I just bought an ELO compilation record on Sunday.

How did that line from the first "Diehard" movie go? When the FBI agents were telling the utility worker to turn off the power grid. "Shut it down! Shut it down now!"

Why apologize? You broadcast radio. We listen to the radio. Different hobbies.

Carmichael:

Tuck it up, tuck it up, Buddy's gonna shut you down. Don't know if I'm even close to the correct lyrics.

Robert:

I'm in complete agreement with Chris T. on the choice of name for this movie (which I haven't seen). I get confused enough with "On the Waterfront" vs. "On the Beach".

I would call in, but I really don't know what to say.

I catch myself in the park digging into the phone and then put it away.

Who does NOT tend to tune in mentally to any audible conversation?

Mr. T., can't you say something I disagree with vehemently today?

Danne D:

Some of the Aerial View's old old archives have some good road rage stories.

Robert:

Anybody else notice how his background music was often used by Jean Shepherd -- and now how he does engine noise is as Shep would?

Recording people talking on the phone could be an effective shaming deterrent.

Ah, the old Chris T. that we know and love. Welcome back, buddy. I missed you.

Are they allowed to do that?

I wonder if she got to go out after

It might be the NSA, or Robert Fripp.

I don't mind the NSA listening, but Robert Fripp.

Danne D:

Someone looked at a personals profile I had once and messaged me. I looked at there's and didn't message back (to be honest I thought it didn't look legit - looked sorta like one of those weird overseas spammy personals that cropped up) - the person actually complained that I looked and didn't say anything and was invading their privacy!

i always thought it was 'TALK' it up, like shoot off your mouth hotshot, you're gettin' shut down.

I'm right btw :) 1 point for me: www.lyricsfreak.com...

BTW, I and many of my friends tend to be loud -- but we don't pretend to be guarding our privacy at the same time.

chris - what's a good little (cheap) recorder to do nature sounds, cars passing, stuff like that? always wanted one. i have a marantz portable deck circa 1993 that was being tossed out by an agency i used to work at, but 'portable' is a relative term

Joey X:

I still think you should have pulled out your phone and started talking about how you're looking for "two unknown but eager actresses for the two final parts in your new project, you know, the one with Marty and Bob."
  6:43pm
E.T.Smith:

I've tried confronting a**holes. It rarely resolves as I'd wish, since a**holes feel consistently justified in their arrogance. Rather than leaving me vindicated, it always makes me dubious if its really me who's being the arrogant a**hole.

Nicholas Tanek:

My friend, Kevin
just adds to the conversation.

its really me who's being the arrogant a**hole.

this is an important episode because we need to DO PSAS ON HOW PEOPLE SHOULD BEHAVE IN PUBLIC ON PHONES, ETC

Tuning out now to avoid being spoiled. I have the last TWO seasons of "Breaking Bad" to catch up on some day.
Avatar 6:54pm
Danne D:

lol I'm with the other 2 :) Have a good night Chris and listeners
  6:55pm
Robert:

I mean I have to catch up, not that I have the episodes.

Greg:

The Badfinger Baby Blue was perfect cuz it starts with the line "Guess I got what I deserved"!
  6:57pm
Robert:

I only saw the 1st 3 seasons courtesy of a friend who was buying the DVD sets. I don't take cable, I'm broke, and I don't try to pirate major material.
Avatar 6:58pm
MK Ultra:

another great show, captain!
  7:00pm
Robert:

There are many reasons I like the show. One is that I saw myself as soooo like that guy, except not brilliant. Another is that I was very sympathetic to the actor and his product, feeling like he was both getting & giving his due after "Malcolm in the Middle", which was a show that I'm sure I was "supposed to" enjoy, and tried a few times good & hard, but didn't, except for his part.
