Urine, coffee, hamburger...Hey, here's almost lunch time! Stop it! You are making me hungry/thirsty!

9:15am postmanpaul:

that young lady looks a sinful potpourri of wickedness and I can hardly contain myself; she looks like she may also be finding it a little difficult, to contain herself, i mean.

9:15am OOIFOFO:

mmmm...big sausage pizza.

9:15am pierre:

Bonjour Ken !

9:30am hamburger,0,0,0//,0,0:

9:30am Goyim in the AM:

9:30am Sam:

Doesn't eiersalat mean egg salad?

9:30am kim:

eggsalad in rock

9:31am pierre:

because i'm at work, and they didn't gave me speakers (yet) for me to put wfmu loud ! I sometime use headphones (a pretty neat invention, don't know if you heard about it?) > i will listen to the archive, but its not the same without you live interventions…

9:31am OOIFOFO:

mmmm....urine, hamburger, eggsalad, big sausage pizza, coffee.

9:33am fishmonkeystew:

Don't slime the controls with your boils, Ken! You could cause a WFMU Poison Ivy/Sumac epidemic!

9:33am Ken:

No, I believe it means "honesty." We'll just have to agree to disagree. Pierre! Get Thee To A Headphones Factory!

9:33am Jan:

IPhone bringing Ken's show to Turks and Caicos!

DOT O R G!!!!

9:37am Goyim in the AM:

I have been lied too and cheated by egg salad before, Ken.

9:37am Sam:

How ironic that you would be dishonest about the word honesty! But I guess there's no way to know for sure, unless someone can find a German.

9:40am Sam:

Actually the word "honesty" sounds eerily like "on ecstasy", which is clearly no accident.

9:40am trrish:

'Salamander Brandy' ?

9:41am OOIFOFO:

I also want to know whatever happened to Larry (Jim Price) after the great finale. o.O

9:42am AnAnonymousParty:

Try looking in Virginia.

9:46am Cecile:

hamburger, the other co-worker is now slaying Rebel scum in the other room (He loves playing Darth Vader in his Star Wars game.)

9:47am wha?:

This song is keeping perfect time with the leg jiggle on the GIF at the animation at the top of the playlist.

9:49am Sam:

Scum is such a funny word. I sold my scum at the pawn shop to pay off my debts, so it was pawned scum.

9:50am OOIFOFO:

Pierre,
So what you listen to when reading the comments?

9:50am Tom Hanks:

Hey everyone! Don't forget I have a new movie coming out next weekend!

9:52am still b/p:

You and Julia will charm us more than we can bear, Tom.

9:53am OOIFOFO:

HEY! We are not living in the dark ages! We have..celebrities on our chat board today. ¬¬)

9:53am holland oats:

does taking a day off from coffee make me a contrarian?

9:55am Vivian:

The lady with the mask, is that Bettie Page? Oh, Gooooodd Morning all!

9:55am AnAnonymousParty:

"Calm ass hero"?

9:55am Sam:

No more than taking a day off meat makes you a vegetarian

9:57am still b/p:

It just means you've turned your Java apps off.

That's Paulette Goddard

9:57am Ken:

Vivian, that is Paulette Goddard.

9:57am Dan B From Upstate:

Looks like Paulette Goddard...

9:58am OOIFOFO:

I think is Paulette Goddard.

9:58am Sam:

Definitely not Paulette Goddard

9:59am Paulette Goddard:

i CONCUR. C'est Moi.

9:59am MPA ratings board:

I think it's PG.

10:01am Luis Bunuel:

un ken andelou

10:01am Robert Goddard:

Well it sure as hell ain't me, I can tell you that.

10:02am Tim Stoddard:

Not wearing an Orioles uniform so it isn't me either.

10:02am OOIFOFO:

1976! wtf. I was tiny ooifofo baby.

10:03am Tom Stoppard:

I'm not nearly that good looking so it isn't me.

10:04am Yma Sumac:

gotcha!

10:04am Slazenger:

Sumac Sack

10:04am Poison Ivy:

bitch

10:05am AnAnonymousParty:

Uh, no, there are worse places to get poison ivy.

10:05am Cecile:

You could make an oatmeal paste and stick it on the area.
Also, take ibuprofen. Itch is a form of pain.

10:05am trrish:

Autumn sumac is the greatest.

10:05am Jean Luc Godard:

Is not me. I have only one 'd' and shoulders more nice.

10:06am Sam:

Does cold water work? Or ice packs?

10:06am OOIFOFO:

Bitch is itch.

10:07am Yma Sumac:

I may be loud, but I'm not poison.

10:07am lz:

Hey Ken, is Andy's crime confession up yet? I need me some entertainment while I wait for Ken & Andy's Kavalcade of Komedy. ;-)

10:10am Sam:

Hey, this Kid Quentin is not bad! And he's referencing my favorite move of all time "Le Charme Discret de la Bourgeoisie"

10:10am Dr. AnAnonymousParty:

1% cortizone cream works wonders. But I have had it so bad I got put on Prednizone.

10:12am pierre:

@ OOIFOFO : i'm listening to people talking, and they are no People like Us !

10:12am Albert:

You know what sumac backwards spells, eh?

10:12am Ken:

Ice Water?! That's whiskey talk. HOT HOT HOT water. And advil. And Zinc Acetate.

10:13am Sam:

You know what the best cure for a headache is?

10:16am Ryan Dunn:

booo!

10:16am Sam:

Masturbation

10:16am lz:

I learned the phrase "that's whiskey talk" from Ken and used it on my girlfriend once. Boy, did I never hear the end of that one. True story!

10:16am hamburger,0,0,0//,0,0:

:D baguette hohohohohoho

10:17am Cecile:

ouh honh honh honh

10:17am Homer Simpson:

Mmmmmm, baguettes!

10:18am Sam:

Virgule zéro!

10:19am Ken:

And I learned the phrase "Whiskey Talk" from some 70's Cop show - Police Story?

10:22am pierre:

baguettes are overated

10:22am Robert:

So you both heard the word "whisk-y" and presumed it referred to "whiskey"?

10:22am bbell:

Ken, there is a native plant that CURES poison ivy! I will send a link to you!

10:22am BSI:

I prefer the full-size bags, myself.

10:23am Carmichael:

Good day, Kenneth and Hump-day people.

10:23am pierre:

french people do say "ouh honh honh honh" quite a lot

10:24am Sam:

Your DJ is in this pose: reverse cowgirl

10:25am Sam:

French people say voilà way way too much also. Every time they agree with what you just said they're like "Voilà!" How annoying.

10:25am bbell:

Impatients biflora is the antidote plant that grows in damp areas and is usually found near poison ivy. Here is a link: http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/Plants.Folder/Jewelweed.html

10:28am AnAnonymousParty:

voila == dude

10:28am Sam:

Oui, voilà

10:28am Snoop Dog:

voila == know whut I'm sayin'?

10:30am pierre:

i agree with AnAnonymousParty, languages have their boring habits. i don't really use "voilà", and i mustn't be french, in the meantime who really is (?)

10:30am trrish:

"Presto !"

10:30am Dark Helmet:

Skip past this part. In fact, never play this again.

10:31am hamburger,0,0,0//,0,0:

well, 'say la vee' as they say

10:33am Oscar:

Yay, my brother did this one!

10:33am Sam:

It's like the people who are like always saying like, they're like "Do you like, like me?" and I'm like, unlikely!

10:34am Playlist:

Why do I feel so damn QUEASY?

10:34am Dan B From Upstate:

Wow. Things must be bad if you've gone to "Ding."

10:35am Sam:

Cerberus - the original dog from hell

10:35am Ken:

Yes, things are that bad. I apologize. Be right back.

10:36am Playlist:

DRUG BREAK.

10:37am DEA Agent:

Everybody down on the floor! This is a bust!

10:37am Sam:

I guess Ken got a headache and had to do something about it. Don't worry Ken, it's hard but I know you can pull it off.

10:37am hamburger,0,0,0//,0,0:

Yall never take me alive queefwagon!

10:38am Carmichael:

Maybe Immigration & Naturalization is paying a visit.

10:39am Emile:

Ken, I've fallen into a downer hole here .... Everythig ok over there?

10:39am OOIFOFO:

Oh noes, the never ending song!

10:40am Ken:

OK, I am back now. Should I let this play out? Another 12 minutes left.

10:41am OOIFOFO:

Pierre,
There's no one like People Like Us.

