“Crap” science ?
63 podcasts have piled up during my break. Time to get deleting….
Amen, brother.
Down to 44. Some are just an automatic delete. Others, like the music podcasts, I can quickly scan. So far the music has been meh.
Is there any good music one you recommend?
What do you like music wise?
Insomnia Radio, KEXP Song of the Day, and NPR Song of the Day are three that I favor. I like the fact that I get a song and not an hour long podcast where I have to wade through talking/trying to figure out the songs. I don’t like radio “personalities” so I’m not going to listen to the same in a podcast. Just the music please.
I’ve caught up and run out of podcasts to listen too .
The horror, horror..
Take some of mine and give me the Cliffnotes version
I’m glad when I’ve caught up on podcasts. That gives me more time to listen to my music. 😀
And before I forget, in response to Jack’s show notes…
And a Happy 2014 to you Mr. MFer. 😉
Morning Pan
Work for me today. Not for hubby. We really need to sync this better.
Down to 22. I think that’s as far as I’ll get today.
The new podcast app has really spoiled my enjoyment of podcasts . . .
/getoffmylawn
How so?
I use my iPhone, and just prefer being able to manage my podcasts on my computer and then synch to the phone. I don’t like that I may be burning data to download a podcast. I think mostly, just old and grumpy.
Well I am old and grumpy and I like being free from connecting my phone to to the computer.
I only use my ipod. I don’t listen to music or podcasts on my phone.
I gave my iPod to B when hers shit the bed, so I’m all phone . . .
We should all have such problems, seriously!
Riot in the streets!
Ess, I too don’t like to use the podcast app as I listen to podcasts on both my computer and my phone. I discovered a way around the problem and don’t have the app on my phone at all. I’m heading out for a bit now but, if you want to know the workaround, I can let you know when I come back (post it on the Pan)
please do!
I too would like to know.
I am faced with migrating to an iPhone … still haven’t updated my iTunes so it can sink to it.
I like the iTunes interface I am currently using and am loath to change it.
“please george do us all a faver and stop writing books.”
Definitely not Van Halen’s best album.
Ok, I’m back.
In answer to the podcast workaround. It’s a tiny bit of work but it does what I want.
First, you will have to remove the podcast app from your phone or other idevice. If the podcast app picks up the new podcasts, ITunes on your computer won’t always get them.
2) create a playlist in your iTunes (I call mine “sneak” but you can call it whatever you want)
3) When you get new podcasts through your iTunes, move them over to the playlist you created.
4) go into the info on the podcasts (ctr I). This can be done as a group, however you cannot change video and audio podcasts at the same time, you will have to grab all the audio and change them, then grab the videos and change them
5) In the info screen:
a) under the tab “info” change the “genre” from podcast to… pretty much anything else. I just call mine Other.
b) go to the “options” tab and change the “media kind” into “music” for audios or “music videos” for videos.
6) Sync your phone to ITunes on the computer. (don’t forget to add the new play list to the items you want to sync to your phone.)
7) Enjoy.
One note on this, sometimes, when you change the podcasts from being podcasts to music, Itunes doesn’t realize you’ve already downloaded the podcast so it will want to do it agai. Since I’m about two months behind on my podcasts, I have them all in my sneak playlist but usually just change the ones I plan to listen to on my phone for the short term and leave the rest as “podcasts” until I’m ready to listen to them.
Hope this helps.
It’s the changing the type from podcasts to music that’s important. All the other stuff is more my own things for keeping track of it
thanks, I’ll give it a whirl.
My Secret Santa gift just arrived. The t-shirt fits perfectly – both in size on style. I’ll wear it next week when we play D & D with our friends.
Thanks, Jack!
Phew! Relieved on all counts. 🙂

Maybe I’ll wear it at the next mmmmmmmeetup.

Your crap joke for the evening:
A Post Office worker at the main sorting office finds an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope addressed to God. He opens it and discovers it is from an elderly lady, distressed because some thief robbed her of 100 dollars. She will be cold and hungry for the rest of the month if she doesn’t receive some divine intervention.The worker organizes a collection amongst the other postal workers, who dig deep and come up with 96 dollars. They get it to her by special courier the same morning.A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same hand on another envelope. He opens it and reads: “Dear God, Thank you for the 100 dollars. This month would have been so bleak otherwise. P.S. It was four dollars short but that was probably those thieving bastards at the Post Office.”

… aaand iTunes has wiped my iPhone clean.
All my contacts I spent 3 days entering into it … Goodbye!
did you restore form backup? that always works for me.
from even.
to odd
Yes you are!
No. This was the first time I had synced it and making a back-up was the first thing on my agenda. Apparently things went wrong.
For some reason when I “synced” it to iTunes it reset the iPhone. Made me start over with the whole set-up procedure.
After going through all that again, I was able to restore from my iPod’s back-up.
So I have some contacts but since that wasn’t a phone … not so much.
I also lost all the carefully thought out settings for everything.
I have “tilt to live” though.
Things are looking up then.
Well the new graphics card is rather dull looking compared to the old one.

After nearly 50 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife felt her husband, begin to massage her in ways he hadn’t in quite some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his hand down, stopping just over her stomach. He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf. Then, he proceeded up her thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent. As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, ‘Honey that was wonderful. Why did you stop?’ To which he responded: ‘I found the remote.’

