Muthafucka!
I’ve got a shiny new (borrowed) MP3 player that I can plug into my car, and I’m looking forward to listening to this episode! :happy:
no fair sneaking it in early. How is van going to get the first comment this way?
In before the Van.
Sloppy sevenths are the way to go.
Gugh. The Phoenix Lights was one of the most boring things I’ve ever watched. . . . It’s like your crazy, rich aunt made a movie with some inheritance windfall. Yeesh. I shoulda watched the crappy skating romcom.
Back to the grind, grrrrrr!
Finished watching the Millennium Trilogy. I’d like to see what the author comes out with next.
“The Girl Who Kicked Nomad Scry’s Shin” by Stieg Larsson.

Now you just talking dirty.
Someday I’m going to catch up.
If anyone sees me online tonight, just yell at me to record my earbuddies. I can do it… I can.
I think I can.

Jack Mangans Deadpan #240: Sounds Like Phoenix in May
I did my part and watch the Dukes of Hazzard “movie” yesterday. My I.Q. has been docked at least 20 points from the experience. Play by Play from memory to follow.
Teresa says that they should have cast better looking actors for the Dukes. “These guys are butt ugly.”
Stipler is Bo.
Jersey Girl ordered from Netflix..
That dude that played the private eye on House is Enos.
Moonshine run, I should have drank some prior to viewing.
This week’s Game of Thrones episode was truly fantastic. Been waiting for that one for a while!
Indeed, as someone who hasn’t read the books I’m keeping my fingers crossed a certain character hit by an axe survives.
🙂
I think we just figured out the S2 cliffhanger!
Alas comments to io9 give it away he survives.
Michael Ironsides is Rosco, okay he isn’t but might as well be.
Side note: Didn’t King’s X have an album called “Amy Goes to Nebraska”?
Willie Nelson is Uncle Jesse. I think someone told Willie that if he just showed up on set he could drink all the beer he wanted.
Burt Reynolds is Boss Hogg. The bandit is now the smokey. The circle is complete.
Wonder Woman is Jesse’s girlfriend. Not sure why.
I have just recorded my Earbuds audio.
I choose to think of this as being early for the NEXT round of earbuds as opposed to being criminally late for the last one.
We believe you Joe, even if thousands wouldn’t.
Shawn from Psyche is Billy Prickett, the sticky wicket. His character is basically Shawn with a big mustache.
And… I’ll spare you the rest. Stupid Red Wings.
I’m up and excited about the stuff I get to do today.
Rhettro, DoH was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I think I’ll skip the movie!
Diablo 3 did an update this morning, now it no longer works 🙁
Just read the forums. Apparently D3 is down for maintenance from 3am to 11am PST. since it’s only 9:30pst I wonder if that’s what the problem really is.
8 hour maintenance time? Really?
Blizzard does maintenance every Tuesday morning.
But… as I’m not playing D3 – I don’t know if that counts for anything.
Hmmm… not sure about saying the line numbers before each of the 60 lines.
the lines were getting mixed up as they were being handed out. Since none of us knew what the next line was, it was the easiest way to make sure they stayed in order.
I see. Thats too bad.
Personally, I would have just deleted the numbers from the audio track. I was hoping that that was the plan. Guess there wasn’t enough production time for that. Oh, well.
Well yes, that would have been much less distracting, but probably time consuming.
*leers around for Mangan*
I actually (honestly) preferred the readings with the numbers. It sounded more natural. Who knows, maybe we’ll do a Special Edition someday and cut them. . . This is Star Wars, after all. . .
Its too bad you’re wrong 😉
Hockey prediction: Kings in 7.
JAAAAACK LOOOOK WHAT HEEEE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tho I can see that very likely happening.
I’m going Devils in 6.
Devil’s in the details.
Who wants to create me an avatar?
*laughs*
But, but, the blank space allows our imaginations to run riot.
ME!!!
… but I better finish my earbuds segment first or Jack will/won’t spank me.
My prediction, Kings in 6, but I hope I’m wrong.
*points accusingly*
Okay, by the weekend I will write and record my Earbuddies intro to my partners song, and my response to theirs.
I think I may have a bad motivator.
You mean when youre not too busy writing trivia questions for a certain trivia podcast hmmmmmm????????
Surely 2 categories and 1 stray robot question for ATW9K does not count as a full distraction…?
LOL! 😆 My motivator seems to be on the fritz today, too. :/
Te weather man said it’s currently raining. He’s lying. It’s beautiful and sunny at my end of the city

