I wouldn't touch myself with a ten-foot pole, let alone stand within six feet of myself.

Reminds me of a sign on a beach near San Francisco. It depicts four generic person icons (like the pink one in the poster), each standing at the corner of a square. Two hypotenuses bisect the square, labeled 6 ft. each. But if that's so, then the sides of the square separating each person from two others are under 4.25 ft.! That's how a pandemic happens.

I remember hearing this cigar commercial earlier on WFMU. It was part of a compilation of politically incorrect commercials from the (not so) old days. Is this program available some where in the WFMU archives?

Hey everyone! completely off-any-topic here, by using search I noticed you Irwin, are the dj who has played most Wigwam at wfmu. It might interest you then, that they are still around, in a way. They did their 50th anniversary shows in 2018 with Jim Pembroke as Wigwam(I saw one concert) and without him they have been performing as Wigwam Experience and lately as Wigwam Revisited with Jukka Gustavson, the original keyboard player handling all the vocals even though they are playing the Nuclear Nightclub-era material where he was not part of the line-up at the time (though he's english, Pembroke's lived in USA on and off since 1995 or so - so it is quite a distance to come to work, heh).

@5:23 Irwin: most of the people who have played in this mighty fine band are still alive - only the awesome rhythm section of drummer Ronnie Österberg (died 1980) and bass player and composer Pekka Pohjola (died 2008) have passed away. Jim Pembroke has handling lead vocals and keyboards and has written most lyrics and a lot of the music. Alive and well as far as I know, and did a solo album in 2014 (after a 33 year break in solo activities).

@5:44 Dean: Wigwam are one of the few bands i am crazy enough to pay more than I can afford when any of the old stuff comes up in older editions. Even the 80s re-releases are getting more expensive (I paid 55 euros for such an edition of Tombstone Valentine recently, as some gentle soul had stolen one from me some 22 years previous). Tasavallan Presidentti I really know better only from Magneettimiehen kuolema by the late Pekka Streng (they accompany him on that Finnish Folk classic).
