	12:29pm David Dichelle: Hey NGH! No, I suppose I missed that one somehow. Maybe it has a seventh name?
	12:32pm David (in London): arrives in the carriage dishevelled and panting Sorry I'm late. Has the refreshments cart already been round? Hello David and all assembled groovers.
	🚂 12:33pm Handy Haversack: Saved you a can of bitter and some crisps, David (iL).

	12:41pm Marie: deep lyrics
	12:41pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Melinda!
	12:42pm Marie: This sounds like a Broadway musical type version
	12:43pm David Dichelle: I'd go see that musical.
	12:46pm David (in London): It stars Ethel Merman and David Essex.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: greetings David, subterranean Freedom Riders
	12:48pm Stanley: Chiming in. Good evening David and everyone.
	🚂 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Evening, Stanley. Afternoon, coela.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: she is woman
	12:51pm David (in London): Evening Stanley and Coela. Stanley - have you sat around today in a vest drinking lager?
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel and Stanley!
	12:51pm David Dichelle: She is indeed.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (she says)
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: hey David!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: (Davids)
	🚂 12:55pm Brian in UK: David (in London) Love the name of Rab C Nesbitt's pub. The Two Ways Inn.
	12:56pm David (in London): My somewhat unimaginative choice of FMU profile handle always comes a cropper on this show. I think, 'Wow, everyone is saying hello to me, look how popular I am!' and then I realise it's Herr Dichelle that everyone's greeting...
	12:57pm David (in London): Vera' cooking up a storm here! Brian, ha ha!
	12:57pm David Dichelle: David: The more the merrier!
	🚂 12:58pm βrian: Ach, those old-school bike racks! So many wheels have died in them!
	1:01pm David Dichelle: βrian: Indeed, luckily we do have proper ones around as well.
	🚂 1:01pm chresti: Sorry I'm missing the chat, my ears were getting bent..
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: David(iL) but everyone's saying hello to you too! i added the plural when i considered that i'd already said hi to our Host and said hi to you immediately after he'd greeted me - lest i appear to be losing it, or to be playing games... which of course i'm not, and never do. . .
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: Věra does all the hits
	1:05pm David Dichelle: She turned them all into hits.
	1:06pm northguineahills: Kurt must have played Vera…..
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: play her cover of sexpistols' god save the queen next, wont you? she surely did that one...
	1:08pm David Dichelle: Coel: I wonder if that would have got past the Czech censors, there must have been a line to cross somewhere.
	1:08pm David Dichelle: NGH: Without a doubt.
	🚂 1:11pm Brian in UK: All these are post '68.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: Věra's cover of heart of glass is a good bit better than my former downstairs neighbor's version.
	1:14pm coelacanth∅: (subtitled "i have a heart of glass and it broke so now i sound like a dying dog")
	1:18pm Phillippe: Howdy. Brasil/Brazil here
	1:19pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Phillippe!
	🚂 1:20pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe. Hope things are smoothing for you!
	1:21pm Phillippe: Hey Handy! Waves are rough as ever, but we are getting things under control. How are your kitties, all healthy?
	1:23pm Stanley: Hi David Darn Sarf - no chance, Spent most of the day on the phone helping mother sort out Dad's situation. He had a fall a couple of days ago, back from hospital with stichted up forehead and hand (he fell on a glass he was carrying and thank goodness it wasn't worse ) and we arranged, with the doctor's help, to get him admitted to a rehabilitation centre for physical therapy. Looks like he'll be there for three weeks. It's been a busy day but rest assured I was in my underpants and the lager can was not far from my side. Cheers (burp).
	1:26pm Stanley: (Sorry to hoover up the vibes in here)
	1:28pm Phillippe: @Stanley my mom is heading to rehab today as well
	🚂 1:28pm YETI BOB: Hello friends.
	1:28pm David Dichelle: That sounds painful, all the best to your father, Stanley.
	1:29pm David Dichelle: Hello Yeti Bob!
	🚂 1:29pm YETI BOB: Stanley and Phillipe, wishing you strength to deal with the aging parents. (There's a lot of that going around)
	1:29pm David Dichelle: And best wishes to your mother, Phillippe!
	1:30pm David (in London): Phillippe / Yeti Bob - Greetings pals. Stanley, sorry to hear that my friend. Your poor dad. Not the best way to be spending Christmas. Hang in there.
	🚂 1:30pm YETI BOB: David - I'll have to go back to the archive and check out Věra Špinarová! I was eating lunch so I missed it. My grandparents were from CZ so I always enjoy hearing that stuff.
	🚂 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Stanley, sorry to hear it! Lager consolation extra important! Phillippe, I think so. They were playing half the night, and for some reason this worried the dog, who would not stop crying. I think I got about four hours of sleep. Can we just skip ahead to next Thursday when I begin a week and a half without work? We are run to a ragged edge here.
	🚂 1:30pm chresti: Haha Øheart of dying dogØ
	🚂 1:30pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Stanley and @Phillippe I feel you both -- good luck with the folks.
	1:31pm Stanley: Phillippe - good luck for both of you and the family. Thanks eveyone - it's probably for the best
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Yeti Bob: Which part were they from?
