Subj : Todays Blooper To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sat Nov 07 2020 10:05:00 Hi Daryl! 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. DS> I had that done...but going due west, you get part of the 2 DS> counties to the northwest and southwest respectively. Makes sense to do it your way! 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! DS> When I went to pay my house insurance premium today, one of the DS> agents said when he went to early vote, that he asked "Now that DS> I've voted, can we stop the mudslining ads from coming into my DS> radio and TV??!!". :P Would be nice. Here recording TV shows and some are on twice a day so 'running behind' on that kind -- I think one specific show we're 21 episodes behind so a little over two weeks behind -- might be around Thanksgiving before done seeing those political ads! 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! DS> Never mind no place for the dalmatian. Oh he'll squeeze in, no problem! BM> As long as not D-Moon -- that's the network for Hams inthe proctology BM> profession! DS> One ham is a retired gastroenterologist. I am what they term a DS> "Volunteer Examiner", in giving the license exams (at one time, DS> the FCC did that). But, I gave this guy his Extra Class DS> exam...and he asked me to get him "a jazzy callsign". So, I got DS> him AG5AS -- and at a local club meeting, they played the deal DS> from Bowser and Blue, "Praise To The Colorectal Surgeon". They DS> said "Dr. Jack...this is for you". Bowser And Blue also have DS> 2 other songs..."Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (The Prostate DS> Song)", and "My Vasectomy". You can find them on YouTube...all DS> are a scream!! His sign is either 'Silver 5 As(s)' or 'A Gas'! BM> Like that WX1THDR guy -- aw heck, what's your call sign? DS> It's now WX4QZ...there are 2 alternate phonetics. Semi-close -- I thnik I mix your new one with your old. DS> 1) Whistled X-ings (Crossings) For Quiet Zones. In relation to DS> trains, Federal Law requires the engineer to sound the locomotive DS> horn or whistle in the pattern of two longs, one short, and one DS> long blast (--.- the equivalent to the Morse Code of the letter DS> Q), from 1/2 mile ahead of the crossing, until the time the DS> locomotive is in the crossing. A Quiet Zone is where the horn is DS> not sounded, except for meeting another train on another track, DS> or in the event of an emergency (someone trying to beat the train DS> at the crossing by going around the gates). DS> 2) Wild X-Citing For Quizines. In relation to food, "quizine" is DS> not how you spell cuisine. But, in Louisiana, for a dog, they DS> spell Fido as Phideaux...so, there you are. :) Can't recall but one of the dogs owned by a famous trial laywer was named something like "Prime Rib" or "Roast Beef". BM> Probably now a general 'advertising for coming attractions'. DS> Sort of like a picture where this woman is holding a rooster, DS> and announces "Meet Mister Pecker". :P (Going to gloss the next line to keep G-Rated.) Would be better if a guy was holding the rooster and captioned "wanna see my ". 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). DS> I used to take the Centrum Chewables, but don't anymore. I stayed away from chewables because I'd probably treat them like candy and in a snack-weakness probably gobble a handful -- oops! BM> I'm not picking my nose; I'm pointing to my brain! DS> Or the cartoon where Frosty The Snowman is in the store, DS> looking for carrots. The caption noted "Frosty Is Caught Picking DS> His Nose". They also said that about the person looking in the nose book at the cosmetic surgeon's! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® .... "She got looks from her father.
