Sat. 8/1/09 2:21am From: harvie

hey spooky!

re the horses birthday here's the reason:
The horses birthday is taken from August 1st in the year in which it was foaled. If it was foaled between the first day of January and the thirtieth day of June, the age is determined as August 1st in the year previous to the year in which it was foaled.

Hey Frank,
can you play WFMU on a radio and mess around with the 15 sec delay again--that was awesome a few shows ago, especially when you started counting and got 3 or 4 layers deep. How many layers do you think you could reach?

Sat. 8/1/09 2:48am From: Sarje

Nope, not just you Huw, the audio is bad and vid is worse...have you considered Stickam or something else, Frank?

Sat. 8/1/09 2:49am From: Brian Jude

Sarje - I can't actually take credit for that phrase. My friends at flickpodcast.com dedicated an episode to the concept.

Sat. 8/1/09 2:49am From: John

Manny- it happens to the best of us.

Sat. 8/1/09 2:49am From: Sarje

LOL, I feel your pain, Manny! Huw, are you actually in Wales? Then it's 0750?

Sat. 8/1/09 2:50am From: Toronto Jim

Just came in, but my mind twigged to FEN's mention of Pabst Blue Ribbon -- I will vouch that it is the very worst beer ever brewed in Christendom!

Sat. 8/1/09 2:50am From: Larry

hello everyone! i finally made it home in time to hear the show live!

Sat. 8/1/09 2:51am From: Sarje

Brian - Fair enough...it is a good one though, apropos given that TOYS really are getting their own movies now.

Sat. 8/1/09 2:51am From: mannythemailman

Hi Sarje,
Will you be doing a review of Asteroid The Movie? I need to know weather or not to go see it.

John: Never heard of St Ives. Is it worse than fekking Blue Ribbon? Worst draught beer ever! (Although JimSally, as my fellow Ontarian, might argue that anything on draught by "Great Lakes" Brewery MIGHT be the worst on the planet.

Sat. 8/1/09 2:55am From: spooky

Aint shit going on in Texas!

Sat. 8/1/09 2:56am From: Sarje

Brian - Fair enough. MTMM - Yes, I'll write a review of it :)

Sat. 8/1/09 2:57am From: Toronto Jim

As far as I know, Huw, there is no Welsh corner of Canada. I started self-teaching myself Welsh a few years back. Lovely language! (It's all due to my dedication to the great music of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci!)

Speed Fortune- was'nt he a famous Jewish race car driver

Sat. 8/1/09 3:00am From: Toronto Jim

What's most charming about the Welsh language -- I learned subsequently -- is that they have no possessive verb akin to our "to have." Rather, they say that the possessed item is "with them." As in: "Mae'n nghar gyda fi" meaning "There is a car with me" -- i.e. "I have a car"!

Sat. 8/1/09 3:01am From: peetyL

Sat. 8/1/09 3:05am From: Toronto Jim

Huw, I don't SPEAK it welll at all -- I've never had the opportunity to speak Welsh with another human being. But I've always been pretty good with writing/reading foreign languages. (I still have to think in English and extrapolate from there, but I will pat myself on the back for remembering (somehow) the bloody MUTATIONS!

Sat. 8/1/09 3:06am From: Erik

Well I'm sure you're no more than 6ft away from a Welshman in Canada, we are like rats. Canada is THE place that the Welsh emigrate to.

Sat. 8/1/09 3:10am From: Toronto Jim

No offence to JimSally (whose acquaintance I made two weeks back via this forum, and who claimed -- tongue in cheek, mind you -- to be sleeping with my wife (of which there is none)), but all this time I had thought of him as an intellect. Turns out (on the radio, at least) that he sounds too too much like a mouth-breather.

The old Mets stadium

Sat. 8/1/09 3:11am From: Brian Jude

Toronto Jim & all - Sorry about that. I had posted that elsewhere where it made sense, especially from a dramatic standpoint in which you scroll DOWN to see it. I didn't realize it would take up that much space here.

Shea Butter: It is produced from the edible nut of the fruit from the Karite tree grown in Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso and other Savanna Grasslands of West Africa. It is a wild growing tree that produces tiny, almond-like fruit from which Shea Butter is extracted.

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap was clogged one time and I squeezed it too hard and it exploded into my face and eyes. Later, I read that they actually have a warning on the bottle not to squeeze it too hard when it gets clogged...

Sat. 8/1/09 3:14am From: Toronto Jim

Huw: "Was?" My condolences on your wife's death.

I love reading the dr bronner's bottle

Sat. 8/1/09 3:15am From: Erik

yeah, he went totally over the end (who said he wasn't there to start, but it became evident). I think it had something to do with a divorce.

Sat. 8/1/09 3:15am From: mannythemailman

They changed the name of that cereal to Golden Crisps to make it sound more healthy

Sat. 8/1/09 3:15am From: Toronto Jim

FEN! I just sang the theme to Sugar Crisp! You missed it!

Sat. 8/1/09 3:15am From: Sarje

Jim: Wow, you're not familiar with marriage practices at all, are you? She took his name?!

Sat. 8/1/09 3:16am From: Toronto Jim

Thew Sugar Crisp Bear rode a motorbike into the commercial. And THAT waas the song: "Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp!"

Sarje (and Huw): Being an enlightened 21st Century man, I completely missed the old, worn "maiden changing her surname to attach herself (as a possession) to her "husband." Sorry. But truly -- I completely missed that possibility! So I'm happy, too, that she's not (evidently) dead (yet).

Crofft Supershow! Remember the segment about a "super" dunebuggy that was a wreck-out rustbucket named "Schlep" until duty called him to transform into the shiny red dune buggy that lurked within?! What was his "superhero" name again?

Sat. 8/1/09 3:21am From: Sarje

Jim: Fair enough (hey, I am a feminist), but the way you said it was just really...surprising. So yeah, a married person who "was" one surname is not necessarily dead. :)

Sat. 8/1/09 3:22am From: Sarje

Holy crap!!! It works! And sounds decent too!

Sat. 8/1/09 3:22am From: Toronto Jim

Wasn't "Land of the Lost" also a part of the Crofft thing? And, moreover, does anyone here remember the "Hudson Brothers Razzle-Dazzle Show?"

Huw: Just realized (at the urinal, as usual) that I'd fekked up mu declension (or whatever) of the word "Cath" in Welsh. It shoulda said "Her cat = ei chath." (That just to illustrate the fekked up Welsh plurality of mutations: Cath, Gath, Nghath, Chath -- all mean "Cat."

Manny: Don't ever ask me WHY I retain this shit, but I can remember that the Hudson Brothers were named Mark, Marty and Brett, I think... My siblings and I watched their silly Crofft show, plus we had their LP (for the younger set, that was a 12-inch vinyl disk played via a "record player").

Actually, Huw, there is a Swansea neighbourhood right here in Toronto! The political constituency there is still called "High Park-Swansea."

Alas, if you're from Swansea, you are a Jack c*nt, and I, as a dyed-in-the-wool Bluebirds fan, must smash you in the face with this pint-glass here!

I know "it's" means "it is," but I've wanted to know: what's the possessive for "it"? Like "it's punctuation" or "it's hat"?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:23am From: Brian Jude

"Its" - no apostrophe

Sat. 8/1/09 4:23am From: Toronto Jim

The possessive of "it" is "its" -- no apostrophe! (It breaks the rule of other possessives, to avoid confusion with the "it is" contraction.)

Right on, brother. The other, concomitant, thing that bugs me is the use of "straight up-and-down" quotation marks -- i.e. minute marks!) They are not apostrophes nor quote marks. Sheesh!

Ugh, Sarje, NOOOOOOOOOOO! "Whose"! I know you know.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:35am From: Joshua K

I used to work at the harborside financial center.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:35am From: Sarje

peetyL: yes, meant as a joke. I also always cringe at the mistakes on "to, two, too," "their, there, they're," and "your, you're," et al.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:35am From: Toronto Jim

No one who learnt French as their first language would ever misplace an apostrophe, methinks. They are important for clear written communication, after all. Like they are meant to be in English as well. I may be wrong...

Hey Joshua K!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:38am From: Toronto Jim

"There / their / they're" is the worst transgression of all. It makes clarity a haphazard thing. But it must be the most widespread (and growing) faux pas in written English today.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:38am From: Sarje

Toronto Jim: I think you're right, but I also think that we just don't emphasize a proper level of grammatical education early on in the U.S.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:39am From: Brian Jude

Sarje - We did when we had The Electric Company on TV!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:40am From: Sarje

TJ: I agree...it's absolutely awful. I see "your" instead of "you're" a lot too...and from smart people who KNOW BETTER....which means we really just have an epidemic of laziness.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:40am From: Joshua K

Whoah franks got a pepsi kona shirt. I used to drink that every morning my senior year of high school. That was a good drink I wish they still made.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:41am From: Sarje

Brian: can't say I saw it...I watched some of Schoolhouse Rock, but that was even a little before my time...

Brian Jude, I am looking at these pictures and lmao! "The New Yourk Time's" is CLASSIC.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:42am From: Brian Jude

Texting, e-mail and chatting makes the written grammatical laziness worse...

Sat. 8/1/09 4:43am From: peetyL

"OOP'S! SALE" LOL

Sat. 8/1/09 4:44am From: Sarje

Brian: it's an easy excuse for that. We can and do often communicate clearly and completely on the internet, it's all a matter of choice.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:44am From: dale

hi sarje and fellow......what do we call ourselves? rampies?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:45am From: Sarje

dale: Not sure, I'm just me! I'm a friend of the Rampler, and that's the best I can say about it.

Hey everyone, CLEAN YOUR BOATS!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:46am From: Joshua K

rampwhores?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:46am From: Toronto Jim

It does make it worse, Brian, true. Any major language changes considerably through time and place, especially English, which is both welcoming of foreign terms, and enjoying an unprecedented hegemony over language on Earth.

We all have to bear with the fact that English is the "de rigueur" "lingua franca" that we all share in our collective "Weltanshauung."

Sat. 8/1/09 4:48am From: Sarje

Yeah! Muppets reference!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:49am From: Brian Jude

Ramplerites, Rampheads, Ramplermaniacs?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:49am From: Toronto Jim

The "Rumpled?"

Sat. 8/1/09 4:50am From: Sarje

It's the Ramplerifics.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:50am From: dale

lol, thanks for the mention frank! got to go to work. take care everyone, be safe!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:51am From: Toronto Jim

Hire some overseas Korean animators to do the Statdler-Waldorff puppets virtually, and pay him less than minimum wage!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:51am From: Brian Jude

Has anyone noticed on things like Facebook that high school kids are spelling words with extra letters, eg :The Ramplerrrrr." What the heck is that about?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:51am From: Sarje

Ta-ra, dale!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:53am From: Toronto Jim

Brian: U R NutZ. No xtra ltrs 4ever! LOL OMG LMFAOOTF KQBRUCFFXPWQYU!

Sat. 8/1/09 4:54am From: Sarje

Yeah Brian, I think it's meant to express excitement or interest, but not really sure.

Another thing that annoys me is the spelling "definAtely" instead of "definitely." No idea where that one came from.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:56am From: Brian Jude

Copied from an actual FB post: "OMGGG BRITTANY! i missssss uuuuu and hahahahahha woow i totaly forgott about that,omgg i miss those fun ass times we had. i misss u sooo muchhh we have to get together like asap! love youu girllllyyy"

Sat. 8/1/09 4:57am From: Joshua K

Personal urns are a new and exciting way to memorialize your loved one.
Now we can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one or favorite Celebrity.
New advances in facial reconstruction and 3D printing have made it possible to have an urn made in the image of anyone from just a photograph.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:58am From: Toronto Jim

There's a rule (whose name I can't recall) that says: Anytime (as in a graffito, say) there is a spelling or grammar error, someone will add a correction, and the correction will ALWAYS have an error of its own!

