	10:51am acid casualty: "Everything hurtz" by the fall is the quintessential labour day song.
	10:52am judy from croton: I so love Steely Dan. Not even a fan when they were making hits. Now I am rabid.
	10:53am coelacanth∅: greetings Joe and surfactants
	10:54am coelacanth∅: shit when did Walter Becker die?

	11:03am Tokey (bnowb): Bob B got a great show! :)
	11:06am coelacanth∅: there's i guy at the pub that plays $5worth of steely dan songs several times/night on the jukebox (when he's there, when i'm there)...too much dan for me to can enjoy! - he must be seriously sad right now.
	11:06am Tomophobic Tom from Detroit: 'Twas indeed Marilyn Rovell also of the Honeys.
	11:07am coelacanth∅: (me@10.57 hump day was not by Tonio K, but i don't remember who did it.)

	11:14am Brendan: The name Hormel makes me think of potted meat
