Firsr panel... G&T have really gotten into the spirit of Mafia 2...
Having everyone with a radio makes some good sense from the perspective of emergency notifications. But serioisly, RIAA? Do you think you're fooling anyone?
They are walking to the left, the blood is just coming from gabe (maybe he stepped in the marinara sauce?). The rain is washing it away, so thats why it disappears by the time the rug is centered over it.
all the songs I played on the show were the theme songs for the Disney Afternoon cartoons
I did too
A tape recorder was a BIG FUCKING DEAL to me and the fact that I was allowed to go outside with it was an even bigger deal
I'm pretty sure all the tapes are long gone though. Only reason I'd want to hear them is because my grandma could be heard on a couple, but this was way back in like '92 or '93..
maybe all the tapes are inside Gabe and Tycho's Mystery Murder Rug
Yes!!! I made shows with my bestest friend. He did sports and I did music. If I recall correctly, Puff the Magic Dragon was the big hit that summer. Davey Crockett too? I think so.
I bet my Mom has those in a box somewhere.
Then I had a radio show in college for 4 years. That was awesome, even if it was functionally equivalent to playing music for myself in a basement since no one listened to the radio station at my school (except the poor sods in the dorm next to the transmitter who would pick it up on their coffee machines, doorknobs, and dental hardware.)
Pwnan and I have differing philosophies on radio. While I never spent 15 hours agonizing over my playlists, knowing that there were probably about 5 or 6 people who were tuned in and actually paying attention to what I was playing, I still cared about what I did and I felt like I owed it to those 6 people to do the best show I could. And coming in late was something you tried never to do, much less being late every show. You'd be off the air in no time.
I'm not saying that being a government person is easy, but it must be easier, certainly, when you simply pass laws written by the companies you're supposed to regulate? Probably?

I can't help but think of that mad scientist on Robot Chicken "pluto is no longer a planet, also cake is no longer fattening!" etc..
"all cell phones must have radios! also, all flashlights must have calculators! all lawnmowers must have laser printers! all washing machines must have air conditioners!!"
I think this is just as bad as cars having to be hybrid... I understand the gasoline being a back-up for when you have a lack of charge... but 'CMOOOOON!

I really thought I made a funny, but I suppose lithium ion batteries and carbon emissions, both own the environment.

Neville used to be a Wussie too! Wherever he is. That was before my time though.
It's not that we didn't care it's just that we ran a really weird show.
I like to think our lateness and overrun would only add to the fact that nobody's going to believe "there was this crazy show that played techno that had Daft Punk's "robot rock" as it's intro..." and then they go on to describe how the local public access radio station that normally plays smooth jazz has a show that ends with the hosts saying "arabian goggles" as much as they can.

everyone I know that has satellite radio likes it, but regular radio? people still listen to that?
Oh don't get me started on sat radio (we have SirXM at work). It's horrible. I mean, it's not as bad a commercial radio, but it's not much better. The damn INDIE STATION has a playlist so short I often hear the same song twice in a 5 hour shift. There's just no excuse for that whatsoever. Good luck keeping your sanity on any of the other stations.

There is no excuse for you to have been late to your own show on a frequent basis. It doesn't send any other message than a lack of professionalism.
If he liked it and his boss liked it and nobody else complained, what is the problem? It sounds like a lack of professionalism was the point, and I dig it.

It wasn't really a boss thing. We were volunteering to do the show. There was no money exchange.

Well most of your posts make people vomit in disgust, so I feel like I'm slaying some sort of garbage dragon.
And it wasn't even my show. If I had my way we would have been on air as long as possible, giving people something to listen to other than classic rock stations.

I can't remember the last time I've ever wanted to listen to the radio. I like NPR, but they have podcasts of all the shows I listen to.
There is basically no reason for the radio to exist in my world.
I get that he came from here you guys, you don't have to play Turn the Page every single hour!
this is a post of undeniable quality

Getting started with BATTLETECH: Part 1 / Part 2
They're going to a body disposal party and they're not the first guests
listening to my iPod
and actually my cassette deck would work better for that
Yeah, I only use my car radio for my Zune and if it had an aux input I wouldn't even use the FM transmitter (piece of shit).
Of course, maybe we just run things differently at WUSC-FM COLUMBIA, 90.5 WHOOP WHOOP
Neville used to be a Wussie too! Wherever he is. That was before my time though.
I did this with my MP3 player in my old car.
My 1997 Malibu was more iPod ready than most cars.

But yah, I was a Wussie back in the day.

This is what the haggard mule and cart are for.
It's at least as fast as a hybrid.
So much this.
I wait with bated breath for the blogosphere to cry out with indignation about this callous joke material.

Grey Ghost I hear you! I hear you right in my heart.
Although I can only speak to prepping a talk show as opposed to a music show.
