My Rock 105.3 FM San Diego Experience
Today I was invited down to Rock 105.3 FM radio station to hang out with the cast of the talk morning show called, “The Show” I will do my very best to share my entire experience with you. I must say that this was an awesome experience to be a “P1,” which I found out means priority 1 or preset 1 on the radio dial. I must be the biggest P1 of The Show. The cast of the iheart radio talk show are Eddie, Thor, Ashlee, and Sky. I will give a step by step account of what happened and then at the end I will do a final write up to share my overall experience.
Best Wednesday Ever!
This morning I was driving to work and listening to The Show on Rock 105.3 FM. One of the topics that was being talked about was the California sever drought going on right now. I attempted to call into the Show and all I kept getting was a busy signal. So I decided to write an e-mail to share my comments and I sent it to Eddie, Sky, Ashlee, and Thor from the show. Here is my e-mail and what I wrote,
“I tried calling, however I keep getting the busy signal. It is a fact that all streams and rivers eventually lead to the ocean. Us, as humans, are consuming the water faster than the water cycle is putting it back into the ground. Our only options are to either slow it down before it gets to the ocean, ie. dams, levies, etc. or reclaim the water back from the ocean ie. desalinization. It is really difficult to take the water issue seriously when everyday I drive past ocean beach on my way to work and I see the San Diego river right there and I don’t see any dam stopping the water. That is a huge freshwater source right there. That is not the only river. Up near Del Mar fairgrounds there is the San Dieguito river. They don’t even need to spend millions of dollars building a concrete dam like you would see on the Hoover dam. Just use the same techniques as they used in Dubai and suck dirt off the bottom of the ocean and let it build up to create a dam. These are not difficult concepts and when I see the state of California choosing to do nothing and to tell me to take shorter showers, don’t wash my car, don’t water plants, etc. I just can’t take them seriously. It’s ridiculous.
Thanks for listening to me and I’ll keep doing the same to you.”
Not too long after I sent my e-mail in, I got a response back from Thor that said, “Hey I’m right there with ya Dave!”
I couldn’t believe it. I really didn’t expect them to write me back. After all, who am I? A little while longer I got an e-mail from Ashlee that said, “So crazy! Ugh. Just unreal!”
Holy crap! I really couldn’t believe it. Now Ashlee just replied back to me? I had to reply back to her and tell her how much I enjoy the show. So I tried to be cool and I just replied back and said, “Wow! Thanks for replying back. Love you on The Show. You’re the greatest. Mad love.”
Would you believe that she replied back to me again? I certainly wouldn’t have believed it and I’m still in shock. She actually replied back again and said, “aw thank you! Mad love right back at ya;))))”
At this point I couldn’t keep my cool. I’m so excited that I replied back one last time and said, “You’re the greatest! Thank you for making this the best Wednesday ever!!!!!!!”
Well, this event just boosted my spirits and because of my lack of knowledge of big events that have taken place on Wednesday, this is my personal best Wednesday ever! I’ve got to get back to work, but I’m definitely a lot happier. Rock 105.3 FM rocks!
Blizzard Entertainment
A couple of months ago, I decided to go for a drive and I made my way over to Irvine, California. While there I stopped at Blizzard Way and took some photos of Blizzard HQ. Here are my photos from that.
For the horde!
Minnesotan Hunter
Lyle was hunting geese up in the Minnesota woods. He leaned the old 16 gauge against the corner of the blind to take a leak. As luck would have it, his foolish dog Ginger knocked the gun over, it went off and Ole took most of an ounce of #4 in the groin. Several hours later, lying in a Duluth hospital bed, he came to and there was his doctor, Sven.
“Vell Lyle , I got some good news and some bad news. Da good news is dat you are going to be OK. Da damagevas local to your groin, dere was very little internal damage, and Ivas able to remove all of da buckshot.
“What’s the bad news?”, asks Lyle.
“The bad news is dat dere vas some pretty extensive buckshot damage done to your pecker. I’m going to have to refer you to my sister,Lena .”
“Well, I guess that isn’t too bad,” says Lyle . “Is your sister a plastic surgeon?”
“Not exactly,” Sven says. “She’s a flute player in da Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. And because all you have is Obamacare, she’s going to teach you vhere to put your fingers, so you don’t piss in your eye.
My Favorite Animal
Our teacher asked what my favorite animal was, and I said, “Fried chicken.”
She said I wasn’t funny, but she couldn’t have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.
I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.
He said they love animals very much.
I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal’s office.
I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.
I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.
She sent me back to the principal’s office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.
I don’t understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn’t like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, “Colonel Sanders.”
Guess where I am now…
Spice It Up
A frustrated wife buys a pair of crotchless panties in an attempt to spice up her dead sex-life. She puts them on, together with a short skirt and sits on the sofa opposite her husband sipping a glass of wine.
At strategic moments she uncrosses her legs wide enough that her husband asks, “Are you wearing crotchless panties?”
“Y-e-s,” she answers with a seductive smile.
“Thank God – I thought you were sitting on the cat.”
He never saw the glass coming.
Las Vegas Billboards
This weekend I decided to drive on over to Las Vegas to check out the action. Along the way I snapped photos of some of the billboards with awesome DJ’s. Calvin Harris is playing at Omnia nightclub at Caesar’s Palace. Hardwell is playing at Hakkasan at the MGM Grand. And DJ Tiesto is playing at Hakkasan at the MGM Grand. Should be awesome events!
One Night in Vegas
Took a first time trip over to Las Vegas, Nevada. Took photos along the way and took photos of different things while I was there for the one night. Here are those photos.
Love at 81
Maude and Claude, both 81, lived in The Villages, in Florida. They met at the singles club meeting and discovered over time that they enjoyed each others’ company. After several weeks of meeting for coffee, Claude asked Maude out for dinner and, much to his delight, she accepted. They had a lovely evening. They dined at the most romantic restaurant in town. Despite their ages, they ended up at his place for an after-dinner drink.
Things continued along a natural course and with age being no inhibitor, Maude soon joined Claude for a most enjoyable roll in the hay. As they were basking in the glow of the magic moments they’d shared, each was lost for a time in their own thoughts…..Claude was thinking: ‘If I’d known she was a virgin, I’d have been gentler.’
Maude was thinking: ‘If I’d known he could still do it, I’d have taken off my pantyhose.’

Sweater
A blond was speeding down the highway knitting a sweater, yes a sweater. A police officer notices this, pulls up next to her, and yells! “PULL OVER”, “No” she politely replies, a turtleneck.
Socrates
In ancient Greece (469 – 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, “Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?”
“Wait a moment,” Socrates replied, “Before you tell me I’d like you to pass a little test. It’s called the Triple Filter Test.”
‘Triple filter?” asked the acquaintance.
“That’s right,” Socrates continued, “Before you talk to me about Diogenes let’s take a moment to filter what you’re going to say.. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”
“No,” the man said, “Actually I just heard about it.”
“All right,” said Socrates, “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?”
“No, on the contrary…”
“So,” Socrates continued, “You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you’re not certain it’s true?”
The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, “You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?”
“No, not really.”
“Well,” concluded Socrates, “If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?”
The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was shagging his wife.
Photos of Poway, California
Today I went on an adventure and ended up at Poway. This is a cool little town in the California countryside. It has old style trains, buildings, and has a western feel about it. Here are photos of that experience.
Deer Crossing
I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: “Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore”.
Liquor Store Robber
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.
Record Store Robber
A pair of robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, “Nobody move!”. When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him.
Corner Store Robber
A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, “Because I don’t believe you are over 21”. The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn’t believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver’s license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk. The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot. The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
Speed Trap
A motorist was unknowingly caught in an automated speed trap that measured his speed using radar and photographed his car. He later received in the mail a ticket for $40 and a photo of his car. Instead of payment, he sent the police department a photograph of $40. Several days later, he received a letter from the police that contained another picture, this time of handcuffs. He immediately mailed in his $40.
Bank Robber
A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into the Branch and wrote this, “Put all your muny in this bag”. While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller, he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and might call the police before he reached the teller’s window. So he left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling errors that he wasn’t the brightest light in the harbor, told him that she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America. Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, “OK” and left. He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back at Bank of America.
Boeing Aircraft Raft
Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747’s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed a Coast Guard helicopter coming toward them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing.
Poison Control Center
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away.
Catholic Elementary School Cafeteria
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: ‘Take only ONE. God is watching.’
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, ‘Take all you want. God is watching the apples.’
Blood Circulation
A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, ‘Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.’ ‘Yes,’ the class said.
‘Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position, the blood doesn’t run into my feet?’ A little fellow shouted, ‘Cause your feet ain’t empty.’
School Photo
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. ‘Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, ‘There’s Jennifer, she’s a lawyer,’ or ‘That’s Michael, He’s a doctor’.’
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, ‘And there’s the teacher, she’s dead.’
Ten Commandments
A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to ‘honour’ thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, ‘Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?’ Without missing a beat one little boy, the oldest of a family, answered, ‘Thou shall not kill.’
Drawing God
A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, ‘I’m drawing God.’
The teacher paused and said, ‘But no one knows what God looks like.’ looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, ‘They will in a minute.’
Swallowed by a Whale
A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, ‘When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah.’
The teacher asked, ‘What if Jonah went to hell?’
The little girl replied, ‘Then you ask him.’