Devils in 7. Kings wont go easily but maybe Brodeur can show that whipper-snapper Jonathan Quick, a thing or two about how to win a Cup.
OK fellow DCI fans! The season is nearly upon us… I am curious to know if any of you own any past Finals DVDs or any specific Corps DVDs? I can never seem to spend the $90 asking price for a Finals DVD.
My favorite year is 2007 and I see the cost of the DVD has dropped significantly.
Can you explain that again, this time in english?
I would love to, Van… grab your coat and hang on!
DCI= Drum Corps International. Justa J0e and Nomad Scry are fans, like me (and my 11yr old niece)
They are drum and bugle corps with a color guard that performs musical numbers on a field, called a field show. Great fun to see live. As a band geek, I nerd out when I go to a show. We all have our favorite corps- mine are Phantom Regiment and Santa Clara Vanguard. It is very difficult to find “free” videos of performances because these kids volunteer to be part of each corp and they travel across the US, competing all summer long. So they have to raise funds for operating expenses and travel costs, and so I understand why they charge for everything…
The competition season is just beginning and I will be attending the show here in AZ with my niece and the Mangan clan later in June. WOOT
Thanks for the illumination.
POT CALLING KETTLE!
You said pot.
giggle
I have the 2003 Finals dvd set. My parents gave it to me as a Christmas prize one year.
Not sure if I’ll get to ee a live show this year.
Can’t stand the TV broadcast. The producers NEVER seem to understand that
A) The show was designed to be viewed from the 50 yard line, halfway up the stands. B) The show was DESIGNED! Meticulously. Then it was practiced and tweaked to perfection over a period of months. It doesn’t need fancy camera angles and cut-a-ways to “make it” exciting. It already is.
I think we should call in to question mr. Mangan’s birth certificate…
Why not, it’s only fashionable. I’d vote him in for president. There would be more music and drinks and less nuclear missles and greedy politics. Okay, that’s the end of my political discussion 🙂
I’m betting on Transylvanian, nothing human could stay untanned in the Arizona sunshine….
My Earbuddies segments are written, but not yet laid to ones and zeroes.
Jack just needs the raw recordings and the original song tracks, right? Or should I do some editing?
That’s what’s so fun about Jack, he’ll take it anyway you want to give it to him baby!
With THAT out of the way …
I tend to edit and overproduce the stuff I send him because I love production work and he is the only outlet I really have for my muse.
(hehehe, he’s my outlet, hehehe)
“natural”
SMELL THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Smells like the Stanley Cup Final
Here, smell this… cup.
Get that jock strap away from me!!!
You know every time I see reaper on gmail I get sad. Why hath he forsaken us?

