Ben! (Boo!)Listening to an 1989 full broadcast of the #DrDemento show while watching the #NASCAR race cause I'm getting tired of the constant talk of the stupid playoff system and all the right-wing campaign ads for #Virginia elections every ad break. I would recommend this, it is a pretty good time.

Mecha Vs Kaiju KICKSTARTER!It's the end of an era as we bid a fond farewell to #DrDemento! I first encountered this radio madman in 1980, staying up late on a school night to listen to his insane comedy songs. Download his final show on his website at

Thank you #DrDemento
AnneTheWriterUsually, I just post memes. But this past Saturday, the very funny Mr. #TomLehrer passed away at the age of 97. He was a composer, singer, comedian, mathematician, teacher-- and inventor of the Jello Shot. He also wrote educational songs for childrens TV, such as for #TheElectricCompany and #SchoolhouseRock .
So this week, one #HootinTootinTuesday includes a link to a compilation of some of his catchiest and most hilarious music.

Like finding TOS not til afterschool reruns, it was #DrDemento led me to Tom Lehrer: “Masochism Tango,” “The Elements,” “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”…part of my teenhood 🤯, along with Python.
What a fiercely unfamed life. shm.to/nZp5gQ5

"Radical" Russ BelvilleI got to thinking that "Big Balls" to these kids—an ancient bawdy novelty song—is what "Shaving Cream" was to me at their age. #AT40 #DrDemento
