“Melon farmer” is probably originally from the silly old days of U.S. broadcast TV dubbing profanity out of movies instead of just bleeping/silencing. Sometimes movies even filmed alternate scenes for broadcast without profanity! My favorite is in National Lampoon’s Vacation, where the alternate non-profane version is actually funnier.

@HP, the example I always remember is when Chevy Chase gets lost in the ghetto and asks for directions. The uncensored edit just had someone saying “fuck your mama” to him. In the broadcast version it’s totally different and better: “Hey man, I ain’t no Christopher Columbo”, which is best joke ever to a 8-ish-year-old, as I was at the time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:49pm

This slightly off-brand article is mostly the silliest profanity dubs — the Lampoon example doesn’t really belong there since it’s not a dub but a whole alternate scene:

In a doc about Saturday Night Fever, there's emphasis on the heavy profanity (a lot, but never seemed unusual to me) and when a semi-sanitized version was proposed for re-release at PG rating, the actors balked, not wanting to dilute the grittiness, impact, integrity, whatever. Until they were informed of the extra amount they'd EARN, and then, well, it was "Heyyy, where do we sign?" time.

Reminds me of a chat I had with a friend a few years older than me....when he started his career, there was a separate department for Benefits and one for "Personnell." Now, it's "Human Resources," "like bottled water or staples or toilet paper or something. We're a thing to be consumed." Human and Resource like in the Soylent Green sense.

Handy - hopefully, he'll be okay (fully vaxed etc) then, a bit like your good self, he'll be super immune. Think I'll have to resign myself to the same fate and while my vax are still working.

@Wendy: Oh, poo! If Safari doesn't work, can you install different browsers on the iPhone to try?

Otherwise... sure, the phone room can take pledges, and it'd still all go in the WFMU big bucket, but sadly they can't assign pledges to this show.

No, Wendy, don't call the phone room unless you want Evan to get the pledge, heh.

Phillipe, I have no idea which stupid iphone I have. Maybe it’s version 3. I don’t fuckin’ know. Stupid phone.

Well. I called. So much for that. What a pain in the ass. I use Safari on this stupid phone.

Ken, the phone slave seemed to be new and confused, so probably not. I wanted to pledge$20 to be in the running for the prizes. I can paypal you if you’d like.

it's in the best interest of wfmu that my s4L donation comes directly from my bank account, so they can keep withdrawing each month for a while after i check out of this hellhole.

i plan to die with maxed-out credit cards so maybe it's not in wfmu's best interest.
