	3:09pm Sem Chumbo: Skirl away, Fabio. Good afternoon, and hello to the Strengthened here gathered.
	3:11pm βrian: Not to be confused with the spray-on product, Skirl-Away!
	👻 3:12pm JtotheK: hi everyone.
	3:15pm very nice: very nice
	3:15pm βrian: I'm embracing the skirl-wind.
	3:16pm Sem Chumbo: So long as it nay gets in the way of yer sporran, laddie.
	3:17pm Cliff: This is what Sheila B. should play at the start of her show
	3:18pm Skrillix: Huh? What now?
	3:18pm βrian: Cliff, I knew you would hear the call of the pipes!
	3:19pm Cliff: I must celebrate my Scottish heritage
	3:20pm βrian: Is that a pickle in your sporran?
	3:21pm Cliff: And I must celebrate my Irish heritage too, by drinking Spirits made from The Blessed Potato
	3:22pm fleep: Haggis, anyone?
	3:22pm Sem Chumbo: Does it come with wafers?
	3:22pm Cliff: gulp Ahhhhhhhhhh
	3:23pm bloopy: sup fabiosi
	3:24pm βrian: What, exactly, does haggis entrail?
	3:26pm fleep: It takes guts.
	👻 3:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Arrgh...I need to take a break. I can't stomach this conversation any longer.
	3:29pm Cliff: Guys, quit posting all this tripe.
	3:30pm Dean: Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis
	3:32pm Cliff: Rabbie, is that yew?!
	3:33pm Dean: Great band name: French Ragout.
	3:38pm sphere: hello hello.
	3:40pm geezerette: Definitely not hungry.
	3:45pm geezerette: or maybe an order of cobras in a basket...with waffles.
	3:47pm Cliff: I like waffles
	3:47pm Cliff: Belgium invented french fries, but not the Belgian waffle
	3:48pm Dean: The Brussels sprout?
	👻 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Or for those among us fond of protected ocean species for breakfast, there's the belugian waffle...
	3:50pm Dean: Flemish mucous?
	3:50pm Cecile: holaaa
	3:53pm Cliff: Ahoy Cecile, name your favorite European country and foodstuff
	3:55pm Cecile: Hum. I'll say Finland and pickled eggs.
	3:55pm geezerette: Dean,yuck!(in lieu of taking the time to represent throat clearing typographically). Cliff,French toast invented in the YOO Esssssss of A!
	3:56pm βrian: Pain Perdu is essentially the same thing, though.
	3:56pm Cecile: actually, the French have the same thing, but they call it, correct me if I'm wrong, pain perdu (lost bread)?
	3:56pm geezerette: Cecile, with a side of head cheese. :)
	3:56pm Cecile: hahahahha, brian, high five!
	3:57pm Cliff: I visited some friends in Austin once, and at the hotel breakfast they had a waffle iron in the shape of Texas
	3:57pm Cecile: geezerette, I was this close to getting sour headcheese at a local Ukrainian deli.
	3:57pm geezerette: Brian & Cecile,DAMN!
	3:57pm βrian: You sure that wasn't an offal iron?
	3:58pm Cecile: Headcheese with pickle chunks! how good is that?
	3:58pm geezerette: Sour on purpose?
	3:59pm geezerette: Cecile, not very!
	3:59pm Cecile: yeah. They have hot, sour and plain. it's all yummy, but not as good as my ma-in-law's which I'll probably never have again because she had a stroke. And she's 94.
	3:59pm βrian: "You'd better quiet down in there, or you're getting head cheese for dinner! And I mean it!"
	4:00pm Cliff: Well it was awful idea for a waffle iron.
	4:00pm Cecile: It really is yummy and savory if you are into offbeat charcuterie.
	4:01pm Cecile: which I am. I think my ancestors are descended from black bears or something. We'll eat pretty much anything and have iron stomachs.
	4:03pm Cliff: Cecile, have you ever tried that Finnish licorice that is flavored with ammonium chloride?
	4:04pm geezerette: Cecile, quick, get her recipe! I have a friend whose family were Czech and can live entirely on lard if they like.
	4:05pm Cecile: salty licorice? I used to really like it. Now, that I've got a little older, it's just too strong.
	4:05pm Cecile: I know, right, geez?
	4:06pm Cecile: I like fennel and chervil flavors better. Still licorice-y, but not so much.
	4:06pm geezerette: Cliff I've had that,it's kinda great/hideous. Really like the salty Dutch kind.
	4:07pm βrian: Braised fennel salad with orange. Mmm.
	4:07pm Cecile: that's exactly it. It's just on the verge of pain, but not quite.