CP: If I Die Sudden — John Mellencamp
What a great song!
insert a whole lot of “whatever”
Obviously my tolerance level is way down today. I have a co-worker that always shows up late, leaves early and does whatever he can to get out of as much work as possible throughout the day. I just heard him joking about deleting email from clients so he didn’t have to deal with them. Must not throw things at co-workers…..
I just had an argument with a co-worker about whether or not ghosts were scarier than zombies. Seriously.
Then at one point in the discussion I just stopped and said, “Is this conversation really happening?”
Okay, if at that point the co-worker turned see-through and walked away from you through a wall … BEST OFFICE CONVERSATION EVAH!!!!
Jack: In my opinion, the “studio-recorded” 60 Lines segments had better comedic flow because every line came immediately after the previous one, with no numbers to break them up. On the other hand, given that this episode’s 60 Lines segment was a live recording, you have a point. If you were to delete all the numbers from the beginnings of the 60 lines, the recording would probably sound choppy.
J0e: That’s the same reason I usually do my own audio editing for Deadpan segments. The Deadpan is currently my only outlet for that muse, too. 🙂
Amy, which audio did you provide? Your voice & both songs?
Just my voice. That was what I did for the last Earbuddies segment. I think the last time we did Earbuddies, someone (presumably Jack) added in the music under my voice, so I assumed that would happen again.
The last round of Earbuddies, I meant.
By “edit my own audio,” I just meant “delete all the random clicks, pops, breaths, and other noises between sentences, tighten up the blank spaces between sentences so it flows, and run the noise remover to get rid of the computer fan.” That’s all I did for this round of Earbuddies, and it’s what I do for all my text-only Deadpan segments that I record on my microphone.
Years of hard work and focused determination have brought a handful of young and supremely talented people to the pinnacle of competition, which will soon end in triumph for some, and heartbreak for many.
The Scripps National Spelling Bee starts today!
Gimmie a 4.
A four syllable word or is that a difficulty rating?
Or do you want someone to spell four for you.
Spelling Bees always remind me of Charlie Brown.
Rats!
Dear workmate neighbors: The only thing worse than smelling your tuna lunch is smelling your HEATED tuna lunch.
Please have mercy on my soul.
How about the smell of their tuna laden corpse being heated in the micro-wave?
I mean, … hypothetically.
While that would also smell foul, it’d solve my problem in the long-term.
Oh hooRAY! Another generation of fucking hateful bigots.
Praise jeebus.
It’s not very many steps from here to bullying and abuse. When some 12 year old walks up to an army checkpoint with an explosive vest on and kills everyone in the area. That child wasn’t BORN hating. Someone had to go out of their way, they had to apply extra effort to TEACH that child to hate.
IMHO – If Jesus had been anywhere near this church he would have wept.
North Carolina is up to it’s reality bending tricks again:
Speaking of crimes against humanity, my ear buds are finished and waiting in Jacks “in box”.
In regards to earbuddies, if you ate using Audacity, how do you get the backing track to the voice over?
I would think eating with Audacity is not as efficient as using a fork.
After you’ve recorded your voice, click on File>Import>Audio… and open the song. It will appear as a second audio track below the one that contains your voice. You’ll probably have to turn the volume down on the song so you can still hear your voice; I always did when I was working on Questors episodes. You can either select the music track and use the Amplify tool to turn it down, or use the little plus-minus slider at the far left of the audio track itself. I usually used both.
Yeah.
The mass showing up on my Mom’s MRI and Xrays was bone scaring and NOT cancer.
Still don’t know why her leg hurts but it’s not cancer.
Yea.
I’m taking her for a week at the beach tomorrow because I can.
And because what she likes to do at the beach is sit under an umbrella reading her Kindle and drinking Mudslides.
I can deal with that.
I’ll take my Pops as well. He makes me laugh. We get in trouble.
heh

“The transhumanoids and singularitarians and online futurists love to congratulate themselves over their unflappability at the prospects of shatteringly onrushing changed futures. They literally have a whole “shock level” calculator, which is kinda sorta like a Cosmo sex quiz for pasty futurological males who think diddling themselves over cartoons of space elevators or descriptions of traversable wormholes demonstrates the awesomeness of their humanity-plus brains as compared to mehum (mere human) sheeple types.”

My new month end work load is kicking my butt. Put in 10 hours yesterday, even working through lunch. Not sure how much I’ll be putting in today. Hubby’s not happy.

Today I go with the kindergarten to the Como Zoo in Saint Paul. Last time I went with a kindergarten class to Como Zoo it was the 1970’s, and we walked there from Chelsea Heights Elementary.
I swear there are some mostly sane people in this state. This guy does not represent typical beliefs despite the outspoken Phelps attempts.
Never doubted it, Cynful!

