And now, for your considerable discomfort, we modestly present
the last Things and Stuff for June 20o10."Like most shows, we apologize for putting you through this. Here's why:
- Derek, the traditional first caller to the show, ended up being the host for a while, as certain annoying issues decided to make themselves known at the last minute. We also got to hear the awesome acoustics of Derek's future studio space.
- Alexander showed up, at which point we revealed that your call may be monitored or recorded by a radio shack CTR-69 cassette recorder.
- Bryan showed up, proving that he's a lot more interesting on Derek's show than mine, but that's OK.
- Derek Roberts, also known as CN (for cup man,) and a new amateur radio operator, obsesses about morse code while talking about his all-that-for-that field day experience. As a result, the no more CW song was brought to the world's attention, unfortunately for the world.
- Apparently, you are not allowed to have morbid thoughts in the 48 contiguous United States, but you can have them in Alaska, Hawaii, and Port Ricky (er, Puerto Rico.)
- How can a couple of coca cola commercials from 1967 cause issues, and generate a new idea on achieving world piece at the same time?
- Successfully dead, partially inspired by the no more CW song and written by Alexander, is introduced to the broader world of bad people.
- Jayson Smith, a first time caller, called in using Project MF and a fake bluebox.
- Jonathan from Canada has a new neighbor, who just happens to be a bad person. Of course, he told us all about it.
- Charles Hiser, another first-time caller, shows up to make life... interesting?
- Thanks to a call from Byron, we learned about Canada's high population of black people, which was prompted by Jonathan's earlier call. We also learned that Russia was apparently responsible for inventing memory loss.
- More updates from Jonathan on the weird neighbor, now worse than ever before.
- Was Hitler actually a good person? Well... no.
And that's it for June. I'll be happy when this month is over. Finances are stretched past the limit, and convention's coming up in just under two weeks. Let's see what it does, shall we?
