of panties is making Lo Pan hungry.
“EssBee Says:
December 4th, 2009 at 10:24 am e
Well, I have panties, I have a camera,”
OH! GBJO…. ignore previous post.
Yes she did, Jack.
Jack, I think I stopped reading at that point too…
Heh. and thx JfS.
So what’s the armor class for Bunny’s Xmas dragon?
What about that guy hanging from the gutter?
reaper, I guess your plans to decorate before Thanksgiving fell through? (npi)
I don’t know, EssBee. God knows, I don’t have any 😆
I do have hiccups, though…
Just finished V *gulp* another good ending.
Speaking of DJ:
W00t! Got a DJ gig this weekend. Super sweet.
There aren’t any other Seattle Deadpanties are there.
CP: Mannheim Steamroller: Carol of the Bells
The trees in my front yard are bent double from the wind. This is not nice.

Yew Toe Pee Uh. Lo Pan congrats.
Bunny, If your tree is any good at yoga it might be ok. Hope your hubby makes it home ok.
w00t DJ Utopia.
OK, off to finish something up before lunch.
Snow sucks, btw. Safe journeys to everyone, whether to/from school or *shudder* NJ.

The weatherman just sait we’ve had six cm of snow so far this morning(approx 2″). All I can say is thank god for soft cuddly kitties.
What the hell is “good weather for mad dogs and Englishmen”? My weatherman is just weird.
I can tell by the nipples, winter has arrived
Sweet. 😀
Just heard from hubby. Afternoon meetings have been cancelled. He’s on his way home. Yah!
Nice, Lejon. Very nice.
Have that winter nipple look ALL! YEAR! LONG!
http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/01/prosthetic_nipples_add_that_winter_glow_all_year_long-2/

Someone who’s had a nipple removed would be CRYING.
Lo Pan shall drink hard tonite
Due to all this talk of nipples?
Drink. Hard. Nipples.
I’m going to have weird dreams now.
No just cause its one of those days.
Lo Pan + bar = +10000
Lejon – heres hoping all three are in the conversation for Lo Pan…. HAAZAH!
Lo Pan, being a half-dream yourself, you must realize that you could go brain hopping any old time and have whatever conversation you wish. Including all three…
Sweet galloping Christ…. YOURE RIGHT!
*fades to dream within a dream*
Aw crap. Time to drink the mystical mojo juice…
In that case Lo Pan, please *don’t* Dream a Little Dream of Me.
Best,
JM
Ooh…. I wonder if I was put on this earth to “get it”… Jack Burton wasn’t… someone must have been…. I wonder if it’s me…
Pinch yourself and see if it is.
Well, I don’t feel invincible… maybe the stuff hasn’t kicked in yet.
Then we’ll just have to wait and see who logs on and complains about being pinched.
That will be who you are.
Is it hot in here?
No.
It’s you Johnny Null.
It is so you!
Johnny = hawt
CP: Kiss Off – Violent Femmes
*woah!* I was not prepared for such accolades! Thanks. 🙂
I am ill. I’m virtually never ill, but I am now. Poop.
It’s been insanely busy in the Null household. One good part of it is that our tree is up! Yay! Let’s see if the cat climbs up and naps in it, like last year.
Johnny, two words: “panties” and “camera”. Oh, and “JOe.” “Snow.”
*cough*
I’m headed home, and then to SW Colorado for the weekend to make tamales with Sly B’s family. On Monday, I could use some positive vibes from all of ya, my mom is having major surgery early in the morning in Colo. Springs.
I might not be on much until after that, so big mush to everyone. xox
Well, if you have a fever, then you’re literally hot, Johnny. Although I sure hope not. This has been a rough illness season.
Positive vibes to EssBee and mama EssBee. Here if needed.
I too offer my vibes. Wow, that sounds wrong.
“Panties” and “camera”? I don’t recall being THAT drunk!
We’re slated to get 1-2″ of snow here tomorrow.
Jack: Nothing some eggnog with brandy won’t fix!
I took a quick video of our neighbor’s horrid decorations. Either Lady J or myself will post them on Facebook. I’m trying to convert the format as I type.
Hope all goes well Essbee. good luck with the drive and moms surgery
Jø – you are tasked to get some (hehehe – no not that … PICTURES I mean) one those decorations are covered in 1 to 2″ of snow.
Thoughts are with you EssBee and ALL your family. (and I don’t even need an affidavit!)
WHO THE FUCK PINCHED LO PAN?????????
Okie-dokie. We don’t have any external decorations. Perhaps when we have more free $$$. But I can take a picture of our tree. Is the Deadpan flickr thing still up?
PS… theres nothing better than Lo Pan’s black blood of the earth vibes, Ess. Done and done

Oh, I’m sorry, is he going to be okay?
Well, the thing is, I thought your son was a lady.

Oh, well, I can understand that.
Yeah, well, it’s just nice that such a small thing can keep us entertained for hours. And years.
34 YEARS!!!! YAS!
Well, until you find a Chinese girl with green eyes — like creamy jade.
TEB: Apparently, there’s an old saying that mad dogs and Englishmen will go out in any weather whatsoever and not mind it. I infer that this is the case based on your post and the fact that there’s a song about it on an old album of my parents’ called “The Sounds of England.”
I guess that makes me an Englishman. I’ve been known to go out in a blizzard to get ice cream at a local shop.
Mad dogs and Vanamonde?
No objections to a gyrating Shakira, but that song is truly awful.
And um, about that cave in the beginning…..???
OK, my take-out order awaits.
You know Lo Pan too well, Null…. too…..well….
Id settle for a white girl with brown eyes like creamy poo poo..
Amy – wut?
Jack – take out? Whats her name?
i have my laptop (appropriately) on my lap and my dog if giving the those ” I’m cold and would like to sit there” eyes Typing will be harder for a while but he is happy.
Lo Pan: I’ve recently disclosed to Lady J that I’ve seen the movie easily over a dozen times. I bet two dozen is not a stretch.
Actually …
The song is
“Mad dogs and Englishmen
Go out in the noon day sun.”
So the weather person who equated that phrase with anything but a “hot, high noon” scenario has got some splain’n to do.
Um …
“Under a new system set up by Sprint, law enforcement agencies have gotten GPS data from the company about its wireless customers 8 million times in about a year, (snip) And while customers can shield themselves from surveillance by simply switching off the GPS function of their phones, the company and other carriers almost certainly have the power to remotely switch the function back on.”

Yeh, I can hear you now. I also know where you are and who you’ve been to see.
It’s now officially freezing outside my house. Snow stopped several hours ago, but there’s a lot of water out on the ground. Expecting 25°F tonight, so things should be interesting in the morning.
ice ice baby
Lo Pan: I’m serious, and J0e is correct about the song lyrics. There really is such an album, and such a song.
http://www.last.fm/music/Various+Artists/The+Sounds+of+England
I’m really disappointed that that song isn’t one of the playable ones. 🙁

Snootches.
Good night, Pan! 🙂
Best wishes to EssBee’s mom…
I miss you all terribly now that I cannot access you during the day. I’m looking forward to my final schedule which will only have me gone in the evenings.
I don’t even have the wherewithall to go back and respond to anything, but points of note I’d like to share.
. I’m doing so well in my training class that I’ve been assigned to help train someone else.
. I actually went out tonight to my local karaoke place where I haven’t been in ages and it was nice until…
. My knee completely stopped functioning and my mother-in-law helped me drive around looking for a 24 hour or late night urgent care. I didn’t want to go to emergency. It’s brutal. I think a bone is cracked in my knee at this point. This is seriously the most severe pain I’ve ever been in that didn’t involve childbirth.
. Not to mention it’s simply bad timing. Stupid knee.
. Took a percocet and will see how it is in the morning.
Proof:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdEnxNog56E&feature=youtube_gdata
There’s a few version of that song on YOuTube Amy.
+s
Hope the knee improves over the weekend Cj.
Morning Pan, my get up and go appears to have got up and gone.
Not sure how genuine these are:
http://oddlyspecific.com/
I liked the THOU SHALL NOT PARK HERE
I can’t help feeling if that one had gotten into the Bible proof of gods existence would ensure.
Best wishes to EssBee’s mum and Cj’s knee.
Shockingly, cursebird thinks I am worse than Mr. Mangan. (I have three offenses to his two.)
I like Shakira’s voice, but would rather not see her. The way she moves kind of creeps me out.
So, apparently, the new buzz is ambien sex. Have I mentioned that I hate humans? =)
Does the ambien sex come with mood lightning?
I’m not in anyway a footie fan (soccer to most of you lot), but I like to support the underdog when it comes to the World Cup. Now the way the notfittowipeyourarseon tabloids are celebrating the USA being selected to be in the same starting group as England (predicting a easy win)…means on the day I will be shouting:
COME ON USA!!!!!
justa J0e: Re: Sprint: Yep. But they’re not surveilling U.S. citizens. Nope. Remember when the cops claimed that they couldn’t track you via cell phone? Then random badguy was hiding in the woods, yet they found him. Answer? Oh yeah, we can track your cell phone. Even if it’s turned off.
On another note, Yahoo is suing to halt online distribution of its Lawful Spying Guide. I better not put it on my Facebook account.
Nomad Scry: I do think this is yet another example of why we, as a species, won’t make it. And if we do, we don’t deserve to.
For those who had never heard of Ambien:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolpidem
Huh. Beavers in IMAX.
Vanamonde: Thanks. Never knew anything about it.
Me neither JN.
Ambien sex?! I have a friend who takes the stuff and has absolutely no memory of what she’s said or done the next day. Ew.
Cj, really sorry to hear about you knee!
Everyone, thanks for the well wishes — we’re off! TTYL!
Oooooh spooky:

Thoughts and prayers for your Mom, EssBee. Hope she comes through the surgery OK.
And now, times for some chores on a frozen Saturday morning.
Ouch. Sorry to hear about the knee CJ.
Full contact karaoke, who’d have thought it?
It’s now supposed to be 1-3″ of snow tomorrow morning.
Morning Pan
We got lucky and only got half as much snow as expected. Still four inches…
Hugs for EssBee and her mom
Get well wishes for Johnny Null
Hugs and a rub for Cj’s knee.
Now to do some dishes while my hubby shovels the walk.
Good morning.
I’m no better. Gosh darned it all! I wanted to take the kids to see Planet 51 today, but instead I’ll be spending the morning at Urgent Care.
Have I mentioned how stooopid my knee is? Doesn’t my knee realize that I’m busy? I have more important things to do.
I blame my incredible tolerance for pain which I’ve built up due to migraines over the years. The fact that I tolerate pain convinces me more often than not that I’ll just be fine if I walk it off.
Yeah, maybe it’s just just my knee that’s stooopid. My brain might be partially at fault here. 😛
muah!
*hugs* Cj. I wish I could make you feel better.
Just for the record, the Wolf is a silly puppy *skritches Wolf behind the ears*
Now I’m going to do my Christmas Cards.
Where’s my address book?
Van: Thanks for finding the song! 🙂 Also, great link! Evo @ 11 episode 49 talked about, and was named after, a sign that belongs on that site: “Don’t Piss On This Wall.”
Cj: You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. Hope your knee heals soon.
Van: Your get up and go is way ahead of mine, which hasn’t even gotten up yet.
TEB – 4 inches can still be quite startling if your not expecting it. Even more so, if that’s what you wake up to.

No MA for me today, I’m snowed in 🙁
While there was only four inches of snow, the wind was bad enough to cause major drifting. Hubby has been out there for an hour already and hasn’t really even dented the driveway.
I also have half again as many curses as Mangan. Apparently I swear like Eric Cartman…
I don’t swear that often. I think it’s a hold over from when my kids were little.
Since I’m not going out, I can finish my Christmas cards.

For those of you not on Facebook or Twitter (is that any of you?) I had X-rays and the Doc found bone spurs and debris in my knee.

Okay, here’s a chance for you to lower your opinion of me — again. I kind of liked the Starship Troopers movie. It just has to be taken in the spirit it’s given. A blend of sci-fi, pulp, and really good stabs at the stupidity of the human race.

We liked Starship Troopers as well, JN. It’s a fun, turn your brain off at the door, type of movie.

At the cinema waiting for ‘Cold Souls’ to start..from the trailer could be a weird one.
^5 TEB 🙂
CJ, I was thinking something for osteoporosis would be more called for.
*runs away*
I think Starship Troopers was the first time we’d ever seen massive CGI armies storming the screen?
Aside from that, I wanted to ambush Paul Verhoeven with a bat in a dark alley after seeing this movie.
Wow, I think Cj will be ambushing Ed after that comment 😉
Cj, that is terrible news. 🙁 At least it’s during a time when you don’t have a whole lot going on.
Jack: I thought that was Space Invaders on the 2600. 🙂
‘Cold Souls’ was err interesting.
Planet 51 wasn’t so great.

What did your kids think of it Cj?
What did you think of the movie?
Sarah said, “I think it was kinda scary.” (she ate too much popcorn and threw up so she might have been swayed)
Fletcher said, “Good, but it was a little scary.” (he made it through the whole thing)
Neither of them fidgeted much and they definitely laughed at the silly parts, but when they REALLY like a movie, they generally ask me to bring it home. They didn’t this time.
I think it was a little slow, boring, and I didn’t really feel for the characters. It was just kinda empty.

So hey, I watched a really cool, cheesy-at-times low-budget sci-fi flick called “Ink”. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1071804/
Anyone else seen this?
The filmmakers had obviously been reading Sandman comics while developing the movie. They get full marks for deviating from the standard Hollywood templates. Definitely recommended, if you can tolerate some hokiness and some weirdness.
Wish me luck.
I’m on my way to be “arm candy” at an office Christmas party for a VERY right wing conservative company.
There’s a cash bar.
I have cash.
I put “Ink” in my Netflix queue last night, coincidentally…
Mmm.. “arm candy” sounds delicious!
Arm Candy? Well, here’s hoping you get licked a lot, J0e.
Paul, I was going to single you out for an Ink recommendation (the movie. your tattoos are your business). I suspect you’ll like it a lot.
Oooh. If people’s arms were made of Red Vines. I’d be a people-eater.
Red Vines; I want.
I already had the other ink (guy riding a fish).
In other news I have 3 BLC’s in the can, about 98% complete.
It’s been a good day. Secret Santa assignments are almost complete, as is Semester 2, Chapter 2 of the Cisco curriculum.
Night, Pan.
Morning Pan, Secret Santa assignment recieved (thank you Amy), panic mode engaged 🙂
Ok I have a plan, might not be a very good plan, but a plan it is.

Morning Pan.
I have given my assignment, should I choose to accept it…
I have the gift, now I need a box to put it in…
…actually, what I really need is breakfast. Back soon!
Yeah I won’t be able to send my gift Wednesday, may not make it over the pond for Xmas.
+till
There. My tummy has been filled with waffles, blueberries and whip cream. Yum.
I’m hoping I can get out of my neighbourhood tomorrow to mail my Christmas cards and my SS gift but, since the city doesn’t plow neighbourhood roads, we’ll have to see.
I wouldn’t worry about a gift being late Van. I remember one year Rhettro was my SS and I didn’t get my gift until mid January *poking Rhettro*
But that’s ok, it was worth it. I loves my Brala.

Opps, forgot to give credit to XKCDB. Silly me 😳
I’ve got two items in shopping carts and now I have to decide which one to ship to my gift recipient.
Meanwhile, my knee is under a nice warm compress. Thanks, Bunny!
I have a silly question. What would have happened if I had said no to international gifting? Would I be sending a Secret Santa gift to myself?
Gift wrapped. Now I need a box.
I don’t have a box 🙁 Will have to wait until I go to the post office and get one there.
Never got an address, even though I put in my own very early on…
Mine is ordered and will be shipping direct. Ho ho ho.
TEB: Indeed, you wouldn’t have had anyone to send a gift to… except maybe Randy and Val, but they didn’t actually sign up.
Awesome! I love it when things are discovered by accident. In fact, the major scientific discovery in my Nanowrimo novel this year was made by accident. 🙂
JB: Your Secret Santa assignment has now been sent.
Every time I see SS i just think of goose stepping Santas with one hand saluting and a gift under the other.
Back door frozen shut again. I hate the cold.
Bow chicka wow wow…
Just a quick little hop in.
We just finished watching Terminator Salvation. I know it got terrible reviews, and maybe it’s because we watched the director’s cut, but I was ok with it.
Oh no…
Ohhhhhhh well GOOD for you.
While I realize I have left myself open to ridicule, I don’t care. Maybe the director’s cut is better than the regular? Not having seen the original, I can’t say.
Now I’m watching Elmo’s Christmas Countdown. Why is this show on? Where’s the remote…?
Switched it to Christmas Out Of the Box. They are discussing the origins and science behind Christmas. Coming up next… The science of Santa. A NASA physicist discusses the math behind how Santa can deliver all the persents in one night…
Santa needs that big stomach for all those mine pies.
Each to their own TEB (would you like some salt for that lack of taste?..cough).
For me the film would have been so much better if Christian Bale had been replaced with a washing machine.
Android reigndeer?
Rudolph was a female
So the red nose was to signify she was in the mood?
I’m rather meh on CB myself, Van. Maybe it was Chekov that worked?
Besides, I didn’t say it was a great movie, or even a good movie, I just said I was ok with it. Of the threebad movies, gi Joe, tranformers, and terminator, Terminator was the better of the three. At least that’s how I see it. At least the story made a modicum of sense.
That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it 😛
Apparently only female reindeer have horns in the winter so there’s a chance all of Santa’s sleigh pullers were girls.
Oop, buzzer went. Roast is ready. Time to finish up and get supper on the table
I haven’t seen the latest Terminator, Bunny – – mainly because of the unfavorable reactions. My mockery was more directed Christian Bale.
Overall, I’m ok with the guy as an actor. He’s been a great Batman.
I want to see a Terminator Bunny.
Well, from a safe distance of course.
Watching some football, but not prepared to trash-talk tonight.
Evening pan. just got off the phone with the cable company. I’m getting CableCARD for my Tivo on Tuesday. I’ll finely be able to watch TV in HD on a regular basis.
Once you go HD, it’s impossible to go back.
There is a glittery lit Christmas tree in my living room and a bunch of lights on my house and inflatables everywhere on my lawn and hanging from my house.
I’m in my “office” chair on the sofa ahem.. surrounded by boxes of Christmas decorations. I suppose these were brought in to hint to me that I should decorate something.
it’s all very festive.
God bless us, everyone.
*applauds Cj*
My mom says we’re decorating our house this week. For my mom, “decorating our house” means getting out two or three boxes of stuff from the garage and setting it up around the interior of the house. Said stuff includes a two-and-a-half-foot-tall artificial Christmas tree. The good part is that we have the most adorable miniature ornaments to put on it.
Night, Pan.
I think I had a good weekend. I’m not sure if I did anything, and it went by really fast, so that must mean it was a good weekend, right?

My poor kitty can barely walk today. i think the weather is playing well with her arthritis.
Wow. You guys were busy this weekend.
Catching up now….
BTW, hows yous all doin’?
Crap. I got the NJ infection again. Let me go get my shots. 😉
Hey ditto.
I can’t speak for the others, but I’m doing my best to keep warm. Reading lots.
Hubby was busy on the weekend (see bored) and wend to Boardgame Geek and listed and ranked the games we own. I think we have too many…

So why did WP only consider part of the link an actual webpage? If you copy the ENTIRE thing and paste it to a new page, it works better.
TEB: Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s cold, but not frigid here, and on Saturday, I had to deal with driving in snow in NJ on roads I was not familiar with. Very entertaining.
BTW, nice board collection. I don’t have nearly that many.
Sending good vibes & hugs to EssBee.
Yeah, I sometimes think we have too many. Often, on Friday nights, a good part of the evening is spent trying to decide what to play.
Hanging on by fingernails for this shift to bloody end.
Awww. *hugs* Van. Hope the day gets better.
Cj: Congrats on the job front! Suxxors about the knee.
I assumed that “kids “busting” an atomic sub” was some sort of dance.

Today’s Deadpan Consumer alert –
So my sister gives my parents one of those “Single cup, instant, gourmet coffee makers”. I am not sure that this
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002MSJFKO/jaybrewernet-20
is the exact model but it will give you the idea.
Anyway, because my dad is an “interested” sort of guy … he decides to read the manual. He discovers that they recommend you put this thing on it’s own electrical circuit due to the power requirements. !?!
Apparently, in order to give you coffee at the push of a button … it must keep the water constantly heated and ready to brew.
This makes my dad REALLY want to know how much power it consumes. It’s not printed in the manual so he calls the company and they tell him it uses 1500 Watts of power. Continuously. Imagine turning on 15 100watt bulbs and leaving them on forever.
My dad is astounded. They explain to him that their is a way to program it so it won’t keep the water constantly heated … but they highly recommend just leaving it on.
There you have it, just about THE most energy inefficient way to get ONE cup of coffee. I’m surprised they haven’t come up with a model that runs on baby seal whiskers.
So … if you are thinking of getting one of these or already have one, you might just want to keep it unplugged when not in use.
Meanwhile, back on board the S.S. Innuendo …
Well, I think I’m going to brave the brrr and head to the mall.
The post office calleths.
Joe: This is my favorite coffee maker.
http://www.amazon.com/AeroPress-Coffee-and-Espresso-Maker/dp/B000GXZ2GS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1260205726&sr=1-1
So, a small sub could be called the S.S. Minnow?
“Hey, ‘lil buddy.”
My favourite coffee maker sleeps in bed next to me and keeps me warm 😉
Ok, I’m really leaving now.
Justa J0e. I have one of these by keurig and we love it but i know my power bill didn’t go up by $108/month i think it actually went down because we where not using a hot pad to keep coffee warm all the time. That sounds like bad design. the one I have doesn’t keep the tank warm and it looks like this one might.
I’ve heard of some people who average close to $40/day at Starbucks(!), so that’d still save cash for some individual households – – although those folks would then be denied the pleasure saying “venti-mocha-frap-lite-with-whip-and-a-double-shot” while ordering.
Jack, that would make me feel silly. those people have there own weird language. I doubt they speak Innuendo. thus they are no fun.
wow that a jump “you like starbucks” to “your know fun’

I have returned and I have four things to say about my trip…
Yah to winter snow tires
Boo to people who think they can drive like madmen in the snow and the ice.
WFT to twenty-something guys who think they are too macho to wear a coat in -20 weather
And who the hell, during the Christmas rush, decides it’s ok to only have one person on staff at the post office? The girl was also really, really grumpy, but I’m giving her that one because I would be grumpy too if I was alone during this time of year.
justa J0e: Thanks for the heads-up. We unplug just about everything we can when not in use. The collective drain adds up to decent $$$ over the course of a year.
I looked up the specs for my coffee maker and it looks like if mine is on all the time and we use it for 3 cups a day this cost is around $53/year. I’m not really sure how that compares to a standard coffee pot
More innuendos: Subs don’t like to be in dry dock.
Bunny, I haven’t warn a winter coat in about 4 years but I do wear layers, Shirt, sweater, hooded sweat shirt and also flannel lined pants when it is really cold. I’m also one of those people who have a hat on if it gets under 50F and gloves if it is under 35F. when it is 20 below i might even add a extra sweatshirt and flannel. I look like the stay puff marshmallow man but i’m warm. my likes to make fun of me when I dress like this.

bunny, that is just stupid. after it hits the upper 40’s F I don’t leave with out at least a thick sweater. My wife was picking on me last night because i put on my sweatshirt hat and gloves to plug in the Christmas lights. to do this i had to go out the door and turn around.

Re: High Power Coffee.
My father is the practical type who would wonder why you couldn’t just make a full pot-o-coffee in the morning and then re-warm, one cup at a time, in the microwave oven. I’m sure that IS more energy efficient but … probably not much more than plugging in his new coffee maker 5 minutes before he wants a cup and then promptly removing the power.
Re: Sub humorous

I don’t know if you in the US have it, but we actually have a Subway competitor called… wait for it… Mr. Sub 😆

Nope, Van. But right now their marketing push is for “the big classic”

A thought regarding Starship Troopers: I’ve always felt that you should go to this movie with the impression that “this is not going to be anything like the book”. If you do, you usually like it. In fact, to that end, I’m thinkgin I’m going to start Alt_Titling movies with the names they should be given, instead of the good fiction they’re ruining by being made
i.e. Starship Troopers = Nazis vs Giant Bugs
I Robot = Wil Smith vs Robots
I Am Legend = Wil Smith vs CHUDs

TEB – That’s pretty cool. I’ve got the cheapy disposables that are supposed to last a week. I take ’em out after about 12 hours though. Much longer and they start to stick to my eyeball. *shivers*
I have gas permeable contacts. I can’t sleep with mine in. They just bother me to much by the end of the day. But on the other hand I have had the same pair since I was in High school.
Re: Eggnog and x: I’m used to having it with rum. Every year we drink eggnog and rum on Xmas eve at work. Yeah, it’s a good workday. Anyhow, it’s nice with the brandy, esp. since it’s coffee-flavored. It’s a nice, smooth taste.

Dan, when I was a kid I read a short story collection called Nightmares and Geezenstacks. There’s a story in there similar to what you are describing. I quite enjoyed it.
There was also a story from the pawn’s point of view during a chess match. I remember liking that story a lot, too.
What happens when they run out of episodes?
Sorry, Van. I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
Van – They are currently on year 2 of TNG… It will be a long time before they run out of episodes… then you have DS9 and Voyager and Enterprise…
Then the movies…
Oh yeah don’t forget TJ Hooker…
Episodes of “In Search Of …”
Later we have Quantum Leap…
Van, if they jump to the other series the total is 726 according to Wikipedia so it might take a while till they have to worry about that.
If anybody’s interested… it’s snowing right now here in adanaC
They are times when ignorance is not bliss.
Oh, I understand. LLAP.

TEB, were you being backwards in coming forward on the weather front?
Quantum Leap is one of my favorite show because it is a sf kinda show my wife will watch.
That’s right, Van. I approached the front, backwards 🙂
When I was in school, there was a play about the founding of the country, Adanac. All the towns, provinces, etc were basically CDN lands spelled backwards. I don’t remember much about the play but, for some reason, the land of Adanac stuck with me. The mind is funny that way.

Moving someplace really warm is not much of an option for me, EssBee. I suppose I could move to Victoria, but then I’d be really close to the parental units. Hubby’s ok, but mine…
I’ve changed my mind. Can I wiggle instead?
We only have 3 inch of snow so far but the forecast says 10-14 more to come over night and in to the afternoon. I have to get out of here. I hate snow.

2. I hate professional sports. So, that is not helping either.
3. Anyone claiming to bring business to Massachusetts is talking about Boston and couldn’t give a rat’s arse about my side of the state. In fact, they are probably slobberig themselves trying to figure out how steal money from us. (We don’t have any left after the tunnel debacle.)
I think I should be sleeping.
I don’t suppose a good, hearty,
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID
would help?
Nomad Scry: I’ve heard anywhere from 2 to 6″. By now they may be saying 7′.
If you get 7′ JN I would recommend building snow tunnels and a snow fort. Those are fun 🙂
snow, snow, snow!
We have about 3 new inches of snow this morning on top of the 6 inches we had the past 2 days. It appears to be quitting now. I hope they can get the roads cleared this afternoon!
/road & weather report
Morning Pan. Saw Invictus last night. It was really good; I highly recommend it.
in other news. Google released Chrome for the mac. So far it is teh awesmoe!!
I remember, during my young childhood, traveling from my small town to Colorado Springs between GIANT piles of snow on either side of the highway. It felt like driving through a tunnel. I also remember having snow drifts in the front yard that we could climb right up onto the roof of the house. There are photos of us next to a completely buried ’68 mustang that belonged to my dad also when I was about 3 years old. Those were the days of snow that may be coming back.
And oops with the tease of a link and no follow through:

Where is the person that is responsible for the year that I am having…
I want to have a little chat with him.
Really.
Right back here…
Wolf, how about Glenn Beck? Oooh, or that Goldman Sachs guy? I could probably come up with a list if you want!
Wolf: Maybe you should have him talk to Fred from accounting:
http://dailycostume.com/archive/advice/
I hear people find him intimidating and he likes to give advice.
(sorry bout the repeat link i just couldn’t help myself & Fred liked the joke to)
hehe every time I hear the name Goldman Sachs I giggle a little hehe
Gold Man Sacks
So on the walk home tonight, a strange sight was spied, a funeral home with Christmas trees in the windows.
Creepy..
Is Fred from accounting the guy in the baseball cap, reaper?
Jack: He does look like a bad ass mofo doesn’t he.

Last night, I dreamed that Sly B and I were getting married. Her hair was in dozens of braids, but the braids had been snipped off, and bobby-pinned back on by her mom.
I had this awesome dream about the plot of a movie regarding a golf game. And it had nothing to do about Bagger Vance. But it was set on a sub. Really.

Okay, as someone who absolutely DESPISES those robo-“vote for me/my cause/hate the people we tell you to hate” phone calls … I am declaring a Jehod on them … or at least their voices!
IMHO – if they are going to leave their voices on YOUR answering machine, (especially WITHOUT your permission) … then they are GIVING you that audio!
I say we take that audio and “re-purpose” it for our own amusement. Re-editing and mashing it into a SHINNY NEW MESSAGE!!!!
Then we put these things on YouTube or some similure site to hopefully go viral.
If they don’t like it … they can STOP CALLING!!!!
Who’s with me !!!

Seems “ACORN” was set-up. Anyone surprised?
Investigators have released their findings on “The Videos”
http://www.proskauer.com/files/uploads/report2.pdf
and determined that the videos that had been released had been edited, in some cases substantially, “including the insertion of a substitute voiceover for significant portions of Mr. O’Keefe’s and Ms. Giles’s comments, which makes it difficult to determine the questions to which ACORN employees are responding. A comparison of the publicly available transcripts to the released videos confirms that large portions of the original video have been omitted from the released versions.”
The producers of the video refused to be interviewed for the investigation. The claim is that the “manipulation” was merely done to “shape” the conversation.
Yep, twisted is a shape isn’t it?
Shocking, JOe! *GASP*
On a heavy note, my mom took a turn for the worse today. She is out of her head due to either new meds, or a high fever. The fever has me VERY concerned because she is diabetic, and because my gramps died from a staph infection after back surgery. I am going nuts being 3 hours away.
Sorry to hear that EssBee.
Good thoughts are with you and your mom.
Will definitely keep her in mind, EssBee.
Sounds like someone is a student of the Michael Moore school of film.
This is cool and annoying .. all at once!
http://www.shop4tech.com/item8664.html
Today will be a hard work day. Nobody in the department, so I can’t hide in the office. Time to do some honest work and make some machine shine. Woo.
J0e – that sums up how Lo Pan feels about the holidays in general. Hell of the Retail Bound Sinners.

EssBee, do you know of tHERe Bar on Colfax and Franklin? Bestest PBR / White Chocolate mocha drink combo evar.
EssBee, my thoughts are with you and your mom. *hugs*
Everyone, I miss you.
My training final is tomorrow.
I’m going to go turn my brain off now so that it can function at full capacity in the morning.
I miss you guys.
Goodnight missed people.
Good night, Cj.
I need to go and turn my brain off soon. But first, the rest of this episode.
CW: House, S6E9 (last week’s) – it’s a really good one.
I hope to get the brain switched off soon too. EssBee, I definitely hope for the best for you and your mom.

Morning Pan, fingers crossed for Essbee’s Mam, off to the grind.
Just watched 2012. Craptastic Fun.
morning pan, snowed in today we got 13″ of snow over night and it is still falling.
EssBee, sorry to hear about you mom. thoughts are still heading her way.
I got cableCARD yesterday in my TIVO and I realized this is both a very good and very bad time to get it. good b/c i can make use today but bad b/c the local channels switch back to sd and put up annoying banners because of “breaking weather” it has been snowing for 12 hours it is not breaking
Good morning, guys and girls. No new news on mom yet. My dad is calling in about 20 minutes.
It’s -10 this morning, and I can’t even believe I am going to go outside.
Lo Pan, back in my drinking days, that place might have been a lez bar called Elle, but I’m not sure. I’ve heard of tHERe, but haven’t been. PBR/white mocha? Srsly?
An electronics question: do any of you have recommendations on a mid-range universal remote control for a HD entertainment system? I’m shopping for my dad, not for me — I’m still very lo-def.
EssBee, If he uses a pc I recommend the Logitech Harmony line. The original setup was easy but tweaking it took a little time. done’t get me wrong it wan’t hard just took some time. My wife wont be without one now.
Morning Pan!
Is it bed time yet?
Mornin’ Pan. Sitting at the car dealership with a battery indicator. Damn cold out there, taking no chances getting stranded. Despite all the news hype, the drive in was not that bad.
Installed gChrome on my netbook.
I IS HAPPY.
Multiple failures. Expensive stuff. Fixing some bits and living with others for a while. Swapping cars with my folks, who don’t drive as much. Working on selling both our cars in meantime, and then we need to buy a new car…
Not happy about any of it.
Ess- Its still a lez bar so thats probably it. And no they dont mix the two… but together theyre damn fine.
Also Lo Pan the only one allowed to be “Lo -Def”…..
JfS -Lo Pan is unsure if “craptastic” and “fun” can go together
Ugh. Shared misery: The thermo on my car goes to red now. I’m dreading taking it into the shop.
OMFG , Lo Pan was walking..er..floating to his Vanpool pick up this morning and Lo Pan’s no-flesh fingers felt as if they would simply fall off due to bitter bitter cold.
Lo Pan’s heart is cold enough. Lo Pan needs not this shit.
Nomad = ugh. Lo Pan hates cars. Lo Pan enjoys not owning one for as long as possible.
Sorry, JB. Money, money, money.
I just spoke to my mom, who sounds lucid today, but is pretty banged up from her fall. Looks like she’ll be in the hospital longer, and they are watching her now so she doesn’t take off to hurdle wheelchairs or something. Her fever is down, and they are still investigating the source of it. If it is an infection as a result of her surgery, I’m going to be insane with that hospital. The good news is that she sounds better. Whew.
Lo Pan is pleased to hear this
The new Season of Scrubs should have aborted before birth.
+been
Scrubs should have been aborted years ago. Sharks abound…
Cheers to your mom’s lucid state, Essbee, thanks for the cash sympathy.
I shall not be at any Deadpan meetup anytime soon, not that that was likely prior to this…
Lo Pan – I’ve been talking a good bit of nonsense about getting a bike and riding to work, but even beyond my innate laziness preventing that from happening, the wifeling has told me repeatedly that I am not allowed to ride a bicycle in the road in the middle of the night. She also says I am not allowed to ride in the road in the middle of morning commute. She is silly and has not yet realized that I am invincible when I am being stubborn.
I need to be more stubborn.
Also, she would probably have my head if she found out that I was calling her the wifeling.
Without a head, the bicycle issue would be pretty inconsequential.
Nomad – You must tell said wifeling that, if youre invincibility is anything like Lo Pan’s nigh-invulnerableness, then she has nothing to worry about. BIKE IN THE DARK, MY FRIEND! Sans reflectors and wear all black. Surely your non-death will be proof positive of all this.
Crap… Lo Pan went with the flow and also used the word “wifeling”. We shall not speak of this.
Lo Pan, yes they do go together. Remember 2 Girls 1 Cup? 2012 is like 2 and a half hours of that!
EssBee makes a good point. Hard to steer with no head. Even Ichabod had to carry his head with him.
And I wouldn’t know what a color was if it bit me.
Haha. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds pretty awesome.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD LO PAN WANT A THEATRICAL VERSION OF 2 GIRLS 1 CUP??????? JESUS AND CHRIST!
Perhaps I shouldn’t say this, but… I am going to anyhow.
I never understood what the whole uproar over 2G1C was about. On the one hand, that is nothing compared to some of the stuff that is *waves hand* out there. And on the other, I forgot my damn point. Grrr.
Ah, right! On the other hand, people do all kinds of stupid crap for the camera. Exhibit A: Flavor of Love. B: Jackass. C: Wife Swap. Wave a camera and some money and people lose what little minds they had to begin with. Mix in some alcohol and …
So why did this make the rounds? Or am I asking an unanswerable question, along the lines of, why did RickRolling become some sort of phenomenon?
Never saw it, never will. But it did sound like craptastic fun.
ZP growls at the two games mentioned in this link:

Never gonna give never gonna give… give you cup.
errr. Nevermind my prior question. I just looked it up on wikipedia and what I was hand waving at turns out to be the matter in question. Actually worse. Apparently what I had been told 2G1C was is a whole damn lot tamer.
That takes care of point number one. But number two stands.
Lo Pan – That was good. Very good. In a bad way.
Wheeler’s Treasure free for the day on the app store:

Nomad – good use of “number 2”. Well well done. pppfftttttt
Wheeler? Oh!
Cup-rolled??
I knew a guy who had a VHS tape of something like 2G1P, only much, much more graphic and horrifying. He’d unleash it at parties, just to make a room full of people scream.
OK, I think I’d like to change the subject now.

Bill O’Reilly: Let me be very bold and fresh again, do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough to handle the most powerful job in the world?
Sarah Palin: I believe that I am because I have common sense and I have I believe the values that I think are reflective of so many other American values, and I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the uhm, the ah, a kind of spineless, spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite, Ivy league education and, and a fat resume that is based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans are could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership, I’m not saying that that has to be me.

TEB:
I just got caught up on last week’s Deadpan, and I wanted to say: Kudos to you for speaking your mind about the Love Prowess category of the Bugs Bunny vs. Jessica Rabbit duel. Also, the outtake where you read the category in your talking-rabbit voice was adorable, and made me smile. A great job all around. 🙂

Wouldn’t it be cool if your heart surgeon had the same point of view as Palin?
“Well, I don’t have as much book smarts as other doctors, but I promise to say a prayer before your operation. Perhaps you should too.”
finely done with clearing out the driveway i think it took 6 hours of real snow throwing and 2 shear pins. I hurt. had to do 1/4 by hand because i broke a pin with in 20 minutes. but i have my health. sympathy again to EssBee’s mom and Cj. hope ya’ll get better
Abdomen, and some dried fish.
Rhettro, I think “most Americans” would find those American sentiments very finding. I hope that that shows how non-elitist, and well, non-ivy league educated that doctor is. I mean, it would did sure would now make me feel better. You betcha.
reaper: “shear pins”?
Okay, my favourite ‘chip’ tune EVAR:

Are Amy Bowen and Bunny are staging a Love Prowess coup? More fun ad-libbing to come in tonight’s DotF LP.
DotF = Lo Pan approved
Careful there Jack, you’re beginning to sound like one of them there elitest.
LOL
EssBee, quite true. Also, I haven’t had the opprotunity to give you well wishes for your mom. I wish her a speedie recovery.
Johnny Null: just a pin set in the auger drive that will break if you hit something so you don’t brake the machine you just break the $2 pin

For serious??? Over 10 million views? Lo Pan does not understand this
Johnny Null: wish i could say the same. I hate snow. when the kids and my wife are out of school (3 more years) we are getting the hell out of here. I have heard some high end lawn mowers have them also. and I know (from experience) many ATV’s have a “key” in the fly wheel that serves the same purpose. some companies are looking out of the little guy. I would rather replace that 2$ pin than a 50+$ drive shaft/drive system
EssBee & Lo Pan, while it brought a smile to my face I can’t disagree with Lo Pan 10M wow.
Kittens aren’t just for food, Lo Pan. 😉
Its cause ‘Mericans love the cute.
And war.
Which explains Miley Cyrus.
Odd.
ditto has made Lo Pan literally laugh out loud. This pleases Lo Pan.
Drinks for all! Lo Pan’s treat!!! Whoever can get to the bar at the corner of 11th and Ogden in the next hour drinks for free! On Lo Pan! Do it!
reaper – you should come the hell here. We dont get snow. Only cold white crystallized water vapor. Come, yes?
On second thought, with wind chill its -9 outside right now. Stay away, reaper. Stay far away.
It’s just freakin’ frigid, Lo Pan. Fri-gid.
You guys can keep your freezing ass ways up there. I had enough last week. kthxbai. 🙂
I lost a shear pin 2 years back. I don’t have too much driveway and sidewalk, though, so it is not a frequent deal. Broke a spring last year that allowed the traction to engage. That was a bitch to locate and fix. Had the help of a handy neighbor…
I didn’t lose a pin, but my shoulder hurts LAMF from all of the snow removal this week. I’m old.
OMFG the heat is off in the building…. WTF?
Dear Ed from Texas,

I know it’s not really, but I”m so behind. And, if I’m being honest, which I always am, I’d admit to being on some pretty strong pain killer right now. So, la la la.. my knee hurts, but I don’t feel it…
wheee!
Stay tuned for Cj’s daily catch up posts.
RE: The Entertainment Weekly “Best Of” movies. I have a subscription to EW and it has all kinds of cool stuff in there. I can’t believe how many of those movies I’ve actually seen. I don’t necessarily agree, but the interesting choices are appreciated.
Jeremy said about 2G1C – “Never saw it, never will. But it did sound like craptastic fun.”
I never saw it either, but have had it, unfortunately, described to me in detail. I put my hands over my ears the whole time and LALALAed but, I think “Craptastic” is the appropriate word. Literally.
I think the MAD Architects link from Jack looks like a pile of dirty plates from a dinner of broccoli and I swear I see a fork in there.
