Tue. 3/6/12 7:03pm Bronwyn C.:

FIRST!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:04pm Dan B From Upstate:

I hereby officially hand over the thunk tank naming rights to Kat. Kat, please enjoy being name checked for the next year!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:05pm Kat in Chicago:

Thank you Dan B! So proud to be the Thunk Tank's adoptive parent.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:06pm Kat in Chicago:

Hey, did Jay get adopted? Or was his man-musk simply too overwhelming?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:08pm Bronwyn C.:

Alas! He did not. Probably because he got put into the hopper too late. Wait 'til next year!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:10pm Ike:

We all think that Jay is making all of this up. Does not sound real.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:12pm Mike East:

I adopted a garbage can...and actually got to use it last week.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:13pm Dan B From Upstate:

I'm guessing at some point Bronwyn will call in, talk for a half hour and not sound at all like Bronwyn.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:13pm Listener John from NJ who lives in NJ:

Sounds like Jay has attempted a coup and is drunk with power . . . Bronwyn, we need a counter-coup, NOW!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:15pm Kat in Chicago:

Dan B, I have similar suspicions.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:19pm Kat in Chicago:

Sorry about your head cold, Bronwyn! :(

Tue. 3/6/12 7:21pm sugarwolf:

I am happy you are so happy that I have adopted you, Bronwyn!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:21pm sugarwolf:

I am kind of dying that you are talking about my rack on the air.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:23pm Bronwyn C.:

Yay! Thanks, Listener ... um ... sugarwolf!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:23pm Fredericks:

Buckminster "Bucky" Fuller's balls?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm Dan B From Upstate:

Is Aziz Ansari doing a PSA?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm Kat in Chicago:

We can hear it!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm aq:

it's coming through here

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm Ike:

I heard it.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm Bronwyn C.:

But you're GORGEOUS!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:24pm Cliff:

I can hear it on the online stream.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:25pm Dan B From Upstate:

My parents are in their 60s. Why would they care if I swallowed a magnet?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:26pm sugarwolf:

sugarwolf is my nom de message board.

I am dying of laughter & I appreciate the compliments.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:27pm Mark T in VT:

Farmers feed magnets to cows. They work out all the metal stuff they tend to eat.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:27pm Kat in Chicago:

it sounds from the PSA like kids are using the magnets to fake nose & tongue piercings - maybe they're getting swallowed and inhaled?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:29pm Cliff:

I saw an episode of Dirty Jobs where they had this cow with a window in its side so they could see its food as it was being digested. They could even open the window and reach into the cow's stomach and take out samples and stuff.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:32pm Dan B From Upstate:

It'll be 2 years in June.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:33pm Curator Dave:

Thunk tank forever!!!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:39pm Ike:

Yes it was widely believed that the Nets owner had a backroom deal to agree to lose to Putin. There's a recent New Yorker article on it.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:39pm Mark T in VT:

Maybe Putin has an evil secret crocodile farm reserved for evil purposes and when one of the crocks dies or gets sick he thinks of this and then can produce on the spot tears as in the acting profession trick.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:40pm aq:

@say wha?: Jay had forgotten to factor in the existence of telephones

Tue. 3/6/12 7:42pm Caryn:

About the GOP candidates: I think Romney tried to be a manly man, when he said: "I've always been a rodent and rabbit hunter. Small varmints, if you will." Of course, those are not exactly big game. And the use of "varmints" makes him seem like Yosemite Sam. But still...

Tue. 3/6/12 7:45pm Caryn:

But the discussion of whether the Putin tear was fake makes me think of my favourite fake Russian footage, from when the Russians tried to prove their hold on the Arctic area by showing "footage of their minisubs under the arctic ice, about to plant the Russian flag". Which the media all accepted, until a DiCaprio-obsessed tween saw it on the news and went: "Hey, that's from Titanic!"

Tue. 3/6/12 7:45pm frank from new york:

Double speak

Tue. 3/6/12 7:47pm Ike:

What was that about racks? I totally missed that. Can we talk about that some more?

Tue. 3/6/12 7:48pm Kat in Chicago:

You're going to see the letter racers! Jealous!

Tue. 3/6/12 7:48pm Kat in Chicago:

There's a great section on Rammelzee in How To Wreck A Nice Beach.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:53pm Jesus:

Did Bronwyn just curse??

Tue. 3/6/12 7:54pm Listener John from NJ who lives in NJ:

Jay is giving out incorrect information again on Thunk Tank: According to the National Archives website, there were 11 candidates for President in the 1788 election. It was a foregone conclusion that Washington would be chosen as President, but the person who received the 2nd highest # of electoral votes would become Vice-President. Each Electoral College person had 2 votes: each gave 1 vote to Washington, and the second vote to one of the others. http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/scores.html#1789

Tue. 3/6/12 7:55pm Listener John from NJ who lives in NJ:

That's why I said "AGAIN."

Tue. 3/6/12 7:58pm Ike:

Come on. There's nowhere near enough detail in Metro.

Tue. 3/6/12 7:59pm Listener John from NJ who lives in NJ:

Feel better, Bronwyn!

Tue. 3/6/12 8:00pm Bronwyn C.:

Thanks, Everybody! See you next week!
