For fans of music documentaries (or docs in general)I highly recommend “The Punk Singer”, the story of Kathleen Hanna. She was lead singer of Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, and Le Tigre (as well as being a cutting edge feminist) before she abruptly quit music altogether in 2005. Wonderful. And on Netflix instant!

At which point you have to say: For f***’s sake, why, man? Gwyneth Paltrow no longer being in your life is like having a 14 inch long celery stick that’s been stuck up your arse for years surgically removed! You should be f***ing delirious! This album should be a series of f***ing honky-tonk piano-driven upbeat bangers with titles like ‘Wahoo!’ and ‘Thank F*** Almighty, Free At Last!’ and ‘I Don’t Have To Knit My Breakfast No More!’, all accompanied to the sound of six-shooters fired into the f***ing ceiling with both hands! All your f***ing friends hated her, were you not aware of that? But no, Chris is sad, so on we f***ing crawl through the cesspools of f***ing self-pity. “All I know is I love you/so much it hurts.” (yep, that stench coming from Stratford-Upon-Avon isn’t the drains, it’s f***ing Shakespeare shitting himself in his grave). I’d suggest you drown your f***ing sorrows, Chris, but it’d probably be best all round if you f***ing drowned yourself!

Here’s what I learned today. Steve Jones of the Six Pistols fucked a lot of famous women. Among the notables admitted were Cameron Diaz, Joan Jett, Kelly LeBrock, and Nancy Spungen. The best part was he couldnt remember Kelly LeBrock’s name. Jesus.
Sex Pistols even
That’s spanning some decades there, too. Kelly to Cameron is like 1986-1997
Spungen was killed in 1978.
I had to google her..doh!
Never seen Sid and Nancy?
Nope, just heard Oldman was good in it.
More like Jett/Spungen in mid 70’s to present… but he wouldnt elaborate on who is the present. Heh. Guy is a rock star thru and thru still to this day.

I didn’t meet mom’s boy toy. My grandmother was so stressed fro the move my uncle, rightly, said no company. After all, she’s moving to BC to die, we’d rather it not happen before she got there.
For some reason, I have this strange question bouncing around my head.
In the 60’s cartoon one of the lyrics to the song is :
In the chill of the night,
At the scene of the crime,
Like a streak of light,
He arrives just in time!
What the hell does that mean? How does a stream of light arrive just in time?
Just wondering.
In trying to make sense of cartoon lyrics I fear you have chosen a path that will lead to disappointment.

Another music documentary highest recommendation: “A Band Called ‘Death'”. Not only the first black punk band, but they had the Ramones beat by 2 years. so punk, in fact, that they turned down record deal after record deal because they refused to change their name – hence the reason they went forgotten for 30 years.

Halfway through the doc, “Hot Coffee”, on Netflix streaming. It’s a pretty fascinating look beyond the hype at the facts of the infamous McDonald’s coffee burn victim lawsuit – – and more importantly – – the tort reform in its wake that stripped away consumer protections.
You know, just in case you needed to learn about yet another way that Karl Rove and Dubya made their careers and fortunes selling Americans’ rights out to corporate profit margins.
Sounds uber-depressing, but it’s actually more eye-opening than outright gloomy.

No one would know who he was or where he came from, but whenever he’d kill a man he’d drop little hints like “Your credit card has been… de-Kleined”, or “The only certainties in life are death…and Texas”, or “Ed Rover Ed Rover send death right over…”. Yeah. Yeah that’d be swell.

I enjoyed the scene where the evil overlord has Drake in an inescapable (or so he thinks) deathtrap and launches into an exposition, laying out all his evil plans. Drake Deadlock politely interrupts him and asks “Can we hurry this up a bit? I’ve got to get my son to soccer practice.”
Well, that just takes me back to high school. For extra credit in our high school physics class, each term the teacher would make up a contest – sheet of paper sail boats, rubber band powered car races, and such.
My friend Sherman Eng and I would usually team up. One of the challenges involved launching something up a ramp, aka an incline plan. Naturally, we called our device the “Eng-Klein Plane”.
You shut up! That was comedy gold twenty…dammit!

I’m going to be in Montreal from this Friday to next Wednesday. Any deadpanites been there and have suggestions on places to visit, beers to try, etc? TEB, you’re only about 5,000 miles away. You should know it well.
TRA, I just read an article in Beer & Brewing about Vices and Versa – vicesetversa.com. The website seems to be in French, but looks like a place with an extensive beer list (32 on draft), good food, and live music.
I don’t even see a translation option for the Vices and Versa place. But it’s near a metro line and not too far from where I’m staying so I will most likely check it out. Thanks.
Montreal is a fun place, and I’ve spent quite a bit of time there, though not in over 10 years. I can’t give you any current info. Sorry.
But this may help:
– Rue (street) Sainte-Catherine is where most of the bars and fun evening stuff happens. If you head that way, you’ll always find something to do.
– Old Town Montreal has a lot of cool historical buildings. It’s a fun place to wander around during the day. I don’t know about at night.
– Mount Royal, the source of Montreal’s name, is a beautiful park and has a great view of the city. It should be a great place to hang out during the day.
– Unibroue is a Quebec brewery located in Chambly, Que. It’s sort of a suburb of Montreal, and is on the other side of the river (south east) of Montreal.
Be warned, all the signs are in French, though everyone speaks English.
Thanks for the Montreal info. I’m also looking into the Botanical Garden and the Olympic Park area. And a local friend recommended a good place to get poutine.

Oh look. The stampede booklet came in today’s mail. Let’s see what crazy food they’ll be serving this year
Ok, under the New Eats section they have such delightful s as: Bacon wrapped pork belly on a stick
Bacon wrapped corn
Chocolate dipped cookie dough on a stick
Not sure how they keep it on the stick but then *shrug*. I’m don’t care enough to want to go to the stampede grounds to find out
What the hell is a crocodile slider?
I wonder if it’s exactly what it claims to be.
And now the deep fried section
Deep fried cheezies.
I wonder if they’re Hawkin’s cheezies (Canadien), or Cheetos (US)
Deep fried donut bacon cheese burgers
You might as well just book a space at the hospital now. That way they are ready when your arteries clog
Deep fried cookie dough
Deep fried Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
That seems to be it for “new” deep fried item. Now on to the other silly food
Fried pickle pizza.
Ummm, yeah
So what do you think a Kawabanga Corn Dog is?
Then there’s the “almost 2ft. ling sausage”
I found it hard to keep a straight face when I saw that one
Million Dollar Baby Mac and Cheese
Too rich for me
I wonder heat makes Polish Poutine different from normal Poutine
Heat = what
And a Poutine burger just sounds wrong
But, tequila fries might be interesting
Vicious fish on a stick
Unless it’s still alive, I bet it’s not that vicious
Sushi crunch?
What, do they leave the bones in the fish before they wrap them?
Do I really want to know what a Crazy Monkey Burger is?
And, of course, the old standbys like deep fried pickles and deep fried Twix
The latter sounds about as disgusting as deep fried mars bars.
I guess that’s it for silly foods. At least that’s all they wrote. I’m sure there is a wide variety of other foods that will make you go hmmm.
RAAAWWWRGH, indeed.

Your crap joke for the day:
During a dinner party, the hosts’ two little children entered the dinning room totally nude and walked slowly around the table. The parents were so embarrassed that they pretended nothing was happening and kept he conversation going. The guests cooperated and also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening.After going all the way around the room, the children left, and there was a moment of silence at the table, during which one child was heard to say, “You see, it is vanishing cream!”
The Huffington Post publishes a lot of crap on the web.

Definitely some interesting ones there. I wouldn’t have predicted that my Alma Matter was the biggest employer in Texas. If anything, I would have thought The University of Texas system had more.
Not surprised so many of them are government related.
Ditto on my state.
The largest employer in my state is one of the largest international food chain operators. That’s right, Pizza Hut, Wendy’s and Wingstreet….. There’s something very wrong with that.
Wait… which company is that?

So after 2 days in Montreal I have some observations.
They really like hot dogs here. Even the Chinese Buffet place in the middle of China-town has hot dogs.
Bikes everywhere.
I saw swings for adults on one street. Pretty cool.
Very hippy-like atmosphere. One park I walked through had a naked kid running around.
At night, the downtown area is phenomenal. Animated light shows on buildings all over the place.
Sounds cool
Very cool. It would be nearly perfect if they didn’t speak french.
Have you witnessed or been subjected to any anti-English-speaking nonsense?
Not beyond general French snobery at not being able to pronounce the language. Everyone I’ve encountered has been extremely nice. Especially when I’m spending money in the bars.
Your crap joke for the day:
These two guys walk into a bar, and they’ve each got a black eye… The bartender asks the first guy. “What happened to you?”The first guy responds “I had a slight mishap of words with my wife.. You see, we were getting plane tickets, and the lady behind the terminal was REALLY big breasted and I accidentally said `Two pickets to titsburg please!’ and I MEANT to say ‘Two tickets to Pittsburgh!’ and she hit me..”The bartender looks at the second guy and asks. “And you?”The second guy responds “I had a slight mishap of words also.. This morning, while I was eating breakfast, I meant to say ‘Please pass the margarine’ but instead, I accidentally said `You stupid bitch, you ruined my life’…”
I literally laughed out loud.
T Cat distilled the essence of Deadpan: it’s a place where where share weird stuff we find on the Internet, talk about movies and music, and share crappy jokes. 😉

It fits well! Although this has also often been a place for “Good” jokes and deeper, friendly, flame-free discussion. I think a lot of deep bonds have forged through these boards and the audio days, that would have been a lot more difficult through FB, or anything like it.
(Did that seem defensive? It’s not! Why would you even say something like that? You’re the one who’s defensive!)

Morning Pan
Nice, bright, sunny day today here in Cow Town.
Ok, time to hit the shower.
We had new neighbours move in next door. Yesterday afternoon this kid of around 7 or 8 comes ringing our doorbell and asks if we had any kids he could play with. I actually feel sorry for this kid as our neighbourhood is filled with people much like us. They had kids once but now they are all grown and moved out. Our new neighbour is going to have a hard time finding kids his own age.
Even Dennis the Menace had his Mr. Wilson. It might be a difficult start, but once school kicks in he’ll be fine.
School here in Canada runs to the end of June. Not sure if he transferred or just took the month off from whatever school he was in before or is still going to the same school.
*shrug* Can’t say I care enough to find out. Does that make me a bad person?

New Opeth!!! Accessible to all. . . I’ll withhold my opinion.
http://www.metalsucks.net/2014/06/02/exclusive-worldwide-premiere-opeths-new-song-cusp-eternity/
That’s a foot tread squarely in progressive rock territory. As a song I quite like it, but I like challenging songs from Opeth and relative to their past work, it is somewhat simple. I won’t criticize them for following a new musical path, I always appreciate artist expanding their sound. I may even purchase this album, it just won’t be on my “music to run by” playlist.

