	3:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Phillippe! :-)
	3:02pm worldsworstrecords: VRDD... serious stuff
	3:02pm Mr Fab: Hi GG. man, i WISH supermarkets played this stuff nowadays. i mean: Ace of Base?! WHY?!?
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: No individual tracks this week, but one wonderful muzak album, made specifically for supermarkets :-)
	3:02pm worldsworstrecords: i used to be the fruit and veg buyer for an organic supermarket in Bath. I know how serious VRDD can be
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And given the MallSoft treatment by Yours Truly ;-)
	3:03pm Domenic: LOL! OK this is going to be good. Were mesmerized,,
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! I completely agree :-) I would happily shop for hours if supermarkets still sounded like this :-)
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Dom! :-)
	3:03pm Sem: High & wasted. OK, I'll bite. Hello, djGG, and modernists, post modernists, amd those of another ilk. Anne Ilk being one.
	3:04pm Domenic: Hi! the Goya aisle is well stocked... Or the stock is not moving.
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Darryl - I can only begin to imagine what kinds of fruit and veg you encountered! :-)
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Sem!
	3:05pm solo mon: I can relate to this
	3:05pm Rich in Washington: I coincidentally need to go grocery shopping today. Wish I was there now listening on my earbuds. That would be surreal in its immersiveness.
	3:06pm Mr Fab: Domenic! Do you know about our new exotica show, Aloha Fridays?
	3:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - That would freaky and fabulous in equal measures ;-)
	3:06pm Rich in Washington: I love the ambient space you've created in this mix! It's transporting me to my childhood, I feel like I'm clinging to the side of a grocery cart while my mom pushes it along.
	3:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Solo - I often feel that you and I occupy the same odd universe. Lol.
	3:06pm worldsworstrecords: haha! We sold a LOT of Kohl Rabi
	3:06pm Mr Fab: i was grocery shopping once and the played the Clash's "Lost in the Supermarket." Kinda freaked me out.
	3:07pm Rich in Washington: HA!
	3:07pm solo mon: My friend that worked at a produce market had a photo book of lewd vegetables
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - I love doing this kind of treatment on tracks. It's so much fun :-)
	3:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I suspect that Sheena's kitchen has a variety of lewd vegetables ;-)
	3:07pm solo mon: GG indeed I agree
	3:08pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Greetings, GG and the gaggle what has gathered!
	3:08pm Rich in Washington: We're gonna have a bumper crop of zucchini this year. That's not a pun on anything, just a real fact.
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There are so many insanely wonderful mixes on YouTube - MallSoft, RetroWave, VaporWave ... It's a fabulous rabbit hole that I often fall into ;-)
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Granny! <3
	3:09pm Phillippe Bastille: This is making me hungry (again). Hey GST!
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - The Carry On fan in me just guffawed at that ;-)
	3:09pm solo mon: I tend to buy things at the store like endive and escarole and other non mainstream greens. The checkers are always sooooo suspicious of the veg, look at me like “did you just bring this in here from outside?”
	3:10pm matty dread: loving the sounds of the supermarket
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Solo - "Are you ........ a smuggler?"
	3:10pm solo mon: Grainy Spacey Tune in!
	3:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you ,Matty! :-) xx
	3:10pm Rich in Washington: I love the music on the live streaming Seeburg 1000 jukebox. It really sounds like the music I'd hear as a very young child in department stores - even though it's a decade or so before my birth. I would imagine some smaller retailers would've been playing the same collections for many, many years out of thrift.
	3:11pm matty dread: if only my Asda played this music
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - I. Am. Obsessed. With. That. Channel! :-)
	3:11pm Phillippe Bastille: @solo mon my favorite cashier conversation is always when they hold up a veggie I've put on the belt and say "What is this?" in that casual "I don't get paid enough to know our products" kind of way.
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I sometimes dream about opening a supermarket that only plays this kind of music, and is decorated as in the photo for today's show :-)
	3:12pm Rich in Washington: I was once listening when it had a breakdown. Such a weird, rare treat. It really IS a real Seeburg machine playing in real time.
	3:12pm Power Papi: Honestly, I had to google 'Kohlrabi'
	3:12pm solo mon: I know I always say shit like this but there’s a couple of great Kmart music mixtapes o YouTube. Not as great as this because no Georgy but u get the shopping nostalgia for blue light specials
	3:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: The photo by the way is in the PNW somewhere, but I forget where exactly. Rich? Solo? Any ideas?
	3:12pm matty dread: can i please come work in your shop
	3:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Power Papi!
	3:12pm Phillippe Bastille: I would imagine watching Guy's Grocery Games would be different with this playing in the background
	3:13pm Rich in Washington: I love weird old supermarkets which haven't really modernized. A few in Portland, some in coastal towns.
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Solo - I used one of those in the Stepford Wives edition of HWM ;-)
	3:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Matty - Step right up! :-)
	3:13pm Rich in Washington: I'd sure like to know, GG! That pic almost looks like they were going for a PNW Native American motif.
	3:14pm solo mon: Oh u did GG of course you did you little genius
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Very much so!!! All the things I used to see on Vancouver Island back in the day and around British Columbia in general :-) I love PNW First nations art :-)
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - ;-)
	3:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): well, i turned my back for one moment and lost track of the chat already!!!
	3:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - It's zipping again today! Thank you for your message btw, I'll be writing you tomorrow, lovely :-)
	3:16pm Rich in Washington: Fred Meyer was a Portland OR based chain that was the ONLY department store/Supermarket in my town growing up. It was eventually subsumed by national chain Kroger but is still around.
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I don't believe I've ever eaten Kohl Rabi although I know of it ... Is it an artichoke type thing?
	3:17pm solo mon: Grainy/Spacey Tuner hows it goin?
	3:19pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon! just got back from the dentist and my head is numb from my chin to my ear!
	3:19pm solo mon: Rich I loved the old Fred Meyers the one in Oregon City is where I bought my first records ( while my mom bought groceries ) I remember what they were- hayzee fantayzee, bow wow wow I want candy and Neil young “trans” lol
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Tac Mall Thriftway, Takoma Washington. Found it :-)
	3:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Oh no, Granny! Poor you!!! <3
	3:21pm solo mon: Yeah I remember that was the thriftway motif back in the day! There was one right by where I grew up!
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - I would love to see one of those :-)
	3:22pm Rich in Washington: solo: The one in Hazel Dell was the only big box retail in my town until the early 80s. I do believe I bought my first ever new records there, no doubt from their cutout bins. I also remember occasionally having lunch in their buffet which my dad dubbed "Heave's Buffet" (It was called Eve's after founder Fred Meyer's wife).
	3:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Boom :-) www.tacomalibrary.org...
	3:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon—you got Haysi Fantaysee at Fred Meyer. Perfect! GG: i was brave!
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - I don't doubt it! You're a pirate after all :-)
	3:23pm solo mon: There were a lot of thriftways in Washington and Oregon, they are all gone. Granny, Fred Meyer had a dialed in music store straight out of the pages of star hits magazine
	3:23pm Rich in Washington: Thriftway was a great chain, too. My brother worked there as a checker/bagger when we were in high school.
	3:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thriftway looks absolutely glorious :-)
	3:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): GG: Tacoma Mall! That's where i went shawpping in my high school days! Bought my first TRex cassette from a dollar bin at some soulless record shop.
	3:24pm solo mon: Oh I’ve eaten at eves buffet. So gross. Like a terrible thanksgiving meal at a retirement home.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One little photo is bringing back so many wonderful memories! that makes me very happy indeed :-)
	3:25pm Mr Fab: i work at a supermarket, and i AM one of those people that say 'What is this..?" Esp produce, which I rarely buy myself. It's true, we don't know our products: I take em off a truck and stick 'em on the shelf. Or if I'm up front, I stick 'em in a bag.That's it. And DOn't ask if we have any in the back!!
	3:25pm notsoKWYET: This is NOT my day... sorry was on the phone with the ministry of labour. Back now!
	3:25pm solo mon: GG you are triggering all us PNW kids lol
	3:25pm Domenic: Woman baggers are better than me baggers. Some of these lads have no idea to to properly build a 3 dimensional matrix
	3:25pm notsoKWYET: i won't be able to chat but I am listening intently while I do some work.
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - But DO you have any in the back? And what IS this? ;-)
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @NSK - Come and relax! It sounds like you;re having a hellish time <3
	3:26pm Domenic: Dragon fruit has no taste, and its expensive.
	3:26pm Rich in Washington: my whole family's career story is working for a business that continually gets bought out by a series of larger businesses. My mom worked at a garden center of a hardware store which got bought out by a company my father worked for, making them coworkers, then the same company bought the grocery store my brother worked for. I was a sucker who washed dishes at a couple of restaurants in town so escaped the weird dynamic.
	3:27pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST I used to work with a woman years ago who was rather proud of her appearance but fortunately had a great ability to laugh at herself. She came into work late one day and sat at her desk, giggling to herself. I asked her what was up and she told me she had gone to the dentist (in a mall -- who goes to a mall dentist?) and had redone her lipstick without looking in the mirror after the dentist was done. She said she was walking though the mall and all sorts of boys and men were giving her big smiles. She didn't realize what was up until she got in the work bathroom and saw she basically had bright red clown make-up around her mouth from applying lipstick on a numb face.
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Same here to be honest :-) I have a specific Vancouver Safeway in my head listening to this. Low Googie type building with those amazing 70s font faces and daises everywhere :-)
	3:27pm notsoKWYET: unfortunately I need to get some numbers to my new friend Rose so daddy can get paid out big from his shitty company
	3:27pm solo mon: Last year I tried to buy “ground cherries” and they almost refused to believe they existed at the register.
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Phillippe - THAT is fabulous!!! :-)
	3:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: funny, i just did that, too!
	3:28pm Mr Fab: as opposed to, what, "air cherries"?
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Solo - I've been trying to find powdered mushrooms to no avail. :-(
	3:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ok, not really, but if i did try to put lipstick on it would be weird
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I tried to put on mascara on a moving Tube train once. It didn't go well ...!
	3:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): just eating mashed potatoes is tricky enough
	3:29pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST you didn't strike me as a mall dentist kind of person
	3:29pm solo mon: Haha she was Diane Ladd in wild at heart.
	3:29pm matty dread: Good Luck Dan
	3:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): GG: i think that the decor in the Thriftway photo is inspired by North Coast Indigenous art traditions. Very popular style in the PNW
	3:31pm solo mon: Haha they r called ground cherries?! It said it on the sign in the produce dept. they were like tomatillos? But sweeter? I don’t know.
	3:31pm Phillippe Bastille: Pre-dated that movie by about 5 years. Maybe the inspiration?
	3:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - That was always my favourite thing growing up :-) I have a major obsession with First Nations art - I even took a course in it many years ago :-) Whenever we'd go up in the mountains I always wanted to stop at tourist shops and pick up tiny sculptures and pictures.
	3:32pm solo mon: Phillippe maybe David Lynch went to a mall dentist too?
	3:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: i have the best dentist. he looks like Shel Silverstein and listens to local community radio!
	3:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - PNW First Nations art is really difficult to do. If I didn't already love it I certainly gained an even greater respect for it after that :-)
	3:33pm Phillippe Bastille: @solo mon If I ever meet him, I will have to ask him if he knew a woman named Willie. I'm sure he'd remember.
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a ton of wonderful PNW First nations art and sculpture in museums in and around Stanley Park in Vancouver. Really gorgeous. :-)
	3:35pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST my kind of dentist, except for the fact I'm terrified of them.
	3:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): DJ GeorgyGirl: we need to talk. I have the honor of knowing some of the finest North Coast traditional carvers alive.
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm okay with dentists but I am deeply, deeply phobic about general anaesthetic. I once had my wisdom teeth removed under local anaesthetic and it was worth it just to hear the dentist swearing like a sailor and screaming ;-)
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Yes PLEASE!!! :-D xx
	3:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): here's a slideshow of Calvin Hunt's commissioned totem poles to view while you listen: www.calvinhunt.com...
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Those are EXQUISITE!!!
	3:42pm solo mon: Granny beautiful!!
	3:47pm captain mike: Did Brian Eno ever release “Music for Supermarkets”?
	3:47pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): My favorite Calvin Hunt story is about the time some white tourists visited his studio and saw him using a chainsaw, "Oh, is that the way your ancestors did it?" they asked, thinking they were hilarious. Without missing a beat, Calvin says, "And i suppose you traveled here in a covered wagon?"
	3:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi captain mike! Good question! I don't think so ... But I could be wrong ;-)
	3:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Lol!!! I think they needed some arnica for that burn ;-)
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - There is a Jean-Michel Jarre "Music Pour Supermarkets from the early 80s.
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Nearly at the end of today's show! Stay tuned for Martinibomb after me tho :-) www.wfmu.org...
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Did you all have fun? :-)
	3:50pm notsoKWYET: i feel sick to my stomach after that call -work your magic Hi Waisted!
	3:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @NSK - Magic coming through!! <3
	3:50pm Phillippe Bastille: @DJ GG its an anesthetic fail that gave me my fear of dentists. Somehow I wound up with novacaine dripping from my ear and a completely un-numbed tooth.
	3:51pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for the show!
	3:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Phillippe - My goodness! That sounds awful! Poor you <3
	3:51pm captain mike: Attention Ambient Shoppers! Delete bin in aisle 9 full of Japanese Vinyl Get ‘em while they’re hot -my dream supermarket announcement!
	3:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - That's the Sheena's supermarket call! ;-)
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: How weird is THIS?????
	3:53pm solo mon: Whoah
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Little dentist reference in the show itself. Spooky ;-)
	3:54pm Phillippe Bastille: exactly...
	3:54pm Mr Fab: captain mike: LOL!
	3:54pm captain mike: Searching “ Epsilon in Malaysian Pale” in my memory bank today Thanks for the tweak
	3:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - You're very welcome :-)
	3:55pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): oooohhh! thanks GG! See you all at Martinibomb's next
	3:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you all for listening, my lovely Modernists :-) Huge hugs to all of you <3
	3:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you Granny!
	3:56pm solo mon: Loved this shopping experience GG
	3:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you Solo! Looking forward to your show tomorrow :-) xx
	3:57pm notsoKWYET: This makes me want to smoke a cigarette while shopping indoors LOL
	3:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @NSK - Ditto! ;-)
	3:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Finishing a tiny bit early today because I can't count ;-)
	3:58pm Mr Fab: and now we boogie on over here: https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/95335
	3:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you everyone!! <3 xx

	3:22pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): solo mon—you got Haysi Fantaysee at Fred Meyer. Perfect! GG: i was brave!
	3:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - I don't doubt it! You're a pirate after all :-)
	3:23pm solo mon: There were a lot of thriftways in Washington and Oregon, they are all gone. Granny, Fred Meyer had a dialed in music store straight out of the pages of star hits magazine
	3:23pm Rich in Washington: Thriftway was a great chain, too. My brother worked there as a checker/bagger when we were in high school.
	3:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thriftway looks absolutely glorious :-)
	3:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): GG: Tacoma Mall! That's where i went shawpping in my high school days! Bought my first TRex cassette from a dollar bin at some soulless record shop.
	3:24pm solo mon: Oh I’ve eaten at eves buffet. So gross. Like a terrible thanksgiving meal at a retirement home.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One little photo is bringing back so many wonderful memories! that makes me very happy indeed :-)
	3:25pm Mr Fab: i work at a supermarket, and i AM one of those people that say 'What is this..?" Esp produce, which I rarely buy myself. It's true, we don't know our products: I take em off a truck and stick 'em on the shelf. Or if I'm up front, I stick 'em in a bag.That's it. And DOn't ask if we have any in the back!!
	3:25pm notsoKWYET: This is NOT my day... sorry was on the phone with the ministry of labour. Back now!
	3:25pm solo mon: GG you are triggering all us PNW kids lol
	3:25pm Domenic: Woman baggers are better than me baggers. Some of these lads have no idea to to properly build a 3 dimensional matrix
	3:25pm notsoKWYET: i won't be able to chat but I am listening intently while I do some work.
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mr Fab - But DO you have any in the back? And what IS this? ;-)
	3:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @NSK - Come and relax! It sounds like you;re having a hellish time <3
	3:26pm Domenic: Dragon fruit has no taste, and its expensive.
	3:26pm Rich in Washington: my whole family's career story is working for a business that continually gets bought out by a series of larger businesses. My mom worked at a garden center of a hardware store which got bought out by a company my father worked for, making them coworkers, then the same company bought the grocery store my brother worked for. I was a sucker who washed dishes at a couple of restaurants in town so escaped the weird dynamic.
	3:27pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST I used to work with a woman years ago who was rather proud of her appearance but fortunately had a great ability to laugh at herself. She came into work late one day and sat at her desk, giggling to herself. I asked her what was up and she told me she had gone to the dentist (in a mall -- who goes to a mall dentist?) and had redone her lipstick without looking in the mirror after the dentist was done. She said she was walking though the mall and all sorts of boys and men were giving her big smiles. She didn't realize what was up until she got in the work bathroom and saw she basically had bright red clown make-up around her mouth from applying lipstick on a numb face.
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @solo - Same here to be honest :-) I have a specific Vancouver Safeway in my head listening to this. Low Googie type building with those amazing 70s font faces and daises everywhere :-)
	3:27pm notsoKWYET: unfortunately I need to get some numbers to my new friend Rose so daddy can get paid out big from his shitty company
	3:27pm solo mon: Last year I tried to buy “ground cherries” and they almost refused to believe they existed at the register.
	3:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Phillippe - THAT is fabulous!!! :-)
	3:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: funny, i just did that, too!
	3:28pm Mr Fab: as opposed to, what, "air cherries"?
	3:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Solo - I've been trying to find powdered mushrooms to no avail. :-(
	3:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): ok, not really, but if i did try to put lipstick on it would be weird
	3:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I tried to put on mascara on a moving Tube train once. It didn't go well ...!
	3:29pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): just eating mashed potatoes is tricky enough
	3:29pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST you didn't strike me as a mall dentist kind of person
	3:29pm solo mon: Haha she was Diane Ladd in wild at heart.
	3:29pm matty dread: Good Luck Dan
	3:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): GG: i think that the decor in the Thriftway photo is inspired by North Coast Indigenous art traditions. Very popular style in the PNW
	3:31pm solo mon: Haha they r called ground cherries?! It said it on the sign in the produce dept. they were like tomatillos? But sweeter? I don’t know.
	3:31pm Phillippe Bastille: Pre-dated that movie by about 5 years. Maybe the inspiration?
	3:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - That was always my favourite thing growing up :-) I have a major obsession with First Nations art - I even took a course in it many years ago :-) Whenever we'd go up in the mountains I always wanted to stop at tourist shops and pick up tiny sculptures and pictures.
	3:32pm solo mon: Phillippe maybe David Lynch went to a mall dentist too?
	3:32pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Phillippe Bastille: i have the best dentist. he looks like Shel Silverstein and listens to local community radio!
	3:33pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - PNW First Nations art is really difficult to do. If I didn't already love it I certainly gained an even greater respect for it after that :-)
	3:33pm Phillippe Bastille: @solo mon If I ever meet him, I will have to ask him if he knew a woman named Willie. I'm sure he'd remember.
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There's a ton of wonderful PNW First nations art and sculpture in museums in and around Stanley Park in Vancouver. Really gorgeous. :-)
	3:35pm Phillippe Bastille: @GST my kind of dentist, except for the fact I'm terrified of them.
	3:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): DJ GeorgyGirl: we need to talk. I have the honor of knowing some of the finest North Coast traditional carvers alive.
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm okay with dentists but I am deeply, deeply phobic about general anaesthetic. I once had my wisdom teeth removed under local anaesthetic and it was worth it just to hear the dentist swearing like a sailor and screaming ;-)
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Yes PLEASE!!! :-D xx
	3:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): here's a slideshow of Calvin Hunt's commissioned totem poles to view while you listen: www.calvinhunt.com...
	3:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Those are EXQUISITE!!!
	3:42pm solo mon: Granny beautiful!!
	3:47pm captain mike: Did Brian Eno ever release “Music for Supermarkets”?
	3:47pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): My favorite Calvin Hunt story is about the time some white tourists visited his studio and saw him using a chainsaw, "Oh, is that the way your ancestors did it?" they asked, thinking they were hilarious. Without missing a beat, Calvin says, "And i suppose you traveled here in a covered wagon?"
	3:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi captain mike! Good question! I don't think so ... But I could be wrong ;-)
	3:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Granny - Lol!!! I think they needed some arnica for that burn ;-)
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @captain mike - There is a Jean-Michel Jarre "Music Pour Supermarkets from the early 80s.

	3:50pm Phillippe Bastille: @DJ GG its an anesthetic fail that gave me my fear of dentists. Somehow I wound up with novacaine dripping from my ear and a completely un-numbed tooth.

	3:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Phillippe - My goodness! That sounds awful! Poor you <3
