Did anybody hear that when it actually happened?  Did they really have the smooth-voiced dude announcing right up until noon, at which point the format switched?  Or is this bit contrived?

Likewise.

I arrived a few minutes late; did Jim get a b'day shout from Dave?

Hey Rastermon, I love your quote.
I know that 10 is 2 in base2, but wouldn't it really be more appropo somehow to say people were either 0 or 1?
(no, this is not my strong suit, I'm just a dabbler)

VHM Saga.  I know others are tired of this, but I really like the "Zappa meets Starbuck" guitar/percussion solo
