I wouldn't be too concerned. Since we hit the 70s yesterday, it's almost a certainty we're heading to the 80s or 90s today.

I have an all-day meeting tomorrow tho, so I'm hoping to not miss anything too spectacular myself.

Still digging your avatar, tho, Beej. How'd the rest of Beejmas go?

"a veil of tears for the virgin birth..."

Oh wait, that was a different 'mas.

BOS KC, my favorite boogie man.

"John Madden looks like a slit watermelon." Which goes great with turducken...

Listening on the replay, I'm concurring on the KC BOS -- there's something so weirdly evil about the song, it fascinates me -- but an HM to Climax Blues Band (and proxy BOS from Mshray if he didn't pop in, I haven't checked yet) because it's all about the NI-HI-HITE.

Thanks for the proxy, I was in Seattle the last two days.

and fwiw, I totally agree with Geoff about the KFOG commercials being a deliberate spoof of those excruciating NBC ones (and that they are every bit as excruciating in their own right).  I don't even see how there could be any debate, but there you go....

Flame war!

they're 2 completely different styles. One (NBC) is parodying an over-the-top radio show, the other is a buncha friends arguing.  If KFOG thinks one is spoofing the other, Irish Greg (or whoever) needs to go back to writing/producing 101.
