They forgot "Brand New: Grandma's Old-Fashioed Cookies!"

It's interesting how different phrases work their way into common speech, yet really make no sense. Almost everyone knows what they mean anyway, so it doesn't matter.

I'm a little worried about the implications of #2, but I'll try to think of a positive way that could be interpreted!

Yo those are cool man way dude. I have special feelings for "Act naturally" and "Taped live". $\:D/$

Were you recently filmed for something, Frank, or was that just kind of random?

And I just noticed the "EB's Thoughts" subtitle thing - I love it!

Nice call, EB!

Eugene Blackgaard · Post by **Eugene Blackgaard** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:02 pm

Heh, yeah, I thought so too.

I'm afraid the implications fro #2 are just as bad as it sounds, but remember, I didn't write this. I actuall had to edit two or three out.

Randomness. I have a definite "face for radio"...or so my younger sister darling says.

Eugene Blackgaard · Post by **Eugene Blackgaard** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:05 pm

Face for radio... heh.

So, frank, have you made any recordings? A friend of mine and I just recorded and produced a 13-minute sketch! It was great. In fact, it's on the server here somewhere uploaded, I was gonna try to get it played on KYDS, but perhaps I should just post it in the radio section.

Frank · Post by **Frank** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:11 pm

Nope, no recordings...my voice is...not for radio. I sound like a guy. It's awful. A horribly bland menotonous voice that drawls on and on and can do a fairly good Strongbad impression. That's all I'm good at. So for the most of my life I've refrained from talking in any sort of recording. No plays, no solos...no videotaping...no recordings. I'm ashamed.

*Frank cowers in the corner*

I'm sure you have a very pretty voice.

Say, would you like to hear that radio program we made? It's swell.

It's a 50's themed broadcast, with a Happy Days based Sketch!

Frank · Post by **Frank** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:15 pm

I'm sure that it's swell. Let's hear it.

Eugene Blackgaard · Post by **Eugene Blackgaard** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:15 pm

I believe I'll go post it in the radio section.

A very funny list Eugene!

You wonder why people have trouble learning the English language?

I love oxymorons! They are so fun. I am going to have to read through those.

Sorry to interrupt but, could someone lend me a road map? I'm driving to the Town of Odyssey, but can't find it on my map! and no, my map is not upside down.

I recall posting something rather similar before...

Oh, here it is!

Virtual reality.

Heh. That was great. They also forgot military intelligence.

I have a strange fascination with oxymorons.
