	3:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ solo mon @3:36 I just spent a couple of minutes thinking about whether that's more like all hat and no cattle, or all cattle and no hat. The former I guess? Now I want to start randomly using "all cattle and no hat" as a compliment.

	4:05pm arb: hi jtothek
	♥ 4:06pm chresti: ↳ Kat in the chat @4:02 Type 1 diabetes?
	♥ 4:07pm JtotheK: ↳ Song: "In My Tenement" by "Jackie Shane" was lucky to find this Jackie Shane 45 in a 25 cent bin years ago. However, it had a hairline crack which subsequently expanded. but at least I was able to spin it out a few times. I recall the flip being pretty good, too.
	♥ 4:09pm JtotheK: ↳ JtotheK @4:07 clyde mcphatter also has a version "In My Tenament" for ... far less than the Jackie Shane version.

	♥ 4:15pm JtotheK: regarding arb book club: currently just started 'Devil in the Stack: A Code Odyssey' by Andrew Smith; as featured on Mark Hurst programme.
	4:17pm wimpy: Is there an arb book club? I just recently started reading don quixote and while I knew it’d be funny I didn’t think I’d be actually laughing out loud at the book. Crazy it’s still this funny 400+ years later
	♥ 4:19pm JtotheK: ↳ wimpy @4:17 hmmm. say arb, do you remember how this started? was it antkind? I just got into the habit of posting whatever book I'm currently reading to arb's chat, with the preface "arb book club."
	🙇🏻 ♥ 4:20pm Crafty: ↳ wimpy @4:17 I read Candide by Voltaire a few months ago and had similar results
	♥ 4:20pm StringOFperils: I think the funniest book I ever read was Jaroslav Hasek's 'The Good Soldier Svejk'
	4:22pm arb: I can't remember if it all started with antkind but very possible, that's the book thats made me laugh out loud the most.
	4:23pm still b/p: With all the cutting, hacking, forbidding and upending that's underway, I won't be surprised if book bans enter the picture, encouraged and at least attempted to be ordered.
	4:25pm wimpy: Hey I also just read candide! Still kind of relevant what with people saying our current government is the best possible system out of everything. I also loved how it ended with candide telling the philosopher “that’s all well and good, but let us focus on our garden”
	4:25pm djnogoodnick: Hello Arb and Arbitrarians! Loving the trad vibes!!
	4:26pm arb: hey nick, looking forward to your fill in next :)
	♥ 4:28pm StringOFperils: ↳ still b/p @4:23 I'm (honestly) concerned about the welfare of WFMU as things devolve. Bitter trolls watch this. I'm sure it's in somebody's cross-hairs.

	4:38pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "Chug Chug, Toot Toot" by "The Cheers" We sang the, "Hey, ho, nobody's home.." to this tune in grammar school.
	4:39pm arb: before I bared my degenerate side
	4:41pm arb: is this set zany?
	♥ 4:42pm StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "The Dickie-Doo" by "Mike Pedicin" Imagine producing this. In a studio. WTF
	4:42pm still b/p: It's hitting the beneficially zany button....the benny button.
	4:42pm arb: ↳ StringOFperils @4:42 oh haha thats good visuals

	3:44pm Jeff Moore: ↳ solo mon @3:36 I just spent a couple of minutes thinking about whether that's more like all hat and no cattle, or all cattle and no hat. The former I guess? Now I want to start randomly using "all cattle and no hat" as a compliment.
	3:44pm arb: manifesting a tv show set in 1959 hires me to music supervise

	4:17pm wimpy: Is there an arb book club? I just recently started reading don quixote and while I knew it’d be funny I didn’t think I’d be actually laughing out loud at the book. Crazy it’s still this funny 400+ years later
	♥ 4:19pm JtotheK: ↳ wimpy @4:17 hmmm. say arb, do you remember how this started? was it antkind? I just got into the habit of posting whatever book I'm currently reading to arb's chat, with the preface "arb book club."
	🙇🏻 ♥ 4:20pm Crafty: ↳ wimpy @4:17 I read Candide by Voltaire a few months ago and had similar results
	♥ 4:20pm StringOFperils: I think the funniest book I ever read was Jaroslav Hasek's 'The Good Soldier Svejk'
	4:22pm arb: I can't remember if it all started with antkind but very possible, that's the book thats made me laugh out loud the most.
	4:23pm still b/p: With all the cutting, hacking, forbidding and upending that's underway, I won't be surprised if book bans enter the picture, encouraged and at least attempted to be ordered.
	4:25pm wimpy: Hey I also just read candide! Still kind of relevant what with people saying our current government is the best possible system out of everything. I also loved how it ended with candide telling the philosopher “that’s all well and good, but let us focus on our garden”
	4:25pm djnogoodnick: Hello Arb and Arbitrarians! Loving the trad vibes!!
