Many discussions went on the Deadpan Board. Regardless of your opinion of the just passed Health Care reform remember, it comes down to one thing really, Deadpan is the Mother Fucking Way.
Thanks to Amy Bowen for some Deadpan mmmmeetup files. Will edit and, hopefully, will be able to post soon.

OK. That was worth the wait.
G’night :pan:
G’night JeLon.
Lejon. Grr.
Straining the night away.
Make me walk, make me talk, do whatever you please
I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees
Come jump in, be my friend, let us do it again
Hit the town, fool around, let’s go party
Errr… wrong lyrics?
He sings the songs
that remind him
Of the better times
Maybe that’s better.
Van, do you need some fiber?
Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew?
Cover it with choc’late and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can!
There, hopefully that bit of sugar will make for a sweeter week of deadpan.
Though, perhaps I’m showing my age, but I’m rather disappointed that googling for the lyrics required me to go to the second page of results before Sammy Davis Jr. came up.
Good morning, DP!
GM EssBee & Ed from Texas. Welcome to your Thursday.
Not that Candyman. Not that one either…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgPQosfqYtA&feature=fvw
morning pan, happy not quite Friday day.
Oh god. I thought Jack was going to make a hymen joke.
So listening to Ruby Fruit Radio and my fav line from a song today is:
Oh I, I hate People, but I, I like you.
CD: getting freaked out by bustops in the middle of nowhere.
Morning Deadpan!

The Energizer Bunny refuels with coffee and fruit.
I wonder if Duracell knows about this fuel source?
CP: Yesterday’s Fresh Air – The Southpark guys
Also, driving in fog is scary.
DP soon…… for now must prepare to run training session for people who could give a rats ass that Im running a training session. McJoy.
SOOOOO glad the bar awaits me after work
FOG?
Fugly Old Groupies?
Good luck, Lo.
Thanks EssBee.
Its all in the reflexes.
Lo: So you’re going to McDump data into their heads?
I may McRelease something…. God help em
It’s gold Jerry, gold!
Lo Pan: You driving the Pork Chop Express?
Loved the opening, and a sage closer. Good work, Jack. JRMurdock, well done as well. Well. Wellington. Oh, also really liked the song. Very touching.
CP: Trance Lab Radio
Yessir, Null, the check’s in the mail.
Deadpan listened to. Notes written.
EssBee: yeah, you never know what scary things await to grab you in the fog. I’d run for your nearest supermarket.
Right! Maybe there’s an armed daddy waiting there to rescue me!
Fuckin Charlie the Unicorn FTW!
Sometimes, finding the source of Jack’s openings require a bit of hoop jumping but, I admit, that was one of the easier ones to identify.
Morning pan!
Morning ditto!
Just an FYI on the comments. March was the quietest comment month of 2009. We’re now starting to get really close to triple the number of comments of March 2009
March 2009 comments = 1.380 (triple = 4,140)
March 2010 current comments = 3,149 (including this one)
We need another 1,000 please.
Sorry – we need another 1,000 comments by the end of next Wednesday, please.
*opens vent* WHY THE HELL can PLC making company’s realize Windows XP won’t be supported forever Server 2008 and windows 7 are getting more popular and 32bit or single core processors are the way off the past!
*closes vent*
Hallelujah, Holy Shit! Where’s the Tylenol?
It sounds like you need a Valium more than Tylenol, reaper. 😉
My old computer still has XP on it. My hubby’s computer has Vista. Our netbooks (and my new computer) Window’s 7. We have all our bases covered :biggrin:
All your base belong to me.
That sounds like a good idea bunny. And why would they support vista and not server 2008 or maybe 7? A 12+ year old software package will work on 7 but not the one that came out 2 years ago WTF!
Actually Lo Pan, I think all my base belong to hubby 🙂
all my PLC Laptops are belong to them
I escape reapers rant by the whiskers on my chin.. The new netbook uses a dual core Atom CPU and runs Windows 7 (32 bit).
reaper, take a deep breath in. Picture this: calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean.
Can I skritch the whiskers on your chin, Van? :silly:
Take your Ritalin, OK?
OK, you’re in a forest.
Forest?
With Heather Locklear.
With Heather?
And you’re very warm. Very…
..warm?
Warm.
I feel better now.
Heather Locklear? She’s soooo last decade.
I’m using XP at work. Next machine we’ll upgrade to 7 or whatever is out at that point.
I think 32-bit is going to be around longer than we all think it is.
Do you think single-core machines are truly going away, even with the pushing of “cloud” apps on to the general populous?
It’s an interesting time to project the future.
I predict… the future will see the comeback of Heather Locklear :cheerful:
http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/heatherlockmug.jpg
oh god why
http://stardietsecrets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/heather-locklear-puffy.jpg
She does not look happy in that second pic, Lo Pan
All her sad are belong to me
My future prediction… will see the death of us all, at different times, sometime several years hence :ninja:
I preferred Heather Thomas over Locklear whilst growing up.
Training time. Bitches.
Death is caused by repeated doses of saliva ingested over a period of time.
re: training time. Is that ‘bitches’ or ‘bitching’?
Sounds like Jack is making his own “Force 10 from Navarone”. 🙂
I thought it was caused by the repeated intake of oxygen and output of carbon dioxide.
I like this one, eh?
http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/50920/550_canadian_periodic_table
I like the fact it’s “heather” grey 😆
Someone is a big CapCom fan. 🙂

Since it was only briefly mentioned on cast, and I don’t think I put it in the notes at all (sorry JR), I’ll plug JR’s page for him. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=144228446188
Sorry ditto, does nothing for me.
Figure out the link yourself (copy/paste is good)
I hate to admit it, but I don’t listen to audio books. I don’t have enough time to listen to the podcasts I download, let alone adding books to that list. Besides, there’s still something about the feel and smell of old fashioned paper in your hands.
JN, Now that even atom processors are duel core I think they might. I do think 32bit isn’t going away but 64bit is coming on strong. I understand many programs won’t be able to take advantage of both cores but being able to have one core to max out and not effect the rest of the system is very nice.
Even dual core is starting to become ‘old’. Quad is the way to go now.
Yoiks and away. 🙂
I have to echo Jack’s sentiment: congrats on the number of comments guys. It’s a nice return to form. 🙂
good point bunny, if more programs could take advantage of more than one core more apps might really fly. We upgraded some engineering laptops from 32bit xp with 4gb of ram to 64bit 7 with 4gb of ram and the engineers are very very happy with the change. we might get 2 more years out of those laptops
Still need 960 comments
reaper: As for multi-core support, we are getting there. The problem is that, as a whole, programmers in the industry don’t know how to write thread-safe code. Work is being done to make that easier, but we’ve still got a long way to go.
Woot. I found my old Big Pig tape.
Ditto: I don’t know the first thing about coding and don’t ever plan to learn. but I think in many cases you don’t have to use more than one core. I’m not talking about bigger programs like an engineering package that surely would take big advantage of that. The big thing I wonder about is the difference between 32 and 64 bit. is the coding significantly different? the only thing i know about the practical difference is the ability to address more memory.
I’ve heard that there may be a slight increase in security between a 32-bit and a 64-bit OS, but I don’t recall why.
As far as multi-threading goes, how many apps do you have running right now? I’ve got a bunch. Even without a big honkin’ process running, you can see improved performance given the total workload. Also decreased heat production.
To my knowledge, part of the issue is also the OS itself. They’re generally not that efficient in using the multiple cores yet.
In other news, my desktop (Sony Vaio) at home won’t turn on. I push the button, and nothing happens. I’m stumped.
CP: Lucero – What Are You Willing to Lose?
CP: Ayn Rand stuff, since I know nothing about her, other than she’s a she.
I can see the call now:
Phone Tech: Have you tried truing off and on again.
EssBee: I’m going to try jumping into this phone to strangle you.
Phone Tech: Maybe I should let you talk to a supervisor…
reaper: There can be a difference for even non-memory work. It entirely depends on what you are doing; e.g. number crunching vs reading a document.
JN: For security, I think it has more to do with key generation support, but I’m not really sure. I have a ton of apps running. I tend to stress the systems I use even though I don’t game on my PC. And yes, my system is 64-bit Vista.
I agree about OSes. But, I think both Vista and Window 7 have pretty good multicore support. And OSes are always getting better. Efficiently using multicore requires a lot of compiler support which is where many of the problems lie for the general application developer. A lot of work is still being done on dealing with memory caching issues.
EssBee: It is likely a power supply problem. It’s happened to me before.
Thanks, ditto. I’ll look into that!
It could also be a dust bunny problem.
CP: 5 Year Plan — You Say Party! We Say Die!
I look at the process list and the count is 95 (10 are chrome). I did notice a huge increase in speed with 64bit win7 over either XP or 32bit win7.
JN, I also notice a single processor being full and the others not being used at all happens a bit less with the jump to 7 so i guess they are doing a little better than before but there is always room for improvement.
ditto: Yes, the DragonflyBSD project is putting a lot of work into multi-threading. Could be exciting.
reaper: Agreed.
crap it’s only 11 and I’m getting hungry. I don’t like taking lunch this early because the “afternoon” seams very long.
Good Morning, :pan: !
I love the smell of burning processors in the morning!
RE: multi-threading. It’d be great if the OS took into account single-threaded programs
LJ: I don’t understand.
CP: Like I Give A Care — You Say Party! We Say Die!
Lo Pan: Check out that band. I think you’ll like them. The album I’m listening to is “Lose All Time”.
Lejon: It’s my understanding that an OS forcing an application to multi-thread would be well-neigh impossible, at least without sacrificing any gain that multi-threading would produce.
Of course, I still don’t know what I’m talking about. But that is a constant.
I got the 64bit version of W7 for my desktop. I haven’t noticed much difference in speed increase over 32 bit Vista.
But I only have 2 gigs of ram in the desktop.
You guys may as well be speaking Klingon. Actually, I’d understand Klingon more.
CP: Next Lifetime — Erykah Badu
Van, I think you might if you upgrade to 4gb or more. My work PC is always using 55-65% of the physical memory and I have 4gb now.
I haven’t ever tried more than 4GB on a desktop but my current home PC is the first that would support more than 4gb.
I’m inclined to agree.
Deadpan is the way doesn’t translate to Klingon. 🙁
CP: You Know You Want It — Green Go
(from Chuck vs. the Tic Tac)
CP: Dead — Pixies
Is there a Klingon to Elvish translator?
🙁 Was going to watch another B movie today. Unfortunately it looks like there was a two week period where the DVR wasn’t recording properly. Had to dump a half dozen movies. No movies that appeal to be are on today to record. Hopefully there will be something again soon.
Bunny, you could always watch a good movie. . . . . ?
I do that too Jack, (a couple of good movies were included in the dumping) it’s just sometimes fun to watch a movie you can laugh at for all the wrong reasons.
CW The IT Crowd S3E4.
I’m almost out of episodes 🙁
Voting accomplished!
Well that was a right fuckin blast. Wheres my drink?
Will do ditto!!!! I trust your musac implicitly.
Well, that Ayn Rand was a very interesting person. Pretty compelling, overall.
JP (Just Played): Delorean – Stay close
CP: The Command Line Podcast
JN: She was interesting, but I hate the fact that her minions have taken to calling her philosophy Objectivism. Plus, while enlightened self-interest looks good on paper, it only works when people *are* enlightened.
ditto: Yeah, that’s pretty much my take re: enlightened folk. As far as “Objectivism”, that’s the term she used.
But getting back to the enlightened, doesn’t her philosophy encourage people to better themselves? I’m sure 99% or more of the population isn’t exactly living up to their potential, myself included.
Rocketboom recently had a nice, short episode that showed what AT&T did to boost network capacity–the measure of how many calls they can maintain at any particular time–for SxSW.
http://www.rocketboom.com/att-austin/
Techies and non-techies should like this one.
I should’ve started that by saying I only know what I’ve just heard from two T.V. interviews posted on YouTube, so I know very little.
JN: My confusion. I didn’t realize she came up with the term herself since I haven’t studied her philosophy in depth. I know it based on some reading I’ve done and through discussions with friends that are non-radical Objectivists. As for self-betterment, I think that was implied by the ethics she espoused.
Damn
I can not believe someone would turn down an interview with me…
I just don’t get it.
Although George RR Martin did say to ask again in the Fall….
Wow. Robert Culp has passed away.
Wander: IN-CON-CEIVABLE!
WNDRWolf: I accept.
Curious as to why nobody mentioned Robert Culp’s work on Greatest American Hero???
Wolf, Believe it or not?
The first link I clicked on did
http://splashpage.mtv.com/2010/03/25/rip-robert-culp-one-mtv-staffers-experience-getting-schooled-by-bill-maxwell/
Yeah, he was pretty memorable as the straight man to William Katt. I remember him best in that role.
WNDR, I’ve never turned down an interview request from you!
Hes walking on air.

Why is there nothing to watch on TV during the day? I have 400 channels and, unless I like soap operas or talk shows, which I don’t, there’s nothing on.
*sigh*
It’s a good thing I like to read too

That and getting caught out by Columbo with a potato stuck in a exhaust pipe.
Playing Rommel in some TV series with David Soul.
Starring in one of the first ‘interactive movie’ games (Voyeur).
…and voicing the bad guy in Half Life 2.
weird thing I really like about win7: I have the option to change the background at a set interval and since I have it set the change every hour so it changes on the hour.
I have been busy – Will not be to much

Be afraid be very afraid
Wow, I didn’t remember him being such a scrawny little hero.

Just watched LOST at lunch on my iPod. xox, Van.
Lo Pan, you’ll have to go through me to marry Richard. I love him.
Ricardo’s eyeliner will always be thicker than yours, EssBee.
Weekly Wander! Wowza.
I didn’t realize that the new Luc Besson movie, “Les Aventures extraordinaires d’Adèle Blanc-Sec”, was based on a fairly old Belgian comic series.
Uh… wow.
*backs away slowly, avoiding eye contact*

I can live with that, Jack.
Feel the pain…ditto…
EssBee… youre on bitches! Hims mine!
They are also reporting that Dennis Hopper is terminally ill. 🙁
Lo Pan: You don’t want to encourage me to learn Na’vi just to mess with you now, do you? 😉
CP: Off the Hook
Dennis Hopper’s kinda been “ill” for a while. Too bad tho. Like him.
reaper: Nice! I’ve used that on just about every Linux distro I’ve run. I also run apps that do the same thing on this XP box, but I opt for 15 minutes, since I get easily . . . SQUIRREL!
JN, I like that is built in because as the admin I discourage users from using weird screen savers and desktop changing programs so I didn’t use them myself.
One more strange win7 thing most of my users complain about – screen dimming:

RE: Multi-Threading – I wasn’t thinking about single processor programs being forced to multi-thread, I was figuring that the OS should recognize single processor programs to be directed to a single core while other traffic (multi-threaded and otherwise) is directed through the remaining processing power.
Finally created a Flickr account. I’ll see about adding my meetup photos to the pool.
woot.
FYI: I was not aware until just now that today is Varfrudagen! It’s not too late to celebrate International Waffle Day.
That’s awesome, Jack!
And now I’m hungry. 🙂
Clearly the cake vs. pie people are avid listeners of Love Long and Prosper.
http://www.lovelongandprosper.com/podcast/?p=270
*Muttley laugh*
EssBee SMASH
I must be one of the few people in the world that doesn’t like cake (other than carrot) I’ll take a rhubarb pie over cake any day.
Jack and JR, you have succeeded in putting together an entertaining show in spite of having a shortage of material to work with. Thank you so much for stepping in to help out, JR. And yes, I’ve already voted in the poll. :happy:
Pie is far superior to cake in every way. I thought this was common knowledge.
That’s it. Sunday, I’m making peanut butter pancakes. Heard of ’em, never ate one.
Nothing beats a good Black Forest Rum Cake.
Nothing.
Lo, hasn’t your happy hour begun yet?
45 minutes EssBee….. 45 excruciating minutes. 2 for 1 Black and Tans are but a moment away
Pie beats cake easily for the only reason cake exists is to get frosting into your mouth. Now Pie with frosting… oh man… I’ll be in my bunk!
Amy: Thank you, you are too kind 🙂 I was just stepping in to help out. Hopefully all that was on Jack’s HD isn’t lost.
Lo: Rum cake… hmmm I may be changing my mind.
Black Forest Rum Cake… its like an orgasm in your mouth. Mess included
Rum makes everything better, that I can agree with!
Huzzah!!!!!!!!
JR: You’re welcome. 🙂

Van, do you have to be a Brit to get that joke?
Isn’t there a Durham in the USA?
Just say the word a few times in quick succession.
Oh!
My gramps always said if you told me a joke on Friday, I’d laugh in church.
An acquaintance has a new book out. Looks pretty heavy:
http://american-junkie.com/
I’m going to hear him read on the 8th.
Yes, there’s a Durham in the USA. It’s in North Carolina. Mur lives there. 🙂
(I got the joke, but it took me a second, too.)
Wait.. Pink Panther! Durham? Um… someone is going to have to call that one into the voice mail line.
Is it too late for me to have FOZZIEd?

Well.
I’m sitting here repeating “Durham” over and over like an idiot seal and I am not getting it.
Durham.
Durham.
Yeah, nothing.
I should have said:
Cake. Pie. I’m the one with the tiramisu.
It reads better that way.
maybe you should just say, “I’m one with tiamisu.”

Really, it’s the same joke as “What did the Pink Panther say when he stepped on an anthill?” That one was popular around second grade…
In fact, when I finally got the Durham, I realized my brain had been so clouded by “Dead ant dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant,” that I could not corrrectly process Durham into the similar punchline…

Evil is what “e”mail means! Us sys admin’s just told everyone it meant electronic so they would be so afraid.

There’s a Durham in Connecticut. I don’t know how it’s pronounced elsewhere, but around here, it’s pronounced “DER-em”.
Cj: Way to go!
I’d love to switch to metric, but I have such a hard time visualizing a meter versus a yard, and so on. I’ll work on it.
These LOST podcasters feel about the recent episode like Lo Pan feels about Black Forest Rum cake.
Yknow I enjoy that cacklecast up until they start playing listener feedback. Kinda meh after that point. Fridays cast is always better anyway.
*cackle*
Dunno about the Captian… but any girl I date, no matter her lineage, gets a little German in her.
*rim shot*
(The rim shot in no way references any of the previous aforementioned posts)
I’m listening to Wednesday’s cast, and did have to stop at listener feedback. My tolerance for junk I don’t want to hear on pod is extremely low right now!
Aint it tho? Todays will be better as you know. Friday they actually delve into the ep instead of just recapping it
“tolerance for junk…”
I thought that was nonexistent anyway, EssBee.
*rim shot*
I have a mid-level junk tolerance, not that I want to . . . ahem . . . “get into” that kind of self-definition.

Shit.
I have lumber and rented scaffolding arriving at my house right now. I guess we’ll be working in the snow tomorrow!
There, have cookies in the oven. I’m so happy 🙂
Oh that figures EssBee. Meh!
We’re only expecting 2 cm. of snow (just under an inch for you neophytes).
Does that mean I win?

On another note: I think it’s safe to say Calgary won’t be in the play offs this year. So, do I root for the Coyotes or Avalanche?
Planning on catching “How to Train Your Dragon” today.
I plan on waiting on that movie until it hits blu-ray.
No movies this weekend. Hubby has a play date on Sunday. Will probably catch Clash of the Titans next weekend though.
Root for the ‘Yotes unless they play the Avs ;).
Dunno, Colorado is 6 points away from being out of the playoff and 5 points out of 3rd place overall. Oh the wacky wacky west
My boss messed up yesterday and sent me Wednesday’s reports again instead of today’s in advance. Then she took today off. As a result, I was done my work an hour ago (hence the cookie baking now). I love early release work days. :biggrin:
TEB: I don’t know. There’s a lot of variety this year. Chicago and Montreal are both in the playoffs. It would be nice to see an Original Six team other than Detroit win for a change.
TEB: I wouldn’t mind one of those days myself. 🙂
You win, Bunny!
Bad ditto, Bad! Your eastern roots are showing in that hockey thought. I root for western teams (and Detroit doesn’t count because it’s not really in the west despite what the hockey regulators say)
I use to be a huge Dallas fan but that’s worn away over the years. Also, Calgary has a better chance at a playoff position then Dallas does this year.

Ed: What are your favorite Droid apps?
BTW, there are still a few who haven’t paid up on their anthems yet. I won’t call you out (yet) but you know who you are 😉
CP: The Adventures of Indiana Jim
ditto: I thought that was a pretty good song, too.
Oops, I meant the Mr. Gnome one.
JN: I figured that was what you meant. 🙂 BTW, are you going to get the new live album from the Dropkick Murphys?
CP: Reina – Gitana
I’m not sure which is the artist and which is the title.

Howl?

http://www.noiseaddicts.com/2009/03/can-you-hear-this-hearing-test/
I can sort of hear 17k. Sort of.
ditto: Meh. Maybe. I’m not much for live albums in general. I need to get more Flogging Molly first, for one thing.
Nice test, Nomad. Mine cuts off after 20. But thats like I have to close my eyes and think of nothing else while I listen for it.
Yeah “Shoegaze” is suddenly the hip thing to be labeled. Dunno how that happened. Used to be uber specific label.. now its kinda just not. This is not what The Catherine Wheel intended!!!!!
Lo, thanks for test-taking. I wasn’t sure if it was just a silly joke… you know, where they pretended to put sounds in after 17k.
I wear 30db ear muffs at work (which is to say, I actually wear my hearing protection, unlike all of my co-workers) and I’ve noticed my focused hearing has improved since I began wearing them.
If I’m not paying total attention I don’t hear a damn thing. Heh.
I can’t remember where I picked this one up. A quick and dirty survey from 2004(ish) that used hotornot.com to how your name affects your attractiveness.
http://www.mit.edu/~perfors/oldhotornot.htm
I’m still struggling to understand what the author means by front and back vowels.
I think the shocking part is that hotornot is still around.
I always preferred

reaper: I don’t like cake either, except for my sister’s Tres Leches cake… otherwise, I’m a pie guy all the way
EssBee & Lo Pan: RE: Black and Tans – I’ve enjoyed my share, but at one point I discovered something at a bar called a Black satin (this name apparently varies on the pub) which is essentially a black and tan without the Bass Ale and using a split of Champagne instead… Very Tasty. There’s also the Black Velvet (again, name varies with pub) which is the Black and Tan with Cider instead of Bass ale. Or, you could go stricktly Irish on it, and have a Half and Half, which is Guinness and Harp.
Oh, God, I miss drinking…
TEB: I am impressed with your Royal Conversion powers. Now, how are you at making cheeseburgers?
#officially-playing-catch-up-to-make-up-for-the-driveby-last-night
I am NOT HOT, but I blame that on the vent over my desk…
Catherine Wheel reminds me of Fivespeed. Which is upside down, I realize.
…
Hey! Fivespeed is from Pheonix. That means Jack and Cj know them… right?
Yes, Lejon, but are you Goth?
Oh frogs. After Noon and I’m still up. Tsk tsk. Night folks. Remember: the goal is a 1000 by Wednesday.
The sky is blue! Take that, forecast!
DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUNFORECAST!!!! DAMMIT ESSBEE NOW WE’RE DOOOOOOOOOMED!
The only reason I know of Catherine Wheel is that somehow Bruce Dickinson is related to the founder. I think he is the founder’s uncle.

June 8th can’t get here soon enough.
/realizes I’m a dumbass
Crap, I never did give you feedback on Droid apps!
/
Alright, some of my faves
Aloqa – pretty good location based directory. Specially for finding places to eat when you don’t know where you are.
Where – another location based directory. Overall, I like Aloqa better, but Where gives prices for gas stations in the area and I was able to get from the maps to Google Navigation. This one came in very handy when it came time to find the cheapest gas near the car rental center at the Phoenix airport.
Handcent SMS – replacement to the built in messaging app. Will give an on screen popup when you get a message along with a reply box. Major cool – you can use the Android voice recognition to dictate a message to send instead of fumbling with the keyboard.
Daily Strip – (stop it you pervs!) Quick access to a couple dozen comic strips that are accessible on the web. Much easier than trying to bookmark websites.
Shazam – originally for Iphone. Google specifically got with the makers of this one to get it on Android. You can use the phone mike to listen to a song playing from just about any source. The program samples the music and will then report back on the song name and artist. It’s a bit hit and miss, but impressive when it works.
Dock Simulator – you can use this to put your phone into either the “multimedia dock” mode or the “car dock” mode. The pricey docks that Motorola sells use magnets to trigger the Droid to switch. This program does the same thing with software instead.
XE – Currency converter
Speedtest – allows you to run a test of your bandwidth.
That’s a good start for now. All of those apps are free. I’ve not yet found a paid app that I’ve been willing to shell out for yet. The one I really want and would pay for is Ewallet, which I used going back to my PocketPC days. They make an Iphone/Touch version that I have, but haven’t made an android one yet.
Time for lunch…..
Ed: Thanks. I’ll look into those.
CP: Signs — LoveLikeFire
CP: Sick Of You — Lou Reed
Random responses:
I knew a guy who’d made a homemade potato gun, back in the day. I get it.
Catherine Wheel’s singer is Bruce Dickinson’s cousin, I think?
The version I’d heard as a kid repeated “dead ant”, not “Durham”.
A new Nevermore track! Iron Maiden is also coming to town in June! Maybe I’ll send my lawyer, since I probably won’t be able to afford tickets for myself (here’s hoping, Rhett).
Mayor McCheese is probably the creepiest.
Ed, you are truly an awesome human.
Bunny, I’m biased toward the Coyotes, of course.
Speaking of hockey, I’m formulating a new singing wager idea for the upcoming NHL playoffs. Are people game? It starts next month, will run into June.
Are there any remaining Olympic anthems coming? (aside from mine)
CP: The Infidel Guy Show
I’ll try the test a little later. I can easily hear that high-pitched ringtone that kids were using (still using?). Very annoying. So, I’m doing well for my age. But I have tinnitus as well. I’d trade.
Jack: I’m in for the NHL game.
WP ate my post. Darn you to heck!
As I was saying, I will take the test later. I can easily hear the high-pitched ringtone that kids were using (still use?). It’s annoying. But, I also have tinnitus. I’d trade.
Let’s see if this one makes it.
Huh, I’m guessing something I’m writing is flagging my post.
Ed crushed my hopes for the daily strip app. 🙁
In for NHL.
JN, I bet it was the term ‘ringtone’.
OK, I’ll think on it and write up a proposal for the NHL playoffs.
Nubile Hotties Lunching
Yes Jack, I’m hoping for a Maiden filled June.
*Muttley laugh
Back from the grocery store. My cupboards are now full for another week.
Scry: I have a bent canal in one of my ears. I consider myself lucky at 14
Scry: My name has a front stressed vowel but I still think I’m damn sexy, which is opposite of that study 😉
Lejon: Make your own damn cheeseburger
Jack: You should know I’m always up for wagering silliness
jack: Thanks. Makes sense.
TEB: sudo make me a cheeseburger.
I up for the NHL challenge, but if I go for the Coyotes, I’d probably be subjecting the Pan to a lot of singing and no one wants that. I was born in Detroit though, so I guess I can get behind the Wings.
+ ‘m
The fate of those who wager in silliness is to die, laughing.
Rhett, there are worse ways to die…
Lunch time!
Death by Snu-Snu?
Death by Urkel?
Is matrices the plural for matrix?
Mattresses?
Lo Pan: Nice reference!
Huh, I guess I’ve aged a lot, ear-ily speaking. I can hear 15 if I get near the speakers. Anything less I can easily hear a room away. Crap.
CP: OTR Swagcast: Season 2 – Episode 8
reaper’s link needed to be pried from the bowels of the :ftb: , but it bears a reposting:
http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/03/25/the-most-badass-alphabet-ever/
Hey JN – I will be talking with Executive Team from Broken Sea this weekend.
That is awesome, reaper! I love J!
Death by Ukulele?
Ok, most of the apps on my iPhone are games, but other than that:
Shazam – Ed explained what it was..cool to show off.
Skype – works well on the ohne apart from incoming texts disrupting conversations.
Echofon – Twitter client
Facebook – too obvious to explain.
Firstclass – an app for accessing Open University’s student conferences.
eReader – ebook reader from Fictionwise.
Fstream – for listening to internet ‘radio’ stations.
Metro UK – app for downloading and reading the electronic edition of a free paper.
Layar – Augmented Reality browser uses the GPS and compass to show nearest pubs, cafes, etc on top of a live feed from the inbuilt camera.
Pocketgamer – app for reading the pocketgamer web content.
Ocarina – play a virtual Ocarina using the phones inbuilt mic.
Stanza – another ereader.
TrueHDR – combines two photo to increase dynamic range of a scene.
So, while I did have an awesome night, my morning has been a bit less awesome.
My parent/teacher conference (at 7:45am ugh!) went well..
Then my 8:30 doctor appointment to have my knee re-checked ended with me getting an expected Synvisc shot in my knee. The doctor had trouble getting the needle into an area of my knee that didn’t have bone spurs and as such, I had a major panic attack after about the 7th stab.
Once she was finally done with the injection I broke out in a major sweat and nauseated dizziness. It wasn’t a pretty sight at all (I’d assume since I couldn’t see a damn thing through it all)
A nice visit with some smelling salts, a cup of water, and nurses rushing around me taking vitals (all while my son continued to play with his Leapster) eventually got me back to normal.
I think I need a nap after all that.
Survey Monkey is complete.
BTW Jack – the song at the end of this episode should have been accompanied on Ukulele.
Just say’n.
Why, Jack, I didn’t even think you were an Android user….
…or perhaps you’ve been checking out my package 🙂
I am not goth, but I did marry a reformed one…
TEB: Right, then. I make a Quarter Pounder with cheese. No Royals about it…
EssBee: Matrices is the correct plural.
Thank you, sir.
You’re very welcome
However, as a small tangent
Index can be pluralized as indices or indexes
http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-ind2.htm
But what’s the proper plural for Dominatrix?
best McD’s toys?: http://i.imgur.com/X7woE.jpg
I think yes, at least when I was growing up.
So I’m about to send out a group email to everyone who’d agreed to record something for the 60 Lines thing – basically confirming your interest in participating. I guess that makes this afternoon the deadline to sign up and be a part of it. . . .
If I don’t hear back from you, I’ll assume you’ve changed your mind, which is also ok.
Jack: Do you ever need more than one dominatrix?
EssBee, Re: more than one dominatrix – well you probably don’t “need” more than one…
Are there parts left for the 60 Lines thing? If so I’ll be available.

I don’t know about ukelele accompaniment, but mandolin could probably be arranged…
Back from Dragon.
To quote the kid from The Incredibles: “That was totally wicked!”
quite possibly the funnies thing I’ve seen this month.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMoWt0wnlUw
Dammit, ditto. Dragon looked like formulaic crap. I was planning to skip it.
Rhett, we’ll make room. Welcome aboard!
Jack: Nope. You’ll love the dry wit in it.
Sure, it has some of the basic formulas in it–son vs father, misfit outcast, etc–but it rises above them, imo. The animation, score, and characters were all great.
wOOt! Thanks Jack.

Kick Ass doesn’t open here till Wednesday..grrrrrrrr!
I can’t wait for Kick Ass. I really hope I haven’t set my expectations too high.
We seem to have escaped the storm (but high winds are expected as it warms up). Construction, ho.
Morning Pan.
Right now I’m really angry at my hubby. If he thinks he’s going to give me his cold… I’m really going to fight him on this one.
Ah an image of TEB kicking the cold virus ass floats to the surface.

I’m at work on freaking Saturday, and the least you’d think could happen is that there’d be no calls.
Well, that noise is all in someone else’s house, ’cause ’round here, the band’s playin’ a different beat.
MAKE IT STOP!
< /RANT >
Better Morning, :pan: !
hope your weekend is going well.
Well I enjoyed the latest Caprica, but I’m hoping grayson’s wife does jump off that bridge.
..and stay dead.
OK – to get caught up. But first:

Break a leg, Maki.
Speaking of hockey, here’s the kernel of the idea:
For the playoffs, we use Survey Monkey polls to associate a song (or a band? let’s say 1 song for now. . . ) with each of the 16 playoff teams. (Egs: Straight Outta Compton for the L.A. Kings or Lump for the Washington Capitals) Everyone gets to pick 1 or 2 teams. If/when your team is eliminated, you need to record yourself singing 30 to 60 seconds of the victorious team’s “anthem”.
What do you think, sirs?
^ Sounds like a great idea to me! :happy:
jack: Late one, but wanted to mention I really like Rising Sun. I’ve got it on *gulp* VHS.
WNDRWolf: Cool. I think I heard your bumper on their show once, or something like that. Anything in particular that we can look forward to?
Lejon: Lady J is a reformed goth, as well.
jack: I’m still “go” for the 60 line thing. Just haven’t checked my mail yet.
EssBee / Lo Pan: I’m planning on revisiting Big Trouble in Little China over the weekend as well. Also on VHS. At least it’s not Betamax.
JohnBoze: Good luck!
Went to a meeting last night of a new Hackerspace opening up in western Mass. May be pretty shiny.
On a less fun note, I seem to have done a lovely number on my back. Laying flat down on the floor is the only thing that isn’t painful, to varying degrees. Funny thing is, this is the first time I can recall of screwing up one side, not the whole lower back at once. It’s rough lifting my right leg. Ah, well. At least it’s a good time for this to happen. I should be fine-ish come Monday.
Awesome! (not about Null’s back. That sucks). We have about 2 weeks to think about songs for playoff teams.
With Null’s confirmation and Andrea’s last-minute Facebook note, we’re a go on the 60 (now 68) Lines thing! Emails with lines will go out this weekend.
And on an odd front, there’s this couple we’ve been hanging out with roughly once a month. Nice couple, she’s a stay-at-home mom to a <1 yr old boy, he works with Lady J. He's owned a sidearm for quite some time, goes shooting pretty regularly, and so on. He's actually been working on going in to the National Guard, and doing rather well. Anyhow, I got a phone call today. He's been fired. For carrying at work. That's right. He's the sole provider in his household, with a child, and he knew he would get into hot water if someone found out. He knowingly took the risk and still carried his piece into a retail store, and carried it on his person, concealed, for his shift. Actually, every shift, except when it was being repaired. Words fail me.
JN I would suggest a combination of Paracetamol and Tramadol, it give me some relief when I strained my back.
On a white-trash note (nearly as many notes as hells today), I still did some grocery shopping today. Returning to my car, there was a pretty old, white minivan parked one space away from my car. A family of four was disembarking (or “were disembarking” for Vanamonde 🙂 ). The wife (assuming they’re married) carried the baby. The husband, clad in a Tapout shirt and jeans worn in the fashion of a teenager in a ghetto, walked alongside his other son, I’m guessing roughly eight years old.
This son was saying something to the father that I couldn’t make out, but it had the cadence and tone of teasing.
The father replied with affection, begun with a chuckle as though finishing a favorite family limerick, “How about I smash your fucking head into the side of that door?”.
I was shocked, to say the least.
In New England, we have a habit of droppin’ our gs.
Vanamonde: Thanks for the suggestion. I’m stubborn, I really don’t take anything. I won’t even take Aspirin unless things get out of hand.
JN: sorry about your back. Hope you can find relief soon!
Bunny: Don’t get sick! *snuggles*
Update on me: My knee issues should be ending soon. It seems the gel injected is working. I’m still sore from the actual injection, but the scary crackling noises have stopped. Woot!
Took the kids to see How to Train Your Dragon and it was a huge success all around. I love love loved it! It’s captivating and the characters are immensely lovable!
I will own… er, I mean the kids will.
*cough*
Cj: I just sent you a “direct” message via Twitter. Let me know if you don’t get it.
Oh, and lastly, since my back has now chosen that I have some time off from working around the house, working out, and so on, I can hopefully submit some new content. One idea I have requires multiple people saying “Deadpan”. Does anyone have an easily-accessible collection of various Deadpanians saying “Deadpan”? And perhaps Jack himself? Or Jack, can you send me you?
That being said, I do self-medicate. For instance, I prescribe for myself a martini and sleeping on the floor.
Thanks for the well-wishes.
JN, you could just rip out deadpans from various episodes.
I’m glad everyone is on the mend, sort of?
Johnny, I’ll try to get you some “Deadpans”. Do I have your right email address? The hotmail account linked to your old moniker? If not, then email me with an updated one.
Word.
:jack:
Vanamonde: Dammit, I’m trying to be lazy!
jack: Yes, and thanks!
JN: I can say deadpan into a mic and send it to you. ya know.. if you are “into” that sort of thing.
Cj: That would be great, thanks!
So am I misusing “into”? I fear my English is devolving,
I haven’t been to the beach in about 2 years (even though I’m less than 30 minutes from it) It was an AWESOME day. I got a nice burn one (missed a spot). Had a good time. Water was FREEZING!
JN: Hope you’re feeling better.
JN: I have a mic and I’ve been known to speak into it. 🙂 Let me know what else you might need.
JRMurdock: Nice. I’ve had some of my best beach-days when there was snow on the ground, or it was near-freezing.
Thanks.
Will do!
My e-mail is either johnny_null over the Yahoo way, or Jack has my old address.
Off to a big Tweetup in my area. Later, Pan! 🙂
Well, we have new fascia and soffit, save for a little piece we’ll hit tomorrow. Tomorrow: paint.
JN: I’ll gladly record myself saying “Deadpan” when I get my microphone back. It’s on loan to the World Languages department at the local high school for speaking-test purposes.
TEB and ditto, this next one is for you. @earthhour posted the following to Twitter earlier tonight: “Canadians, we think you’ve sent us the greatest #earthhour photo so far: http://bit.ly/aXR1Ob take a bow!”
Tired. Headache. :mush:
Nevermore = Dreamtheater with a hard on?
TEB – One of the points the author, ah, points out is that the sample group on HotOrNot is primarily a bunch of dimwits (I’m more than paraphrasing), so the results may not be typical. And I think your name is really nifty, which is kind of fitting since you are. 😉
Cj – Leapsters are excellent. And I’m glad you are doing better after that scare.
Hm. YouTube is eating my sound system. I wonder why. Time to try rebooting. For the 4th time. And avoiding the YouTube.
JN – That discussion after some minor technical difficulties took 2 hours. It was the first time that executive team actually was in one spot at one time.
WNDRWolf: I’m glad that didn’t end with an implosion!
SPeaking of “Nevermore” type…uh…stuff. It seems tat Nightwish did a cover of W.A.S.P’s “Wild Child”. My god I must hear this
Soooooo the Avalanche are second only to the Oilers in man games lost to injury this year aaaaaand its showin. I suppose theres a real shot they may miss the playoffs and therefore I should prolly start thinkin of another team to pick for the Deadpan Hockey Jam. Just in case.
Morning Pan!
Just a quick hop in.
JB: I have all my digits crossed for you.
Van: I hope she does jump. She’s my least liked character in Caprica
I think the song for Pittsburgh should be The Kid is Hot Tonight by Loverboy
Amy: Alberta is notorious for actually using more energy on Earthday than usual
Hubby’s happy. He’s well enough now that he can go on his play date today. Lots of music will be made.
Now to search for some Tylenol. While the stories talk lots about next week, they don’t often mention the crucifixion of the Bunny the week before because it was thought that the never ending pounding in her head was actually a sign of the devil.
-Bunny out-
Thanks NS! And yes, the Leapsters have proven to be a very wise investment … er I mean, Santa made a wise choice that year.
We watched Brothers. Pretty much great acting overall, especially from the older of the children. Not really a movie that I would have chosen, but it also wasn’t as violent as the ads make it seem.
Still violent, of course, just not a Woo or anything.
Gotta love that CHR score…

Had some AWESOME beer last night. Just woke up. WOO!
I do NOT have the sniffles.
I think Detroit should be Lord Mr. Ford by Jerry Reed 🙂
Now I’m off to NOT buy more kleenex for the house.
Amy Bowen: Excellent, thanks!
My wifi is being extra crappy today.
A definite improvement in my back. I still may take a day off tomorrow. If I do, it’ll be the third day that I have taken off of work since I began working. Not too bad.
Good to hear you’re on the mend JN
Thanks much.
Ok Deadpan.
Since I’m sitting here doing sweet all, so I’m able to spend wayyyy too much thought on this.
And we need another 600 comments by Wednesday cut off to triple March of last month.
I’ve decided to start my thoughts on hockey music.
It may be a little time between posts as I will have to do some research since I’m not entirely sure on titles/artists on my thoughts
Based on current standings…
… Some choices will be self evident others, I’m sure, will be more obscure…
Washington Capitals:
Just the Two of Us – Grover Washington
Cry Me A River – Diana Krall (I know others did this but this is my preferred version)
Capital G – Nine Inch Nails
New Jersey Devils:
Sympathy for the Devil
Devil Inside – INXS
Running With the Devil – Van Halen
Devil With the Blue Dress On – Mitch Ryder
Well, I just finished cleaning the house, and I’m drinking the last of the rum, in tribute to WNDRWolf’s very good recent episode.
I like Diana Krall.
Buffalo Sabres:
For What It’s Worth – Bufallo Springfield
I can only think if one song for Buffalo, sorry
Pittsburgh Penguins:
The Kid is hot Tonight – Loverboy
Horatio the Penguin – Great Big Sea
Shine – The News Boys
Pennsylvania 6-5000 – Glen Miller (ok, kidding on this one 😉 )
Ottawa Senators:
Be Cool – The Foam
The Ottawa Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxLEWDHd5sA
But I double-plus unlike Audacity at the moment.
Buffalo soldier?
Montreal Canadians:
My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion (come on, you saw it coming 😆 )
Under Pressure – Queen & David Bowie
Ready to Die – The Unicors
The Unicors = The Unicorns
The Boston Bruins:
More Than a Feeling – Boston (you saw that one coming too)
I’m a Gummy Bear – Gummibar
Dancing Bear – The Mama’s and The Papa’s
Ha! No longer have Audacity on my main computer (new computer coming next week so started to clean up). Realized I don’t have the MP3 converter for Audacity on my netbook. Downloading it now so may go a little slower on the music for the ages.
Philadelphia Flyers:
Philadelphia Freedom – Elton John
Well that ticks me off… Why did WP moderate my start for Philadelphia Flyers?
Anyway
Philadelphia Freedom – Elton John
Love Town – Peter Gabriel
Streets of Philadelphia – Bruce Springsteen
That’s it for the East. Now let’s see what I can do to destroy the West :biggrin:
San Jose Sharks:
Do You Know The Way To San Jose – Dionne Warwick
Power Slave – Iron Maden
Black Water – Doobie Brothers
http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/penned_the_suckiest_movie_ever_sorry_MdXedZpTMWJmfpw80Xc7aO?sms_ss=facebook
Bunny, the Flyers comment is freed. Stupid Flyers. Speaking of hockey: Wow, Calgary is leading the Crapitals 5-1 right now. Did they switch uniforms?
Chicago Blackhawks
You’re the Inspiration – Chicago (again, if you didn’t see that one coming, you’re blind)
Michigan Blackhawk – the Monkees
Thanks Jack!
And I am not posting too quickly!!! You’re just posting too slow.
Where was I…?
Oh yes!
Chicago, Chicago – Frank Sinatra
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver Anthem – Matthew Good
WP is making me mad :angry:

Trying Again!
Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver Anthem – Matthew good
Cool Van!
So Unsexy – Alanis Morissette
In Cod We Trust – Group of Seven
Bunny is on a roll –
Pepper by Butthole Surfers was the first song I thought for the Colorado Avalanche:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4WUlNSx_Wk
Anything Broken – Darwin Marsh
I’m doing them in order. Colorado’s a ways yet *sticks tongue out at Lo Pan*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22tktN87ASk
Detroit Redwings:
(There are so many songs about Detroit – I’ll just name a few)
Lord Mr. Ford – Jerry Reed
Oops. That post was supposed to be a suggestion of a song for the Phoenix Coyotes. Although, actually, I would prefer either “Desert Rose” or “Arizona” in that spot.
I don’t think I heard that song before, Amy. Cool!
Detroit Rock City – Kiss
Motor City Madness – Ted Nugent
Bye bye 24:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8591709.stm
Or “Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert.” That one sounds like it would be fun to sing.
Los Angeles Kings:
Hollywood Nights – Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
JN: You’re welcome! 🙂
TEB: Thanks!
I second Jack’s motion to use “Pepper” as the song for the Avalanche.
I Love L.A. – Randy Newman
We watched the first two seasons of 24 but dropped it half way through the third.
L.A. Woman – The Doors
Hotel California – The Eagles
jack: I’ve launched a small audio payload at your inbox.
Californication – Red Hot Chili Peppers
Vanamonde: Pretty cool.
And finally… The Colorado Avalanche *sticks tongue out again at Lo Pan*
A nod to Jack’s pick
Rocky Mountain High – John Denver
Actually, anything by John Denver would fit.
Please Come To Boston – Dave Loggins
Colorado Sunrise – 3OH!O
Rocky Mountain Way – Joe Walsh
Well, that’s it. I have stuff to do.
I did my part to raise the comment count – now do yours. We now only need 500 comments to deadline in order to triple last year.
Just to clarify: We need a total of 1,034 comments for this week to reach our (mine really) goal.
Oh (really I’m going), despite what I’ve wrote for Colorado, I also prefer Jack’s pick over all)
I’ve got a chicken to get ready to roast before hubby gets home.
Don’t know if I’ll be on tomorrow as I have to go downtown.
Later gators!
Gators are from Florida, methinks.
Four people have returned 60 Lines recordings already! Thanks so much, you guys.

Only a dream can kill a dream.
‘Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wade.
all the slithy^
All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe.
wait, I take back the “all” correction.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch,
Beware the Jubjub bird,
and shun the frumious Bandersnatch.
He took his vorpal sword in hand,
long time the manxome foe he sought.
So rested he by the tumtum tree,
and stood awhile in thought.
And while in uffish thought he stood,
the Jabberwock, with eyes aflame, came bounding through the tulgy wood,
and burbled as it came!
One, two, one, two, and through and through,
the vorpal blade went snicker-snack.
He left it dead, and with its head,
He went galumphing back.
Holy crap! Galumph is an actual word.
Ah my first encounter with the Vorpal Blade was playing Dungeon Master on the Atari ST.
And hast thou slain the Jabberwok?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Calloo! Callay! He chortled in his joy.
‘Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves and the mome raths outgrabe.
Vanamonde: I think the first time I heard of a vorpal blade outside of The Jabberwocky was in D&D (or AD&D?).
crap, I fouled up the italic tag.
Egg, how’d you get up there?
Wan’t easy!
We really shook the pillars of heaven, didn’t we Wang?
The devourer
Is it him or her?
Is it scale or fur?
I want to know yooooouuuuu…..
Trying to remember the name of the game that’s from…
Wang?
does it occur in the dark of nite?
crystal cavern lite?
metal appetite?
i want to know you…..
I think it was one of the alternate reality games. I loved those games. Too bad they stopped making them. They had suck potential.
TEB: You’re really living up to your name 🙂
I remember playing that game and you’d have to buy food. I’d always order “Roast FOWL! Bloooooood pudding! and a tall glass of milk” then laugh 🙂
If you can’t laugh at black pudding you..
Alternate Reality was really a cool game. If I remember right, there was supposed to be several more modules to it. I’ll have to look it up on wiki now 🙂
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_Reality_%28video_game_series%29
JN said – “My wifi is being extra crappy today.”
I misread that as “wife”.
Busy :panties:
Tired me.
I suppose having busy :panties: will make you tired.
^ NS: So did I.
Gawd, I wish that’s why I was tired . . .
Catching up in a free minute here..
The NY Post article about Battlefield Earth and J.D. Shapiro was an awesome link.
Thanks, :jack: You know how I feel about that one! :silly:
More catchup:
I used to play Alternate Reality on an Amiga.
I also played Might and Magic

This list has probably been done before.
Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves – NES (I wrote the game manual)
Silver Surfer
When this game came out from Virgin for the console (I think NES or Sega I forget which) they had a contest where if you had a high score you sent in a photo of your score and went into a drawing. I received like 1000 photos of the same picture from this one kid.
Toe Jam and Earl
Uninvited
T should have also been Tempest.
I loved that game.
Venice Beach Volleyball
Whomp’em
Xenon
Yoshi
Zelda
Goodnight Pinball Machine
Good thing I never called myself a gamer. This crowd [points at Van and Cj] would pwn me.
I promise never to say that again.
Good too see that CJ’s gaming experience is well rounded.
It’s always a good time for a good game list.
In case you needed something to do today…

Actually if the Avs make it I’m going with “Get Out of Denver” by Bob Seger.
Cause right now my hockey team needs to think about whether they wanna go to the playoffs of go home. Snarf.
Wait is there a song about no defense and shotty goaltending? No? Drat.
I know several people will get a kick out of this list: The worst best classic rock songs.
http://trueslant.com/michelecatalano/2010/03/29/the-worst-best-classic-rock-songs-of-all-time/
Agreed with all those picked except for The Wall. Stairway is a very fitting Number 1. Yuck to that song. Yuck.
ditto: nice list. I kind of like some of those songs but I have had enough after a few minutes and others I just don’t like.
Yep. There’s a reason why I rarely listen to those (and other) songs.
[very important] Speaking of, ol’ VH1 had the top 100 one hit wonders of the 80’s on the other night. They, in their ever present wisdom, picked “Come On Eileen” and the best one hit wonder of the decade. That song may be the worst song of that decade. Boo to VH1… boo I say. [/very important]
Lo, That has to be one of the stupidest popular songs in history.
Far and away, reaps. Far and away.
Movie notes I saw How to Train your Dragon yesterday. Fuckin awesome. VERY surprised and pleased. Highly recommended to those of you who havent seen it.
Also saw Hot Tub Time Machine. Worthy installment into the gross out comedy genre. Ending was a total piece of shit and the entire film was a rehash of Back to the Future, but it was free. Otherwise rent it. Enough lolz to make it entertaining.
I don’t do Peter Cushing impersonations.
Wat?
Morning Pan!
Downtown was a bust.
I think the internal fan on my work laptop is kaput. At home I have it on an external laptop cooling fan but when I work at the office, it’s docked so doesn’t have that external fan. I got about an hour out of it before it overheated and shut itself down. Am now at home again working from here. My giant 1,500 page report will just have to wait until they fix my work computer. Breaks my heart.
Lo Pan: Agree about Dragon. It is the first movie in a long time where, at the end of it, both T & I wanted to see it again. Disappointed to hear about Hot Tub. I was hoping it would be better than that. Still, I wasn’t expecting much.
Now, I’m just waiting for Kick Ass. 🙂
ooohhh. H.A.W.K.s is flying over our neighbourhood. I wonder who the bad guy is…
Oh well, now I can listen to the new Wander Radio that I see just came down the pipe 🙂
I feel old today, I hurt everywhere. Had to defrost the freezer this weekend which involves going up and down stairs about a dozen times to transfer food, than rolling around on a tile floor for an hour to remove the plate covering the coils. than sitting on that tile floor for about 2 hours emptying the drip tray. Than putting the parts back on was another hour rolling around on the floor. releveling tool 2 hours on the tile floor because the damn thing keep “making some weird squeaking noise.” than another dozen trips to transfer the food back.
I didn’t know my hips or elbows could turn that color purple.
Wow reaper. Defrosting my freezer seems like so much less work.
Tron 2, Kick Ass, Iron Man 2, The Losers… thus far seems it could be a banner genre summer. We’ll see what surprises and what sucks.
Hubby is on Spring Break for the next two weeks. He’s in composition mode. Another advantage of being home this morning is I also get to hear him putting together his music. I love listening to him play :wub:
reaper, I also feel ancient today. This weekend was spent up/down ladders, scraping, sanding, painting, demolition, construction. Man, I’m tired. And the house is only 1/2 painted.
EssBee, I haven’t painted a house since I was 12 but even than it sucked. ladders are no fun at all.
That’s what contract workers are for (that and looking at their cute butts) 😉
Bunny, but than you don’t get the pride of a job well done and…
fuck that you have the right idea…
at least on the first part for me
Be honest reaper, it’s for both reasons for you as well :tongue:
Ah the rain has arrived and a walking I will go.
A walk in a light shower sounds nice, Van. I wish I could join you.
The e-mails are going fast and furious between me and work. I’m off next week so they want me to send in my computer for them to look at while I’m off. Now to figure out the hows and wherefores.
I spent an hour or two in an actual bed last night. Back is healing. Was nice sleeping with Lady J again finally.
That’s good to hear JN. Hopefully you’ll be fully healed soon.
Tanx!

Lo Pan: Wow. That just proves that the overall quality of politicians in office nowadays is pathetically low.
I agree “people should stop participating in such shameful behaviour”.
Like that’s going to happen.
Damn, that’s impressive. I also find it interesting that it “may” be found “insensitive”. Like it’s on the cusp.
Now, if he said “furries”, I’d agree.

Engrish???? PUH-Lease!!!!
His grammar is que terrible. We should probably nuke him.
Although I did understand the words, “I need to purchase…”
I see a trip to the music store in his future :biggrin:
Nuke them all and let God sort them out.
no…god…
Let Lo Pan sort them out?
Lo Pan: I agree.
I think Munn should be nuked as well. I had no idea she was doing anything. She’s earned some level of “fame” by acting like a whore at the drop of a hat. I’m all for fun and games, but if that’s your one trick, time to move on. She’s not even that hot.
Let Lo Pan sort em out.
Where has she acted like a whore? Ive only seen her on Attack of the Show and didnt mind her. Also shes pretty damn hot imo.
TEB: That is so awesome! I’d love to be somewhere where I could overhear someone composing music. I’m on Spring Break this week (really, though, all that means anymore is that I get one Wednesday night off when I would otherwise have gone to a class), and my dad is on Spring Break this week and the next. Actually, that also means no elementary-school volunteering for me for the next two weeks, because the school will be closed.
Personally, I like painting houses. I’ve done both interior and exterior house painting.
Re: NH state rep: What. The. Frell. :angry: :frown:
I’ve painted the interior of my home, even doing some creative stuff. Never did the outside.
The one time I painted the outside of the house, it was an older house with exterior walls made of horizontal boards, so it was relatively easy. I’ve never tried to paint exterior stucco.
Amy, I here from a cousin that has a stucco house you can only spray paint it to make it look good.
I thought that was probably the case.
Watch out – Amy is going to start cussing like a Battlestar sailor…
Deadpan ’em all, let Jack sort ’em out.
Painter Amy, sounds like fun. I’ve got a house that needs painting 🙂
I can’t wait for lunch. I have left over pork lo main from a restaurant called Yummy Chinese Restaurant.
I love herring them answer the phone: “haalow dis yummy”

Ha! I’m here for ya Scry! Ill be sure to keep em coming
I watch quite a bit of anime. There is some seriously whacked stuff out there, but it is a fraction of the whole. To label all anime as bad is the same as labeling all TV bad simply because of a few bad shows.
Blame the story, not the medium.
Oh I am ditto. May be the first Micheal Cera vehicle since Nick and Nora that Ill be able to stomach.
Medium is indeed a bad show.
*jazz hands*
Scry you have an extra five minutes? If so… ENJOY!
http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/03/fan_fiction_friday_zack_morris_in_the_one_gigantic.php
What? Jizz hands again?
I like the music article, ditto. Oh that author is such a LawnGuyland chick – – I can almost hear her raspy cigarette voice in her complaints.
Funny, I actually still really dig all of those songs, except the Meat Loaf and Bruce Springsteen. And ok, I’m also pretty done with November Rain.
I’ll concede, however, that in every case, I always thought the lyrics were meaningless, pretentious prattle.
I’d have definitely added “More Than a Feeling.”
Damn what was Bunny’s comment goal again? I think we are getting close.
WNDRWolf: LOL!
“She’s not even that hot” is pretty harsh, JN.

OMG, stupidest conference call of all time.
Black eye! I laughed so hard I peed (a little)
Does that Mean EssBee and I are the Black-eyed Pees?
EssBee, Stupidest? Oh, I work for AT&T… I’m sure I can compete with that statement 🙂
“Thought leadership”
Kill me now.
“I appreciate your candor.”
I flip off the phone.
EssBee what kind of hell hath you found?
The hell of corporate drudge and ass pain.
EssBee, it’s really challenging to leverage vertical blue sky thinking if everyone isn’t powwowing to pull together out of the box on the same page.
“Bonding with the Sales leadership”
I’d rather visit the gyno.
We have literally just spent 20 minutes trying to decide if people are available on April 15-16 for a meeting in Dallas. 5 of the 7 people (not me) on the line make in the $200-$300K range.
We still don’t know if there will be a meeting.
“Our one-on-ones”

JR, ditto, I can’t assess those remarks as valuable to the big picture. We should all roll up our sleeves and be team players and work hard to bring something to the table.
Candidly, I agree with Jack. But also challenge him on his general attempt to steal my thunder and take credit for my blahblahblah.
EssBee, just be grateful you get to have such meetings on the phone where you can vent your righteous anger in real time here on the board.
Some of us get to live them face to face with no where to run.
And, shouldn’t $200-300K people have “people” to tell them when and where to travel?
Thanks for reaching out, EssBee. I value your contribution and I’m filing it away. If we put our heads together and burn the midnight oil and pinpoint brick-and-mortar solutions, I’m sure we can structure some productive light at the end of the tunnel.
I think this game is eating my soul. I’m going to stop.

I haz wifi here at the QAC.
Jack, I am confident that we’ll find some synergy, but only if we keep noodling. Soup-to-nuts. Transparency. Touch points. Branding. Mission. Strateg . . .

I’d forgotten about it. Used to have a huge crush on Dudley Moore.
SQUEEEEEE!!!! Somebody just came by my QAC station to get a replacement Census questionnaire!!! Moments like that where I actually serve my purpose are SOOO gratifying! :biggrin:
It’s almost quittin’ time, though. Off to Chick-Fil-A for dinner.
Amy, there’s a way to get a replacement?
I ask, because I have received like 5 notices that I will get one, but one never arrived. I suppose I could do a search online to have one resent to me?
Also, at the theater this weekend for the Dragon movie, I saw a trailer for the new Karate Kid movie with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.
Now it’s my turn for my childhood to feel canoodled.
Japanese Voyeurs are very much a Nirvana knock-off, but still kinda fun to listen to. Some of their other songs have a bit more variety than “Dumb”.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqm0x68KDGU
Cj, and everyone else: Yes, there is a way to get a replacement Census form if you haven’t received one in the mail. The replacement for it is called a Be Counted form, and it can be obtained from designated Be Counted sites staffed by people like me.
Everyone, if you haven’t gotten a Census form in the mail yet, or have lost or misplaced yours, please use this search tool to find your nearest Be Counted/Questionnaire Assistance Center site and its hours:
http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/bcqac-textview.php
It saves $4 of taxpayer money if you complete and send in a Be Counted form (we QAC Reps only cost $12.50 an hour, whereas Enumerators, the people who go door-to-door to collect data, cost $16.50/hour).
(However, if you have received one by mail and haven’t lost it, please fill that one out and mail it back.)

(I’m seriously planning on listening to some music while working tomorrow, just so I can post CP: messages here all day so we can hit that comment goal. 🙂 )
Ditto may have mentioned this before, but if you want to dip your toes in anime:

There is an app for iPhones/ipod Touches that allows you to watch videos over a wifi connection.
Finally Caught up, and now to bed.
G’night!
:mush:
So, today is all about synergy and being a collaborative center of excellence in the field of blowing up planets and deadpan comment goals.
Man, it’s funny reading articles written by whiny punks with no clue about how capitalism works.

morning pan I’m glad I don’t have any synergy meeting at my new job. We do have meeting that aren’t necessary but the info is good to have. we talk about any safety incidence, how much money we made/lost, cost of raw materials, current capacity, up coming projects, general state of the company. my last company never shared with us any info about anything. it really makes we feel better about the company and how open and honest they are with us. guess it is easier to do that when you only have about 200 employees
Happy days are here again…

I love the Mario kart games
LO PAN!
[thunder rolls]
The best part of that wretched FFF is that the writing is better than demoncat.
… I am still trying to think of something else nice to say.
Morning Deadpan!
We only need 200 more comments over the next two days. Easy peasy!
Oh Nomad, you made me literally lol right now. Poor demoncat…. and by “poor” I mean “get thee to a writing seminar! Stat!”

Ah! It seems Teenage Fanclub has a new album out. My question? Why does Teenage Fanclub have a new album out?
I dont think I wanna see Badu nakey.
wow only 200 I think we can kick that goals ass!
I didn’t even know there was a group called Teenage Fanclub. Thanks for educating me Lo Pan :pinch:
Youre not from ‘Merica.
Fuck yeah.
In other news, as Jack knows it seems Too Short has a new single.
My question? Why does Too Short have a new single?
Thanks Lo Pan, now I have the slow version of “America fuck yeah” in my head
Except, according to their website, they’re from Scotland, not ‘Merica
http://www.teenagefanclub.com/
So how do you know about them Lo Pan?
Fucking Hockey gods!!!!! Calgary is only 4 points behind the Avs! Oh Bunny this is gonna be a wicked last part of the season. Stupid Avs.
Calgary has bee four points behind for most of this last third of the season. I wouldn’t worry about Calgary as much as the “Stupid Avs.”
and also one of the best lines from that movie…
“Thats alright, I kinda feel like dieing”
Welcome reaps!!!
No Bunny, I mean they had a hit in ‘Merica. Thats why I know them. Theyre one on those early 90’s alternagroups ala Lemonheads that had one hit and faded away unless you were in the college radio scene. They kinda sucked IMO.
I know Bunny, but it seems the Avs have been stuck at 89 points for a month now. Thems hurtin.
on = “of” two posts up
reaper gimmie the signal!
* waves arms like crazy*
IT’S ME!! IT’S ME!!
No, Lo Pan. You meant “on” :tongue:
As the dyslexic once said, “On means on”!!!!!
Look, one of the terrorists is mocking us!
The last part of todays Something Positive is excellent. And not -just- because Choochoo is in it.

Funny story. I’m currently listening to Lejon’s TTM. There was a promo for Pip’s Kiwi podcast. In it a woman screams. My hubby’s in the other room, heard the scream, came into the office asking if everything was ok. I laughed and told him is wasn’t me. He’s so cute. 🙂
Completely off topic but had to share.
http://www.edisonresearch.com/home/archives/2010/03/one_in_four_have_listened_to_an_ipod_or_other_mp3_player_whi.php
The fight and love scenes in that movie are genius.
we have a topic?!?!
i never got the memo
Best quote from Team America might be:
*deep tough guy voice* “I promise I will never die”
While I admit to being one of those 25%, I’m not quite sure I see the point of that article. Really – so what?
Its a Hot Topic!
*shoots self*
reaper youve seen the “full” love scene right? Complete with… uh.. bodily fluids?
So I think most of us are that “1 in 4”, yeah?
Now only need 160 comments. We’ve had a busy morning.
No Lo Pan. It can’t be most of us. Didn’t you read? It’s only one in four of us 😆
Quick everyone stop commenting!!! ;P
*blank stare at Bunny*
Lo Pan, I just couldn’t. I have the movie and after a few minutes of laughing the “love scene” I had enough.
[waves at Ed from Texas]
You can never have enough puppets and fecal fetish.
Wait yes you can.
Lo, you’re safe. The “naughty bits” are blurred out in the Badu vid. It is also very oversat and blurry (probably so they didn’t have to get permission from all the people walking by.) The most interesting part is about halfway in when you can see the guy in a red hoodie following along after her picking up her discards.
Oh and the shocking final second. That was… yeah. Dude.
Lo Pan. I can back that up with a real world event. When we were in Arizona going to Sidona. There were four of us in the car, yet only one of the four brought an i-pod to hook up to the car stereo. See, one in four 😉
*licks Lo Pan’s nose*
Thanks Nomad…now I gotta go see it for the shock. Sorry Ms. Jackson. I am for real.
*blanker stare at Bunny*
*wiggles nose at Lo Pan*
Mimas has ghosts. That explains everything.
(re: Van’s linkage earlier)
*slowly backs away*
Lo Pan, That is the part I have only heard about. i just couldn’t bring myself to watch. I also skip through the puking part because it just goes on to long.
I always get the name Teenage Fanclub mixed up with Teenage Head. Yes, they are totally different.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Head_%28band%29
I agree reaper, that part was a over the top.
TEB: I had my iPod hooked up to my rental at the time. It’s something I almost always do when I’m in a car.
Wolf! We can haz topic?!
The 45% of adults owning a portable media player stat is interesting. The 54% of them using it in the car is … obvious?
I used to do that in my Scion xA (because it had a jack. I miss my xA. [weeps]) but since that got squashed, I just put my ear buds in while driving. The darling dearest uses a tape deck adapter with her PMP. So 100% of my sample owns multiple PMPs and uses them whilst driving.
I should go publish my findings. [only midly sarcastic]
The length of the puking part is what gives it its beauty, reaper. I lose it every time I watch it.
ditto said “teenage head”. Thats illegal you bastard! Heh
Midly? Mildly. Gah.
It reminds me of the family guy “I hit my shin” thing. It is just way too much. the kids love it but after 5 seconds I’m thinking “I get it and have moved on why didn’t you”
I linked to the Teenage Head official website. It’s pink. Need I say more?
Because I cant move on from glory. I must bask…
What movie are we talking about? I don’t think I want to see it, whatever it is.
Yes you do Nomad! Team America. Fuck yeah!
NS, Team America World Police
Freedom costs a buck o’ 5!
Lo Pan: I can always count on you. 😉
Yes, ditto. You can m’love.
“I hate that movie, just a little more than I love you” Cute song.
When you see Arec Barrwin, you see the true ugriness of human nature.
You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!
Your plan will fail! You’ll never keep the world leaders distracted here for 9 hours!
Oh no? I’ve got Arec Barrwin!
Dear God!
I’m so ronery…
The Hell of Alec Baldwin.
Gah. I’m reduced to drinking instant coffee since we’ve run out of the good stuff at home. 🙁
I’m not a big fan of “funny” movies and TV. I get angry for some reason. For example:
Movie: funny stuff
Me: Hahaha
Movie: more funny stuff
Me: Ha
Movie: still more funny stuff
Me: This blows.
Movie: Yeah, well… You do too!
Me: [O.O]
Yeah Bunny! Yous sing it!
ditto if you come here Ill make you real coffee.
Nomad – thats why youre dead inside. Dead….inside…
See but that was funny Nomad!!! You funny! Why you no like the funny?
You brow Arec Barrwin!
Fuck now I really wanna go home and watch Team America.
I admit I have to be in the right mood, but some funny is better than others. I don’t watch sit coms on TV. Not a big fan of most Wil Farrell movies, for the most part I find them rather inane, but I did enjoy Elf. Not a fan of Adam Sandler movies for the same reason. But I did enjoy the South Park Movie and Team America. *shrug* I guess they just have to hit me right for me to enjoy a comedy.
I’ll hit you right.
*runs*
BAM!
Lo Pan, remember I know martial arts.
Remember???? My wrist still hurts!
Awwww, muffin. :pouty:
“As actors, it is our responsibility to read the newspapers, and then say what we read on television like it’s our own opinion”
I mean not bad enough to make me stop mast…uh… mastadon…ing.
I don’t know. Part of it is the whole (I’m only partially kidding) raised in a cult thing where I simply don’t have the cultural references that everyone else does.
Part of it has to be that stupidity makes me angry. Even if it makes me laugh first. It is a fine line between “happy funny silly” and stupid.
… Unrelatedly, Bunny says “I’m so ronery…” and I start CPIMM: Divinyls.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFEfmbAeEDY
Scry, I think that’s also in reference to Lo Pan’s comment just before yours :biggrin:
I think it’s safe to say we’re going to surpass my goal. We’re only 100 comments away from tripling March last year and we still have most of today and all of tomorrow… Now to think about April’s goal…
matt damon
Matt Damon.
This chart is hilarious:
http://scifiwire.com/2010/03/how-to-tell-browncoats-fr.php
Elf was okay. The first time.
I loved Stranger Than Fiction. I don’t know if it is supposed to be a comedy because it made me tear up real good.
That’s my Ferrell.
Sandler, for the most part, has gotten better over time. I detest pretty much anything up to the Wedding Singer. I utterly hated Click. Kate Beckinsale, Christopher Walken, David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler, and Sean Astin combined couldn’t save that one.
Pretty good article about Kick Ass
http://scifiwire.com/2010/03/outraged-by-kick-ass-curs.php
I haven’t liked Ferrel in anything, though I haven’t seen Stranger Than Fiction yet. Sandler is hit and miss for me. I liked Waterboy, Zohan was silly and over-the-top, and The Longest Yard was much better than I expected.
ditto, funny – but since I’ve never seen Avatar or Lost, I really can only enjoy the 1st two columns.
They need a column for those of us that love all 3.
Yes, I know I fall in the “Star Trek” column because of the obvious, but I’ve never had sex with a girl who has pointy ears.
Just sayin’
They have that wrong. I never got spanked by a light sabre. Sex role playing for Star Wars means dressing up in a Princess Leia costume (you know which one I mean)
Van: I’m waiting for CrunchyRoll to make a Droid app. 🙁
Great site if you like anime.
ditto, that chart = awesome
Scry, your right, Stranger Than Fiction was definitely Farrell’s best
On that chart, I am none of the above. If I had to pick one using the chart, I’d go Browncoat.
I almost said I’d go Brown, but I affeared what all of you sick bastards would do with that one.
“Needless to say, Kick-Ass was not the kind of comic-book movie Hollywood studios wanted to make—every major studio passed on the adventures of a teenage crime fighter (Aaron Johnson)—but now that Lionsgate is releasing the independently made film, director Matthew Vaughn expects there will be some backlash from parents’ groups and political pundits.”
Methinks Lionsgate hit the jackpot here.
these people must be busy:

Once you go Brown you never…uh… back down?

NS, who us?

Cj, matt damon?

M. Night Shamalayan sez:
“I love the [Twilight] series, and Catherine [Hardwicke’s] movie, it was one of my favorite movies of that year,” he said. “Really, I thought tonally, it was a perfect movie. I called her up after I saw ‘Twilight’ and was like ‘That was amazing.’ So I’m a big fan.”
FUCK and NO. We’re fucked on Last Airbender. Arent we?
…and yes there were a lot of motherfuckers.
Hopefully going to see Kickass tomorrow. It’s indie nature means the arty farty cinema is showing it…less teenagers hopefully.
Good morning, Pan.

RE: Wil Ferrell – The man is abismal, but popular. His name on the cast is reason enough for me to skip the film, no matter how many people say the film is worth it. That being said: Stranger Than Fiction was completely worth all the tooth-pulling it took to get me to see it. Good flick. Everyone has a winner now and then.
RE: Adam Sandler – Not quite as abismal as Wil Ferrell. He at least has made multiple films worth watching, like Punch Drunk Love and The Wedding Singer. I like Waterboy in spite of myself. At best, though, he’s 50-50 hit or miss.
Cj: have you been the girl wearing the pointy ears?
M. Night Smalmylamarama has proved over and over that he knows nothing about film… but he can direct, so there’s hope for Air Bender… As long as he doesn’t edit the film…
Your love is…
ike finger nails on a chalkboard.
Your love is…
like throwing myself overboard,
A breakdown on a motorway,
A heart attack on Christmas day,
Like scaling a cliff
then falling off,
Like trying not to cough,
And I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I think I’ll just keep swimming
down, down, down
There’s no point in trying
to turn back now
I’m drowned
I’m drowned
Your love is…
like sand inside a bathing suit
Your love is…
a symphony with the sound on mute,
A letter to the wrong address,
Or red wine on a wedding dress,
Like broken bones
in my playing hand
Like trying to swallow
sand
And I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I think I’ll just keep swimming
down, down, down
There’s no point in trying
to reach dry ground
I’m drowned
I’m drowned
Your love is…
like one last breath of salty air
Your love is…
like a map that leads to nowhere,
A wine glass on a concrete floor,
The overuse of metaphor,
The straight ahead
in a sideways glance,
Like the misstep
in a dance,
And I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I didn’t see this one coming,
now I’m in too deep
I think I’ll just keep swimming
down
There’s no point
in turning ’round
I’m drowned
I’m drowned

M. Night Smalmylamarama: What a twist!
Wil Ferrell: Elf was really good too, but yes, Stranger Than Fiction was his best work. The man can actually act.
Adam Sandler: YOU CAN DO IT!
I love this band. I really really love her voice!
I’m going to see them again this Saturday night… They are playing early enough for me to bring the kids.

I like Wil Ferrell when I don’t want to think about what I’m watching.
matt damon…
Brendon Frasier Crane Technique
Waterboy is worth watching once. And Happy Gilmore is funny on multiple viewings, but I don’t care to see any other Adam Sandler movies. Will Farrel? I kinda liked Old School, but he wasn’t the main character.

Wow… This is the best editing I’ve ever seen. It’s so concise…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/echo_29/91551597/sizes/l/
Still not fully caught up, just needed to heap venom upon Adam Sandler (although Punch Drunk Love was excellent).
Will Ferrell is really funny, was consistently the best of his SNL generation, yet all of his movies suck. Except Stranger Than Fiction.
I Just found out last night, that the 1.3 Beta of Audacity allows you to playback at double speed… This will make editing SO MUCH EASIER
Is it true that Congress just makes laws designed to make use of common cents?
Caught up! That fandom chart is truly fantastic.
Dearspeak are an excellent band, I hope they find some success. Their song “Emerald City” is really, really good.
CP: VPodcast with Jay and Jack Ep1.4
the format seams to work better for lost
Lejon – How can Congress create legislation on something they themselves don’t have or have a clue about?
Ok I will shut up now.
I actually, kind of like Audacity, other than its lack of stability and its strange way of changing my mic’s input levels. On the topic of microphones I find it odd that the built in mic on my $35 Sansa Clip sounds way better than my hand held digital recorder, my PDA or any of my microphone headsets for the computer. It’s somewhat inconvient to record to the player then upload the waves into Audacity, but it still sounds better than any other way. I guess I need to spend the big bucks on a decent USB mic.
Speaking of which, I have something I need to email to Wolf. Wolf expect an email shortly.
Next up to digitize: some old David Bowie.
Although I liked Stranger than Fiction, thought the ending was a kopout…he should have died.
*sigh*
I really thought, when my husband said he “needed an accessory for his pedal”, it would be less… stringy.
*sigh
Damn WP put me in purgatory hell!!!!
I repeat:

When hubby said he “needed an accessory for his pedal”, I thought it would be less… stringy

I told him all these are his version of a mid-life crisis. The funny thing is, he totally agreed with me.

Love the Sarah Silverman video
Love the BSG stealthiness
Love that I spent a total of $97.00 and change on groceries today and my coupon savings were $99.00 and change.

Re: the Sarah Silverman video. There is actually a response video called I’m F’ing Ben Affleck that is quite funny as well.
oh, and I have a microphone in my hand.
be afraid.
Ah, here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_pFTAY7MF8
TEB, you met my wife. LOL
I did? I honestly don’t remember. She wasn’t at the mmmmmeetup (if so, I must have been drunker than I thought)
Flarglebraggingargle!
Audacity just crashed on me.
Hubby better hurry up and restring. The whole purpose of these purchases is for MY listening pleasure. I don’t care about him at this point.
Cj, please watch it with the harsh language.
Rhett brought the wife and kids to Denny’s! They are in the picture we took outside.
“Flarglebraggingargle!”? Can we hear that said on your recording?
She was at breakfast at Denny’s on Sunday.
(Hooray! We made it to the comment goal! WOOHOO!!! :biggrin: )
Ah yes! Now I remember. A strawberry blond! Very pretty. Cute kids, too!
Oops, Cj beat me to the punch.
I take that back, ditto’s wife is the strawberry blond. Rhett’s is just blond. Really, I was sober that day 🙂
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lovelongandprosper/4436415100/
Rhett’s wife is far left.
My Computer just came! My computer just came!!!!!
Now I definately can’t say anything about hubby’s purchases.
Rhettro: RE: your mic’s levels — Check your windows sounds settings. Look for Mic Boost… or something like it… turn it off…
TEB: Whoa… That’s a little too much information…
^LOL
Yeah Lejon, I’ll have to spend a little more time with it.
TEB will need some silicon cleaner. 😉
I’m thinking TEB isn’t paying attention to us anymore… She’s got a brand new harddrive wrapped in plastic to play with…
Almost as distracting as bubble wrap.
Speaking of distracting

Holy crap! The keyboard requires a double USB hookup. It’s a good thing my new system has 8 USB ports
2 USBs? TWO USBs? GREAT SCOTT!
At least you don’t have to accelerate it to 88 miles per hour!

Bears don’t dig on dancin’
Horses don’t mind being ridden
Dogs just love to do our biddin’
Mice find mazes quite relaxin’
Bubbles really cared for Michael Jackson
But bears don’t dig on dancing
Budgies like to play with bells
Lassie lifted kids from wells
Elephants like shifting logs
Dissection is fun for frogs
But bears don’t dig on dancing
Wee canaries mining coal
Ferrets bred to fit in holes
Dogs take blind folk into town
Kangaroos Jump Around.
Bears are surprisingly disinterested in dancing.
If you go into the woods today,
You’d better go in disguise.
If you go into the woods today,
Prepare for a big surprise.
Cos every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain because
Today’s the day the bears are having a rave.
All around are grumpy bears
Sitting there on plastic chairs
Hanging out in sullen pairs
They just don’t dig on dancin’
Bears just cannot keep the beat
Most of them have two left feet
They like fighting and eating meat,
And hibernating, lazy fuckers
They just don’t dig on dancing
You can hire the best DJ
They won’t boogie anyway
Bears all reckon dancing’s gay.
Homophobic hairy fuckers
Just don’t dig on dancin’.
Bears don’t dig on dancin’
They just don’t dig it.
Bears don’t dig on dancin’
Dolphins like autistic kiddies
Cats are good for aging biddies
Pigeons fly to bring you letters

Motherfuckers don’t dig on dancing.

I lied, there are actually 10 USB ports. Found two more hidden ones.
Bunny, your comment looks shinier.
Sweet mother of pearl! Is that a new computer you are posting with?
I’ve sent files to Jack. Audio files.
I’ve also sent one to Bunny that I didn’t send to Jack.

re: Robotech: I actually think Toby Maguire may be a pretty good pic. I don’t know who this Kasdan chap is, but he seems to have pretty good credentials. That all being said, it’s going to be a CG-fest, and will look like shite. What I wouldn’t give for some crazy kit-bashing fools to take that project over.
Vanamonde: Really? That’s hilarious!
My father told me the old text-adventure game Hitchhiker’s Guide had a segment in the game that basically went kind of what I posted, and you couldn’t win the game unless you were stubborn enough to get the program to allow you to go left. I’d kill someone.
Work was okay, had to take things slow, but work in general seems to be very good rehab.
I’ll have to catch up on e-mails tomorrow-ish.
I won’t lie. Take my geek card if you like, but I won’t lie. I just started watching BSG. I heard all the complaints about the ending, but I guess I don’t get it. The mini-series and first couple of episodes that’s all they talk about… God this, God that, let’s pray, God will lead the way, etc, etc. So why again is everyone all mad about the ending?
I’ll keep watching. Even though I know how it ends. It’s about the journey, not the destination. LOL
I’m picking out a thermos for you… not an ordinary thermos for you…
I feel the need to play Zork now.
“The mini-series and first couple of episodes that’s all they talk about… God this, God that, let’s pray, God will lead the way, etc, etc. So why again is everyone all mad about the ending?”
Dont even base on what the ending should have been on the mini-series and first few eps.
The journey kicks fucking ass. And thats all you need.
then I’m good 🙂
I’ll go one better. I’ve not seen one episode of the new series.
While I liked season 1 of BSG the best, the series as a whole was excellent. With the rest of the series so good, I don’t think it was possible for the writers to meet all the fanboy’s expectations.
The first few seasons of the new BSG were some of the best TV I’ve ever seen.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BSG. So much.
Matt Damon.
Youse have been busy, yo.
xox, bendybendybendy :mush:
BSG = the shit. it is one of the few shows I intend to get on a blu-ray box set (lost is the only other at this point) this show is all the journey and if the journey didn’t end so soon I would be happy for maybe 2 more seasons than it got. maybe Capricais my answer to the more season question
At that point might have gotten watered down but I could live with. I’m not sure how they could have strung it along that far but hay ER got 13 years, the Simpsons are still going, (insert other example here) made it that far.
Off to watch lost in 10 minutes!
CW: Caprica season finale
CD (doing): more work on the website project
CD (drinking): wine
LOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSST!!!!!!!
The package was what I thought the package was. And Im glad. Damn glad.
“maybe Capricais my answer to the more season question”
No. No reaps its not. Not by a goddamn sight.
I’ll suffer through a sucktastic journey in the hopes of an excellent destination. I will not suffer a terrible ending though. I will not add BSG to my collection because the ending didn’t provide the answers that were promised, it wasted time breaking characters, and was insulting to the series as a whole.
On the other hand, I pretend that almost all of Roswell season 3 does not exist because it is totally out of character for the show. I understand why the producers did what they did… but no.
Part of the reason I am savoring my way through Farscape is that I totally expect the ending to blow. And I just don’t want to spoil my good memories.
I had a laser pointer and the cat loved it, but I used it so much that the on/off button broke (and I couldn’t figure out how to open the casing to replace it.)
My wife bought a cheap little keychain laser pointer and… the cat would retrieve it. We don’t know where he drug it off to last.
Jack’s sign – I read that as, “If you see someone drowning: LOL, Call 911.”
RE: BSG – Awesome, Awesome, Questionable but good, Awesome… but that last half hour…Yeah, two weeks in an editing chamber with the shit they cut out, and I could fix that.
NS: The last ep of Season 4, which officially is the last ep of the series TOTALLY BLOWS…but not because it was bad. When you get to that point, you will see the “to be continued” notice display… but know this, IT WAS THE SERIES FINALLY. There was no indication that any more Farscape would be made at that point. So, I recommend holding off watching the follow up mini-series The Peacekeeper Wars for 6 months, in solidarity with those of us that had to put up with 18 months of waiting for anything on it.
and no, I’m not BITTER at all…
NS: You and everyone else in my office.
Yes. I shared.
I really wish I did not work for a publicly traded company. The stupid BS we go through to make the stats look good. Fah.
Lejon: You have mentioned that before, so I’m pretty sure that you are not bitter, not at all, about it. I was lucky enough to watch the first season and a half before losing cable. When I finally got cable again, Farscape AND TechTV were both gone.
At least I had Mythbusters still.

Though, I do think “The Plan” was much worse than the end of the series.
And, today my youngest turns 5.
I feel events are conspiring against my attempt to see Kick Ass today. Vandalism on the track means it’s going to be easier to reach the cinema than get back home.
Hmmmm!

So I managned to transfer all my files last night but, while apple found all my music/podcasts it didn’t transfer my playlists. I guess I’ll have to re-sort everything out.
I’m lovin’ the Windows Easy Transsfer. It did everything, including my outlook settings – just had to type in my passwords and away I went.
And, I’m back. Good hump-day morning, y’all.
Repairs on the track done, heading off to the cinema to see Kick Ass.
Have fun at the flicks, Van
“Though, I do think “The Plan” was much worse than the end of the series.”
Ed I own The Plan (got it for Xmas) so I was able to view it more than once. After a couple viewings its my opinion that its 30minutes of awesome, 30 minutes of ok, and 45 minutes of complete ass. That being said, The Plan didnt almost destroy my love of the series as the last 30 minutes of the show did.
Really, just watch The Plan for boobs and the awesome scenes of the Cylons blowing the hell out of the Colonies.
Plus, the gayness.
Have fun Van!

It’s as though middle-school-age children suddenly are wearing multi-thousand-dollar outfits and drinking booze. I must be approaching the same age as the sphinx.

There is something about 11th’s forehead that makes me think he is quite a bit older.

Well, I liked the lyric that Lo quoted. It was evocative. But I can’t say I like their music. I mistakenly thought I did and picked up one of their albums at a yard sale and was disappointed to find it was noise. I’m even more disappointed if the lyrics are usually good.
…
I wish the neighbor would cease vacuuming.
I can readily agree that Ministry is not for everyone. Lady J loaned a coworker their Filthpig album. She said she made it about halfway through the first song.
I think Psalm 69 is solid, as is The Land of Rape and Honey. Filthpig is good, but probably only for people who are already fans. However I bought another album years ago, it had the song “Over Your Shoulder” or something like that on it. I thought is was a big pile of steaming bird poop.

On a similar subject, we often talk about the high quality of some lyrics in Pearl Jam’s songs, which you can rarely make out. It’s disappointing.
Still can’t figure out why my home computer hates iTunes. When I play a video in iTunes (just like when I play a flash-based game) my processor goes up to 100% usage and I get LAG!

my youngest – 12
then my middle is 15…
my oldest is no longer in the house… so does that count?
I am old – I remember seeing Jaws in the theater (drive in).
JRMurdock – That’s a swell idea, but… then her husband might not offer to take me comic booking.
I remember seeing Saturday Night Fever in theaters. God I feel old now. But I don’t feel as old as WNDR as my oldest is 12 and my youngest is 12. 🙂 There can be only 1!!!
I remember reading Jaws, but wasn’t allowed to see it.
I’m the oldest in my house! RAWR! I conquer all! BWAAAA!

Bloody hell, Wolf! I had no idea.
My eldest is 14. And I was a baby when Star Wars came out.
I remember walking through a mall with my folks. I saw a sign offering the movie “Staying Alive” in a cinema. I said I wanted to watch it, clearly just getting into violence. I was told it wasn’t the genre of movie I thought it was. I assumed they were lying.

Wolfie, that means you became a father at 15? You are a wolf . . .
I think I’d rather be engulfed in flames than take an ice bath.
As someone that has been burned, I’d rather take an ice bath.

Yep. I have a couple interesting scars from a house iron. Probably should be a dumb-ass memory, but I was 3 or 4. I had some other, less severe, burns. I’m not afraid of fire, but I do respect how much that shit hurts.
ditto: Wow. I had a scar from a hot cookie sheet (natch). I must’ve been around two or three.
EssBee you are to kind. I was a bit older when the oldest was born…
FYI – It took almost four years for the number of episodes of Wander Radio to be larger than my age. (Although that happened recently…)
Contrary to popular opinion, my father is still older than I am.

I remember looking at it burning on my hand and freaking out and WIPING it off and watching it spread. Being 8 I didn’t think to rub it in the dirt or anything. NOOOO I rubbed it on my pants :))

What’s next?
“Blink” is a great book that I read a year or two ago. In it, there was a discussion about not only the production of music, but the fact that corporate radio uses a *formula* to determine whether a song should be a hit or not, and how often the song should be placed into the rotation. The interesting thing is that there was an artist that was highly followed on the web and highly requested on MTV and yet the formula hated him. So, he never got any airplay.
