I want more of those surreal "theory of everything" podcasts you did years ago ... like the series where you talk with the guy from DC who keeps claiming wild conspiracy related parties he's been to.

Chilly morn e'ryone! Love the femme fatale theme of the movie posters. Too bad the artwork for the "teeth" poster doesn't match the motif!
Mon. 12/8/08 10:04am
From:

I just wonder if the economic shite we're having is going to shake up things enough to bring back small, local shops, or kill off everything but online shops, or just solidify the position of the big box stores.

Is anyone else hearing a high-pitched buzz on the FM signal lately? Not on the webcast, just on FM. I mainly hear it when using headphones, but not on other statinos, just FMU, so I don't think it's that particular Walkman.
DC Pat, to answer your question: sales at Walmart are up.
Mon. 12/8/08 10:28am

oh, pat. i pray for the first and a return to really local economy.. no avocadoes in winter... seasonal fare only... hard choices, but safe and economically austere..

From:
Ike
This show is amazing!
Annie, don't get me started on avocados. Why so expensive? Is there still U.S. avocado farmer protectionism driving up the cost? If so, then why? Shouldn't NAFTA put a stop to that? If not then why do we get stuck with the drawbacks of these trade agreements, but none of the benefits? And sure, as long as we aren't using renewable energy, we should return to a local economy with seasonal fare. But ideally we'd have 100% solar-powered trucks bringing us 35-cent avocados from Mexico in the winter.

earlier this spring, we went through a very bad "organic" avocado spurt of fruits that went bad and black within 48 hours of delivery.. threw out four cases of avoes and then stopped buying them. they cost about a dollar and most of them are grown in mexico..

If you live near any of the asian market chains, vegetables are unbelievably cheap there. Including cheap avocados, and bags or basil for only a buck fifty.

I lived in a Chicago neighborhood and got my veggies really cheap. No such luck here in D.C. I wouldn't mind, but I have bad luck choosing quality avocadoes.
Mon. 12/8/08 10:58am
From:
annie
word doug, many people actually drive to albany to shop the asian markets and ethnic stores. the delivery systems are so much more efficient .. have to admit it, food is cheaper in big cities, but at what cost to the environment in the long run..?

Yeah the Asian markets have really cheap fruits and veggies but sometimes the quality is low. Particularly the tasteless cardboard Chinese garlic. I want good strong local garlic for less than $4 or $5/lb. Some farmers in Union Square want $10/lb! Eek!
Stingy, I can't understand a thing you're saying. Are you on Klonopin RIGHT NOW? That would explain the illegible posts. Or did you simply never pay attention in English class?
Mon. 12/8/08 11:36am

He tempted them with ripe tracks!
He hit them hard with mesmerizing negativity WITHOUT SHAME!
Helpless listerns couldn't deny the attraction...couldn't resist the DJ stalking the daytime danger-zone...a man whose true mistress was an untamed muscal appetite, a guy who carnked up the heat on the coldest days with free-form lawlessness!
...Tearing away the prim dress of drab playlists, determined to leave nothing out of his wide-open conceptual embrace!
...Driven in his unbridled pursuit of a theory, andt this was a theory of....EVERYTHING!!!
This was " _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !"

So have you ever wanted to try to make your facebook page unique? It's pretty hard considering you can't change colours of your background or text. I decided to do some research and see if I could add some cool pictures or something to make my profile stand out,than I came across a site www.hypster.com that let you make a free account and add music players to your facebook page! not only that but you can change the colours to! so not only will your new facebook profile be playing one of your favourite songs but it will be your favourite colour or colours! please take a look! And if you don't have facebook, this site's codes also work for myspace, bebo, piczo etc. take a look at www.hypster.com
