9:00am Asheville Jon:

♥ 9:01am anne:

9:02am hamburger:

9:02am Asheville Jon:

♥ 9:03am Ken:

Hi all!

9:03am Michael:

Morning Ken. Is that the new Pere Ubu? You like?

9:03am hamburger:

♥ 9:03am Ken:

Asheville Jon - Click where it says "register" at the top of the page above the goathead.

9:04am Jeezy:

Ken has wildly unpredictable tastes, Michael. He may very well despise it!

9:04am Bad Ronald:

Good Morning. Why yes, yes I did know that goats!

9:04am glenn:

is that sue goathead?

9:04am ḑĉ ṗáŧ:

huh..

9:05am ḑĉ ṗáŧ:

ooh, wait. that nickname is just a little too precious...

9:05am Asheville Jon:

thanks Ken, will do. as a side note of moderate interest: i went to see Camper Van Beethoven last week, and Jonathan was wearing an old WFMU shirt, and i saw one other moof-moo shirt in the crowd.

♥ 9:06am Ken:

I like what Ive heard so far of the new Pere Ubu but havent fully checked it out yet. This new Bondage CD on the other hand is my new favorite CD of the year

9:06am Dan B From Upstate:

I DID know that goats.

9:06am dcp:

there...

♥ 9:06am Caryn:

Hello all!

♥ 9:07am anarchivist:

Good morning Ken and others!

♥ 9:07am Sem Chumbo:

Good morning from rainy windy NS.

9:08am The GB Kid:

Morning Ken. Morning everyone!

♥ 9:08am Ken:

glenn, no, not Sue Goathead. Its ponderous chewing goathead. PC Goathead for short.

9:08am other eddie:

i heard that jesus built the double neck himself WITHOUT ANY DRILLING OR GLUE! how is that possible??

♥ 9:08am Ken From Hyde Park:

The smart folks at Mensa are offering a free test until the end of the month. Humans only. No goats or space monkeys.
www.us.mensa.org...

9:09am f✰f✰ (:

Hola Ken and everybody!

I also know that goats

9:09am r i s k y:

KEEP IT WACKY KEN!

9:09am dcp:

I'm with you on this Bondage track Ken. Aresome...

9:10am common:

space goat

♥ 9:10am Caryn:

@other eddie: well, he did perform miracles. Having a stepfather who was a carpenter probably helped too.

♥ 9:10am Ken:

Yay! I love this Bondage song so much we're hearing it twice. This is on Wm. Berger's "Passion and Torment" label.

9:11am Honey Water:

Hello, Ken! Hello, Ken!

♥ 9:11am tim from champaign:

It just dawned on me, based on the rattlesnake gif, how weird it would be to have a musical instrument as an appendage.

♥ 9:12am Caryn:

That Bondage gif is making me suspect someone out there must have put out a rattlesnake rattler-shaped vibrator. But I sure as hell aren't going to google that to find out if I'm correct.

9:13am f✰f✰ (:

Honey Water (former kat330)!!!!

9:14am The GB Kid:

@Caryn - animal shaped dildos are a real thing.. no googling necessary

9:14am Michael:

Ken - this was my album of last year. Loved what you played then had to get it.

♥ 9:14am Caryn:

There's a kitten photobombing that Buddha gif! Sneaky little devil.

9:14am Honey Water:

@f✰f✰ (: Can no one keep a secret?! Not former, btw, quite *still*. :)

9:14am f✰f✰ (:

When all you have is a rattlesnake everything looks like a nail.

9:14am BSI:

Hey, I know that goats!

9:14am Honey Water:

I'm all squared up, but apparently that isn't necessary now?

♥ 9:15am Fuzzy:

A fine foggy Mornin' to y'all!

9:15am Honey Water:

@Caryn: Must say the kitten does not appear to have achieved a state of serenity.

♥ 9:15am Caryn:

@GB Kid: I'm aware of others, but this particular one has just never crossed my path. I very much think one exists, though.

9:15am BSI:

Ponderous chewing morning to all...

9:16am still b/p:

If the caption said "goat," singular, the whole Biblical sense thing could kick in more handily for big morning zoo radio laughs.

9:16am bbell:

you can never go wrong with a drunken monkey (or ape in this case)

♥ 9:17am Caryn:

@HW: yeah, some more meditation is clearly needed. Although based on his expression, I think he's already grasped the "existence is suffering" bit.

♥ 9:17am tim from champaign:

Ken, how'd you get a gif of my mother for the Les Goths song?

9:17am Uke Goldberg:

Nice Jimi/Fire rip off.

9:18am Honey Water:

DL aired a great goat clip last night's show. I found a version of it here: www.theblaze.com...

9:18am other eddie:

c'mon man, this set is making me anxious

♥ 9:19am Caryn:

That's what Bubbles is like nowadays. No wonder they didn't let him come to Michael Jackson's funeral. Would've been a drunken mess. And, you know, ripped some people's arms off.

9:19am Honey Water:

@other eddie: What's magnified as your avatar?

9:19am pierre:

already a lot of people in here !

Bonjour Ken and Kenians !

9:21am still b/p:

Jimmy Webb called -- he said if Cheetah's tanked that stretch down south won't ever stand the strain.

9:21am f✰f✰ (:

Honey Water,

You need to adjust your profile's privacy settings to keep your secrets safe ( I also know what you did last summer). I adjusted my wfmu profile to the highest privacy settings to make my username un-clickable. And oh, my avatar is black square so it looks like I don't have an account but I have!

9:21am The GB Kid:

Is Ken catfishing us?

9:22am r i s k y:

Suavemente!

9:22am Dan B From Upstate:

The best way to make sure a song doesn't get played on Ken's show is to request it. Ken, please DO NOT play "Sinfonia Agridulce"

9:22am Honey Water:

I love that Cohen song, ""Like a monkey on the wire, like a drunk [monkey] in a midnight choir"

9:22am jimindenver:

yes yes (er si si) spanish language "no es ese tipo de fiesta"

9:24am Honey Water:

@f✰f✰ (: I was only keeding you. I'm just having fun with an alterego on certain playlists. Not worried about privacy as everything I want to keep private very much is.

9:24am pickle box:

Mexican Institute of Sound - Sinfonía agridulce

♥ 9:24am DCE:

today is really shaping up strangely already

9:24am other david:

Ken! Listeners!

I got a letter from WFMU yesterday, profusely apologising for no Ken premium - so silly, premiums aren't a big deal, the station existing is what matters :)

9:25am reTodd:

I'd like to hear some Spanish Superstar. Damned for All Time

9:25am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Oh sure, go after the fruit-eaters.

9:25am BSI:

Keep on existin'!

9:26am other david:

ahem, derp, wasnt signed in

♥ 9:26am Fuzzy:

Davila 666 "Hanging on the Telephone"

9:26am Honey Water:

Apologies to all for that annoying video clip link. I should have explored more before posting it. :/

♥ 9:27am Caryn:

Snow storm outside. Holed out inside listening to Ken and eating raw cauliflower. All in all, not a bad way to spend the time.

9:28am pierre:

Shazam is the app that makes me humble, each time I shazam something, I go :

"ooh, I should have known this one, I don't know anything about music, I suck, etc"

9:29am Honey Water:

@Caryn: Our weather is wild, causing a Tengo-ed mess for us last night. Tornado warnings in January, fercrimminy. You folks to the east, be prepared.

9:29am The GB Kid:

That man's arm in the 'art time' .gif frightens me.. why is he there? what is he doing?

♥ 9:29am tim from champaign:

I heard a Spanish language version of The Smiths "There's a Light That Never Goes Out" while eating at a Mexican restaurant recently.

9:32am fuzzy muffin:

how about Los del Río - Macarena Christmas

9:32am northguineahills:

While I was driving down downtown Pachuca, Mexico last year, I heard the Smith's "How Soon is Now" blaring from a bar. Went back later, and all they played was Brit-pop and they had hundreds of beers. (my gf's friend suggested it).

