Well, whatever he won, he was naked when he did. :)BP wins!
I don't know what, but he must win something.
Yup, Nekkid after work and in the morning too. :)
Looks at cupcake...feels blood sugar spike
~faints~
It's a sugar-free cupcake.
Our holiday has begun - I am now in the vast sun bathed state of Queensland - Queensland refuses to have daylight savings like the rest of the country....
Queensland is probably like the south in the US, lovely people, who slightly parochial - beautiful place full of theme parks and natural wonders.
So of to Sea World tomorrow.... The girls are very excited to see the sharks an dolphins.
My non gaming stuff - How Stuff Works, Stuff you missed in History Class, The Nerdist, Astronomy Cast, Star Stuff, The History of Rome, A History of WWII, The Pritzker Military Library, Monster Talk, Skeptoid and the Skeptics guide to the Universe.
Gaming - Chronicles, Know Direction, FTB, D&F and the new Gamers Guide to Pathfinder.
Wow! This is extremely similar to my own list (though Gamers' Guide is more there to test that the feed is working since it is my podcast), though there are a couple I have to check out.
I am just about caught up with the total of what is there for the History of Rome, so I am excited to check out A History of WWII. For another history podcast I didn't see on your list, I highly recommend Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and maybe Today in History.
Your science/skeptic stuff would lead me to recommend: Evolution 101, Logical Fallacies, Logically Critical (has ended, but is still good stuff), PediaCast (if you have kids it is great, otherwise...), QuackCast (fantastic skeptical podcast focused on medical supplements, complementary and alternative medicine... or SCAM), Science... Sort of, and Vital Signs. You might also check out Scientific American's 60 Second Science and 60 second Psych.
For gaming you may like: Flagons & Dragons and The Podge Cast (from former Fear the Booters, so similar feel)
Anyway... I really appreciate there even being a few new ones on a list that already has so many I like... means I am pretty likely to like them as well.

It's amazing when you live so far away from people how similar they are.
Dan Carlin fell of my radar for some reason. His pod casts sends chills down my spine. I have to re subscribe. A history of world war II has changed its name to the history o f world war II (to make things confusing there is an English podcast with a very similar name) the is also a history of Russian rulers and I think it's called the British history podcast both very good.
I am a big fan of Astronmy Cast, Star Talk, Star stuff. I was listening to your podcast this morning. You guys sound like you are having fun doing it and you have interesting subjects. I always look forward to downloading it.
Some of the old time radio podcasts have thrillers and scifi radio serials from the 1940's-50's. They aren't to bad.....

Watched Conan last night. I thought Jason Momoa was excellent in the role. I also like the beginning sequences in the Cimmerian village. The action sequences and fights were pretty good.
However, I did not think much of the overarching story itself.
I did like the little nod they gave to Tower of the Elephant. That was cool.
Here's hoping that, if a sequel gets made, they get someone to actually adapt some of the Conan stories - Red Nails, anyone?

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!

Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"
The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"
The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts
There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy
Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights
They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped
Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

I wonder if my co-workers would object if I made a new rule that everyone has to walk around like zombies.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes
To see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

an evil look in his eye,
"F!%+ off and die, you bastards!"
And called in the Wal-mart ninja invasion, destroying Santa's workshop, killing all those that made fun of him and installing himself as CEO of Christmas, Incorporated which he ruled with an iron fist until he died at age 50 while in bed with four women and a five kilos of blow.
FIFY
Asking for prayers and/or positive thoughts for my mother, who is in the hospital for some testing. Thanks.

Done. And I hope they are able to easily find the cause.

Thanks. I'm not posting on FB, as I don't want distant relatives worrying in case it's minor. People have so much on their plates these days.
You feeling any better?

Yeah. I seem to be through the evil horrible cold. And now my family has it, and they're way sicker than I was. I've actually been getting a lot less colds and crap since I stopped my asthma medication. My doctor is gonna be so pissed with me. :)
I am currently reading my notes to study for my math final....I'm not sure why. I could literally write my name on top of the paper, hand it in, and still get an A in the class. :)
(It's the other class I'm still waiting to find out my grade in that's making me nervous.)
Ugh on the family colds.
Yay on math!
Positive thoughts on the pending grade. :)
I'll attempt to keep my eyes open for another five minutes. That is all.

UPDATE: They're doing a colonoscopy and upper GI on my mom tomorrow, so the bleed looks internal. The good news is that the bleed is small, and her hemoglobin level is on par with her last doc appt. (slightly anemic)
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.

Unfortunately I don't think a sequel will get made becasue it did not do well enough. I have to say I was so so on it and I went and saw it in the theaters because I was excited to see it. I thought the last part of the movie was a little boring. I wanted more sword fights less falling rocks and running around.
I did not particuarly think the writing was that great I thought parts of what Momoa did were good ...but others I think based more on the writing of his character were less Conan like.But that is this humble man's opinion take it for what it is worth.
Woot! Done with exams....Christmas break can officially start now. :)
