	12:18am → pacific standard simon: I'm getting that damn flask, so I can hide my whiskey bottle in the garden and fill it up for discrete swigging.
	12:18am → pacific standard simon: My wife will NEVER KNOW!
	12:19am → Skirkie: As someone who is already a flask owner, I must say that one can still run afoul of open container laws when carrying a flask.
	12:20am → BadGuyZero: How soon is now?
	12:20am → coalhard: West Virginia has new containment law--If you spill your vodka--put house shoe underneath it

	12:39am → pacific standard simon: ...and congestion from having your head up your ass.
	12:40am → coalhard: Where are all the super rich--when we need em--
	12:40am → Matt from Springfield: "Not that I'm making a threat or anything, but ice has a *way* of working its way underneath your feet..."
	12:41am → Matt from Springfield: And everything's more psychedelic when it looks Dutch--"shyips"!
	12:41am → BadGuyZero: Tjodd-o-Phjonic Tjodd!
	12:42am → Ken Frjom Hyde Park: Interesting
	12:45am → Matt from Springfield: And that can be made Norwegian--Tjødd-o-Fjönic Tjødd!
	12:45am → BadGuyZero: For future listening here's the link to Wooden Shjips on Therese's show: wfmu.org... Listen later. Pledge now! Pledge online at www.wfmu.org... Or phone it in at 800.989.9368
	12:48am → Andrew Waterloo: I got one letter for Swag For Life and it came with a guitar pic.
	12:51am → The Count of Al Dente: Sounds like Suicide. Ghost Rider perhaps?
	12:52am → coalhard: The good ship WFMU-has an outstanding captain at her helm--picking up survivors from other radio stations
	12:53am → Andrew Waterloo: Speaking of Heathers here's a cool tribute: www.pinterest.com...
	12:53am → Matt from Springfield: Indeed, coalhard!
	12:56am → KP: Ring, ring, why don't you give me a call? Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
	12:58am → BadGuyZero: Vitto's Mad Libs!
	12:59am → BadGuyZero: Sounds like a good time for a Billy Bragg tune.
	1:00am → Ken From Hyde Park: Therese, are you working the Dave Hill show on Tuesday?
	1:01am → coalhard: If I remember there was a shijp named TIT-ANTIC --had her breast plates exposed
	1:09am → Matt from Springfield: En-ye En-ye! The smooth squiggly over letters. Unless it's an En-ya, then it's just smooooooooth.
	1:10am → BadGuyZero: Ragnarok!
	1:12am → coalhard: The Viking end of days RAGNAROK -IS ABOUT TO PASS Whew!
	1:13am → Patrick: My favorite actress is Tilde Swiñton.
	1:13am → Matt from Springfield: @Patrick: Zing!
	1:15am → Matt from Springfield: :D Yes, all the pledgers are Matts, and bartenders (tending my *own* bar right now...)
	1:16am → Matt from Springfield: DREAM Pledges also very welcome!
	1:16am → BadGuyZero: Isn't Ambien the kind of music that Brian Eno makes? :rimshot:
	1:18am → pacific standard simon: You guys talk funny.
	1:18am → Matt from Springfield: I imagine taking Ambien while making music would result more in a sound collage than ambient, constanting hitting Record and Stop unaware of what you're putting on the track.
	1:20am → BadGuyZero: Sometimes I make bacon-wrapped hot dogs.
	1:21am → Whooda: Hi there groovie DJ hosts. Sorry for missing the first hour, been on the phone with sister to make arrangements for Mom. Therese, I've tossed the $10. spot your way, I had to choose only eight of about 20 DJ shows to support so I really mean it.
	1:23am → Matt from Springfield: Pledge for PERMANENCE! Pledge for TREASURE!!
	1:25am → Matt from Springfield: Welcome Whooda. Saw your comments on the Dusty Show--sorry to hear about your Mom. Always Remember, and Always Treasure.
	1:27am → Whooda: @Matt Thanks. I just learned that my sister and brother in law drove my mom's body from Kansas to Oklahoma in the back of their van...unembalmed in a body bag! No shit!
	1:30am → Matt from Springfield: Shit, now that's a time you don't want to get pulled over!
	1:30am → coalhard: I need a stiff drink now bartender over here!
	1:31am → Whooda: BTW, no "car pool lane" jokes....
	1:31am → Matt from Springfield: You heard the Staples Singers--give WFMU your dough, and then get BAKED! Recipe for a fun night! ;)
	1:32am → Matt from Springfield: @Whooda: Heh! @coalhard: I've got some nice rye whiskey, sending you some through the playlist! Who else would like one?
	1:33am → Whooda: I think the stiff wants one.
	1:34am → coalhard: I love WRY Whiskey
	1:35am → Matt from Springfield: That's what someone should do for a Halloween party, make a set of cocktails they call "stiff drinks"!
	1:36am → BadGuyZero: Therese is a fountain of accurate information.
	1:37am → Matt from Springfield: Young Christian Slater, back when he was trying to be "the next" Jack Nicholson. Listen to his lines in that film!
	1:37am → Patrick: Make sure the bartender's lively however, dead men sell no ales. (...I'm sorry about that.)
	1:39am → Matt from Springfield: Diet Cokeheads?!?
	1:39am → Whooda: :)
	1:39am → Matt F: Loved that last mini set, Therese. I know much less stuff from this later stax box than from the first, and I love having someone else pick the trax for me. Not having to decide what to listen to and instead letting other humans with good taste pick 'em is a big part of the reason why I give money to FMU every year.
	1:41am → Matt from Springfield: You nailed it, Fiveash! Thanks! Help out our wonderful "humans with good taste"!
	1:43am → Matt F: Todd- that's Bobby Bland's coke spoon in the stax museum, I'm pretty sure...
	1:43am → Patrick: 45% left for the supporting the finest 45 spinners around.
	1:43am → Matt F: it's inside the glass heel of some big pimpy platform shoes as I recall.
	1:44am → Matt F: "in case of emergency, break glass..."
	1:44am → Matt from Springfield: I'd be more interested in famous *users* of the coke spoon, not just the owner...
	1:46am → Matt from Springfield: Sharon Jones, Queen of Daps!
	1:48am → Todd-o-phonic Todd: Yeah, i remember those crazy shoes.
	1:49am → Todd-o-phonic Todd: Look...i hate to have to go public with this. But Therese is crying. Please pledge!
	1:51am → coalhard: Legalize pot in your state--PLENTY OF MONEY THERE
	1:53am → Matt from Springfield: "Odd Couple Sings" WHAT?!? :D
	1:54am → Matt from Springfield: We pledge, ergo Therese is!
	2:02am → P-90: It's like a Holy Effin Trinity or somethin in there
	2:13am → Caryn: Hello all! Just came to work. Will try to sneak in a peak at the Marathon action whenever I can.
	2:16am → Whooda: @Caryn another great avatar!
	2:16am → BadGuyZero: 'Friday Night Videos" was a treasure to those of us in small towns that didn't have MTV on their cable systems.
	2:16am → Matt from Springfield: Hi Caryn! (Psst..follow the Marathon at work, but quietly ;)
	2:17am → BadGuyZero: Is the deluxe "Fade" the LP or CD?
	2:20am → Whooda: Poor Harry having all those hot breaths breathing down his neck on the phone...Oh the pressure!
	2:23am → Caryn: Why thankee, Whooda! @Matt from S.: I brought bud earphones in and have them plugged in on low volume. I think everyone else would be fine with me listening except the boss, who I'm trying to keep from finding out I'm listening. BTW, I suspect Slater was not doing Nicholson as much as he was doing his dad, who just happens to be a professional Jack Nicholson impersonator.
	2:26am → KP: Caryn, hi
	2:26am → Whooda: Call Harry. He has the memory of an elephant!
	2:31am → Matt from Springfield: Bas from Utrecht!! Always a reliable supporter! :)
	2:32am → Bas NL: Happyhappyhappy!!!
	2:33am → Matt from Springfield: I Hate Music! What is it worth???
	2:33am → Matt from Springfield: YAY Bas!!
	2:33am → Bas NL: Hi Matt!
	2:33am → Matt F: Burn up the whole bullpen! There's no tomorrow!
	2:33am → BadGuyZero: I hate music. It has too many notes.
	2:35am → Matt from Springfield: BGZ: Too many notes, and not in the right order, either. FOH - "Friends of"...Hearty??
	2:36am → Caryn: Hi, KP!
	2:41am → Matt from Springfield: Hooray for familial support! When you're listening here, you're family! Pledge and help out!
	2:42am → Caryn: Yay, the boss is out of the office! Can listen in more freely!
	2:43am → Matt from Springfield: The truly cool, who never LEFT cassette culture! @Caryn: YEAAAAH!!(sorry, *yeaaaaah!*)
	2:45am → Matt from Springfield: Ooof! Joe D BURN!
	2:46am → Matt from Springfield: Oil SHAKES! Shake that Middle Eastern frozen dessert!
	2:48am → Caryn: Sadly, the oil sheiks seem to favour more mainstream music (and probably Clear Channel), at least if you consider who they pay millions to perform at their weddings and birthday parties. It's always someone like Beyonce or JLo, never Khlam or Yo La Tengo.
	2:49am → Caryn: But does anyone know what that WhatsApp guy listens to? He's got newly-acquired billions burning a hole in his pocket.
	2:52am → Steve-O: Alright.....great show tonight, Therese! Enjoy the rest of your week, and good luck! Warm regards, -Steve-O. =)
	3:00am → Matt from Springfield: Goooooo Therese! 76% is a great start, let's soar even higher next week! Thanks Therese, Todd-o-Phonic, Joe B, Ike, Harry, all the phone room people and volunteers: THANK YOU!
