  1. Well a pleasant/unpleasant surprise today, found out I work the next two days and then I have two weeks off.

    Pleasant in that it’s always nice to have time away from work.

    Unpleasant because I have nothing planned…grrrrr!

  2. Time for spontaneity, Van! Or just chillin.

    One more weird link, then I’m off:
    //www.craveonline.com/music/articles/169481-wtf-metallica-and-lou-reed-have-recorded-an-album

    This could work, but I’ll keep my expectations low. Goodnight :Cali:

  3. Morning, DP!

    Congrats to the Ambassador!

    Looks like it’ll be a hot day today – I plan to stay indoors. And maybe buy shoes on my lunch hour.

    Have a good day, yos.

  4. Oh and congratulations to Jack on getting that volcano pronounced correctly ish.

    When I was about 6-7, I had to go and see a speech therapist, one of the few words I could say correctly was the name of that Volcano.

    • I was somewhat in and out after the first goal (like I was for a 7 games) and from what I saw Vancouver didn’t deserve to win. I know I missed a lot so maybe i’m being harsh

    • Oh agreed on both accounts. Obviously every city has their asshole fans… but COME ON! I dont remember ever seeing trash thrown on the ice during the ceremony before. Classless.

  5. And when was the last time Vancouver saw riots? Oh yeah, in 1994, when the Canucks lost to the Rangers in the Stanley Cup Finals. I won’t condemn the whole city, but this does change my opinion of the place.

    • Looking forward to it, played the last few LC games all the way through, but wish they were less coy on which consoles it’s coming out on.

      • I’d be surprised if it wouldn’t be widely supported. Exclusives are becoming more rare these days. Gaming companies can’t afford to limit their customer base.

  6. The two games on my radar are still Mass Effect 3 and Batman Arkham City and perhaps Diablo 3 as well. I’ve difted away from PC gaming mainly because my kids have taken both my gaming PC’s over, mostly free flash games. The XBOX 360 is really the only platform I can reliably get access to anymore. LOL

    • One thing that is kind of neat is that the entire Deschanel family is in the biz and I know all of their work. Emily is on Bones, which I don’t watch too frequently. Mary Jo (their mother) was on Twin Peaks as Donna’s wheelchair-bound mother, and father Caleb was a director on a few episodes of Twin Peaks…

    • I’m in great company it seems (drives one of sisters nuts on how often I use like in conversation with her).

      Not much of a fan of Zooey’s singing or acting, although liked in role in 500 days of Summer.

  7. The television has been doing a lot of hype about whether Phil Mickleson can win it all at the US Open this season and it doesn’t look like he is going to make the cut for Saturday. Hype is hype.

  8. Just finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I can definitely see why someone who read the book first would hate Blade Runner. However, having seen the movie first (and many times) I still enjoy the movie. I also plan on reading a lot more of Philip K Dick’s books.

    I’m also close to the end of Dune in audio book format. I didn’t like the movie when I first saw it, and Herbert’s style of writing bothers me. Think I won’t be going on to any of the other Dune books.

  9. Doesn’t look like Green Lantern is going to be this year’s Iron Man. Rotten Tomatoes is brutalizing it – though that’s not enough to write it off in my book. The professional consensus can be might fickle with movies that I’ve enjoyed.

    But this one on IMDB strongly suggests waiting for Redbox for this one:

  10. Hey Deadpan!

    On conference calls part of the morning. They’re doing a whole bunch of shuffling in the ranks. Luckily I still have a job (whew!) but my supervisor has been transferred to another department. I really liked my supervisor. She was one of the best I’ve worked for. My new one better be as good. *pout*

  11. I fucking hate Rory.

    Morning Pan!

    Rebbecca Black has officially pulled “Friday” from YouTube. I…I…I feel a little emptier inside.

  12. My mom is in town next week to watch the kids while my wife makes one of her regular business trips to Chicago.

    I may “let” her take the kids to a Green Lantern matinee next week.

  13. So Zooey was all like “do you want me to do a book review, because I will” about Tee and Pip’s book and the nerdest guy was like “nah”. WTF?

  14. I think my sleeping went so well last night that my body wants more of it.

    That doesn’t seem quite right. It’s too early.. I still have 7 hours to go.

  15. CD: homebrew saison

    kinda busy afternoon, going to be a busy saturday tomorrow, I’m going to have to prep and clean for a Father’s Day Lunch I’m making for my Dad.

  16. Once more unto the breach. Made good progress on getting the old house prepared. Got another full two days of work ahead of me.

    I’ll hopefully catch a bit of rest on Monday when I’m back in the office 🙂

  17. I’m only a few hours into the Fall of Hyperion. However, for Father’s Day weekend, I think Saul Weintraub has to be given serious consideration for greatest father in science fiction. His story in Hyperion has to be one of the toughest reads I’ve been through.

    Any other nominees?

    • No problem. If you need help, feel free to ask.

      I haven’t read that book, but I agree with his advice. Let me know what you think about it. Personally, I really like Python.

      At this point, I’ve used about 3 dozen different languages professionally. A good language is very useful, but nothing to be a zealot about.

  18. Yes, Saul Weintraub’s story is one of the better ones, although I also found the poet’s pretty unforgettable. Dammit, Ed, are you going to make me reread that series?

    Great Sci-Fi fathers:
    Duke Leo Atreides.
    Bruce Wayne’s dad.
    Ned Stark.
    Vincent Price in Edward Scissorhands.
    Jango Fett. (Although not a great teacher or example.)

    • Grilled steaks
      Grilled corn on the cob
      Baked potatoes
      Salad
      Homemade croissants (working on them now)
      Homemade Carrot Cake ( actually made 2 so I have a backup in case I screw up the first one)

      Oh, and I tried to make a baguette loaf of bread but it didn’t come out quite right 🙁

      Hopefully the croissants will turn out better.

      I’m lucky a mutual friend was willing to pay for the food since my finances are tight right now.

  19. CW: BSG premier

    It’s interesting how they did the music going into the first fighter fight, makes you think the colonials actually have a chance.

  20. Happy Father’s Day to Jackamo and the other Deadpan dads!!!

    Someone needs to invent a Aunt/Uncle day. C’mon Hallmark, think of the added revenue you can have if you invent this one!! Hugh and I are Aunt/Uncle to like 600 kids. It would be an epic day for us. Full of praise which we muchly deserve! 😉

    • So, is she going to continue with Harry and the gang into adulthood, or pull a Raymond Feist and move the timeline 30 years down the road with a new cast of young heros taking center stage while Harry and the gang serve as teachers/mentors?

  21. Saw Super 8 for Father’s Day, it was a pretty good flick. Sort of a Goonies, ET, X-Files mashup. Personally, I would have liked a little less interpersonal middle school drama and a little more intrigue, but it was still a fun ride.

  22. On Twitter ComicbookGirl wrote:

    The Game of Thrones season finale gave me 60 minutes of foreplay, and then told me I had to wait until Spring of 2012 for the orgasm.

    Opinions Ed and Essbee?

  23. So thus far from what Ive seen and heard… I’m thinking X-Men is going to be the best genre film of the summer. Gonna be hard to beat. I loved Thor… but I loved X-Men more. What a wonderful, surprising film.

  24. I watched Falling Skies last night. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I’m worried about how predictable it will be. There’s one hinted reveal that is ridiculously obvious. Will Patton as a cranky military guy is always fun to watch.

  25. Well Green Lantern was enjoyable enough, definitely a watchoncethennvveragain movie.

    Oh and wait for most of the credits to role for a short sequence.

  26. Ryan Reynolds…

    Seriously, those are the only words I saw on this page when I loaded it this morning..

    Mmmmmm…. I’m gonna need a minute or 12 to process the deliciousness of those words…

    Ryan Reynolds..

    YUM.

  27. By the way, contrary to popular belief, Vancouver has won a Stanley Cup, so I wouldn’t feel too too sorry for them.

    It was just…. the Vancouver Millionaires in 1915…. But still!

    • His actual statement (according to Pegg’s book) was “Just don’t suddenly find yourself making the same film you made thirty years ago.”

      To me this says NOTHING about what Lucas thinks of his own film. He was more likely bitching that trying to continue the sequel 30 years later lead to people assuming he would be making the same film all over again and what a mistake that was on his part because he was actually trying to make a modern film, rather than a remake of a 1979 flick.

      That being said, the prequels did kind of blow.

      That being said, most of what was wrong with the prequels (e.g. Jar Jar Binks) could also be said about the originals (e.g. Ewoks).

  28. Van, I wrote a mini-blog about GoT last week. I’ll have to do another one now that I’ve seen the finale.

    I didn’t feel like last night’s ep was 50 minutes of foreplay for an orgasm next year, or whatever it was. But I know what’s gonna happen. I think Dani emerging with the dragons was a perfect way to end the season, and Sly B told me that would be the final scene before we even started watching somehow.

    I LOVE the books. I like the TV show okay.

    Did you see The Killing finale yet?

  29. Someone go with me to see Green Lantern?

    Do I gotsta beg? Freals? Movie wanting.

    I could see it alone, but think it’d be better with a friend

    COME ON!

  30. Just FYI I did call the voice mail line one morning last week and blathered on and on.. I suppose it should have been about hitchhiker’s guide. That will happen though.

    • There is an extremely interesting concept in there screaming to be developed. Namely, the ramifications of someone being turned into a vampire at 12 years old. I know it’s been done before, but it could have been explored here and simply wasn’t. The movie was mis-labeled as horror. It really should have been labeled a pre-teen “look how lonely and isolated I can be” movie.

  31. Great video find, LR. I think a Barbarellapalooza would cause Deadpan to end before 288.

    All right, I know it was a rough day for some of us out there. Goodnight :mush: Let’s have a good Tuesday.

  32. Let the right one in was very slow but it wasn’t boring and all that waiting was building tension that ultimately paid off. I haven’t seen the dumbed down version yet, but I’ll probably have to at some point just so I can say “I told you so” to myself.

  33. Also, I’m pretty sure Bunny has beat me at WWF more than twice. The trick is not to allow open double or triple word tiles. Especially not the one with a triple letter tile only four away. That can be a game changer, especially if you luck out and can play JEEZ on it. That is 129 points right there.

    I think. Doing it in my head is risky. 🙂

  34. Morning all.

    Got to see the GOT finale last night. I wasn’t surprised that it ended the way it did as it was a pretty dramatic high point to end the first season on.

    All the books are pretty fresh in my memory and I also know what’s coming. I enjoyed the series, though I do think it suffered a bit of the “reading the book onscreen” syndrome the way Watchmen and the early Harry Potter movies did.

    I do also think that the editing suffered some from trying to jump around among all the story lines. It’s one thing to follow a part of the story for many pages in a book and then check in somewhere else in the world. I don’t think that works as well trying present that in a visual form.

    Still, I enjoyed it and look forward to next spring. Between this and the other offerings, I think we’ll be keeping our HBO subscription after our free time has passed.

  35. Morning Pan

    I think the neighbours are deliberately trying to annoy the garbage men. Last week they put their bins so close together the machine couldn’t pick them up. This week the bins are backwards. It’s almost funny.

  36. Morning Pan, Left my wife yesterday. Looking back this was not nearly as hard a choice as I thought it would be. maybe that is a sign too.
    So, I might actually be here more in the afternoon/weekend after I get back to my place or get internet where ever I end up.

  37. Bunny, I’m off to work in a sec, but would you be game for some clandestine, fool the governments, exchange of currency/order something for my Canadian brother-in-law for me online? They just had a baby (#4!) and we want to send them a case of diapers. Do you think you can order diapers in the U.S. to ship to a Canadian address? The answer is no. I’m sure there’s some national security reason . . .

    I’ll holler at ya.

  38. Well Pan, filling done, but because of my interfering Tongue, the filling may not take, so fingers crossed I don’t have the few days in pain as I wait to get an extraction appointment.

