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.

Glad you are up and runnin'. Hope all is dry in FMU land. I had quite a view Monday night of blue and green lights popping in the sky over New Jersey. Who knew exploding transformers could put on such a show? | |

Jennique, I can only imagine. About 5 yrs ago we saw a squirrel jump into one in out neighborhood. It was quite the light show. | |

Thu. 11/1/12 12:11pm

the aftermath, a night with no power, was a little less entertaining. | |

Hello all, I just raised Trouble's goal I am sorry to say but we are finding so much damage to our equipment today its not even funny and I am scared shitless for the station financially speaking, between the damage and the huge loss of money from the cancelled record fair. So I will be raising goals all over the place. Shit has gotten real. Thanks to all who have given, and if you haven't yet, please please please, as the Godfather off would say. |

You need chicken diapers! Srsly, they exist. But also seriously, I agree with you that chickens belong outdoors only. | |

Maybe, when chickens get startled or scared, they don't pee themselves (like humans may), but pop out an egg? | |
|
Thu. 11/1/12 12:31pm
Cecile:
Maybe they are bored. Maybe you need to have a little chicken agilty course in your yard! | |

They run on a 25 hour cycle. Very squidgy poos. Impossible to ruin 'Lineman'? | |

Alligators were introduced to New York City's subway system in the 1800s to combat the rat problem. The alligators eat the rats and all is well, except that the city regularly needs to pump out the alligator's waste. | |
