Greetings WFMU listeners including this week's featured listener Timi D... in San Francisco, CA - the Bay mayn where other diehard listeners to WFMU include Porckhop in SF, LS Monkey in West Oakland, Jessica in B-town (Berkeley), and Andrew in SF......Reminder to Sean Daily - last week's honored listener - no "WOO HOO" allowed today....only first commenter gets to say WOO HOO.....otherwise it gets played out and will cause Bryce to hang himself again.......>>>>But on another level TODAY'S COMMENT BOARD THREAD is this: THINGS THAT YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR IN YOUR LIFE? In times like this, an era of financial challenges and recession when a lot of folks are losing their jobs and homes - it is more important than ever, I think, to focus on the positives in our lives. So I am asking you, dear listener/commenter, what are some of the things in your life that you feel grateful or happy about? I know I have a ton of them which I will enter later down below.....But what are yours?

Fri. 1/30/09 3:03pm From: Sean Daily

Fourth comment! Woo hoo!

Go Timi D! Go Timi D! It's your birthday! It's your birthday!

Closin' the week out...
Cup to the two, to the three, to da four,
Gulp a dozen cakes if they drop to the floor,
It's the reflex I'm lost in -- fuck what it's costin'!
Cream the sweet shorties with a thick lick 'a frostin'!
Deal this hungry bitch in, die right in this kitchen,
Hot mitt mouth, signal check, fire da pitch in,
Other four-leg MCs all weak slo-mo pup-fakes,
I'm LL Drool J, tongue tight on the uptakes,
Back-turn sneak snack breaks, dessert-is-whattup-breaks,
Lick the papers long time, down dazed wi' mah CUPCAKES!
All Pav-lov to da bakers!!!
