Listener comments!

  3:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

If it is so serious, then why is it "playing" God? Like you get home from school, do some homework, play God, then come in for dinner...
  3:03pm
Katya:

Yes, yes, yes, you can!
  3:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Lee Morgan always can! And shall!
  3:04pm
Wondering:

That is probably far and away the least cheescakey image on that whole Girls and Records tumblr site. Interesting selection...
  3:05pm
Katya:

Unless you have a shoe fetish
  3:05pm
BDR:

Alex Chilton's birthday today (would have been 61) if that brings any song to your head.
  3:05pm
Wondering:

or a cheap painted furniture fetish
  3:06pm
kat330:

@Matt: I've been wondering (and, no, not the dude above) which Springfield are you from? MA or IL?
  3:07pm
Wondering:

add that to the show FAQ. along with benevento bed music queries, etc.
  3:07pm
Katya:

"Man is certainly stark mad: he cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen." --Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
  3:08pm
Dan B From Upstate:

There are more than 50 Springfields in the United States.
  3:08pm
Homer S.:

he lives down the street from me, as a matter of fact
  3:09pm
kat330:

Wow, states with more than one each.
  3:09pm
Homer S.:

he's the wacky neighbor we never wanted to write into the show
  3:09pm
Dan B From Upstate:

If I had to guess, Matt From Springfield is indeed Matt Groening, an admitted FMU fan.
  3:09pm
kat330:

D'oh!
  3:10pm
Katya:

Not sure I have the stomach for this episode after the Christmas and Hanukkah barrage.
  3:11pm
Matt from Springfield:

Guys! The jig is up! I was trying to blend in surreptitiously, with a little *hint*--after all, I was from Eugene, Oregon, not nearby Springfield. Would you deny me a little bit of commenting pleasure?!
  3:11pm
Katya:

Matt is the best part of Irwin's playlist comments.
  3:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: How sweet! :)
@Dan B: And incidentally, if there isn't a Springfield in every state, I need to ensure there IS one! And something named Springfield in every county too!
  3:13pm
Katya:

Even when I don't participate, I find Matt keeps me grinning.
  3:14pm
Field:

I'm very springy
  3:14pm
das:

Matt is like a warm handshake on a cool winters eve.
  3:15pm
Matt from Springfield:

@kat330: Quite a flurry of comments in the opening here, just noticed your comment at the top that started it all!

Virginia. Outside of Washington DC.
  3:16pm
Matt from Springfield:

@das: Not only that, since it's also a very windy winter day, I'll also give you a warm grip to hang on to! (While supplies last.)
  3:16pm
kat330:

Ah, that one I don't know about. I'm still trying to figure out how mail isn't messed up with two Springfield's in a state.
  3:17pm
As a Matter of Fact:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield,_Virginia

Fairfax County, a DC suburb
  3:17pm
T-Zero:

Irwin, channeling the cat in the hat today?
  3:17pm
Katya:

T-Zero, possibly Romper Room?
  3:18pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: It's the culture of Irwin's board--it always was crazy, clever and anarchic--and I found it a perfect fit! :)
  3:18pm
kat330:

I figured this is how Irwin sounds when he doesn't have a cold.
  3:19pm
Close Listener:

GMYL = "Give me your love."
  3:20pm
Dan B From Upstate:

@kat: Zip codes! (In hindsight, I may be wrong. It's something a teacher told me in school. Teachers do seem to like teaching fake facts. I could cover my bee-hind and say I was including people named springfield.)
  3:20pm
Katya:

So "playing God" and "God Makes You Live" are not the core theme for this episode? Phew!
  3:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

Or else Irwin sounds like "normal" when he does have a cold, and his usual voice is that low, growly voice he sometimes pulls out while back-announcing.
  3:22pm
kat330:

@Dan: Maybe there's a Springfield in Puerto Rico and Guam.
  3:22pm
Katya:

Falling in love with Ivy
  3:22pm
T-Zero:

Katya: Ya'know... I don't think I've ever seen Romper Room
  3:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

Top Non-Superhuman Happiness result for "GMYL" in Google: "Gökşen Mustafa Yücel Lisesi". A Turkish high school ("lyceum"?) apparently.
  3:22pm
other david:

what on earth happened to the right foot of that lady
  3:23pm
jonathan:

hell yeah!! tinker taylor
  3:24pm
kat330:

A relative newbie here, I appreciate the change in Irwin. Or like a tag I wrote several years ago: So he says to the shapeshifter waitress, "Keep the change."
  3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

Terry Reid--always a gush of awesomeness.
  3:25pm
T-Zero:

@OD: In a bizzare office accident, falling drawer severs woman's toes...
  3:27pm
λɯəɹəɾ:

i really liked that Ivy track.
  3:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

This is the best Pistol Annies song played on the show to date!
  3:28pm
ExchangePlaceDrifter:

"fangers"!
  3:29pm
kat330:

Sure captures a slice of life around these Indy-yucky parts.
  3:31pm
kat330:

River songs: Styx in your throat.
  3:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

These Camp Akiba tracks are the gift that keeps on giving!
  3:31pm
Pianist:

That is one classic-ass upright there
  3:32pm
ExchangePlaceDrifter:

Sam Sacks is turning in his grave right now.
  3:33pm
kat330:

Was Lucy formerly Luca?
  3:33pm
Not Quite Au Courant:

Didn't Lucy just make a duets album with Metallica?
  3:35pm
Matt from Springfield:

Horrible Hybrid Tulips!!!
  3:36pm
Jennique:

I was wondering when Amanda would show up.
  3:36pm
josh:

go Amanda! Spring's almost here!
  3:36pm
Lou Reed:

Amanda would have been a better fit.
  3:36pm
Laura L:

Thanks for the Amanda, Irwin--we just turned it up!
  3:37pm
das:

For reference, when trying to convert new Amanda fans this might not be the best introduction
  3:37pm
Irwin:

Hey, LL, say howdy to PEL.
  3:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

@das: Although once a fan, "Bye Horrible Hybrid Tulips, hope you have a nice death!" is a nice tidbit in the catalogue!
  3:41pm
Lou Reed:

The whole family's here for the holidays.
  3:44pm
kat330:

Yeah, you could reed a whole lot into Irwin's playlist so far.
  3:45pm
das:

@Matt, that's what converted me in the first place
  3:45pm
Lou Reed:

Somehow I'm missing, though. Gee, wonder why.
  3:46pm
das:

Did you bring your pointy guitar?
  3:49pm
kat330:

Another tag o' mine for Irwin's reediness: Freudian slips: The underwear of ideas.
  3:49pm
Lou Reed:

It felt more like a wedgie, actually.
  3:53pm
Katya:

Should start a music salon at Oddio Headquarters (but Mykel Board should not come).
  3:53pm
kat330:

Yes!!! Thank you, Irwin!!
  3:54pm
Katya:

I'm exhausted from always being the odd man out. Why I love FMU as I do!
  3:54pm
Mike East:

Overheard at a show last week by a friend/coworker: "Hey man, its not Metallica's fault that Lou Reed's Asian friend flipped you off"
  3:54pm
kat330:

Now she's a very different, wonderful slice of Indy-Yucky.
  3:55pm
kat330:

Perhaps an ambidextrous man could fix it?
  3:55pm
The Brass Rai:

Did you guys ever meet at my place Irwin?
  3:57pm
The Brass Rail:

Rail.
  3:57pm
kat330:

"St. Theresa" is another great one to Relish.
  3:57pm
Katya:

What if god was one of us... ugh. Oddio Headquarters music salons will steer clear of religion, politics, or finance.
  3:57pm
Obvious Guy:

If her right hand is really so good, the man is superfluous
  3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

Interesting history there--evidently Joan was already in NYC and recording in the early 90s, but wasn't a runaway hit until '95.
  3:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

And salons are fun--I had two groups of friends from high school and college, where we often talked over "intellectual fora/salons/symposiums".
  3:59pm
G:

or symposia, if we're going for fancy
  3:59pm
Katya:

Matt, I was usually the lone scientist among artists. Fun and frustrating!
  4:00pm
Noel:

Shit sounds like Oasis.
  4:01pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: Then how will we gang up, everyone against one person? ;)

One tragedy of modern life is the de-coupling of arts and sciences--those practicing one should have at least some background in the other. At least as a geographer I get a healthy dose of both!
  4:03pm
Matt from Springfield:

Katya @3:57, that is.

@G: True, same rule as forum/fora. For some reason I skipped the one at the end. I intentionally misuse certain plurals when the actual one would just confuse "laymen"!
  4:04pm
Katya:

Seems we are too poor a nation to educate well-rounded citizens.

Oddio is about inclusion, not exclusion. :D Hosted a dinner party last week and it ended up all chicks against this chick here.
  4:04pm
Matt from Springfield:

Weird Noise indeed! This is something I would expect more on BTs show than Irwin.
  4:05pm
Matt from Springfield:

KENNY G DUETS!!!
  4:05pm
G:

Alternate title: "I've Had the Yowl of My Life"
  4:06pm
suea:

i own this album
  4:06pm
Alison Porchnik:

This track is my signal to stop listening and go home.
  4:06pm
Jennique:

Patrick Swayze is rolling in his grave.
  4:06pm
Katya:

Tastes of hoof in mouth. Beautifully done.
  4:08pm
earwax:

Please bring back Lou reed and Metallica
  4:08pm
das:

Never realized how long this song was!
  4:09pm
λɯəɹəɾ:

OK OK I'M AWAKE
  4:09pm
Katya:

das, you have some of the bravest ears ever. Know you are up to the challenge. [das of Big City Orchestra, right?]
  4:11pm
das:

Bring it on, I sat through STYX on the Mr Roboto tour
  4:12pm
λɯəɹəɾ:

I have a secret.
  4:13pm
Carmichael:

"sat" is the operative word, das.

Irwin, thanks for the picture of the studio. Is that Liz Berg?
  4:14pm
?:

Now play the scott weiland xmas album
  4:14pm
Irwin:

@Carm: I also see a slight resemblance to Liz Bug.
  4:15pm
AnAnonymousParty:

2nd album huh. Whoda thunk?
  4:16pm
Carmichael:

Irwin, I will pay you money to NOT play the Dylan Xmas album.
  4:16pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

if only someone had enough money to convince Dylan not to put it out in the first place
  4:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

Robyn! This one is new to me.
@Irwin: How bout at Marathon time, you threaten to play various grating songs UNLESS you meet a certain pledge goal in the next _ minutes?
  4:18pm
Katya:

Robyn's mean to name dropping lewzer trash. Wish I had as much nerve.
  4:19pm
Mike East:

@Matt - i seem to remember some DJ's doing that a few years ago - playing Jason Mraz songs if no one was calling.
  4:19pm
the glowing one:

@Carmichael: that's easy money for Irwin.
  4:20pm
Head East:

Flat As A Pancake
  4:20pm
The Board:

OH SNAP
  4:21pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Mike: Cool, I wish I could hear a marathon show like that!
  4:21pm
Eastman Kodiak:

Ever play anything from Linda McCartney's solo LP?
  4:21pm
Katya:

Would think that would be HARD money for Irwin, as we are junkies for the stuff. Torture tapes? Just try us.
  4:22pm
kat330:

@Matt: Fatal flaw of that is people would turn the "dial" elsewhere.
  4:22pm
Katya:

Hell, Amanda has become a sort of mascot, right?
  4:23pm
The Board:

AMANDA SOUNDS BAD? WHATTTT????????
  4:23pm
the glowing one:

I find that sweet DJ doll '53 picture really irritating the more often I look at it. because I just want to give her a hug, but I know I can't.
  4:23pm
Carmichael:

Where's Amanda's Xmas album?!?
  4:24pm
Matt from Springfield:

Cookie Santa!!
  4:24pm
G:

Irwin just bought his Jandek collection back on ebay.
  4:24pm
Katya:

What's the bed playing here?
  4:25pm
DJ Doll 53:

Whut kind gurl you tink I em?
  4:25pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I love the fact that she's sitting on a kitchen chair...I guess they hadn't invented the "studio" swivel chair yet
  4:26pm
Katya:

A grandmother, doll. ;)
  4:26pm
Brian Carl Dennis:

Woodrow Wilson would have been 132 today.
  4:27pm
Internal Revenue:

But I'll *never* die. One million words of tax code and counting
  4:27pm
chris:

I'm afraid of her antennae.
  4:28pm
Internal Revenue:

Ten million, sorry. One million would be for pikers
  4:28pm
the glowing one:

she's got an "antenna"? oh bummer!
  4:28pm
Katya:

Irwin, what was that bed?
  4:29pm
Antennae:

She's broadcasting on an eastern bloc numbers station
  4:30pm
Irwin:

@Katya: "The Clockwork Lighthouse" by Pram
  4:30pm
listener line:

Play Midnight Oil's Beds Are Burning at the same time as this.
  4:30pm
Hydrox Junkie:

That antenna looks like the Nabisco™ logo.
  4:30pm
chris:

Irwin, does Chris Isaak seriously count as contemporary country? I find that surprising: there's a distinct lack of twang and steel guitar.
  4:31pm
Katya:

Thanks!
  4:31pm
Caryn:

I'm just trying to make out what that figurine on top of the console is...
  4:31pm
Walkin' Lawton Chiles:

That Midnight Oil guy is now the Governor of Florida.
  4:33pm
the glowing one:

it's a ship?
  4:33pm
Conqueror Wurm:

That figurine is a Hummel representation of Willem Defoe as an infant.
  4:36pm
Caryn:

It looks like an antropomorphised shoe or something. If that was an eastern bloc numbers station, that would be the weirdest bust of Stalin ever.
  4:37pm
the glowing one:

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, ISABELLA!!!
  4:37pm
Bad Lullabye Contest Judges:

Look like we have a winner!
  4:37pm
Rex Smith:

I suddenly miss John Davidson.
  4:37pm
chris:

is that the Seinfeld theme remixed behind the creepy lyrics?
  4:37pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yawn, this bad lullaby was putting me to sleep...
  4:38pm
Caryn:

I'm not sleeping because you're singing right next to my ear like a killer kid in a horror movie!
  4:38pm
Neil Young:

I almost cut my hair.
  4:38pm
other david:

Lothar!
Hand People!
  4:39pm
kat330:

Back to the pic: Even if her chair isn't on rollers, I like how the whole console can be wheeled away.
  4:39pm
Caryn:

Are we getting ready for a block of songs all in question form?
  4:39pm
David Crosby:

Huh? I thought I almost cut my hair...where am I?
If only I could remember my name.
  4:39pm
Delilah:

Oh, I'll cut your hair.
  4:39pm
Katya:

American Lung Association® Christmas Seals® logo weirder than the booty thingy?
  4:39pm
the glowing one:

that song is not a satire, btw. it's for real
  4:39pm
Turtle Man:

I need some Live action!
  4:40pm
Matt from Springfield:

@OD: I like Lothar & The Hand People too whenever FMU plays them.
  4:40pm
Chicago:

@Caryn: Does anybody really know?
  4:40pm
Katya:

(almost spit coffee, Delilah -- thanks for giggle!)
  4:40pm
Chicago:

25, or 6 to 4
  4:41pm
History Channel:

The Cross of Lorraine means she's a Radio Crusader. Crusadio!
  4:41pm
Matt from Springfield:

Yay! Everyone, let's go skating at the public ice rink in Toledo, Ohio in the 70s!!
  4:41pm
Thomas Baldwin:

Wow, Charlie Rangel can sing and play the Kimball!
  4:41pm
chris:

So this is what happens at the ballpark/rink after the lights go out?
  4:42pm
other david:

@Matt: Machines is a particular favourite :)
  4:42pm
Katya:

This gang always makes me laugh. Whoever you are, I long to be close to you and Irwin. :D
  4:42pm
Caryn:

Did he just say "apple dust" instead of "moon dust"?
  4:42pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Suddenly I feel like going skating.
  4:42pm
Heaven:

Angel? You can have him, Satan.
  4:42pm
Carmichael:

The figurine is an overstuffed chair with a dust ruffle. It looks like a teddy bear or something similar pushed off to one side, as if someone could sit down and hold it.
  4:43pm
other david:

Oh my...
  4:43pm
T & A Channel:

Is Charles Angel braless?
  4:43pm
Carmichael:

I don't know what he said, but he's on angel dust.
  4:44pm
Gould:

Chris Eliott's old man.
  4:44pm
Caryn:

That guy sounds like Tom Bosley talking about splashing. The secret life of Mr. C...
  4:45pm
Carrie Bradshaw:

So, he's the guy!
  4:45pm
chris:

Did Bob and Ray do the: " I can't tell when you're telling me the truth."
- I'm not.
"How do I know anything you've told me is..."
- You don't.
  4:45pm
Katya:

"Katya, we have found that your production levels seem to drop off every Wednesday afternoon." @Gould, and Abby Elliott's granddad
  4:46pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

@ chris, no, that's on a Zappa record
  4:46pm
Dead Corporate Eyes:

correction, a Mothers record
  4:47pm
Irwin:

"Is Charles Angel braless?" LSHICUP (laughing so hard I coughed up blood)
  4:47pm
the glowing one:

yo la tengo is one of those bands that is instantly recognisable, even if you don't know the song
  4:47pm
More Birthdays Today:

Denzel Washington - Edgar WInter - Martin Milner - Earl "Fatha" Hines

Dead Corporate Eyes:

you should get that looked at, Irwin

Thanks, DCE
  4:48pm
Caryn:

Charles Angel is going completely commando, but he does have on a lovely pink lace teddy.
  4:49pm
Katya:

Wish I was somewhere near. It's real.
  4:49pm

I can hear this segueing into Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and the Shondells

Charley Weaver is 106 today. And he NEVER got the center square.
  4:50pm
Interesting factlet:

During a time when the “doctrine of signatures” was popular (the principle being that plants resembling organs and body parts could aid in healing those organs or body parts), the walnut was known to the Greeks as karyon, or “head” (you can guess why). The Romans, however, thought the nut looked more like testicles, and called walunts the “glands of Jupiter.” Eventually this lead to its scientific name, Juglans regia, literally, “royal nut of Jupiter.”

Charles Nelson Reilly to block.

My next album will be called Royal Nut of Jupiter.

AnAnonymousParty:

"Say kids, here's a groovy new tune called 'Inna-gadda-da-vida'". Then she shuts the drawer and the tonearm skips across the record and gets locked in the lead-out groove for twenty minutes while she goes across the street for a coffee. DJ-n is hard.
  4:53pm
Waif:

This has a Mazzy Starr vibe.
  4:54pm
Caryn:

I actually imagine her talking into the mike like Ernestine, the telephone switchboard...
  4:55pm
Carmichael:

Judging by the mic and gear, she appears to be trying to contact Zontar on Alpha Centauri.
  4:55pm
Billy DeWolfe:

Picky. picky, picky.
  4:55pm
the Mike:

please don't talk with your mouth full
  4:57pm
Carmichael:

That song was sleepier than anything the Cowboy Junkies ever did.
  4:57pm
Gourmet:

Did you pick all the visible crud off it first?
  4:58pm
Matt from Springfield:

A 3 Day Rule, but you must brush any insects and animals off it first. Unless, they've been dead or not moving on the piece of food for 3 days.

@Carmichael, that's no Interocitor, she'll be lucky to get 'Real Gas Music From Jupiter' on that rig.

Gourmet:

Yo La Tangy
  5:00pm
Caryn:

I can't decide if the Cross of Lorraine means she's
a) a character in another Dan Brown novel involving Jesuits and the Knights Templar
b) working for a Vatican radio station, or
c) actually working for a satanist radio station and showing her appreciation for Boyd Rice

Carmichael:

Anonymous, you're not Irish, are ye?
  5:01pm
the glowing one:

this is a sad song
  5:01pm
Noel:

Anything is more entertaining than those twats...except maybe night people.
  5:02pm
Katya:

He's playing god with this one.
  5:02pm
Carmichael:

Irwin, you spelled "Thelonius" wrong.
  5:03pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Irish? I wish! Although my Grandfather was a Gulley.
  5:03pm
Caryn:

Considering the title of this song, choices a and b are looking more likely. If Irwin turns out to be part of the Jesuit/Templar conspiracy, I just hope I don't turn out to be one of the suckers who get killed early on because we stumbled upon the whole thing.
  5:04pm
AnAnonymousParty:

Oh no, Close to the Edge!

Wow, that was sad, and beautiful.

Ten years have got behind you

those sad songs silenced the chat
  5:13pm
Matt from Springfield:

@glowing one: That and the inevitable commute home. Gets quietey around 5.
  5:15pm
kat330:

Interesting but I still prefer the Band's original.
  5:17pm
Matt from Springfield:

Lane never ceases to amaze me--he's probably done hundreds of great covers and originals.
@Irwin: Does he sell these albums off a website or anything?
  5:18pm

all them hard times are coming back to me - like long lost memories resurfacing - my soul feels like potato peel - in a potato ship factory - so sad - song make me feel like alive - human being with emotion

AnAnonymousParty:

Yeah, we're not supposed to text and drive anymore. Stupid 'do-gooders'. Now there's seat belt laws. What's next? No more cup holder for my 40oz?
  5:21pm
Syd:

They outlawed acid while driving, too. Bastards.
  5:21pm
Katya:

"Tears of Rage" still sounds like a pedophile wanting to have at his daughter. Creepy.
  5:22pm
Matt from Springfield:

@AAP: What?? But a 40 bottle is perfect! Sure, it'll make you piss, but also provides an "outlet" for the piss! My seat belt was already making it hard to do that while zooming on the highway...
  5:22pm
Caryn:

Luckily, NyQuil while driving is still legal. Just ignore the warnings on the side of the bottle...
  5:23pm
Katya:

Yay! "That summer feeling is gonna fly. Always try and keep the feeling inside"
  5:23pm
Matt from Springfield:

WOOOO!!! SPINAL TAP!!
Not as funny as "Big Bottom" though:
"The bigger the cushion / The sweeter the pushin' " !!!
  5:23pm

Hello, Cleveland!

This was huge in Japan.

This reminds me: Anyone here know where Shearer's "Le Show" is from this past Sunday 12.25? Didn't think he ever took time off from it, but can't find it anywhere.
  5:25pm
Katya:

Caryn, I was about to say that New Jersey isn't so bad. You all are welcome out here in the land of sunshine. It's 68F right now. (But cold as hell at night)
  5:26pm
Katya:

46+ inches of snow on the mountain out front now though, so snowboarding is great!
  5:28pm
Listening Out There:

Ah. Fang was my favorite Raider...
  5:28pm
Matt from Springfield:

@Katya: Wow--assuming you're at a ski slope right now? Or else really high up, where 46"+ can accumulate and stay.
  5:29pm
Caryn:

@Katya: sounds nice. It's been strangely snowless here and temperatures around 0 (they tend to be closer to -20-35 around this time), but the storms causing power and water outages make up for any comfort we feel due to the unusually warm temperatures...
  5:29pm
Satan's Minions:

We make every endeavor to keep Hell at a pleasing temperature. Thank You.
  5:30pm
Donovan:

First there is a mountin, then there is no mountin ...
  5:30pm
Shivering:

I'm snow bored
  5:30pm
Katya:

Minions, the sauna's drafty and the pool is too hot
  5:31pm
Matt from Springfield:

Tee hee, look at the home page schedule, take it together with Irwin's hints here!
  5:31pm
Heat Miser:

Sizzle!
  5:32pm
Katya:

If Donovan would enjoy mountin 46+ inches...
  5:32pm
Matt from Springfield:

Shit, behaving really horribly today!!
  5:33pm
G:

What, no "Raspberry Beret"?
  5:33pm
Charles Angel:

I could do this.
  5:33pm
Caryn:

It sounds like someone singing "1999" while their kid plays on their Atari in the background.
  5:34pm
G:

You and your moobs, Ange
  5:34pm
Matt from Springfield:

They're calculating the anticipated royalties from this record with those adding machines.
  5:34pm
G:

Shake your moneymakers
  5:34pm
Sears:

Wish we could party like it's $19.99.
  5:36pm
Carmichael:

Damn, my work just went ballistic and I end up missing Spinal Tap.

No wonder Kenny G's not on the radio anymore. Irwin, you weaseled yourself away from this trainwreck slicker than Ed Barbero.
  5:36pm
Kmart:

That's our department.
  5:37pm
Sears:

@Kmart: I own your ass.
  5:37pm
Matt from Springfield:

A "1/2 Way Street" would be cool--people from either end of the street can move in their preferred direction--but only to the middle of the block, where they both stop!
  5:38pm
Garth:

No 1/2 way!
  5:38pm
Sears Holding Group:

We're almost to Walmart. Do I need to stop this car and come back there?
  5:39pm
Wayne:

!/2 way!
  5:39pm
Hank Snow:

But going 90 miles per hour down a half way street doesn't work.

Stop scrapin' the scab off my healin' heart, honey...

Man, you nuts make me laugh every time. Thanks for Wednesdays.
  5:43pm
Caryn:

They just showed an ad on tv about an "hour-long edition of a historic 5-hour live show from the 1950s". Dudes, if the original 5-hour one was so frigging historic, how about you show the whole thing? Dammit.
  5:44pm
The NRA:

We love this band.
  5:45pm
Caryn:

Yeah, it's awkward when you first fall in love like falling into a hunter's trap pit, and then get all tangled up in the love down there like in some damn net...
  5:45pm
The Gun Club:

But,............. I though that you said we had something special?
  5:46pm
NRA:

Shoot, this is a blast
  5:47pm
Caryn:

Oh chill out, Gun Club, the Rifles are just some phallic booty call material. You're still relationship fodder.
  5:47pm
Therapist:

what's more than love?
  5:47pm
The Gun Club:

I don't even know who you are anymore. Did you ever love me?
  5:47pm
Irwin:

Oxford comma.
  5:48pm
Katya:

Always willing, always a-waiting

Jeffrey Lee Pierce:

Irwin, no weekend twinks here. Just celibate rifles.
  5:49pm
The Gun Club:

I'm going to my Mother's. Don't be here when I get back.

These guys sound like Del Amitri.
  5:49pm

  5:49pm
Sex Pistols:

The NRA always was a fickle lot.
  5:49pm
Caryn:

Yeah, that shade of blue was always the runt of the litter, jostled aside while the bigger hues (like electric blue and navy) took all the food.
  5:50pm
kat330:

@Therapist: Better question: Whats the weakest shade of blue? Robin's Egg?
  5:50pm
Katya:

Mindblowing sex, therapist. You know, like Gun Club used to have
  5:50pm
Pantone 292:

*I'm* the big deal.
  5:51pm
B-52s:

Oh, c'mon over here, Gun Clug, they say we got da bomb.
  5:51pm
Therapist:

That requires work on both sides, katya. And good help is so hard to find these days.
  5:52pm
Caryn:

Am I the only one who thinks the NRA/Gun Club break-up will end in a nasty shooting incident? Possibly a murder-suicide thing?
  5:52pm
Matt from Springfield:

I can imagine a Jim Henson Beatnik-Muppet giving a lesson here.
  5:52pm
The Gun Club:

Better yet, i hear the Sons of Anarchy are looking for a new old lady.
  5:52pm
Carmichael:

Whichever side the post office is on is gonna win. No brainer.
  5:53pm
kat330:

Not with an ambidextrous man (to bring this 'round full circle).

You clever people are such a happy distraction. But god keeps playing these love songs, so I'm falling for you, despite the gun play.

Virginia Tech:

Ya think, Caryn?
  5:53pm
Peter Fonda:

@kat330 Heavenly Blue, maaaaan.
  5:54pm
Carmichael:

Irwin, play the Only Song.
  5:55pm
Syd:

This dude is fucking nuts.
  5:55pm
Caryn:

And then the media will blame the whole incident on that darn rock music. After all, they were just listening to The Rifles...
  5:55pm
kat330:

Ah, my Easy Rider, my ambidextrous man....
  5:56pm
Katya:

you light me up like a lemon grove
  5:56pm
Michael Franks:

I gotta stop letting tape roll when I've been drinking.
  5:56pm
autumn:

cats like Neill
  5:56pm
Syd:

He's actually more of a hard rider. That usually works better, in the end.
  5:57pm
Carmichael:

That explains Popsicle Toes, Franks ...
  5:57pm
Anita Bryant:

I like the way Katya thinks.
  5:57pm

Comme ci, comme ca.

Comma see, comma saw.

Syd:

Visiting hours are almost over in the closed ward. Say your goodbyes and don't forget to take your belongings.
  5:59pm

Anita, give me a chance to turn your stance. I'm ambidextrous.

kat330:

Veni, vidi, vici, C.
  5:59pm
Young Peter Fonda:

I like see-saws.
  5:59pm
Anita:

Little known fact: OJ is a great lubricant.
  6:00pm
Carmichael:

Goodbye, Irwin and peeps. Veiny, VD, Vichy.
  6:00pm
Caryn:

I'll just stay here in the ward until you come see me again. What, Nurse? It's time for my medicine? Okey-dokey...
  6:00pm
Katya:

Thank you, Irwin and nutters! Happy New Year!
  6:00pm