You know what, I kind of liked this movie. They never actually showed any violence happening. There was a lot of allusion to bad things happening but you never actually saw it. Sometimes, allowing the viewer to use their own imagination works better than actually showing what’s happening
1 day left in Montreal. Anything I should bring back with me apart from beer? I can’t find Romulan ale anywhere. Wasn’t there some sort of sci-fi related coin or bill that was talked about here before?
Hi UH
The $5 has the Canada Arm and an astronaut doing a space walk. *shrug* I know Lo has one. 😉
danke!
And of course, you need to smuggle out as many Coffee Crisps as your bags can hold.

Oh, and say hello to The Roaming Asshat, if you see him. He’s apparently in Montreal now too.

Holy jeebus I actually saw Cap America. I know not everyone here has so without going into detail… did everyone catch what was written on the gravestone at the end of the film? Genius.
dammit, why did you not take me sir?
Cause Im a fool!
Actually my daughter will want to see it… so if you can come up my way some time in next couple weeks we can see it at super cheap 2$ theater!
I’m not sure. I might have missed it. Personally, I found it enjoyable how much Person of Interest and this movie had in common. 🙂
Oo! I did! I saw the gravestone inscription!
As much as I hated Cap 1, I really enjoyed #2. This might be the greatest improvement I can think of from original to sequel.
In your book sir!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will say, tho. That not only is it the best Marvel sequel, its one of the best Marvel films period.
I have to agree with this. I certainly didn’t expect a political thriller, but they did it very well while still providing the Hero side of things. Captain America in the movie didn’t feel like a comic book character, he felt like a hero. That nuance is missing from many comic book movies.
LIKE! (and not in the conversation ending way)

I Want! http://ca.ign.com/articles/2014/05/13/dragon-age-inquisition-inquisitors-edition-announced
Unfortunately, the super special edition isn’t available in Canada… yet. I have a note in to see if we will be getting it. If not, I may have to impose on one of the US Panites to have it sent to them then have them ship it to me. *sigh*
Australia! Why is this edition available in Australia but not Canada?
*sits in a corner and sulks*
This commercial made me laugh

RE: Facebook stalkery…
Now things is getting seriously weird.
Regards,
Lo
Do we need to stalk the stalker?
That’s Van’s call. I know this group could be very…persuasive. Mua. muaha. muamahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahacoughcough
I did my part 🙂
That’s an ominous statement to just drop with no further explanation.
It’s all very strange, she literally came out of the blue talking as if we had known each other for years.
goddammit I love you
Stalk you like a hurricane!
Here you am!
The past can be a cruel place:

That Corless woman does provide a tiny spark of humanity there…
Still, this species mostly sucks.
Mostly.
“And now that terrifying era of shame and silence is finally lifting, we are left to ask what all their lonesome suffering was in aid of, and what did it actually achieve?”
Indeed.
Goodnight, :mush:
Morning Pan
We had quite the storm last night. There was wind, rain, hail. All the good stuff.
So did we. I didn’t get any hail at my place, but some parts of town did. It was a “glued to the TV watching nonstop local weather coverage and waiting for weather alerts” kind of night. I was ready to go hide out in the laundry room on the bottom floor of my building if I had to, but, thankfully, I didn’t have to.
Today is a joyful day. For today is the start of the Hell of the 14 Covers…
YES!
In the world of gadgetry in Cynful-ville: I have traded in (figuratively) my flip phone for a Galaxy S 5. And in other gadgetry news they still won’t tell me what’s wrong with my Ipod touch. Win-lose?
Alright… we’ll call it a draw.

Considering getting an SSD for my desktop PC, Windows 8 is not too bad but the slow HD makes it rather painfully slow at times.
Once you go SSD, you can never go back. And they’re about to get a whole lot faster.
I have an SSD and a “normal” hard drive on my system. I put Windows and office on the SSD and data and games on the other. I notice the difference. I wish I could afford a terabyte or two SSD then I’d switch everything over.
Yep, there awesome. I have one for my OS and a regular one for data. I’m looking forward to getting a higher capacity one in the future.

Seriously, this is a huge step in the right direction. . . We must stop making it so easy for alienating parents to destroy lives.
So AZ gets a similar law…when?
2029
Nationwide, the system needs to be tougher on damaging parents of all kinds: physical abusers, emotional abusers, neglectors, alienators, etc.
I don’t want to incite any possible lurkers, so I’m going to step down from my soapbox now.
Fair enough. The fact you have to even step down from that soapbox on your own blog is a travesty

EssBee… the original 4 girls in L7 are now in their early 50’s.
Speaking of – its also the 20th Ann of L7’s seminal record “Hungry for Stink”. A shame its not getting the press as other albums of its day.
Fuck me, 1994 was a good year
The first book I bought (with pocket money) was in 1972.

You can take that back and you can take that back now.
I think they’d proudly agree, if you told them that. Or they’d kick your ass. Or both.
Yeah, it would probably be both, especially when you consider that this is sort of a reaction to the overproduced pop of the 80s.
Pah! I’ll just take away their walking sticks…
ditto gots it…
There’s a cream for that.
Youre a feisty one today…
Compared to now, it’s hard to think of anything 80’s pop being “overproduced”
But, that could just be my grumpy old man nostalgia talking…

This is Jack on Tiffany’s computer.
I kinda like it! And what a great band name. They remind me a tiny bit of a band called Saint Bernadette.
This is Lo Pan on Alvie’s computer. Saint Bernadette, you say?
I met her when they opened for Ume. I tried to play it cool but came off as a drooling idiot.

