	♥ 8:18pm David The Splatter: "Doing so bad, mosquitoes won't bite you." I'll have to work that into conversation tomorrow at work.
	8:18pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:17 Any skeeter in the area will bite me and only me.
	♥ 8:18pm heyjoe: I'm diggin those kids singing with William Nunnely

	8:26pm sinner: ↳ heyjoe @8:24 I prescribe the Original Holy Travelers.
	8:26pm sinner: ↳ David The Splatter @8:25 Let us know.
	8:27pm Listener Robert: Meanwhile for July 4 I plan to make a 3" fireflies shell, always a crowd pleaser. It's the one starting here: youtu.be... Also known as Flaming Shit Fall On You. Video doesn't do it justice.
	8:28pm honnew: Hal’le’lugia!
	♥ 8:28pm Handy Haversack: ↳ sinner @8:23 Lightning bugs. Firefly is a TV show. And they are out and about in Brooklyn this evening.
	👋 ♥ 8:28pm Zip7: Brother Kevin, are you familiar with Prophet Omega and his discourse regarding "swollen foots"?
	8:28pm sinner: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:28 Love it.
	8:28pm On the Yazoo: ↳ Listener Robert @8:27 OOOO AHHH
	8:29pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:28 No. I don't think so. Will investigate......
	8:29pm sinner: ↳ honnew @8:28 Bless you! Love it.
	8:30pm sinner: ↳ Listener Robert @8:27 Can I come over?
	♥ 8:30pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:28 As I recall, for a time it was also a liquor made in South Carolina. As exemplified by the last thing a friend of mine said for a long time being, "Boy, this sweet tea vodka sure goes down smooth."
	♥ 8:30pm David The Splatter: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:28 Awesome!
	8:30pm sinner: Great Cleve Graham of the Pilgrim Jubilee Singers, "The Jubes", passed on Tuesday.
	♥ 8:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Blinky Beetles 🪲
	♥ 8:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 If they'd have called it Lightning Bug, I'd have totally drunk it, but as it was, I knew not to trust it.
	👋 ♥ 8:33pm Zip7: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:30 Heh. I wonder if Hadacol or some variation thereof is still available
	8:33pm gone with the wind: Salut
	8:33pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:33 It is. It's called Addercol.
	👋 ♥ 8:33pm common: here!
	8:34pm sinner: ↳ gone with the wind @8:33 Welcome.
	8:34pm sinner: ↳ common @8:33 Fireflies or Lighting Bugs?
	8:34pm Jersey Jim: Great live recording
	👋 ♥ 8:35pm Zip7: ↳ sinner @8:33 Nice! "Adder" as in snake venom, I reckon.
	8:35pm sinner: ↳ Jersey Jim @8:34 Oh, man. Gospel as the way it should be, live.
	8:35pm Listener Robert: ↳ sinner @8:30 I'm told the place we'll be is a public event. In person that fireflies shell looks like an umbrella opening in the sky, and then delayed sparks of aluminum flitters lighting up as they fall to the ground over half a minute or longer.
	♥ 8:38pm Handy Haversack: I just went to change over the laundry in the common basement. And there was a condom in the dryer. So that's fun.
	♥ 8:38pm Blacktooth: "I see some of y'all have TWO hands up!"
	8:38pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:35 Hadn't thought of that one......
	8:38pm sinner: ↳ Blacktooth @8:38 You know it!!
	👋 ♥ 8:39pm Zip7: ↳ sinner @8:35 Yes! It is church, not a concert, as Harvey Watkins Jr. once lectured me from the stage
	8:39pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:39 Let's have church.
	♥ 8:40pm Blacktooth: I would like to hear more of Joyful Sounds Of Dallas, Texas. Like, a lot more.
	♥ 8:41pm G: ↳ sinner @8:34 I used to see them when visiting relatives in West VA as a kid. We called them either word; we knew both. Mary Ellen, who grew up out of town a ways near Lafayette, LA, knew the term lighting bug. The Dictionary of American Regional English would have empirical data for the variant terms’ regional distribution, from all their informants. It’s a well known US regional shibboleth.
