	12:39pm Chuck: How'd Thailand get in there, Dave?
	12:40pm Meghan: hehehe..... yes! Throw stuff at Dave!
	12:40pm Julie B: who knew there were so many songs about Chinatown?
	12:41pm kath: AH!
	12:41pm Dave B: It was the closest Rush reference I could make to the morning crews Rush meme... > bows head in shame <
	12:42pm kath: Well, I thought it was darn funny!
	12:42pm Chuck: Thought you we trying to take over for Jeff P....
	12:43pm Meghan: the running part made me giggle...
	12:43pm Dan B.: I smell Thin Lizzy Approaching

	12:51pm annie: jack nicholson soundbytes??
	12:52pm Meghan: I was tempted Annie..... that movie is soooo good!
	12:52pm Dave B: @kath - try Tool's "Lateralus" - The number of syllables per line in the lyrics correspond to an arrangement of the fibonacci numbers. That'll keep her busy for a bit. As for the brussel sprouts, cook them in bacon, because bacon makes EVERYTHING more delicious!
	12:52pm kath: this one likes it all, even industrial.
	12:53pm kath: Although, I must confess, I have never made brussel sprouts!
	12:53pm Chuck: No argument from me, Dave!
	12:55pm kath: Not even sure what that means DB, but, she has that weird idactic type of ear. Recalls lyrics and notes instantly and seemingly forever!
	12:56pm PMD: Oh, thank you so much for playing Luka Bloom!! I need to get an album from him. ...
	1:00pm Dave B: @kath - the sequence of numbers behind the "golden spiral" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number
	1:02pm Dead Corporate Eyes: someone smelled right
	1:02pm Carmichael: Dan B, you called it!
	1:05pm dc pat: brussels sprouts: cut in half, fry in hot olive oil until browned on each side, add salt. My kids love them. They're like candy.
	1:06pm Meghan: No food talk..... my stomach is grumbling.... I'd even eat some brussel sprouts too!
	1:07pm Kaaren: Meghan - so weird to hear you mid-day! I"m actually fully awake and don't have a pot of coffee next to me:) But I have a meeting at 1:30. Maybe I can convince folks to leave the radio on? We'll see. Oh no way - The Band. Will you be playing the Dead as well? Pat requested it last night.
	1:07pm Detroit Mac: Chinatown Theme? How about The MOVE's Chinatown?
	1:08pm Meghan: I wouldn't even KNOW if there was a Dead song about Chinatown.... that is not allowed near me. You know that.
	1:10pm Kaaren: My actual response to him was - "NO - You leave Meghan alone. She's very busy and she's not going to search for a Dead tune. " But with Thin Lizzy, The Band, Doobie Bros. - he'll be very happy to listen to the archive when he gets home :)
	1:11pm Meghan: there you go! I did my job then.....
	1:12pm (mta) Tony: Chinatown My Chinatown by Louis Armstrong from his Pennies from Heaven album, or, his "Big Band Recordings, disc 2." It's one of his classics.
	1:12pm kath: I wondered about the Dead too, but I figured, nnaaahh!
	1:14pm Meghan: Tony... started the show off with that one! And I DO NOT DO THE DEAD....... I did it ONCE for my Stagger Lee theme, that is IT!
	1:15pm dc pat: mta: look up
	1:16pm (mta) Tony: Just woke up; please excuse me! Sorry I missed the beginning...
	1:19pm Parq: Hey Miss Meg. Joining your show 1:20 in, just like in the mornnings.
	1:23pm Meghan: Hey there Parq! I am glad you are keeping with your routine!
	1:24pm Dave B: Chaka Khan's "Chinatown" make the cut?
	1:24pm Kaaren: Hey. I just got a suggestion from Tommy. - The Devil Dogs - Chinatown. Don't know if that is within reach?
	1:24pm Ne-guh-tor: Parq, your head is a WFMU vacuum, sir! Don't you listen to anything else?
	1:26pm Chuck: Of course, Parq will never receive fruit cup with his routine... Hehe!
	1:31pm Ne-guh-tor: Meghan, I think you should play 'Goin down to Florida' by The Butthole SUrfers.
	1:32pm Siouxsie And The Banshees: Hong Kong Garden!
	1:33pm Chuck: If I hadn't just eaten Bratwurst I'd go and get some chop suey! Or some pork-fried duck...
	1:33pm Dave B: John Pinette - "Chinese Buffet" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2mTX09cTHg YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOURS!
	1:33pm Ne-guh-tor: "This is for my brother, George."
	1:33pm kath: I did get to see Liberace at Radio city in '84. He was a master.
	1:34pm PMD: I saw Liberace when I was a kid - 7 yo? I remember it very well. Wore my special money belt.
	1:35pm kath: Only half way done!!!??? CRAP! I have to go out soon... arg....
	1:35pm The Dickies: Stuck in a Pagoda with Tricia Toyota.
	1:37pm Dave B: one of my favorite Eno songs...
	1:37pm dc pat: ah, good one Dickies. Is that you Bad Ron?
	1:38pm Chuck: No portable radio, Kath? Or are you out of radio range like me?
	1:38pm Meghan: Ne-guh-tor, how does Goin down to Florida fit into a Chinatown theme? And Dave, i LOVE that John Pinette sketch
	1:38pm Bad Ronald: Guilty! John Cale - "Chinese Envoy"
	1:39pm Dave B: @kath & chuck - there's an app for that©
	1:40pm kath: Chuck, I am out of range, eastern Long Island
	1:41pm kath: I have to go to the elementry school and make 425 copies of a flyer.
	1:42pm Chuck: Apps only work if you've got an expensive cell phone. I don't...
	1:43pm kath: of course it IS lunch time and I can just stay here, eat...
	1:43pm Ne-guh-tor: So the Falcon has heard the Falconer! "Goin down to Florida. I'ma gonna have to potty train the Chairmen Mao!"
	1:43pm kath: I have the unadvertised bare bones phone plan.
	1:44pm Chuck: Know what you mean, Kath. I can't even get the supposed Mid-Hudson frequency for FMU out here in apple country...
	1:47pm dc pat: pay-as-you-go for me.
	1:48pm kath: So hpw did this Chinatown theme come about? I musta missed that.
	1:48pm Dave B: what a great album title."The World's Greatest Mediocrity" and Chuck/Kath - I'm on Manhattan's UWS and I can't pick up the radio waves either... Hopefully some of that Marathon money will help out a bit.
	1:48pm Meghan: I can't help it..... i got the crackphone.... err iPhone. I blame my dad for my addiction to gadgets...
	1:51pm Chuck: Meghan, you know what kind of stuff I've got my hands in on a daily basis. No can do fancy phone when you've got polysulfide dripping of you!
	1:52pm Meghan: just wait for it to cure! then you peel it off! Thought that catalyst is a bitch!
	1:52pm Ne-guh-tor: Ooooo! Yellow Magic Orchestra, Computer Game!
	1:53pm kath: my dad's idea of a gadget is a torque wrench!
	1:53pm Chuck: Nah, it'll still make the screen impossible to read...
	1:54pm kath: Dave, you don't have an iphone do ya??
	1:54pm Chuck: Basic telephonic communication is all I really need at this point...
	1:55pm Dave B: nope. Work provided Crackberry
	1:56pm Dave B: @chuck - Like this? http://www.maggiore.net/greenacres/images/e102.jpg
	1:58pm Chuck: If it works it works, SMART ASS!!!
	1:59pm kath: he heh...
	1:59pm Dave B: :-D (was only kidding...)
	2:01pm Chuck: Yes I know. Clearly you are one of Meghan's (one of the original smart asses) friends.... I'm snickering a bit myself!
	2:02pm Seattle: Good program today!
	2:03pm Chuck: Of course, I was on the planet before both of you, so I am the grandfather smart ass!
	2:04pm kath: Toshio Yamamoto's earliest memory of ramen goes back to when he was five years old. He was slurping down a bowl of instant noodles at home with his parents when he accidentally flipped it over and burnt himself. "I've been eating instant ramen ever since," he says.
	2:05pm Chuck: Gag! I spent the entire month of January 1984 eating nothing but ramen. Poor college student. Haven't touched them since!
	2:05pm Dave B: ;-) I had a big bowl of Udon for lunch.
	2:06pm Meghan: Thanks Seattle!
	2:07pm Meghan: oh I can do Udon..... that is different. It's the smell of instant Ramen that kills me
	2:07pm Chuck: Udon is definitely better. But, I like cold buckwheat noodles best!
	2:09pm Chuck: Soba noodles! I blanked on the name for a sec....
	2:09pm kath: I had ramen as a snack earlier today.
	2:10pm kath: it keeps me young.
	2:12pm Looms: Hey Meghan! Does Bosco have a liking for noodles too?
	2:13pm Chuck: Ramen noodles wouldn't even make it into my apartment...
	2:13pm Meghan: Bosco has a liking for ANYTHING! he's not picky! except for veggies that are raw....
	2:13pm Dave B: once summer time hits, try to find a real japanese joint that makes "Hiyashi Chuka" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiyashi_ch%C5%ABka
	2:14pm Meghan: Hungry Dave..... very hungry!
	2:15pm Dave B: Sorry Meghan.. :-( chaka khan? chaka khan? that answers my question from earlier.
	2:15pm Meghan: hehe.... yes it does....
	2:15pm Chuck: At least the picture looks like they are fresh ramen noodles, not the instant crap... I could give that a whirl!
	2:17pm Ne-guh-tor: Any version of 'Sukiyaki'!
	2:18pm trent: herro
	2:18pm Ne-guh-tor: Ultravox 'White China' and Bowie 'China Girl'
	2:19pm Parq: Is it just me, or have others noted a sharp increase in the amount of disco being heard on FMU these days? Not to be a crank or anything (well, okay, maybe a little), but I haven't changed my mind since 1979, when I started listeing to FMU to get away from that stuff.
	2:19pm kath: Yay on the Ultravox!
	2:19pm Ne-guh-tor: Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - "Chinese Rocks"
	2:20pm kath: lstening in 2010 would make it retro!
	2:20pm a from b: dieter bolan productions
	2:22pm Chuck: Yay again for Romeo Void!!!
	2:22pm Parq: Romeo Void - now we're talking. Gimmie that backbeat.
	2:24pm Ne-guh-tor: Come on, Parq, you didn't like 'Disco DUck'? Did you have a groove thang?
	2:24pm Dave B: when the obscure becomes the expected, one must dive deeper into the musical waters to find freshness.
	2:28pm kath: I have procrastinated enough. Off to the post and to make hundreds f copies!!!!See you guys in the wee hours. Get some food Meg!!!
	2:28pm Meghan: Will do! Thanks Kath see you tomorrow!
	2:29pm Chuck: Enjoy the rest of your day, Kath!
	2:30pm jeff p: you'd better play the Rush song....
	2:31pm Meghan: ha! There he is! NO RUSH!!!! EVER!!!!!
	2:31pm kath: who me Jeff? I will be happy to play some Rush when I am in my car today.
	2:32pm Dave B: wow! I didn't think you'd be able to find this Momus track... Jeff with Rush in the home stretch! - WIN!
	2:32pm Chuck: We were having so much fun without him too!
	2:32pm jeff p: I specifically went out in search of a Rush song that would fit the bill... and then got distracted by all this pesky "work" and almost forgot about the show.
	2:34pm Julie B: perfect timing just back from the gym and my song's playin :) yay meghan
	2:34pm Meghan: Meh, work..... it's a killer! That is what messed me up last night trying to prepare!
	2:34pm Dave B: @Jeff - I had your back up at around 12:38
	2:34pm Pearly Sweets: Meghan, if I bat my lashes super pretty like might there be some Adicts in our future? Chinese Takeaway = <3
	2:35pm Meghan: I am good like that Julie!
	2:35pm Chuck: There is only 1 Rush song appropriate for this theme. And I'm not telling you which...
	2:35pm still b/p: When Momus came on, I thought it was Donovan in an updated stir.
	2:36pm kath: So what did you find Jeff? Tai' Shan? Even Rush didn't like it!
	2:36pm Meghan: Score Kath!
	2:36pm jeff p: That's the one!
	2:38pm kath: Yes! and on that note, outta here...
	2:38pm Chuck: Of course that's the one! Not one of their best songs though...
	2:38pm Easy Jeesey: John Prine has a great song called Chinatown with a lyric: "Got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chicky, down in Chinatown" Maybe not his best moment, but good....
	2:41pm jeff p: btw, thanks for having my back, Dave B. Best chuckle I've had all day.
	2:42pm Chuck: Woo Hoo! From my second favorite Robyn Hitchcock album.
	2:43pm Chuck: You realize there is no fruit cup for you again, Jeff...
	2:44pm jeff p: It was worth it.
	2:45pm Julie B: ah...I don't know...going off Mainland China into Hong Kong might be cheating :D
	2:46pm Dave B: YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOUR!
	2:46pm Ne-guh-tor: High Anxiety! Racking my brains about that fruit cup thin....
	2:47pm jeff p: Meghan, do you have your normal show tomorrow morning, too?
	2:47pm Chuck: Glad somebody got it!!!
	2:48pm J-Mar: The lyrics to this song are so wrong, but you can't deny the music.
	2:48pm Julie B: Today: Mary, Meghan, Irwin then Bronwyn...okay which one of these is not like the other.?
	2:50pm Dave B: Anything from the Pathe 100 collections?
	2:51pm Parq: Way-boring work stuff demands my full attention. See everybody in 16 hours.
	2:52pm Listener Randy: Dave B.: Louie Anderson, right?
	2:53pm Dan B From Upstate: Great show today, Meghan!
	2:53pm Chuck: Check you then, Parq!
	2:54pm Dave B: @Randy - Nope. John Pinette! You so beeeeeg. You should eat broccori... See you in the AM Parq!
	2:57pm a from b: :(

	12:40pm Julie B: who knew there were so many songs about Chinatown?
	12:41pm kath: AH!
	12:41pm Dave B: It was the closest Rush reference I could make to the morning crews Rush meme... > bows head in shame <

	12:51pm annie: jack nicholson soundbytes??
	12:52pm Meghan: I was tempted Annie..... that movie is soooo good!
	12:52pm Dave B: @kath - try Tool's "Lateralus" - The number of syllables per line in the lyrics correspond to an arrangement of the fibonacci numbers. That'll keep her busy for a bit. As for the brussel sprouts, cook them in bacon, because bacon makes EVERYTHING more delicious!
	12:52pm kath: this one likes it all, even industrial.
	12:53pm kath: Although, I must confess, I have never made brussel sprouts!
	12:53pm Chuck: No argument from me, Dave!
	12:55pm kath: Not even sure what that means DB, but, she has that weird idactic type of ear. Recalls lyrics and notes instantly and seemingly forever!
	12:56pm PMD: Oh, thank you so much for playing Luka Bloom!! I need to get an album from him. ...
	1:00pm Dave B: @kath - the sequence of numbers behind the "golden spiral" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number

	1:02pm Carmichael: Dan B, you called it!
	1:05pm dc pat: brussels sprouts: cut in half, fry in hot olive oil until browned on each side, add salt. My kids love them. They're like candy.
	1:06pm Meghan: No food talk..... my stomach is grumbling.... I'd even eat some brussel sprouts too!
	1:07pm Kaaren: Meghan - so weird to hear you mid-day! I"m actually fully awake and don't have a pot of coffee next to me:) But I have a meeting at 1:30. Maybe I can convince folks to leave the radio on? We'll see. Oh no way - The Band. Will you be playing the Dead as well? Pat requested it last night.
	1:07pm Detroit Mac: Chinatown Theme? How about The MOVE's Chinatown?
	1:08pm Meghan: I wouldn't even KNOW if there was a Dead song about Chinatown.... that is not allowed near me. You know that.
	1:10pm Kaaren: My actual response to him was - "NO - You leave Meghan alone. She's very busy and she's not going to search for a Dead tune. " But with Thin Lizzy, The Band, Doobie Bros. - he'll be very happy to listen to the archive when he gets home :)
	1:11pm Meghan: there you go! I did my job then.....
	1:12pm (mta) Tony: Chinatown My Chinatown by Louis Armstrong from his Pennies from Heaven album, or, his "Big Band Recordings, disc 2." It's one of his classics.
	1:12pm kath: I wondered about the Dead too, but I figured, nnaaahh!
	1:14pm Meghan: Tony... started the show off with that one! And I DO NOT DO THE DEAD....... I did it ONCE for my Stagger Lee theme, that is IT!

	1:24pm Dave B: Chaka Khan's "Chinatown" make the cut?
	1:24pm Kaaren: Hey. I just got a suggestion from Tommy. - The Devil Dogs - Chinatown. Don't know if that is within reach?
	1:24pm Ne-guh-tor: Parq, your head is a WFMU vacuum, sir! Don't you listen to anything else?
	1:26pm Chuck: Of course, Parq will never receive fruit cup with his routine... Hehe!
	1:31pm Ne-guh-tor: Meghan, I think you should play 'Goin down to Florida' by The Butthole SUrfers.
	1:32pm Siouxsie And The Banshees: Hong Kong Garden!
	1:33pm Chuck: If I hadn't just eaten Bratwurst I'd go and get some chop suey! Or some pork-fried duck...

	1:38pm Chuck: No portable radio, Kath? Or are you out of radio range like me?
	1:38pm Meghan: Ne-guh-tor, how does Goin down to Florida fit into a Chinatown theme? And Dave, i LOVE that John Pinette sketch
	1:38pm Bad Ronald: Guilty! John Cale - "Chinese Envoy"
	1:39pm Dave B: @kath & chuck - there's an app for that©
	1:40pm kath: Chuck, I am out of range, eastern Long Island
	1:41pm kath: I have to go to the elementry school and make 425 copies of a flyer.
	1:42pm Chuck: Apps only work if you've got an expensive cell phone. I don't...
	1:43pm kath: of course it IS lunch time and I can just stay here, eat...
	1:43pm Ne-guh-tor: So the Falcon has heard the Falconer! "Goin down to Florida. I'ma gonna have to potty train the Chairmen Mao!"
	1:43pm kath: I have the unadvertised bare bones phone plan.
	1:44pm Chuck: Know what you mean, Kath. I can't even get the supposed Mid-Hudson frequency for FMU out here in apple country...
	1:47pm dc pat: pay-as-you-go for me.
	1:48pm kath: So hpw did this Chinatown theme come about? I musta missed that.
	1:48pm Dave B: what a great album title."The World's Greatest Mediocrity" and Chuck/Kath - I'm on Manhattan's UWS and I can't pick up the radio waves either... Hopefully some of that Marathon money will help out a bit.
	1:48pm Meghan: I can't help it..... i got the crackphone.... err iPhone. I blame my dad for my addiction to gadgets...
	1:51pm Chuck: Meghan, you know what kind of stuff I've got my hands in on a daily basis. No can do fancy phone when you've got polysulfide dripping of you!
	1:52pm Meghan: just wait for it to cure! then you peel it off! Thought that catalyst is a bitch!
	1:52pm Ne-guh-tor: Ooooo! Yellow Magic Orchestra, Computer Game!
	1:53pm kath: my dad's idea of a gadget is a torque wrench!
	1:53pm Chuck: Nah, it'll still make the screen impossible to read...
	1:54pm kath: Dave, you don't have an iphone do ya??
	1:54pm Chuck: Basic telephonic communication is all I really need at this point...
	1:55pm Dave B: nope. Work provided Crackberry
	1:56pm Dave B: @chuck - Like this? http://www.maggiore.net/greenacres/images/e102.jpg
	1:58pm Chuck: If it works it works, SMART ASS!!!
	1:59pm kath: he heh...
	1:59pm Dave B: :-D (was only kidding...)
	2:01pm Chuck: Yes I know. Clearly you are one of Meghan's (one of the original smart asses) friends.... I'm snickering a bit myself!
	2:02pm Seattle: Good program today!
	2:03pm Chuck: Of course, I was on the planet before both of you, so I am the grandfather smart ass!
	2:04pm kath: Toshio Yamamoto's earliest memory of ramen goes back to when he was five years old. He was slurping down a bowl of instant noodles at home with his parents when he accidentally flipped it over and burnt himself. "I've been eating instant ramen ever since," he says.
	2:05pm Chuck: Gag! I spent the entire month of January 1984 eating nothing but ramen. Poor college student. Haven't touched them since!
	2:05pm Dave B: ;-) I had a big bowl of Udon for lunch.
	2:06pm Meghan: Thanks Seattle!
	2:07pm Meghan: oh I can do Udon..... that is different. It's the smell of instant Ramen that kills me
	2:07pm Chuck: Udon is definitely better. But, I like cold buckwheat noodles best!
	2:09pm Chuck: Soba noodles! I blanked on the name for a sec....
	2:09pm kath: I had ramen as a snack earlier today.
	2:10pm kath: it keeps me young.
	2:12pm Looms: Hey Meghan! Does Bosco have a liking for noodles too?
	2:13pm Chuck: Ramen noodles wouldn't even make it into my apartment...
	2:13pm Meghan: Bosco has a liking for ANYTHING! he's not picky! except for veggies that are raw....
	2:13pm Dave B: once summer time hits, try to find a real japanese joint that makes "Hiyashi Chuka" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiyashi_ch%C5%ABka
	2:14pm Meghan: Hungry Dave..... very hungry!
	2:15pm Dave B: Sorry Meghan.. :-( chaka khan? chaka khan? that answers my question from earlier.
	2:15pm Meghan: hehe.... yes it does....
	2:15pm Chuck: At least the picture looks like they are fresh ramen noodles, not the instant crap... I could give that a whirl!
	2:17pm Ne-guh-tor: Any version of 'Sukiyaki'!
	2:18pm trent: herro
	2:18pm Ne-guh-tor: Ultravox 'White China' and Bowie 'China Girl'
	2:19pm Parq: Is it just me, or have others noted a sharp increase in the amount of disco being heard on FMU these days? Not to be a crank or anything (well, okay, maybe a little), but I haven't changed my mind since 1979, when I started listeing to FMU to get away from that stuff.
	2:19pm kath: Yay on the Ultravox!
	2:19pm Ne-guh-tor: Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - "Chinese Rocks"

	2:22pm Parq: Romeo Void - now we're talking. Gimmie that backbeat.
	2:24pm Ne-guh-tor: Come on, Parq, you didn't like 'Disco DUck'? Did you have a groove thang?
	2:24pm Dave B: when the obscure becomes the expected, one must dive deeper into the musical waters to find freshness.
	2:28pm kath: I have procrastinated enough. Off to the post and to make hundreds f copies!!!!See you guys in the wee hours. Get some food Meg!!!
	2:28pm Meghan: Will do! Thanks Kath see you tomorrow!
	2:29pm Chuck: Enjoy the rest of your day, Kath!
	2:30pm jeff p: you'd better play the Rush song....
	2:31pm Meghan: ha! There he is! NO RUSH!!!! EVER!!!!!
	2:31pm kath: who me Jeff? I will be happy to play some Rush when I am in my car today.
	2:32pm Dave B: wow! I didn't think you'd be able to find this Momus track... Jeff with Rush in the home stretch! - WIN!
	2:32pm Chuck: We were having so much fun without him too!
	2:32pm jeff p: I specifically went out in search of a Rush song that would fit the bill... and then got distracted by all this pesky "work" and almost forgot about the show.
	2:34pm Julie B: perfect timing just back from the gym and my song's playin :) yay meghan
	2:34pm Meghan: Meh, work..... it's a killer! That is what messed me up last night trying to prepare!

	2:34pm Pearly Sweets: Meghan, if I bat my lashes super pretty like might there be some Adicts in our future? Chinese Takeaway = <3
	2:35pm Meghan: I am good like that Julie!
	2:35pm Chuck: There is only 1 Rush song appropriate for this theme. And I'm not telling you which...
	2:35pm still b/p: When Momus came on, I thought it was Donovan in an updated stir.
	2:36pm kath: So what did you find Jeff? Tai' Shan? Even Rush didn't like it!
	2:36pm Meghan: Score Kath!
	2:36pm jeff p: That's the one!
	2:38pm kath: Yes! and on that note, outta here...
	2:38pm Chuck: Of course that's the one! Not one of their best songs though...
	2:38pm Easy Jeesey: John Prine has a great song called Chinatown with a lyric: "Got a sideways hickey from a slant-eyed chicky, down in Chinatown" Maybe not his best moment, but good....
	2:41pm jeff p: btw, thanks for having my back, Dave B. Best chuckle I've had all day.
	2:42pm Chuck: Woo Hoo! From my second favorite Robyn Hitchcock album.
	2:43pm Chuck: You realize there is no fruit cup for you again, Jeff...
	2:44pm jeff p: It was worth it.
	2:45pm Julie B: ah...I don't know...going off Mainland China into Hong Kong might be cheating :D
	2:46pm Dave B: YOU GO NOW! YOU HERE FOUR HOUR!
	2:46pm Ne-guh-tor: High Anxiety! Racking my brains about that fruit cup thin....
	2:47pm jeff p: Meghan, do you have your normal show tomorrow morning, too?
