Good Wednesday, Amanda and all!!!
Ken is playing a string version of "Germ Free Adolescents" that would fit nicely as a Scenario in-theme.

Hi AmNazz :)
Hi Everyone :)

Hi James, Danne, and all! LJfW, I am assuming that is no accident...

Hello back, Amanda. Good afternoon to you.

Hi Stevel!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:06pm listener james from westwood:

Is there any connection between the Queers and the Muffs? (Other than both being Michael Shelley faves.) Because this would sound delightful as a Muffs cut.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Welcome back, Amanda!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:11pm listener james from westwood:

BTW, Amanda, every time I saw the monorail in Las Vegas last month, I thought of (and often started singing) the Lyle Lanley "Monorail" song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:13pm listener james from westwood:

Working at an historic theater that is plagued with pigeon problems, I may have to play this for our maintenance guys.

I won the esteem of my freshman-year math teacher when, after he idly mused, "We will all go together when we go," I rejoined, "Every Hottentot and every Eskimo." He was flabbergasted.

As of yesterday, all of the snow on or near my yard melted. I cursed the last little patch of wet as it faded away.

Ah, there's the Jolson imitation. Warner Bros. has made that my somewhat unfortunate go-to for this song.

First I'm hearing this delightful cut, but I'd sing along if I knew it!

Good lord this album is 22 years old :/

Elvis' singing would work so much better if his band sounded like Husker Du.

The Captain! Sweet. This song always make me feel like a beatnik.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:45pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Ahh...The smell of Beefheart in the afternoon!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:47pm Stevel:

So weird how Beefheart and Stranglers feel like Spring, but they do.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:52pm pacific standard simon:

Hurley seems more summery.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:54pm pacific standard simon:

Plus, every time you pull it, you get to look at the cover art.

Wallet inspector
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:14pm Jeff Golick:

I came up with a sniglet a while back -- zenvy: achieving a state of perfect envy.

There's probably been a lot of parallel evolution on that one, I suspect.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:14pm listener james from westwood:

Ep probably has the 2nd best callback besides the ambulance gag in the Much Apu ep: The slam cut to the nuclear technicians reappearing after Homer fucks up the experiment in class.
Homer: "In there."
Techs: "Thanks, Homer!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:19pm listener james from westwood:

@Skirkie, I almost choked laughing when I saw "Wallet inspector!" Well done!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:20pm Jeff Golick:

That list of book titles -- ...Son of Sniglet... etc. -- so good. I love that kind of list. Reminds me of one of the Halloween eps with an evil leprechaun, and Bart's pulling various critters out of a hole in the ground:
"...goblin?"
"No."
"Hobgoblin?"
"No."
  1:20pm Josh:

I meant the Cool Dean, dammit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:22pm Amanda:

They do sniglets in the NYT magazine now! They don't call them that, though.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:23pm Jeff Golick:

I think the show Community has some with the "cool dean" trope...either that, or I'm confusing it with some other show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:24pm Jeff Golick:

...some FUN with... egad.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:24pm Jeff Golick:

I hate that page of the NYT mag. The one-page mag.? It should be on the Meh List every week.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:27pm Amanda:

Agreed, Jeff -- calling things "meh" is meh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:28pm Amanda:

Hi UM and nanantatee! Glad you liked the Hurley. @Skirkie -- Wow, I can't BELIEVE that worked.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:31pm listener james from westwood:

"Hey, that's not the wallet inspector!"
Avatar 1:31pm nanantatee:

yes, especially when the english language contains a veritable rainbow of the many shades of "meh" banal, mediocre, underwhelming, trite, platitudinous, vapid, commonplace, ordinary, common, stock, conventional, stereotyped, overused, overdone, overworked, stale, worn out, timeworn, tired, just to name a few
Avatar 1:35pm nanantatee:

the "meh"s have it: cultural devolution in the 21st century
  1:37pm Sean:

The Simpson's episode "Bart After Dark" with the burlesque is a must see.
Avatar 1:40pm Dan B From Upstate:

One of the internet's greatest gifs comes from that episode, Sean. i.imgur.com...
Avatar 1:40pm ndbob:

most of the American Spring material is really good
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:40pm Jeff Golick:

@nanantatee: "underwhelming" is a good one.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:45pm pacific standard simon:

Feh!
Avatar 1:45pm nanantatee:

haha, how 'bout unwhelmed, complete and utter lack of whelming.
Avatar ♥ 1:48pm Danne D:

Rich Hall should be a billionaire off of sniglet royalties by now.

Btw the most successful sniglet of all time, hands down, is "spork"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:48pm Amanda:

The pitch on Turntable 1 was at -8 until now!!!! Sorry, everyone. I did think a few records sounded a bit slow.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:50pm listener james from westwood:

IIRC "meh" is actually attributed to "The Simpsons."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Uncle Michael:

Chaka gives me chills.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Jeff Golick:

Bleh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Uncle Michael:

Feh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:57pm Jeff Golick:

(Not a comment on Rufus & Chaka.)
Avatar ♥ 1:58pm Danne D:

Thanks Amanda :D

Have a great day everyone :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:58pm listener james from westwood:

Zuh?!

Jeff, I answered you on FB, btw.

Thanks very much, Amanda!!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Stevel:

Great show. Got to listen to nearly every minute, LIVE!!

(Its about me.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, UM! I'm a very occasional FB checker. As you've perhaps noticed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the show, Amanda!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:59pm Jeff Golick:

From wiki, on meh:

Meh's popularity surged after its use on The Simpsons.[8][1] It was first used in the 1994 episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts",[1] when a librarian reacts to Lisa's surprise that voting records are not classified. It also appeared later in "Lisa's Wedding" after Marge weaves "Hi Bart" on a loom to try to pique her son's interest in weaving, to which he responds "meh". In the 2001 episode "Hungry, Hungry Homer", Lisa spells out the word for emphasis ("M-E-H"), after Homer tries to interest her (Lisa) and Bart into going to the theme park "Blockoland".
