Davee:

Oh dear, I'm early.
Avatar 11/2 5:52pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Oh, hello, Davee. Would you like a shot of Sly Weasel and some donuts while you wait? We also have a fresh supply of Rancho Malario cigars, if you're inclined. Smoking is most definitely allowed in the poutin' shanty. In fact, it's encouraged.
Avatar 11/2 8:57pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Manly vices are not frowned upon in the shanty. It's an oasis of geriatric machismo. It's always 1955 (or earlier) in here.
Avatar 11:56am
Pierre Delecto:

Can I get a recount?
Avatar 1:38pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

The Sears Goat will be on tonight's program. We still have not given him a name. Courtney has been on hold with Sears Customer Service for seven hours trying to find out why they didn't send the free, pre-assembled Sears cat.

You mean Buzz Capra, the right-hoofer?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:19pm
zopa:

$24 dollars? Whatever happened to no DJ left behind? I suspect some kind of hijinks for which Fablio is most certainly to blame.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:34pm
zopa:

The ledgers have been balanced. The appropriate authorities have been alerted. Take that Fablio!
Avatar 4:43pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

We came to an out-of-court settlement last month in which the Codger agreed to a substantial sum from Fablio and his attorney in exchange for dropping all criminal charges. Now they seem to be reneging and sorting thru the law books in search of loopholes.
Avatar 5:12pm
Pierre Delecto:

There are some things on which one does not compromise. Gallstones, for example.
  5:38pm
Laura L:

Fablio just said The Old Codger has some "thing" on his neck! Slanderous!
Avatar 5:48pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

It's only a matter of time before the thing on Fablio's neck will be a noose.

Thanks to Flip the Frog for contributing tonight's opening theme! Flip will return later in the program for more hijinks.

23 skiddoo. did the codger name his goat?
Avatar 6:03pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney wants to point out that Blind Willie Dunn's willie was not, in fact, blind. It was just a nickname.

But it only had one eye.

The Brox Sisters give me comfort in these trying times
  6:13pm
Miss G:

G, for a minute I thought you were referring to the OC as an OG, and I was impressed by your up-to-the-minute slang. . .
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:13pm
G:

It was a subtle allusion, hein?
Avatar 6:14pm
spodiodi:

if the devil doesn't like it, he too can sit on a tack
  6:14pm
Miss G:

Ah, yes, because the OC is all about the subtlety!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:14pm
coelacanth∅:

yes, the OC probably really *is* the OG
Avatar 6:15pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Does OG stand for Old Goat?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:22pm
zopa:

Is there a tonic one can take for melisma?
Avatar 6:22pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney knew Winnie. Not intimately, though. "Alas," he says.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm
coelacanth∅:

whiskey's a pretty good remedy for melisma
  6:24pm
Miss G:

Winnie's not enterin' any Sears shack! (We have them in my old nabe and they are darling, I would kill to live in one of those Sears kit homes.)

I am on hold. They said my call was "very important" to them. I am always inclined to give strangers the benefit of the doubt. I hold patiently.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm
G:

Your call is so important they are not taking it.
  6:45pm
Listener Robert:

Is it a PSA saying to go out and vote?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm
coelacanth∅:

when someone finally gets on the other end you should start crying and ask them if your call really is that important to them
Avatar 6:46pm
spodiodi:

i hope my franchise gets some french fries
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm

Knowing a call is 'very important' does generate anxiety

The goat! y'all have no idea. . .my parents forced us to have goats in our middle years. .dirty hippies. (My goat won first prize at the 4H fair, and I also won for memorizing all the parts of the goat. The other kidz hated me.)
