Does the happy dance Okay I'll have to schedule you soon cause you are a bit late. So was the Three day weekend fun? As for Violent thunderstorms We got hella winds up where I am and lost a tree. Somehow though didn't hit any part of my fence or the house it fell perfect. Now I just have to cut up the fallen tree and set up my fire pit woowoo. That and get the Hot Tub going Woowoo. Though that's gonna cost me no clue how bad yet but i will get my hot tub going.
OH yeah back to the topic. If you ask SS then it's probably Whitey and crew trying to keep the black man down. As far as I'm concerned I think it's a mix of 50 somethings along witha smattering of 5th graders.

My 3 day weekend was fun...I did behave at the bar sat and stayed away from the crown royal and just stuck with beer.

Did u get that ac fixed?? I hope so--my brother in law owns a heating and ac company. Yeah the bar was pretty wild..we owned it as usual.

<quoted text>Oh your so funny with the buddy check 12 comment. I'd rather u do it then Jeannie Blaylock worrying about it. BTW, who does figure out if a story is worthy or not?? Just my opinion they r doing a very bad job. And I think the weather dept is a joke..I luv how bad Tim exaggerates...He says violent thunderstorms and 1-3 inches of rain and we get a trace of rain and a breeze...What a joke!

Blame it on Marty Van Housen

I wouldn't know...you never emailed me to tell me where you would be. So instead, my weekend sucked.

I'm sorry..please forgive me. I don't have a computer (yes I live in the dark ages) and I couldnt find anyone I knew that had one that was home. I'll give u a hint where I go..Whats the opposite of fantasy???Hit me back if u figure it out...

1. It has briefly touched upon, "Chef" Robert?? What the hell is that? This guy must have pictures of Winn Dixie or FCN execs with a tranny or something.. He looks like a homeless dude after an all-nighter..you can practically smell the wiskey coming through his pores and into your TV set. The food he puts together is on the level of an unsupervised 5yr old with ADD. He takes a bunch of jar foods and condiments and mixes them together and passes it off as work of a "chef"??!! WTF!

2.Kyle Meenan. How much they pay this guy? Obviously not enough to buy a new jacket in the past 25 years. He wears a Member's Only Jacket on all his remote broadcasts. How embarassing! I want to start a Kyle Meenan jacket fund drive. Just because Knight Rider came back briefly on TV does not mean you can wear Hasselhoff's jacket. Poor bastard.

3.Get Deegan JR.(Mark Collins) outa there. I would miss his unintentional Spicoli impersonation a little though. Dude needs to just go back to his van ie.house, hit the bong, and surf. Stick with what you do best bra.

LOL...thanks for a great laugh today.

In a word.... PROOFREAD.

Why so many mispelled words in the captions during newscasts? Why so many captions that don't match the videos? Happens every day, sometimes on more than one newscast. It's like the folks in the control room are asleep! Inexcusable for a professional organization.

They should do the 5-6 kinda like the Today show, sit around on couches and discuss what ever topics they want, such as Ken Amaro's spot, First Coast Trends, and other lifestyle spots, and then report the real news at 6. And why do they switch anchors every 30 minutes? Poor Phil Amato is on at 5am and then he is back on at 5:30 pm for 30 minutes. Is it too much for Shannon Ogden and Jeannie Blaylock to stay on for and hour and a half?

Does this include tangents and inuendos. I can deal with that but if sTURDivant's rants get put in I may have to boycott the news then. Other then that You two would be a two hour show. Then toss in Scott1 and there's another hour. Though you all would be more informative then the current news.

Oh yeah toss in a page five girl type spot and it might get better too

Did you seriously just suggest that these dolts ad-lib for 30min/day? OMG

Maybe you are onto something. There would be some entertainment value to this possibly..watching them squirm and sweat profusely as they stumble over there "uhs" and deer in the headlights blank stares into the cameras. Let's not confuse these telepromptor regurgitators for critical thinkers..

Yeah, I'll do gay entertainment and you can discuss your Knees and the problems you have with them.
