Oh my lord! I remember the Walton quote.. but I don’t seem to recall saying Bush was cute in ANY way!! But I guess if it was on Sherri’s desk, it must be true… What a blast from the past!!

I bet that you could post daily something that ‘Fletch” has
said. He should do stand-up comedy!!

As I was watching the other night and being a Wisconsin native, imagine my surprise when I learned from Sherri that the state has a new city…’Many-toe-eck!” So much for the toe cheese joke!

Here’s the :30 story (It probably won’t be as funny to “you” if you weren’t actually there)…

Once upon a time, in a LAND far, far far away. A young and cute LindsAy was being “trained” by an apt producer nammed Colleen. I was sitting in the booth…all nervous…when Colleen said “LindsAy…..” she didn’t get the REST of her sentence out before I yelled “30″ (seconds) in Gwen’s ear!

You should have seen her face!!!!!!!! It was HILARIOUS!

Turret time cues…gotta love ‘em.

Colleen, I will never forget that day! If only the
Boy Scouts could adopt your motto for news: “Nothing said during, or 30-minutes before or after a newscast counts.”

Randy, the Ms. Fixit story is still somewhere in the newsroom. Next time you’re there, ask to see it.

LindsAy, I forgot about getting Sue to page Peter Jennings. I laughed so hard it counted for an ab workout.

absoluetly Colleen. I think I laughed more on that one PKG than I did on anything else i saw or heard while spending my time at the station.

I had an unfortunate moment with a cub scout troop in the old production booth. they were sitting behind the producer chair, about 2 mins to air my live shot goes down..i can’t get anyone to answer 2-way, so i hit the ole handy *314 and have the “live” telephone in my hand and forget about it and the kids when i believe i screamed out one of the most offensive curse words in the dictionary (God doesn’t like it) As I hear myself reverb throughout the station and see the shocked faces of the children, I think I said to the troop leader, “Sorry, but you have had a very valuable experience here. You get to see what happens when it all goes wrong.” Horrible…Randy would you be refering to Ms. Fixit and the “Caulk” pkg. Trey still has that somewhere saved! Priceless!

Colleen, Hope your enjoying Red Stick. I think my favorite Colleen moment, was the LATEX Chaulk PKG.

Classic TV.

Ha…remember receptionist Sue said she used to page people in her sleep and her husband said, “One more time and you’re out of here.”
