Concert Announcement, Lynn & Jackson

Make sure you join me this Thursday morning. I'll be making the announcement as to who the headline performer will be at this year's Aquapalooza, Saturday, July 25 in Fairview Beach. I also hope to have that performer with me on the phone line this Friday morning. Stay close for details.


On this date in 1994, twelve miles of highway in Waverly, Tennessee became Loretta Lynn Parkway. That sure beats Howard Stern getting a rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike named after him (True).



On this date back in 1975, Cher married Gregg Allman. It was a very successful marriage. It lasted 9 days (even mine have done better than that).



I went into my bank this afternoon and the the tellers were like, "Hey, what was the answer to More's Mystery this morning? We had to come in to work. We missed the answer." More's Mystery did go a bit long this morning. Finally, someone called in with the correct answer: The Bold & The Beautiful.



The Michael Jackson fiasco continues to heat up. Michael and his dad, Joe weren't exactly close, but yesterday, Joe and comedian Al Sharpton held a press conference. Joe plugged his new record label,then announced that Michael's funeral will be open to the public because "Michael would've wanted it that way".

YEAH, RIGHT! MICHAEL WAS A REAL DOWN-TO-EARTH, REGULAR JOE WHO LOVED MINGLING WITH THE PUBLIC, WASN'T HE? IF JOE JACKSON HAS HIS WAY, THEY'LL CHARGE ADMISSION AND SELL T-SHIRTS.

Meanwhile, Michael's mother has secured temporary custody of his 3 kids. She plans to request permanent custody and the right to raise them.........because who's better at raising kids than the mother of the Jackson family?

I mean she did such a great job with the first batch!

Not a Good Week To Be In Show Business

Don't forget to join me this Sunday at Powell's Furniture. It'll be your last chance to vote for the living room set Rae and I will buy. Therefore, your last chance to get your $50.00 gift card and we'll also draw the winner for the free living room set. Come on by. It's a holiday weekend! Let's have some fun!!
I don't want you to think I was ignoring the death of the gloved one, Michael Jackson in my last entry. The truth is I learned of his death about an hour after making that entry on Thursday. What a week! Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson, verifying what some people believe, that "it always comes in threes". Well, along comes Billy Mays and he blows that theory right out of the water. This idea that it always comes in three is absurd, and it's not true. You only notice it when it comes in threes. What happens when only one person dies......or two. Actually, when two people die, these people still go around saying, "It always comes in three, so one more is going to die". Well, of course, eventually somebody else is going to die. The whole thing is silly.
Today, we got news of two more celebrity deaths. Comic-impressionist Fred Travalena died early today.
He was very popular in the 70's and 80's, but still often appeared on Letterman and he was a regular in Vegas and Branson.

Here's another one that just came in today. Some of you might be old enough to remember Gale Storm, an actress who had a very popular TV show 600 years ago called My Little Margie.

To be honest with you, I thought she died years ago, but nope, she died today.

Hey, wait a minute. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.....that's three. Then Billy Mays, Fred Travalena and Gale Storm.....that's three. OH, MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! IT REALLY DOES COME IN THREES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!

On a more cheerful note, Happy Birthday today to actor Gary Busey. He's 62 today.

How did this guy make it this far? Gary is one of those guys who if he got Alzheimer's, you wouldn't be able to tell. Anyway, Happy Birthday to him, Maria Conchita Alonzo is 52 today and comedian Richard Lewis is 62 today.

Wine & Whiskers, Good Bye, Ed & Good Bye, Farrah

Here's another date to mark on your calendar: Saturday, July 18. I'll be hosting this year's Wine & Whiskers (figures I'd be involved in something with wine in it). This is my first Wine & Whiskers. I hear it's a great event, and of course, all proceeds benefit the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA. Enjoy wine tasting, a silent auction, door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, live music and much more. Best of all, you'll be helping the animals who currently reside at the SPCA, hoping to someday find a family who will adopt them. The SPCA relies solely on donations and events like this one for operating revenue, so please make plans to join me July 18.

