Show Notes:
1. Do you realize how much research I put into this show? While looking up Polish dishes for the St. Wladislaw’s Ladies’ Auxiliary fundraiser cookbook, I found a recipe for Bigos (Polish Hunter’s Stew) and cooked it, really in real life.

2. Falk adds the letter “s” to pluralize “gołąbki,” not realizing the word is already plural. The word for one Polish cabbage roll is “gołąbek.” Uncle Verne and I felt it was too complicated to correct him during the show.

Credits:
The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Here Comes Satanic Claws - Episode 44

Can Falk and The Cherry Pachyderm neutralize the ho, ho, horror of Satanic Claws? How can you hear stockings hung from a mantle? Do Christmas carols satisfy the burn barrel acapella doo wop ordinance? Find out!

Here Comes Satanic Claws, episode 44 of This Gun in My Hand, was composed by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, information on how to subscribe, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. Makes a great gift! Who knows if you’ve been bad or good? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. Remember in episode 24, “Consulting Defectives” when Falk inspired Latthew Morressier to become The Cherry Pachyderm?

2. Falk: “The Review of Radical Political Economics? How did you get your hands on this?” Falk is surprised anyone in his era (1939-ish) could get a copy of this journal because it wasn’t published until 1969. Personally I have no opinion whether they “[strain] the limits of their subject area to comment on odd current events and pop culture.” That’s Falk’s conclusion.
