The Blitz

[albrecht]

We totally should have called it Pearl Harbor.

No, then we'd get into even more trouble.
No disrespect to the Orientals.

How about something with "Hope" and "Change" in it?  That could be catchy.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are either ignorant or stupid.

So, here's a little education: 'The Blitz' is not something to throw around lightly; when used in the context of a frivolous activity such as this it's just downright offensive, not to mention utterly disgraceful.

Would you be calling this activity 'The 9/11', 'The Pearl Harbor' or 'The Hiroshima'? Somehow I doubt it.

Please try using your brain a bit harder the next time you have such an outstanding idea, thanks.

Or Lisa, or Dave or whoever the case may be.

AMA is LIVE

I've read about half of it. It was so nice of Art to do this.
Now up to 1,389 points.

Is it socially acceptable to pay a homeless guy standing on a busy street 20 bucks to hold a sign advertising the show for an hour or two

If it weren't over 100 degrees with 75% humidity over here, I'd probably be doing that myself. For free.

I thought our blitz was named after the popular football play.   :

I voted for this.

I hate having to choose. Can I be both?

[chefist]

Blitz TEAM: anyone want to call in with me to Rush's show in the morning on Friday? It's open lines and we can ask him if he knows about Art coming back, since they both are credited with saving AM radio! It will take several of us trying to get in, and we will have to wait a long time. Thanks...

haha...I guess carpet bombing is out too.

I know how you feel. I'm still pissed off by the genocide of all the Native Americans. Hey, whose your favorite sports team?

Eh, some of us deserved it.

I'm in the blue section with my friends, Ignorant and Stupid. I'm in the middle, blitzed.


Hey ho, let's go!

chefist, I'll give it a try.  Do you know what time to start trying to get into the call queue, or how to get through the call screener if we make it that far? I'm guessing we'd need to have a controversial current opinion on a current event prepared as a pretext, yes?  If any of us could get through, there are a few tie-ins to Limbaugh that can be mentioned:

Both Art and Limbaugh are in the National Radio Hall of Fame (very exclusive)
Art and Limbaugh are the only two radio hosts ever known to have traded their opening theme songs
Art is the only radio host known to have had a whacky gift delivered to him from Limbaugh (the alien figure)

In order to avoid confusion, I propose that the protocol on this forum be that when referring to Rush, the greatest rock group ever, always capitalize. All other rushes, don't.

I hope the Blitz and Midnight in the Desert and (Redacted)'s stint on it and all the rest turn out well for everyone involved. Good luck guys.

I hope (Redacted) can make enough money to help Aldous get into rehab.

Is that an option at this point?

I guess it would be a lot of money, huh?

Now let's not get all crazy here.

A certain amount of magical thinking is to be expected, but then there is reality.

Being able to afford Aldous into rehab is one thing. Having the funds to actually bribe him into rehab is a whole different kettle of Spacey Invaders.

[ziznak]

i think he's worth more ON DRUGS then off... so... yeah

It's everyone's Blitz.  If it makes a difference in listener numbers, everyone deserves the credit, not I.  Are you leaving us?  Say it isn't so.
