Moonshine and LSD! Just like mom used to make! Good afternoon all.

1:34pm David in London:

I’m a bit out of practise - what are the correct proportions to mix Moonshine and LSD?

1:34pm swivs:

David; I'd say it's an either-way-you-lose kind of recipe.

1:35pm egould310:

I’m thinking of adding some LSD to the Old Grand Dad 100 proof I’m sipping on. Saturday is a good day for a “ murder trip” I guess?

1:37pm spodiodi:

My ex girlfriend was Tony Randall's 'date' at a gala event when she was in the Houston ballet...she said he was charming

Big Fanny = Misogyny+anti-blackness

🌮

1:45pm Motobro:

Big Fanny !! That be one baaaddd ass gal.

1:46pm phat:

I. Can't. Even.

1:46pm David in London:

Fanny means something slightly different in British English...

1:46pm spodiodi:

not sure, there's quite a view, eh, mr_donutsu?

1:47pm spodiodi:

David, that had crossed my mind while the song was playing, despite my resisting such a thought

1:48pm David in London:

Sorry spodiodi, didn’t mean to lead you to a visual nightmare.
Hey Motobro.

1:50pm mr_donutsu:

I’ve been here the better part of 20 years. Can’t recall anything quite like Big Fanny.

1:53pm phat:

Holy hell

1:53pm egould310:

If only OJ had recorded a murder confessional 7”.

🌮

1:53pm Mailman Tom:

I wonder what Jimmy Dean thought of Big Fanny

🌮

1:53pm Hubig Pie:

Murder ballads, moonshine and lsd make for a toxic brew

1:53pm common:

Well, that was quite morbid

1:54pm Cooh John:

Ahoy, DjLorraine. Listening and lurking.

1:54pm WM:

Interesting mention of John Davis Chandler. I've been watching Sam Peckinpah's Ride the Country (1962). Oddball character actor in a very good movie.

1:54pm spodiodi:

i was already there, DiL -- learned about that a ways back ... that word was always popular in my family in a cute way ... "i'm going to smack your fanny!" would say my grandmother, usually while laughing and not being very serious

1:54pm P-90:

And what’s better than “dark, homicidal Country records”?

1:55pm spodiodi:

no doubt, Hubig

🌮

1:55pm Mailman Tom:

Ace Records rule!

1:56pm Miles:

jeez Louise Dreyfuss thas gud

1:56pm phat:

It's astounding, sometimes, to think about who gets to make records.

1:56pm Hubig Pie:

and all that before noon, here in MDT

1:57pm Andres:

Today's show is in jeopardy of not receiving the "Approved by the Comics Code Authority" seal of approval.

1:58pm phat:

Porter Wagoner recorded The First Mrs. Jones as well. Amazing.

🌮

1:59pm Mailman Tom:

I get to see plenty of Texas towns, thanks to Mack Stevens!

1:59pm egould310:

Houston blues. Yes. Real nice. Another whiskey it is.

*Cheers, Fools!*

1:59pm David in London:

Spodiodi, I remember learning the difference when I heard my first Cheech and Chong album at a tender age, and was scandalised by their references to fannies. Someone explained afterwards. I like the sound of grandma spod.

1:59pm spodiodi:

cheers, egould310

2:00pm Little Danny:

Greetings Rex 'n' fools

2:00pm spodiodi:

I heard that Houston, Texas is bigger than the entire state of Massachusetts

2:07pm Choggie:

Fall garden all in....greens greens peas 'n beans. Radish carrot and horseradish

2:09pm Little Danny:

I'd believe it. Houston is *that* man-spreader, MT.

2:10pm Choggie:

No way tom....the whole county Houston is in is about a tenth the size of Mass

2:11pm Choggie:

L.A. CA. Is twice as big as Houston proper

2:12pm Greg from ZONE 5:

2:14pm Little Danny:

2:18pm P-90:

🌮

2:19pm Mailman Tom:

Can the average Texan fit into a pair of Bermuda shorts?

2:20pm davefromtoronto:

2:21pm Choggie:

2:22pm spodiodi:

what's iq mean again?

🌮

2:22pm Motobro:

Hey David IL !!!

2:23pm Sylvia's Mother:

Maybe "?" should move off to China, not Michael Shelly!

2:23pm Choggie:

....at the barber they use a visqueen tarp to catch the hair

2:23pm StringOFperils:

Left a double row of knuckle-ruts behind me getting to the cave door. This bedda be good busta.

2:25pm Choggie:

' double row of knuckle ruts'.... may I use that?

2:25pm StringOFperils:

Sure, knock yourself out...if you're still conscious after Rex

2:26pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Note to self: Begin every sentence with "Firecracker leapin' lizard."

2:34pm davefromtoronto:

2:35pm FUZZ GRAHAM:

REX, THANKS FOR FINALLY SPELLING "TEQUILLA TWIST" THE CORRECT WAY!

2:35pm StringOFperils:

Here let me just print that on my hand....dumb stoopid Crayola..

2:36pm Rex:

Fuzz - Took the title spelling straight off of the Fidelity 45!

2:37pm Little Danny:

Chuck Daniels & The Classics always makes me think of a guy singing along with a record.

2:37pm StringOFperils:

It's more Elmer Fudd-y that way

🌮

2:38pm Mailman Tom:

Sounds painful

2:39pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Hard to believe this record went to the #1 spot in the country.

2:39pm StringOFperils:

What country?

2:39pm davefromtoronto:

is this not unlike the plumber's crack twist?

2:42pm StringOFperils:

Yeah!!! Now that was a solo

2:44pm Little Danny:

The "just keep walking" micro-genre!

2:44pm FUZZ GRAHAM:
