Top of the morning charles!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50am charlie:

Hi Joe -- "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."
  11:50am Michael:

And Wendy too - !
  11:51am Joe Franklin:

Exactly right mr. lewis.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:58am charlie:

Hi Michael!
  12:00pm listener james from westwood:

edna and tim make such a nice couple.
good afternoon wendy and charlie!
  12:02pm Carmichael:

Hi Charlie. Hi everyone.
  12:04pm Perri:

Hello to Charlie and all the BuDoNo Bunch!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm charlie:

Well hey there, LJfW, Carmichael and Perri!
  12:12pm still b/p:

I like that -- a troop of BuDoNos. No field studies allowed, though.

Halloo. I like some cheese, but not all.
  12:14pm Carmichael:

Ed Grimley used this song to practice playing his triangle.
  12:14pm Perri:

I hear "The Typewriter" in my head every time the dog goes on a chewing spree.
  12:16pm Carmichael:

Hi Wendy!
  12:18pm still b/p:

Oop! I'm sorry I said I don't like all cheese. Didn't mean to iss-day the eese-chay while endy-Way's in the ouse-hay.
  12:20pm a frustrated fly:

Shoofly pie (or shoo-fly pie or Montgomery pie) is a molasses pie considered traditional among the Pennsylvania Dutch and also known in Southern cooking.
The pie may get its name because the molasses attracts flies that must be "shooed" away.
  12:26pm Ike:

Hello youse guys!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:27pm charlie:

Carmichael -- Wendy says hi!
And by the way, why aren't those Ed Grimley shows available for rental or streaming, anywhere? That was such a great show!
  12:30pm Carmichael:

I'm in total agreeance, Charlie.
  12:34pm Joe Franklin:

Agree with you both on the Grimley show. Mental.

Did a complete SCTV rewatch a couple of years ago. That was a pretty awesome show for a while.
  12:35pm Michael:

damn auto name.

A fav Bugs cartoon!
  12:51pm Doug S.:

Hi Chazzy and Cheesy!
  12:56pm still b/p:

Candy looks a bit like young Capote.
  1:05pm northguineahills:

Eating chips w/ the guac I made last night (the missus taught me her recipe). Better watch out Doug, w/in a month or so, I'll be in competition w/ you once I tweek the recipe to my liking. ;)
  1:08pm Doug S.:

Oh no, my guac is award-winning-caliber stuff. In my own mind at least.
  1:10pm still b/p:

A "guac and awe" campaign.
  1:13pm northguineahills:

If I don't find a full-time job soon, you won't stand a chance. Honing my culinary skills is what I've been doing w/ my free time. Don't worry I still have ways to go make the recipe mine.
  1:15pm Michael:

Chaz looks like the Codger's brother. And Deb has a bit of a Lemmy facial thing going on.
  1:19pm still b/p:

Jason Robards also yells, "Everyone on stage for the Hawaiian number!" out that window.
  1:20pm Michael:

Another Perry tune:

  1:50pm northguineahills:

Was that an owl playing the saxophone w/ Ernie, or is my memory really warped?
  1:53pm Doug S.:
