Wed. 8/29/12 9:02am Cheri Pi:

water sports...Good Morning Ken-we hear you!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:03am bw:

GO KEN!!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:05am Dan B From Upstate:

Kinda hoping to hear "I'm On A Boat" at least once. But my heart isn't set on it.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:05am bw:

peeing in a bottle.. and you demonize dad.. just great

Wed. 8/29/12 9:07am revitte:

Ahoy Ken!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:07am Vicki:

I'm prepared to believe this is Caetano Veloso

Wed. 8/29/12 9:07am weiterso:

a boat has a bilge

Wed. 8/29/12 9:08am pierre:

UN KEN A LA MER !!!

Bonjour people of the WFMU seas !

Wed. 8/29/12 9:08am fudge:

Is there seamen on that boat?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:08am common:

are those your legs?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:09am Vicki:

I think you'll find that Ken's legs exist below the knee

Wed. 8/29/12 9:10am fudge:

Aaaargh, matey!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:10am Popeye:

Rum, sodomy and the lash!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:11am mark vt:

which knee, the right? Left? High or wee?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:13am f0f0 }:

Hi Ken! I was expecting you transmitting live from the waters of the beautiful Lake Minnatonka where you can hear the waves splashing and -if you listen closely- the flying fishes in the background (well, at least according to the Burp Concerto).

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am jan:

Ken-Do you have a life jacket and sunblock, or at least a hat,
long sleeves, and trousers? A radio personality is very vulnerable outside of the studio.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am Keith in VT:

This song changed my life. Really.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am Dave B:

If you say you don't know where it is, I'll nail your tits to the table!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am r i s k y:

Go Ken! Set Sails!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am DCE:

Ken is a bum bandit

Wed. 8/29/12 9:14am fudge:

Is captain from captain

Wed. 8/29/12 9:15am jeremy:

currently swimming in a lake of fire

Wed. 8/29/12 9:17am Billy Jam:

Hey Ken - am up and on board. Hope the weather and the signal etc. all stay in your favor.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:17am Marmalade kitty:

Ahhh..nice bit of Swan lake

Wed. 8/29/12 9:18am Quint:

Farewell and adieu, to you fair Spanish ladies...

Wed. 8/29/12 9:18am Thatan, Printh of Darkneth:

This ith fruthtrating! I'm trying to cood hot dogth in a fire of lake.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:18am Cheri Pi:

yeah!!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:19am Thatan, Printh of Darkneth:

Did I thay cood? I meant cook!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:19am AnAnonymousParty:

OK, that was weird, I turned this on and Winamp popped up a second instance over the one that was already playing "You dropped a bomb on me", and it didn't even dawn on me that maybe I had two things going at the same time.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:20am tim from champaign:

Have you tried the poop deck yet, Ken?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:20am bw:

what number do you want folks to call?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:20am Robert:

I've been a customer at the Rite Aid in Newton, when I packed the wrong pills to stay a few days at my friends' in Hampton Twp. My friend Ed now in the nursing home in Newton might've had a sissy bottle to spare if I'd known; he was used to such expedients from years of living in a car in the past.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:21am Aaron in Jcity:

are you near the swamp

Wed. 8/29/12 9:21am Rear Admiral:

Up y'oars!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:22am f0f0 }:

Billy Jam and Ken! You mighty radio dj globetrotters! I can't wait to see in your playlists pages:

Today's Programme: Live from Mare Sirenum (Mars) transmitting live from Curiosity III. March 17th 2017

At least that would make for a great stunt for the marathon.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:23am dale:

oooh, you're an hour away - would we need a boat to meet you?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:23am Landlubber:

Listeners should actually swim (or float or drift) on by for the meet-up, shouldn't they?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:23am Caryn:

Hello all! Finally back by my radio after a few weeks. Maybe the nice lake breeze will cool the 103 degree fever I picked up on my holiday.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:24am still b/p:

Ah, the Ken-Tiki expedition, to demonstrate that the peoples of Bear Swamp could have had contact with ancient Jerseyites.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:26am Aaron in Jcity:

bailers and pumps are on our dock should you need

Wed. 8/29/12 9:26am Parq:

Vicki's bemused giggle proves what I've always known; women just love it when you mention urination.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:27am fred von helsing:

Jeez you're way the hell up there.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:27am Dan B From Upstate:

Okay... I'm hoping to hear Augas De Marco today, too...

Wed. 8/29/12 9:28am Sam:

Hotel California-After-The-Earthquake

Wed. 8/29/12 9:29am Billy Jam:

at f0f0 }: - that is a great idea for a broadcast

Wed. 8/29/12 9:29am f0f0 }:

Vicki,

You should also do a live show from the Thames..or at least from the Pond in Hyde Park in the company of some friendly royal swans!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:29am Billy Jam:

OH NO!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:29am jbm:

The sound quality is so much better than the last lake remote. There's that, at least.

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 9:30am Vicki:

I am actually 2 mins walk from the Thames

Wed. 8/29/12 9:30am fred von helsing:

Bikini girls with machine guns

Wed. 8/29/12 9:30am mark vt:

I like the tentacles on that boat. Octopus or squid you think?

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 9:30am Vicki:

Ken actually SOUNDED like he was in space on the phone

Wed. 8/29/12 9:31am Sam:

I want to hear sounds from outer space!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:31am Caryn:

For a while there, I thought Ken was recreating a scene from a "Piranhas" movie... If any flying piranhas show up, let's hope Ken manages to load a pic onto the playlist before he gets eaten.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:31am pierre:

this is sad.

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 9:31am Vicki:

I think in space the astronauts generally shout a lot

Wed. 8/29/12 9:34am still b/p:

When are you scheduled to jump the lake shark?

I love Grace Kelly, but I only want to see Kate Hepburn handling the True Love in the pool.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:35am Caryn:

@sb/p: so true about the Kelly/Hepburn preference.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:35am mark vt:

Has anybody seen that Gumby episode where he gets stuck on the moon and his dad has to take a fire truck ladder to get him? There was a sign on the moon telling him he needs to wear these weights because he is like 8 times lighter or something.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:39am Parq:

That chimp gif and that Dengue track are the best gif/track combo ever.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:40am pierre:

when i click on Ken's picture at the top, i end up with this picture, is that normal?

http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2012/08/15/party_dj.jpg

Wed. 8/29/12 9:40am Tiago in Toon:

what is this? Ken's overwater theme park

Wed. 8/29/12 9:40am Sam:

Yay Prince Harry!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:41am cee dubbles:

I'm very sad I missed this meetup, I even worked y'day and *could* have taken off, driven up with a few of my kayaks

Wed. 8/29/12 9:41am gga gga:

OOOH wfmu sillage in NNJ!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:42am dale:

pretty sure it's legal to urinate over the side of a boat in nj. number 2 is frowned on but still legal if a sinker

Wed. 8/29/12 9:43am Landlubber:

Excellent mic-handling and wind noise!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:45am Rear Admiral:

Debark.

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 9:45am popeee:

are you gonna pee on the air?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:46am f0f0 }:

I guess he's going to pee in the water.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:48am Dan B From Upstate:

Will this be in the WFMU movie?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:50am Obvious Speculation:

Not discovered by New York hipsters? I guess that leaves open that it *has* been discovered by NJ hipsters!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:50am revitte:

Melon farmer

Wed. 8/29/12 9:50am Landlubber:

If Michael Phelps says it's okay to urinate in an Olympic pool (http://tinyurl.com/phelps-aquatic-urine) what couldn't be okay in Ken's lake?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:50am Caryn:

If Ken was on a Mothra-fighting boat, this would be a more action-oriented episode. And I would be riveted.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:51am Buzz Aldrin:

Yay Ken! Extra Vehicular Activity! That separates the men from the boys.

If you need help tying off, get in touch with Major Tom.

Wed. 8/29/12 9:52am pierre:

In french : "JE SUIS SUR UN PUTAIN DE BATEAU"
(pronounced : JE SSUEE SUR AN PUTENN DE BATO)

Wed. 8/29/12 9:52am Cecile:

Hey, Billy Jam!!!

Hi, ken!!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:53am Brian in UK:

Well really Dusty!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQYMMsz9Eec

Wed. 8/29/12 9:53am common:

sounds like a boat

Wed. 8/29/12 9:53am gga gga:

I'll load the doggies in the car and bring you food. I happen to be free and so disposed. Send me directions from 206 N

Wed. 8/29/12 9:54am Cecile:

I hate it when my daddys fight.

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 9:54am bw:

omni mic distorts captain.. turn it down

Wed. 8/29/12 9:55am Gilligan:

Standing by to receive visitors !

Wed. 8/29/12 9:56am Caryn:

You should have Andy along simply as emergency rations, in case you get stranded somewhere. Plenty of meat there. (and if you have any of those bath salts left, you could eat those first to get in a cannibalistic mood)

Wed. 8/29/12 9:57am MuthaFricken Pirates of the NJ Lake:

we are going to board Ken's boat and hold him for ransom - pay up $100,000 or he drowns - or is it a mini Marathon?

Wed. 8/29/12 9:58am Neg-guh-tor:

Slim Whitman bringing on an acid flashback. Oh, no. It's starting again!

Wed. 8/29/12 9:59am Radio Caroline:

You can't touch this !

Wed. 8/29/12 10:00am f0f0 }:

1. Ingest bath salts
2. Do a radio show from Lake Owassa
3. ???
4. Profit.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:01am G:

Does the guy getting in the kayak have a semi-automatic?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:02am Neg-guh-tor:

Ken! Check their flag before you let them board. Could be Somali pirates.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:02am Caryn:

@f0f0 }: hahahaha!

I wonder if Hues Corporation's "Rock the Boat" will be played today?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:02am Neg-guh-tor:

Larry!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:03am Cecile:

Are you sure it's not the Coast Guard?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:04am dale:

oranges, lemons and hardtack on it's way.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:04am f0f0 }:

Larry's aproaching the boat on a kayak...torpedo time!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:04am Al Czervik:

You scratched my anchor!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:05am dale:

HI PHIL!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:05am Billy Jam:

This show is a prime example of why I love WFMU so much

Wed. 8/29/12 10:05am Landlubber:

This is a classic example of Ken making brilliant radio out of thin air, literally - great stuff!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:06am cee dubbles:

the Shohola is one bad assed waterfall, class IV in a creek boat, 60' drop

Wed. 8/29/12 10:07am fred von helsing:

rudder nonsense !

Wed. 8/29/12 10:08am GrammarGirl:

"There's one more ... " "There're two more ..." "There're three more ..."

Wed. 8/29/12 10:10am G:

Talk about clear. I can hear a rope or something very faintly rubbing/creaking. I thought it was a sound happening here where I am, but when I muted, it was obviously something from the broadcast.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:10am common:

this is brilliant. I agree Landlubber.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:11am f0f0 }:

pierre at al:

Here's a bigger version of Ken's canoe small pic:

* URL should be redirected there

Wed. 8/29/12 10:11am gerardo:

hola a todos!!
always creative and surprising, Ken! - the background sounds are wonderful!!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:12am Admiral Nelson:

Sharky, prepare the Flying Sub! There's some jackass on a surfboard preparing depth charges.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:16am dale:

if i knew where to launch from i would have gone- coulda had an armada

Wed. 8/29/12 10:20am angry viewer:

tell him no!!! and then we can have some lake drama.. this is all too NICE

Wed. 8/29/12 10:21am dale:

occupy cosy lake! sounds like a fascist body (of water)

Wed. 8/29/12 10:22am Sam:

You should absolutely chase the illegal fishers away. It's up to everyone to protect the environment and enforce the rules. You want to have a lake with no fish left in it?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:22am Cecile:

we don't have lake associations where I came from.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:23am Sam:

Where do you come from Cecile, the desert? LOL

Wed. 8/29/12 10:23am G:

@Cecile: Aspirational middleclass people can get bossy about the stupidest crap.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:25am Cecile:

I come from Upper Michigan.
There are plenty of lakes. The townships and cities and the state requlate the lakes.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:27am Cecile:

one of them is Lake Superior. It needs more than just a single association to watch over it.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:28am βrian:

Me too, Cecile. I'm not used to seeing buildings along the shore either.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:28am MarcO:

Hello all!
Is it still Floaters?
Thanks!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:31am Rear Admiral:

Yay Mothers!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:32am Cecile:

they probably have associations on the smaller lakes here in MN.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:37am Cecile:

that was awesome!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:39am dale:

this actually sounds like a pot deal going down

Wed. 8/29/12 10:39am Marmalade kitty:

..sounds like the bathtub show

Wed. 8/29/12 10:42am Billy Jam:

pot n poppy deal in the batch tub show

Wed. 8/29/12 10:43am Ken From Hyde Park:

Thanks for the lake broadcast. I think the logical extension of broadcasting from a boat and a paddle board is to broadcast from under the water. Does anyone have a mini-sub to haul out there?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:44am f0f0 }:

If there were some Vanilla Sky 7 involved we could also call it "bathsaltstub show".

Wed. 8/29/12 10:44am G:

Don't pull the plug out of the bottom of the boat.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:46am G:

You have 80 estimated minutes of power left and 75 minutes of show? Cross your fingers

Wed. 8/29/12 10:46am Caryn:

It's so convenient for the Dutch to have all those poppies growing all over the place and along the highways. I wonder if that's one historical reason for the free availability of drugs in the Netherlands?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:48am space-lounge:

Listening makes me want to get back out to lake country haha. Thanks for the show Ken! Smooth sailing, comrades

Wed. 8/29/12 10:50am listener mark:

good morning Ken.
good morning everyone.
Why is Ken on a boat?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:50am Dan B From Upstate:

Dammit! I get back from break just as I'm on a boat is ending. oh well. that's what archives are for.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:50am G:

@Listener Mark: Variety.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:51am Jennique:

"The space and the light put the zap on his head."
"Terminate, with extreme prejudice."

Wed. 8/29/12 10:54am mark vt:

I have a Sevylor boat. It is also Coast Guard approved and you can even put a small motor on it. Have not used it in a very long time but it was blown up last weekend.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:54am f0f0 }:

listener mark,

Why not my friend?!

Wed. 8/29/12 10:55am pierre:

I just wanted to say that for this special occasion, i'm wearing my "WFMU the good ship" T-Shirt.

Wed. 8/29/12 10:55am Terrorists:

We officially claim responsibility for blowing up mark's boat

Wed. 8/29/12 10:55am JJJ:

Boat of car

Wed. 8/29/12 10:59am βrian:

The omnidirectional poppies?

Wed. 8/29/12 10:59am listener mark:

Next up, Ken on a roof.
Ken in the basement working on his boiler.
Ken on his lawn.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:00am G:

listener mark is a genius programmer!!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:01am Caryn:

I would listen to all of those!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:02am βrian:

I had a story about poppies ... but I forget.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:03am lee:

one of my favorite Ken extravaganzas involved him broadcasting while riding in a car

Wed. 8/29/12 11:03am Vicki:

wow

Wed. 8/29/12 11:04am Dan B From Upstate:

Team Fortress 2! I'm a pyro!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:04am Sam:

Would Ken would Ken in a boat?
Would Ken would Ken with a goat?
Would Ken would Ken on a lawn?
Would Ken would Ken watching pawn?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:05am listener mark:

@lee excellent!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:05am Clive:

Hello! Listening from the Isle Of Man, British Isles

Wed. 8/29/12 11:05am Luke:

Medic/Heavy here Dan B

Wed. 8/29/12 11:06am jbm:

Definitely, listener mark. I can't wait for the all-boiler show, with nothing but boiler-related content.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:07am Ike:

@listener mark @10:59, I believe Ken already did a broadcast from a roof in the early 1990s as a marathon stunt. Can any old-timers confirm?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:08am Caryn:

What kind of heating system does Peter Rabbit have in his home?
A bunny boiler.
*rimshot*

Wed. 8/29/12 11:08am listener mark:

I called the phone number and it sent me to voice mail.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:08am mark vt:

For some reason I really liked the show when home depot guy came to do the carpet. One of my favorites. Ken really descended into madness.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:09am f0f0 }:

yeah, great idea!!!!!!!! it would be a great excuse to play all those boiler-themed songs that WFMU DJs are afraid to play.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:09am Dan B From Upstate:

Awesome, Luke! We'll have to trade hats!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:10am thelma blitz:

Did you say Bob Fass is going to be on 7 second delay tonight or next week?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:11am Luke:

I have one hat, and I wont trade it. I'm more into strange weapons.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:11am jbm:

Next week:

The must-have craft for next broadcast on water:
http://tinyurl.com/d92ut6w

Wed. 8/29/12 11:12am Vicki:

I think the best thing for everyone would be for WFMU to sell up 43 Monty, buy a big boat and move onto the Hudson River

Wed. 8/29/12 11:13am mark vt:

Too bad there wasn't a way to put this event on Ustream.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:14am Dan B From Upstate:

Houseboat of tomorrow pledge, right Vicki?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:15am Vicki:

in the spirit of Radio Caroline (let's skip the bit where it sunk)

Wed. 8/29/12 11:16am Ricardo Montalban:

Was only able to tune in right now at work, thanks to my crap service provider at home.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:16am Carmichael:

Hello Kenneth. If you were any kind of techno DJ, you would be posting comments from the lake. Can someone play the Pogues' Drunken Boat??

Wed. 8/29/12 11:17am Jesus Christ:

So...How stoned is Ken today?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:18am common:

s.h.c. a fear of mine since 'that's incredible'

Wed. 8/29/12 11:19am G:

Ken mentioned a while back that the sun glare on the lake keeps him from seeing comments

Wed. 8/29/12 11:19am Robert:

That disease would be diabetes, Ken.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:20am Cecile:

I can believe that. We have some truly brackish lakes up here.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:22am mark vt:

I knew a guy that went to Papau New Guinea to help film a documentary of a very remote tribe. He said there were parasites in the rivers that would go into your urethra and had barbs like a hook and could only go in one way and stay there.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:23am Ricardo Montalban:

Yes. Candiru, I think they're called. <squirms uncomfortably>

Wed. 8/29/12 11:24am still b/p:

I think Truly Brackish is a female Dickens character.

More of the nutso-faced ("terrifyingly hilarious") synchronized swimmers would be suitable visuals today.
http://tinyurl.com/d6bclms

Wed. 8/29/12 11:24am Caryn:

@mark vt: that's the candiru. It more commonly attacks women than men. Nasty piece of work.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:24am mark vt:

He also said there were big leeches that would go up your bunghole and people would use a tobacco plug to keep them away.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:25am Wikipedia:

"These smaller species are known for an alleged tendency to invade and parasitise the human urethra; however, despite ethnological reports dating back to the late 19th century, the first documented case of the removal of a candiru from a human urethra did not occur until 1997, and even that incident has remained a matter of controversy."

Wed. 8/29/12 11:25am MD:

YOU'RE A NAVY MAN NOW!!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:25am fred von helsing:

candirus and leeches and bungholes, oh my

Wed. 8/29/12 11:26am f0f0 }:

more candiru stories please

Wed. 8/29/12 11:27am Ricardo Montalban:

I think there's a few of them in William S. Burroughs novels. Can't remember which at the moment.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:28am still b/p:

Someone tried to tell me that if you're out of the water peeing into it, candiru can go up the pee stream -- like a salmon -- to gain entry.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:28am Carmichael:

My nest album will be called Candiru.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:29am f0f0 }:

no more candiru stories please

Wed. 8/29/12 11:29am Carmichael:

*next*

♥ Wed. 8/29/12 11:29am bw:

canidru is the real Cthulhu !

Wed. 8/29/12 11:30am Wikipedia:

You people are pretty gullible, as long as a good story is involved :)

Wed. 8/29/12 11:30am The Cars:

when I see the black power salute I will know I am out of range - that is the title of your autobio

@Wikipedia: I blame Burroughs, who knew a good story when he heard it.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:32am Tony Orlando:

Candiru, we can make it together ....

Wed. 8/29/12 11:32am mark vt:

wait. is it candiru or canidru?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:32am Dan B From Upstate:

Rule 3 is my favorite.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:33am Carmichael:

Hey Ken, maybe you should take your computer down to the hold to read it. It's down the stairs, next to the scullery.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:33am Caryn:

Next, let's talk about those worms who live in your eyeball and eat it slowly. Or the ones that live in your lungs until they crawl up and out of your mouth... Ugh, the world is full of yucky stuff.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:33am Ricardo Montalban:

@mark vt: It's candiru http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candiru

Wed. 8/29/12 11:34am EJ:

It seems to me you lived your life like a...

