ARE...

The real meaning

This time of year especially, radio stations begin to hear from all "the have NOTS.." The holiday season is prime for "fruitcakes" coming out of the woodwork. Recently, we encountered a prize winner who made a very short special trip into the station to pick up his FREE T-Shirt. He ranted and raved about a Bike Bash key he NEVER won and bitched about something FREE. He said he made a special trip to pick up a crappy T-shirt and other things he doesn't need? I did mention the prizes are FREE at WZXL right???!#??
This week another listener was upset not to win Bon Jovi tickets. Then to make a special call later to wish us a Merry Christmas and that he won his tickets on another radio station.." so thanks alot" were the words. I really don't know what drives people to be miserable when it's so easy to be happy?

Consider: Just six days ago Colts coach Tony Dungy was look pretty close to perfect! His team was undefeated and closing in on a 33 year record (72' Dolphins). Then his team lost it's first game. Then the dreaded phone call. His 18 year old son was found dead. To deepen the knife in his gut it's been ruled an apparent suicide. Nice season, Worse Christmas ever. Or how about kissing the kids goodnight 2 weeks before Christmas as the stockings are hung and gifts lie unwrapped under the tree. You go to bed and a few hours later some depressed drunk guy plows through your house, killing you as you sleep at 4:30am! Or innocently buying movie passes for your children at 11:30am and being shot in the head at close range for no reason at all??!

There are many more stories but my typing finger is getting tired. I just know I would be greatful for a FREE anything but most of all THANKFUL for the real meaning of health and true happiness 365 days a year! Here, have a FREE Hooters calendar..

DAMON leaves the nation

Did you feel it????

I heard it over the radio on a far away AM signal at 4:50am. Cruisin' up the parkway for another day on the ZXL Morning Show I felt a dull stab in my stomach as the Yankees land Johnny Damon. He'll replace the legend Bernie Williams as the everyday CF. The SOX blew the negotiations by holding firm on a 4 year/ $40 million offer. Who can live on THAT?!@!?!!?#!!???

The SOX also leaked the fact they were searching for a new "Damon". Prediction> They will approach and negotiate in the end with Indians star Coco Crisp. He's young and fast and could be an awesome addition/replacement. They might even name a breakfast cereal after him.

Yankees 2006: They have NO pitchers under 60 years old! The SOX have Beckett! DAMON will be a slow go'
out of the box and feel the wrath of fans and media. SOX will compete in the East. Better pitching overall.
Damon will have to shave and get off the juice. George needs pitching. Will Rocket sign back up?? He's 62?

2005: About the people!

Another great Bike Bash Party Wednesday night! Some great names were in attendance including John Dudar from May Landing, Kathy Fine and Darla Ford from Seaville, Mr. & Mrs. Ken Winner, The Mahogany Crew, Patty Bennett, Norman Courson and the big Harley winner Bill KITA! He'a a cop! Now I'm golden with that rediculous open container law! Did I spell rediculous correctly? Hey, I sounded it out!?

Other VIP names of 2005:

Dan the deer camp cook: Brought us a huge vat of homemade venison stew! It was awesome. Very tender. It tasted nothing like bambi. More like steak. The vegan princess doesn't know what he's missing. Thanks Dan!

Kathy Smith: She has to LIVE with Tom! She made the most incredible batch of XMAS cookies I've ever eaten.
I killed half the bag on my way home down the parkway. The cop would never have noticed had I not took a swill from my bottle of merlot to wash em' down. That open container law again. Where was our Bike Bash winner when I needed him! Thanks again Kathy for the nice gift. You can keep the T-Bone.

Sgt. Kilroy Jr. Home for the holidays! Enjoy the light display and your close family AND thanks dad for the mention in your front page PRESS of Atlantic City feature story!
