Habitat Enrichment

Apr 18, 2024 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

compulsion cheese cardgame

I've invented a role-playing game you can play with playlists, knowledge of the card game WAR and a deck of cards. Preferably the WPRB deck which features a mind controlling cheese. Join Stitching Pink and me as we laugh our way through an adventure.

good morning, all, stitching pink arriving around 7:30 to START A WAR
Krista (host) 7:15:46 AM
we've got some battle music goin right now
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 7:16:32 AM
Oh goodness, I hope the war scours the landscape and puts a curse upon the land!
Krista (host) 7:16:45 AM
I can already see you're choosing the villain deck
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 7:18:03 AM
Correct. Specifically the American deck where one arms both sides with arms, and builds up a figurehead to jump into the impending power vacuum.
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 7:18:59 AM
(The scoured cursed land will be developed into $2700 a month 740 sqft condos and a Costco)
Krista (host) 7:21:15 AM
painfully true, the old car factory in St Paul was turned into condos, right on top of all that cadmium and lead
Dale Hazelton 7:24:24 AM
krista, you want a healthy place to live or a colorfully painted torino?
Krista (host) 7:24:37 AM
dale you've given me an impossible choice
Krista (host) 7:27:54 AM
you can buy bits of the paint chunks from the factories, it's a new type of precious stone
Krista (host) 7:28:16 AM

Mmm nothing better than unaffordable housing conveniently located next to a huge parking lot housing a superstore and a Dominos
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 7:29:01 AM
Despite being only 1500 feet from one's bedroom, they canNOT walk there because there's a highway exit/stroad in the way with no pedestrian access.
TAndy: Monthly Doner 🥙 7:29:18 AM
I can keep going!

Richard in Rocky Hill 9:14:24 AM
@ Krista (host) The Gap Band's "Burn Rubber On Me (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)" was a terrific follow up to their classic "You Dropped A Bomb On Me." Thanks for the play.
