1:02pm Hubig Pie:

I'mma snob, so cornichons for me

1:02pm spodiodi:

Gherkin rhymes with jerkin' as in:
Hey, what are you up to?
Ah, not much, just jerkin the gherkin.

1:03pm Andres:

Never met a pickle I didn’t like. Can’t say the same for gherkins.

1:03pm dave wuz here:

1:08pm DjLorraine:

Hi Rex, Ruth, Spodiodi and a meow to Alvy

1:08pm Alvy Singer:

I don't want a gherkin, just wanna cheer for Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin.

1:08pm P-90:

All gherkins are pickles, but all pickles are not gherkins. Does that help?

1:09pm P-90:

I mean not all pickles are gherkins. Aw forget it...

1:10pm DjLorraine:

Cream puff war !

1:28pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Greetings, to every pickle-puss

1:29pm Rex:

A gherkin is the stunted step-child of a pickle...

1:31pm The Butterman:

Right earthwalker! Did you hear that Sting Rays song?

🌮

1:32pm Hubig Pie:

A gherkin resides in the relish tray. A pickle garnishes your hamburger sandwich

1:32pm Listener Bop Monroe:

it's more the red-headed bastard son of a pickle that gets no cards at Xmas

1:33pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Fred Clark is great in "Abbott & Costello Meet the Keystone Kops," an under appreciated masterwork, the best Lost Bud & Lou.

1:35pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Shantytown Honeymoon was robbed in the Best Picture category, IMO.

1:36pm Andres:

While the gherkin resides in the relish tray ironically relish is made with pickles.

1:36pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Of course Clark's Harry Morton, on the Burns and Allen Show, was an undeniable tour de force of dyspeptic henpecked husband which will live through the ages.

1:38pm The Butterman:

Not a single reference to cornichons! Embarrassing. Too bad I can’t think of a good zinger.

1:39pm nematomorpha:

I understand the concept of Gherking now! Thank You!
in Austria we call it 'Blitz-Gurkerl'

1:41pm earthwalker:

Nope. just tuned in

Mr. Butterman, shout out to the mighty cornichon at 1.02, my good man

1:41pm Greg from ZONE 5:

1:43pm LincolnPin:

When yo really sick reach for the cure-all, hot boudin and a Dr. Pepper. All the cajun girls love a hot boudin !

2:29pm JohnEBGood:

Thanx Rex. I will. 🎉

2:32pm Andres:

I bet a gherkin would go well with a hot boudin.

2:33pm phat:

That Elwood James was something else. Really cool and odd in a way I can't quite describe.

2:34pm davefromtoronto:

wolfman makes the big bopper sound like pavarotti...

2:37pm Choggie:

Hey Sylvia. Feel sorry for the whole country being duped into either choice by a media apparatus Joe Gobbles would have praised Satan himself for....I'm appolitical and can spot charlatans with eyes closed. They're ALL shitty politicians and worse leaders. Mass Survellience and supression of freedom, it's what's for breakfast we are all forced to eat it. Welcome to planet now.

2:38pm Andres:

Is there a level below low-brow?

2:38pm Sylvia's Mother:

Then why couldn't you spot President Treason (I mean Trump, impeached twice Trump) was a charlatan?

2:39pm davefromtoronto:

"below brow" natch!

2:39pm Kpx:

No sex stimala this week?

2:39pm Sylvia's Mother:

I'm not being surveilled. My freedom isn't being suppressed.

2:40pm Listener Bop Monroe:

No Brow says to sneeze into your elbow, not down the neck of your shirt.

🌮

2:44pm Hubig Pie:

I don't trust my smart toaster

2:45pm spodiodi:

2:45pm Andres:

Ken FHP: I employ either method depending on the circumstances.

2:46pm Cooh John:

Hi, DjLorraine. Been workin' and lurkin' all day.

2:46pm gf2002:

"Fractious Friday" was Real Don Steele's sign-out before the weekend on KHJ's drive-time shift. One of the true greats! He also played the DJ in the movie Gremlins

2:47pm davefromtoronto:

blow brow!

2:47pm Sean Norling:

Eating breakfast to this is New Zealand on a Sunday Morning, and loving it. V nutritious selections.

2:50pm Rex:

Fool's Paradise pairs perfectly with a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles!

2:50pm BH:

Wikipedia sez: "In 1997, Trammell was elected to the Arkansas House of Representatives, where he served until 2002. He unsuccessfully sought a State Senate seat in 2002, losing to Jerry Bookout"

But to be fair, Jerry Bookout likely didn't release any records, so who can say if he actually won that primary

2:50pm Kpx:

If you can't trust a smart toaster, then what does that say about everyone's smartphone. Should we turn them on and lock them in the shed.

2:50pm Ken From Hyde Park:

(DJ Paul Bruno filling in for Todd-o-phonic Todd today.)

2:50pm davefromtoronto:

2:57pm davefromtoronto:

2:58pm Andres:

No reason to be fickle,
The show was great, like a pickle.
Thanks, Rex!!!

2:58pm Sylvia's Mother:

If you don't vote and are proud of it, you are doubly an *sshole. I have no use for you.

2:58pm Listener Bop Monroe:

thnx again for another great week Mr. Rex!
i'm pretty sure it's a radio thing.

2:58pm Choggie:

Loved the really big shew Rex, sorry about the political smack-talkin'.....very low-brow. More power to NY, praying for her musicians, her theaters and restaurants...

2:59pm P-90:

Goodbye, Cosmic Carradine. And many thanks @Rex for spreading the grease so promiscuously once again.

3:03pm Choggie:

Sorry about ya drinkinn'the kool aide Sylvias mom...you sound tired and frustrated with politics as usual....my advice: destroy all televisions in the house. Haven't used other people's programming for decades now...it works wonders

3:05pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Let our shared respect for Fred Clark, a giant among character actors, be the unifying balm that heals America. Amen.
