I love my hubby dearly but right now he’s on a go in to work whenever schedule and it’s really messing with my normal routines.
FYI for the DP community.
I just re-upped the hosting account for 3 more years, so even if Deadpan ends, you’ll be able to keep coming around here until at least July of 2016… Unless Jack takes his toys and goes home (and deletes the site) when it ends. 😉
Yah! And thanks.
Sir! Thanks and salutations.

After all, I plan to stick around the Deadpan even after the audio version ends.
This. 🙂

I just burst into tears. Thanks, Mast!

Knowing nothing of the source material, I can only say that the title went from an awkward translation to something sounding like a dull, generic daytime soap opera.
Emily Blunt is highly watchable, but my Tom Cruise tolerance is as low these days as it was for the “Days of Thunder”/”Cocktail” era.
The most outrageous thing I’ve found while researching this is that Emily Blunt is married to John Krasinski.
“researching”
To put it Bluntly…
Gawd. What is with FB and Google always dicking around with their interfaces. Sigh.
Aint it grand?
I agree. I tried to do a Google Hangout this past weekend and they changed the recording process so I couldn’t figure out how to get it to link to YouTube… unlike the last three hangouts I did.
Jack liked my DotF choice. He wondered if I could get a “team mush” for this little guy so I’m posting the arguments I sent to Jack for all of you to debate.
I would like to put in my argument to add Mush to the Duel of the Fates
This little character makes regular appearances on Deadpan both in the comments and the podcast itself.
This guy sits unassuming on an end table. But really, there is more to it than meets the eye.
Better Look:
Ok, so maybe mush doesn’t look so great but it’s the images this brings to mind. Whenever you hear “Goodnight mush” you automatically think of a peaceful room, maybe a warm bed. What looks better in your mind than that?
Love Prowess:
What exactly is this mush of? If people can screw an apple pie, why not mush? Maybe the mush is a result of said screwing of apple pie. What can be more sexual than that?
Winning in a fight:
a) When you are beaten, your face often looks like mush.
b) Seriously, do you want to be attacked by mush? Yuck.
I rest my case.
And this is great stuff. We can take the debates here and to FB for lots of meta, but ultimately, we’ll use recordings and soudbytes to pit all of the final combatants head-to-head in the Final DotF episode(s).
For more explanation, listen to this Unshow. I suppose I should also write something up. I will.
I’m simply throwing out some DotF character ideas without much thought.

