"Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" at S5 to S6 then nothing at 3:33 UTC

General Radio Discussion / I hurt myself doing yoga

« on: September 24, 2013, 0259 UTC »

The other day, I was watchin' a yoga video.

Somehow in the process of watchin' these hot girls doing their yo-ga,

I fell off the TV set (these modern TV sets are real thin and lack support, heh, reminds me of my political base)

I'm from Texas, got a 10-gallon hat somewhere,

and I like cowboy boots. Are ya'll going to keep talkin' about radios?

In the general discussions where you can talk about anything under the sun,

ya'll going to talk about radio? Because we can talk about cows, for example.

General Radio Discussion / Baby Talk on 6925 heh heh

« on: September 16, 2013, 1337 UTC »

I'm from Texas, but I know something about radios, had one when I was a kid.

Right now (except it was last night) there's some baby talk on the pirate radio.

Reminds me of some stuff we did in the White House, heh!

Heh heh but I'm not at liberty to discuss any of this, OK?

Wow, what an idiot (them, not me)

General Radio Discussion / I hurt myself on pirate radio

« on: September 16, 2013, 1323 UTC »

Like I was sayin' . . . ahhhhhhhh . . . uhhhhhhhh . . . (like I was sayin' before your moderators wiped me out)

I'M FROM TEXAS . . . uh . . .

and down here we have a sayin' . . . "Fool me once, uhhhhhh . . ."

But that's not what I wanted to discuss. My speech to the nation. Whatever you want to call it.

"State of the Unions" address THAT'S IT (my one brain still works after it's warmed up and that 10-year-old Scotch usually does the trick)

Somethin' funny happened the other day (why didn't the moderators move my posts to General Topics instead of deleting them with no explanation???)

I hurt myself listenin' to a pirate on the radio.

How it happened was, I fell on a pirate radio right here in Dallas.

Really!

That's how I got these scratches on my face.

OK?

That's how I got these scratches on my face, OK?