	♥ 8:41pm Blacktooth: They sound like a joyful church bar band.
	👋 ♥ 8:42pm Zip7: ↳ sinner @8:39 Brings to mind "Get Right Church and Let's Go Home" by James Cleveland
	8:42pm sinner: ↳ G @8:41 Do you think you could get me all three volumes of DARE for xmas???
	8:43pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:42 That's a good one. No doubt.
	👋 ♥ 8:44pm Zip7: ↳ G @8:41 Oh my. The thought that such a magnificent dictionary exists causes my heart to pound
	8:46pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:44 I think it's online as well.
	♥ 8:49pm Jinx: properly pronounced, in some parts, those are Far Flies.
	8:51pm sinner: ↳ Jinx @8:49 Isn't that the way everyone says it??
	8:52pm HyperDose: ↳ sinner @8:51 worcestershire?
	♥ 8:52pm heyjoe: Mark Twain mentions the lightning bug in a famous quote.
	♥ 8:52pm G: ↳ sinner @8:42 They worked on it from the 50s or 60s till the 10s. Physical was 5 vols. The online version didn’t become available till the 10s. I believe you may be affiliated with organizations that might have a subscription??? Many academic and public libraries subscribe. Here’s the main webpage: www.daredictionary.com
	♥ 8:53pm Blacktooth: ↳ G @8:41 Had no idea the DARE existed. Just got totally lost on their website and laughed out loud at the depth and insight on the regionality of "cream cheese." Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. Will be spending a lift time digging around.
	♥ 8:53pm David The Splatter: ↳ sinner @8:26 So far: Only 2 sightings. A family friend in Norristown, PA and an old college friend living in Akron, OH, have seen lightning bugs this season.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ David The Splatter @8:53 In our run-down Brooklyn back yard, lightning bugs, raspberries, and mosquitoes are all in full effect.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ G @8:52 Woah.
	♥ 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, sinner. I enjoyed the illuminated insect inquiry.
	♥ 8:55pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, sinner.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 You are blessed.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:55 Tomorrow.
	♥ 8:56pm G: ↳ Blacktooth @8:53 I got on the American Dialect Society listserv back in the mid 90s. (I was publishing about language stuff academically.) Several people there worked at DARE (Wisconsin).
	♥ 8:56pm Jinx: enjoyed, sinner. be well.
	♥ 8:56pm David The Splatter: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 Beautiful. Here in FL, we've only got mosquitoes. And more to come thanks to all the rain, no doubt.
	8:56pm sinner: ↳ David The Splatter @8:53 Pesticides, probably.
	8:56pm Listener Robert: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 Raspberries ALREADY?!
	👋 ♥ 8:56pm Zip7: This is a fun dialect quiz: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Sinner!
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Zip7 @8:56 It did capture all three of my poles when I took it.
	♥ 8:57pm Blacktooth: ↳ G @8:56 Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to all the sinners.
	8:57pm Listener Robert: I haven't even checked local trees for mulberries this year yet, let alone raspberries.
	♥ 8:57pm David The Splatter: Thank you, Brother Kevin!
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ David The Splatter @8:57 Thank you, Dave.
	👋 ♥ 8:58pm Zip7: Thanks Brother Kevin. I feel revived in the Spirit!
	8:58pm estebangrande: thanks brother Kevin
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:58 That's what I want to hear.
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ estebangrande @8:58 You be well, my friend.
	8:59pm Listener Robert: The usual sequence here is mulberries, black caps, then a while before raspberries. Or you can come by and get a raspberry from me any time.
	8:59pm estebangrande: ↳ David The Splatter @8:56 mangoes. and termites all over my windshield

Sinner's Crossroads with Kevin Nutt: Playlist from June 13, 2024

View Kevin Nutt's profile

Scratchy vanity 45s, pilfered field recordings, muddy off-the-radio sounds, homemade congregational tapes and vintage commercial gospel throw-downs; a little preachin', a little salvation, a little audio tomfoolery.

Also available as an MP3 podcast. More info at our Podcast Central page.

	8:35pm Listener Robert: ↳ sinner @8:30 I'm told the place we'll be is a public event. In person that fireflies shell looks like an umbrella opening in the sky, and then delayed sparks of aluminum flitters lighting up as they fall to the ground over half a minute or longer.
	♥ 8:38pm Handy Haversack: I just went to change over the laundry in the common basement. And there was a condom in the dryer. So that's fun.
	♥ 8:38pm Blacktooth: "I see some of y'all have TWO hands up!"
	8:38pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:35 Hadn't thought of that one......
	8:38pm sinner: ↳ Blacktooth @8:38 You know it!!
	👋 ♥ 8:39pm Zip7: ↳ sinner @8:35 Yes! It is church, not a concert, as Harvey Watkins Jr. once lectured me from the stage
	8:39pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:39 Let's have church.
	♥ 8:40pm Blacktooth: I would like to hear more of Joyful Sounds Of Dallas, Texas. Like, a lot more.
	♥ 8:41pm G: ↳ sinner @8:34 I used to see them when visiting relatives in West VA as a kid. We called them either word; we knew both. Mary Ellen, who grew up out of town a ways near Lafayette, LA, knew the term lighting bug. The Dictionary of American Regional English would have empirical data for the variant terms’ regional distribution, from all their informants. It’s a well known US regional shibboleth.
	♥ 8:41pm Blacktooth: They sound like a joyful church bar band.
	👋 ♥ 8:42pm Zip7: ↳ sinner @8:39 Brings to mind "Get Right Church and Let's Go Home" by James Cleveland
	8:42pm sinner: ↳ G @8:41 Do you think you could get me all three volumes of DARE for xmas???
	8:43pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:42 That's a good one. No doubt.
	👋 ♥ 8:44pm Zip7: ↳ G @8:41 Oh my. The thought that such a magnificent dictionary exists causes my heart to pound
	8:46pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:44 I think it's online as well.
	♥ 8:49pm Jinx: properly pronounced, in some parts, those are Far Flies.
	8:51pm sinner: ↳ Jinx @8:49 Isn't that the way everyone says it??
	8:52pm HyperDose: ↳ sinner @8:51 worcestershire?
	♥ 8:52pm heyjoe: Mark Twain mentions the lightning bug in a famous quote.
	♥ 8:52pm G: ↳ sinner @8:42 They worked on it from the 50s or 60s till the 10s. Physical was 5 vols. The online version didn’t become available till the 10s. I believe you may be affiliated with organizations that might have a subscription??? Many academic and public libraries subscribe. Here’s the main webpage: www.daredictionary.com
	♥ 8:53pm Blacktooth: ↳ G @8:41 Had no idea the DARE existed. Just got totally lost on their website and laughed out loud at the depth and insight on the regionality of "cream cheese." Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. Will be spending a lift time digging around.
	♥ 8:53pm David The Splatter: ↳ sinner @8:26 So far: Only 2 sightings. A family friend in Norristown, PA and an old college friend living in Akron, OH, have seen lightning bugs this season.
	♥ 8:54pm Handy Haversack: ↳ David The Splatter @8:53 In our run-down Brooklyn back yard, lightning bugs, raspberries, and mosquitoes are all in full effect.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ G @8:52 Woah.
	♥ 8:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, sinner. I enjoyed the illuminated insect inquiry.
	♥ 8:55pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, sinner.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 You are blessed.
	8:55pm sinner: ↳ Uncle Michael @8:55 Tomorrow.
	♥ 8:56pm G: ↳ Blacktooth @8:53 I got on the American Dialect Society listserv back in the mid 90s. (I was publishing about language stuff academically.) Several people there worked at DARE (Wisconsin).
	♥ 8:56pm Jinx: enjoyed, sinner. be well.
	♥ 8:56pm David The Splatter: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 Beautiful. Here in FL, we've only got mosquitoes. And more to come thanks to all the rain, no doubt.
	8:56pm sinner: ↳ David The Splatter @8:53 Pesticides, probably.
	8:56pm Listener Robert: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:54 Raspberries ALREADY?!
	👋 ♥ 8:56pm Zip7: This is a fun dialect quiz: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 8:56pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Sinner!
	♥ 8:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Zip7 @8:56 It did capture all three of my poles when I took it.
	♥ 8:57pm Blacktooth: ↳ G @8:56 Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to all the sinners.
	8:57pm Listener Robert: I haven't even checked local trees for mulberries this year yet, let alone raspberries.
	♥ 8:57pm David The Splatter: Thank you, Brother Kevin!
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ David The Splatter @8:57 Thank you, Dave.
	👋 ♥ 8:58pm Zip7: Thanks Brother Kevin. I feel revived in the Spirit!
	8:58pm estebangrande: thanks brother Kevin
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ Zip7 @8:58 That's what I want to hear.
	8:58pm sinner: ↳ estebangrande @8:58 You be well, my friend.
	8:59pm Listener Robert: The usual sequence here is mulberries, black caps, then a while before raspberries. Or you can come by and get a raspberry from me any time.
	8:59pm estebangrande: ↳ David The Splatter @8:56 mangoes. and termites all over my windshield
