WFMU: Bad Animals with Amanda and Jim the Poet: Playlist from August 12, 2023

Listener comments!
	6:03am Andrea C from the app: Good morning Amanda, Jim the Poet, and all animal lovers
	6:06am jeff-m: morning
	♥ 6:09am Amanda: Good morning, beastly and human listeners!
	♥ 6:16am Jim the Poet: Call 347 455 8227 to have Amanda and I give you recommendations on a breed of dog to adopt! Call during the show and leave a message. Phone lines are now open!
	6:16am grape myst reduction: I may enjoy hearing (& studying!) Katydids as Much if not more than crickets and grasshoppers.
	♥ 6:19am Amanda: ↳ grape myst reduction @6:16 It's so hard to choose!
	6:24am Kathleen from JC: Hi animals! Driving to LI to spay and neuter cats!
	♥ 6:29am Jim the Poet: Have a great day spaying!!!
	6:31am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Good morning Amanda and Jim the Poet and animal lovers!
	6:33am grape myst reduction: what follows is Not joking around (yet it is humorous)… have y’all ever been lucky enough to see an insect called a “cockchafer” in person. We have only recently been seeing them on our window screens in the middle of night when they are attracted to lights (not sure what they feed on, seems like they gather around other smaller insects). Wiki has less dramatic photo examples than some other images elsewhere - their antennae look like 🫎 moose antlers!
	♥ 6:36am Amanda: ↳ grape myst reduction @6:33 Don't know if I have ever seen one of these! That can't be its only name, surely?
	6:37am grape myst reduction: The common cockchafer, (Melolontha melolontha) colloquially called the Maybug,[1][a] Maybeetle,[3] or doodlebug,[4] is a species of scarab beetle belonging to the genus Melolontha native to Europe. It is one of several closely related and morphologically similar species of Melolontha called cockchafers, alongside Melolontha hippocastani (the forest cockchafer). The adults and larvae feed on plants, and are regarded as serious agricultural pests of crops such as grasses and fruit trees.
	6:42am grape myst reduction: It’s fairly tricky trying to share images of cockchafers with others over social media for casual entomologists.
	6:53am wenzo: Mutt is always the answer
	6:54am wenzo: Good mornin’ radio chatboard denizens
	♥ 6:54am TDK60: Good day Amanda, Jim. It sounds like the broadcast signal on 91.1 FM is off. You know?
	6:56am melinda: Morning everyone
	♥ 6:57am Strandlund: Good Morning Animals!! I just lost my appetite for this slimy Danish I have here...
	6:57am persnickety: I get frustrated when uninformed folks get Aussie shepherd dogs … and have no idea how much exercise they need & space they like to utilize & the work they like to accomplish.
	6:59am wenzo: Slug Danish… good band name?
	♥ 7:00am Jim the Poet: Ken is checking out 91.1. Anyone else having issues?
	♥ 7:02am Amanda: ↳ persnickety @6:57 It is definitely frustrating - back in the day it was Dalmatians, then Akitas... I think people in general are more educated about dogs than they used to be.
	7:04am DB in VN: What was the track before the current song? (Slamander drugspyder)
	😼 ♥ 7:04am -жеи: ↳ TDK60 @6:54 TDK , did you maybe mean 90.1 was off? 91.1 appears to be fine
	♥ 7:04am dale: morning. i had a time mowing yesterday trying to mow around the grasshoppers which were in much abundance. ken - 90.1 is loud and clear.
	♥ 7:05am Amanda: ↳ DB in VN @7:04 SUV - Amphibian
	♥ 7:07am john_zilla: good morning!!!! thank you Amanda and Jim for the show
	7:07am DB in VN: Thanks!!! Dig it. Wish I could have a dog in my tiny apartment
	♥ 7:08am TDK60: ↳ -жеи @7:04 Ken: Sorry, was making the coffee. I'm in north Manhattan moving my antenna around. Nothing on 91.1. Could it just me on my end?
	😼 ♥ 7:09am -жеи: ↳ dale @7:04 Thanks Dale
	😼 ♥ 7:10am -жеи: ↳ TDK60 @7:08 Yes it must be on your end. From everything I can see, the 91.1 signal is at full power and has audio and is AOK
	7:14am morphe': Seagulls attack woman for her chips.. Ya gotta eat, right?? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=710105619586898
	♥ 7:15am Snortley: 91.1 is loud and clear here in Brooklyn.
