KFOG, But Not 10@10

[urth]

Just noticed that the KFOG web site is sporting new head shots of all of the airstaff (although Rosalie is wearing the same jacket she had on in the old one). Good shots of Dave and Annalisa, but Renee looks like she's rolling her eyes in hers. And Big Rick's mug is half in shadow--who signed off on that one?

But the KFOG blog pages are still MIA.

Great pics, but... Renee does need a re-do unless slightly silly is the desired look. I think Big Ricks is fine. Artistic shadowing.

Is Big Rick planning a career with the WWF?  Talk a bout looking COMPLETELY different than the previous pic:



He's lost some serious weight since the Live 105 days when he weighed over 300 lbs.

Yeah, his nickname wasn't just based on his personality. Good for him, though--couldn't have been easy. (Just had another observation on his new pic: think Zippy the Pinhead.)

Renee (not Renel!) is doing a happy hour today at the Ramp, from 5:00.  I have happy hour plans in Mtn View, but it sounds like fun.

I noticed on Dave's Blog a photo from 8/1 Live & Local Walnut Creek. That's me in middle (sportcoat) and mshray at left (blue shirt, red jacket), we're talking with KFOG engineer: http://www.kfog.com/shows/airstaff/dave_morey_blog.asp#0801

no wonder she was off this morning -- she was resting up to par-TAY!

Right below all that is the following, which could also be on the Funny Stuff thread.  Several of these are side-splitters.

In case you missed it. Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitationalwhich once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary,alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply A new definition. The winners are:

Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a--hole.

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows
little sign of breaking down in the near future.

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't … get it.

Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

Karmageddon: It's when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and then the Earth explodes, and it's a serious bummer.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Arachnoleptic Fit: The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

heehee?

OK.

THANKS to everyone for the great time this morning.
Enjoy the weekend.

Sorry, late to the discussion, but re: those new photos -- yipes!

These two look like they're posing for the high school yearbook:


Not so much in their previous photos:


And I've gotta agree w/urth on Big Rick's readiness for WWF:


Rosalie *lurves* that jacket:


And I think Peter lost some weight too.  Or he looks thinner w/o glasses.  Also, he's got a much cooler looking pose.

When Wayback Dave & I were at the Walnut Creek Live 'n' Local we chatted a bit with Renee who admitted to losing ten pounds, and she said Peter lost over 40.  It clearly showed.

Greg on the other hand has bulked up a tad.  About four years ago I hung with him at a remote & he chain smoked worse than Dave.  Now he's running marathons and winning bike races.

BTW, Darryl, did you attend the Live 'n' Local at Gordon Biersch in SJ again this year?

[darryl]

Hey mshray -- yeah, we were there (Morning Show remote in SJ).  Sorry, I totally forgot to check in here to see who else would be there.

Here's some of my photos:

Don "Elvis" was pretty great.

I wasn't there, although I really wanted to be.  That was the mornign that we went to the title company and spent 90 minutes signing documents for our new house.  Beer for breakfast woulda been a lot more fun.

Well hey, to be able to buy a new house in current times is something.  Guess you got a good price *and* a good interest rate?  How was it getting the loan?  I hear they're a little more stringent now.  :-}

I forewent the beer, but we decided to hit the breakfast buffet as things were winding down (maybe around 9-9:30AM), and our waiter/waitress conveniently forgot to bill us for it.  I believe we still left a nice tip out of guilt.

Listening to KFOG over the weeekend, and I gotta say that this Webster character is not growing on me.  Glad that Annalisa is filling in for Dave & not him this week.

I find Annalisa's delivery to be one of the most annoying things on KFOG... even more than hearing Coldplay's "La Vida Loca" for the fourth time in a day.  Sometimes she's got this sing-song-y delivery that borders on baby talk.  you usually hear it when she first checks onto the Air:  you hear the recorded voice of Dave Morey (something like "Wanna hear one more classic song from the 10 at 10 set?  Here's Annalisa with a bonus track..") and then she breaks in with her "I'm talking to Romper Room" voice:  'THANK you, dave MORey..."

man, I'm cranky today.

Is this "Say Hey (I Love You)" song by Michael Franti a big hit, chart-wise? 'cause it sure deserves to be -- it sounds like people should be singing it at baseball games 'n' stuff.

Thanks for ID'ing it.  Reminds me of "Iko Iko."

anyone else hear the 9:00 Pop Quiz today?  The prize was 3rd row Santana seats, so the category was "Famous 3rds", as in 'Breakfast, Lunch & ...'

It took several callers to get through the whole thing, and one guy in the middle gave the following answer:

Renee: Peter, Greg & ...

Foghead: Dave

and after about 1.6 seconds of hemming and hawing, they disqualified him and the next caller said 'Bobby'.

I was driving and laughing as loud as I've laughed in some time.
