	10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: you...woo,woo,woo...
	10:23pm still b/p: A multi-panel cartoon from back in the day -- either the late 60s day or perhaps a later sub-.500 period -- that stuck in my mind's eye permanently for some reason, to still get re-cued regularly by Mets references: a guy in a generic locker room tries to swat a fly with a swatter. Misses, misses again, maybe misses in frustration one more time -- fly survives. Then the guys puts his jersey on, which sssssays...Mets. Back in the day when comedians also would find ways to use Mets commonly as mock targets, whipping boys and metaphor.
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Charlie! It's already been a long day today, I was busy doing something, it will be a longer day tomorrow!
	10:26pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @10:23 well, that couldn't last forever!

	10:43pm still b/p: ↳ chresti @10:41 I'd like to tour the country for several months in a Van de Camper.
	10:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ still b/p @10:42 farts are probably a selling point, that have never been exploited for beans
	10:45pm Charlie: ↳ still b/p @10:43 I'd like to tour in the Oscar Meyer weinermobile
	10:45pm still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:45 Blazing Saddles challenge on TikTok.

	10:47pm Chris S.: This whole time zone thing has me all messed up.
	10:48pm Charlie: ↳ Chris S. @10:47 Hi Chris. Recently at my job we started opening one hour earlier two days a week. I can't get used to that!
	10:50pm Chris S.: Looks like a swell show so far!
	10:51pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:45 - not much farting happens if they're cooked long enough
	10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @10:51 i sort of knew that...:)
	10:53pm Charlie: ↳ chresti @10:51 Soaking is important
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Kingdom Come" by "Cindy Lee" such a great album
	10:54pm Chris S.: Castaways!!
	10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @10:51 by and large, do you know if canned beans are properly cooked?
	10:55pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Liar Liar" by "The Castaways" ah I love this song
	10:56pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 I imagine so
	10:56pm Charlie: ↳ Julie @10:55 Julie!
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ chresti @10:51 also to avoid the terrible food combination of sugar and beans. ...but most, or all canned "baked beans" have sugar of some kind.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Liar Liar" by "The Castaways" ...I've probly loved this track for ...56 years ? & ...I don't even know the B-Side much less anything else they might've done.
	10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @10:56 so fartless, would be the selling point in a commercial
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Charlie!
	10:58pm schmutz: here for the bean talk (also: charlie!)
	10:59pm Ignore Function: Great show, Charlie. Also, I used that same picture as my avatar for a long time
	11:00pm Julie: Hi Charlie!
	11:00pm Julie: human beans
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...given the Industrial Crapitalist food system ...I guess we'll evolve into some kinda hummingbird sea creature living off only sugar & salt. It would be simpler I suppose...
	11:01pm Julie: you are echo-y tonight
	11:01pm Chris S.: DJ Charlie Reverb
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 not counting baked beans, which are cooked long enough but will create digestive issues for another reason - some brands are, some are not. goya's possibly the worst - lowest quality and not cooked long enough. organic brand westbrae not cooked long enough. rienzi brand is properly cooked, as are shoprite's own brand (organic or non-organic) i've tried others but i don't remember
	11:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Liar Liar" by "The Castaways" SOMA - I have the 45.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:00 bagles

	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Coel!
	11:06pm Roberto: OH SHIT CHARLIE
	11:06pm Charlie: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:04 Thanks Franco!
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: hola Franco!
	11:07pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Charlie @11:06 Yer welcome!
	11:07pm Charlie: belated HI to schmutz and Ignore Function!
	11:08pm Webhamster Henry: It’s Bronwyn’s birthday (and Irene’s)
	11:09pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 The texture tells you this when the can is opened, or your body tells you this later? Real question.
	11:09pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 ha!
	11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: dj schmatta would be a good name..
	11:09pm Charlie: oh hey Roberto:)
	11:09pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 haha!
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:06 i eat a lot of chick peas and lentils...the least beany of the beans! i like black beans a lot but that's a meal to prepare, when you can just throw some chick peas into your rice, soup or salad and eat it.
	11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:10 sounds good, i'd like to start habit...
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i ate a macrobiotic diet, mostly, for several years and ate a lot of adzuki beans then. i've never seen them in a can. right now i don't have the means to prepare dried beans.
	11:11pm chresti: the only time I've used canned beans was when making chili
	11:12pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 Goya's beans are lousy and incredibly high in sodium! I usually buy organic no salt added canned beans, and add what salt I want
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @11:09 if they're "mealy" they're not cooked enough.
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 Shmatta Von Ruffle was a designer of haute couture during the Nixon administration.
	11:12pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:11 You can get cannned adzuki beans in some health food stores
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charlie @11:09 there was a kid in my neighborhood named tommy smotta, my mother would refer to him as tommy schmatta and laugh....she grew up on LES
	11:14pm chresti: ↳ chresti @11:11 loosely the way my dad would make it
	11:14pm Charlie: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:12 Hollywood squares question: Why do Hell's Angels wear Leather? Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily!
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:12 was not aware of that...
	11:15pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:13 my dad would've said snotta
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have only a few times bought dry beans - & done the whole thing of soaking overnight - rinsing a few times...
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:12 i'm a bit of a salt hound so that's not an issue! but yeah it's shocking how the most expensive canned beans are the worst! and they supposedly specialize in beans
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Charlie @11:14 I can see Paul Lynde wagging his snarky head...
	11:15pm still b/p: I like canned baked beans once in a while, but whatever else they put in for custom recipes, they always gotta be pounding in the freakin' SUGAR!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:12 really! i have to look again, haven't looked in a while
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @11:15 for scmatta?
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 That's because I just made it up.
	11:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course Goya as a Corporation was on the wrong side of Politics in recent times...
	11:17pm chresti: some beans (pinquitos?) don't need soaking
	11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:16 ha ha! should have known, it's more of a 90's name
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:14 hahaha! ...Jeff Lynde, i used to Love him
	11:18pm coelacanth∅: ...der, i mean PAUL LYNDE!
	11:18pm Roberto: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:16 Si, el presidente de la compañia es muy cabrón.
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @11:15 "would've"...sorry i misread
	11:18pm Charlie: schmatta is such a great word
	11:19pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Losing My Religion" by "Swandive" Not to be confused with Swan Dive, apparently.
	11:19pm schmutz: ↳ Song: "Losing My Religion" by "Swandive" My dentist sang this as she worked on my teeth yesterday. I was oddly very calming?
	11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ schmutz @11:19 the singing dentist...?
	11:20pm Roberto: ↳ schmutz @11:19 My dentist's meshuggeneh assistant sings along with the goddam radio during my appointments.
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ schmutz @11:19 now count back from 10, as i softly sing this song. . . . . .
	11:21pm chresti: ↳ chresti @11:17 or mayocoba beans
	11:21pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:20 It's goddam annoying AF.
	11:21pm still b/p: Variable recipe for preparing canned beans at home: two types, pinto and kidney, Soyaki sauce, chopped onion and garlic, little tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce if it's on hand, maybe a whisper of maple syrup, dash of curry powder.
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:18 Paul Lynde was great as a snooty salesman in an upper-crust department store....or did I make that up too?
	11:22pm Charlie: ↳ schmutz @11:19 Does she take requests?
	11:22pm Charlie: Like some dentist offices let you choose what music to have on
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 i think that was a jack benny actor, franklin pangborn
	11:24pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:22 and laughing gas
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: i would very much like a dentist that sings (songs like that) - as long as she doesn't drop the glue down my throat, without knowing it...
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 'seems legit!
	11:25pm Charlie: My dental hygienist cooks beans while cleaning my teeth
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:25 haha! - as a distraction from the pain?!
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Do you get your teeth cleaned in her kitchen?
	11:26pm Charlie: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:26 lol
	11:26pm tom tom the pipers son: i was given a shot of demerol in my butt by a nurse singing a chinese lullaby..a very pleasant experience
	11:27pm coelacanth∅: mine bakes cupcakes with thick vanilla frosting while working on people
	11:28pm coelacanth∅: (and singing "we're in the money")
	11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: charlie, your show slips by so quickly...
	11:29pm Roberto: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:28 Especially when you don't tune in until more than an hour late.
	11:29pm still b/p: Have the beans stopped screaming, Clarice? i.pinimg.com...
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:27 I get my teeth cleaned by a guy with a pressure washer, when he's not getting grease spots off parking lots.
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 ...if Drumpf is into being spanked with a Forbes by a woman reminds him of his daughter ...then what's so wrong about this...
	11:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Roberto @11:29 oh, i was "tuned'... i think people would pay big bucks for the experience
	11:31pm Ike: Greetings, humans!
	11:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:30 yes did not have any of those associations.... any luck w/ instagram...?
	11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Drifting Heart" by "Chuck Berry" very nice... though you were going to play "havana...."
	11:36pm still b/p: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:23 Saw moment of Franklin Pangborn the other night in uncharacteristically un-priggish-snooty role as one of the cranky suit guys in the studio team pissed off at Joel McCrea in early part of Sullivan's Travels.
	11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 havana moon
	11:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:33 Oh I haven't tried to make Insta work again yet...

	11:37pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 and together we'll always be (hybrid)

	11:42pm Roberto: Beanie weenies www.tiktok.com...
	11:42pm still b/p: ↳ Charlie @11:38 There's always good moments in his films. But sometimes parts -- like Eddie Bracken character in Miracle of Morgan's Creek -- are hard to take. There's some gold in Palm Beach Story and Lady Eve.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:39 i don't think i'd ever heard it before either...was across the room and Chuck's voice is immediately recognisable; but i was trying to figure out what song it derived from, and when i saw your post i realised we're both correct!
	11:43pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:40 Real deal - early 50s.
	11:45pm Charlie: Here's that docu on the Mamas and the Papas: www.youtube.com...

