Fool's Paradise Playlists for December 28, 2013

Listener comments!

Yvonne DeCarlo! Ooooof!

1:08pm fred:

Happy new year Rex. I took William Shatner's advice (as delivered in the previous show) to heart: drink or drive. I made my choice, and haven't been behind the wheel for 20 years and counting

1:11pm Juke Joint Jonny:

DeCarlo was Miss Venice Beach 1938, according to imdb.

1:12pm Joe non Papa:

Chesterfields. Well placed.

1:15pm Mailman Tom:

Happy New Year, Rex! You have the best show on WFMU!

1:16pm fleep:

A South Carolina woman was held on a domestic abuse charge for allegedly stabbing her common-law husband with a decorative ceramic squirrel when he came home late on Christmas Eve without any beer.

1:17pm Joe non Papa:

Wikipedia lists only five famous people from Estherville, IA: an actor, two politicians and two murderers.

1:18pm CTEmpress:

Gotta watch the squirrely ones

1:19pm tomB:

Estherville? Eddie M. must have done a vanity pressing from IGL.
Meanwhile, don't knock Fort Wayne. There's a book out that says it was #10 on Hitler's list!

1:20pm teeter tot:

@Fleep. I believe you because you just can't make that stuff up.

1:21pm Big Hassle:

the gods must be greasy

1:22pm fred:

Coming home late can be forgiven. But doing so without beer or acceptable liquor in hand definitely deserves a squirrel hit

1:24pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Apparently the squirrel in question was decorative AND functional.

1:24pm pork belly preview:

I am wracking my pea-sized brain trying to figure out which appendage of the squirrel was sharp enough to inflict fatal lacerations.

1:26pm fred:

@ever-changing-named-one: not fatal, he was well enough to sell his story to "news" outlets

1:28pm Detroit Robbery:

My favorite tool of squirrel humiliation

boingboing.net...

1:28pm Big Hassle:

hope she she didn't go for the nuts !

1:30pm thumb hammer:

@Big Hassle I think your're on to something there, if she was blackmailing the squirrel by holding on to his nuts, he propbably would of killed anyone she wanted him to.

1:31pm fred:

@how-am-I-supposed-to-know: did you try it? I doubt it would actually work as advertised -- then again, what does?

1:33pm milk outlet man:

Oh it works alright Fred, those yard rats have no shame when easy pickins' are involved.

1:34pm fred:

@I-give-up-guessing: pics or it didn't happen

1:35pm Big Hassle:

today I saw an amazing Hitchcock hour with Slim Pickens, Goober Lindsay and Pat Buttram , all about a sideshow pickled punk type gaff !

1:36pm Mondriaan Square:

Yes, it's the real deal. If I had my ow n yard I think I'd buy one myself. Sweet revenge.

1:36pm ThePompadour:

Love the show. Hey Rex can you post your favorite movie recommendations? Like in the same style/genre of your show?

1:39pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Musty? Time to bathe.

1:40pm morris midget:

Yes, they become 'musty' after too much 'glowing' (as they used to say) Juke Joint Johnny.

1:40pm fred:

@semi-random-one: I think I saw you use that "Mondriaan Square" name before. Maybe your code can be cracked then. That would be a great challenge if I could bring myself to care about it. No way that happens though: my brother gave me a bottle of Yoichi for Xmas, priorities...

1:43pm fleep:

@fred A quick trip to the profile page reveals the true name of the Doctor.

1:43pm moral code ring:

@Fred *head hanging shame* Yeah, i'm swapping laptops and all the names have to be hand transferred to the new computer so am revisiting some golden oldies.

1:45pm CTEmpress:

How About It Baby: whhhooooohoo!!!

1:47pm fred:

@fleep: I'm afraid to look: knowing the true name of the Doctor seems to bring some heavy responsibility. Rex' show is definitely not the time for that. I'll just pour myself another drink instead

1:50pm moma fried:

@Fred Have pity on me. Last night I was trying trick myself to sleep by thinking up new names to use. Decided to try a 'series' with car names of animals. I need to write them all down but got to get my butt over to supercuts for a presentable holiday mop.

1:52pm glenn:

i'm holding out for the irish mccalla memorial playlist.

1:53pm Big Hassle:

Knockers up !

1:56pm fred:

@keep-me-guessing: please don't go to series, these may make you predictable. Just buy a newspaper and pick a few words based on something random, like lottery numbers spliced into page/column/line. Then use a randomish cue to get another paper.

1:57pm Big Hassle:

I think we need some pictures of lily...(no, not them)

2:00pm lottery loser:

@Fred. Jeezzus Fred, I'm having enough trouble tying to fall asleep with my anal retentive compulsion to remember car names of animals. Don't get me started on crossword puzzles!

2:00pm Big Hassle:

Rex can play this one every week far as I'm concerned

2:00pm RevPhil:

I saw BOB GADDY performed live at Tramp's in N.Y. back in June 1994. He open for saxmen Big Jay McNeely and Joe Houston.

2:11pm fred:

@john-cage-s-drummer: fake randomness is all about the seed; may you find the right one. Sorry if I put pressure by pretending to care about your names, I don't mean that in a mean way: I do like the uncertainty, but I don't care about it

2:16pm Bearcat:

@Fred, no, I don't care about them either. I'm just joking around, am not to be taken seriously. I appreciate your conversation.

2:21pm Cobra Jet:

thanks for the parisidel episode DJ Rex. All youz guyz and galz have a great show. I'm off to have my ears lowered so I can hear the radio better.

2:22pm fleep:

May the back of your head achieve the gold standard.

2:24pm fred:

@foreknowledge-is-boredom: I'd rather focus on what you have to say than on your names. It was fun, but has run its course. Your discourse hasn't

2:24pm Big Hassle:

What would Rex do if this show became hugely popular?...would he then have to quit ?

2:25pm Greyhound:

@Fleep Remember, I'm going to Supercuts, I'll be lucky if they don't give me the Van Gogh ear trim with those scissors of theirs.

2:27pm Droll:

Uncanny! I just got back from having my knuckles lowered and this show certainly sounds better. Trust me, you'll like the show a lot more when you get back!

2:28pm Big Hassle:

get your IQ and brow lowered as well

2:29pm Super Bee:

@Fred So many inane word combinations / so little time.

2:30pm Power Wagon:

@Big Hassle if I get my nose and brow lowered too much they might collide with my stiff upper lip.

2:31pm fred:

@whatever: inane is the new whatever

2:32pm Marlin:

@ Fred Full Definition of INANE 1 : empty , insubstantial 2 : lacking significance , meaning, or point : silly

2:32pm ?:

"I gotta shoot some beaver"?

2:33pm jeff in puna:

Little Bieber?

2:34pm common:

beaver shot wow

2:34pm fred:

While "whatever" isn't even worthy of a definition, which makes it the platonic ideal of inane

2:35pm Stag:

Beavers are always very close to bearded clams. sounds like a full meal.

2:38pm Droll:

Whooda, Getting busy, as beavers are wont.

2:41pm Tidepoolbay:

Pork N Beans. Great!

2:42pm fred:

I do apologize for getting philosophy into this otherwise blameless show. I'll plead being clueless due to geographic impairment

2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Is Terre T going on the air today? The home page mentions that Paul Bruno will be filling in.

2:47pm braveness23:

B23 here!

2:48pm Double Dutch:

well........welll

2:59pm Tidepoolbay:

Rex, Thanks for another fine wine show!

3:00pm fred:

Hey b23! How's married bliss so far?

3:00pm dung beetle:

Happy New Years all

3:01pm Joe non Papa:

Thanks for another great year of lunkhead rock.

6:19pm Dolemite:

Rock Baby Rock It!