Topeka 😛
So nothing like the horrible pudding that looks like frog spawn in milk.
Sickening, but given the greater outreach that modern communication has given us these last decades, it isn’t unexpected that we hear more messages of fringe hate groups.
Definitely true dat. There just seems to be such a rash of it lately. I think it’s around the election, Obama’s verbalization of his support of gay marriage, and who knows what all else.
Lord. With all the fucked up bullshit going on in our country right now… this next election is going to come down to the issue of gay marriage, isnt it?
Happy 2012!
It’s a great distraction from the completely messed up issues of unemployment, foreclosures, student loans, our poor guys in the military, healthcare, etc, etc.
Sorry, I’m voting on the initiative on whether or not gay people with opinions should be illegal.
One second, please…..
I have to admire how maple syrup makes any brand of porridge taste like maple syrup flavoured wall paper paste.
I’m sorry, but my first reaction was to literally lol after reading the headline. Sadly these jacktards are going to be coming out (no pun intended) more and more as the year goes on.
Next headline:
Pastor says the temptation of temptation may be tempting, but temptation is wrong. Oh also killing is bad.
Every morning I watch ten minutes of the news to get weather and traffic before heading to my banal job. Somehow each morning, this commercial shows and the song gets stuck in my head. Sharing my pain 🙂
TOday will involves lots of waiting around as public transport chaos occurs.
Van, your FB posts have been a source of joy for me lately. I thank you, sir.
Month end = blech
Didn’t Philip K. Dick once write a story about arbitrary network lockdowns keeping people from accessing their own websites during the day? “Flow My Tears,” the Podcaster Said”, wasn’t it?
Not sure, but he might of written a story about podcasters being fed mind altering drugs. “A Scanner Deadpan”
It was a great calculator. I even programmed it to play tetris at one point. 🙂
So did anyone watch the Generation Kill miniseries? I’m about halfway through. Those Burns and Simon fellas make some engrossing television, I tell ya.
Yeah! That was great.
Hubby and I are both hoping it’s just because I’m still learning the new system but I had two ten hour days and one twelve hour day so far this week and today’s looking to be at least ten hours again.
If things don’t smooth out, I may have to look for another job. Health wise, I can’t keep this up 🙁
That sucks, bunny.

Anyone else dealing with crazies and insistant people today?
When you work with the public, everyday is like that.
If the thought of soundtracks from cheesey 60 and 70’s flicks makes you break out into a cold sweat do not click on the following link:
Now see, “Analog Method of Generation” is a good band name… Or song title at the very least
Wasn’t that a Rush album?
Hubby has decided he likes the band Cherri Bomb but he’s also disturbed by the fact he likes them. He says ther’s something wrong with liking a bunch of 14 year old girls
I told him to buy their album. That way he can listen to them without actually watching them. He is still torn
I wonder how he feels about The Fresh Beat Band?
Probably a lot worse if they were called ‘The Fresh Meat Band’.
OMG I GET THIS JOKE!
*falls over*
Speaking of:
I’m really digging the new Animals as Leaders album. It’s instrumental guitar stuff (attn Rhett and TEB’s hubby), but I think there are a lot of different styles going on. Most of you will find something to like.
I tried to like Silverchair, but I couldnt get past the 14 year old girl thing either
Zing! Hanson are now on their way to open a can of MMMbop on your ass.
I prefer Silvertide. I think they just *sing* about (14yr old) girls, er I mean women
Crap joke for the evening:
Father O’Reilly let the kids of the parish shave his hair off for charity,when asked afterwards how he felt he said,it feels a bit strange but i think it makes my cock look bigger
Ah the joys of siblings.
Will I be seeing Prometheus you ask? Alas no, I will be seeing The Huntsman flick with sister.
The horror, the horror…
Wait a minute! We don’t get Prometheus until next week here in Canadaland. Twice now, you have had movies the week before us. I think I’m a wee bit jealous!
Only twice? bastards!
We saw that one too. Yep.
Not as bad as I feared, but that lass from the Twilight really can’t act for toffee.
Some examples of the artist Leo Dillon who died recently:
Saw MIB 3. Lost all of the charm the first one had & gained all of todays pitiful attempt of using wit & unnecessary overuse of profanity.
Not worth your hard-earned dollars.
Certainly not for little ears.
I didn’t think it was brilliant, but found it more fun that Men in Black 2.
Well, that’s a shame.
I’ll still see it. I enjoyed the first two for what they were. Also, how vulger can it be for PG-13? Thats an honest question.
It only bothers me because I know children under the age of 10 will go and see it
I actually never saw the second one, so I’m not in a hurry to see III.
Yes, I did like the first one, just in case you’re thinking me a film snob.
One of my old work colleagues was friends with Lowell Cunningham. He related a story about when Lowell, himself and two other friends were hanging out talking. Lowell started talking about how he had this idea, but didn’t know the process to script writing. One of the other guys knew a lot about though and explained how you outline your idea, how to turn it into a script and how to submit it for consideration to a studio. The next year MIB was accepted for production.
Man, I’ve apparently aged some in the last year. I didn’t have any trouble making the long day round trip to take my daughter to camp last year. Last night when I returned from that trip, I was spent.
Though, I suspect the fact that my son was also in the van for his first week of camp may have played a part in the amount of effort it took me to deliver then with both alive 🙂
Life has got in the way again (in regards to my earbuddies recording).
Bugger..
Me too. Daft twonker gits! (did I do that right?)
Morning Pan
Downtown and back in record time.
Crap joke for the bank holiday:
Brian is on a Nude beach in Spain. Out of manners & to prevent sunburn, he keeps a hat over his privates. A woman walked past sniggering & says ‘If you were a gentleman you’d lift your hat’. Brian replies ‘If you weren’t so bloody ugly it would lift itself’
Also, the “Arizona Coyotes”? Doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.
Oh. Why are you saying Arizona Coyotes? What do you know that I don’t?
Hmm
Glendale is close to a 20 year deal. One of the conditions is achange in name.
Army ants, maybe. Cause they’re running over anyone in their way. Sorry but if they win the cup on Wed, theyll have gone 16-2 in the playoffs. The only other team to match that feat? The 86 Oilers… and you can rattle off an entire hall of fame with that line up.
I hope the goddamn thugs in the seats appreciate it.
So that was supremely awful
Jack! Mista Mangan!
Check the Spherical email, I’ve sent all components of Earbddies I was going to generate!
My plans for tomorrow involve getting up at suck o’clock (or, if you prefer, O-Dark-Thirty) and spending about 15 hours in the multipurpose room at a school. I’m mostly looking forward to it, though. This will be my second stint as a pollworker. I had enough fun the first time that I volunteered to do it again. 🙂
TIL: The guy who played Rush in SG:U and Rumpelstiltskin in Once Upon a Time was also a Bond villan.
And, IMDB is good for marriage. Being able to look up an actor that we both recognize but can’t remember from what saves much arguing 🙂
Robert Carlyle, plays a good nutter.
TIL? Tricky Igloo Licker?

