Wow that was great, must be 6 or 7 years since I saw Young Frankenstein!

Great inspiration to take the rest of a Sat nite, put on a pot of Kauai coffee and get to work on my next radio show on Thur: hallows and the eves of such!

For spooky coincidence purposes, I should mention that, at the time (30 ago!), my 9 year-old nephew had a pet named... Sven

Too weird to be a lie!

Watching YF years ago with the 9y.o. neph, one thing that sent him rolling off the couch into a ball of laughter was the tense darts game with the Inspector when one dart flies out the window and a cat yowls.

I hadn't noticed that before, but everytime I've seen it since, cracks me up

Ha no, Quackser Fortune makes a living scooping horse poop. But the internets just reminded me that the co-star was Margot Kidder, who later hooked up mid-air with Superman!

Cast intros mention Gene Wilder, and if you're a vidhound, there's one that'll stump your hi falutin' cinephile friends:

"Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin in the Bronx" (1970)

Gene does an Irish accent!

Me nearly never home on a Sat nite so Young Frankenstein is a nice surprise.

Recall once years ago, it came on cable on a Sat morn and nephew of 9yo plopped down to watch.

Never saw a kid literally fall over laughing so many times.

Hearing all the Moody Blues albums in a row, something pops out:

You can always spot the Ray Thomas songs!

Have his solo alb "From Mighty Oaks" and I like it, but it lands like... what if the Beatles had put out an album of all Ringo tunes?

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 3d

All lined up, 2 hrs of tribute to John Lodge, bass & vocals for The Moody Blues.

Passed away on Saturday aged 82, slipping thru a veil of White Satin 😥

Have all the Moodies' solo albums, and easily proclaim Lodge's "Natural Avenue" the top of that crop!

Catch the show Thurs 10pm-12mid on:

Ok this time for real! Have assurance from mgmt that the Go To Sleep radio show about Harvestime will hit air in 1 hour!

Julia Lee, Dana Carvey, NRBQ, Jim Bunkley, Jeffry Denman, Dr West's Medicine Junk Show, Imperial Swing Orchestra, and of course Sugar Chile Robinson says "I'll Eat My Spinach"

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 10d

Another fav this wk: The Arrogant Worms saying "greenhouses are prisons for slaves"

One song where the backing vocals are funnier than the lead, even when the lead vocal says: "I've heard the screams of the vegetables," the backing vocs call out "you fat gourmet slob."

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 10d

Love how a rhyme in time saves a fine...

"I use rutabaga skins for the clothes I wear,

Rutabaga extract to wash my hair,

Rutabaga vapor instead of gas,

Rutabaga paper to wipe my nose"

Rest of the song always cracks me up; rutabagas don't grow on bushes, vines, nor trees.

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 10d

Lucky 7 hours from now, come 'n git it!

Bad harvest on volunteer radio last week, so🤞we'll bring it into the barn tonite at 10pm Eastern on 106.3 in Rochester NY

Sorry, no eggplant tunes but there's one peach: The Cackle Sisters off old-time radio with "Peach Picking Time In Georgia"

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 14d

Silly rabbit, Kix are for Knicks.

The term isn't Disco Ball, it's Escobar, as in the notorious kingpin Pablo, which is a reference to 70s pop band Pablo Cruise, the unused half of which is the SAME HALF as Tom Cruise, who according to South Park lives in the closet of... Stan.

Which means "fan". 🫶

"Those who deny natural rights do not have a standard for judging when govt's violate the rights and invade the liberties of men. When men are thought to have no rights except those granted by their rulers, the absolute power which the rulers exercise cannot be criticized as tyrannical or despotic."

Cousin Nubbin @cousinnubbin.bsky.social · 16d

Ahhhh weel, sorta 'mbarassing when the station does 10 mins of smooth jazz then drops into 2 hours of dead air instead of my show.

That's what it is: all-volunteer non-commercial radio haha!

OK, we'll try a show about Harvest Time next week on Thur 10/09... the veggies will keep in the fridge.