10:41am LP:

Let it roll. Or slither until its own timely end!

10:41am Dan B From Upstate:

I tried typing up the lyrics to this song once. Well.. it's still a work in progress. I can't seem to get the final third of the song right.

10:41am Sam:

Is it a major third or a minor third?

10:43am still b/p:

Play on. Colleen of Big Blood is the lead vocal and I lllllike it.

10:44am Ken:

I like the cut of your jib, still b/p!

10:44am bw:

Ken you just made the rain stop!!!! amazing power and you are like not even 100% there

10:45am Sam:

One of my fingers itches because I have dry skin. I was thinking of putting some skin cream on it, but maybe I'll try scalding it with hot water. What do you think?

10:46am Ken:

This song has replaced "Green Grass and High Tides," "Freebird (Live)," and "Mountain Jam Part Two" as my go-to song for extended personal needs.

10:46am Pete Townshend:

rock opera, meh

10:46am Ken:

Yes Sam, SCALDING hot water. As hot as you can stand it. It works for like 4 hours!

10:47am Sam:

10:10 is not bad also

10:48am Mike:

Amazing song

10:48am Ken:

Yes, but 10:10 is too short.

10:49am Lizarder Dave:

The gif next to the 60 second remixes would seem to indicate the plan for a cat-free internet has failed.

10:49am Dan B From Upstate:

Since I first heard this song about two years ago, it's the most played song on my iPod. I wish I had access to the numbers right now, but it's such an exhorbitantly higher number than any eighteen minute song needs to be played in a lifetime, let alone two years.

10:49am Playlist:

20:20 would give more margin for "error".

10:49am Ken:

Hmmmm.. Mountain Jam, Part Two is starting to sound pretty good to me...

10:50am Sam:

If you ask me, in a contest between all those songs, 10:10 wins.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

10:50am ADL:

This is a Hanson cover, right?

10:50am Ken:

Lizard Dave, what do you mean?

10:50am OOIFOFO:

Sam,
If this itchiness occurs on the tips or sides of the fingers ...DO NOT DO IT!
Perhaps you have a nasty type of eczema like dyshidrosis :)

10:51am Cecile:

You're too entertaining today, foiks. gotta get back to the grind.

10:51am glenn:

isiedcffeenmykeybardandnwsmeettersandfthesacebardntwrk

10:52am Lizardner Dave:

There is a cat. On your playlist. On the Internet.

10:52am Coffee:

Fine grind, or coasre grind?

10:52am Sam:

It's a very small area on the side of my thumb. I will take the advice of the great Pharaceutico.

10:52am Cat GIF:

This is your cat. This is your cat on drugs. Any questions?

10:53am Ken:

I dont see a cat.

10:53am glenn:

iquidcffee

10:55am still b/p:

The pope has granted an internet dispensation for cats what goes skull-hoppin'.

10:55am Carmichael:

Myself, I don't see a chewing Nazi.

10:56am Cat GIF:

Yeah, all I see is a pussy-shaped cerebral cortex that has learned how to jump gracefully.

10:56am Dan B From Upstate:

Hmm... I sense a theme coming on.

10:57am hamburger,0,0,0//,0,0:

ken's trolling!

10:57am Murphy Kat:

look mommy there's an airplane in the sky

10:57am Actually Listening:

Second verse, same as the first.

10:59am Sam:

When twins die, everyone says: Second hearse, same as the first!

10:59am Actually Listening:

Up next? "Three-fer Wednesday"

11:00am OOIFOFO:

Sam,

Yeah, that's how they start. On very small areas.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyshidrosis

You wanna know how I know? Well, last year, Jim fucking Pharma Morrison told me, that' s who! He came to me. 'Cause I'm a Dyshidrosis fan!!!!

11:01am Mark:

alright bass solo!

11:01am Actually Listening:

Is this one of those "jelly bands"?

11:01am cee dubbles:

Of course it's Whiskey Talk, read your Guadalcanal Diary. Whisky talk is the sweet breath of angels

11:02am Michael:

I've just seen part of an episode of "Jon Benjamin Has a Van"---I wanted to, as I think his is one of the great animated cartoon voices of our time. Mixed review, but over-all I felt like I was seeing a sort of humanised Andy Breckman, and wondered if anyone else thought that apt.

11:02am Actually Listening:

Actually, these dudes are so old it would be a "preserves band". Gov't Mule would be a jam band.

11:03am Michelle in Green Bay:

Greetings all. Glad I got here in time for the best 13-minute song. :-)

11:04am OOIFOFO:

yay! michelle in green bay reports in! :D welcome!

11:04am Sam:

Ew, I don't think I have that. No blisters, just a wee bit of dry skin. No biggie. Nothing that a little blood of a virgin wouldn't cure.

11:04am Official Board 7 Year Old:

haha personal dooties

11:04am Pete Townshend:

11:05am Michelle in Green Bay:

Aw, shucks...thanks for the welcome, OOIFOFO!

11:07am DJ Poop Tracks:

Any side of Tales from Topographic Oceans. 18 to 22 minutes.

11:08am OOIFOFO:

11:08am Mark:

11:09am OOIFOFO:

11:10am OOIFOFO:

11:10am DJ Poop Tracks:

Which weird guitar solo in the first part? There are so many 0:-)

11:12am Ken:

Make a few more Yes references, DJ Poop Tracks, and I'll have to ban you.

11:13am DJ Poop Tracks:

No prob, I'll change to The Eagles now.

11:14am Ken:

Cool. What's your favorite live Eagles track?

11:15am SF Steve:

Carouselambra, 10:34

11:15am DJ Poop Tracks:

Any one I don't have to listen to. That's a question for Andy, no?

11:16am OOIFOFO:

DJ Poop Tracks
Oh shit- I mean to say that I luv a guitar solo that comes in a weird context of a song. Hold on, lemme double check.

11:16am Sam:

You can check out any time you like, but when can you leave???
NEVER!!!!!

11:17am gecko:

FOR SUMAC RELIEF - niacin. Not the "flush free,' but the real stuff (nicotinic acid). You want the flushing, which is a histamine reaction. It swamps the sumac. I use it for mosquito bites. Start with 250 mg; if that's too weak, try 500 mg. Bonus: if you use 1000 mg/day, it helps your cholesterol.

11:17am DJ Poop Tracks:

Ixnay, enKay anBay!

11:17am OOIFOFO:

DJ Poop Tracks:
The Ancient (Giants Under the Sun).

11:18am lee:

11:18am Mark:

11:19am non-pharma:

11:20am DJ Poop Tracks:

11:21am Ken:

I was a proghead for 2 months in 1977, but I NEVER liked YES!

11:21am Vivian:

11:21am DJ Poop Tracks:

11:22am lee:

11:24am Ken:

Lee, that's the whole problem!

11:25am Michelle in Green Bay:

Oh, SNAP, Ken.

Prog is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic.

11:25am lee:

11:25am OOIFOFO:

The problem with Prog is that it doesn't progress.

11:25am Chick Corea:

Return to Forever. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

11:26am Jon Anderson:

All your track are belong to us.

11:27am OOIFOFO:

I have the feeling that this is the time when finally a courageous WFMU DJ plays for the very first time a huge Rick Wakeman solo ! go ken! no fear!

11:28am spyros:

11:28am AM Listener circa 1970:

11:31am And...:

Ken is getting closer and closer to NO.

11:31am Abby Normal:

That's not my brain.

11:34am OOIFOFO:

Actually, i'd love NOT to ever never listen to any prog here in here! And not, this is not reverse psychology! I really mean it! Prog sucks! Specially YES

11:35am Dan B From Upstate:

Bennett4Senate played a 21 minute version of "I feel love" a little ways back.

Let's not forget Magma, the greatest French prog band ever

11:38am OOIFOFO:

The only good thing left from the Prog years is Robert Wyatt.

11:41am Nathan:

11:44am OOIFOFO:

11:45am Carmichael:

Then ther was Nektar.

11:45am Ken:

Be careful what you wish for, motherfucker.

11:46am Dan B From Upstate:

There is no google. There is only Zeuhl.

11:46am Suggestible:

I wanna fuck someone's mother.

11:46am Carmichael:

I believe that's "mofo", Ken. At least to the jive-speaking hipsters I party with.

11:48am Detroit Mac:

Somehow I am still here! Now to get caught up with the comment stream!

11:49am lil Suzy:

11:58am Lou:
