Courtney claims he is in that photograph but he refuses to identify himself. Personally I suspect he's in the photograph in the photograph.

Good morning, Lolabelle. I want to thank you for, and congratulate you on, a so-far-very-well-done job coordinating and maintaining the Codger's playlist. You've also had some limited success in keeping the conversation civil here, which is important or at least nice.

Lolabelle Pancake:

Hello, everyone. I was here earlier today cleaning up Courtney's poutin' shanty. I had to empty the ashtrays and spittoons, sweep up the cigar butts, and recycle the depleted Sly Weasel Bourbon bottles. I would have disinfected the premises but Courtney says sanitizer gives him a "rash on his ass" (I take his word for it), so he forbids it.

I hope none of Courtney's fans are currently undergoing musical hardship from being subjected to Fablo's horrid programming. Please be patient—relief is on the way at 6pm.

My radio tuned too quickly and I do not jest when I wonder if WFMU was just broadcasting the 1913 Balkan War live on Fabio's Show! Now it sounds like a post-war dream of escape. Please let this madness release us from it's bonds of life, ever so soon.
