Hello, eye, eye, eye, lens, iris, & lash. You, the listener, had to be listening to get that. (If you were, then I’m sorry.)
JC will finally get to enjoy a summer this year, solely based on the fact that he believes that the Cardinals season is going to be less than stellar.
Our first computers:
Me: Commodore 64.
JC: Tandy.
Laurie: her father worked in the computer industry so her 2nd language in high school was DOS, but in adult life it was an Apple.
John & Dave: Gateway.
Local comedian Joe Marlotti opened up for Tom Jones last night at the Family Arena, although he never got to meet him. The scandal Joe learned last night: Tom drinks tap water. The rumors about the panties being thrown constantly at Mr. Jones are still true. At the end of the evening even Joe got thrown a pair of panties. Joe is doing “Animal Makeover TV” for Charter Cable. (It’s not what ya’d think.)
One of the definitions of Smurfing: Dividing a large amount of money into smaller sums to make money laundering easier. Other definitions exist, but decorum doesn’t allow them to be printed here.
A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that one in four girls between the ages of 14 & 19 has an STD.
Here’s Dawn Wells’ mug shot from her October arrest.
I saw The Wedding Singer last night. Thanks to Julie Lally, formerly of the Fabulous Fox and soon to be new mom.
JC gave an update on his back & some of the things he did while he was “on hiatus.” He tried acupuncture. He had to keep the needles in for six days and was worried about having those needles at the airport. So he had “Triple C” take them out. And she did – almost. She forgot one & they found it while in Mexico. He went to one of the Excellence Resorts in Mexico.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is being remade. The original was released in 1978; it is a really bad movie but it is entertaining. It doesn’t qualify as a truly "bad" movie because much of the "badness" was intentional.
We talked about hockey goalie fights today. So we had Ron Baechle - “The Towel Man” - tell us his favorite. His pick for best goalie fight is the Blues vs. Red Wings brawl featuring a fight between CuJo & Tim Cheveldae.
Ron is a commercial artist for his day job. Contact him at 636.475.6055.
The JoY was “Love Client Number 9,” the horrid song about Elliot Spitzer. It’s a parody of the Searchers’ “Love Potion #9” (but that was a remake of a song by the Clovers). We also did a stand-up from Lewis Black (his new show “The Root of All Evil” debuts tonight after the season premiere of “South Park.”) The F4 featured real Beatles songs to cleanse our palates after last night’s “Idol.” The Vault was the Beach Boys’ “Surfer Girl” performed by Paul Simon.
Finally, Darryl Strawberry now resides in O’Fallon, Missouri with his 3rd wife, Tracy, whom he married in October 2006. He met her in a drug recovery convention and the two have founded "The Darryl Strawberry Foundation," an organization dedicated to children with autism. On April 7, 1989, Strawberry was sued in Clayton, Missouri by Lisa Clayton (not to be confused with his second wife, Lisa Watkins) claiming that he is the father of Clayton's son. On January 10, 1990, blood tests proved that Strawberry was indeed the boy's father.
Don't Do Anything Stupid,
