	8:39pm Listener Bop Monroe: he's thurl-ly delightful!
	♥ 8:39pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:36 I stopped there once with an apprentice and he declined a free fresh doughnut. I ceased to trust him after that. That sucks that they closed though.

	♥ 8:44pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dolly Parton's 79th birthday was Sunday. 🎂
	♥ 8:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:41 Same with all my fave NYC diners. And Manhattan diners have had this insane price jump over the past few years. I'm a jaded New Yorker, and even I'm shocked!
	♥ 8:45pm DanFA: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:44 What a week! David Lynch's birthday was Monday, John Carpenter was last Thursday.

	🎸 ♥ 8:54pm ultradamno: I didn't watch the whole show, but I did see clips on there of Sherman as Maddow and Max Schreck that were pretty good (even though they kept saying 'original nosferatu' instead of Count Orlok, which is disrespectful)
	♥ 8:54pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Kevlicki @8:50 The former deli in Gardiner that keeps getting more and more upscale, is it any good? I like the name but the signage has put me off as "likely too expensive"

	♥ 8:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. See you down that yellow brick road!
	8:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: and if they don't sell Nutty Buddys they're yes, too upscale. this was a fun hour and great music. last line in Doc Savage movie: 'You're a brick!'

	8:25pm Becky: ↳ Wilson in SO @8:24 A guy I work with from Westchester says he grew up saying "dumb brick." I forgot about brick-ass
	8:25pm kevlicki: I’m from the Hudson valley and we’ve used the term occasionally

	8:26pm David Shortell: ↳ ultradamno @8:21 I remember a glowing backdrop of that Charles Burns picture was used for his show at Rutgers' College Avenue Gymnasium.
	♥ 8:26pm Handy Haversack: Also a fucked-up basketball shot, right?
	8:26pm traven: Another term for extremely cold weather: "The hawk is out" (and it's sure been spreading its wings lately).
	8:26pm Listener Bop Monroe: that's the one that flies around going 'ki-ki-ki-rist it's cold!'
	♥ 8:27pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ traven @8:26 Who says that? Harry the Hipster Gibson?

	🎸 ♥ 8:29pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:28 "That fat bastard has pissed them off once too often, they’re going to brick him." Well. That poor fat bastard, I guess.

	8:30pm Jeff_from_Harrison: this one goes hard
	♥ 8:30pm PigeonsAndRust: While we've been talking about brick I just singed one of my socks trying to heat it up on the coal stove to combat my Raynaud's 😆
	8:31pm Listener Bop Monroe: great 1st half hour DJB!
	8:32pm traven: ↳ ultradamno @8:29 FYI: "fat bastard" is British slang for red wine.
	8:32pm Becky: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:31 Thx Bop!
	♥ 8:32pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:31 How cold was it in Tannersville this morning? I know some of the higher elevations were -20. Hell it was -10 here in Wallkill, the building was cracking and popping in the middle of the night
	8:32pm Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	🎸 ♥ 8:32pm ultradamno: ↳ traven @8:32 That pisses people off to the point of bricking? No.

	8:34pm Becky: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:33 Oh! Yes. Thanks for the reminder - I am probably going to do a fill-in soon that will be a more appropriate venue. :)
	8:35pm Listener Bop Monroe: cold enuf to forgo my trip Selina's Diner. stayed in with the Pidge so it was all good. may your bricks be stable.
	🎸 ♥ 8:36pm ultradamno: Is following a yellow brick road a reference to goldbricking? I mean she was actually just laying around the whole time when post-tornado cleanup was to be done.
	♥ 8:36pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:35 Does that place still exist that sold handmade doughnuts for a buck? It had a name like Twin Peaks coffeehouse and had a pool table. It was on the right heading west

	8:39pm Listener Bop Monroe: he's thurl-ly delightful!
	♥ 8:39pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:36 I stopped there once with an apprentice and he declined a free fresh doughnut. I ceased to trust him after that. That sucks that they closed though.

	♥ 8:40pm DanFA: ↳ Listener Bop Monroe @8:38 Donuts? Did someone say donuts? You have my attention.

	♥ 8:44pm Handy Haversack: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:41 Same with all my fave NYC diners. And Manhattan diners have had this insane price jump over the past few years. I'm a jaded New Yorker, and even I'm shocked!

	🎸 ♥ 8:54pm ultradamno: I didn't watch the whole show, but I did see clips on there of Sherman as Maddow and Max Schreck that were pretty good (even though they kept saying 'original nosferatu' instead of Count Orlok, which is disrespectful)
	♥ 8:54pm PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Kevlicki @8:50 The former deli in Gardiner that keeps getting more and more upscale, is it any good? I like the name but the signage has put me off as "likely too expensive"
	♥ 8:55pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Becky! Another great hour gone too soon!
	8:56pm neuropsychology: Thank you and have a good evening!
	8:56pm Kat in the chat: Thank you Becky!
	8:57pm Kevlicki: ↳ PigeonsAndRust @8:54 that deli, the disgruntled chef does a great job on their sandwiches! Pretty standard for todays prices, small menu and strange hours
	♥ 8:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Becky. See you down that yellow brick road!
	8:57pm Listener Bop Monroe: and if they don't sell Nutty Buddys they're yes, too upscale. this was a fun hour and great music. last line in Doc Savage movie: 'You're a brick!'