It's been a rough week. We lost two iconic figures in the world of show business this week. Ed McMahon died at the age of 86, and I just heard a few hours ago about the death of Farrah Fawcett.

I was in my early twenties when Farrah Fawcett exploded on to the scene. I don't know of one man (and probably some women) who didn't fantasize about being with her. Yes, I had THEE poster. I think every guy had THEE poster
There was just nobody like her. Because she was so incredibly beautiful and sexy, the critics would often imply that she was nothing more than an untalented bimbo with great hair. In fact, thanks to Farrah, the term "Jiggle TV" came to be. After all, Charlie's Angels was hardly Shakespeare. But as time went on, she grew. Her role in "The Burning Bed" made the critics eat their words, and if you ever get a chance to see her in the movie "Extremities", a film about a rape victim who turns the tables on her rapist, you will see an incredibly strong and convincing performance.


We were all aware of her battle with cancer over the last few years. We all pretty much knew how it was going to end, but even with expecting it, and even though I never personally met her, when I heard the news a few hours ago that she had died, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Farrah Fawcett was such an iconic figure on the American scene, that I think many of us felt we were in there with her, fighting the cancer. When she died today, maybe just a tiny bit of us died with her, those of us who watched her rise to stardom. Fortunately, when people in the public eye pass on, they stay with us in the form of still photos and videos. In that regard, Farrah Fawcett (and Ed McMahon) will always be here.

See ya around, Farrah.

School Colors, Stale Bread & Happy Anniversary, Daryle And Kerry

I'm not suppose to talk about this until tomorrow, but it seems to me that those of you who read this blog deserve a perk of some kind. Mark this date on your calendar: Saturday, July 25. That's the date for this year's AQUAPALOOZA, the world's largest boating party, on the Potomac at Tim's II in Fairview Beach. We'll be giving you more information on this, including who the special performer will be this year over the next few weeks.I'll be out there all day, along with Kristin Nash and Braden Smith, and hope YOU will be too!

Happy Birthday today to famed character actor Al Molinaro (Arnold from Happy Days and Murray the cop from The Odd Couple).

Al is 90 today.

On this date in 1995, singer Daryle Singletary married actress Kerry Harvick at the First Baptist Church in Daryle's hometown of Comanche, Texas.


I thought this was interesting this morning. Timothy Allen Riggen of Fort Pierce, Florida was arrested for trying to sell fake crack cocaine, that in reality, was nothing more than stale bread. Since it wasn't really a drug, did he break a law? Yes, he did. The charge is felony possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with intent to sell within 1,000 feet of a convenience store. There actually is such a law. In other words, false advertising. Here's why I found this law crazy. Outside the convenience store, you can't sell stale bread on the streets, but INSIDE the convenience store, you COULD theoretically sell stale bread................perfectly legal.

Finally, the College of William & Mary, in their obsession for political correctness decided their sports team can still call themselves the Tribe. HOWEVER, their Indian mascot has to go because it is "demeaning" to Native Americans. I was born in this country. Doesn't that make me a native American? I don't find it demeaning, nor do I understand why American Indians would find it demeaning. It's part of our history. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. Political correctness trumps common sense. At any rate, William & Mary has been looking for a new mascot for 3 years now with no success. The school president now has to choose from among a number of suggestions, ranging from a feathered horse to an asparagus stalk (I'm NOT making that up). Supporters of the asparagus stalk point out that if you serve asparagus with cheese melted on it, it's the school colors.

Perhaps more pressing, William & Mary might want to consider new school colors.

A Grant For Rikki, A Bomb On The Moon & A Bomb At Arby's

There is a great, no-kill animal sanctuary you've heard me mention on the show several times. It's Rikki's Refuge in Orange. They are currently eligible for a grant from AnimalRescueSite.Com, but they need your help in order to get that grant. The best part is you can help right now, and it'll only take a couple of minutes. The decision as to who gets the grant will be based on voting by people like you and I. The voting process is very simple. Just go on to Rikkisrefuge.org, and then click on the blue button. Obviously, the more people who vote for Rikki's, the better their chances of getting that grant. I've been to Rikki's. They do great work, helping animals and giving them a lifetime home. These are animals that , quite honestly, might otherwise have been euthanized, not because they're sick or injured, but because there just isn't a home for them. As great a job as they do, this grant would be a tremendous boost. Some animal rescue will get the grant. Let's see what we can do to make sure a local sanctuary gets it. You can vote everyday throughout the month of July. Please help.

Jo Dee Messina tickets going out all day tomorrow. Keep it locked in to Thunder.

Happy Birthday today to Brit Hume from Fox News, and resident of Fauquier County.
Brit is 66 today.

In addition, Kris Kristofferson is 73 today.

Big savings at Memorial Park Cemetary in Indianapolis. They're having a big two for one sale. Buy one cemetary plot, get a second one free. General Manager Mark McCronklin says this is a promotion they run every year and it's always a huge success. They even have signs up saying no one will get turned down because of bad credit. So, if you can't afford the cost of living, at least in Indianpolis, they're helping you deal with the cost of dying.

NASA is planning on bombing the moon. The moon is mainly desert. NASA will send up a missile to blow a huge hole into the surface. This will be done for the purpose of finding water. The plan is to analye the space cloud the explosion raises for any traces of water or vapor. The unmanned vessel will be the first U.S. spacecraft to visit the moon since 1999.

All of this should go pretty well. Since 1999, we've had a lot of practice bombing deserts. They going to have to pick the spot they bomb very carefully. When Neil Armstrong first landed on the moon, he put up a plaque, which reads "We came in peace for all mankind". We wouldn't want to bomb that plaque.

The Delaware State Fire Marshall's office is looking for the man who damaged a toilet at Arby's in Talleyville, by setting off fireworks in the bathroom. Authorities say no one was injured, although there were five employees and two other customers in the restaurant at the time. All of those people heard a loud blast from the bathroom. They found a damaged toilet in the bathroom after the man in question left in a brown pick-up truck.

I wonder if they are positive fireworks did this. It might not have been.

I understand this sort of thing happens ALL the time at Taco Bell.

Dead Flies, Dead Pilots & Johnny Counterfit

Generally, every Friday, we get a visit from Debra Joesph, Director of the Fredericksburg SPCA. However, Debra is on vacation for two weeks, so no DJ tomorrow. However, Johnny Counterfit will be joining me on the phone line from Nashville tomorrow morning. Johnny is a comedian, impressionist, singer and songwriter, and will be appearing this Saturday at Bowles Farm in Clements, Maryland.

President OH-bama stopped a CNBC interview yesterday to kill an annoying housefly that had been buzzing around his head. "Get out of here", he said to the fly, then smacked it dead with his hand, adding, "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? Got the sucker." Needless to say, the liberal-leaning mainstream media, who swoon and fall all over themselves anytime Oh-bama does ANYTHING, immediately reported how cool-headed and fast-handed he is. In fact, I'm surprised they didn't report that after he killed the fly, he brought it back to life.

Not everyone was so impressed. In comes PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. This is an organization made up of people who are either completely mad, or starving for attention. They didn't like the idea of the President killing a fly. They said PETA supports "compassion for even the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals." They added that they would be sending OH-bama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher gadget that lets you trap a fly and then release it outside..........................kind of like what OH-bama wants to do with terrorists.

Terrible late-breaking story this afternoon about a Continental Airlines pilot who died in mid-flight.
It appears he suffered a heart attack. Flight 61 flew out of Brussels with 247 people on board. As luck would have it, there was a cardiologist on board, but he said that by the time he got up to the cockpit, there was nothing he could do. The pilot was dead already. The co-pilot was able to land the plane safely in Newark (New Jersey) Airport..............where the plane's hubcaps were probably stolen before they could get the body unloaded.

Thunder Ticket Tuesday, 56 Stars & Taking Things A Little Too Literally

Join me tomorrow morning for a very special announcement regarding this coming Tuesday. We're calling it Thunder Ticket Tuesday and it means that all day, we'll be giving tickets away to see Jo Dee Messina Friday, June 26 at Celebrate Virginia.

Nobody else has them. Only Thunder 104.5!

I remember seeing a cartoon years ago in a newspaper. A big, burly biker-type guy was yelling at his tattoo artist who just finished his latest work of art on the biker's arm. The biker was screaming, "You idiot! I said I wanted it to say BORN TO LOSE." A close-up of the new tattoo showed that it read BORN TOO LOOSE. In a case of life imitating art, 18 year old Kimberly Vlaminck is suing her tattoo artist for $15,000.00, claiming that his English is so bad, that he misunderstood her, and after falling asleep in his chair, she woke up with 56 stars tattooed all over her face.

She says she now looks like a freak. People stare at her on the streets, and she wants money for painful and expensive laser tattoo removal. The tattoo artist claims that she got exactly what she asked for, and it was only when her father got mad and her boyfriend dumped her that she started complaining.

She IS a freak, a freakishly sound sleeper. Who sleeps through getting 56 stars tattooed all over your face? Unless she was drunk.........and if she was drunk, how could she be sure what she asked for.

Finally, this story in today's news is actually cute. Pam Peterson of Cornelius, Oregon, called police to report her husband, William Peterson missing.

She told police that he left for a fishing trip on June 6 and never returned. After an expensive and time-consuming search that wasted eight officer's time, the police discovered that William just moved out and hadn't bothered to tell his wife. He said he and her had an argument and that she told him if he didn't like living there, he should move out. So, he took her up on it. He left. As of this past Monday, he moved back in.

Since he apparently likes to take her up on these things, the next time they have an argument, she should say, " Hey, if you don't like it, go jump in a lake."

See if he takes her up on that one.

Flip-Flop Stroble, Coach Tony & Love Story

It's Brian Stroble this week manning Flip-Flop Friday. Brian will be out at Madigan's in Occoquan from 6 to 8 P.M., and yes, he'll have Kenny Chesney tickets to give away.Happy Birthday today to the "Rub It In" guy, Billy "Crash" Craddock. He is 70 today, so..........
I doubt he looks like that anymore.

Happy Birthday TOMORROW to Coach Tony Garwood, head coach of the Stafford High School Bengals. Tony is loved and respected by students, players and families alike, and with his leadership, he led the Bengals last season to a 8 and 1 record. Happy Birthday, Coach!!

There is a sleeper movie out there. It's called "The Hangover"

Nobody expected the film to do much, but it held on to the top spot at the weekend movie box office for the second straight week, and so far, has brought in 33.4 million dollars. It's about a few guys who party so hard one night, that they wake up the next day in some very precarious positions and can't remember anything about the night before. The public calls "The Hangover" comical. The critics call it hysterical. I call it autobiographical.

Speaking of movies.........It's funny how great movies of today become the embarrassingly bad movies of tomorrow. Classic example: Erich Segal's "Love Story".
Talk about a blockbuster.....when this movie came out in 1970, it was HUGE! It broke box office records. The critics hailed it as one of the greatest movies ever made. People went back to the theater to see it over and over again. Women AND men came out of the theater crying. People were walking around quoting the big catch phrase from the movie, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." It took the country by storm. I, also, saw "Love Story" several times and thought it was incredible.

A couple of months back, I was flipping through the channels one night, and what do I see? One of those obscure cable channels was getting ready to show "Love Story". Wow! What a pleasant surprise! They're going to show one of the greatest movies ever made, and I haven't seen it in almost 40 years!! What a treat!

As I started watching this movie, I realized that things have sure changed over the last 4 decades. By today's standards, this movie was now ridiculous. The dialogue is absurd. The acting is horrible. The premise is stupid.

