World of Don and Mike flashback
Green67321
across by my old copy of The World of Don and Mike CD-Rom. According to Don,
the first CD-Rom game ever released by a pair of DJs (and considering how bad
it is, it's not hard to see why it's the last CD-Rom game ever released by a
pair of DJs, either). Finding it brought back the following memory, not to
mention quite a bit of rage.
The year was 1995 (or 1996, I can't recall for sure). The dot com craze was
just starting to take off, and would soon make millionaires out of poor people,
and then make poor people out of millionaires. Washingtonians everywhere hoped
that Norv Turner would be the Redskins' salvation. The country had yet to
discover that our beloved president enjoyed getting blowjobs in the Oval
Office. And a certain two DJs decided that rather than sell T-shirts and hats
to their fans, they'd take advantage of the tech craze and release a computer
game, not to mention make some rare public appearances to promote it.
So on one Saturday afternoon, thousands (okay, dozens) of fans lined up inside
the Erol's Computer store off Braddock Road, awaiting the arrival of the guys.
They arrived fashionably late, waved to the line of people, and took their
seats at the table that the good staff of Erol's had set up for them. Among
the people in line was a young Green67321, seeing my radio idols for the first
time. It was a moment of awe not to be experienced again until years later
when I saw a black squirrel. A fucking BLACK squirrel! I swear to God, it's
the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Anyway, I get closer and closer to Don and Mike, and when I finally get up
there, Don smiles at me, says hello, and takes my CD-Rom. I too smile and say
hello, and do the same to Mike after Don passed him my CD. Truly this is a
great day, I thought. Perhaps one of the greatest in my life. Here I am, a
foot away from the great Don and Mike, two guys that I'd listened to...nay,
worshiped...since I was 12 years old, talking to them and getting their
autographs. As Mike finished signing the CD, I reached out to retrieve it,
after which I planned to rush back home, and spend hours upon hours playing it
until I got to the part with Strip Trivia.
And then it happened.
As I reached for the CD, Sherri Licker snatches it away from Mike. I was
confused. Don had signed it, Mike had signed it. What else was there for her
to do? Except...wait! She wasn't...I mean she wouldn't possibly...holy shit,
she was! She was signing it! What the fuck? Was it the Don, Mike and Sherri
Show? NO, IT WAS NOT!!!! I mean, she was seated at the table and some fans
were having her autograph their CDs too, but for Christ's sake, she shouldn't
automatically assume that I wanted her fucking autograph on it, too! My mouth
is wide open as she hands it back to me, smiles, and says, "Here you go." I was
stunned. My beautiful CD. Ruined. I looked around to see if there was anyone
else who wanted to further desecrate it. Perhaps a janitor at WJFK who thought
that I'd also want HIS worthless autograph?
Shoulders slumped, I trudged out of Erol's. I thought about warning the other
people in line to make sure to snatch back their CDs before Sherri got her fat
fucking fingers on it, but I figured if I had to suffer, so did they. And then
to add insult to injury, I got home, played it for ten minutes, realized it
sucked, and never touched it again until now. I never did get to Strip Trivia.
The moral of the story: Never put something you care about anywhere near a
wannabe actress, because she just won't be able to stop herself from
autographing it. Bitch.

Black-phase Grey Squirrels are an interesting natural occurrence, and
often startling to people who haven't seen them before. They ARE Grey
Squirrels, just dispalying the recessive genes, like albinos.
There are certain areas in the country where black-phase Grey Squirrels
are more common, one in particular is a neighborhood in Minneapolis near the
Mississippi River.

Well, you may be seeing different species of squirrel as you travel. The
Grey Squirrel includes black-phase squirrels. Brown squirrels may be Fox
Squirrels or other local subspecies. Now, a Red Squirrel is a whole other
thing and don't even get me started on Flying Squirrels.
Have you ever actually SEEN a flying squirrel? Craziest looking thingI've
ever seen. They are nocturnal, but we had one caught in the garage in a bag
of dog food. It was wack, man.