No completely solid plan yet, but next weekend I will be in Denver a short while. The kids will need some acclimating as they are staying three weeks there, but there may be some evening time for a beer or morning time for a greasy spoon meetup…

Tonight hubby and I attend the Alberta Publishers Awards dinner. Two of our books have been nominated in the Spec Fic category.
http://bookpublishers.ab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2014-Book-Publishing-Awards.pdf
I have a question. First the preamble:
We have a program/website called This is That which would be like the CDN version of The Onion. The other day I shared an article on Facebook by them, about Kinder Surprises being smuggled into the US. While I know the story is fake, it did lead to the following question:
Do you have Kinder Surprises and their nummy Kinder Bueno bars in the US? If not, should I bring a few in October? The Surprises are rather meh in my opinion but I loves the Buenos.
I liked them growing up, but the chocolate isn’t very good for my adult tastes. 🙂
I agree about Kinder Surprises but I would recommend you try the Bueno.
Sounds good to me. 🙂
Is the Bueno the one filled with hazelnut flavoured cream?
I have only seen Kinder products in a specialty store here, and not very frequently. I think they’re difficult to come by at best, but I have heard the illegal/smuggling rumor myself.
Cynful, the rumour is fake.
http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2014/06/02/canadian-kinder-surprise-smuggling-ring-broken-up-by-us-officials/
Two things:
Awesome about the awards dinner, Bunny! I hope your books win!
Two: Should you bring Canadian candies?yes.
Yes, Van. It’s hazelnut cream filled
Yeah we get them in the UK..nice.
Not so keen on the Kinder Eggs..based on taste not choking hazard.

Now…must have some breakfast, then will clean the washroom. As usual, my life is very exciting.
The new coin from the Canadian mint is pretty creepy, imo.
http://www.mint.ca/store/news/news-22000033?cat=News+releases&nId=700002&parentnId=600004&nodeGroup=About+the+Mint
The WW and Great Lakes ones are pretty cool though.
I already spoke of the coin. Where were you, ditto? 😉
I’ve not been on the boards much lately. 😉 Too much going on, though I try and visit. 🙂
I keep forgetting to find out if they ship to the US.
If not, let me know and we can work something out.
Ok. I can always ship to your house. 🙂
Since many of the Panites going to Colorado were not in AZ when I brought the CDN snack food I thought I’d bring a bunch more in October. Some of them others have tried but, if I have my list straight I should bring:
Coffee Crisps
Smarties
Kinder Surprises
Kinder Buenos
Hawkins Cheesies
Does that sound right? I think my suitcase will have more junk food in it than actual clothes and stuff.
T Cat politely requests that if you have some room she’d love it if you brought some Aero bars and Caramilk bars.
I didn’t realize that you didn’t have those in the States too. I’ll bring bunches.
Actually, it’s going to be close enough to Halloween I can get lots of little bars of most everything.
Coffee Crisps made an appearance on a trivia category I wrote recently…
Had breakfast, still haven’t cleaned the washroom. Must get on that.
Today is a low calorie day so I’m rather grumpy.
http://www.apkdad.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Grumpy-Bears-Icon2.png
Think I’ll use that one for a while.
There, my washroom is ready for the hoards.
Mom’s birthday is coming up. She made it very clear she didn’t like the gift basket I sent her for Mother’s Day so I have to come up with something else.
The smallest accomplishments can be huge when you just don’t know anything about a subject. I am due for my new tattoo tomorrow and I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo of a qr code that links to a web page where I can change the image, gif, movie, whatever at my whim. The big thing holding me up has only been that I don’t know ANYTHING about creating web pages. Attempts to use wordpress, joomla, etc. have been frustrating as hell because they want my pages to have their themes. Nothing had the simple page with media that I wanted. A friend at work helped me create what I needed today. Welcome to my future tattoo:
http://www.usedhair.net/qrtattoo
That’s a great idea for a tattoo. Although, I’d be just as impressed if you had that .gif animated on your skin.
Do you need one of us to fly in and hold your hand at the tattooist’s?
This will be my 22nd tattoo. A bit past the hand holding stage at this point. But, you can fly out and watch if you want.
It’s not overly warm (8C) but the sun is shining. I think I’ll go for a walk.
Fun fun sorting out this years energy bills.. Not!
re: candy. YES.
re: tattoos. I had a related experience today. I have a new doctor and had my lady appointment today. She was FASCINATED with my tattoos. “And this one? What is that?” I appreciate the attention?
Was that sarcasm?
/confused Brit
It was a bit sarcastic. I like my tattoos, but in the Dr. setting it was a bit odd.
Say, does anyone know when Orange is the New Black comes out?
/snark because I have a glut of announcements about this everywhere I look

I’m watching the first episode of the new season now.
Still waiting for A Clockwork Orange is the New Black.

Today!!!! goddamn its today!!!!!
It’s lunch time. There is nothing to eat in my house. Don’t want to eat out though as we will be having a big dinner at the banquet. Decisions, decisions.

So tonight’s plan to upgrade the HDD of my PS3 failed as three of the screws on the caddy refused to budge.
Sigh
I may have to get a friend to nuke the screws with a drill.
thats hot.

EssBee: did you ever try the recipe I sent you?
I am so very behind. ditto, haven’t tried the chicken yet, but it’s on my list. I’m buying a new grill this weekend – may try it there!
Sleepy . . .
Here we are, sitting in the lobby of a hotel. The website said the event started at six. We get here and are told it starts at 6:30. *sigh*
Pssst…. its a whole half hour diff. Youll be fine.
Now to start Orange is the New Black S2. Hard on awaits.

They soon get drunk and they ask, “Where’s the bathroom?” The bartender points to the door and they rush in.One piggy walks into a bar. He gets drunk out of his mind and then heads for the exit. “Hey, buddy! Do you want know where the bathroom is?” asks the bartender.”No thanks,” the piggy slurs, “I always go WEEWEEWEE all the way home!”
goddamn it.

The awards banquet was fun last night. I’m sure, the fact that one of our books won in in the spec fic category helped. Of the two of our books that were nominated I’m extra happy that One’s Aspect one. It is the book I had direct involvement in and even has my name in the copyright page. Woo hoo!

Another good day at the Con. Teresa and Cali talked with Nathon Fillion, I met and talked with Holly Conrad from the Heroes of Cosplay show.
Squeeeeee
Capt. Tightpants! Wish Cj and family good luck, if you go today and run into them at the Con. Rumor has it they’ll be one of the families in the “Geek Family Feud.”

First try at the qr code is not going well. The tattoo artist was too focused on the straightness of the lines and added more ink each time he wanted to make it straighter. So the lines are too fat. I’m not too upset yet because there is the possibility that the lines will thin out a little as it heals. From there I will have to go back once it can be worked on again and try to get it fixed. I’m not going to give up on it. I will make this thing work.
Pics! (unless it’s on your taint. If that’s the case, we’ll just take your word for it).
Pic accomplished on the Deadpan Flickr page.
Currently watching “Something Weird” 1967. I really need to do a better job of writing down why I put some of these movies on my cue. I have no idea why I wanted to watch it.
I remember now. I read in a MST3K story that it was the first movie that they used in their very first episode.
Not according to the wiki, it was The Green Slime.
Damn you and your facts. I went back to the article I was using and double checked. I did put Over-Sexed Rugsuckers From Mars on my list because of that article though. Now, if you want to really take the day, you can tell me just why I did put Something Weird on my cue.
You did it so when a friend asks “what did you do last night?”, you can answer, “Oh, just watched Something Weird”.
Because, how many movies have the word, “weird” in their title?
omg I had to look it up. There’s all of 2… wow.
Also accomplished: meeting up with EssBee and her brother at Sleepy Dog last night.
yassir!

Just saw on Van’s post that Rik Mayall passed. Fuck. May he and Vivian never be at odds again.
I’d forgotten he was also in Blackadder. Damn, 56 is way too young (NPI). RIP, Prick.

Checking in from a busy summer on the road. Well, the road just got me to and from.
Competed in my first “Street Vault” last Saturday. I sucked. Actually, pumped up by adrenaline, I found I had more speed and strength then I could handle. 🙁 Oh the humanity.
Went to the beach. Made some art. Read a book – Life as we knew it.” (mini review – the book is unnecessarily sloppy with it’s science, but a fun quick read.)
Sad about Rik Mayall. He made me laugh.
I don’t know if I love or hate this.

I’m hoping this was a DAvid Lynch/Kyle MacLachlan inspired theme restaurant and not the name of a strip club.
Or maybe I am not.
Never been, but I know that Cherry Pie isn’t the attraction of the restaurant… Unless you’re using Warrant’s definition of Cherry Pie.

Rhett, I didn’t know you were at Con! You should have pinged me! Hope you had a blast! I texted :Jack: but he disregarded Ralph’s and my texts and never responded. So there. 😉
Happy birthday, Cj! You must have texted my old number.
Sorry we missed you CJ. It was a bit hectic getting in and out of there, I barely had time to check if I was dressed or not.

On a less frustrating front, I bought something off eBay for the first time. It was a HDD caddy for the model of PS3 I own…yAh!

Cool! Through a strange, uninteresting coincidence, I just added Guilty to my playlist, to see if it holds up through the years. (Results still pending).
It holds up fairly well. Was a bigger fan of the version of “Blame” on the Escape from LA soundtrack

Oh yeah, I still have one more hockey debt to pay. Since Montreal lost to New York, somebody needs to choose a movie for me to do a pbp on.
actually, maybe give me a couple of choices since I’m never sure what NetFlix will have here in Canada.
Here’s one suggestion for a New York movie:
In America. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298845/?ref_=nv_sr_1
It’s actually a pretty darn good movie, only slightly traversing into sappy.
Another could be Mystery, Alaska, altho I’d never watch it myself. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134618/

Someone mentioned that Rik Mayall had died, so I decided to check for myself.
I spent an hour Googling “Young Ones” and “Bottom”, and have been asked to attend my local police station for questioning….
heh
Mayall made me laugh.
I still have episodes of “Young Ones” on VHS around here somewhere.
Hey now, I fondly recall the Young Ones. Not so much the 20-minute Alexei Sayle rants, but still loved the weirdness of it all.

After her conviction of murder in the second degree, the District Attorney, during her sentencing hearing said, “Mrs. Grey – after you put the arsenic in the stew and served it to your husband, didn’t you feel even a little remorse for what you were doing?” “I did,” she said calmly. “And when was that?” quipped the D.A. “When he asked for seconds!” she replied.
Bunny, I put NYC hockey movie debt suggestions above, in response to your request.
Yup, caught them, Jack. Might have to wait a week or so before I can watch them. Tomorrow, after lunch, I’m helping my Boo start her move. And then, likely, for the next week after that too.

Yeah….um…. first off fuck you for making me click another HuffPost article. Second…no.
Oh good grief!
A) The author of this article is grasping to generate controversy because it’s a great movie and she is trying to ride it’s coat-tails for “clicks”. Did you know that most of these authors get paid by the article visit? I talked with a former newspaper reporter whose paper had been bought by a media company and is now mainly on-line. He that told me his salary had been cut and (like a waiter who is supposed to make up for sub-minimum wage with tips) he was supposed to make the difference with click-through traffic. This financially forced him to write more articles on American Idle and “Honey BooBoo” and less articles on anything of substance.
B) The author admits in her article that she took a 5 YEAR OLD to see this movie! Given the amount of violence in this PG rated film, that she should chose to take a 5 year old and think nothing of it … THAT is something society needs to talk about.
So at the flicks, armed with a can of Dr Pepper, waiting for ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’.

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/justice-league-movie-to-hit-may-2017-wonder-woman-green-lantern-flash-crossover-coming-same-year-20140612
Ok dont click this… the website is awful. WTF puts black font on a black background??? Anyway here’s the synopsis-
DC COMICS FANS!! A list of possible upcoming films from the latest rumors:
-Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (May 2016)
-Shazam (July 2016)
-The Sandman (Christmas 2016)
-Justice League (May 2017)
-Wonder Woman (July 2017)
-a Flash and Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017)
-Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)
-Suicide Squad and Metal Men films are also on the table
First thought: I assume we’ll be in full-on superhero fatigue by then.
Second thought: Christmas 2016 for Sandman?
Third thought: I seriously hope they’re not going to subject us to Sandman among the Justice League heroes and villains.
Fourth: Will there also be a Super-Friends movie?
Fifth: I wonder if anyone put any snacks in the break room today. . .
See thats what Im thinking. We’ll also be in full Star Wars mode by then too. Also, wondering if the general public will see the JLA film as an Avengers rip off… DC really dropped the ball here.
I think I saw some ho-hos earlier

Your crap joke for a lazy Sunday:
While having their evening dinner together, a little girl looked up at her father and asked, “Daddy, you’re the boss in our family, right?” The father was very pleased to hear it and confidently replied, “Yes my little princess.” The girl then continued, “That’s because mommy put you in charge, right?”

And now, back to your regularly scheduled Monday.
Ah June. Our rainiest month.
Just saw a tweet from David Langford that Daniel Keyes (Flowers for Algernon) died yesterday.
Our guest room has become more of an extra storage room than anything else. I think I’m going to take today to completely clean it out. While we aren’t actually expecting any guests at the moment, why wait and then be rushed.
First, must fill my phone with podcasts to listen to while cleaning.
Podcasts? Don’t you need an iPod for one of those?
or an IPhone.
I try to resist clickbait, but this was worthy. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mikespohr/things-dads-do-that-you-wont-see-in-popular-culture
Well, I’ve cleaned the guest room as much as I can without hubby. I don’t want to throw a bunch of stuff out then have him come back and say he wanted to keep them.
I did, finally, decide to recycle my old textbooks that I seemed to have kept for 20 years. I want to do the same with hubby’s but, as I said above, won’t do it without asking him. I think we have the “it’s a book, of course you keep it” syndrome. Which is why we still have these.
“finally, decide to recycle my old textbooks that I seemed to have kept for 20 years.”
I have video editing and compositing software that would fit that description.
I just hate to ditch it because it still works (if I owned a PC) and I know how amazingly capable it is, 20 years old or not!
I always thought I’d find some young, up-and-comer, who had big dreams and no money that I would give it to.

Now for a spot of lunch, then some reading I think.
CR: Jam by Yahtzee Crowshaw
Are you going to throw a dice to decide if it’s good?
/waits for penny to drop.
Fifty points on Vanamonde’s score sheet!
Ha! True gamers will know Yahtzee as the person behind the Zero Punctuation reviews. I read his previous book, Mogworld, and enjoyed it enough to get this one.
Jam is a very… strange book. I’m a third of the way through it and haven’t decided if I like it or not. A book about a world covered in organic matter eating strawberry jam is… yeah, strange.
Tattoo update. One of the people I work with has developed an augmented reality app that can use the tattoo as a recognition image. I need to find some cool 3D models of arms and he needs to make the app work in the iTunes store. Once we both get our shit together, I can use the app to scan my arm and it will show a regular scene from the phone’s camera with my arm replaced by, oh let’s say Spider Man’s arm, and when I tap a button on the phone, my augmented reality arm will shoot a web or ignite a light saber, or what have you. Given some time, this will be awesome.
Chainsaw hand or GTFO.
— Seriously, I applaud your creative approach.
Thanks. But it wasn’t my idea. The augmented reality guy thought of it. I’m just along for the ride. On a random but awesome side, I stumbled into participating in a Cards Against Humanity tournament that turned out to be organized and participated in mostly by faculty at Full Sail University. They all seem to focus on computer modeling. I now have 2 contacts that can make 3D models of arms for me. Some weeks I just luck out beyond belief. Then again, I didn’t even make it to the finals of the tournament.
My rice cooker just died. What’s that about. It was a small one, the perfect size for two people. The store I bought it at, Zellers, no longer exists. Since they were bought out by Target, I’m hoping they have the same small rice cooker to replace this one.
… I also have to make sure I have no meals this week that I would want rice with since I won’t get a chance to look for one until the weekend.
I hear the pot and stovetop combination also works well for rice.
😉
I have a “faulty” rice cooker that someone gave to me and I will never get rid of it. Instead of making perfect rice, it gets too hot on the bottom and makes a layer of crispy browned rice. delicious. Hope it never dies (or decides to make a layer of crisply black-burnt rice).

