Big Jay Sorensen on this week's Radio Racket

It's what most guy have two of, and Hitler had one of (whistling "Bridge on the River Kwai")... ;D :eek: ::)

That is hilarious...wow, I haven't heard anyone reference that song in a long time. Thanks now I'll be humming....."and Dr. Goebels has no B#$# at all"..... for the rest of the day. Seriously thanks, I get a laugh from this board everyday.
 
Imus did a bit about 20 years ago that I believe my friend Al Rosenberg sang called "Tres Wappos", (done like the Zorro Theme) because somewhere along the line, Imus said he had THREE boys instead of the usual 2.

It was very funny, and boys lockerroom humor which I laugh about if it's done tastefully. But 3 of those is funny no matter if there is an orgainzation for the support of people with 3 of those. I wonder if the athletic supporter industry has made adjustments for guys with 3.

I can picture the ads now...done by the guy who does all those movie trailers...
"In a world where two is the norm (sxf)..comes the story (oh my god it's horrible) of a man who was born with (sfx) 3 wappos (woman scream). See it for yourself if you dare. Starring Don Imus as the man with the tres wappos (starts Friday in I-Max--naturally--theaters near you.)"

Now THAT'S funny ain't it? Even for the Society of People with Three Wappos.
(SPTW) I hope I don't get any more hate mail from guys with 3. (Does anyone have FOUR??!!)

I have 3 navels now. Well a real one that's closed so it ain't an inny or an outty.
And two that were hand made due to infections. The 3rd one is recent. The nurse comes to the house daily (STILL) to make sure it's ok. I like them all. Going to the beach for the first time should be interesting.

They'd be good storage places for AA batteries for the Sony portable radio.
Problem is there aren't any good stations to listen to. So I'll make my own CD's.
Harry, thanks for the two weeks of great posts on this forum. Sorry about the initial shock of it all, but as I've said...NO one was trying to DISS any specific person here... It just shows how powerful the spoken word IS, and how even INTERNET ONLY radio has more power than some people think.

I reached out to George Brusstar, and still haven't heard back from him via e-mail.
Kyle...do you know if he opened his inbox?

...there might be a "double-amputee" on hold??...There is absolutely nothing offensive about that statement.

You're wrong. You reflect only your limited perspective and, unfortunately, you have no insight and you have no empathy for anyone else.
 
Seriously Harry, just drop it.

I'm not going to argue and hurl insults back at you. You don't know me. I don't know you...and by the way you act around here, I don't care to ever make your acquaintance.

You know nothing about me.

There's nothing for us to apologize for.

Way to avoid yet another question with your last post...

This has turned into one of the most ridiculous threads I have ever seen and I will no longer add to it. Feel free Harry...have the last word, Mr. Sunday Public Affairs host.

Harry, if there is ANYTHING I can do to help...a fund or something, let me know. If I'm in a position to help, I will in a heartbeat.

Again, Jay, thanks for the sentiment and the offer to help. Fortunately, a fund is not necessary. However, if anybody knows of a professional individual or organization in Brooklyn, NY, that specializes and/or has a successful track record in treating the psychological and emotional effects experienced by one who has endured the type of situation that my brother has, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks too to all of you who have expressed your sincere feelings of compassion.
 
Harry...
Contact me personally via e-mail please.
[email protected] ...I did some snooping for you about what you asked in your last post...I hope it helps.

BTW, I missed the folks who worked at 11/7 after I left...never got to know some of them...but I still listened. So JIM came to mind...I just can't place the last name..and I know I'll know it as soon as you tell me.

When Seymore asked me to do not just the programming and music, but to also be the operations manager and basically run the whole joint for only $25.00 a week more, I said NO. Hey wouldn't budge...couldn't actually as the station was still in receivership.. So I left...got the gig at JRZ and stayed there for a couple of months before moving to PST. We met up again when you were on WHWH. That WAS you right? You were competing for best sideburns with Herb Hobler, many years your senior. Johnny Morris was doing his best Napoleon impression, and John A. was doing...well...what he does. Very brilliant broadcaster...but when I was interviewing Hall & Oates in the PST studio just after the release of their best album , he waltzed in during a commercial break with tons of makeup on. I had to throw him out. But they broke out into one of their minor hits "It's A Laugh". Enough digressions.

Get in touch personally Harry. I have tons of info for your and your brother.

Re: Wappos...?

My wife, a native Californian who knows a smattering of Espanol informs me that the correct spelling is "huevos"...as in:

Out of the night
Comes a frightening sight
It's the man they call Tres Huevos
This friend of the meek
Is a trifle unique
He's the man they they call Tres Huevos
Tres Huevos
One more than the usual amount
Tres Huevos
Two strikes and he'd have a full count
Tres Huevos
Tres Huevos... ;D
 
So YOU remember it too. I thought it was wappos. That's how George Lopez said it on HIS show that is on every 10 minutes on Nick at Night. The wife is HOT on his show. NNNNYYAAA..

Wow. It's amazing how a little, nonchalant comment about double amputees is sparking the latest Racket controversy!

Ask Don Imus or the Greaseman, or read about Bob Dayton's career, if you want to find out what the ramifications can be from so-called "little, nonchalant" comments. Even if a comment is what you consider "little" or "nonchalant," that doesn't prevent it from also being hurtful and thoughtless. BTW, this is the latest Racket controversy? What other controversy or controversies have they had?

DToTheJ said:
I mean, I respect the rights of the disabled too, but why is it that some folks can't just pull a Voltaire? i.e. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Does your "pulling a Voltaire" mean you believe that someone can try to get a cheap laugh out of other's disabilities? If so, you may not respect the rights of the disabled as much as you say you do.

DToTheJ said:
FYI - on terrestrial radio, I believe the Jim Rome show has a regular caller that usually includes "smack" about amputees in most of his calls!

I'm not familiar with Jim Rome's radio show. What kinds of things has this regular caller said about amputees?
