A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

CheriPi:
A dollar a day is so easy if you are regularly employed, if I knew it was this easy I'd have done the mouse pledge years ago. Mouse pledger for life! Or more if I marry rich. | |

I like West End Girls | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 10:54am
Carmichael:
Minn Jeff, you have crazy good luck, and Tahoe is the gambling mecca of the West. We could get rich together, my friend. Filthy, deliciously rich. Forbes list rich. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 10:55am
minnesota jeff:
You consider Lake Tahoe to be more of a western gambling mecca than Las Vegas? | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 10:55am
Cecile:
Sigh. I won my one and only on-air premium on Monday. After four years of pledging. But to be fair, I won the last two Billy Jam contests, so it's all good. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 10:56am
texas scott:

happy pledger:
all the "regulars" that live here on the listener comments have mysteriously disappeared during marathon - shameful!! some of you post on here constantly... do we need to start mentioning names?????? | |

As part of your 'america' prize theme, you might want to note that the title sequence song on American Fabulous is by American Music Club. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:04am
Cecile:
I always think tallies work very well. How far are you off your goal, ladies? | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:06am
minnesota jeff:
Tallies, challanges, and the occasional threat of crummy music being played tends to work for my listening experience. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:07am
Gordon:
Thanks for sloppin and droppin Jeani Mack's Dirty Dishes. As a tyke in the late 60s, I inherited a box of 45s from my teenage aunt and uncle. Dirty Dishes on the Class label was one of them. Played the thing to shreds. Today was the first I've heard it in years without nasty skips and scratchophonics. | |

hey just made a pledge (in honor of Chad) - i love you ladies - both of your shows make my week something to look forward to. Thanks. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:14am
Carmichael:
Ken threatens his listeners with awful music until they comply. Even though you both are ever so nice, you should consider this option. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:16am
minnesota jeff:
Perhaps we can try and pledge Liz into a pair a Peanut Butter filled underwear like Ken did to Andy last night on Seven Second delay. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:16am

Lefse is great rolled up with butter and sugar. | |

I set a reminder for myself to call Andys number a month from now. I bet he gets rid of the number, but we will see. | |

north guinea hills:
wish i was smart enough to spread my mouse + pledge over $15 increments (divides total by 15), darn it! (although, it would be hard to keep on pledging every few hours at work...) | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:20am
Carmichael:
@Cecile: what's "Lefse"? | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:24am
Cecile:
a record label and a kind of soft Scandinavian flatbread. | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:25am
minnesota jeff:
NGH - It doesn't take that long to do a pledge. I take longer because I have a name and adress that I need to spell each time. Damn german name, damn Native American named town!! | |
|
Thu. 3/11/10 11:26am
Carmichael:
Thanks. I'll bet it tastes and sounds great! | |
|

Danne D:
Jeff is SO on message. WFMU makes it easy to pledge. Like prize mongering? You can get a prize account pre-marathon. Like to be a big cheese and go for a big time prize? Dump a big pledge on a show and get a chance at a super prize. Prefer giving year 'round in a painless way - you can be charged $10 or more a month and do it that way. Want to give your life to FMU without losing out a swag? Get a swag for life account. Want to pledge now and get a bill later? You can do that too! It's all good and it all helps FMU stick around giving you the good sounds you need to get you through your week! | |
|

wow, this sounds kind of like the theme to "Cutie Honey" | |

I pledged a mouser, yesterday. One pledge, one form, many shows.. all the ones I listen to.. this one included. Slice and dice the totals as you will, o bean counters. | |

Luciano:
Oh, my... Françoise Hardy :D Il pretesto! I hate falseness, don't try finding excuses if you won't come to our date... I know paper castles fall down in a blow, it's not your fault... give me your handkerchief when you wish our story to end :) | |

ever see that Young Ones where the boys are crafting a letter to get a loan from the bank? They come up with "Dear Fascist Bullyboy Give me more money. You bastard." I keep thinking of that during the marathong. | |
