Hi Irwin! | |

Matt from Springfield:
Hold on Irwin, what frequency are you trying to telepath us on? The 91.1 signal is probably jamming that, and for the online listeners you need to consider the re-sample rate of our computers audio cards. | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 3:06pm

Is it coincidence or coordination that leads to that message showing up on two different signs in two different photos from different people on two FMU playlists on the same day? | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 3:06pm

Is it a drizzly, damp day up there in NJ? It is in the DC area, and I just love jazz for that kind of weather! | |

Dream Weaver-y song poem, hippyish and discoish and AM Pop-ish all at once. Btw, I think the writer means Fort Bragg, CA, not NC (in case anyone is wondering, which they probably aren't...) | |

where do you *get* this stuff, Irwin. (un)Holy marine biology! | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 3:38pm
Matt from Springfield:
Maybe that's why you need to start a Song-Poem company to preserve the art form, Irwin. Listeners can contribute backing tracks and you and another female DJ can provide vocals, translating each request into song-poem, as well as translating literary classics into song-poem form! | |
|

And to think at one time I might have wanted to be under the sea in a Octopus's garden. Now, maybe, not so much. | |

coincidentally, or perhaps by coordination, I was reading about "tentacle rape" as a fetish on the cracked.com website just minutes before Octopus Woman. | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 3:40pm
Matt from Springfield:
@glenn: I meant "another DJ who is female"! I guess it's hard to say without sounding clunky. "Irwin and DJette" maybe? | |

Matt from Springfield:
I know Pierre said he didn't get an Amanda CD, perhaps FMU could raise even more money by starting a bidding war between Pierre and that listener! One pays to destroy the CD, the other counteroffers to receive the CD! Of course anyone can pledge on the website and order that CD for $75, so at a certain point the concept would be destroyed... | |

Matt from Springfield:
@glenn: Interesting. I slash my sevens, and do other things borrowed from Europe to avoid ambiguity (1/7, 2/z, etc). But we always put the dollar sign in front of prices in the US. | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hey Pierre! Where do you write the Euro sign in prices? And did you write the Franc sign before or after the price? | |
|

always after my friend. | |

Hmm, I just got a company email saying the owners have 4 tickets for the U2 360 tour concert at Busch stadium on the 17th. Instead of a drawing, you have to sing your favorite U2 song before the assembled employees at lunch on Fri and the best judged performance wins the tickets. | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 4:02pm
Matt from Springfield:
To be precise, Belize is a "constitutional monarchy" because Elizabeth is still the head of state. As a Dominion (like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc) it's still part of the British system. So although Elizabeth has the title "Queen of Belize", she's represented by a Governor-General who exercises her limited constitutional functions there. | |

The important question, though, Matt: do they put the signs before or after the numbers in Belize? | |
|
Wed. 7/6/11 4:05pm
Matt from Springfield:
@DCE: That's a good one. Don't we Yanks usually put $ after friends! :) @Pierre: That's what I thought. In England they write the Pound sign before, and Americans also write it before. (Though Britons don't consider themselves part of "Europe"! I do, but I call it "the Continent" just to clarify which European culture.) | |