  39. I’m amazed at how bad some drivers are. I know I shouldn’t be but….

    Just how do you end up having a 3 car accident on a busy off-ramp–during rush hour!–where two of the cars end up facing the wrong way?

  40. Going to try out the Google Music Beta.
    I don’t see a podcast manager or blackberry app so I don’t know how much I will use it.

  41. Just got to work. Early because I had a 7:30am dentist appt. Trying to use up my FSA monies before EOM. Somehow my insurance paid too much for my son’s root canal so I’m gonna be out a few bucks of FSA money.

    Dammit.. Why do we all have to be so darned healthy!?

    And holy crap in a craptastic crapbasket.. my mouth is numb, yet hurts, and I’m drooling on myself.

    Hey, baby.. wanna date? 😉

  42. Also, my thinking was this, I’d get a drink from Sonic see… I like Diet Dr. Pepper with Chocolate…
    the only way I can drink it with my numb mouth is to shove the straw down the back of my throat and sorta inhale.

    Does this seem dangerous to anyone else?

  43. Reaper – I shall raise at least 2 glasses to you tonight.
    The first is for rising above the “black hole” like gravity that keeps us humans bound to situations that (while soul sucking) are familiar and known. The endless, downward spiral of “settling” and just trying to make the best of being in a morass.

    The second glass is in celebration of the excitement of having a future again. Your horizon might be completely unknown and probably full of pitfalls but BY THE GODS … now it is YOUR horizon!

    Cheers mate!

    • Thanks!
      to your first glass she said “I think your taking the easy way out by leaving”. I think settling is easier. Hell the dog and kids are hers. They might not talk to me again; that is going to be very hard.
      and to the second glass not just a future, a life again. It is kind of exciting and a little scary.

      • Settling is far and beyond the worst way to live. I’ll drink to your future.. And you know, life is a rollercoaster.

        I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
        – Grandma (Parenthood)

        • Okay, so here we go.

          In honor of sucking it up and just doing the hard things that need to be done … I’m having a (home brew) “Midnight Beatdown” Porter.
          *lifts pint*
          La Chaim!!!

  44. There, my swimsuit has been cleaned and packed. Jack’s gift has been wrapped and packed. My overnight kit has been assembled and packed. Now if I can just remember where I put my passport all will be good.

  45. It’s kind of amazing how an awesome weekend of exhausting activities with my kids can give me a new lease on life… Holy crap I’m lucky.

  46. I’m gonna start calling in on the listener line and speak song lyrics from songs that come up on my Avril station.

    with wonders like Lady Gaga, Ke$sha, Selena Gomez, Aly & AJ, Demi Lovato….

    Seriously.. and how scary is it that I know all their names without looking them up!

    Be warned! I’ve turned into a 16 year old girl!

    (Disclaimer: I still love Ozzy and AC/DC)

  47. OK. Watched the original version (Let the Right One In). Oddly enough any scenes involving only children (i.e. the two main characters and the bullies) were remade shot for shot. Any scenes involving adults were somewhat different (e.g. a cop stalking and finally confronting the vampire in the US version vs. an angry friend/boyfriend stalking and finally confronting the vampire in the original). I still think it moves too damn slow for very little payoff. And they still didn’t flesh out the cool ramifications of a 12 year old being a vampire.

    Now off to bed. Tomorrow I’ll watch the commentaries for the season finale of The Venture Brothers season 4 and will be in a much better mood.

  48. Apparently Tee is about to release my Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences audio short. Or Part 1, at least. I’ll post something here when it’s ready. Possibly even on the main page.

  49. Yep, I’m back. 🙂

    Crazy times around here. Loving my new job. No, the Deadpan is not blocked from work, I just don’t always remember to check in. (The only site that I know of that is blocked from work is Twitter.)

    It’s only going to get crazier from here, too. From now through July 13, I’m somehow going to have to balance taking care of the family house while my parents are on vacation with gradually moving into the new house that I’m renting with a roommate. Yes, I’m finally, really moving out.

  50. I see a big red band of storm bearing down upon Houston. Hopefully it will hold together and actually make it here. We haven’t had a decent rain in over two months around here.

  51. Hey Natalia, ummm the, uh, whales get nervous when they see wetsuits…. yeah… so you’ll, um, have to swim naked with them. No, no, a one-piece would scare them too. Even a bikini might be too much for them. No, no, we’re sure, we’ll show you the data later. Just go ahead and swim with them.

  52. Good morning!

    Today was a fairytale
    You were the prince
    I used to be a damsel in distress
    You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six
    Today was a fairytale

    Today was a fairytale

    Today was a fairytale
    I wore a dress
    You wore a dark grey t-shirt
    You told me I was pretty
    When I looked like a mess
    Today was a fairytale

  53. If you’ve had a dose
    Of a freaky ghost

    Maybe you’d better call

    (Ghostbusters)

    Let me tell you something

    Bustin’ makes me feel good

    I ain’t afraid of no ghost

  54. OK, another question… anyone here ever get fillings in their teeth? I mean, ok yeah it’s new to me.. I’ve had my wisdom teeth out, but this is like a filling … it feels weird like a foreign object is in my mouth. Is that something that goes away?

    • depends if it feels like you are biting something that is sticking out of the tooth, NO! GET IT LOOKED AT!!!!!
      any other reason it can very much feel that way but it will go away
      It’s like a new pair of underwear. At first it’s constrictive, but after a while it becomes a part of you.

      • Let me know when you get it all straightened out so we’ll know it is okay to make fun of this bit –
        “it feels weird like a foreign object is in my mouth. Is that something that goes away?”

  55. Well just watched the first two episodes of Fallen Skies.

    Hmmmm, can’t help feeling they would have been better off making a TV series based on Half Life 2..

  56. CW: BSG S1E4 I kinda forgot how good Battlestar Galactica was, especially for the really good episodes

    CD: a Beringer White Merlot, it is an interesting wine. Kind of like a more tannic rose.

  57. So according to the Vevo advertisements on youtube Britney Spears has a new video, do I dare to be cool and watch it now, or wait for the more talented parodies?

    • Ok, I should have waited. It’s like she was trying to channel Faith mixed with Terminator, and got both so wrong it was boring.

      On the other hand Weird Al has another funny video http://youtu.be/ss_BmTGv43M

      But the Photoshopping of his face on to a body double is weird.

  58. Hmm, 422 comments (counting this post), and I believe it is now 10:30 AZ time. So how shall I fill the remaining time, and can we get to 500 comments before then?

  59. Providing filler

    It’s silent on the Deadpan

    I’m alone in the bar
    I guess I’ll pour another

  62. Well since that bit of prose has stalled let’s turn to something else.

    And since I turned to the Brobdignagian Bards for inspiration I have an idea.

    (Don’t ask. No really please don’t ask. I’m pretty sure the neuron responsible is drinking alone in the corner of my skull.)

    Now for something kind of different.

    • Old Dun Cow

      Some friends and I in a public house
      Was playing a game of chance one night
      When into the pub a fireman ran
      His face all a chalky white.
      “What’s up”, says Brown, “Have you seen a ghost,
      Or have you seen your Aunt Mariah?”
      “Me Aunt Mariah be buggered!”, says he,
      “The bleedin’ pub’s on fire!”

      And there was Brown upside down
      Lappin” up the whiskey on the floor.
      “Booze, booze!” The firemen cried
      As they came knockin’ on the door (clap clap)
      Oh don’t let ’em in till it’s all drunk up
      And somebody shouted MacIntyre! MACINTYRE!
      And we all got blue-blind paralytic drunk
      When the Old Dun Cow caught fire.

      “Oh well,” says Brown, “What a bit of luck.
      Everybody follow me.
      And it’s down to the cellar
      If the fire’s not there
      Then we’ll have a grand old spree.”
      So we went on down after good old Brown
      The booze we could not miss
      And we hadn’t been there ten minutes or more
      Till we were quite pissed.