Your crap joke for the day:
Three convicts were on the way to prison. They were each allowed to take one item with them to help them occupy their time while incarcerated. On the bus, one turned to another and said, “So, what did you bring?” The second convict pulled out a box of paints and stated that he intended to paint anything he could. He wanted to become the “Grandma Moses of Jail”. Then he asked the first, “What did you bring?” The first convict pulled out a deck of cards and grinned and said, “I brought cards. I can play poker, solitaire, gin, and any number of games.” The third convict was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself. The other two took notice and asked, “Why are you so smug? What did you bring?” The guy pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said, “I brought these.” The other two were puzzled and asked, “What can you do with those?” He grinned and pointed to the box and said, “Well according to the box, I can go horseback riding, swimming, roller-skating….”
Speaking of! It looks like we’re settling in on May 16ish weekend as the MMMmmmeetup weekend?! How does everyone feel about doing Colorado this year?
I think you know how me n Ess feel…
We’re the hosts with the mosts.
We’d prefer Colorado. As far as the timing, I think that weekend should be fine.
Looks like I’m out this year, can’t do the 16th.
Feh!
The curse of Lo Pan strikes again :-p
NO!!
Well, what dates would work for you, Van?
I can do the 16th. If we’re doing Colorado, any time in June should work too. If that works better with Van’s schedule.
If it helps folks logistically, I can fit 3 comfortably in my house. 4-5 if we all wanna be real good friends. We’ll just need to finger it out by Feb cause it’ll take me me 3 months to clean up after my kids. Heh.
As a Broncos fan, I struggle with Peyton Manning’s great performance mixed with his politics and boring-ness. I feel better about it hearing this, because he probably struggles with his conservative-ness mixed with how much $ he’s making off of Papa John’s in Denver now that everyone is high.
This week I started the 5+2 diet.
Today was a low calorie day, I’m really looking forward to that bowl of cereal at the end of my shift.
Good luck, Van!
Go man!
So, we (meaning I) came up with a brilliant idea. Being a small press, we can’t afford to pay the going rate for audio book narrations. I contacted the U of C’s drama department to see if they had anybody who would be interested in doing this for a minimal fee, experience, and something to put in their portfolio. Within half an hour, I’ve had a couple of students jump at the chance, with more potential candidates queuing up.
I don’t know what to do with all these narrators I suddenly have.
Full cast audio drama!
(I kid. Don’t do that.)
And I’ll form the head!

A chinook rolled in during the evening. We are NOT expected to have snow and actually reach a temperature above the freezing rate.
Regarding the above conversation, I just want you to know the sacrifice I will be making if we go to Colorado. West Jet does not have a flight to Denver. I will either have to fly Air Canada or United. *puts hand dramatically to forehead* Oh the tragedy.
Seriously though, Lo and/or EssBee will have to tell us of a decent hotel that will be close to wherever we will be spending the most time. Myself, and possibly ditto, based on past mmmmeetups, will probably be hoteling it.
Doesn’t have to be overly fancy. Just clean and not stupid.
Nah. Youre slumming it.
Ok, dirty. Still not stupid.
I can never ever guarantee not stupid when it comes to people. Clean and nice I can recommend.

It certainly makes purchasing easier.as for you question, I suspect the next iPad will have it.
You’d think this year’s would have it since it came out around the same time as the phone. But, oh no…
I guess I’ll miss it for a bit since I have no intention of getting a new ipad next year.

Yeah, if that’s the case, I’m not interested.

Not interested in a spicey Chinese lass or a serioused upChuck?
Nope. Part of the charm of Chuck was it’s blend of humor and seriousness. Making the show just a spy show doesn’t sound appealing to me. And the other part? Ming Na. *swoon*. 😀

I should specify – “That’s enough” is not a song by A Day to Remember, but rather me telling them to just stop.
Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on. It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. “I’ll bet you $10 he’ll jump,” said the first guy. “Bet you $10 he won’t,” said the second guy. Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. The second guy hands the first guy the money. “I can’t take your money,” said the first guy. “I cheated you. The same story was on the five o’clock news.” “No, no. Take it,” said the second guy. “I saw the five o’clock news too. I just didn’t think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!”
Many of us have been waiting years for this. I’m glad it might finally be released. 😀

Your crap joke for the day:
A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He grew increasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be heard.When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned for the next day and he would have to return the next day.”What for?” he snapped at the judge.His honor, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp query roared, “Twenty dollars contempt of court. That’s why!”Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge relented. “That’s all right. You don’t have to pay now.”The young man replied, “I’m just seeing if I have enough for two more words.”
“They are part of a group called Exploration who have travelled for 24 hours in a cramped army truck to get to this forest near St Petersburg. Conditions are basic – they camp in the woods – and some days they have to wade waist-deep through mud to find the bodies of the fallen. The work can be dangerous, too. Soldiers are regularly discovered with their grenades still in their backpacks and artillery shells can be seen sticking out of the trees. Diggers from other groups elsewhere in Russia have lost their lives.”

On the other hand: Lots of quality time spent roaming the aisles in those places.
When hubby was studying for his masters he worked part time at Roger’s Video, the Canadian version of Block Buster’s. They don’t exist any more either.

Oh, the possibilities!
The chance to watch the films YOU wanted to see with the people YOU chose to sit with in the comfort of your own place!!! It was such a bold new world.
Video rental stores were also a bold new world because actually buying VHSs at the time was priced way out of most people’s leagues.

I see a date has been picked for the mmmeetup. I guess there will be no Van as I know that date didn’t work for him 🙁
Yup, fingers crossed for next year.
No, no! Stupid FB didn’t let me enter “TBD” in the date field. The purpose of that page is really to determine the best date for the MMMmmmeetup. I’m assuming now that it WON’T be that weekend, since we’d lose Amy and Van.
I just posted this to the Deadpan FB page:
The Deadpan committee has proposed that the annual MMMmmeetup take place in Colorado this year! Are you up for an Avalanche of Bronco Nuggets in the Rockies?

That should be a secure and locked-down discussion place…. The non-FBers among us can discuss workable dates here.

From the “Shut the Fuck Up” and “Who Fucking Cares” files:
A chicken farmer walked up to the ticket window at the theater and the ticket agent asked, “Sir, what’s that on your shoulder?”The old farmer said, “That’s my pet rooster Chuck. Wherever I go, Chuck goes.”..”I’m sorry sir,” said the ticket agent. “We can’t allow animals in the theater.”The old farmer went around the corner and stuffed the bird down his overalls then he returned to the booth, bought a ticket, and entered the theater.He sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge.The movie started and the rooster began to squirm. the old farmer unbuttoned his fly so Chuck could stick his head out and watch the movie.”Marge,” whispered Mildred…”What?” said Marge…”I think the guy next to me is a pervert.””What makes you think so?” asked Marge.”He undid his pants and he has his thing out,” whispered Mildred.”Well, don’t worry about it,” said Marge. “Hell, at our age, we’ve seen ’em all.”..”I thought so too,’ said Mildred, “but this one’s eatin’ my popcorn.”

We saw American Hustle last night and enjoyed it. It’s the first film I’ve loved Amy Adams in, and holy crap Christian Bale is great in that. As for the girl-on-girl make-out scene, that was NOT a make-out scene!
NO it wasnt. I found that that film has MUCH more hype than deserved, but still enjoyable
Agreed and agreed about American Hustle, EssBee. Definitely good and well-acted (Bradley Cooper! Who knew?), but not Best Picture.
The kiss also didn’t make much sense. I suspect it was in there to stir-up word-of-mouth and lure people in. Pun ignored.

Go Avs!! Lo, you need to teach me how to enjoy hockey. I don’t have it yet.

We might be buying a new couch in the next few days. There is nothing wrong with ours but hubby wants to get a reclining couch. When I saw my therapist yesterday hubby asked me to ask her if we should get a new couch. The silly therapist agreed with hubby and said a recliner would be better for me than our current couch. I’m not sure how that happened. :ermm:
She also told me I shouldn’t be playing racquetball.
Doctor’s can sure spoil your fun sometimes.
FWIW, Bunny, I think you should be playing racquetball.
Can you be my doctor, Jack?
Technically I’m not suppose to do anything high impact, which is why I had to quit marshal arts. Hubby and I started playing racquetball without me asking my doctor first. I mentioned it in passing on Friday and she reminded me of that.
*sigh*
Yes I’ve never forgiven your therapist for that’s:-p

I think I’m done with Arkham Origins. I cannot, for the life of me, control that effing remote batarang. I’m at a point in the game where I cannot progress without it. I’ve spent a couple of days now fighting with it.

I’m in a pissy mood now because I won’t be able to continue playing.

This is one of my common complaints with these games.
They should be about the choices you make, the targets you pick, weapons/tools you choose and not how well you can work the games hardware interface.

Off to see the Scottish Games in Winter Springs, FL today. If luck serves me well there will be haggis that I can try.
Or if you’re even luckier … they won’t make you.
Maybe Van can get you some haggis on his connecting trip through Edinburgh.
Got my haggis. Tastes kind of like corned beef hash.
That doesn’t sound like any haggis I’ve had. 😀
ditto took the words right out of my mouth.
I didn’t really expect the truck at a local event to have the good stuff. Their shepherd’s pie also blew chunks and they were serving “Scottish BBQ” which seems a bit of an oxymoron. I did get some Marmite from one of the British food vendors. That tasted like spreading a beef bouillon cube on a piece of toast but wasn’t as bad as the stories I’ve heard.
I’m not actually done with this series but I’m putting it on the backburner, to watch if there is nothing better to watch.
It’s really that dumb.
Well, we went on a successful hunt for new furniture. But we did learn something. We were wondering around the store looking at couches. Then we’d go onto the store’s website to see what the reviews were for that piece of furniture. We ended up saving $200 because, on the store’s website, the items we were looking at was less than on their floor. I think I’m going to compare a company’s website vs. floor prices from now on when shopping for big ticket items.
However, we did not get a reclining couch. We ended up getting a pair of reclining chairs instead. Sort of equals the same thing when all is said and done.

So my nephew was the featured interview-ee in a story that Time Magazine just did on “Crossfit”. I read the article and was shocked because it didn’t reflect anything I had experienced in the 9 months I’ve been participating. Time painted it as some sort of dark, crazed, dangerous thing.
I was talking with my father about the article and according to him, when my nephew saw the article he contacted the writer and ask why he wrote things that were 180 degrees the opposite of what my nephew had told him … the writer said “It makes a better story that way.” :blink:

Those are both fantastic, Amy. I recognized the writer of the second one, but needed Google to identify the actual work.
Thanks, Jack! :happy: Yeah, the author of that first one is pretty easy to recognize. 🙂 *hands you a cookie*
D’oh! I meant to type “the author of that second one.” :silly:
Watching the news because I’m waiting in an airport and have little choice. A commentator just looked at the results of a poll in which 67% of those polled said… whatever. The commentator says “almost three quarters of people polled said…”. This is why I hate the media. Slap almost in front of something and math no longer applies. 2/3 becomes almost 3/4. $#@!#$#@@!@###@!#$$^&&%%$$
Then there is always the poll in which they have 3 choices, choice 1 gets 40% and choices 2 & 3 both get 30% … and a talking head announces “Recent poll shows the majority of the public wants “A”. This in spite of the math showing that the majority chose otherwise.
Another thing that seems to be in maddeningly in vogue is the response, “Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion.” when you point out that their math(or really any other recorded fact) is not actually correct.

“Last year, Paramount’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters topped out at a disappointing $55.7 million domestically, but earned $170 million internationally for a global total of $225.7 million, enough to pursue a sequel. ”
Confession – I rather enjoyed the movie. I’m curious to see if they can really get the actors back for a sequel.
Ed I heartily second that. Really enjoyed it. Delish mix of ridiculous steampunk fairy tale and corset loving monster fighters. Plus, I think a sequel would be better now that there’s a team. If you know what I mean.
Add me to the pleasure of Hansel & Gretel.
Count me in. It was pure fun. 😀
OK, I guess we need to watch this.

We’ve made two attempts to watch S1E1, but the DVD was damaged, so we missed scenes, missed story, and were completely thrown.

Yes, totally worth it. Jack, we have the DVDs and would be happy to loan em to you guys when we see you.
Okay, beer guys. I already shared this with Alvie, but ditto & justa and others might have input on this. I bottled my high gravity amber ale Monday, and according to my hydrometer readings, it’s 18% ABV. It was intentionally high gravity yeast, and was VERY ACTIVE on fermentation. Even so, is this even possible?
It’s ready to drink Superbowl Sunday!
Oh man… I say you call it Hurry Hurry Amber
love it! i was thinking “on your ass amber”
Very possible. Have tasted it?
Call it slAmber?
tasted it – it was good!
slAmber!!!
Is it super potent?
I’d say call it “18 and Life Amber”, but. . . no, please don’t.
EssBee has issued an “Amber Alert”
Each bottle should come with a space to put your picture on it before opening.
This will make finding you a bit easier when we have to bring in the search teams later on in the evening.
Because YES 18% is quite achievable.
“Amber Alert” hit my creep-alert!
I just cannot believe I made a 18% beer! I guess when I knock myself out and miss the Super Bowl, I’ll believe it!
Sorry about the going too far thing … it’s one of my super powers.:angel:
So I find that making “uber” beers was fun at first but then it was sort of … well, when you make 5 gallons of beer that … well … you drink a 20 oz bottle of it and your day/evening has pretty much come to a halt …
… it’s novel but sometimes you just want to have a beer and not get blasted.
Still, keep them in a cool dark place for special occasions. They won’t spoil! 🙂

63 podcasts have piled up during my break. Time to get deleting….
Amen, brother.
Down to 44. Some are just an automatic delete. Others, like the music podcasts, I can quickly scan. So far the music has been meh.
Is there any good music one you recommend?
What do you like music wise?
Insomnia Radio, KEXP Song of the Day, and NPR Song of the Day are three that I favor. I like the fact that I get a song and not an hour long podcast where I have to wade through talking/trying to figure out the songs. I don’t like radio “personalities” so I’m not going to listen to the same in a podcast. Just the music please.
I’ve caught up and run out of podcasts to listen too .
The horror, horror..
Take some of mine and give me the Cliffnotes version
I’m glad when I’ve caught up on podcasts. That gives me more time to listen to my music. 😀

Work for me today. Not for hubby. We really need to sync this better.
Down to 22. I think that’s as far as I’ll get today.
The new podcast app has really spoiled my enjoyment of podcasts . . .
/getoffmylawn
How so?
I use my iPhone, and just prefer being able to manage my podcasts on my computer and then synch to the phone. I don’t like that I may be burning data to download a podcast. I think mostly, just old and grumpy.
Well I am old and grumpy and I like being free from connecting my phone to to the computer.
I only use my ipod. I don’t listen to music or podcasts on my phone.
I gave my iPod to B when hers shit the bed, so I’m all phone . . .
We should all have such problems, seriously!
Riot in the streets!
Ess, I too don’t like to use the podcast app as I listen to podcasts on both my computer and my phone. I discovered a way around the problem and don’t have the app on my phone at all. I’m heading out for a bit now but, if you want to know the workaround, I can let you know when I come back (post it on the Pan)
please do!
I too would like to know.
I am faced with migrating to an iPhone … still haven’t updated my iTunes so it can sink to it.

Ok, I’m back.
In answer to the podcast workaround. It’s a tiny bit of work but it does what I want.
First, you will have to remove the podcast app from your phone or other idevice. If the podcast app picks up the new podcasts, ITunes on your computer won’t always get them.
2) create a playlist in your iTunes (I call mine “sneak” but you can call it whatever you want)
3) When you get new podcasts through your iTunes, move them over to the playlist you created.
4) go into the info on the podcasts (ctr I). This can be done as a group, however you cannot change video and audio podcasts at the same time, you will have to grab all the audio and change them, then grab the videos and change them
5) In the info screen:
a) under the tab “info” change the “genre” from podcast to… pretty much anything else. I just call mine Other.
b) go to the “options” tab and change the “media kind” into “music” for audios or “music videos” for videos.
6) Sync your phone to ITunes on the computer. (don’t forget to add the new play list to the items you want to sync to your phone.)
7) Enjoy.
One note on this, sometimes, when you change the podcasts from being podcasts to music, Itunes doesn’t realize you’ve already downloaded the podcast so it will want to do it agai. Since I’m about two months behind on my podcasts, I have them all in my sneak playlist but usually just change the ones I plan to listen to on my phone for the short term and leave the rest as “podcasts” until I’m ready to listen to them.
Hope this helps.
It’s the changing the type from podcasts to music that’s important. All the other stuff is more my own things for keeping track of it
thanks, I’ll give it a whirl.

Your crap joke for the evening:
A Post Office worker at the main sorting office finds an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope addressed to God. He opens it and discovers it is from an elderly lady, distressed because some thief robbed her of 100 dollars. She will be cold and hungry for the rest of the month if she doesn’t receive some divine intervention.The worker organizes a collection amongst the other postal workers, who dig deep and come up with 96 dollars. They get it to her by special courier the same morning.A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same hand on another envelope. He opens it and reads: “Dear God, Thank you for the 100 dollars. This month would have been so bleak otherwise. P.S. It was four dollars short but that was probably those thieving bastards at the Post Office.”

did you restore form backup? that always works for me.

Yes you are!
No. This was the first time I had synced it and making a back-up was the first thing on my agenda. Apparently things went wrong.
For some reason when I “synced” it to iTunes it reset the iPhone. Made me start over with the whole set-up procedure.
After going through all that again, I was able to restore from my iPod’s back-up.
So I have some contacts but since that wasn’t a phone … not so much.
I also lost all the carefully thought out settings for everything.

Crap joke for the evening:
After nearly 50 years of marriage, a couple was lying in bed one evening, when the wife felt her husband, begin to massage her in ways he hadn’t in quite some time. It almost tickled as his fingers started at her neck, and then began moving down past the small of her back. He then caressed her shoulders and neck, slowly worked his hand down, stopping just over her stomach. He then proceeded to place his hand on her left inner arm, working down her side, passing gently over her buttock and down her leg to her calf. Then, he proceeded up her thigh, stopping just at the uppermost portion of her leg. He continued in the same manner on her right side, then suddenly stopped, rolled over and became silent. As she had become quite aroused by this caressing, she asked in a loving voice, ‘Honey that was wonderful. Why did you stop?’ To which he responded: ‘I found the remote.’
You kill with truth
He should have just gotten “The Clapper”

Your crap joke for the day:
Three convicts were on the way to prison. They were each allowed to take one item with them to help them occupy their time while incarcerated. On the bus, one turned to another and said, “So, what did you bring?” The second convict pulled out a box of paints and stated that he intended to paint anything he could. He wanted to become the “Grandma Moses of Jail”. Then he asked the first, “What did you bring?” The first convict pulled out a deck of cards and grinned and said, “I brought cards. I can play poker, solitaire, gin, and any number of games.” The third convict was sitting quietly aside, grinning to himself. The other two took notice and asked, “Why are you so smug? What did you bring?” The guy pulled out a box of tampons and smiled. He said, “I brought these.” The other two were puzzled and asked, “What can you do with those?” He grinned and pointed to the box and said, “Well according to the box, I can go horseback riding, swimming, roller-skating….”

I think you know how me n Ess feel…
We’re the hosts with the mosts.
We’d prefer Colorado. As far as the timing, I think that weekend should be fine.
Looks like I’m out this year, can’t do the 16th.
Feh!
The curse of Lo Pan strikes again :-p
NO!!
Well, what dates would work for you, Van?
I can do the 16th. If we’re doing Colorado, any time in June should work too. If that works better with Van’s schedule.
If it helps folks logistically, I can fit 3 comfortably in my house. 4-5 if we all wanna be real good friends. We’ll just need to finger it out by Feb cause it’ll take me me 3 months to clean up after my kids. Heh.

Pretty fun discussion about athletics and legal weed in Colorado. It’s toward the end: http://www.edgeofsports.com/audio.html
As a Broncos fan, I struggle with Peyton Manning’s great performance mixed with his politics and boring-ness. I feel better about it hearing this, because he probably struggles with his conservative-ness mixed with how much $ he’s making off of Papa John’s in Denver now that everyone is high.
This week I started the 5+2 diet.
Today was a low calorie day, I’m really looking forward to that bowl of cereal at the end of my shift.
Good luck, Van!
Go man!
So, we (meaning I) came up with a brilliant idea. Being a small press, we can’t afford to pay the going rate for audio book narrations. I contacted the U of C’s drama department to see if they had anybody who would be interested in doing this for a minimal fee, experience, and something to put in their portfolio. Within half an hour, I’ve had a couple of students jump at the chance, with more potential candidates queuing up.
I don’t know what to do with all these narrators I suddenly have.
Full cast audio drama!
(I kid. Don’t do that.)
And I’ll form the head!

A chinook rolled in during the evening. We are NOT expected to have snow and actually reach a temperature above the freezing rate.
Regarding the above conversation, I just want you to know the sacrifice I will be making if we go to Colorado. West Jet does not have a flight to Denver. I will either have to fly Air Canada or United. *puts hand dramatically to forehead* Oh the tragedy.
Seriously though, Lo and/or EssBee will have to tell us of a decent hotel that will be close to wherever we will be spending the most time. Myself, and possibly ditto, based on past mmmmeetups, will probably be hoteling it.
Doesn’t have to be overly fancy. Just clean and not stupid.
Nah. Youre slumming it.
Ok, dirty. Still not stupid.
I can never ever guarantee not stupid when it comes to people. Clean and nice I can recommend.

