I went with my grandma to a doctor’s appointment the other day.  While we were sitting in the waiting room, I took note of the music being filtered in.  It seemed a little off for a doctor’s office where most of the patients were card-carrying members of AARP. 

Finally, I turned to my grandma and said, “I never thought I’d be sitting here with you listening to Vanilla Ice.”  And Grandma, always one to speak her mind, replied, “Well who the hell is Vanilla Ice? It sounds like shit to me.”  Damn, I love my grandma and her dirty mouth : )

Dangerboy and I are back from our road trip. We drove to Colorado — Denver, Boulder, Estes Park, Fort Collins, and Rocky Mountain National Park. The whole trip was fun and relaxing, especially camping in the park. 

Thanks for all the recommendations on music. XO, no way on Oklahoma, or any other musicals : )  We did listen to Cake, Amy Winehouse, Bare Naked Ladies, Foo Fighters, alt country, classical, and whatever decent radio stations we could find. 

Eric will probably have pics up in the next couple of days on his site. Until then, I’ll leave you with a pic of a store front in Fort Collins…

* Edit: Pics are up at Eric’s site. Just click on the pic in his post to see more photos.

It’s road trip time for Dangerboy and me… do you have any recommendations for some good music we should take with us?

I used to hang out with a group of people that included a radio DJ. He had a rather distinct voice on air and in person.  On his radio show one night, he talked about penile pumps and how he would like to own one. A woman who worked at a porn store (not me) called in to the radio show and said she would give one to him.  All he had to do was come to the store and pick it up.

Anyway, the DJ didn’t really want the hose holder… the conversation just made for good radio. However, someone else did want that pump.  Some listener decided to pretend to be the DJ and scam a pump out of the porn store. From what I know of the story, the guy even did an imitation of the DJ’s voice when he went to the porn store. Apparently he was convincing enough that the porn clerk gave it to him.

Then that porn clerk called into the radio station to give the DJ some shit about the pump. And he had no idea what she was talking about.  But that’s his side of the story.  Who knows, maybe he actually got the free willy wacker, and the story was just his way of covering his tracks…