	🚂 1:31pm YETI BOB: The Slovak side, a small village not far from Bratislava
	🚂 1:32pm YETI BOB: so Slovak is the (grand)mother tongue, not Czech.... I still enjoy hearing it though!
	🚂 1:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I am dying for some paid time off, but I already took off a bunch of time since Mom's diagnosis....my idea of Paradise right now is 72 hours of solid sleep.
	🚂 1:33pm YETI BOB: DD: Moravské Lieskové, Nové Mesto nad Váhom, Slovakia. to be precise!
	1:33pm David Dichelle: YB: Yes, the languages are similar although I've heard that younger people have been having a harder time understanding the other one since the country split apart due to fewer contacts.
	1:33pm Stanley: I wonder many of us will still be listening and commenting from our rehab centres/nursing homes/hospital beds in the (not so far away, for some of us) future.
	1:33pm David Dichelle: Moravské must be very close to Moravia, though.
	🚂 1:34pm YETI BOB: I've never been. One of these days I will make a pilgrimage. My grandmother always had a lot of Polish friends, she said Polish was easier for her to understand than Czech
	🚂 1:34pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Threemoons. Heard. But also let us know if you want to get a drink in LIC or Greenpoint during the end of the year times, if you're able.
	🚂 1:34pm Michael 98145: Slavic languages are confusing. Nouns change depending on context , etc ...
	🚂 1:35pm Michael 98145: My Slovak ancestors were nearly Ukrainian
	1:35pm David Dichelle: Michael: Yes, there are six or seven cases with different case endings.
	🚂 1:36pm Bas NL: Hi David! Station dwellers!
	🚂 1:36pm YETI BOB: (looking at map) I misspoke, it's not that close to Bratislava. Like I said, I haven't been ther yet. But the family legend is that my grandmother ran away from home (fleeing an arranged marriage) and went first to Bratsilava, then Vienna, then London, and wound up in Newark NJ
	1:36pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Bas!
	🚂 1:37pm YETI BOB: Once Covid is really over, I'm going to do the trip in reverse ... Newark, London, Vienna, Bratislava then wind up in Moravské Lieskové
	1:39pm David Dichelle: Sounds like a well planned itinerary even with direct flights.
	🚂 1:39pm chris in the redwoods: this is a wonderful set of music, David D. zero productivity happening. just listening.. :)
	🚂 1:39pm YETI BOB: she came across by boat but maybe i don't have to be completely faithful to history!
	1:40pm David (in London): Yeti Bob, well I'm planning on going in the other direction, so don't leave Chicago before I have a chance to swing by....
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Phillippe i'll scroll down to catch up ...
	🚂 1:41pm Brian in UK: Phillippe & Stanley. Welcome to the Christmas shit show. So sad to hear of your travails. I do have the proverbial t-shirt. Wearing it today. Stanley, it will give your Mum some rest but be lonely too.
	1:41pm David Dichelle: Happy to help, Chris ;)
	🚂 1:42pm Handy Haversack: YB and David: Party in Greenpoint!
	🚂 1:43pm YETI BOB: Handy - that would be so great!! Apropos nothing much at all, I bought an ice tray that makes dodecahedron ice cubes (a shape I've been obsessed with since childhood, thanks to the Phantom Tollbooth)
	1:43pm Stanley: Hi Brian. Yes, it will but she has a few friends who will call by.
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: Good Luck Stanley and Phillippe hi Yeti Bob and Bas
	🚂 1:45pm YETI BOB: So now I'm trying to find a good cocktail recipe to use with those. Like a "quintessence" cocktail.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: Twelve siders are my (and all right-thinking people's) favorite dice, YB! That sounds pretty cool!
	🚂 1:46pm Bas NL: Hi coel! And my guess for this week is Kyrgyzstan.
	🚂 1:47pm Michael 98145: Those tankards won't fill themselves. - Axial tilt is the Reason for the season -
	1:48pm David Dichelle: Michael: It's also a way to win at pinball.
	1:48pm spodiodi: nice
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: chresti i recorded it, clandestinely... though she would've let me, as she thought she was great! that tape's ~25 years old now. one day i'll find it and see if it plays
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: my random road points toward egypt again
	1:49pm David (in London): Handy, I'll bring the jellied eels and Marmite.
	1:50pm Stanley: Thanks coela My punt this week, before David gives it away with his 'clue' is Japan
	1:51pm David Dichelle: No clue, but reveal coming up...
	🚂 1:51pm Bas NL: Great cover this! :)
	🚂 1:51pm dutchtheo: Vanuatu!
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: i'll have some marmite. jellied eels i'll pass on though, thanks
	🚂 1:51pm YETI BOB: HH: You know about the relation of the dodecahedron to "quintessence"? (goes back to Plato) - I need a good quintessence cocktail now.
	🚂 1:51pm chresti: Stanley, remember the listener scraps? They commented from a care home last time I saw, maybe 2 years ago?
	🚂 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Already done, dutchtheo. See the top of the chat board.
	🚂 1:52pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Let's see what goes on with Mom. Bro is coming in from Australia thru end of year this weekend; Mom wants to see her grandson one last time and Alex wants to see his Mom. Family politics shitshow in full swing RE schedule management, etc.
	🚂 1:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also if we DO have a mini WFMU hootenanny in the outer boros, I will try to dig up MY old D20 ice mold! :D More fun in the punch bowl!
	🚂 1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I vaguely remember seeing a spherical Moon ice mold somewhere; may need to track that down.
	🚂 1:54pm dutchtheo: Aha! Ireland!
	🚂 1:54pm YETI BOB: I have a sphere mold too, but it lacks moon-features
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: hmm, all this time in northern africa makes me second guess my guess. i'll stay in africa but go to south africa
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I know it's one of the Platonic solids, YB (which is also why it's a die shape, QED). But not directly how it relates to quintessence. I'm thinking gin, Aperol, dry vermouth, orange bitters for the Quintessence? Maybe add a soda float? Heard, 3Moons. We'll get it done when it's peaceable and easy.
	🚂 1:56pm chresti: We have a brain mold.
	🚂 1:56pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH thank you! Also...this. barproducts.com...
	🚂 1:56pm Handy Haversack: The Levellers' "Belarus" would have been a good hint for this one, methinks!
	1:56pm David (in London): I just have brain mould.
	🚂 1:56pm Bas NL: Belarus! Interesting!
	1:58pm Phillippe: @threemoons and @stanley @1;30 Thanks! Just was on the phone with the rehab place...
	🚂 1:58pm Michael 98145: They got a significant dose of the Chernobyl mess
	🚂 1:59pm YETI BOB: HH: The ol' Greeks had 4 elements and 5 favorite hapes. And so this led to the idea that the shape of the atoms caused their properties. Fire was tetrahedral (pointy). Earth was cubes (stacks nicely). Water was icosadedron a.k.a. D20 because they roll and flow. And air was an octahedron, I don't remember why.
	2:00pm Phillippe: @YB I went to Bratislava for work about a decade ago and loved it
	🚂 2:00pm Handy Haversack: Dodecahedron is phlogiston?
	2:01pm doctorjazz: Hello commuters!
	🚂 2:01pm YETI BOB: So that left the 5th shape left over - the "quintessence". Some say it represents the unity of the Universe.
	2:01pm David Dichelle: Hey, Dr. J.!
	2:02pm Phillippe: Thanks Brian @1:41 coel @1:45
	2:02pm Will in Norman: добрый день, товарищи
	🚂 2:04pm Carmichael: Jaysis, marathon meeting ... Heya David and musical freedom riders.
	2:05pm David Dichelle: Dobry den, Will and Carmichael!
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: YB, I know people who go out of their way to make sure the d12 stays relevant: www.lulu.com...
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: (Carmichael, this would be an excellent time to guess Belarus!)
	🚂 2:08pm redkayak: Happy Thursday all! Sorry I'm late getting on board :)
	2:08pm David Dichelle: Ahoy, Redkayak!
	🚂 2:09pm Michael 98145: we will probably have to produce passports in Belarus
	🚂 2:09pm redkayak: @David - Ahoy there Captain! Any icebergs on the horizon?
	🚂 2:10pm dutchtheo: www.youtube.com... Here some xmas vibes, from the first band Pesniary...
	2:11pm David Dichelle: RK: One hopes not!
	🚂 2:11pm Brian in UK: redkayak, hello. No icebergs but plenty of swelling rivers over here.
	🚂 2:11pm YETI BOB: (wow that was the shortest work meeting yet, half of my team is already on break, we finished in 10 min)
	🚂 2:12pm YETI BOB: Handy - my parents weren't particularly interested in surrealism or geometry, but they were Christians, and they had this Dali painting in the house where I grew up www.artsy.net...
	🚂 2:12pm redkayak: @David - Indeed so! It's been warm here...no doubt this will change....
	🚂 2:14pm YETI BOB: Also there's this physicsworld.com... some cosmologists think the universe might actually BE a dodecahedron, which would be awfully weird (Plato was right all along!)
	🚂 2:15pm Brian in UK: YETI BOB is that a Bloody Mary within JC's grasp. I see no celery.
	🚂 2:15pm Michael 98145: cosmic topology is a fascinating field
	2:16pm David Dichelle: Mild week here as well, yesterday sunny and 9°C - today rainy and the same - practically spring.
	🚂 2:17pm YETI BOB: Brian in UK: I never thought about what JC was drinking, but to me it's not quite opaque enough to be a bloody mary (or wine) - look at the light on the table - to my eye it's a golden amber color. Like some nice whiskey.
	🚂 2:18pm Handy Haversack: YB, I think the obvious answer is that it's a Quintessence!
	🚂 2:19pm YETI BOB: HH: INDEED! Now I just need the recipe.
	🚂 2:19pm Brian in UK: YETI BOB, he would need that.
	🚂 2:20pm YETI BOB: HH: I like your suggestion above, I'[m going to try gin/aperol/vermouth/orange bitters. With the soda float, because it needs 5 ingredients.
	🚂 2:21pm chris in the redwoods: so they do indeed jam the hell out in Belarus. nice.
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: That reminds me - did you know, "punch" comes from the same root as "fünf"? Because traditionally there are 5 ingredients.
	🚂 2:22pm Handy Haversack: Presumably same root and ingredients for a knuckle sandwich?
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: This conversation is making me very thirsty. BBWAB.
	2:24pm David Dichelle: YB: Yes, same root as five, cinq, pyat', pente, and many others in fact.
	🚂 2:24pm Brian in UK: One day I would like to visit the now protected forest on the Poland/Belarus border. Th last herd of European Bison were slaughtered by soldiers trying to survive World War 1.
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: In Dutch 'vijf'. Don't know where it's roots are.
	🚂 2:29pm Brian in UK: One day, maybe. www.bpn.com.pl
	🚂 2:29pm Michael 98145: Pass the Żubrówka, please. These are great tracks.
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Bas: Germanic < Indo-European roots. Most of the single-digit numbers correlate across the entire family, some having had more interesting journeys than others.
	🚂 2:32pm YETI BOB: not a typo - stands for Be Back With A Beer ... which I am! Prost!!
	🚂 2:32pm Bas NL: That figures!
	2:33pm David Dichelle: YB: Zum Wohl!
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Bas, it does indeed!
	2:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:35pm YETI BOB: Also I grew up with a poster of this in my bedroom - my aunt gave it to my on my 5th birthday - "I Saw The Figure 5 In Gold" by Charles Demuth www.metmuseum.org...
	🚂 2:35pm YETI BOB: so the obsession with 5 and 12 started early
	2:35pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm- https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/110713
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Brian: Yes, hopefully when things are less crazy there and everywhere.
	🚂 2:36pm Handy Haversack: That was fast, YB -- skipped secondary fermentation?
	2:36pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	🚂 2:36pm chris in the redwoods: the Belarussian Pogues! :)
	🚂 2:36pm Bas NL: Stylish YB!
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Nice accordion! Chris, I was thinking they sounded like Flogging Molly!
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Chris: Every country has one - or should at least.
	2:37pm Will in Norman: i'm really sad that i'm missing this music but i'm on the phone trying to set up a covid test (for travel not sick afaik) rn
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: (I guess FM is the USAian Pogues!)
	🚂 2:39pm YETI BOB: Michael - re Żubrówka: "In the US, it's taboo because the Food and Drug Administration prohibits a potentially toxic chemical that occurs naturally in bison grass, coumarin. Until recently, only a few black-market bottles were available, mainly in the Polish neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Chicago." (I've had it, it's delicious)
	2:39pm David Dichelle: Good luck, Will, hope you get through.
	🚂 2:40pm Michael 98145: @YetiBob, did not know that. I've consumed several bottles here in WA.
	🚂 2:41pm Carmichael: What'cha drinkin', Michael?
	2:41pm Will in Norman: i'm sure your music would be way better hold music than the 5 university anthems i'm having to sit thru instead
	🚂 2:41pm Brian in UK: YB, no problem getting outside of a bottle here.
	🚂 2:41pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @YetiBob funny, I buy it all the time here in Queens! Tasty stuff!
	🚂 2:41pm Michael 98145: @carm, coffee right now. it's a bit too early for the rest ...
	🚂 2:42pm YETI BOB: that info is a bit old - i think they found a way to remove the coumarin so it's legal now
	🚂 2:42pm Bas NL: Sounds like a note in a RMA form i received from a US company today: 'If it's dirty, we'll send it back.'
	2:42pm Alex In Illinois: Belarussian bagpipes!
	🚂 2:43pm Michael 98145: concertina? @Alex
	🚂 2:43pm Handy Haversack: Stary Olsa should tour with Auļi!
	2:47pm David Dichelle: Handy: Maybe they have.
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: @Carmichael, finally getting some rain ?
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: I'd see that show! Dzieciuki, too!
	2:48pm Will in Norman: lol is this rock me amadeus?
	2:48pm David Dichelle: Will: Sort of.
	2:48pm Will in Norman: i gave up & decided to go with a pharmacy instead of university services
	🚂 2:48pm Bas NL: Slavic rap.. brilliant!
	2:49pm Stanley: It's Rock Me Amadeus for me
	2:49pm David Dichelle: It is, they credit Falco, but very much reimagined.
	2:50pm Stanley: And I'm enjoying it.
	2:51pm Stanley: Ended on a high, David. Great stuff.
	🚂 2:52pm YETI BOB: I haven't seen it in decades, but Stolichnaya used to have a flavored version with "mountain herbs" - called something like Okotnichaya (?) I can't find anything about it online, anyone know what I'm talking about?
	2:52pm spodiodi: thanks, David! most enjoyable ride today cheerio, Continent-all!
	🚂 2:52pm Bas NL: Nice, nice set!! Belarus, noted!
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: What a great set! Thanks again, David D.
	🚂 2:53pm Brian in UK: A decent vodka should be kept in the freezer. But you knew that!!
	🚂 2:53pm YETI BOB: Ha! Thanks David!! Love it!
	🚂 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Will, there are free testing tents pretty widely distributed here, but the past week the lines have been a block long! K8 got one in about 15 mins. today, though.

	🚂 2:54pm Brian in UK: David, every week an education. Thank you.

	12:41pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Melinda!
	12:42pm Marie: This sounds like a Broadway musical type version
	12:43pm David Dichelle: I'd go see that musical.
	12:46pm David (in London): It stars Ethel Merman and David Essex.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: greetings David, subterranean Freedom Riders
	12:48pm Stanley: Chiming in. Good evening David and everyone.
	🚂 12:49pm Handy Haversack: Evening, Stanley. Afternoon, coela.
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: hey Handy!
	12:51pm coelacanth∅: she is woman
	12:51pm David (in London): Evening Stanley and Coela. Stanley - have you sat around today in a vest drinking lager?
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Salutations, Coel and Stanley!
	12:51pm David Dichelle: She is indeed.
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: (she says)
	12:52pm coelacanth∅: hey David!
	12:54pm coelacanth∅: (Davids)
	🚂 12:55pm Brian in UK: David (in London) Love the name of Rab C Nesbitt's pub. The Two Ways Inn.
	12:56pm David (in London): My somewhat unimaginative choice of FMU profile handle always comes a cropper on this show. I think, 'Wow, everyone is saying hello to me, look how popular I am!' and then I realise it's Herr Dichelle that everyone's greeting...
	12:57pm David (in London): Vera' cooking up a storm here! Brian, ha ha!
	12:57pm David Dichelle: David: The more the merrier!
	🚂 12:58pm βrian: Ach, those old-school bike racks! So many wheels have died in them!
	1:01pm David Dichelle: βrian: Indeed, luckily we do have proper ones around as well.
	🚂 1:01pm chresti: Sorry I'm missing the chat, my ears were getting bent..
	1:03pm coelacanth∅: David(iL) but everyone's saying hello to you too! i added the plural when i considered that i'd already said hi to our Host and said hi to you immediately after he'd greeted me - lest i appear to be losing it, or to be playing games... which of course i'm not, and never do. . .
	1:04pm coelacanth∅: Věra does all the hits
	1:05pm David Dichelle: She turned them all into hits.
	1:06pm northguineahills: Kurt must have played Vera…..
	1:07pm coelacanth∅: play her cover of sexpistols' god save the queen next, wont you? she surely did that one...
	1:08pm David Dichelle: Coel: I wonder if that would have got past the Czech censors, there must have been a line to cross somewhere.
	1:08pm David Dichelle: NGH: Without a doubt.
	🚂 1:11pm Brian in UK: All these are post '68.
	1:13pm coelacanth∅: Věra's cover of heart of glass is a good bit better than my former downstairs neighbor's version.
	1:14pm coelacanth∅: (subtitled "i have a heart of glass and it broke so now i sound like a dying dog")
	1:18pm Phillippe: Howdy. Brasil/Brazil here
	1:19pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Phillippe!
	🚂 1:20pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe. Hope things are smoothing for you!
	1:21pm Phillippe: Hey Handy! Waves are rough as ever, but we are getting things under control. How are your kitties, all healthy?
	1:23pm Stanley: Hi David Darn Sarf - no chance, Spent most of the day on the phone helping mother sort out Dad's situation. He had a fall a couple of days ago, back from hospital with stichted up forehead and hand (he fell on a glass he was carrying and thank goodness it wasn't worse ) and we arranged, with the doctor's help, to get him admitted to a rehabilitation centre for physical therapy. Looks like he'll be there for three weeks. It's been a busy day but rest assured I was in my underpants and the lager can was not far from my side. Cheers (burp).
	1:26pm Stanley: (Sorry to hoover up the vibes in here)
	1:28pm Phillippe: @Stanley my mom is heading to rehab today as well
	🚂 1:28pm YETI BOB: Hello friends.
	1:28pm David Dichelle: That sounds painful, all the best to your father, Stanley.
	1:29pm David Dichelle: Hello Yeti Bob!
	🚂 1:29pm YETI BOB: Stanley and Phillipe, wishing you strength to deal with the aging parents. (There's a lot of that going around)
	1:29pm David Dichelle: And best wishes to your mother, Phillippe!
	1:30pm David (in London): Phillippe / Yeti Bob - Greetings pals. Stanley, sorry to hear that my friend. Your poor dad. Not the best way to be spending Christmas. Hang in there.
	🚂 1:30pm YETI BOB: David - I'll have to go back to the archive and check out Věra Špinarová! I was eating lunch so I missed it. My grandparents were from CZ so I always enjoy hearing that stuff.
	🚂 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Oof, Stanley, sorry to hear it! Lager consolation extra important! Phillippe, I think so. They were playing half the night, and for some reason this worried the dog, who would not stop crying. I think I got about four hours of sleep. Can we just skip ahead to next Thursday when I begin a week and a half without work? We are run to a ragged edge here.
	🚂 1:30pm chresti: Haha Øheart of dying dogØ
	🚂 1:30pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Stanley and @Phillippe I feel you both -- good luck with the folks.
	1:31pm Stanley: Phillippe - good luck for both of you and the family. Thanks eveyone - it's probably for the best
	1:31pm David Dichelle: Yeti Bob: Which part were they from?
	🚂 1:31pm YETI BOB: The Slovak side, a small village not far from Bratislava
	🚂 1:32pm YETI BOB: so Slovak is the (grand)mother tongue, not Czech.... I still enjoy hearing it though!
	🚂 1:32pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I am dying for some paid time off, but I already took off a bunch of time since Mom's diagnosis....my idea of Paradise right now is 72 hours of solid sleep.
	🚂 1:33pm YETI BOB: DD: Moravské Lieskové, Nové Mesto nad Váhom, Slovakia. to be precise!
	1:33pm David Dichelle: YB: Yes, the languages are similar although I've heard that younger people have been having a harder time understanding the other one since the country split apart due to fewer contacts.
	1:33pm Stanley: I wonder many of us will still be listening and commenting from our rehab centres/nursing homes/hospital beds in the (not so far away, for some of us) future.
	1:33pm David Dichelle: Moravské must be very close to Moravia, though.
	🚂 1:34pm YETI BOB: I've never been. One of these days I will make a pilgrimage. My grandmother always had a lot of Polish friends, she said Polish was easier for her to understand than Czech
	🚂 1:34pm Handy Haversack: Heard, Threemoons. Heard. But also let us know if you want to get a drink in LIC or Greenpoint during the end of the year times, if you're able.
	🚂 1:34pm Michael 98145: Slavic languages are confusing. Nouns change depending on context , etc ...
	🚂 1:35pm Michael 98145: My Slovak ancestors were nearly Ukrainian
	1:35pm David Dichelle: Michael: Yes, there are six or seven cases with different case endings.
	🚂 1:36pm Bas NL: Hi David! Station dwellers!
	🚂 1:36pm YETI BOB: (looking at map) I misspoke, it's not that close to Bratislava. Like I said, I haven't been ther yet. But the family legend is that my grandmother ran away from home (fleeing an arranged marriage) and went first to Bratsilava, then Vienna, then London, and wound up in Newark NJ
	1:36pm David Dichelle: Greetings, Bas!
	🚂 1:37pm YETI BOB: Once Covid is really over, I'm going to do the trip in reverse ... Newark, London, Vienna, Bratislava then wind up in Moravské Lieskové
	1:39pm David Dichelle: Sounds like a well planned itinerary even with direct flights.
	🚂 1:39pm chris in the redwoods: this is a wonderful set of music, David D. zero productivity happening. just listening.. :)
	🚂 1:39pm YETI BOB: she came across by boat but maybe i don't have to be completely faithful to history!
	1:40pm David (in London): Yeti Bob, well I'm planning on going in the other direction, so don't leave Chicago before I have a chance to swing by....
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Phillippe i'll scroll down to catch up ...
	🚂 1:41pm Brian in UK: Phillippe & Stanley. Welcome to the Christmas shit show. So sad to hear of your travails. I do have the proverbial t-shirt. Wearing it today. Stanley, it will give your Mum some rest but be lonely too.
	1:41pm David Dichelle: Happy to help, Chris ;)
	🚂 1:42pm Handy Haversack: YB and David: Party in Greenpoint!
	🚂 1:43pm YETI BOB: Handy - that would be so great!! Apropos nothing much at all, I bought an ice tray that makes dodecahedron ice cubes (a shape I've been obsessed with since childhood, thanks to the Phantom Tollbooth)
	1:43pm Stanley: Hi Brian. Yes, it will but she has a few friends who will call by.
	1:45pm coelacanth∅: Good Luck Stanley and Phillippe hi Yeti Bob and Bas
	🚂 1:45pm YETI BOB: So now I'm trying to find a good cocktail recipe to use with those. Like a "quintessence" cocktail.
	🚂 1:45pm Handy Haversack: Twelve siders are my (and all right-thinking people's) favorite dice, YB! That sounds pretty cool!
	🚂 1:46pm Bas NL: Hi coel! And my guess for this week is Kyrgyzstan.
	🚂 1:47pm Michael 98145: Those tankards won't fill themselves. - Axial tilt is the Reason for the season -
	1:48pm David Dichelle: Michael: It's also a way to win at pinball.
	1:48pm spodiodi: nice
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: chresti i recorded it, clandestinely... though she would've let me, as she thought she was great! that tape's ~25 years old now. one day i'll find it and see if it plays
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: my random road points toward egypt again
	1:49pm David (in London): Handy, I'll bring the jellied eels and Marmite.
	1:50pm Stanley: Thanks coela My punt this week, before David gives it away with his 'clue' is Japan
	1:51pm David Dichelle: No clue, but reveal coming up...
	🚂 1:51pm Bas NL: Great cover this! :)
	🚂 1:51pm dutchtheo: Vanuatu!
	1:51pm coelacanth∅: i'll have some marmite. jellied eels i'll pass on though, thanks
	🚂 1:51pm YETI BOB: HH: You know about the relation of the dodecahedron to "quintessence"? (goes back to Plato) - I need a good quintessence cocktail now.
	🚂 1:51pm chresti: Stanley, remember the listener scraps? They commented from a care home last time I saw, maybe 2 years ago?
	🚂 1:52pm Handy Haversack: Already done, dutchtheo. See the top of the chat board.
	🚂 1:52pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Let's see what goes on with Mom. Bro is coming in from Australia thru end of year this weekend; Mom wants to see her grandson one last time and Alex wants to see his Mom. Family politics shitshow in full swing RE schedule management, etc.
	🚂 1:53pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also if we DO have a mini WFMU hootenanny in the outer boros, I will try to dig up MY old D20 ice mold! :D More fun in the punch bowl!
	🚂 1:54pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I vaguely remember seeing a spherical Moon ice mold somewhere; may need to track that down.
	🚂 1:54pm dutchtheo: Aha! Ireland!
	🚂 1:54pm YETI BOB: I have a sphere mold too, but it lacks moon-features
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: hmm, all this time in northern africa makes me second guess my guess. i'll stay in africa but go to south africa
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: I know it's one of the Platonic solids, YB (which is also why it's a die shape, QED). But not directly how it relates to quintessence. I'm thinking gin, Aperol, dry vermouth, orange bitters for the Quintessence? Maybe add a soda float? Heard, 3Moons. We'll get it done when it's peaceable and easy.
	🚂 1:56pm chresti: We have a brain mold.
	🚂 1:56pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH thank you! Also...this. barproducts.com...
	🚂 1:56pm Handy Haversack: The Levellers' "Belarus" would have been a good hint for this one, methinks!
	1:56pm David (in London): I just have brain mould.
	🚂 1:56pm Bas NL: Belarus! Interesting!
	1:58pm Phillippe: @threemoons and @stanley @1;30 Thanks! Just was on the phone with the rehab place...
	🚂 1:58pm Michael 98145: They got a significant dose of the Chernobyl mess
	🚂 1:59pm YETI BOB: HH: The ol' Greeks had 4 elements and 5 favorite hapes. And so this led to the idea that the shape of the atoms caused their properties. Fire was tetrahedral (pointy). Earth was cubes (stacks nicely). Water was icosadedron a.k.a. D20 because they roll and flow. And air was an octahedron, I don't remember why.
	2:00pm Phillippe: @YB I went to Bratislava for work about a decade ago and loved it
	🚂 2:00pm Handy Haversack: Dodecahedron is phlogiston?
	2:01pm doctorjazz: Hello commuters!
	🚂 2:01pm YETI BOB: So that left the 5th shape left over - the "quintessence". Some say it represents the unity of the Universe.
	2:01pm David Dichelle: Hey, Dr. J.!
	2:02pm Phillippe: Thanks Brian @1:41 coel @1:45
	2:02pm Will in Norman: добрый день, товарищи
	🚂 2:04pm Carmichael: Jaysis, marathon meeting ... Heya David and musical freedom riders.
	2:05pm David Dichelle: Dobry den, Will and Carmichael!
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: YB, I know people who go out of their way to make sure the d12 stays relevant: www.lulu.com...
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: (Carmichael, this would be an excellent time to guess Belarus!)
	🚂 2:08pm redkayak: Happy Thursday all! Sorry I'm late getting on board :)
	2:08pm David Dichelle: Ahoy, Redkayak!
	🚂 2:09pm Michael 98145: we will probably have to produce passports in Belarus
	🚂 2:09pm redkayak: @David - Ahoy there Captain! Any icebergs on the horizon?
	🚂 2:10pm dutchtheo: www.youtube.com... Here some xmas vibes, from the first band Pesniary...
	2:11pm David Dichelle: RK: One hopes not!
	🚂 2:11pm Brian in UK: redkayak, hello. No icebergs but plenty of swelling rivers over here.
	🚂 2:11pm YETI BOB: (wow that was the shortest work meeting yet, half of my team is already on break, we finished in 10 min)
	🚂 2:12pm YETI BOB: Handy - my parents weren't particularly interested in surrealism or geometry, but they were Christians, and they had this Dali painting in the house where I grew up www.artsy.net...
	🚂 2:12pm redkayak: @David - Indeed so! It's been warm here...no doubt this will change....
	🚂 2:14pm YETI BOB: Also there's this physicsworld.com... some cosmologists think the universe might actually BE a dodecahedron, which would be awfully weird (Plato was right all along!)
	🚂 2:15pm Brian in UK: YETI BOB is that a Bloody Mary within JC's grasp. I see no celery.
	🚂 2:15pm Michael 98145: cosmic topology is a fascinating field
	2:16pm David Dichelle: Mild week here as well, yesterday sunny and 9°C - today rainy and the same - practically spring.
	🚂 2:17pm YETI BOB: Brian in UK: I never thought about what JC was drinking, but to me it's not quite opaque enough to be a bloody mary (or wine) - look at the light on the table - to my eye it's a golden amber color. Like some nice whiskey.
	🚂 2:18pm Handy Haversack: YB, I think the obvious answer is that it's a Quintessence!
	🚂 2:19pm YETI BOB: HH: INDEED! Now I just need the recipe.
	🚂 2:19pm Brian in UK: YETI BOB, he would need that.
	🚂 2:20pm YETI BOB: HH: I like your suggestion above, I'[m going to try gin/aperol/vermouth/orange bitters. With the soda float, because it needs 5 ingredients.
	🚂 2:21pm chris in the redwoods: so they do indeed jam the hell out in Belarus. nice.
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: That reminds me - did you know, "punch" comes from the same root as "fünf"? Because traditionally there are 5 ingredients.
	🚂 2:22pm Handy Haversack: Presumably same root and ingredients for a knuckle sandwich?
	🚂 2:22pm YETI BOB: This conversation is making me very thirsty. BBWAB.
	2:24pm David Dichelle: YB: Yes, same root as five, cinq, pyat', pente, and many others in fact.
	🚂 2:24pm Brian in UK: One day I would like to visit the now protected forest on the Poland/Belarus border. Th last herd of European Bison were slaughtered by soldiers trying to survive World War 1.
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: In Dutch 'vijf'. Don't know where it's roots are.
	🚂 2:29pm Brian in UK: One day, maybe. www.bpn.com.pl
	🚂 2:29pm Michael 98145: Pass the Żubrówka, please. These are great tracks.
	2:30pm David Dichelle: Bas: Germanic < Indo-European roots. Most of the single-digit numbers correlate across the entire family, some having had more interesting journeys than others.
	🚂 2:32pm YETI BOB: not a typo - stands for Be Back With A Beer ... which I am! Prost!!
	🚂 2:32pm Bas NL: That figures!
	2:33pm David Dichelle: YB: Zum Wohl!
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Bas, it does indeed!
	2:35pm Funky16Corners: Hey David!
	🚂 2:35pm YETI BOB: Also I grew up with a poster of this in my bedroom - my aunt gave it to my on my 5th birthday - "I Saw The Figure 5 In Gold" by Charles Demuth www.metmuseum.org...
	🚂 2:35pm YETI BOB: so the obsession with 5 and 12 started early
	2:35pm Funky16Corners: Testify! Coming up at 3pm- https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/110713
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Brian: Yes, hopefully when things are less crazy there and everywhere.
	🚂 2:36pm Handy Haversack: That was fast, YB -- skipped secondary fermentation?
	2:36pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry!
	🚂 2:36pm chris in the redwoods: the Belarussian Pogues! :)
	🚂 2:36pm Bas NL: Stylish YB!
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: Nice accordion! Chris, I was thinking they sounded like Flogging Molly!
	2:37pm David Dichelle: Chris: Every country has one - or should at least.
	2:37pm Will in Norman: i'm really sad that i'm missing this music but i'm on the phone trying to set up a covid test (for travel not sick afaik) rn
	🚂 2:37pm Handy Haversack: (I guess FM is the USAian Pogues!)
	🚂 2:39pm YETI BOB: Michael - re Żubrówka: "In the US, it's taboo because the Food and Drug Administration prohibits a potentially toxic chemical that occurs naturally in bison grass, coumarin. Until recently, only a few black-market bottles were available, mainly in the Polish neighborhoods of Brooklyn and Chicago." (I've had it, it's delicious)
	2:39pm David Dichelle: Good luck, Will, hope you get through.
	🚂 2:40pm Michael 98145: @YetiBob, did not know that. I've consumed several bottles here in WA.
	🚂 2:41pm Carmichael: What'cha drinkin', Michael?
	2:41pm Will in Norman: i'm sure your music would be way better hold music than the 5 university anthems i'm having to sit thru instead
	🚂 2:41pm Brian in UK: YB, no problem getting outside of a bottle here.
	🚂 2:41pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @YetiBob funny, I buy it all the time here in Queens! Tasty stuff!
	🚂 2:41pm Michael 98145: @carm, coffee right now. it's a bit too early for the rest ...
	🚂 2:42pm YETI BOB: that info is a bit old - i think they found a way to remove the coumarin so it's legal now
	🚂 2:42pm Bas NL: Sounds like a note in a RMA form i received from a US company today: 'If it's dirty, we'll send it back.'
	2:42pm Alex In Illinois: Belarussian bagpipes!
	🚂 2:43pm Michael 98145: concertina? @Alex
	🚂 2:43pm Handy Haversack: Stary Olsa should tour with Auļi!
	2:47pm David Dichelle: Handy: Maybe they have.
	🚂 2:47pm Michael 98145: @Carmichael, finally getting some rain ?
	🚂 2:48pm Handy Haversack: I'd see that show! Dzieciuki, too!
	2:48pm Will in Norman: lol is this rock me amadeus?
	2:48pm David Dichelle: Will: Sort of.
	2:48pm Will in Norman: i gave up & decided to go with a pharmacy instead of university services
	🚂 2:48pm Bas NL: Slavic rap.. brilliant!
	2:49pm Stanley: It's Rock Me Amadeus for me
	2:49pm David Dichelle: It is, they credit Falco, but very much reimagined.
	2:50pm Stanley: And I'm enjoying it.
	2:51pm Stanley: Ended on a high, David. Great stuff.
	🚂 2:52pm YETI BOB: I haven't seen it in decades, but Stolichnaya used to have a flavored version with "mountain herbs" - called something like Okotnichaya (?) I can't find anything about it online, anyone know what I'm talking about?
	2:52pm spodiodi: thanks, David! most enjoyable ride today cheerio, Continent-all!
	🚂 2:52pm Bas NL: Nice, nice set!! Belarus, noted!
	🚂 2:52pm Michael 98145: What a great set! Thanks again, David D.
	🚂 2:53pm Brian in UK: A decent vodka should be kept in the freezer. But you knew that!!
	🚂 2:53pm YETI BOB: Ha! Thanks David!! Love it!
	🚂 2:54pm Handy Haversack: Will, there are free testing tents pretty widely distributed here, but the past week the lines have been a block long! K8 got one in about 15 mins. today, though. That went too fast! The Belarusian excursion was great. Thanks for finding, as always, David. I am no longer willing to travel by any method but Continental Subway! Keep faring forward, Voyageurs!
	🚂 2:54pm Brian in UK: David, every week an education. Thank you.
	🚂 2:54pm YETI BOB: oh here it is - let's see if i can find somewhere to buy this in the USA. www.thewhiskyexchange.com...
