	3:51pm StringOFperils: Not you Rich. I meant Arb!
	🧂 3:52pm solo mon: ↳ arb @3:50 The war on Christmas is a Claus war!
	🧂 3:53pm WR: ↳ StringOFperils @3:51 ART?
	3:54pm StringOFperils: Wherefor?
	3:55pm arb: ↳ solo mon @3:52 oh holo night
	🧂 3:55pm cklequ: Sometimes I forget I'm at work when I'm listening to this show.
	3:55pm StringOFperils: Pew humper
	3:58pm Santa von Clausewitz: War is politics by other means.
	3:59pm spodiodi: 🙄
	3:59pm StringOFperils: Santa sleighing me
	4:04pm Santa von Clausewitz: On Donner, On Blitzen!
	4:05pm StringOFperils: Saskia made me think of the love of Rembrandt's life, and since this is the territory of women I'm putting up a WIKI page about her, because she has an important place in history. You can even re-gift it if you don't like it. en.wikipedia.org...
	🧂 4:07pm WR: ↳ arb @3:49 No sure what holidj means? Best I can find is dj spinning songs for the Hindu Festival of Colours, Love, and Spring (Holi). www.youtube.com...
	4:08pm arb: there is no holiday I despise as much as Holi
	4:08pm arb: i've spent at least 3 holi's in india and I can't leave my room for days
	🧂 4:11pm WR: ↳ arb @4:08 Not time well spent. Sorry to trigger such memories.
	4:12pm arb: its ok I know it looks lovely from afar
	4:14pm arb: ↳ WR @4:07 it's a portmanteau of holiday and djay
	4:16pm Santa von Clausewitz: Even Santa got slapped & slathered with powdered primary colors during Holi once upon a time. That was quite enuf, but the elfins were into it rather more.
	4:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Introducing The Brides Of Christ II" by "Toy Muzik" This is fantastic!
	4:17pm arb: the powder colors are fine (when they aren't laced with toxins that induce blindness), but holi turns into a weeklong excuse for men to sexually harass women, dump buckets of water on them grope them etc....
	🧂 4:18pm chresti: ↳ arb @4:08 all that pigment thrown around can't be good
	4:18pm arb: wow really bringing out my inner scrooge :)
	4:18pm arb: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:17 <3
	🧂 4:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ arb @4:17 Well that's depressing but I shouldn't be surprised I guess.
	🧂 4:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:17 It would fit right into one of your sets :)
	🧂 4:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "Ave Maria" by "Chris Wind" I'm cackling and falling out of my chair over this.
	🧂 4:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @4:28 It's really good and echoes a lot of thoughts I've had in the decades following my Catholic girlhood. Rattling off all those Hail Marys...
	4:35pm Rich in Washington: What? Melt.. the North Pole?
	🧂 4:36pm Yvang: Melt the guns first
	4:36pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Melt the North Pole" by "Negativland" Global Warming's gonna beat you to it
	🧂 4:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Feldy @4:36 Exactly
	4:38pm Rich in Washington: I've tried in vain to find the origin of this sample and I've given up. I've also learned that I like NOT knowing the sources of lots of Negativland (etc.) stuff.
	4:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @4:36 billionaire scum will just stand on top of our heads as the oceans rise up to our necks
	4:40pm arb: hey up there clausewitz, missed ya earlier
	4:41pm Santa von Clausewitz: The Blob (Paramount Pictures, 1958) was dropped in the Arctic, where it was said: "The cold will stop the Blob as long as the Arctic stays cold, but it won't kill it."
	🧂 4:45pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:40 or escape to some luxe space station/satellite/
	4:45pm kev: Hi sorry I’m late
	4:45pm arb: hi kev
	🧂 4:46pm solo mon: Santa Claus Von Bulow is coming to town
	4:51pm Santa von Clausewitz: For one's odds re: multibillionaire de luxe escape routes, consult "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch." Even Philip K. Dick was skeptical.
	4:55pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Yow, just came in. Hi Arb and all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all
	4:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Santa von Clausewitz @4:51 skuM totally reminds me of Eldritch or some other antagonist from a PKD novel, especially his 'let's shit up outhouse Earth and move to Mars" scheme.
	4:56pm pot8o: thanks arb! have a great week everyone!
	4:57pm Feldy: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:40 so true Rich
	🧂 4:57pm WR: ↳ Santa von Clausewitz @4:51 If after they have driven us over the cliff it will be little solace to us if their parachute doesn't open. We will all be going down.
	4:57pm spodiodi: thanks, arb! great show
	4:57pm Little Danny: thank u arb!!! this warmed me
	4:57pm Rich in Washington: Thank yoooo arb! Fantastic show this afternoon! Happy whateversmas!

