	12:08pm Rich in Washington: Greetings, Uncle Michael! Hello fellow Dinkieites!

	🛒 12:10pm Phillippe: So UM, is that tee shirt a premium that I missed?
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Chooglin along nicely
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Jeff!
	12:12pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects" by "Sharon Jon... Ms. Sharon Jones 4eva!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @12:10 sadly, no...private label...I once had an idea to offer them as a non-marathon station fundraiser, but that got nixed, for reasons I accept. I may one day decide to make it a marathon premium.
	12:15pm dan: ↳ Song: "Dupont Commercial" by "unk." For a second I thought this was as Bob and Ray skit.
	12:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Dupont Commercial" by "unk." Nice ideas for XMas presents!
	🛒 12:16pm Phillippe: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:13 That would be cool! If you make them extra long, the cycling crowd would be on em like Gary Fisher on singletrack!

	12:23pm Asheville Jon: cheers!
	🛒 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Hi UM!!

	12:29pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:20 Did you get my requests?

	🛒 12:36pm PAULS: A girl called Johnny! happy holidays UM
	12:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Ask the Angels" by "Patti Smith Group" I worshipped this song in the 80s. My gawd, I blasted this. I was a very bad neighbour. Or maybe it was of some benefit to someone I pasted to the wall. I dunno.

	12:37pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Asheville Jon @12:34 I can do anything. I'm Uncle Michael.
	12:37pm Uncle Michael: Pedro! PAULS!
	12:38pm Asheville Jon: excellent! (said in the most sinister Montgomery Burns voice, w/ creepy hunch and fiery grin)
	🛒 12:40pm Phillippe: I have to admit I am in decision paralysis for the request show. Do I want to request the song written and sung by the 13 yr old girl about 13 yr old girl things? Do I want to request the song where the waif from Singapore screams half the lyrics? Do I want to request the song about possibly growing up after a misspent youth? Most likely something else I decide on a whim. Or I'll just forget like other years.
	🛒 12:41pm WR: ↳ Phillippe @12:40 Like UM said, don't overthink it, and request them all and UM will include as appropriate (decided by UM). Hello UM.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: Next year I'm going to make a Hinky Dinky Time All Listener-Request Show decision tree animated gif.
	12:42pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	12:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Phillippe @12:40 Bunny Presley is a clue. You know what to do.

	12:43pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:42 sounds like a 10 hour Mandelbrot set animation to me
	🛒 12:43pm DjLorraine: ↳ Phillippe @12:40 I went with some olde songs i needed to share so i can move on to other songs in the future.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @12:43 Many people offer more than one option. Be warned though...then I choose from them.
	🛒 12:45pm Phillippe: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 not sure I get that reference
	🛒 12:45pm Phillippe: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:44 awesome! My wife will be relieved

	🛒 12:47pm Alvy Singer: Loving the show UM!!
	12:47pm StringOFperils: ↳ Phillippe @12:45 It's okay, Phillippe. When you start understanding me, you're getting in too deep. :) ...it referenced Bunny Wailer, and I was suggesting you mash up all of them and send Michael a bespoke audio-file....and, FYI, I'm not serious...or amn't I ?
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: ...but now i wonder, do i re-request those rejected songs? - there must be a handbook i can send away for.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Alvy.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:48 There's no chance I will remember that something was requested before, but not selected.
	12:49pm Marie in Chicago: Love this
	🛒 12:49pm Phillippe: ↳ StringOFperils @12:47 aaah! I woulda spent a lot of time trying unsuccessfully to figure that out
	12:50pm StringOFperils: ↳ Phillippe @12:49 LOL
	12:50pm dan: ↳ Song: "How You've Changed" by "Chuck Berry" I always thought this was an original Animals song.
	12:53pm still b/p: Someone in that squad sounding like Ernest T. Bass of Mayberry.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ still b/p @12:53 I love the sound of breaking glass.
	12:55pm StringOFperils: There's something barefoot and smelly about that last one. At least they were too fried to go out and really off the pigs.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @12:55 David Peel's influence cannot be overstated.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:49 i'm just messin'. it's my m.o. to think of a song or 3, then others, then on the day i realise i'm about out of time to request anything at all i think of something and make the call/email.