	♥ 7:15am TDK60: Thanks. (I have the internet version: is fine.)
	♥ 7:15am luka: gm animals
	7:16am persnickety: Re dog education / allocation : please remind me of the pros and cons about adopting an AKITA breed. I quote fabct them (Ps: I’m 99% a mutt believer).
	7:17am Cooh John: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and manimals.
	7:17am persnickety: Ooops : I quite fancy the Akita breed. Can one find a good mutt mix for them?
	♥ 7:19am Amanda: ↳ persnickety @7:16 Akitas are for the experienced dog owner only. They need a lot of discipline and are suspicious of strangers--so a poorly trained one is a liability. Pro's are that they can be excellent company to just their immediate family, very loyal, and a good guard dog. And of course you can find a good mutt of literally anything!
	♥ 7:20am Amanda: The Jindo is more sweet tempered than an Akita but looks similar.
	😼 ♥ 7:23am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and all!!!
	♥ 7:24am Strandlund: Hummingbird nectar is cooling...These little guys have been very hungry this year.
	♥ 7:26am TDK60: -> 91.1 back on in north Manhattan. Some NPR station was stepping on it, sounded like.
	♥ 7:26am Andrea C: I have a black and yellow salamander tattoo on the top of my right foot, do I qualify as an amphibian?
	7:29am KWilde: Butterflies and spiders are generally not slimy
	♥ 7:29am dale: wormmy cagney, there.
	7:29am Rob from Maryland: "A punk band from Cape May, New Jersey"??!! I wonder if any members are birders. One can hope!
	♥ 7:29am dday: Strawbs. The Golden Salamander from the Nomadness LP www.youtube.com...
	7:29am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:26 crustaceans do not have spines but exoskeletons ... woodlice are dry but do have that outer shell...
	♥ 7:31am Andrea C: while on the slug topic: the leaf slug or sheep slug is the cutest around. and it photosynthesizes! the only animal known to do that! www.bbc.com...
	♥ 7:31am luka: i’m laffin
	♥ 7:31am dday: Looking for spineless creatures? Look no further than many of those serving in the US Congress
	7:32am Tommy: Tony Burrell- "there's a new Sound",a slimy A-side, B-side-"Fish"
	♥ 7:33am radioronan: Good morning Amanda & Jim & animals with and w/o spines!
	♥ 7:33am dday: ↳ wenzo @6:53 Light of the world, shine on me, Mutt IS the Answer :)
	7:34am P-90: always prefer the higher quality version
	♥ 7:34am dale: watch 'the hoof gp' on youtube. not horses, but guy trims cow hooves and often it's with explosive pockets of pus. never knew poor elsie had such problems.
	♥ 7:35am dale: took me a sec to hear old macdonald. brilliant!
	♥ 7:37am dday: ↳ Song: "Moo Moo" by "Khoren Mouradian" Proving once again, the Universality of music. Well done!
	😼 ♥ 7:37am alanSixº: G’ Morning
	♥ 7:42am StringOFperils: ↳ dday @7:31 I was speaking to someone about horseshoes yesterday; I didn't know that they're made of aluminum now.
	7:43am persnickety: Re slimey: I find the slugs at this time of year on our walkway to garage at night. I often can’t see them well at night - occasionally accidentally step on them. It’s really quite an ordeal to clean the slime off one’s shoe sole (& soul!). I occasionally use rubbing alcohol, & or begrudgingly utilize one of those “eco-wipes”. Then I find the other slugs immediately sniffing and gathering around the carcass or skins of its past pal. - what’s that all about ?!?!
	♥ 7:43am StringOFperils: Srry, dday, that wasn't necessarily meant for you alone....but if you have a horse, maybe that's useful
	7:50am persnickety: Another slime that I have found a Must To Avoid: EEL Skin Slime ! While fishing, one occasionally accidentally will catch an eel, Not recommended to remove it from hook without gloves or fish-mitt. - I took hours to remove the slime from hand. Even with Boraxo. Plus there’s the Smell !
	7:50am Rob from Maryland: I fondly remember "The Horse" from my grade/middle school days when it was a hit on the radio!!
	♥ 7:56am dday: 50 horss have died at horse races since April of this year. One died at the wire in Saratoga in NY last week and had to be eutahnized on the track (owner Bill Parcells) We boarded a horse once. He used to bite my shoulder when I was mucking his stall
	7:57am persnickety: Btw: does anybody know how or where to procure “Boraxo powder” for degrease cleaning or washing hands ?! I’ve looked online - it seems that it’s become quite rare.
