2011 WFMU Marathon starts today! An appeal.
Who could have predicted it would wear so well for...
Andy: Do you think that will wear well for the rest of the hour?
Frangry: "Have a good one"?
Andy: "Have a good one," yea.
Frangry: Most definitely!

As Usual?
Whatever Andy. Let me just remind you that I TOOK A DAY OFF OF WORK LAST YEAR to cohost with Bryce for THREE LONG ASS HOURS. So that means I’m off the hook with cohosting duties until 2013. So lay off.
Fun Fact: Andy’s wife, Beth Heinsohn, was on New York’s Fox Channel 5 (above) and CBS Channel 2 today talking about the relationship between events in Libya and global fuel prices, which we’d intended to discuss on Shut Up, Weirdo this week until she stole the idea. Real mature, Beth.
Funner Fact: Channel 2 misspelled her name and got wrong the name of the organization she...

Anyone got a gun, real or fake, that I can borrow for a photo shoot on February 27th?

You Have To Pay For the Good Things In Life

That’s right, suckers. Including me. Adopt me for 2011 before some other weirdo beats you to it! It’s all to benefit WFMU. You have until March 7, but you’d better hurry. And if you can’t afford me (because let’s face it, I’m a fancy bitch), there’s other nice things to get, like the new Shut Up, Weirdo calendar.

The Punch Line: Turns out we could have just said “clitorus” after all.
It rhymes with Doritos.
– Andy, trying to come up with a discreet way of say “clitoris” on the air. Listen to the fiasco at 7:30 minute mark.

He tells the story of how he picked me up at 1:23:00. Love him. Also, a tough ass rapper talking about his “facebook wall” and “tweets” is fucking priceless.

Explaining Andy's 10 Percent Remark
Andy was citing Sturgeon’s Law, the notion that “90% of everything is crap,” therefore 10% of everything [“film, literature, consumer goods, etc.”] is not crap. Similar, and more mathematically based, is the Pareto Principle (or Pareto distribution, or the 80-20 Rule), which says that “roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes” (e.g., 80% of a...

Although I already made an entry a few days ago in which I ranted about how things seem to be going downhill in shitty-Puerto Rico, it was inevitable for me to think about “how the world could be a better place.” This though was triggered not only about Tuesday’s entry; it was also…

Art Theft Update
We neglected to tell y’all after we got of the air last Friday, the missing Johnyy Muller drawing was back in its place. Whoever took it was shamed into returning to the scene of the crime while we one the air, not 10 feet away, and reversing this heinous theft.
