I often prefer my quick-initial-glance misunderstandings of something written to the actual text I was supposed to have seen.

For instance, on first glance I thought the title of that Yonatan Gat song was "Theme from a Dork Party".

I like that. Maybe I'll have to write that one myself.

Hey Kids!

Jeff, when you have that dork party I'm invited, right?

I still haven't received my swag from the 215 marathon. I've kinda given up on it arriving since it's been 1,800 years. Should I email Joe?

The first time I visited WFMU was to help mail swag out. I folded A LOT of t-shirts that afternoon.

I haven't gotten my swag yet either but since it is a mouse+ I figured that is usually the last to get sent out...

I don't hear a projector here. Unless it's really subtle.

Oh, hi Stork! Good to see you made it to your destination. Yes, the sappiness was a result of our conversation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40am
Therese:

Mary- the sound IS coming from the general area of DAW1...
Avatar 12:45am
Jeff:

Oh, wait - DAW1 has an intermittent thing where the fan blade ticks like it's hitting something. On my list to try to fix when nobody's using Studio A.

Think of it like having a playing card in your bicycle spokes.

I like that analogy, Jeff.

Saw some kid yesterday who crushed a plastic cup and stuck it near his back wheel so it could sound like a motor whir when he rode his bike. Most maddening sound ever.

Hi, Mary. Remember yesterday when I mentioned I might reward myself with a Coke at some point. This has changed my mind - www.themarketbusiness.com... Maybe a bowl of cherries would be better.

When I was a kid I had a thing on my bicycle handlebar that made a motorcycle revving sound when I cranked it.

The thing was called Raw Power. I found the commercial on YouTube.

Well, cherries are a good choice. The Coke ain't killed me yet; although I drink a hell of a lot less of it now.

I like slushies/Slurpees™ as well as a few fancy/schmancy soda flavors.

I tried that green-label Coke the other day, it was not a pleasant taste at all.

@Mary: Stevia—which is what Coca-Cola Life is flavored with—tastes horrible. I think there are some people who hate cilantro and like stevia out there.

The Leather Tuscadero mention led me down a slight k-hole that lead me to… “Blanksky’s Beauties” the odd “Happy Days” spinoff with Nancy Walker. Blansky's Beauties

Yes, sorta. I sang it out loud, but then went and looked it up to copy and paste, heh.

Impressive.

Ooops, here is the “Blanksky’s Beauties” opening: www.youtube.com...
Avatar 1:11am
Mary Wing:

Yeah, considering I don't remember anything else about that show, at all. That song buried itself in my brain somehow.
  1:12am
JakeGould:

FWIW, I have always remembered part of the theme of “Hello Larry” since it aired.
Avatar 1:13am
BadGuyZero:

I'm fortunate to have a grocery store nearby that caters to the local Latin community. Whenever I need a soda fix I can go there and get pop made with real sugar from Mexico. They also carry a carbonated beverage from Holland called Nikoline Enjoy that's lemon, lime, and mint flavored. It's sort of like a non-alcoholic mojito.
Avatar 1:14am
Jon Solomon:

I didn't fall asleep! But now I will!
  1:14am
rw:

Hello Larry? Was that a spinoff of... Three's Company?

The Mexican market near my house occasionally has cucumber popsicles coated with cayenne powder.
Avatar 1:16am
BadGuyZero:

Wasn't "Hello Larry" a McLean Stevenson show?
  1:17am
JakeGould:

“Hello Larry” was a “Differ’nt Strokes” spin off about… a radio personality! “Hello Larry, you talk to people all day for a living. But all those easy answers you are giving. Are you really living your life that way? Portland is a long way from L.A.” www.youtube.com...
  1:18am
JakeGould:

“While not a spin-off, Hello, Larry (1979–1980) had a connection to Strokes as it was established in a crossover episode that Philip Drummond and Larry Alder (McLean Stevenson) were old army buddies, and Mr. Drummond had bought the company that owned the radio station Larry worked at as a talk show host.”
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:20am
Therese:

Jon- the next time you are in Jersey City, please bring one me one of those cucumber popsicles.
  1:23am
JakeGould:

Why isn’t there such a thing as a cucumber and watermelon slushie?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26am
Therese:

That sounds like a refreshment overload!
Avatar 1:27am
BadGuyZero:

Cucumber, watermelon, and mint!
  1:27am
rw:

Therese, they're pretty delicious but seem to be rare. I looked yesterday but didn't have any. They also have pecan popsicles which are more normally stocked.
  1:28am
Bob in DC and/or Virginia:

Hey Therese! I'm getting a late start listening to your show tonight because of my car dying. Looks like I missed a big "Hello Larry" discussion?

Down here you can get coconut frozen pops that are dipped in dark chocolate. They're pretty great.

@Therese: A few weeks back some of us on the playlist bonded over this one Brooklyn ice cream truck that plays, “Send in the Clowns” as their jingle music. What joy that song brings… NOT!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:02am
Therese:

There is a slight possibility that I imagined this, but I remember an ice cream truck in Jersey City that used the Godfather Theme as its jingle.
  2:04am
JakeGould:

@Therese: Maybe you are mixing up ice cream truck jingles with the custom car horns that were a big thing in the 1980s. www.youtube.com...

My parents had whichever Carpenters record had their version of "Superstar" on it. I think the parents of every kid born before 1977 had a copy of that Carpenters record. I bet hospitals gave copies of that record to new parents along with a copy of Dr. Spock's book.

@pss: It's amazing to me how even in 2015 Nixon is still considered the worst president. It's like him and Spiro Agnew are patsy's for political corruption that will never fade away.

See you here next time.

Steve-O:

@Jake & Simon: If you ask me, if anything, James K. Polk might just be the most overrated President of all time. I mean, sure, he was there when we bought the Southwest from Mexico, but if anything, he was mainly just in the right place at the right time.

And Nixon was a crook, but if you want my opinion, I'd think that Andrew Jackson was the worst President ever(incompetent, started the Trail of Tears, etc.), apart from maybe James Buchanan(coward, backed down in face of imminent Reb treason).
