I would have written ‘Let there be light’ but that’s far too biblical for a Thursday Morning.
Still in the drk over here, Van. But fresh Pan in iTunes, so that is good,.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood….but not in my sinuses.
I’m too six-y for this post.
Morning Pan. Dark and LOTS of snow here.
Leaving in an hour to take hubby to the airport.
Bunny will be aaaaalllllllll alone for a few days 🙁
Will have to cuddle a teddy bear to stay warm at night.
party at TEB’s place !!!!!!!!
Yesterday I was rifling through a bunch a papers. My hubby asked what I was looking for so I told him my boyfriend’s phone number, since he was going to be away.
I got major tickles for that 🙂
Major Tickles is your boyfriend?
Much better than Major Hemriod.
Prepare plan H.
His cousin Private Tickles is the popular one though…
Depends on your preferences I guess … in some circles, Corporal Punishment is quite popular.
Well General Apathy couldn’t care less.
Well, that’s it. My man has left on a jet plane for California. Given that we’ve had 2″ of snow overnight and it’s still snowing, I wish I could join him.
J0e, Major Tickles is my nemesis.
Does anybody remember the cartoon Captain Caveman?
My parents were immigrants so I grew up with traditional food. So, supposedly “disgusting” food like haggis doesn’t really bother me.
46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Born in Michigan, raised in midwest.
Long live the Union, I guess.
I wouldn’t classify haggis as disgusting, just not something I’d expect to enjoy, a matter of the chef I am sure. I enjoy properly prepared liver which most folks would put in the category digusting.
60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Does this really count when you’re from Canada?
I can’t say I think much of the page’s logic because my choices were all US and occasionally Great Lakes area, but then my finally grade was just barely Dixie.
I had the same problem, Thomas.
Lunch Time!
Can I have a nap please, not long 15 minutes ought to be plenty fine.
Hmm, quiz blocked as “sexual material”
Just what kinda test is this?
🙂
89%
Surprise.
lol. Not really. 🙂
44% yankee…must be all that pop I drink.
^LOL
Ya’ll don’t make fun of me.
Wouldn’t dream of it. Then you’d lay down the smackdown on us all and that wouldn’t be pretty.
Being raised in Kansas, I sound like Bob Dole. So by definition I can’t make fun of anyone.
Just so long as you don’t say all y’all. 😉
I feel a mighty smackdown coming. (Notice I didn’t say “a-coming.”)
Yipe!
45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Huh, only had one or 2 southern leaning ones.
Should Private Parts be whistling Dixie?
Listening to Tag In The Seam #2. I admit I once tried to wax my beard. It was the most horrifying experience of my life. And according to my wife, one of the most hilarious.
52% Dixie, barely there y’all.
ditto – only if Dixie is into that.
“Whistling,” so that’s what they’re calling it now.
I got good lemonade, ah, dixie cups
All flavors and push ups too
I’m your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I’m passin’ by
60% Dixie.
Must be from my Grandmother. She’s from Mississippi. I always assumed I had that 80’s California skater dialect. But I guess when you combine “Dude” with “Y’all”…
Hmm, 70% Dixie for me. I’d best most of that comes from actually using y’all in a grammatically correct fashion.
I got the same result on the Yankee/Dixie quiz as Thomas and TEB (mostly Great Lakes-type answers, but still ended up in the Dixie category). My final score was 53% Dixie.
62% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
*high five* disgruntled scientist!!!
I still win!!
Wait, that’s probably not such a good thing.
Yay!!! Well being dixie may not be a bad thing either.
Right on for winning Leann 🙂 I think the southern girls have flavor, so says Frankie Beverly. So say we all 🙂
So say we all! 😀
Woohoo! Flavor!
Well ya’ll let me know if ya’ll ever wanna hear the true Southern speak. I have been exposed to that crap, my whole life yet have managed to half-way stay away from, unless I have been drinking or pissed off.
But can gladly whip it on and say my name like my mama, with THREE syllables.
yea
*sigh*
Is that a saltly with a bitter aftertaste flavour?
44% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
I noticed if you accidentally click compute more than once the score gets more and more heavily Dixie, until finally reaching 100%
Texas is a sick place…..at least the part where my head and chest reside.
meh!
Morning Pan!
Survived my night alone (barely)
# 69!!! Woot!
In the news today..
Intolerance is at the root of increased rates of violent crime victimization in the gay community, say advocates in the wake of a Statistics Canada study released yesterday.
Citing 2004 figures, the report states gays, lesbians and bisexuals faced higher rates of robbery and sexual and physical assault than heterosexuals – with the odds of being victimized by violence more nearly two times greater for gays and lesbians and 4.5 times greater for bisexuals…
The article goes on but I’ll stop there.
I can speak to this. About 10 years ago I had an acquaintance who was (still is) gay but was very discreet about it. Despite his discreetness, one night he came home to his apartment (late at night) and was jumped. Spent quite a long time in the hospital. It was at this point he decided, since being quiet about his sexual orientation didn’t work, he would let the world know. From then on, the moment anybody met him, they knew. He wasn’t quite “flaming” but still.
I just don’t understand the stupidity of some people (I’m talking about those that beat him up, not about my friend)
A Pennsylvania man who shot and wounded a police officer more than 41 years ago will stand trial for his murder following the officer’s death last year.
Prosecutors say the victim, Walter Barclay, died of injuries directly linked to the 1966 shooting.
William Barnes, 71, who served around 20 years in prison for the shooting and other offenses, was re-arrested last year and charged with murder following Barclay’s death.
Prosecutors say a urinary tract infection that afflicted Barclay was a direct result of his paralysis. That was caused when Barnes shot him in the spine during an attempted break-in Nov. 27, 1966
Judge Bradley Moss of the Philadelphia Court of Common Please sided with prosecutors, although he noted he had not found any other case in the US in which a suspect had been charged with murder so long after causing an injury.
-Calgary Sun
Ok, let me get this straight. The guy shoots someone, serves time for it. Then FORTY-ONE(!!!!), years later, the person shot dies, so they’re going to charge the shooter.
Does anybody else see the stupidity of this? (think time and money wasted)
that’s it. The rest of the news is just…news.
Oooh the sun is starting to come up. The sky’s all pink and orange and purdy.
I like em TEB, and I’m sure I wouldn’t dust my house with one.
I am in fucking FL… I hate FL… I want to get back to the south. Yes, FL is not the south. It is just hell… No where to park… Fuck this State and there beaches I never get to see.
Off to spend money.
Bye!
My silly hubby, who is currently in San Francisco, left his cell phone at school (work). I had to go pick it up, but it’s still too early to shop so I came back. Will go spend money in an hour.
Good morning, mush.
Mush! I say Mush!
Don’t get mushy on me!
Hey – this is like the thing you posted yesterday, TEB:
Yum! especially with chips (french fries but thicker) from a chip shop.
Dude, In Encounter at Farpoint, there is a dude who shows up twice in a skirt. What’s up with that?
Van, I know someone who was in London with a coworker and the coworker didn’t know what the peas were, so they told the coworker it was wasabi and they spread it all over their fish.
I just wish I had been there to watch…
Wasn’t a futuristic kilt?
My memories of EAF are unreliable due to the passage of time.
Croatian blues rocks! I think, of course they could be singing about shopping lists…
They talked about that skirt on Slice. Apparently it was seen only on that single episode and was to show the high level of acceptance of different gender roles in the 24th century.
Bit like Captain-I’llshaganythingthatbreathes-Jack in Torchwood and the new Doctor Who.
I’ve heard of Capt. Jack, but haven’t seen any episodes of Torchwood. But after two seasons of the new Who, I’m burnt out. I can’t watch it anymore.
Well I enjoy watching the new Dr Who once, but don’t bother watching it again.
I can think of worse shows (I’m looking at you Flash Gordon).
So mushy peas gets a Wiki page. Deadpan doesn’t.
Mushy peas is therefore greater than Deadpan.
Paris Hilton gets a Wiki page. Deadpan doesn’t.
Therefore Deadpan is not as slutty as Paris Hilton.
🙂
The third Season of the new Dr. Who is by far the best of the three.
Bad? Looks like it will spit out black holes at a rate of one per second, seems like a manageable rate.
You’re listening to Mack Jangan’s Pead Dan.
Maximilian!
Godot?
I’ve seen some shows about the construction of that super collider. They talk about building a thing many miles in diameter and they have to align the components down to millimeter tolerances.
Really Big Things and Really Small Tolerances are not a good mix.
I’d rather listen to the Black Hole storybook record, with the beep to prompt me to turn pages.
Holy crap, we are old.
Ed, I vaguely remember that movie, but have never seen it. Any good?
Ed – haven’t seen the thing in over a decade but my recolection is that it is GREAT parady fun. Sort of pre-Princess Bride-ish sort of thingy.
Not seen either movie.
I grew up listening to storybook cassette tapes, most of which had chimes to prompt me to turn the page. I had two big, colorful cassette players with functional microphones, which I used to record myself reading a book and narrating a tour of the house. With that in my background, podcasting (or, at least, contributing to podcasts) is a natural fit for me.
JfS: It’s available on iTunes! Sweet. When I was a kid, I played that over and over again. Maybe that’s why I don’t like listening to songs repeatedly now. lol
78’s? I remember when records came on wax cylinders…
Oh gawd I feel a monty python sketch coming on.
I don’t think that remix is all that bad. It certainly isn’t as good as it should be, but… oh wait… what the hell did they do in the middle there… Ugh. Never mind.
Van, I remember when we chiseled out our own music on clay discs and then threw them at each other to see if the song stuck!
Darcy says the storybook/records she had told her to listen for Tinkerbell’s little bells.
Darcy could post here without moderation but she likes giving dictation better.
Apparently Gatorade Tiger Cool Fusion tastes like ass-water.
Not that I really wanted to know that.
Oh wow. I just had a phone conversation with Jack Mangan.
That was intense. Like meeting Winston Churchil, or Abraham Lincoln. Only on a cell phone.
You have no idea how close I came to needing a new cellphone again. I really gotta get on this anxiety thing.
Oh wow. I just had a phone conversation with Dubshack.
That was intense. Like meeting Winston FDR, or Julius Caesar. Only on a cell phone.
Good talking to you, man.
Yeah… You can tell I don’t really… talk… to a lot of… people… heh…
LOL. I got that “wow, I’m talking to a celebrity!” feeling, too, when I talked to Jack on Skype right after I first installed Skype.
Err…..hello…yeah…good show….bye.
Winston FDR? Is that a new type of cigarrette? I’m just so uncool.
As for the movie, yes, it is definitely a farcical look at cowboy westerns.
Man, I had forgotten that was Sela Ward as the daughter. She must be older than I thought. Still looked pretty good back when she was on “House” a few seasons back.
Perhaps a future -apalooza candidate (Ruster’s Rhapsody, not House).
Which reminds me, did we settle on a movie for the next one? Is Eraserhead official?
Tweet: I’m leaving for my second public, group improv mission in just under 1 hour. I’m excited! 😀 I’ll let you all know how it goes.
You know, with the cross talk of 70’s disco and Buck Rodgers, I’m surprised on one thought to share this classic:
He is in the Chicagoland area shooting a kitchen Nightmares I think it was
ok thats all you get of us

