    TV and Radio Morning Shows

    I see. Ouch. It's weird, you can tell there's a huge disparity in talent between Chicago DJs and Milwaukee DJs, as well as television hosts, for that matter. The Milwaukee stations just have a bush-league feel to them while the Chicago stations are much more slick and btter produced. Of course, this makes sense, because Chicago, L.A., and New York are the Big 3 markets that radio and television hopefuls spend a good part of their careers working their way up to. Nobody sets their heart on making it to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

    The California Governor Race Is The Best Ever

    The best race is the human race. Go Homestar Governor! Everybody, everybody should vote for him, and Marshie for lieutenant governor.

    You're such a kidder. Whoa! It's the merger we've all been clamoring for!

    TV and Radio Morning Shows

    Which market are you in AoO? I get Chicago and Milwaukee and other smaller ones in between...it's the worst of both worlds. I remember once on channel 50 in Chicago (now a UPN affiliate) they did a program called "Radio Faces" where they would show random morning shows in the city with cameras in the studios so you could see what your favorite DJs looked like. This was around 1994, 1995. In specific, they showed Mancow Muller (going by his full name at the time, and I don't think he was at Q101), Steve Dahl, et al. The reason I bring this up is because the woman who read the news on B96's morning show, which I listened to at the time, was deceptively like 350 pounds. I was shocked, and frankly a little disgusted.

    Essential Albums

    I would based on its diversity. There's pretty much something on there for everyone, from proto-metal stuff like "One of these days" to a stupid pop ditty in "San Tropez." Let's not forget "Echoes" the massive progressive epic. "Seamus" is a nice little bluesy kind of song, and "A Pillow of Winds" sounds exactly like its title. Great, GREAT album. Floyd's best in my book. WYWH is completely inferior to Dark Side. They were travelling down the long pretentious road of aging and turmoil at that point, and I think it shows on the album. Everyone knows the title track well enough, but the rest of the album really leaves me wanting something else. Welcome To The Machine and Have A Cigar are great songs. There are a few boring parts of SOYCD, which are mostly at the beginning. The funkier part, I'm inclined to say Part 8, is a favorite of mine. I'd list Dark Side, WWYH, and The Wall as essential. Whoever said Another Brick Part 1 was bad was stupid. 2 is the worst one, naturally. It goes 3, 1, 2. (Also: Chicago's area code)

    Why Jordan doesn't own the Bucks

    This is old news. It's not so much that he wanted to pack up and go, but he requested that there be a clause that says if business doesn't pick up in Milwaukee over the next few years, that he can have the option to relocate. Senator Herb Kohl freaked out, knowing that if he let the Bucks slip away, during an election year, he was finished. Personally I don't see Las Vegas as working. You just know something gambling-related will go terribly wrong in a matter of time. Also, Wisconsin loves its sports teams (though the other teams are not loved to the same degree as the Packers...thank God), and the Bradley Center is a good arena to play in.

    ESPN Classic

    Right now the 1975 Rose Bowl is on. The announcers aren't good and the picture quality is bad. Nope, no need to bother with Gretzky-era NHL games.

    My thread...

    If he starts a thread saying "I am new" ready the ol' banning finger. (?) BTW, I had a feeling Beefeater was Paul, but wasn't a million percent sure, so I made that Choose Your Own Adventure post.

    My thread...

    Mole, if they could ban his IP address, they would have by now. He's on AOL and it's dynamic or something, so he can never be banned.

    TV and Radio Morning Shows

    The worst are those kinds that are wacky and zany. Not quite shock-jocks, just wacky. They tend to have an unmatched abundance of funny news stories from Finland or Cameroon that involve a man being punished for a speeding ticket with a vasectomy or something like that. For their bumpers coming back out of a break, they will invariably have some hodgepodge of movie lines taken out of context like "I can't believe these idiots are here!" "It's the Josh and Ruth Morning Show!" "This is what happens when the inmates run the asylum." "Right here on Magic 96!" These shows are my enemy.

    Bob Barron crashed my MusicMatch!

    So whatever reason, I've got Bob on my Buddy list. So he signs off, and signs back on, which initiates your little on sound. However, he did this at the same time that I was loading a song on MusicMatch Jukebox! ("Man in the Box," for the record.) The sound card got all baffled because I was telling it to play something as it was occupied, and now MusicMatch performed an illegal operation...all thanks to you Bob. You suck.

    Seinfeld question

    All In The Family and Seinfeld share the #1 sitcom spot. If M*A*S*H was only five seasons, kept the original cast, and were to end with Blake dying, it would probably be the best show ever.

    How did anyone see this title and not instantly reply with "turn your monitor on"?

    Hello everyone, I am the Beefeater

    A Czech Republic "CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE! © " post: You have started a thread proclaiming your newness. (Novelty?) If you are a legitimate addition to the board, turn to page 43. If you are Prince Paul or a similar dorkwad, turn to page 176. If you wish to enter the castle through the back door, turn to page 8. PAGE 43: Welcome to the board, Beefeater. I assume you make a fine gin, and guard the palace well. As you are a legitimate poster, I apologize for my colleagues and their cynicism. As you would know from lurking, we can no longer accept new posters showing up as themselves, and must challenge them at every turn. But anyway, glad to see you here, and here's hoping you engage in some good conversation and arguments here at TSM. PAGE 176: You fucking fuck, you suck at everything. You're living on borrowed time here, and we're just waiting for you to break out the READ POETRY catchphrase so a mod can pull the trigger on you. Just excuse yourself before you are excused, you stupid waste of air and bandwidth. I hate you. PAGE 8: In your quest to enter the castle of Gargzhanov, you have decided to be stealthy and sneak in through the back door! After swimming across the moat and befriending the oft-misunderstood monster that lurks in the murky waters, you have made it to the castle. Now you must get to the tower to save the princess.

    ESPN Classic

    What's with the "Your Father's" ESPN Classic on weekdays mornings? What is that supposed to mean, or make it any different? All I've gathered is that there's a whole lotta Howard Cosell.

    ESPN Classic

    I like ESPN Classic, but I would like it a whole lot more if they showed less college football. It's on year-round, and I really couldn't care less about the 1991 Peach Bowl. They should show more college basketball and NHL.
