Why, oh why do people keep saying that the single picture of Anne Hathaway reveals anything about the new catwoman costume. You can’t even see the damn thing. I can see the arms and a part of her leg. How the hell am I supposed to know what that costume looks like.
What’s not so blatantly obvious … what if the kids in question, while wearing school identifying clothing (like a uniform) and while clearly on school property, take pictures of themselves in lewd or compromising poses … but post those pictures after hours on a non-school social network.
That happened locally and I applaud the school for banning them from school activities for doing this. In effect … these kids were publically representing the school while being douche bags… and if the school chooses not to be publically represented by douche bags I think they should have that right.
Thanks MSN.com, but I’m probably going to skip your article entitled “Child sticks LEGO piece up nose”.
I think today “FTW” stand for “F**k TumbleWeeds!”
Want me to make some noise?

What is that SMELL?!
Jani Lane’s dead.

Hi.
Hola.
Buy one get one free for Minecraft accounts this weekend
I haven’t really looked at Minecraft, though I’ve heard a lot about it. So I went to check it out and watched the beginning tutorial. Looks like way too much work!
it’s kinda like playing LEGOs with an RPG element in that you actually have to get the materials together and fight monsters.
I like the creative aspects combined with the challenge of getting everything together. Although some would say I’ve gotten carried away.
:ftb: yelled at me. I shall now go cry in the corner.
*growls at :FTB: *
Ironic that our beer enthusiast has become a growler?
must be because I’m empty of beer.
Almost time for me to RT Lo Pan’s *sigh*.
Is “penultimate” the word of the month? I’m sure I’ve never seen it before August and now I’ve observed about five different people using it. Is it a real english word? Has it only been recently invented?
It’s been around for a long time, though I think most people probably use it incorrectly. I know I did many years ago.
You’ll really appreciate the word when DP episode 287 is released.
When a shuttle meets a shuttle coming through the rye
Great find, Ed. That would be the penultimate meeting of those two ships.
It looks like we’ll be hitching rides with the Russians and maybe any other country whose space program matters more to them than their wealthiest citizens’ shopping sprees.
See, I went political, and that was the penultimate comment of the afternoon.
So I guess this is the ultimate comment, I better make it worth while…
Speaking of which … I just got a two page letter from Mitt Romney asking for money so he can be our next President. He didn’t say one thing in the letter about why he is more qualified then any of the other candidates. Nor did he give ANY ideas for what he would do to fix the economy. Just two pages of how evil Obama is.
The Amy/Jack/Rhettro version of the Portal song sounds even better at x2 playback speed.
I’ll get my coat..
RE: Closing song
You know, when the “Still Alive” song started, I was expecting Jack to cut in after a few seconds with another “No, that’s not it”. Then, as I continued listening, the idea started forming in my mind that “You know, that kinda sounds like Amy Bowen singing….” and then I was certain. And then a smile crept across my face as another thought formed “Awesome”
Nice job to all involved in the “Still Alive” project.
Awwww! 🙂 Thank you so much, Ed!
Thanks Ed, that was the reaction I was hoping for. Amy did a great job didn’t she?
Yup.
Oh and the 2x comment wasn’t an insult, I did enjoy listening at twice the playback speed.
So wait, are you moving to Texas? Or just training in Texas and staying in oklahoma?
I will be in Texas until December. Then back to a different part of Oklahoma.
ok this weeks episode doesn’t want to download 🙁

Lejon: cathullu, or how do you fucking spell that word? cthulhu.
Dear Deadpan
I know I probably just lost many street cred points for not being able to spell cthulhu without Mr google’s help.
But please forgive me
You must know after years of reading my comments that I have a very basic knowledge of writing and spelting any words korrectly, as well as a laughably minute knowledge of punctuation and how it should be used in a sentence.
humbly yours

ok lets try that again

Thank you Jack and Co for another episode of pure Deadpan awesomeness.
I bask in its glory and know that I am not worthy
Hugh sez: we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy
be safe, and remember to practice random acts of kindness
I am unworthy of such awesome PBP.
Yes, yes you are.
Gosh darnit, people like you!
Well, by PBP, I mean Play-By-Play, not Pinheads Blasting Pantera or Partners Biting Pillows.
Pink Beer Pourers?
Partial Beer Pints :cwy:
And speaking of biting, there’s really nothing to recommend about Cowboys and Aliens. Not clever, not fun, not good. I’m glad the previous “meh” reviews had helped to lower my expectations.
I enjoyed the movie and thought it was predictable, but still pretty fun.
You’re just full of humbugness.
You should spend more time with Larry the Cable Guy…
America’s favorite bigot?
I get to agree with Jack.
I still say they spent their whole budget hiring big named actors and a Summer Glau look-a-like (couldn’t they have just hired Summer?)and had no money left for the little things … like a script … or editing.
My real disappointment is that, as “mindless summer fun” films go, I think it could have been a really good movie. At least as good as Iron Man.
But, but, it has Harrison Ford in it. That makes it mandatory viewing for me. (Haven’t seen it yet)
Sink the pink. It’s all the fashion.
Drink the drink. It’s old fashioned.
This is why I love you!!!!!
You know which percentage you’ll be in, don’t bother lying to yourself
A little behind and just listened to this episode this morning. The Portal song was amazing! Well done!
Went to the movies yesterday and saw Harry Potter. I couldn’t find the theater (it was in theater 12, and I saw 11 and 13, but no 12). I felt like I was at the train station.
Also saw Rise of Planet of the Apes. Really enjoyed it, but also realized I was missing a lot of in jokes because I never saw the originals. So watched the original Planet of the Apes on Amazon video when I got home.
A classic ending.
Well, I knew the story (and the ending) but had never actually seen it. I got a few references from the new movie, like “Bright Eyes”, “it’s a mad house” and “get your paws off me, you damn dirty ape!” And of course, the Statue of Liberty. But I knew that one already.
Fairly expensive trip to the ABC store, but came away with a good haul. Over the next few days I will be drinking:
Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout (because I’ve heard it hyped here so much)
Billy’s Chilies (made with five different kinds of fresh chili peppers)
Dogfish Head Midas Touch (handcrafted ancient ale with barley, honey, white muscat grapes and saffron)
Alexander Keith’s Nova Scotia Style Brown Ale
Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot (Barley-wine Style Ale)
Highland Brewing Company Gaelic Ale
The Yeti is real good, UH. But the Oak Aged Yeti is the true holy grail.
Does the Blithering Idiot turn you into just that? Must find.
Midas Touch is an interesting beer, and it really depends on your tastes in beer whether or not you enjoy it.
Don’t most barleywines turn you into a blithering idiot, at least after a couple of bottle…
What they’ve said, plus I’ve liked everything I’ve had from Alexander Keith’s, but I’ve not had their brown. I’m very sad I can’t get any down here.
“I’m very sad I can’t get any down here.”
Down-town!

Realized I’m being drained by all the negativity around me and in the world. Most of it, I can’t do anything about. So for at least one day, I am not watching/reading news about the economy or wars, I’m not reading political posts, I’m looking for the good and uplifting. Maybe I’m burying my head a bit in the sand, but the daily stress of worry about things I have no control over is unhealthy. Give me some positive stuff, guys!
You are smart. 🙂
I like that kind of positive statement! 🙂
We aim to please.
Also, listen to happy music. Perhaps, TMBG or JoCo?
I’ve had “Still Alive” in my head all morning…
Not to be confused with “Stayin’ Alive”
Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Stayin’ Aliiiiiiiiiiiive
*cough*
You aim too, please.
My nickname on Facebook is Eeyore, so you are out of luck with the positive from me.
On the other hand I enjoyed ‘Rise of the Planet Of the Apes’, rather old fashioned as scifi movies go, but still enjoyable.
I enjoyed it too. Is it weird that I had a bit of a crush on Caesar? They did make him look rather human…

In a couple of hours I’m taking poor hubby to the dentist to get a crown. I think I’ll call him “king” for today :cheerful:
Gee, I come back and everybody leaves. Maybe it’s my breath?
Steal a toothbrush from the dentist just in case.
I’m sure everyone is just hungover from the musical links yesterday.
Good Morning Pannites.
So far no construction outside but somebody left a barbecue grill in the parking lot.
So…. how do you keep your motivation up when you know that your “lay off date” is two weeks away? Any suggestions?
Ugh! *hugs*
Time on the DB board always makes me smile :happy:
None, it won’t be long now.
Sorry.
Been through that.
I know I tried to focus on spending what time I could, getting prepped for the job search. Making resume’, searching the net for possible openings and such.
Of course I had management that allowed such things.
My department also took things into our own hands. Everyone in the company knew this was coming and we watched others getting picked-off. My group was small and basically couldn’t do our job with any less personnel then we had … so we sat down and figured out how long it would take to finish all projects that were underway … and then had our dept. manager go to the V.P. and say, “Hey, how about laying us all off during the week of (can’t remember the date).
The VP was stunned. This had ever happened.
I have to say there was some satisfaction in taking ones fate into one’s own hands. It was also a great relief not worrying about “when” they were coming for you.
Thank you all. Yeah, I’ve known for a month now. I’ve reached the point of I’m ready to move on, just trying to find the next opportunity. While they are open to giving me time to conduct interviews etc, I’m in a pretty open floor plan (literally six people can see my computer screen at any time) and can’t spend all day on the boards. They are also mixed on what they give me to work on since they don’t want to give me anything important and I am growing bored with what I do have.
For those who may remember, I had to get my Boo a car as she was in an accident and her’s was written off. In a, I don’t know how it happened moment, her good used car turned into us getting a new car instead. We pick it up this afternoon. Boo will get hubby’s old car.

My experiment with focusing on positive news and avoiding negative news yesterday seems to have worked and I’m feeling much better today. I know you can’t (and shouldn’t) ignore all the negative stuff, but making sure positive gets equal billing is important. The world doesn’t completely suck.
Makes me kind of nervous when my sisters dog wants to lick my face.
Very cool! And I love “Project Desdemina”. I want to start a movement! It’s simple, just focus on positive things in your life and the world to help offset all the attention given to the negative.
Yep. And when that doesn’t work… divide tasks into baby steps. You’ll find you’ll feel better about getting things done when you can see the progress.
I already do that a LOT. I’m an obsessive list maker and it’s really funny how much I will break down things just so I get to cross stuff off the list more often!
So another 10 minutes of searching and I couldn’t turn up anything else … so I have pulled out the emergency page of dogs swimming.
*sigh*
What I felt was Penn’s over arching point of that piece seems to be lost on those that have posted comments.
He’s not opposed to helping people. He’s not even opposed to our government helping people. He’s just plainly stating that he doesn’t know what the best way to do that is and that he doesn’t believe any, single other person does either.
There need to be electronic sensors in the puck and embedded beneath the goal line ice, only used in situations of uncertainty. The new green line will help, but it’s not enough.
Thank you!
That is immediately what sprang into my mind. This is old tech. You have what is basically a digitizing tablet under the ice in the goal and you put a sensor in the puck. Then you’d have the exact path of where the puck traveled in the net.
…and this week it applies to me, 3 hours to go and I’m off for the weekend.
How far off?
..and fingers crossed and rabbit feet touched, but the relative with possible bad news, has been told that it may have been a blip and not to worry.

If all goes well, we might have a movie play by play this afternoon. Not sure what’s next in my que but we all know, it’ll be great :cheerful:
Poor hubby was raving against the weather last night. We picked up his new car in the afternoon and by bed time it was hailing. We don’t have a garage. He was not a happy camper. It wasn’t really bad hail. I think the car will be fine. I don’t know though, he left for work before I woke up. Damn cat wouldn’t let me sleep last night.
You had quite the day yesterday TEB. A new crown and a new car! How’d you get so lucky? 😀
😆
The convention I was working on this year, and occurred last weekend. Those of you in the know will be happy to hear I sent an e-mail to the group telling them I’m taking a more passive role this year. Hopefully I’ll be able to stick to it. 😉
I love the Underworld Series. Too bad we’re in different states, I’d totally go with you.
Yeah. My hubby loves these movies too but I think it’s for a different reason than me *cough*
They are lots of fun. 🙂
I have to admit, I’ll probably go see it too. The Underworld series being one of my guilty pleasures.
Underworld and Resident evil series are tied for mine as well. Throw in Ultraviolet… really anything with swords and leather and girls
I found them rather boring, even KB in those clothes couldn’t save it for me.
They were a lot of things, but I dont think boring is one of em.
Sexy girls undulating in tight, shiny black leather and occasionally firing automatic weapons.
I’m going to submit that as a screen play.
That’s it. 110 minutes of just that!
I’ll bet it would make a mint. Heck, I’d own a copy.
Well, I’m off to take my Boo for lunch. I’m also telling her she doesn’t get any choice in what kind of car will replace her dead one. She’s getting a 2005 Echo whether she likes it or not.
Watch this right now immediately without delay right goddamn now now now.
“Of course I can understand you… I’m Leonard Nimoy”
I need help pan…. So our assignment is very similar to what was done here recently. “Instead of the traditional short anecdote about your favorite song, or what it means to you, I’d like to know what you want your intro music to be. In the same way the President gets ‘Hail to the Chief’ whenever he walks on stage, or a ball player gets some kind of rock music when he steps up to the plate. We are going to have Toastmasters intro music. It can be a song that gets you pumped up before a game, or you can use it to set the mood of the audience, whatever you would like played while you walking up to the podium. Keep in mind that it will only be a 10 sec portion of the song, so if there is something specific, please let me know.”
I have to think of my theme song, what is yours?
I’ll give you 3 guesses 🙂
MORE COW BELL!
My theme song chose me. Just a small town girl Livin’ in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
I’m a one of a kind. There is nothing I associate with myself
Got me a rock’n roll band, IT’S A FREE FOR ALL!
Ok peeps, you know what time it is. It’s movie time!
The opening to the song “Next In Line”. Although the song is way more awesome than I am, so probably false advertising.
It will not make sence unless you’ve either seen the movie or are watching it with me.
Spoilers are a given
Spelling will be wrong – especially when the iPad’s auto correct takes over
Also, because of stupid WordPress, there will be an extended version once Jack releases the comment.
Ok, now…
This movie is so great, the DVR has given no write up whatsoever. It was one of e few ones I actually check out imdb before I started
Pushing play now
This movie is rated 18A. It has the perfect trifecta of a b movie. Nudity, coarse language and violence. Woohoo!

Btw. It wasn’t a euphasism. She really has an accordion
^Weird Al approves.
Flashback
The friend is a bitch
Who’s driving the creepy car? He shouldn’t be there.
I’m sorry I wrote on you face so I’m going to apologize by writing sorry on your forehead. Huh?
Jogging through the forest
Another flashback
It all started with shellfish…
Oh oh. The mini snakes are spreading
The old man is lecturing
Bang!
Newspaper clipping about Kuttyhunk
These flashbacks are becoming tedious
What do you mean I can’t sell the land?
The old man is a bastard
Secrete notes
Bullsnit!
It’s not you, it’s me.
If you tread water until you see a bird, you can have me
Aaahhhhh! Parasite

Creepy clown doll

They’re being followed
Yuck again

Euphemism this time?
Nope, sorry
She’s possessed
He is better, stronger, faster… The bionic parasite!
His bionic ear is working
He lost his parasite. Will he go back to normal?
Ok, so the parasite has fresh meat
Bar
Mmmm, fresh meat, thinks the blond
Wait, why aren’t they all infected? 20 years and now they come out of hiding? I’m confused
Fight!
Now his super speed kicks in
Now using his bionic legs
If a super stron guy does a woman, will it kill her?
Listening to it now, her accent is rather obvious..doh!
Van has been sucked into the InterUtubes.
Back in Phoenix! Fun was had, friends were visited, delicious food was consumed, and my brain was mushed with work and work information
Yay! welcome back.
and as promised I left it just the same as when you departed.
I may have asked this before. My Apple earbuds are failing again (volume getting lower and lower in right bud). Any recommendations for a earbuds/mic combination that would work with an iPhone4/iPad.
Who…. who drank all of the beer in Phoenix?
I thought I left some miller light at that Fry’s in Tempe…
Having a couple of Hugh’s work friends over for dinner. 3 guys that have worked on his team with him forever.
I love having dinner parties 🙂 I like to entertain. Picking my recipes for tonight right now.
Of course Hugh’s chef brother will have to give me 1000 tips on the recipes I pick, which I of course love 🙂 I highly recommend convincing someone if your family to go to cooking school. Your stomach will forever thank you.
no play by play for us to do this weekend it seems- which is of course fine Jackamo 🙂 I know you were be workafied this week
Hope everyone has a great weekend 🙂
later panites
HnD sighting!
So here is my Julia Child story.
I guy I worked with went to college somewhere in the North (I can’t remember, Boston maybe?) in the city where Julia Child lived. One night while he was cooking a meal for a girl he was dating (and trying to impress) he got in an argument with her for how some part of it should be prepared. Being a 20 year old and full of, well … being a 20 year old guy – he told her that even Julia Child would back him up. The girl friend called his bluff so he pulled out the phone book and low-and-behold … there was a number for Julia Child.
The girlfriend said he would never call her so of course, now he HAD to.
He dialed the number and to his shock, she actually answered!
Not only was she NOT annoyed that he had called, she wanted to know what else he was serving and offered tips on how to prepare things.
Pretty swell, eh?
I dare you to try that with Sean Penn….
OMG what an awesome story!! Julia Child is da bomb yo!!!! Her story was pretty incredible. I may not love french cuisine as much as some others, but I have cooked so many things from her cookbook I can’t even tell you. My Mom had her book and we used it all the time. Her chocolate cake is still the fucking best (and her chocolate almond cake), as is her beef bourguignon.
I would imagine that calling Sean Penn would cause a very different ending to that story. There will probably be someone maimed as a result.
I am happy to report that the food is all cooking away and I have nothing to do until they arrive but make myself pretty.
Well they’re pricey but I am fond of these for use with my ipod touch or blackberry.
I’ve got a Groupon for scanning up to 1000 4×6 photos. I’ve been going back through photo albums and and boxes collecting pictures. It’s been quite the trip through memory lane.
all I got from Groupon was a $35 manicure and pedicure 🙁
It’s way too early for me to be awake on the weekend.
Damn it I didn’t win a Hugo this year…
Boo!
Well there is always last year.
Morning dp! We are tackling yardwork today and I am smoking ribs. Come on over!
Dude, we are so there… well, actually not so much. Today we might also tackle yardwork, but more likely, I will do it tomorrow while the kiddos are in school.
3 day work week for me on the horizon!
We are also going to attempt to get to Bass Pro Shops today. Just gotta shower and suit-up for the day.. whee!
Try the Bass-o-matic
I think today will be cold-chillin with the chillins.
Cold chillin all around!
Shhh, the tumbleweeds are napping.
Cj says you’re invited for leftovers, if you’d like to swing by with the kids Jack.
and there’s still some homebrew hanging around…
Hey, Pan! This is my first post on my new Droid. 🙂
Now Amy, make and model?
Indeed, you can’t go making a post like that around us raging geeks and leave out the details!
LOL! :happy: It’s an HTC Incredible 2. The wireless dealer at Staples had a really good promotional deal on it.
(note: I’m typing on a computer now)
CW: The Killing (Original) Eps 1
Just hoping the US version hasn’t spoilt it for me.
Well the US version was very faithful to the first episode at any rate.
I think Cj is trying to get me in trouble on facebook and convince everyone that I’m a wino.
Right. It’s my fault you keep buying wine and feeding it to me. *I* am the instigator here.
*coughbullshitcough*
Is there such a thing as a beero?
I think they make something to treat that.
Did you ever know that you’re my beero,
you’ve had everything I’d like to drink?
You are much higher than is legal,
oh, now you’ve passed out beneath my seat.
We don’t need another beero (beero).
We don’t need to know the way home….
And be a juke joint beero, got bars in his life, he’s a juke joint beero
He took one funnel, juke joint hero, bars are his life
Juke joint beero, (bars in his eyes) He’ll barf it up tonight
My cool tech moment of the day, streaming an episode of Trueblood, from my laptop to my phone(over 3G), when the laptop was at home and I was out shopping (watched the rest of the episode as I travelled home on the bus).
Van, I’m anxious to get ahold of the original Killing, but can’t find it. Like your review!
Monday . . .
Not released yet in the USA Essbee. I’ll pm you on facebook sometime today.
Thank you, m’dear.
Good morning Panites!
How are we this fine, sunny morning?
Still breathing, which I consider a plus.
*Gives Van a giant teddy bear hug and knocks the wind out of him* :silly:
Happy Happy.
Except for the going to court to fight a speeding ticket today. I do have the day off work, however.
I want to do yard work, put my shelves back up, organize some furniture, gather some stuff to sell, work on my podcast, enjoy extra time with my kids, and yeah, I’m tired thinking about it all.. LOL but happy.
I want time off :cwy:
Although, I do still have two and a half weeks of holiday time. I suppose I could take time off if I wanted to.
Saw hubby out the door this morning. He’s only putting in a half day but still, life is starting to get back into that regular groove.
Your school year is just starting? Here in my part of California, it started as far back as the 11th for many public school districts, and on the 15th for universities and colleges that are on the semester system. I do know of one private school that’s starting today.
Amy, technically the school year doesn’t start for another two weeks but hubby, being admin, has been going in on and off since Aug 12.
Oh, OK. I remember when I didn’t have to start school until the second week of September. Now, everyone wants to be done with first semester before Christmas, which does make sense and takes pressure off the kids.
Van – No review of Cowboys and Aliens? You’ve forgotten it already haven’t you?
Cowboys and Aliens is a fun movie. A bit predictable, but definitely fun anyway.
I finally saw Green Hornet last night. I think my standards must have been quite low from all the reviews I heard. I actually found it fun.
Question for the tech savvy crowd here. I’m in the market for a pair of laptops. In the old days, one could simply look at the speed of the processor and know what one is getting. Comparisons were extremely easy. It was simply a game of numbers (processor speed, RAM, HD size). Now there are core i3, i5, i7 from Dell and AMDs new A8s. Nothing lists speeds, and from what I can tell, raw speeds are no longer all that matters. I’ve looked for comparisons that can tell me what is equivalent to what, but no easy lists seem to exist. One laptop will simply be a replacement for the family machine in the kitchen and will have little more than web surfing and music/video streaming done on it. The other is a replacement for my desktop and will have to have the capability to run things like Adobe Audition and record incoming music. I’m guessing that one of the cheap i3 computers with 2-4 GB RAM will be fine for the family machine. Are the i3 computers good enough for Adobe Audition or will I have to go up to an i5 or an i7? Will a significantly cheaper A8 work as well as an i5 or an i7? Any suggestions?
I can’t answer your power questions UH. I moved from a dual core laptop to a i7 quad core desktop last year. What I will tell you though, is do not get less than 4GB of ram. Windows 7 is a memory hog. Less so than Vista but still. With Windows you will come pretty close to reaching your peak with 2 GB. Adding anything to that will really push the system.
That’s my advice anyway.
Just about any computer in the $500 dollar range can handle those tasks. My current laptop, a Lenovo has an i5 quad core processor, 6 gigs of RAM and I’m running Windows 7 in 64bit to take advantage of the extra RAM. It does great for computational heavy tasks. I haven’t heard any news about the A8’s.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A8-3850+APU+with+Radeon+HD+Graphics
This might help some but it doesn’t have the core i3 so I have to assume it is lower on the scale but you are right it is hard to find what that really means. from my understanding the i7 is more efficient than the i5 or i3 so you will get more battery life and it is faster. I really like AMD but I don’t know anything about there new processes. My newest AMD it getting close to 2 years old.
I wouldn’t but anything thing with less that 4gb or ram unless it is very ease to add 2gb later.
so if it has 2gb and one free slot to add another 2gb later.
i7 is much better. I recommend it.
Oh, that chart is exactly what I was looking for. Considering that the AMD A8 is probably better than the older processor in the desktop that I am replacing, it certainly seems to produce a big bang for the buck. Now I just need to wait until the right system with the right price comes up.
I’ve got a netbook with the E350 chipset, not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, but it will happily run games like Plants Vs Zombies, emulators and of course do things like email and web browsing. The low power means the battery life is good, and the graphics hardware means it will happily play HD videos..when I bother to download them.
Time for a walk. Then to clean the kitty box and take out the garbage. ooooh, my live is so exciting 😉
“my live is so exciting ”
Your “pre-recorded” ain’t to bad either toots!
*drum hit*
*hugs J0e*
The bunnies were out in force this morning. It’s getting quite hot already too (here in Canadaland 20C or 70F is shorts and t-shirt weather).
Now… bathroom, kitty litter, and other such fun stuff.
Also time for the first ever Stroke by Stroke event. That’s where I play a game of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 golf on my Wii. I’m not that good so it should be pretty humorous.
I playing the west coarse at Wentworth as part of the London Inventational. Hole 1 is a par 4, 452 yards. Here goes the first shot.
course even.
314 yards and into rough. Thought I hit it well, but the announcers were pretty condescending. 140 yards to pin.
I’d say, “I’m here!”, but that would only be partially true.
“I’m partially here!”
Shot 2 into rough, but 30 yards to hole.
Shot 3 on the green. 14 foot shot for par, but the green slopes hard to the left.
Hit it to soft and it came up short. Tapped it in for bogey. Onto hole 2.
Hole 2 is a 131 yard, par 3 attempt. Small green, it needs to be accurately placed.
Overshot the hole by a tad, then chipped it 16 feet from hole. The shot looks fairly level.
Dropped it in for par. Current score +1.
Be, the ball, Rhetty. Be the ball.
It itches.
Hole 3 is a long 385 yard, par 4. Did I mention I have to hit it up a hill? Wish me luck.
Hmmm… Yesterday when I played this hole I ended up in the sand to the right so I aimed left of the fairway. Ended up behind a tree on the left side. Then hit a low 6 iron shot back into the fairway. 55 yards to the pin left.
On the green, but 22 foot putt. blech.
Hit it soft and came up short, then tapped in for another bogey. +2 for the round.
Hole 4 is a 463 yard par 5. Can anyone say Eagle? Yeah right, it has a hard dog leg to the left and I’m shooting into the wind.
A game play by play. A cool idea, Rhett :happy:
Thanks Bunny. 🙂
wOOt! 292 yards and I didn’t clip a tree.
On the green and 8 feet away for Eagle!!! Of course the hole is sitting on a 45 hill. Arrgh! Wish me luck, this won’t be easy.
Eagle!!! Woohoo!!! Happy Dance. Back to even for the day. Onto hole 5.
Hole 5 is a 161 yard par 3 attempt, which would be easy except the hole is surrounded by sand traps, aka bunkers.
On the green safely and 13 foot putt for bird.
I got a birdie? I got a birdie! -1 for the day.
Hole 6 is a 329 yard par 4. The wind is blowing to the SE at 3 MPH.
First hit 261 yards to the middle of the fairway. 71 yards to pin. The hole is up 8 feet higher than where I am standing.
I know, I really liked Atomic Comics. Good thing there are two others that are close to me and are currently open.
That is pretty terrible news! The location by the PV Mall used to be such a great destination. I have such fond memories of my young son meeting Spider-Man there for Free Comic Day events. Boo.
Yep, we just went there a few months ago (the Mesa locations) and hung out with Boba Fett and got some freebies.
And in not sad news… basically neutral news:
I went to court for my photo radar ticket… they say to show up at 9am.. I’m like ok let’s get this done.
Yeah, I get there and they call me to schedule another day a month from now.
*le sigh*
Did you request that the photo radar be brought in for questioning? Everyone has the right to face their accuser.
I have no idea what I’m doing, to be honest. I am just gonna show up and try to look like an innocent person who would not go 11 MPH over the speed limit. Gah.. at 10 the radars don’t set off and for all I know, I was passing someone. grrr.
I got a photo ticket for running a red light in Orlando. I don’t remember running it, but the car in the picture was definitely mine. I’ve been told that they have the ability to set the timing such that the light can turn red while you’re in the intersection, which I could potentially have fought. Unfortunately, I have also been told that the $157 photo ticket does not get reported to my insurance and does not take any points off my license. If I had gone to court and lost (which I’m told EVERYONE does) the fine would have been doubled and there would have been a report to my insurance company and points off my license. I paid the ticket.
I think I’m gonna go back to bed.
Stupid list.
On the green again for another birdie attempt. 12 feet, but a fast, fast slope. Odds of making are slim.
[GetSmart] Missed it by THAT much [/GetSmart]
And 3-putted for bogey. *sticks tongue out* Back to even par.
Hole 7 is a 362 yard par 4 attempt. I have a 3 MPH breeze at my back. I have to clear a lot of cabbage patches to hit the fairway on this first shot.
Hit it too hard and ended up in the rough, short of the stream though. 101 yards to hole.
*golf clap*
I got within 4 feet of the hole! Then it rolled 20 feet away, stupid hill. Long shot for bird.
Ugly, ugly putting. Up the hill, down the hill. Up the hill, down the hill. Ended up with the dreaded double bogey. 2 over now.
Hole 8 is a par 4. I hit it safely to the middle of the fairway. 135 yards to pin, but stiff 12 MPH wind into my face. The caddie is giving me the pitching wedge, I’ll opt for a 9 iron.
It was still short and into the sand. 🙁 Should have when with an 8 iron.
Chipped it out of the sand to the edge of the green, then putted it inches from the hole, tapped in for another bogey. +3 for the round. Need some birds to take the edge off.
Am I the only one who now has *Stroooke me, Stroke me*
playing over and over again in their head?
I wonder if Billy Squire ever played golf.
Hole 8 is a 423 yard par 4, described by the announcers as difficult. Great.
Nice drive and right into the short grass. (TWSS)
152 yards to the pin, 5 MPH wind to the SW. Gonna stick with the 8 iron.
Hit it onto the right fringe of the hole. Have to chip it close if I want a chance for par.
4 feet to pin, but nasty, nasty slope.
Made it! +3 for the first half of the course. I need to do much better for the second half or the announcers will just be dicks to me.
Hole 10 is a 180 yard par 3. The fairways are narrow and I need to be mindful of hitting tree branches. Tricky first shot.
I thought it would go long, so I played it with a softer swing. Ended up short of the green in the rough. Again I hope for a close chip shot to save par.
CD: cooling heels at the cinema waiting for Cowboys and Aliens to start.
Had to goto a later performance, as nephew’s forced labour ‘job’ doesn’t finish till 3pm.
Tried to flop it and ended up on the other side of the green. Wow this is just like when I play real golf. 13 foot putt to save par.
Made it! Didn’t think I would. Still +3 for the day.
Yeah for a decent game Rhett. I guarantee it’s 100% better than I’d do :cheerful:
Lunch time!
Hole 11 is a 345 yard par 4. Short, but a lot of obstacles. Wind to my back at 8 MPH.
First shot, looked straight to me, but I ended up to the right of the fairway with a pretty substantial hedge in my field of view. 94 yards to pin, but hard to control hitting out of the rough.
Don’t believe it. Made it 11 feet from the hole, shooting for bird. Still a tough shot though.
So close, lipped the hole and fell short. Tapped it in for a par. Still +3 for the day.
If golf is a good walk spoiled, then what is Wii golf?
A good ass sit spoiled?
A way to avoid all that pesky “fresh air and exercise”.
And green fees.
Hole 12 is a 477 yard par 5. I’ve to get eagle here, but I don’t want to jinks myself. A bird would be nice too.
First shot was good, 280 yard drive or so. 187 yards to pin.
On the green in two! Another eagle attempt, but difficult 28 foot putt.
Got it within 1 foot of the hole and tapped it in for bird. +2 for the day.
Hole 13, another difficult par 4. 446 yards to the pin and obstacles to the right and left. The hole dog legs to the left.
I liked that shot. In the fairway and a clear 156 yards to the hole.
Second shot was not as good. Short of the green, but I missed the big tree to the left. Hoping for a close shot to the pin to save par.
Got it close, 7 feet, but slopes pretty hard to the right. Tricky shot.
Lipped it and tapped it in for bogey. Back to +3 for the day. I hope the other holes go better.
The leader of our official opposition just passed away from cancer. No matter what you think of his politics, it’s always sad when someone goes before their time
Hole 14 is a tough par 3. 147 yards, but severely up hill, as in 32 feet up hill. The tee off box sets behind a tall bunker, so you can’t see the hole from tee off position. Lots of trees and sand traps to avoid as well.
On the green, but hard sloping 19 foot putt for birdie.
Tweet, tweet
Don’t hit the bunny!
Who me? Never. 🙂
Argh, tapped it and it rolled down the hill off the green, chipped close and putted for one over. +4 for the day. I’d have to birdie the last four holes to end up even for the day.
The games I play aren’t the type that I can pause and Pan about
You would probably be better off with a daily gaming journal.
Hole 15 is again described as hard. 443 yards and par 4, the hole sets down 14 feet from where I’m teeing off. The announcer recommends a shot to the left.
On a related note, I ordered the super duper special edition a Skyrim today. Another $150 edition game. Hubby will be pleased :ninja:
Neato!
I ended up hitting it straight instead, there was a pretty stiff 11 MPH wind pushing me left anyways. Ended up in the center of the fairway. 158 yards to go and it looks like several tree canopies between me and the pin as well.
So I “punched” it, hitting a low ball under the trees, made it to the green but long 43 foot putt for bird. Honestly I’ll be lucky to save par.
Nothing spectacular. Putted close and tapped in for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 16 is an easier 341 yard par 4. Let’s hope so.
Played the first shot safe with a 3 wood. A driver shot could have pushed it into the ugly. 106 yards, clear shot to pin.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. On but long putt for bird. 36 foot level shot.
Putted to two feet and then tapped for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 17, 535 yard par 5. Eagle attempt? It is a very technical hole, so I would say, not likely.
Bounced it out of the rough (and back into the fairway) on the first shot, but 288 yards isn’t bad. 270 yards to hole. Hmmm… could possible hit the green with a 3 wood.
Well, to the side of the green, in the rough. Maybe I can hit it close?
8 feet for bird.
Bird! +3 for the day.
Final hole. Par 5 478 yards to pin. Eagle? Let’s see how the first couple shots play out.
269 yards. 263 to the green. The announcers said it was an okay shot. =P
I’m on! 26 foot putt though.
Eagle! Finished with a +1 for the day. Much better than the +12 from a few days ago. Is it too early for the 19 hole?

Well Cowboys and Aliens was pretty forgettable, with an oh so silly plot (gold mining..really?), but I’ve seen worst movies.
My nephew took his shoes off while watching the movie, I couldn’t smell anything, but the couple sitting front of us, move further along the row they were on…
I think I’ve discovered a new level of hell. Having your gums swollen and painful from the filling you had on Friday while listening to older people complain that they can’t use your services on the web because they don’t own a computer and how dare you take away their phone option. Oh yeah, and they spend xxx amount of money on your client every week. 🙁
Hey pan got a Motorola Xoom from Verizon to test today to test. Pretty cool so far but at this point anything is an upgrade from only having internet on my blackberry at home
I might actually get a comment out if I could get used to a touch screen.

Words of wisdom: “No” can be a complete sentance
Meaning you don’t have to feel bad or explain why you said no
Very anoying thing in Pandora:
“I love this song!!!!!”
Check the play list
“Hey that dosen’t fit this list”
Crap what to do now…
Pandora (the big interface on the computer, not the phone app) allows you to choose that you like the song but that it belong on a different station. I was really happy when they allowed that, because all my stations had been in the process of becoming the same thing.
Now I just use Grooveshark because I can choose what I want to listen to, when I want to listen to it. No Pink Floyd or Beatles, but I can always listen to them on my phone or at home or whatever.
Reaper: the next thing to do is use Grooveshark. Not as a Pandora replacement, but as an accessory.
And btw: I almost missed this exchange from earlier, which is a shining example of what is best in life:

There’s blood in my mouth ’cause i’ve been biting my tongue all week.

And then there is no mystery left.
And it’s bad news, baby i’m bad news
I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
I know i’m alone if i’m with or without you,
But just being around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams,
And the bad dreams lead me to calling you,
And i call you and say “c’mere!”

There, now I know what to do if there is a disaster in my home. I mean work.
I think I’m about to get kicked out of my convention group for creating too much controversy. Controversy is fun :happy:
Bunny, what’s your username on Words with Friends?
Sorry Amy, got caught up in work and stuff. Sent you a new game now. I’m EnerBunny
No worries. Thank you! :happy:
I should be heading to work instead of playing games, too. 😆
Interesting tech thing.
In a few weeks I am going to have to do some driving in a big city that is completely foreign to me … so I am using google earth to “virtually” drive the route ahead of time … familiarize myself with what the intersections will look like and such … and I have noticed that occasionally there will be a sign or billboard that has part of it blurred out.
This amazes me and 2 questions pop to mind –
1) What in the world do they feel like they have to censor? They don’t blur the image of the people on the street so why blur the face of the model on the billboard? What were the words the blurred out on what I thought was an informational sign? Hmmmm
2) Did some one really sit down and scan every one of these street view picture looking for this “non-viewable” content? Do they have a piece of software that can recognize just these little bits of images that they don’t want me to see … and then accurately JUST blur that bit.
I am agog at it all.
I believe that Google uses a software face recognition program to blur faces, which may explain why faces get blurred out on billboards. I’m not sure what other things rise to the level of getting blurred. I have observed that shows on the Discovery channel will often blur out t-shirts that have advertising on them. I guess they don’t want to give out free advertising. Not sure if the same thinking applys to Google.
CP: Won’t Get Fooled Again — The Who
Time for my daily constitutional. Must get my walk in before it gets too hot. It’s suppose to push 30C today.
Hola from NYC, Deadpan. I’m gonna be rather quiet the next couple weeks Don’t anyone doth protest too much…
Hope you all are/have been well.
Take care of yourself out there!
I thought that was “Hill Street Blues” ?
Wasn’t that ‘let’s be careful out there’?
Ah, you’re correct sir.
“Let’s be careful out there? You’re supposed to say kick some cylon ass!”
Have fun, Lo Pan!
So is this trip business or pleasure?
Yes!
His business is pleasure!
I’m afraid if your going to Wall Street to collect souls … your going to be mighty disappointed.
Walk was nice. Already starting to get too warm though.
Now it’s time to make some hummus.
Don’t make me tired, Mr. McGee. You wouldn’t like me when I’m tired.
OK Bunny, you can’t leave us hanging like that. What controversy are you stirring?
Some of the group want to bid on bringing in the Aurora’s. The Cdn version of the Hugo’s. I’m strongly against it and said so. Now I seem to have created two factions, those for and those against. It will be interesting to see who wins.
Ah but why are you strongly against it?
Hummus made. Although I’m upset I forgot to get a red pepper when I went shopping earlier in the week so I had to make regular old hummus.
Now I have some me time so, as usual, it’s time to open a book
I had a weird occurance at the house yesterday. The large vanity mirror behind the lavatory sink in my bathroom came unglued from the wall. It dropped five inches and wedged itself behind the lavatory. It didn’t break, but now I’m trying to figure out who to call to remount it. Glass company, handiman? I suppose I could try and fix it myself, but I think I would need one of those suction cupped tools for moving large sheets of glass.
Isn’t something happening to the bathroom mirror a sign of a haunting?
Could be, I just need to make sure whatever adhesive I use to remount it with is ghost resistant. Funny thing about that is my wife reported some odd things happening to her when she traveled to a hotel in Fort Worth last month. I wonder if it followed her home.
My vanity comes unglued all of the time.
You might want to move your bed away from the wall.
That’s a poor reflection of your character.
Consider the other things we had to get fixed on our house, I wouldn’t be surpised if the mounted the mirror with wall paper paste.
First week of classes. All hell is breaking loose.
Nothing in AZ. I don’t think it touched anywhere in Canada, not even the eastern provinces. TEB is pretty far out west.
Apparently there was also a fairly big one in Colorado last night?
There are certainly quite a few people on Facebook in the Toronto area claiming to have felt the tremor, I had forgotten how far west TEB was.
I hear it was felt in Ontario, so it was probably felt in some of the eastern provinces as well.
Alberta is further from the quake than I am, so TEB probably didn’t feel anything. Alberta is above Montana and is next to British Columbia, which is the west coast of Canada.
NS is reporting that it’s his first Earhquake on twitter.
Jesus Christ, I leave one earthquake to get to another????
Someone, or some :cthulu: , *loves* you. 😉
Black Blood of the Earth!
Yes well, you are, Lo Pan … and all that.
My symphony season tickets came in today’s mail. Woo Hoo!
I don’t think you are allowed to say “Woo Hoo!” if you attend The Symphony. They may ask for their tickets back.
If I can’t say it, can I do it instead :blush:
So far the biggest suffering from this is being endured by the TV news outlets who have gone to DEFCON BAZILLION on this and so far (thankfully) have nothing to show. There all on their zillionth interview with a person who can add nothing more than “Yes. I felt it.”
Let’s hope this continues to be nothing more than a novelty event.
Meanwhile a Hurricane bares down on the Carolinas.
A friend of mine got married this week and told nobody about it. We all found out when he and his girlfriend changed their facebook status. They went on holidays last week and haven’t come back yet. I always thought eloping was for the young. I guess I was wrong.
Good for them.
On a more sombre note, one of Mother’s relations whose husband had died, organised the funeral and told nobody about..
The point being the elderly show up youth as amateurs when it comes to weird notions.
Let’s go and show up some youth, Van 😉
That is sad
DEFCON BAZILLION is so going to be our. . . oh, never mind.
If there was ever a convention for the fans of Def Leppard, it should be called Def-Con.
Isn’t that a criminal that can’t hear?
Can’t make Def-Con, I’d already made plans to attend Chaka Khan Con that same weekend.
It’s too bad my kitty doesn’t like these things. I so want to get her this
:jack: people in Miami will say anything. It was probably a performance of “The Rhythm is Gonna Get You” that was shaking things up down there.
Van, funny about geography. We watched this flick recently called Snow Cake. This British actor (guy who plays Snape) goes to Canada to visit someone and books his flight MILES and MILES away from the person and ends up driving for days. I won’t spoil the movie – was a good one – but it was funny geography-wise.
FYI – no unusual shaking occured in Texas today.
Though, that didn’t stop the local news from sending me a text about it.
Back from Heritage Park. We finally made it to the candy store but didn’t buy any candy. We got ice cream cones instead. Then we got some sourdough bread from the park bakery.
Tired now but relaxed.
I couldn’t convince hubby to go on the ferris wheel, though. That’s one of the few places we are different. I love heights, he doesn’t.
Now just chillaxing on the couch with my kitty
Hubby was right. Taking the day off was good for me. Althoug, the day in the sun made my arm freckles come out in force 🙂
*High five* to John for his good deed. Sounds like a great day, Bunny.
High 5 to Mr. Bunny.
I admit that I’m a bit of an aviation geek, uncovential airplanes usually pique my interest. Did anyone else catch the NatGeo video about the Horton 229 aka “Hitler’s Stealth Fighter”?
Engineers build a full scale mockup and test its stealth characteristics which were pretty good. A little digging on the internet and it appears that a few independant RC hobbiest have built their own flyable scratch built planes. http://home.planet.nl/~otten100/Ho229EVDH.html
Amazing.
That Horton fighter was especially good at detecting Whos.
…. I apologize ….
The joke was bad enough to cause a momentary site outage.
“The timing of the announcement, however, was a surprise and raised questions about the health of Mr. Jobs”
It was a surprise? To who, the blind? whenever I’ve seen pictures of Steve Jobs recently he looked far from well, and I figured it was inevitable that he would be resigning in the near future.
If you guys are on Facebook, check out the dragon Sly B crocheted for me!
I don’t see anything. 🙁
Ah, crap!
Maybe you have to be friends with her?
I’ll post a link as soon as I figure out how.
For the benefit of the Facebookless:
Today I learned that the secret to getting a six year old boy to practice his sight words is to let him say “FART!” after each one and laugh.
Don’t think you’ll see that one mentioned in the “how to raise your kids” section of the book store 🙂
Here is a reading tip for youngsters that I ran across.
Better reading through comics!
Check out ebay for someone selling large lots of Disney comics from the 70’s … if you can get like 20 to 50 of them, you might get them for like 50 cents a piece. Then you hand them out to your kids as rewards for good class work or whatever. Since they are mostly graphics … it helps the kids figure out what the words are.
Just be ready to explain that goof’s words aren’t necessarily “real” words. “Garsh!” 😉
And, the coolest video from an astronomer of the east coast earthquake you will see today:
Interesting that there was that much action in Texas but I don’t know of anyone here who noticed it at all.
Silly story from today:
You know you work in the IT industry when you have to explain to a coworker that, in an email written by someone in the medical industry, “outpt” is shorthand for “outpatient,” not “output.”
Just posted on the last episode like a total n00b.

Why, oh why do people keep saying that the single picture of Anne Hathaway reveals anything about the new catwoman costume. You can’t even see the damn thing. I can see the arms and a part of her leg. How the hell am I supposed to know what that costume looks like.

Now for the blatantly obvious: A judge rules that schools cannot police behavior outside of schools.
http://gizmodo.com/5830288/students-can-post-racy-photos-on-social-networking-sites-judge-rules
What’s not so blatantly obvious … what if the kids in question, while wearing school identifying clothing (like a uniform) and while clearly on school property, take pictures of themselves in lewd or compromising poses … but post those pictures after hours on a non-school social network.
That happened locally and I applaud the school for banning them from school activities for doing this. In effect … these kids were publically representing the school while being douche bags… and if the school chooses not to be publically represented by douche bags I think they should have that right.
Thanks MSN.com, but I’m probably going to skip your article entitled “Child sticks LEGO piece up nose”.
I think today “FTW” stand for “F**k TumbleWeeds!”
Want me to make some noise?
*wind noises*
What is that SMELL?!
Jani Lane’s dead.
47 in a Comfort Inn.. that’s what I heard anyway last night.
I find it odd that http://www.celebritydeathbeeper.com hasn’t reported it yet.
Did he still have celeb status?
I’m going to assume its too early for any “Down Boys” references here.
I knew who he was… I sent them a scathing email.
ok, I’m totally lying. I didn’t scathe anyone.
Scathing? Like hot cherry pie?
Wait thats “scalding”.
Deadpan is never standard.
Deadpan is sometime much like the American Standard.
You mean like this?

I hate to slag the recently departed, but I really can’t think of a single positive thing to say.
Too bad it wasn’t Sebastian Bach?
You have a heart of stone. Live 9-5? Work your fingers to the bone?
mmmm You know what is delicious… a hot cherry pie with the cherry filling removed.
The warm, moist, crust is so incredibly delicious. *sigh*

Hi.
Hola.
Buy one get one free for Minecraft accounts this weekend
http://notch.tumblr.com/post/8829997577/wedding-weekend
I haven’t really looked at Minecraft, though I’ve heard a lot about it. So I went to check it out and watched the beginning tutorial. Looks like way too much work!
it’s kinda like playing LEGOs with an RPG element in that you actually have to get the materials together and fight monsters.
I like the creative aspects combined with the challenge of getting everything together. Although some would say I’ve gotten carried away.

And then some like to just run around and explore the worlds you can generate.
3:00pm.
Ill take this one, Jack.
*sigh*

You can sigh that again.
This made me giggle.

Ironic that our beer enthusiast has become a growler?

Almost time for me to RT Lo Pan’s *sigh*.
Is “penultimate” the word of the month? I’m sure I’ve never seen it before August and now I’ve observed about five different people using it. Is it a real english word? Has it only been recently invented?
It’s been around for a long time, though I think most people probably use it incorrectly. I know I did many years ago.
You’ll really appreciate the word when DP episode 287 is released.
More likely the Unshow that comes after 287. 😉
Here’s something we’ll probably never see again.

Great find, Ed. That would be the penultimate meeting of those two ships.
It looks like we’ll be hitching rides with the Russians and maybe any other country whose space program matters more to them than their wealthiest citizens’ shopping sprees.
See, I went political, and that was the penultimate comment of the afternoon.
So I guess this is the ultimate comment, I better make it worth while…
http://khaaan.com/
http://nooooooooooooooo.com/
Speaking of which … I just got a two page letter from Mitt Romney asking for money so he can be our next President. He didn’t say one thing in the letter about why he is more qualified then any of the other candidates. Nor did he give ANY ideas for what he would do to fix the economy. Just two pages of how evil Obama is.
I guess he thinks he is the only guy running?
What.
Okay, he is definitely not getting my vote.
First iPhone post attempt!

Just listened to the this weeks DP episode.
The Amy/Jack/Rhettro version of the Portal song sounds even better at x2 playback speed.
I’ll get my coat..
RE: Closing song
You know, when the “Still Alive” song started, I was expecting Jack to cut in after a few seconds with another “No, that’s not it”. Then, as I continued listening, the idea started forming in my mind that “You know, that kinda sounds like Amy Bowen singing….” and then I was certain. And then a smile crept across my face as another thought formed “Awesome”
Nice job to all involved in the “Still Alive” project.
Awwww! 🙂 Thank you so much, Ed!
Thanks Ed, that was the reaction I was hoping for. Amy did a great job didn’t she?
Yup.
Oh and the 2x comment wasn’t an insult, I did enjoy listening at twice the playback speed.
That would make it a metal song. LOL
Aww! Thank you, Rhettro and Vanamonde! :happy:

Yes, I think Rhett and Amy did an amazing job with “Still Alive”. Great job producing and executing and delivering on a fantastic idea, Rhett!
Thank you! My pleasure. :happy:
Agreed — that was a great cover!
Made my day yesterday. Thanks for an amazing gift.
Still makes me laugh:

I have been scouring the globe for a job.
I found one… in Houston then it moves to Woodward OK…

Good news!
I have arrived in Houston… Thanks for all the well wishes and such…

Lejon: cathullu, or how do you fucking spell that word? cthulhu.
Dear Deadpan
I know I probably just lost many street cred points for not being able to spell cthulhu without Mr google’s help.
But please forgive me
You must know after years of reading my comments that I have a very basic knowledge of writing and spelting any words korrectly, as well as a laughably minute knowledge of punctuation and how it should be used in a sentence.

Thank you Jack and Co for another episode of pure Deadpan awesomeness.
I bask in its glory and know that I am not worthy
Hugh sez: we’re not worthy, we’re not worthy
be safe, and remember to practice random acts of kindness
I am unworthy of such awesome PBP.
Yes, yes you are.
Gosh darnit, people like you!
Well, by PBP, I mean Play-By-Play, not Pinheads Blasting Pantera or Partners Biting Pillows.
Pink Beer Pourers?
Partial Beer Pints :cwy:
And speaking of biting, there’s really nothing to recommend about Cowboys and Aliens. Not clever, not fun, not good. I’m glad the previous “meh” reviews had helped to lower my expectations.
I enjoyed the movie and thought it was predictable, but still pretty fun.
You’re just full of humbugness.
You should spend more time with Larry the Cable Guy…
America’s favorite bigot?
I get to agree with Jack.
I still say they spent their whole budget hiring big named actors and a Summer Glau look-a-like (couldn’t they have just hired Summer?)and had no money left for the little things … like a script … or editing.
My real disappointment is that, as “mindless summer fun” films go, I think it could have been a really good movie. At least as good as Iron Man.
But, but, it has Harrison Ford in it. That makes it mandatory viewing for me. (Haven’t seen it yet)
Sink the pink. It’s all the fashion.
Drink the drink. It’s old fashioned.
This is why I love you!!!!!

Genesis 1:13 An so teh threeth day jazzhands.
A little behind and just listened to this episode this morning. The Portal song was amazing! Well done!
Went to the movies yesterday and saw Harry Potter. I couldn’t find the theater (it was in theater 12, and I saw 11 and 13, but no 12). I felt like I was at the train station.
Also saw Rise of Planet of the Apes. Really enjoyed it, but also realized I was missing a lot of in jokes because I never saw the originals. So watched the original Planet of the Apes on Amazon video when I got home.
A classic ending.
Well, I knew the story (and the ending) but had never actually seen it. I got a few references from the new movie, like “Bright Eyes”, “it’s a mad house” and “get your paws off me, you damn dirty ape!” And of course, the Statue of Liberty. But I knew that one already.

Well, it is definitely a Monday.
That is all.
True, but it might also be THE Monday, which would be so much better than a more generic A Monday.
Tell me now how does it feel?
Ghastly..
Tell me now how should I feel?

Any day of the week that LR and I don’t have to run into a busy freeway to retrieve a sofa is a good day.
WTF?
I think the sofa was trying to run away

Agreed.

Well lets hope that “possible” just stays as that instead of becoming probable.

Holy crap!
Fairly expensive trip to the ABC store, but came away with a good haul. Over the next few days I will be drinking:
Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout (because I’ve heard it hyped here so much)
Billy’s Chilies (made with five different kinds of fresh chili peppers)
Dogfish Head Midas Touch (handcrafted ancient ale with barley, honey, white muscat grapes and saffron)
Alexander Keith’s Nova Scotia Style Brown Ale
Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot (Barley-wine Style Ale)
Highland Brewing Company Gaelic Ale
The Yeti is real good, UH. But the Oak Aged Yeti is the true holy grail.
Does the Blithering Idiot turn you into just that? Must find.
Midas Touch is an interesting beer, and it really depends on your tastes in beer whether or not you enjoy it.
Don’t most barleywines turn you into a blithering idiot, at least after a couple of bottle…
What they’ve said, plus I’ve liked everything I’ve had from Alexander Keith’s, but I’ve not had their brown. I’m very sad I can’t get any down here.

Realized I’m being drained by all the negativity around me and in the world. Most of it, I can’t do anything about. So for at least one day, I am not watching/reading news about the economy or wars, I’m not reading political posts, I’m looking for the good and uplifting. Maybe I’m burying my head a bit in the sand, but the daily stress of worry about things I have no control over is unhealthy. Give me some positive stuff, guys!
You are smart. 🙂
I like that kind of positive statement! 🙂
We aim to please.
Also, listen to happy music. Perhaps, TMBG or JoCo?
I’ve had “Still Alive” in my head all morning…
Not to be confused with “Stayin’ Alive”
Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Stayin’ Aliiiiiiiiiiiive

You aim too, please.
My nickname on Facebook is Eeyore, so you are out of luck with the positive from me.
On the other hand I enjoyed ‘Rise of the Planet Of the Apes’, rather old fashioned as scifi movies go, but still enjoyable.
I enjoyed it too. Is it weird that I had a bit of a crush on Caesar? They did make him look rather human…
How about a new webcomic about a barbarian single mother?

Ugh! *hugs*

None, it won’t be long now.
Sorry.
Been through that.
I know I tried to focus on spending what time I could, getting prepped for the job search. Making resume’, searching the net for possible openings and such.
Of course I had management that allowed such things.
My department also took things into our own hands. Everyone in the company knew this was coming and we watched others getting picked-off. My group was small and basically couldn’t do our job with any less personnel then we had … so we sat down and figured out how long it would take to finish all projects that were underway … and then had our dept. manager go to the V.P. and say, “Hey, how about laying us all off during the week of (can’t remember the date).
The VP was stunned. This had ever happened.
I have to say there was some satisfaction in taking ones fate into one’s own hands. It was also a great relief not worrying about “when” they were coming for you.
Thank you all. Yeah, I’ve known for a month now. I’ve reached the point of I’m ready to move on, just trying to find the next opportunity. While they are open to giving me time to conduct interviews etc, I’m in a pretty open floor plan (literally six people can see my computer screen at any time) and can’t spend all day on the boards. They are also mixed on what they give me to work on since they don’t want to give me anything important and I am growing bored with what I do have.
For those who may remember, I had to get my Boo a car as she was in an accident and her’s was written off. In a, I don’t know how it happened moment, her good used car turned into us getting a new car instead. We pick it up this afternoon. Boo will get hubby’s old car.

My experiment with focusing on positive news and avoiding negative news yesterday seems to have worked and I’m feeling much better today. I know you can’t (and shouldn’t) ignore all the negative stuff, but making sure positive gets equal billing is important. The world doesn’t completely suck.
My contribution to “Project Desdemina” –
http://news.yahoo.com/study-finds-sniffer-dogs-smell-lung-cancer-084526529.html
Makes me kind of nervous when my sisters dog wants to lick my face.
Very cool! And I love “Project Desdemina”. I want to start a movement! It’s simple, just focus on positive things in your life and the world to help offset all the attention given to the negative.
Yep. And when that doesn’t work… divide tasks into baby steps. You’ll find you’ll feel better about getting things done when you can see the progress.
I already do that a LOT. I’m an obsessive list maker and it’s really funny how much I will break down things just so I get to cross stuff off the list more often!
So another 10 minutes of searching and I couldn’t turn up anything else … so I have pulled out the emergency page of dogs swimming.

I support “Project Desdemina”.
I don’t generally like LOL cats and it’s derivatives, but I like this one: http://bit.ly/oLbbwd
Positive things are stupid.
Never trust a person who smiles all the time, they are upto something.

What I felt was Penn’s over arching point of that piece seems to be lost on those that have posted comments.
He’s not opposed to helping people. He’s not even opposed to our government helping people. He’s just plainly stating that he doesn’t know what the best way to do that is and that he doesn’t believe any, single other person does either.

I like the goal verification line. The other points in the article are good too.
http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/41544-Proteau-NHL-likely-to-adopt-goal-verification-line.html
There need to be electronic sensors in the puck and embedded beneath the goal line ice, only used in situations of uncertainty. The new green line will help, but it’s not enough.
Thank you!
That is immediately what sprang into my mind. This is old tech. You have what is basically a digitizing tablet under the ice in the goal and you put a sensor in the puck. Then you’d have the exact path of where the puck traveled in the net.

Poor hubby was raving against the weather last night. We picked up his new car in the afternoon and by bed time it was hailing. We don’t have a garage. He was not a happy camper. It wasn’t really bad hail. I think the car will be fine. I don’t know though, he left for work before I woke up. Damn cat wouldn’t let me sleep last night.

I found them rather boring, even KB in those clothes couldn’t save it for me.
They were a lot of things, but I dont think boring is one of em.
Sexy girls undulating in tight, shiny black leather and occasionally firing automatic weapons.
I’m going to submit that as a screen play.
That’s it. 110 minutes of just that!
I’ll bet it would make a mint. Heck, I’d own a copy.
Why can’t I find my Fairy Godmother?

I need help pan…. So our assignment is very similar to what was done here recently. “Instead of the traditional short anecdote about your favorite song, or what it means to you, I’d like to know what you want your intro music to be. In the same way the President gets ‘Hail to the Chief’ whenever he walks on stage, or a ball player gets some kind of rock music when he steps up to the plate. We are going to have Toastmasters intro music. It can be a song that gets you pumped up before a game, or you can use it to set the mood of the audience, whatever you would like played while you walking up to the podium. Keep in mind that it will only be a 10 sec portion of the song, so if there is something specific, please let me know.”
I have to think of my theme song, what is yours?
I’ll give you 3 guesses 🙂
MORE COW BELL!
My theme song chose me. Just a small town girl Livin’ in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin’ anywhere Don’t Stop Believin’ – Journey
I’m a one of a kind. There is nothing I associate with myself
Got me a rock’n roll band, IT’S A FREE FOR ALL!
Ok peeps, you know what time it is. It’s movie time!
The opening to the song “Next In Line”. Although the song is way more awesome than I am, so probably false advertising.

For those of you who don’t remember the rules:
I pick a very B horror movie. Today it’s Growth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1300159/, and give play by play.
It will not make sence unless you’ve either seen the movie or are watching it with me.
Spoilers are a given
Spelling will be wrong – especially when the iPad’s auto correct takes over
Also, because of stupid WordPress, there will be an extended version once Jack releases the comment.
Ok, now…
This movie is so great, the DVR has given no write up whatsoever. It was one of e few ones I actually check out imdb before I started
Pushing play now
This movie is rated 18A. It has the perfect trifecta of a b movie. Nudity, coarse language and violence. Woohoo!

Back in Phoenix! Fun was had, friends were visited, delicious food was consumed, and my brain was mushed with work and work information
Yay! welcome back.
and as promised I left it just the same as when you departed.
I may have asked this before. My Apple earbuds are failing again (volume getting lower and lower in right bud). Any recommendations for a earbuds/mic combination that would work with an iPhone4/iPad.
Who…. who drank all of the beer in Phoenix?
I thought I left some miller light at that Fry’s in Tempe…
Morning, beautiful people.
Happy Saturday morning everyone 🙂
think I am going to make this for dinner tonight
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/recipe?id=8222804
Having a couple of Hugh’s work friends over for dinner. 3 guys that have worked on his team with him forever.
I love having dinner parties 🙂 I like to entertain. Picking my recipes for tonight right now.
Of course Hugh’s chef brother will have to give me 1000 tips on the recipes I pick, which I of course love 🙂 I highly recommend convincing someone if your family to go to cooking school. Your stomach will forever thank you.
no play by play for us to do this weekend it seems- which is of course fine Jackamo 🙂 I know you were be workafied this week
Hope everyone has a great weekend 🙂
later panites
HnD sighting!
So here is my Julia Child story.
I guy I worked with went to college somewhere in the North (I can’t remember, Boston maybe?) in the city where Julia Child lived. One night while he was cooking a meal for a girl he was dating (and trying to impress) he got in an argument with her for how some part of it should be prepared. Being a 20 year old and full of, well … being a 20 year old guy – he told her that even Julia Child would back him up. The girl friend called his bluff so he pulled out the phone book and low-and-behold … there was a number for Julia Child.
The girlfriend said he would never call her so of course, now he HAD to.
He dialed the number and to his shock, she actually answered!
Not only was she NOT annoyed that he had called, she wanted to know what else he was serving and offered tips on how to prepare things.
Pretty swell, eh?
I dare you to try that with Sean Penn….
OMG what an awesome story!! Julia Child is da bomb yo!!!! Her story was pretty incredible. I may not love french cuisine as much as some others, but I have cooked so many things from her cookbook I can’t even tell you. My Mom had her book and we used it all the time. Her chocolate cake is still the fucking best (and her chocolate almond cake), as is her beef bourguignon.
I would imagine that calling Sean Penn would cause a very different ending to that story. There will probably be someone maimed as a result.
I am happy to report that the food is all cooking away and I have nothing to do until they arrive but make myself pretty.
Well they’re pricey but I am fond of these for use with my ipod touch or blackberry.

I’ve got a Groupon for scanning up to 1000 4×6 photos. I’ve been going back through photo albums and and boxes collecting pictures. It’s been quite the trip through memory lane.
all I got from Groupon was a $35 manicure and pedicure 🙁
at least it was to the place I always go to 🙂
I would love to be able to scan 1000 4×6 photos.

It’s way too early for me to be awake on the weekend.
Damn it I didn’t win a Hugo this year…
Boo!
Well there is always last year.
Morning dp! We are tackling yardwork today and I am smoking ribs. Come on over!
Dude, we are so there… well, actually not so much. Today we might also tackle yardwork, but more likely, I will do it tomorrow while the kiddos are in school.
3 day work week for me on the horizon!
We are also going to attempt to get to Bass Pro Shops today. Just gotta shower and suit-up for the day.. whee!
Try the Bass-o-matic
I think today will be cold-chillin with the chillins.
Cold chillin all around!
Shhh, the tumbleweeds are napping.
Cj says you’re invited for leftovers, if you’d like to swing by with the kids Jack.
and there’s still some homebrew hanging around…
Hey, Pan! This is my first post on my new Droid. 🙂
Now Amy, make and model?
Indeed, you can’t go making a post like that around us raging geeks and leave out the details!
LOL! :happy: It’s an HTC Incredible 2. The wireless dealer at Staples had a really good promotional deal on it.

CW: The Killing (Original) Eps 1
Just hoping the US version hasn’t spoilt it for me.
Well the US version was very faithful to the first episode at any rate.

Is there such a thing as a beero?
I think they make something to treat that.
Did you ever know that you’re my beero,
you’ve had everything I’d like to drink?
You are much higher than is legal,
oh, now you’ve passed out beneath my seat.
We don’t need another beero (beero).
We don’t need to know the way home….
And be a juke joint beero, got bars in his life, he’s a juke joint beero
He took one funnel, juke joint hero, bars are his life
Juke joint beero, (bars in his eyes) He’ll barf it up tonight
My cool tech moment of the day, streaming an episode of Trueblood, from my laptop to my phone(over 3G), when the laptop was at home and I was out shopping (watched the rest of the episode as I travelled home on the bus).

Van, I’m anxious to get ahold of the original Killing, but can’t find it. Like your review!
Monday . . .
Not released yet in the USA Essbee. I’ll pm you on facebook sometime today.
Thank you, m’dear.
Good morning Panites!
How are we this fine, sunny morning?
Still breathing, which I consider a plus.
*Gives Van a giant teddy bear hug and knocks the wind out of him* :silly:
Happy Happy.
Except for the going to court to fight a speeding ticket today. I do have the day off work, however.
I want to do yard work, put my shelves back up, organize some furniture, gather some stuff to sell, work on my podcast, enjoy extra time with my kids, and yeah, I’m tired thinking about it all.. LOL but happy.
I want time off :cwy:
Although, I do still have two and a half weeks of holiday time. I suppose I could take time off if I wanted to.
Saw hubby out the door this morning. He’s only putting in a half day but still, life is starting to get back into that regular groove.
Your school year is just starting? Here in my part of California, it started as far back as the 11th for many public school districts, and on the 15th for universities and colleges that are on the semester system. I do know of one private school that’s starting today.
Amy, technically the school year doesn’t start for another two weeks but hubby, being admin, has been going in on and off since Aug 12.
Oh, OK. I remember when I didn’t have to start school until the second week of September. Now, everyone wants to be done with first semester before Christmas, which does make sense and takes pressure off the kids.
Van – No review of Cowboys and Aliens? You’ve forgotten it already haven’t you?
Cowboys and Aliens is a fun movie. A bit predictable, but definitely fun anyway.
I finally saw Green Hornet last night. I think my standards must have been quite low from all the reviews I heard. I actually found it fun.
Question for the tech savvy crowd here. I’m in the market for a pair of laptops. In the old days, one could simply look at the speed of the processor and know what one is getting. Comparisons were extremely easy. It was simply a game of numbers (processor speed, RAM, HD size). Now there are core i3, i5, i7 from Dell and AMDs new A8s. Nothing lists speeds, and from what I can tell, raw speeds are no longer all that matters. I’ve looked for comparisons that can tell me what is equivalent to what, but no easy lists seem to exist. One laptop will simply be a replacement for the family machine in the kitchen and will have little more than web surfing and music/video streaming done on it. The other is a replacement for my desktop and will have to have the capability to run things like Adobe Audition and record incoming music. I’m guessing that one of the cheap i3 computers with 2-4 GB RAM will be fine for the family machine. Are the i3 computers good enough for Adobe Audition or will I have to go up to an i5 or an i7? Will a significantly cheaper A8 work as well as an i5 or an i7? Any suggestions?
I can’t answer your power questions UH. I moved from a dual core laptop to a i7 quad core desktop last year. What I will tell you though, is do not get less than 4GB of ram. Windows 7 is a memory hog. Less so than Vista but still. With Windows you will come pretty close to reaching your peak with 2 GB. Adding anything to that will really push the system.
That’s my advice anyway.
Just about any computer in the $500 dollar range can handle those tasks. My current laptop, a Lenovo has an i5 quad core processor, 6 gigs of RAM and I’m running Windows 7 in 64bit to take advantage of the extra RAM. It does great for computational heavy tasks. I haven’t heard any news about the A8’s.
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+A8-3850+APU+with+Radeon+HD+Graphics
This might help some but it doesn’t have the core i3 so I have to assume it is lower on the scale but you are right it is hard to find what that really means. from my understanding the i7 is more efficient than the i5 or i3 so you will get more battery life and it is faster. I really like AMD but I don’t know anything about there new processes. My newest AMD it getting close to 2 years old.
I wouldn’t but anything thing with less that 4gb or ram unless it is very ease to add 2gb later.
so if it has 2gb and one free slot to add another 2gb later.
i7 is much better. I recommend it.
Oh, that chart is exactly what I was looking for. Considering that the AMD A8 is probably better than the older processor in the desktop that I am replacing, it certainly seems to produce a big bang for the buck. Now I just need to wait until the right system with the right price comes up.
I’ve got a netbook with the E350 chipset, not a powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination, but it will happily run games like Plants Vs Zombies, emulators and of course do things like email and web browsing. The low power means the battery life is good, and the graphics hardware means it will happily play HD videos..when I bother to download them.
Time for a walk. Then to clean the kitty box and take out the garbage. ooooh, my live is so exciting 😉
“my live is so exciting ”
Your “pre-recorded” ain’t to bad either toots!

The bunnies were out in force this morning. It’s getting quite hot already too (here in Canadaland 20C or 70F is shorts and t-shirt weather).
Now… bathroom, kitty litter, and other such fun stuff.
Obligatory funny Youtube pet video of the day.

Also time for the first ever Stroke by Stroke event. That’s where I play a game of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 golf on my Wii. I’m not that good so it should be pretty humorous.
I playing the west coarse at Wentworth as part of the London Inventational. Hole 1 is a par 4, 452 yards. Here goes the first shot.
course even.
314 yards and into rough. Thought I hit it well, but the announcers were pretty condescending. 140 yards to pin.
I’d say, “I’m here!”, but that would only be partially true.
“I’m partially here!”
Shot 2 into rough, but 30 yards to hole.
Shot 3 on the green. 14 foot shot for par, but the green slopes hard to the left.
Hit it to soft and it came up short. Tapped it in for bogey. Onto hole 2.
Hole 2 is a 131 yard, par 3 attempt. Small green, it needs to be accurately placed.
Overshot the hole by a tad, then chipped it 16 feet from hole. The shot looks fairly level.
Dropped it in for par. Current score +1.
Be, the ball, Rhetty. Be the ball.
It itches.
Hole 3 is a long 385 yard, par 4. Did I mention I have to hit it up a hill? Wish me luck.
Hmmm… Yesterday when I played this hole I ended up in the sand to the right so I aimed left of the fairway. Ended up behind a tree on the left side. Then hit a low 6 iron shot back into the fairway. 55 yards to the pin left.
On the green, but 22 foot putt. blech.
Hit it soft and came up short, then tapped in for another bogey. +2 for the round.
Hole 4 is a 463 yard par 5. Can anyone say Eagle? Yeah right, it has a hard dog leg to the left and I’m shooting into the wind.
A game play by play. A cool idea, Rhett :happy:
Thanks Bunny. 🙂
wOOt! 292 yards and I didn’t clip a tree.
On the green and 8 feet away for Eagle!!! Of course the hole is sitting on a 45 hill. Arrgh! Wish me luck, this won’t be easy.
Eagle!!! Woohoo!!! Happy Dance. Back to even for the day. Onto hole 5.
Hole 5 is a 161 yard par 3 attempt, which would be easy except the hole is surrounded by sand traps, aka bunkers.
On the green safely and 13 foot putt for bird.
I got a birdie? I got a birdie! -1 for the day.
Hole 6 is a 329 yard par 4. The wind is blowing to the SE at 3 MPH.
First hit 261 yards to the middle of the fairway. 71 yards to pin. The hole is up 8 feet higher than where I am standing.
So, in sad news: http://x.co/ZBkw
This super sucks for our community.
I know, I really liked Atomic Comics. Good thing there are two others that are close to me and are currently open.
That is pretty terrible news! The location by the PV Mall used to be such a great destination. I have such fond memories of my young son meeting Spider-Man there for Free Comic Day events. Boo.
Yep, we just went there a few months ago (the Mesa locations) and hung out with Boba Fett and got some freebies.
And in not sad news… basically neutral news:
I went to court for my photo radar ticket… they say to show up at 9am.. I’m like ok let’s get this done.
Yeah, I get there and they call me to schedule another day a month from now.
*le sigh*
Did you request that the photo radar be brought in for questioning? Everyone has the right to face their accuser.
I have no idea what I’m doing, to be honest. I am just gonna show up and try to look like an innocent person who would not go 11 MPH over the speed limit. Gah.. at 10 the radars don’t set off and for all I know, I was passing someone. grrr.
I got a photo ticket for running a red light in Orlando. I don’t remember running it, but the car in the picture was definitely mine. I’ve been told that they have the ability to set the timing such that the light can turn red while you’re in the intersection, which I could potentially have fought. Unfortunately, I have also been told that the $157 photo ticket does not get reported to my insurance and does not take any points off my license. If I had gone to court and lost (which I’m told EVERYONE does) the fine would have been doubled and there would have been a report to my insurance company and points off my license. I paid the ticket.
I think I’m gonna go back to bed.
Stupid list.
On the green again for another birdie attempt. 12 feet, but a fast, fast slope. Odds of making are slim.
[GetSmart] Missed it by THAT much [/GetSmart]
And 3-putted for bogey. *sticks tongue out* Back to even par.
Hole 7 is a 362 yard par 4 attempt. I have a 3 MPH breeze at my back. I have to clear a lot of cabbage patches to hit the fairway on this first shot.
Hit it too hard and ended up in the rough, short of the stream though. 101 yards to hole.
*golf clap*
I got within 4 feet of the hole! Then it rolled 20 feet away, stupid hill. Long shot for bird.
Ugly, ugly putting. Up the hill, down the hill. Up the hill, down the hill. Ended up with the dreaded double bogey. 2 over now.
Hole 8 is a par 4. I hit it safely to the middle of the fairway. 135 yards to pin, but stiff 12 MPH wind into my face. The caddie is giving me the pitching wedge, I’ll opt for a 9 iron.
It was still short and into the sand. 🙁 Should have when with an 8 iron.
Chipped it out of the sand to the edge of the green, then putted it inches from the hole, tapped in for another bogey. +3 for the round. Need some birds to take the edge off.
Am I the only one who now has *Stroooke me, Stroke me*
playing over and over again in their head?
I wonder if Billy Squire ever played golf.
Hole 8 is a 423 yard par 4, described by the announcers as difficult. Great.
Nice drive and right into the short grass. (TWSS)
152 yards to the pin, 5 MPH wind to the SW. Gonna stick with the 8 iron.
Hit it onto the right fringe of the hole. Have to chip it close if I want a chance for par.
4 feet to pin, but nasty, nasty slope.
Made it! +3 for the first half of the course. I need to do much better for the second half or the announcers will just be dicks to me.
Hole 10 is a 180 yard par 3. The fairways are narrow and I need to be mindful of hitting tree branches. Tricky first shot.
I thought it would go long, so I played it with a softer swing. Ended up short of the green in the rough. Again I hope for a close chip shot to save par.
CD: cooling heels at the cinema waiting for Cowboys and Aliens to start.
Had to goto a later performance, as nephew’s forced labour ‘job’ doesn’t finish till 3pm.
Tried to flop it and ended up on the other side of the green. Wow this is just like when I play real golf. 13 foot putt to save par.
Made it! Didn’t think I would. Still +3 for the day.
Yeah for a decent game Rhett. I guarantee it’s 100% better than I’d do :cheerful:
Lunch time!
Hole 11 is a 345 yard par 4. Short, but a lot of obstacles. Wind to my back at 8 MPH.
First shot, looked straight to me, but I ended up to the right of the fairway with a pretty substantial hedge in my field of view. 94 yards to pin, but hard to control hitting out of the rough.
Don’t believe it. Made it 11 feet from the hole, shooting for bird. Still a tough shot though.
So close, lipped the hole and fell short. Tapped it in for a par. Still +3 for the day.
If golf is a good walk spoiled, then what is Wii golf?
A good ass sit spoiled?
A way to avoid all that pesky “fresh air and exercise”.
And green fees.
Hole 12 is a 477 yard par 5. I’ve to get eagle here, but I don’t want to jinks myself. A bird would be nice too.
First shot was good, 280 yard drive or so. 187 yards to pin.
On the green in two! Another eagle attempt, but difficult 28 foot putt.
Got it within 1 foot of the hole and tapped it in for bird. +2 for the day.
Hole 13, another difficult par 4. 446 yards to the pin and obstacles to the right and left. The hole dog legs to the left.
I liked that shot. In the fairway and a clear 156 yards to the hole.
Second shot was not as good. Short of the green, but I missed the big tree to the left. Hoping for a close shot to the pin to save par.
Got it close, 7 feet, but slopes pretty hard to the right. Tricky shot.
Lipped it and tapped it in for bogey. Back to +3 for the day. I hope the other holes go better.
The leader of our official opposition just passed away from cancer. No matter what you think of his politics, it’s always sad when someone goes before their time
Hole 14 is a tough par 3. 147 yards, but severely up hill, as in 32 feet up hill. The tee off box sets behind a tall bunker, so you can’t see the hole from tee off position. Lots of trees and sand traps to avoid as well.
On the green, but hard sloping 19 foot putt for birdie.
Tweet, tweet
Don’t hit the bunny!
Who me? Never. 🙂
Argh, tapped it and it rolled down the hill off the green, chipped close and putted for one over. +4 for the day. I’d have to birdie the last four holes to end up even for the day.
The games I play aren’t the type that I can pause and Pan about
You would probably be better off with a daily gaming journal.
Hole 15 is again described as hard. 443 yards and par 4, the hole sets down 14 feet from where I’m teeing off. The announcer recommends a shot to the left.
On a related note, I ordered the super duper special edition a Skyrim today. Another $150 edition game. Hubby will be pleased :ninja:
Neato!
I ended up hitting it straight instead, there was a pretty stiff 11 MPH wind pushing me left anyways. Ended up in the center of the fairway. 158 yards to go and it looks like several tree canopies between me and the pin as well.
So I “punched” it, hitting a low ball under the trees, made it to the green but long 43 foot putt for bird. Honestly I’ll be lucky to save par.
Nothing spectacular. Putted close and tapped in for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 16 is an easier 341 yard par 4. Let’s hope so.
Played the first shot safe with a 3 wood. A driver shot could have pushed it into the ugly. 106 yards, clear shot to pin.
Stop me if you’ve heard this before. On but long putt for bird. 36 foot level shot.
Putted to two feet and then tapped for par. +4 for the day.
Hole 17, 535 yard par 5. Eagle attempt? It is a very technical hole, so I would say, not likely.
Bounced it out of the rough (and back into the fairway) on the first shot, but 288 yards isn’t bad. 270 yards to hole. Hmmm… could possible hit the green with a 3 wood.
Well, to the side of the green, in the rough. Maybe I can hit it close?
8 feet for bird.
Bird! +3 for the day.
Final hole. Par 5 478 yards to pin. Eagle? Let’s see how the first couple shots play out.
269 yards. 263 to the green. The announcers said it was an okay shot. =P
I’m on! 26 foot putt though.
Eagle! Finished with a +1 for the day. Much better than the +12 from a few days ago. Is it too early for the 19 hole?
It’s never too early for the 19th hole :happy:
Wiser words have never been spoken. LOL

Very anoying thing in Pandora:
“I love this song!!!!!”
Check the play list
“Hey that dosen’t fit this list”
Crap what to do now…
Pandora (the big interface on the computer, not the phone app) allows you to choose that you like the song but that it belong on a different station. I was really happy when they allowed that, because all my stations had been in the process of becoming the same thing.
Now I just use Grooveshark because I can choose what I want to listen to, when I want to listen to it. No Pink Floyd or Beatles, but I can always listen to them on my phone or at home or whatever.
Reaper: the next thing to do is use Grooveshark. Not as a Pandora replacement, but as an accessory.
And btw: I almost missed this exchange from earlier, which is a shining example of what is best in life:

“Portions For Foxes” – Rilo Kiley
There’s blood in my mouth ’cause i’ve been biting my tongue all week.
I keep on talking trash, but i never say anything.
And the talking leads to touching,
And the touching leads to sex,
And then there is no mystery left.
And it’s bad news, baby i’m bad news
I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
I know i’m alone if i’m with or without you,
But just being around you offers me another form of relief
When the lonliness leads to bad dreams,
And the bad dreams lead me to calling you,
And i call you and say “c’mere!”
And it’s bad news, baby i’m bad news
I’m just bad news, bad news, bad news
And it’s bad news,baby it’s bad news
It’s just bad news, bad news, bad news
‘Cause you’re just damage control
For a walking corpse like me,
Like you,
‘Cause we’ll all be portions for foxes.
Yeah, we’ll all be portions for foxes.
There’s a pretty young thing in front of you
And she’s real pretty, and she’s real into you
And then she’s sleepin’inside of you.
And the talking leads to touching, then the touching leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left.
And it’s bad news. I don’t blame you,
I do the same thing. I get lonely too.
And you’re bad news; my friends tell me to leave you,
That you’re bad news, bad news, bad news
You’re bad news,baby you’re bad news
And you’re bad news, baby you’re bad news
And you’re bad news
I don’t care i like you
And you’re bad news
I don’t care i like you

Interesting tech thing.
In a few weeks I am going to have to do some driving in a big city that is completely foreign to me … so I am using google earth to “virtually” drive the route ahead of time … familiarize myself with what the intersections will look like and such … and I have noticed that occasionally there will be a sign or billboard that has part of it blurred out.
This amazes me and 2 questions pop to mind –
1) What in the world do they feel like they have to censor? They don’t blur the image of the people on the street so why blur the face of the model on the billboard? What were the words the blurred out on what I thought was an informational sign? Hmmmm
2) Did some one really sit down and scan every one of these street view picture looking for this “non-viewable” content? Do they have a piece of software that can recognize just these little bits of images that they don’t want me to see … and then accurately JUST blur that bit.
I am agog at it all.
I believe that Google uses a software face recognition program to blur faces, which may explain why faces get blurred out on billboards. I’m not sure what other things rise to the level of getting blurred. I have observed that shows on the Discovery channel will often blur out t-shirts that have advertising on them. I guess they don’t want to give out free advertising. Not sure if the same thinking applys to Google.

Some of the group want to bid on bringing in the Aurora’s. The Cdn version of the Hugo’s. I’m strongly against it and said so. Now I seem to have created two factions, those for and those against. It will be interesting to see who wins.
Ah but why are you strongly against it?
Hummus made. Although I’m upset I forgot to get a red pepper when I went shopping earlier in the week so I had to make regular old hummus.

I had a weird occurance at the house yesterday. The large vanity mirror behind the lavatory sink in my bathroom came unglued from the wall. It dropped five inches and wedged itself behind the lavatory. It didn’t break, but now I’m trying to figure out who to call to remount it. Glass company, handiman? I suppose I could try and fix it myself, but I think I would need one of those suction cupped tools for moving large sheets of glass.
Isn’t something happening to the bathroom mirror a sign of a haunting?
Could be, I just need to make sure whatever adhesive I use to remount it with is ghost resistant. Funny thing about that is my wife reported some odd things happening to her when she traveled to a hotel in Fort Worth last month. I wonder if it followed her home.
My vanity comes unglued all of the time.
You might want to move your bed away from the wall.
That’s a poor reflection of your character.
Consider the other things we had to get fixed on our house, I wouldn’t be surpised if the mounted the mirror with wall paper paste.

It appears that the East Coast earthquake (!) was not harmful – – I hope our East Coast friends are all ok.
Lo Pan!!!!
My grasp of Canadian geography is limited at best, so asking TEB if she felt the Tremors from an Earthquake in Toronto might be a dumb question.
Yup. Dumb questions. We’re (almost) on opposite sides of the continent.
Thank you for letting me down gently TEB…
Insert smiley here —->
This is why You shouldn’t trust Facebook status updates..sheeesh.
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/Quakes/usc0005ild.php
Nothing in AZ. I don’t think it touched anywhere in Canada, not even the eastern provinces. TEB is pretty far out west.
Apparently there was also a fairly big one in Colorado last night?
There are certainly quite a few people on Facebook in the Toronto area claiming to have felt the tremor, I had forgotten how far west TEB was.
I hear it was felt in Ontario, so it was probably felt in some of the eastern provinces as well.
Alberta is further from the quake than I am, so TEB probably didn’t feel anything. Alberta is above Montana and is next to British Columbia, which is the west coast of Canada.

So far the biggest suffering from this is being endured by the TV news outlets who have gone to DEFCON BAZILLION on this and so far (thankfully) have nothing to show. There all on their zillionth interview with a person who can add nothing more than “Yes. I felt it.”
Let’s hope this continues to be nothing more than a novelty event.
Meanwhile a Hurricane bares down on the Carolinas.
A friend of mine got married this week and told nobody about it. We all found out when he and his girlfriend changed their facebook status. They went on holidays last week and haven’t come back yet. I always thought eloping was for the young. I guess I was wrong.
Good for them.
On a more sombre note, one of Mother’s relations whose husband had died, organised the funeral and told nobody about..
The point being the elderly show up youth as amateurs when it comes to weird notions.
Let’s go and show up some youth, Van 😉
That is sad
DEFCON BAZILLION is so going to be our. . . oh, never mind.
If there was ever a convention for the fans of Def Leppard, it should be called Def-Con.

Van, funny about geography. We watched this flick recently called Snow Cake. This British actor (guy who plays Snape) goes to Canada to visit someone and books his flight MILES and MILES away from the person and ends up driving for days. I won’t spoil the movie – was a good one – but it was funny geography-wise.

Today I learned that the secret to getting a six year old boy to practice his sight words is to let him say “FART!” after each one and laugh.
Don’t think you’ll see that one mentioned in the “how to raise your kids” section of the book store 🙂
Here is a reading tip for youngsters that I ran across.
Better reading through comics!
Check out ebay for someone selling large lots of Disney comics from the 70’s … if you can get like 20 to 50 of them, you might get them for like 50 cents a piece. Then you hand them out to your kids as rewards for good class work or whatever. Since they are mostly graphics … it helps the kids figure out what the words are.
Just be ready to explain that goof’s words aren’t necessarily “real” words. “Garsh!” 😉