You mean when youre not too busy writing trivia questions for a certain trivia podcast hmmmmmm????????
Surely 2 categories and 1 stray robot question for ATW9K does not count as a full distraction…?
LOL! 😆 My motivator seems to be on the fritz today, too. :/

:ftb: doesn’t do ASCII art, sadly.
My Earbuddies segments have been turned in! 🙂
OK fellow DCI fans! The season is nearly upon us… I am curious to know if any of you own any past Finals DVDs or any specific Corps DVDs? I can never seem to spend the $90 asking price for a Finals DVD.
My favorite year is 2007 and I see the cost of the DVD has dropped significantly.
Can you explain that again, this time in english?
I would love to, Van… grab your coat and hang on!
DCI= Drum Corps International. Justa J0e and Nomad Scry are fans, like me (and my 11yr old niece)
http://www.dci.org
They are drum and bugle corps with a color guard that performs musical numbers on a field, called a field show. Great fun to see live. As a band geek, I nerd out when I go to a show. We all have our favorite corps- mine are Phantom Regiment and Santa Clara Vanguard. It is very difficult to find “free” videos of performances because these kids volunteer to be part of each corp and they travel across the US, competing all summer long. So they have to raise funds for operating expenses and travel costs, and so I understand why they charge for everything…
The competition season is just beginning and I will be attending the show here in AZ with my niece and the Mangan clan later in June. WOOT
Thanks for the illumination.
POT CALLING KETTLE!
You said pot.
giggle
I have the 2003 Finals dvd set. My parents gave it to me as a Christmas prize one year.
Not sure if I’ll get to ee a live show this year.
Can’t stand the TV broadcast. The producers NEVER seem to understand that
A) The show was designed to be viewed from the 50 yard line, halfway up the stands. B) The show was DESIGNED! Meticulously. Then it was practiced and tweaked to perfection over a period of months. It doesn’t need fancy camera angles and cut-a-ways to “make it” exciting. It already is.
I think we should call in to question mr. Mangan’s birth certificate…
Why not, it’s only fashionable. I’d vote him in for president. There would be more music and drinks and less nuclear missles and greedy politics. Okay, that’s the end of my political discussion 🙂
I’m betting on Transylvanian, nothing human could stay untanned in the Arizona sunshine….
My Earbuddies segments are written, but not yet laid to ones and zeroes.
Jack just needs the raw recordings and the original song tracks, right? Or should I do some editing?
That’s what’s so fun about Jack, he’ll take it anyway you want to give it to him baby!
With THAT out of the way …
I tend to edit and overproduce the stuff I send him because I love production work and he is the only outlet I really have for my muse.

CP: If I Die Sudden — John Mellencamp
What a great song!
insert a whole lot of “whatever”
Obviously my tolerance level is way down today. I have a co-worker that always shows up late, leaves early and does whatever he can to get out of as much work as possible throughout the day. I just heard him joking about deleting email from clients so he didn’t have to deal with them. Must not throw things at co-workers…..
I just had an argument with a co-worker about whether or not ghosts were scarier than zombies. Seriously.
Then at one point in the discussion I just stopped and said, “Is this conversation really happening?”
Okay, if at that point the co-worker turned see-through and walked away from you through a wall … BEST OFFICE CONVERSATION EVAH!!!!
Jack: In my opinion, the “studio-recorded” 60 Lines segments had better comedic flow because every line came immediately after the previous one, with no numbers to break them up. On the other hand, given that this episode’s 60 Lines segment was a live recording, you have a point. If you were to delete all the numbers from the beginnings of the 60 lines, the recording would probably sound choppy.
J0e: That’s the same reason I usually do my own audio editing for Deadpan segments. The Deadpan is currently my only outlet for that muse, too. 🙂
Amy, which audio did you provide? Your voice & both songs?
Just my voice. That was what I did for the last Earbuddies segment. I think the last time we did Earbuddies, someone (presumably Jack) added in the music under my voice, so I assumed that would happen again.
The last round of Earbuddies, I meant.
By “edit my own audio,” I just meant “delete all the random clicks, pops, breaths, and other noises between sentences, tighten up the blank spaces between sentences so it flows, and run the noise remover to get rid of the computer fan.” That’s all I did for this round of Earbuddies, and it’s what I do for all my text-only Deadpan segments that I record on my microphone.
Years of hard work and focused determination have brought a handful of young and supremely talented people to the pinnacle of competition, which will soon end in triumph for some, and heartbreak for many.

It’s not very many steps from here to bullying and abuse. When some 12 year old walks up to an army checkpoint with an explosive vest on and kills everyone in the area. That child wasn’t BORN hating. Someone had to go out of their way, they had to apply extra effort to TEACH that child to hate.

Speaking of crimes against humanity, my ear buds are finished and waiting in Jacks “in box”.
In regards to earbuddies, if you ate using Audacity, how do you get the backing track to the voice over?
I would think eating with Audacity is not as efficient as using a fork.
After you’ve recorded your voice, click on File>Import>Audio… and open the song. It will appear as a second audio track below the one that contains your voice. You’ll probably have to turn the volume down on the song so you can still hear your voice; I always did when I was working on Questors episodes. You can either select the music track and use the Amplify tool to turn it down, or use the little plus-minus slider at the far left of the audio track itself. I usually used both.
Thanks, will give it a try later.
You’re welcome! 🙂
But if you are looking for alternatives other than a spork, I would recommend, Wavosaur http://www.wavosaur.com/ or Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/.
Van completely ignored your (fork) jab.

I didn’t think it was brilliant, but found it more fun that Men in Black 2.
Well, that’s a shame.
I’ll still see it. I enjoyed the first two for what they were. Also, how vulger can it be for PG-13? Thats an honest question.
It only bothers me because I know children under the age of 10 will go and see it
I actually never saw the second one, so I’m not in a hurry to see III.
Yes, I did like the first one, just in case you’re thinking me a film snob.
One of my old work colleagues was friends with Lowell Cunningham. He related a story about when Lowell, himself and two other friends were hanging out talking. Lowell started talking about how he had this idea, but didn’t know the process to script writing. One of the other guys knew a lot about though and explained how you outline your idea, how to turn it into a script and how to submit it for consideration to a studio. The next year MIB was accepted for production.
Man, I’ve apparently aged some in the last year. I didn’t have any trouble making the long day round trip to take my daughter to camp last year. Last night when I returned from that trip, I was spent.