Question for the Canadian deadpanites. We have a friend that we want to pick on because he’s bald and we decided that Mr. Clean is the iconic bald guy. The guy in question is Canadian so if there is a better iconic bald guy in Canada it would be fantastic. I assume, however, that the answer will still be Mr. Clean.
You aren’t allowed to pick on Canadians. 😉
Or if you do, ask him if he knows Sue from Waterton, or some other town. 🙂
And yes, we do have Mr. Clean in Canada.
I figured, but it would have been great if we could have used a reference that he wouldn’t think we would know.
And trust me, he has bought and paid for being picked on repeatedly. He dishes it out all the time. Quite uncanadian of him really.
I’m sorry. What? 😉
Mr. Clean exists in Canada. He should know what you’re talking about.
Well I’m glad I haven’t met Usedhair.
Too bald….
Me n you both, buddy.
In answer to your original question UH, I don’t think we have any iconic bald people in Canada. Just normal bald people.
Actually, let me rephrase that, we have plenty of bald celebrities (Howie Mandel, Michael Ironside, etc) but they are not exactly unknowns outside of Canada. Most people know who they are.
Call him Mark Messier.
Is he the Frost Messier ?
Messier might be a good one. He definitely wouldn’t be expecting it from the other guy at work who is a notorious dunce with anything non US-centric.
Apparently it’s no longer politically correct to direct a joke at any racial or ethnic minority, so try this one:
An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman, a Ghurkha, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a German, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Russian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Swiss, a Greek, a Singaporean, an Italian, a Norwegian, a Libyan, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist and an African went to a night club.
The bouncer at the door said, “Sorry, I can’t let you in without a Thai. “
godDAMMIT this one made me laugh. No coat for you today
I heard the new Stone Temple Pilots song with Chester Bennington as the lead singer. I thought it was pretty good. This might be a good direction for them.
Chester from Linkin Park Chester???
Yes. That’s him.
Ahhhhhh Chester
****swoon****
Hmmm. Not bad. I’ll need to hear more.
That’s what I thought. I didn’t like the last STP album. This sounds a lot better.
Chester does a pretty good Weiland impression on that tune; I think he’ll handle their classics well. Strange that he’d leave a band that is still kinda “relevant” for a band that’s decade is long gone.
(Careful with your responses; there may be Linkin Park fan club members about)
I call myself an avid fan of Linkin Park and their sound. I was shocked when I first heard the news about Chester joining STP. I hope its a side project like Fort Minor was for Mike Shinoda. I dont think LP’s sound can be replicated well.
I do see LP and (Joe Hahn) continuing with their dabbling in motion picture movie scores…
LP Underground 4E
I didn’t like the last Linkin Park album.
Honestly I havent heard anything by them since Hybrid Theory. Not on purpose, just havent.
I can hook you up…
& Ditto — Liv
Try again…
Ditto- I think Living Things was well-made but a different brand of LP. It is a progression from Minutes to Midnight (which is somber) to A Thousand Suns (which is mature yet angry and beautifully made)
I think the band had too many other projects going when they made their last album, imo
Last night I was going to a play by play of Xwing, but it turned out that I wasn’t as versed on the rules as I would have liked to have been to have a compelling narrative. Instead I’ll give a brief summery. The base game comes with one xwing and two tie fighters. You have your choice of pilots for each craft that offer unique abilities and cost factors. As an introduction to the game I choose Luke Skywalker to pilot the xwing and tie fighter pilots Mauler Mithel and Night Beast. Early in the game Luke made a wrong turn and Night Beast blew up his shields. Luke in turn scored a good hit on Mauler. Night Beast ended his last few turn away from the main dog fight. In the end though Mauler Mithel scored a devastating hit on Luke including a critical hit that blew Luke up. The Force wasn’t with him that day. There is more to the game than simple fights to the death and moving forward I think it will have long term appeal for me and my family. Two thumbs up.
Cool. Give us a call if you ever need blaster fodder.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Now … which Friday beverage should I court?
okay … so I know I should have struck up some sophisticated conversation with a tall glass of red wine… or discussed movies with a martini, current events with a glass of scotch or even just hung out with a beer … but no. It was tequilla.
What could I do? She came on so strong, told me everything I wanted to hear, said she wanted the same things I did … and, well, I’m a sucker for the accent.
I know how this ends though … and it’s never good.

This is the first time my phone has ever been within range of a 4G signal. I’m on the 101 going through the San Fernando Valley. The Deadpan page loaded as fast as it does on my cable modem at home, possibly faster. Holy crow! 0_0
Yes! High-speed Deadpan.
Careful, 4G can be addictive.
:happy: I won’t be developing an addiction for a very, very long time, at the rate they’re activating 4G over in Omaha. :/
Today on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, we’re going to track the elusive 4G. My assistant Jim will stalk a cell phone tower, wrestle it to the ground and then sedate it. At that point, I will install a new tracking device so we can monitor this rare creature and encourage it’s procreation in it’s natural environment.
4G is vigorous and unrelenting.

RED 2 – went an saw it this afternoon. If you liked the first one, you’ll enjoy this – as we did. If the first one didn’t do it for ya, then you probably aren’t going to become a convert with this one.
But, Helen Mirren is even more of a badass in this one than the first. Though, I think my daughter’s going to grow up to become a professional sniper now, based on her inspiration. Well, at least it looks to pay pretty well…
there is one certain podcaster who has yet to see the first RED. I hope to remedy that sooner rather than later.
Well then, I guess I will admit that I had never heard of RED.
I’ve seen the French trilogy, Blue, White, and Red, by Krystof Koslwezkchghfzjx25czski. That Red was excellent.
Eh, I havent seen it either

We saw the new Evil Dead on the weekend. It was a good B Horror. A few nods to the original but not a lot like it. Hubby and I had to have a discussion afterwards though as some parts weren’t clear at the beginning and the show didn’t make sense to him until we talked it out.
Ok, I need to have a shower.
Went back into my unplayed list and started Just Cause 2 over the weekend. That grappling hook is way too much fun.
Forgive if there’s been a conversation already, but thought on Batman being in the next Superman film? I give it a hearty MEH but I suppose it all depends how he’s used.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I think I’ve mentioned before that The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel has been done as a 2-disc series on Netflix? Part 1 was ok… I’m hoping part 2 will closer to the monumental feel of the book. THAT is the Batman-Superman screen pairing I want to see.
I’ll reserve judgment on whatever it is we’re going to get, until I see it. For now, I second the MEH.
Hopefully I wont alienate the Deadpannites here by saying this, but….