9:32am other david:

Ditto Pierre.

I think Glen Jones is responsible for a big chunk of my Shazam tags.. I would never have known Bob Seger totally ripped off Brian Eno otherwise

9:32am f✰f✰ (:

My radar is detecting a Control Machete missile approaching us. Green alert!

9:33am dcp:

@Caryn, Finland right?

9:34am The GB Kid:

Bad Translation: No Es Ese Tipo De Fiesta = Your Ass Is A Jiggling Fiesta

♥ 9:34am Caryn:

@dcp: yep

9:35am dcp:

EX!

9:37am dcp:

yeah we need some of that snow down here. Getting tired of the warming era winters...

♥ 9:37am Sem Chumbo:

That's the groove I need right now.

9:38am Honey Water:

@dcp: Would a tornado cheer you up?

9:38am BSI:

yeh, today is nuts. Too warm. Someone go fix it.

9:39am Van in DC:

Greetings.

♥ 9:40am Ken:

Did you know that goats

9:40am Honey Water:

Freezing last week to 70 degrees yesterday to a cold front moving in = tornadic weather. At least Philo took the opportunity to turn our garden soil in the thaw and before the next freeze.

9:40am The GB Kid:

It was warm with rain yesterday. Today we are going to get 6 inches of snow. The problem with these warmer winters is that all the snow comes down real wet and heavy as a slushy mix.

9:42am Honey Water:

@Ken: Chew their food a minimum of 100 times before swallowing?

♥ 9:43am Cubicle Carl:

Is that Rick Wright adding the synths on the Spanish JC Superstar?

♥ 9:43am Sem Chumbo:

Judas Iscariot todo por treinta monedas de plata.

9:43am The GB Kid:

Did you know that goats.. were behind the Kennedy assassination

♥ 9:44am Station Mgr Ken:

are the hipsters of the Pacific Northwest?

9:45am Bad Ronald:

in other goat-related news...
www.indiegogo.com...

9:45am Honey Water:

Really?! Makes sense. A former co-worker moved from Floyds Knobs to the Portland area with their four goats and Donkey Hotay.

9:45am BSI:

"I was into ponderous chewing before it was cool."
-pcg

9:46am breugelesque:

As long as yr on the Espanol kick, Ken, how about digging up Billy Blond y la Pesada "Salgan al Sol"? Worth it.

♥ 9:46am Fuzzy:

Verguenza, Verguenza, Verguenza!

9:46am Honey Water:

@BSI: "pcg" ?

9:47am other eddie:

@Honey Water: why they're nanobristles clutching a tiny polystyrene ball, of course. tinyurl.com...

9:47am The GB Kid:

Did you know that a castrated male goat is called a “wether.”

9:47am f✰f✰ (:

Jesus Cristo Super Staro!!

There's also a great Spanish version with Camilo Sesto.

9:48am Honey Water:

@breugelesque: Will the debate over Breughel vs Brueghel or Bruegel vs Breugel *ever* be resolved in our lifetime?

@other eddie: Thanks!

9:49am Honey Water:

Philo C. Goat (pcg) is what I'm presuming.

9:49am pony:

youre a 7 incher.

9:50am dcp:

I'll settle for the winds of satan I guess...

♥ 9:51am rsj:

love the antonioni gifs, i have a bunch from this exact scene from an architecture school project, maybe i'll dig up the zip disk and send them over, there's layers of that crazy great stuff going on.

9:51am BSI:

@honeywater: per Ken, it's Ponderous Chewing Goat, which I find insanely great.

9:52am Honey Water:

Ah, I somehow missed that, BSI -- thanks.

9:53am breugelesque:

@Honey Water: As long as the old art historians are still kicking, probably not. If there's one group of people who linguistically throw curve balls, it's the damned Dutch.

9:54am sFrances from VA:

Yesterday when I was wearing one of my WFMU tshirts, some guy asked if I worked for them! For a blissful moment I let the fantasy soak in.
And then explained the you get tshirts when you DONATE to WFMU. Hinting that he should DONATE....

9:54am dcp:

I'll say, did you ever hear a Dutch person pronounce "van Gogh?" It's scary...

♥ 9:54am Vivian:

Rubber cement? It's nice, but it ain't no Modge Podge...

♥ 9:55am Cubicle Carl:

Rubber cement users group

9:55am Sean Daily:

Well, as long as my replicant Facebook clone looks like a young Daryl Hannah, I'm cool with it.

9:55am trev uk:

Facebook will never do that to me cos I don't like anything.

9:55am Honey Water:

I never bought a Betamax, and I never had a FB account. Sometimes I'm a Cassandra. ;)

9:56am BSI:

White blood cells are awesome.

9:56am Dan B From Upstate:

I've been spending some time unliking things I've liked on facebook lately. Kinda glad I have been.

9:56am still b/p:

Bryan Ferry, seer:
"I hope something special will step into my life,
Another fine edition of you."

♥ 9:57am Caryn:

I do love how the Dutch would ID Nazi spies during WWII by making everyone pronounce specific place names that foreigners never got right. But I suspect that if they'd asked someone to spell Breughel/whatever, plenty of innocent people would've ended up dead.

9:57am BSI:

Pitches & torchforks!
I'm with you.

9:57am lee:

invasion of the virtual body snatchers

9:57am Van in DC:

I have a virtual zippo on my iPod

9:57am Angry Mobster:

Where's the party?

♥ 9:57am rsj:

I like electricity

9:57am Honey Water:

Didn't Zuckerberg just make a huge donation to Christie's reelection?

9:58am pierre:

what about the FMU friendship society ?

9:58am lee:

how about some magma.

9:58am Uke Goldberg:

Uke Goldber likes Ken's rant.

9:58am Van in DC:

Goats like parties

9:58am duke:

How about Bic lighters and sporks? Torches and Pitchforks seem a bit much this early.

9:59am Honey Water:

@pierre: I know a good thing when I see it. :)

10:01am dcp:

I'm liking white blood cells right now...can't believe I overlooked that..

10:01am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

WFMU now has exclusive rights to sell your friendship.

10:01am Lewis:

Is there meaning in the colors of our names in comments list?

10:02am Honey Water:

@still b/p: 's about cloning?

10:02am Van in DC:

ha ha ha, near perfect timing with the dancing gif there

10:02am f✰f✰ (:

pierre,

Whatever you do in real life, it looks awesome!!!

10:02am Honey Water:

@Lewis: I believe each DJ can choose those highlighted colors for FS members.

♥ 10:02am Ken:

I cant believe I liked White Blood Cells and now Facebook has that info but they wont even LET ME SEE IT!

10:03am dcp:

sensible shoes....ball-point pens...

10:03am sFrances from VA:

Trying giving Red Blood Cells some love!

♥ 10:03am Ken:

Yes Lewis - I think the colored ones are people you are friends with but I will have to ask the internet so I will be right back with the answer.

10:04am dcp:

I think it's time we all created fake us's and like everything we hate.

10:05am dcp:

crap, I'm not even friends with myself...

10:05am Honey Water:

@sFrances: Just saw your unusual, beautiful "hybrid" cat photo. Is s/he a Siamese-calico mix or ?

10:05am still b/p:

@HW -- Whooooo knows?
"The badgers couldn’t compensate at twice the price"...?

♥ 10:05am Ken:

The internet was too busy masturbating to give me a clear answer but I think it is what I said Lewis.

10:06am Lewis:

Thanks Ken for adding to my knowledge.

10:06am BSI:

Still waiting for that alternate CAT-FREE internet. Perhaps that's another case for pitches & torchforks?

10:07am steve:

being evil is the only way a big free social network can be profitable, no?

10:07am Mark S:

I think green is for people whose profile you've viewed and blue for those profiles you've not viewed

10:08am Honey Water:

@steve: Ask S.M. Ken in a year or two.

