5:43pm kat330:

Yo-ho-ho Doug and glenn! On early since I've free hands before meal making and eating. So a pirate's life tonight?

5:45pm Doug Schulkind:

Hiya kat330! You know what they say, free hands are the devils' playthings. Or something.

5:47pm Doug Schulkind:

Yep, I'll be DJing the plank tonight!

5:48pm glenn:

5:48pm kat330:

5:50pm Gary:

Happy Tuesday!

5:50pm glenn:

an interesting guy, to say the least. www.nytimes.com...

5:50pm kat330:

Love how the .gif is often in sync with this music, at least on my end.

5:51pm Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
You mean the John Bircher?

@katt330
I thought of grabbing a G&S track! But didn't.

@Happy Gary!

5:52pm glenn:

yep. that's him.

5:52pm kat330:

Our loss.

5:54pm Philo Gristle:

Yarrrr, Doug, and crew. Onto stranger tides.

5:54pm glenn:

5:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, Philo G!

5:55pm kat330:

Gristle, hunaja, you can hold fort and steer the ship now as I prepare our fine repast. :)

Oh, some 3 Penzance Opera mayhaps? (Jenny the Pirate)

5:56pm Jeff Golick:

Buc buc buc buckaw!

5:57pm ndbob:

evening Doug and everyone!

5:57pm Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
Jenny will make an appearance!

Hello ndbob!

5:59pm Matt from Springfield:

Parrrrrrrrrrrrrly!

Hiya Doug and Drummers! Let's attempt to rob crude oil vessels!

6:01pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey glenn, kat, Philo, Gary, Jeff and iNDiBob!

6:02pm Philo Gristle:

Curses! Ran out of rum. Some ale left to pillage. Hullo Bob and Matt!

6:03pm Matt from Springfield:

What the 'ale?!? Ahoy, Philo!

6:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Matt from Springburgh!

6:04pm Doug Schulkind:

And hello Jeff G(oldboig)!

6:04pm northguineahills:

Somehow, I'm here....

6:04pm Matt from Springfield:

Wooooo!! I LOVE this oldie gold(berg)ie about Pittsburgh! Thanks for digging this out!

6:05pm Aurélie E:

ow ok it's the baseball club

6:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Now we can shove off, NGH!

6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

You've got, it Aurélie E! You, dear islander, are the most likely of us to see pirates on the horizon!

6:07pm ndbob:

Hi matt philo ngh aurelie kat jeff glenn

6:07pm Aurélie E:

I can see the ocean from where I am (cooking outside) and the horizon is clear

6:08pm Philo Gristle:

Iffy connection here, so if we disappear, it wasn't Blackbeard... but those lousy Blackbirders from the Isle of ATT.

6:09pm Doug Schulkind:

What's for breakfast, Aurélie?!

6:09pm kat330:

Hey ndbob! Are you yet Indybob?

Yo, Matt! Just started a long reply to you this afternoon. Maybe I'll get it into the ether in the next couple of days. :)

6:10pm Matt from Springburgh:

@Doug: You move to Pittsburgh and the Pirates win? Ha! I can do you one better...

While in Thailand almost 3 years ago I went on a boat through the waters of the Golden Triangle (border between Thailand, Burma and Laos), ONLY the waters of Burma mind you, and DAYS later, Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest and the current transition towards democracy started. The junta is *that* afraid of me! ;)

6:11pm hyde:

needs more sea shanties

6:12pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Fantastic, take your time!
@Philo: I read kat's tumblr--AT&T is most certainly NOT where it's att, nowadays.

@Aurélie: How lovely! It's a nice autumn over here, but to cook outdoors while facing the ocean...AMAZING! :)

6:12pm Doug Schulkind:

@Matt from S
Yup, that tops a little baseball hijinx.

6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Hiya hyde!

6:13pm ndbob:

@kat I'm planning on being in Bloomington around the 15th - my apartment is read and waiting there!

6:14pm ndbob:

ready*

6:14pm kat330:

Great for the baseball team in P-burgh, but not so much for the vets at the VA hospital, eh?

6:14pm Aurélie E:

@doug I got to do the lunch for my nephew, my niece and my little bro, so I cook early traditional vegetables (yam, tarot, sweet potatoes) with a "poulet aux olives"

6:14pm Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: And yet, close as I live to the US Capitol and have walked by it, I haven't scared Congress into sanity yet! They're hard nuts to crack..or hard nuts on crack?? ;)

6:14pm northguineahills:

I can see the Upper New York Bay, the Hudson River, and the East River....Not as nice as the Coral Sea, Baie de Saint-Marie or Baie de Magenta...

6:16pm glenn:

oh matt. those insane moronic retards will never see reason.

6:16pm Matt from Springfield:

@Aurélie: Sounds interesting, and yummy! We'll just have to be satisfied with your nice profile pic for now!

6:17pm kat330:

Philo and I have done our duty as citizens writing to our Congressmen and begging for CO3: COnscience, COmpassion and COmmon sense.

6:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Can anyone see Russia from their backyard? No one?

6:17pm Philo Gristle:

I'm glad I'm not having a Burger that's the Pits, but rather some delish gourmelicious kat-food.

6:18pm Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: You're right, maybe if I and two other lunkheads go at them Three Stooges style (throw cherries in their mouths while speaking), lotsa good ideas from their manual of style...

6:18pm Aurélie E:

@northguineahills hahahaha yeah I'm in the north area of Nouméa, so It's kind of a peninsula
@matt thanks !

6:18pm Jeff Golick:

I was told there'd be pie...?

6:19pm glenn:

i can see little malta from my backyard. maybe pastizzi could be the official pirate pastry.

6:19pm Matt from Springfield:

Yes, but you have to fill out a survey, and rate it first, Jeff.

6:19pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
The Pirates have an outfield on the team named Felix Pie.

6:20pm kat330:

Yes!!!! :> Thanks, Doug!

6:20pm Matt from Springfield:

@glenn: A *Maltese* community, in Canada? Really? Holy Ethnosociology, glenn!!!

6:21pm Matt from Springfield:

Wild guess: this is Brecht?

6:21pm Doug Schulkind:

This Nina Simone performance comes from a live show in London, her first after her suicide attempt. Her agent and friends begged her not to do the show. If I recall correctly.

6:22pm kat330:

Yep, Matt (she typed with greasy fingers)!

6:22pm Doug Schulkind:

This track is worthy of at least one pledge to the silent fundraiser!

6:22pm glenn:

en.wikipedia.org...

6:23pm kat330:

I would have loved for Ms. Simone to have done theatrical productions -- clearly well-suited.

6:23pm Matt from Springfield:

Yeah, I think I've heard Nina sing this specific song on FMU before, but I think she's done other Brecht besides ("Alabama Song", perhaps).

6:24pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Give us a hint, what's the kat-food tonight? :)

6:25pm glenn:

actually, the prime minister of malta was here on saturday to dedicate malta park.

6:26pm ndbob:

@glenn never had a pastizzi but my friends from Malta told me about them

6:26pm Matt from Springfield:

Croatians? Check :)
Macedonians? Check :)
MALTESE? Check! :)

That's gotta be the best European diversity I've heard of in a North American neighborhood! Awesome that their PM visited too.

6:26pm Doug Schulkind:

Nina was actually a supremely talented pianist. Like Nat King Cole, sadly, her record labels expressly forbade her from playing the piano because they wanted to establish her as solely a singing star. Idiots.

6:27pm kat330:

@Matt: Well, greasy is not really an accurate hint. I should have said messy, but only because I started typing before I got to a napkin.
Basmati rice, with medallions of pork loin, carrots and brussels sprouts. Oooh, that last bit has a nice photo to go along. I'll have Philo post that link!

6:27pm glenn:

pastizzi are the shit.

6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

Without Googling, who knows where Lake Titicaca is?

6:29pm Philo Gristle:

Brussels Sprout: bit.ly...

6:29pm ndbob:

That sounds pretty interesting Glenn

6:29pm glenn:

www.blogto.com...

6:29pm ndbob:

peru

6:29pm Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: BOLIVIA (Newton John)!

6:30pm glenn:

hmmm. i would have said peru, too.

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Titicaca is one of the most fun words to announce on the FCC-rules airwaves.

6:31pm northguineahills:

I've never heard of anyone w/ Maltese ancestry. A new one for me.

6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Bolivia is correct. So is Perú!

6:31pm glenn:

where's that picture from, philo? i swear to gd that's an old toronto streetcar.

6:32pm Matt from Springfield:

Hey, that's a Brussels sprite, Philo! :)
And the food sounds yummy! Similar to the pork tikka masala?

(Now THAT is a great one--whether masala or marsala, pork goes good as a fill-in for other dishes)

6:32pm glenn:

oh. duh. brussels.

6:32pm Philo Gristle:

@glenn Kat took it in Brussels!

6:33pm ndbob:

I know about a dozen people from Malta - was just chatting with a couple actually

6:33pm kat330:

glenn, I took it as a teen on my first backpacking trip around Europe (in 1970). Do the math.

6:35pm glenn:

i'm surrounded by them. apparently one of my neighbours played trumpet with oscar peterson for years. unfortunately, he died a few months back.

6:35pm Matt from Springfield:

This is cool Doug--is this from South Africa?

6:35pm kat330:

@Matt: Nope no masala sauce, but I did put a few dashes of ponzu to "refreshen" what was grilled the night before.

6:35pm Doug Schulkind:

Yep, it was, Matt.

6:36pm Artie:

What is the Somalian equivalent of the narco corrida craze?

6:37pm Doug Schulkind:

I made a nice chana masala last night, but I forget the amchoor powder. #mortified

6:37pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Artie! I would be too scared to play that shit.

6:38pm northguineahills:

@Aurélie E:Must be in the highlands to have that view. Jealous.

I'm stuck w/ my view from my office, not b/c of any hilly terrain :(

@Doug: , ahhh, Pirates, I was going to inquire about the Pittsburgh relevance.... (I can be slow).

6:38pm kat330:

Mmm, Doug, nice despite?

6:38pm Matt from Springfield:

@Artie: Probably message-heavy digital recordings uploaded on the Net by Somalis and expats. Not as big as Mexican narco but I'm sure there's an audience for Somali pirate songs.

6:39pm ndbob:

@Doug not sure what amchoor power is but I'd bet I'd like it

6:39pm Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: That's currently trending very high on Twitter's #MasalaFoul feed.
@NDBob: If it's part of masala, I'm sure I would as well.

6:40pm Uncle Michael:

I'm calling for some Bing!

6:40pm glenn:

here comes barbara manning, i bet.

6:41pm hyde:

"They give you a round bat and they throw you a round ball and they tell you to hit it square." --Willie Stargell

6:41pm glenn:

6:42pm kat330:

@ndbob: Hope you are prepared and fortified against Indiana's totally regressive political leadership, esp. WRT Obama's Affordable Care Act? When I was growing up here, it was NOT so backward-thinking. After all, Lee Hamilton ruled our district for so many good Hoosier years.

6:43pm Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
I almost went with Der Bingle.

@glenn
Nope, no Barbara Manning, though that would be a-OK.

6:43pm northguineahills:

My fave story of a perfect game!

6:44pm northguineahills:

I mean a no-hitter....

6:44pm Doug Schulkind:

Amchoor powder is made from dried unripe green mangoes.

6:44pm Philo Gristle:

In the spirit of October, to me any Pittsburgh team should be the Zombies...

6:45pm kat330:

Are there unripe mangoes of a different color? ;)

6:46pm glenn:

there's about 4ooo different kinds of mangoes.

6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

Good point, kat!

6:46pm Matt from Springfield:

Their suburban AA affiliate can be called the New Romero Zombies...

6:47pm Doug Schulkind:

Dig this salsa homage to Roberto Clemente!

6:47pm ndbob:

@kat Yep I am - it's really regressive in ND right now actually - and I will be getting insurance through the ACA

6:47pm Uncle Michael:

Bing once owned a piece of the Pirates.

6:47pm glenn:

4 HUNDRED sorry.

6:47pm hyde:

@glenn and practically all we get in the states are those terrible fibrous ones (though the champagne mangoes are available now)

6:48pm hyde:

@Doug Roberto Clemente was my favorite player as a kid

6:48pm Matt from Springfield:

I imagine unripe mangoes could be white, or yellow.
Ripe mangoes probably have the whole range of reddish tones.

6:48pm kat330:

400 or 4000 -- are any varieties other than green when unripe? ;)

6:48pm glenn:

mangoworldmagazine.blogspot.ca...

how great is it that there's a mango world magazine?

6:49pm ndbob:

@Kat I read about the appalling way they "handled" the medicaid provision of the act

6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

From Bing Crosby's Wikipedia entry:

"From 1946 until the end of his life, he was part-owner of baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates. Although he was passionate about his team, he was too nervous to watch the deciding Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, choosing to go to Paris with Kathryn and listen to the game on the radio."

6:49pm glenn:

i like the yellow atalfi mangoes, myself.

6:50pm Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Jesse Kaminsky is having computer trouble and I may have to cover for him for a while. Any general requests?

6:50pm Matt from Springfield:

4,000 pounds of mangoes, all littering the streets of Pittsburgh...

6:50pm northguineahills:

I miss fresh mangos in FL. That and citrus. ..and other fruits and veggies. that's it, I'm sure....

!mas Clemente!

6:50pm kat330:

@ndbob: Yes, it's truly evil. And they are forcing ACA navigators to pay fees and meet all sorts of requirements, just trying to make it impossible for residents to get the help needed. I SO WANT TO MOVE FROM HERE!!

6:51pm northguineahills:

Never heard Hector do this song before.....

6:51pm Philo Gristle:

I want some gooseberries, myself. Just sayin'

6:51pm ndbob:

@kat Where do you want to move to?

6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

I would play some gooseberries if I could fit them in the CD player, Philo.

6:52pm Philo Gristle:

And Doug, that WAS a request. Unfillable, unfortunately. HA!

6:52pm kat330:

We'll have some raspberries tonight, hunaja.

6:52pm Orquesta de Una:

More Hector del Valle - beautiful!

6:53pm Matt from Springfield:

@Philo: When the SnackuPlaylist™ finally rolls out, we'll be able to exchange such snacks over the comment boards! :)

6:53pm kat330:

@ndbob: Well, probably not North Dakota! ;) Anywhere were common sense prevails. Does that place exist?

6:53pm glenn:

hunaja = pooky in finnish.

6:54pm kat330:

@glenn: I was told it was honey. Hunajapupu is "honey bunny." :)

6:54pm Monica:

hola, doug! like that sly quote of "by the beautiful sea" in this Orquesta la Solución track!

6:54pm Matt from Springfield:

BTW Philo...at World Market store the other day, I noticed some (Swedish) rye crisps packs! Not Finnish, but that's the first time I've seen that type of food sold around here!

Eggsactly, glenn!

6:55pm glenn:

yasou, omorfi monica.

6:55pm Philo Gristle:

@Glenn Yup, if not literal. Lateral.

6:55pm kat330:

I don't want to think of what a "pupu" platter is in Helsinki!

6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Hello Monica! That was thrilling #agreed!

6:56pm ndbob:

@Kat ND actually is really nice in many ways - just not politically - I needed a dolly yesterday to move some things - the guy at the U-Haul rented one to me - didn't even ask me name let alone have me fill out paperwork

6:56pm Uncle Michael:

World Market is weird. I never think to go there...but when I happen in, there's always several amazing grocery items to buy.

6:56pm ndbob:

my*

6:56pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug as always!

6:57pm Philo Gristle:

@Matt WASA brand rye crisps in local stores.Also recently meijer started carrying caraway seeded Finncrisps. Used to have those imported every Christmas. Yum.

6:57pm hyde:

good night and good luck

6:57pm Matt from Springfield:

@UM: I go there mainly for their coffees and in-store grinder (I needed to restock this weekend), and I also love the surprising variety of foodstuffs you can find.

6:58pm Philo Gristle:

Great show, Doug, gooseberries or no! Nighty night.

6:58pm kat330:

@ndbob: Oh, they'll be that way around here, too. Again, you have our email, so let us know when you're settled. You'll be there for beautiful fall colors!

6:58pm kat330:

Thanks, Doug, and have kauniita unia, hunajapupus! :)

6:58pm ndbob:

@kat will do!

6:59pm Matt from Springfield:

Have a good one, Philo and "Honey Cabbit"! :) Sweet dreams!

7:00pm ndbob:

Bye for now everyone!

7:00pm hyde:

woohoo, bonus request time. how about some gutbucket honky tonk with fiddle and pedal steel? (though the "same old crap" is also totally fine as always).

7:01pm kat330:

G&S Pirates!

7:02pm Matt from Springfield:

Virgil Anderson!
Peace out, Doug and Drummers! Thanks!

7:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
Any particular track you prefer?

7:02pm Monica:

right back atchaa, glenn! great shoo, doug!

7:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks Mo!

7:04pm Doug Schulkind:

Here's Rex Stewart with "The Little Goose"

7:06pm northguineahills:

G'dnite, Doug, Monica, Matt, Kat, Philo, hyde, ndbob, UM, glenn, orquesta de una, y aurélie!

7:07pm Doug Schulkind:

Seeya, ngh!

5:31pm kat330:

Hey, Doug! Came back to star the Simone recalling I'd forgotten to do so and saw your question post-departure. Hm, I suppose "With cat-like tread, ..." seems the obvious, but still have to go with the show's "hit" of "I am the very model of a modern Major-General"! :)
