"The Oculist" by The Chinese Restaurants. Morning Origami Tue Dec 24 with DJ AskTheQuestion on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hiiiiiiiiiiiii friends!

good morning.

Greetings Dale! What's your verdict on the season?

i'm not religious so christmas doesn't mean all that it should to me. and i'm over the commercialization....call me charlie brown.

All that it *shouldn't* ! This station imposes no holiday guilt. Plus you don't have to buy us

we all need a holiday safe space.

i wonder if robots can get nervous and have sweaty palms.

The poor claw robots at arcades, designed to fail, are shaking from shame in their metal boots

they all seem designed so that the claws fold in when they touch the toys. still, a chance for a guy to try to be a hero for his date.

Man vs Robot; Robot vs Self

so there's a part 1 to this song?

Yes, side A!

a lot of secrets buried under the planet's surface.

Imagine our lives dissected out of the ice!

never heard a pysch freakout version of barbara allen. i like it!

morning DJ ATQ and Dale.

I saw I missed my request of the Stapelia gigantea last week! Thanks tho for covering it.

mine didn't bloom this year, which was kind of a relief actually.

Aaaah you have one! That is fantastic. Glad you didn't get stunk this year

I'm still mystified how it figured out how to smell like rotten meat

How did flowers figure out how to be purple or smell beautiful? How did our palms learn to hold things?

one year i had a little fire going outside and thought i'd toss a branch from my christmas tree into it before i tossed it into the woods. POOF! that was the last real tree i bought, didn't want something that flammable in the house anymore

I like the idea of tree worship

Was that Germanic tree called Yggdrasil?

"I got a lotta problems with you people!"

Looks like Yggdrasil is an ash tree, not an oak! So maybe not

Flammability!!! That's some real controversy

"God bless Mistah Scrooge, he done did the turn about! He's the Lord's man today!" ~ Tiny Tim in Lord Buckley's "Scrooge"

I saw you were part of recommending that, Richard -- thank you!! I tuned in partway through and was very confused until I wasn't, and it was a greeeaat trip

brb, worshipping a tree

this is lovely.

God Bless DJ AskTheQuestion! He's become a real gone hep cat, down with Lord Buckley, gettin' on the Path of Love!

Thanks DJ ATQ, happy time of year everyone!

I'm rarely listening to the radio at this time, what a treat!

Nice to see you, Commie Francis!

Cheers everyone, grateful to all of you for listening!

thanks! have a great holiday!