	1:08pm Pedro in Arlington: Dr. John R. Brinkley was not the GOAT but he knew several.
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:06 Years ago, I donated all my radio oriented books to WFMU's green room library, including "Border Radio".
	1:09pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Webhamster Henry I remember and loved your LCD contribution.

	1:45pm Uncle Michael: ↳ WR @1:44 beats me!
	1:46pm StringOFperils: My rattling on about music to a roomful of dead masks comes to mind.
	🛒 1:48pm egould: Good morning, Uncle Michael! I had your show booming in my ears this morning on my run. 6.5 miles splashing in rain and puddles. Plus, bald eagle flew about 20 feet over my head.
	1:49pm Polyus: See I like to keep my relatives focused on sports because it beats hearing them discuss "politics".
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:48 egould! I'm glad you didn't lose your earbuds to that raptor.
	🛒 1:49pm WR: ↳ egould @1:48 good that the sounds of Hinky Dinky Time convinced the bald eagle that your head was not suitable prey.
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Polyus!
	1:50pm spodiodi: ↳ Polyus @1:49 great idea
	🛒 1:50pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @1:42 I'd have to make accommodations for you if you ever come to visit. I'm looking at a 2 ft Santa dressed in a modified Ravens outfit right now and we watch so much auto racing you can still smell exhaust and burning rubber in the living room. I found a brake caliper under the sofa the last time i vacuumed.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me (Demo Acetate)" by "The Birds" Ron Wood doing Van Morrison doing Mick Jagger?
	1:52pm dan: Lead singer sounds like a mix between Mick Jagger and Ray Davies.
	🛒 1:54pm egould: ↳ WR @1:49 I actually see him alot. He's a big bird, too. On Saturday morning I watched him pluck a fish from Salmon Bay. He seems to eat well.

	2:11pm Uncle Michael: efd! thanks for the check-in
	🛒 2:11pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Same Old Story" by "Bert Sommer" From Wikipedia: While Sommer continued to write songs, he received another offer. After being encouraged to audition by music producer Artie Ripp, he appeared as "Flatbush" of Kaptain Kool and the Kongs on The Krofft Supershow in 1976, but did not reprise the role in the second season. Guy had a rollercoaster ride of a career.
	2:12pm efd: Also I sliced open the top of my right middle finger last night on something in the recycling, so typing is a bit of a challenge!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @2:11 he really did
	2:12pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @1:50 haha very kind, noted well. i'm down w/racing of any type ... especially auto racing so , it looks like we can still probably hang :-B (even w a tv present) :) reminds me that i've been neglecting GT7 ... must remedy over the "break" - also Starfield -- anyone playing Starfield? i've spent very little time on it so far (and i don't even have an xbox (only platform it's been released on and will remain so... )solution end up using my lappy and a M$"unlimited xbox "pass " but all hope is/was not lost, when i happened upon a great solution that i can just needed to buy a controller (since returned for a wireless one (arrives today)) can also play all ? most? xbox games (i care not -- am a Sony loyalist) lol @ finding that caliper Stardield - worth checking out... made by Bethesda (Fallout 4 creators)... he says hes been working on this more than twenty years or something. i'm expecting great things.... i've been wanting pretty much this exact game for decades. 🙂
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ efd @2:12 What you'll go through for the sake of Hinky Dinky Time!
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:12 THAT'S RIGHT!
	2:14pm spodiodi: apologies for thinking and typing abilities
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ efd @2:13 Put some ointment on that cut.
	2:16pm spodiodi: salves also help
	2:16pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 done! Ointment with band-aids on top so the ointment doesn't slather all over everything I touch (like my keyboard)
	🛒 2:17pm DjLorraine: ↳ efd @2:12 A wise man recently told me "accidents always happen". But they should not be happening to us doing the right thang.
	🛒 2:17pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:12 I picked up a Quest 3 V/R set with the hope I can find some good racing stuff. Probably could've researched it more, but its a business expense and needed to get it bought by the end of the year.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @2:16 unguent?
	2:18pm spodiodi: unction
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:16 dr gorschel's is a local favorite
	2:19pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:17 sweet! good luck. i've been tampted by Sony's VR 2 thing... but have yet to try one
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: That Five Keys track started with the "Nutrocker" piano lick. Almost a holiday song tease.
	🛒 2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been all distractible ...but listening !...
	🛒 2:23pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:19 iRacing will run on a V/R headset, but I'd have to find out if I can run off-line. Some people take that stuff very seriously and I'd rather not mess up their fun.
	2:27pm spodiodi: my first impressive experience using vr was waaayyy back in ... a 1990 or 91?? at a technical symposium ,(was co-oping w/IBM at the time), where the guests were showing the vr on a movie screen.... and letting people try it... there was a model city (pretty sparsely detailed) back when polygons cost an arm and a leg one could fly over the city and down into its. very cool at the time to me
	2:29pm StringOFperils: Not like Kim Fowley never stole anything
	2:29pm dan: ↳ Song: "Version - Reggie Stepper (Digital Kulcha MML 1991... Sounds more like "One Fine Day" than "Nutrocker"
	2:30pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ spodiodi @2:27 I had access to a Silicon Graphics Indigo 2 and was a VRML programmer. A Blazing 250 MHz and real-time 3D rendering (but textures were very slow)
	2:30pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Another null in the coffin of that ELP schmaltz
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: yes, nutrocker; but also either chattanooga choo choo, or choo choo cha boogie
	🛒 2:31pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:27 That would've been fun!
	2:33pm StringOFperils: Gold, Frankincense, Myrhh, and Lou Rawls. Very wise.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i've heard more xmas songs this year than in the combined past 40 years. and mostly absolute shit versions - "new versions". i almost can't hear them now.
	🛒 2:35pm egould: ↳ Song: "Little Drummer Boy" by "Lou Rawls" Parumppa pum pum. God I hate this song. Even as a kid I just did not like it. No problem with Lou Rawls. Just the song.
	2:35pm still b/p: Even when I was still pretty young, I had the sense that the Drummer Boy was just people jumping on the nativity and Christmas bandwagon with whatever extra shit they wanted to make up.
	2:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:18 ? and i hear you on people taking it very seriously (i ran a dirty racing thing for a couple of years ( to avoid people taking things too seriously) --. (the type who get all bent when you scratch their cars ;)- and it's hella fun
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I could go for some papadum right now.
	2:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ still b/p @2:35 I stand by the Lou Rawls. Go ahead, cross this line.
	2:41pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Need to shove off. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Merry Christmas/ Happy Hollandaise Uncle Michael and all you dinkies.
	🛒 2:41pm egould: And 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' sucks too. Talking wind talks to a lamb. A lamb talks to a shepherd. Shepherd boy gets access to a King, convinces him to take silver and gold to baby Jesus. Then the King tells his subjects that they'll receive goodness and light? Hey pal, how about some silver and gold? The whole thing is patently stupid.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: see ya, Oleh!
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: gotta take off Thanks UM! tchau
	2:44pm burke: Sorry I'm late! I streamed both Xmas HDT shows last night for relatives at dinner. Thanks!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: ceo ya coel!
	2:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ egould @2:41 No shit. The whole business is a candy-coated bullshit sandwich. Buy more coffee, buy more tea, buy more sugar, buy more rubber, buy more flesh, buy these greeting cards, buy Mariah Carey, buy whatever they're selling next year. Lighten up, Morrisey. We live in a hologram inside a mirror. Whaddya gonna do? I still like Lou Rawls' voice, did I mention...
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: burke! Thanks!
	🛒 2:46pm egould: ↳ StringOFperils @2:45 Oh yeah Lou Rawls is great.
	2:46pm dan: ↳ Song: "I Can't See Nobody" by "The Marbles" Graham Bonnet is an underrated figure in the rock world
	🛒 2:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jesus brings a prostitute to dinner ...he's the 'Light of the World' ...I do it & I'm 'making Thanksgiving awkward'...
	2:47pm Polyus: Okay but some of those songs he sang with Rainbow were a bummer.
	🛒 2:48pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Hahaha!
	2:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Ha ha ha. Comedy gold. Because it's true.
	2:49pm StringOFperils: Except the part about you and the nice lady. Maybe.
	2:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Lonely Just Like Me" by "Arthur Alexander" What a remarkable song. Sounded like he had very low expectations of finding love but Mary didn't let him push her away. I want to know more about Arthur Alexander. Another totally faboo show, UM. (I'd doing some deep cleaning of filthy radiators in this dump that I am staying in temporarily.) Happy Holidays, UM, and everyone!
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Such a pleasure to have the day off and get to hang out for the entirety of HDT.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Marie!
	🛒 2:54pm egould: Thanks Uncle Michael. Happy Holidays everybody. Peace and goodwill, right? I think it's time for a glass of merlot.
	2:56pm bradford: Many thanks UM, happy holidays!
	🛒 2:56pm Phillippe: Thanks UM! Have a great Christmas! Peace and love, y'all!
	2:57pm asheville jon: Thanks UM
	🛒 2:57pm DjLorraine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Back then i think you were forced into 3 genres. Virgin, mother or prostitute. I've never seen any receipts from this scenario. She may have been his teacher. (Sorry, peace on earth)
	2:58pm StringOFperils: Definitely. Peace and goodwill. By some awesome miracle, please let it be. In the meantime, enjoy a day off or two and have some fun. Merry Christmas or whatever to you all! Thanks a lot UM!!
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	2:58pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! great tunes, as always <3 happy everything, all! see you next time!
	2:59pm burke: Nobody can Lourawls it like Lou Rawls himself

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:08pm Rich in Washington: Greetings, Uncle Michael! Hello fellow Dinkieites!
	12:09pm Uncle Michael: Rich!
	12:10pm Marie in Chicago: Love this song. Never realized what they were saying. I thought it was "Bad ____". Hi UM, hi all! Love the gif @)
	🛒 12:10pm Phillippe: So UM, is that tee shirt a premium that I missed?
	12:10pm Jeff Golick: Chooglin along nicely
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Marie! Jeff!
	12:12pm adamdoesit: ↳ Song: "Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects" by "Sharon Jon... Ms. Sharon Jones 4eva!
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @12:10 sadly, no...private label...I once had an idea to offer them as a non-marathon station fundraiser, but that got nixed, for reasons I accept. I may one day decide to make it a marathon premium.
	12:15pm dan: ↳ Song: "Dupont Commercial" by "unk." For a second I thought this was as Bob and Ray skit.
	12:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Dupont Commercial" by "unk." Nice ideas for XMas presents!
	🛒 12:16pm Phillippe: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:13 That would be cool! If you make them extra long, the cycling crowd would be on em like Gary Fisher on singletrack!

	12:23pm Asheville Jon: cheers!
	🛒 12:23pm Alvy Singer: Hi UM!!
	12:24pm Uncle Michael: Alvy!
	12:29pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:20 Did you get my requests?

	12:36pm Pedro in Arlington: Good Dinky tidings to all.
	🛒 12:36pm PAULS: A girl called Johnny! happy holidays UM
	12:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Ask the Angels" by "Patti Smith Group" I worshipped this song in the 80s. My gawd, I blasted this. I was a very bad neighbour. Or maybe it was of some benefit to someone I pasted to the wall. I dunno.

	12:38pm Asheville Jon: excellent! (said in the most sinister Montgomery Burns voice, w/ creepy hunch and fiery grin)
	🛒 12:40pm Phillippe: I have to admit I am in decision paralysis for the request show. Do I want to request the song written and sung by the 13 yr old girl about 13 yr old girl things? Do I want to request the song where the waif from Singapore screams half the lyrics? Do I want to request the song about possibly growing up after a misspent youth? Most likely something else I decide on a whim. Or I'll just forget like other years.
	🛒 12:41pm WR: ↳ Phillippe @12:40 Like UM said, don't overthink it, and request them all and UM will include as appropriate (decided by UM). Hello UM.

