Don't miss the EXPLOSIVE revelations about WFMU's nefarious undertakings on tonight's program. There will be a SPECIAL REPORT from the Old Codger's team of undercover investigative journalists! And commercials.

Under the covers with Fablio? I hope these intrepid investigators have been thoroughly sanitized!
Avatar 5:12pm

Only the best investigators were on the case. All are graduates of the Delbarton School of Journalistic Snoopery. They have compiled a thick dossier of potential allegations, suspicious possibilities, perplexing coincidences, and rumored wrongdoing.

Nothing is done halfway. They don't leave some things to chance—it's all solid, conclusive conjecture.

Will Fablio refer to Courtney as the "Ooooooooooold Codger" tonight? That makes Courtney cringe.

(Murakami Whywolf))):

Language note: as of the recording of "It's Murder", 'when he makes love to me' _could_ refer to sex, but it was still more likely to mean, as it had for about thirty years, more like chatting-up and wooing and hugging…and light petting at most.

Back then one could say 'Romeo in the garden made love to Juliet in the balcony' without implying an extreme anatomical anomaly on Romeo's behalf.

You're welcome; learning this made some lines in a Marx Brothers' movie more understandable, as well helping me understand why the Hays Office allowed the film title "Let's Make Love".

Oh, man. Long day, busy time of year for me. Forgot about FMU/ET being an hour ahead pf CT here in New Orkeans. Have to play the audio quietly because the Signif Other on the adjoining couch has been on a Zoom settlement conference since 2pm. Someone just said "amortizing." Don't explain to Courtney about Zoom. Just tell him it's people dickering about money -- same as it ever was.

The commercials interrupting this programme are extremely reminiscent of those doing so to the "Young Marquis and Stanley Show" that played on Pasadena's KROQ (the original station so-named) regularly in around 1981-1985 or so.
