Sorry to wake you, Van.

Weird in that like the portrayal of many biblical dramatisations, it treats the myth as literally true…
Zeus: Where are you now?
In a wine bar in California with Dionysus partying. The locals just need keep him away from the livestock.
According to the Percy Jackson novels he’s at the top of the Empire State Building.
Hey Pan
I never noticed before but shouldn’t there be an apostrophe in “Jack Mangans Deadpan”? I’m going to put one in the show notes just to be contrary.
Should we start calling you Mary?
No, that’s all right.
Is it just me, or does the word “vagina” come to mind for anyone else instead of “podcast” in this episode’s intro?
That’s just you.

A tip I just read:
To unlock all the levels, enter this in the URL bar:
javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'3'); i++; } window.location.reload();
To re-lock them enter this:
javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'-1'); i++; } window.location.reload();

Cj and I, in an e-mail, threatened to tie Jack down and use him for our own purposes. Jack was strangely quiet on the subject. I take silence as unspoken approval :happy:
We’re off to Denver in the rain today! Bwahaha.
Come see me!
Actually I cant remember the last time its rained this long here. For this long. Here.
Need to catch up on the comments. It’s been a busy day so far.
CP: a song Jack doesn’t like. You can guess what it is. 😉
I haven’t watched any of Fringe yet. That will be one of the projects this summer.
Its SOOOO good!!!! But season 1 is near awful. Just bear thru it… you wont regret it. That, or I can just tell you the few essential season 1 eps to watch. Basically they switched gears beginning second season and havent looked back.
Yeah, I knew that. At the time, I had no interest in seeing what appeared to be an X-Files knock-off. And since it didn’t get better until episode 8–or thereabouts–I wasn’t interested in getting invested in a show that was likely to be canceled.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Which isn’t an uncommon state of affairs. 🙂
Its more common than the Perpetual State of Motion…

Joe: Thank you for your disaster summary.
Your welcome.
Why do I always seem like such a downer?
If I ever get to come to a mmmmeetup, it must be all booze and giggles.
You *aren’t* a downer. Period.
If you come to a mmmmmeetup we’ll be making sure *you* are the one giggling over booze. 😉
If downer = a person with a real life going thru real stuff, then yes you are a downer. And so are we all.
Why won’t my iPad accept my emailset up? Van, what am I doing wrong?

It was actually a rhetorical question, Van. I’ll figure it out. I’m a smart cookie :cheerful:
Cool 🙂
Rhetorical questions are always easy to answer…
To the anonymous idiot in the bathroom: Really? You are going to talk to your daughter while in a stall? Really? It’s that important to be on the phone at that time?
Oh thats the WORST

Good morning.
My son is officially a graduate of pre-k. He starts kindergarten in the fall.
In other news. I’m getting old.
I think you should all be here in June to celebrate the momentously biggest most important birthday of my lifetime.
Congrats, Cj!
Unfortunately, I’ve got too much going on in June right now: a wedding, Relay for Life, Family Reunion, among other things.
You guys crack me up! 🙂
For you new iPadders, do a search on the app store for ‘Rat on a Skateboard’, it’s free for a short time.

Ain’t it great? With Beanie Babies having been such a big hit I wonder what the market is for Crotch Poodles?
There’s many creams for it over the counter….

*brushes rich Folger’s(™) Crystals off his shoulder*
I knew there was a reason I hated drinking that crap.

While I’m fairly sure that “Real Steel” is just a predictable update of “Over The Top”, I’m starting to look forward to it. It has the potential to be a fun popcorn flick.
Novella? pah! it’s a NOVEL!
I heard it was only a short story.
Never mind the quality feel the width…
That’s what she said. 😉
This has win written all over it
Is there really a new arm-wrestling movie?
Boxing, in this case. With robots.
You mean they already announced transformers 4?
when ditto said popcorn flick, I thought it was about farming
It is based on a Richard Matheson story though:

Whether it’s a Bladerunner or Slaughterhouse 5..only time will tell
Does it have Shia?
that’s all that matters to me.
Jack accused us of cheating Cj, my skin is thick enough not to be offended.
Cheating? Huh?
On palooza voting.
Ok, does anybody know the name of this film.
Must be from the 70’s. Possibly set in a convent or church, where the first murder happens in a baptism font, any ideas?
That was your impossible question for the day.
Italian?
Possibly Canadian or a US TV movie.
I’m pretty sure that was the 1970 film “Baptism by FIRE!”
I’m so confused.

no no … I don’t mean it!

Just came back from a walk. The deer were out in the park today. It was nice.
Need to be up at 5am tomorrow..ugh.
I don’t know what the issue is. I’m up at 5am every morning… Of course I’m in bed by 9pm too.
I’ve never got the gnack of an early night, if I went to bed at 9pm I would wake up at 3am…
LOL, Rhettro! That picture . . .

Nah, she took the photos and then immediately started laughing.
Yep, that’s better . . .

Oh yeah. Everything great has humble beginnings.
True, but you can see hints. Plus it is cool to see Angus had the uniform from the start. 🙂
Great find!
Sounds like they thought they were Kiss at the time.
P.S. Ellie Goulding FTW
I assume you saw her gyrating in that little black leather number on SNL?
Saw? Yes. Also I needed a new pair of pants.
You nasty. And I knew you’d say that.
Surely you cant blame me.
No blame!

Ok peeps! You know you want it, it’s movie time!
Today’s movie is, Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic
The DVR write up: this animated take on the epic poem follows Dante as he travels through the nine circles of he’ll in order to save his true love, Beatrice, from Satan’s clutches
Let’s go over the rules since it’s been awhile.
Don’t expect grand spelling, especially since I’m doing this on the iPad and we all know how autocorrect
Expect lots and lots of spoilers
If WordPress lives up to it’s usual silliness, there will be an extended version of this PBP once Jack releases the comments
Pressing play…
This film contains coarse language, nudity, and violence. I like it already
Wait… What? In association with EA Games and Visceral games? Ok, now I’m really courious
Obviously done for the game that came out a couple of years ago
The narrator.speaks…
Chrome ad:
http://www.afterellen.com/TV/google-chrome-ad-campaign-promises-it-gets-better
You know, Dante’s inferno is one of the few books I havent read. The words of the narrator sound correct, though
All is dark and still
Oh my god, look at all the blood and guts
Nakid boob!
that didn’t take long
Full frontal ghost nudity
That’s just evil
The devil is bald. *nudges Van and Alvie*
bald guys aren’t so bad
*rubs bald head*
Freak.
Heh!
Dante, save me!
Ow, they’re sewing ribbon on him
Now he did it
More nadedness
Virgil the guide
Naked Gouls are just wrong
Monkey bats? In he’ll, everything is possible
He killed chiron. Now who’s going to ferry the boat
Can anyone hear me?!
He’ll has pleasures, too
Burning Beatrice
I took two courses on the Divine Comedy. Very interesting stuff.
I hope I never go to limbo. Getting under that stick is a he’ll unto itself
Goddanmit apple! Hell is not he’ll, no matter how much you may want it!
Creepy babies
The is only one philosophy in the inferno
So “he’ll” is like redneck hell, right?
This movie actually does have a video game feel. Especially the battles
The dammed are fleeing
Circle two
Circle two looks like fun
Ok I take that back. Now it’s just gross
Dante’s sinning
Circle three
That is not Cerberus, no matter what they say
In the belly of Cerberus
Wow, that cross can do anything
Circle four
Cool looking machinery
Ewwww. Gross
Flashback
I have to admit, ghoul daddy is gross like everything else in this movie
Gold plated daddy
We sure see Beatrice without clothes a lot
That’s three points on a 10 point rating system right there.
Circle five
Dante’s a bully
Riding on a giamt’s head
City of dis
The devil announce his upcoming nuptials
Circle six
The miniature
That is the strings looking minatsur
Circle seven
What the he’ll is that? I think it’s suppose to be a centaur bot who knows *shrug*
FTW: http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/games/e7e0/?cpg=wnrss
Think geek has all the best toys
even when they are completely useless they are still the best.
Circle eight
They’re coming fast a furious now
Freeing mommy
Wait… Apparently we’re still in circle seven. The movie’s playing wih my mind
Priests lie. *shrug*. Go figure
Dante’s such a badass

Holy 4x4xfucked!
Ah, now circle eight

Can you believe a traitor?
He’s such a Nimrod
Lucifer has button eyes
Bait beatrice
Reese. He’s liking blood
Ok, that last comment is way off. It should have been:
Ewwww. He’s puking blood
LOL! When I first read that autocorrected comment, I thought one of the demons was named Reese. 😆
That’s the Peanut Butter demon.
Don’t repent!
Dante and naked Beatrice, together at last
It was an ok movie. Like I said, did have a video game feel but that’s ok, everybody here should know I enjoy me some video games
Yea, Video games!!!!!

Mark Hamill was the voice of one of the characters. Cool
Yea, Mark Hamill. You keep getting those paying gigs, yo!
I’m not even going to try catching up. At this point, I can be considered one of those intermittently sighted objects. Like Haley’s Comet, or Natalie Portman’s Breasts.
Speaking of not seeing Natalie Portman’s breasts, I went to see Thor last night.
I kind of liked it.
Not seeing NP boobs was a real letdown for you?
Lejon is here! Drink your Kool-Aid and put on your Nikes!!
You might want to put your Nikes on first otherwise you risk not getting them on at all.
I would just like to say, the rumors of strychnine in the Kool-Aid are mostly false, and the Nikes are still pretty goddesses, but very small, and not really worth mentioning, but you can swat them with a :pan: and not get into much trouble.
This might annoy Lo, but the bassist from Sick Puppies reminds me a lot of LynZ.
Emma is hot unto herself…
Yep.
She needs to find a better band tho… 🙂
There we go! 🙂

And vulgar.
Mother Fucker that pisses me off! Capitalizing on that shit faster than Cthulhu can turn you into a stark raving madman.
The capitalizing alone doesn’t so much bother me, but taking the name of something they had NOTHING to do with and claiming it as something that only they can make money off of is just plain repulsive.
Well the pork shoulder smells great, but I wish I’d cooked it another hour. I’m going in.

Should I, or should I not, download the new Stevie Nicks album? I don’t have big hopes for this one . . .
Is her new single called “Edge of 67”?
:drevil:
LOL
LOL! 😀
Little story about that: The lead guitarist for one of the local country music groups I follow celebrated a birthday recently, and for his birthday, he was allowed to choose two songs for the band to learn and play. “Edge of Seventeen” was one of them. (The other was an instrumental.) At the performance, the lead singers (both women) apologized for the fact that they had to read off of lead sheets because there were just so darn many lyrics that they hadn’t had time to memorize them all. They gave an absolutely FANTASTIC performance of the song, though.
I think you should BAAAAAAA! BAAAA!

Hi Deadpan!
So I have been so busy that I didn’t do much work on this but I am in the Path to Progress walk tomorrow for the American Brain tumor Association.
I didn’t go hardcore into finding donations. I am just taking donations from family, and Hugh and I, with me.
But its a great cause, they were and still are an amazing organization that helped Hugh and I tremendously. It was through them we found the clinical trial that saved Hughs life. They do incredible, amazing work.
I didn’t make a page for my walk or anything, this is just personal This is just me wanting to walk for Hugh and for his recovery. But I owe it to the ABTA to ask for donations.
If anyone could help at all, it is a really important cause, and they are an amazing organization. Brain tumors are the cancer they know the least about. It is also quickly becoming one of the top cancers that are killing children. If you could of seen the kids in the same treatment program as Hugh.
This is the link just to donate to the organization itself.
http://www.abta.org/Donate/54
The event is tomorrow and I don’t know how long they keep up the donate to the event link, but here it is:
https://secure2.convio.net/abta/site/Donation2?idb=1109217461&df_id=2940&FR_ID=1840&PROXY_ID=1840&PROXY_TYPE=21&2940.donation=form1
thank you!!!
Good luck with the walk tomorrow hugh-n-dre!
Yea hugh-n-dre !
Glad to help.
Glad to see you back on your feet!
Thanks peeps! 🙂 the walk was awesome. I did the walk on my own, Hugh isn’t up for a 5k yet, next year he wants to do it.
Met amazing people along the way. Talked with and photographed so many people. Going to sit here now and sort through my photos. By the end of the walk I had to introduce like 100 people to Hugh :). The outpouring of excitement for his story was amazing. I even met a little girl who was in the same clinical trial Hugh was in, with equally amazing success. Took a great picture of her with Hugh I need to find.
I am so far behind. I’m still working on last week’s comments.
Belated congratulations on your anniversary Ess & Sly Bees.
Thank ya!
The interview with Linda Perry is mildly irritating. It felt disrespectful, to me, asking about a dead relationship and then compounding it by asking about REALLY old history as if it were current. I would’ve gotten grumpy with him at that point, so kudos to Linda for staying cool.

Still loving this show.

Van, I haven’t heard you talk about this one – what is it?

Although tortured soul solving crimes is hardly new, this one has got under my skin.

In pointless news I finally updated to Firefox 4. Why do programmers feel the need to rearrange the interface every couple of years? It screws with my mind relearning everything, it’s like going out and switching all the qwerty keyboards to dvorak.

Just got back from running one of our Relay for Life fundraisers. We did pretty well, though we still need to sell off the rest of the stuff. All in all, it was a good, but busy day.
Very admirable, ditto! What stuff?
Garage sale, bake sale, and book sale. Lots and lots of books.

Well, we got caught up with Harry Potter tonight. I must admit, I had forgotten a lot of the details from the last book. Still, the movie, while very very long, seemed to have a certain soulessness to it. While the actors are all competent enough, the movie just doesn’t seem as compelling to me as the book did. Though, this seems to be something the whole movie series has suffered from for me.
I believe the movie series is more enjoyable when you haven’t read the books. I agree completely with what you said here. The books have a depth that all of the movies lacked.
ditto! 🙂
I stopped watching after the 4th movie, I think.

Hello, nurse!
My scifi viewing update:
Hugh and I made the grave error last night of trying to watch Green Hornet. The most unlikable superhero EVER. It was awful. Watched about half of it and turned it off.
Current season of Dr Who gets a big fat: EH
There is something missing there, plus seriously how many times does Rory have to come to the brink of death?
While we were in San Fran, Hugh’s brother purchased one of those Roku streaming players. Do you all know about these? I am pretty impressed with it actually.
hope everyone is having a good weekend
I enjoyed the Gaiman episode, even if the plot was formulaic, the banter between the TARDIS in human form and the Doctor was fun.
Yep. It made up for the previous episode.
It was better … but still something missing.
Like K-9? Tom Baker?

i spent all afternoon brewing beer, only to choose a wine to go with the spaghetti I’m making tonight.
What were we brewing?
Dubbel, my 2nd attempt. The first attempt failed when a temp drop caused my yeast to crash prematurely and I couldn’t get ’em working again.
mmmmmm … fill my eyes, with that Dubbel vision!
Just got to watch the TARDIS incarnate episode tonight. While I once scorned the super silliness that Dr. Who brings to the table so often, of late I’ve come to embrace it and appreciate the stories that they turn into.
This was was silly and poignant at the same time.

Well he did use incarnate, that sort of word usage has a way of turning heads…
Alright, finally did my recording to pay my hockey gambling debt. Probably won’t make your ears bleed, but may put you to sleep.
CW: Farscape ep 1
2 things really bug me about the beginning.
1. Slingshot maneuver: NASA has been using this trick for decades, so why the hell did he need to test it.
2. Why was he not in spacesuit. Considering the size of his capsule and that it was a prototype he should be eearing more than a jumpsuit and football helmet.

Hey Pan
Slept in this morning, then did a bunch of errands. Now I guess it’s time to do some actual work.
I’m trying to decide if I was insulted or complimented this weekend. I had a programming meeting yesterday. I put out cookies for everybody. One of the girls asked where I bought my cookies because she was going shopping and figured she’d pick some up while out.
Bought!!!! BOUGHT!!!! Really? I assumed everybody knew me well enough to know I don’t buy cookies. So should I be insulted because my cookies tasted store bought or not?
hmmmm.
TEB: I think you should feel flattered that she liked your cookies that much. I also think you should feel sorry for her since she can’t tell the difference.

Ebert hasnt been credible for over a decade. He gave Thor 1 1/2 stars for fucks sake. To me, Thor was the best Marvel film since the first Iron Man – by far.
I know. He loved Boob Raider. He gave it 3 stars.

I want it to be Christmas.
Logically, Christmas should be in May anyway.
Because the whole Christmas thing has always been based on logic *rolls eyes*
Actually, it has… from a Catholic perspective.
Logically, if you want to convert a bunch of non-Christians to Christianity, you make a holiday near enough to another major calendar event… oh, I don’t know, like the Winter Solstice… and you pimp up just how your god is better than whatever anyone else is worshipping at the moment, and back it up with heavy armies with swords. Works like a charm. Very logical… from a certain point of view.

Depending on how generous DirecTV is feeling, I might get to catch up with Game of Thrones this summer. Looks like they are offering three months of the movies channels for free as part of the move program. I may have HBO come June.
Without spoiling the books, can I guess that the HBO version has merged some characters together? With as big as Martin’s cast is in the books, it seems they’d have to cull some out and merge some together.
I’m about four hours of audio away from finishing the fourth book. This one has been a struggle, though not so much for the narrator as for the massive amounts of wheel spinning.
Ed, not exactly merged characters together, no. We’ll have to skype when you watch.

EssBee, yes! That AGD is beyond hilarious. Colbert and Carrell FTW.
Hmmm, I may buy my first ebook on the iBooks store today.
I’d advise you to sit as I ponder this.
Why from iBooks instead of [insert random alternative]?
The book is a collection of short stories and only available on the Kindle, Nook, or iBooks stores.
Don’t own a kindle or Nook (yes I know they have apps for IOS devices), so iBooks it is.
I installed the free Kindle software for PC on my laptop so I could buy a copy of “Blood Is Red.” I like both the short story collection and the software so far. My only complaint is that scrolling down shows the next page and hides all of the text from the previous page; you can’t display arbitrary areas of the text, like in Word.

The people who run Interzone seem to have a thing for JS at the moment, and I’ve enjoyed JS stories I’ve read in INTERZONE.
Now I’m no Apple fan boy, but I tend to read ebooks on my phone rather than iPad, and iBooks for me has the best way of displaying the text on the small screen.

Ditto sings Rocky Theme – Gonna Fly Now (optional)
Energizer Bunny Sings Boston’s – Don’t Look Back – Done!!
Lost Ralph sings Aerosmith – Lightning Strikes
Nobody had New York so nobody sings for Lo Pan.

Nomad Scry sings Mel C and Bryan Adams – When You’re Gone
Nobody had Philadelphia so they don’t have to sing
Rhettro Sings Grateful Dead – Estimated Prophet
Third round still going on.

The number of cameras was awesome.
The worsted part is it actually wasn’t a slow news day. The morons in my town think we care about this. Way more important things didn’t even make the paper. When that McDonald’s was re-built he was interviewed and when he hit some large number of days in a row he was front page news. The art show and band concert at the high school where more important and they didn’t make the paper.

Well, DirecTv loves us. As part of the “please don’t leave us when you move to a new home” program, we’ve got HBO comped for the next three months. We’ve recorded all the Game of Thrones episodes that have aired thanks to the On Demand connection. But, since we have to get the kids well to sleep before watching, it will probably take us a week or so to get caught up.
