It is going to be hot
- Thread starter Roger
- Start date
It's only warm for me.
(You saw that coming, right?)

LEFT HIMSELF WIDE OPEN FOR THAT ONE!!!!
Roger, "It's only WARM for me" was a response that WARM announcer Ron Allen
came up with back in the 1960s for people to say when someone would say
"Sure is hot out!".

it was so hot in my house yesterday I had to turn on the stove just to cool off.....
All right, all right... I confess: It's HOT!
How hot is it?
It's so hot you can fry eggs on the sidewalk. And hamburgers and hot dogs too!
It's so hot I'm going to Harvey's Lake to cool off! So what if they arrest me?
It's so hot the soft ice cream at Hillside Farms is their normally "hard" ice cream.
It's so hot the birds have made the birdbath in the backyard into a hot tub!
It's so hot that WARM is calling itself WHOT! (whot?!)
(The FM crowd in Youngstown won't mind, I'm sure.)
It's so hot I took a hot shower to cool off.
It's so hot, I'm going to listen to that HD "Cool Jazz" station that WILK keeps talking about.
Yeah yeah - "Keep your day job", right? Well I would if I had one!
(Where's Harry West when you need him?)

LOL
I have to hang my head, moreso because I'm ex-radio and still a fan of its potential. Or what's left of its potential :
We've got three pretty good portables here which have good ears. Wife Pooch often commandeers the AM Radio shack TRF for days at a time for music and background ; there are three Oldies stations within range here .... WLSH, WHLM and WAZL. KYW and WKOK come in well on it. Her Mom lives near Sunbury.
I've got two GE Superadios and a Zenith table radio that's still ticking pretty well alongside the alarm clock.
In short, we didn't get a single scrap of information off the radio -- any of them. It was all off computer via the Weather Channel. Philly was in the heat zone whereas we weren't. We didn't need the radios at all.
Times have really changed. It would have been different had there been a power outage. Two of the radios have batteries.
In the Ideal World 2012 though, with everything working, the radios didn't get turned on once for updates. The only times I had one of them on were for that Yankees-Red Sox series. Aside from that, they may as well have been three manual typewriters or footrests.

One of my favorite drop-ins (on gray Fidelipac with rattling metal tension bar, worn pressure pads and gummy Dennison label) comes from this classic Robin Williams scene and seems to fit nicely here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpktBGInl60
Stay cool.
Stay cool.
"Were you born on the sun?" Ha Ha!
That clip does remind me of something that I experienced when I was in the navy,
while we were floating in the waters off of Vietnam.
I was scanning the AM dial, and came across WABC at 770 Kc booming in in the middle of the day.
This was totally impossible, but there was Cousin Brucie, playing the hits, and it made me laugh,
because I figured that this was some sort of trick being played by the Vietnamese.
They'd hook us with Cousin Brucie, and then bring on Hanoi Hannah, I figured.
The broadcast lasted about 8 minutes, and then abruptly disappeared.
It wasn't 'til this past Memorial Day that I heard Cousin Brucie on the "WABC REwound" show, telling
his listeners (back in the day) that segments of his show were going to be recorded and played for
"our guys in Vietnam". Evidently what I heard had been part of that effort.

It's HOT! HOT! HOT!
Yes, I hear we're going to be in the nineties again tomorrow!
Well, what can I tell ya? Party like it's 1999!
Er - so... How hot is it going to be this time? :
It is so hot that all the beach sand has turned into glass.
It is so hot that you are actually inside reading this.
It is so hot that everyone is wearing ""sweat" pants.
It is hot that even Minnesota had to cancel their July ice-fishing events.
It was so hot today Lance Armstrong tested positive for Snapple
New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg was seen drinking a Big Gulp
No shirt, no pants, no problem
Its so hot today you could fry an egg on an ice cube
Its so hot today that the Statue of Liberty has pit stains.
Its so hot today that I wish I was five so I could run through the sprinkler
without looking like a freak!
The weather is 95 and hazy ..kind of like John McCain
"It was so hot today that Dick Cheney water boarded himself." --David Letterman
It was so hot in Palm Springs the Betty Ford Center said,
"Screw it, open the bar. Drinks for everybody!”
It's so hot, cows are giving evaporated milk.
Hot water now comes out of both taps.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked
out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
I stole all of these. Stay cool everyone!