	🧂 4:58pm Yvang: Thanks arb! Great Xmas pop tunes!
	🧂 4:59pm chresti: Thanks for the holiday cheer, arb!
	4:59pm Feldy: When you wish upon an ARB your dreams come true
	🧂 4:59pm WR: Bah! Humbug!
	🧂 5:00pm Kat in the chat: Thank you arb!
	🧂 5:00pm Yvang: I want arb to control the media!

	4:05pm StringOFperils: Saskia made me think of the love of Rembrandt's life, and since this is the territory of women I'm putting up a WIKI page about her, because she has an important place in history. You can even re-gift it if you don't like it. en.wikipedia.org...
	🧂 4:07pm WR: ↳ arb @3:49 No sure what holidj means? Best I can find is dj spinning songs for the Hindu Festival of Colours, Love, and Spring (Holi). www.youtube.com...
	4:08pm arb: there is no holiday I despise as much as Holi
	4:08pm arb: i've spent at least 3 holi's in india and I can't leave my room for days
	🧂 4:11pm WR: ↳ arb @4:08 Not time well spent. Sorry to trigger such memories.
	4:12pm arb: its ok I know it looks lovely from afar
	4:14pm arb: ↳ WR @4:07 it's a portmanteau of holiday and djay
	4:16pm Santa von Clausewitz: Even Santa got slapped & slathered with powdered primary colors during Holi once upon a time. That was quite enuf, but the elfins were into it rather more.
	4:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Introducing The Brides Of Christ II" by "Toy Muzik" This is fantastic!
	4:17pm arb: the powder colors are fine (when they aren't laced with toxins that induce blindness), but holi turns into a weeklong excuse for men to sexually harass women, dump buckets of water on them grope them etc....
	🧂 4:18pm chresti: ↳ arb @4:08 all that pigment thrown around can't be good

	🧂 4:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @4:28 It's really good and echoes a lot of thoughts I've had in the decades following my Catholic girlhood. Rattling off all those Hail Marys...
	4:35pm Rich in Washington: What? Melt.. the North Pole?
	🧂 4:36pm Yvang: Melt the guns first
	4:36pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Melt the North Pole" by "Negativland" Global Warming's gonna beat you to it
	🧂 4:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Feldy @4:36 Exactly
	4:38pm Rich in Washington: I've tried in vain to find the origin of this sample and I've given up. I've also learned that I like NOT knowing the sources of lots of Negativland (etc.) stuff.
	4:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @4:36 billionaire scum will just stand on top of our heads as the oceans rise up to our necks
	4:40pm arb: hey up there clausewitz, missed ya earlier

	4:45pm arb: hi kev
	🧂 4:46pm solo mon: Santa Claus Von Bulow is coming to town
	4:51pm Santa von Clausewitz: For one's odds re: multibillionaire de luxe escape routes, consult "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch." Even Philip K. Dick was skeptical.
	4:55pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Yow, just came in. Hi Arb and all. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all
	4:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Santa von Clausewitz @4:51 skuM totally reminds me of Eldritch or some other antagonist from a PKD novel, especially his 'let's shit up outhouse Earth and move to Mars" scheme.
	4:56pm pot8o: thanks arb! have a great week everyone!
	4:57pm Feldy: ↳ Rich in Washington @4:40 so true Rich
	🧂 4:57pm WR: ↳ Santa von Clausewitz @4:51 If after they have driven us over the cliff it will be little solace to us if their parachute doesn't open. We will all be going down.
