1:18pm David in London:

Spod. All good here, evening chill out with the family to the lunkheaded sounds of Rex.
If you do watch The Tingler, will you rig up a shaky, scary device under your chair for the authentic experience?

1:20pm spodiodi:

i have a fork and an outlet nearby, DiL... hoping it does the trick ;)

🌮

1:21pm Hubig Pie:

i kinda miss having tcm.

1:25pm mariano:

Hey Rex, Crew, fools. David, Handy, spodi, Hubig. Andres (@01:15): You take that back! Bigfoot only goes to Canada for the healthcare and legal weed.

1:25pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Wise words from the Haze.

1:26pm Andres:

Couldn't make out what he said but I feel menaced.

1:26pm spodiodi:

hehehe, ahoy, mariano

1:26pm SeanG:

DO THE HUNCH

1:27pm Choggie:

Turned on the radio....HUNCHIN'TIME!!

1:27pm Andres:

Mariano: Bigfoot is here for the donuts and CFL.

1:28pm spodiodi:

i didn't know canadia even had donuts

1:30pm David in London:

Yo Mariano! Hello mate, how are you this fine Saturday?
Sadly we don’t have any Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) here in London, so I’ll throw in a Spring-Heeled Jack instead.

1:31pm captain mike:

Is it Possum Day already?

1:31pm spodiodi:

Spring-Heeled Jack!?!? that thing looks terrifying. yikes! keep it away!

🌮

1:34pm Hubig Pie:

Bigfoot type thing in Legend of Boggy Creek, so every latitude can have it's mysterious half man/monster.

1:34pm BNowB_:

Fools Paradise
A WFMU Treasure!
PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE :)

1:36pm David in London:

Spod. What with The Ripper, too, if you meet anyone named Jack in this city, just run the other way sharpish.

1:37pm P-90:

Reminded by Wikipedia that Sally Fraser played the UN Receptionist who has a (brief) scene with Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) in Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest”. VERY A-list.

🌮

1:37pm Motobro:

Good Sat. morning from the mile high city... temporarily of course.

1:39pm David in London:

Hey Motobro.

1:39pm spodiodi:

sounds like good advice, DiL! -- i wondered if there was a connection between the two when i made the mistake of searching on mr. spring-heel

1:39pm P-90:

I guess the original lead actress took one look at that “ice cream cone monster in the cave” and fled the production...

1:40pm dave wuz here:

hey, i got big foot right here. he says "hi"

1:40pm spodiodi:

brr. i wish i had bigfoot's coat rn

1:41pm spodiodi:

hi BNowB_ -- i'm supposed to ask ya about your deer impallation story :-B

1:42pm Juke Joint Jonny:

This is quite a tale

1:44pm Chris Spooner:

My 6yr old daughter is THRILLING to this set.

1:45pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Basketball coach Phil Jackson also came from Williston.

1:45pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

As fortold in prophecy

1:45pm mariano:

Andres: fair enough, lol! David: all good, thanks. Woke up yesterday feeling like a pile of horse plop and it lasted all day, no idea why. Woke up feeling normal today, which at my age is a victory. And while London may be deficient in Bigfeet, it rules when it comes to rippers, ghosts, whoremasters, bawds, magical governesses, and dancing chimney sweeps with suspiciously American accents ;)

1:45pm Greg from ZONE 5:

This right here is why I pledge.

1:46pm Sylvia's Mother:

Comic book genius Jack Kirby lived in Williston!

1:46pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Dr. Jeff Meldrmmn?

1:46pm Andres:

We need Congressman/Bigfoot erotica author Denver Riggleman to weigh in here.

1:46pm spodiodi:

i need a spoonful of sugar real bad

1:47pm Andres:

Spodiodi: Donuts are Canadian.

1:49pm StringOFperils:

NO. Doughnuts are Canadian. Donuts are American.

1:50pm spodiodi:

Andres, i'm going to have to learn more about them. hard to get my head around. figured it was too cold for donuts up there

1:50pm David in London:

Mariano, I ‘attended’ the FMU Skeptech online event on Thursday night, and with the time difference the finish time was a little punishing. Felt like I was dragging lead weights around yesterday as a result.