	11:48pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:46 Keep eating! x.com...
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael @11:40 ha! faq.... Channeling Franklin Pangborn in the Twilight Zone NitrateVille.com nitrateville.com › ... › Talking About Talkies Mar 15, 2011 — ... Franklin Pangborn played the prissy department store manager. ... Franklin Pangborn played the ... You mean Frank Nelson, from Jack Benny's show?

	10:06pm Charlie: ↳ Michael @10:04 I don't know who to root for! My allegiance is torn! Naw, always Mets:)
	10:08pm Michael: I would expect nothing less.
	10:09pm Charlie: I was at the last game of the playoffs in '69, the year they won the pennant for the first time.

	10:23pm tom tom the pipers son: you...woo,woo,woo...
	10:23pm still b/p: A multi-panel cartoon from back in the day -- either the late 60s day or perhaps a later sub-.500 period -- that stuck in my mind's eye permanently for some reason, to still get re-cued regularly by Mets references: a guy in a generic locker room tries to swat a fly with a swatter. Misses, misses again, maybe misses in frustration one more time -- fly survives. Then the guys puts his jersey on, which sssssays...Mets. Back in the day when comedians also would find ways to use Mets commonly as mock targets, whipping boys and metaphor.
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Charlie! It's already been a long day today, I was busy doing something, it will be a longer day tomorrow!

	10:50pm Chris S.: Looks like a swell show so far!

	11:00pm Julie: human beans
	11:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...given the Industrial Crapitalist food system ...I guess we'll evolve into some kinda hummingbird sea creature living off only sugar & salt. It would be simpler I suppose...
	11:01pm Julie: you are echo-y tonight
	11:01pm Chris S.: DJ Charlie Reverb
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 not counting baked beans, which are cooked long enough but will create digestive issues for another reason - some brands are, some are not. goya's possibly the worst - lowest quality and not cooked long enough. organic brand westbrae not cooked long enough. rienzi brand is properly cooked, as are shoprite's own brand (organic or non-organic) i've tried others but i don't remember

	11:09pm Charlie: oh hey Roberto:)
	11:09pm Charlie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 haha!
	11:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:06 i eat a lot of chick peas and lentils...the least beany of the beans! i like black beans a lot but that's a meal to prepare, when you can just throw some chick peas into your rice, soup or salad and eat it.
	11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:10 sounds good, i'd like to start habit...
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: i ate a macrobiotic diet, mostly, for several years and ate a lot of adzuki beans then. i've never seen them in a can. right now i don't have the means to prepare dried beans.
	11:11pm chresti: the only time I've used canned beans was when making chili
	11:12pm Charlie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:03 Goya's beans are lousy and incredibly high in sodium! I usually buy organic no salt added canned beans, and add what salt I want

	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 Shmatta Von Ruffle was a designer of haute couture during the Nixon administration.

	11:15pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:13 my dad would've said snotta
	11:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have only a few times bought dry beans - & done the whole thing of soaking overnight - rinsing a few times...
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:12 i'm a bit of a salt hound so that's not an issue! but yeah it's shocking how the most expensive canned beans are the worst! and they supposedly specialize in beans
	11:15pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Charlie @11:14 I can see Paul Lynde wagging his snarky head...
	11:15pm still b/p: I like canned baked beans once in a while, but whatever else they put in for custom recipes, they always gotta be pounding in the freakin' SUGAR!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Charlie @11:12 really! i have to look again, haven't looked in a while
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @11:15 for scmatta?
	11:16pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 That's because I just made it up.

	11:17pm chresti: some beans (pinquitos?) don't need soaking

	11:18pm Charlie: schmatta is such a great word
	11:19pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Losing My Religion" by "Swandive" Not to be confused with Swan Dive, apparently.
	11:19pm schmutz: ↳ Song: "Losing My Religion" by "Swandive" My dentist sang this as she worked on my teeth yesterday. I was oddly very calming?

	11:21pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:20 It's goddam annoying AF.
	11:21pm still b/p: Variable recipe for preparing canned beans at home: two types, pinto and kidney, Soyaki sauce, chopped onion and garlic, little tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce if it's on hand, maybe a whisper of maple syrup, dash of curry powder.
	11:22pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:18 Paul Lynde was great as a snooty salesman in an upper-crust department store....or did I make that up too?
	11:22pm Charlie: ↳ schmutz @11:19 Does she take requests?
	11:22pm Charlie: Like some dentist offices let you choose what music to have on
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 i think that was a jack benny actor, franklin pangborn
	11:24pm chresti: ↳ Charlie @11:22 and laughing gas
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: i would very much like a dentist that sings (songs like that) - as long as she doesn't drop the glue down my throat, without knowing it...
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:22 'seems legit!
	11:25pm Charlie: My dental hygienist cooks beans while cleaning my teeth

	11:29pm still b/p: Have the beans stopped screaming, Clarice? i.pinimg.com...
	11:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:27 I get my teeth cleaned by a guy with a pressure washer, when he's not getting grease spots off parking lots.
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:26 ...if Drumpf is into being spanked with a Forbes by a woman reminds him of his daughter ...then what's so wrong about this...
