Will there be more Emo Phillips singing Black Sabbath?
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:04pm gumby:

Ignition trumpet on. check
We have Leeft-Off.
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:08pm Sean Daily:

Wait a minute... O'Brien to Ryan to Goldberg... that's a TRIPLLE play... unless O'Brien is a shortstop or outfielder and starts the play... I'm confused.

Emo Phillips...

Really?
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:29pm gumby:

I concur with Joe Pernice!
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:36pm Clark Barr:

Emo Phillips???????
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:40pm victoria:

Irvin thanks for making my dull day, less-dull
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:41pm gumby:

Stand by yer...........................................................................................................................................man!
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:43pm Sean Daily:

(insert bitingly insightful comment here)
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:46pm gumby:

Very un-rootsie, even electric ST & BM.
Thanks, never experienced that before.
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:47pm Emo Phillps:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative, Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

A black man walks into a restaurant and sits down.
The waitress says, &#8220;We don't serve colored people.&#8221;
So, the black man says, &#8220;That's Ok I want the chicken.&#8221;
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:53pm gumby:

What did zero say to eight?
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:55pm Elliot:

This Stewart Copeland album is an old favorite from my youth. I swear I named that tune in 4 bird-calls...

There's some excellent tracks (that don't sound like they're off his "Equalizer" album). Where did I put my cassette tape player?
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:56pm Sean Daily:

I don't know, Gumby! Just exactly WHAT did zero say to eight?
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:57pm gumby:

Nice Belt!
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:58pm Sean Daily:

A rabbi, a priest and a Baptist minister walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:59pm barney:

I like that emo phillips bit even more with the "why the long face" intro.
  Wed. 8/27/08 3:59pm gumby:

The Rhythmatists with Stewart Copeland was probably my first foray into world type music. The Royal Drummers of Ghana opened & kicked absolute ass!!!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:05pm Sean Daily:

Irwin's gonna outlive the Old Codger? Is that even possible?
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:11pm dei xhrist:

I know I've seen that "obscure Japanese monster movie" within the past two years... Now I have to wrack my brain for the title.
...why are elephants big, grey, and wrinkled?
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:13pm gumby:

Gamara! Gamara!!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:14pm ?:

a horse walks into a bar and the bartender says..
Sara Jessica Parker?
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:17pm AnAnonymousParty:

Gamera?
Gamera vs Barugon, Gaos, Guiron or Zigra?

Oh no, we got Movie Sign!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:17pm Sean Daily:

The Space Riders absolutely RAWK.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:19pm gumby:

I'd give anything for an Ann Lever song right about now.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:20pm Sean Daily:

Anyway, Dei Xhrist, why ARE elephants big, grey, and wrinkled? Inquiring minds want to know.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:21pm AnAnonymousPary:

Ann Lever, I'd welcome Y. Bhekhirst.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:21pm gumby:

Guiron???
Wasn't that the sword headed blue one on the two women planet.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:22pm AnAnonymousParty:

Guiron, a.k.a "Mack the Knife".
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:23pm dei x:

... because if they were small, white and round... they'd be aspirin. And I think the movie had something to do with very upsetting mushroom costumes with a Gilligan's Island premise.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:25pm Sean Daily:

I personally like the Godzilla movie with the 900 foot-tall leprechaun: "Godzilla vs. Begorrah".
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:25pm AnAnonymousParty:

"something to do with very upsetting mushroom costumes with a Gilligan's Island premise" ... well that certainly narrows it down.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:28pm dei x:

OK, um, it was black and white... and the guys wore suits? (note: don't chose me for your Trivial Pursuit team)
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:30pm gumby:

Japanese Sci-Fi movies never go bad. The cinematic equivalent of government cheese.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:30pm Joe Bacon:

Oh, Son of Godzilla is one of my guilty pleasures, ESPECIALLY when Daddy is teaching his son to do the fire breathing shtick and the kid cries when he can only blow smoke rings
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:33pm AnAnonymousParty:

I feel an MST3K marathon (season 3) coming on . . .
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:34pm dei x:

nevermind, just looked it up and I'm thinking of a different film. But does bring to mind Yokai Monsters, with the very odd umbrella monster.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:34pm Sean Daily:

The Godzilla movie with MC 900 Foot Jesus is pretty good, too: "Jesus! Use Giant Jesus Punch!"
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:36pm Clark Barr:

The iTunes store has all the episodes of Johnny Sokko and his Giant Robot! Even cheesier than Speed Racer!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:37pm dei x:

No, it's War Of The Gargantuans! Ah sad day when I have to correct Irwin!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:47pm Dead Corporate Eyes:

Paul sounds so sad--I didn't even recognize him.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:49pm Bad Ronald:

He is singing about his demise.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:49pm SF Spike:

War of the Gargantuas, actually! The best part of that movie is the musical number. According to Wikipedia: A song from the film, Feel in My Heart (often misquoted as being The Words Get Stuck In My Throat) was adapted by the band Devo, sung at concerts by the character of Booji Boy.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:52pm Bad Ronald:

Digging the Andy P track, thanks!
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:57pm listener jon:

I traveled internationally with my wife for 7 months and this song came up on the ipod all the time. I confessed to her this was my favorite song in the world. It was then she learned I'm nuts.
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:58pm Laura:

You are the Mr. Snuggles of radio deejays! Thank you! Oooh you feel so good to me--or is she saying Eugh you feel so good to me?
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:59pm tom:

i get the feeling snuggles is a cat
  Wed. 8/27/08 4:59pm Joe Bacon:

Hey, How about Candy Pants?????
  Wed. 8/27/08 5:01pm Laura:

Or how about "NO PANTYHOSE!" You know the one--
  Wed. 8/27/08 5:21pm pete in LA:

re: bob weir

  Wed. 8/27/08 5:52pm Tom:
