2004feb23. Phone conversation.
THEM: “Hello, I’m Unimportant Name from Tucson Radio Annoying Phone Intrusion Products GmbH and I’d like to take this time to conduct a small thirty-second poll with you concerning your daily radio choices. Which radio station do you listen to primarily during the day?”That was less than thirty seconds, perhaps I should ask for my money back. In other news, we macheted the last of the eight-foot tall dying prickly pear down for the Javelinas, who are still naughty smelly pigs but I figured since they started eating birdseed at 4am the other day they were a little low on foodstuffs. But that’s the last of it, you stinky porkers. Sort of like a good-bye treat. The machete goes clean through a prickly pear like it’s paper. It’s kind of scary. Scarier: gas-powered machete.NOT THEM: “Yes, I find myself listening these days mostly to WOFF FM, which broadcasts twenty-four hours of continuous silence. Less talk, less rock, W O F F.”