	♥ 8:00am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @7:43 Interesting. I had friend that owned a farriers supply shop in Port Jervis,NY (that's a party town) & did horse shooing in Montague,NJ Yes you better know what you are doing :)
	♥ 8:02am dale: multi-poo sounds like you would need a lot of those little bags.
	♥ 8:04am dday: Light of the world, shine on me, Mutt IS the Answer :)
	😼 ♥ 8:05am alanSixº: all the woofmoo dogs came from Waggytail rescue - it’s a fantastic org
	♥ 8:06am dale: ↳ persnickety @7:57 20 mule team was the laundry soap with borax. or boraxo.
	♥ 8:07am dale: fels naptha was good for poison ivy. or at least my mother claimed it to be so.
	♥ 8:10am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Disappearance of Fireflies" by "Dorothy Mosko... It's great that Moskowitz is back. She was in the Sixties psychedelic band, United States of America.
	♥ 8:12am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:10 That tune sounded like part of "Something's Coming" from West Side Story being sung by the guy who fronted The Magic Numbers (Romeo something?)
	8:18am persnickety: I’m referring to “Boraxo Hand Soap” - the canister of granulated hand soap powder. Not the Borax Laundry detergent (which is easily found!)
	♥ 8:19am luka: ↳ Song: "Radical Rodent" by "The Capybaras" this may be one of the most Bad Animals songs of all time
	8:20am morphe': ↳ dday @7:31 Touche' dday !!! "dday: Looking for spineless creatures? Look no further than many of those serving in the US Congress
	♥ 8:21am Amanda: ↳ luka @8:19 I thought so too!
	♥ 8:21am Strandlund: ↳ persnickety @8:18 Is this what you're talking about? www.amazon.com...
	8:22am Listener Robert: ↳ persnickety @7:57 The problem seems to be buying it in home-use amounts rather than, as here, cases full for business or institutional use: www.imperialdade.com...
	♥ 8:23am dale: ↳ persnickety @8:18 it's on amazon and is $$$$$.
	♥ 8:24am luka: ↳ Song: "The Seagulls Are Coming" by "Catherine Joy" they tried to get a cut with her not laughing at the “alka-seltzer” line and gave up after two lost days of recording
	8:24am persnickety: @dale: our family definitely used and thought Fels Naptha was helpful for poison ivy as well. Yet I believe we found more recent info that it’s not that effective. Plus, looked into the ingredients of it - pretty darn “toxic” !? “Dawn liquid” is now the “go-to” de-greaser and ivy oil remover.
	♥ 8:24am dale: lava had that nice grit in it.
	8:24am onthetrain: This song sounds a lot like this Irish song http://irish-song-lyrics.com/Kilkelly-Ireland.shtml
	8:26am SeasideAC: Quack quack!!
	8:28am SeasideAC: Ducks have a dark side!
	♥ 8:30am dale: ↳ Song: "The Seagulls Are Coming" by "Catherine Joy" was in honesdale pa yesterday and seagulls were in the macdonald's parking lot. far from the sea.
	♥ 8:31am dday: ↳ dale @8:24 It's what all of us "grease monkeys" in H.S. used
	8:32am Listener Robert: ↳ persnickety @8:18 Even Dial Professional is trying to push people onto liquid versions, as evidenced here -- www.dialprofessional.com... It's hard getting ANY soap POWDER now. You could try making your own version of Boraxo by microwaving Ivory soap into powder and mixing it with borax, but that'd be very inconvenient.
	♥ 8:35am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "West" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" What a cutie!!
	♥ 8:35am dale: i wonder if there's an animal themed radio show in australia with a kangaroo rescue segment.
	♥ 8:36am dday: ↳ dale @8:30 They like to hang at nearby Lake Wallenpaupack for the fishing
	8:37am morphe': ↳ dale @8:30 "..The gulls seen in the area at this time of year are the ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis)...." https://riverreporter.com/stories/gulls-of-the-delaware,41552
	♥ 8:37am dday: ↳ SeasideAC @8:28 Duckman!
	8:37am Listener Robert: WalMart offers Boraxo in the shaker container, though even at this ridiculous price it's out of stock. Must've been Covid panic buying. www.walmart.com...
