	9:07pm SteveL: Its the funkiest!!
	9:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: This show is going to the dogs tonight.
	9:10pm G: Has it been awhile, Sybil? Or am I having the very early onset Alzheimers over here?
	9:11pm Sybil: The dogs are going to the show.
	9:11pm Atomic Dog: Bow wow wow, etc...
	9:11pm G: Pitchers and catchers, less than a week. I can almost smell the flowers blooming already... Today is the first day of the last half of February...
	9:13pm G: Ceausescu (spelt like that), the romanian dictator who was killed around 1990?
	9:13pm SteveL: efd: You going to post the shot of you and dusty watching the dogs or should I?
	9:13pm Sybil: Ney, G, it's been awhile. I've had weird schedule, but now, weird or not, I'm such an Evan fan... I'm, here!
	9:15pm G: Here's where I flunk the Alzheimers test -- You're a math teacher or math grad student or something along those lines??? If so, the comment authentication is not as challenging for you as for some of us.
	9:16pm Sybil: But dang efd... ceauseseau??? Beyond expectactions!
	9:16pm G: Fatima Mansions is a somewhat infamous Dublin housing project, by the way. (I've published about Irish stuff, and spent time in Dublin.)
	9:17pm EL: My wife is going to flip out over this dog-themed set when she gets home.
	9:18pm Sybil: Hey G... You're the best! Yeah all that! Wow! Mathetatician me!
	9:19pm Sybil: P.S. the alleged "math" is the pits for me. I can't add.
	9:20pm Barkevious Shabazz: Song/Picture request Any Instrumental/Basenji
	9:20pm Ike: I haven't heard "Blues for Ceauşescu" or "This is How It Feels" in eons! Awesome.
	9:20pm G: That math is too simple, eh? :-P
	9:22pm efd: Hi everyone! Special hi to Sybil! Going a little crazy with the dog-wrangling just now, but thanks all for listening!
	9:22pm Sybil: Evan, I'm planning to do an early pledge to tie down my naming. Sorry about that. But I promise to bug people here!
	9:22pm dog pound dogs: We demand equal time!
	9:22pm efd: Brownie points for anyone who makes the connection between Inspiral Carpets and the pictured dog.
	9:23pm Sybil: No, G, I can't add! :)
	9:23pm G: Whose dog pics? They're good...
	9:24pm john: Hey Evan, and all! I know, but I sort of cheated. And I loved Inspiral Carpets 20 years ago.
	9:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Mini-Pinscher peed on the inspiral carpet?
	9:25pm Sybil: john o john! You're john I hope! Hey you!
	9:26pm john: Sybil! My gosh, I mean, criminy!
	9:27pm 12539: EFD - I think I know the connection too, but I sort of cheated, probably the same way as John.
	9:28pm Sybil: criminy indeed! Hey sweetie!
	9:28pm efd: google reverse image search?
	9:29pm 12539: Image name.
	9:29pm efd: oh, duh! of course.
	9:30pm john: Reverse image search--you're twisting my melon, man. Nothing too technological. Just a little memory-jogging re breed varieties.
	9:31pm EL: Whither Nazario?
	9:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bull Terriers kickin ass.
	9:33pm EL: Whippet good!
	9:33pm Kat in Chicago: "whippet"? groans
	9:33pm john: After which, I remembered I could have just grabbed the pic and got the name. But why do something the easy way when there's a difficult one? And Sybil, you've been missed!
	9:33pm Joe D.: that whippit pun. God. Dammit.
	9:34pm PB: Anyone remember the Toronto punk band Nazi Dog & The Viletones. I don't even remember if they were any good, just remember the name.
	9:34pm Sybil: OK y'al... I am the owner of a certain part of the WFMU infrastructure... and I plan on owning it this time around! I'm making my pledge before the deadline so that I can have my stuff named after me again. But you all? I dare you to match me! And efd.... you played "whip it"? I so love you!
	9:34pm Joe D.: sorry, whippet. Not whippit. Heh.
	9:34pm 12539: The kids listening to the airwaves alone don't get the awful puns.
	9:34pm john: Gets you every year, eh?
	9:35pm G: Here's a modest-sized bit of dog art: Jeff Koons, "Puppy", at Rock Center NYC in 2000: http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/saltz/saltz6-21-1.asp
	9:35pm Sybil: whippet good!
	9:36pm 12539: Maybe I spoke too soon.
	9:37pm john: Time to start the Evan "Funk" Davies For Westminster Kennel Club Announcer Facebook group.
	9:37pm Sybil: One cannot speak too soon.
	9:38pm G: I was wondering what "announcer audition" meant. No more.
	9:39pm EL: John O'Hurley better watch his back.
	9:39pm SteveL: If you didn't see it on his Twitter feed, here's a shot of efd watching the show with Dusty, a noted dog expert. http://lockerz.com/s/183906272
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I was wondering if EFD was gonna backannounce all night like that...
	9:40pm john: We live in hope.
	9:41pm Sybil: This is possibly the best efd show of the year, every year. And I say that as a RSfan. How brilliant is this?!
	9:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: Even Joe Garagiola eventually released his deathgrip on the Westminster mic. There's hope yet.
	9:45pm Sybil: Joltin Joe has left and gone away...
	9:50pm Mildred: God bless GBV.
	9:51pm Sybil: Every single one of you... If you love Efd (and I know you do)... pledge to WFMU. You cannot live without it, you need it, even a few pennies helps!
	9:55pm Sybil: Yankees fans or Red Sox fans... I know you are out there! (other WFMU DJs, ha! Sunday afternoon, heh heh!)
	9:56pm Sybil: lost tribe rulz
	9:59pm Kat in Chicago: Hey Sybil, pledges have to be paid in full in advance for naming rights, correct? I always do the $15/month but might see if the budget allows a paid-in-full this year...
	10:00pm Credit Card: You rang?
	10:02pm Sybil: Gee-ah! I'm fighting Kat! I'm loving it! Because if I lose out to her, I'll find another part of the infrastrucrture to pown!
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: RIP Dory Previn
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: Credit Card: lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself
	10:05pm Sybil: Did I mention, recently, how astonishly excellent efd has been? Consider it mentioned.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: Sybil, I doubt we're eyeing the same prize - I've got a couple of alternatives in mind actually.
	10:07pm jeff in hawaii: Hi Evan
	10:08pm Sybil: I wouldn't be surprised, kid. In fact, excellent!
	10:08pm jeff in hawaii: ...and all. Good set for a sunset now
	10:09pm Sybil: Got to go sleep... bye y'all See you soon I hope!
	10:10pm G: night...
	10:11pm efd: Goodnight Sybil! Good to see you back. Hi jeff, thanks for listening all the way out in Hawaii!
	10:12pm G: It definitely sounds like the Whitney we know from later hits...
	10:12pm Destroit: Hello efd, and everyone.
	10:12pm Kat in Chicago: Destroit, I was just wondering where you were!
	10:13pm AndroidKBot: Imagine if Laswell ended up producing her albums
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bustin' Out is ridiculously superior.
	10:14pm efd: Hi Destroit! Barkevious, I agree - much more my cup of tea, but I thought it would be interesting to hear this.
	10:15pm Destroit: Hello Kat, been here all along, just not much to say.
	10:25pm efd: Belated greetings to Kat, AndroidKBot, G, Stevel, john, EL, Joe D. PB, Ike, Ken, and everyone else! Thanks for joining me tonight!
	10:34pm Kat in Chicago: I'm leaving work on time for once, so I'll catch the rest on the archive. Good night all!
	10:35pm Randolph Mantooth: The guys at the firehouse would love to hear the "Valley of the Dolls" theme.
	10:35pm efd: bye, Kat!
	10:41pm Destroit: Good night Kat! keep workin'
	10:41pm Joe D.: Stereo MCs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fresh with a capital F
	10:41pm Holly in NC: Hi efd & everyone! Better late than never. LOVE this Nothing People..wait a minute, can it be? OMGosh. Connected. Wow.
	10:44pm Destroit: Holly! Still have to check out the link you sent me...I'm a total Boob when it comes to that.
	10:45pm Dame Edna: How did the possums trap come out, possums?
	10:45pm Holly in NC: @Kat - the 15/month definitely gets you naming rights. @Sybil - I remember us reveling in our naming wins last year. Time flies!
	10:48pm EL: Gotta run out efd. Talk to you via marathon dollahs soon.
	10:49pm efd: bye EL, and thanks in advance!
	10:49pm G: I believe they changed it to one-time paid-in-full pledges this year, for namings. I'm guessing at least a few people got naming rights last year, and then stopped their monthly payments somewhere along the line during the year.
	10:50pm Holly in NC: @Dame Edna - Thank you for asking! One possum & one neighbor's cat (oops). And, elsewhere, 1 dead squirrel & 2 dead birds. @Destroit - no rush! Is Danne here tonight? I need his no-fail Stratego strategy, a six year old thinks I'm, er, 'challenged'.
	10:51pm Holly in NC: @G - :-(
	10:51pm G: Danne was in 7SD earlier...
	10:51pm Possum: The horror. The horror.
	10:53pm G: Just play possum, dude.
	10:55pm Droll: @G, Glad they finally got rid of that naming rights loophole. If I pay in full for a restoration of "Midnight Ticket Oasis" do I get a quality "Ticket" overdub every week? None of this 'Oh! [Cough, fumble] Yeah, Uh, Ticket!" stuff?
	10:55pm Holly in NC: @Possum - hush. I personally transported you 2 blocks away to our awesome neighborhood park where people grill out ALL the time & there's tons of nice sceaps for you. And an abandoned bathhouse for your shelter.
	10:55pm G: Ask efd, he's the one who has to execute every week. :-)
	10:57pm Abandoned Bathhouse User: Abandoned? So you think.
	10:57pm Holly in NC: As a paid and paying in full $15/monther, I protest. NOT that I will rescind my pledge!!!! Just sayin'
	10:59pm Translation: The segment known for a few more moments as etc etc
	11:04pm Possum: Can't hear you. Playing dead.
	11:04pm G: Sulky! You're spoiled.
	11:04pm AndroidKBot: I'm having fond memories of being the reason a local radio station adopted the 30 day rule.
	11:05pm Church Lady: @Android: Well, isn't that "special".
	11:06pm AndroidKBot: Can't just sit around setting stuff on fire when you live in a small town.
	11:07pm Beavis and Butthead: Why not? hehehehe
	11:08pm AndroidKBot: A box of wooden matches can only go so far.
	11:15pm miss cheri: hi evan--sorry i"m late commenting i was just listening to the show and you know how time flies,, well anyway how was your valentines day yesterday?? i love da funk!!!!
	11:19pm Holly in NC: Huh! This remake isn't horrid! In fact, I like it! Go Ringo!
	11:19pm efd: hi cheri, thanks for checking in.
	11:21pm efd: Holly, that whole Ringo album isn't bad at all!
	11:21pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:21pm mb: Radar Lo...nevermind
	11:22pm Destroit: I'll say it. I like ringo. 28th holly, let's eat!
	11:22pm efd: @mb, there was plenty of that on Ken's show earlier today!
	11:23pm miss cheri: hey danne i hope you're feeling much better tonight,,
	11:23pm jeff-m: wow, i wish i was cool enough for that "rollin' out" to be my theme song
	11:25pm Destroit: Hello Danne D.
	11:26pm Danne D: @Holly :) would you like me to post my stratego strategy (simplified)
	11:27pm Danne D: Thx cheri, I'm getting there. Hey Destroit :) Hey EFD :)
	11:28pm Mike Sin: Listening... Broadcast signal loud... In the dark... Hello from phone... Fine show!
	11:29pm Danne D: wonder what kind of fun folks will be in the phone room next week :)
	11:29pm Danne D: Hey Mike Sin :) (not to be confused with WFAN's "Mike's On") - though he should totally get royalties for that
	11:30pm Danne D: Looking forward to the AmNazz and JulieDark Hoof N Mouth debut :)
	11:31pm miss cheri: well evan & danne i have to scoot out now ,,yall have a great night,,danne get some rest,,,
	11:32pm Destroit: Julie is the Best.
	11:32pm Holly in NC: @mb - I thought the very same thing @Destroit - most definitely, if I'm not caring for little ones! And I of course love Ringo, as do all Yankee fans who remember 1978 ;-) @Danne - hope you're feeling better & I would love if you'd share your Stratego hints. I've been cajoled into a rematch on Saturday - winner takes on his 2 older & equally precocious brothers. efd, thank you for Pony Time.
	11:32pm Danne D: g'night cheri, I will
	11:33pm Holly in NC: I'm psyched Mike L. will be with efd! Mike L. was one of my 'gateway' djs.
	11:33pm Danne D: okay Holly - I always do two bunkers in the back (i.e. surround by 3 bombs). One will have the flag in it, the other will have a "7" to take out whatever miner might have gotten to that point.
	11:34pm miss cheri: night efd!!
