	12:40pm annie: this is superlative: classic and one-of-a-kind. Boris karloff, cyril richard, and celeste holm sing mother goose: www.youtube.com...
	12:41pm Uncle Michael: ooooh!

	12:46pm coelacanth: greetings Uncle M! 'just here for a minute, unfortunately.
	12:48pm Webhamster Henry: There is also the great Cyril Richard, Stanley Holloway, and Bea Lillie doing Lear and Carroll nonsense. The Dong with the Luminous Nose is strangely affecting.
	12:50pm Lewis: Speaking of Baseball... Looks like the Twins are setting up for a record breaking season!
	12:50pm annie: oh webhamster henry!!! thank you, that's new to me. !!
	12:51pm coelacanth: no, my team's the best! (i just haven't chosen a team yet.)
	12:54pm Uncle Michael: I don't follow the T___s.
	12:54pm Webhamster Henry: Cyril Richard reads (and sings) the complete Alice in Wonderland, music by Alec Wilder.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: (ain't no win in that team)
	12:56pm JP from KC: My AL team was best last season. And I've got high hopes for my NL team this time around. Even if they are sans Schwarber for the rest of the year.
	12:57pm annie: there was SO much great children's recording.. what a treasure trove. i think the last of the great kid stuff was Kidsongs from the 80s. political correctness killed the fun.
	12:58pm JP from KC: Which reminds me, I'm lovin' the show, UM, but my Cubbies play at 1:20(central), so I will have to catch the rest on the archive.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: JP! How's the weather...downtown?
	12:59pm JP from KC: Hot as balls! someone's turned the heat on. Even though it's like 75 degrees already.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: JP, you think I'm missing the Cubs' first day game at Wrigley this year. I have my tablet at my elbow.
	1:00pm ndbob: My mom once found a children's LP "Daydreaming for Children" I think - parts of it were really demented - all about career choices - but some gave the worst possible reasons such as being a lifeguard so you can rescue a rich girl who will have to marry you, being a dentist to sadistically inflict pain - totally crazy
	1:02pm JP from KC: Ha! Same here. I heard you mention the Cubs, but stepped out and didn't catch whether you were for, or against. Glad to know there's another Chi-town loyalist this far west of the Mississippi!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Raised there, JP. Heading there for a D-Backs series in June.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Bob, I want that record!
	1:04pm JP from KC: I'm jealous. I was born there, but my family moved when I was about 4 years old. I've been wanting to see a game in the friendly confines since I was a wee tot.
	1:05pm ndbob: @UM let me check online now - I haven't looked for ages - on a very mainstream kids label.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I moved to Chicago when I was eight. My parents were pretty cool.
	1:07pm listener james from westwood: Damn fine Schoolly here!
	1:10pm davefromtoronto: am i too white to know what "am i black enough for you" means?
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: Love a good sample sandwich. Also love hearing samples' sources. Still remember getting knocked on my ass when some FMU DJ played the source for the main loop of "Mama Said Knock You Out." He did!
	1:17pm V Priceless: Super Cooper track - Mike Bruce on lead vox and piana!
	1:18pm JP from KC: I think this is the second time I've heard this track, (the first was also on FMU, if I'm not mistaken) and it's quickly becoming my favorite Alice tune.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Of course it is!
	1:19pm annie: ...and to think it's those early recordings for kids which shaped our delicate brains...
	1:20pm ndbob: @UM hard to believe but it's actually online with mp3 links - some songs are ordinary, but some... taylorjessen.blogspot.com...
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Wow, thanks Bob.
	1:21pm ndbob: @UM yw
	1:21pm Mhinca: UM wow love the alice cooper/ray davies cross. Big fan of both but somehow missed this. Thx as always for the great 'radio' (im nowhere near KS)
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Bless the Internet, Mhinca! And as corrected by VP, we can thank Michael Bruce for that track.
	1:28pm V Priceless: for those who may have missed it, Alice Cooper's almost-forgotten 'Easy Action' record (the band's 2nd) is excellent and adventurous...as much as David Briggs hated producing it, there are some genuine pre- "Love It To Death" gems contained within....
	1:29pm Unclear on the concept: Somehow this Hot Chocolate song brings me down.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I love Easy Action. Why did Briggs have trouble with it?
	1:29pm JP from KC: Thanks, VP! I know it's definitely on my list of albums to look into!
	1:31pm Mhinca: VP - thx! Yet another gem that i 'need' to add to my (dont laugh at the dinosaur) CD collection.
	1:36pm V Priceless: @ UM - for some reason, he just did not take to the Cooper's brand of crazy, post-hippie freak-out hard rock & roll....he thought they were nuts, as no doubt many did back then - as per DD's autobio. Love Joe Jackson - woo!
	1:40pm JP from KC: I have to say, UM, I'm particularly enjoying all the Lalo Schifrin behind you today. Haven't seen Cool Hand Luke in a while. I may need to revisit it sometime soon.
	1:41pm Lewis: UNLESSS, you are a regular listener to Hinky Dinky time! (I like the new rule)
	1:42pm V Priceless: haha...so true, Uncle M! Re: The Davies bros...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: hey Lewis!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Thanks JP. Lalo is good.
	1:47pm Tate: Listenin as a good pre game to Cubbies today
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Tate, JP is another Royals/Cubs guy.
	1:48pm JP from KC: And another Cubs fan enters the conversation! Welcome, Tate. You're in good company!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Tate's an old friend.
	1:50pm Tate: good to know. My mother in law is staying with us and is a big Cubbies fans. Andre Dawson is her favorite
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Love the Hawk.
	1:52pm JP from KC: Fabulous! I'm glad I dropped in today, then. Been a Cubbies fan from from a young age, and couldn't help but jump on the Royals bandwagon after the '14 season.
	1:52pm listener james from westwood: Very weird, I was just thinking of Nilsson earlier in the show. Wish I could say during which track. There are no coincidences!
	1:52pm Tate: i took her to see him play at the celebrity all star game in KC to say the least... I'm thefavorite son in law of the 4
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: been due for some Harry.
	2:01pm still b/p: I wondered if the album title Easy Action was taken from a line in West Side Story, from the early part of the "Cool" number. Wiki says it is. Alice stuffed all kinds of damn things and themes into his later over-the-top concert production numbers. Surprised there wasn't some Shark vs. Jets rumbly biz, too, in the line-up of mummery and hash.
	2:05pm JP from KC: Well folks, It's been lovely, but I must run. much to do, and of course, there are the Cubs. Great show Uncle M!
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks JP...Go Cubs. still b/p: YES.
	2:06pm Gaylord Fields: You play Charlie Rich, and I come running!
	2:06pm Matt in Nebraska: I actually remember being bounced on Charlie Rich's lap when I was about 3 or 4.
	2:08pm K Wilde: UM - you always play my absolute favorite songs
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord! Matt! Wow. K! Thank you!
	🛒 2:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Allo all! Beautiful day in the borough of churches & hipsters, too. Had to extract myself from the backyard( connected by Bluetooth) to check in. Nothin' like UV rays & UM streams!
	2:09pm Lane Gray: Love Ira and Charlie
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Hi! Lane...right?
	2:10pm V Priceless: @ still b/p: see this AC clip from In Concert, '72, filmed live at The Hofstra Playhouse, Hempstead, NY, for "Gutter Cat Vs. The Jets" - I lived down the street from the campus and never even knew this was happening - d'oh! www.youtube.com...
	2:10pm Lane Gray: I'm a bit behind. Not going to hit the catch up button. Love both Louvins and Faron
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Lane, don't listen to the next song.
	2:11pm K Wilde: I love this video. I imagine Ira smashed his mandolin into 100 pieces immediately after the performance and then spent the next 2 days painstakingly reassembling it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWp7MGY3II4
	2:12pm Pedro G.: The Merle show last week was masterful. Missed it live and I still have about an hour left but it's a keeper and a fine tribute to the man himself.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: I interviewed Charlie Louvin (on the phone) about eight years ago. He was a complete gentleman, despite warnings from friends who had prior contact with him that he wasn't exactly the most enlightened person when it came to certain social matters.
	2:13pm Lane Gray: I love Curless, too.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Pedro. Good to hear, Gaylord.
	2:13pm listener james from westwood: Curless pronounces "potatoes" the way my mom's dad did!
	2:13pm Lizardner Dave: "Batatas"? I thought this was Stompin' Tom singing Bud the Spud for a minute.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: On the other hand, if Ira was alive and I was interviewing him, he would have found a way to punch my face through the phone wires.
	2:14pm Lane Gray: And I'm nowhere near Haynesville
	2:17pm Lane Gray: Love to hear Moon.
	2:19pm Lane Gray: I wonder if he'd have ridden the Roan if he hadn't removed the restrictor plate...
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: First NASCAR jargon in an HDT comment...ever.
	2:20pm Gaylord Fields: "He's about the worst WHAT?! I've seen on the range???"
	2:21pm still b/p: @V Priceless -- Thanks, I forgot about that song. And as for that stage number, fun to see fellers a'fightin' in low-rise glam-rock pants, and ahhh, the simplicity of a show that required a few trailer trucks less than when I saw him about five years later.
	2:21pm Gaylord Fields: Oh, "bucker" — never mind.
	2:25pm V Priceless: @ b/p - yer welcome - low-rise glam pants 4evr!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I never did have the figure for those trousers.
	2:28pm Parq: Always a pleasure to walk back into the room and hear Fairport.
	2:30pm annie: i'm still here, just doing some small chores..
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: that seems reasonable, Annie.
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Remember when the local ABC news affiliate in NYC used music from Cool Hand Luke as its intro and re-join audio? No matter how many times I heard it, I did a double-take.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: My favorite jazz vocalist of her generation...by far.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Doug, that was WIDELY used for that purpose.
	2:36pm annie: shades of abbey lincoln
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: What it is.
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc, Thanks for the Sandy & FC. Never heard that one. @ Annie. I'm sure you do small chores with greatness!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:38pm Doug Schulkind: At least it wan't W I D E L Y used. That would have been excessive.
	2:39pm Lane Gray: Someone was listening to the Alabama Wild Man
	2:39pm annie: kevin, i'm the queen of multi-tasking
	2:40pm Lane Gray: Is that Crawford on steel?
	🛒 2:41pm KevinfromBayRidge: And I'm the king of procrastination. One thing at a time!
	2:42pm annie: i really have to finish this ONE thing... hehe.. yep..no matter how long it takes, dammit!
	2:46pm Doug Schulkind: Headlines Uncle Michael does NOT want to see: This is on MLB.com right now: KEVIN COSTNER WANTS TO MAKE ONE LAST BASEBALL MOVIE, PROBABLY ABOUT THE CUBS
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Ew.
	2:48pm still b/p: Dances With Woe.
	2:49pm annie: har!!! ^
	🛒 2:49pm KevinfromBayRidge: If yer lucky it might be another "Frequency"
	2:50pm Uncle Michael: Dances With Gloves
	2:50pm Lane Gray: A Wrigley Runs Through It
	2:51pm Doug Schulkind: The Jimmy Qualls Story
	🛒 2:52pm Brian in UK: Belated hello Uncle. Busy day. Good weekend everyone.
	2:52pm Jeff Golick: No Way In (to the World Series)
	2:52pm Parq: No Way Out of Regular-Season Play.
	2:53pm Parq: Rats, Jeff beat me to it.
	2:53pm Uncle Michael: Hiya Brian!
	2:54pm Jeff Golick: The Untouchable: The Steve Bartman Story
	2:54pm Gaylord Fields: Robin Ventura: Prince of Third
	2:55pm Gaylord Fields: ...because at least the White Sox finally made it!
	2:55pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: Ooooh, that's a good one, @Gaylord.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! I have one promise to fulfill.
	2:56pm still b/p: JFKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
	2:56pm annie: nancy!!!
	2:57pm Gaylord Fields: The Bartman
	2:57pm V Priceless: thanx for a fun show, Uncle M! Cheers all...
	2:58pm Gaylord Fields: 3000 Miles to Mark Graceland
	2:58pm Doug Schulkind: Leon Durham
	2:58pm Uncle Michael: Yuck it up, guys.
	2:58pm annie: ok, so.... i just LOVE this song... chris pahud sings it too..
	2:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Doug Schulking: Tee-hee-hee!

Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 15, 2016

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:54pm Uncle Michael: I don't follow the T___s.
	12:54pm Webhamster Henry: Cyril Richard reads (and sings) the complete Alice in Wonderland, music by Alec Wilder.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: (ain't no win in that team)
	12:56pm JP from KC: My AL team was best last season. And I've got high hopes for my NL team this time around. Even if they are sans Schwarber for the rest of the year.
	12:57pm annie: there was SO much great children's recording.. what a treasure trove. i think the last of the great kid stuff was Kidsongs from the 80s. political correctness killed the fun.
	12:58pm JP from KC: Which reminds me, I'm lovin' the show, UM, but my Cubbies play at 1:20(central), so I will have to catch the rest on the archive.
	12:58pm Uncle Michael: JP! How's the weather...downtown?
	12:59pm JP from KC: Hot as balls! someone's turned the heat on. Even though it's like 75 degrees already.
	12:59pm Uncle Michael: JP, you think I'm missing the Cubs' first day game at Wrigley this year. I have my tablet at my elbow.
	1:00pm ndbob: My mom once found a children's LP "Daydreaming for Children" I think - parts of it were really demented - all about career choices - but some gave the worst possible reasons such as being a lifeguard so you can rescue a rich girl who will have to marry you, being a dentist to sadistically inflict pain - totally crazy
	1:02pm JP from KC: Ha! Same here. I heard you mention the Cubs, but stepped out and didn't catch whether you were for, or against. Glad to know there's another Chi-town loyalist this far west of the Mississippi!
	1:02pm Uncle Michael: Raised there, JP. Heading there for a D-Backs series in June.
	1:03pm Uncle Michael: Bob, I want that record!
	1:04pm JP from KC: I'm jealous. I was born there, but my family moved when I was about 4 years old. I've been wanting to see a game in the friendly confines since I was a wee tot.
	1:05pm ndbob: @UM let me check online now - I haven't looked for ages - on a very mainstream kids label.
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks Bob. I moved to Chicago when I was eight. My parents were pretty cool.
	1:07pm listener james from westwood: Damn fine Schoolly here!
	1:10pm davefromtoronto: am i too white to know what "am i black enough for you" means?
	1:14pm listener james from westwood: Love a good sample sandwich. Also love hearing samples' sources. Still remember getting knocked on my ass when some FMU DJ played the source for the main loop of "Mama Said Knock You Out." He did!
	1:17pm V Priceless: Super Cooper track - Mike Bruce on lead vox and piana!
	1:18pm JP from KC: I think this is the second time I've heard this track, (the first was also on FMU, if I'm not mistaken) and it's quickly becoming my favorite Alice tune.
	1:18pm Uncle Michael: Of course it is!
	1:19pm annie: ...and to think it's those early recordings for kids which shaped our delicate brains...
	1:20pm ndbob: @UM hard to believe but it's actually online with mp3 links - some songs are ordinary, but some... taylorjessen.blogspot.com...
	1:20pm Uncle Michael: Wow, thanks Bob.
	1:21pm ndbob: @UM yw
	1:21pm Mhinca: UM wow love the alice cooper/ray davies cross. Big fan of both but somehow missed this. Thx as always for the great 'radio' (im nowhere near KS)
	1:22pm Uncle Michael: Bless the Internet, Mhinca! And as corrected by VP, we can thank Michael Bruce for that track.
	1:28pm V Priceless: for those who may have missed it, Alice Cooper's almost-forgotten 'Easy Action' record (the band's 2nd) is excellent and adventurous...as much as David Briggs hated producing it, there are some genuine pre- "Love It To Death" gems contained within....
	1:29pm Unclear on the concept: Somehow this Hot Chocolate song brings me down.
	1:29pm Uncle Michael: I love Easy Action. Why did Briggs have trouble with it?
	1:29pm JP from KC: Thanks, VP! I know it's definitely on my list of albums to look into!
	1:31pm Mhinca: VP - thx! Yet another gem that i 'need' to add to my (dont laugh at the dinosaur) CD collection.
	1:36pm V Priceless: @ UM - for some reason, he just did not take to the Cooper's brand of crazy, post-hippie freak-out hard rock & roll....he thought they were nuts, as no doubt many did back then - as per DD's autobio. Love Joe Jackson - woo!
	1:40pm JP from KC: I have to say, UM, I'm particularly enjoying all the Lalo Schifrin behind you today. Haven't seen Cool Hand Luke in a while. I may need to revisit it sometime soon.
	1:41pm Lewis: UNLESSS, you are a regular listener to Hinky Dinky time! (I like the new rule)
	1:42pm V Priceless: haha...so true, Uncle M! Re: The Davies bros...
	1:43pm Uncle Michael: hey Lewis!
	1:45pm Uncle Michael: Thanks JP. Lalo is good.
	1:47pm Tate: Listenin as a good pre game to Cubbies today
	1:48pm Uncle Michael: Tate, JP is another Royals/Cubs guy.
	1:48pm JP from KC: And another Cubs fan enters the conversation! Welcome, Tate. You're in good company!
	1:49pm Uncle Michael: Tate's an old friend.
	1:50pm Tate: good to know. My mother in law is staying with us and is a big Cubbies fans. Andre Dawson is her favorite
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: Love the Hawk.
	1:52pm JP from KC: Fabulous! I'm glad I dropped in today, then. Been a Cubbies fan from from a young age, and couldn't help but jump on the Royals bandwagon after the '14 season.
	1:52pm listener james from westwood: Very weird, I was just thinking of Nilsson earlier in the show. Wish I could say during which track. There are no coincidences!
	1:52pm Tate: i took her to see him play at the celebrity all star game in KC to say the least... I'm thefavorite son in law of the 4
	1:53pm Uncle Michael: been due for some Harry.
	2:01pm still b/p: I wondered if the album title Easy Action was taken from a line in West Side Story, from the early part of the "Cool" number. Wiki says it is. Alice stuffed all kinds of damn things and themes into his later over-the-top concert production numbers. Surprised there wasn't some Shark vs. Jets rumbly biz, too, in the line-up of mummery and hash.
	2:05pm JP from KC: Well folks, It's been lovely, but I must run. much to do, and of course, there are the Cubs. Great show Uncle M!
	2:06pm Uncle Michael: Thanks JP...Go Cubs. still b/p: YES.
	2:06pm Gaylord Fields: You play Charlie Rich, and I come running!
	2:06pm Matt in Nebraska: I actually remember being bounced on Charlie Rich's lap when I was about 3 or 4.
	2:08pm K Wilde: UM - you always play my absolute favorite songs
	2:08pm Uncle Michael: Gaylord! Matt! Wow. K! Thank you!
	🛒 2:09pm KevinfromBayRidge: Allo all! Beautiful day in the borough of churches & hipsters, too. Had to extract myself from the backyard( connected by Bluetooth) to check in. Nothin' like UV rays & UM streams!
	2:09pm Lane Gray: Love Ira and Charlie
	2:10pm Uncle Michael: Kevin! Hi! Lane...right?
	2:10pm V Priceless: @ still b/p: see this AC clip from In Concert, '72, filmed live at The Hofstra Playhouse, Hempstead, NY, for "Gutter Cat Vs. The Jets" - I lived down the street from the campus and never even knew this was happening - d'oh! www.youtube.com...
	2:10pm Lane Gray: I'm a bit behind. Not going to hit the catch up button. Love both Louvins and Faron
	2:11pm Uncle Michael: Lane, don't listen to the next song.
	2:11pm K Wilde: I love this video. I imagine Ira smashed his mandolin into 100 pieces immediately after the performance and then spent the next 2 days painstakingly reassembling it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWp7MGY3II4
	2:12pm Pedro G.: The Merle show last week was masterful. Missed it live and I still have about an hour left but it's a keeper and a fine tribute to the man himself.
	2:12pm Gaylord Fields: I interviewed Charlie Louvin (on the phone) about eight years ago. He was a complete gentleman, despite warnings from friends who had prior contact with him that he wasn't exactly the most enlightened person when it came to certain social matters.
	2:13pm Lane Gray: I love Curless, too.
	2:13pm Uncle Michael: Thank you, Pedro. Good to hear, Gaylord.
	2:13pm listener james from westwood: Curless pronounces "potatoes" the way my mom's dad did!
	2:13pm Lizardner Dave: "Batatas"? I thought this was Stompin' Tom singing Bud the Spud for a minute.
	2:14pm Gaylord Fields: On the other hand, if Ira was alive and I was interviewing him, he would have found a way to punch my face through the phone wires.
	2:14pm Lane Gray: And I'm nowhere near Haynesville
	2:17pm Lane Gray: Love to hear Moon.
	2:19pm Lane Gray: I wonder if he'd have ridden the Roan if he hadn't removed the restrictor plate...
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: First NASCAR jargon in an HDT comment...ever.
	2:20pm Gaylord Fields: "He's about the worst WHAT?! I've seen on the range???"
	2:21pm still b/p: @V Priceless -- Thanks, I forgot about that song. And as for that stage number, fun to see fellers a'fightin' in low-rise glam-rock pants, and ahhh, the simplicity of a show that required a few trailer trucks less than when I saw him about five years later.
	2:21pm Gaylord Fields: Oh, "bucker" — never mind.
	2:25pm V Priceless: @ b/p - yer welcome - low-rise glam pants 4evr!
	2:27pm Uncle Michael: I never did have the figure for those trousers.

	2:30pm annie: i'm still here, just doing some small chores..
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: that seems reasonable, Annie.
	2:34pm Doug Schulkind: Remember when the local ABC news affiliate in NYC used music from Cool Hand Luke as its intro and re-join audio? No matter how many times I heard it, I did a double-take.
	2:34pm Uncle Michael: My favorite jazz vocalist of her generation...by far.
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: Doug, that was WIDELY used for that purpose.
	2:36pm annie: shades of abbey lincoln
	2:38pm Jeff Golick: What it is.
	🛒 2:38pm KevinfromBayRidge: Unc, Thanks for the Sandy & FC. Never heard that one. @ Annie. I'm sure you do small chores with greatness!
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: Jeff!
	2:38pm Doug Schulkind: At least it wan't W I D E L Y used. That would have been excessive.
	2:39pm Lane Gray: Someone was listening to the Alabama Wild Man
	2:39pm annie: kevin, i'm the queen of multi-tasking
	2:40pm Lane Gray: Is that Crawford on steel?
	🛒 2:41pm KevinfromBayRidge: And I'm the king of procrastination. One thing at a time!
	2:42pm annie: i really have to finish this ONE thing... hehe.. yep..no matter how long it takes, dammit!
	2:46pm Doug Schulkind: Headlines Uncle Michael does NOT want to see: This is on MLB.com right now: KEVIN COSTNER WANTS TO MAKE ONE LAST BASEBALL MOVIE, PROBABLY ABOUT THE CUBS
	2:46pm Uncle Michael: Ew.
	2:48pm still b/p: Dances With Woe.

	2:54pm Jeff Golick: The Untouchable: The Steve Bartman Story
	2:54pm Gaylord Fields: Robin Ventura: Prince of Third
	2:55pm Gaylord Fields: ...because at least the White Sox finally made it!
	2:55pm ndbob: excellent show UM!
	2:55pm Jeff Golick: Ooooh, that's a good one, @Gaylord.
	2:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks! I have one promise to fulfill.
