Favoriting August 10, 2021: "The Codger never sees a good quality in a man and never fails to see bad ones. He is the human owl, vigilant in darkness, blind to light, always mousing for vermin and never seeing noble game." — H.W. Beecher

Hello in advance, everybody. Well, not EVERYBODY. That would be a quantitative impossibility. How about, Hello, as many of you as plan to tune in to the Old Codger's Philco Cheap Cigar Boudoir on Tuesday this week? I think that's a more practical welcome.

There will be some controversy on tonight's program. There have been outraged calls for Gus Bodenheim to resign because of some "inappropriate" gestures on his part. Gus is going to deliver a statement.

Hairline fractures on his 78s? I'd thought that Mr Edison's hairline was so high by now it was on the floor of the storey above him.

The matter involving Gus is being taken very seriously around here. The Old Codger Programming Board held a late-night meeting to discuss these allegations. I'm not at liberty to discuss what happpened at that gathering, but it adjourned around 6am when they ran out of Sly Weasel.

Jonathan Harker wrote:

I had now an opportunity of observing him, and found him of a very marked physiognomy.

'His face was a strong—a very strong—aquiline, with high bridge of the thin nose and peculiarly arched nostrils; with lofty domed forehead, and hair growing scantily round the temples but profusely elsewhere. His eyebrows were very massive, almost meeting over the nose, and with bushy hair that seemed to curl in its own profusion. The mouth, so far as I could see it under the heavy moustache, was fixed and rather cruel-looking, with peculiarly sharp white teeth; these protruded over the lips, whose remarkable ruddiness showed astonishing vitality in a man of his years. For the rest, his ears were pale, and at the tops extremely pointed; the chin was broad and strong, and the cheeks firm though thin.'

Coïncidence? I think not.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

So good to be back and listening to this show! I was gone for a few weeks, hitting the rails on Amtrak to visit family in Austin and Indianapolis. Only really listened to a few Wake and Bake episodes and otherwise tuned into the local radio stations. Found some cool stuff! But what a pleasure it is to be back with the Old Codger! Missed the first half of the show because of Jeopardy though.

Are you in jeopardy, Rosey? You can contact our lawyer, Bud Wifflebat. He's not a good attorney, but he's cheap.

Rosey, you should record Jeopardy to watch later, and listen to Courtney when he's on.
