	♥ 3:44pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Suzy, I just bought a pile of persimmons at the farmers market to make cookies. But you say I have to hit myself over the head with baking pan first? That's new for this years, I guess. I usually just smoke a big fat joint, but I'll do it your way just this time.
	3:44pm earthwalker: Greetings all Christmas ears around the World !
	♥ 3:44pm suzyhotrod: @JoeyX! hello Flatbush Flask Wielding Friends!
	♥ 3:44pm K8: @earthwalker Sounds likely, you know? The turning water into wine thing, or the walking on water thing...I mean, I don't know. Do all mystics get to do all that?
	♥ 3:45pm K8: @Franco. Hi Franco! It's K8, Handy's K8! I loved your story on Marty's show last night!
	3:47pm Stephen: Dwarves get no love this time of year.... Drinking Up Christmas is a banger!!!
	♥ 3:48pm suzyhotrod: @Stephen, that was on my list, but it didn't make the final cut. 2 hours just isn't enough! My research file was 4.5 hours long!
	3:50pm earthwalker: K8 sadus yogis gurus oh my !
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: bumper HOPPING, suzy
	3:50pm Richard S: Signing in just to say you are playing ALL my favorite Christmas songs!
	♥ 3:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Kate. I was seriously overdone by the time the show started yesterday. Under normal circumstances I have trouble typing, but last night was hopeless.
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: did plenty of that B^D
	♥ 3:50pm HyperDose: I'm suddenly craving a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese from the train station. Nothing like Joisey!
	3:51pm winston legthigh: cheers k8 nice to finally meet u!
	3:51pm JoeyX: We called it bumper skidding in upstate New York!
	♥ 3:51pm joe mulligan: we did that all the time when we were kids - we called it skitching. our parents warned us not to do it and said some kid got killed by skitching a garbage truck
	♥ 3:52pm spodiodi: bumper hopping in philly
	3:52pm Stephen: Tanx Suzy! Love the show!
	♥ 3:52pm K8: @Franco...well, you know. It happens. And especially this time of year. And especially this year. 2021 beckons...come on in!
	♥ 3:53pm spodiodi: bumper skidding describes the skidding part pretty well :)
	3:53pm Dean: Yeah, but Rudolph was (he)(him)(his), and go figure, he's "the most famous reindeer of all" (whom we're all supposed to coyly "recall"). The hegemony of patriarchy extends even to the North Pole.
	♥ 3:53pm suzyhotrod: @hyperdose. Toasting? Them's fighting words. Glad we're all filled with holiday cheer so I can let that go. haha
	3:53pm JoeyX: Yeah, there was always a friend of a friend who got run over skidding, supposedly.
	♥ 3:53pm K8: @winston Hey there! Nice to meet you too!
	♥ 3:54pm Franco Twinkie: Gonna straighten up and fly right in 2021 Kate, I swear.
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: enough kids and the cars were unable to move
	3:54pm zivilars: Thanks Suzy for another Rock and Roller Derby – one of the best shows on WFMU! Killer sets!
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: or fingers stuck in bumpers (or stuck in gloves in bumpers)
	♥ 3:54pm ishky: In Queens in the 70s holding on to the bumper of a car when it was snowing was called skitching.
	♥ 3:54pm K8: @Franco. You better not do any such thing!
	3:55pm Dean: Good to see that Santa Claus cut a record!
	3:55pm earthwalker: Yo Joe. We used to skitch in Brooklyn every winter Sometimes there would be so many of us we would have to push the car and get back on
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, if you say so Kate.
	3:56pm Kpx: I'm lik'in the Christmas colored chat board, but isn't it time to swap those pumpkins with a Christmas tree or a snowman. I thought they were just temporary for the Autumn season. well any hoo, I thought I'd pop in for a short while to get some holiday cheer.
	3:56pm Listener Schned: Merry Christmas, Hot Rod!! On Long Island we called that bumper thing "skitching," the local cops hated it and chased us, it was good to get away-
	♥ 3:57pm Franco Twinkie: BTW, Kate, your avatar is so demented!
	♥ 3:57pm suzyhotrod: @KPX those are icons from the October Hellraiser Donations. We shooooould get a little holiday icon for anyone feeling generous and wanting to make a wee donation to the station.
	3:58pm earthwalker: Buses worked well but dry spots were notorious
	♥ 3:58pm K8: @Franco. I got a little crazy with a holiday collage project...Santa is a crazy cosmic corrupt weirdo. But so charismatic...
	♥ 3:59pm K8: Skitching sounds totally frightening to me. Y'all are tough.
	♥ 3:59pm Franco Twinkie: Yup. A big fat pervert that's full of germs.
	♥ 4:00pm HyperDose: Wait...toasting is blasphemous? Since when?! If the bagels were fresh that morning and then cooled to room temp, surely toasting is an acceptable practice. 🤔
	♥ 4:05pm spodiodi: woo yay Ruth!
	♥ 4:06pm K8: Yay, Greenpoint! And definitely yay, Ruth!
	♥ 4:06pm medson: I’d love to go back to 40
	♥ 4:07pm suzyhotrod: @hyperdose, I've always considered a properly fresh bagel to not need a toasting. it compromises the cream cheese into a drippy mess. There was a HOT HOT debate years ago about a place in Brooklyn that charged for toasting. haha
	♥ 4:08pm Franco Twinkie: I saw a kid holding a car door handle fly off his skateboard a smack his head on the street in front of my house. He was kind of stupid to begin with, but after the kersplatt he was not good for much except raking the leaves and taking out the trash.
	4:08pm earthwalker: K8 Speaking of frightening We used to stand on back bus bumpers and grab on to whatever we could reach above and joy ride Crazy Shit
	♥ 4:08pm suzyhotrod: @medson 40 is still FMU young, haha. So that makes me feel better.
	♥ 4:09pm Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Suzy! Happy early birthday!
	♥ 4:09pm K8: @earthwalker So is that called skitching too?
	♥ 4:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was going to send some baked goods to the station for the skeleton crew to enjoy, but with the virus that's going around, that may be risking trouble.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Merry Christmas Suzy and listeners! Thanks as always for the boss tunes!
	♥ 4:11pm WR: @suzyhorod @408, I was thinking that, and likely true for better or worse.
	4:12pm zivilars: Loretta's voice automatically makes every song great
	♥ 4:12pm streetwaves: Great Christmas playlist that helps make grading papers somewhat pleasant.
	♥ 4:12pm Tommy in Neversink: The heck with ole Santa Claus ...LOL !!!!
	♥ 4:13pm suzyhotrod: So many teachers are still grading like crazy! Good luck @streetwaves! @toddO! Another ghost of WFMU Christmas.
	♥ 4:13pm spodiodi: merry christmas, TopT!
	4:13pm Kpx: Right, like when the main Marathon comes This March, they should have a four leaf clover. 🍀.but for right now it's→☃️❄️🎄🎅
	4:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @spodiodi!
	♥ 4:13pm K8: @streetwaves I have student work to grade tomorrow, too. You are dedicated to be doing it on Sunday!
	4:14pm earthwalker: K8 That's funny cause I was just trying to remember the name. I think we called it hitching. We used to hitch hike a lot as kids to Breezy Point Very young crazy kids
	♥ 4:14pm Scott67: G'day Suzy & Rollers. I hate Xmas songs, but I'm smiling along with the obscure selections you're spinning.
	♥ 4:15pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm a southern boy so I don't understand why anyone would even eat a bagel with corn bread and biscuits are available
	♥ 4:15pm Tommy in Neversink: when
	♥ 4:16pm streetwaves: @K8 I wish I had the choice!
	4:16pm earthwalker: K8. Everytime I call my Brother in Boston here from France he's Always grading papers !
	♥ 4:16pm HyperDose: @Suzy On the fresh bagel I agree. I was referring to taking a few dozen home from O'Bagel for enjoying at a later date! Broil an everything bagel with a Kraft single, thinly sliced apple, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (with or without sugar). TRUST ME 🥰
	♥ 4:17pm K8: @streetwaves. Oof. I hear ya. Sometimes the stack is too big, and every day is grading day! Good luck getting through it...you will triumph!
	♥ 4:17pm suzyhotrod: @Scott67: Thanks for your open ears!
	4:18pm earthwalker: Todd-O !
	♥ 4:20pm K8: Amazing set, Suzy!
	♥ 4:20pm suzyhotrod: @Tommy: now you're talking. Hot damn on biscuits and cornbread.
	♥ 4:21pm Tommy in Neversink: I make mine from scratch
	4:21pm Brian Smith: funky chicken Santa
	♥ 4:22pm suzyhotrod: Thanks @K8! @Tommy: My friend from Carolina refused to make biscuits here in NYC cause she couldn't get White Queen flour. Do you have thoughts on flour?
	♥ 4:23pm Franco Twinkie: No Christmas pudding for you until you walk the dog, mister.
	♥ 4:23pm K8: Dance party with Santa!!!
	♥ 4:24pm Tommy in Neversink: Bob's Red Mill WW Pastry four is excellent
	♥ 4:25pm medson: Love these songs.
	♥ 4:25pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm from NC BTW
	♥ 4:25pm steveo: This song is exactly why i keep my chimney capped this time of year
	♥ 4:25pm Franco Twinkie: Bob's in the pink bag, yes.
	♥ 4:25pm suzyhotrod: suggestive christmas songs? @medson, ya gotta love em!
	♥ 4:27pm K8: Oh my goodness, and here comes Clarence Carter...
	4:27pm Kpx: Cornbread 'Johnny cake' my mother like that a lot. Myself, not so crazy for it. But heavily buttered, I could take it or leave it.
	♥ 4:27pm Fuzzy: Right on cue!
	♥ 4:27pm suzyhotrod: I should talk to Michele. Maybe next year we can do a dirty Christmas show together.
	4:28pm Dave Miss: Backdo Santa!! YES
	♥ 4:28pm JohnEBGood: Santa gets around. Ho ho ho ; )
	♥ 4:29pm medson: But once a year 🤣
	♥ 4:29pm K8: Muffs! Muffs! Muffs!
	♥ 4:29pm Scott67: @Suzy, you're converting me ;-)
	♥ 4:30pm Fuzzy: The elves don't know but the little girls understand.
	♥ 4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: The "Got me crying over here" set.
	♥ 4:36pm K8: I don't know how to feel about this being Billy Idol...I am conflicted...
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @hyperdose: Is O'Bagel a chain? Where do you live? There is one in Hoboken though I've never been.
	4:37pm Jett: Do you have Akim and Teddy Vann - Santa Claus is a Black Man? It's a big fave of mine.
	♥ 4:37pm RobinSays: Wow! Billy Idol doing "Winter Wonderland." I always thought he had a good sense of humor about himself (I actually thought this was Paul McCartney --go figure).
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This King Khan track is Peanuts-esque!
	♥ 4:37pm suzyhotrod: @K8. If you watch the truly terrible music video to accompany it, you'll really know the full value of its existence. haha
	♥ 4:38pm suzyhotrod: I wish someone who could draw would do the King Khan all stars drawn as Peanuts.
	♥ 4:39pm K8: Now I have a goal for the evening...I shall find this video! Oh, Billy...
	♥ 4:39pm suzyhotrod: Those super cute Hannah Barbera-eqsue drawings of Tandoori Knights are super cute. Maybe that artist!
	♥ 4:40pm spodiodi: @TopT, i agree!
	♥ 4:42pm Motobro: Ho Ho Ho, sounding good Ms. Suzy !!
	4:43pm winston legthigh: missed back door santa, nvts!
	4:46pm winston legthigh: pearl jam, wheres rachelbobachel? MOTO!
	4:47pm Jett: I'm partial to the Sonics "Don't Believe In Christmas."
	♥ 4:48pm HyperDose: @Todd Grew up in Millington, O'Bagel has a store right across from the Shop Rite in Stirling. Never been to the Hoboken one. They're more of a full menu type place, whereas the Stirling location is just bagels and a few breakfast sammies. Live in Maplewood now. Three pizzerias and 3 bars on my street...I'm spoiled!
	4:48pm Paul: This might be the only Pearl Jam song I like.
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hyperdose: Ah...I visit my Mom in Maplewood a few times a week. Nice town!
	♥ 4:49pm Motobro: WINSTON !!

	4:51pm Paul: Remember when she used to sing this on Letterman every year?
	4:51pm winston legthigh: u said it suzy!

	4:51pm linus: Eh, second only to Snoopy and Red Baron xmas

	4:53pm Stevel: Letterman did a solid by having her year after year.
	♥ 4:53pm suzyhotrod: She did The View too to continue the tradition.
	4:54pm Paul: Never have seen the View, but that's pretty cool.
	4:54pm winston legthigh: did the electric snowman survive the snowblower moto?

	♥ 3:44pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Suzy, I just bought a pile of persimmons at the farmers market to make cookies. But you say I have to hit myself over the head with baking pan first? That's new for this years, I guess. I usually just smoke a big fat joint, but I'll do it your way just this time.
	3:44pm earthwalker: Greetings all Christmas ears around the World !
	♥ 3:44pm suzyhotrod: @JoeyX! hello Flatbush Flask Wielding Friends!
	♥ 3:44pm K8: @earthwalker Sounds likely, you know? The turning water into wine thing, or the walking on water thing...I mean, I don't know. Do all mystics get to do all that?
	♥ 3:45pm K8: @Franco. Hi Franco! It's K8, Handy's K8! I loved your story on Marty's show last night!
	3:47pm Stephen: Dwarves get no love this time of year.... Drinking Up Christmas is a banger!!!
	♥ 3:48pm suzyhotrod: @Stephen, that was on my list, but it didn't make the final cut. 2 hours just isn't enough! My research file was 4.5 hours long!
	3:50pm earthwalker: K8 sadus yogis gurus oh my !
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: bumper HOPPING, suzy
	3:50pm Richard S: Signing in just to say you are playing ALL my favorite Christmas songs!
	♥ 3:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thank you Kate. I was seriously overdone by the time the show started yesterday. Under normal circumstances I have trouble typing, but last night was hopeless.
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: did plenty of that B^D
	♥ 3:50pm HyperDose: I'm suddenly craving a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese from the train station. Nothing like Joisey!
	3:51pm winston legthigh: cheers k8 nice to finally meet u!
	3:51pm JoeyX: We called it bumper skidding in upstate New York!
	♥ 3:51pm joe mulligan: we did that all the time when we were kids - we called it skitching. our parents warned us not to do it and said some kid got killed by skitching a garbage truck
	♥ 3:52pm spodiodi: bumper hopping in philly
	3:52pm Stephen: Tanx Suzy! Love the show!
	♥ 3:52pm K8: @Franco...well, you know. It happens. And especially this time of year. And especially this year. 2021 beckons...come on in!
	♥ 3:53pm spodiodi: bumper skidding describes the skidding part pretty well :)
	3:53pm Dean: Yeah, but Rudolph was (he)(him)(his), and go figure, he's "the most famous reindeer of all" (whom we're all supposed to coyly "recall"). The hegemony of patriarchy extends even to the North Pole.
	♥ 3:53pm suzyhotrod: @hyperdose. Toasting? Them's fighting words. Glad we're all filled with holiday cheer so I can let that go. haha
	3:53pm JoeyX: Yeah, there was always a friend of a friend who got run over skidding, supposedly.
	♥ 3:53pm K8: @winston Hey there! Nice to meet you too!
	♥ 3:54pm Franco Twinkie: Gonna straighten up and fly right in 2021 Kate, I swear.
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: enough kids and the cars were unable to move
	3:54pm zivilars: Thanks Suzy for another Rock and Roller Derby – one of the best shows on WFMU! Killer sets!
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: or fingers stuck in bumpers (or stuck in gloves in bumpers)
	♥ 3:54pm ishky: In Queens in the 70s holding on to the bumper of a car when it was snowing was called skitching.
	♥ 3:54pm K8: @Franco. You better not do any such thing!
	3:55pm Dean: Good to see that Santa Claus cut a record!
	3:55pm earthwalker: Yo Joe. We used to skitch in Brooklyn every winter Sometimes there would be so many of us we would have to push the car and get back on
	♥ 3:55pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, if you say so Kate.
	3:56pm Kpx: I'm lik'in the Christmas colored chat board, but isn't it time to swap those pumpkins with a Christmas tree or a snowman. I thought they were just temporary for the Autumn season. well any hoo, I thought I'd pop in for a short while to get some holiday cheer.
	3:56pm Listener Schned: Merry Christmas, Hot Rod!! On Long Island we called that bumper thing "skitching," the local cops hated it and chased us, it was good to get away-
	♥ 3:57pm Franco Twinkie: BTW, Kate, your avatar is so demented!
	♥ 3:57pm suzyhotrod: @KPX those are icons from the October Hellraiser Donations. We shooooould get a little holiday icon for anyone feeling generous and wanting to make a wee donation to the station.
	3:58pm earthwalker: Buses worked well but dry spots were notorious
	♥ 3:58pm K8: @Franco. I got a little crazy with a holiday collage project...Santa is a crazy cosmic corrupt weirdo. But so charismatic...
	♥ 3:59pm K8: Skitching sounds totally frightening to me. Y'all are tough.
	♥ 3:59pm Franco Twinkie: Yup. A big fat pervert that's full of germs.
	♥ 4:00pm HyperDose: Wait...toasting is blasphemous? Since when?! If the bagels were fresh that morning and then cooled to room temp, surely toasting is an acceptable practice. 🤔
	♥ 4:05pm spodiodi: woo yay Ruth!
	♥ 4:06pm K8: Yay, Greenpoint! And definitely yay, Ruth!
	♥ 4:06pm medson: I’d love to go back to 40
	♥ 4:07pm suzyhotrod: @hyperdose, I've always considered a properly fresh bagel to not need a toasting. it compromises the cream cheese into a drippy mess. There was a HOT HOT debate years ago about a place in Brooklyn that charged for toasting. haha
	♥ 4:08pm Franco Twinkie: I saw a kid holding a car door handle fly off his skateboard a smack his head on the street in front of my house. He was kind of stupid to begin with, but after the kersplatt he was not good for much except raking the leaves and taking out the trash.
	4:08pm earthwalker: K8 Speaking of frightening We used to stand on back bus bumpers and grab on to whatever we could reach above and joy ride Crazy Shit
	♥ 4:08pm suzyhotrod: @medson 40 is still FMU young, haha. So that makes me feel better.
	♥ 4:09pm Marley P. Dogg: Great show today Suzy! Happy early birthday!
	♥ 4:09pm K8: @earthwalker So is that called skitching too?
	♥ 4:10pm Ken From Hyde Park: I was going to send some baked goods to the station for the skeleton crew to enjoy, but with the virus that's going around, that may be risking trouble.
	4:11pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Merry Christmas Suzy and listeners! Thanks as always for the boss tunes!
	♥ 4:11pm WR: @suzyhorod @408, I was thinking that, and likely true for better or worse.
	4:12pm zivilars: Loretta's voice automatically makes every song great
	♥ 4:12pm streetwaves: Great Christmas playlist that helps make grading papers somewhat pleasant.
	♥ 4:12pm Tommy in Neversink: The heck with ole Santa Claus ...LOL !!!!
	♥ 4:13pm suzyhotrod: So many teachers are still grading like crazy! Good luck @streetwaves! @toddO! Another ghost of WFMU Christmas.
	♥ 4:13pm spodiodi: merry christmas, TopT!
	4:13pm Kpx: Right, like when the main Marathon comes This March, they should have a four leaf clover. 🍀.but for right now it's→☃️❄️🎄🎅
	4:13pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Thanks @spodiodi!
	♥ 4:13pm K8: @streetwaves I have student work to grade tomorrow, too. You are dedicated to be doing it on Sunday!
	4:14pm earthwalker: K8 That's funny cause I was just trying to remember the name. I think we called it hitching. We used to hitch hike a lot as kids to Breezy Point Very young crazy kids
	♥ 4:14pm Scott67: G'day Suzy & Rollers. I hate Xmas songs, but I'm smiling along with the obscure selections you're spinning.
	♥ 4:15pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm a southern boy so I don't understand why anyone would even eat a bagel with corn bread and biscuits are available
	♥ 4:15pm Tommy in Neversink: when
	♥ 4:16pm streetwaves: @K8 I wish I had the choice!
	4:16pm earthwalker: K8. Everytime I call my Brother in Boston here from France he's Always grading papers !
	♥ 4:16pm HyperDose: @Suzy On the fresh bagel I agree. I was referring to taking a few dozen home from O'Bagel for enjoying at a later date! Broil an everything bagel with a Kraft single, thinly sliced apple, and a sprinkle of cinnamon (with or without sugar). TRUST ME 🥰
	♥ 4:17pm K8: @streetwaves. Oof. I hear ya. Sometimes the stack is too big, and every day is grading day! Good luck getting through it...you will triumph!