Dick van Dyck is the patron saint of Cockneys now and forever.

1:50pm StringOFperils:

And furthermore, I cannot find a bialy with a schmear anywhere up here.

🌮

1:51pm Motobro:

Hi Dave, Ya been riding that motorcycle up and down the halls?

1:51pm David in London:

I never realised that there was an entire Bigfoot sub-genre. I absolutely love it.

1:53pm GListener MW:

Great set!!! ...set-squatch

1:54pm spodiodi:

MW hehehe. agree

1:55pm Joe R.:

I sometimes forget how profoundly weird the Seventies were but man, this is a helluva reminder

1:55pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Well, that set advanced science

1:55pm common:

Man, mr Bigfoot is somethin

1:56pm Andres:

StringOFPearls: You've got me there.
spodiodi: I'll mail you a dozen after the thaw.

1:57pm Rex:

Please insert quarter here: pledge.wfmu.org...

1:58pm Handy Haversack:

Glad I didn't miss all the Bigfootin' around!

1:59pm Andres:

Rex: Thanks for sticking with the issues and not wading into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti partisan rhetoric.

2:00pm David in London:

Yeti Bob needs to be here to fight the yeti corner.

2:03pm RevComX:

This is the kind of social issue we need more songs about

🌮

2:04pm Hubig Pie:

Bigfoot wants Big Leg Mama for his bride

2:05pm Choggie:

Moar cameltoe

2:05pm Handy Haversack:

Dedicating all cryptid selections to Keilidh, who is *sorely* missed on Saturday late nights. Keep hitting from the crypt!

2:06pm StringOFperils:

She is still out there in the dark, of that we can be sure.

2:07pm spodiodi:

especially this time of year, eh Handy?

2:10pm Tommy in Neversink:

Those dang mambo purist

2:14pm David in London:

UB, undercover Bigfoot..?

2:17pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Topless bathing suits gotta go? Who ARE these clods?!

2:17pm StringOFperils:

Bigfoot favors a one-piece.

2:18pm Gaylord Fields:

This is the stupidest record I have ever heard in my entire existence on this planet. That is all.

2:18pm listener 126464:

Sorry, I made it. Cheers Rex, everyone.

🌮

2:20pm Tony in Durham NC:

I vote YES on NO.

2:21pm Rex:

Thanks for playing Rate-A-Record, Gaylord!

2:22pm David in London:

As the Sixties progressed I assume The Conventionals had a line-up change or two and changed their name to The Unconventionals?

2:23pm P-90:

I miss the Wolfman. I really do.

2:23pm Gaylord Fields:

Of course I meant that with complete admiration, Rex, it should be stressed.

🌮

2:24pm Tony in Durham NC:

Wait - I vote NO on YES.

2:27pm Rex:

Gaylord- Your lifelong advocacy of the "Parrot Twist" tells me all I need to know about your stand on stoopid records!

2:29pm David in London:

The Parrot Twist sounds like exactly the cocktail I should be drinking right now.

2:30pm Handy Haversack:

Make mine a double, David.

2:31pm Gaylord Fields:

Guilty as charged, Rex. And that Conventionals single was stoopid with 12 o's!

2:31pm P-90:

Two phrases seldom beheld in the same sentence: “lifelong advocacy” and “Parrot Twist”

2:33pm Gaylord Fields:

@P-90: It's the only single I play twice whenever I play it, as is befitting The Greatest Song Ever Recorded.

2:34pm Beep:

Beep

2:35pm Greg from ZONE 5:

@Gaylord: This is the only place where saying "This is the stupidest thing I ever heard" is meant as the highest praise.

2:37pm Gaylord Fields:

@Greg: Precisely.

2:38pm Handy Haversack:

That's why it draws such a cool crowd!

2:38pm Buttweld:

GGlad to catch your subversive shenanigans in real time DJ Fool's Paridise with Rex!

2:38pm RevComX:

It's a badge of honor to be a "no brow"

2:44pm Handy Haversack:

I'll have the boogie-woogie tatters, with curly fries.

2:44pm Buttweld:

Carmichael are you "Common" now?