Wow! ;) Such a wonderful story, and you told it so well.
You do seem to have some issues with Sheri...who seemed to be otherwise
well-loved in the D&M world of fandom (along with Diana S.). I didn't really
hear a lot of Sheri, as she was out not long after the show hit the Big Sac, so
I can't really comment on her.
Green67321
Actually, for once, I had no ulterior motive. I just felt like venting.
>Ok, how much do you want for the autographs?
I'd feel bad charging more than a buck for it. Sherri's signature devalues it
that much.
>Or do you already have it on ebay?
No, but if I ever do sell it, it'll probably be bundled with D&M's Sex, Pies,
and Videotape so I can charge more. The price?
One MIIIIIIIILLION dollars!!!!!!!
Green67321
>well-loved in the D&M world of fandom (along with Diana S.).
Aside from the autograph thing, I don't really have anything against her. I
mean, I never particularly liked her, but she never really did anything on the
show to make me dislike her, either (other than babbling on and on about her
non-existant acting career, that is).
Stevie Bridgewater, on the other hand (the traffic babe who replaced Sherri),
was just awful. I think she was actually the last traffic babe they had on,
probably on account of how badly she sucked.

As I said, Sheri is a "non-entity" to me, pretty much. I remember her on the
show maybe once or twice, but can't remember what she was doing at the time.
Didn't she book around 1995 or so? And was she the one who left to further her
(radio) career, as it were?
>Stevie Bridgewater, on the other hand (the traffic babe who replaced Sherri),

I think they generally moved away from "local traffic lady as part of the
show".
Speaking of traffic...who is "Vera Bruptly" or however you say that obvious
"traffic person" name? She's likely doing traffic on at least two or three
other stations in the D.C. market under two or three other names, and probably
works for Shadow/Metro/whichever arm of WW1/Infinity.
Green67321
>her
>(radio) career, as it were?
Yeah. She was co-host of the morning show on WHFS for a year or two before
getting sacked due to lousy ratings. She's back doing traffic for (I think)
WJLA's afternoon news.

Man, I love fake traffic names. I used to listen to "Holly Copter" on WKNR, a
sports radio station in Cleveland. I believe WKNR STILL dubs their female
morning traffic person "Holly Copter", many years later!
Celestial O'Skyward, etc.
Squirrel. I think I read (long ago and far away) that most of the
"Black Squirrels" are just Gray Squirrels that have gone slightly astray
in coloration. They are not considered another species.
Now [drum roll please], can I interest anyone in Albino Squirrels?
There is a townhouse cluster in the Sterling or Countryside area that
has historically had the occasional white squirrel over a period of
time. I saw them for a couple years, but have not been in that area
much lately. They appeared to live in the trees in the common area in
the middle of the parking lot. There were always several regular
Eastern Gray Squirrels, but every now and then you would see a white
one.
I do not actually know if they were true albino. I was not close enough
to check them out for little pink squirrel eyes.

all the time and made her part of the show instead of just letting her
be the traffic girl. Then the "S" hit the fan---was it another Don
drug bust? or just another Ireland debacle (he took Sherri with, then
they failed to make it to the broadcast having claimed they got 'lost'
though in my opinion, they never even tried to get there, having
gotten a room at the airport hotel--and I think Frieda figured the
whole Sherri thing out, and next there's a whole lot of renewing
marriage vows and going to church every week, plus Don BASHING WHFS
relentlessly, calling them pussies and whatnot (purportedly re: some
upcoming softball game). I remember thinking, what on EARTH is he so
mad at HFS about? Then we find out that Sherri is leaving the show
and (shocker!) has been given a (temporary) morning slot on
WHFS---prolly to cool her out for canning her cuz of the heat from
Freda. WHFS didn't work out, so she's back to traffic but that pays
around 100k so don't feel too bad for her.

Vera Bruptly is none other than Beverly Farmer of Metro Traffic. She
does traffic on many other DC area radio stations and late mornings on
WUSA Channel 9. Check out this link for more info.
http://www.newstalkconcepts.com/talent.htm
According to DCRTV Lane Closure's real name is Kristin Nash and is
currently doing traffic for WFLS in Fredricksburg.
BWT any of you that think that Lisa has a horse face should check out
Beverly Farmer on Channel 9. She give a whole new meaning to the
word.

For all we know, "Beverly Farmer" could be another radio air name (or likely
her maiden name)...
The article's right on...I've known traffic folks to juggle three or four
different names for different stations. I heard one open his report with one
name...and close it with another name, a mixup from one of his other stations.
This often comes from PDs who don't want name confusion for obvious reasons
between their station and another.

syndicated midnight psychic radio show (which Don was very nice about) with

And her acting career is smokin': http://us.imdb.com/Name?Elliker,+Shari

I am positive Shari was on that morning show at HFS within weeks of leaving
D&M.
I could be wrong.
But I seem to recall Don making jokes about her leaving and wishing her "luck"
as the 200th morning show on HFS. Or some such nonsense.

Didn't she do a show with one of the very frontally well-endowed fans of
D&M... Francis I believe her name was? I seem to remember hearing about
this somewhere...
