Lolabelle Pancake:

The House of Nonsense was Courtney's first attempt at a poutin' shanty. Admittedly it was overly ambitious, and was misunderstood by his neighbors, who complained about violations of local zoning regulations. Eventually it was downsized to a modest, shack-sized redoubt.
Avatar 12:04pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Also, it was attracting curious amusement-seekers. "The wrong kind of riff-raff," Courtney complained.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm
G:

So a bunch of pre-1923 music recordings went into public domain in the US on Jan 1. Is Courtney going to get into mashups or something?
  6:17pm
Listener Robert:

Does that say "FORGET DULL CARE" or "FORGET BULL CARE"?
  6:18pm
Listener Robert:

Maybe "FORGET GULL CARE".
