Hide the Bread

2012-01-24T17:19:00.005-05:00

Curious as a Cat.: Number 307

1) Do you like to cook? That would be a negatory. Kathy once stated that she never met a man who had more of an aversion to cooking. I do a decent breakfast and handle the grill well, but I'm really overall useless. (I can at least pay for at a restaurant.)

2) What's the name of the dance move you created that sweeping the world? Explain how it's done. It's called “The Bend Over and I'll Drive You Home”. Guess how you do it!

3) How do you feel about CATV cameras in public places? I think with the advent of cell camera/video phones and surveillance cameras that we are all on video except at home. So, I really don't care. Once technology is out of the box, it is impossible to put back.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My take: I hate to be gross (or worse than usual), but it looks like someone hurled in loave of bread. Yuch.

So You Had a Bad Day

2012-01-22T11:48:00.003-05:00

Jessica Lange wins a Golden Globe for AHS.

36. Have you watched American Horror Story? Every episode. It's Kathy's favorite show. The strangest part was in the finale they hinted that next year there will be a different cast. A lot of the show is trying to figure out who is alive and who is dead. At the end the live ones were killed.

37. Baseball hat or toque? What the fuck is a toque? Hello Wikipedia! Oh really? I'll go with my Yankees cap here.

38. Do you shampoo or soap up first in the shower? Before or after sex?

39. Wet the toothbrush or brush dry with the toothpaste? Slippery When wet.

40. Pen or pencil? Pen. I never make a mistake.

41. Have you ever gambled at a casino? Yes. I always win so it became no challenge.

42. Have you thrown up on a plane? No. Yech.

43. Have you thrown up in a car? No, I know you can pull over.

44. Have you thrown up at work? What's with the fucking vomit questions?

45. Do you scream on roller coasters? No, I don't go on them. I hate them. But, I took my kids on them all the time. My daughter Heather once wrote that when she grew up and found out, that I was a really cool dad.

46. How many shoes do you have? Two at a time.

47. Who was your first roommate? His name was Renard. When The Beatles broke up our freshman year, he and his bud Frank decided that they were to be the next Beatles. I asked “How can you do that?” He replied that they had heard all the so song so they'd pick up where The Beatles left off. What a moron.

48. What alcoholic beverage did you drink when you got drunk for the first time? Smirnoff and OJ. A Screwdriver if you will.

49. What was your first job? I friend who appeared on WTIT at 15, Tiny Tim, got us jobs at a country club snack bar. We had to be told not to throw the food at our customers.

50. What was your first car? The first Budmobile was a Chevy Impala. It exploded when a girl and I went to a drive in and left a cigarette burning in the back seat. My sis Diane had to be told (she was 12) not to call my folks at parties unless it was an emergency. She called them to say (around midnight) that “Bud's car is on fire. The Fire Department is here. Marie (a next door neighbor) is cooking hot chocolate in the kitchen. Is this an emergency?” I hadn't seen Marie in decades (her brother is Gypsy Joe, one of WTIT's original five DJs) until she came to my 260^th birthday bash that Kathy threw.

51. When did you go to your first funeral? Won't that be when I die? So, not yet.

52. How old were you when you first moved away from your hometown? 17 if you count college. 21 if you don't.

53. Who was your first grade teacher? Miss Antoinez.

54. Where did you go on your first airplane ride? 1970 to go to a peace demonstration in D.C.

55. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with? Never did it.

Gary & Bud at The Bash

56. Who was your first best friend and are you still friends with them? Galloping Gary who co-founded WTIT with Bouncing Bill and I. We hadn't spoke in years until facebook brought us back together. He came to the aforementioned 260^th bash.

57. Where did you live the first time you moved out of your parents’ house? Isn't this question 52?

58. Who is the first person you call when you have a bad day? Daniel Powter.

59. Whose wedding were you in the first time you were a bridesmaid or a groomsmen? I was in so many that I'm not sure. I think it was at Many Miles which was on the first anniversary of my first wedding.

60. What is the first thing you do in the morning? Wrestle a tiger.

61. What was the first concert you attended? Chubby Checker when I was 10.

62. First tattoo or piercing? Will never happen.

63. First celebrity crush? Haley Mills.

Quick Joey Small

2012-01-21T11:01:00.001-05:00

Saturday 9: Home

Granddaughter Lindsay & Kathy

1. Do you live close to where you grew up? Why? I live in the same state. I had always said that when my kids were grown I'd move out of Connecticut to a warmer place. I did not foresee that in 2004 I'd get a job that I couldn't replace. We had six inches of snow last night. I truly hate winter. But had I left, I'd be further from my grandkids and would not be with my lady.

2. Have you ever been so angry that you almost lost control? Only once. At a pee-wee football game my son, who was in the game, was horsing around with another kid and pushed him off the bench. The boys father ran over picked my son up and threw him. I could not believe my eyes. Ben was not injured, he was in full football gear. I had to restrained from killing the man. I made such a stink with the league that the guy was banned from going to games. In retrospect I should have pressed charges.

3. Are you a fan of a musical act that slightly embarrasses you? Not now, but in high school I was a fan of what they called bubblegum music. My favorite song from that genre was Quick Joey Small. When I hit college, I got totally into rock. The first time I heard Tommy, the Who's rock opera, I never looked back.

4. Is there a movie that always makes you cry? Notting Hill. I don't really understand why, either. It's a great romantic comedy, but Roberts and Grant really had no chemistry. But the plot always gets to me. I know a guy is not supposed to even like romantic comedies. But I do. So there.

5. Who is the most famous person that you've met? I've kissed Bonnie Raitt and met Huey Lewis. Both pretty cool events.

Sam loves this photo.

6. Before you leave your home, what must you have? Keys, iPhone, wallet and reading glasses. Fascinating question. I may have to kill off Sam and let Judd do this fucking meme.

7. What do you miss the most about being a kid? That everything was taken care of for me. No worries and no troubles. Although that make believe Tape Radio station that I created lives on. It's been the only constant in my life since I was 14. I always thought I'd outgrow it. Maybe next year, who knows?

8. Tell us about a passion of yours that your readers would not expect. I am a HUGE big cat fan. I watch countless hours of NatGeo and Animal Planet.

9. At what age do you think you'd be to think, “I've had a great run”? When I was in my 30s, my father-in-law died at 66. I remember thinking that he lived his life his way and that it wasn't too young. Now I look at 66 as though it were 40. My folks are in their mid 80s. I'm not sure I want all of their physical ailments. But they still seem happy. That's because they divorced in the 80s.

We're glad that you stopped by.

A Wonderful Day in The Neighborhood

2012-01-17T07:53:00.001-05:00

Curious as a Cat.: Number 306

1. Name three songs that remind you of specific people in your life. Explain who each reminds you of and why.

Cathy's Clown by The Everly Brothers. Kind of self explanatory. Not that I actually feel that way, in fact quite the opposite. But when we first got serious, I played it a lot while we had breakfast.

The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy. Though it was written about returning from war (originally titled GI Joe's Back in Town) I think of it when my “boys” (WTIT DJs) record. It used to be very frequently, but since the turn of the century it's more like a few times a years. So I open a lot of my Bud Weiser Radio Program shows with it.

I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles. I remember the first time that I heard it. On this side of the pond it was their first hit. I remember actually thinking (at age 12) that the band was unique and very different. Little did I know how much they would impact my life and those for generations to come.

2) What one socially-unacceptable behavior do you REALLY wish we could make socially-acceptable? Live sex shows at restaurants. Now THAT would give Hooters a run for their money! Besides, I hear the the food at The Sex Palace is to die for.

3) Have you ever milked a cow? Ever tipped a cow? Cat., I'm from the northeast. We do have cows, but this isn't the heartland. We had more important things to do like record Tape Radio shows.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My take: “It was his final resting spot. The world would forever mourn the loss of Mr. Rogers. Some say he was bigger than The Beatles." (The same “some” are morons.)

Get Me to a Phone Booth

2012-01-15T12:34:00.002-05:00

Welcome again to S t e al i ng which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd and the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this off a blogger named Tense Teacher of the blog Tense for a Reason. (Yes we know that we've ripped her off not so long ago as well. It's pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that's where we live as a thief). Also, it's long so we'll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Let's go!

Sunday Stealing: The Never Ending Meme, Part 2

21. Did you go to your high school prom? Yes, but I don't remember much. I do remember returning my date the next day to get her swimming suit. Her folks were not pleased that she never came home. Man was that crappy. Eight couples were all waiting with me for her. I said, “Get me to a phone booth. I'll get another date.” Our caravan of cars proceeded to the the phone and then the next house. Date number two was waiting with towel and suit in hand. (Yes, I know that this doesn't sound like me at all. But it is true.)

22. Perfect time to wake up? When your eyes open and you can't fall back to sleep.

23. Perfect time to go to bed? When your very sexy fiancée suggests it.

24. Do you use your queen right away in chess? I last played chess in 1969 at prep school. You're not gonna believe that I really don't remember or care.

25. Ever been in a car accident? Yes. I'm 260 years old. Shit happens.

26. Closer to mom or dad…or neither? Blow me.

27. What age is this exciting life over for you? Probably when I stole this fucking meme.

28. What decade during the 20th century would you have chosen to be a teenager? The 60s because that's how it played out for me. The 60s defined who I am.

29. Favorite shoes you have EVER owned? The black ones.

30. Do you have an article of clothing you have had since you were in high school? Holy shit! Where did my high school football jersey go?

31. Were you in track and field? No. It wasn't in me either.

32. Favorite fruit? Bananas. Guess why.

33. Have you ever written in a library book? Why did you rent one that said “Bud was here”?

34. Allergic to? Republicans and their worship of “job creators.”

35. Were you ever in a school talent show? In college. My roommate and I got booed. That was a fair reaction to our comedy sketch. Had we been shot to death, that would have been a fair reaction as well.

Are We There Yet?

2012-01-14T00:36:00.006-05:00

1. Have you ever still been in a relationship that you knew was ending, but you hung in with it anyway? If yes, why? Yes, but for lots of different reasons. My first marriage I stayed way too long, because of my kids. My oldest once said that we should have split sooner. I also had a girlfriend that we had enormous chemistry but had little else in common, and broke up and got back together a lot. Good or great sex tends to slow leaving town.

2. Tell why people around the world should be completely enthralled by you. I'm the King of Tape Radio. Top that!

3. Other than where you live, what's your favorite city and why? I love Boston, Chicago and San Francisco. But I'd go with warm weather year round like San Diego, but I've never been there.

4. What is something you are really passionate about? Jill Hennessy. I still miss Crossing Jordan.

5. What has been your most exciting prize that you've won? I'll go with my first prize. I won a song (a 45 RPM, and yes I'm old), by The Mamas & The Papas song I Saw Her Again. The DJ said after our conversation, on air, that I was both a funny and great guy. His name was Long John Wade at WDRC. I've won better and more expensive shit, but none more exciting than the first.

6. Do you think there was there a second gunman behind the grassy knoll? Yes. Kudos to Gal for suggesting this question.

7. What was the silliest, most fun, crazy or impractical gift that you received? I loved getting the complete Star Trek Cartoon Series on DVD. The
original actors voiced all the parts and the writers from the original series wrote the episodes.

