00:00 - 00:03 | At 7:30 p.m. we will leave the TAM 2012 reception |
00:04 - 00:05 | Take a cab to Paris to see the Jersey Boys |
00:05 - 00:07 | Call it an early night then back to the South Point |
00:08 - 00:12 | Have a few drinks in the Del Mar . . . |
00:12 - 00:15 | Then straight to bed. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Goebbels will get up early to save good seats |
00:19 - 00:21 | For Phil Plait's keynote |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer . . . |
00:27 - 00:28 | Phil Plait . . . |
00:31 - 00:33 | The JREF invited Phil, but he declined |
00:34 - 00:39 | Phil Plait is not coming to TAM this year. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Those who did not register for the TAM Experience please leave the room now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Not coming to TAM? |
01:15 - 01:17 | What the hell is Plait doing that he is so fucking busy? |
01:18 - 01:23 | What will the JREF do for a keynote? |
01:25 - 01:28 | Richard Dawkins reading from a book, again? |
01:29 - 01:31 | Or Tyson giving the same speech, again? |
01:31 - 01:34 | Maybe wheel out the corpse of Christopher Hitchens . . . |
01:34 - 01:37 | to lend intellectual gravitas to the occasion! |
01:37 - 01:40 | Why not just give the keynote to Dr. Buzz0! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we will have Pamela Gay to talk about astronomy! |
01:42 - 01:46 | Fuck Pamela Gay! Nobody holds a fucking candle to the Bad Astronomer! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, TAM will feature a special presentation by Penn and Teller. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Penn and Fucking Teller? Are you fucking with me? |
01:53 - 01:54 | Fucking magicians? |
01:56 - 01:57 | Those motherfuckers will phone it in. |
01:57 - 02:00 | With another goddamned Q and A . . . |
02:00 - 02:03 | where Penn spouts off more libertarian nonsense. |
02:04 - 02:08 | To Hell with Penn and Teller. Is Chuck Norris available? |
02:08 - 02:13 | Was DJ drunk when he organized this fiasco? |
02:14 - 02:17 | It's as incoherent as a Shermer powerpoint! |
02:17 - 02:21 | This is even worse than that TED conference with Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | And that was fucking horrible. |
02:30 - 02:34 | And while we're on the subject of horrible, |
02:34 - 02:38 | what about that SGU dinner? |
02:41 - 02:42 | The SGU fucking dinner. |
02:43 - 02:47 | I've had more intelligent conversations talking to six year olds . . . |
02:48 - 02:53 | while waiting line at the buffet at Circus Circus! |
02:54 - 02:56 | Even Brian Dunning is more interesting. |
02:56 - 02:59 | And that says a lot. |
03:00 - 03:02 | TAM 2012 is a fucking disaster. |
03:04 - 03:10 | At least we don't have to suffer through a diversity panel with PZ Myers. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Maybe Jay Novella can freeze his head . . . |
03:19 - 03:23 | and come back to life when they have a better TAM |
03:25 - 03:28 | maybe in 20 or 30 years. |
03:31 - 03:33 | For the love of God . . . |
03:40 - 03:46 | I hope we don't see another all-star salute sung by George Hrab as an opener. |
03:46 - 03:41 | I guess we will be hanging out a lot at the Del Mar . . . |
03:53 - 04:00 | At least the reliable Adam Savage will be there. He wouldn't fuck us over again. |
