Would it be feasible to issue ba.mountain-folk with microphones capable of
public broadcast? I envisage a group morning talk show in which thoughts are
aired as opposed to posted.

This show could be:

* Anchored by Glen Appleby
* Have traffic reports issued by "Mr. Road Rage" Geoff Miller
* Have Sensitive Religious and Government editorials by Tim May
* Have weather reports from Sherwood Harrington
* Legal analysis by our own Greta Van Sustern, Shark Lady
* And have engineering services provided by Jeff Lieberman
* Etc.

Additional slots can be allocated on a member-suggested basis.

You *want* to hear me snoring?

Kool. He can tell us about all of those folks that he runs off
of the road each day during his commute.

>* Have Sensitive Religious and Government editorials by Tim May

If he can be ... pulled away from his most recent necropheliac
conquest.

Religion might be an interesting topic for him. After all, he
does know what happens to people after they die.

No, thanks, Tim. No need for the JPGs.

>* Have weather reports from Sherwood Harrington

Aw, that we no longer hear from Heather, Mel and the other Rain
Chicks.

>* Legal analysis by our own Greta Van Sustern, Shark Lady

Not a fair comparison! Sweet Greta felt the need for plastic
surgery. Anne simply has no need for that.

>* And have engineering services provided by Jeff Lieberman

Assuming that he would ever get back on the net, of course.

Actually, the traffic report of most interest here probably would involve how
things are moving on the skyway, so *you* should do that. Geoff can be the
restaurant reviewer.

Oh, bullshit. Nobody gave a second thought to the idea of getting
irritated while driving until some nitwit coined that catchy,
alliterative phrase "road rage." Then all of a sudden we had a
social crisis on our hands, sprung forth fully grown like what's
his name from the brow of Croesus.

Hey, the Skyway WOULD solve all of the traffic problems from Carmel to
Campbell. It could be modeled after the Pulaski Skyway in Newark, NJ
(http://www.roadfan.com/sanpula3.jpg). It's just an idea ahead of its
time...

Has *somebody* got issues?

Most folks, after driving in the mountains for just over a short
while, have come to accept that there are more aggressive drivers
on the road.

Yes, your posts on the subject have given you something of a
special notice, but I don't think that most of us actually
believe that you are the Maniac From Hell ... as much as you
might like to give that impression.

However, if you ever do manage to get a cop to pull over for ya
with your standard methods, do let us know and well give you a
new Special Place.

You're writing like a chick again, Glenda. Cut the estrogen dosage.

(Be aware they don't actually call it "estrogen" on the pills your
doctor is prescribing...usually something along the lines of
"deoxyprednisone sulfate." They hide the fact that they're calming you
down by giving you chick pills.)

Pretty soon he'll sprout bitch-tits like that guy in "Fight Club,"
and be an earnest pain in the ass about eating veal.

Actually I've done a fair amount of radio over that-away, including several
stints at KSCO, and over this-away at KKUP.

Sad that we have to start surrounding our sad (speaking for

Next thing ya know, someone will demand that I start using

"Bullshit" is the past tense for "bullshit"? I thought it woulda
been "bullshat".
