@Glenn - my fave part of VICE article, re Rob Fords's **COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR**:

"VICE exhaustively compared the emails allegedly from Massoudi with public notes and comments Massoudi left on his Facebook profile. Both were rife with grammatical errors, poor spelling, and had a similar tendency to overuse elipses."

Got it, Gary -- the question is, was your attempt directed at Doug, or Holly? Works for BOTH!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:07pm Doug Schulkind:

You get an A for effort, or maybe affort, Gary.

Hello and welcome, Artie!
Avatar 6:07pm Holly in NC:

Everything about Spade Cooley, except his music, is terrifying. What a horrid, horrid man.

Doug, if we don't hear some Schoolhouse Rock this evening I'm going to be rather disappointed.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Gary:

Both, with bells on!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:09pm pacific standard simon:

It's true, the less you know about Spade, the easier it is to enjoy his music.

True dat, pacificSS.

Speaking of "terrifying", I've spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to get the new FMU android app on my Kindle. Google Play no like.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:13pm Doug Schulkind:

That Schoolhouse Rock was sung by the wonderful Bob Dorough! But sadly, not this evening.
Avatar 6:14pm Holly in NC:

Have to go feed & medicate some beasts, have muzzles coming at from all directions. Also, martini time. Back asap!

Reading about Spade Cooley now on trutv's crime library. Weirdest part might actually be the comments, where there's a kind of mini-Cooley family reunion going on ...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug: Well, sorta. That song name-checks a Bill throughout.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Forget everything I wrote except that first comment about Wodehouse. It's the Morgan tune, not Brother Bill. I gotta smoke me some crack and clear my head.
Avatar 6:40pm kat330:

@ndbob: So did you have your first Bloomington Halloween replete with trick or treaters?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm listener james from westwood:

was it brian who said he was at 99% today? hell, that's irresistible as a round-'em-up pledge!
Avatar 6:41pm Holly in NC:

Back, martini in hand, bliss! Spanky's perfect for the vibe.
Avatar 6:42pm ndbob:

@kat Actually not a single one .. Bloomington officially postponed Halloween a day because of all the rain... it's actually really quiet where I live - very few kids around
Avatar 6:42pm kat330:

Holly!! It's been an age since I've been here when YOU've been here! How's it going?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:43pm Matt from Springfield:

Oh man, missed Jim Stafford! This P.P. Arnold is great though.

Hey Doug and Drummers!
Hey Holly! Hey Katster! :)

...$55 will get GTDS to a respectable 50%, speaking of rounding up...

Yeah, our Halloween was also a bust. We have SOOOOO much candy needing a goodie home. :,
Avatar 6:44pm ndbob:

me too - though it's slowly being depleted - I'm being reasonably good
Avatar 6:44pm kat330:

Hiya Mattster! You had a true Hobson's choice at the polls today, eh?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:45pm pacific standard simon:

My boss said he gave away $500 in candy -- I saw the empty Kit Kat boxes.
Avatar 6:46pm Holly in NC:

Hi Kat330! I am quite well, how are you? Maybe you should make a pinata & hold a party at some point in the near future (re candy).

Hello up there (almost missed you) Matt from Springfield!
Avatar 6:47pm kat330:

Well, Philo WOULD make quicker work of it if I wasn't a prophylactic for him doing so. ;) We called a neighbor today and suggested he take a lion's share of our remainder.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:47pm Matt from Springfield:

@kat: One of the worst general election lineups I can think of--choice between a candidate EVERYBODY HATES, and a candidate NOBODY LIKES! :)

But in the near certain defeat of Lt Gov candidate E.W. Jackson, I propose he replace the Toronto mayor--all the crazy, without the crack!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:48pm Doug Schulkind:

This Poppy Family song is on one 1 of the very 1st lps I ever purchased (K-Tel Dynamite!), must've played it 10000000 times. Now I prefer their more overtly creepy songs. Highly underrated, I think.

sounds great kat! - I'm getting acclimated pretty quickly.. indeed matt
Avatar 6:56pm ndbob:

@Holly agreed .. Billy is actually my least favorite Poppy Family song

You're not the only one (scroll up) pss!

You have great tuna, er, taste, Holly in NC!
