Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Dayn f’ing Perry. Amen.
“émigré”, Carson.
French pronunciation /emi’g?e/
American pronunciation /’?m?g?e/ (That’s how I think you Americans pronounce it, at least.)
Note the plain old boring G. Cut it out with the soft Gs. I thought you spoke French, you miserable specimen.
Damn formatting. The first ? is supposed to be a uvular fricative (i.e. the French R). The second is the vowel in “bent”. The third is the vowel in “pin”. The fourth is a regular American rhotic R.
You mean those weren’t all glottal stops?
This was peak cistulli-perry
I’ve said that so many times that it has lost all meaning to me.
Splendid Table is from APM not NPR. I thought you were supposed to be a white northeastern liberal, Carson, you’re supposed to know these things.
LMU’s coach was Paul Westhead. A separate entity from Paul Westphal. RIP Hank Gathers.
What did I just listen to? A nonsense sandwich between two slices of Herb Alpert.

what the hell was that noise
Sounded like a coffee grinder to me.
Ah, dammit! Now I have to put off listening until I’m ready to stare out the window, waiting for the next one.
These are my favorites.
Dayn and Carson, a Banknotarian’s lovers. Why am I not surprised?
From the LA Times:
“Students and staff at the small campus of brick Colonial-style buildings were shocked 18 months ago when Nobles was forced to resign over allegations of financial improprieties. That was bad enough. But then the details of his alleged secret life began to trickle out: hints of offshore bank accounts, tales of far-flung liaisons with prostitutes and a mysterious vial of strychnine found in his office.”
Strychnine!? Who was this dude, Billy Lee Tuttle?