	♥ 4:17pm suzyhotrod: @Scott67: Thanks for your open ears!
	4:18pm earthwalker: Todd-O !
	♥ 4:20pm K8: Amazing set, Suzy!
	♥ 4:20pm suzyhotrod: @Tommy: now you're talking. Hot damn on biscuits and cornbread.

	4:21pm Brian Smith: funky chicken Santa
	♥ 4:22pm suzyhotrod: Thanks @K8! @Tommy: My friend from Carolina refused to make biscuits here in NYC cause she couldn't get White Queen flour. Do you have thoughts on flour?
	♥ 4:23pm Franco Twinkie: No Christmas pudding for you until you walk the dog, mister.
	♥ 4:23pm K8: Dance party with Santa!!!
	♥ 4:24pm Tommy in Neversink: Bob's Red Mill WW Pastry four is excellent
	♥ 4:25pm medson: Love these songs.
	♥ 4:25pm Tommy in Neversink: I'm from NC BTW
	♥ 4:25pm steveo: This song is exactly why i keep my chimney capped this time of year
	♥ 4:25pm Franco Twinkie: Bob's in the pink bag, yes.
	♥ 4:25pm suzyhotrod: suggestive christmas songs? @medson, ya gotta love em!
	♥ 4:27pm K8: Oh my goodness, and here comes Clarence Carter...
	4:27pm Kpx: Cornbread 'Johnny cake' my mother like that a lot. Myself, not so crazy for it. But heavily buttered, I could take it or leave it.
	♥ 4:27pm Fuzzy: Right on cue!
	♥ 4:27pm suzyhotrod: I should talk to Michele. Maybe next year we can do a dirty Christmas show together.
	4:28pm Dave Miss: Backdo Santa!! YES
	♥ 4:28pm JohnEBGood: Santa gets around. Ho ho ho ; )
	♥ 4:29pm medson: But once a year 🤣
	♥ 4:29pm K8: Muffs! Muffs! Muffs!
	♥ 4:29pm Scott67: @Suzy, you're converting me ;-)
	♥ 4:30pm Fuzzy: The elves don't know but the little girls understand.
	♥ 4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: The "Got me crying over here" set.
	♥ 4:36pm K8: I don't know how to feel about this being Billy Idol...I am conflicted...
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @hyperdose: Is O'Bagel a chain? Where do you live? There is one in Hoboken though I've never been.
	4:37pm Jett: Do you have Akim and Teddy Vann - Santa Claus is a Black Man? It's a big fave of mine.
	♥ 4:37pm RobinSays: Wow! Billy Idol doing "Winter Wonderland." I always thought he had a good sense of humor about himself (I actually thought this was Paul McCartney --go figure).
	4:37pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: This King Khan track is Peanuts-esque!
	♥ 4:37pm suzyhotrod: @K8. If you watch the truly terrible music video to accompany it, you'll really know the full value of its existence. haha
	♥ 4:38pm suzyhotrod: I wish someone who could draw would do the King Khan all stars drawn as Peanuts.
	♥ 4:39pm K8: Now I have a goal for the evening...I shall find this video! Oh, Billy...
	♥ 4:39pm suzyhotrod: Those super cute Hannah Barbera-eqsue drawings of Tandoori Knights are super cute. Maybe that artist!
	♥ 4:40pm spodiodi: @TopT, i agree!
	♥ 4:42pm Motobro: Ho Ho Ho, sounding good Ms. Suzy !!

	4:46pm winston legthigh: pearl jam, wheres rachelbobachel? MOTO!
	4:47pm Jett: I'm partial to the Sonics "Don't Believe In Christmas."
	♥ 4:48pm HyperDose: @Todd Grew up in Millington, O'Bagel has a store right across from the Shop Rite in Stirling. Never been to the Hoboken one. They're more of a full menu type place, whereas the Stirling location is just bagels and a few breakfast sammies. Live in Maplewood now. Three pizzerias and 3 bars on my street...I'm spoiled!
	4:48pm Paul: This might be the only Pearl Jam song I like.
	4:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: @Hyperdose: Ah...I visit my Mom in Maplewood a few times a week. Nice town!

	4:54pm Paul: Never have seen the View, but that's pretty cool.
