Lolabelle Pancake:

It has been a whirlwind week for the Old Codger! He will detail his doings on tonight's show. He wants to thank all the listeners who pledged to his show during the fundraiser, but particularly those who sent their donations directly to Courtney in the form of cash-stuffed envelopes. He told me to say that his gratitude is boundless. (Of course it isn't, but he feels you deserve a timeworn platitude.)

I suffer from adverbial hypersensitivity. It's a painful affliction. It literally makes my head explode.

I hope Courtney got my money! I asked him to write back to me so I could be sure it arrived safely (it was a LOT of money) but I haven't heard.

Fablio is playing something right now called "Suite For Broken Sex". I don't know what message he's trying send about his junk, but he should keep it to himself.
Avatar 6:00pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

I hope there were no children listening. Probably just broken down hippies.

HyperDose:

@Lolabelle We're mostly latchkey kids. Spare a nickel, ma'am?

JBoogie:

smells like mothballs in here
Avatar 6:02pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Mamie Smith would never sing about "broken sex." She would sing about a "handyman" who would fix it up good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:03pm
ultradamno:

Sounds like Tampa Red's woman is up to some monkey business
Avatar 6:03pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Any song Courtney plays with "monkey" in the title is about sex.

that's not the codger in that photo is it? i would have thought he'd have much more blacklung.

HyperDose:

Sounds like more of a Sophie Tucker number

Lolabelle Pancake:

Rrreggie: Courtney received your check. His only complaint was that it had too few zeroes.
Avatar 6:11pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

If Gaylord is listening, Courtney is elated that you brokered the introduction with BTB. He's going to send you a case of Sly Weasel Non-Alcoholic Bourbon.

When will the identity of Satan's bicycle messenger be revealed?

Iiiiiiiike:

If you didn’t already know the “unmasked form” of the OC, that last mic break would have given it away if you’ve been paying attention and know your DJs.
  6:18pm
JBoogie:

It's Jeff Conklin?
Avatar 6:18pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

There is a sticker on the back of the photo that says: "A chest X-ray in progress at Dr. Maxime Menard's radiology department at the Cochin hospital in Paris, circa 1914. Menard would later lose his finger to side effects from operating the X-ray machine."

LOVE Mild and Bitter!

jk i missed the mic break. miss ya Jeff

fascinating, Lolabelle!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:19pm

They don't have mild and bitter in Matawan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:20pm

it's good that menard is safe behind those wood panels.

Iiiiiii.e:

@JB, LOL, as if he has any sense of humor

that was sorta my joke

Oops, duh. WHOOSH

D Rok (in brooklyn):

Good evening, folks. Hello Lolabelle.

JBoogie:

I mailed you a box of raisins, Courtney. Did you get them?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:28pm
dale:

is this the automatic problematic? or the manual version...
Avatar 6:28pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

They both require batteries (not included—that's your first problem).
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:29pm
Iiiiieeee:

That Delbarton “colic horn” sound effect was almost sumptuously evocative of the losing horn noise on The Price Is Right.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:29pm
Rick from SC:

I don’t want one of those
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:31pm
G:

Many of the lyricists this week are heavily focused on personal problems. Is that because Ken asked for happy sets this week? "lol"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:32pm
ultradamno:

A fancy lithium battery or will a spud deliver sufficient charge?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:32pm
dale:

i'll have to hook one up to the aeromotor windmill. was gonna listen to edgar bergan on the crosley farm radio but he's not very good since he died.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:35pm
rrg:

Ventriloquism on the radio was never very good.
Avatar 6:37pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Nor is nudity.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:38pm
G:

Some people have the right looks for radio.
Avatar 6:38pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

There was a WFMU disc jockey named Kenneth Goldensmith who supposedly always did his show naked.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:39pm
dale:

oh, when rubbers could be said and no one tittered.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:39pm
G:

oh, when tittered could be said and no one giggled.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:39pm
dale:

i thought kenny g wore a codpiece and one of those opera helmets with the horns.
  6:40pm
KWilde:

I was wondering why his show was called Anal Magic
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:41pm
Folsom:

So was Jessica Walter way too young for the Codger? Same amount of wit though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:43pm
ultradamno:

She could sing www.youtube.com...

Listener Robert:

I think you're confusing Kenny G with Moondog. And I don't mean the goat.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm
G:

Flip never got the breaks that Mickey did.
Avatar 6:45pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

There is little dialogue in the Flip features because he had trouble remembering his lines.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm
G:

He should have read from a big binder. Like at a press conference.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm
D Rok (in brooklyn):

I'm pretty sure I've seen this one.

wendy del formaggio:

I tuned in late, but just in time for...Flip the Frog!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm
G:

I'm Betting on Etting.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm
dale:

flip the frog also had the studio caterers on edge because they cooked the snails and served with butter and he just wanted them live.
Avatar 6:54pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney is trying to get his hands on the 10-hr "lost" Flip the Frog film directed by Erich von Stroheim.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm
G:

There's probably a copy under someone's bed in Italy.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm
dale:

the one fritz lang abandoned? with the robotic frog?
Avatar 6:57pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Von Stroheim was such a stickler for accuracy. He insisted during the entire filming that Flip perform as a quadruped. It was difficult for Flip, who was accustomed to bipedal roles.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57pm
G:

What ever happened to typecasting?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
ultradamno:

Didn't he do a DW Griffith one once described as "amphibian history written with lightning"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
D Rok (in brooklyn):

I can't blame Flip. I'm a bipedal-phile myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm
dale:

bipedal or no - his sexual predilictions are no one's business.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm
ultradamno:

I think it may have contained denials of the events of The Frog Cried
