anything cool going on Friday March 19th in GR/ Kalamazoo?

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:01:11 +0000

I'll be in town that weekend and have a little free time friday afternoon before I have to set up that evening. We used to go to the fishing/ hunting/ camping expo, but last year were disappointed to find it was mostly fishing, no camping or hunting to speak of. So maybe something different this year. Let me know if you can think of anything fun and cheap. thanks!

btw if anyone wants to go to the living history show heres the website http://www.kalamazooshow.com/

Is JT really that stupid ? (Poll)

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:14:48 +0000

So JT had the Hooters girls in the studio again today, and they were promoting their 8.99 crab leg special, and he said something to the effect of...

"cracking legs open, with juices dripping and I had my meat out"

so, a this point I have to wonder, after the Massive as kicking he got about the Victoria's Secret chick and her roommate, and the time that the Hooters girls were in studio last week, is he making these awful comments on purpose or is he just really stupid ?

Auto Show

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 17:17:44 +0000

Anybody going? I went the first year and haven't been back since. I'm thinking, though, of going Friday right after work, seeing as how I work within a couple blocks of it.

I'm sure Hotwings will be caught having some "alone time" in one of the bathrooms located near the GM display.

How about bowling?

Zane Vs Commercials

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:55:07 +0000

If you're a Grand Rapids live listener, be sure to stick around and listen to the 95.7 W-lite commercial for Christmas music. Zane's new hobby is button mashing during the songs, which I wholeheartedly approve of, since it's not even Thanksgiving yet. There's nothing better than hearing vomit noises, 'fudgepacker', and 'whore!' over a horrible commercial.

The show at Wendy's

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:28:35 +0000

So, the guys are going to be at the Michigan St. Wendy's, and the Byron Center Wendy's on Friday from Noon to 1pm to help out with the Change A Child's Life campaign. Hot Wings and Joe will be on Michigan Street with Vanetta the kickass manager, and Zane and Free Beer will be at the Byron Center/Metro Health Wendy's. I'm pretty sure this is a call for photos of the guys mopping the floors again.

Swan Dive off of a parking structure

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:14:13 +0000

My wife works downtown and was working late last night. She wasn't going to see our daughter before she went to bed so I decided to take her downtown to see her at least once for the day. We ended up taking Division north into town and turned on Weston to get to Commerce. As I was going to turn onto Weston a First Responder turned in front of me and then turned Right on Commerce just as I was doing. Well he stopped at the corner of Cherry and Commerce where a large group of people were standing and you can tell when something bad has happened because most of the women were standing there with tears in their eyes and their hands over their mouths. I proceeded past the cop cars which were in the lane of oncoming traffic and went very slowly past them.

As I passed I saw a young girl in a mostly yellow outfit, wearing a pink backpack, lying face down on the pavement and everyone gathered around her with EMT's advancing on her. There was no sign that she was struck by a car, so I had to assume that she had fallen ill or had fallen from a height. I proceeded to my wifes place of work and went inside. I told her that something bad had happened by the parking structure and then went on about my business of letting my daughter play with her Mom for a little bit for the evening.

As I left I noticed that they were shutting down Commerce between Oakes and Cherry and there was a yellow tarp on the ground. I went home and stopped at the neighbor's house to visit and was telling him about the girl on the ground and just said, "it looked like she jumped." As I got done saying "jumped" my wife calls and confirms that it was in fact a suicide. I am still a bit haunted by it even though I didn't witness it first-hand. Both the college and the Aveda institute were departing classes at the time and a lot of people were there to witness it.

I can't imagine what her family must be going through right now but I have them in my thoughts. I understand that EMT's, police and other emergency personell have been through something like that but I can't imagine if you actually witnessed it. It broke my heart to just drive by it. Sad, very sad.

WHO IS IN, BITCHES?

Pockface is pizzed!

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:30:51 +0000

One of my employees happens to have the huge show on his radio right now and ole' pock face is pretty up in arms about FB&HW! He keeps trying to make comments about changing the name of his show to a "food and beverage" so he can keep his ratings high. If it wasn't so funny to hear him try to fire back at the guys with the "I'm rubber, you're glue" defense, I might just think he was pathetic. Oh wait, nevermind I do think he's pathetic.

I hope everyone is well, been gone for a while.
