Mon. 12/1/08 9:09am From: bw

gut morgan! Hope you all had a good holiday, it was a looong weekend for me too. Today is the start of online buying so they say.. what are these people buying?

Mon. 12/1/08 9:10am From: annie

cheap shit, amazon is gonna have a heyday and ebay too, busy as hell i bet. glad i am not part of that madness

Mon. 12/1/08 9:13am From: Parq

Maybe there will be a big run on FMU's "Buy Crap from Our Store" pages.

Mon. 12/1/08 9:14am From: bw

thats what I imagine the dude in the papa m comment is buying

Mon. 12/1/08 9:15am From: annie

imagine the amount of man-hours lost as white collar buy shit on comapny time.. surfing at the expense of their bosses.. add to cart madness

Mon. 12/1/08 9:16am From: annie

i just looked at the pictures you posted! ahhhahahaha

Mon. 12/1/08 9:17am From: annie

parq: are you still interested in vinyl?

Mon. 12/1/08 9:21am From: Parq

Ben, appropos what you just said:

http://tinyurl.com/dethgift

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 9:23am From: annie

word up parq.

Mon. 12/1/08 9:27am From: Parq

Benjamin, are these pics all from the same source?

Mon. 12/1/08 9:29am From: bw

all the pics are from the internets.. but what are they buying?? try to guess!

Mon. 12/1/08 9:30am From: annie

telecommunication devices??

Mon. 12/1/08 9:32am From: annie

no wait, i bet they are applying for another credit card!!!

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!

Mon. 12/1/08 9:48am From: randy in NC

It's Cyber Monday!

Mon. 12/1/08 9:49am From: Bad Ronald

Good question BW, not sure...

I think the woman in The Sound Of Lucrecia slot is placing an order for another baby!

Mon. 12/1/08 9:50am From: detroitdave

The Papa M dude is buying kidee pornography fer sure

Mon. 12/1/08 9:50am From: bw

online orphan dot com?

Mon. 12/1/08 9:51am From: annie

ben is there a real answer to this conundrum? are we playing 20 questions?

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 From: Parq

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: GP

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 From: GP

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

Mon. 12/1/08 10:13am From: stringent d

i think its tuesday in beijing?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:14am From: strangely d

but thanks gp, same da you!

Mon. 12/1/08 10:17am From: bw

heya SD
happy Tuesday in Beijing.. I miss Beijing, are they still building?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:17am From: Doug from DC

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: bw

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 From: ugh

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

Mon. 12/1/08 10:36am 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: dc pat

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

Mon. 12/1/08 10:37am From: stingy d

meanwhile (i'm ugh) meanwhile... i had the shogun assassin movie from netflix, and nobody cared (lone wolf and cub)

Mon. 12/1/08 10:38am From: annie

waaay beyond the walls of our protectionist culture of 9-5 and follow the herd..the safety of ritual..

Mon. 12/1/08 10:39am From: bw

I just read the whole lone wolf and cub series last month.. blew my mind.. what an epic

Mon. 12/1/08 10:40am From: dc pat

let's just do away with time on the comments. so...First comment!! Woo Hoo!!

Mon. 12/1/08 10:40am From: Bad Ronald

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 From: bw

I did read a lot of it over a weekend.. but not the whole thing.. its looooong

Mon. 12/1/08 10:43am From: dc pat

First comment! Woo.....ah never mind...

Mon. 12/1/08 10:44am From: stingy d

can you play 'time's up' by o.c.?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:44am From: Andrew

Love the good Doctor.

Mon. 12/1/08 10:45am From: stingy d

or could you play the intro to liquid swords?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:45am From: dc pat

am I a bad American for not liking Dr. John?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:46am From: annie

you could solve the dark early situation by moving closer to the equator.. DCpat-just not a REAL american..

Mon. 12/1/08 10:46am From: fishmonkeystew

Dr. John!! Woo hoo!

I watched "How to Draw a Bunny", a movie about the artist Ray Johnson. Awesome movie, with a coooool soundtrack by Max Roach. Sweeeeet!

Mon. 12/1/08 10:46am From: bw

I didn't like him either.. till my fren Tom made me listen to this song

Mon. 12/1/08 10:47am From: stingy d

you're only a bad american if you enjoy biopics.

Mon. 12/1/08 10:48am From: Parq

10-4, D, on biopics, but I make an exception for Tim Burton's Ed Wood movie.

Mon. 12/1/08 10:49am From: dc pat

gotta say this isn't that bad. But I sure love biopics..

Mon. 12/1/08 10:50am From: stingy d

ed wood came before the formulaic biopic era. and also... i am fairly certain i did not know i could hate someone as much as jamie foxx at that point in time.

Mon. 12/1/08 10:55am From: stingy d

by the way... can someone please hand deliver everything on the soul jazz records imprint to my hands?

Mon. 12/1/08 10:59am From: The Ladies

Oh no you did'nt * Egyptian head bobs and finger waving in your face.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:00am From: Lou

Are these all the same people?

Mon. 12/1/08 11:01am From: Bad Ronald

Hey, is that Michael Rapaport?

Mon. 12/1/08 11:02am From: uncle lonley

michael rappaport is my uncle!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:04am From: Parq

Whoa. The Flower Power kid is a cutie.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:04am From: dc pat

why are things always more funny auf deutsche?

Mon. 12/1/08 11:05am From: annie

pat, that's funny; everytime i hear one of them i think the same thing..

Mon. 12/1/08 11:06am From: dc pat

and that pop tops chick is SCARY!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:07am From: Doug from DC

dc pat, check out: http://www.soundboard.com/sb/German_Cover_Songs.aspx

Mon. 12/1/08 11:11am From: dc pat

dc doug: stop, yer killin' me!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:17am From: Timothy Geithner

I want those last 3 girls to buy me - BUY ME!!! Economic stimuluscious! I'll accommodate your consumer demand!!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:24am From: Parq

The "Sweetness Lies Within" one has that offbeat "babe with brains" look that drives a man so crazy. Jeez, are we a bunch of guys or what?

Mon. 12/1/08 11:26am From: dc pat

yeah, I think we're making some folks uncomfortable. Let's change the subject--just look at the Mac that barberries woman is using!!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:28am From: annie

bought and sold by the images, the sellers win!!!!
typical men? we look, too. only issue i have is the pics are all of attractive fit wealthy people.. images, images..of consumerism.. it's ok DCpat we'll get over it

Mon. 12/1/08 11:28am From: stingy d

i was out out of town for since thursday... and it hurts to come back to ny and realize how you can't go 8 seconds without seeing a gorgeous woman - it's mindboggling... just to be a classic dude and everyhtign

Mon. 12/1/08 11:28am From: bw

thats it with the photos.l. can't believe that one matched up with the song

Mon. 12/1/08 11:29am From: Parq

Yeah, I like the black laptop in the mavi septet girl's lap. Snuggled nice and close and warm in her lap. Uh, wait, let's try that again . . .

Mon. 12/1/08 11:35am From: dc pat

OH SHEEET! I forgot to drink coffee!!! bye.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:40am From: Pajak

Looks like the tykes on the amber alert shoot just stumbled upon daddy's favorite website!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:41am From: Parq

Benjamin, *perfect* closing picture. Trying to imagine what those kids are viewing, our thoughts range all the way from the prurient to the salacious.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:43am From: SueB

that's what you get for accosting a single woman in a parking lot.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:44am From: SueB

looking at the pics - i was NOT smiling as i Cyber-Monday-shopped this morning. those people must be loaded. or rich.

Mon. 12/1/08 11:44am From: bw

it was on the street!

Mon. 12/1/08 11:49am From: SueB

ah, ok. she sounded just as lame as i do when refusing a begging person in Newark. 'uh, i gotta catch this train' "uh, how do they release you without $ to get home?"

Mon. 12/1/08 11:58am From: stingy d

i'm your friend jonathan.