In case anyone cares, with the latest of Adobe’s consumer level editors Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4, you can upload pics straight from the organizer to Flickr and videos straight from the time line to Youtube.
At least this time the sample tracks are full ones.
Dub it is okay… Most of the people I now call friends are people in around Podcasting… I talk to them only in slipper nipples and VMs… Who needs life if they got a podcast.

Vanamonde Dre wants to know when Dr Who season 4 is starting up. If you know this info.
thanks man
good night.. or uh I guess have a good day today while we sleep over here
I’ve seen conflicting reports that the start date for the new series of Dr Who starts on March 22nd or March 29th.
March 22nd is the Easter weekend so I’m betting on that start date.
Which is about when it’s due to start in the UK….
Leann you haven’t walked away if your still making nipples on this web site 🙂 Your nipples are aways welcome.
to paraphrase black hole…
“not to sound superior but I hate the company of truckers.”
I was talking about the UK PA, should be available via BT soon after it airs in the UK.
Ooops…[insert homer simpson smiley here]
I do remember hearing the officially The USA is going to only be a few weeks behind us this time round…
oh the joys of international data transfer…..
Thanks Van!
During season 3, I would see them available that evening here. Like I would just check at the end of the day they aired, and there would always be 1 available. God bless the brits for sharing! I love you guys! 🙂

Great you said boobs, now Hugh will be fixated.
Climb into my spoon! That spoon mashup ruled
*snap, snap, snap*

[tangent]
Speaking of boobs. clothes manufacturers never think of boobs. I just went to put clothes on cuz we have a friend stopping by and I put on this new really cute shirt I got at Target and it was obviously made for a girl who HAS NO BOOBS. what the fuck? I look obscene in it. I can wear this as lingerie when I want to get Hugh all excited, I can’t wear this in public!
[/tangent]
she just went to change shirts, and can I just say… I think that shirt was hot.
But she is right, I would prefer if only I had the pleasure of seeing her in it, not the whole world.
Ok I’m going to go back to thinking about her boobs again while I wait…
🙂
anywho, where were we? we are at giggles
comments = nipples
Hugh sez: fuck you too, Jack
Hugh sez: Leann, let the man touch your nipples. Don’t deny us our nipples, you know we need nipples.
Hugh has full access to mine anytime he wants

Month end so have to work today – bleh.
So far I’ve survived three nights without my hubby. Only one more to go:)
Well, it’s really happening here!
Waiting on reports I won’t receive until after lunch, so I think I’m off to play The Witcher.
Well, at least I can truthfully say I’m doing it for the children. From the looks of the boxes I just unloaded into the garage, I’m going to be doing it for quite a while.
Deadpan 89 continues…
1min 1sec of conversation
outrobabble
they will elaborate on it later
Smarty Hotties® agree, no one, no matter how “famous” has any right to treat you like crap
anyone that does something you like and you want to tell them about it, approach them like they are a real person, because they are real people, and they prefer to be treated as such. Hero worship gets old and no matter how many times you tell them you are their number 1 fan and you can recite every book/movie/commercial/tv show/album/song/ whatever they have EVER created, so can a lot of other people and at the end of the day who cares? They will never be your friend cause why would you want a friend who does nothing but worships you and agrees to everything you say? A true friend would tell you when you are hurting yourself or others, a true friend would tell you the truth about yourself. They have producers and labels and managers and people they pay to suck their cock for them on a daily basis, they may enjoy it once or twice from you, but then they will just move on to the next willing person.
Hugh sez: wow babe, nice rant
thanks 🙂 too bad no one will read it
Hugh sez: I read it
thats all the matters Hughie 🙂
Hugh sez: thats right babe. Now worship me, tell me how great I am and suck my cock
LOL!! oh Hugh 🙂

Hughs guess: he is coming back
Dre’s guess: he will not come back
now we listen and wait….
that be some fine guitar playing Mr Mangan
Hugh and I were just discussing my above rant and I want to add that it is ok to tell someone you love what they do, there is nothing wrong with telling them, hey that was a really fucking cool book, or that last record rocks dude, or whatever. Its what you say after that. I’ve met some of my music idols over the years, and I can call a few of them among my friends and I will tell them OMG I love your new record but then i can relate to them as a human being. There is nothing wrong with complimenting people.
On the flip side, it sucks when you genuinely approach someone to tell them Hey your book was awesome and they treat you like a piece of shit.. that sucks and that person should be smacked.
Hugh sez: I agree
the final contents of Vegas is j0e’s wallet. Poor j0e.
j0e, Leann and Jack came back after the music, therefore Hugh wins again
Hugh sez: w00t!
Well, i need to go tend to my lord and master now since he won the Smarty Hottie® Is Jack coming back after the music game™
if you need me I will be in shackles while Hugh has his way with me

No Jack, Thomas got a point last week not Vanamonde
It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…
It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?…
I’ve always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So, let’s make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we’re together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,
Won’t you please?
Please won’t you be my neighbor?
I’ll be your neighbor! 🙂
Tweet: One homework assignment down. Too many more to go.
There are several videos like this, all showing silly people who don’t do well under pressure.
Interestly enough, people were talking about Jeff Healy a couple of weeks ago over at the guitar website I visit. They mentioned what a great guitarist he was but that his health was failing. This should be an interesting week.
I know this is totally late but…
Awesome!! You will be my neighbor, Amy Bowen 🙂
Kickass!
Although it’s been out since 2005, just discovered thhis neat platform/puzzler called N at:
Jeff Healey was an extremely talented blind guitar player. I hadn’t heard about his illness. That’s a shame.
Happy weekend wishes to you too, ditto.
And welcome to Deadpanland, Evilshadowmuppet!
Yeah, I’m bummed about Jeff. He was great.
Welcome, Evilshadowmuppet!
Evilshadowmuppet: No one can ever be truly prepared for Deadpanland. Just have fun. 🙂
There, I did my duty and placed an X beside the candidate of my choice.

Now to rant…
While I have voted, Alberta is only expecting about a 30% voter turn out.
This ticks me off. I’m a firm believer that if you don’t vote, then you don’t have the right to complain about the government or its policies.
While I admit there are a few exceptions (like my hubby who is out of town and has been since before even the advance polling stations were open and won’t be home until after the polls close), I find it hard to believe 70% of the population has legitimate excuses.
The person at the local Husky said he can’t vote because he has dual citizenship and if he voted in either election he would lose that privilege. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know the law in that area but somehow I’m dubious as this is a provincial election not federal.
please continue, its nice to hear another country bitch about their elections for a while 🙂
TEB: I don’t know where he got that idea. As far as I know, it isn’t true.
I don’t think it’s true either, it’s just another excuse.
Bleh!
ok, I think I’m done.
Welcome to the comment board, Evilshadowmuppet!
Hmmm, I guess I should do some Deadpan-content recording tonight. I have some things in mind. 🙂
Ohh, I got a package in the mail.
My new pull up bar is here!
I’m off to find a doorway to put it on.
Bye!
Cool TEB, I’m on my four week of running and lifting weights. I’ve lost four pounds so far.
Bar is “some assembly required”.
Rhettro, I actually do a fairly heavy cardio routine of 1 – 1.5 hours a day, six days a week (although I didn’t do much while my husband was away 🙂 )
I find just looking at food makes me gain weight so I have to work quite hard to maintain my girlish figure.
Now I’m adding more weights (and the bar of course) to my routine just to mix it up.
Keep up the great work TEB. Currently I’m running (really running/walking) two miles a day and lifting every other day. Once I get a little stronger, I’ll increase it. My knees tell me every day how much of a 40 year old I am. LOL
I know what you mean, Rhettro. I prefer cycling to running since it’s easier on my knees. I’ve gotten out of my exercise regime, so I need to kick my own butt back to the weights.
A few years ago, my husband and I decided to get serious. We’ve always done the stationary bike but we bought a new programmable one, a weight bench and weights and I got some cardio DVD’s.
Of course, I’m not sure I liked the getting up at 6 am to work out before going to work but since we do it together it’s not too bad.
Didn’t need to lose weight (well, he didn’t anyway) but now, a few years later, we still notice the difference in our energy level.
As for running/walking. I find I have to do low impact work out for the same reason. Damn knees 🙂
Ack, Ack! just ripped my shirt trying to put this bar together (don’t ask me how).
There, bar is together. Will wait until hubby gets home before I put it up as he may have a specific spot he wants it (though most likely in the office doorway)
Now must go change my shirt for one without a hole in it. 🙁
You turning into she-hulk TEB?
Am I the only Deadpan couch potato?
On second thoughts don’t answer that question.
I was high and dry like the Kansas sky
If I ached for any more I knew I’d surely die
Night after night trying to get out of my skin
Day after lonely day
You’d send me back again
I have stood inside this prison
I have touched its stony walls
I know before you try to run
You gotta learn to crawl
I tried to leave it all behind me
I drove all night just to drive all day
But the walls of this prison still surround me
And I can’t break away
Melissa Etheridge — The Prison
No Van, I have no intention of bulking up (or is that hulking up?) As I said, we’ve always worked out, and I tend to get bored with the same routine day in and day out so I’m just mixing things up a bit.
TEB: that bar looks interesting. I might have to check it out.
Ditto, it’s really a nice bar, now that I’ve seen it up close. Very sturdy. And, in my mind a reasonable price. Especially now that the Canadian $ is at (or even a little above) the US.
Darn another comic book fantasy shattered.
To attach to the doorway, there are metal brackets that screw into the wall, just above the door jam. The bar just sits into them, so it’s easy to remove (as long as you don’t mind the look of metal brackets above your door 🙂 ).
Van, you want me green and bulky?
I prefer to be skin tone and curvy myself.
Hmmm, the wife might complain about the brackets, though I could really use a good pullup bar. She certainly wouldn’t complain about better shoulders. 🙂
I never thought She-Hulk was all that sexy either. Must be all the time I spent in the gym.
Nice bar. I want one. When I started working out (about the same time I started coming here) I couldn’t do an unassisted wide grip pull up or more than like, one dip.
I can do 3 sets of 10 dips no problem now, but those wide grip pull-ups are hard. I can do 5, 3 and 2 now. Then I do weigh 195+, so…
Chin-ups are way easier.
I was down to 189 in mid december, but then vacation and lack of rugby, then twisting my ankle has me back up to 197 or so….totally lame. Ankle feels better now, time to whoop myself into sexy-mode for Dublin!!
Hugh and I try to workout everyday.
We lift weights using a bowflex machine at home- and we alternate muscle groups
Then Hugh runs and I bike
Every evening we do bikram yoga
weekends we also do tai chi
Honestly at this point we are putting more focus on the yoga and tai chi then the weight lifting and cardio.
I like to try to go swimming a few times a week in the summer
Hugh did the bulk up thing. He was such a cute skinny guy when I met him. Then he bulked up to the sexy muscle hunk he is now 🙂
Ok I need to go jump in the lake or something now
bye
Well the green skintone would look ok TEB under sodium lights…
cough
Is it getting hot in here?
Wow. How many of those lights did you put up, Van?
Well, I’m off to see the wizard.
Ta.
Peace out, Ryah.
My weight is fine, but my stomach has gotten a little flabby. Hanz and Franz would mock me.
“Fiyah, Fiyah. Put it out. Put it out.”
canta per me ne addio
quel dolce suono
de’ passati giorni
mi sempre rammenta
la vita dell’amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addagio…
tempra la cetra e canta
il inno di morte
a noi si schiude il ciel
volano al raggio
la vita dell’amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addio…
Tweet: Just submitted two new pieces of Deadpan content. Yay! I love doing creative things. 🙂
I submitted something too. I hope it turns out funny. 🙂
I’m suffering a bit of a creative derth at the moment. I had a few ideas for content but forgot most of them. LOL I’ll try and jot some ideas down latter, probably nothing I can contribute this week.
Of course I just thought of something I could do for this week. LOL
Typical.
I’ll get it recorded tonight.
Sounds like the Deadpan is about to runneth over…
And that can only be a good thing. 🙂
Morning Pan. Tracy Hickman just announced that E. Gary Gygax has died.
That’s sad and a little freaky. While driving in today I was listening to Slice and they have that ad for Dragon Con TV or something, but it has a clip of Gary Gygax talking. And for whatever reason it reminded me of the Simpsons episode that had Gary Gygax and Al Gore on it. LOL
Why do I think Conan O’Brien could mimick that list and it would be so amazing the world would actually end for lack of anything funnier.
Morning Pan!
It’s a beautiful sunny day. I’m sitting here, eating a cheese omelette, listening to the birds sing. It’s so bright and sunny, I don’t need any lights on in the house. A nice change from the winter darkness.
While I didn’t put myself through school this way, I know my mother occasionally made a few extra dollars when I was but a tot and she was trying to put herself through school.
In other news. There’s talk of making voting mandatory. For our provincial election, Alberta had the lowest voter turnout in CANADIAN (not just provincial) history.
