OMG the stream is actually starting on time.

Razz-triny Tri-nay.


So the Dickens fair is happening now (it's actually pretty fun, even though it's pretty much like the Renaissance Faire idea moved up a few centuries) and the Dickens nerds are big on the Cockney rhyming slang.

"He went up the pears" means "He went up the stairs" b/c someone got the idea to substitute "apples and pears" for the word "stairs", and then they shortened it to just "pears".

That's why it's called a "raspberry" when you make that sound with your tongue:  in Cockney rhyme "raspberry tart" was used for "fart."

I did not know that...
and any fool knows

That's awesome! They use the "apples and pears, stairs" in "To Sir, With Love".

What/Who is this "You Lost Me" song? Completely unfamiliar. But not bad.

I'll give a BOS for one of REM's better grooves, "Can't Get There from Here".

I did. "Positively Lost Me" was one of my favorite songs in high school!  Glad you guys enjoyed it.

Yes, it rocks and smokes at the same time.
