Fantastic word game

All Night Long, by Lionel Richie, played in the background as the amazing invisible couple danced their lives away and made beautiful music before a full house.
 
TGIF day after tomorrow, and on Friday night, after popping on agenda day, our veterans will get wished a happy Veterans Day.

Is life good or what? They run for cover every time while they tell on themselves, after trying to create a duplicate name by using characters that look similar.
 
Veteran's Day is on Friday, but National Return of CONELRAD Day (f.k.a. National EBS Test Day) was supposed to be to-day, and it would have been here, too, if KOPB's EBS repeater hadn't allegedly failled.

[size=8pt]And that means nobody in Oregon got the test, since OPB is what everybody monitors for EBS data/tone.

Which, of course, means that KFWG-LD didn't get it either.....
 
EAS alerts didn't happen in Oregon today but it's just as well because, really, who was listening to the radio today at 2pm?
 
Those people who have a strange need to get theirs in first, and then offer belated well wishes, are what we call faux folk.

Like a New Year's celebration on January 7.
 
Those people in charge of EB.....erm, EAS in Oregon, as it turns out, use a different data format than that which was apparently used for the national E?S data bursts, and the software OPB use was allegedly (unsurprisingly) from an Oregon-based company.

"According to Becky Chinn, a spokeswoman with OPB, software issues that caused the malfunction.

"Chinn said the software could not read the Washington, D.C. feed from NPR properly because it is a different format than the state’s own emergency alert system. Because of that, the emergency alert from OPB to the rest of the state was never triggered. Chinn also said that the software in question was from 'an Oregon-specific vendor.' OPB engineers are working with that vendor to troubleshoot the issue prior to the next test."

It's your OPB beg-a-thon dollars at work, folks......

Miss Silkie beat me to it, so...
Faux folk may or may not make the best faux foes.

[size=8pt]Oh, and I was listening to CB channel 17 at 1400. Had the test worked, it would have gone out at 11 this morning, our time. And yes, I was monitoring KOPB for it, in the Bronco whilst on my lunch period.
 
Faux foes they ain't, and we would that they were off the scene entirely, but until forced there they be.
 
Their downward spiral started when they neglected to contact police about lewd behavior on the PSU campus in 2002.
 
I do still not know who Megan is but I definitely know who Olivia is and I think we should go back to talking about her.