On the plus side, the movie is so bad by today's standards, it's hilarious. If you get a chance to see it, crack open a bottle of wine and check it out. It is uproariously and unintentionally hysterical. To add to it all, it's been rumored that the male lead in the movie is based on a young Al Gore.
That being the case, the mysterious affliction that kills his girlfriend in the movie was probably global warming.

The Green Swimsuit, The Lombardi Quote & Trouble At Starbucks

I hope you had a nice weekend. Mine was AWFUL. I was working a comedy club in New York Saturday night and had to fly out of Dulles Saturday afternoon. What was supposed to be a 40-minute flight turned out to be a 5-hour flight. I could have WALKED to New York quicker. The return flight yesterday was better, but not much.

Last week, I told you about the guy in Ohio who was arrested for "menacing and harassing" women as they exited an ice cream shop. What made this particularly disturbing is that the guy was wearing a green, one-piece, women's swimsuit. In addition to the "menacing and harassing" charge, he was also charged with partially exposing himself. That's true. In fairness to him, those high, French-cut, one piece swimsuits are notorious for wardrobe malfunctions. His name is Kevin Miller. He's 41 years old.
Here he is....................................................and here he is at the time of his arrest. All of this, of course, is a classic textbook example of how NOT to get a woman to share her ice cream with you. And ladies, here's the really good news................HE'S SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mentioned Vince Lombardi on the show the other morning and recited his famous quote: "Winning isn't everything. It's the ONLY thing".

Leslie, from our sales staff, pointed out to me that I made the same mistake many people make. I mis-quoted Lombardi. He didn't say, "Winning isn't everything. It's the ONLY thing. The actual quote is, “Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.” My personal favorite Lombardi quote is, "We didn't lose the game. We just ran out of time." In addition, Vince said a lot of other things, many of which we can't repeat on radio or in this blog.

Starbucks rang up double charges on millions of customers over the Memorial Day Weekend due to a computer glitch. My guess is that since it WAS Starbucks, nobody noticed.

"I'll have a Double Grande Latte Cappucino Supremo Mega Grandissimaximo Giganto de Humongo-Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong.....................decaf. How much is that? Forty-two dollars? Here you are."

Rae Sees Strait, Freedom Of Speech & A Major Dumb Criminal Alert

We did something kind of fun this morning on the show. We held an on-air auction. Our very good friends over at Little Tire Company provided us with 5 tickets to see George Strait, along with Blake Shelton, this Saturday night at Nissan Pavilion. The bidding went on for one hour, 8 to 9, and the winning bid of $360.00 came in from Rae (No, not my wife) of Stafford. Congratulations, Rae (nice name)! The money goes to the Fredericksburg SPCA.

Tomorrow morning, I have another chance for you to win a pair of tickets to see Kenny Chesney on August 29. Be listening for Kenny to open that cold bottle of Corona, and then call in at 710-1045.
Also tomorrow, another chance to win a pair of tickets to see comedian/impressionist Johnny Counterfit at Bowles Farm on June 2o.

I've been getting some calls asking what happened to More's Mystery. It stems back to those electrical storms we had a week or so ago. You might recall the lightning damaged some of our equipment. One piece of equipment that was damaged is the apparatus that allows us to put callers on the air. That piece hasn't been repaired yet. We're waiting for a part to come in, and as soon as it does, we'll make the repair and More's Mystery will be back up and running.

