Therese, it's perfectly fine to say all sorts of things about capitalism. some terrible things could be attributed to the current economic system...

BadGuyZero:

The first time I was at WFMU was to help send out swag. I folded a couple hundred t-shirts and stuffed other swag into envelopes.
  1:22am
rw:

I like the idea of little tags that say, "T-Shirt folded by ______" included in that envelope.

Of all the retail skills I learned, folding t-shirts never came on my radar.

@Ike: You know it’s fairly known fact that Bill Murray deals in cash. Seriously. I think Wes Anderson paid him for “Rushmore” with a suitcase of cash.
  1:30am
JakeGould:

Apropos to this great interaction, “The Racial Slur Database.” www.rsdb.org
Avatar 1:32am
Ike:

@Jake, that seems dangerous!

Also, calling Therese a "bennie" seems a bit dangerous as well.
  1:32am
JakeGould:

Is Bennie about Benneton? Or… I need backstory on that slur.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:33am
tomasz.:

Avatar 1:34am
Joe B:

The slur is locals at the Jersey Shore call tourists from North Jersey/NYC/Staten 'Bennies'. The origin is disputed - one theory is tourists on vacation with $100 bills in the pre-atm days whne you had to go to the ban just once for your 2-week vacation. hence Bennies for Ben Franklin
  1:34am
JakeGould:

I got it wrong. Bill Murray owed a guy named Luigi some money and had Wes Anderson deliver it to him by hand so many levels, “Yes, it’s true. It was for a man called Luigi and the money was some back rent or a deposit for a flat Bill rented. But I should say that it’s not that hard to carry €10,000. It doesn’t take a whole suitcase!” www.timeout.com...

JakeGould:

“Sometimes, but he leads an international life and I don’t know all the aspects of it. Sometimes he’s off the radar for a while and then surfaces.”
Avatar 1:35am
Joe B:

The other theory is it stands for Bergen-Essex-Newark or any combination of North Jersey areas hence, Bennies,

And this only is used in Monmouth & Ocean counties. south of there the slur is 'Shoobies'. I'd say the line is wherever the Taylor Ham/Pork Roll line is
Avatar 1:35am
BadGuyZero:

It's an acronym for the train stops they came from.

B=Bayonne
E=Elizabeth
N=Newark
NY=New York
Avatar 1:37am
Joe B:

or that - whichever letters fit. train stops make sense, because it is from back then when the train used to actually be used a lot for vacationers.
  1:37am
JakeGould:

Thanks Joe B! And BGZ. This Brooklyn boy is really fascinated with this stuff. I mean I think the worst region slur I dealt with growing up was “Slopie” as in, “Where are we going? Some Slopie’s party in a Brownstone…”
Avatar 1:38am
Joe B:

Bill Murray should pledge - check the opening scene of Broken Flowers - he gets into his car, turns on the car, the radio dial reads 91.1 fm, and the Greenhornes/Holly Golightly track comes on.
Avatar 1:38am
Ike:

The North Jersey Coast Line train has never gone to Bayonne, has it? That "B" has to stand for something else.
Avatar 1:39am
Joe B:

plus Jim Jarmusch has been on FMU at least twice - once with Chris T and once at ATP in upstate NY. I think Therese interviewed him.
Avatar 1:39am
Joe B:

good point Ike!

Yup, Therese was this close to Jim Jarmusch. www.wfmu.org...

Matt, I thought you were gonna be my sponsor on "Take a Bennie to Broadway Bar" night this year.
Avatar 1:42am
Ike:

Yeah, @Joe B., I like your explanation of "Bergen-Essex-Newark" better. Maybe add "NY" to fill out the whole word. @Jake, no problem; you prob. have departments where you excel me on useless info....

I saw Bill Murray at the surf spot, Swami's, in 2005. He had 2 big guys in suits w him, he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses and a pork pie hat. I said hi to him, but wasn't about to blow his cover w some fan boy autograph crap. I mean, come on, it's Bill Murray. Gotta play it cool.
  1:44am

But at the end of the day, “Bennies” are visiting tourist Richie Rich’s who just come and go.

Okay… Here is a new talk show idea, “Bennie and the Matt.” Nuff said. Think about it. 1 hour a week of this. Road trips. Remotes. Maybe get Uncle Floyd on every once in a while.

I do love how Rza and Gza keep saying his name when talking to Bill Murray in Cigarettes and Coffee.

I've seen uncle floyd perform at the shore area a few times, it is even more incredible than his usual shows!
  1:54am
JakeGould:

@JoeB: Envious! He seems so genuine! I sent in a postcard when I turned 11 in 1979 and he announced my name on the air. Such a memory! And I do regret not seeing him at the Bottom Line. So hey. Did see him in Williamsburg at the dance of the Giglio. At a distance, so hey.