8. What was the most practical gift that you received? Clothes. I need them as gifts. I simply have no sense of style beyond a Beatles tee and jogging pants.

9. What blogger has been in your blogroll the longest? How did you discover them? Linda from Are We There Yet was part of the first clique of bloggers that I was involved with. There were 25 of us. The others faded by choice (think Dragon Lady) and others ended their blogs.

We're glad that you stopped by.

Oh Canada

2012-01-08T18:38:00.000-05:00

The first pic of me with all three.

2. Last thing you bought? A present for my granddaughter Zoey. I had already bought her a great gift (Kathy & I celebrated Christmas yesterday with my two oldest kids and my grandkids) but on Christmas Eve my sister gave her the same thing. I never should have told her how easy it is to find an age appropriate gift on Amazon.

3. Last person you argued with? No clue. I don't easily get rattled.

4. Do you put butter before putting the peanut butter on? On what? A beautiful woman? I really should proofread questions EVERY week. This week with our Christmas party, I whiffed. So sue me.

5. One of your stuffed animals’ names as a kid? Dumbo. You think he might have been an elephant? You did? Wow. You're smart.

6. Did you ever at one time own a Barenaked Ladies CD? I love the band. So yes. But what's this “at one time” shit? Does the author of this masterpiece of a fucking meme throw out some routinely?

7. Favorite day of the week? Two days off, so life is good.

8. Favorite sundae topping? Fudge. Exciting question.

9. Did you take piano lessons? Yes. And I sucked so badly the teacher hated me. But when I convinced my mother to tell him to teach me pop music, he brought Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina. It was downhill from there.

10. Most frequent song played? Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Be In Carolina.

11. T.V. show you secretly enjoy? I just got heavily into Big Bang Theory. I know, I was the last one in on it.

12. Would you rather play basketball or hockey? Basketball. Hockey is not a sport. It has no ball.

13. Date someone older or younger? I've done both. Once when I was about 40, a 20 something date stated that she knew I was older, but wanted to know if I were her father's age. I asked, “How old is he?” She said he was 38. I replied, “No I'm not his age. No worries.” Man was she easy.

14. One place you could travel right now? If this only were an actual sentence I might answer it.

15. Do you use umbrellas? No. But they don't use me either.

16. Do you know all the words to the Canadian national anthem? “Oh Canada, da da da da da da.” So no.

17. Favorite cheese? Swiss. I hear their army knife rocks as well.

18. The Smith’s or The Cure? A question from say 1987? Did I steal a fucking old meme. I'll go Cure here, like it matters.

19. Do you prefer blondes or brunettes? Where did all the great questions go like “swallow or spit”? Gees, this meme sucks moose.

20. Best job you ever had? My current one. Hey, my boss could be reading this. On second thought, he barely can use a computer. But, his boss does so I'll stick with the answer.

If I Only Had a Heart or a Brain

2012-01-07T00:50:00.000-05:00

Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let's begin!

Saturday 9: Nobody Told Me

1. When you grew up were you ever told how to deal with problems? Yes. I was told to deal with it. Helpful and compassionate.

2. What was your first apartment like? Four rooms and a gas stove in the WTIT Studio which was the only heat source and it was in the kitchen. You could see the flames. That's why we called that studio Hell's Kitchen.

3. What was the first car you owned? It was a Chevy Impala. It died a horrible death from flames. It was a drive-in sex-alcohol-cigarette scenario. RIP.

4. Tell us about a crush or relationship that you had at high school. Lots. One crush was on (really) twins. I was hired to DJ at that classes 15th reunion (I transferred after my first year). I told the story on mike. One of the sisters came up to me and said, “You had a crush on me? I don't remember you.” A Kodak moment for sure.

5. Have you ever had an “enemy” in your life? Nope. Just bosses I did not care for, but not enemies. Although a couple felt so at the time.

6. What were you doing the first night that you got drunk? I had a first date

with “Nancy”. I had wanted to ask her out for a while, but I was always seeing someone else. Finally unattached, I asked her to a party. Even though I did not drink, she was upset there was alcohol at the party and insisted that I take her home. I had never had anything against drinking, but usually everyone drank beer which I hate to this day. (Don't tell me about the irony of my WTIT DJ name, I get it.) After dropping her off I was offered a Smirnoff with OJ, a “screwdriver” if you will. Smirnoff and I formed a long lasting relationship that night.

7. Ten years ago, what was you job and did you like it? I was in marketing at a Fortune 500 company and I loved it. Although, I do like what I'm doing now better.

8. What movie had the biggest impact on you as a child and why? The Wizard of Oz. How we looked forward to that once a year event. Even my folks were psyched. Popcorn and the whole 9 yards. If I only had a brain...

9. What are your plans for this weekend? Christmas is today at the Weiser home. My daughter Heather. Her husband and my granddaughters Lindsay and Lauren will be here along with my son Ben, wife Maria and my youngest granddaughter Zoey will be here. We're back with Stealing.

We're glad that you stopped by.
Enjoy your weekend.

Where is That Magazine?

2012-01-01T12:04:00.007-05:00

Sunday Stealing: The 2011 Year End Meme

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? I am very proud of the charity work I have done. You might think getting people to donate so that women can have breast implants is easy work, but it isn’t. Shouldn't the poor woman have the same rights as the richer ones for breast augmentation? I aided Our Sisters of the Tiny Breasts all I could.

2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? No & no. I don't do resolutions because I am perfect as I am.

Zoey and Santa from the newspaper.

3. Did anyone close to you give birth? My son Ben and his wife Maria gave birth to their first child. My granddaughter Zoey was born in June. It's their first and my third granddaughter.

4. Did anyone close to you die? No, but Kathy's dad passed in March. It hit her extremely hard.

5. What countries did you visit? Do country fairs count?

6. What would you like to have in 2012 that you lacked in 2011? A nice house. It should come this month. It will give WTIT its nicest studio in years. In fact, it may be the best yet.

7. What dates from 2011 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? Just with Kathy. Once you're engaged, dating others can be considered a tad tacky.

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year? I think surviving it was the greatest.

9. What was your biggest failure? I did not win Powerball. It might have something to do with never buying lottery tickets. There may be a cause and effect going on there.

10. What was the best thing you bought? The new WTIT mixing board. We had not even had the ability to record a session in over a year. Harvey Wallbanger and I christened it in November.

11. Whose behavior merited celebration? Kathy's. You may find this hard to believe, but I am not a day at the beach to be with.

12. Whose behavior made you appalled and disgusted? The Congress. Or more precise, the Republican's behavior. They are under the misguided impression that if they hold the country hostage, blame everything on Obama, that the country would elect one of their bozos running for the Republican nomination for president.

13. What song will always remind you of 2011? Fuck You by Cee Lo Green. Not only a perfect Motown revival sound, but a great message as well.

14. What do you wish you’d done more of? This is a tough one. I generally do most things to the extreme.

15. What do you wish you’d done less of? Getting a hangover. Today's is a fucking dozey.

16. Did you fall in love in 2011? No, because I fell in love with Kathy on 2010.

17. What was your favorite new TV program? Rizzoli & Isles. It is a total rip of Crossing Jordan. It's set in Boston and uses very similar Irish music for its theme. While it's not just about the medical examiner (Although Isles is one) Rizzoli is a detective. Here's the real weird past. Angie Harmon plays Rizzoli and was in Law and Order after Jill Hennessy (who played Jordan). That all said, it's my favorite. A VERY close second is American Horror Story. It's Kathy's fave, and we're both really into it.

18. What was the best book you read? People still read books? Gees, who knew?

19. What one thing would have made your year measurably more satisfying? Giving up my bachelor ways. Don't get me wrong I miss those threesomes, but when you find the right person, one is plenty.

20. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2011? It's no longer bleak. But close.

21. What kept you sane? I know when to say no. Some ideas sound great at the conception, but upon further review are incredibly stupid.

22. Who did you miss? Miss September 1973. Where is that damn magazine?

23. Who was the best new person you met? I got nothing here. Talk amongst yourselves.

24. Tell us a valuable lesson you learned in 2011? That writing this blog should be treated a lot lighter. I used to publish it 6 days a week every week. Now other than Saturday 9 and Sunday Stealing, I just publish when I'm in the mood.

25. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year. “A long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than last.”

That's it for today on
WTIT: The Blog.
Enjoy your Sunday...
We will return.

Never a Shortage of Bad Ideas

2011-12-31T12:28:00.006-05:00

Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. Let's begin!

Saturday 9: Sam's Last Stand: 2011

1. Over all, how do you feel about what happened in your life in 2011? It was a mixed bag, but aren't most years? Medically, it sucked moose. Two operations, another five days in the hospital with something not related, was pure joy. We even had to celebrate Kathy's birthday in the hospital. On the other side, getting engaged and finding our dream house was as good as it gets. (Sorry, Allison.)

2. Do you do New Year's resolutions? If so, what are they this year? No. I think that you are better off picking a meaningful date (for you) to change or start something. Doing it so arbitrary usually produces zero results. Or is that just me?

From our 1970 photo shoot.

3. In the past 24 hours, I have reconnected with 3 old friends that I've not spoken to in years. If you could reconnect with someone from your past who would it be, and why? It probably would be a former friend who was a WTIT DJ. While someone may have left my life in say 1974, between their photos on the wall of yearly WTIT pictures or on a comedy bit I listen to, the seem still in my life. I miss the person they were, so I probably would not feel the same if a person were to appear after all these years anyway.

4. Do you have anything that you would have not done or done differently in 2011 as you look back? I would not have introduced Kathy to the French twins. While she really loved the ladies, she still thought my visits there weren't a great idea. Go figure.

5. Going back to my ex-friends that I reconnected with, one of them ended over a boyfriend. She called to apologize. Do you have someone that you fell out with you and wonder how they are? No. If I have “falling out”, it was about something important. So, I do not wonder or care in the slightest “how they are”.

6. If you had a chance to reconnect with an ex (say for coffee), who would it be, and why? Answering this question would almost be a good idea. Tempting, but no.

7. One of resolutions is about weight-loss. Have you ever struggled with your diet? I think the struggle with weight is rather universal. Although the weirdest thing that I ever went through was in 2003 when I had a staph infection. I lost so much weight that I was the same weight that I was in high school. I had to drink milk shakes (or frappes depending on where you live) twice a day, not to gain weight, but to stop the loss. If I were to do the same diet today, I'd weigh 400 pounds.

8. What do you think was the top news story of 2011? Globally, I'd pick the democracy revolutions in the Arab world. Domestically, I'll go with the horror and tragedy that occurred at Penn State.

9. What are your plans for (New Year's Eve) tonight? Kathy and I have nice quiet, romantic evening planned. I'll post the video. Wait, Kathy's yelling something. Oops, my bad. No video. Enjoy your New Year. We're back in 2012. We're back with Stealing.

We're glad that you stopped by.

We are getting pretty damn sick of not having those daily memes we so relied on for the last five years. First it was Thunks. Then DJ KathyA stopped R&R Fridays. The Wednesday Wickedness, poof! I thought we were saved with that Weds-Fri meme, WTF. Then she cried uncle. And finally it was Mayhem. So now what? We’re back to random stealing. This we grabbed from Kwizgiver. She swiped from Cat.

1. Did someone die in that last movie you watched? Kathy had never seen Daniel Craig as James Bond. The first film, Casino Royale, I thought was terrific. The second, Quantum of Silence made no sense to me what-so-ever. We watched the first on Saturday. It was a Bond film. Twelve people died before the opening credits.

2. Are the trees pretty colors outside for you now or at all? It's winter. Allison if you're gonna steal memes, steal them from the same time of year. I'm glad I got THAT off my chest.

3. Do your parents make/made you weed the garden? It was hard for my parents to make me do anything. You may not believe this, but I can be a bit stubborn.

4. When's the last time you video recorded something on TV? I Tivo daily. For my 260th birthday, Harvey Wallbanger (of course a fellow WTIT DJ) turned me on to The Big Bang Theory. I had never seen it. So I have years to catch up with.

5. How big is your memory chip? 2,849,648,333 TB. Give or take a GB.

6. What are your views on sunflowers? It depends on how tall they are.

7. What is your favorite incense scent? This is an oxymoron. Yech.

8. Caramel apples or candy apples? This is just plain fuctardian.

9. Have you ever tried one of those blue candy apples? Holy core Batman, again with the apples.

10. Would you ever or do you make your dog wear a bandanna? This assumes I have a fucking dog. Well, I do. He's a virtual dog, Happy. He hates it when I show this fucking picture.

11. Do you find dandelions when they're gone all white pretty? Don't you just hate it when you steal a meme because the first few questions were interesting and then it all goes south. No one said this blog was any good. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, No It's

2011-12-28T08:10:00.005-05:00

Curious as a Cat.: Number 303

1) Would you prefer to have your own swimming pool or your own airplane? Why? I'll go with swimming pool here. It's only because I'm from the planet Krypton so flying's no big deal.

2) Which items in your house do you think will bring in the most money at an antique store in a century? I'd guess only my record collection. It represents the best in rock from 1964 to 199? when they stopped making vinyl. It's interesting now how vinyl’s making a mini comeback. I have to admit that I've lost interest.

3) Do you shop around when you look for clothes or do you buy the first thing you like? I buy the first thing I like online. Stores are so 20th century.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My take: It's a Christmas gift from the Scarecrow from Oz. He can't give many out. Winter is a bitch of a time to find more straw.

Santa's Coming!

2011-12-20T08:44:00.009-05:00

Christmas Meme 7

Santa: How Does He Do It?

Google nixed removing the warning.

1. Get down the chimney? The big guy has to relax before the big day. So he attends a rather wild orgy with all the elves and such. The lubricants left over help him slide down the bricks.

2. Deliver presents all over the world? He's very fast. Even the elves call him “Quick Draw”.

3. Get so fat and still act so jolly? He's fat because Mrs. Claus still thinks a way to a man's heart is his stomach. He's jolly because the elves knows he does not think with his belly.

4. Recruit reindeer for sleigh-pulling lessons? Smirnoff.

So, I figured fuck Google.

5. Provide compensation for elves making toys? I assume he pays a fair wage and provides excellent medical benefits. We know about the benefits HE receives.

6. Stay unseen from the rest of the world? Unseen? You can't swing a dead cat without hiting him or one of his helpers. Unseen my ass.

Would It Still Be Christmas Without…

7. Candy canes? A lot less fucking sticky.

8. Snow? Snow blows.

9. Stores opening at 5am? This is SO 1990s. Amazon is open 24/7.

10. Winter vacation? Who the fuck can afford that? Oh, right. Congressmen and the 1%.

11. Visiting family & friends? Now that would suck moose!

12. Fake Santas? Helpers, my friend. Lots of fucking helpers. "Fake"? Pfft!

13. Christmas trees? After my second divorce I went a year without one. My (then) 12 year-old daughter Jules gave me a tiny one with little balls. (Sorry, AC/DC.) Each year she gave me lights, then snow and so forth. Then she stopped. God, I miss her.

14. New holiday movies? Nah. There's WAY too many classics like Debbie Does Santa.

15. Getting holiday greeting cards/email? The last card I sent was in...wait, I've never sent one. My ex-wives did. This year Kathy sent a ton. She writes an annual letter that besides a million other things, announced our engagement. Man, did MY cell ring off its proverbial hook!

16. Holiday tunes? As long as I hear John & Yoko's Happy Xmas (War is Over), I'm a happy guy.

So this is Christmas and what have you done?

Another year over and a new one just begun...

WTIT: The Blog will return

Making The World a Prettier Place

2011-12-19T08:19:00.007-05:00

Curious as a Cat.: Number 302

1) What is a good cure for insomnia? What do you usually do when you have insomnia? Isn't sleeping the cure? Seriously, I suffered insomnia until in my thirties when I was prescribe medication (not sleeping pills) for it. It's a God send.

2) Duct tape: love it or hate it? It has SO many great uses.

3) List the 5 worst pickup lines you've heard. 1) "You look just like Mel Gibson." (Back before we knew him so well.) 2) "Wanna go have sex?" (Come to think of it, that one worked). 3) "Would Bud have children with Dawn?" (Yes, she spoke in the third person.) 4) "Wanna come to my place and see my Chia pet?" 5) "I don't usually ask this but..." (Whatever comes next will be something they ask every night out. And three times that night before you.)

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My Take: Do I look like Leonard or Sheldon? Ask them.

Wanted: More Meme Authors

2011-12-18T11:59:00.001-05:00

1. As a blogger, what do you draw inspirations from for your posts? Originally, this blog was set up to tell the stories of a group of friends that started WTIT Tape Radio at age 15 in 1967. Since WTIT lasted throughout our lives, the tales of girlfriends, prom dates, school, college, marriages, children and now divorces, remarriages and grandchildren. While the cast has changes throughout the years, the point was these guys were my best friends. Our 2011 photo was taken at my 260th birthday party and it included both current and past WTIT DJs. However, after I told all the stories, we morphed into a meme blog where I can stretch my comedy writing legs.

2. If you could swap blogs with another blogger for a post, who would you switch with and why? Only with another Tape Radio blog. And while I've found evidence of many Tape Radio stations (even two called WTIT) most last less than a year and were a college thing.

3. If your blog had a theme song, what would it be? Why? The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy. I always love to open a Tape Radio show with it when it had been a long time between recording sessions.

4. What is your writing process for a post? Now, I answer meme question. They post, I respond.

5. Your blog requires a cute, new, mascot - what would it be? Judd Corizan. He a multifunctional avatar.

6. Do you feel you express your "true self" on your blog? Oh yes. The “Bud Weiser” character is an exaggeration of me, but it's close. The biggest difference is the morality. In real life, I am a much more honorable man than the guy I play here.

7. What is your biggest online pet-peeve? The use of BOTH word verification and author approval. I find either irritating. But if you are doing moderation, why must I fucking type the letters? It's redundancy in its purist form.

8. If you could live in a fictional universe, where would you live? Why? Star Trek. Gene Roddenberry's take on the future is incredibly optimistic.

9. You're having a bad day, you're upset, you're angry, or you're sad - what is your go-to comfort? Smirnoff on the rocks.

10. What is your favorite inspirational quote? “No problem is too big, too complicated or too complex that it can't be run away from.” I used it as my sign off during my entire broadcast career, but it started around 1968 on WTIT.

11. If they were to make a movie based on your life, who would play you, your leading lady/man, your best friend, and your rival? Not that I look anything like him, but George Clooney persona is similar to me. Brad Pitt plays so well off him, he's be whichever “best friend” was being portrayed. Charlize Theron would play Kathy (she chose it) and I really don't have rivals. But Mel Gibson could play the bad, bigoted asshole.

12. Do you think the world is going to end in 2012? Really, Tom? You're giving those nut jobs even this much credit. I and my fiancée are buying a house next month in 2012 and we will be getting married in the fall. That's reality.

13. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? I would be more humble. But when you are as great as I am, it's hard to be humble.

14. What is your favorite season and why? Summertime cuz the living is easy.

15. You've been bitten by a vampire. Would you fight it with all your undead being or would you embrace it for all it is worth? I'll throw this in with the end of the world question. I watch the Twilight films, but I don't live in them.

16. Have you personally met any of your blogger friends? Yes. My favorite is my “sis” Jodi from the blog Moody Blue. I've met others, some even took relationship twists. But other than the one I call The Dragon Lady, everyone I've met has been great.

17. What does your favorite pair of underwear look like? Underwear.

18. Have you ever drank something right from the container in the refrigerator knowing other people will have to drink out of the same container later? Not intentionally. But I lived alone for a great deal of my life so shit happens.

19. What is your favorite word and explain why? Gongerling. It can mean whatever I want it to since I made the word up and used it in many a WTIT comedy bit.

20. 2011 is soon coming to a close, is there anything you'd like to do different on your blog in the year 2012? I think this blog and blogs in generally are moving to extinction. People seem to get more into the quickness of social media and I've followed suit. Also, since what I do is answer memes and so many have been discontinued I'm losing interest. I've tried to launch many meme blogs and most were very successful. But ultimately they were too much work. I'm cool with writing Saturday 9 and Stealing, but it ends there. I do have turn key meme blogs ready to go, but I've not actively looked for authors. Again, it's too much work.

That's it for today on

Her Mommy's on Facebook

2011-12-17T10:00:00.006-05:00

1. What in the 2011 has proved to you that you are a survivor? 2011 certainly handed me challenges in both my health and personal life. Two major surgeries to correct damage from a February 2010 fall were successful. The hard part was that it took a year and a half and two separate doctors to get me better. The successful outcomes in better have left me soon to be a homeowner and a husband in 2012. I had to give up the French twins, however. They said, “You didn't stop our threesomes when you were with The Dragon Lady, what's different?”

2. Have you ever stayed online for a very long time waiting for someone? No. If someone is that important, and you do not have another way of communicating, what are you doing exactly? And if one or both of you are married, then its both stupid and sophomoric.

3. Are REALLY ready for the holidays? Can you ever be sure until New Years? You never know what's coming. No, I did NOT mean it that way. Can't you see how I'm fucking cleaning up my act now that I have a fiancée. Okay, I can't clean up my act. She knows it. Shit the twins just texted me. I'm going over. What's one more slight diversion?

4. Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid? No, but I was a lot of children's imaginary friend.

5. What niche network do you watch the most? Animal Planet and NatGeo. I'm hooked on animal shows. My dad and I watched shows like Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom when I was growing up.

6. Have you ever seen the ocean? Yes, but has it ever seen me? Ah, there's the rub. (I know I'm not making a great deal of sense. But this is a comedy blog and I'm not particularly funny today.)

7. Have you ever been hospitalized? Nah, I've lied about nine spine surgeries.

8. What do you think of the US Republican candidates for president? I think this field is terrific. Could they be a funnier bunch of complete liars and morons? Don't get me wrong, I hate what Obama has become. I voted for a liberal and got George W. Bush's third term. I have written in this space that Obama could only be reelected if Palin was nominated. Now I think only Mitt Romney could beat him. But the wackos in the Tea Party should ensure Obama's second term.

9. Could you imagine life without a computer? I remember it. Life was totally different. But returning to that? No, I cannot imagine that. We're back with Stealing.

We're glad that you stopped by.
Enjoy your weekend.

This Bud's For You

2011-12-13T07:40:00.004-05:00

Curious as a Cat.: Number 301

1) What do you usually want to know about someone when meeting them for the first time? Why is this information intriguing to you? You've got to know whether or not they are fucktardian. It also helps if they don't listen to country music. My fiancée will throw things when a country tune comes on the radio. I'm slightly better. I just yell and scream, running into the night.

2) What season causes you the most health problems? At the beginning of every season I get allergies of one sort or other. Most things that concern my health are constant. I've had 9 major surgeries, all on my spine. I'm hoping I'm done. I've got a lot of great things coming up in 2012. A new house and a bride are looming. I couldn't be happier. On a related note: When are they going to cure the common hangover?

3) Do you still own any articles of clothing from your school years? Do you ever wear it/them? Bwahahahaaha. I'm 260, so no. I so wish I had my Budweiser sports coat. We had to wear jackets and ties at my school. I got sent to the headmaster over the fucking jacket. But, I loved it. Although, since it would never fit, it really doesn't matter.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My take: War of the Roses. Anyone who has gone through divorce knows how true the story in that movie was. Except for the ending. SPOILER ALERT: People general don't die together during a divorce. It just feels like it.

I Wanna Wake Up Where You Are

2011-12-11T11:49:00.007-05:00

Welcome again to S t e al i ng which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd and the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this off a from a a blogger and blog called BlueLifeMemories. It's long so we will do it in two parts. She states she stole it from a friend, but did not say which friend. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Let's go!

Sunday Stealing: The Blue Memory Meme, Part 2

26) Are you happy with the person you've become? Nope. I'd be happier if the person I've become had won Powerball.

27) What's a sound you hate; sound you love? I hate upstairs neighbors making noise. (Although, since we are buying a house in January, all good things come to an end.) Music is the sound that I love.

28) What's your biggest "what if"? It would have to be about the age that I originally got married and the person that I chose.

29) Do you believe in ghosts? I believe in Ghostbusters.

30) How about aliens? Phone home.

31) What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far? Asking Kathy to marry me. Fortunately, she said “yes”.

32) What's the worst place you have ever been to? The Catholic Church.

33) Can insanity bring on more creativity? I know we've got quite a following for Stealing, but the insane? I'm afraid I haven't a reference point or even a clue what the right answer is to this totally fucktardian question.

Shockingly, Kathy suggested that I remove it.

34) Most attractive actor of your opposite gender? Jill Hennessy.

35) To you, what is the meaning of life? It's having your team make the playoffs.

36) Define “Art”. Fuck off.

37) Do you believe in luck? No. I particularly HATE the expression that you make your own luck. Bad things happen to good people. There's no luck involved.

38) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship? And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.

39) What's a song that always makes you happy when you hear it? Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls.

40) Where were you yesterday? Searching in vain for the beams from the Word Trade Center that are in my town. Today we actually looked up the location. Who woulda thought of that?

41) What's the worst injury you've ever had? I had a staph infection in 2003. I nearly didn't make it. It was so weird for that to be the elephant in the room.

42) Do you have any obsessions right now? Just my fiancée Kathy.

43) What's up? What's down? Your turn.

44) Ever had a rumor spread about you? I had an ex who wrote a letter from facebook as a man warning Kathy about me. I think she was fucking shocked when Kathy wrote back stating she knew who this dragon lady was. That prompted a five page response of denial. The response only confirmed who sent it.

45) Do you believe in real magic? No. I believe in sex, drugs and rock 'n roll.

46) Do you ever hold grudges against people who have done you wrong? Only if the offense is total betrayal. Otherwise, I'm pretty even going.

47) What's your favorite (non-pet) animal? Lions.

48) What is your secret weapon to get people to like you? Why in the world would I share my super powers?

Johnnie, Gary, Bud, Harvey & Cos.

49) Where is your best friend? I have several. My BFF from high school and college (WTIT co-founder) Galloping Gary lives in D.C. He and his wife SHOCKED me when they showed up at my 260th birthday. My BFF in adult life, Harvey Wallbanger, lives in Atlanta. My BFF throughout my entire life, Johnnie Walker, lives in Connecticut. Unfortunately, he lives over an hour away.

50) What do you think is Satan's last name? Gingrich.

Getting Married

2011-12-10T09:11:00.002-05:00

1. Who or what bores you enough to mentally drift away? Oh right, saying who bores me on the internet is almost a great idea! Training sessions come to mind, but yesterday we had one at work that was quite helpful. So, you never know.

2. How many members of your family not living with you do you see on during the holidays? Everyone but the ones I won't be seeing.

3. When spending time with family, how long after you arrive do you begin to feel "antsy" about being there too long? It can happen on the drive there.

4. Does your family more generally get along at a holiday gathering or are there generally arguments? There has yet to be a documented murder.

My family at my 260th birthday bash.

Are you ever embarrassed by your family around friends? How close a friend?

6. Of the celebrities that died in 2011, who will you miss the most? Harry Morgan. Colonel Potter is riding his horse in the Great Beyond.

7. When you watch a movie in a movie theater, do you like the theater filled to capacity, halfway full, or nearly empty? Does your answer change depending on the type of movie you're seeing or do you feel the same way regardless of the movie or genre? I once went alone to a movie during the week at noon. I was the only person in the theater. Now that was something! I felt like Elvis.

With my Fiancée Kathy.

8. What’s one really cool/useful/nice thing you purchased for yourself this year? The WTIT recording and mix board was the best toy that I bought. An engagement ring was the most important. But, of course I won't be wearing it. Oh, haven't I mentioned this? I'm getting married. Yes, I know what I've said in this space. So, sue me. Kathy and I also bought a house. It's been a busy week.

9. Are you in the holiday spirit yet? Not really. The aforementioned engagement and house purchase have sorta has taken up my brain. We're back with Stealing.

We're glad that you stopped by.

The Usual Suspects

2011-12-04T20:40:00.006-05:00

Welcome again to S t e al i ng which we bring you weekly on The WTIT Blog. We have gotten really good at just stealing a meme from someone else’s post. (You can play meme with Judd and the official Sunday Stealing meme.) Today we ripped this off a from a a blogger and blog called BlueLifeMemories. It's long so we will do it in two parts. She states she stole it from a friend, but did not say which friend. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Let's go!

Sunday Stealing: The Blue Memory Meme, Part 1

1) If the whole world were listening to you right now, what would you say? “All we are saying is give peace a chance.”

2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be? Paul McCartney. I know, you are sensing a pattern.

3) You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now. Where are you gonna go? San Diego to visit me son James. He's the song writer and guitar master in the band So Long Davey. Check out their cover of Idol's White Wedding. He's lived there for 6 years and I've yet to go...

4) What do you think about most? Sex. I know I'm a guy and this is a cliché, but it is the truth.

5) You have the opportunity to spend a romantic night with the music celebrity of your choice. Who would it be? Jill Hennessy. I know she's an actress, but she has a hit CD Ghost in My Head. So, she does count.

6) You can erase any horrible experience from your past. What will it be? Marriages come to mind.

7) What's your strangest talent? X-ray vision. Hey! It's time for you to get new underwear!

8) What would be a question you'd be afraid to tell the truth on? Nothing that I care to share in a fucking meme.

9) Ever had a poem or song written about you? Nope. But I have written the lyrics to two songs. They will be hits. Someday...

10) When is the last time you played the air guitar? I'm doing it now!

11) Do you have any strange phobias? Nope, just the usual suspects.

12) What's your religion? None of the above. I think it's a lot more important being the best person you can be to benefit friends and family. I don't waste a second wondering what some god would want me to do. I mean for real, a southern minister barred interracial couple from singing in church. Of course he was removed, but can you believe the ignorance? Imagine no religion, it's easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky.

Standing: Johnnie, Gary, Harvey & Cos. Kneeling: Bud

3) What is your current desktop picture? WTIT's 2011 picture.

14) When you are outside, what are you most likely doing? Threesomes.

15) What's the last song you listened to? He's Not Heavy/You've Got a Friend by The Persuasions. THE best soul acapella band ever.

16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band? The Beatles. There is no other choice if you know the slightest bit about rock 'n roll. That's not fair. But you gotta know that everything that has come since The Beatles has been influenced by the boys from Liverpool.

17) What was the last lie you told? “The check is in the mail.” I know that you expected “I won't...in your...” but I'm changing my ways.

18) Do you believe in karma? Instant Karma's gonna get you. So, yes. I think.

19) What is a saying you say a lot? “Wanna do it again?”

20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength? My limitations due to 9 spine surgeries are my weakness. Being a good friend, dad and lover is my strength.

21) Who is your celebrity crush? Hi Jill! Twice in the same fucking meme! (Love the hat.)

22) How do you vent your anger? I really can be a pain in the ass. I'm a work in progress still, after all these years.

23) Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word: heart. Medications. Lots of medications.

24) Do you have a collection of anything? I have every Star Trek novel from after the cancellation of the original series until the start of The Next Generation. I am most proud of my LP collection.

25) What is your favorite word? Gongerling. It means a ton of things.

1. “Everybody lies. But it's alright because nobody listens.” is one of Bud's Law's. What do you lie about? I always mention the French twins who live upstairs and the nights I spend with them. It's a lie. They are German.

2. When you purchase a DVD, what besides the the movie itself, what do you enjoy the most? Is it the director's commentary, the deleted scenes, the bloopers or the behind-the-scenes documentary? Why anyone would care about this is totally beyond me. Blow me.

3. What would you most like to accomplish before the year is over? Perhaps some shopping. 'Tis the season to get poor.

4. What is your current percentage of online shopping? Is it going to be more this year than last? Since all I do is online shopping, I'd say it'll be about the same.

5. What's left to do at your place (or where you are going)? Is the tree up? ...or maybe you're just happy you found that fave Christmas coffee mug and are calling that good? It's only the fucking 3rd of December. Everything is left to do.

6. If you could get worry free, cost free plastic surgery, would you? If yes, where? No. We are perfect as we are. Or at least I am.

WTIT last month.

7. Do you think the child you were growing up, would like the adult you've become? I know I'd be shocked that WTIT lasted nearly 45 years. I didn't think it would last 45 days.

8. What will you miss about 2011? Gee, two major surgeries and an unrelated week in the hospital. I don't think I'll miss 2011.

9. What is something you'd love to see invented? Spine duplication from stem cells. After 9 surgeries, I need a new one. We're back with Stealing.

We're glad that you stopped by.
Enjoy your weekend.
WTIT: The Blog will return tomorrow

Red Rover and the Land Rover

Curious as a Cat.: Number 299

1) Have you ever been outside in a blizzard? I live in New England. I've been outside in a ton of them. My favorite blizzard story happened when I lived in the Boston area. My car ran out of gas in a blizzard on the Mass Pike. A stranger stopped, drove me to a gas station. He insisted on paying the tolls. When I offered him a $20, he refused. He simply said, “Pay it forward...” which I've done many times.

2) Front porch or back deck? Kathy and I are house hunting. I'm more into decks, but she likes front porches. But, it's not a big deal. She needs a kitchen that she'll love, and I want a great new WTIT Studio.

3) If Disney opened a theme park aimed primarily at adults, what would you name one of the rides? Explain. It would be called Doing Disney and would be in Nevada for obvious reasons.

4) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

My take: Our Martian land rover has just proved there's life on Mars. Who knew?

The WTIT Blog shall return.
We are never gonna