      Then, Smith walked over to the port wine tub
      And gave it just a few hard knocks (clap clap)
      Started takin’ off his pantaloons
      Likewise his shoes and socks.
      “Hold on, ” says Brown, “that ain’t allowed
      Ya cannot do that thing here.
      Don’t go washin’ trousers in the port wine tub
      When we got Guinness beer.”

      Then there came from the old back door
      The Vicar of the local church.
      And when he saw our drunken ways,
      He began to scream and curse.
      “Ah, you drunken sods! You heathen clods!
      You’ve taken to a drunken spree!
      You drank up all the Benedictine wine
      And you didn’t save a drop for me!”

      And then there came a mighty crash
      Half the bloody roof caved in.
      We were almost drowned in the firemen’s hose
      But still we were gonna stay.
      So we got some tacks and some old wet sacks
      And we nailed ourselves inside
      And we sat drinking the finest Rum
      Till we were bleary-eyed.

      Later that night, when the fire was out
      We came up from the cellar below.
      Our pub was burned. Our booze was drunk.
      Our heads was hanging low.
      “Oh look”, says Brown with a look quite queer.
      Seems something raised his ire.
      “Now we gotta get down to Murphy’s Pub,
      It closes on the hour!”

  63. Old Deadpan Bar

    Some friends and I in the deadpan bar
    Were geeking away one night
    When into the pub J.R. Murdoch ran in
    His face paler than than a twilight fan
    “What’s up”, says Jack, “Have you seen a ghost
    Or have you seen Evo sober?”
    “Evo be buggered!” says he,
    “The fucking bar’s on fire!”

      When into the pub our friend) Murdoch ran
      His face paler than than a twilight fan
      “What’s up”, says Jack, “Have you seen a ghost
      Or have you seen Evo stone sober?”
      “Forget that damn Evo!” says he,
      “The fucking bar’s on fire!”

  64. And there was Ralph upside down
    Lappin’ at the beer on the floor
    “Booze, booze!” the Deadpan cried
    As they came bangin’ at the door
    Oh don’t let ‘em in till it’s all drunk up
    And somebody shouted Deadpan Jack! DEADPAN JACK!
    And we all got nahvee paralytic drunk
    When the Old Deadpan caught fire

  65. “Oh well,” says Jack, “What a bit of luck.
    Deadpanites follow me.
    It’s down to the cellar
    If the fires not there
    Then we’ll have a grand old spree.”
    So we went on down after deadpan Jack
    The booze we would not spare
    And we hadn’t been there ten minutes or more
    Till we were quite pisses.

  66. Then Joe walked over to the Stone cask ale
    And gave it just a few hard knocks
    Started takin’ off his leather pants
    Likewise his shirts and shoes
    “Hold on,” says Jack, “ that ain’t allowed
    Ya cannot do that thing here.
    Don’t go washin’ trousers in the Stone cask ale
    That’s a waste of good Stone beer.”

  67. Then came from the hiddendoor
    Evo from the old podcast
    And when he saw our drunken ways,
    He began to scream and curse.
    “Ah, you fucking sods! You selfish clods!”
    You drank up Arrogant Bastard
    And didn’t save a drop for me!”

  68. And there came a mighty tumbleweed
    Half the bloody server went down.
    We were almost left with facebook alome
    But still we had our say
    So made our comments, and posted our links
    And we made our own fun
    And we sat drinking the finest beer
    Till the new show was posted.

  69. Later that night, when the weed was gone
    We came up from the cellar below
    Our bar was burned. Our booze was drunk.
    Our comments were getting thin.
    “Oh look.” Says Jack with a look quite strange
    Seems something had caught his mind.
    “Now we got to get down to Joe Murphy’s,
    He serves good root beer!”

  70. hmm, I think I’ve deviated too far from the original song, it doesn”t seem to flow right. i guess it needs some more work too. Unfortunately the beer and wine are catching up to me and I’m not sure how much more I can do.

  71. And switching gears to BSG S1E5

    “Don’t make me angry, you wouldn’t me when I’m angry.”

    But I like it when she’s hot, and since she’s always hot I’m kinda confused.