	4:07pm geezerette: oooh,Brian,yum. :)
	4:08pm Cliff: Yeah, it's too strong for me too.... how about Hákarl? (fermented shark meat from Iceland) That was an interesting experience for me, heheh
	4:08pm Cecile: yeah, it's about 80 years ahead of its time.
	4:08pm Cecile: I am never going to try that.
	4:09pm Cliff: Coltrane was channeling something divine in his last years, that's for sure
	4:09pm geezerette: The Cosmos and fetid shark...I LOVE you guys!
	4:10pm Cecile: my friend might order some just to say he ate it. He and I once shared a duck foot web and sea cucumber stri-fry, or "teeth from combs and rubber bands". that was damn inedible.
	4:10pm Cliff: Cecile it's not actually that bad, the closest thing I think it's like is sashimi with a lot of wasabi, but with a strong ammonia aftertaste. Really clears out the sinuses! Best enjoyed with their version of schnapps known as Black Death.
	4:11pm βrian: I think it's the south of France for me, food-wise. Bouillabaisse, pissaladière, tomates provençales, fresh thyme, rosemary, etc. With a nice try rosé ... Ach. Bliss.
	4:11pm Cecile: I'll pass, I think.
	4:12pm Cliff: βrian that's wussy food. No Viking worth his name would bother with any of that crap. More shark and Black Death! bangs table
	4:12pm βrian: Eh, "dry" rosé.
	4:13pm Dean: Bandol, baby.
	4:13pm Cecile: Only Icelandic Vikings ate that stuff. The rest were smart enough to go back to semi-arable lands.
	4:14pm Cliff: And a fistful of Slátur! (blood cake)
	4:14pm βrian: @Dean: Domaine de Tempier, specifically. Loves me that Mourvèdre!
	4:15pm Dean: Hell, yes. A wonderful wine, DT. Do you know Lydia's cookbook?
	4:15pm Cliff: Well la-dee-fricking-dah, βrian & Dean. Now I'm gonna go off and smite some trolls.
	4:16pm Dean: "La-dee-fricking-dah"? Is that Scottish?
	4:16pm βrian: Lydia?
	4:17pm Cliff: By way of Syracuse. Ya gotta problem widdat?!
	4:17pm Cecile: Lydia oh, the lady who makes the pasta on TV? Bastianich?
	4:17pm geezerette: Brian, pissaladiere is one form of heaven. This music is another. :D
	4:18pm Dean: Oops. I meant Lulu: http://www.amazon.com/Lulus-Provencal-Table-Exuberant-Vineyard/dp/1580084001 Probably confused with Bastianich.
	4:21pm βrian: Lulu. Wow, I'd let her be my culinary benefactor!
	4:22pm JP from KC: "The Alps" just makes me think of one of my favorite moments in TV censorship: I was watching "The Big Lebowski" on TBS, or some such station, and they changed Walter's line from "This is what you get when you fuck a stranger in the ass," to "This is what you get when you fool a stranger in the alps." Cracks me up every time.
	👻 4:22pm chris: there are so many great food regions in the world, but if i had to choose one for the rest of my life, it might be north eastern italy.
	👻 4:24pm chris: i like the idea of goodman saying, "fool a stranger in the alps." that's hilarious.
	4:24pm Dean: I always hear Zapp & Roger's "More Bounce to the Ounce" as "Boardwalk through the Alps."
	4:24pm βrian: Isn't that where those crazy Friulians live?
	👻 4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alas, they announced that Prince died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, an opioid painkiller.
	👻 4:25pm chris: you can spot em comin'... but they bring yummy white wine...
	4:26pm βrian: One has to drink many bottles. Just to be polite, I mean.
	👻 4:27pm chris: there was a bunch of black market pills going around Sacto, recently, i believe... were supposed to be oxy, but had fentanyl (like 10 times as strong0. killed some folks... the war on drugs kills lots of folks every year...
	4:28pm JP from KC: Another classic TV edit: "I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday Plane!" -Samuel L. Jackson
	4:29pm Cecile: oh, finland isn't my favorite European food region. It's a tie between Italy and France.
	👻 4:30pm chris: monkey-fighting snakes are the worst!
	4:31pm Dean: Television broadcasts of "Blazing Saddles" change the name of Lily von Schtupp in the spoken dialogue, but a poster announcing her performance spells it out anyway.
	4:32pm Cliff: You can't even say schtupp on the air?! Jeeez Louise
	4:32pm Lulu: cool song, Fab!
	4:32pm geezerette: South of France for me;great food,people,everything!
	4:32pm βrian: @Dean: I suppose we could talk about bean dishes now.
	👻 4:33pm chris: i have to get there one of these days... i hear its Nice (hahahahahahaha) #sorry
	4:33pm JP from KC: I've never dared watch TV broadcasts of Blazing Saddles. Half the damn movie must be dialogue edits and sloppy recutting. I bet it's half as long as the feature length, when all is said and done.
	4:34pm βrian: I love what Fabio's serving up, by the way.
	4:35pm Dean: Flageolets!
	👻 4:35pm chris: moi aussie, βrian
	4:36pm Cliff: The line from Blazing Saddles that always cracks me up is, "Alright, we'll give land to the ****s and the ***s....but WE DON'T WANT THE IRISH!!!"
	4:37pm Cliff: (And with that, it's time for another shot of Spirits From The Blessed Potato)
	4:37pm Dean: Cliff, I find myself reciting that line every other month or so. It has to have been a Richard Pryor contribution.
	4:38pm geezerette: Fabio keep going,this is all wonderful.
	4:38pm Cliff: According to Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor wrote all of the Mongo jokes. He loved that guy so much.
	4:39pm geezerette: Cheers Cliff. Here's mud in yer eye!
	4:39pm Cliff: Yeah Fabio, this is amazing!
	4:39pm βrian: I always figured they were eating cassoulet in that Blazing Saddles campfire scene.
	4:40pm geezerette: Brian,DUDE!
	4:41pm Dean: My 10YO watched the movie a couple times recently. A radio station playing a Mongo Santamaria tune gave me an opportunity to explain the joke to him. Other stuff in the movie...I hesitate to explain just now.
	4:41pm Cliff: Dean - on the IMDb comments board for Blazing Saddles, there's a guy who says he went to a showing of it in London when it came out, and that line was the one that brought the entire house down :D
	4:41pm TR In MI: "Mongo only pawn in game of life"
	4:43pm Lulu: yaaaaaaaaas
	4:43pm Dean: "Candygram for Mongo! Candygram for Mongo!" "Mongo like candy!"
	4:44pm JP from KC: Oh, Don't shoot him. You'll just make him angry.
	4:44pm geezerette: Dean,haha! love that scene!
	4:45pm Cliff: "Uh-oh, Bart, I think Mongo here's taken a real liking to you..." "NUH-UNH! MONGO STRAIGHT!!!"
	4:45pm JP from KC: Anytime someone is searching for change for the parking meters, I can't help but think/say "SOMEBODY'S GOTTA GO BACK AND GET A SHITLOAD OF DIMES!"
	4:45pm geezerette: :D!!!
	4:46pm Michael 98145: jeez, i step away for a few minutes and return to find you're talking about Brennivín and fellatio ...
	4:47pm βrian: Huh, and it was the "Petomane thruway." Now that's funny.
	4:48pm Cliff: "Schwartzes!"
	4:49pm JP from KC: "Are we awake?" "That depends... Are we black?" "Yes we are." "Then we're awake... but we're very puzzled..."
	4:49pm geezerette: Blazing saddles is like a live action Bugs Bunny cartoon.
	4:50pm geezerette: oops,the saucer is landing.
	4:50pm Cliff: Hence the candygram bit.
	4:50pm geezerette: Exactly!
	4:50pm βrian: Only the bunny ears were missing.
	4:51pm Dean: Le Petomane! Blazing Saddles scratches all the itches for me. I have a hard time watching movies at all, but I can always make time for BS.
	4:51pm βrian: Why isn't Fabio talking about food? I don't get it.
	4:54pm βrian: Remember, the 60s mostly happened during the 70s.
	4:55pm common: yo fabio and all!
	4:55pm Jeff: Or called "disgusting unamerican long-haired weird pinko commie pothead freaks".
	4:55pm geezerette: Dean,wish there was film of his act,rather that than time travel to an enclosed space with him!
	4:55pm V Priceless: hippie commie creeps!
	4:56pm Cliff: Jeff - that was Ken's show yesterday
	4:57pm Dean: geezerette: "his act"?
	👻 4:58pm chris: dammit, my long, successful avoidance of productivity must come to an end... thanks, Fabio! later, all!
	4:59pm Dean: Do you mean Richard Pryor? I've seen random YT stuff, but usually from TV.
	4:59pm geezerette: Yeah,he was in the French equivalent of Vaudeville,big star! Petomane.
	5:01pm Cliff: Yes, thank the gods for the French for inventing the profession of "flatulist"
	5:01pm Dean: Oh, right, Petomane. Yes, that would have been something to witness live.
	5:03pm Cliff: Must've been all that cassoulet they keep eating
	5:03pm Dean: Can't watch now, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rIXipAV6Fs
	5:04pm βrian: That was clearly before the era of Bic lighters.
	5:05pm Cliff: Le Petomane at the Moulin Rouge?! Oh man, oh man
	5:06pm Dean: See "What about gas? How do I reduce it?" here: http://www.ranchogordo.com/pages/faq-frequently-asked-questions
	5:06pm geezerette: Cliff,yeah. If you were really drunk it would be hilarious. Actually. kind of reminds me of Performance Art.
	5:06pm Cliff: When I finally get around to building my old-timey VR nickelodeon, that one's definitely going in there for sure
	5:07pm Dean: (Nice joke, βrian.)
	5:07pm βrian: I imagine they served absinthe at the Moulin Rouge. I haven't tried it.
	5:07pm geezerette: This sounds so Velvet Underground.
	5:08pm Cliff: I've been warned not to spend all my late nights in Prague drinking absinthe and smoking and doing other bad stuff, gets expensive
	5:10pm βrian: Yes, one needs to be prague-matic.
	5:10pm Cliff: I'm almost 40, I have allergies, and a Roth IRA that I want to start contributing to again, so it probably won't be a problem.
	5:12pm Dean: I'd refrain from contributing to any allergies, Cliff. Just my two cents.
	5:13pm Cliff: Just gotta stay away from penicillin, cats, bluegrass, and ragweed.
	5:14pm Dean: I'm allergic to some bluegrass, too, but maybe I'm making a category mistake.
	5:15pm Cliff: Actually I'm allergic to just about all country music EXCEPT bluegrass and honky-tonk.
	👻 5:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: NO CATS. NO CATS EVER. CATS BAD.
	5:17pm Cliff: I like the kitty-cats, I just can't pet them too much and have to wash my hands afterwards.
	5:18pm V Priceless: hey Fabio - FYI - Pere Ubu - "Co-Ed Jail Tour" end of the month @ Bowery Ballroom. All material from '75 to '82!
	5:19pm Cliff: Sometimes on acid trips when I close my eyes I'll see a giant glowing kitty face staring back at me.
	5:19pm TDK60: Just now getting into your Marathon premium CD, Fabio.
	5:20pm geezerette: Cheshire Cat :)
	5:22pm Cliff: Yep geezerette! When she sees me she usually closes her eyes slowly and then floats off into the fractal soup :D
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Marathon premium? WAH. Still awaiting me swaggie.
	5:23pm Cecile: me too
	5:25pm TDK60: Fab's CD is entitled 'Dream Sequence'. It's got a cool photo on the cover. Haven't delved into it much yet but sounds interesting.
	5:27pm JP from KC: @Cliff: When a cat looks at you and slowly closes its eyes, it is showing trust and affection. Apparently you've got an interdemensional feline friend looking out for you. That's good news.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The collection of premium CDs is getting to a point where I need a filing technique ... by year, or by DJ? Stashing 'em all under WFMU isn't going to cut it anymore.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Obsessive/compulsive tendencies demand filing techniques.
	5:30pm Cliff: Yep JP, I've heard that before from Jackson Galaxy, though he only works with cats in this dimension
	5:30pm Dean: Apply a principle of provenance, Rev. (Not the same as Provence.) Thus, DJ.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...humans all about this 'eye contact' - but fuzzies feel it's a bit of a challenge. Closey of eyesies...
	5:33pm JP from KC: I agree with Dean, Rev. You should go DJ. I just think it would be easier to keep track of as the years go on and you add to your collection.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sub-categories of FMU...Name, Chrono...
	5:37pm JP from KC: Arrange by DJ, then by year, in case you get the same DJ's premium during another marathon.
	5:38pm geezerette: Fabio,fabulous show. :D
	5:39pm Cliff: This Matériaux is nicely chunky and evocative
	5:40pm nic: love this
	5:43pm βrian: "Le temps passé avec un chat n'est jamais perdu."
	5:44pm Cliff: Bien sur
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheshire Cat: ...'If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there'...
	5:47pm dale: this stuff is phantastic
	5:47pm βrian: FIN
	5:48pm Cliff: Fabio this was a real trip, and I wasn't even on any drugs today
	5:49pm geezerette: RevRab,love Harrison.
	5:49pm Dean: Get it? The end? Finnish?
	5:50pm Cliff: Oh you guize, you slay me
	5:50pm dale: shitty day of painting and cleaning gutters and snaking a bathtub drain. this music and a gin are bliss to me.
	5:51pm dale: STRA-gedy.
	5:52pm nic: thx bye
	5:53pm dale: jim varney was always talking to his pal vern
	5:53pm βrian: Mayberry L.S.D.
	5:53pm JP from KC: I sometimes think there's a varnish of pot resin painted across my brain.
	5:54pm dale: i remember years ago saying clay sounded like flloyd the barber and fab cracked up.
	5:54pm common: great impression clay!
	5:55pm dale: brian - HAH! should be a thing.
	5:56pm dale: LLOYD LINDSEY YOUNG
	👻 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Jim Varney (RIP)? He played the Ernest character. Ernest Goes to Camp and other fine entertainment films. Also played the voice of Slinky the Dog in some of the Toy Story movies.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...try to explain this exceptionalness to a non-FMUvian...
	5:57pm Cliff: I think by this point the lysergamides have dug a permanent quantum tunnel from my 5-HT2a receptors to the infinite parallel dimensions interpenetrating the fabric of reality. Or something like that
	5:57pm Michael 98145: to the fractal soup
	5:58pm geezerette: OMG that makes sense.
	5:58pm Polyus: Didn't Jim Varney start out doing ads for some auto parts company? I swear that's where I first saw him. I was pretty young though.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...once you understand the laughter in the Sgt. Pepper locked groove - that's it forever...
	5:58pm Cliff: With the Cheshire cats
	5:59pm Cliff: See also: The Rockwell Retro Encabulator www.youtube.com...
	6:00pm geezerette: My cat only laughed behind my back but she definitely laughed.

	3:55pm geezerette: Dean,yuck!(in lieu of taking the time to represent throat clearing typographically). Cliff,French toast invented in the YOO Esssssss of A!
	3:56pm βrian: Pain Perdu is essentially the same thing, though.
	3:56pm Cecile: actually, the French have the same thing, but they call it, correct me if I'm wrong, pain perdu (lost bread)?
	3:56pm geezerette: Cecile, with a side of head cheese. :)
	3:56pm Cecile: hahahahha, brian, high five!
	3:57pm Cliff: I visited some friends in Austin once, and at the hotel breakfast they had a waffle iron in the shape of Texas
	3:57pm Cecile: geezerette, I was this close to getting sour headcheese at a local Ukrainian deli.
	3:57pm geezerette: Brian & Cecile,DAMN!
	3:57pm βrian: You sure that wasn't an offal iron?
	3:58pm Cecile: Headcheese with pickle chunks! how good is that?
	3:58pm geezerette: Sour on purpose?
	3:59pm geezerette: Cecile, not very!
	3:59pm Cecile: yeah. They have hot, sour and plain. it's all yummy, but not as good as my ma-in-law's which I'll probably never have again because she had a stroke. And she's 94.
	3:59pm βrian: "You'd better quiet down in there, or you're getting head cheese for dinner! And I mean it!"
	4:00pm Cliff: Well it was awful idea for a waffle iron.
	4:00pm Cecile: It really is yummy and savory if you are into offbeat charcuterie.
	4:01pm Cecile: which I am. I think my ancestors are descended from black bears or something. We'll eat pretty much anything and have iron stomachs.
	4:03pm Cliff: Cecile, have you ever tried that Finnish licorice that is flavored with ammonium chloride?
	4:04pm geezerette: Cecile, quick, get her recipe! I have a friend whose family were Czech and can live entirely on lard if they like.
	4:05pm Cecile: salty licorice? I used to really like it. Now, that I've got a little older, it's just too strong.
	4:05pm Cecile: I know, right, geez?
	4:06pm Cecile: I like fennel and chervil flavors better. Still licorice-y, but not so much.
	4:06pm geezerette: Cliff I've had that,it's kinda great/hideous. Really like the salty Dutch kind.
	4:07pm βrian: Braised fennel salad with orange. Mmm.
	4:07pm Cecile: that's exactly it. It's just on the verge of pain, but not quite.
	4:07pm geezerette: oooh,Brian,yum. :)
	4:08pm Cliff: Yeah, it's too strong for me too.... how about Hákarl? (fermented shark meat from Iceland) That was an interesting experience for me, heheh
	4:08pm Cecile: yeah, it's about 80 years ahead of its time.
	4:08pm Cecile: I am never going to try that.
	4:09pm Cliff: Coltrane was channeling something divine in his last years, that's for sure
	4:09pm geezerette: The Cosmos and fetid shark...I LOVE you guys!
	4:10pm Cecile: my friend might order some just to say he ate it. He and I once shared a duck foot web and sea cucumber stri-fry, or "teeth from combs and rubber bands". that was damn inedible.
	4:10pm Cliff: Cecile it's not actually that bad, the closest thing I think it's like is sashimi with a lot of wasabi, but with a strong ammonia aftertaste. Really clears out the sinuses! Best enjoyed with their version of schnapps known as Black Death.
	4:11pm βrian: I think it's the south of France for me, food-wise. Bouillabaisse, pissaladière, tomates provençales, fresh thyme, rosemary, etc. With a nice try rosé ... Ach. Bliss.
	4:11pm Cecile: I'll pass, I think.
	4:12pm Cliff: βrian that's wussy food. No Viking worth his name would bother with any of that crap. More shark and Black Death! bangs table
	4:12pm βrian: Eh, "dry" rosé.
	4:13pm Dean: Bandol, baby.
	4:13pm Cecile: Only Icelandic Vikings ate that stuff. The rest were smart enough to go back to semi-arable lands.
	4:14pm Cliff: And a fistful of Slátur! (blood cake)
	4:14pm βrian: @Dean: Domaine de Tempier, specifically. Loves me that Mourvèdre!
	4:15pm Dean: Hell, yes. A wonderful wine, DT. Do you know Lydia's cookbook?
	4:15pm Cliff: Well la-dee-fricking-dah, βrian & Dean. Now I'm gonna go off and smite some trolls.
	4:16pm Dean: "La-dee-fricking-dah"? Is that Scottish?
	4:16pm βrian: Lydia?
	4:17pm Cliff: By way of Syracuse. Ya gotta problem widdat?!
	4:17pm Cecile: Lydia oh, the lady who makes the pasta on TV? Bastianich?
	4:17pm geezerette: Brian, pissaladiere is one form of heaven. This music is another. :D
	4:18pm Dean: Oops. I meant Lulu: http://www.amazon.com/Lulus-Provencal-Table-Exuberant-Vineyard/dp/1580084001 Probably confused with Bastianich.
	4:21pm βrian: Lulu. Wow, I'd let her be my culinary benefactor!
	4:22pm JP from KC: "The Alps" just makes me think of one of my favorite moments in TV censorship: I was watching "The Big Lebowski" on TBS, or some such station, and they changed Walter's line from "This is what you get when you fuck a stranger in the ass," to "This is what you get when you fool a stranger in the alps." Cracks me up every time.
	👻 4:22pm chris: there are so many great food regions in the world, but if i had to choose one for the rest of my life, it might be north eastern italy.
	👻 4:24pm chris: i like the idea of goodman saying, "fool a stranger in the alps." that's hilarious.
	4:24pm Dean: I always hear Zapp & Roger's "More Bounce to the Ounce" as "Boardwalk through the Alps."
	4:24pm βrian: Isn't that where those crazy Friulians live?
	👻 4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Alas, they announced that Prince died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, an opioid painkiller.
	👻 4:25pm chris: you can spot em comin'... but they bring yummy white wine...
	4:26pm βrian: One has to drink many bottles. Just to be polite, I mean.
	👻 4:27pm chris: there was a bunch of black market pills going around Sacto, recently, i believe... were supposed to be oxy, but had fentanyl (like 10 times as strong0. killed some folks... the war on drugs kills lots of folks every year...
	4:28pm JP from KC: Another classic TV edit: "I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday Plane!" -Samuel L. Jackson
	4:29pm Cecile: oh, finland isn't my favorite European food region. It's a tie between Italy and France.
	👻 4:30pm chris: monkey-fighting snakes are the worst!
	4:31pm Dean: Television broadcasts of "Blazing Saddles" change the name of Lily von Schtupp in the spoken dialogue, but a poster announcing her performance spells it out anyway.
	4:32pm Cliff: You can't even say schtupp on the air?! Jeeez Louise
	4:32pm Lulu: cool song, Fab!
	4:32pm geezerette: South of France for me;great food,people,everything!
	4:32pm βrian: @Dean: I suppose we could talk about bean dishes now.
	👻 4:33pm chris: i have to get there one of these days... i hear its Nice (hahahahahahaha) #sorry
	4:33pm JP from KC: I've never dared watch TV broadcasts of Blazing Saddles. Half the damn movie must be dialogue edits and sloppy recutting. I bet it's half as long as the feature length, when all is said and done.
	4:34pm βrian: I love what Fabio's serving up, by the way.
	4:35pm Dean: Flageolets!
	👻 4:35pm chris: moi aussie, βrian
	4:36pm Cliff: The line from Blazing Saddles that always cracks me up is, "Alright, we'll give land to the ****s and the ***s....but WE DON'T WANT THE IRISH!!!"
	4:37pm Cliff: (And with that, it's time for another shot of Spirits From The Blessed Potato)
	4:37pm Dean: Cliff, I find myself reciting that line every other month or so. It has to have been a Richard Pryor contribution.
	4:38pm geezerette: Fabio keep going,this is all wonderful.
	4:38pm Cliff: According to Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor wrote all of the Mongo jokes. He loved that guy so much.
	4:39pm geezerette: Cheers Cliff. Here's mud in yer eye!
	4:39pm Cliff: Yeah Fabio, this is amazing!
	4:39pm βrian: I always figured they were eating cassoulet in that Blazing Saddles campfire scene.
	4:40pm geezerette: Brian,DUDE!
	4:41pm Dean: My 10YO watched the movie a couple times recently. A radio station playing a Mongo Santamaria tune gave me an opportunity to explain the joke to him. Other stuff in the movie...I hesitate to explain just now.
	4:41pm Cliff: Dean - on the IMDb comments board for Blazing Saddles, there's a guy who says he went to a showing of it in London when it came out, and that line was the one that brought the entire house down :D
	4:41pm TR In MI: "Mongo only pawn in game of life"
	4:43pm Lulu: yaaaaaaaaas
	4:43pm Dean: "Candygram for Mongo! Candygram for Mongo!" "Mongo like candy!"
	4:44pm JP from KC: Oh, Don't shoot him. You'll just make him angry.
	4:44pm geezerette: Dean,haha! love that scene!
	4:45pm Cliff: "Uh-oh, Bart, I think Mongo here's taken a real liking to you..." "NUH-UNH! MONGO STRAIGHT!!!"
	4:45pm JP from KC: Anytime someone is searching for change for the parking meters, I can't help but think/say "SOMEBODY'S GOTTA GO BACK AND GET A SHITLOAD OF DIMES!"
	4:45pm geezerette: :D!!!
	4:46pm Michael 98145: jeez, i step away for a few minutes and return to find you're talking about Brennivín and fellatio ...
	4:47pm βrian: Huh, and it was the "Petomane thruway." Now that's funny.
	4:48pm Cliff: "Schwartzes!"
	4:49pm JP from KC: "Are we awake?" "That depends... Are we black?" "Yes we are." "Then we're awake... but we're very puzzled..."
	4:49pm geezerette: Blazing saddles is like a live action Bugs Bunny cartoon.
	4:50pm geezerette: oops,the saucer is landing.
	4:50pm Cliff: Hence the candygram bit.
	4:50pm geezerette: Exactly!
	4:50pm βrian: Only the bunny ears were missing.
	4:51pm Dean: Le Petomane! Blazing Saddles scratches all the itches for me. I have a hard time watching movies at all, but I can always make time for BS.
	4:51pm βrian: Why isn't Fabio talking about food? I don't get it.
	4:54pm βrian: Remember, the 60s mostly happened during the 70s.
	4:55pm common: yo fabio and all!
	4:55pm Jeff: Or called "disgusting unamerican long-haired weird pinko commie pothead freaks".
	4:55pm geezerette: Dean,wish there was film of his act,rather that than time travel to an enclosed space with him!
	4:55pm V Priceless: hippie commie creeps!
	4:56pm Cliff: Jeff - that was Ken's show yesterday
	4:57pm Dean: geezerette: "his act"?
	👻 4:58pm chris: dammit, my long, successful avoidance of productivity must come to an end... thanks, Fabio! later, all!
	4:59pm Dean: Do you mean Richard Pryor? I've seen random YT stuff, but usually from TV.
	4:59pm geezerette: Yeah,he was in the French equivalent of Vaudeville,big star! Petomane.
	5:01pm Cliff: Yes, thank the gods for the French for inventing the profession of "flatulist"
	5:01pm Dean: Oh, right, Petomane. Yes, that would have been something to witness live.
	5:03pm Cliff: Must've been all that cassoulet they keep eating
	5:03pm Dean: Can't watch now, but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rIXipAV6Fs
	5:04pm βrian: That was clearly before the era of Bic lighters.
	5:05pm Cliff: Le Petomane at the Moulin Rouge?! Oh man, oh man
	5:06pm Dean: See "What about gas? How do I reduce it?" here: http://www.ranchogordo.com/pages/faq-frequently-asked-questions
	5:06pm geezerette: Cliff,yeah. If you were really drunk it would be hilarious. Actually. kind of reminds me of Performance Art.
	5:06pm Cliff: When I finally get around to building my old-timey VR nickelodeon, that one's definitely going in there for sure
	5:07pm Dean: (Nice joke, βrian.)
	5:07pm βrian: I imagine they served absinthe at the Moulin Rouge. I haven't tried it.
	5:07pm geezerette: This sounds so Velvet Underground.
	5:08pm Cliff: I've been warned not to spend all my late nights in Prague drinking absinthe and smoking and doing other bad stuff, gets expensive
	5:10pm βrian: Yes, one needs to be prague-matic.
	5:10pm Cliff: I'm almost 40, I have allergies, and a Roth IRA that I want to start contributing to again, so it probably won't be a problem.
	5:12pm Dean: I'd refrain from contributing to any allergies, Cliff. Just my two cents.
	5:13pm Cliff: Just gotta stay away from penicillin, cats, bluegrass, and ragweed.
	5:14pm Dean: I'm allergic to some bluegrass, too, but maybe I'm making a category mistake.
	5:15pm Cliff: Actually I'm allergic to just about all country music EXCEPT bluegrass and honky-tonk.
	👻 5:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: NO CATS. NO CATS EVER. CATS BAD.
	5:17pm Cliff: I like the kitty-cats, I just can't pet them too much and have to wash my hands afterwards.
	5:18pm V Priceless: hey Fabio - FYI - Pere Ubu - "Co-Ed Jail Tour" end of the month @ Bowery Ballroom. All material from '75 to '82!
	5:19pm Cliff: Sometimes on acid trips when I close my eyes I'll see a giant glowing kitty face staring back at me.
	5:19pm TDK60: Just now getting into your Marathon premium CD, Fabio.
	5:20pm geezerette: Cheshire Cat :)
	5:22pm Cliff: Yep geezerette! When she sees me she usually closes her eyes slowly and then floats off into the fractal soup :D
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Marathon premium? WAH. Still awaiting me swaggie.
	5:23pm Cecile: me too
	5:25pm TDK60: Fab's CD is entitled 'Dream Sequence'. It's got a cool photo on the cover. Haven't delved into it much yet but sounds interesting.
	5:27pm JP from KC: @Cliff: When a cat looks at you and slowly closes its eyes, it is showing trust and affection. Apparently you've got an interdemensional feline friend looking out for you. That's good news.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The collection of premium CDs is getting to a point where I need a filing technique ... by year, or by DJ? Stashing 'em all under WFMU isn't going to cut it anymore.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Obsessive/compulsive tendencies demand filing techniques.
	5:30pm Cliff: Yep JP, I've heard that before from Jackson Galaxy, though he only works with cats in this dimension
	5:30pm Dean: Apply a principle of provenance, Rev. (Not the same as Provence.) Thus, DJ.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...humans all about this 'eye contact' - but fuzzies feel it's a bit of a challenge. Closey of eyesies...
	5:33pm JP from KC: I agree with Dean, Rev. You should go DJ. I just think it would be easier to keep track of as the years go on and you add to your collection.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sub-categories of FMU...Name, Chrono...
	5:37pm JP from KC: Arrange by DJ, then by year, in case you get the same DJ's premium during another marathon.
	5:38pm geezerette: Fabio,fabulous show. :D
	5:39pm Cliff: This Matériaux is nicely chunky and evocative
	5:40pm nic: love this
	5:43pm βrian: "Le temps passé avec un chat n'est jamais perdu."
	5:44pm Cliff: Bien sur
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cheshire Cat: ...'If you don't know where you're going any road will take you there'...
	5:47pm dale: this stuff is phantastic
	5:47pm βrian: FIN
	5:48pm Cliff: Fabio this was a real trip, and I wasn't even on any drugs today
	5:49pm geezerette: RevRab,love Harrison.
	5:49pm Dean: Get it? The end? Finnish?
	5:50pm Cliff: Oh you guize, you slay me
	5:50pm dale: shitty day of painting and cleaning gutters and snaking a bathtub drain. this music and a gin are bliss to me.
	5:51pm dale: STRA-gedy.
	5:52pm nic: thx bye
	5:53pm dale: jim varney was always talking to his pal vern
	5:53pm βrian: Mayberry L.S.D.
	5:53pm JP from KC: I sometimes think there's a varnish of pot resin painted across my brain.
	5:54pm dale: i remember years ago saying clay sounded like flloyd the barber and fab cracked up.
	5:54pm common: great impression clay!
	5:55pm dale: brian - HAH! should be a thing.
	5:56pm dale: LLOYD LINDSEY YOUNG
	👻 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Jim Varney (RIP)? He played the Ernest character. Ernest Goes to Camp and other fine entertainment films. Also played the voice of Slinky the Dog in some of the Toy Story movies.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...try to explain this exceptionalness to a non-FMUvian...
	5:57pm Cliff: I think by this point the lysergamides have dug a permanent quantum tunnel from my 5-HT2a receptors to the infinite parallel dimensions interpenetrating the fabric of reality. Or something like that
	5:57pm Michael 98145: to the fractal soup
	5:58pm geezerette: OMG that makes sense.
	5:58pm Polyus: Didn't Jim Varney start out doing ads for some auto parts company? I swear that's where I first saw him. I was pretty young though.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...once you understand the laughter in the Sgt. Pepper locked groove - that's it forever...
	5:58pm Cliff: With the Cheshire cats
	5:59pm Cliff: See also: The Rockwell Retro Encabulator www.youtube.com...
	6:00pm geezerette: My cat only laughed behind my back but she definitely laughed.
