Dear AksMe, I am my own bartender, meaning I get slosho in front of the TV with a bottle of whateva. Do I hate myself?

The China Girls always remind me of the women who recite letters, words, and numerals for Numbers Stations. (See also the Conet Project.) Therefore, they always send a shiver up my spine. Thanks for the background!

Although this is very entertaining, I don't get the link to WFMU; I was hoping for a WFMU channel on Youtube. Are these all things that they'd linked to in the past on their "Beware of the Blog" Video Clips site? If so, why not link directly to the WFMU site instead of YouTube?