	8:38am morphe': ↳ dday @8:36 I was going to earlier mention "Lake Wallenpaupack " but did not know how to spell it ...
	♥ 8:42am dday: ↳ morphe' @8:38 Hee hee. I'm about 20 mins. from there in Shohola Twnsp. I live about 5 mins. from the Delaware River at Barryville,NY and about 15 mins. from the Roebling Bridge at Lacawaken the area we usually go to for eagle watching at the confluence of the two rivers mentioned in the article. The Zane Grey Museum is across the street from a boat launch. Great vantage point
	♥ 8:42am dale: ↳ dday @8:36 friend owns a house on the lake there. i went up with him as he had to check on some things. a tree service was in the area and i ended up helping him load his pickup with maple rounds for his fireplace. lake is nice but that lifestyle of houses on top of houses and everyone zipping around on golf carts isn't my bag.
	8:42am Listener Robert: At these prices the only buyers I could see are businesses that are stuck with a lot of soap powder dispensers in their washrooms -- advancedsafetysupply.com...
	♥ 8:44am dale: ↳ morphe' @8:37 yup, had those black tipped wings.
	♥ 8:44am dday: ↳ dale @8:42 I hear ya. I live on a little private rd. (we homeowners own it) with 9 homes on it. only two open lots exist and I don't think either perked, so it can't get much more crowded. Nice & quiet (Usually)
	😼 ♥ 8:45am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Amanda & Jim and critters.
	😼 ♥ 8:45am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Song: "Infinite Cow" by "Forest for the Trees" my friend has that album, the whole thing is wild
	8:46am Wuthry Guffy: In public having my normalcy ruined with the bleating… it wouldn’t have lasted long. But now I gotta explain how animal noises are part of the experience and excellent radio.
	8:46am persnickety: @ dale / listener robert / Strandlund : super thanks For your assistance today with heavy duty grease cutting granulated hand soaps ! - now I have some resources - albeit in industrial quantities. Funny - one seems to be outta Jersey City. (& the other Stamford Ct) !? Familiar places. - wish I could just still purchase several of the Bon Ami sized small canisters.
	♥ 8:48am Amanda: ↳ Wuthry Guffy @8:46 Hey, either they get it or they don't. :-)
	8:51am Listener Robert: A cheaper Walmart listing, but also out of stock -- www.buybizsupplies.com... You got me going, persnickety. Looks like a manufacturing headache, since unlike ordinary soap powder with alkali, it can't be spray-dried, but must have the borax crystals MIXED IN with soap powder. How that product stays uniform, I can't guess. Like the problem of the raisins in the box of raisin bran cereal.
	♥ 8:51am Asheville Jon: they sound dismayed
	♥ 8:52am luka: classic episode, thank u. enjoy the weekend everyone.
	8:52am morphe': Forlorn and woeful ... they trod back to their hovel....
	8:53am P-90: “baleful, doleful, bereft, forlorn…”
	♥ 8:53am Asheville Jon: any post-shearing pics of that beast?
	♥ 8:54am Andrea C: Thank you Amanda and Jim the Poet for the show. And for playing Purr Elise. Very much appreciated <3 I am flattered and very honored :) GKRGY is pronounced gherkin :)
	♥ 8:54am dday: ↳ Song: "Black Sheep" by "SRC" The much WFMU maligned Peter Frampton was in the last episode of the TV show "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (renamed Black Sheep Squadron) He is an aviation buff & jumped at the chance to appear & noted in his book how difficult it was filming his scenes, but always positive Peter loved the experience.
	♥ 8:54am dale: ↳ persnickety @8:46 i have a gallon jug of orange goop with some grit in it. basically gojo with some orange oil in it. works well. also works great as an antique furniture cleaner when rubbed in with four aught steel wool then wiped off.
	8:55am Glistener MW: 🎥 “it’s an UGLY planet! a BUG planet!”
	8:56am morphe': scroll down to seen the shorn sheep which got named Chris ... https://www.buzzfeed.com/robstott/this-woolly-sheep-got-a-fabulous-makeover-and-it-broke-a-wor
	♥ 8:56am Strandlund: Thanks Amanda, Jim, Kathleen and West. Adopt...Don't shop!!
	♥ 8:56am dday: ↳ dale @8:54 Bar Keepers Friend works well on many tough to clean items & contains no bleach
	♥ 8:57am dale: jennifer slopez....
	8:57am morphe': The realestate folk are calling the area around/below 36th St = Sunset Gardens???
	♥ 8:57am dale: ↳ dday @8:56 have barkeepers friend. great stuff.
	♥ 8:58am TDK60: I think Mama Tried is more part of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, but I'm not sure. Thanks Jim, Amanda.
	8:59am P-90: Thanks as always, lady and gentleman
	9:00am persnickety: ListenerRobert gets the helpful handy gold sticker Star 🌟 award 🥇 today
	9:00am morphe': Thanks A&J&all !!!
	♥ 9:00am dday: ↳ Song: "Animal Farm" by "Sweet Pete" So Kinks like :) That's not a bad thing :)
	♥ 9:00am StringOFperils: Thank you! *somebody adopt West
	♥ 5:36am Andrea C: Hi Amanda and Jim the Poet :) thank you again for playing Purr Elise. I am both flattered and honored to be featured on WFMU!

Listener comments!
	6:03am Andrea C from the app: Good morning Amanda, Jim the Poet, and all animal lovers
	6:06am jeff-m: morning
	♥ 6:09am Amanda: Good morning, beastly and human listeners!
	♥ 6:16am Jim the Poet: Call 347 455 8227 to have Amanda and I give you recommendations on a breed of dog to adopt! Call during the show and leave a message. Phone lines are now open!
	6:16am grape myst reduction: I may enjoy hearing (& studying!) Katydids as Much if not more than crickets and grasshoppers.
	♥ 6:19am Amanda: ↳ grape myst reduction @6:16 It's so hard to choose!
	6:24am Kathleen from JC: Hi animals! Driving to LI to spay and neuter cats!
	♥ 6:29am Jim the Poet: Have a great day spaying!!!
	6:31am Peter from Boonton formerly Dover NJ: Good morning Amanda and Jim the Poet and animal lovers!
	6:33am grape myst reduction: what follows is Not joking around (yet it is humorous)… have y’all ever been lucky enough to see an insect called a “cockchafer” in person. We have only recently been seeing them on our window screens in the middle of night when they are attracted to lights (not sure what they feed on, seems like they gather around other smaller insects). Wiki has less dramatic photo examples than some other images elsewhere - their antennae look like 🫎 moose antlers!
	♥ 6:36am Amanda: ↳ grape myst reduction @6:33 Don't know if I have ever seen one of these! That can't be its only name, surely?
	6:37am grape myst reduction: The common cockchafer, (Melolontha melolontha) colloquially called the Maybug,[1][a] Maybeetle,[3] or doodlebug,[4] is a species of scarab beetle belonging to the genus Melolontha native to Europe. It is one of several closely related and morphologically similar species of Melolontha called cockchafers, alongside Melolontha hippocastani (the forest cockchafer). The adults and larvae feed on plants, and are regarded as serious agricultural pests of crops such as grasses and fruit trees.
	6:42am grape myst reduction: It’s fairly tricky trying to share images of cockchafers with others over social media for casual entomologists.
	6:53am wenzo: Mutt is always the answer
	6:54am wenzo: Good mornin’ radio chatboard denizens
	♥ 6:54am TDK60: Good day Amanda, Jim. It sounds like the broadcast signal on 91.1 FM is off. You know?
	6:56am melinda: Morning everyone
	♥ 6:57am Strandlund: Good Morning Animals!! I just lost my appetite for this slimy Danish I have here...
	6:57am persnickety: I get frustrated when uninformed folks get Aussie shepherd dogs … and have no idea how much exercise they need & space they like to utilize & the work they like to accomplish.
	6:59am wenzo: Slug Danish… good band name?
	♥ 7:00am Jim the Poet: Ken is checking out 91.1. Anyone else having issues?
	♥ 7:02am Amanda: ↳ persnickety @6:57 It is definitely frustrating - back in the day it was Dalmatians, then Akitas... I think people in general are more educated about dogs than they used to be.
	7:04am DB in VN: What was the track before the current song? (Slamander drugspyder)
	😼 ♥ 7:04am -жеи: ↳ TDK60 @6:54 TDK , did you maybe mean 90.1 was off? 91.1 appears to be fine
	♥ 7:04am dale: morning. i had a time mowing yesterday trying to mow around the grasshoppers which were in much abundance. ken - 90.1 is loud and clear.
