Starting with the 70s -- it could be a classic (or obscure) punk rocker, a forgotten disco diva, a long-unheard hit record, or none of these. What happens next depends on what's in the WFMU new bin and whether I remember my records from home. Tune in and find out! You'll even hear a live band once in a while.

Lion update: They've been moving the cam position around. The nursery is quite big! Big enough to accommodate a small stand of large trees for use as a scratching pole.

Sybil, that's a great poster!
Laurie, there are 4 baby raccoons (and their Mom) living under my garage - I'm gonna set up a webcam of my own!

Are jackie and toni one and the same person? Or two separate people? I'm so confused... Happy birthday to you*!
* Is "you" singular or plural?
Tue. 7/1/08 11:53pm
From:
Joe
The plural of "you" is "youse"
Wed. 7/2/08 12:00am
From:
Droll
In Pittsburgh they say "Yinz", which is a bastardized contraction of "You Ones". I think TD is a reforming comma abusing automata triggered by station staff playing with the computer in the library.

So what you're saying Droll, is that TD is like Skynet.

Serious cuteness: http://atvs.vg.no/player/?id=16995
One of the cubs is grooming the other one -- licking the other one's chinny! And another one is using the one getting groomed as a pillow.

laurie why are you being mean to toni? goodnight evan
Wed. 7/2/08 12:29am

What? Being mean would involve revealing your last name, too, but I'm not going to do that.

. o O ( Now if I could only find out who programmed Laurie, I could find the programmer of TD, and then it's a small matter of catching Mr. Mustard in the Library with the Automata )
Wed. 7/2/08 12:30am
From:
Laurie
Do you think it's like Rumpelstiltskin? I reveal Toni Daytona's real name, and now his power's gone and he has to go back to wherever it is he dwells.

One of my earliest baseball memories is my father screaming obscenities at the television when Mcdowell gave up the walk off home run that knocked the Yanks out of the playoffs in '95. Completely ruined dinner.
