Brainy Show Notes.
My thanks to the Energizer bunny for her Show Notes write-up.
I think we’ve done something pretty special here with the Nine Inch Smurfs collaboration, something that’s never been done before, and I want to thank everyone for their brilliant ideas and contributions. (I’ll update this space later with the full credits)

Non sequitur: God we go through a lit of triple A batteries in this house. Seems like I’m buying a new pack every couple of weeks
Do you get Duracells in Canada?
cough
Really? It’s going to start my comments on a brand new page? Call me grumpy, but that’s going to get annoying after a bit. Especially when trying to follow comments
With our dollar higher than the US’ I really need to think about traveling south sometime in the near future
I think TEB has put it for more elegantly than I could Lo.
I don’t think there’s a limit to the comments-per-page number.
I can try 500. . . . That would make the page split a fun weekly goal, rather than an interruption.
I do think the threading option should remain intact, even if most of us will never use it. And even if it is a bit annoying to most of us.
As a general rule, I think options are usually better than limitations.
*uses option*
*becomes annoyed*
*finds limitations*
500 is too many per page… the longer your pages take to load, the more problems it can inflcict on the server (one of the reasons I’m updating all the older sites).
I say play with 100 and 250, see where the happy medium is. Change is good. Embrace it.
@Van: too late. the negative is all you ;)
Problem is, with threading, the comments will never be in just chrono order, even if they’re all on one page. The threads will be in group order.
..and I really don’t want to be the Mr Negative of deadpan.
/sigh
Holy crap, I was so fixated on site issues, that I completely passed on Bunny’s battery comment…
So I’m going to take a positive step and go to bed.
night Pan.
I use another board that has threads, but it requires a login, and there is an optiuon to view all new messages since your last visit.
My apologies Jack, I’m just being an old fuddy duddy, who resists change.
On another note: Rhettro, I finished Two Worlds II. I dust do all the side quests and still put in about 35 hours so, even though the game was a little cleche, I feel I got my money’s worth
Night Van
*tucks Vanamonde in*
I agree with Jack, leave the threading in. Just dint be surprised if I don’t use it or miss a few comments *shrug*
Maybe Van and I are starting to show our age.
In the Two Worlds comment: dust = didn’t
Sorry Bunny, the Canadian Dollar is still .0293 below the U.S. Dollar…You’d do well to save that .0293 cents!
Yug.
Really, I show it as being .0293 ABOVE the US dollar. Maybe you should double check your figures, Lo
http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/rates/exchange.html
According to the Bank of Canada, $1 Canadian will buy $1.03 US
I’M AMERICAN! YOU CHECK YOUR FIGURES!!!!!
*sigh*
Its ok. You really dont wanna come here anyway right now. Tis a messy, bitter place.
“messy”
But is it warmer?
Hubby called. Going to try to make his way home. Guess I Better start supper
Well… yes.
I’m checking out Long Pan’s figure.
Its rather… pasty… shaped.
A First: hearing QVC playing on 3 different TVs in a kind of satanic stereo
I went to the US Treasury website but It’s not very user friendly

Well, I guess I’m not threadless anymore. Except that declaration comes after my threaded comment. Surely, a singularity has formed as a result and killed some kitten somewhere.
I am threadless and proud of it.
Wut
Ha! Ed’s site proves me right. Do I get a cookie?
She did it all for the cookie, c’mon
The cookie, c’mon
So you can take that nookie
And stick it … HUH wha WHAT!!
.0293 cents? Time for a Tim Horton’s binge!
Am I a bad Canadian because I almost never go to Tim Hortons?
Do your fellow Canadians know aboot this, Bunny?
I am having an absolutely delicious Samual Smith’s Oatmeal Stout to help kill this pain in my jaw/gum.
Wow this is a tasty beverage. Who knew a stout could rock you in it’s arms like this?
… and another thing.
Why is it legal to pay someone THAT much money to lay you back in a chair and feel PAIN but it is illegal to pay them the same amount of money to lay you back in that same chair and make you feel the 180degree opposite of that pain? Huh? Why?
Back to all the comments on one page?
ok
Tonight, in approx. 2 hours to be exact, I’ll be drinking a Snakebite courtesy of Four Peaks… while sitting in Four Peaks Brewing Co.
Is it time to go yet? I am ready!
I get the comments through the RSS feed, so threading is meaningless to me. The comments still show up in chronological order with no threading.
It was a bit disconcerting when I clicked on the last comment in the RSS feed and was directed to halfway up the page where the comment was threaded instead of the bottom of the page where the newest comment would normally be. But, I can easily get used to that.
Seems like a lose-lose situation for me. If I continue to read the comments through the RSS feed, I loose the ability to see the threaded comments (I’m sure I will miss some continuity that will be assumed in these posts). If I switch to reading the comments on the site, I loose the ability to know where the new comments are. With threading, I will have to go through the entire set of comments again to figure out where the new ones were posted.
Think I’ll keep reading on the RSS feed for now.
*falls off chair, on to floor, pissing self in laughter*

OMFG my sides hurt… Oh Armchairinmansdenisjon… I love you soooo much.
Im suddenly in the mood for a Sammy Smith’s Oatmeal Stout. Luckily I have a Breckenridge Imperial Stout on hold to satisfy.
I’m. Thinkibng I like the rss idea. Perhaps I will switch to that approach.
I like my women like I like my beer, stout and full of fiber.

