Hubby shaved his beard last night. He realized both his passport and his driver’s license shows him clean shaven and, knowing how anal the TSA can get, he thought he better match his pictures. He looks about 10 years younger without his beard.
Was today an UnShow? ITunes didn’t download anything and I don’t see anything on the board
Im sure its just a glich
You can’t play the episode from the website either.
Im sure…its just… a glitch.
I think I figured out what to give my SS recipient. I might wait a week to send it as I’m going to ship direct from Amazon. I find things are less likely to get lost that way.
Cheaper as well…
You are.
Was the woolly hat a giveaway?
I love the hat! It’s the peasant sandals.
Ve haff vays of making you talk!
Oh, not that SS. . .
I shot an email to Jack to see if he wants me to look into it.
D’oh! Error fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.
(It’s somehow appropriate that we finish up the DotF with a technical glitch).

I am thoroughly enjoying The Dark Tower series. I’m nearly done with the 6th book. I think this has really taken me down the Stephen King rabbit hole. I may need to go back and read all the other books that are referenced, referred to, etc, in this series.
I’ve just started ‘Mr Penumbra’s 24 hour bookshop’, forgot the author, the premise is intriguing.
Book store, more creeping Englishness
I know this joke is exhausted, but “The Creeping Englishness” should REALLY be our band name.
“This joke is exhausted” should be our debut album.
I finished Book III, but couldn’t make myself push any further.
I can’t imagine how Ron Howard is going to turn this into a film (or miniseries?)
lightweight!
I definitely recommend The Talisman to anyone that hasn’t read it (or to anyone that has for that matter). It is a Stephen King and Peter Straub collaboration. I can’t attest to who actually wrote what, but my impression is that King tends to over develop the characters and then squeeze all the “events” in his book into the end. Straub seems to keep King moving alone and the “events” are spread out more evenly.
CP: Falling Down — Oasis
They still haven’t cleared the snow from my place. Hubby is now ticked as he’s trying to figure out what we are paying them for. I needed to go out today so he’s also mad because I had to dig my car, out which I’m not suppose to do. I called them today and was told the crew was suppose to do it yesterday and she’s not sure why they didn’t. She was going to contact the crew and blah, blah, blah.
Hubby leaves town tomorrow for a week and will not have time to shovel today. We are both not happy.
But! I did get more Christmas cards while I was out today so tomorrow, after I get back from the airport, will be full of addressing goodness.
,,and it’s goodbye to Nelson Mandela:

About 10 minutes ago I called the clearing place again and threatened to not pay for December and, if the city came in, I would expect them to pay the fee. Guess who just showed up?
I know I may seem a little grumpy. I used to clear the walk when hubby was at work but, since my medical stuff, I’m not suppose to do anything that strenuous, which is why we hired outside help (that and the fact hubby often doesn’t get home until very late). The City of Calgary has a bylaw in place that you must clear your walk within 24 hours after the snow stops or you could get fined. Normally, after a snow storm like we just had, they are a little lenient however, my house is on the same block as a train station so they get a little more anal about the regulations since there is a higher pedestrian flow.
I see the episode came through. Will have to listen to it tomorrow.
Is anyone else still watching Homeland? It is SO NUTS.
I never got past the first few episodes.
I’m not caught up with this week’s episode, but I have been following it. Definitely an interesting turn this season…though hopefully we’re done with the family….though that would mean no more Morena Baccarain….hmmm.

Hubby and I had a huge parcel sitting on our back step this morning. Found the delivery slip and discovered it was for someone down the road. I plan to contact them but I think they will not be happy as it looks like it was full of fresh fruits and vegetables… now completely frozen. I’m sure some of them will be unusable once they thaw.

Not being allowed to participate in an event today due to humans who were being paid to complete the registration process … but when it became necessary for them to track down a charge number, weren’t truly interested in making it happen. They had 3 weeks to make it work. The event director even CALLED them last Wednesday to try and facilitate registration.
These humans are now spending more effort coming up with excuses as to why it wasn’t their fault than it would have taken them to complete the registration process.
I’ve been preparing for this event for months.
Maybe if my football team wins tonight, it will help to take some of the sting away.
That sucks, my friend.
Definitely sucks. I hope things get better for you.
Hubby’s flight cancelled again. It looks like tomorrow’s flight will also be cancelled. Looks like I have him home completely. Woo Hoo! …er… I mean… sorry he can’t make it 😉

Your crap joke for the day:
A farmer named Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with his pet dog.The dog finally died and Muldoon went to the parish priest, saying “Father, the dog is dead. Could you possibly be saying a Mass for the poor creature?”Father Patrick told the farmer “No, we can’t have services for an animal in the church, but I’ll tell you what, there’s a new denomination down the road apiece, and no telling what they believe in, but maybe they’ll do something for the animal.”Muldoon said “I’ll go right now. By the way, do you think $50,000 is enough to donate for the service?”Father Patrick replied “Why didn’t you tell me the dog was Catholic?”
http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02512/pope-arms-ring_2512927b.jpg
I’m pretty sure I first heard that one as part of a priest’s homily back in the 80’s

Crap joke for the day:
One day, a cat dies of natural causes and goes to heaven, where he meets the Lord.The Lord says to the cat, “You lived a good life, and if there is any way I can make your stay in heaven more comfortable, please let me know.”The cat thinks for a moment and says, “Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor.The Lord stops the cat and says, “Say no more,” and a wonderful, fluffy pillow appears.A few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident, and all of them go to heaven. Again, the Lord is there to greet them with the same offer.The mice answer, “All our lives we have been chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs, and even women with brooms. Running,running, running; we’re tired of running. Do you think we could have roller skates so that we don’t have to run anymore?”The Lord says, “Say no more” and fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates.About a week later, the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him snoozing on the pillow.The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him, “How are things since you got here?”The cat stretches and yawns, then replies, “It is wonderful here. Better than I could have ever expected. And those ‘Meals On Wheels’ you’ve been sending by are the best!”

I’m seeing my grandmother today. Because our family is pretty dysfunctional, my grandmother hasn’t told my mother about her health problems and doesn’t want me to. So my mother sent me some money to get some alcohol for my grandmother as her Christmas present from my mom. So, like a good daughter/granddaugher, I picked some up and will be taking to to my grandmother today. I just want you to know, $100 buys a lot of alcohol. I don’t even know if my grandmother can drink considering she’s on heart and other medication. This will be interesting.
Your Grandmother is dying, what has she got lose at this point by having something to drink?
True. Although, with what I got, she will be having more than just one drink. I just find the whole thing of her not wanting my mother to know amusing.
When I was at school a friend of my sisters father died suddenly. She was on holiday at the time and her mother refused to tell her till she got back from holiday.

Ahem – it is bittersweet for sure.
My amazing, wonderful, favorite of all time team of 6 people with whom I’ve worked for the last 4 years (give or take those who have come and gone) was dissolved and my duties at work were absorbed into an existing support team.
This left the 6 of us (my boss included) vying for alternate jobs throughout the company. Sadly 4 of us were unable to remain with the company. The 2 of us who did stay have received new positions in the same field (social media) with a bit of a bump. So, while I do miss my boss and co-workers dreadfully, I’m happy to say that I’m safe and sound and still employed. It only took 3 interviews to get here! Whew!

Your crap joke for the evening:
One day at the end of class little Johnny’s teacher has the class go home and think of a story and then conclude the moral of that story. The following day the teacher asks for the first volunteer to tell their story, little Suzy raises her hand.”My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road.”The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Suzy replies, “Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket.”Next is little Lucy. “Well my dad owns a farm too and every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched.”The teacher asks for the moral of the story. Lucy replies “Don’t count your eggs before they’re hatched.”Last is little Johnny. “My uncle Ted fought in the Vietnam war; his plane was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed with only a case of beer, a machine gun and a machete. On the way down he drank the case of beer. Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 Vietnamese soldiers. He shot 70 with his machine gun, but ran out of bullets, so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more. The blade on his machete broke, so he killed the last ten with his bare hands”.Teacher looks in shock at Johnny and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story.Johnny replies, “Don’t fuck with uncle Ted when he’s been drinking!”

And so it begins. I just tagged a bunch of you on FB, following a tag from Brian Brown. The theme is to name 10 books that have stuck with you in some way. These were my ten:
Sweet Thursday – John Steinbeck
Neuromancer – William Gibson
Burning Chrome – William Gibson
Islands in the Net – Bruce Sterling
System of the World – Neal Stephenson
Musashi – Eiji Yoshikawa
Lamb – Christopher Moore
Hyperion – Dan Simmons
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn – Betty Smith
High Fidelity – Nick Hornby
(intentionally passing on the obvious HHGTTG and LOTR)
Ignore, play along (even if you weren’t tagged), comment; it’s all good.
Man I wish I could name 10 books Ive read… my memory, she not so good
Oh, the bad memory is female????????????????????????????????
Does that mean it is a sinking ship?
A couple of factual books in this list:
2001 a Space Odyssey – Arthur C Clarke

Broca’s Brain – Carl Sagan
Days of Atonement – Walter Jon Williams

Man of Steel? Really?
I haven’t seen any of those, but want to see Man of Steel. We rented Girl Most Likely from iTunes, but my jalopy mother effing Comcast internet prevented us from watching it.
Man of Steel is excellent.
Apparently not to hipster-than-thou media critics.
I agree with the most-repeated complaint about Man of Steel (which is very spoilery), but otherwise, I thought it was a fantastic Superman movie. Even better than the Richard Pryor one.

Your crap joke before bed :
A young woman was so depressed that she decided to end her life by throwing herself into the ocean. She went down to the docks and was about to leap into the frigid water when a handsome young sailor saw her tottering on the edge of the pier crying.He took pity on her and said, “Look, you’ve got a lot to live for. I’m off to Europe in the morning, and if you like, I can stow you away on my ship. I’ll take good care of you and bring you food every day.” Moving closer he slipped his arm round her shoulder and added, “I’ll keep you happy, and you’ll keep me happy”. The girl nodded yes. After all, what did she have to lose?That night, the sailor brought her aboard and hid her in a lifeboat. From then on every night he brought her three sandwiches and a piece of fruit, and they made passionate love until dawn.Three weeks later, during a routine inspection, she was discovered by the captain. “What are you doing here?” the Captain asked.”I have an arrangement with one of the sailors,” she explained. “I get food and trip to Europe, and he’s screwing me.””He sure is, lady,” the Captain said. “This is the Staten Island Ferry.”

A crap joke for the morning:
A clown walks into a bar where there’s a guy sitting, just looking at his beer. After watching this man for some time, the clown decides to cheer him up. Going over, the clown takes the beer, holds it up in front of the guy, then drinks it down. The poor man starts crying and says, “This day is the worst day of my life. First, I’m late to work and get fired. My car has been stolen. I get a cab home and leave my wallet and credit cards in it. When I get home, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. So I come down here, and when I was thinking about ending my life, some clown shows up and drinks my poison.”
So two cannibals are eating a clown for dinner. The one cannibal looks to the other and asks, “Does this taste funny to you?”
The both of yous are going to the Hell of the Clown Coats

So for those silly Americans who are upset about losing Saturday service, We here in Canada haven’t had Saturday service for many a year and, starting next year, will be losing our door to door service. They are putting in mailboxes in the neighbourhoods that we will all have to walk (or drive) to in order to get our mail.
http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1058069
Now that sucks balls, hope the newly privatised post office doesn’t go down that route.
Pretty sure its less to do with losing a day of service and more to do with continued proof the government is in the shitter. So just cause you dontg have it… doesnt mean we have to tolerate not having it.
For me, it’s about the “turn-it-into-a-1%er-cash-farm-or-destroy-it-and-salt-the-earth” sentiment that seems to be running amok in this country.

A little girl says, “Grandpa, can I sit on your lap?”Why sure you can,” her grandfather replied.As she is sitting on grandpa’s lap she says, “Grandpa, can you make a sound like a frog?””A sound like a frog? Well, I guess Grandpa can make a sound like a frog.”The girl says, “Grandpa, will you PLEASE, PLEASE make a sound like a frog?”Perplexed, her grandpa says, “Sweet heart, why do you want me to make a sound like a frog?”And the little girl says, “‘Cause Grandma said that when you croak, we’re all going to Disney World!”

I sometimes worry about my hubby’s sanity. We were getting some beer and this is how the conversation went:
Hubby (grabbing a 12 pack box of beer): I don’t really like this beer.
Me: They why are you getting it?
Hubby: The one I want doesn’t come in a 12 pack.
Me (looking in the cooler): It comes in a six pack. Why not just get two of those.
Hubby: No. I want a 12 pack.
Me: *sigh* as hubby carries his twelve pack to the counter.
Guy logic –
“Because … 12 pack. “

I’ve always liked that one. I never truly got why so many people hated it. I especially liked the fact that Arnold could laugh at himself.
Excellent soundtrack.
It stumbles over some seriously awful Jar Jar-esque moments. The kid lead character is almost that dislikable.
That said, I can rattle off at least ten brilliant little moments from that film, and it’s been decades since I last saw it. If nothing else, Arnold introducing himself as “Arnold Braunschweiger” is enough to redeem it.

Next year, after the third Hobbit movie comes out, I’ll strongly encourage someone with lots of free time to phantom edit the three of them into one film, using only the scenes that match the actual book.
Watch out for rabid Peter Jackson fans.
I think that project is already underway. I thought I read something, but I can’t remember a source.
Though, I’ve read defenses of Jackson that these will probably be the last Tolkein movies he’ll be able to pull off. While people have at least heard of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, there’s not enough awareness of The Silmarillion and Lost Tales to get studio backing. So, Jackson is pulling from them now…and of course, making some stuff up on his own.
And there you go, Ed. I’d almost be ok with alllllllll of that extraneous stuff, if it had been plundered from Tolkien’s other writings, and not dreamt up by the PJ ego trust.
For all my nerd-bickering, though, the movies are still decent. I don’t regret seeing either one of them.

Um … “Though the lander can’t move, it will deploy a powerful telescope which will remain on the Moon, and can see much farther than Earth-based telescopes because there is no atmospheric distortion.”
It’s a telescope on the near side of the moon … the side that always faces earth. It will always have earth light shinning into it. At any times around “full moon” it will be absolutely overwhelmed with earth light and not good for anything unless you wanted to look at things on … oh. I see.
Well more a test of technology is the claim, the rover being the main focus, the telescope more a sideline.
Dumping the lander on the far side would be scientifically more fruitful, but needing more hardware (communication satellites orbiting the moon) to maintain contact.
Crap joke for the day:
One day a rather inebriated ice fisherman drilled a hole in the ice and peered into the hole and a loud voice said, “There are no fishdown there.”He walked several yards away and drilled another hole and peered into the hole and again the voice said, “There’s no fish down there.”He then walked about 50 yards away and drilled another hole and again the voice said, “There’s no fish down there.”He looked up into the sky and asked, “God, is that you?”..”No, you idiot,” the voice said, “it’s the rink manager.”

The bad news is that it’s been done. The good news is that it hasn’t been done well. I’m totally doing this, but I’m going to use graham crackers instead of ginger bread because ginger bread tastes like ass.

Sounds like you may just be getting the wrong parts of the gingerbread man, Used Hair.

I wonder what Gil Scott-Heron would have to say about the Chinese on the moon.
Why is it so dark in here?

Oh my God it’s full of stars.

Is Secret Santa strong enough for a man, but designed for a woman?
Well, my SS came through yesterday. Thanks so much! I look forward to reading them!
As for my recipient. . . it will hit the mailwaves today or tomorrow. Guaranteed.
If you asking if I wear pink then the answer is no.
I can only speak for myself of course.
It’ll be our secret, Santa.
Morning, Pan People. It appears that I left my cognitive function and fine motor skills at home today.

Thanks for the heads up. I won’t
Its just daddy long legs!
47 Ronin looks like ( from the trailer ) a film that went straight to DVD in the USA that’s getting a cinema release in the UK.
True or have I been sucking on the pipe too much?
Not released here til Dec 25. Its a goddamn travesty
Wow, does that look awful. It’s a travesty that this is how we’re bringing the legend of the 47 Ronin to American audiences…. That said, it’s a samurai flick on the big screen; I’ll probably be there. I know Pixie wants to see it.
It opened in Japan… in made 1 million dollars. Total.
See it when it comes out cause I give it a week in theaters tops
I WANT TO SEE IT!
I WILL SEE IT!
I think it looks interesting and I heart Keeanu
I think I’ll watch it, if only for the Keeanu.
RHETT!!!!!
Goddammit Rhett
Careful Pixie. That’s the mentality that got me to watch Catwoman. Just ’cause you like someone, doesn’t mean you will be able to tolerate the movie just because you’re seeing them.
Speaking of travesty… seems theyre rebooting the Naked Gun series. With Ed Helms.
As if the hangover movies weren’t torture enough.
Nah one was good. 2 was… the same movie. 3 was abhorrent
Also an apt description of the Naked Gun movies.

You would think after 5 years of wet shaving I would have the gnack of not cutting myself.

Can I apologize on behalf of fans, to Nirvana, Peter Gabriel, and Cat Stevens?
Hall & Oates, KISS, and Linda Ronstadt?! Eecck

KISS fucking blows. Theyve always blown. They will always blow.
Oh fuck you AV club… “Like, if you havent ever heard of the film its one of the best of the year”
http://www.avclub.com/article/the-best-films-of-2013-200655
I’m not sure how The Worlds End got on that list. Not because there’s anything wrong with it, just because it pulls a Seasme Street compared to the others
(One of these things, is not like the others)
What?
Imagine you’ve just said chocolate bar
Can you guess before my song is done?
(nah nah nah nah nah nah)
ANd now my song is done.
So that’s a no then.
My sentiments exactly. The AV Club is usually great stuff; they just gotta cut back on the hipster smarm.
So I will being working both Eves and Boxing Day.
Anybody ‘ho ho ho’ ing had better watch out.
Calling me grumpy would be an understatement.
Feel your pain. Absolutely.

Mike Holmes (Adventure Time) drew himself and his cat in the style of 100 different cartoonists. I’m pleased with some of lesser known and/or older people he chose to honor (e.g., Sam Kieth, Nicholas Gurewitch, Robert Crumb, Tex Avery, Genndy Tartakovsky, Berkeley Breathed, Edward Gorey, John Kricfalusi, and Tom Snyder).

That is some impressive versatility.
And, I should have mentioned – my DPSS gift arrived to me over the weekend. Many Thanks!
Hopefully, my delivery will be arriving at its destination soon, as well.
Up all night
Up all day…

” Probably the most important thing is that when things get really bad and the world looks its darkest, you just have to throw up your hands and say “Well, alright!” cause it’s probably gonna get a whole hell of a lot worse.”
-“Alferd Packer”
To the Googles!
“Alfred G. “Alferd” Packer was an American prospector who was accused of cannibalism during the winter of 1873-1874. First tried for murder, Packer was eventually sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted of manslaughter.”
To the highly recommended film!!!