Wed. 8/29/12 11:36am Bernie:

...candiru in the wizz.

The story seems legit thou.

harry don't curse!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:38am Lewis:

Now THIS is great radio!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:38am ahab:

Harry, do you see a whale?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:39am Lewis:

I love the beeping and the imagined desperation...

Wed. 8/29/12 11:39am quilty:

Time for some Deliverance music to start playing.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:39am SeanT:

Really? I think this is some of the worst radio a have ever heard. But not turning it off. Both ends of the bell curve for any endeavor can be fascinating for their very existence.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:40am Mark:

Ken has been abducted by the monster of Lake Owassa!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:40am Carmichael:

It sounds like we're hearing the Coast Guard fishing Ken out of the water with a gaffing hook.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:40am clueless in MI:

Ike; yes, Ken climbed naked out onto the roof a few years back as a marathon stunt.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:40am Ghost of Billy Mays:

PUT THE AMAZING CANDIRU BLOCKER IN PLACE AND...NOOO PROBLEM!!!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:41am Caryn:

@sb/p: yeah, most of the stories seem aimed at scaring guys. No threat of the pee stream salmoning in real life. But pee freely while IN the water... And most witnessed cases involve women (easier urethra to get into).

Wed. 8/29/12 11:41am still b/p:

Aqua-Shane....come baaaaaack!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:41am paul b:

What saves this from being an absolute exercise in dead air is the sound of wind & water slapping against the hull of the canoe and the beep of the wireless mic. , but Harry we can hear you

Wed. 8/29/12 11:43am Ike:

The sound of the wind is gorgeous for some reason. It's very calming. I can pretend to be out there on the lake instead of at work.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:43am Mark:

phew

Wed. 8/29/12 11:44am Caryn:

The little background noises take me back to our island... Nicest bit of the whole broadcast.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:44am space-lounge:

"i will never leave the canoe again"

I'm gonna hold you to that

Wed. 8/29/12 11:45am Mark:

fer sure bro

C-A-N-D-I-R-U, guess what it's gonna do to you, C-A-N-D-I-R-U, goin' up straight inside of you, WHOOAAAAA ....

Wed. 8/29/12 11:45am SeanT:

"Never get out of the boat." Absoultely goddamn right! Unless you were goin' all the way ... Ken got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin' program. (apologies to Mr.Sheen)

Wed. 8/29/12 11:45am f0f0 }:

paul b,

There was no dead air at all! The Zebra tune by Young Marble Giants was -and still is- playing and if I remember correctly, this is the signal for us the listeners to call in.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:46am mark vt:

the wiki says the candiru is in the Amazon. Not anything I could see about Papau New Guinea. Maybe a similar species?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:48am Wikipedia:

@mark vt: Maybe a story that's so "good" people use it regardless of facts :)

that's "Papua" btw

Wed. 8/29/12 11:49am Carmichael:

The white trash cousin of the candiru lives in the swamps. They only have a few teeth ....

Wed. 8/29/12 11:51am Carmichael:

Don't say "welcome", Ken. Say, "Ahoy!". Landlubber ...

Wed. 8/29/12 11:52am Caryn:

@mark vt: a few years back, there was a story that supposedly, some pacu imported to Papua from Brazil had attacked two fishermen after having followed the urine trails they had left, and then bitten off the guys' weiners. So that's probably the source of the story. But whether the report was accurate at the time? Who knows.

Wed. 8/29/12 11:52am Mark:

tippy canoe and Ken too!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:52am Jerseyite:

Ahoy DIS, ya maroon

Does any one know where the love of God goes

Wed. 8/29/12 11:55am Ken From Hyde Park:

Any news of how WWOZ is doing during Hurricane Isaac?

Wed. 8/29/12 11:57am Dan B From Upstate:

That was incredibly compelling, Just like four years ago!

Wed. 8/29/12 11:59am f0f0 }:

oh, time's up! All unboard the love boat!

Wed. 8/29/12 12:01pm fred von helsing:

compelling is the word

Hey!! We are not living in the Dark Ages!! We have radio stations where DJ's can live broadcast.
