Ahoy fellow Fool - happy Saturday. Thanks for another perfect start to a west coast day, Rex!

2:07pm JohnEBGood:

Hey Rex
Are the records on your site 78's?

2:07pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Wait, what was the name of that place with the records again?

2:10pm Reeshard:

Back in the golden era of locally produced Detroit TV, there was a travelogue host named George Pierrot (local pronunciation: PURR-oh). George was a large figure squeezed into a wingback chair with a globe next to him. It was assumed, both by his guests and viewers, that George had been everywhere. George offered, by way of proof, a comprehensive knowledge of international food. If a visiting filmmaker remarked "Tuscany's quite a place, isn't it George?" George would respond, "Ah…the gnocchi!" Whenever I hear Rex catalog the continental U.S., sandwich hut by burger joint by rib shack, I'm happily transported back home, sitting on the living room rug, watching big George on TV.

2:28pm Ken From Hyde Park:

He can aspire to someday become a half brow.

2:28pm Marc Francis:

I"M SOMETHING NEW!

2:39pm pottybear:

Don't forget the brown sugar and the horseradish in those cocktail wieners.

2:40pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Hey, Reeshard, thanks for the memories of George Pierrot! I remember He was so eternally stuck in that chair we kids snarkily assumed George was immobile from the neck down. Which made the idea that he was so well traveled funnier.

2:40pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Yup. That's a square alright.

2:42pm Greg from ZONE 5:

"Dick Whittinghill" is the squarest name I've ever heard.

2:42pm SeriousTube:

You WFMU listening squares keep the world in place

2:43pm Ken From Hyde Park:

No Brow is quite a square.

2:45pm eye in the sky:
