Annie: Thanks for thinking of me, but I gave most of mine to the station a couple of years ago. Saw a couple of my old 45s on their Ebay auction page. Was quietly proud.

Mon. 12/1/08 9:33am
From:
Parq
Wait -- you mean they're *not* buying crap from FMU's store?
Mon. 12/1/08 9:34am
From:
Bad Ronald
Morning folks. I find these pix disturbingly antiseptic. No doubt they're ordering up something sordid and dirty!
Mon. 12/1/08 9:42am
From:
bw
I agree BR - WHY are they all smiling?
Mon. 12/1/08 9:46am
From:
detroitdave
They all got an email stating they won a shopping spree....simply enter your credit card info so that we may properly ID you and sit back and collect your prize!

It's Cyber Monday!
Mon. 12/1/08 9:49am

Mon. 12/1/08 9:55am
From:
Nick the Bard
Cyber Monday's been around since at least 2005 that I can remember. Defintly was there last year.
JW Faquahar girl is buying a new pair of legs, 'cause she lost her's in 'Nam.
Mon. 12/1/08 9:56am
From:
bw
thanks Nick the Bard - I hear you are gonna be our Santa!
Mon. 12/1/08 10:00am

The popsex girl looks like she knows something. And I don't *wanna* know what that family is gazing at.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:04am
From:

They are all smiling because they found your credit card on the street and look, it STILL works!
Mon. 12/1/08 10:04am
From:
Nick the Bard
Yup, and I think the real question is, is the world ready for Santa Bard?
Mon. 12/1/08 10:12am

For those in the U.S.A.: Happy post Thanksgiving Monday to all.
For Those Elsewhere: Happy Regular Monday.

Is anyone else having a problem with the 128K feed? I can only stream at 32K today.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:18am
From:
stringy d
probably not. world's focus did some serious shifting after the olympics. my guess is they just have not touched anythign since october.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:19am
From:
GP
Speaking of time zones...the best idea yet I have heard from Obama is that he wants to do away with Daylight Savings Time. Is this true or just a rumor?
Mon. 12/1/08 10:20am
From:
annie
doug, sorry to say i have a good stream here. GP_ i would so totally go for that DST thing..i hate that cold war fear-based crap
Mon. 12/1/08 10:21am
From:
dc pat
god, that would be nice. What an anachronistic pain in the ass.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:22am
From:
stingy d
i hate dst! you don't suppose he push the metric system on us do ya? i would love that too oddly enough. god save the queen and all... but feet and inches is too goofy
Mon. 12/1/08 10:23am
From:
annie
and driving through the states that do not observe it will be easier .. not that time really exists anyway.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:23am
From:
fishmonkeystew
I'm waiting for the pics of people looking at the credit card bills......
Mon. 12/1/08 10:24am
From:
Parq
I respectfully dissent. If anything, I would like to see them do away with standard time and make DST permanent. I dunno about you, but I think the world is a depressing place when it gets dark at 4:40.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:25am
From:
GP
LOL FMS..and whats up with all the dudes wearing sweaters (jumpers for those in the UK)? I
Mon. 12/1/08 10:25am
From:

couple shopping!
Mon. 12/1/08 10:26am
From:
stingy d
i think when you go to work should be less important as the amount of time you put in.
fuck a dayligth saving time!
Mon. 12/1/08 10:26am
From:
GP
OH crap..bedhead and white -t...there goes my theory..although.... he might be buying a sweater.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:29am
From:
dc pat
I'm with annie--just do away with time completely...like John of Leyden tried to do.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:30am
From:
Ike
It's still Monday in Beijing -- It's only 11:30 p.m. there. But it's Tuesday in Tokyo and Vladivostok, Russia.
I agree with Parq. DST all year! More light in the afternoon!
No time, no public transportation. No dice. Need trains.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:31am
From:
annie
yeah, i think it only exacerbates the pressure upon us to perform according to the body politic and society in general. get there when you get there and leave when you work is done.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:32am
From:
scrounging d
getting rid of time would rid me of my CPD. so that would be cool.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:32am
From:
GP
10-4 Parq..pick one time or another, but switching back and forth during the year is idiocy. I also like more light in the afternoon...allows me to get more stuff done after work.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:32am
From:
caroline
phew, that song was driving my cat insane
Mon. 12/1/08 10:32am
From:
dc pat
Ike: Nonsense, you're stuck in a time-all-the-time mindset. You just catch a train when it comes since you don't have to be to work at any given time.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:33am
From:
annie
and like in doctor seuss, we could walk around with either "i observe time constraints" to " i am time-free" labels..
Mon. 12/1/08 10:35am
From:
annie
and when you feel the urge to change you flip the sign; making time self-inflicted
Mon. 12/1/08 10:36am

i watched the zohan movie and tropic thunder - two unrelenting wastes of "time"

From:
Ken From Hyde Park
Last night for me, the 128k feed went haywire during Professor Dum Dum's show. It'd play 15 seconds of material, then time out. A few seconds later, it'd play the same 15 seconds of material again. At the time, I assumed it was playing the song that way on purpose. This morning, I wasn't getting the 128k feed at all. Using Winamp player under Win/XP.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:37am
From:

there would be societies of people secretly attempting to keep time on old watches

I Love John Prine! Great tune, thanks BW.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:41am
From:
stingy d
you can download it on some website in pdf... i remember you posted some of the pages a while back... you read 10,000 pages in 16 "hours" or something
Mon. 12/1/08 10:41am
From:
GP
Thanks Benjamin for the John Prine
Annie...I like that..."I am Time Free"..wearing that label starting now...don' know about boss reaction.
Saw "Bolt" over the weekend
and also watched "Reign of FIre" which is some crazy Matthew McConaughey where he is a modern day dragon hunter. Rest was pretty much college football
Mon. 12/1/08 10:41am

Mon. 12/1/08 10:48am

10-4, D, on biopics, but I make an exception for Tim Burton's Ed Wood movie.
Mon. 12/1/08 10:49am

gotta say this isn't that bad. But I sure love biopics..
Mon. 12/1/08 10:50am
