One more: Vice vs Versus. These two words are NOT interchangable.

Technically speaking DK, you'd only reach down to MAYBE 73Hz, then experience a sharp rolloff in output. Gee, that's not much bass at all. Perhaps you're speaking in B-O-S-E?

 

[Tim Stumpf]

DK, you could always try to lower your tuning point by plugging one of your ports!! I made myself laugh that is so bad.

Ain't nobody going to be plugging any of my ports!!!!



Maybe if I ate a lot and increased my internal volume?

 

[MikeNg]

Man, that was a good one.



I think there's bad WAF there all around...

 

[MikeHU]

Q. What do you call a bass player on the front porch?

A. The pizza delivery guy



Yes folks, that's "Bass Talk"

Bob and Tom are now syndicated on a local Atlanta rock station (96 Rock). That is, quite possibly, the worst radio show I've ever heard in my life. They're just all wrong for the Atlanta market. They don't come across the least bit genuine. You can tell they have their fake radio voices, laughing at their own rediculous jokes, etc. I mean, they're even worst than the Steve and Vicki idiots on the generic pop/rock station down the dial.



Sorry, but I just had to vent a little bit. Ten minutes of those guys causes me to ponder whether it would be better to put a bullet in my head or drive my car off a cliff!

Definitely drive off a cliff. At least that way you could yell "WEE" on the way down. There is no "WEE" between bang and splat.

 

[MikeHU]

Since you brought it up, Brian, I always wondered how they were viewed in other markets. They have been around here for almost 20 years, and we have kind-of grown up with them - fake voices and all. Seems like we get a lot of local chatter and I am assuming it is cut for your market.

They are pretty much local celebs and very popular around here. Oh well, guess you can't be all thinks to all people. The local format is classic rock - something that is sorely missing in this area, but they do a decent job with it. All I can say is thank goodness for cd's, i-pods and what about sat radio?

While playing the blue man group I blew the fuse of the sub which made me feel blue, while eating a sub looking at a picture of a sub drinking a pitcher of beer while watching Pedro the pitcher throw the ball before getting dressed for the ball while the chef dressed the turkey.



We were having a ball at the ball as the speaker started and I notice the speaker I was leaning again was a very common brand unlike the brand on the steer I had to steer around while we rode on the road to the ball.



while the wind blew we noticed the blue flag was flapping in the wind. As the wind blew, the blue flag began to wind itself around the pole while we compared to the results of th e poll on who would win the pole position of the start of the Indy 500.



I could not help myself so I decided to write a comment on the comment right above this comment

And for those of you who THINK you've got a handle on the English language, try this one on for size...



An English Shibboleth



Dearest creature in creation,

Study English pronunciation.

I will teach you in my verse

Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.

I will keep you, Suzy, busy,

Make your head with heat grow dizzy.

Tear in eye, your dress will tear.

So shall I!! ! Oh hear my prayer.



Just compare heart, beard, and heard,

Dies and diet, lord and word,

Sword and sward, retain and Britain.

(Mind the latter, how it's written.)

Now I surely will not plague you

With such words as plaque and ague.

But be careful how you speak:

Say break and steak, but bleak and streak;

Cloven, oven, how and low,

Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe.



Hear me say, devoid of trickery,

Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore,

Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles,

Exiles, similes, and reviles;

Scholar, vicar, and cigar,

Solar, mica, war and far;

One, anemone, Balmoral,

Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel;

Gertrude, German, wind and mind,

Scene, Melpomene, mankind.



Billet does not rhyme with ballet,

Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.

Blood and flood are not like food,

Nor is mould like should and would.

Viscous, viscount, load and broad,

Toward, to forward, to reward.

And your pronunciation's OK

When you correctly say croquet,

Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,

Friend and fiend, alive and live.

Ivy, privy, famous; clamour

And enamour rhyme with hammer.

River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb,

Doll and roll and some and home.

Stranger does not rhyme with anger,

Neither does devour with clangour.

Souls but foul, haunt but aunt,

Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant,

Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger,

And then singer, ginger, linger,

Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge,

Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age.



Query does not rhyme with very,

Nor does fury sound like bury.

Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth.

Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath.

Though the differences seem little,

We say actual but victual.

Refer does not rhyme with deafer.

Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer.

Mint, pint, senate and sedate;

Dull, bull, and George ate late.



Scenic, Arabic, Pacific,

Science, conscience, scientific.

Liberty, library, heave and heaven,

Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven.

We say hallowed, but allowed,

People, leopard, towed, but vowed.

Mark the differences, moreover,

Between mover, cover, clover;

Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,

Chalice, but police and lice;

Camel, constable, unstable,

Principle, disciple, label.



Petal, panel, and canal,

Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal.

Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,

Senator, spectator, mayor.

Tour, but our and succour, four.

Gas, alas, and Arkansas.

Sea, idea, Korea, area,

Psalm, Maria, but malaria.

Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean.

Doctrine, turpentine, marine.



Compare alien with Italian,

Dandelion and battalion.

Sally with ally, yea, ye,

Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key.

Say aver, but ever, fever,

Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver.

H! ! eron, granary, canary.

Crevice and device and aerie.



Face, but preface, not efface.

Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.

Large, but target, gin, give, verging,

Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging.

Ear, but earn and wear and tear

Do not rhyme with here but ere.

Seven is right, but so is even,

Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen,

Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk,

Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work.



Pronunciation -- think of Psyche!

Is a paling stout and spikey?

Won't it make you lose your wits,

Writing groats and saying grits?

It's a dark abyss or tunnel:

Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale,

Islington and Isle of Wight,

Housewife, verdict and indict.



Finally, which rhymes with enough --

Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough?

Hiccough has the sound of cup.

My advice is to give up!!!

Jon W.,



Thanks, that was hilarious!

MikeHU,



I guess I've gotten used to the morning DJ's I've been listening to for the last 11 years. They are just themselves, no fake voices or anything. They have almost become a bit of an extended family to the folks that have been around for a while. Funny thing is, I imagine that it's similar to how Bob and Tom are viewed up there.



Also, 96 Rock is a bit of a classic rock station. They play a lot of new stuff, but the staples are still Zepplin, Floyd, Skynard (we are in the South after all), etc.

 

[MikeHU]

Can never get enough Skynard

 

[Joey M]

MikeNg,



I think query does rhyme with very.



Joe M.

 

[MikeNg]

Joey M,



Actually, it doesn't.



Query is pronounced with the 'e' sounding like the 'i' in 'pit'.



Very is pronounced with the 'e' sounding like the 'e' in 'pet'.



Pit and pet very well don't rhyme.
