I just laughed my butt off reading your Powdered Milk Biscut commercial and the Ketchup Advisory Board. You left out the Norwegian Bachelor farmers though. Wait Wait Don't tell me is another favorite as is/was Car Talk. Sure Garrison can get wordy but Prairie Home Companion definitely has it's moments. Dumb moments too but mostly pretty entertaining. It all beats watching reality TV.

Perhaps instead of a chill pill the Ketchup Advisory Board could offer some assistance.

These are the good years, INGO is here to please.

Life is flowing like ketchup on your peas.

Ketchup, for the good times

Ketchup. Ketchup.

As in many mining towns, the social climate in early San Francisco was chaotic. Committees of Vigilance were formed in 1851, and again in 1856, in response to crime and government corruption, but also had a strong element of anti-immigrant violence, and arguably created more lawlessness than they eliminated.[dubious - discuss] This popular militia movement lynched 12 people, kidnapped hundreds of Irishmen and government militia members, and forced several elected officials to resign.[citation needed] The Committee of Vigilance relinquished power both times after it decided the city had been "cleaned up." This mob activity later focused on Chinese immigrants, creating many race riots.[citation needed] These riots culminated in the creation of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882 that aimed to reduce Chinese immigration to the United States by limiting immigration to males and reducing numbers of immigrants allowed in the city.[dubious - discuss] The law was not repealed until 1943.

"Fire On The Mountain"

Took my fam'ly away from my Carolina home
Had dreams about the West and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end but so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

And there's fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waitin' for me there
Waitin' for me there​

That was a great song written and performed by the Marshall Tucker Band in 1975. Written by Toy Caldwell and released on their 1975 album "Searchin' for a Rainbow"...if you think the fiddle sounds familiar it's because the fiddle player on that cut was Charlie Daniels. One of my favorite bands back in the day.
