The March 23/24 edition of "Coast To Coast" with George Napp was sure interesting with lots of unique callers.
Yesterday afternoon's repeat of "Behavior Night" on WBCQ had an odd sound quality to it.
Picked up a station on 1680 from Philadelphia tonight. Think the call letters were WTVM.

EVOLUTION
A long time ago there was nothing. Then, nothing exploded, even though for an explosion you need oxygen, an excelerant and a spark. Dust spun off from this explosion and created the stars and planets.
On Earth, it rained for millions of years, though rain retains heat so you'd think that would cook the Earth.
Then the Earth cooled and somehow one-celled organisms appeared. One day, two one-celled organisms decided to join together to create a multi-celled organism. Another day, a one-celled organism decided to stick part of themself into another one-celled organism which is supposed to signify the first instance of sexual reproduction, though I guess to really be sure of that you would have had to live in the culture of the time.
Eventually, somehow, these new tiny multi-celled organisms formed into what we call today fish. One day, one of these fish decided to climb out of the water and explore the land, though why it didn't immediately die since it wasn't equipped to breath on land I don't know.
Eventually, more animals came out of the water and started living on land. Reptiles evolved into birds. However, you would think at one point there would be a half-reptile, half-bird "missing link." Presumably, this missing link would have a half leg, half wing. Therefore, it could neither fly nor walk. Thus, how did it find food? How did it find a mate?
Why aren't there fossils of all kinds of missing links found today? Why aren't there all these skeletons of animals at various stages of development from one speces to another?
Eventually, monkeys evolved into apes and then man. The first humans were cave-dwellers. Reportedly, these cave people were far less intelligent than man today. Thus, how did they survive to eventually create us?
"This plant look good. I eat. Yum
(Dies because plant is poisonous. Other cave man sees this. However, is not smart enough to realize poisonous plant will have same effect on him. Eventually, all cave men eat poisonous plants and die.)

KID ROCK'S FAVOURITE SANDWICH
Things growing upside down.
I wonder what the world would be like if you could take full bottles of booze back to the store and get full ones.
A mother and father once said, "Where shall we put all our old food and garbage? I know! In our son's bed."
Riding a michanical bull during a hurricane. Better Superglue the kids to the tire swing for safety's sake. Then won't you be the smartest person in the world, seriously.

JAY SMILKSTEIN IS DEAD
Shortwave character and frequent caller to Allen Weener Worldwide Jay Smilkstein died this past Monday at his home in Mount Kisco.
Smilkstein was teased a lot by the shortwave pirate community over the years. He was nicknamed Bozo for his resemblance to Bozo the clown.
In the end, however, it seemed like the community came together for him, sympathizing with his financial and health problems.
For my part, I enjoyed the various audio colages and jokes that were made about Jay over the years.
Once I heard Jay call Brother Stair's voicemail. It blew my mind.
If anyone needs me, I'll be at the A and P, either there or the Burger King (anyone remember that particular call?)

MAKE MEETINGS MORE LUCID
Taken from Lucid Meetings website, which you can get to by clicking the link above.
Our Vision
Meetings matter. Every group, from the small project team to the corporate board, holds meetings to make key decisions, check progress, hash out issues, and build consensus. Meetings remind us that we are in this as a team, that we have support from others, that we are building something as a group. A great meeting brings out the best in your team and drives them forward. We believe software can help teams hold great meetings: meetings that are on time, where informed decisions are made, and plans are set firmly in motion.
Our Mission
Lucid Meetingshelps groups pursue their goals through online meetings that are more productive, more efficient, and more rewarding. We combine collaborative and web conferencing software to support professional meeting preparation, a collaborative in-meeting experience, and effortless follow-through on meeting results. We seek to offer an unparalleled meeting experience for working teams at an affordable price.
Founders
Elise, John, Chris and Tony have between them started five companies, two of which were acquired. Two others are profitable and continue to thrive. Their latest venture, Lucid Meetings, was created when they grew increasingly frustrated with existing online meeting tools and decided they could do better. While the company is located in Portland, OR,the founders are dispersed and use their own product to meet and guide the company forward.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: AN AMERICAN LOBSTER
This most popular American talk show host touts family values but has been divorced three times and had Elton John play at his most recent wedding.
He didn't register to vote until 1988.
At one point in the eighties, Limbaugh was living on potato chips, too lazy to mow his own lawn.

RADIO-RELATED STUFF
Didn't hear Walter Becker on WWCR Saturday afternoon.
Reception on AM (MW) has been really bad the past few days. I wonder if we aren't experiencing that solar flare now.
989 The Drive was coming in really well this morning.
