Lolabelle Pancake:

Looking forward to tonight's 6pm gathering for the Old Codger show. Vaughn De Leath will be a special guest in the studio teaching the listeners how to play ukulele! She will present a lot of information, so please have a pencil handy.
  11:17am
Listener Robert:

Any further info on The Fabled One's crime career?

Jean P. Shepherd called Blatz the beer with the appropriate name.
Avatar 2:58pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Robert: Courtney's attorney, Charles "Buster" Binderfloss, advised him that continuing to discuss Fablio's crimes on the air would harm the prosecution's ability to make a case to an impartial jury. They argued about it, and Courtney almost fired Buster. But eventually the cooler head prevailed. So tonight Courtney will be focusing on the perfidy of Arthur Godfrey, the dumb music of other WFMU DJs, and the apocalyptic significance of digital media.

Pauly from Clifton:

I'm listening to Fablo now. It sounds like he put a bunch of aggies in the washing machine! The nerve!
  4:26pm
Listener Robert:

Since with enough agitation aggies fragment, that's a broken glass booby trap for whoever next does laundry. It'll get into their clothes and scratch them and their wearer up good. I never knew Flabbio was into such petty mischief.
  4:32pm
Listener Robert:

As long as Courtney's laying into the dumb music of other WFMU DJs, I hope he doesn't give Kill Belly a pass. Or Brain Bobbin. They think they know something about music. I think they must've made off with the goods from the library and are melting them down for...whatever melted shellac and vinyl are good for. That's why they haven't been heard for a while.

Can't Courtney start the show now? Do we really have to listen to Fablio's drivel any longer?

Fabios Pennsylvania Lawyer:

Fabio's innocence is extreme and very well documented. It's intense and has the shiny surfaces and sharp edges of Modernism. There are some "elbows" in it to be sure. People can be hurt by the intensity of it. I have here a list of 366 people that have been hurt in Fabois presence (With no others present) which demonstrates fabios amazing innocence.

Let me know when in your mind you have decided to acquit and I'll save the remaining arguments for the appeal.

Someone highjacked Fablio's show for a whole set of objectively identifiable music by Alice Coltrane. He must be mortified.

Courtney had a young guest (age 50 or so) at his poutin' shanty earlier this week. The guy had never seen a vintage ukulele and wanted to try it. He reached for it, but Courtney grabbed his hand, looked him in the eye and said: "Back off! The last guy who touched that, all they found was a zipper."

Last time we sang Paper Moon was when we were good and plastered at Nancy's in Dumont and whoever wore the cat head had to solo it. Yes, Nancy had a big hollow cat head, though not the rest of a cat costume that I can recall.