	♥ 7:05am Amanda: ↳ DB in VN @7:04 SUV - Amphibian
	♥ 7:07am john_zilla: good morning!!!! thank you Amanda and Jim for the show
	7:07am DB in VN: Thanks!!! Dig it. Wish I could have a dog in my tiny apartment
	♥ 7:08am TDK60: ↳ -жеи @7:04 Ken: Sorry, was making the coffee. I'm in north Manhattan moving my antenna around. Nothing on 91.1. Could it just me on my end?
	😼 ♥ 7:09am -жеи: ↳ dale @7:04 Thanks Dale
	😼 ♥ 7:10am -жеи: ↳ TDK60 @7:08 Yes it must be on your end. From everything I can see, the 91.1 signal is at full power and has audio and is AOK
	7:14am morphe': Seagulls attack woman for her chips.. Ya gotta eat, right?? https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=710105619586898
	♥ 7:15am Snortley: 91.1 is loud and clear here in Brooklyn.
	♥ 7:15am TDK60: Thanks. (I have the internet version: is fine.)
	♥ 7:15am luka: gm animals
	7:16am persnickety: Re dog education / allocation : please remind me of the pros and cons about adopting an AKITA breed. I quote fabct them (Ps: I’m 99% a mutt believer).
	7:17am Cooh John: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and manimals.
	7:17am persnickety: Ooops : I quite fancy the Akita breed. Can one find a good mutt mix for them?
	♥ 7:19am Amanda: ↳ persnickety @7:16 Akitas are for the experienced dog owner only. They need a lot of discipline and are suspicious of strangers--so a poorly trained one is a liability. Pro's are that they can be excellent company to just their immediate family, very loyal, and a good guard dog. And of course you can find a good mutt of literally anything!
	♥ 7:20am Amanda: The Jindo is more sweet tempered than an Akita but looks similar.
	😼 ♥ 7:23am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Amanda, Jim, and all!!!
	♥ 7:24am Strandlund: Hummingbird nectar is cooling...These little guys have been very hungry this year.
	♥ 7:26am TDK60: -> 91.1 back on in north Manhattan. Some NPR station was stepping on it, sounded like.
	♥ 7:26am Andrea C: I have a black and yellow salamander tattoo on the top of my right foot, do I qualify as an amphibian?
	7:29am KWilde: Butterflies and spiders are generally not slimy
	♥ 7:29am dale: wormmy cagney, there.
	7:29am Rob from Maryland: "A punk band from Cape May, New Jersey"??!! I wonder if any members are birders. One can hope!
	♥ 7:29am dday: Strawbs. The Golden Salamander from the Nomadness LP www.youtube.com...
	7:29am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:26 crustaceans do not have spines but exoskeletons ... woodlice are dry but do have that outer shell...
	♥ 7:31am Andrea C: while on the slug topic: the leaf slug or sheep slug is the cutest around. and it photosynthesizes! the only animal known to do that! www.bbc.com...
	♥ 7:31am luka: i’m laffin
	♥ 7:31am dday: Looking for spineless creatures? Look no further than many of those serving in the US Congress
	7:32am Tommy: Tony Burrell- "there's a new Sound",a slimy A-side, B-side-"Fish"
	♥ 7:33am radioronan: Good morning Amanda & Jim & animals with and w/o spines!
	♥ 7:33am dday: ↳ wenzo @6:53 Light of the world, shine on me, Mutt IS the Answer :)
	7:34am P-90: always prefer the higher quality version
	♥ 7:34am dale: watch 'the hoof gp' on youtube. not horses, but guy trims cow hooves and often it's with explosive pockets of pus. never knew poor elsie had such problems.
	♥ 7:35am dale: took me a sec to hear old macdonald. brilliant!
	♥ 7:37am dday: ↳ Song: "Moo Moo" by "Khoren Mouradian" Proving once again, the Universality of music. Well done!
	😼 ♥ 7:37am alanSixº: G’ Morning
	♥ 7:42am StringOFperils: ↳ dday @7:31 I was speaking to someone about horseshoes yesterday; I didn't know that they're made of aluminum now.
	7:43am persnickety: Re slimey: I find the slugs at this time of year on our walkway to garage at night. I often can’t see them well at night - occasionally accidentally step on them. It’s really quite an ordeal to clean the slime off one’s shoe sole (& soul!). I occasionally use rubbing alcohol, & or begrudgingly utilize one of those “eco-wipes”. Then I find the other slugs immediately sniffing and gathering around the carcass or skins of its past pal. - what’s that all about ?!?!
	♥ 7:43am StringOFperils: Srry, dday, that wasn't necessarily meant for you alone....but if you have a horse, maybe that's useful
	7:50am persnickety: Another slime that I have found a Must To Avoid: EEL Skin Slime ! While fishing, one occasionally accidentally will catch an eel, Not recommended to remove it from hook without gloves or fish-mitt. - I took hours to remove the slime from hand. Even with Boraxo. Plus there’s the Smell !
	7:50am Rob from Maryland: I fondly remember "The Horse" from my grade/middle school days when it was a hit on the radio!!
	♥ 7:56am dday: 50 horss have died at horse races since April of this year. One died at the wire in Saratoga in NY last week and had to be eutahnized on the track (owner Bill Parcells) We boarded a horse once. He used to bite my shoulder when I was mucking his stall
	7:57am persnickety: Btw: does anybody know how or where to procure “Boraxo powder” for degrease cleaning or washing hands ?! I’ve looked online - it seems that it’s become quite rare.
	♥ 8:00am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @7:43 Interesting. I had friend that owned a farriers supply shop in Port Jervis,NY (that's a party town) & did horse shooing in Montague,NJ Yes you better know what you are doing :)
	♥ 8:02am dale: multi-poo sounds like you would need a lot of those little bags.
	♥ 8:04am dday: Light of the world, shine on me, Mutt IS the Answer :)
	😼 ♥ 8:05am alanSixº: all the woofmoo dogs came from Waggytail rescue - it’s a fantastic org
	♥ 8:06am dale: ↳ persnickety @7:57 20 mule team was the laundry soap with borax. or boraxo.
	♥ 8:07am dale: fels naptha was good for poison ivy. or at least my mother claimed it to be so.
	♥ 8:10am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Disappearance of Fireflies" by "Dorothy Mosko... It's great that Moskowitz is back. She was in the Sixties psychedelic band, United States of America.
	♥ 8:12am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:10 That tune sounded like part of "Something's Coming" from West Side Story being sung by the guy who fronted The Magic Numbers (Romeo something?)
	8:18am persnickety: I’m referring to “Boraxo Hand Soap” - the canister of granulated hand soap powder. Not the Borax Laundry detergent (which is easily found!)
	♥ 8:19am luka: ↳ Song: "Radical Rodent" by "The Capybaras" this may be one of the most Bad Animals songs of all time
	8:20am morphe': ↳ dday @7:31 Touche' dday !!! "dday: Looking for spineless creatures? Look no further than many of those serving in the US Congress
	♥ 8:21am Amanda: ↳ luka @8:19 I thought so too!
	♥ 8:21am Strandlund: ↳ persnickety @8:18 Is this what you're talking about? www.amazon.com...
	8:22am Listener Robert: ↳ persnickety @7:57 The problem seems to be buying it in home-use amounts rather than, as here, cases full for business or institutional use: www.imperialdade.com...
	♥ 8:23am dale: ↳ persnickety @8:18 it's on amazon and is $$$$$.
	♥ 8:24am luka: ↳ Song: "The Seagulls Are Coming" by "Catherine Joy" they tried to get a cut with her not laughing at the “alka-seltzer” line and gave up after two lost days of recording
	8:24am persnickety: @dale: our family definitely used and thought Fels Naptha was helpful for poison ivy as well. Yet I believe we found more recent info that it’s not that effective. Plus, looked into the ingredients of it - pretty darn “toxic” !? “Dawn liquid” is now the “go-to” de-greaser and ivy oil remover.
	♥ 8:24am dale: lava had that nice grit in it.
	8:24am onthetrain: This song sounds a lot like this Irish song http://irish-song-lyrics.com/Kilkelly-Ireland.shtml
	8:26am SeasideAC: Quack quack!!
	8:28am SeasideAC: Ducks have a dark side!
	♥ 8:30am dale: ↳ Song: "The Seagulls Are Coming" by "Catherine Joy" was in honesdale pa yesterday and seagulls were in the macdonald's parking lot. far from the sea.
	♥ 8:31am dday: ↳ dale @8:24 It's what all of us "grease monkeys" in H.S. used
	8:32am Listener Robert: ↳ persnickety @8:18 Even Dial Professional is trying to push people onto liquid versions, as evidenced here -- www.dialprofessional.com... It's hard getting ANY soap POWDER now. You could try making your own version of Boraxo by microwaving Ivory soap into powder and mixing it with borax, but that'd be very inconvenient.
	♥ 8:35am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "West" by "Kitty Korner with Kathleen O’Malley" What a cutie!!
	♥ 8:35am dale: i wonder if there's an animal themed radio show in australia with a kangaroo rescue segment.
	♥ 8:36am dday: ↳ dale @8:30 They like to hang at nearby Lake Wallenpaupack for the fishing
	8:37am morphe': ↳ dale @8:30 "..The gulls seen in the area at this time of year are the ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis)...." https://riverreporter.com/stories/gulls-of-the-delaware,41552
	♥ 8:37am dday: ↳ SeasideAC @8:28 Duckman!
	8:37am Listener Robert: WalMart offers Boraxo in the shaker container, though even at this ridiculous price it's out of stock. Must've been Covid panic buying. www.walmart.com...
	8:38am morphe': ↳ dday @8:36 I was going to earlier mention "Lake Wallenpaupack " but did not know how to spell it ...
	♥ 8:42am dday: ↳ morphe' @8:38 Hee hee. I'm about 20 mins. from there in Shohola Twnsp. I live about 5 mins. from the Delaware River at Barryville,NY and about 15 mins. from the Roebling Bridge at Lacawaken the area we usually go to for eagle watching at the confluence of the two rivers mentioned in the article. The Zane Grey Museum is across the street from a boat launch. Great vantage point
	♥ 8:42am dale: ↳ dday @8:36 friend owns a house on the lake there. i went up with him as he had to check on some things. a tree service was in the area and i ended up helping him load his pickup with maple rounds for his fireplace. lake is nice but that lifestyle of houses on top of houses and everyone zipping around on golf carts isn't my bag.
	8:42am Listener Robert: At these prices the only buyers I could see are businesses that are stuck with a lot of soap powder dispensers in their washrooms -- advancedsafetysupply.com...
	♥ 8:44am dale: ↳ morphe' @8:37 yup, had those black tipped wings.
	♥ 8:44am dday: ↳ dale @8:42 I hear ya. I live on a little private rd. (we homeowners own it) with 9 homes on it. only two open lots exist and I don't think either perked, so it can't get much more crowded. Nice & quiet (Usually)
	😼 ♥ 8:45am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Amanda & Jim and critters.
	😼 ♥ 8:45am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ Song: "Infinite Cow" by "Forest for the Trees" my friend has that album, the whole thing is wild
	8:46am Wuthry Guffy: In public having my normalcy ruined with the bleating… it wouldn’t have lasted long. But now I gotta explain how animal noises are part of the experience and excellent radio.
	8:46am persnickety: @ dale / listener robert / Strandlund : super thanks For your assistance today with heavy duty grease cutting granulated hand soaps ! - now I have some resources - albeit in industrial quantities. Funny - one seems to be outta Jersey City. (& the other Stamford Ct) !? Familiar places. - wish I could just still purchase several of the Bon Ami sized small canisters.
	♥ 8:48am Amanda: ↳ Wuthry Guffy @8:46 Hey, either they get it or they don't. :-)
	8:51am Listener Robert: A cheaper Walmart listing, but also out of stock -- www.buybizsupplies.com... You got me going, persnickety. Looks like a manufacturing headache, since unlike ordinary soap powder with alkali, it can't be spray-dried, but must have the borax crystals MIXED IN with soap powder. How that product stays uniform, I can't guess. Like the problem of the raisins in the box of raisin bran cereal.
	♥ 8:51am Asheville Jon: they sound dismayed
	♥ 8:52am luka: classic episode, thank u. enjoy the weekend everyone.
	8:52am morphe': Forlorn and woeful ... they trod back to their hovel....

	♥ 8:54am dday: ↳ Song: "Black Sheep" by "SRC" The much WFMU maligned Peter Frampton was in the last episode of the TV show "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (renamed Black Sheep Squadron) He is an aviation buff & jumped at the chance to appear & noted in his book how difficult it was filming his scenes, but always positive Peter loved the experience.
	♥ 8:54am dale: ↳ persnickety @8:46 i have a gallon jug of orange goop with some grit in it. basically gojo with some orange oil in it. works well. also works great as an antique furniture cleaner when rubbed in with four aught steel wool then wiped off.
	8:55am Glistener MW: 🎥 “it’s an UGLY planet! a BUG planet!”