I loves my apathetic, red-neck province 🙂
Two street racers aren’t responsible for injuries suffered by an elderly pedestrian hit by one of their motorcycles, a judge ruled yesterday.
Justice Peter McIntyre said Harvey David, 79, was to blame for the crash which hospitalized him. He later died there after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
But McIntyre did find both Jacob Bjerknes, 29 and Lindsey Conroy, 28, guilty of dangerous driving for speeding down busy 17 Ave S.W. during a spring evening three years ago.
McIntyre acquitted the two Calgary men of the more serious charges of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing bodily harm, ruling David was responsible for the crash.
Bjerknes collided with David as the elderly man was trying ot cross the street, breaking his leg and fracturing two ribs.
David died days after the crash
– Calgary Sun
Wait a minute. If I want to cross the street, I now have to watch for the illegal street racers or it’s my own fault they hit me????
What’s wrong with this picture?
Subconsciously, I think I noticed each one of those expressions as odd.
Dub, I went back and listened to Tag #2 this morning. I think Leann is the only person that can make the subject of body hair entertaining. LOL
On DnD, I had a friend introduce me to DnD when I was 11, I was hooked. But he moved away and I didn’t get back into it until 7th grade. I bought the basic books and played a few games. But it wasn’t until I was a junior in high school that I ever got into a regular weekly game. That was awesome, 7 player game with girls and boys really entertaining. Didn’t play again until I was 28 and met someone who was heavily into Rolemaster. So my wife and I spent a summer playing Rolemaster on Saturdays with another couple and a few friends. Fun but time consuming. I still buy books about role playing, but mostly just for reading, I’m not sure I would make the best game master, but I love to play.
That’s it for the news. Now to work 🙂
My husband and I try to play every Saturday. It’s not always D & D (right now it’s thrilling tales) but we try to do some form of role playing.
On Fridays we have a bunch of people over and do table top games, such as Killer Bunnies, any of the Catan games, Kill Doctor Lucky, Ticket to Ride, etc.
Anybody know of a converter for AMR audio files? a linux one would be nice.
I know they have been claims that elections have been lost due to bad weather in the UK, where voters of one party don’t turn in the same numbers in bad weather.
Compulsory voting would stop a lot of that.
Hi guys, how are y’all?
I’ve never played D&D. But I’m sure you’re not suprised. I’ve never played anything except solitaire.
Van: I think they played that Coke ad during the Superbowl.
As a teenager, I played quite a bit of D&D, stopped for a while, and then played a bit again during college. I haven’t played since, other than video games. Like Rhettro, I do enjoy picking up the manuals from time to time.
Some of the 4th ed changes sound interesting. I might have to give it a try, but considering the lack of free time that I have, I don’t see how.
Good to see you Dre, you know I think there are some additional rules that govern sex play into DnD. I’m almost 100 percent sure there are unofficial rules that govern that. LOL
Well there’s a long tradition of scantily clad women in depicted in scifi and fantasy art. Boris Vallejo’s work springs to mind:
I was kinda thinking as you moved around to each room or whatever you have to have sex with everything in the room in order to pass.. and you get points for different methods, positions that sort of thing.
And you pick up toys as you go. You start with a box of condoms and handcuffs or something like that. LOL
And when you picked what you are, you can have differnt levels of perversion or something
Wow I need to make this game up!
Hi Rhett, its good to see you too 🙂
you can get points for the most variety of species, the best use off all your ummm.. holes and limbs.. LOL
That one way to rack up “experience” points. LOL
You can make the wizard throw Orgasmballs instead of Fireballs. 🙂
I want to be a Nymph with +10 oral points and +5 bondage and +15 boobs or something like that
🙂
Let your imagination run wild.
Enchanted cock rings.
Staffs of… something.
Save verses V.D.
I’m not going to Google for “Dungeon and Dragons rules for sex” while at work though. I’m sure you would get pages of rules. LOL
Orgasmballs I like that
Don’t you give your characters a class in D&D
It can be Dominant class, Submissive class, street whore class, dominatrix class, gentlemen caller class, stripper class
She does have a mind for role playing! LOL Speaking of work, got a ton to do. Back a little later. Have fun.
enchanted cock rings!?! *swooon*
Can I get 1 of those for Hugh?
work = boo
🙁
ok. I’ll have to entertain myself
OH! Definitely need masturbation points
When you finally fucked the Orc to death you get a rabbit vibrator 🙂
and your goal is to reach the golden vibrating nipple clamps at the end
and you have to endure the master of cunninglingus (spelling?) for 30 minutes without cuming in order to make it to the orgy level
ok I’ve smuttied up deadpan enough for the day
I’ll do my work now 🙁
LOL
my nymph character also has +30 kegel strength.. LOL
Ok this has gone too far
sorry 🙂
and nipple resiliancy of +10 which should withstand any clamps up to +10 strength
When you make your billions from the game invention, don’t forget all of us little people back at the Deadpan 🙂
I think you’d be most successful taking such a concept to online multiplayer. Your company would quickly become bigger than Google.
Hugh’s “rod” has +50 strength
Ed- maybe I will 🙂
Shit. maybe I WILL. I need a web designer.. wheres that Jeremy!
Oh, it’s a much brighter day here in Texas now that the political wolfpack has picked our carcass clean of votes and has moved on in search of new meat.
firsties!
Morning Pan, and today there is Sunshine..wahoo!
I would have written ‘Let there be light’ but that’s far too biblical for a Thursday Morning.
Still in the drk over here, Van. But fresh Pan in iTunes, so that is good,.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood….but not in my sinuses.
I’m too six-y for this post.
Morning Pan. Dark and LOTS of snow here.
Leaving in an hour to take hubby to the airport.
Bunny will be aaaaalllllllll alone for a few days 🙁
Will have to cuddle a teddy bear to stay warm at night.
party at TEB’s place !!!!!!!!
Yesterday I was rifling through a bunch a papers. My hubby asked what I was looking for so I told him my boyfriend’s phone number, since he was going to be away.
I got major tickles for that 🙂
Major Tickles is your boyfriend?
Much better than Major Hemriod.
Prepare plan H.
His cousin Private Tickles is the popular one though…
Depends on your preferences I guess … in some circles, Corporal Punishment is quite popular.
Well General Apathy couldn’t care less.
Well, that’s it. My man has left on a jet plane for California. Given that we’ve had 2″ of snow overnight and it’s still snowing, I wish I could join him.
J0e, Major Tickles is my nemesis.
Does anybody remember the cartoon Captain Caveman?
I see he’s been here. 😉
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD36ZhpHPpE
Yep. Captain Caveman was pretty funny.
These guys aren’t apathetic at all.
Cutting down a tree with a gatling gun
http://gizmodo.com/361730/mythbusters-kari-byron-chops-down-trees-with-a-gatling-gun-in-45-seconds
They used that gun to kill a fish in a barrel once. It wasn’t a pretty sight
I bet not. Easy way to make shredded fish, but not much left that would be worth eating.
Trust the Gorton’s fisherman.
Got to see that episode a few weeks ago when it ran – that is one sweet piece of firepower.
It’s interesting that they have to go to Arizona to use it because of it supposedly being illegal in Kalifornia.
ummmm…yum?

