And true to today's subject, this post is totally "apropos of nothing."

No dancing allowed.

TOD: I had no favorite radio shows when growing up. Everything was Top 40. My dad used to gripe about there being no local C/W stations.

When I was in college (1966-70), and had my own car, I discovered a station called "W-O-W-O", and it played great music all day long (when I could get the signal, that is).

I've never known the particulars, but I reckoned there were certain times each night when WOWO could boost its signal. Otherwise, you played heck finding many stations still on the air. It was out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, which was, to me, one of those exotic "northerly mid-western cities" from where I was in South Cackalackey.

I wonder how dear reader Jason is feeling today. I hope he is feeling well and did not return to work to find his desk littered with crumbs and empty food wrappers.

I'm here! My tummy is still rumbling (and not in a 'Hmmm...I'm hungry' kind of way), but I'm here. I feel better than yesterday - at least the headache is gone. Thanks for asking.

I don't know from DJs, but I remember the University of Louisville's classical station. They used to play Cast Recordings every Wednesday night. That's how I was first introduced to Patti LuPone in ANYTHING GOES! I ran out and got the recording immediately. I also remember screaming out EVITA in our basement when they broadcast that one - both discs! Oh, it was wonderful...

A precursor to Monday Night Musicals at Splash!, I suppose...

Oooh! DR Jose: Do you want to try to catch Seth's "Deconstructing..." show when you're back?

DR JRand, I'll let you know if the SUPERMAN set comes today what, if anything is there. I don't think there will be anything other than the feature film version of SUPERMAN AND THE MOLE MEN.

I'll write my thoughts on MEDIUM. Once I see it. Lunch is almost ready, so I will get off here, fix my plate, and then watch MEDIUM.

I'm up, I'm up. I must have been so annoyed at AOL last night that I forgot to lock yesterday's notes.

I still couldn't get the Internet via AOL this morning and ultimately had to do the tired old restarting of the computer. Then it worked fine.

It's still gray out, but it doesn't look like it's raining - lightly drizzling maybe. My pressing plant lady is supposed to drop by and pick up the Starfighter master - she called at nine and said she'd be on her way (from Burbank) just as soon as she put on some clothes. Said she'd call when she was on her way out the door. Hasn't called yet, and I must leave here at 10:45 for the El Portal meeting.

Today I dressed myself in a brand new pair of black slacks, a brand new short sleeved, mock turtleneck sweater and my fresh from the dry-cleaner black wool blazer. I felt quite well dressed as I left the door this morning.

I stopped for gasoline and promptly managed to spill a few drops on my new trousers...

about an hour ago I lost my footing while carrying my coffee from the kitchen to my desk and even though it was covered I managed to splash some all over the centre of my sweater.

Just to complete the process I have just managed to dribble some cheese sauce from my macaroni and cheese lunch on the lapel of my blazer.

I think I'll go find a chocolate fountain to dabble in for a while......

Another radio memory. Some NPR station or college station used to run the British panel show, MY WORD, when I was in high school and I've been a fan of it and its companion show MY MUSIC ever since. I also am a die-hard fan of its two raconteurs/comedians Frank Muir and Dennis Nordern. I listened to an old My Word just last night on BBC 7.

According to Esquire Magazine, men over 30 should not skip.

Why is the turtle and the neck always being mocked?

CD master has been picked up, and I shall shortly be on my way to the El Portal.

Nine things that are very irritating:

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #76 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:35:43 AM »

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #77 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:36:04 AM »

3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #78 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:36:22 AM »

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they, and how the hell can I avoid them?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #79 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:36:51 AM »

5. When people say, while watching a film with you, "Did you see that?". No, you Moron, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #80 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:37:11 AM »

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a
choice there, did ya sunshine?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #81 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:37:31 AM »

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, and it couldn't, therefore, be new.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #82 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:37:55 AM »

8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #83 on:** October 18, 2005, 10:38:16 AM »

and last, but not least:

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?" If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

The preceding was courtesy of a posting at another list over which I laughed and laughed, and I just had to share it with y'all.

DR Vixmom, have you met the new tide stick? I unfortunately use it constantly!

(but really it is a huge help and gets off stains right away without water!).
