Welcome, skeptics! Are you the same Irwin who used to host a radio show on WFMU during the 1990s?
  3:06pm
Listener Robert:

I think he's one of the Irwins who hosted two WFMU shows on different nights in the 1980s. I don't know if I could recognize which one.
  3:12pm
Listener Robert:

I used to get my chloroform from Daddy in the "form" of Benylin antihistaminic syrup. I'm pretty sure it's in the goblet on the right. HIS right, I mean.

Flabbio is clearly (heh) taking draughts from the questionable one on his left. The blindfold and clothespin are to keep him from seeing or smelling the mess he's leaving in the studio of origination.

Listener Robert:

Wait a minute, now I can tell from his picture that's the Tuesday night Irwin.

Speaking of mockeries, we heard a rumor yesterday that Fablio's attorney has dropped him as a client for non-payment of legal bills!

Listener Robert:

Can't he embezzle enough?
  5:45pm
Listener Robert:

[Pssst...I think I'm going to have to earmark my fall pledge to Fabio, considering all that his namesakes Fablo, Fabilo, Fabilio, and Flabbio have come in for here.]

45rpm is not Courtney's speed, until you add 33.
Avatar 6:06pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

They tested 33-1/3, 45, and 78 rpm discs on rodents. They reacted most favorably to 78. The science is settled!

And our nickname here, "hoosier" is deemed offense to the earless, as legend has it, after a massacre during the founding of the state, one wag held up a severed ear and asked to whom it belonged.

Honeybear:

Put this by the Staff Committee: „Since the late 20th century, there has been a debate in the United States over the appropriate term for the indigenous peoples of North America. Some want to be called Native American; others prefer American Indian. Means said that he preferred "American Indian", arguing that it derives not from explorers' confusion of the people with those of India, but from the Italian expression in Dio, meaning "in God".[17][18] In addition, Means noted that since treaties and other legal documents in relation to the United States government use "Indian", continuing use of the term could help today's American Indian people forestall any attempts by others to use legal loopholes in the struggle over land and treaty rights.“ -- en.wikipedia.org...

I don't think Irwin is around. He left the station in the 1990s and has been unsupportive since then. He occasionally posts peevish comments, then goes away.

Another inconvenient factoid: "As of 1995, according to the US Census Bureau, 50% of people who identified as Indigenous preferred the term American Indian, 37% preferred Native American, and the remainder preferred other terms or had no preference.[15]" -- en.wikipedia.org...
