Listener comments!
	1:26pm Listener Robert: Looks like we won't have Flabbio to kick around...today.
	1:28pm Listener Robert: May your Christmas be merry, your New Year be happy, and your Tucker be Sophie.
	5:19pm Lolabelle Pancake: That was Sophie Tucker's card to Courtney in 1963. There's a message inside, but it's too salacious to reveal it here. We try to keep the poutin' shanty safe for the whole family. And by "family-safe," we don't mean the Bodenheims.
	5:31pm HyperDose: He better not open that can of night crawlers in the studio!
	5:50pm Lolabelle Pancake: It's a Fablio-Free Thursday at WFMU!

	6:03pm P-90: Well, that was somewhat epic...
	6:05pm Lolabelle Pancake: The role of Hearty White was played by Ray Milland.
	6:06pm P-90: See? And I was sure the role of Ray Milland was played by Hearty White.
	6:07pm Miss G: Missssss Pancake, if only, it had been James Mason (must GO!)
	6:07pm Lolabelle Pancake: The epic poem, "The Night Before Codger's Christmas," was written by Edna St. Vincent Bodenheim.
	6:07pm loveless: He didn't have those Milland dulcet tones . . .
	6:08pm loveless: Welp, no offense, Hearty. Love your voice also!
	6:10pm ultradamno: Matt Fiveash played a clip of Charles Laughton speaking the other day that I couldn't help but notice sounded much like Gus Bodenheim, has anyone seen them in the same place at the same time?
	6:11pm Floradix Hundwasser: I can verify the provenance of the patina on the walls of the shanty.
	6:12pm HyperDose: With a tip of his cap and wave of his cane, our dear Hearty White can teleport anywhere!
	6:12pm loveless: What happens in the shanty, stays in the shanty.
	6:12pm ?: Any chance the Codge has a rare 78 of Leslie West doing "Mississippi Queen"!
	6:13pm P-90: “I am NOT a contrarian!” I respectfully beg to differ.
	6:14pm Miss G: Oh Bodenheim Triplets, I can't quit you!
	6:14pm ?: charles has taken leave for several decades now.
	6:16pm Lolabelle Pancake: Leslie West's recording of "Mississippi Queen" was a cover of a Rudy Vallee song from 1937.
	6:17pm Booger T & Nash Rambler: I wish I had 28 ears so I could listen to all of WFMU. Alas, I couldn't afford the q-tips.
	6:18pm ?: perfect, that would explain most things...thanks!
	6:18pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney knew a man with four brains!
	6:20pm ultradamno: In jars?
	6:20pm HyperDose: If the Old Codger grew his own cannabis strain, what would he call it?
	6:21pm Booger T & Nash Rambler: But did he have four skins?
	6:21pm ultradamno: Spinach?
	6:21pm Lolabelle Pancake: Tell us, HyperD!
	6:22pm Lolabelle Pancake: Courtney uses his brain for Codger-tation.
	6:22pm ?: CAN'T WAIT Til the Calendar kicks in!
	6:29pm Booger T & Nash Rambler: Maybe Codger's weed could be named, Hey! get off my grass!
	6:29pm dale: evening. god bless us everyone. except the goat.
	6:31pm ultradamno: Most times, when people have the option of doing things, they probably shouldn't. So good for Gus!
	6:32pm HyperDose: Well...Curmudgeon Kush is his sweet citrus-y smelling hybrid. Great for mornings on the balcony yelling at children on their way to school. Now if you fancy something a wink more potent, he really recommends Gaffer Glue. This indica strain is the Codger's signature special. The musk-forward notes prepare you for a wave of euphoria that takes you by the hand, and leads you to the most pleasant slumber. Members Only!!!

	6:36pm coelacanth∅: ooh Lolabelle - imagine the Joy on their little faces!
	6:36pm dale: i'm an esther williams man myself.
	6:37pm Booger T & Nash Rambler: Ohmy (frantically fanning face with free hand) this song is racy!
	6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: If I had pearls I'd clutch 'em. Ms. Bailey won't you please come home for Xmas...
	6:40pm Lolabelle Pancake: The role of Betty Lou was NOT played by Margaret Dumont.
	6:40pm Lolabelle Pancake: She turned down the role.
	6:41pm dale: she was too busy bouncing around between chico and harpo.