	12:43pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:42 sounds like a 10 hour Mandelbrot set animation to me
	🛒 12:43pm DjLorraine: ↳ Phillippe @12:40 I went with some olde songs i needed to share so i can move on to other songs in the future.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Phillippe @12:43 Many people offer more than one option. Be warned though...then I choose from them.
	🛒 12:45pm Phillippe: ↳ StringOFperils @12:42 not sure I get that reference
	🛒 12:45pm Phillippe: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:44 awesome! My wife will be relieved

	🛒 12:47pm Alvy Singer: Loving the show UM!!
	12:47pm StringOFperils: ↳ Phillippe @12:45 It's okay, Phillippe. When you start understanding me, you're getting in too deep. :) ...it referenced Bunny Wailer, and I was suggesting you mash up all of them and send Michael a bespoke audio-file....and, FYI, I'm not serious...or amn't I ?
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: ...but now i wonder, do i re-request those rejected songs? - there must be a handbook i can send away for.
	12:48pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Alvy.
	12:49pm Uncle Michael: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:48 There's no chance I will remember that something was requested before, but not selected.
	12:49pm Marie in Chicago: Love this
	🛒 12:49pm Phillippe: ↳ StringOFperils @12:47 aaah! I woulda spent a lot of time trying unsuccessfully to figure that out
	12:50pm StringOFperils: ↳ Phillippe @12:49 LOL
	12:50pm dan: ↳ Song: "How You've Changed" by "Chuck Berry" I always thought this was an original Animals song.
	12:53pm still b/p: Someone in that squad sounding like Ernest T. Bass of Mayberry.
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: ↳ still b/p @12:53 I love the sound of breaking glass.
	12:55pm StringOFperils: There's something barefoot and smelly about that last one. At least they were too fried to go out and really off the pigs.
	12:56pm Uncle Michael: ↳ StringOFperils @12:55 David Peel's influence cannot be overstated.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:49 i'm just messin'. it's my m.o. to think of a song or 3, then others, then on the day i realise i'm about out of time to request anything at all i think of something and make the call/email.

	1:08pm Pedro in Arlington: Dr. John R. Brinkley was not the GOAT but he knew several.
	1:09pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:06 Years ago, I donated all my radio oriented books to WFMU's green room library, including "Border Radio".

