	8:31am bobob fabtriplasticland: Acid Web music 🎶🎶
	8:34am Yetz: good morning. had to post this www.snopes.com...
	8:34am Yetz: the famous "spiders on different drugs" image
	8:34am dale: it's a little early for lsd but i dug that.
	8:35am Yetz: bugs do drugs
	8:36am Yetz: (oh, i know,spiders are not bugs. but can't resist a rhyme)
	8:36am dale: i was watching one of those history type channels called 'stories' and learned that german 'super soldiers' were just pumped full of meth amphetamines. never knew that.
	8:36am Strandlund: YAY!!
	8:36am P-90: “Spiders are more switched-on than you know, Jim the Poet” Quote of the Day. Nothing anyone says for the rest of the day will top that.
	8:37am Listener Robert: I think yu should credit "I Love Paris in the Morning" when it's that clear in the background.
	8:37am StringOFperils: Hi! Just in time for kitties!
	8:38am queems: what angels
	8:39am luka: ↳ Song: "Chia and Linnea" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O... look at the BABIES
	8:39am Jim the Poet: They do have a certain street cred
	8:39am StringOFperils: I thought Linnea froze her left ear last winter maybe. Never heard of 'ear tipping'.
	8:40am luka: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:39 pretty sure i bummed Linnea a cig outside of the roller dome
	8:40am dale: ha ha! the hoooo....
	8:40am queems: LOL
	8:41am Strandlund: Fantastic!!
	8:41am love2laf: The hooo???? Thank you for a morning laugh, this is brilliant! Good morning all.
	8:41am Colleen: This is the only way I'll ever like the Who
	8:41am StringOFperils: They smash up some mice at the end of their act.
	8:41am yippie: the giraffes are going to play at st Vitus tonite. live skull was supposed to play too but they COVID canceled.
	8:42am StringOFperils: Actually, Keith Moon would be a great owl name.
	8:44am Kathleen from JC: Eartipping is painless, BTW, and cats can still make ear body language signals to each other. And it saves cats the inconvenience of being trapped for TNR all over again.
	8:45am queems: my bad animal just showed up to hang out with her sad broken tail 😭
	8:45am Jim the Poet: aw
	8:46am Amanda: Get well soon, queems's animal!
	8:46am StringOFperils: I don't imagine having the top of your ear lobe snipped off with a pair of scissors is painless, but I get the rescue-organizational tracking necessity.
	8:47am queems: thank you amanda, she’s still causing trouble so she’s doing ok!
	8:47am Strandlund: This sounds like Bill Cosby...
	8:47am HyperDose: ↳ queems @8:45 We're all broken up about it over here 😭😭😭😭
	8:48am Strandlund: My kitties are sending Pixie your cat's way, Queems!!
	8:49am queems: thank you strandlund!! she is appreciative
	8:50am dale: i was singing this song last night!
	8:50am love2laf: ↳ queems @8:45 Oh that's tough, hope they heal up quickly, and little Erin sends pixie their way!
	8:50am Barbara in PA: This is my new favorite song.
	8:50am StringOFperils: Props to Norma T, and to Kitty Woman too!
	8:51am Colleen: Hey Queems!! Aaaww...sorry for your poor baby!!
	8:51am Listener Robert: Wha'd I miss this morning? I had a dream about Bob Johnson Plumbing Contractors.
	8:51am Colleen: Hey Strandlund!! Hey gang!!
	8:51am Yetz: ↳ StringOFperils @8:46 they do it under local anasthesia. it's fine.
	8:52am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ queems @8:45 I hope her tail heals up soon!! Pixie!!!
	8:52am Kathleen from JC: Don't worry, StringOFperils, the eartip is done surgically while the kitties are under anesthesia for the spay or neuter.
	8:52am Listener Robert: ↳ Yetz @8:51 You could reply that to every comment.
	8:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Kathleen from JC @8:52 Oh wow, I just remembered, I had a dream about Jeff Beck talking about why he took public transit, which woke me up. Thanks Kathleen; I was sure it was done ethically and kindly...I was just sayin'
	8:53am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Amanda, Jim, and Kathleen!!! Be well everyone!!!
	8:54am TDK60: Gracias, DJs.
	8:54am dale: our siamese stray had a broken tail at some point in her past. when one of our cats crawled under the covers i'd feel for the tail and i knew it was her if it had a right angle in it.
	8:54am dale: that anthony newley was gorgeous.
	8:54am Strandlund: ↳ Colleen @8:51 Hey Colleen!!
	8:54am queems: thanks colleen & will! and thank you jim & amanda!!
	8:55am love2laf: Thank you for a fab start to Saturday morning Jim & Amanda. Still chuckling over the Hoo.
	8:56am Strandlund: Thanks for another Fantastic Show, Jim & Amanda!! Have a great weekend all you animals, both good and bad!!
	8:57am ?: With all the "body modification" humans do these days, ear tipping a kitty is hardly a concern. My little Drella was tipped because I was worried he might escape the house when he first came here. Now, he knows he's got it great & has no urge to leave
	8:58am alan the painter: hEar HeAr on thee share impression... this is a funny delightful show, perddy smArtt...
	8:58am luka: have a nice weekend animals
	8:59am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:53 I wonder what will happen to Jeff Beck's car collection
	8:59am dale: had a batch of kittens once in the beginning of february. THEY had a batch at thanksgiving.
	8:59am StringOFperils: I just meant that I know it hurts, once the anaesthesia wears off. It's a no brainer. I know what my friends are feeling. The ear tipping is, no doubt, the least of several possible alternatives.
	8:59am WR: Jim the Poet, you don't realize how well you have been trained. Thank you, Bad Animals krewe!
	8:59am dale: was wild getting 7 cats to the vet to be fixed.
	8:59am G: ↳ @8:59 Maybe Jay Leno has his eye on it haha
	9:00am StringOFperils: Thanks Bad Animals!
	9:02am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:59 They did it all under single anesthesia when he was being "altered." Think about that for a minute.. I'd take the ear tipping :)He's never shown any signs of discomfort from either procedure.
	9:02am Listener Robert: You'll get electronic submissions for that "draw your own". Nothing goes w/o notice at wfmu.org
	10:07am StringOFperils: Ahhh jeez, sigh. Look, "?", I wish you had a profile so I could reply to you there, but I'm tacking it on here (post-broadcast). I understand all of this implicitly. I've had at least one cat in my life for over 60 years. My objection was to the patently false statement that the procedure does not hurt. Period. My objection is to false statements appearing in social media, however small their import may appear to be. It would be preferable to say it does hurt, and to explain why inflicting that pain, in that case, is the least of all evils available. The life of a cat is precarious, even the life of a big cat that lives on a veldt or in a jungle. A stray city cat has a very short life of great suffering, so losing a piece of ear, however painful that is, is preferable when it's part of a monitored management program that saves that cat a cruel and lonely fate, and that prevents it from reproducing that fate in a series of truly unfortunate descendants. Ear-tipping definitely hurts. Go get circumcised or something and then tell me there's no discomfort when the numbness goes away, and try to make me believe it. Please. Catch-neuter-release is unfortunately necessary, thanks to irresponsible human beings everywhere. Saying that minor surgery is completely painless is like saying cats are responsible for all the birds dying, when it's plainly human beings behind the death of pretty much everything. Those claims are not thought out, and when people say them it makes the statements seem suspect, because they are plainly not right, and that does not serve their cause, which in the case of ear-tipping is, obviously, a good cause. Telling me to 'think about it for a minute' is condescending, especially when I have taken very good care of many animals for many decades, and am knowledgeable in more ways than you can know, being that you are a complete stranger to me. You should create a friends of WFMU profile. It's fun.

	8:26am Amanda: Hi queems! Hello to all lovely animals and people checking in!
	8:27am queems: good morning amanda!!
	8:28am Kathleen from JC: Yes Amanda, Hamilton Park is a little milder than windswept Paulus Hook. And good thing, coz I plan to trap an injured cat for a friend today.
	8:31am bobob fabtriplasticland: Acid Web music 🎶🎶
	8:34am Yetz: good morning. had to post this www.snopes.com...
	8:34am Yetz: the famous "spiders on different drugs" image
	8:34am dale: it's a little early for lsd but i dug that.
	8:35am Yetz: bugs do drugs
	8:36am Yetz: (oh, i know,spiders are not bugs. but can't resist a rhyme)
	8:36am dale: i was watching one of those history type channels called 'stories' and learned that german 'super soldiers' were just pumped full of meth amphetamines. never knew that.
	8:36am Strandlund: YAY!!
	8:36am P-90: “Spiders are more switched-on than you know, Jim the Poet” Quote of the Day. Nothing anyone says for the rest of the day will top that.
	8:37am Listener Robert: I think yu should credit "I Love Paris in the Morning" when it's that clear in the background.
	8:37am StringOFperils: Hi! Just in time for kitties!
	8:38am queems: what angels
	8:39am luka: ↳ Song: "Chia and Linnea" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O... look at the BABIES
	8:39am Jim the Poet: They do have a certain street cred
	8:39am StringOFperils: I thought Linnea froze her left ear last winter maybe. Never heard of 'ear tipping'.
	8:40am luka: ↳ Jim the Poet @8:39 pretty sure i bummed Linnea a cig outside of the roller dome
	8:40am dale: ha ha! the hoooo....
	8:40am queems: LOL
	8:41am Strandlund: Fantastic!!
	8:41am love2laf: The hooo???? Thank you for a morning laugh, this is brilliant! Good morning all.
	8:41am Colleen: This is the only way I'll ever like the Who
	8:41am StringOFperils: They smash up some mice at the end of their act.
	8:41am yippie: the giraffes are going to play at st Vitus tonite. live skull was supposed to play too but they COVID canceled.
	8:42am StringOFperils: Actually, Keith Moon would be a great owl name.
	8:44am Kathleen from JC: Eartipping is painless, BTW, and cats can still make ear body language signals to each other. And it saves cats the inconvenience of being trapped for TNR all over again.
	8:45am queems: my bad animal just showed up to hang out with her sad broken tail 😭
	8:45am Jim the Poet: aw
	8:46am Amanda: Get well soon, queems's animal!
	8:46am StringOFperils: I don't imagine having the top of your ear lobe snipped off with a pair of scissors is painless, but I get the rescue-organizational tracking necessity.
	8:47am queems: thank you amanda, she’s still causing trouble so she’s doing ok!
	8:47am Strandlund: This sounds like Bill Cosby...
	8:47am HyperDose: ↳ queems @8:45 We're all broken up about it over here 😭😭😭😭
	8:48am Strandlund: My kitties are sending Pixie your cat's way, Queems!!
	8:49am queems: thank you strandlund!! she is appreciative
	8:50am dale: i was singing this song last night!
	8:50am love2laf: ↳ queems @8:45 Oh that's tough, hope they heal up quickly, and little Erin sends pixie their way!
	8:50am Barbara in PA: This is my new favorite song.
	8:50am StringOFperils: Props to Norma T, and to Kitty Woman too!
	8:51am Colleen: Hey Queems!! Aaaww...sorry for your poor baby!!
	8:51am Listener Robert: Wha'd I miss this morning? I had a dream about Bob Johnson Plumbing Contractors.
	8:51am Colleen: Hey Strandlund!! Hey gang!!
	8:51am Yetz: ↳ StringOFperils @8:46 they do it under local anasthesia. it's fine.
	8:52am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ queems @8:45 I hope her tail heals up soon!! Pixie!!!
	8:52am Kathleen from JC: Don't worry, StringOFperils, the eartip is done surgically while the kitties are under anesthesia for the spay or neuter.
	8:52am Listener Robert: ↳ Yetz @8:51 You could reply that to every comment.
	8:53am StringOFperils: ↳ Kathleen from JC @8:52 Oh wow, I just remembered, I had a dream about Jeff Beck talking about why he took public transit, which woke me up. Thanks Kathleen; I was sure it was done ethically and kindly...I was just sayin'
	8:53am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Amanda, Jim, and Kathleen!!! Be well everyone!!!
	8:54am TDK60: Gracias, DJs.
	8:54am dale: our siamese stray had a broken tail at some point in her past. when one of our cats crawled under the covers i'd feel for the tail and i knew it was her if it had a right angle in it.
	8:54am dale: that anthony newley was gorgeous.
	8:54am Strandlund: ↳ Colleen @8:51 Hey Colleen!!
	8:54am queems: thanks colleen & will! and thank you jim & amanda!!
	8:55am love2laf: Thank you for a fab start to Saturday morning Jim & Amanda. Still chuckling over the Hoo.
	8:56am Strandlund: Thanks for another Fantastic Show, Jim & Amanda!! Have a great weekend all you animals, both good and bad!!
	8:57am ?: With all the "body modification" humans do these days, ear tipping a kitty is hardly a concern. My little Drella was tipped because I was worried he might escape the house when he first came here. Now, he knows he's got it great & has no urge to leave
	8:58am alan the painter: hEar HeAr on thee share impression... this is a funny delightful show, perddy smArtt...
	8:58am luka: have a nice weekend animals
	8:59am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:53 I wonder what will happen to Jeff Beck's car collection
	8:59am dale: had a batch of kittens once in the beginning of february. THEY had a batch at thanksgiving.
	8:59am StringOFperils: I just meant that I know it hurts, once the anaesthesia wears off. It's a no brainer. I know what my friends are feeling. The ear tipping is, no doubt, the least of several possible alternatives.
	8:59am WR: Jim the Poet, you don't realize how well you have been trained. Thank you, Bad Animals krewe!
	8:59am dale: was wild getting 7 cats to the vet to be fixed.
	8:59am G: ↳ @8:59 Maybe Jay Leno has his eye on it haha
	9:00am StringOFperils: Thanks Bad Animals!
	9:02am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:59 They did it all under single anesthesia when he was being "altered." Think about that for a minute.. I'd take the ear tipping :)He's never shown any signs of discomfort from either procedure.
	9:02am Listener Robert: You'll get electronic submissions for that "draw your own". Nothing goes w/o notice at wfmu.org
	10:07am StringOFperils: Ahhh jeez, sigh. Look, "?", I wish you had a profile so I could reply to you there, but I'm tacking it on here (post-broadcast). I understand all of this implicitly. I've had at least one cat in my life for over 60 years. My objection was to the patently false statement that the procedure does not hurt. Period. My objection is to false statements appearing in social media, however small their import may appear to be. It would be preferable to say it does hurt, and to explain why inflicting that pain, in that case, is the least of all evils available. The life of a cat is precarious, even the life of a big cat that lives on a veldt or in a jungle. A stray city cat has a very short life of great suffering, so losing a piece of ear, however painful that is, is preferable when it's part of a monitored management program that saves that cat a cruel and lonely fate, and that prevents it from reproducing that fate in a series of truly unfortunate descendants. Ear-tipping definitely hurts. Go get circumcised or something and then tell me there's no discomfort when the numbness goes away, and try to make me believe it. Please. Catch-neuter-release is unfortunately necessary, thanks to irresponsible human beings everywhere. Saying that minor surgery is completely painless is like saying cats are responsible for all the birds dying, when it's plainly human beings behind the death of pretty much everything. Those claims are not thought out, and when people say them it makes the statements seem suspect, because they are plainly not right, and that does not serve their cause, which in the case of ear-tipping is, obviously, a good cause. Telling me to 'think about it for a minute' is condescending, especially when I have taken very good care of many animals for many decades, and am knowledgeable in more ways than you can know, being that you are a complete stranger to me. You should create a friends of WFMU profile. It's fun.