	11:34pm efd: goodnight cheri
	11:35pm Holly in NC: @Danne - best use of scouts & spys? (I'd never actually played before this week!)
	11:36pm efd: Mike, thanks for listening and checking in from the dark!
	11:37pm Danne D: I tend to keep the 1, 2, and Spy close to middle for easier deployment, sweeping up. I'm trying to remember the rest as it's been some years. I know that none of the pieces was the same value as its neighbor. Pretty sure I did some sort of deal with a 5 and 9 in the front on one side and maybe a 6 and a 9 on the other. Generally kept the miners toward the back/middle - generally wanted to deploy those once I had a good idea of where the flag is. Generally found it easier to win by attrition.
	11:39pm Joe D.: I will school you in Risk. Any of you. Step to this and get SONNED.
	11:40pm Holly in NC: efd - That totally sounded like the opening to Superchunk's "Precision Auto" - wait there it is again!
	11:42pm Danne D: Very tough to knock out his 1 with a Spy - generally you have to keep the Spy close to a 2 or 3. About those 3's - I seem to recall I used them to the mid-back. I tended to play fairly non-aggressive, that is I'm willing to move pieces forward, figure out what's out there and then retreat - I'm content with laying back and letting the opponent expose pieces and picking 'em off. I like having a good piece like a 5 around to pick off the guys your opponent uses to pick off the scouts. A big part is making sure you remember what a piece is once it has been exposed. Shuffling your pieces back to your lines and moving them around helps to obscure their identity. Scouts I like to use if they have a piece that's exposed/uncovered and I want to find out what it is.
	11:42pm Joe D.: this is kinda like the Judgement Night soundtrack crossed with a car crash
	11:43pm efd: Joe, EXACTLY.
	11:43pm efd: I love Ice-T on this song.
	11:44pm Holly in NC: Hi Joe D. I cede Risk. Basically I cede anything except for backgammon, Monopoly & (bar) shuffleboard, I'm kind of a shitty gamer. Danne - I am going to memorize your tips. You rock.
	11:45pm Danne D: Played a lot in college. Always went with a pretty standard set up, flipping what side the key pieces might be on, but largely it was a similar deal. Btw, if you're opponent decides to get cute and put bombs right in the front, blocking out the front line - don't bother to take those bombs out - let them bottle themselves up, it makes it much harder on them.
	11:46pm Danne D: Thanks :) Oh, if you get an advantage (say you have an extra 3) you should have no problem with trading pieces (like say your 1s).
	11:47pm Danne D: My college roommate once set up bombs in 4 of the 6 front positions (leaving only the left side open for movement). He put 7's behind each of those bombs - and I figured that's what he had done. So I left the bombs alone and forced him to play everything to that left side.
	11:48pm Holly in NC: Even more phlegm than usual. Get that man a suction tube!
	11:49pm Danne D: I hope to avoid suction tube duty during EFD's marathon show next week :)
	11:51pm Joe D.: "according to the band's Myspace Page Ugly Kid Joe has reformed, with plans to tour in 2010-2011 and possibly write new material."
	11:51pm Holly in NC: I suppose I should clarify that I was referring to Mark E. Danne, you're not that ill,are you?
	11:52pm Droll: I also got the crooked-head quizzical look when Ice-T put together to two words "Motorhead Fool". Glad it wasn't just me.
	11:52pm glenn: devastator!!
	11:53pm Danne D: lol I'm fine Holly. My throat seems to be doing better. Still a little stuffy
	11:53pm Joe D.: the cover of that Born To Raise Hell single is something else. Really fantastic. It has "Motorhead, foo'!" written all over it
	11:54pm Danne D: Will be in the phone room the next 2 weeks so you'll probably not see me here on the comments board (except perhaps for a blind hello from my phone) :)
	11:55pm G: @Danne: So it's free rein for gossiping about you on here, huh? :-P
	11:57pm Danne D: Thought it always was, G :)
	11:57pm Danne D: I've got to be the most boring gossip topic ever, anyway.
	11:58pm Danne D: Anyway have a good night everyone! :) Thanks for a great show Evan! Looking forward to taking everyone's pledges during next week's show. PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!!
	12:00am Holly in NC: Thank you Evan, thank you & feel better Danne, Destroit let's talk!
	11:47am getinline: That is such a cute picture of the Pomeranian, you can see some more cute pics of this dog over at www.smalldogbreeds.info
	11:48am getinline: There are loads more pics of the Pomeranian and all the other small dog breeds on this page here www.smalldogbreeds.info...

	9:11pm G: Pitchers and catchers, less than a week. I can almost smell the flowers blooming already... Today is the first day of the last half of February...
	9:13pm G: Ceausescu (spelt like that), the romanian dictator who was killed around 1990?
	9:13pm SteveL: efd: You going to post the shot of you and dusty watching the dogs or should I?
	9:13pm Sybil: Ney, G, it's been awhile. I've had weird schedule, but now, weird or not, I'm such an Evan fan... I'm, here!
	9:15pm G: Here's where I flunk the Alzheimers test -- You're a math teacher or math grad student or something along those lines??? If so, the comment authentication is not as challenging for you as for some of us.
	9:16pm Sybil: But dang efd... ceauseseau??? Beyond expectactions!
	9:16pm G: Fatima Mansions is a somewhat infamous Dublin housing project, by the way. (I've published about Irish stuff, and spent time in Dublin.)
	9:17pm EL: My wife is going to flip out over this dog-themed set when she gets home.
	9:18pm Sybil: Hey G... You're the best! Yeah all that! Wow! Mathetatician me!
	9:19pm Sybil: P.S. the alleged "math" is the pits for me. I can't add.
	9:20pm Barkevious Shabazz: Song/Picture request Any Instrumental/Basenji
	9:20pm Ike: I haven't heard "Blues for Ceauşescu" or "This is How It Feels" in eons! Awesome.
	9:20pm G: That math is too simple, eh? :-P
	9:22pm efd: Hi everyone! Special hi to Sybil! Going a little crazy with the dog-wrangling just now, but thanks all for listening!
	9:22pm Sybil: Evan, I'm planning to do an early pledge to tie down my naming. Sorry about that. But I promise to bug people here!
	9:22pm dog pound dogs: We demand equal time!
	9:22pm efd: Brownie points for anyone who makes the connection between Inspiral Carpets and the pictured dog.
	9:23pm Sybil: No, G, I can't add! :)
	9:23pm G: Whose dog pics? They're good...
	9:24pm john: Hey Evan, and all! I know, but I sort of cheated. And I loved Inspiral Carpets 20 years ago.
	9:24pm Barkevious Shabazz: The Mini-Pinscher peed on the inspiral carpet?
	9:25pm Sybil: john o john! You're john I hope! Hey you!
	9:26pm john: Sybil! My gosh, I mean, criminy!
	9:27pm 12539: EFD - I think I know the connection too, but I sort of cheated, probably the same way as John.
	9:28pm Sybil: criminy indeed! Hey sweetie!
	9:28pm efd: google reverse image search?
	9:29pm 12539: Image name.
	9:29pm efd: oh, duh! of course.
	9:30pm john: Reverse image search--you're twisting my melon, man. Nothing too technological. Just a little memory-jogging re breed varieties.
	9:31pm EL: Whither Nazario?
	9:31pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bull Terriers kickin ass.
	9:33pm EL: Whippet good!
	9:33pm Kat in Chicago: "whippet"? groans
	9:33pm john: After which, I remembered I could have just grabbed the pic and got the name. But why do something the easy way when there's a difficult one? And Sybil, you've been missed!
	9:33pm Joe D.: that whippit pun. God. Dammit.
	9:34pm PB: Anyone remember the Toronto punk band Nazi Dog & The Viletones. I don't even remember if they were any good, just remember the name.
	9:34pm Sybil: OK y'al... I am the owner of a certain part of the WFMU infrastructure... and I plan on owning it this time around! I'm making my pledge before the deadline so that I can have my stuff named after me again. But you all? I dare you to match me! And efd.... you played "whip it"? I so love you!
	9:34pm Joe D.: sorry, whippet. Not whippit. Heh.
	9:34pm 12539: The kids listening to the airwaves alone don't get the awful puns.
	9:34pm john: Gets you every year, eh?
	9:35pm G: Here's a modest-sized bit of dog art: Jeff Koons, "Puppy", at Rock Center NYC in 2000: http://www.artnet.com/magazine/features/saltz/saltz6-21-1.asp
	9:35pm Sybil: whippet good!
	9:36pm 12539: Maybe I spoke too soon.
	9:37pm john: Time to start the Evan "Funk" Davies For Westminster Kennel Club Announcer Facebook group.
	9:37pm Sybil: One cannot speak too soon.
	9:38pm G: I was wondering what "announcer audition" meant. No more.
	9:39pm EL: John O'Hurley better watch his back.
	9:39pm SteveL: If you didn't see it on his Twitter feed, here's a shot of efd watching the show with Dusty, a noted dog expert. http://lockerz.com/s/183906272
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I was wondering if EFD was gonna backannounce all night like that...
	9:40pm john: We live in hope.
	9:41pm Sybil: This is possibly the best efd show of the year, every year. And I say that as a RSfan. How brilliant is this?!
	9:43pm Barkevious Shabazz: Even Joe Garagiola eventually released his deathgrip on the Westminster mic. There's hope yet.
	9:45pm Sybil: Joltin Joe has left and gone away...
	9:50pm Mildred: God bless GBV.
	9:51pm Sybil: Every single one of you... If you love Efd (and I know you do)... pledge to WFMU. You cannot live without it, you need it, even a few pennies helps!
	9:55pm Sybil: Yankees fans or Red Sox fans... I know you are out there! (other WFMU DJs, ha! Sunday afternoon, heh heh!)
	9:56pm Sybil: lost tribe rulz
	9:59pm Kat in Chicago: Hey Sybil, pledges have to be paid in full in advance for naming rights, correct? I always do the $15/month but might see if the budget allows a paid-in-full this year...
	10:00pm Credit Card: You rang?
	10:02pm Sybil: Gee-ah! I'm fighting Kat! I'm loving it! Because if I lose out to her, I'll find another part of the infrastrucrture to pown!
	10:05pm Barkevious Shabazz: RIP Dory Previn
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: Credit Card: lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself
	10:05pm Sybil: Did I mention, recently, how astonishly excellent efd has been? Consider it mentioned.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: Sybil, I doubt we're eyeing the same prize - I've got a couple of alternatives in mind actually.
	10:07pm jeff in hawaii: Hi Evan
	10:08pm Sybil: I wouldn't be surprised, kid. In fact, excellent!
	10:08pm jeff in hawaii: ...and all. Good set for a sunset now
	10:09pm Sybil: Got to go sleep... bye y'all See you soon I hope!
	10:10pm G: night...
	10:11pm efd: Goodnight Sybil! Good to see you back. Hi jeff, thanks for listening all the way out in Hawaii!
	10:12pm G: It definitely sounds like the Whitney we know from later hits...
	10:12pm Destroit: Hello efd, and everyone.
	10:12pm Kat in Chicago: Destroit, I was just wondering where you were!
	10:13pm AndroidKBot: Imagine if Laswell ended up producing her albums
	10:13pm Barkevious Shabazz: Bustin' Out is ridiculously superior.
	10:14pm efd: Hi Destroit! Barkevious, I agree - much more my cup of tea, but I thought it would be interesting to hear this.
	10:15pm Destroit: Hello Kat, been here all along, just not much to say.
	10:25pm efd: Belated greetings to Kat, AndroidKBot, G, Stevel, john, EL, Joe D. PB, Ike, Ken, and everyone else! Thanks for joining me tonight!
	10:34pm Kat in Chicago: I'm leaving work on time for once, so I'll catch the rest on the archive. Good night all!
	10:35pm Randolph Mantooth: The guys at the firehouse would love to hear the "Valley of the Dolls" theme.
	10:35pm efd: bye, Kat!
	10:41pm Destroit: Good night Kat! keep workin'
	10:41pm Joe D.: Stereo MCs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fresh with a capital F
	10:41pm Holly in NC: Hi efd & everyone! Better late than never. LOVE this Nothing People..wait a minute, can it be? OMGosh. Connected. Wow.
	10:44pm Destroit: Holly! Still have to check out the link you sent me...I'm a total Boob when it comes to that.
	10:45pm Dame Edna: How did the possums trap come out, possums?
	10:45pm Holly in NC: @Kat - the 15/month definitely gets you naming rights. @Sybil - I remember us reveling in our naming wins last year. Time flies!
	10:48pm EL: Gotta run out efd. Talk to you via marathon dollahs soon.
	10:49pm efd: bye EL, and thanks in advance!
	10:49pm G: I believe they changed it to one-time paid-in-full pledges this year, for namings. I'm guessing at least a few people got naming rights last year, and then stopped their monthly payments somewhere along the line during the year.
	10:50pm Holly in NC: @Dame Edna - Thank you for asking! One possum & one neighbor's cat (oops). And, elsewhere, 1 dead squirrel & 2 dead birds. @Destroit - no rush! Is Danne here tonight? I need his no-fail Stratego strategy, a six year old thinks I'm, er, 'challenged'.
	10:51pm Holly in NC: @G - :-(
	10:51pm G: Danne was in 7SD earlier...
	10:51pm Possum: The horror. The horror.
	10:53pm G: Just play possum, dude.
	10:55pm Droll: @G, Glad they finally got rid of that naming rights loophole. If I pay in full for a restoration of "Midnight Ticket Oasis" do I get a quality "Ticket" overdub every week? None of this 'Oh! [Cough, fumble] Yeah, Uh, Ticket!" stuff?
	10:55pm Holly in NC: @Possum - hush. I personally transported you 2 blocks away to our awesome neighborhood park where people grill out ALL the time & there's tons of nice sceaps for you. And an abandoned bathhouse for your shelter.
	10:55pm G: Ask efd, he's the one who has to execute every week. :-)
	10:57pm Abandoned Bathhouse User: Abandoned? So you think.
	10:57pm Holly in NC: As a paid and paying in full $15/monther, I protest. NOT that I will rescind my pledge!!!! Just sayin'
	10:59pm Translation: The segment known for a few more moments as etc etc
	11:04pm Possum: Can't hear you. Playing dead.
	11:04pm G: Sulky! You're spoiled.
	11:04pm AndroidKBot: I'm having fond memories of being the reason a local radio station adopted the 30 day rule.
	11:05pm Church Lady: @Android: Well, isn't that "special".
	11:06pm AndroidKBot: Can't just sit around setting stuff on fire when you live in a small town.
	11:07pm Beavis and Butthead: Why not? hehehehe
	11:08pm AndroidKBot: A box of wooden matches can only go so far.
	11:15pm miss cheri: hi evan--sorry i"m late commenting i was just listening to the show and you know how time flies,, well anyway how was your valentines day yesterday?? i love da funk!!!!
	11:19pm Holly in NC: Huh! This remake isn't horrid! In fact, I like it! Go Ringo!
	11:19pm efd: hi cheri, thanks for checking in.
	11:21pm efd: Holly, that whole Ringo album isn't bad at all!
	11:21pm Danne D: Hi Funk Fans :)
	11:21pm mb: Radar Lo...nevermind
	11:22pm Destroit: I'll say it. I like ringo. 28th holly, let's eat!
	11:22pm efd: @mb, there was plenty of that on Ken's show earlier today!
	11:23pm miss cheri: hey danne i hope you're feeling much better tonight,,
	11:23pm jeff-m: wow, i wish i was cool enough for that "rollin' out" to be my theme song
	11:25pm Destroit: Hello Danne D.
	11:26pm Danne D: @Holly :) would you like me to post my stratego strategy (simplified)
	11:27pm Danne D: Thx cheri, I'm getting there. Hey Destroit :) Hey EFD :)
	11:28pm Mike Sin: Listening... Broadcast signal loud... In the dark... Hello from phone... Fine show!
	11:29pm Danne D: wonder what kind of fun folks will be in the phone room next week :)
	11:29pm Danne D: Hey Mike Sin :) (not to be confused with WFAN's "Mike's On") - though he should totally get royalties for that
	11:30pm Danne D: Looking forward to the AmNazz and JulieDark Hoof N Mouth debut :)
	11:31pm miss cheri: well evan & danne i have to scoot out now ,,yall have a great night,,danne get some rest,,,
	11:32pm Destroit: Julie is the Best.
	11:32pm Holly in NC: @mb - I thought the very same thing @Destroit - most definitely, if I'm not caring for little ones! And I of course love Ringo, as do all Yankee fans who remember 1978 ;-) @Danne - hope you're feeling better & I would love if you'd share your Stratego hints. I've been cajoled into a rematch on Saturday - winner takes on his 2 older & equally precocious brothers. efd, thank you for Pony Time.
	11:32pm Danne D: g'night cheri, I will
	11:33pm Holly in NC: I'm psyched Mike L. will be with efd! Mike L. was one of my 'gateway' djs.
	11:33pm Danne D: okay Holly - I always do two bunkers in the back (i.e. surround by 3 bombs). One will have the flag in it, the other will have a "7" to take out whatever miner might have gotten to that point.
	11:34pm miss cheri: night efd!!
	11:34pm efd: goodnight cheri
	11:35pm Holly in NC: @Danne - best use of scouts & spys? (I'd never actually played before this week!)
	11:36pm efd: Mike, thanks for listening and checking in from the dark!
	11:37pm Danne D: I tend to keep the 1, 2, and Spy close to middle for easier deployment, sweeping up. I'm trying to remember the rest as it's been some years. I know that none of the pieces was the same value as its neighbor. Pretty sure I did some sort of deal with a 5 and 9 in the front on one side and maybe a 6 and a 9 on the other. Generally kept the miners toward the back/middle - generally wanted to deploy those once I had a good idea of where the flag is. Generally found it easier to win by attrition.
	11:39pm Joe D.: I will school you in Risk. Any of you. Step to this and get SONNED.
	11:40pm Holly in NC: efd - That totally sounded like the opening to Superchunk's "Precision Auto" - wait there it is again!
	11:42pm Danne D: Very tough to knock out his 1 with a Spy - generally you have to keep the Spy close to a 2 or 3. About those 3's - I seem to recall I used them to the mid-back. I tended to play fairly non-aggressive, that is I'm willing to move pieces forward, figure out what's out there and then retreat - I'm content with laying back and letting the opponent expose pieces and picking 'em off. I like having a good piece like a 5 around to pick off the guys your opponent uses to pick off the scouts. A big part is making sure you remember what a piece is once it has been exposed. Shuffling your pieces back to your lines and moving them around helps to obscure their identity. Scouts I like to use if they have a piece that's exposed/uncovered and I want to find out what it is.
	11:42pm Joe D.: this is kinda like the Judgement Night soundtrack crossed with a car crash
	11:43pm efd: Joe, EXACTLY.
	11:43pm efd: I love Ice-T on this song.
	11:44pm Holly in NC: Hi Joe D. I cede Risk. Basically I cede anything except for backgammon, Monopoly & (bar) shuffleboard, I'm kind of a shitty gamer. Danne - I am going to memorize your tips. You rock.
	11:45pm Danne D: Played a lot in college. Always went with a pretty standard set up, flipping what side the key pieces might be on, but largely it was a similar deal. Btw, if you're opponent decides to get cute and put bombs right in the front, blocking out the front line - don't bother to take those bombs out - let them bottle themselves up, it makes it much harder on them.
	11:46pm Danne D: Thanks :) Oh, if you get an advantage (say you have an extra 3) you should have no problem with trading pieces (like say your 1s).
	11:47pm Danne D: My college roommate once set up bombs in 4 of the 6 front positions (leaving only the left side open for movement). He put 7's behind each of those bombs - and I figured that's what he had done. So I left the bombs alone and forced him to play everything to that left side.
	11:48pm Holly in NC: Even more phlegm than usual. Get that man a suction tube!
	11:49pm Danne D: I hope to avoid suction tube duty during EFD's marathon show next week :)
	11:51pm Joe D.: "according to the band's Myspace Page Ugly Kid Joe has reformed, with plans to tour in 2010-2011 and possibly write new material."
	11:51pm Holly in NC: I suppose I should clarify that I was referring to Mark E. Danne, you're not that ill,are you?
	11:52pm Droll: I also got the crooked-head quizzical look when Ice-T put together to two words "Motorhead Fool". Glad it wasn't just me.
	11:52pm glenn: devastator!!
	11:53pm Danne D: lol I'm fine Holly. My throat seems to be doing better. Still a little stuffy
	11:53pm Joe D.: the cover of that Born To Raise Hell single is something else. Really fantastic. It has "Motorhead, foo'!" written all over it
	11:54pm Danne D: Will be in the phone room the next 2 weeks so you'll probably not see me here on the comments board (except perhaps for a blind hello from my phone) :)
	11:55pm G: @Danne: So it's free rein for gossiping about you on here, huh? :-P
	11:57pm Danne D: Thought it always was, G :)
	11:57pm Danne D: I've got to be the most boring gossip topic ever, anyway.
	11:58pm Danne D: Anyway have a good night everyone! :) Thanks for a great show Evan! Looking forward to taking everyone's pledges during next week's show. PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!!
	12:00am Holly in NC: Thank you Evan, thank you & feel better Danne, Destroit let's talk!
	11:47am getinline: That is such a cute picture of the Pomeranian, you can see some more cute pics of this dog over at www.smalldogbreeds.info
	11:48am getinline: There are loads more pics of the Pomeranian and all the other small dog breeds on this page here www.smalldogbreeds.info...