	1:50pm spodiodi: ↳ Polyus @1:49 great idea
	🛒 1:50pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @1:42 I'd have to make accommodations for you if you ever come to visit. I'm looking at a 2 ft Santa dressed in a modified Ravens outfit right now and we watch so much auto racing you can still smell exhaust and burning rubber in the living room. I found a brake caliper under the sofa the last time i vacuumed.
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "You Don't Love Me (Demo Acetate)" by "The Birds" Ron Wood doing Van Morrison doing Mick Jagger?
	1:52pm dan: Lead singer sounds like a mix between Mick Jagger and Ray Davies.
	🛒 1:54pm egould: ↳ WR @1:49 I actually see him alot. He's a big bird, too. On Saturday morning I watched him pluck a fish from Salmon Bay. He seems to eat well.
	2:02pm wenzo: Howdee Howdee
	2:04pm Uncle Michael: wenzo!
	2:05pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "I Can't Tell What Truth Is Anymore" by "Andy Part... The human fountain of great pop. What a machine.
	🛒 2:05pm egould: ↳ Song: "I Can't Tell What Truth Is Anymore" by "Andy Part... This dude can write such a great song.
	🛒 2:07pm dutchtheo: Hallo Unk and home stretchers
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Theo! How'a MVDP doing? Wait...no spoilers.
	2:10pm efd: checking in belatedly, I've been listening for most of the show but busy doing chores and not at my desk/laptop.
	🛒 2:10pm DjLorraine: ↳ adamdoesit @1:29 I'm pulling for kitty, best of luck.
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: efd! thanks for the check-in
	🛒 2:11pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Same Old Story" by "Bert Sommer" From Wikipedia: While Sommer continued to write songs, he received another offer. After being encouraged to audition by music producer Artie Ripp, he appeared as "Flatbush" of Kaptain Kool and the Kongs on The Krofft Supershow in 1976, but did not reprise the role in the second season. Guy had a rollercoaster ride of a career.
	2:12pm efd: Also I sliced open the top of my right middle finger last night on something in the recycling, so typing is a bit of a challenge!
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @2:11 he really did
	2:12pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @1:50 haha very kind, noted well. i'm down w/racing of any type ... especially auto racing so , it looks like we can still probably hang :-B (even w a tv present) :) reminds me that i've been neglecting GT7 ... must remedy over the "break" - also Starfield -- anyone playing Starfield? i've spent very little time on it so far (and i don't even have an xbox (only platform it's been released on and will remain so... )solution end up using my lappy and a M$"unlimited xbox "pass " but all hope is/was not lost, when i happened upon a great solution that i can just needed to buy a controller (since returned for a wireless one (arrives today)) can also play all ? most? xbox games (i care not -- am a Sony loyalist) lol @ finding that caliper Stardield - worth checking out... made by Bethesda (Fallout 4 creators)... he says hes been working on this more than twenty years or something. i'm expecting great things.... i've been wanting pretty much this exact game for decades. 🙂
	2:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ efd @2:12 What you'll go through for the sake of Hinky Dinky Time!
	2:13pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:12 THAT'S RIGHT!
	2:14pm spodiodi: apologies for thinking and typing abilities
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ efd @2:13 Put some ointment on that cut.
	2:16pm spodiodi: salves also help
	2:16pm efd: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:15 done! Ointment with band-aids on top so the ointment doesn't slather all over everything I touch (like my keyboard)
	🛒 2:17pm DjLorraine: ↳ efd @2:12 A wise man recently told me "accidents always happen". But they should not be happening to us doing the right thang.
	🛒 2:17pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:12 I picked up a Quest 3 V/R set with the hope I can find some good racing stuff. Probably could've researched it more, but its a business expense and needed to get it bought by the end of the year.
	2:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ spodiodi @2:16 unguent?
	2:18pm spodiodi: unction
	🛒 2:18pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:16 dr gorschel's is a local favorite
	2:19pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:17 sweet! good luck. i've been tampted by Sony's VR 2 thing... but have yet to try one
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: That Five Keys track started with the "Nutrocker" piano lick. Almost a holiday song tease.
	🛒 2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been all distractible ...but listening !...
	🛒 2:23pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:19 iRacing will run on a V/R headset, but I'd have to find out if I can run off-line. Some people take that stuff very seriously and I'd rather not mess up their fun.
	2:27pm spodiodi: my first impressive experience using vr was waaayyy back in ... a 1990 or 91?? at a technical symposium ,(was co-oping w/IBM at the time), where the guests were showing the vr on a movie screen.... and letting people try it... there was a model city (pretty sparsely detailed) back when polygons cost an arm and a leg one could fly over the city and down into its. very cool at the time to me
	2:29pm StringOFperils: Not like Kim Fowley never stole anything
	2:29pm dan: ↳ Song: "Version - Reggie Stepper (Digital Kulcha MML 1991... Sounds more like "One Fine Day" than "Nutrocker"
	2:30pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ spodiodi @2:27 I had access to a Silicon Graphics Indigo 2 and was a VRML programmer. A Blazing 250 MHz and real-time 3D rendering (but textures were very slow)
	2:30pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Another null in the coffin of that ELP schmaltz
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: yes, nutrocker; but also either chattanooga choo choo, or choo choo cha boogie
	🛒 2:31pm Phillippe: ↳ spodiodi @2:27 That would've been fun!
	2:33pm StringOFperils: Gold, Frankincense, Myrhh, and Lou Rawls. Very wise.
	2:34pm coelacanth∅: i've heard more xmas songs this year than in the combined past 40 years. and mostly absolute shit versions - "new versions". i almost can't hear them now.
	🛒 2:35pm egould: ↳ Song: "Little Drummer Boy" by "Lou Rawls" Parumppa pum pum. God I hate this song. Even as a kid I just did not like it. No problem with Lou Rawls. Just the song.
	2:35pm still b/p: Even when I was still pretty young, I had the sense that the Drummer Boy was just people jumping on the nativity and Christmas bandwagon with whatever extra shit they wanted to make up.
	2:35pm spodiodi: ↳ Phillippe @2:18 ? and i hear you on people taking it very seriously (i ran a dirty racing thing for a couple of years ( to avoid people taking things too seriously) --. (the type who get all bent when you scratch their cars ;)- and it's hella fun
	2:36pm Uncle Michael: I could go for some papadum right now.
	2:39pm StringOFperils: ↳ still b/p @2:35 I stand by the Lou Rawls. Go ahead, cross this line.
	2:41pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Need to shove off. Thoroughly enjoyed myself. Merry Christmas/ Happy Hollandaise Uncle Michael and all you dinkies.
	🛒 2:41pm egould: And 'Do You Hear What I Hear?' sucks too. Talking wind talks to a lamb. A lamb talks to a shepherd. Shepherd boy gets access to a King, convinces him to take silver and gold to baby Jesus. Then the King tells his subjects that they'll receive goodness and light? Hey pal, how about some silver and gold? The whole thing is patently stupid.
	2:41pm Uncle Michael: see ya, Oleh!
	2:44pm coelacanth∅: gotta take off Thanks UM! tchau
	2:44pm burke: Sorry I'm late! I streamed both Xmas HDT shows last night for relatives at dinner. Thanks!
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: ceo ya coel!
	2:45pm StringOFperils: ↳ egould @2:41 No shit. The whole business is a candy-coated bullshit sandwich. Buy more coffee, buy more tea, buy more sugar, buy more rubber, buy more flesh, buy these greeting cards, buy Mariah Carey, buy whatever they're selling next year. Lighten up, Morrisey. We live in a hologram inside a mirror. Whaddya gonna do? I still like Lou Rawls' voice, did I mention...
	2:45pm Uncle Michael: burke! Thanks!
	🛒 2:46pm egould: ↳ StringOFperils @2:45 Oh yeah Lou Rawls is great.
	2:46pm dan: ↳ Song: "I Can't See Nobody" by "The Marbles" Graham Bonnet is an underrated figure in the rock world
	🛒 2:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Jesus brings a prostitute to dinner ...he's the 'Light of the World' ...I do it & I'm 'making Thanksgiving awkward'...
	2:47pm Polyus: Okay but some of those songs he sang with Rainbow were a bummer.
	🛒 2:48pm egould: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Hahaha!
	2:48pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Ha ha ha. Comedy gold. Because it's true.
	2:49pm StringOFperils: Except the part about you and the nice lady. Maybe.
	2:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Lonely Just Like Me" by "Arthur Alexander" What a remarkable song. Sounded like he had very low expectations of finding love but Mary didn't let him push her away. I want to know more about Arthur Alexander. Another totally faboo show, UM. (I'd doing some deep cleaning of filthy radiators in this dump that I am staying in temporarily.) Happy Holidays, UM, and everyone!
	2:53pm Doug Schulkind: Such a pleasure to have the day off and get to hang out for the entirety of HDT.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, Marie!
	🛒 2:54pm egould: Thanks Uncle Michael. Happy Holidays everybody. Peace and goodwill, right? I think it's time for a glass of merlot.
	2:56pm bradford: Many thanks UM, happy holidays!
	🛒 2:56pm Phillippe: Thanks UM! Have a great Christmas! Peace and love, y'all!
	2:57pm asheville jon: Thanks UM
	🛒 2:57pm DjLorraine: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:47 Back then i think you were forced into 3 genres. Virgin, mother or prostitute. I've never seen any receipts from this scenario. She may have been his teacher. (Sorry, peace on earth)
	2:58pm StringOFperils: Definitely. Peace and goodwill. By some awesome miracle, please let it be. In the meantime, enjoy a day off or two and have some fun. Merry Christmas or whatever to you all! Thanks a lot UM!!
	🛒 2:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ UM ~
	2:58pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! great tunes, as always <3 happy everything, all! see you next time!
	2:59pm burke: Nobody can Lourawls it like Lou Rawls himself
	3:00pm Listener Robert: Yay!
	3:00pm Uncle Michael: thanks everyone!