I’ve enjoyed haggis before.
This would be a cool place to shop

charting the hits
http://www.flickr.com/groups/songchart/pool/
can you tell I’m avoiding work?
Well here’s something to keep you busy for about a minute, TEB:
http://www.angelfire.com/ak2/intelligencerreport/yankee_dixie_quiz.html
How the hell did I end up 63% Dixie?
I blame Leann.
ditto, has anyone really enjoyed haggis?
45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
My parents were immigrants so I grew up with traditional food. So, supposedly “disgusting” food like haggis doesn’t really bother me.
46% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Born in Michigan, raised in midwest.
Long live the Union, I guess.
I wouldn’t classify haggis as disgusting, just not something I’d expect to enjoy, a matter of the chef I am sure. I enjoy properly prepared liver which most folks would put in the category digusting.
60% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.
Does this really count when you’re from Canada?
I can’t say I think much of the page’s logic because my choices were all US and occasionally Great Lakes area, but then my finally grade was just barely Dixie.
I had the same problem, Thomas.
Lunch Time!
Can I have a nap please, not long 15 minutes ought to be plenty fine.
Hmm, quiz blocked as “sexual material”
Just what kinda test is this?
🙂
89%
Surprise.
lol. Not really. 🙂
44% yankee…must be all that pop I drink.
^LOL
Ya’ll don’t make fun of me.
Wouldn’t dream of it. Then you’d lay down the smackdown on us all and that wouldn’t be pretty.
Being raised in Kansas, I sound like Bob Dole. So by definition I can’t make fun of anyone.
Just so long as you don’t say all y’all. 😉
I feel a mighty smackdown coming. (Notice I didn’t say “a-coming.”)
Yipe!
45% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
Huh, only had one or 2 southern leaning ones.
Should Private Parts be whistling Dixie?
Listening to Tag In The Seam #2. I admit I once tried to wax my beard. It was the most horrifying experience of my life. And according to my wife, one of the most hilarious.
52% Dixie, barely there y’all.
ditto – only if Dixie is into that.
“Whistling,” so that’s what they’re calling it now.
I got good lemonade, ah, dixie cups
All flavors and push ups too
I’m your ice cream man, baby, stop me when I’m passin’ by
60% Dixie.
Must be from my Grandmother. She’s from Mississippi. I always assumed I had that 80’s California skater dialect. But I guess when you combine “Dude” with “Y’all”…
Hmm, 70% Dixie for me. I’d best most of that comes from actually using y’all in a grammatically correct fashion.
I got the same result on the Yankee/Dixie quiz as Thomas and TEB (mostly Great Lakes-type answers, but still ended up in the Dixie category). My final score was 53% Dixie.
62% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!
*high five* disgruntled scientist!!!
I still win!!
Wait, that’s probably not such a good thing.
Yay!!! Well being dixie may not be a bad thing either.
Right on for winning Leann 🙂 I think the southern girls have flavor, so says Frankie Beverly. So say we all 🙂
So say we all! 😀
Woohoo! Flavor!
Well ya’ll let me know if ya’ll ever wanna hear the true Southern speak. I have been exposed to that crap, my whole life yet have managed to half-way stay away from, unless I have been drinking or pissed off.
But can gladly whip it on and say my name like my mama, with THREE syllables.
yea
*sigh*
Is that a saltly with a bitter aftertaste flavour?
44% (Yankee). Barely into the Yankee category.
I noticed if you accidentally click compute more than once the score gets more and more heavily Dixie, until finally reaching 100%
Texas is a sick place…..at least the part where my head and chest reside.
meh!
Morning Pan!
Survived my night alone (barely)
# 69!!! Woot!
In the news today..
Intolerance is at the root of increased rates of violent crime victimization in the gay community, say advocates in the wake of a Statistics Canada study released yesterday.
Citing 2004 figures, the report states gays, lesbians and bisexuals faced higher rates of robbery and sexual and physical assault than heterosexuals – with the odds of being victimized by violence more nearly two times greater for gays and lesbians and 4.5 times greater for bisexuals…
The article goes on but I’ll stop there.
I can speak to this. About 10 years ago I had an acquaintance who was (still is) gay but was very discreet about it. Despite his discreetness, one night he came home to his apartment (late at night) and was jumped. Spent quite a long time in the hospital. It was at this point he decided, since being quiet about his sexual orientation didn’t work, he would let the world know. From then on, the moment anybody met him, they knew. He wasn’t quite “flaming” but still.
I just don’t understand the stupidity of some people (I’m talking about those that beat him up, not about my friend)
A Pennsylvania man who shot and wounded a police officer more than 41 years ago will stand trial for his murder following the officer’s death last year.
Prosecutors say the victim, Walter Barclay, died of injuries directly linked to the 1966 shooting.
William Barnes, 71, who served around 20 years in prison for the shooting and other offenses, was re-arrested last year and charged with murder following Barclay’s death.
Prosecutors say a urinary tract infection that afflicted Barclay was a direct result of his paralysis. That was caused when Barnes shot him in the spine during an attempted break-in Nov. 27, 1966
Judge Bradley Moss of the Philadelphia Court of Common Please sided with prosecutors, although he noted he had not found any other case in the US in which a suspect had been charged with murder so long after causing an injury.
-Calgary Sun
Ok, let me get this straight. The guy shoots someone, serves time for it. Then FORTY-ONE(!!!!), years later, the person shot dies, so they’re going to charge the shooter.
Does anybody else see the stupidity of this? (think time and money wasted)
that’s it. The rest of the news is just…news.
Oooh the sun is starting to come up. The sky’s all pink and orange and purdy.
wow, somebody has talent
http://www.tammyboland.com/gallery.htm
I like em TEB, and I’m sure I wouldn’t dust my house with one.
I am in fucking FL… I hate FL… I want to get back to the south. Yes, FL is not the south. It is just hell… No where to park… Fuck this State and there beaches I never get to see.
Off to spend money.
Bye!
My silly hubby, who is currently in San Francisco, left his cell phone at school (work). I had to go pick it up, but it’s still too early to shop so I came back. Will go spend money in an hour.
Good morning, mush.
Mush! I say Mush!
Don’t get mushy on me!
Hey – this is like the thing you posted yesterday, TEB:
http://jamphat.com/rap/
Glad to see charts actually have a real purpose 🙂
alright, really leaving now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushy_peas
Yum! especially with chips (french fries but thicker) from a chip shop.
Dude, In Encounter at Farpoint, there is a dude who shows up twice in a skirt. What’s up with that?
Van, I know someone who was in London with a coworker and the coworker didn’t know what the peas were, so they told the coworker it was wasabi and they spread it all over their fish.
I just wish I had been there to watch…
Wasn’t a futuristic kilt?
My memories of EAF are unreliable due to the passage of time.
Croatian blues rocks! I think, of course they could be singing about shopping lists…
http://www.goluban.com/CMS/0111/Default.aspx?EID=3961
They talked about that skirt on Slice. Apparently it was seen only on that single episode and was to show the high level of acceptance of different gender roles in the 24th century.
Bit like Captain-I’llshaganythingthatbreathes-Jack in Torchwood and the new Doctor Who.
I’ve heard of Capt. Jack, but haven’t seen any episodes of Torchwood. But after two seasons of the new Who, I’m burnt out. I can’t watch it anymore.
Well I enjoy watching the new Dr Who once, but don’t bother watching it again.
I can think of worse shows (I’m looking at you Flash Gordon).
So mushy peas gets a Wiki page. Deadpan doesn’t.
Mushy peas is therefore greater than Deadpan.
Paris Hilton gets a Wiki page. Deadpan doesn’t.
Therefore Deadpan is not as slutty as Paris Hilton.
🙂
The third Season of the new Dr. Who is by far the best of the three.
I’m not really sure the world wants a new B-52’s album
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/48984-the-b-52s-cindy-wilson-talks-new-record
But who wouldn’t want a B-52’s hairdo?
Speaking of hairdo’s, I believe there is a wiki page on bikini waxing. Probably NSFW.
I thought about getting a brazillian once…
Which is kinda absurd, aren’t bikini’s shiny enough?
Me too, but it’s an expensive plane ticket.
Speaking of bad ideas:
http://www.myconfinedspace.com/watermark.php?src=wp-content/uploads/2008/02/colider.jpg
Bad? Looks like it will spit out black holes at a rate of one per second, seems like a manageable rate.
You’re listening to Mack Jangan’s Pead Dan.
Maximilian!
Godot?
I’ve seen some shows about the construction of that super collider. They talk about building a thing many miles in diameter and they have to align the components down to millimeter tolerances.
Really Big Things and Really Small Tolerances are not a good mix.
Alright, quiz time. Who else has seen this movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089945/
I was surprised that several of my coworkers had never heard of it.
You’ll have to put me in the never heard of it catagory. Shame though. Mmmmm… Sela Ward.
I’m in the same category.
However the good Pavlov dog that I am, at Jac’sk R=reference to The Black Hole Movie, I started humming the theme tune.
To the Black Hole movie and not Rustler’s Rhapsody, which I haven’t seen.
I realised I mentioned that fact twice, but thought it was important enough to repeat…
I need to see the Black Hole again.
I’m tempted to put the BH soundtrack album on…
Hopefully that Red Dwarf reference slipped under the radar.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Black-Hole/dp/B000S47CGI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1204324973&sr=8-1
Amazon is good in a pinch.
I’d rather listen to the Black Hole storybook record, with the beep to prompt me to turn pages.
Holy crap, we are old.
Ed, I vaguely remember that movie, but have never seen it. Any good?
Ed – haven’t seen the thing in over a decade but my recolection is that it is GREAT parady fun. Sort of pre-Princess Bride-ish sort of thingy.
Not seen either movie.
I grew up listening to storybook cassette tapes, most of which had chimes to prompt me to turn the page. I had two big, colorful cassette players with functional microphones, which I used to record myself reading a book and narrating a tour of the house. With that in my background, podcasting (or, at least, contributing to podcasts) is a natural fit for me.

