	1:25pm drr: steveo: thanks for the link! "Flyface was considered one of Gould's most repulsive creations. His appearance, followed closely by his equally disgusting mother and nephew, reportedly resulted in many newspapers across the country discontinuing the strip."
	1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I suppose monstrous villains are as ancient as Mythology...
	1:28pm Juke Joint Jonny: Well, of course you do the baboon boogie coconut style. How else?

	1:49pm Juke Joint Jonny: Now, THIS. Is groovy.
	1:49pm Pax: I've been listening to the opening of fool's Paradise so long that it sets my mind like an alarm clock when i hear Slim Pickens say that thing about kicking a mud hole in the backside and stomping right; it signifies to me that it's officially Saturday.
	1:49pm SWK: That is a sexy saxophone
	🌮 1:49pm Bruce S.: Rex, You are outdoing Yourself Today, Great Stuff!
	1:49pm Don F.: Sorry to hear about your pooch, Rex. Did Dr. X Tract M offer doggie implants?

	1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 dawgy
	🌮 1:53pm Mailman Tom: I bought a jar of Welch's Jam today
	1:53pm Pax: Dave miss: hah, as in Pavlov's dog I'm assuming that's what you're alluding to.
	1:54pm medson: Hey Rex and all fools
	🌮 1:54pm Bruce S.: Welches Wine, Is that available at the Supermarket?
	1:54pm ledzeppelinsucks: 'wholesome' and 'world class' are worthless marketing terms.
	1:54pm dave miss: "Everyday is Saturday to a dog"
	1:54pm dave miss: Hey Medson!
	1:54pm Don F.: Don't Welch on that bet!
	1:55pm medson: Hi there dave miss
	1:57pm PuraVida: Great first hour Rex. Been listening along quietly...
	1:57pm Pax: Dave miss: figures I would pick the wrong reference.
	1:58pm PuraVida: Also hi everyone
	1:58pm Juke Joint Jonny: Ooooooh, I get it now. It's Jap Curry Blazers as in "Jap" Curry's Blazers. Still, Mr. Curry has a rather unfortunate appellation.
	1:58pm egould: @Dave wuz here Salado, TX circa 1976. My brother ate a huge basket full of hush puppies, topped with a couple of banana fritters. On the drive home to Killeen, all those fried morsels came up in the back of the Plymouth Valiant. I remember being fascinated by the maraschino cherries from the fritters; they were still perfectly intact.
	1:58pm Don. F.: Awesome Longhair. Thx for playin' Rex!
	1:59pm PuraVida: Preston Love did a GREAT album with Shuggie Otis
	2:00pm Juke Joint Jonny: Country Boogie, now thst's some truth in advertising
	2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminds me of 'Monkey Speaks His Mind' ...'cept this is a hush monkey I suppose...
	2:01pm PuraVida: Preston Love Featuring Shuggie Otis – Preston Love's Omaha Bar-B-Q Kent Records 1970 Alto Saxophone, Flute – Preston Love Guitar, Electric Bass – Shuggie Otis Piano, Vibraphone – Johnny Otis Tenor Saxophone – Clifford Solomon
	2:02pm P-90: “…obviously a well organized, well planned hoax” -I KNEW IT!
	2:03pm Juke Joint Jonny: Thank Q, El Jefe. First cocktail of the day shall be in your honor
	2:03pm DjLorraine: Cricket!
	2:05pm dave miss: @egould...sounds memorable and something that would've happened to me
	2:05pm Handy Haversack: JJJ, have I ever told you about the Hellmouth? Cocktail I developed when a black raspberry bush we adopted apparently ended up over a Hellmouth and produced insane amounts of berries. And what am I supposed to do? Bake 'em? As if!
	2:06pm medson: Spazz always has room for pudding and or jello
	2:07pm Chris Hiatt: Cool track, great saxophonist. Would love to know more about The Rolling Crew.
	2:08pm Juke Joint Jonny: When life gives you demon berries, Handy
	2:10pm dave miss: make Jam Handy
	🌮 2:11pm Hubig Pie: Always remember, when in voodoo country , act like the locals and walk like a zombie.
	2:11pm Handy Haversack: OF glass, muddle 4-6 berries in .25 oz. Luxardo. Add 2 oz. light rum, 1 oz. Suze, 1 oz. lemon juice. Ice to 1/2" from rim, top with soda. Garnish with 4-6 more berries. I have subbed in blueberries with peach garnish and even subbed gin and .5 oz. Campari for the boozegredients. Sounds explosive or botulistic, dave miss!
	2:11pm PuraVida: With Handy here, when life gives you too many berries, invent cocktails...
	2:12pm egould: Epilogue to my brother’s hush puppy incident; six years later my brother cartwheeled that same Plymouth Valiant into a frozen cornfield just outside of New Castle, IN. The Valiant was totaled. He walked away without a scratch.
	2:12pm Pax: When life gives you demon berries, you make demonade.
	2:12pm Mister Dobalina: As anyone see my stimalah pills? Misplaced them & might need a few tonight.
	2:12pm Juke Joint Jonny: Oh, Hell yes, Handy. That sounds terrific
	2:13pm dave miss: what exactly is a hellmouth?
	2:14pm egould: Berries freeze well. Freezing and thawing them makes for better pie filling or cocktail muddling, by the way.
	🌮 2:15pm Bruce S.: A Hellmouth is when you kiss your significant other at Sixo'clock in the morning
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: You know. Portal. Demon realms. Eldritch energies. Lots of berries. Some monsterism.
	2:15pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, Fools!
	🌮 2:15pm Hubig Pie: That Suze brings a powerful floral punch to the tastebuds. It's an aquired taste
	2:16pm PuraVida: Wow that Rolling Crew - Home on Alcrataz 45 goes for $250 on the open market...
	2:17pm dave miss: @egould...My mom drove our Valiant up onto a stone wall as a kid.....too many demonberry cocktails
	2:17pm Juke Joint Jonny: All ackky-hall is an acquired taste, to be fair
	2:17pm dave miss: Hellmouth maybe why Flyface got his name
	2:18pm Handy Haversack: To be faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiyyyyuh!
	2:19pm PuraVida: Handy, I may have to pause my 'I really don't don't drink' status to try this cocktail of yours...
	2:19pm Creature Boy: Crashin' 👹🤡👾
	2:20pm Pax: hell mouth is what you get when you eat hot spicy food
	🌮 2:21pm Hubig Pie: I thot they wuz singin' Fried Egg Party
	2:22pm egould: @Pax eating spicy food is its own special “ring” of Hell.
	2:22pm dave miss: Don't twist during the Fais do do
	2:22pm PuraVida: I'm too stoned to picture all of the people he's describing right now...
	🌮 2:22pm Bruce S.: Don Rickles Doing the Twist
	2:22pm Juke Joint Jonny: ah to be faaaayyyyyyyuuhh

	2:27pm Pax: with all that reverb I barely understood two words.
	2:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: I must head out for a spell. Say hello to No Brow for me.
	2:29pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, egould! I'm having a Highbrow Lunkhead: a large vodka soda made today instead of left over from last night!
	2:30pm egould: @Handy Fresh made drink. Very classy move.
	2:31pm Juke Joint Jonny: Fucken A, Miss Briarcroft, crank it!

	2:36pm Eric R: Kitschy Mama sent me. She was right! Digging it
	2:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You just gotta make me turn on the amp & do a Berry riff with the caffeine kicking in ...a regular Pavlov you are...
	🌮 2:38pm Tony in Durham NC: I'm supposed to go outside and do some stuff. But geez, it's 94 and muggy as hayel...maybe I'll duck out when Todd-o-phonic "One Potato, Two Potato Man" Todd shows up...maybe.
	2:38pm Don F.: Had a large dry shot of well bourbon from a bottle. Firewater kiddush.

	1:58pm Juke Joint Jonny: Ooooooh, I get it now. It's Jap Curry Blazers as in "Jap" Curry's Blazers. Still, Mr. Curry has a rather unfortunate appellation.
	1:58pm egould: @Dave wuz here Salado, TX circa 1976. My brother ate a huge basket full of hush puppies, topped with a couple of banana fritters. On the drive home to Killeen, all those fried morsels came up in the back of the Plymouth Valiant. I remember being fascinated by the maraschino cherries from the fritters; they were still perfectly intact.

I have subbed in blueberries with peach garnish and even subbed gin and .5 oz. Campari for the boozegredients. Sounds explosive or botulistic, dave miss!
	2:11pm PuraVida: With Handy here, when life gives you too many berries, invent cocktails...
	2:12pm egould: Epilogue to my brother’s hush puppy incident; six years later my brother cartwheeled that same Plymouth Valiant into a frozen cornfield just outside of New Castle, IN. The Valiant was totaled. He walked away without a scratch.
	2:12pm Pax: When life gives you demon berries, you make demonade.

	2:12pm Juke Joint Jonny: Oh, Hell yes, Handy. That sounds terrific
	2:13pm dave miss: what exactly is a hellmouth?
	2:14pm egould: Berries freeze well. Freezing and thawing them makes for better pie filling or cocktail muddling, by the way.
	🌮 2:15pm Bruce S.: A Hellmouth is when you kiss your significant other at Sixo'clock in the morning
	2:15pm Handy Haversack: You know. Portal. Demon realms. Eldritch energies. Lots of berries. Some monsterism.