The Royal Baby is coming and I think it is fun to keep up with the Royals, as I have done since Princess Di’s wedding, through the birth of William and Harry, Andrew and Fergie’s wedding, to the birth of Eugenie and Beatrice, through Diana’s scandals, the divorce, her death and watching the boys grow up. Continuing this trend is just part of my life and I hope for a safe delivery and a happy and healthy new family. 🙂

So most of you know my running saga of my employment. The economic downturn hasn’t been especially kind to architects. But after five years of working in a job that pays less than the job I had in 1996, a new offer was extended me from a different architecture firm. I get back my pre-recession pay, and vacation hours and 401k and benefits. Plus, there is plenty of upward mobility. And and and the firm is run by real people, not skesis. WooHoo!
Now I just have to let my current firm know I’m leaving. I should probably wear a helmet.
WTG, Rhettro!!!!!
That is amazingly awesome news for you and your family and for the world!!
Thanks Pixie! I honestly started to think such new opportunities still existed in Phoenix.

Your crap joke for the day:
Apparently it’s no longer politically correct to direct a joke at any racial or ethnic minority, so try this one:
An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman, a Ghurkha, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a German, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Russian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Swiss, a Greek, a Singaporean, an Italian, a Norwegian, a Libyan, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist and an African went to a night club.
The bouncer at the door said, “Sorry, I can’t let you in without a Thai. “
godDAMMIT this one made me laugh. No coat for you today
Facebook needs to incorporate this immediately.

I heard the new Stone Temple Pilots song with Chester Bennington as the lead singer. I thought it was pretty good. This might be a good direction for them.
Chester from Linkin Park Chester???
Yes. That’s him.
Ahhhhhh Chester
****swoon****
Hmmm. Not bad. I’ll need to hear more.
That’s what I thought. I didn’t like the last STP album. This sounds a lot better.
Chester does a pretty good Weiland impression on that tune; I think he’ll handle their classics well. Strange that he’d leave a band that is still kinda “relevant” for a band that’s decade is long gone.
(Careful with your responses; there may be Linkin Park fan club members about)
I call myself an avid fan of Linkin Park and their sound. I was shocked when I first heard the news about Chester joining STP. I hope its a side project like Fort Minor was for Mike Shinoda. I dont think LP’s sound can be replicated well.
I do see LP and (Joe Hahn) continuing with their dabbling in motion picture movie scores…
LP Underground 4E
I didn’t like the last Linkin Park album.
Honestly I havent heard anything by them since Hybrid Theory. Not on purpose, just havent.
I can hook you up…
& Ditto — Liv
Try again…
Ditto- I think Living Things was well-made but a different brand of LP. It is a progression from Minutes to Midnight (which is somber) to A Thousand Suns (which is mature yet angry and beautifully made)
I think the band had too many other projects going when they made their last album, imo

Last night I was going to a play by play of Xwing, but it turned out that I wasn’t as versed on the rules as I would have liked to have been to have a compelling narrative. Instead I’ll give a brief summery. The base game comes with one xwing and two tie fighters. You have your choice of pilots for each craft that offer unique abilities and cost factors. As an introduction to the game I choose Luke Skywalker to pilot the xwing and tie fighter pilots Mauler Mithel and Night Beast. Early in the game Luke made a wrong turn and Night Beast blew up his shields. Luke in turn scored a good hit on Mauler. Night Beast ended his last few turn away from the main dog fight. In the end though Mauler Mithel scored a devastating hit on Luke including a critical hit that blew Luke up. The Force wasn’t with him that day. There is more to the game than simple fights to the death and moving forward I think it will have long term appeal for me and my family. Two thumbs up.
Cool. Give us a call if you ever need blaster fodder.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Hubby and I just went for a walk. It sure is getting warm out already this morning.
So if I wanted Jeff Loomis to right a custom song called “Deadpan Jack” it would cost me $1500. Hmmmm….
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/conquering-dystopia
He’d probably give a discount for “Vigorously and Without Mercy.” Hell, that could be one of his song titles already.
^Winning
So how do we set up one of these crowd sourcing things set up to raise $1500 to get Jeff to do Jack?
You want Jeff to do Jack? Can I watch? :devil:
Sure! You just have to come up with $1500. :metal:
Might be worth it. Can I get video rights with that?
Nevermore.

Im going to give this movie another shot to impress me.
I thought it was impressive enough the first time. Good film.
I dug it, mainly for the Diesel Punk vibe.
What is diesel punk?
A step later than Steam Punk
Or its Vin’s new band. Either one

I dug it for the WW2 German tech and the scene with the car keys.
You dug iy for two reasons and they were both on Hayley Atwell.
Thanks for the insight. 🙂
I did enjoy the diesel punk, too.
Have I ever made my feelings known about the recent Captain America film?
in private. to me.
Oh? Did he have a shield?

Now … which Friday beverage should I court?
okay … so I know I should have struck up some sophisticated conversation with a tall glass of red wine… or discussed movies with a martini, current events with a glass of scotch or even just hung out with a beer … but no. It was tequilla.
What could I do? She came on so strong, told me everything I wanted to hear, said she wanted the same things I did … and, well, I’m a sucker for the accent.
I know how this ends though … and it’s never good.
Someone forgets to tell me about “the boyfriend” I wake up in an ally behind a dumpster.
What? Another one? Well sure darlin, let’s do this!
I think Poltergeist II put me off tequila for life.

This is the first time my phone has ever been within range of a 4G signal. I’m on the 101 going through the San Fernando Valley. The Deadpan page loaded as fast as it does on my cable modem at home, possibly faster. Holy crow! 0_0
Yes! High-speed Deadpan.
Careful, 4G can be addictive.
:happy: I won’t be developing an addiction for a very, very long time, at the rate they’re activating 4G over in Omaha. :/
Today on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, we’re going to track the elusive 4G. My assistant Jim will stalk a cell phone tower, wrestle it to the ground and then sedate it. At that point, I will install a new tracking device so we can monitor this rare creature and encourage it’s procreation in it’s natural environment.
4G is vigorous and unrelenting.
And without mercy?
That’s IT!!!!
Saw Martha Wainwright at The Sage tonight, the support act took experimentation to the point of boredom but MW was good even if she did sound half pissed at times.
I do hope she played “Bloody Motherfucking Asshole.”
That’s her ballad?
That was indeed performed
RED 2 – went an saw it this afternoon. If you liked the first one, you’ll enjoy this – as we did. If the first one didn’t do it for ya, then you probably aren’t going to become a convert with this one.
But, Helen Mirren is even more of a badass in this one than the first. Though, I think my daughter’s going to grow up to become a professional sniper now, based on her inspiration. Well, at least it looks to pay pretty well…
there is one certain podcaster who has yet to see the first RED. I hope to remedy that sooner rather than later.
Well then, I guess I will admit that I had never heard of RED.
I’ve seen the French trilogy, Blue, White, and Red, by Krystof Koslwezkchghfzjx25czski. That Red was excellent.
Eh, I havent seen it either
Och! You people! I do not know you!

We saw the new Evil Dead on the weekend. It was a good B Horror. A few nods to the original but not a lot like it. Hubby and I had to have a discussion afterwards though as some parts weren’t clear at the beginning and the show didn’t make sense to him until we talked it out.
Ok, I need to have a shower.
Went back into my unplayed list and started Just Cause 2 over the weekend. That grappling hook is way too much fun.

Forgive if there’s been a conversation already, but thought on Batman being in the next Superman film? I give it a hearty MEH but I suppose it all depends how he’s used.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I think I’ve mentioned before that The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel has been done as a 2-disc series on Netflix? Part 1 was ok… I’m hoping part 2 will closer to the monumental feel of the book. THAT is the Batman-Superman screen pairing I want to see.
I’ll reserve judgment on whatever it is we’re going to get, until I see it. For now, I second the MEH.

The Royal Baby is coming and I think it is fun to keep up with the Royals, as I have done since Princess Di’s wedding, through the birth of William and Harry, Andrew and Fergie’s wedding, to the birth of Eugenie and Beatrice, through Diana’s scandals, the divorce, her death and watching the boys grow up. Continuing this trend is just part of my life and I hope for a safe delivery and a happy and healthy new family. 🙂

Health Alert from your favorite Deadpan RN:
Sudden shortness of breath or sudden pain in your calf = a direct trip to your nearest ER!
I can finally spill the beans on my lap. 🙂
So most of you know my running saga of my employment. The economic downturn hasn’t been especially kind to architects. But after five years of working in a job that pays less than the job I had in 1996, a new offer was extended me from a different architecture firm. I get back my pre-recession pay, and vacation hours and 401k and benefits. Plus, there is plenty of upward mobility. And and and the firm is run by real people, not skesis. WooHoo!
Now I just have to let my current firm know I’m leaving. I should probably wear a helmet.
WTG, Rhettro!!!!!
That is amazingly awesome news for you and your family and for the world!!
Thanks Pixie! I honestly started to think such new opportunities still existed in Phoenix.
YES!!! yesyesyesyesyesyesYES!!!
