Fantastic word game

To announce the next song you need to speak INTO the microphone, not ACROSS it.

[size=8pt]Assuming it's a dynamic/carbon/condensor mic. If it's my Grampa's mid-50s RCA ribbon mic, you can talk into it at whatever the he-- angle you want and it'll still clearly pick up your voice!
 
Speak INTO the microphone, not ACROSS it if you want to be heard, but even then, there are people in the back row who are hard of hearing and still sit back there because that's just where they've sat forever.
 
Y&T had better watch their backs, or they'll probably get swept up in Ma Bell's arms and become assimillated into AT&T, or as its fanboys like to call it due to its having made a few passes at T-Mobile earlier this year, The New Bell System.

[size=8pt]Just a thought:

Earlier LAST year, Q-West were bought out by Centurytel and sucked up into their big conglomerate, so now we only have three major fone companies: Centurylink (a.k.a. "Centuryqwest", as I affectionately refer them), Verizon/GTE (whichever you want to call them) and of course, big bad AT&T aside from the usual (albeit shrinking) handful of independents and rural "mom & pop" systems--at least those that haven't been sucked up by the current "big three". And meanwhile on the airwave side, you have AT&T desperately trying to get in bed with T-Mobile.....

Do ya kind of get the feeling that 1983/4 never actually happened?
Do ya kind of get the feeling that Judge Greene needs to slip Ma Bell the axe...again?
How much do you want to bet that by the end of the decade all new telephones will be stamped with "X Telephone Conglomerate Property/NOT FOR SALE"?
 
Ma Bell stilll pops into the old telephone offices and, these days, runs into Darth talking about whatever he was talking about a couple of posts ago.
 
A couple of posts ago we began another day of posting fun and honestly if this forum ever goes away, I'm going to have to find another forum where I can frequently discuss band camp and Olivia Newton-John.
 
I can frequently discuss band camp and Olivia Newton-John in any time, place, or situation, but usually when you do it outside the FWG, people get all verklempt and can't even speak the words to have a conversation.
 
A conversation takes place when two or more parties actively engage in a two-way form of communication that requires both speaking and listening but not at the same time.
 
At the same time we were making our commitment to the Fall Festival of Leaves event, the leaves were all getting ready for the first frost, which is only a few short weeks away, if the crickets are any gauge.
 
Mild and dry might be a bit much to expect, but since there are no wooly bears around yet we cannot know for sure until they show up, unless someone steered them about half a mile out of the way to somebody else's place, telling them there is no place for them to park it at their own camp.
 
No place for them to park it at their own camp could be a problem when the next RV owners convention rolls into town but if that's the case, those RV owners will just have to fill up at the local gas station and move right along to the next town.
 
The next town lets its maintenance man tool about town in one of their little pickup trucks, and they get caught in traffic while crying the blues that a girl sent them on a wild goose chase to get back to the house through the business district route.

Oh goodness mercy, sakes alive, and the middle of the week is the worst day to try to disappear and be inconspicuous when you are takin' that long way. People are looooooookiiiiiiin' and a staaaaariiiiin'. Oh my goodness, po' thangs.
 
The business district route is the best route for truckers to take because, otherwise, they'd never make it around the long lines of people waiting to get into Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits.
 
The long lines of people waiting to get into Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits hang out, even hoping that Sweetie Pie will slip them a savory treat or two, but he never does, because he doesn't want spanked fingers.
 
Mischief night is the night before Halloween when young hooligans think it's funny to soap up car windows and decorate trees with rolls of toilet paper.

In my area it was always called mischief night but I've heard other names for it including goosey night which I never really understood.
