Subj : Re: Todays Blooper To : Barry Martin From : Daryl Stout Date : Fri Nov 06 2020 02:20:00 Barry, DS> It only allows 5 counties...so for now, I just have Pulaski DS> (Little Rock). At one time, I picked the counties to the DS> northwest, and southwest, as that is how our severe weather DS> usually arrives. BM> Makes sense, though I'd probably add one to the west. I had that done...but going due west, you get part of the 2 counties to the northwest and southwest respectively. BM> Pretty much the theme for a lot of the ads: So-and-so promised this and BM> this and when got into office did that and something else. Counter-ad BM> says the opposite, of course, ...Glad they're done and we can start on BM> those for the next election! When I went to pay my house insurance premium today, one of the agents said when he went to early vote, that he asked "Now that I've voted, can we stop the mudslining ads from coming into my radio and TV??!!". :P DS> The blonde can't rememeber the address, so the fire chief asks DS> how they will get there. She replies "Duh!! Big Red Truck!!" . BM> Yeah! You think they're going to arrive in their on cars?! Not enough BM> parking! Never mind no place for the dalmatian. BM> As long as not D-Moon -- that's the network for Hams inthe proctology BM> profession! One ham is a retired gastroenterologist. I am what they term a "Volunteer Examiner", in giving the license exams (at one time, the FCC did that). But, I gave this guy his Extra Class exam...and he asked me to get him "a jazzy callsign". So, I got him AG5AS -- and at a local club meeting, they played the deal from Bowser and Blue, "Praise To The Colorectal Surgeon". They said "Dr. Jack...this is for you". Bowser And Blue also have 2 other songs..."Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (The Prostate Song)", and "My Vasectomy". You can find them on YouTube...all are a scream!! BM> Like that WX1THDR guy -- aw heck, what's your call sign? It's now WX4QZ...there are 2 alternate phonetics. 1) Whistled X-ings (Crossings) For Quiet Zones. In relation to trains, Federal Law requires the engineer to sound the locomotive horn or whistle in the pattern of two longs, one short, and one long blast (--.- the equivalent to the Morse Code of the letter Q), from 1/2 mile ahead of the crossing, until the time the locomotive is in the crossing. A Quiet Zone is where the horn is not sounded, except for meeting another train on another track, or in the event of an emergency (someone trying to beat the train at the crossing by going around the gates). 2) Wild X-Citing For Quizines. In relation to food, "quizine" is not how you spell cuisine. But, in Louisiana, for a dog, they spell Fido as Phideaux...so, there you are. BM> Probably now a general 'advertising for coming attractions'. Sort of like a picture where this woman is holding a rooster, and announces "Meet Mister Pecker". :P BM> I have an over-the-counter calcium supplement prescribed; for a while BM> was also Vitamin D (again OTC) but several years ago found getting into BM> the too-much range (which is a different form of bad) so discontinued BM> the specific but continuing the adjunct (so no more Vit D itself but to BM> continue to Calcium with D). I used to take the Centrum Chewables, but don't anymore. BM> I'm not picking my nose; I'm pointing to my brain! Or the cartoon where Frosty The Snowman is in the store, looking for carrots. The caption noted "Frosty Is Caught Picking His Nose". Daryl ....