10:08am pierre:

Ken you synched the girl with that music quite perfectly I must say

10:08am hamburger:

@StationManagerKen - are u on tumblr???????

♥ 10:09am Ken:

Nah I dont believe that Steve. And Facebook aint terribly profitable YET anyway.

10:09am Bad Ronald:

I think you're right Mark S.

10:09am f✰f✰ (:

Lewis,

Yes. The colour you see in the usernames in the playlist comment section defines your status in the WFMU Friendship Society.

The blue colour reveals users who are planning of pledging more for the next marathon.

THe green colour reveals the user has not pledged enough to the marathons.

The white/grey colour means the user is a VIP member (i.e. entitled for the free enemas).

10:09am Lewis:

Mark S - excellent! I can do an experiment (I am after all a trained Scientist!)

10:09am Honey Water:

Oh, guess I'm not getting any different colors for people. I thought you all were talking about the color of names in the FS compared with those commenters who haven't joined. So is the different color thingy tied in with FB or something?

10:10am The GB Kid:

I think the blue is for boys. Green is for girls. And grey is for.. well, everyone else.

♥ 10:10am Andrew Waterloo:

What colour am I?

10:10am Laura L:

Very spooky--right when Ken was talking about FB, I got an email saying: "Hi Laura, Sorry you've been having trouble logging into your Facebook account." but I have not tried to log into the FB account for at least 3 months, probably more. No kidding!

10:10am pierre:

I discovered that I looked like Matt Smith, the eleventh doctor who, today is a weird day/

10:10am sFrances from VA:

@Honey Water:She's some kind of Siamese mutt mix! Her brother is the orange tabby, same mom, diff't dad, actual litter mates according to the shelter in Portland,OR that we adopted them from as kittens! She is Panzy, he is Randy Bachman.

10:12am Honey Water:

@sFrances: Mollusk! Actually I was thinking of a different photo of Panzy -- a close-up I think? -- you had posted a week ago.

10:13am Honey Water:

Dr. Who is in octopus form now?

10:13am Lewis:

Ah the behavior of the colors is consistent with the hypotheses that Mark S has put forward...

10:14am sFrances from VA:

@HoneyWater: You can get your full Panzy on here, my Flickr shots tagged w/her name. ;) www.flickr.com...

10:15am Honey Water:

I exist in a colorless names world. Just blue for FS members and white for nonmembers. Has nothing to do with whether I've viewed or friended or anything.

10:15am Lewis:

The color behavior does not rule out the hypotheses of @f✰f✰, but maintaining that hyothese requires that my viewing of profiles changes people's future pledging behavior....

♥ 10:15am Caryn:

@HW: well, there's been a giant talking penguin and several Tardises shaped like human beings, so an octopus Doctor is really only a question of time.

10:16am Dan B From Upstate:

'Having eights arms is cool.'

10:16am Honey Water:

Thanks, sF! :)

10:17am Parq:

Great gifs, as always. I like the cocktail shaker the best so far.

♥ 10:17am Andrew Waterloo:

Having eight arms is a manicurist dream

10:17am Mark S:

You are blue Andrew Waterloo and I have not viewed your profile

10:17am pierre:

@Honey Water : he can travel through time and space, I expect him to look as an octopuss at some point. But no I was speaking about my true self (see ! The internet is already taking our lives through the friendship society !)

@ Dan B : totally !

♥ 10:17am MD:

Hello beloved Virtual world of WFMU...Good morning...Congrats on the new Repeater Ken.
TODAY ROCKLAND CO....TOMORROW THE UNIVERSE...we already have the world!

10:19am pierre:

Brigitte !

♥ 10:19am Caryn:

Dan B switched from blue to green now that I've viewed his profile as a test.

10:19am Honey Water:

Just got this in email: "... the pesticide clothianidin poses a significant danger to bees ..." Please don't "like" clothianidin on your FB, Ken.

10:19am Lewis:

I changed Mark S from blue to green by viewing his profile...

10:20am dcp:

yeah...I tried to like 'em....FUCK.

10:20am Van in DC:

The white blood cells have been called away to fight invading evil

10:21am CeeDubbles:

I think I will just leave the Jesus.gif up on my screen all day, seems to match all tempos everywhere at the same time, a true miracle

10:21am Honey Water:

@Caryn: My colors do not change no matter what I click on a member's name. Weird. Are you on FB, Caryn?

10:22am Dan B From Upstate:

And as a result, Caryn has seen all of my awful tastes in everything.

10:22am Mark S:

Thank you Lewis

10:23am still b/p:

Axe Christi.

10:23am Cecile:

Hi and bye, this is a day where my nerves just want me to listen to nature sounds on a loop.

Later!

♥ 10:23am Caryn:

@HW: yep, but I haven't linked my FB with my FS (I try to keep my FB at bay and unaware of what I do on other sites)

10:24am BSI:

As of 10:22am, EST:
WHITE BLOOD CELLS: 94 like this, 3 talking about this.
...perhaps we can cause the entire internet to tilt slightly to one side by causing a statistically improbable search trend...?

10:24am f✰f✰ (:

Hola Cecile!!!!!!

Adios Cecile!!!!

♥ 10:24am Cubicle Carl:

Isn't pee one of the seven dirty words?

10:24am Honey Water:

Well, hm. Kenzo? Ken? Any explanation why my peeking at other users info does not change any color scheme? No, I don't use IE.

10:25am Pete from Boston (and NJ):

Wow, I should have really paid the extra money and gotten my iPhone in color.

10:25am Gregry:

Ken, your yelling Japanese names makes me laugh.

♥ 10:25am Ken:

Honey Water, the internet says that you must friend them to change the color.

10:26am dcp:

kinda subdued for Eye.. gotta take compost out...

♥ 10:26am Ken:

Gregry, it is unfortunately the only way I know how to sound even remotely Japanese.

10:27am Mark S:

I'm using Chrome. what browser are you using Honey Water? I haven't friended anyone and the colors change when I view profiles

10:27am BSI:

Funny about this Pica Pica mix: for a while there seems like I kept running into various techno remixes of that Suns of Arqa track.

10:28am Honey Water:

@Ken: But I have here -- not on FB -- and nothing changes for me after doing so.

10:28am Gregry:

Please keep doing it, Ken! Keili can use it as part of her "Ken Pronounces Things" segment.

10:29am Honey Water:

@Mark S: I use Firefox. So after you view a profile, the person's name color changes permanently?

10:29am f✰f✰ (:

Honey Water,

Perhaps is an ophthalmology problem or is just a matter of your browser not generating browsing cache.

♥ 10:30am Caryn:

@HW: I'm also on Firefox, and the colours change for me (and yep, permanently)

♥ 10:30am tim from champaign:

Ken, can you do the Hurricane Sandy edition station ID again? That was probably my favorite radio moment of all time.

10:30am paulWCBN:

nice gif of the band Space (the one with the keytars and astro-helmets)

10:30am Honey Water:

Ah, it's the latter I bet, f✰f✰ ( While my eyes are not the sharpest, they still see color quite well. :)

♥ 10:31am Cubicle Carl:

Oh my. Mermaid porno.

10:31am glenn:

shouldn't the mermaids be rawkin' out with jesus?

10:31am Bad Ronald:

Lovely Mermaid Siren GIF Mr. Freedman.

♥ 10:32am Sem Chumbo:

Is is mandatory that mermaids have long hair?

10:32am Mark S:

Not sure about permanently Honey Water, but Gregry turned green when I viewed his profile. I closed the tab I was in and reopened and he is still green

♥ 10:32am G:

How did those mermaids ever get past the Hayes Commission?

♥ 10:32am Ken:

Honey Water, the internet says he is sorry he gave you the wrong information. He says he is hungover and he wasnt really thinking but he didnt drink too much last night it was also that he ate too much pizza and he still feels kinda nauseaus so sorry about the lack of accurate info on the colors. Im just paraphrasing here.

10:33am Honey Water:

So, Kenzo or Ken, would it be the case I won't see color changes if my browser's not generating browsing cache?

♥ 10:33am Brian C.:

Look at that FM Range map! It's just asking for animated signal rings, if you know what I mean, heh heh

10:34am Honey Water:

@Ken: I forgive the Internet. It really doesn't affect my great pleasure in the comments list, but I have an inquisitive mind when it comes to anomalies and mysteries.

♥ 10:34am Ken:

Hang on Honey Water, I will run back over the the internet and ask him that.

10:35am Lewis:

Inquiring minds want to know!

10:36am Mark S:

Maybe there's a glitch in the system

♥ 10:36am Caryn:

@Sem: I think the long hair is for all those "yep, I'm topless, but we're keeping things PG by having my hair cover my boobs" moments. But if they didn't care about that, short hair is as viable an option as any.

10:36am other david:

Be gentle Ken, I hear he was out with Rammstein last night..

10:36am paulWCBN:

mermaids don't have scissors

♥ 10:36am MD:

This guy is the next Bob Dylan!

10:37am Van in DC:

It is always wise to forgive the internet. Or face its cat attacks.

10:37am common:

genius

10:37am Honey Water:

It's the way the sirens are humping the rock that seems risque.

♥ 10:37am Fuzzy:

@Honey Water: javascript turned off, perhaps? Just a guess...

10:37am Jennique:

Found the show WKRP on a random channel on broadcast tv (channel 1.4) It was the two part series about a bomb threat & everyone thought it was at the office while it was out at the transmitter in a tool box. Just sayin', maybe do a bomb sweep at the transmitter tower. And watch out for phone cops.

♥ 10:38am Caryn:

Of course, long hair is also handy for making deals with the sea witch. After which, a mermaid would have short hair.

♥ 10:38am Ken:

OK so Im outa breath here just got back from the internet. It was kinda hard to ask him. He is throwing out a freaking MOUNTAIN of old pizza boxes which is good because it's really getting disgusting in there. There are mousedroppings and it doesnt smell good at ALL but basically I asked him your question about the browsers and he mumbled "pretty much" so take that as you will. Id rather not ask him anything else until after he's done some spring cleaning but let me know if you have any other questions or problems with colors or anything.

10:38am glenn:

they could easily buy scissors at the "harps, brushes and other things" store.

10:38am BSI:

Lonnie Holley is the goat's knees! Brilliant!

This guy is the next Bobby Dylan!

10:38am Honey Water:

@Fuzzy: Aha, now we're getting somewhere! I try to keep an uncluttered ship. I miss many bells and whistles, but also avoid some nasties, too.

10:39am Honey Water:

@Ken: :) You're in fine fettle this a.m.

♥ 10:39am Ike:

Cats cats cats cats cats? Cats cats cats! Cats cats cats cats cats.

♥ 10:39am efd:

The changing colors of the names don't have anything to do with the Friendship Society specifically; it has to do with whether the link goes to a page you've looked at before. For example, if you haven't been to the "ken's other playlists" page then that link on the left (above the munching goat) will be blue. But if you go there, then come back here, that link should be green.

♥ 10:40am Caryn:

@glenn: yeah, or just reach for a passing crab or lobster and ask for a trim with their claws.

10:40am Honey Water:

@BSI: I fully concur!

♥ 10:40am G:

@Honey Water: About name colors in comments. On different shows DJs have set up different color schemes (a few even change them from show to show). The color scheme they choose determines which color is used for "links you haven't ever clicked on" and "links you have already clicked on previously." On Ken's show those two colors are currently blue and green against a black background. On some shows, such as kurt g's if I recall correctly, the names almost don't show up because of low contrast (dark purple on black).

One funny thing I've noticed is that people I *know* I've clicked on before will go back to the unclicked color later. I haven't figured out if that's because they have made a change to their account and the actual URL their name links to in comments has changed and is no longer a "link you have already clicked on", or whether clicking on them on one show doesn't make then previously-clicked on another show, or what.

I still recall the netscape days when all unclicked links were blue, and all clicked-previously links were purple.

10:40am still b/p:

What's the collective mermaid term? A school? ..a pod? ..a provocation? ...a slick?

10:41am Mp:

Ditto on Lonnie h. Thanks for introducing him.

♥ 10:41am MD:

DID i mention!!!! Yes MD you did!!!!

10:41am Honey Water:

A school would make sense.

10:42am Honey Water:

Ike's a cutie. And so is his cat.

10:43am Listener Schned:

Psyched to get 91.9 reception when I go back to hanging in the Montrose area (where 90.1 came in oddly well last year) but curious, where does 91.9 signal come from, in Rockland??

10:43am Honey Water:

Thanks, G. I understood about the DJ color schemes (hence my earlier msg. to that effect), but I get no different color for members, clicked / unclicked. Probably a Java script, browser cleaning dealie, etc.

♥ 10:44am Ken:

Hey G and efd, The Internet just stuck his head in here and he had a special message for the two of you: "Fuck YOU!" or something like that. It was hard to make out what he said because his mouth was full and he was masturbating rather furiously.

10:44am Uke Goldberg:

Monotonous,isn't it?

10:44am northguineahills:

@G: I've noticed the same thing. Some are still changed (in this case, greenish, and others that I've clicked on in the past have are the blueish color.) Haven't figured it out.

10:45am f✰f✰ (:

There is yet another authoritative theory about the Hows and Whys about the username's colours: According to this theory certain combination of vowels and consonants generate a different colour. For instance, in FOFO you have a combination of two F's and two O's (four consonant and a vowel). The value of F is white, the value of O is black. The sum of them is Grey, therefore, my name should be displayed in that tone.

10:45am glenn:

a jailbait of mermaids?

@Uke: Hey, bud, I want my line back.

♥ 10:46am MD:

I try to changes my Otherwheres once a day...sometimes twice!!!

10:47am Lewis:

following on @efd, the permanence of colors will reflect how long your browser remembers its history. If that is true, then @honeyWater's browser lives entirely in the moment, while the rest of us grasp some sense of the past...

10:47am Neg-guh-tor:

I said it last week, but Lonnie is insane/great. I would feel like a fool if I bought the record, but the more I hear.....

10:47am pierre:

whoa, the internet seems pretty pissed.

10:47am Honey Water:

@efd: No dice for me. Been there, done that, still no color change.

10:47am Uke Goldberg:

We have a winner!

♥ 10:47am MD:

I ment CHANGE...

♥ 10:47am Ken:

Just got a text message from The Internet and he said "Firetruck Born Wild" but I think that was his autocorrect and what he really meant to say was "Fuck Bad Ronald." So maybe you're right. Maybe he is a little petty.

10:48am Jennique:

A slurry of mermaids?

10:48am Dave:

This tune reminds me of Butch Morris. RIP.

10:49am BSI:

I picture this Lonnie Holley tune being piped into the waiting room of a cyclops dentist. Balloon animals would be present, in huge quantities. Awesome.

Judging from the length of this song, Ken must have intestinal problems.

Now, how do you explain this ?????!!!

This is what I am seeing!

GREEN is everywhere and usernames have the same colour no matter where I click!

10:56am Honey Water:

@Lewis: Ignorance is bliss, it's said.

What anagrams are there for "Liberty Realty?" It just so happens I have inherited a number of styrofoam letters to that effect.

11:04am Neg-guh-tor:

This Frank song is almost as insane as that Lonnie song.

11:04am BSI:

@HW (11:00): hah! That would be an idea, but as soon as Lonnie was done, the hallucinations faded, imagine that!

♥ 11:33am Ike:

@Jim, I don't know, but thankfully they've already demoted his Sat. show from Sat. afternoon to Sat. evening. Now they just need to do the same thing to his awful Sunday show. Or just cancel it. For once I agree with evil NPR consultants. All news/talk would be an improvement in that case.

11:33am Carmichael:

It's OK, Ken. I got plenty of other swag, and Bill Kelly managed to fill the void. You're still a good egg.
