Dang, my stream seems to be having trouble starting.

BOS early Lyle Lovett. Why isn't he writing songs like this anymore?

and was that clip from Raising Arizona?

[mshray]

Ahhh, BOS Lyle.

Had car trouble & got in late, plus I have a 10:00 conf call, so this might be all I get today.

maybe you have a "going problem"

"I am SHIVA, the God of Death!"

I don't know if that's what we expected when we named you a superpatriot, Mike...

First they've got "It's-my-car-now-daht-cahm"; now Tom Shane is using slang like "it's totally chill" and "no one's going to get up in your grill"--I'm not sure if I should be offended at their pandering or just confused.

Hearing hip-hop commercials on stations that don't play hip-hop (and for whom a goodly percentage of the audience probably don't like the stuff) is kinda silly, at best. The one you mention (and a similar one for MSN, who are trying again to turn themselves into Google/Yahoo/AOL) is quite annoying.  Hearing Mr Shane do slang is pretty hilarious, but this stuff is creeping into the language -- see the MSNBC "pimping" controversy.  Recently I saw one of the incredibly whitebread Weather Channel guys giving a ski report and referring to the post-storm accumulation at some resort as "sick" -- first time I'd heard anyone over 25 use that word in such a context.

and speaking of, I just heard both the "It's mah car now" and MSN commercials on 'BCO within minutes of each other.

yeah, me too.  unfortunately.
