kata:

@Ken, thank you for sharing that link, I had no idea. Seems kind of brilliant and terrifying at the same time! Either way, a metal cruise is a brilliant business idea.
  12:44pm

Damn! This is GREAT!!!! I love the mix of styles.

So cpl5938 was Ferry's license plate at the time. I didn't know that for the last thirty something years.
  12:50pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Diane went on the metal cruise last year, too. I think she posted in Beware of the Blog after she came back. Sounded like a great time. Imagine if Francesco Schettino were the captain.

I'm enjoying Bob's show today.

Having a flashback.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:29pm

sorry for playing the entire "colors" c.d., but there's something wrong with the board and it's being "looked at".

too funny. I used to be "that guy" who spilled beer at every party but have since become more controlled.
  2:43pm
kat330:

@sbp: Heh!
  2:43pm
T-Zero:

@DCE: Better be "that guy" who spills beer than "that guy" who always pukes everywhere... ;)
  2:45pm
popo:

better to be that guy with a large joint
  2:49pm
kat330:

Gotta run but glad I had a moment to enjoy your tasty inaugural sound bites, Bob, and get a laugh courtesy of the lovely listeners. Moi!

  2:53pm
dc pat:

isn't there some kind of detergent specifically made for getting beer out of sound equipment? jeeze..
  2:54pm
T-Zero:
