	3:11pm Cheri Pi: Fawbs.
	3:13pm tim from champaign: I'm seeing the Nakatani Gong Orchestra tonight. I'm stoked. Doubly so because my wife will be playing in the gong orchestra. She said the practice last night was a lot of fun.

	3:19pm Tome: Hey Fab !! Hey Kiddles !!
	3:19pm tim from champaign: Cool. I'm looking forward to it, DCE. It's happening in the main gallery of the campus art museum. The sound is fantastic there. I hope Nakatani has merch of the vinyl kind with him

	3:39pm nic: ah it was Bionulor _ DCHMP_GREAT!!
	3:43pm steve: last week's STF was the most epic moment of the whole marathon... it was like a rollercoaster
	👻 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Steve speaks truth.
	👻 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ........and, very much dig this.
	3:45pm DCE: we're very lucky to have Turman living amongst us in NE OH
	3:49pm sdfjones: Muy psychedelico!
	3:51pm Lulu: this sounds good in my ears
	3:53pm DCE: is that Bogart?
	3:53pm Cuspidor: Tehachapi
	3:54pm Bjornscht: Brakhage made Maltese Falcon?
	3:54pm Jonathan Herweg: The app doesn't let me sign in with my Wfmu profile ... Sounding good .. It's getting me through background holding with a bunch of morons ..
	3:54pm dc pat: yeah, Bogart...tryin' to remember which one...
	3:55pm DCE: he was so great
	3:56pm dc pat: oh yeah, duh. Maltese Falcon.
	3:57pm Fuzzy: Well now...
	3:58pm sam: Ah yes, the famed maltese bippy
	4:01pm Chris from DC: D'oh, missed the Vocokesh.
	4:01pm tom: wouldn't it have been great if bogey did an audio book… maybe war and peace
	4:01pm kat330: Chopin Prelude in C-minor I do believe.
	4:02pm nic: love this
	4:02pm Cecile: Fabi-YO, all.
	4:03pm davis: yes also done by yann tonita called caroline playing chopin and crying i believe
	4:05pm Cecile: Chiming in to agree with how epic the show last week was. Making 100% playing experimental free-form noise is a major testament to you and Clay.
	4:05pm Bjornscht: She's about to get on the elevator
	4:07pm dc pat: Bogart should have done Moby Dick.
	4:07pm dc pat: ...wait, that didn't sound right. If Bogey would have done an audio book, it should have been Moby Dick.
	4:08pm tim from champaign: Who's on the $1000 bill?
	👻 4:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: damn, bit of an instant meeting, & the Vocokesh snuck in there...
	4:10pm still b/p: Some of my favorite Maltese Falcon lines are whacked ones from Sydney Greenstreet: "Talking's something you can't do judiciously unless you keep in practice. Now, sir. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out. I'm a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk."
	4:10pm Bjornscht: Donj't forget Ward Bond and Elisha Cook
	4:11pm kat330: One of my fave Huston film is "The Man Who Would Be King."
	4:11pm Cecile: mine too, kat330.
	4:13pm Robert: I haven't seen the whole movie, but I've read the novel, and all that funny stuff is verbatim from the novel.
	4:14pm kat330: And "The Night Of The Iguana," too, of course.
	4:15pm Cecile: I've never seen that one, but I love Prizzi's Honor - surprisingly true to the book.
	4:15pm tom: reflections in a golden eye
	4:17pm Whooda: Thanks for the show today DJ Fabio. And also the typewriter stylings of the commenters.
	4:17pm Cecile: I have never seen Violent Saturday, but it's a hell of a book.
	4:18pm dc pat: oh man, Night of the Iguana--gotta be one Burton's best films
	4:19pm Cecile: Ill Wind by WL Heath (Violent Saturday author) is also an excellent book.
	4:21pm Robert: I've also read that nearly all of that version of "The Maltese Falcon" was verbatim from Hammet's novel, and that the earlier & later films of it were more loosely adapted. The interesting thing everybody notes is that there's never been a movie adapt'n of "Red Harvest" by that name.
	4:22pm still b/p: Night of the Iguana has really good moments. And...ohhhhh, Ava. And Ava's maraca-playing household accessories -- the always-on-call, shirtless boy-toys -- are a laugh.
	4:22pm steve: Je'Taime Je'Taime - had to write a paper on that in college... cool movie, i remember thinking it was kinda David Lynchian.
	4:23pm Clay: Just chiming in to say thanks for your pledges last week during STF and TDS. What a fun time it was! I wish it were Marathon 24/7. All right, Fab. I'm heading over there soon. On-air chest bump in order! Pidge
	4:23pm dc pat: mmm, Ava....
	4:23pm tim from champaign: Froggy went a courtin'?
	4:24pm DCE: it's funny how you can read Clay's post and then just hear the voice...
	👻 4:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: is that like a "socialist fist-bump," pigeon?
	4:25pm kat330: Iguana gives you blokes Ava, BUT TMWWBK gives us gals Connery AND Caine -- double bang for the buck.
	4:26pm Clay: Rev. --- It is in the tradition of the Barack/Michelle terrorist fist bump. Definitely inspired by that!
	4:26pm Cecile: ITA!
	4:27pm Clay: I'm at work. Must return to work ...... work ..... work ..... 15 more minutes and then I am FREEEEEEEEEEEEform.
	4:27pm kat330: Hey, Clay!
	4:28pm still b/p: "double bang for the buck" Please do not feed straight lines to the comment board.
	4:29pm Clay: katwomandu! Indiana wants me ...
	4:29pm dc pat: what's wrong with Richard Burton??
	4:30pm kat330: Figure I should return the favor once in a while. The extra fun of Connery in TMWWBK is his playing the "dumb blond" role.
	👻 4:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AW MAN, so the "she was a visitor" thing was Ashley as well? I've loved the jabbering HELL out of this piece every time it comes up. Not terribly familiar with Robert A.'s material, didn't connect... waah..
	4:30pm dc pat: speakin' a' which: anybody ever see Candy? where Burton plays a poet with wind constantly blowing in his long hair? funny.
	4:31pm DCE: well he is dead, dcp
	4:31pm kat330: @dc pat: Never been a big Burton fan myself.
	4:32pm Cecile: and he and Caine have such a marvelous, natural rapport.
	4:32pm kat330: I saw Candy, yep. It was required viewing in my generation.
	👻 4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: aaah, DCP, I'm a huge fan of Terry Southern's books. Never saw the film of Candy...
	4:34pm dc pat: you should check it out Rev. Funny with all the stars in it. Walter Matthau and John Astin are hilarious.
	4:35pm dc pat: "if that doesn't make you proud to be an American, as far as I'm concerned, you've got spit for blood..."
	4:35pm kat330: We just watched Rip Torn in "Payday" on Sunday. While watching I realized how there is such an immediate recognition of films in that era. Something about the cinematography, dialogue and, of course, always a couple of scenes of bared female breasts.
	4:36pm common: ah man, definately watch candy and the magic christian, rev!
	4:36pm dc pat: Payday, huh....
	4:38pm Cecile: the magic christian is pretty hilarious, and Ringo is great in it.
	4:38pm Cecile: and one of the best theme songs ever!!!
	4:38pm kat330: Ahh, the household's film maestro, Philo, just walked in the door, home from a grueling day at the drawing board (literally).
	4:39pm dc pat: Matthau: "Were they Albanians?." Astin: "no Mexicans, I think." Matthau: "Mexicans, Albanians, damn near interchangeable!"
	4:39pm kat330: Yes, a gem of a pop song.
	4:39pm northguineahills: "The horse's face is stupid...."
	4:40pm kat330: Hey, I resemble that Albanian remark as, in fact, I'm a New Albanian.
	4:40pm still b/p: Speaking of films very much of their period -- saw a promo for a showing of Shampoo coming up. Have watched it, but never could get very enthusiastic about the picture despite the....lather it seems to have created.
	4:41pm distracted by the words: So good thanks!
	4:41pm Bjornscht: Requiescat, Mr. Ashley. This is reminding me of those video interviews he used to do with fellow luminaries...Terry Riley sitting in a beach chair by a spring freshet.
	👻 4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yeh, I adore the film of The Magic Christian. Didn't realize John Astin was in Candy (he was the One True Gomez, after all) -- a spiritual hero of mine...
	4:42pm dc pat: Hey I watched your countrymen Dimitrov play tennis the other day--he's got a mean one-hand backhand.
	4:43pm dc pat: Exactly Rev. He was the master at Gomez.
	4:43pm Cecile: I saw Shampoo and loved it. It's a very low-key movie and pretty unflinching its appraisal of the Warren Beatty character.
	4:43pm kat330: @dc pat: Spoiler alert: the female breasts in that era were REAL. I gather those breasts au naturel disappoint Generation X and beyond.
	4:43pm common: love gomez. also love: "one hot doggie you shall havie!"
	4:44pm Cecile: I saw it as an adult, though. I think I would have been disappointed if I had seen it as a teen.
	4:44pm common: i took my name from a line in the magic christian: "What we need here is a little common zen savvy."
	4:45pm Carmichael: Hey, every person. John Astin was funny in everything he did. Just the look on his face, before saying any lines. Have you seen the TV movie Evil Roy Slade?
	4:46pm dc pat: Maybe but I missed the gen x boat...
	4:46pm dc pat: Evil Roy Slade: "GET THAT SHOE ON!!"
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Named my boy after his Gomez (the boy behind the tongue).
	4:47pm Carmichael: "Stubby index finger, tappin' out the code ...."
	4:47pm dc pat: alright, getting out of here. Gotta go cook.. Adios, Fab, all...
	4:48pm Cecile: bye, pat!
	4:48pm kat330: It's a John Astin lovefest -- whooda thunk!
	4:49pm Philo Gristle: John Astin... Robert Ashley... John Ashley! Hello.
	4:51pm Milson: Is this Robert Ashley's NWW list?
	4:51pm Cecile: Robert Ashley: the original whisper karaoke
	4:51pm tim from champaign: Is Evil Roy Slade related to Big John Slade from Kentucky Fried Movie?
	4:52pm kat330: I'd pay to see someone do karaoke justice to these Ashley tracks.
	4:52pm steve: my fav Ashley has got to be The Wolfman, followed by In Sara, Mencken
	4:53pm Cecile: bryce should do one for Hoof and Mouth.
	4:55pm northguineahills: Well, Automatic Writing was supposed to record him in his sleep an recreate hypnogagia sonically.
	4:55pm kat330: Wonder what criteria he used to compile this list.
	4:57pm david_: Mary Wollstonecraft...
	4:57pm Cecile: James Branch Cabell shoutout!
	4:58pm still b/p: John Astin moment: West Side Story -- the guy at the dance in the gym encouraging Jets and Sharks to "make new friends." "Tonight, boys and girls, we're gonna do something special: we're gonna have a 'get together' dance!"
	4:58pm david_: A loaf of bread... a container of milk... a stick of butter...
	4:59pm Whooda: @Common, sadly my library system does not hold either "Candy" or "The Good Christian". Normally they have what I search for. :(
	4:59pm Milson: oh sh*t...
	5:00pm paula pc: never not scary, even after hearing zillions of times...
	5:01pm nic: I LOVE THIS_I LOVE ASHELY
	5:01pm Cecile: yeah. this is so creepy.
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Whooda: that would be The Magic Christian -- also worthy is the short story collection "red dirt marijuana & other tastes"
	5:02pm Whooda: @Rev Turnip. The "Magic" Christian. Got it, thanks.
	5:03pm dale: it sounds like rosemary's baby down at the docks!
	5:03pm Carmichael: @Tim: I barely remember Kentucky Fried Movie, but Evil Roy Slade was the meanest outlaw on earth. Unitl he fell in love ....
	5:04pm Philo Gristle: I was thinking it was Col. Mortimer's pocketwatch...
	5:05pm Milson: Be interesting to mix this in with "Hamburger Lady." Anyone desensitized enough to try this? Station Manager Ken?
	5:05pm Philo Gristle: @Carm I thought Bad Bob the Albino was the meanest outlaw on Earth...
	5:05pm kat330: Do I hear a sperm whale?
	5:05pm david_: gulp
	5:05pm map: Noooooo!
	5:05pm dale: this is getting awkward for me, too.
	5:06pm Whooda: Another period funny Astin movie is "Brothers O'Toole".
	5:07pm V Priceless: sperm whale or chorus of walrus!
	5:07pm still b/p: Revulsion response test.
	5:07pm steve: this is making me nauseous. truly revolting.
	5:08pm dale: was evil roy slade the movie with the telegraph operator with the stumpy finger? he had his own song i recall
	5:08pm Milson: I'm never going to the dentist...
	5:15pm Milson: Teasing aside, remarkable compositions... Thanks Fabio for assembling this selection.
	5:17pm Milson: David Tudor?
	5:19pm Carmichael: Yes, Dale. The Pinkerton agent, played by Mickey Rooney, had been chasing Evil Roy for years. He tapped the morse code out until his index finger was a stump. He insisted a folk song was written about him. Later in the movie, you can hear a guy around the fire strumming a guitar, singing "Stubby Index Finger".
	5:19pm Whooda: @Milson I remember the dentist in the early 80's who, after his female patients were 'under' would help himself to a BJ from the unconsious patient in the chair. At the time I wore a found button that read, "My reputation rests in your mouth". My boss thouht that was pretty funny (he was a old gay man).
	5:30pm Cecile: I always worry about that woman in the Robert Ashley piece when I hear that. I wonder what happened to her.
	👻 5:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ................nice.
	5:34pm Cecile: this is a really beautiful piece.
	5:37pm kat330: Was in the kitchen for several there, but yes, this is nice.
	5:46pm Cecile: nice vibe you're creating for winding down the work day.
	5:47pm V Priceless: i hear Mellotron!
	5:48pm Madoo: Hi, did I miss a dentally themed song? Just tuned in. Was away for a month in Southeast Asia (!). Missed the show and the board. I return to no job (had to quit). Jetlag sux.
	5:51pm Bjornscht: trillion manifestations
	5:51pm kat330: 36 million manifestations?
	5:51pm kirk from beer city usa: 36 trillion manifestations!
	5:52pm kat330: I meant TRILLION, arrrggh.
	5:52pm kirk from beer city usa: I'd like to point out that we all posted that at the same exact moment in time
	5:53pm Cecile: I'm here til 5:30 today. :(
	5:53pm bloopy: the clay and fabio vibe
	5:53pm Andrew Waterloo: loved the Bohren!
	5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Frequent commenter hit parade
	5:54pm northguineahills: mind blown, above....
	👻 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: One commenter here, but I'm good for at least three hundred personalities (600+ with coffee)
	5:54pm dale: THAT'S the song, carmichael - thanks!
	5:55pm Stanley: Wasn't there a show in the past that we exceeded 1000 comments?
	5:55pm kat330: Yeah, but the noosphere let me down a thousand thousandfold.
	5:56pm dale: go over by the greyhound station, clay
	5:56pm northguineahills: I know Ken's show has once exceeded 1000 comments.
	5:56pm Cecile: yeah, stanley, it was a triumvirate battle.
	5:56pm Bjornscht: Under the Queensboro was the hot zone
	5:57pm Ike: Some eminent entity has SUMMONED ME! I rise from the murk!
	5:57pm northguineahills: The motel a block from my apt used to consist of almost nothing but prostitutes (8 years ago). Now, it's not as visible if it still goes on
	5:57pm Carmichael: We all pay for it, my psyche says.
	5:57pm Bjornscht: 2nd Ave by Gowanus too
	2:44pm edondero: OK, so what is the movie in which Walter Matthau asks, "Are they Albanians?" and when informed that they are Mexicans, he says something like,"Albanians ... Mexicans ... What's the difference?"

	4:23pm Clay: Just chiming in to say thanks for your pledges last week during STF and TDS. What a fun time it was! I wish it were Marathon 24/7. All right, Fab. I'm heading over there soon. On-air chest bump in order! Pidge
	4:23pm dc pat: mmm, Ava....
	4:23pm tim from champaign: Froggy went a courtin'?
	4:24pm DCE: it's funny how you can read Clay's post and then just hear the voice...
	👻 4:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: is that like a "socialist fist-bump," pigeon?
	4:25pm kat330: Iguana gives you blokes Ava, BUT TMWWBK gives us gals Connery AND Caine -- double bang for the buck.
	4:26pm Clay: Rev. --- It is in the tradition of the Barack/Michelle terrorist fist bump. Definitely inspired by that!
	4:26pm Cecile: ITA!
	4:27pm Clay: I'm at work. Must return to work ...... work ..... work ..... 15 more minutes and then I am FREEEEEEEEEEEEform.
	4:27pm kat330: Hey, Clay!
	4:28pm still b/p: "double bang for the buck" Please do not feed straight lines to the comment board.
	4:29pm Clay: katwomandu! Indiana wants me ...
	4:29pm dc pat: what's wrong with Richard Burton??
	4:30pm kat330: Figure I should return the favor once in a while. The extra fun of Connery in TMWWBK is his playing the "dumb blond" role.
	👻 4:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AW MAN, so the "she was a visitor" thing was Ashley as well? I've loved the jabbering HELL out of this piece every time it comes up. Not terribly familiar with Robert A.'s material, didn't connect... waah..
	4:30pm dc pat: speakin' a' which: anybody ever see Candy? where Burton plays a poet with wind constantly blowing in his long hair? funny.
	4:31pm DCE: well he is dead, dcp
	4:31pm kat330: @dc pat: Never been a big Burton fan myself.
	4:32pm Cecile: and he and Caine have such a marvelous, natural rapport.
	4:32pm kat330: I saw Candy, yep. It was required viewing in my generation.
	👻 4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: aaah, DCP, I'm a huge fan of Terry Southern's books. Never saw the film of Candy...
	4:34pm dc pat: you should check it out Rev. Funny with all the stars in it. Walter Matthau and John Astin are hilarious.
	4:35pm dc pat: "if that doesn't make you proud to be an American, as far as I'm concerned, you've got spit for blood..."
	4:35pm kat330: We just watched Rip Torn in "Payday" on Sunday. While watching I realized how there is such an immediate recognition of films in that era. Something about the cinematography, dialogue and, of course, always a couple of scenes of bared female breasts.
	4:36pm common: ah man, definately watch candy and the magic christian, rev!
	4:36pm dc pat: Payday, huh....
	4:38pm Cecile: the magic christian is pretty hilarious, and Ringo is great in it.
	4:38pm Cecile: and one of the best theme songs ever!!!
	4:38pm kat330: Ahh, the household's film maestro, Philo, just walked in the door, home from a grueling day at the drawing board (literally).
	4:39pm dc pat: Matthau: "Were they Albanians?." Astin: "no Mexicans, I think." Matthau: "Mexicans, Albanians, damn near interchangeable!"
	4:39pm kat330: Yes, a gem of a pop song.
	4:39pm northguineahills: "The horse's face is stupid...."
	4:40pm kat330: Hey, I resemble that Albanian remark as, in fact, I'm a New Albanian.
	4:40pm still b/p: Speaking of films very much of their period -- saw a promo for a showing of Shampoo coming up. Have watched it, but never could get very enthusiastic about the picture despite the....lather it seems to have created.
	4:41pm distracted by the words: So good thanks!
	4:41pm Bjornscht: Requiescat, Mr. Ashley. This is reminding me of those video interviews he used to do with fellow luminaries...Terry Riley sitting in a beach chair by a spring freshet.
	👻 4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yeh, I adore the film of The Magic Christian. Didn't realize John Astin was in Candy (he was the One True Gomez, after all) -- a spiritual hero of mine...
	4:42pm dc pat: Hey I watched your countrymen Dimitrov play tennis the other day--he's got a mean one-hand backhand.
	4:43pm dc pat: Exactly Rev. He was the master at Gomez.
	4:43pm Cecile: I saw Shampoo and loved it. It's a very low-key movie and pretty unflinching its appraisal of the Warren Beatty character.
	4:43pm kat330: @dc pat: Spoiler alert: the female breasts in that era were REAL. I gather those breasts au naturel disappoint Generation X and beyond.
	4:43pm common: love gomez. also love: "one hot doggie you shall havie!"
	4:44pm Cecile: I saw it as an adult, though. I think I would have been disappointed if I had seen it as a teen.
	4:44pm common: i took my name from a line in the magic christian: "What we need here is a little common zen savvy."
	4:45pm Carmichael: Hey, every person. John Astin was funny in everything he did. Just the look on his face, before saying any lines. Have you seen the TV movie Evil Roy Slade?
	4:46pm dc pat: Maybe but I missed the gen x boat...
	4:46pm dc pat: Evil Roy Slade: "GET THAT SHOE ON!!"
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Named my boy after his Gomez (the boy behind the tongue).
	4:47pm Carmichael: "Stubby index finger, tappin' out the code ...."
	4:47pm dc pat: alright, getting out of here. Gotta go cook.. Adios, Fab, all...
	4:48pm Cecile: bye, pat!
	4:48pm kat330: It's a John Astin lovefest -- whooda thunk!
	4:49pm Philo Gristle: John Astin... Robert Ashley... John Ashley! Hello.
	4:51pm Milson: Is this Robert Ashley's NWW list?
	4:51pm Cecile: Robert Ashley: the original whisper karaoke
	4:51pm tim from champaign: Is Evil Roy Slade related to Big John Slade from Kentucky Fried Movie?
	4:52pm kat330: I'd pay to see someone do karaoke justice to these Ashley tracks.
	4:52pm steve: my fav Ashley has got to be The Wolfman, followed by In Sara, Mencken
	4:53pm Cecile: bryce should do one for Hoof and Mouth.
	4:55pm northguineahills: Well, Automatic Writing was supposed to record him in his sleep an recreate hypnogagia sonically.
	4:55pm kat330: Wonder what criteria he used to compile this list.
	4:57pm david_: Mary Wollstonecraft...
	4:57pm Cecile: James Branch Cabell shoutout!
	4:58pm still b/p: John Astin moment: West Side Story -- the guy at the dance in the gym encouraging Jets and Sharks to "make new friends." "Tonight, boys and girls, we're gonna do something special: we're gonna have a 'get together' dance!"
	4:58pm david_: A loaf of bread... a container of milk... a stick of butter...
	4:59pm Whooda: @Common, sadly my library system does not hold either "Candy" or "The Good Christian". Normally they have what I search for. :(
	4:59pm Milson: oh sh*t...
	5:00pm paula pc: never not scary, even after hearing zillions of times...
	5:01pm nic: I LOVE THIS_I LOVE ASHELY
	5:01pm Cecile: yeah. this is so creepy.
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Whooda: that would be The Magic Christian -- also worthy is the short story collection "red dirt marijuana & other tastes"
	5:02pm Whooda: @Rev Turnip. The "Magic" Christian. Got it, thanks.
	5:03pm dale: it sounds like rosemary's baby down at the docks!
	5:03pm Carmichael: @Tim: I barely remember Kentucky Fried Movie, but Evil Roy Slade was the meanest outlaw on earth. Unitl he fell in love ....
	5:04pm Philo Gristle: I was thinking it was Col. Mortimer's pocketwatch...
	5:05pm Milson: Be interesting to mix this in with "Hamburger Lady." Anyone desensitized enough to try this? Station Manager Ken?
	5:05pm Philo Gristle: @Carm I thought Bad Bob the Albino was the meanest outlaw on Earth...
	5:05pm kat330: Do I hear a sperm whale?
	5:05pm david_: gulp
	5:05pm map: Noooooo!
	5:05pm dale: this is getting awkward for me, too.
	5:06pm Whooda: Another period funny Astin movie is "Brothers O'Toole".
	5:07pm V Priceless: sperm whale or chorus of walrus!
	5:07pm still b/p: Revulsion response test.
	5:07pm steve: this is making me nauseous. truly revolting.
	5:08pm dale: was evil roy slade the movie with the telegraph operator with the stumpy finger? he had his own song i recall
	5:08pm Milson: I'm never going to the dentist...
	5:15pm Milson: Teasing aside, remarkable compositions... Thanks Fabio for assembling this selection.
	5:17pm Milson: David Tudor?
	5:19pm Carmichael: Yes, Dale. The Pinkerton agent, played by Mickey Rooney, had been chasing Evil Roy for years. He tapped the morse code out until his index finger was a stump. He insisted a folk song was written about him. Later in the movie, you can hear a guy around the fire strumming a guitar, singing "Stubby Index Finger".
	5:19pm Whooda: @Milson I remember the dentist in the early 80's who, after his female patients were 'under' would help himself to a BJ from the unconsious patient in the chair. At the time I wore a found button that read, "My reputation rests in your mouth". My boss thouht that was pretty funny (he was a old gay man).
	5:30pm Cecile: I always worry about that woman in the Robert Ashley piece when I hear that. I wonder what happened to her.
	👻 5:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ................nice.
	5:34pm Cecile: this is a really beautiful piece.
	5:37pm kat330: Was in the kitchen for several there, but yes, this is nice.
	5:46pm Cecile: nice vibe you're creating for winding down the work day.
	5:47pm V Priceless: i hear Mellotron!
	5:48pm Madoo: Hi, did I miss a dentally themed song? Just tuned in. Was away for a month in Southeast Asia (!). Missed the show and the board. I return to no job (had to quit). Jetlag sux.
	5:51pm Bjornscht: trillion manifestations
	5:51pm kat330: 36 million manifestations?
	5:51pm kirk from beer city usa: 36 trillion manifestations!
	5:52pm kat330: I meant TRILLION, arrrggh.
	5:52pm kirk from beer city usa: I'd like to point out that we all posted that at the same exact moment in time
	5:53pm Cecile: I'm here til 5:30 today. :(
	5:53pm bloopy: the clay and fabio vibe
	5:53pm Andrew Waterloo: loved the Bohren!
	5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Frequent commenter hit parade
	5:54pm northguineahills: mind blown, above....
	👻 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: One commenter here, but I'm good for at least three hundred personalities (600+ with coffee)
	5:54pm dale: THAT'S the song, carmichael - thanks!
	5:55pm Stanley: Wasn't there a show in the past that we exceeded 1000 comments?
	5:55pm kat330: Yeah, but the noosphere let me down a thousand thousandfold.
	5:56pm dale: go over by the greyhound station, clay
	5:56pm northguineahills: I know Ken's show has once exceeded 1000 comments.
	5:56pm Cecile: yeah, stanley, it was a triumvirate battle.
	5:56pm Bjornscht: Under the Queensboro was the hot zone
	5:57pm Ike: Some eminent entity has SUMMONED ME! I rise from the murk!
	5:57pm northguineahills: The motel a block from my apt used to consist of almost nothing but prostitutes (8 years ago). Now, it's not as visible if it still goes on
	5:57pm Carmichael: We all pay for it, my psyche says.
	5:57pm Bjornscht: 2nd Ave by Gowanus too
	2:44pm edondero: OK, so what is the movie in which Walter Matthau asks, "Are they Albanians?" and when informed that they are Mexicans, he says something like,"Albanians ... Mexicans ... What's the difference?"