Ooh, it’s Tuesday and the comments per pages has changed again. Mighty exciting this Deadpan of yours :)
Month end – ugh
Jack, I don’t know about the movie but I do know there’s an Angry Birds kids cartoon show in the works.
Good morning, angry birds!
Charlie Sheen makes me sad, and mad, and barfy.
-29 right now. It’s days like this I’m really glad I work from home.
Charlie Sheen looks bad for his age. It’s very obvious he’s done some hard living.
Now… Back to my spreadsheets.
(meanwhile in BIZZARO Deadpan)
Now … Sack to my bedsheets.
But think of the pillow cases JJ, it’s a harsh cold world out there.
Okay, if I zoom back from the default, it sizes out to be functional on the standard browser on my G1. Did not find that any other browser worked any differently.
But Deadpan is a definite go on my phone now.
Moderation? Okay that’s it. It sucks.
Just kidding.
Mostly.
And CCH #1 for the day commences . . .
I hear you. I’m getting ready for mine too. :(
I’m ok with limiting the number of comments per page. It will definitely help reduce bandwidth and server stress, after all, we can comment a lot.
I’m not sure if wordpress (or whatever this is) supports it, but maybe the current page for comments can use “latest” instead of a page number? That way refreshes will keep you current even if the comments get paged.
I don’t know what behavior you’re seeing, but when I refresh the main article page (not the paged comments page), it’ll automatically jump me to the most recent comments…
I wasn’t thinking of the main article page. I was thinking more along the lines that an url like http://www.jackmangan.com/2011/02/24/jack-mangans-deadpan-198-nine-inch-smurfs/comment-latest would link you to the the very latest comment regardless of what page it is on.
Actually, ignore that. The more I think about it, the dumber it is. The RSS feed does the same, and you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Yeah I’m on a drug… its called Lo Pan
And if you tried it, it’d melt your FACE OFF.
My benders make Kieth Richards and Frank Sinatra look like droopy-eyed, armless children.
I gots Adonis DNA, bitches.
Plus, I’m a raging anti-Semite. And Mel Gibson things I’m great.
And we think going thru women like water is awesome.

Jackman’s Deadpan? There’s an app for that. Well there should be. Summer?
I wish I were an app developer… Got a couple things in mind that would be cool, and maybe I wouldn’t have to scramble so much to make ends meet!
I know what you mean. I’ve thought about it, but even if I had the time, I don’t have the tools.
I wish I had the time to learn to be an app developer. The potential for big bux would be there.
So the book I won in a contest arrived today, all the way from Arizona.
The author even signed it..Woot!
This is it. The run for the playoffs begins.
Probably not for the Devils or Leafs, ditto. . . . But hey, keep hope alive!
They quite a way from the last playoff spot, but given that they’ve won 9 of their last 10 games, it isn’t totally impossible they’d make it.
Avs are out too.
Providence PS fired ALL of its teachers.
Who what where??
“CITY OFFICIALS in Providence, R.I., have announced the mass firing of all 1,926 teachers in Providence schools, effective at the end of the school year.”
Are you fucking kidding me…
It will be a grand day once Idiocracy comes to fruition.
“And the Oscar goes to… ASS:The Movie”
NS posted a link to that story on Twitter a while back.
I gathered that due to the contract, they have to give a certain amount of warning if pay and conditions need to change.
So although all the staff have got pink slips, not all are going to be fired.

I’m not that keen on beards..
Evil, Inc. has been working in PVD, RI for years. It’s a tough, tough city/school district.
Sounds like big-money bully power-move intimidation tactics.
That statement could apply to aspects of Game of Thrones and/or the Providence teachers’ plight.

Hubby said his commute to work this morning took two hours (normally 40 minutes). I’m going roads and traffic will be better for the drive home
In case we haven’t figured it out, I’m done for the day. At least I’m making myself done for the day. I spent 10 hours at my desk today. My doctors would be proud… Not

Jack, it’s suppose to get to -6 on Thursday. I might take advantage of the warmer weather (don’t laugh) and go downtown. That means you may or may not get show notes, depending upon when I get back
Schedule? What’s that?
Yikes. Safe travels up there in Calgary! Maybe you should drop in at a Timmy’s, while you’re out? This is an Unshow week anyway :), but thanks for the heads up.

+1 for the Game of Thrones trailer SCHWING!
This may be the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen:
http://goodnightdune.com/
I didn’t know Elton John and his partner adopted. While one side of me says that’s cool, another side questions having a newborn when you’re pushing sixty. How hard is it going to be keeping up with a kid when they’re reaching their teens and you’re into your seventies? I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
When you have one billion dollars, you can pay someone else to keep up with them.
My fav quote from the latest Ansible (thog’s masterclass) :
‘”I love you,” Jack told her as he drove into her, taking her completely with one stroke, making love to her all over the room wherever she looked, but the best place to look was right in front of her, directly into the head and passion of his gaze.’ (Anna Windsor, Captive Heart, 2011)
^^ ummmm
Cool place to break the comments
I was ummming Van’s quote BTW
If they had sex everywhere she looked and she looked mostly at his head, does that mean they had sex on his head? Interesting if he can really bend like that
Ed, that may be the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen.

better to throw the food together then to throw it in another preposition.
I just saw a beer with a swell name.
It is “Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot”
Only on the lable it is -
Lagunitas
Wilco
Tango
Foxtrot
hehe. I’m 12.
lmao
I think that goes swell with Van’s quote. ;)
Deadpanites, I would like to pick your collective brain about music yet again. I hope you don’t mind.
I’m working on another fanmix, but there’s a big hole in the story I’m trying to tell with it. I’m currently on the hunt for a song that matches the following scenario and sentiment:
Guy and Girl once knew each other, then fell out of touch for a fairly long while. Now, circumstances have put them back in each other’s lives, and they’re attracted to each other but are reluctant to admit it to each other and pursue a relationship. The song can be from either the guy’s or the girl’s point of view, or both. I have a slight preference for the girl’s point of view, because the songs before and after this one will both be from the guy’s point of view. (Those songs are “The Bends” by Radiohead and “Think I’m In Love” by Beck.)
I don’t think this is what you are looking for, but your query reminds me of Dreamtheater’s Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The guy is undergoing hypnotherapy to regress to a former life where there was this girl and… really, I’m not sure what happens but it’s really good despite.
Depending on the circumstances of the couple falling out of touch: Entre Nous by Rush would be good
And speaking of circumstances: Circumstances by Rush
Amy, the first and only thing that comes to mind is “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper, which is probably not exactly what you need.
I hang my head in shame.
If youre lost you can look, Jack.
BTW Nomad, I keep forgetting to answer your question… Yes, I think I’d like to do remixes with less noise, then make the Nine Inch Smurf versions available for download.
Sadly, those also wouldn’t work for Amy’s project.
Goodnight :dune:
Good news for US Shameless fans:

“…making love to her all over the room wherever she looked…”
Uh. Huh.
Amy, I tried looking at “Your Wildest Dreams” by the Moody Blues, but that’s of a guy wondering if the love of his youth still remembers him, not so much about the renewal part.
Amy – what about CHicago’s “Color my world” ?
COLOR MY WORLD (Chicago)
As time goes on I realize
Just what you mean to me
And now, now that you’re near
Promise your love
That I’ve waited to share
And dreams of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you
No?

I know they are pretty mainstream, but that’s me. I love all 3 songs.
Jack, don’t you ever EVER hang your head in shame near Cyndi. I’m mad at you for that.
Amy, there might be a better version of It’s all Coming back to me. I didn’t find the best one.
My comment is awaiting moderation maybe due to all the links?
*zerbert raspberry ppppfffft*
You have a way with words, sir! I am rendered speechless. Speechless, I say! ;)
Then why you still talkin, boy!?!?!?
*does jig*
Why is Long Pan raspberrying me?
I’m sensitive today.
The above Raspberry was meant for ditto as we were play fighting. Did not mean for you to get caught in cross fire.
It got right in my eye.
Dammit that ALWAYS happens.
cough
I second that. :)
*passes out*
That happens a lot too. I’m THAT damn good.
Modest too!
Modesty is overrated.
Come here. I’ll show you.
Oh! Yay.. my Gravity-Tar finally updated.
We are talking about blowing raspberries, right?
Blowing
Raspberries
Combine in any way you want. ;)
ditto wants to go first. Ill observe and report.
I think I just pimped out ditto….
Whipped cream should always be involved. :)
oh how did I know ditto would just “happen” to turn up…
Note to self: Long Pan is intimidated by my raspberry blowing prowess.
Is this what Prince meant in “Raspberry Beret”?
Incorrect. Lo Pan just wanted to make ditto blush
I’m not sure if I want to encourage you or discourage you.
Damn my confliction!
“Lo Pan just wanted to make ditto”
Jack isn’t allowed here. I’m mad at him.