Nope. Part of the charm of Chuck was it’s blend of humor and seriousness. Making the show just a spy show doesn’t sound appealing to me. And the other part? Ming Na. *swoon*. 😀

Two guys were in a bar, and they were both watching the television when the news came on. It showed a guy on a bridge who was about to jump, obviously suicidal. “I’ll bet you $10 he’ll jump,” said the first guy. “Bet you $10 he won’t,” said the second guy. Then, the guy on the television closed his eyes and threw himself off the bridge. The second guy hands the first guy the money. “I can’t take your money,” said the first guy. “I cheated you. The same story was on the five o’clock news.” “No, no. Take it,” said the second guy. “I saw the five o’clock news too. I just didn’t think the guy was dumb enough to jump again!”
I want to see t his movie!

Finished “The Last of Us” this morning. Great game.
Stupid Playstation only games.
Tonight we continue our journey to find the evil sorceress. I’m wearing my new shirt, given to me by my Secret Santa, for the adventure. If the dice rolls are against me I’m going to blame Jack.
I’m working this morning. Why? Not because I have to. Not because I need to catch up on anything. Just because I’m at my desk and I saw some work related papers on it from yesterday.
*shakes head* I really need to rethink my priorities.

Hubby is National Roast Suckling Pig Day. I admit, that is a little strange.

Our other daughter is National Hamburger Day.

Makes me nostalgic… for when I had that kind of time.
Hubby is away on a play date. There is a movie on the Space channel called Bigfoot. Guess what’s coming up!
Ack! Ack! Ack!
Danny partridge is in this movie.
He’s already acting like a bird brain
Pria forgot to call the press
Greg Brady is Danny Partridge’s nemesis. Are they crossing the streams?
And DJ Johnny Fever is the cop. He wants his deputies to rough up the tree huggers
Them’s fighting words
Holy crap. Who knew big foot was so… Evil?
This Bigfoot looks like King Kong’s cousin
Bigfoot seems to be a leg man
Oh no, the forest burnt down
Harvey Handerson is going to meet Bigfoot soon
The guy playing the fire chief is an amazing actor
Bigfoot thinks he should have stopped to get directions
What the hell is he flying?
Johnny Fever has issues
Peter Pan never harmed anybody, unless they deserved it.
Commercial time! Damn regular tv.
Today is the big day
I’m Simon Quinn. My fans will come
I don’t understand this girl cop’s subplot
Nobody wants Greg Brady to play an environmental song
Alice Cooper looks old
For an old man, Mike Brady has a lot of hot nubile fans
Bigfoot doesn’t like mic feedback
They gave Alice Cooper a cardboard snake because the couldn’t get him a real one
This woman has really got to go
Seriously, oh did something that big manage to hide in the bushes do North Dakota for so long?
Alice Cooper has a new job, as a football
Oops. Another commercial
I hope you are all discressed. The channel keeps telling me viewer discretion is advised
Strap on whatever you think is appropriate, we’re going Bigfoot hunting
Everyone’s a victim, even Bigfoot
If we respect Bigfoot, he’ll respect us
The nonprofit The Bigfoot Alliance was set up really fast
The Jane Goodall of Bigfoot?
Time to send in the stupid hunter
There’s whitewater down there
Soup’s on!
Row, row, row!
Bigfoot seems a real fan of kicking things
Boy, I bet he’s glad he didn’t get in the raft. Or not
Today’s double entendre commercial
Sometimes a foot-long is too much, but six inches isn’t enough. Introducing the nine inch… Sub, by Quiznos
Don’t count it, it’s enough
Seriously, why are all his followers young college age girls?
Bigfoot death mobile?
Elephant tranquilizers, that’ll work
Stay frosty
Time to reminisce. Yawn
That was a depressing story
I don’t see anything? Really. The frikken thing is taller than the trees
Bigfoot like to squish things with his big feet
Mount Rushmore
Stealing the trnaqs
Stop worrying
They found Bigfoot tracks
It’s so smooth
He collects dead people
It’s all in the field manual? There’s a manual for hunting Bigfoot?
The helicopters aren’t working
Dodging cars
Time for a drink
Your breath stinks. Good comeback
I slept with your mama
Back to the caves!
Form a human chain around the body
His little flyer is distracting Bigfoot
Everybody’s shooting but it’s no use
Time to regroup
Everybody is heading back to the cave
That bought that story?
They are such lousy shots, they keep missing the giant ass creature and heat each other instead
Now they’re telling people to evacuate?
Bigfoot is just too strong fot those puny helicopters
The monkey is climbing Mount Rushmore
A new euphemism. I played ball in the house
Aw, they have a connection
They need new stone utters for Mount Rushmore
udders?
And it’s over.
The movie was pretty much what I expected

On the Star Wars theme, my sister reminded me today of a little bit of childhood selfishness.
Star Wars was playing at the local flea pit (the now sadly gone Crown), the queues were vast and me and sister were in different places in the queue. I just managed to scrape in as they place was full, sister had to wait for the next performance (about three hours)…..
Was this your first screening?

Your crap joke for the day:
A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He grew increasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be heard.When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned for the next day and he would have to return the next day.”What for?” he snapped at the judge.His honor, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp query roared, “Twenty dollars contempt of court. That’s why!”Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge relented. “That’s all right. You don’t have to pay now.”The young man replied, “I’m just seeing if I have enough for two more words.”

“They are part of a group called Exploration who have travelled for 24 hours in a cramped army truck to get to this forest near St Petersburg. Conditions are basic – they camp in the woods – and some days they have to wade waist-deep through mud to find the bodies of the fallen. The work can be dangerous, too. Soldiers are regularly discovered with their grenades still in their backpacks and artillery shells can be seen sticking out of the trees. Diggers from other groups elsewhere in Russia have lost their lives.”

One the one hand: Good riddance to bad rubbish.
On the other hand: Lots of quality time spent roaming the aisles in those places.
When hubby was studying for his masters he worked part time at Roger’s Video, the Canadian version of Block Buster’s. They don’t exist any more either.
I can still recall the rush I felt when I walked into my very first video rental store. They even rented VHS players (and betamax machines!).
Oh, the possibilities!
The chance to watch the films YOU wanted to see with the people YOU chose to sit with in the comfort of your own place!!! It was such a bold new world.
Video rental stores were also a bold new world because actually buying VHSs at the time was priced way out of most people’s leagues.

Hubby is talking to a spider that was on the window. He says it’s a death sentence to take the spider outside. Especially since it’s a blizzard out there. I was ok with that. He is currently relocating it to the guest washroom. I told him, if we get guests, it will be his job to clean that washroom. He seems ok with that.

We watched it last night, but failed to post the link. (sorry)
By the time they’re done with this show, Bran is going to be old enough to play Grand Maester Pycelle.
We also watched the first Sherlock, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The story was ass, but the characters and actors made for a fun show.
Let’s see:
Historic, iconic, deeply-revered, eccentric super-genius title character with an everyman companion
Great performances and characterization outweigh wonky plot twists

Yup, fingers crossed for next year.
No, no! Stupid FB didn’t let me enter “TBD” in the date field. The purpose of that page is really to determine the best date for the MMMmmmeetup. I’m assuming now that it WON’T be that weekend, since we’d lose Amy and Van.
I just posted this to the Deadpan FB page:
The Deadpan committee has proposed that the annual MMMmmeetup take place in Colorado this year! Are you up for an Avalanche of Bronco Nuggets in the Rockies?
JOIN US. This is the place to discuss all things MMMmmmeetup, including your availability, likelihood of attending, the contents of your fridge, etc. JOIN US. As of this writing, it looks like the MMMmmmeetup will occur sometime in May or June. JOIN US. Let us know what works for you! JOIN US.
That should be a secure and locked-down discussion place…. The non-FBers among us can discuss workable dates here.
Wait, let me get this straight. You want us to “JOIN YOU” 😆

Your crap joke for the day:
A chicken farmer walked up to the ticket window at the theater and the ticket agent asked, “Sir, what’s that on your shoulder?”The old farmer said, “That’s my pet rooster Chuck. Wherever I go, Chuck goes.”..”I’m sorry sir,” said the ticket agent. “We can’t allow animals in the theater.”The old farmer went around the corner and stuffed the bird down his overalls then he returned to the booth, bought a ticket, and entered the theater.He sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge.The movie started and the rooster began to squirm. the old farmer unbuttoned his fly so Chuck could stick his head out and watch the movie.”Marge,” whispered Mildred…”What?” said Marge…”I think the guy next to me is a pervert.””What makes you think so?” asked Marge.”He undid his pants and he has his thing out,” whispered Mildred.”Well, don’t worry about it,” said Marge. “Hell, at our age, we’ve seen ’em all.”..”I thought so too,’ said Mildred, “but this one’s eatin’ my popcorn.”

Heh.
TEB needs a reboot.
Brilliant!
Awful!
Ed’s weekend suggested for the Denver Broncos mmmeetup is more likely to include awesome weather than anything earlier, if that kind of thing sways y’all.
We saw American Hustle last night and enjoyed it. It’s the first film I’ve loved Amy Adams in, and holy crap Christian Bale is great in that. As for the girl-on-girl make-out scene, that was NOT a make-out scene!
NO it wasnt. I found that that film has MUCH more hype than deserved, but still enjoyable
Agreed and agreed about American Hustle, EssBee. Definitely good and well-acted (Bradley Cooper! Who knew?), but not Best Picture.
The kiss also didn’t make much sense. I suspect it was in there to stir-up word-of-mouth and lure people in. Pun ignored.
“mouth”
So this is bad. It was inevitable, but it’s just bad.

Not surprising, really. 🙁
Ugh.
Wow that is grim.
There is some hope – the judge did think the FCC was trying to do the right thing, but that the way internet providers are currently classified, the FCC doesn’t have the authority to regulate them as common carriers.
The law, as usual, in an ass.
Is that an Avs/Devs game just on the horizon?

Its very easy! Actually one of the easier sports to enjoy as there’s near constant action. Its the speed of basketball mixed with the hitting of football! Come on over and see me sometime…
I miss the glowing puck.
You take that back and you take it back now!!!

We might be buying a new couch in the next few days. There is nothing wrong with ours but hubby wants to get a reclining couch. When I saw my therapist yesterday hubby asked me to ask her if we should get a new couch. The silly therapist agreed with hubby and said a recliner would be better for me than our current couch. I’m not sure how that happened. :ermm:
She also told me I shouldn’t be playing racquetball.
Doctor’s can sure spoil your fun sometimes.
FWIW, Bunny, I think you should be playing racquetball.
Can you be my doctor, Jack?
Technically I’m not suppose to do anything high impact, which is why I had to quit marshal arts. Hubby and I started playing racquetball without me asking my doctor first. I mentioned it in passing on Friday and she reminded me of that.
*sigh*
Yes I’ve never forgiven your therapist for that’s:-p

I think I’m done with Arkham Origins. I cannot, for the life of me, control that effing remote batarang. I’m at a point in the game where I cannot progress without it. I’ve spent a couple of days now fighting with it.
Too bad, I was enjoying the game up to that point.
I’m in a pissy mood now because I won’t be able to continue playing.
*sigh*. I guess tomorrow I start on something else
This is one of my common complaints with these games.
They should be about the choices you make, the targets you pick, weapons/tools you choose and not how well you can work the games hardware interface.
I’m visiting the pensioners this weekend and they have fully embraced the “lower the thermostat” thing.
I am wearing under armor beneath my jeans and turtle neck sweater AND wearing a jacket and still I have been so cold I have been trying to figure out how to excuse myself to the car for about 20 minutes so I can get warm.
Last night I slept in the long underwear and a wool ski cap.

Off to see the Scottish Games in Winter Springs, FL today. If luck serves me well there will be haggis that I can try.
Or if you’re even luckier … they won’t make you.
Maybe Van can get you some haggis on his connecting trip through Edinburgh.
Got my haggis. Tastes kind of like corned beef hash.
That doesn’t sound like any haggis I’ve had. 😀
ditto took the words right out of my mouth.
I didn’t really expect the truck at a local event to have the good stuff. Their shepherd’s pie also blew chunks and they were serving “Scottish BBQ” which seems a bit of an oxymoron. I did get some Marmite from one of the British food vendors. That tasted like spreading a beef bouillon cube on a piece of toast but wasn’t as bad as the stories I’ve heard.
And here it is

I’m not actually done with this series but I’m putting it on the backburner, to watch if there is nothing better to watch.
It’s really that dumb.
Well, we went on a successful hunt for new furniture. But we did learn something. We were wondering around the store looking at couches. Then we’d go onto the store’s website to see what the reviews were for that piece of furniture. We ended up saving $200 because, on the store’s website, the items we were looking at was less than on their floor. I think I’m going to compare a company’s website vs. floor prices from now on when shopping for big ticket items.
However, we did not get a reclining couch. We ended up getting a pair of reclining chairs instead. Sort of equals the same thing when all is said and done.

So my nephew was the featured interview-ee in a story that Time Magazine just did on “Crossfit”. I read the article and was shocked because it didn’t reflect anything I had experienced in the 9 months I’ve been participating. Time painted it as some sort of dark, crazed, dangerous thing.
I was talking with my father about the article and according to him, when my nephew saw the article he contacted the writer and ask why he wrote things that were 180 degrees the opposite of what my nephew had told him … the writer said “It makes a better story that way.” :blink:
I guess I had really been fooling myself to think that Faux News had cornered the market on that brand of “Fact-ish Outrage-tainment”.

(I included the second-closest book because of how apropos it was for this meme. First person to identify it gets Internet cookies. Feel free to Google, since it’s not a very well-known quotation.)
Those are both fantastic, Amy. I recognized the writer of the second one, but needed Google to identify the actual work.

D&D also just turned 40.
Watching the news because I’m waiting in an airport and have little choice. A commentator just looked at the results of a poll in which 67% of those polled said… whatever. The commentator says “almost three quarters of people polled said…”. This is why I hate the media. Slap almost in front of something and math no longer applies. 2/3 becomes almost 3/4. $#@!#$#@@!@###@!#$$^&&%%$$
Then there is always the poll in which they have 3 choices, choice 1 gets 40% and choices 2 & 3 both get 30% … and a talking head announces “Recent poll shows the majority of the public wants “A”. This in spite of the math showing that the majority chose otherwise.
Another thing that seems to be in maddeningly in vogue is the response, “Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion.” when you point out that their math(or really any other recorded fact) is not actually correct.
On the other hand,

“Last year, Paramount’s Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters topped out at a disappointing $55.7 million domestically, but earned $170 million internationally for a global total of $225.7 million, enough to pursue a sequel. ”
Confession – I rather enjoyed the movie. I’m curious to see if they can really get the actors back for a sequel.
Ed I heartily second that. Really enjoyed it. Delish mix of ridiculous steampunk fairy tale and corset loving monster fighters. Plus, I think a sequel would be better now that there’s a team. If you know what I mean.
Add me to the pleasure of Hansel & Gretel.
Count me in. It was pure fun. 😀
OK, I guess we need to watch this.

Any Deadwood advocates out there?
We’ve made two attempts to watch S1E1, but the DVD was damaged, so we missed scenes, missed story, and were completely thrown.
Is it worth it to find some other means?
Yes, totally worth it. Jack, we have the DVDs and would be happy to loan em to you guys when we see you.
Okay, beer guys. I already shared this with Alvie, but ditto & justa and others might have input on this. I bottled my high gravity amber ale Monday, and according to my hydrometer readings, it’s 18% ABV. It was intentionally high gravity yeast, and was VERY ACTIVE on fermentation. Even so, is this even possible?
It’s ready to drink Superbowl Sunday!
Oh man… I say you call it Hurry Hurry Amber
love it! i was thinking “on your ass amber”
Very possible. Have tasted it?
Call it slAmber?
tasted it – it was good!
slAmber!!!
Is it super potent?
I’d say call it “18 and Life Amber”, but. . . no, please don’t.
EssBee has issued an “Amber Alert”
Each bottle should come with a space to put your picture on it before opening.
This will make finding you a bit easier when we have to bring in the search teams later on in the evening.
Because YES 18% is quite achievable.
“Amber Alert” hit my creep-alert!
I just cannot believe I made a 18% beer! I guess when I knock myself out and miss the Super Bowl, I’ll believe it!
Sorry about the going too far thing … it’s one of my super powers.:angel:
So I find that making “uber” beers was fun at first but then it was sort of … well, when you make 5 gallons of beer that … well … you drink a 20 oz bottle of it and your day/evening has pretty much come to a halt …
… it’s novel but sometimes you just want to have a beer and not get blasted.
Still, keep them in a cool dark place for special occasions. They won’t spoil! 🙂