Still raining.
Today I get to see if I can salvage an audio reading. Our narrator for this particular book did not record away from her computer so I have lots of background fan noise. Also, did not watch for popping P’s so I have to go in and remove bunches of pops. Since the main character is referred to as “skipper”, this may take awhile.
Your crap joke for the day:
A man went into a dentist and said “how much will it cost to have teeth taken out” “$90” said the dentist “that’s ridiculous” said the man.” I could lose the anesthetic and it would cost $60″ “that’s still to expensive,” said the man “if I don’t use any anesthesia I could knock the price down to $20″. Still to much” said the man.” Well one of my students can do it for $10″ said the dentist “perfect” said the man “book my wife for next Monday”.

I’ve been working through Gai-Jin, James Clavell’s last book before he died. Anyone else read it? It’s a thousand-pager, so at my reading rate, I’ll be done sometime in the early 2020s.
The Meiji Restoration stuff is definitely interesting, but wow, was Clavell a dirty old man.
A good, if not truncated article on Lateralus and its place in metal. Rhett/Jack…thoughts?
Link, please?
How dare me!
http://www.avclub.com/article/lateralus-tool-built-monument-metals-evolution-205649
You did!
I actually do not know Lateralus, beyond “Schism”. I do own and really admire the Aenima album, along with some of their earlier stuff, so I have no idea why this one missed me.
That said, I think the article may be overstating Lateralus’s importance.
I guess I should give it a listen, if the GoogleTube overlords will still allow it.
Its a good one. Much approved

Darn cat…
Okay, I’ll go there…..

While I’m happy and think this is a good thing, I’m very surprised it was Alberta leading the way. Alberta is a very redneck province. When gay marriage was passed, Alberta was the only province to threaten to take the Government of Canada to court over it. (they didn’t but it’s the thought that counts)

Van your stalker has been very very quiet. Did you tell her what for?
Maybe he finally realized he could unfriend her. 😉
Ooooooh techmology!
Techno-magical!
Is this relevant to the cat exiting the bag?
Well meOW, Jack
I simply blocked her from seeing most of my status updates.
Yes the streak on my back is yellow not white.
Understood. Its best to not have a white streak on your back. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.
Well, I think it’s time to each some cherries (yeah, yeah, I know) and watch last night’s Daily Show.
Lo, showed hubby the 10 brew houses you posted. He’s not a tiny bit jealous.
not = now. Silly fingers. :silly:
The Napa Valley of Beer is here for all to enjoy… he should have came…
I do look forward to (hopefully) someday getting hubby to a MMMmmmeetup.
What you don’t know is hubby doesn’t really exist. He just an elaborate fabrication on my part 😉
Oh we knew… just wanted you to admit it yourself. This whole thing is an intervention…
He exists in our hearts.

The newest edition (to my knowledge) to the next generation of Deadpan has arrived. My son had a daughter last night at 9:02pm. Accalia Lauren. 7lb, 19 ¼ inches. According to the Romans, Accalia was the human foster mother of Romulus and Remus. According to Urban Dictionary: with a name like this someone would have to be cool, amazing, punctual, and confident and the coolest person you will ever meet in your life. she enjoys long walks on the beach, making soup , and videos of her dancing to glamorous. whenever people see her they drop on the ground and chant “accalia is cool, accalia is mighty, i wish i can be as cool as accalia but i know that i cant because she is so awesome.”
kenzi- “woah your almost as cool as accalia , but thats impossible.. “
Grandpa Asshat!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Congrats, brother
That’s me alright.
Congrats on Asshat generation three!
“Asshat 3.0 – impossibly cool”
Congrats to you and all the family!
I *think* you’re the first grandparent among the inner circle! Congrats to you and the entire family! Acalia Is a beautiful name.
Congrats on the major revision. 🙂

Anybody here been catching the new “The Wil Wheaton Project”?
We’ve seen the two most recent episodes and find it quite humorous. I’m sure I’m probably not supposed to let my son watch it, but he’s old enough to find the crude humor hysterical.
The kids love Tabletop, but we’ve found it necessary to pre-screen the eps for age appropriateness. He’s not exactly Richard Pryor, but – – we’re just uptight fuddyduds.
We want to watch but we don’t get it her in Canada.
Saw one episode.
Enjoyed but I thought the language … well, it struck me as a little forced.
Almost like he was throwing in a few curse words to make sure everyone knew he was all grow’d up now.
I think he would be just as funny with out the roughness and would expand his geeky goodness to THE NEXT GENERATION. (see what I did there?)

Watched on mute. I know lots of folks who attend that Con, but the only person I recognized is Sarah Hunter, who’s done some acting for Tee and Pip’s Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences videos.
Professor Elemental is fantastic. I’ll have to rewatch when I can with sound.

There, my washroom is nice and clean. Now it’s time to make cookies :cheerful:
Oh yeah, it’s my mother’s birthday today. I guess I better call her some time this morning. *sigh*
Ok Deadpan. Today we make mint chocolate chip brownie cookies!
And, just to show how geeky I am, I am going to use my R2D2 measuring cups I got for Mother’s Day
Help Me bake, Obi Won Kenobi.
You are my only hope to borrow a cup of sugar.
First I put 1 cup of regular chocolate chips, one square of semi-sweet chocolate, and some butter in a bowl
I put this I’m the microwave to melt
“I’m the microwave” coo coo kachoo
Oops, I forgot to sprY. My cookie sheets with Pam. Better do that now
Flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda go into a mixing bowl
We add one egg and one egg white along with some vanilla
Add the melted chocolate
Once we have mixed that all together, we add the mint chocolate chips
Now we make cookie sized balls … *taps foot, *while waiting for J0e’s comment 😉 *… And put them on a cookie sheet.
There, now the cookie sheets with cookie dough have been put in the oven. In about fifteen minutes we’ll have warm chocolatey cookies
Now, I clean my kitchen while waiting.
My cookies have stopped screaming and are now cooling their heels on my counter.
They were screaming? You might want to check your house for any cryptonomicons or maybe a portal.
I just know I’d scream if I was put into a hot oven so I just assume anything else would too.
Sorry, Bunny, I can’t see any of your comments today. Perhaps I need to… (wait for it, wait for it)… enable cookies on my browser?
I’ll get me coat.
dammit.
Out into the dessert with you!
bah!
I think we need to pour some sugar on him.

Your crap joke for the day:
A guy was walking along the street when he saw a crowd of people running towards him. He stopped one of the runners and asked: “What’s happening?” The runner replied breathlessly: “A lion has escaped from the zoo.” “Oh my, which way is it heading?” “Well you don’t think we are chasing it, do you?”
dammit2
Sorry, Van, but I’m afraid that crap joke of the day crown was claimed above you.

RE: Dominion
Anthony Head should win an award for worst US accent by a Brit EVAR!
there’s a table top game named Dominion. It’s fun.
The is a TV series based on the Legion film.
Oh, I dunno – there are some Americans who sound like him. It was definitely a bit of a caricature, but I think that was intentional.
So far, I think this one has promise – the show that is. Interesting that they are setting up as a sequel to the movie.
They should have alternated between left and right. Still interesting.
http://www.mobiledia.com/news/199675.html
This was interesting. I chew gum a lot. Mostly because the medication I’m on drys me out so chewing gum help with saliva production… and doesn’t make me need to use the washroom a bazillion times like constantly sipping a liquid would.
Your crap World Cup related joke for the day:
Me & my missus favourite sexual position is called the ”England football team” ! . . . Neither of us know what we’re doing or why we’re there, there’s no passion, no
communication & we never make it past the 1st stage. There’s horrible dribbling & never a clean sheet. Its over far too quickly & when it does end I know it’ll be at least
another four fuckin years before it happens again!
UnJingo ahoy!
And Americans are completely lost or bored when they’re watching?
Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby has all the windows open and a fan on. While it’s not cold, it’s not really that warm here. In fact, the furnace has come on. I told him he should either close the windows or shut of the furnace. I think I lost that bit of hinting as all the windows are still open and I’m now wearing a sweater. *sigh*
I want you to know I have been a very good girl. Steam has started its summer sales and I haven’t purchased a single game so far. Let’s see if I can make that last.
Yes, I’ve resisted as well. Though, it helps that I never really played much of what I bought last year. Tried a couple of them, but really couldn’t get into them.
I see Skyrim is currently $5 for the base game and $13.50 for the complete edition. Definitely good deals if someone hasn’t gotten them yet.
Watching Battle for Terra. I’m about half an hour in and I’m not impressed. Heavy handed preaching and cliches from every direction.

Speaking of John Carpenter! The local Cult Classics group did a theater screening of The Thing tonight, which was really fun to rewatch. Ten thousand points to Desert Pixie for staying up late with me.
It was fun! I’d never seen The Thing. I mean, I’ve seen *the thing* and it’s wayyyyy better looking than The Thing.
10,000000000 points to Jack Mangan for being totally rad.
+100 points to Kurt Russell’s hair circa 1982
3rd greatest Kurt Russell film ever. Second greatest hair.
Is The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes the greatest Kurt Russell film?
As Van pointed out elsewhere, the original is a pretty good b/w movie too. I haven’t seen the recent one.
Crap joke for a lazy Sunday:
Three men wanted to cross a river. They had no idea how to cross it, so one man knelt down on his knees and prayed “Lord give me the power and strength the cross the river.” suddenly the man became very strong and swam across the river. The next man thought: if it worked for him, it’ll work for me. So he knelt down and prayed “Lord give the skills and the strength to cross the river.” the man built a canoe and rowed himself across the river. The last man thought: if it worked for both of them, I know it’ll work for me. So he also knelt down and prayed “Lord give me the wisdom and knowledge to cross the river.” He turned into a woman and walked across the bridge.

Just watched Phase 7. Nifty little Argentine outbreak thriller. Course it could have sucked and Id still have liked it for no other reason that the lead character wore a S.O.D shirt
Did that character speak english?
He didnt! (well 99% of the time)
Whether or not he died would be a spoiler…
Re watching Ladyhawke. Still a great movie. However, the soundtrack doesn’t seem to match up well with the action.
If you can ONLY by tickets to something, on-line … can that extra $5 they tack on still technically be considered a “convenance charge” or is it just that the tickets are really $5 more than advertised?
If they call it a “fuck you” charge, you might just complain. And they can’t have that now can they.
At least if they called it that, theyd be honest
