Bad Movies, Questionable Polls & Dumb Criminals
"How do you do it? How do you get all your friends to get baptized just so you can make a monster movie?"
That was our featured quote in our movie quote quiz this morning. It comes from the movie Ed Wood, a true story based on the life of a man who was without question, the WORST movie director who ever lived. Ed Wood's movies are so awful, they're hysterical. In fact, they have developed a huge cult-like following. Without a doubt, his all-time worst was Plan 9 From Outer Space. I've seen high school plays that are better than this. I highly recommend you either rent it or just buy it (you can probably buy it on DVD for about 39 cents). Then sit back with a beer or a glass of wine or a Zima or whatever you drink and watch this movie. It is hilariously awful.
Two quizzes tomorrow morning.....a movie quote quiz and a trivia question. The trivia question concerns animals.
Speaking of animals, tomorrow is the big day for Watson the Wonder Dog. He goes in to see the great Dr. Dove in Gainesville at high noon. Hopefully, he'll be well enough to attend our Pet-O-Ween at Safford Dodge this Friday night from 6 to 8 P.M. We were going to have him wear his Barack Obama costume. The problem with that is it takes about 24 hours to inflate the ears.
If you were listening this morning, you heard many of our listeners are not buying the barrage of presidential election polls the media insists upon throwing out. Personally, I can't remember so many polls in any other campaign. What bothers me about them is that they're all over the place. One poll has Obama ahead by 14 points. Another one has him ahead by only 1 or 2 points. Some polls have McCain ahead by a couple of points. I think what it comes down to is you can get whatever results you're looking for depending on how the poll questions are worded and WHO you're polling. The bottom line is the only poll that really matters is the big one on Tuesday.
Also this morning, I told about the woman caught trying to smuggle chorizo sausage in diapers from Mexico into Texas. She had the diapers folded to look used with something chunky inside. A suspicious customs officer checked them out and found the diapers filled with chorizo sausage. The woman was fined $300 and they seized her chorizo (and I think we all know how painful that can be). I give credit to the officer who actually got so suspicious that he opened the diapers and sniffed them. That's one dedicated cop!
If I was this woman, I would've gotten out of this by telling the officer that I was not smuggling sausage in the diapers, but that my baby just really likes spicy food.
Coming up tomorrow morning, Brandy Henderson from the Friends Fur Life Pet Sanctuary joins me. Also, I'll tell you about the open house at the Endsley Funeral Home in Bartonville, Illinois, complete with an Elvis impersonator. Yeah, wait 'til you hear this one.
