Good morning, Kaiser von Woofmooland Ken und Geo von JC!

🚽

6:50am -Ken:

f0f0, George! You're alive!

7:00am FϘFϘ (:

The duck vs cows GIF teach us a very important lesson in economy. Had Nature gave these bovine animals offensive capabilities the price of the milk wouldn't be that cheap.

8:01am Listener Robert:

Don't flake out; be like an elephant, who never forgets. Match others, but don't ape them. You can love your music, but never forget it's a physical phenomenon, so don't have a cow about it. Plunge into it, let it pull your strings, but don't put it all in one basket. Keep your eye on the doughnut, not on the hole.

8:07am FϘFϘ (:

Isn't Listener Robert, the quintessential GIF bard?

Talking about doughnuts...Who is the artist behind that amazing sculpture? It is not a rethorical question! I has to know!

🚽

8:27am Ken From Hyde Park:

Good morning from snowflakeland! Will there be an edition of Monsters of Soft Rock today?

9:15am Linda Lee:

9:18am Colleen:

9:18am Linda Lee:

@Ken ~ album was Straight Up. 71. let's get the label for you..

9:18am TDK60:

Fab 4 approved.

9:18am dale:

we had a diabetic cat in the east village and finding someone to give him insulin if we were both gone was a huge issue. a woman who worked at the vet we took him to said she would be happy to do it for $20 a day (morning and night shot). we came home and she basically just lived there all weekend and ate our food and changed the tv channel and took our ikea catalog. towels were even wet. if she wanted a crash pad for the weekend that was fine, but then we would have worked it out as a trade and not paid her.

9:18am Dave:

I love this Badfinger song. Their story is one of the most tragic in music history. :-(

9:19am Vincent Nifigance:

Good lord...

🚽

9:20am Ken From Hyde Park:

Badfinger = Straight Up album on Apple Records / Capitol.

9:20am Linda Lee:

@dale ~ sure hope she took care of the cat!!! yes, i'd do trade in that case. especially as i'm now basically homeless. actually did take care of friends' cats for about 10 days in January. told them not to pay me, but they did.

🚽

9:20am Krys O.:

Eelanus, that sounds like such a sweet kitty. I had a visually impaired kitty named Joe.

9:20am Losermom:

@dale that is a great story.

9:21am Linda Lee:

can't wait to get settled, really. then i can charge everyone without guilt. :-D

9:21am steveo:

Ken -- did you hear Bowie died?

9:21am Sem:

9:31am PKNY:

9:35am cosmic matrix:

9:35am PKNY:

The closest I came to disaster at Traction Park was when and the crew I was with made a chain or 7 or 8 tubes going down Roaring Springs. We got a head of steam, got ready to hit a turn, and instead of going around, the front tube went straight up, flipped in mid-air and handed on the group in the back

9:35am steveo:

9:46am dale:

9:46am steveo:

9:52am Sean in Bristol, UK:

Good afternoon Ken, hello everyone

9:52am dale:

steveo - they SHOULD have a marching band instead of some pop star who appeals to 15 year old girls instead of the people who like football.

9:52am FϘFϘ (:

When saying he legal ID remember that it is "East Orange". Not East Banana!

9:53am Ike:

🚽

9:59am -Ken:

The correct legal ID is: WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, in Rockland County and New York City at 91.9fm and online at wfmu dot org. Only Here at the end are you allowed to discuss East Banana. Talk about how great life is here and how every town on earth should strive to live as we do here in wonderful East Banana. Them sing the song about East Banana. You know the one. The Happy One! Well they're all happy but the REALLY happy one.

9:59am steveovett:

9:59am ultradamno:

If you want an excuse to set off the alarm. Play "Girl Athletes" by Half Japanese. Timely.

10:00am geoff mcq:

Steve Ovett and Sebastian "Seb" Coe were British middle distance runners and rivals in the early eighties. If I remember rightly Seb Coe won more times than Ovett.

10:00am MD:

WFMU East Orange, WMFU Mount Hope, in Rockland County and New York City at 91.9fm and online at wfmu dot org.

10:02am Ramon vs Ramon:

10:02am FϘFϘ (:

I think that ID was bought on the dark web because it sounded very illegal.

10:03am MD:

You are putting yourself out of a job Ken!!!

🚽

10:03am -Ken:

sigh

10:03am Brendan:

Sign that man to a contract! Did you hear how he slammed the phone - better than a mic drop.

10:03am jane:

@Linda. I wonder if that is why I just woke up dreaming that a a small plane crashed in the bldg across the st. missing our side of the street, no flames anywhere.
or the flu.

10:03am Mayor Frank:

I would like to call in.

10:04am Linda Lee:

where are you jane?

10:04am cosmic matrix:

sounds like poppy

10:05am Linda Lee:

she sounds like the bald doll-man with the butt ..

10:05am Jersey Cowboy:

twilight zone?

10:05am βrian:

"I'm empowered" was the first thing out of the stream this morning. Gotta love that.

10:05am (Murakami Whywolf))):

Mine oleaginous tones.

If I had a dime for every stranger who insisted I ought to do v.o. work but knew no agents therefor, and no other dimes, I'd have three dimes.

10:06am Linda Lee:

ok, pig screaming. i'm done.

10:06am Brad:

GREAT SET!!! What a show today! Thanks so much!

10:06am Thwacko:

My dream job is cartoon voices.

10:07am Rev. Turnip Druid:

I could give you a ten-cent coin out of pure sympathy; there's no dime like the present.

10:07am Jersey Cowboy:

oh linda. you can take it... power through

10:07am dale:

...to the tune of 'yes we have no bananas?'

10:08am dale:

SMASH A CHAIR KEN!

10:08am zopa:

these frequencies are making me thirsty

10:08am βrian:

Oleaginous but not too unctuous, one hopes. I'm partial to mellifluous, though a touch of gravel doesn't hurt.

10:08am FϘFϘ (:

People,

Ok. I just penned the official lyrics of the 'East Banana' Anthem while listening to some North Korea radio (it might have influenced the song theme):

EAST BANANA NATIONAL ANTHEM

Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land,
Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.
My beautiful bananaland.
The glory of a wise people
Brought up in a culture brilliant
With a history five millennia long.
Let us devote our bodies and minds
To supporting this East Banana nation forever!

The country established by the will of the people,
Breasting the raging waves with soaring strength.
Let us glorify forever this East Banana,
Limitlessly rich and strong!

🚽

10:08am -Ken:

Linda, that was a human impersonating a pig! Dont leave!!!

July 2002, four days into a five-day fast, I briefly hallucinated every tall building I could see having its own plane poised above it and to the side, Damoclean.

10:12am dale:

FoFo (: - i'm weeping tears of joy and pride.

🚽

10:12am -Ken:

Thank you f0f0! Whoever does the next legal ID< PLEASE! Do not forget to sing the East Banana song. AFTER the ID. Not before or during the ID. Thank you.

10:12am FϘFϘ (:

Brendan,

I enjoyed the droppping of the phone on that legal ID. In an era of smartphones you don't hear that sound anymore.

10:13am Lewis:

Thanks Ken

βrian:
It sounds much less unctuous via bone conduction, so hearing it any other way makes it seem _incredibly_ so to me. 'Mellifluous' would be nice, as Her Indoors (who goes out much more than I) loves bees.

(Actually, I don't like honey: too cloying and unctuous.)

10:16am WFMU listener WADE:

depending on you, son

10:16am FϘFϘ (:

Ken,

Now that Linda is gone time to play that soundboard of pigs in the slaugtherhouse! We have been waiting too long for this opportunity, right, Ken?!

10:17am Thwacko:

My wife and I like to make up ridiculous alternate lyrics to "Patches".

10:17am βrian:

Oh, but there so many kinds of honey. I tried to get my habibti to make a V.O. demo, but she couldn't make it happen. Too bad that.

10:18am softserv:

PATCHES!

10:18am (((Murakami Whywolf):

Patches, I'm coming for you.

10:18am melinda:

Thanks for playing Patches.

10:20am Lewis:

Eclectic mixes...

10:20am Beast of Boonton:

Clarence Carter ' Strokin' would have set off the goat alarm

10:21am Nacho:

I'll always remember when Ken played Clarence's "Strokin'" with Pat Byrne in the last marathon

10:21am Losermom:

@linda lee Sullivan County.

10:21am Brendan:

Sound the horny alarm.

10:21am Ramon vs Ramon:

LMAO LOUDLY!

10:21am Lizardner Dave:

This sounds like that Cheech and Chong song about basketball.

10:21am βrian:

HR has instructed staff to stifle the Love Jones.

10:22am howard in nyc:

I just listened to "Basketball Jones" yesterday. I need this tune for youngsters to get the context.

10:22am FϘFϘ (:

Beast of Boonton,

Clarence Carter ' Strokin' would have set off the goat alarm...AND the baby elephant alarm, the pig alarm AND the donkey alarm.

10:23am Brendan:

I got la Missus Jones Jones

10:26am queems:

10:26am Brendan:

Mangey patches.

This is love on laudium

10:28am Ike:

Got any Metric?

10:29am FϘFϘ (:

Oh, Ken found a stealthy way to play Dr Bootygrabber without being detected by the Goat Alarm!

10:29am Jersey Cowboy:

10:29am JFR:

10:29am Ramon vs Ramon:

Is this guy singing in the shower? May be he thinks no one is listening. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

In a battle between Ramon vs Ramon no one knows who will win.

10:32am MD:

Linda Tenement Downtown Manhattan is 'LTDM' in the official WFMU O.t.A. alphabet, so that's 'Linguae Thraco-Daco-Moesianae (Indo-European language project)'.

Let's fill in the gaps: 'K' is obviously 'Ken', 'W' is 'WFMU'—infinite regression is fine with me.

Three thousand leagues packed with natural wealth.

Brought up in a culture brilliant
With a history five millennia long.
Let us devote our bodies and minds
To supporting this East Banana nation forever!

The country established by the will of the people,
Breasting the raging waves with soaring strength.
Let us glorify forever this East Banana,
Limitlessly rich and strong!

THE DALLIANCE OF THE EAGLES
Walt Whitman, 1880

Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,)
Skyward in the air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling,
In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling,
Till o'er the river pois'd, the twain yet one, a moment's lull,
A motionless still balance in the air, then parting, talons loosing,
Upward again on slow-firm pinions slanting, their separate diverse flight,
She hers, he his, pursuing.

11:15am Frank Lekstutis:

Parade Prep:

1764, Catherine the Great was sitting pretty. Russia has expanded the empire. New cities being built. "Modernization" means "Going French"

She models miliary dress uniforms on French costumes. You see a throwback to that every time Putin emerges from his throne room.

As part of making America great, our Commander in Chief (GASP!) has decided to emulate France as well.

Is this actually a manifestation of Putin Envy?

I'd love to take a shot at designing a new military dress uniform.

Big hat, for sure, not furry, like some Hussar or Colbert. Higher crown and wider brim than the North Koreans, of course.

Cunsult with Mister T on gold braid and other embellishments.

Maybe they should all be smoking pipes, just like McArthur or Popeye.

Kilts are just outright manly. Maybe furry leg wigs to enhance masculinity.

Some sort of oversize jock strap to be worn on the outside, Clockwork Orange style, would be pretty intimidating.

The mind reels....

11:37am northguineahills:

I have never had a ringtone.

11:37am Dean:

Forms: 18 mariguan, 18 mariguana, 19– mara huiwane, 19– marajuana, 19– mariahuana, 19– mariguana, 19– marihuana, 19– marijuana, 19– merrywanna (humorous). (Show Less)

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish mariguana.
Etymology: < Mexican Spanish mariguana, marihuana, of uncertain origin.
It has been suggested that the Spanish word is < Nahuatl mallihuan prisoner.

Forms in -j- appear to be an English innovation (attested later also in French): occasional recent examples in Spanish probably show English influence. Influence of a folk etymology from the Spanish personal name María-Juana or its familiar form Mari-Juana has frequently been suggested; if so this would appear to have occurred within English.

11:38am northguineahills:

Devil's flower would be Flores de Diablo.

11:38am The Oscar:

Before I learned how to make ringtones I used to scour the official Verizon store for the weirdest options they had. No joke: I purchased an official Verizon ringtone of "I Need Your Head (This Ain't No Rock 'n' Roll Show)" by Hasil Adkins.

I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.
There were totally no bananas here a minute ago.
Umm, ha, I don't know what to say. There's like bananas all over this place.
