Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

My hunch is that Courtney may have a few feelings and choice words about the fundraising marathon and the other deejays on this here radio station, so my hunch is also that Lolabelle will have to have her finger ready on the trigger to bleep out Courtney's foul and unsavory language like last week.

I'm thrilled that the marathon hasn't even started, yet they've already got over $135,000 pledged!

Sorry I'm late, everybody. Looks like we have a full house — er, shanty. On tonight's show: Flip's Big Typo, Sophie's Big Box, Gus's Big Sausage, and Courtney Big Mouth. See you at 6.

Checking in. As soon as Fablio is gone I’ll turn on the radio. I’ll have to guess when he’s gone because my radio is turned off. Perhaps some kind soul here will let me know.

Is the Poutin' Shanty at fire code capacity? Should I saddle up and take myself to the Sulking Shed?
Avatar 5:38pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Fablio has threatened to undermine Courtney's fundraising efforts next week. Says he's going to suck all the money out of the Thursday audience by 6pm. We take this threat seriously. Because one of the things you can be sure of about Fablio's show is that it sucks.

Right now the cut Flabbio has on sounds like when Carl Reiner as a Western bad guy on TV got when he said, "Pianist, gimme a little of that dudludludludludul...."

What if each of us makes a scavenger hunt that leads to buried donation money? I bet Courtney relishes a good challenge!

Do kittens play that just before the outlaw shoots the sheriff after stalking him the whole film?

Laura L:

Lolabelle, why don't you entice Fablio to step out onto Petulant Porch and Courtney can lock him up out there for the duration of the marathon!

A bit of honey pot chicanery, eh?
Avatar 5:58pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Ever notice how often Fablio closes his show with a dinky little 60s pop song to prove to the kids he's "with it"?
Avatar 5:58pm
HyperDose:

Absolutely abhorrent behavior. Fablio is no chameleon!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:00pm
ultradamno:

Thinks we in the pouting shed will think he's been playing actual singing of a song is something he's been doing the whole time. An insult!

That commercial originally aired last year during the holiday season. But Gas Station Brand Hot Dogs™ taste great all year round. They were the frankfurter of choice at Yankee Stadium last year. This year they lost the concession.

OK, I'd pay to hear this in the Marathon: Fabio yelling at Courtney, _in Italian_ and then Courtney tries to answer, but Gus Bodenheim interrupts and reads from a book, <A nutty kind of a book.

That was a bowdlerised version of that Formby song. The original, the second[?] verse:

A girl while bathing clung to me and shouted-out 'O!'
She cried 'Good sir I‘m drowning, but you‘ll save me, I know.'
I said 'Well if you‘re drowning, would you mind letting go…'
'…of my little piece of Blackpool Rock!'
