Good afternoon Terre, I'm having a rare idle Saturday evening home, glad to hear you live. Your show were my gateway into WFMU. Not sure whether I should praise or curse you for that

Years of the Snake

Snake Years are sixth in the cycle, following the Dragon Years, and recur every twelfth year.
1905*1917*1929*1941*1953*1965*1977*1989*2001

THE SIGN OF THE SNAKE

The Snake is the intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the Animal Signs. They are attractive people who take cries with ease and do not become flustered easily. They are graceful people, exciting and dark at the same time.

Contemplative and private, the Snake is not outwardly emotional. He can appear cunning and reticent and works very modestly in the business environment. The Snake will plot and scheme to make certain things turn out exactly as they want them to. They are not great communicators and can become quite possessive when they set their minds on achieving the interest of a partner.
  4:08pm Pinto Bean:

“Snaking” is when a surfer paddles around another surfer in order position himself to get the right of way for a wave. He is effectively making a big “S” around a fellow surfer. While not immediately hazardous to your health, this is incredibly annoying. You can’t cut the lineup. Patiently wait your turn. Wave hogs don’t get respect in the water. Also, being a local doesn’t give you permission to ruthlessly snake visitors who are being polite. If they’re not being polite, well…

"Goner re-issue" came out as Gonorrhea-issue. That makes almost as good a band name as Mike Hunt's Disonorable Discharge.

Thank goodness for archives.

  5:11pm Jason Pine:

What is this shit?
  5:14pm PW:

Terre, the "g" in consiglieri is silent, sort of like the "t" in Parquet Courts. Just an "informational note" from a fan...

Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:26pm Ignore Function:

Can't think of any snake related puns so I'll just say the show is awesome so far.
  5:28pm thermoanaero:

it sounds way better with the "G". like a gyro sandwich is better as "gyro" in gyroscope than "hero." Here in america we pronounce our Gs, you commie socialist.

BTW, kidding about the commie socialist part (not about the part about it being better to pronounce the G in consigly-whatsit)

The line from the GenEx song is: "knows one day, he'll be one," not Number One. Still a silly song though.
