That you can just sit down, catch it half over, just beggining, but don't have time to watch it all, or just throw int he DVD to kill an hour.  I have a few that come to mind. I can catch them at any point, and just start watching.

In no real order:

-Office Space. 

-Forrest Gump

-Saving Pvt. Ryan

-Hollywood Knights

-Pulp Fiction

If I have only 30 min-or whatever to kill, I can stick any of these in, and have a blast.  Heck, I bet I have viewed these 5 over 20 times each ( and yes, I have a life! )

Have a good weekend!

I guess I am getting older, and cranky. But, I am really getting tired of radio ads lately...Here is an example: Some company that wants you to sell stuff for them on ebay. They must think we are stupid, the ad starts with a second of music, a phoney announcer telling us we will be back to the music in a second..then, acts like he is THE announcer, tells us about some silly company, then, before he gives the phone number out, he stammers a second...like he is looking for the number. LAME!

The other complaint, most might not even know it, but, on the air, time is money. So, the more info you can squeeze in a 30 second ( or whatever) spot, the better. Lately, I have noticed horrible editing, eliminating time between the end of the sentence, ect. I'm not in the biz, just did a little with our old high school station, but, it is very obvious to me.

Oh well. like I said, older I get, the picky-er I get!

OK gang, I was raised in Central Wisconsin, lived here since 1984, and have noticed bad habits I tend only to see around here. Does anyone else notice these, or, is it just me?

1) Obviously, cars do not have turn signals in STL, I never see anyone use them.  The rare occurance I see one, it must have been an out of town driver.  I'm not talking just about changing lanes, but, at a dead stop, in the middle of the road, waiting for traffic to clear to make a left turn. Nice.

2) Tossing cig butts out the window. Also, empting ashtrays at stop lights. Both are nasty. You pull up to a stop light, ever notice all of the butts laying around. Note: if you don't want that nasty used butt in the car, wait until you exit said car to smoke it. Don't toss it out. Thats a sign of a true hoosier.

3) Slingers. God, I love 'em. Is like toasted ravs, & gooey butter cake, oh, and pork steaks? Just a STL thing? mmmm.

4) Generous people. ..Americans in general area generous when it comes to helping out, either with $$, or time. I've seen more here, than anywhere I have been. That is something to proud of ( and the slingers)

Have a great '08, peeps!

Ok, this ban isn't about govenment telling businesses they can't have smoker in the place.and don't feed me the the BS line about " if you don't like it, don't go".  Thats a childish comment, when you have no beeter aurgument.

It is about protecting the health of the workers.  Imagine if some ground up asbestos, and blew into your cube, office,  or whereever you work, 40 hours a week, non-stop? Would you be mad? Would you complain to management? Would you call OSHA?

OSHA provides us all safe workplace.  We are entitled to come home, to our families every day, safe, and secure.  This ban protects the foodservice, bar servers, bowling alley employees, casino workers, and the rest of us, from inhaling known cancer causing toxins. 

Why would you be mad at protecting people from dying??
