2. Hi Wolvie!

:hi:

We don't get it til tomorrow on my station. And they're having pledge drive now. Luckily I am a member so I can listen to pledge drives withough guilt. Hope they don't pre-empt it, they're doing weird things with the schedule becaues of the pledge drive.

3. aw, shit!

[crispini]

4. Looks like it.

But I think you're gonna have to wait til they put it up.

6. It's posted.

About 11 minutes in, during the "Not My Job" segment. If you have the time, the rest of the show is pretty funny too.

For your listening pleasure...
Skip to 11:08 or so.

These are two different media types, so if one doesn't work, try the other.

14. I heard it, thanks.

quite good, even by the usual "Wait, wait" standards. :-)

7. He was charming and funny.

Discussed O'Reilly, the show and why it's different (we tend to stick to the truth), the Chuck Knoblauch ball hitting his mother.

The title of the game "Swedish Academy? We don't need no Swedish Academy!" The Ignoble Awards.

KO is playing for Ellen Kinglsey Hirshfield in Houston, TX to, of course, have Carl Kassell's voice on his answering machine.

I'm not gonna give it away, you'll have to listen for yourselves. It runs about 15 minutes.

:loveya:

8. What did you use to listen to it?

My 'puter doesn't know what a .smil is (and I have to admit, I don't either.) :)

9. When I went to the NPR site

you posted, there was a link which launched Real Player. It found the association, all I did was click on the "Listen" link on the left.

How's your day been? Me? I just back from a friend's hurricane dinner (read: cook everything perishable in case the power goes out). Sad to see that The West Wing is preempted due to Wilma coverage 24/7, on every channel. Patiently waiting for Footballer's Wives on BBC America. Excellent trash TV.

10. hopefully all remains well

in your neck of the woods, pats. i'd hate to think of you missing fitzmas because of wilma. :( (besides, rev's making us wait for everyone to be to the living room in Gull Bay before she lets us open our prezzies & if crispy & botany have to wait one second longer than they have to, i think they'll explode.)

11. I would hate to miss Fitzmas.

Do you think either has made Fitzgerald's site their home page?

We're expecting a "wind event". Gotta love weather euphemisms.:)
I just don't want to lose power should tomorrow be Fitzmas.

I want to unwrap the indictments already!

[WolverineDG]

12. lol!

no, but i bet their "refresh" icons are broken. ;)

i'm going to be useless at work tomorrow, checking in every hour "just in case." :evilfrown:
