WA2K Radio is now on the air

I agree, C.I. It's all just a political football, I'm afraid.

Listeners, let's just keep the spirit quietly in our hearts, and the mind will follow.

With the eve of all that's dear, from our staff and listeners here......

Selah!

I plan to celebrate Xmas, Christmas, the same way I always have every year of my life. If others wanna fight about it just stay away from my decorations.

will do, edgar.

Speaking of Xmas, don't forget Exene Cervenkas, punk rocker extraordinaire. "Christene" is on her birth certificate, but she decided to change it...

Anybody from Arkansas?
******

The owner of a golf course in Arkansas was confused about paying an invoice,
so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her
into his office and said, "You graduated from the Univ. of Arkansas and I
need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you
take off?" The secretary thought a moment, then replied, "Everything but my
earrings." You gotta love those Arkansas women.

A group of Arkansas friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the
day. that night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the
weight of an eight-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had
a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the
successful hunter replied. "You left Henry laying out there and carried the
deer back?" they inquired. "A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured
no one is going to steal Henry!"

________________________________________________________________
Regarding the year 2000, a senior at Arkansas was overhead saying "when the
end of the world comes, I hope to be in Arkansas." When asked why, he stated
that everything happens here 20 years later than the rest of the civilized
world.

The young Arkansas man came running into the store and said to his buddy,
"Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba
replied, "Did you see who it was?" The young Arkansayer answered. "I
couldn't tell, but I got the license number."

NEWS FLASH- Arkansas' worst air disaster occurred when a small two-seater
Cessna 150 plane, piloted by two University of Arkansas students, crashed
into a cemetery earlier today. Search and rescue workers have recovered 300
bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the
evening. The pilot and copilot survived and are helping in the recovery
efforts.

=====================================================
An Arkansas State Trooper pulled over a pickup on 1-40. The trooper asked
"Got any ID?" The driver replied, "Bout whut?"

=====================================================
An Arkansas man had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and
proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it.
Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he
drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the
fellow what the problem was. The man replied, " I have a flat tire." The
passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you
break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back!
I never did understand it either."

C.I. I loved your Bubba jokes and saved that Power christmas card to favorites.

Wy, not certain about your artist, but I did amend my boo boo on the English thread. oops.

Well, WA2K listeners, it's the night before and I promise no Clement Moore.

Twas the night before Christmas and Lionel Barrymore portrays Scrooge on the Lux Video Theater. It's a rushed production, but he's well suited to the part. We hear just his voice and forget the actor rides about in a wheelchair.

On the fly again
Santa rests, a toddy in hand.
He notes young Linda moved without warning;
She lived at the house below just this morning.
He sends elf Joe to reconoiter
Searching here and across the border.
She's here, Joe signals;
It's the girl with the pigtails.
They swoop; they land.
Asleep in the sand
The whole family huddled.
The elf's approach, befuddled.
I don't understand why some must hide.
And Joe the elf stood back and cried.

The Barrymores and now there's only Drew.

edgar, is that your poem?

Well, listeners. Have a wonderful holiday wherever you are.

My treat for today; a cup of coffee.

http://www.castlemountains.net/flashmar/A_Cup_Of_Joy.swf

Yeah, I wrote the poem spontaneously, which is why there's no structure to it.

C.I. fabulous. Listeners, here I sit rockin out to C.I.'s mouse in a cup. Much better than a tempest in a teapot.

edgar, Practically all my poetry is spontaneous. It just takes a little inspiration. Unfortunately, I don't see much except that by truemale, but unstructured or not, our listeners enjoyed it.

Manhattan Transfer did this oldie:

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (Boy!)

I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
Show me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug just snug in a jug
A sliced up onion and a raw one
Draw one -
Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup

Boston bean (soy beans)
Green bean (cabbage and greens)
I'm not keen about a bean
Unless it is a chili chili bean (boy!)

I love java sweet and hot
Whoops Mr. Moto I'm a coffee pot (yeah)
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup (yeah)

Slip me a slug of the wonderful mug
'An I'll cut a rug just as snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in the pot Joe
Takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter, percolator

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy!

That's for the mouse in our house.

Nicely done by United.

If flying is your game,
And travel is your name,
Book passage right now with

And safe, and you are the pilot.

Steer with the winds.

Nat King Cole has some advice for those on the road this weekend.

ah, Nat. We miss you. Loved that song, edgar.

I remember, listeners, when I was a love sick teenager playing the following song and loving to cry by it:

Nat King Cole

-English Words by Carl Sigman and Music by Gerhard Winkler

Answer me, oh, my love
Just what sin have I been guilty of?
Tell me how I came to lose your love
Please answer me, sweetheart
You were mine yesterday
I believed that love was here to stay
Won`t you tell me where I`ve gone astray?
Please answer me, my love
If you`re happier without me
I`ll try not to care
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know I`ve been true
Won`t you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
<instrumental interlude>
(If you`re happier without me)
(I`ll try not to care)
But if you still think about me
Please listen to my prayer
You must know (you must know)I`ve been true (I`ve been true)
Won`t you say that we can start anew?
In my sorrow now I turn to you
Please answer me, my love
Answer me, my love