You might have heard Shelia Quinn talking about this case this morning. Helen Immelt of Everett, Washington, got angry at her neighbor who filed a complaint about her chickens with the local homeowners association. So, Immelt parked in front of his house and laid on her horn for 10 straight minutes. Her neighbor called the police. They arrived and she left, but 2 hours later, she returned and did it again. This time, she was arrested and found guilty of a noise violation. She appealed her conviction on the grounds that honking her horn is free speech and protected by the First Amendment. The appeals judge disagreed. He said, "Honking which is done to annoy or harass others is NOT free speech." So here's my question: How come burning the American flag is considered a freedom of speech, but honking your horn is not IF it's done for the purpose of annoying someone. I would say when someone burns the American flag, they are probably, most likely doing it to annoy someone. It certainly annoys me. Therefore, how is it that burning the American flag is protected by the First Amendment, by honking your horn for 10 minutes isn't? Am I missing something here? I guess the bottom line here is honking is only free speech if you're a goose........

.................or Fran Drescher

DUMB CRIMINAL ALERT!! DUMB CRIMINAL ALERT!!

There's a home improvement store in Spokane, Washington called Ziggy's. Employees there found a bag of methamphetamines near the cash register this past Sunday. They called the police. While they were waiting for the police, in comes Christopher Wilson. Wilson explained that he had been in the store earlier and lost something. He wouldn't say what it was. However, he did leave his name, address and phone number, in case it turned up. Spokane police say surveillance video showed him leaving the bag of meth behind, and the information HE provided made it easy to track him down and arrest him.

WHAT A DOPE!!! THIS GUY MUST HAVE BEEN ON DRUGS OR SOMETHING.

Kristin Nash, Ahmed Ghailani & 36 Hot Dogs

Kristin Nash, who joins me every morning for A Walk Down Music Row, has a live appearance coming up this Sunday. She'll be out at Biker Sunday at Salem Fields Community Church. This is not just for bikers. EVERYONE is invited to come out and be a part of a great day which includes a bike show, live music, plenty of stuff for the kids to do, and giveaways. It all kicks off at 11 A.M. I'm working in New York this Friday & Saturday (at the Manhattan Comedy Club), but I expect to be getting back into town Sunday morning and told Nash I would TRY to stop by, but you know how it goes with the airlines.

U.S. Authorities have brought the first Guantanamo Bay detainee to the United States. He is Ahmed Ghailani.

He's been brought in to New York City to stand trial for bombing U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. I think since he and I are both going to be in New York City this weekend, authorities should bring him to my show at the Manhattan Comedy Club. Ninety minutes of watching me onstage and he'll be begging to go back to Gitmo. It's worst than being water boarded.

Finally, this morning I promised you a picture of this young lady. She's 41 year-old Sonya Thomas of Alexandria,

and she refers to herself as a "competitive eater". She has, in fact, just won the title of the Virginia Hot Dog Eating Champion, for the third time. She won the title this past Saturday at the competition held in Norfolk by eating 36 hot dogs in 10 minutes. I wanted you to see a picture of her because I'm sure you agree she doesn't look like the a young lady who would eat 36 hot dogs in 10 minutes. BeforeI saw what she looks like, I was picturing a woman who looks like John Madden. I was surprised to see that she's actually quite cute, and I was amazed to find out that she only weighs 100 pounds. I don't know if this chick is bulimic or what, but it's all pretty amazing. In addition, the video of her eating the hot dogs just made number one on YOU TUBE, although I have a feeling men are the only ones watching it, but nevertheless..............

Flip-Flop Fridays, Happy Birthday, Barb & Botox On eBay

The tickets to see Kenny Chesney keep going out the door to lucky listeners, and if you haven't won yet, let not your heart be troubled. We still have PLENTY to give away. I have another pair going out tomorrow morning. PLUS this Friday, we kick off what we're calling Flip-Flop Fridays. We'll be out live at a different location every Friday from 6 to 8 P.M., and you're invited to join us for a good time. Not only that, but at these locations, it's another chance to win tickets to see Kenny, along with Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum. The Wackster, Penny Wack, starts the ball rolling this Friday. She'll be in Fairview Beach. You can find out exactly where we'll be each week right here on this website (on the homepage).

Happy birthday today to Barbara Bush. She's 83 today. I love Barbara Bush, but am I the only person on the planet who thinks Barbara looks an awful lot like the guy on the Quaker Oats box? You decide.
...except for the hat. If she wore the hat......................PERFECT!

A sad note: Millvina Dean has died.
She was the last living survivor of the Titanic. She was an infant at the time of the sinking. She died at the age of 97. She always said the sinking of the Titanic was the second worst maritime disaster in history. The WORST maritime disaster in history was Kathy Lee Gifford singing on Carnival Cruise Lines.
Finally, there's trouble on the Internet. Health experts are concerned about illegal sales of Botox online. The consumer magazine "Which?" recently discovered someone auctioning off a do-it-yourself Botox kit on eBay. It comes complete with Botox, a syringe, and a face map. It was removed as soon as eBay was notified, but it could be just the tip of the Internet iceberg. The editor of "Which?" reminds everyone that Botox IS a poison, and if injected in the wrong area, it could produce shocking results.

J & J Tile, Little Tire & Living Large

Sorry about the absence of entries this week. I had no internet service for a couple of days because of the electrical storms, and last night, we had a minor medical emergency here. Everything is fine. Not only did those electrical storms wreak havoc with my internet, but they tore the Thunder studio all up. As a result, we had several technical issues this week, but we're almost back up 100%. Thanks for hanging in there with us during the problems.
My thanks to the guys over at Little Tire Company at Four Mile Fork. They are the best over there! Rae's car needed new tires, so we went over to see the boys at LT, who hooked us up in no time, did it affordably, and were just great guys in the process.

Tomorrow, it's another live, remote broadcast at one of my favorite places to do these at, J & J Tile & Marble. I'll be out there from 12 Noon until 2. If you're looking for tile and/or marble, the prices at J & J are being dropped drastically while I'm out there. But even if you're not in the market for tile or marble, just stop by anyway to say, "Hi". I think sometimes, people have the wrong impression of these remotes. When you stop by, you're under no obligation and absolutely no purchase is necessary. It's just a chance for you to come by to see us, shake hands and spin the prize wheel and maybe win a prize for yourself.

USA Today is reporting that if you like food, the recession actually has a good side. Restaurants are hurting. As a result, they're slashing prices AND adding all sorts of new items in order to entice customers. For instance, KFC now has grilled chicken, Domino's added subs, Pizza Hut added pasta, and the National Restaurant Association says almost everybody now offers a dollar menu.


Do you realize what this means? This could be the first time in history we have a depression, and everyone actually getter FATTER.

ONLY IN AMERICA!

Wild Hair, Free Viagra & No Orange Juice

Kenny Chesney tickets started going out this morning and will continue to do so all week. When you hear Kenny pop open a Corona, be the 10th caller for a pair of tickets to see Kenny, Miranda Lambert and Lady Attebellum at the Nissan Pavilion in August.

Thanks to everybody who came out to Powell's Furniture this past Saturday for the big remote broadcast. The voting continues at Powell's through the month of June. Stop in and vote for the living room set you think Rae and I should buy for the house. No purchase is necessary. There's no obligation. Just stop in and cast your ballot. When you do, you become eligible for a drawing in July for a free, brand new living room set. In addition. when you vote, you'll be given a $50.00 gift card for Powell's. Use it yourself, or give it as a gift to someone.

As I promised you, here's a picture of 20 year-old Raibin Raof Osman, the young man from Aloha Oregon, who wound up spending the Memorial Day Weekend in jail for calling 9-1-1 because a local McDonald's didn't include his orange juice in his drive-through order.
He was arrested and charged with improper use of 9-1-1, a Class B misdemeanor punishable in Oregon by up to 6 months in jail and a fine of $2,500.00. Calling 9-1-1 because you didn't get your orange juice is not what 9-1-1 was intended for. Beside, if this guy is such a health nut, that he was freaking out about not getting his orange juice, what was he doing at McDonald's anyway?

Happy Birthday today to one of my all-time favorite TV actors, Andy Griffith.
Andy is 83 today.
Lisa Hartman Black is 53 today.