And by 45’s I mean theses:

Not these:

Yep. I remember those too. And I had a bunch of 78’s.

beep – beep – boop
I had “Planet of the HooJibs”
when you HEAR!! (dumbass)
Does anyone else remember this?
http://www.last.fm/music/Hot+Butter/_/Popcorn
Holy crap! The cover brings back memories:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Planet_of_the_Hoojibs
Your children’s book called you dumbass? That’s pretty hard core.
Totally remember that ditto, infact it was going through my head as soon as I saw the link.
Those were a bit after my time, but looked cool. If I wanted a book, I had to go to the library.
That does make me nostalgic for record books Jeremy.
Ick! There is a really bad techno mix of it:
http://www.last.fm/music/Hot+Butter/+videos/+1-eAc0CWdfb1c
*epic cringe!
JfS: It’s available on iTunes! Sweet. When I was a kid, I played that over and over again. Maybe that’s why I don’t like listening to songs repeatedly now. lol
78’s? I remember when records came on wax cylinders…
Oh gawd I feel a monty python sketch coming on.
I don’t think that remix is all that bad. It certainly isn’t as good as it should be, but… oh wait… what the hell did they do in the middle there… Ugh. Never mind.
Van, I remember when we chiseled out our own music on clay discs and then threw them at each other to see if the song stuck!
Wow! Buck Rogers on CBS.com!!
This is the one I remember:

Nostalgia overload… remember watching Cosmos with my Dad, he bought me the book that accompanied the series, still got the book.
Anyway the wind is howling, the temperature is falling, and I’m off to bed.
Night pan.
Same here, Van. . . fond memories of watching Cosmos with my dad.
I had this book when I was a kid. It was hard to find for my little ones, but I finally found a used one a few years back on Amazon.

Darcy is 57% Dixie, apparently
Darcy says the storybook/records she had told her to listen for Tinkerbell’s little bells.
Darcy could post here without moderation but she likes giving dictation better.
Apparently Gatorade Tiger Cool Fusion tastes like ass-water.
Not that I really wanted to know that.
Oh wow. I just had a phone conversation with Jack Mangan.
That was intense. Like meeting Winston Churchil, or Abraham Lincoln. Only on a cell phone.
You have no idea how close I came to needing a new cellphone again. I really gotta get on this anxiety thing.
Oh wow. I just had a phone conversation with Dubshack.
That was intense. Like meeting Winston FDR, or Julius Caesar. Only on a cell phone.
Good talking to you, man.
Yeah… You can tell I don’t really… talk… to a lot of… people… heh…
LOL. I got that “wow, I’m talking to a celebrity!” feeling, too, when I talked to Jack on Skype right after I first installed Skype.
Err…..hello…yeah…good show….bye.
Winston FDR? Is that a new type of cigarrette? I’m just so uncool.
As for the movie, yes, it is definitely a farcical look at cowboy westerns.
Man, I had forgotten that was Sela Ward as the daughter. She must be older than I thought. Still looked pretty good back when she was on “House” a few seasons back.
Perhaps a future -apalooza candidate (Ruster’s Rhapsody, not House).
Which reminds me, did we settle on a movie for the next one? Is Eraserhead official?
Tweet: I’m leaving for my second public, group improv mission in just under 1 hour. I’m excited! 😀 I’ll let you all know how it goes.
You know, with the cross talk of 70’s disco and Buck Rodgers, I’m surprised on one thought to share this classic:

“Winston FDR” — hehehehe. Always double-check your edit when you cut-and-paste.
We should finalize our next movie, shouldn’t we?

Vanamonde Dre wants to know when Dr Who season 4 is starting up. If you know this info.
thanks man
good night.. or uh I guess have a good day today while we sleep over here
I’ve seen conflicting reports that the start date for the new series of Dr Who starts on March 22nd or March 29th.
March 22nd is the Easter weekend so I’m betting on that start date.
Which is about when it’s due to start in the UK….
Leann you haven’t walked away if your still making nipples on this web site 🙂 Your nipples are aways welcome.
to paraphrase black hole…
“not to sound superior but I hate the company of truckers.”
I was talking about the UK PA, should be available via BT soon after it airs in the UK.
Ooops…[insert homer simpson smiley here]
I do remember hearing the officially The USA is going to only be a few weeks behind us this time round…
oh the joys of international data transfer…..
Thanks Van!
During season 3, I would see them available that evening here. Like I would just check at the end of the day they aired, and there would always be 1 available. God bless the brits for sharing! I love you guys! 🙂

Speaking of boobs. clothes manufacturers never think of boobs. I just went to put clothes on cuz we have a friend stopping by and I put on this new really cute shirt I got at Target and it was obviously made for a girl who HAS NO BOOBS. what the fuck? I look obscene in it. I can wear this as lingerie when I want to get Hugh all excited, I can’t wear this in public!
[/tangent]
she just went to change shirts, and can I just say… I think that shirt was hot.
But she is right, I would prefer if only I had the pleasure of seeing her in it, not the whole world.
Ok I’m going to go back to thinking about her boobs again while I wait…

Deadpan 89 continues…
1min 1sec of conversation
outrobabble
they will elaborate on it later
Smarty Hotties® agree, no one, no matter how “famous” has any right to treat you like crap
anyone that does something you like and you want to tell them about it, approach them like they are a real person, because they are real people, and they prefer to be treated as such. Hero worship gets old and no matter how many times you tell them you are their number 1 fan and you can recite every book/movie/commercial/tv show/album/song/ whatever they have EVER created, so can a lot of other people and at the end of the day who cares? They will never be your friend cause why would you want a friend who does nothing but worships you and agrees to everything you say? A true friend would tell you when you are hurting yourself or others, a true friend would tell you the truth about yourself. They have producers and labels and managers and people they pay to suck their cock for them on a daily basis, they may enjoy it once or twice from you, but then they will just move on to the next willing person.
Hugh sez: wow babe, nice rant
thanks 🙂 too bad no one will read it
Hugh sez: I read it
thats all the matters Hughie 🙂
Hugh sez: thats right babe. Now worship me, tell me how great I am and suck my cock
LOL!! oh Hugh 🙂

now we listen and wait….
that be some fine guitar playing Mr Mangan
Hugh and I were just discussing my above rant and I want to add that it is ok to tell someone you love what they do, there is nothing wrong with telling them, hey that was a really fucking cool book, or that last record rocks dude, or whatever. Its what you say after that. I’ve met some of my music idols over the years, and I can call a few of them among my friends and I will tell them OMG I love your new record but then i can relate to them as a human being. There is nothing wrong with complimenting people.
On the flip side, it sucks when you genuinely approach someone to tell them Hey your book was awesome and they treat you like a piece of shit.. that sucks and that person should be smacked.
Hugh sez: I agree
the final contents of Vegas is j0e’s wallet. Poor j0e.
j0e, Leann and Jack came back after the music, therefore Hugh wins again
Hugh sez: w00t!

It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood,

Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,

Yes, you should watch Super Troopers meow.
Yeah, the nothing-but-stache look doesn’t work so well for me. How funny is Leann’s photoshopped picture?
Ed: that playset is awesome. Way to go, Superdad.

Today we vote for our new Premier (think governor). Our lives are so, exciting.
Hmm, Jeff Healey died of cancer. He was only 41.
– Wait, that’s my age….ug, ekk ack 😯
Actually I lied, I’ve still got six months to live 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-fhczVB5XI&feature=related
There are several videos like this, all showing silly people who don’t do well under pressure.
Interestly enough, people were talking about Jeff Healy a couple of weeks ago over at the guitar website I visit. They mentioned what a great guitarist he was but that his health was failing. This should be an interesting week.
I know this is totally late but…
Awesome!! You will be my neighbor, Amy Bowen 🙂
Kickass!

Hope you had a good weekend. 🙂
Jeff Healey was an extremely talented blind guitar player. I hadn’t heard about his illness. That’s a shame.
Happy weekend wishes to you too, ditto.

Now to rant…
While I have voted, Alberta is only expecting about a 30% voter turn out.
This ticks me off. I’m a firm believer that if you don’t vote, then you don’t have the right to complain about the government or its policies.
While I admit there are a few exceptions (like my hubby who is out of town and has been since before even the advance polling stations were open and won’t be home until after the polls close), I find it hard to believe 70% of the population has legitimate excuses.
OMG Im having a Reznor-gasm!!!!!!!!
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/49048-new-nine-inch-nails-album-available-now
The person at the local Husky said he can’t vote because he has dual citizenship and if he voted in either election he would lose that privilege. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t know the law in that area but somehow I’m dubious as this is a provincial election not federal.
Reznor-gasm part 2

sorry I broke up your rant in progress bunny
please continue, its nice to hear another country bitch about their elections for a while 🙂
TEB: I don’t know where he got that idea. As far as I know, it isn’t true.
I don’t think it’s true either, it’s just another excuse.
Bleh!
ok, I think I’m done.
Welcome to the comment board, Evilshadowmuppet!
Hmmm, I guess I should do some Deadpan-content recording tonight. I have some things in mind. 🙂
Ohh, I got a package in the mail.
My new pull up bar is here!
I’m off to find a doorway to put it on.
Bye!
Cool TEB, I’m on my four week of running and lifting weights. I’ve lost four pounds so far.
Bar is “some assembly required”.
Rhettro, I actually do a fairly heavy cardio routine of 1 – 1.5 hours a day, six days a week (although I didn’t do much while my husband was away 🙂 )
I find just looking at food makes me gain weight so I have to work quite hard to maintain my girlish figure.
Now I’m adding more weights (and the bar of course) to my routine just to mix it up.
Keep up the great work TEB. Currently I’m running (really running/walking) two miles a day and lifting every other day. Once I get a little stronger, I’ll increase it. My knees tell me every day how much of a 40 year old I am. LOL
I know what you mean, Rhettro. I prefer cycling to running since it’s easier on my knees. I’ve gotten out of my exercise regime, so I need to kick my own butt back to the weights.
A few years ago, my husband and I decided to get serious. We’ve always done the stationary bike but we bought a new programmable one, a weight bench and weights and I got some cardio DVD’s.
Of course, I’m not sure I liked the getting up at 6 am to work out before going to work but since we do it together it’s not too bad.
Didn’t need to lose weight (well, he didn’t anyway) but now, a few years later, we still notice the difference in our energy level.
As for running/walking. I find I have to do low impact work out for the same reason. Damn knees 🙂
Ack, Ack! just ripped my shirt trying to put this bar together (don’t ask me how).
If you’re interested, this is the bar I got
http://tinyurl.com/28rulf
There, bar is together. Will wait until hubby gets home before I put it up as he may have a specific spot he wants it (though most likely in the office doorway)
Now must go change my shirt for one without a hole in it. 🙁
You turning into she-hulk TEB?
Am I the only Deadpan couch potato?
On second thoughts don’t answer that question.
I was high and dry like the Kansas sky
If I ached for any more I knew I’d surely die
Night after night trying to get out of my skin
Day after lonely day
You’d send me back again
I have stood inside this prison
I have touched its stony walls
I know before you try to run
You gotta learn to crawl
I tried to leave it all behind me
I drove all night just to drive all day
But the walls of this prison still surround me
And I can’t break away
Melissa Etheridge — The Prison
No Van, I have no intention of bulking up (or is that hulking up?) As I said, we’ve always worked out, and I tend to get bored with the same routine day in and day out so I’m just mixing things up a bit.
TEB: that bar looks interesting. I might have to check it out.
Ditto, it’s really a nice bar, now that I’ve seen it up close. Very sturdy. And, in my mind a reasonable price. Especially now that the Canadian $ is at (or even a little above) the US.
Darn another comic book fantasy shattered.
To attach to the doorway, there are metal brackets that screw into the wall, just above the door jam. The bar just sits into them, so it’s easy to remove (as long as you don’t mind the look of metal brackets above your door 🙂 ).
Van, you want me green and bulky?
I prefer to be skin tone and curvy myself.
Hmmm, the wife might complain about the brackets, though I could really use a good pullup bar. She certainly wouldn’t complain about better shoulders. 🙂
I never thought She-Hulk was all that sexy either. Must be all the time I spent in the gym.
Nice bar. I want one. When I started working out (about the same time I started coming here) I couldn’t do an unassisted wide grip pull up or more than like, one dip.
I can do 3 sets of 10 dips no problem now, but those wide grip pull-ups are hard. I can do 5, 3 and 2 now. Then I do weigh 195+, so…
Chin-ups are way easier.
I was down to 189 in mid december, but then vacation and lack of rugby, then twisting my ankle has me back up to 197 or so….totally lame. Ankle feels better now, time to whoop myself into sexy-mode for Dublin!!
Hugh and I try to workout everyday.
We lift weights using a bowflex machine at home- and we alternate muscle groups
Then Hugh runs and I bike
Every evening we do bikram yoga
weekends we also do tai chi
Honestly at this point we are putting more focus on the yoga and tai chi then the weight lifting and cardio.
I like to try to go swimming a few times a week in the summer
Hugh did the bulk up thing. He was such a cute skinny guy when I met him. Then he bulked up to the sexy muscle hunk he is now 🙂
Ok I need to go jump in the lake or something now
bye
Well the green skintone would look ok TEB under sodium lights…
cough
Is it getting hot in here?
Wow. How many of those lights did you put up, Van?
Well, I’m off to see the wizard.
Ta.
Peace out, Ryah.
My weight is fine, but my stomach has gotten a little flabby. Hanz and Franz would mock me.
“Fiyah, Fiyah. Put it out. Put it out.”
canta per me ne addio

a noi si schiude il ciel
volano al raggio
la vita dell’amore
dilette del cor mio
o felice, tu anima mia
canta addio…

Well Pan,
Supper is done. Only 2 more hours until I go to the airport to get my hubby.
I’m not dying or anything. Just in rehab.
And it doesn’t help that my wife smuggled me cookies. Been able to stay away from caffiene, but the benz haven’t started yet.
Also I slipped a bit of audio content into Mike’s mailbox for Wingin’ it. Dunno if he’ll play it though, it’s highly offensive.
Woo Hoo!
My hubby’s plane is 5 minutes early. Wait a minute, that never happens.
Silly daughter locked herself out of her car. Have to go bring her a spare key. Then off to the airport.
Bye!
TEB: Woot! Your hubby is coming back!!!

This would be a rough song in Rock Band 🙂

Tweet: Just submitted two new pieces of Deadpan content. Yay! I love doing creative things. 🙂
I submitted something too. I hope it turns out funny. 🙂
I’m suffering a bit of a creative derth at the moment. I had a few ideas for content but forgot most of them. LOL I’ll try and jot some ideas down latter, probably nothing I can contribute this week.
Of course I just thought of something I could do for this week. LOL
Typical.
I’ll get it recorded tonight.
Sounds like the Deadpan is about to runneth over…
And that can only be a good thing. 🙂
Morning Pan. Tracy Hickman just announced that E. Gary Gygax has died.
Wow. His wiki entry has already been updated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Gygax
runch time
That’s sad and a little freaky. While driving in today I was listening to Slice and they have that ad for Dragon Con TV or something, but it has a clip of Gary Gygax talking. And for whatever reason it reminded me of the Simpsons episode that had Gary Gygax and Al Gore on it. LOL
Thought it was Futurama and not the Simpsons:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthology_of_Interest_I
Ah Futurama…bloody great series, must get round to buying the new DVD movie one of these days.
Thanks for the correction Van. I only remember bits of the Simpsons and Futurama, and as bits they are pretty interchangable. LOL
Ah

I’m concentrating on fresh fish today.
I just take Omega 3 supplements so I can avoid the smell.
Pet peeve, people who claim freshly killed fish doesn’t smell, when it bloody well stinks.
Don’t get me started on how bad anglers bait boxes stink.
Think I had better go for a lie down.
As long as no one gets started again on the fish puns.
We’ve had enough of that carp.
Van obviously isn’t a fan of sushi.
No fish puns just for the halibut?
Van must think sushi tastes like bass. I’ll refrain from talk about trout and salty seamen.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssh you’ll set TEB off.
I’ll clam it on the fish puns from now on.
GG’s death only got a little mention on the BBC’s website:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/03/farewell_gary_gygax_the_dungeo.html
They obviously didn’t want to troll since he had a lot of sole.
There is a message over on Fark about him loosing his saving throw.
You knew someone was going to toss that one out.
Well he’s past the point of caring about bad jokes..
..or even good ones.
I get the sense that he would have approved of that joke.
Having a bad day?

I was wondering when the Saving Throw jokes would come out. Or as one blogger titled his post: “Gary Gygax reaches zero hit points.”
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/03/04/obit.gygax.ap/index.html
CNN waited until the afternoon, but they finally posted a link about Gygax. Funny that it’s in the Technical section and not the Entertainment one.
That’s because we geeks probably wouldn’t see it in the entertainment section.
I’ve still got my original Player’s Handbook even though I was only into paper role playing some 20 years ago.

Very funny, Jack.
Why do I think Conan O’Brien could mimick that list and it would be so amazing the world would actually end for lack of anything funnier.
Morning Pan!
It’s a beautiful sunny day. I’m sitting here, eating a cheese omelette, listening to the birds sing. It’s so bright and sunny, I don’t need any lights on in the house. A nice change from the winter darkness.
In the news today…

While I didn’t put myself through school this way, I know my mother occasionally made a few extra dollars when I was but a tot and she was trying to put herself through school.
In other news. There’s talk of making voting mandatory. For our provincial election, Alberta had the lowest voter turnout in CANADIAN (not just provincial) history.
I loves my apathetic, red-neck province 🙂
Two street racers aren’t responsible for injuries suffered by an elderly pedestrian hit by one of their motorcycles, a judge ruled yesterday.
Justice Peter McIntyre said Harvey David, 79, was to blame for the crash which hospitalized him. He later died there after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
But McIntyre did find both Jacob Bjerknes, 29 and Lindsey Conroy, 28, guilty of dangerous driving for speeding down busy 17 Ave S.W. during a spring evening three years ago.
McIntyre acquitted the two Calgary men of the more serious charges of criminal negligence and dangerous driving causing bodily harm, ruling David was responsible for the crash.
Bjerknes collided with David as the elderly man was trying ot cross the street, breaking his leg and fracturing two ribs.
David died days after the crash
– Calgary Sun
Wait a minute. If I want to cross the street, I now have to watch for the illegal street racers or it’s my own fault they hit me????
What’s wrong with this picture?
Subconsciously, I think I noticed each one of those expressions as odd.
Dub, I went back and listened to Tag #2 this morning. I think Leann is the only person that can make the subject of body hair entertaining. LOL
On DnD, I had a friend introduce me to DnD when I was 11, I was hooked. But he moved away and I didn’t get back into it until 7th grade. I bought the basic books and played a few games. But it wasn’t until I was a junior in high school that I ever got into a regular weekly game. That was awesome, 7 player game with girls and boys really entertaining. Didn’t play again until I was 28 and met someone who was heavily into Rolemaster. So my wife and I spent a summer playing Rolemaster on Saturdays with another couple and a few friends. Fun but time consuming. I still buy books about role playing, but mostly just for reading, I’m not sure I would make the best game master, but I love to play.
That’s it for the news. Now to work 🙂
My husband and I try to play every Saturday. It’s not always D & D (right now it’s thrilling tales) but we try to do some form of role playing.
On Fridays we have a bunch of people over and do table top games, such as Killer Bunnies, any of the Catan games, Kill Doctor Lucky, Ticket to Ride, etc.
Sounds fun TEB.

Oh and GG got a bigger write up on the BBC website today:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7278927.stm
Do D&Der look down on DnDers and vice versa?
That’s right, Van. Were all D & D snobs.
+s
Anybody know of a converter for AMR audio files? a linux one would be nice.
I know they have been claims that elections have been lost due to bad weather in the UK, where voters of one party don’t turn in the same numbers in bad weather.
Compulsory voting would stop a lot of that.
Hi guys, how are y’all?
I’ve never played D&D. But I’m sure you’re not suprised. I’ve never played anything except solitaire.
Van: I think they played that Coke ad during the Superbowl.
As a teenager, I played quite a bit of D&D, stopped for a while, and then played a bit again during college. I haven’t played since, other than video games. Like Rhettro, I do enjoy picking up the manuals from time to time.
Some of the 4th ed changes sound interesting. I might have to give it a try, but considering the lack of free time that I have, I don’t see how.
JfS: Did you see Pichfork’s scathing review of Ghostland Observatory’s new album?
http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/49081-robotique-majestique
if they had a D&D porn edition I would play though. Do they have D&D porn?
Have you SEEN some of the artwork? in some cases it might as well be porn 😉
TSH: I’d consider WhoreCraft to be D&D porn, though purists might disagree.
This is the artist guest of World Fantasy 2008 (ding!). He’s done a lot of D & D stuff
http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/dnd/01/
This one’s kind of cool
http://www.toddlockwood.com/galleries/dnd/02/vampyre.shtml
Good to see you Dre, you know I think there are some additional rules that govern sex play into DnD. I’m almost 100 percent sure there are unofficial rules that govern that. LOL
Well there’s a long tradition of scantily clad women in depicted in scifi and fantasy art. Boris Vallejo’s work springs to mind:

Hubba hubba!!
I was kinda thinking as you moved around to each room or whatever you have to have sex with everything in the room in order to pass.. and you get points for different methods, positions that sort of thing.
And you pick up toys as you go. You start with a box of condoms and handcuffs or something like that. LOL
And when you picked what you are, you can have differnt levels of perversion or something
Wow I need to make this game up!
Hi Rhett, its good to see you too 🙂
you can get points for the most variety of species, the best use off all your ummm.. holes and limbs.. LOL
That one way to rack up “experience” points. LOL
You can make the wizard throw Orgasmballs instead of Fireballs. 🙂
I want to be a Nymph with +10 oral points and +5 bondage and +15 boobs or something like that
🙂
Let your imagination run wild.
Enchanted cock rings.
Staffs of… something.
Save verses V.D.
I’m not going to Google for “Dungeon and Dragons rules for sex” while at work though. I’m sure you would get pages of rules. LOL
Orgasmballs I like that
Don’t you give your characters a class in D&D
It can be Dominant class, Submissive class, street whore class, dominatrix class, gentlemen caller class, stripper class
She does have a mind for role playing! LOL Speaking of work, got a ton to do. Back a little later. Have fun.
enchanted cock rings!?! *swooon*
Can I get 1 of those for Hugh?
work = boo
🙁
ok. I’ll have to entertain myself
OH! Definitely need masturbation points
When you finally fucked the Orc to death you get a rabbit vibrator 🙂
and your goal is to reach the golden vibrating nipple clamps at the end
and you have to endure the master of cunninglingus (spelling?) for 30 minutes without cuming in order to make it to the orgy level
ok I’ve smuttied up deadpan enough for the day
I’ll do my work now 🙁
LOL
my nymph character also has +30 kegel strength.. LOL
Ok this has gone too far
sorry 🙂
and nipple resiliancy of +10 which should withstand any clamps up to +10 strength
When you make your billions from the game invention, don’t forget all of us little people back at the Deadpan 🙂
I think you’d be most successful taking such a concept to online multiplayer. Your company would quickly become bigger than Google.
Hugh’s “rod” has +50 strength
Ed- maybe I will 🙂
Shit. maybe I WILL. I need a web designer.. wheres that Jeremy!

I like those little Chicago pepperoni pizzas as a snack…they now claim to have NO HYDROGENATED FAT…so that’s ok then.

Ooop, missed 420sies!!
Jeremy: You see Pitchfork’s review of Ghostland Observatory’s new album?
Nuh-uh. I’ll go look.
Wow. He sure doesn’t like them much does he.
He can eat a dick.

420, the new improved answer to life, the universe, and everything.
8 out of 10 philosophers we asked claimed 10 TIMES greater satisfaction with the new answer.

Thanks, Jeremy. His review surprised me, but if you like it, then I expect I will.

Much more fair review. Takes into consideration their live shows.

Time to make dinner.

I am thinking about having pancakes for dinner. Is that wrong
?
I meant to add that.
or waffles. Waffles would be great.
My wife is making dumplings. Haven’t had them in forever.
Now would not be a good time, actually:
http://www.wmtw.com/money/15499961/detail.html
I was wrong. She’s making biscuits.
DS: Nope, waffles or pancakes are just fine. 🙂
“Ow! My Biscuits are Burning!”
I like having pancakes for dinner once in a while. It’s something we’ve always done in my family.
Pancakes, some maple syrup, and a some vanilla ice cream…Mmmmmmm!
Can’t get away with putting lemon juice on pancakes though.
…and come on, pancakes are flat yorkshire puddings:
