Listener comments!
	3/9 8:53am Lolabelle Pancake: This will be a fundraising week on The Codger's Poutin' Shanty Shindig. Remember, 60% of your donations go directly into Courtney's pocket, so please BE GENEROUS.
	3/9 9:34pm Lolabelle Pancake: OH! And there will be a number of really special guests on this week's show!!!!!
	11:34am Listener Robert: "Special" in the euphemistic sense, as in "special education"?
	11:58am Lolabelle Pancake: In one case, yes.
	4:42pm Pierre Delecto: How would I know if I'm out of my mind?
	4:45pm Lolabelle Pancake: If you're listening to Fablio's program and find yourself tapping your toes and humming along — that's a warning sign.
	5:35pm Listener Robert: Don't wait until you're low on your mind before you stock up again. But if you ever do run out of your mind, you can borrow some of mine, provided you put all of it back in the right place.
	5:46pm HyperDose: I would NEVER tap my toes to Fablio's program. I close the drapes and rhythmically nod while no one is looking.
	5:48pm G: Fablio countdown: 12 minutes
	5:49pm rrg: My money's going to Courtney. None for Fablio! None!
	5:56pm ultradamno: Sounds like Fablio is bracing for impact. Good! Buckle up buttercup!
	5:59pm Lolabelle Pancake: Hurricane Courtney is about to make landfall!
	6:00pm Lolabelle Pancake: FABLIO IS ENCROACHING ON OUR TIME!!!!
	6:01pm ultradamno: This naked aggression will not stand!
	6:01pm HyperDose: Is he enraged or just hopped up on Dr. William's iron pills?
	6:01pm ultradamno: So he could go on about someone "winning" an album of a mumbling beatnik, no less
	6:01pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney or Fablio?
	6:02pm Lolabelle Pancake: Now is the time to begin pledging for The Old Codger Radio Program. Hit the pledge widget in the black banner at the top of the playlist page. THANK YOU!
	6:04pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Elann from Brooklyn for the pledge. We will indeed say hello to Flip the Frog for you!
	6:04pm HyperDose: I'd imagine Courtney to be the iron-deficient one. You hear all those metallic noises Fablio injects directly into his ears. He must be 80% Mercury by now.
	6:04pm G: @Lolabelle 6:00: Hippies don't do bourgeois white people time.
	6:04pm Miss G: I am unapologetically coming over from Fabio's show, and this piece is gorgeous. There, I said it.
	6:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: I pledged pre-marathon and YES I am getting the calendar. HELL YES.
	6:05pm ultradamno: He thinks it makes him one of those "heavy metal kids"
	6:05pm G: Cmon, freeloaders. Leave the freeloading to Courtney. I already renewed my pledge.
	6:06pm dave wuz here: i gave at the office, get off of my porch
	6:06pm Marie: Hey, I heard the Old Codger used to do a ventriloquist act--will a dummy be his co-host for the marathon?
	6:06pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thank you Wendy McQueso. We appreciate your rennet-imbued pledge.
	6:08pm dale: i heard delbarton industries is ramping up production of spats and opium-laced soft drinks and i want to get in on the ground floor with some pledgations.
	6:08pm G: "Lolabelle" hasn't pledged lol
	6:10pm Listener Robert: That means you play it with your fingers. Or it requires digitalis.
	6:11pm HyperDose: Computer? He knows witches have been burned at the stake for less, right?
	6:11pm De Fenestrated: Are the dirty postcards a pledge prize?
	6:11pm ultradamno: WELL, I NEVER!
	6:11pm Lolabelle Pancake: THIS IS LIBEL!!!!
	6:12pm rrg: Ambush!
	6:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...closing the drapes and rhythmically nodding pretty much my entire lifestyle now...
	6:12pm J*Boogie: How dare you Fabio
	6:12pm G: That's what I call a ringing endorsement.
	6:12pm Laura L: Outrageous defamation!!!!!!
	6:12pm HyperDose: This can only result in a torrential downpour of hostility
	6:13pm ultradamno: I hereby demand that the "Strength Through Failure" be awarded to Gus Bodenheim for his own standalone program as reparations
	6:13pm Listener Robert: That comes very close to Andy's benediction of 7SD.
	6:14pm dale: jerry mc colonna?
	6:15pm Webhamster Henry: Ahhhhhhh Yes!
	6:15pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney is on the phone with his attorney. Same attorney he's had since 1903. His phone number is "14."
	6:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if you hate Pina Colonnas...
	6:16pm HyperDose: Okay, so who's going to take one for the team and call Courtney past 4pm?
	6:17pm Andres: Hello! I hope someone will be karaoke-ing I Hate Music. Seems tailor made!
	6:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Well, that certainly was a quick take by Fablio.
	6:18pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to listener Greg from Jersey City for pledging and soundtracking his Thursday evening dinner prep to Courtney's sublime frequencies.
	6:18pm (Murakami Whywolf))): R. Crumb and His Cheap-Suit Serenaders did a good version of "Persian Rug"—and released it on a 78r.p.m. disc.
	6:18pm Webhamster Henry: I only know the Sweet Suit Serenaders version of Persian Rug.
	6:18pm McGroovey: If I pledged $20, do I have a chance to win the Red Norvo 78? I hope it's not the Colonna record. I mean, if it were Colonna on a Joe Herlihy record, OK, but not that pedestrian novelty record.
	6:19pm Webhamster Henry: *Cheap
	6:19pm rrg: I think that was Fats Waller on the organ but James P. Johnson on piano.
	6:20pm Krull Sagan: Now this is the kind of music French experimental composers COULD have been making on their home made instruments....FABIO
	6:20pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Chresti of San Gabriel for a generous pledge in defiance of what Fablio said about Courtney.
	6:21pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to fellow staffer Matt5 for the Codger-sized pledge. Matt: Courtney does not love the blues, but they have dated.
	6:22pm dale: hune, spoon, croon, moon, spitoon...
	6:22pm Rick from SC: Flip the Frog!
	6:22pm dale: june, i meant...
	6:22pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to listener Casey from King Ferry for the pledge. Indeed pulchritude isn't everything!
	6:25pm Otis Fodder: Good evening Lolabelle and Courtney. Cat brushing as a profession knows no end. I slipped out when they left to drink water.
	6:26pm rrg: Laura Bodenheim!
	6:26pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Pollie and Ted from Brooklyn for pledging to support Court!
	6:26pm Laura L: I know her!
	6:26pm dale: mind your own business, move it on over....hank got lazy there.
	6:26pm HyperDose: Gus' sultry delivery makes me want to donate my money AND my purity.
	6:27pm ultradamno: I guess this is fine, for the kids.
	6:27pm Otis Fodder: My cally der will look so lovely on my frigo.
	6:27pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney: "I adora Laura."
	6:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...so - you don't want me to throw bail for ya Hank ??...
	6:28pm Miss G: Aw, did I miss Fabio cursing out OC (the OG)? I had a phone call. Well at least I can hear Hank Williams (and Gus B's hostage video)
	6:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Sol Hoopii <3 <3 <3
	6:30pm Lolabelle Pancake: By the way, the role of the martian on the calendar cover is played by Kip Mouseley!
	6:31pm Franco Twinkie: This is hilarious! Just goes to show, just because you're on social security doesn't mean you can't yank the table clothe and sent all the dishes to the floor.
	6:32pm Lolabelle Pancake: Franco, you must have attended one of Courtney's buffets!
	6:32pm G: I can envision the pistol at his temple.
	6:33pm HyperDose: Our beloved Gaylord! He really is a swell guy.
	6:33pm Little Danny: Hahaha! Poor Gaylord.
	6:33pm G: Here comes Pervy Formby
	6:33pm Lolabelle Pancake: Poor Gaylord's cat!
	6:33pm rrg: Are there no phone pledges this year?
	6:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @ Courtney's age you need a catnap...
	6:34pm Lolabelle Pancake: If you want to pledge by phone, call Courtney direct. You have his phone number, right?
	6:34pm McGroovey: Or you can send a telegram.
	6:34pm Little Danny: Kansas 5-6342
	6:34pm ultradamno: Will Mr Fields get his cat back or one of those made from a kit?
	6:35pm Lolabelle Pancake: Next week Gaylord's cousin Booker T. Bodenheim will be offering an endorsement of this program.
	6:35pm D Rok (in brooklyn): @Lolabelle Pancake: Was it 6 or 7? I can't remember.
	6:35pm Lolabelle Pancake: Booker T. Bodenheim is the black black sheep of the family.
	6:35pm (((Murakami Whywolf): Maybe Mr Edison can us some of his cut to supply the poutin' shanty with its missing cat.
	6:37pm Rich in Washington: Wasn't George Formby the furniture polish guy?
	6:39pm G: Flip was the first genius in the 20th century to adapt Sweeney Todd
	6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Toss the Toad is forgotten - had regrettable production values...
	6:40pm Lolabelle Pancake: Little known fact: Chaplin stole most of his best gags from Flip when they traveled the vaudeville circuit together.
	6:40pm Gaylord Fields: Booker T. Bodenheim would like to be here to help with the fundraising this week, but he's currently attending the reunion of his old squadron, the Tuskegee Amphicar-men. He's especially eager to see his old commanding officer, 1st Lt. Willie "Sleep 'n Eat" Best.
	6:41pm HyperDose: Please tell us you got your cat back, Gaylord!
	6:41pm Lolabelle Pancake: Gaylord, did you personally know Abe "Hit Sign Win Suit" Stark?
	6:42pm J*Boogie: Imagine the Old Codger’s face when he sees that Ken used the money to put a wave pool in the basement. Pledge!
	6:42pm rrg: I gotta have more slide whistle!
	6:43pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Paul of East Hampton and Mark of Sea Bright for the pledges. Every dollar pledged to Courtney helps make Fablio look shabby by comparison.
	6:44pm Gaylord Fields: Lolabelle, my distant cousin, Negro Leagues player Cool Papa Bodenheim, once hit the sign, but all Abe Stark would give him was a pocket square, accusing him of being one of those material-hogging "Zoot Suiters"!
	6:45pm Jennica: Lolabelle, What does Courtney do with his large portion of the pledge dollars? More firewater?
	6:46pm G: Those boxes of Rancho Malarios don't pay for themselves.
	6:46pm Gaylord Fields: @HyperDose: Thor the cat is safely back home, with a nasty note attached to his collar from Courtney referencing O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief" — does anyone remember offhand how that story goes? It slips my mind.
	6:47pm Lolabelle Pancake: It's a happy ending all around: we got mucho ransom money and you got your cat back!
	6:47pm dale: home alone was just the ransom of red chief. without the ransom part.
	6:49pm Lolabelle Pancake: Listener Michael from Brooklyn has pledged and sent this note: "Like the Old Codger himself, I enjoy blowing my own horn."
	6:50pm Gaylord Fields: And with my making the ransom payment, I now qualify for the stimulus check! "Win-win" is what they call that.
	6:50pm Listener Robert: There's a YouTube of Hugh Laurie playing Nagasaki in an excerpt from Jeeves and Wooster. Someone commented that that was a very popular number at the time depicted. Someone commented back that it couldn't've been too popular if this was the first s/he was hearing of it. Take nothing for granted.
	6:51pm Jennica: Sheila Bodenheim. Nice.
	6:52pm ultradamno: Like Courtney, she doesn't do computerized socializing media either!
	6:53pm dale: i KNEW she came from bootleg whiskey money.
	6:53pm northguineahills: ha, sheilab!
	6:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can Culture from 1927 be Canceled ?...
	6:54pm Listener Robert: This was on Jan Turkenburg's list of "ain't" songs today.
	6:54pm HyperDose: @Gaylord Such a relief! This Sophie Tucker was quite the trailblazer!
	6:55pm ultradamno: @RRN Sure, Birth Of A Nation was an early cancellation party
	6:55pm Will: Is there an Old Codger t-shirt? I am already a lifetime swagger, but would pay dearly for a t-shirt. This is my favorite show on FMU!
	6:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: I effin' love Sophie Tucker.
	6:56pm G: @RR63: AN-Y-THING can be cancelled. It's an easy system. You can't name an example of something that can't get the cancel treatment. That's why 25 year olds can do it from their parents' basement with an iPhone 11.
	6:58pm ultradamno: This was such a pretty song before that AC/DC group from Australia got ahold of it.
	6:58pm dale: shiela and sophie both have 6 letter names and SHIE in there - coincidence?
	6:58pm rrg: The show is almost over. But at least in 167 hours we'll have another one to listen to. Thanks, all.
	6:58pm dale: probably.
	6:59pm HyperDose: Thank you Lolabelle.....and Courtney "cat burglar" Edison!
	6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well a lynch mob is a democracy I suppose ...I wonder if Sophie had any dirt on Pepe the skunk we oughta know about...
	6:59pm Jennica: Thank you Courtney and Lolabelle.
	6:59pm Little Danny: Congratulations Courtney! Two hoots and a holler, you are.
	7:00pm P-90: Does Courtney accept Bitcoin? Has he heard of Bitcoin?
	7:00pm dale: ha ha!
	7:00pm Otis Fodder: Thanks a bunch Fablio and Lolabelle and special guests. You too Courtney!
	7:01pm Webhamster Henry: I pledge allegiance... to the Frog ... of the United States of America.
	7:01pm G: The Flip the Frog Theme is now the national anthem!
	7:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...United Snakes & Amphibians...
	7:03pm chresti: Thank you Courtney and Lolabelle!

	6:42pm J*Boogie: Imagine the Old Codger’s face when he sees that Ken used the money to put a wave pool in the basement. Pledge!
	6:42pm rrg: I gotta have more slide whistle!
	6:43pm Lolabelle Pancake: Thanks to Paul of East Hampton and Mark of Sea Bright for the pledges. Every dollar pledged to Courtney helps make Fablio look shabby by comparison.
	6:44pm Gaylord Fields: Lolabelle, my distant cousin, Negro Leagues player Cool Papa Bodenheim, once hit the sign, but all Abe Stark would give him was a pocket square, accusing him of being one of those material-hogging "Zoot Suiters"!
	6:45pm Jennica: Lolabelle, What does Courtney do with his large portion of the pledge dollars? More firewater?
	6:46pm G: Those boxes of Rancho Malarios don't pay for themselves.
	6:46pm Gaylord Fields: @HyperDose: Thor the cat is safely back home, with a nasty note attached to his collar from Courtney referencing O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief" — does anyone remember offhand how that story goes? It slips my mind.
	6:47pm Lolabelle Pancake: It's a happy ending all around: we got mucho ransom money and you got your cat back!
	6:47pm dale: home alone was just the ransom of red chief. without the ransom part.
	6:49pm Lolabelle Pancake: Listener Michael from Brooklyn has pledged and sent this note: "Like the Old Codger himself, I enjoy blowing my own horn."
	6:50pm Gaylord Fields: And with my making the ransom payment, I now qualify for the stimulus check! "Win-win" is what they call that.
	6:50pm Listener Robert: There's a YouTube of Hugh Laurie playing Nagasaki in an excerpt from Jeeves and Wooster. Someone commented that that was a very popular number at the time depicted. Someone commented back that it couldn't've been too popular if this was the first s/he was hearing of it. Take nothing for granted.
	6:51pm Jennica: Sheila Bodenheim. Nice.
	6:52pm ultradamno: Like Courtney, she doesn't do computerized socializing media either!
	6:53pm dale: i KNEW she came from bootleg whiskey money.
	6:53pm northguineahills: ha, sheilab!
	6:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...can Culture from 1927 be Canceled ?...
	6:54pm Listener Robert: This was on Jan Turkenburg's list of "ain't" songs today.
	6:54pm HyperDose: @Gaylord Such a relief! This Sophie Tucker was quite the trailblazer!
	6:55pm ultradamno: @RRN Sure, Birth Of A Nation was an early cancellation party
	6:55pm Will: Is there an Old Codger t-shirt? I am already a lifetime swagger, but would pay dearly for a t-shirt. This is my favorite show on FMU!
	6:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: I effin' love Sophie Tucker.
	6:56pm G: @RR63: AN-Y-THING can be cancelled. It's an easy system. You can't name an example of something that can't get the cancel treatment. That's why 25 year olds can do it from their parents' basement with an iPhone 11.
	6:58pm ultradamno: This was such a pretty song before that AC/DC group from Australia got ahold of it.
	6:58pm dale: shiela and sophie both have 6 letter names and SHIE in there - coincidence?
	6:58pm rrg: The show is almost over. But at least in 167 hours we'll have another one to listen to. Thanks, all.
	6:58pm dale: probably.
	6:59pm HyperDose: Thank you Lolabelle.....and Courtney "cat burglar" Edison!
	6:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well a lynch mob is a democracy I suppose ...I wonder if Sophie had any dirt on Pepe the skunk we oughta know about...
	6:59pm Jennica: Thank you Courtney and Lolabelle.
	6:59pm Little Danny: Congratulations Courtney! Two hoots and a holler, you are.
