What's In a Name?
benjamax:
Names seem to have little to do with success, as demonstrated by Now That’s What I Call Music, a name so bad that it sounds like one of the rejects for Gee, Now These Are Some Really Great Tunes. Take this Jamaican cuisine place near a gym I go to. It’s called Cool Runnings, like the 1993 John Candy Bobsledding vehicle. If they choose the name only because it’s related to Jamaica,...

Friday’s Topic: Time Machine!
If you had access to a time machine (in Russian: Vremya Maschina), what in the name of Janus would you do with it? Warn President Lincoln? Buy low in 1932 and sell high in 2007? Poison baby Hitler?

Gay for Andy Week
One of the several e-mailed suggestions for future show topics, verbatim from Listener J. in California:

E-mails From WFMU's Scott
Scott: Hey weirdoes - you've got mail! This mail is in a box that's too big to fit into either of your respective boxes in the kitchen, and so I've left it in the space beneath the DJ mailboxes in the kitchen. You can't miss it, it's the priority mail box addressed to both of you.
Andy: Is it ticking, beeping, smell funny or seem to contain liquid? Just wondering.
Scott: Yes, yup, oh yeah, and can't tell. I wouldn't worry about it tho, I've seen way worse.
