Hello, Codgerians and Pancakifiers! Also Delbartonians and Flippants! We welcome you to the poutin' shanty for tonight's shellac-a-ganza! I'm talking silly because Courtney slipped some Sly Weasel into my Greek yogurt & granola and I'm tipsy too early in the day! Maybe a nap will help.

Did Delbarton whip up some Kremlin Tea for Fablio, or something?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:40pm

I heard that Fablio might have received the Delbarton Labs Breakthrough Vaccine.
Avatar 3:58pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

There is a rumor that Fablio has been felled by Delbarton's disease. The folks in the white coats at Delbarton Labs are busy burning documents and bleaching hard drives.

HyperDose:

Can we hold a candlelight vigil in the Shanty, or does that violate Courtney's strict no-nonsense fire code?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:35pm
G:

The alternate rumor is that a huge dusty pile of LPs fell over on him and herniated a lumbar disc. Kind of a latterday Collyer Brothers thing.

I tell you what, if this station had any respect for Courtney or the listeners, they would have sprung for full-size minotaurs

Significant budgetary concerns, ultra.

Ever had minotaur burgers? Very tasty. A Codger specialty.

Euneeda S. Bodenheim:

Lolabelle: Is Delbarton's disease anything like dropsy? Or is it a men's disorder, like a stubborn variocele? Gus gets those all the time.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

I unfortunately still have not made flapjacks to enjoy during this programme, so I can't call myself a Pancakifier yet. Haven't even had a glass of bourbon, so I can't even call myself a Codgerian! Excited for the show as always!

Euneeda, Gus IS a disease. They named Bodenheim's Delirium after him.

Sorry everyone, I was away from the comments forum. Had to help Courtney douse the blaze on his poutin' shanty sofa. He doesn't have a fire extinguisher. We had to make do with whatever liquids were at hand. Now we're down to just a half-bottle of Sly Weasel.

@Butterman: Formby made a whole career out of double entendre. ""When I'm Cleaning Windows" was banned by the BBC. The corporation's director John Reith stated that "if the public wants to listen to Formby singing his disgusting little ditty, they'll have to be content to hear it in the cinemas, not over the nation's airwaves"; Formby was furious with the block on the song."
