WOW that was weird. All monitors and headphones died on me. It was the Hebrew I BET
9:16am
Bad Ronald:
Why does everyone blame everything on the Hebrew?
9:17am
D in Miami:
Because there is no Shebrew.
9:18am
Dan B From Upstate:
Shebrew sounds like a good name for a femenist beer.

So welcome back D in Miami! I know it is good catching this show in real time..because when you just come in here and you click on the wrong link and you are about to say the songs you are listening to are not matching the ones in the live updated playlist..and I'm not saying this because it had just happened to me..no, not at all...Scheiße!
Thank GOD that Kane song went on forever. I just had a radio nightmare and IM AWAKE!!!!!

Ken, your interview Monday night was awesome. I had to look at FMU's website from 96. Good stuff. Very Web 1.0. Just curious... what did a Friday afternoon Ken show from 96-97 sound like? Any different?
Do you appear on every gosh darn show on the station?
9:36am
ricardo montalban:
I've had that "time to start the show" dream. I used to intro my show to a particular piece of music and if it would ever come up (on iTunes shuffle) while I was asleep, I would dream I was having to start my show, in a panic.

Caryn:
Yeah, but She-Hulk was much more eloquent that the Hulk. Also, the inability to form frigging sentences tends to only take hold after the transformation... Maybe it's Wonder Woman driven to tongue-tied anger by someone stealing her headband?

@Dan B - yep, me too. I did get the Scotcheroos though. Just got my Best Show pack for 2011 though, pretty cool.
10:06am
Caryn:
@D in Miami: nope, but I've heard (and seen) some individual songs. I think I love the mother song so much, because the backing singers all look like middle-aged suburban moms who have somehow stumbled into the studio to stand behind Mr. T.

No. They could not see the irony of the Greenbaum song they were singing.
Next question:
Why is a blind man's penis erect?
10:15am
Sam:
Because he imagines porn all the time?
10:15am
D in Miami:
It acts as a third eye?
10:15am

Hello, all. I am in spreadsheet hell today, so will just be popping in from time to time.

10:17am
Cecile:
Ken, if you have "Steamer" by Sten, it will continue the robo-groove.
10:17am
Neg-guh-tor:
As usual, Cecile is correct.
Answer: Because he is blind.
10:18am

What kind of explanation is that?

10:44am

Are you a lesbian, Ken?

Nope, but there were a few murdered children, a sacrificial pagan altar, and dead au pairs in wells.

The au pairs never have it good. That was what year?

The book was dedicated to PG Wodehouse. Not sure why.

Amplified through their sugar-riddled teeth? Is that what you mean by "mouth cavity"?

Maybe it's the whole "using the head as a sounding chamber" thing that Phil Hartmann once mentioned?

You have to consider the possibility that Satan is butch/straight, but his Satanic nature means he has to act against his nature (as he acted against his nature by rebelling against God).
Satan am Bizarro God?

me hate that idea michael
11:08am

me remember to put bizarro on last comment.
11:08am
biz consultant:
Basically Ken you take out life insurance policies on your employees and keep ALL the cash when they die! There are tax incentives for these policies too
11:08am
Sam:
Maybe Michael that's why they say Satan WAS a lesbian, his nature is to be lesbian, but he changed to be against his nature, so he's now straight. Theology is so interesting!
11:09am
Mark:
I didn't think any younger people listened to Ken's show
11:09am
Bizarro Cecile:
That sound like universal healthcare on bizarro world, sam.
11:10am
Caryn:
Maybe the "lesbian" phase was before a sex change, or perhaps Satan thought he was transsexual for some time, and thus, being psychologically female, liking women made him a lesbian. Still doesn't explain how he suddenly decided to like men? Then again, sexuality is fluid. Maybe we should just be "fine, you were a lesbian, and now you're gay".
11:11am
Sam:
How would you make money taking out life insurance on everybody? Isn't it set up to favor the insurance companies? You only win if the person dies earlier than expected, but how would you know unless you're involved in foul play?
11:13am
Mark:
I wonder if Ken is indisposed in some for this a 13 minute song
11:13am
Bizarro Cecile:
janitor insurance make as much sense as blind man song.
11:14am
Caryn:
Maybe Ken already has taken out life insurance on all the DJs and volunteers? That might explain why it took so long to get the elevator of death repaired. Ken was just hoping for someone to have an accident so he could cash in? That's a plan so cunning you could brush your teeth with it.
11:14am
Dante:
As long as we're in the nine circles of generalization, we could say Satan can surely be dramatic enough (wielding his bitchfork) to be gay, but not neat enough. Look what he did to Regan's room.
11:14am
biz consultant:
Caryn!! Omg
11:15am
Sam:
I could even see insuring some irreplacable executive like Steve Jobs where the company would really suffer if he died suddenly. But, no offense to janitors, they're pretty easy to replace, why the need for insurance?
11:15am
Neg-guh-tor:
Somebody needs to send 'The Satanic Lesbian Sexuality' thread to the Legislature here in NC where they just passed a constitutional amendment that declared marriage between a 'man and a woman' without considering what we have here.
