The man who is on the radio station right now (before Courtney) is playing horrid music. Courtney has instructed me to organize a protest.

Lolabelle Pancake:

Courtney is not at all amused by this so-called "music" that Fablo is playing. He's going to demand from the station manager that Fablo be fired and replaced with Rummy Delbarton or someone who can provide a more harmonious lead-in.

Lolabelle, there was a debate on the comments page last week and maybe you can help settle it. Is Courtney’s phone number 6 or 7? Don’t worry. Nobody will actually call him. We’re just wondering.
