Ken, Ken, Ken...
Can I seize the day?
Can I, actually, seize this mofo?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:02am From: annie

third comment!!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:02am From: Ghengis Jung

Please hurt us Ken!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:03am From: Lizardner Dave

Mornin' Ken. I suppose this would be a bad week to say "poke!", right?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:08am From: paul

is this zachary brimstead's slow jam album?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:12am From: Ken

Morning all! Traktor Pro strikes again!! Lost my entire show two minutes before I went on the air.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:14am From: Bad Ronald

Attention citizens of the New York metropolitan area: At approximately 11:45 am four F-18 Hornets will buzz through the harbor and up the Hudson at an altitude of roughly 2000 feet. Do not be alarmed. That is all.

Oh, and I love "Coney Island Baby"!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:14am From: -max-

Is the software to blame, or could it be that the evil Dell laptop has struck again?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:15am From: PMD

mornin' all! Sorry Ken...

Wed. 5/20/09 9:16am From: Parq

When I was a lad, I thought that "wire mom" pic was one of the cruelest, most depressing things I'd ever seen, and all it did was "prove" the obvious. Now as a geezer, I find that a large number of people have always agreed with me. Vindicated!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:17am From: jan

Brown Whornet, Act one excerpt is just one reason why Ken's show is not to be missed.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:18am From: BSI

...mommy...

Wed. 5/20/09 9:19am From: annie

i saw a great film last night.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052655/

classic!!!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:20am From: Devin

Morning.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:21am From: Ken

Parq - Dont say nuthin' bad about my mother. I dont wanna have to ban you.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:23am From: Parq

Fair enough. Is she the one on the left or the right?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:24am From: reeds lou

the story behind that monkey picture is very sad indeed: the poor little guys would rather be with a comforting cloth mother than eat .

Wed. 5/20/09 9:24am From: -max-

Really, Parq! How insensitive!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:25am From: Ghengis Jung

Kensday

Wed. 5/20/09 9:25am From: Devin

A piece of my banana "flew" into my coffee... Good morning Ken!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:27am From: trish

85 -- that's a lotta times for something that isn't all that pleasant

Wed. 5/20/09 9:27am From: John from Oslo

Happy Wednesday Ken!

Wikipedia:
The name comes from the Middle English Wednes dei, which is from Old English language Wēdnes dæg, meaning the day of the English god Woden (Wodan) who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England until about the 7th century.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:28am From: bb

traktor 3 now fighting the hell out of my new HP. the one with 4 gb of memory and a decent sound card...at a loss.

nothing like it when traktor suddenly drops or finds an entire playlist to be faulty tracks...

Wed. 5/20/09 9:29am From: sugarwolf

If wire mom is Ken's mom, does that mean Ken is the sad little monkey?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:29am From: Cecile

Good morning. My modem is dead, but I am coming to you via Bruegger's

Ken, did they make you drink that GoLytely stuff.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:30am From: PMD

Ken, you were serious that you woke up??? Oh dear.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:30am From: Cecile

I am crying laughing at this.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:31am From: Cecile

but yeah PMD, that is scary

Wed. 5/20/09 9:31am From: PMD

Oh, I so love that. Just like Fantastic Voyage!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:31am From: Michelle

This is so exciting! I'm actually getting to listen to the show live today! Ken, your tale of the colonoscopy is compelling and rich.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:31am From: Mac

colonoscopy is like a walk in the park... Prospect Park at 2am.
They are tearing up my street. My house is dancing. Screw tractor Pro.
Give me my Monkey Mommy before I cry.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:32am From: Cecile

Wed. 5/20/09 9:32am From: Cecile

I love you Ken.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:33am From: Lizardner Dave

I had to lower the volume in my office during the bondage thing.

On the other hand....DOOPEE TIME!!!!!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:33am From: hugh

Ken,
when I woke up, everyone kept saying "TAKE DEEP BREATHS", & boom, I was gone again

Wed. 5/20/09 9:33am From: Mark Twainus

I once listened to this song on repeat for my entire day at work.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:33am From: -max-

I woke up in the middle of a wisdom tooth extraction, back when they used sodium pentathol. They had just cracked the tooth in half, and my eyes shot open. Not what one wants at that point.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:36am From: BSI

Ken, bless you for mixing down the background during that "put your head down" line... now I can get a clean sample & abuse it with rigorous glee.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:36am From: doug from dc

Max, at least they tried to put you under. They just shot me up with a big booster of valium and broke out the chisel.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:36am From: PMD

Cecile, are you made of wire?

Wed. 5/20/09 9:37am From: PMD

I had 3 impacted wisdom teeth and I *chose* not to be put under. It was fascinating in a very very sick way to see just what they do to you to get the teeth out. I looked like the elephant woman the next day.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:37am From: G

Had my first colonoscopy three months ago. I lost over 15 pounds in water and digestive-system contents in six hours during the evening before the procedure, after following elaborate over-laxativizing instructions. I don't think my body was back to normal functioning for the better part of a week.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:38am From: Cecile

No, unfortunatly. I'm made of a lot of stupid meat and gristle which breaks down and necessitates the need to visit junkie anesthesiologists.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:39am From: Parq

Carl Stalling? This don't sound like no Looney Tunes to me!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:39am From: Cecile

G, I just did that prior to surgery.
I bounced back pretty quick. I kept asking the doctor "when can I eat again? whwhen do I get to eat again?"

Wed. 5/20/09 9:39am From: Devin

PMD, Same here, I chose not to be put under for my extractions... I had to tell them to stop after the 3rd one.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:40am From: paul

YOU'RE GOING TO GRETCHEN'S HOUSE!!!

Wed. 5/20/09 9:41am From: -max-

Then there was the time that the Novocaine didn't take. There is only so much they can shoot in there, and then it stops working. In the middle of multiple extractions, the dentist asked me, so what do you want me to do? I wanted to tell him to stand still while I look for something to hit him upside his head with....

Wed. 5/20/09 9:41am From: G

Yeah, it took me awhile before I was sure I knew what an appetite really felt like again. I adjust, but I have to think it through first.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:44am From: PMD

Devin, I just inhaled more of the laughing gas. I didn't laugh, but made it through. I also have experienced the multiple shots (like 5) of novocaine when getting a bridge replaced and still feeling shit, but I just cried and let them finish. Damn, I should be in the army or something.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:45am From: G

I mean, did I feel hungry? Or just yucky and messed up? What is actually the difference, anyway? What if I ate when I felt yucky not really hungry, and ended up feeling worse than before? Etc.

Our bodies are doing lots of stuff on autopilot we really don't think about till they get thrown off.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:48am From: b.bell

My dentist tells me that women can handle pain far better than men. When I have fillings done, I do not take any novacaine (or whatever painkiller they use these days) because it is worse to suffer a numb face all day than to just tolerate a little drilling. When I had my wisdom teeth pulled, though, I did have novacaine, and the best part was the Demerol I was sent home with.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:48am From: jojo

now by endorsing NPR you are indirectly endorsing fox, fox news, and their fine programming, necessitating some hideous mashup IMFO

Wed. 5/20/09 9:51am From: -max-

Ah, Demerol!! There's a drug for forgetting your worries. And everything else, for that matter.

Wed. 5/20/09 9:51am From: sugarwolf

when I had my wisdom teeth removed, I couldn't swallow pills, so I didn't get to enjoy any sweet post-op drugs

Wed. 5/20/09 9:53am From: G

Was shot up w/ Demerol in an ER for a bad back spasm once. I totally see how people would get addicted to it...

Wed. 5/20/09 9:53am From: Ken

By the way, if anybody cares to submit code for a playlist picture, make a small version that is 270 pixels wide, host the small and large version on your own server and then post html code like this for me:

Good Morning All!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:04am From: annie

morning janet!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:05am From: Janet H

Good Morning Annie!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:05am From: Lizardner Dave

Hi Janet. Just joined the hippie noise? Here's the show so far: Ken woke up during his colonoscopy and Traktor Pro ate today's music selection. Then Ken had to wing it and is throwing together a great show anyway against all odds. Meanwhile the chat list has been sharing waking-up-during-minor surgery experiences, the definition of Wednesday and their favorite pharmaceuticals.

Oh, and we had a corn weenie sighting.

Now you're all caught up.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:05am From: ovid

good morning janet h - i hope all is well.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:08am From: BSI

BSI inflicted a Corn Weenie flashback on some confused folks at the Velvet Lounge (DC) a couple o' weeks ago, with fellow weenies Violet & Pilesar... it was a sloppy fun blast.

The lesson is: the Weenie never dies, nor does it become stale, nor does it offer any nutritional value.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:09am From: Janet H

Dave: Thanks for filling me in!

Ovid: Everything is good here!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:12am From: Janet H

Booo for CVS!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:13am From: annie

Yo, Ken, that's POT-bellied pig. They're all pork bellied (sort of the point of being a pig).

Wed. 5/20/09 10:15am From: Janet H

Annie - i don't blame you!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:27am From: Janet H

Can I take that picture and put Dong Sun in it, saying "Please don't divorce my dads".....?

Wed. 5/20/09 10:27am From: chris

morning ken, glad you enjoyed the photo!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:29am From: Ken

Yes Janet! Please do!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:31am From: Ken

I want to see at least 11 of you at the UCB Theater tonight for the Seven Sec Delay show. 307 West 26th Street, near 8th ave

Wed. 5/20/09 10:32am From: G

Why 11? Is 11 the "evil quorum"?

Wed. 5/20/09 10:33am From: JJZ

Maybe when the show comes out on the road to Chicago.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:34am From: Joshua K

R. I. P. Slyme. We will miss you.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:34am From: Ken

11 is what we need from this show in order to sell out. From each according to his whatever...

Wed. 5/20/09 10:35am From: Lizardner Dave

11 is one of them Klingon things isn't it? And by "Klingon" I mean Jewish, of course.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:35am From: Ken

I'm with you on that, JJZ!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:36am From: Michelle

I second the request for a Chicago road show!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:36am From: chris

JJZ - where in chicago are you?

Wed. 5/20/09 10:37am From: dc pat

or to DC--half the commenters live in DC.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:37am From: Janet H

sorry that was me saying...I'm with you on that, JJZ! ....LOL!....I NEED MY COFFEE!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:37am From: chris

i have to 3rd the chicago road trip

Wed. 5/20/09 10:37am From: G

The venue gave you sales stats! Wow, you guys really got it together!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:38am From: AnAnonymousParty

Trog never said much and, although he had a certain funk about him, he was still the best chiropractor in town.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:39am From: Seven Second City

I'll second the Chicago trip. How feasible would it be to start videocasting the show?

Wed. 5/20/09 10:39am From: chris

7SD - a US tour maybe?

Wed. 5/20/09 10:40am From: Parq

Ken, 'fraid you're going to have to get along without me at UCB tonight. I'm going to School of Rock and I'm too old for two shows in one night, I'd have an aneurism, and then I'd have to learn how to spell it.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:43am From: Carmichael

Interesting morning, Ken and other inhabitants.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:43am From: Ken

That's the last straw Parq. You're banned.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:44am From: paul

i saw dan play at the intersection of the JMZ trains where the M branches off and goes north to queens... there was a show in brooklyn right at that intersection. it was amazing!!!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:44am From: Janet H

Yea, Bring Andy to the Chicago Area!

Wed. 5/20/09 10:44am From: HotRod

Wed. 5/20/09 10:47am From: Not Parq, really

Well, I think I'll just jump into this conversation. After all. I'm new here,and I'm certainly not anyone who's been banned.

Wed. 5/20/09 10:47am From: dc pat

later 'cile

Wed. 5/20/09 10:48am From: ovid

dont forget the galses cecile

I've been playing this the past few minutes: http://www.teijin.co.jp/animal/. Click on the "TRY" balloon, top floor left.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:00am From: kim

haha, this guy must be calling from san francisco! plenty of weirdos out here, thank goodness!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:00am From: dc pat

dei xhrist: love playing games where I have no clue what's going on..

Wed. 5/20/09 11:02am From: What!

This guy should stay away from his roomate's meds.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:03am From: paul

is this guy mrs. mcwiggin's hipster cousin or something?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:03am From: BSI

He could be a double-agent from J&H Productions...

Wed. 5/20/09 11:05am From: still b/p

If you want his address, you can probably get it from the makers of Marlboros, who I'm sure send him a Christmas card, a calendar and warm regards every year.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:07am From: ovid

a suicidal lab?!?!?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:08am From: AnAnonymousParty

It just goes to show you that you can be too drunk to drive, but never too drunk to dial the phone.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:08am From: Freddy: Formerly of West Orange Plumbing Supply

Hey Ken and WFMU message board

Wed. 5/20/09 11:12am From: PMD

What did I miss?? I was in a meeting.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:12am From: Freddy: Formerly of West Orange Plumbing Supply

That is such a great family photo

Wed. 5/20/09 11:12am From: dc pat

goddammit! Step out to take the fuckin compost out and I miss the minutemen!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:13am From: -max-

Apparently Freddy lost his job...

Wed. 5/20/09 11:13am From: PMD

Freddy, did you quit? Or no more business??

Wed. 5/20/09 11:14am From: Not Parq, really

PDM, some guy named Parq is banned, but I'm definitely not him.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:15am From: Curtis Mayfield of West Orange Plumbing Supply

Freddy's dead...to us.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:16am From: GP

Is that dad in the family photo wearing a clerical collar?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:16am From: Tom Green

Freddy got fingered.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:17am From: Ken

OK Parq, you're unbanned

Wed. 5/20/09 11:18am From: -max-

GP sez: "Is that dad in the family photo wearing a clerical collar?" That would go a long way towards explaining the creepiness.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:18am From: Carmichael

And shorts. I could dig learnin' 'bout Jesus from him.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:18am From: ovid

this song sounds a lot like that outkast song

Wed. 5/20/09 11:19am From: Janet H

Ok Ken I added Dong Sun! It's on your fb wall!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:19am From: PMD

I also seemed to have missed that Andy and Ken have a love child...

Wed. 5/20/09 11:21am From: b.bell

re: "Family Portrait", is he a postman or a priest?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:21am From: Ike

Recently I tried listening in FM stereo again. No dog whistle! Where'd that screeching dog whistle go? Nobody told me! Now THERE is something to really WOO HOO about! Or is it just hiding, ready to jump back out suddenly, just to fuck with me?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:22am From: Freddy: Formerly of West Orange Plumbing Supply

I had to quit. I'm moving to Atlanta

Wed. 5/20/09 11:24am From: Ken

Ike, the doh whistle is gone! We have WMFU Engineer David to thank for that. It was a bum exciter.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:25am From: FCC

It was a WHAT?!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:26am From: Carmichael

Gotta run off to another meeting. See you over at that freak Kenny G's board.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:26am From: dc pat

yeah, where do you get those bum exciters?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:26am From: PMD

Freddy, I hope you like the idea you're moving to Atlanta!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:27am From: Ike

YAY! It's always bad to get bums excited. I guess they're good at creating horrible high-pitched whistles while sitting around their alleyway trash can fires in the back of a Japanese restaurant in West Orange.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:27am From: What!

Who doesn't love bum exciters?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:33am From: GP

Ken, I'm sure Paris has a few spare "plug receptacles" (wink wink), next time I see her I'll ask.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:34am From: bum

i thought a bum exciter was someone who went around working up bums

Wed. 5/20/09 11:34am From: Parq

"horrible high-pitched whistles while sitting around their alleyway trash can fires in the back of a Japanese restaurant in West Orange" would be a good name for a -- wait, no it wouldn't, not thinking straight, never mind.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:35am From: texas scott

please don't excite those bums...they are so cranky,when you wake them!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:35am From: Janet H

Run Lola Run!!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:35am From: andy

which is more fun to be with, me or the cardboard cut-out of me?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:36am From: GP

Is that Frangry in that pic?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:36am From: annie

just couldn't stay away, returning for the last gasp.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:38am From: Janet H

wb annie!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:39am From: GP

I forgot to add...she scares me just a bit.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:40am From: -max-

Redhead on the lawn is Ang, I believe.

S.A.S.S = Short Attention Span Songs

Wed. 5/20/09 11:47am From: -max-

Another great fast/short song is the Dickies "I got it at the store"

Wed. 5/20/09 11:50am From: Marshall Stacks

I wonder if this is the number the LSJUMB did where they marched in the form of a giant hypodermic needle.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:51am From: PMD

Janet, great that you added Dong Sun!

Wed. 5/20/09 11:55am From: GP

WOO hoo!.Texas Republic......wait "will be part of Mexico." WTF? dangit.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:55am From: Kent Downing

White Punks on Dope certainly gave a boost to my morning. Thanks, Ken.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:57am From: Parq

The Ex sounds like someone driving a truck. And I mean that totally in a good way.

Wed. 5/20/09 11:57am From: AnAnonymousParty

Oh great, now I gotta start adding 'eh' to the end of every sentence, eh? I mean, now that I'm gonna be Canadian, eh?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:59am From: istoria

hahahahhaha

Wed. 5/20/09 11:59am From: Janet H

What happen to kernel sanders?

Wed. 5/20/09 11:59am From: Parq

Meanwhile, we in the northeast get to be European. Cool! Everyone loves Europeans. They're so -- European!

Wed. 5/20/09 12:00pm From: PMD

Ah, what a delay.
HAHAHAHAHA

Wed. 5/20/09 12:00pm From: John McCabe in LA

hahahahahah

Wed. 5/20/09 12:01pm From: GP

Ken,
Bring grandma back.....

Paris is hot

Wed. 5/20/09 12:02pm From: PMD

That Paris part sounds like a boondoggle to me.

Wed. 5/20/09 12:03pm From: GP

Least favorite I have heard today: polyp
