WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning listeners. Before I seek my panacea coffee I thought you might enjoy some observations on life. I'm brain dead right now so I can't figure them out. Will be back after I've been imbued with new life.

The secret of a good sermon is to have a good
beginning and a good ending; and to have the
two as close together as possible. ~George Burns

Santa Claus has the right idea ... Visit people only once a year.

~Victor Borge

die of a misprint. ~Mark Twain

become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become
a philosopher. ~Socrates

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

firmness and kindness, can be trained to do most
things. ~Jilly Cooper

diamonds back. ~Zsa Zsa Gabor

The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

you a more pleasant form of misery. ~Spike Milligan

Then it's time for my nap. ~Bob Hope

had to work its way through Congress. ~Will Rogers

grow older, it will avoid you. ~Winston Churchill

everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or
spread out. ~Phyllis Diller

he's too old to go anywhere. ~Billy Crystal

...and the rains came, and came, and came!

Good morning WA2K fans and listeners.

It seems that our studio became a class room last evening, and Boo and our Angel did a lot of exchanges resulting in the art of learning. <smile>

Welcome back, Cyracuz. Don't you ever wonder how Mandela survived twenty seven years in prison?

McTag has made more progress with Boo's quiz than I. Perhaps he should receive the fickle finger of fate award. <smile>

Bob, thank you for the one liners and the background on Vic Damone plus the matin of his song.

As for dys' naked, homeless turtle. He has found a home in my drive way and at this moment is doing a back stroke. His name is now Mark Spitz!

Raggedy, as usual, thank you for keeping us up to date on those who are noted in the world of stars. Ah, me. David Rockefeller and Chase Manhattan.

Francis, Georges and Anne are indeed worlds apart--both heirs. One to the holocaust; the other to oil.

Bob, I'm beginning to think that coffee is the universal panacea.

Yes Letty, I have wondered about that. I've come to the conclusion that he wasn't imprisoned. Only his body was. He is a man of such spiritual strength that it is impossible to take away his freedom. But still, to endure what he did without going mad is really something.

But what was worrying Mandela as he left Norway was that when he comes back to Africa and tells everyone about the midnight sun they'll think he's just a crazy old man. I think he is among the most human of humans.

Cyracuz, amen, from an unreligious person. Mandela is one of the all-time great people in the history of the world. You are so right about his not losing his freedom even in jail. Thank you for an inspiring thought today.

Now I wish Bush wouldn't put unrealistic and arbitrary restrictions on our aid to Africa. The stupid man will be responsible for many deaths if the aid we provide doesn't doesn't provide the necessary information and health aids such as condoms and bith control methods.

Sorry Letty. That's my rant for the day.

Well, Cyracuz, that remark garnered a smile and a memory.



Ivy - Midnight Sun Lyrics
floating over the airwaves
what a feeling
I don't believe it
distant voices from deep space
are you receiving?
or can't you hear it?

you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me

drifting over the freeways
it seems so easy
I know you're near me
rising up through the staircase
your eyes are open
I know you hear me

you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me

riding out on the airwaves
what a feeling
I don't believe it
lift me out of this strange place
give me something
you know I need it

you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me
you're still the only one
who sets me free
just like a midnight sun
shining on me

Rant on, Diane. We have many soap boxes on which to take a stand.

{{{{{{{{{{ LETTY }}}}}}}}}}

See ya in a few days.

Could I have the soap box for a moment? Fulfilling my duties as a member of the communications staff I present a guide to the befuddled male to better interface with his alleged peer, the little woman. This has been posted elsewhere but thought it appropriate to bring to the attention of those noble and ignoble brutes.


WORDS WOMEN USE AND WHAT THEY MEAN.......

FINE
This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are
right about but need to shut you up. NEVER use fine to describe how
a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

FIVE MINUTES
This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your
football game is going to last before you take out the trash,
so I feel that it's an even trade.

NOTHING
This means something and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is
usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you
inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an
argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with the word "Fine".



GO AHEAD (with raised eyebrows)
This is a dare. One that will result in a
woman getting upset over "Nothing" and
will end with the word "Fine".

GO AHEAD (normal eyebrows)
This means "I give up" or "do what you want because
I don't care". You will get a raised eyebrow
"Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by
"Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in
about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.



LOUD SIGH
This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement
very misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are
an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time
standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".

SOFT SIGH
Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of
the few things that some men actually understand. She is content. Your
best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

THAT'S OKAY
This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a
man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before
paying you retributions for what ever it is that you have done. "That's
Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a
raised eyebrow "Go Ahead". At some point in the near future when she
has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

PLEASE DO
This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the
chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing
whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the
truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay".

THANKS
A woman is thanking you. Do not faint, just say you're welcome.

THANKS A LOT
This is much different than "Thanks". A woman will say,
"Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies
that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by
the "Loud Sigh". Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the
"Loud Sigh", as she will only tell you "Nothing".

Brook Benton
Hotel happiness
Words and Music: by Earl Shuman and Leon Carr



I'm checking out of Hotel Loneliness
All my lonely days, they're all through
I'm checking into Hotel Happiness (oh, yeah)
Because, darlin', I found you

I left my teardrops in that old lonely room
Left my broken heart (my heart) back there, too
(Yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I won't be needin' them in Hotel Happiness (oh, yeah)
'cause, darling, I found you

I woke up (woke up) dreamin' of your crazy kisses (kisses) (crazy)
I woke up (woke up) tellin' Mr. Misery "Here's your key" 'cause

I'm checking out of Hotel Loneliness
And no, I won't be back, yes it's true
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gonna make my new address at Hotel Happiness (oh, yeah)
You know why, darlin', so glad I found you

No more, make my new address at Hotel Happiness
'cause, darlin', I found you

My goodness, Bob. It seems that those sure fire responses are copyrighted by us wimmins. Delightful, Boston.

Hmmmm, listeners, any rebuttal from the ladies here on WA2K?

That VERY enlightening piece should be the first page of every bible in the whole world. In fact, you could rip out all the other pages, I'd still buy the book.

Bob I hope you don't mind if I share those great post with some friends.

Ah, Brook Benton, edgar. Florida has stolen his "Rainy Night in Georgia", and converted it into "rainy days and Sunday's always get me down."

Well, my goodness. I would have thought that there would have been some resentment at Bob's remarks. Women know women better than men know women, I guess.

I hope our dj doesn't have to work today.

no work today

I'd show Bob's remarks to my girlfriend if I wasn't so worried that she'd go "That's OK"....

Ah, there he is. Every man needs a break, if only for his psyche's sake.

So glad that you have a day of rest, dj.

You can't take stuff like that seriously. I'm sure there is a list out there on men too. Someone find it please!!! *giggles*

Better safe than sorry, Cyracuz.

Well, listeners, it seems that it is station break time:

This is cyberspace, WA2K radio.

I had some doubts about posting that dangerous knowledge for the general public. I made a grievous error one day and used "fine" in the presence of my ex, Solveig. There followed a display which I refuse to parade in graphic detail to perusal by unsuspecting listeners. The temerity I exhibited in using one of "her" words can only be imagined.
