Thanks, Perkins and -t.
I'd love to buy an island. It's a ways down the list after "condo" and "retirement plan". Pity. But I'd gladly visit Buffista Island.
Congrats on the new couch, Kathy.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

See "snow machine" makes me think of the device they use to make snow for ski slopes, not of a snow mobile.
"duck, duck, goose", as is Right and Proper
Agreed.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
This weekend we're heading to Indiana to visit with family and friends from (I can't believe I'm saying this) elementary school!
Facebook?
Snowmachine is an Alaskan thing.
That makes sense. You don't much need that word for the "making snow for ski slopes" machine up there, do you?

The noon show people are talking about the difference between Chicago and NY/LA when it comes to people's relationship with the media. Since we don't have a central connection to a big entertainment center (Broadway in NY, Hollywood in LA), the locals have a real connection with the local media in radio and local TV that is unlike those two cities. When a long-time radio host or news anchor leaves or dies suddenly, it's real news here and not just on their station. (Or so say these guys on the radio who have worked in other places than Chicago before returning here.)
I grew up listening to WGN which I had associated with my parents/grandparents, but they did change with the times so I started listening myself when I had a long commute into work. I guess I'm no longer the target demographic, which is why they're getting rid of my favorite show.

That's how you know it's good pop music.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Police use Taser on fake cougar
Police in Michigan responding to a report of a cougar on the loose said they ended up shooting a large toy cat with a Taser stun gun.
Warren police said the 911 caller said a "huge" animal resembling "a 150-pound cat" was spotted in an old cement drainpipe in Bates Park and 10 officers were sent to the scene, WDIV-TV, Detroit, reported Monday.
The officers saw the outline of the animal in the pipe and shot it with the Taser -- only to discover it was a large toy cougar.
Police Commissioner William Dwyer said investigators believe the incident, which cost the department $1,000 in wasted police hours from responding to the scene and filling out paperwork, was a prank.
Dwyer said the prankster could face 90 days probation and fines equivalent to the wasted police money if caught.
I bet they're just saying it was a prank because they're embarrassed....
