Hi Joe & all! Desperately trying to listen on new phone (finally, reluctantly retired vintage flip phone) but connection & app wonky at moment. Joe, DID listen to your show from 2 weeks back whilst walking dogs today, that was wonderful. OK, off to try to listen to *this* show, cross your fingers. | |

Love the Olympics. Struggle with the coverage, but it's always a great fall back watch on the TV. | |
|
Sun. 8/12/12 1:26am
Droll:
JMcG, Whoa -- I have to say the fact there's 43 images leans much more towards terrifying than hilarious. Clown-like makeup seals the deal for me. Images 30-31 must represent some fetish from daytime TV I'm not familiar with. | |

Holly in NC:
Love Olympics, even NBC couldn't wreck the greatness of the athletes | |