(Like when guys on the internet accuse others of being illiterate, and they say things like "at least I can RITE a SENTANCE"... blah blah blah

Sat. 8/1/09 4:59am From: peetyL

I have my own things too, though. For example, I always write "your" as "yr" (mainly because I'm a Sonic Youth fan), and using zeroes for "o"s because that's just a weird thing I do...

Sat. 8/1/09 4:59am From: Sarje

Brian: actually, I think that's just laziness and...nope, that's it.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:00am From: Toronto Jim

The mustachioed old fogeys amongst us admonish you:

STOP using "yr"!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:01am From: Joshua K

peetyL: I do love me some Sonic Youth...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:02am From: peetyL

Sorry old fogeys: I will continue to use "yr". Yet I hate when people use "ur" for "your" because it's just WRONG

Sat. 8/1/09 5:03am From: peetyL

"Yr" a Sonic Youth fan, too, Sarje? Ha ha, just kidding...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:04am From: tramshed

I tried to call, it didnt work, but thats cool, your show sounds delicious. Im baked,

Sat. 8/1/09 5:04am From: Toronto Jim

Truth is, Peety, that "yr" BOTH wrong.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:04am From: Brian Jude

"yr" is usually an abbreviation for "year."

Sat. 8/1/09 5:04am From: Sarje

LOL @ Brian's link...leave it to Wisconsonites....I'm in MN, so I have an allowance to make fun of their stupidity.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:05am From: Toronto Jim

Hey, someone else is baked here! I thought I was alone in that state, and that everybody else was just drunk.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:05am From: peetyL

No, Brian Jude, that's "yr." with a "."

Sat. 8/1/09 5:06am From: Sarje

peetyL: Yep, I am not a HUGE fan, but I like their sound a lot.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:07am From: Sarje

Damn, and I thought I covered my drunken state so well.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:07am From: peetyL

About the Wisconsin sign link: it would've been REALLY tragic if the NUMBERS were switched around too...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:07am From: tramshed

drunk and baked, whiskey and dank ftw.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:11am From: YannickJoker

Spin it on!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:16am From: YannickJoker

Never heard of it, but obviously that's quite logical.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:17am From: Sarje

I've found that it's often impossible to interpret the words to songs (even in English) if the singer is really GOOD...just a weird thing about how I hear or the nature of singing I guess.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:21am From: peetyL

Sarje: I have that problem too. Always have. I'm glad when albums have liner notes with all the lyrics, and also how one can find lyrics to any song on the Internet: life savers!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:22am From: Sarje

Sorry Frank, I gotta get to sleep! Hope the show ends well. (Loved the song.)

Sat. 8/1/09 5:22am From: YannickJoker

I must admit, it's pretty catchy. It has a certain haunting quality to it.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:23am From: peetyL

Pinball Time!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:23am From: peetyL

Fra Diavolo was nice, but it's no Gasoline Gus...

Don't have a cow man, play some Simpsons pinball

Sat. 8/1/09 5:24am From: Sarje

Agreed peetyL, I search lyrics a lot! :)

Oh man, Pinball?! Maybe I can stick it out.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:25am From: peetyL

Goodnight, Sarje. Hope you have a nice sleep, or sleep's.

I saw a doc on Gilligan's Island but haven't seen the actual show.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:26am From: Sarje

Okay Frank, you talked me into it, I'm staying awake to the end of the show :)

Sat. 8/1/09 5:26am From: peetyL

Alright, Sarje! You can't miss the Pinbally Fun!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:27am From: peetyL

Gilligan's Island is LEGENDARY.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:27am From: Sarje

greetings from an american now living in Italy. thanks for bringing back great memories! Frank: r u from NY metro area? if yes, you must remember Channel 5 after school-- i always ran home to see Gilligan! also, WPIX: playing video game over the phone saying "Pix" when you wanted to shoot

Sat. 8/1/09 5:31am From: YannickJoker

They did make a few tv-movies.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:31am From: peetyL

Alan Hale Jr. (who played the Skipper) died in 1990, so it was probably dialogue from the show...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:31am From: Toronto Jim

I love the Gilligan episode where the Mosquitoes are stranded there. Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Irving! They sang a couple great songs -- "He's a Loser" was superb! Plus, the "girls" of the island sang "You Need Me!" (Later covered by the Nip Drivers!)

Sat. 8/1/09 5:32am From: peetyL

"The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island".

Sat. 8/1/09 5:32am From: Joshua K

I like how it makes the coin noise

Oh no! I missed is...sorry Frank! Try Gorgar?

Sat. 8/1/09 5:37am From: Sarje

Or "Taxi"?

Sat. 8/1/09 5:38am From: Sarje

(missed it*, that is, not "is")

Sat. 8/1/09 5:39am From: YannickJoker

Haha, imagine people just coming in and listening 'what the **** is that??'.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:40am From: Sarje

Yeah! GOR-GAR!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:42am From: Sarje

That heartbeat always gets me in Gorgar.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:43am From: Toronto Jim

There's a huge garden of tulips (not lilies) in Ottawa at parliament Hill. The bulbs are a yearly gift from the Netherlands, in honour of the Canadian Army's liberation of Holland in WW2, and for our sheltering of the Dutch Royal Family in exile then. Queen Beatrix's sister Margaret (or some such) was born in Ottawa while they were exiled -- the operating room was declared Dutch territory for a few hours so she could be fully "legitimate."

Sat. 8/1/09 5:44am From: peetyL

Do Music Man pinball next! "There's trouble...right here in River City...with a capital 'T,' that rhymes with 'P,' and that stands for pool."

Sat. 8/1/09 5:45am From: tramshed

good sir, I Heard the windows fail noise.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:46am From: peetyL

Yeah, it's on ipdb.org, that's where I found it...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:47am From: Sarje

tramshed: what're you talking about? We only hear that sound when he's doing EVERYTHING right.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:49am From: peetyL

Yeah, the Music Man pinball was released on August 1, 1960, actually! 49 years ago today! Do you have one that old?

Sat. 8/1/09 5:49am From: Joshua K

This game sounds awesome. Needs a remix.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:50am From: peetyL

the sounds are just EFFING AMAZING, Frank...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:51am From: peetyL

That's all you played, Frank. Just those 4...

Sat. 8/1/09 5:52am From: Toronto Jim

Nytol.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:52am From: Becky

Does the video get archived? I slept through the show.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:53am From: Sarje

Well thanks guys! This has been great!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:53am From: YannickJoker

You were great again today Frank! Love you! You're the best!

Sat. 8/1/09 5:54am From: Sarje

Becky, not sure about video, but the audio will be available for download.

Thank you, Frank. Awesome as always! See you next week...

Goodnight, all. And goodnight Sarje. Have pleasant dream's! Ha ha

Fri. 8/7/09 12:14pm From: Ike

Hey FEN, I noticed you mentioned Tolley-Brown during the first hour. I was in Holloway circa 1993 but I had friends in Tolley-Brown... did you have a show at the radio station in Tolley-Brown's basement? Was it WMNJ-FM ("10 watts of throbbing music power") or was it still WERD back then? WFMU's Stork was there around '79-'80ish (?) when it was WERD (carrier current AM).

Fri. 8/7/09 1:29pm From: Rampler

Yeah I had a show on WMNJ FM in the Tolley basement from 1986 to 1988.
