SPEEDO SEASON

BEACH time in Tennessee is about
6 weeks away but down in Fla. the
bell has run and they are out of the gate!

BONITA BEACH, Fla. -- A Florida man is suing after he was ticketed on a beach for wearing a Speedo bathing suit.

The fine news trackers at Bonita Beach Channel 6 news
so MISSED the back end of this story!
Granted there are millions of men over the age of 39 who should
never consider a speedo when hitting the waves,
BUTT what about all those ladies who go with the
Behind Floss bathing togs? Lets get the ticket book
out for them also!

HOLD ON NOW
not only do the ladies and guys
step out of the boundaries of good
taste when they hit the
beach wear counter at Wally
World, there are also some couples
who would serve the beach community
greatly if they would just keep their
robes on!

Key is to think before you dive in the drink and
guys, if it has been years since you saw your
toes twenty nine ninety five will put you in
a nice blow up backyard water experience.

The media side (rumors lies and innuendos) is off to a
slow start so lets read the hate mail and
if something lascivious jumps up we will post it later!

So how does the posting about the proper pronunciations of the places qualify as coming from an "anal democrat?"
Sounds to me like it was just a helpful list of suggestions.

Ed...After going way under the radar and posting on knoxviews.com
it is hard to find a Democrat that is not anal! Just about all the
democrats we know
dwell in the shadows of that site and
live to play Gotcha or Teacher.

Truth be known we at the editorial desk have no idea if the
poster was republican, democrat, communist, or even
baptist nor do we give the behind of a rodent. That
said if this dude or dudette is not an anal Democrat
we are sorry for besmirching them.

The reduction in the size of the newspaper is just like the reduction in the size of food. Whittle it down just a little at a time, and save bunches of cash over a year's time. And most of us will never know it, or the change will be so little, we won't care. I am surprised, though, that the ragpaper didn't raise its prices at the same time. That seems to be the mode of operation these days.

It's like the price of gasoline. Don't look for it to go down much, if at all. Once they get us used to paying $4.00 or $4.50 a gallon, the big oil companies will leave it right there and always have reasons for not lowering the price and why they have to raise it even more.

If Satan or Hussein gets to be Prez, look for a skinny wallet. At that point, a good stock investment would be in K-Y Jelly, or for us Southerners, Crisco.

P.S. Everyone knows that the actual physical newspapers are a dying breed. Everyone is going to be using the Internet, and some papers in larger cities are investing more in their websites and not in the actual paper. Dylan had it right. "The times they are a changin'".


Ed..we agree the times are changing and it sounds like
you are taking those changes very well! As for
Crisco, who can afford it? Gas is another issue.
Economize, if there are two of you driving to work daily
then tell your boss you have resigned and tell your
wife to take on a couple of extra jobs while you stay
home and watch the View.

I agree, someone was just trying to help!
Also democrats are crazy but they sure are not anal.

Ed... we agree they are not all crazy.
Ok most of the ones we see on TV (that would be just about
all of the cable and national news readers) are a tad
short of hammers in the knife drawer (no that isn't right...help me?..ok forget it)
and some of the views and issues the far lefties have
can have that smell of NUT JOB around the edges, but again
not all of them are crazy...BUT just about all of them
are wrong.

Hey, we're all bozos on this bus!
Craziness knows no political affiliation.

Ed..I love our Rockford to Maryville bus line! For
less than a quarter of a tank of regular you can
get on at 4 Corners and ride all the way
to Brackins one way! We also agree with the no political affiliation
side for your post.
One group has RagsOFTHEdales and the other
has Harry Reede!

democrats are just plain stupid.

shitasses.


Ed..Ya know that term (SH) first crossed our
ears in the very early 1960s on the playground
at Sam Houston when Wild Bill Anderson used it
in reference to a group of sixth graders who were trying
to loop OVER the bar on their swings. While most of
us stood with questioning looks on our faces
a smart girl named Petronic said something about
what Wild Bill had said was redundant. A kid named
Lindsey agreed and we all went back to class.
Democrats are not stupid...see the above comment.

Glad to see the News-Sentinel is
slowly heading towards its prefereed
"pocketsize" format. LOL

Ed..Well as their editorials said it is much better
in so many ways. Hey if you read it it has to be
the truth right? Oh saw an Asheville paper (might be the
only one they have) over the weekend and it is the same
smaller size BUT they kept the cross word a BIGGER font.
Nice move, younger folk can see but never read the paper and
old blind folk only read it for the obits and the cross word.

MORE as it happens, stay tuned and keep on
POSTING!!!

21 WAYS TO BE A GOOD DEMOCRAT

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of the Chinese, the North Korean's and soon Iran.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

7. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

10. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make The Passion of the Christ solely for financial gain.

16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

Did anyone else see this? I did and I could not believe it was on NBC! Are all of the people who work for NBC news this crazy?

Williams: 'Smart' Say Tornadoes a Reaction to Abuse of Earth
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams on Monday evening gave credibility to the extremist environmental theory that the Earth is reacting to mankind's mistreatment by spawning a rash of tornadoes. Williams reported how "this has been one of the most active, deadly tornado seasons in a long time" with more tornadoes so far this year than through August last year. He then forwarded to NBC Weather Plus meteorologist Bill Karins the kind of reasoning he hears during his daily routine: "I talked to three people, casual conversation today, all of them smart, saying 'I don't know, we must be doing something to our Earth.'" Karins gently corrected him: "Well, there are correlations that can be made. Global warming not quite one of them. La Nina, more likely."

When did thing go political? Get back to telling us when they are going to can Gene and Lori at 6 and why the son of Herman Munster is still anchor at 10 while his pop is working weather at 6?

WVLT has one hot woman doing anchor now!

Anonymous said...

This blog always goes after Gene and Lori. All because they told Sandra to fire the editor from the Shopper. She did and it was good for her paper but that is no reason to keep saying they are going to be fired from 6.

They are the most watched anchors in east Tenneesse and have more viewers than fox and wvlt combined.

Gene is a respected reporter and Lori brings class to both the job and the station. If you want to talk about someone why not those two on 8. Neither have experience and just because they are blond does not mean people will watch them.

The newest ratings show WATE killing 8 and just about to knock over 10 Lori is one of the big reasons for their growth so give the woman some respect or just shut up.

Thanks for showing us Knoxville Radio History 101! What a great look at the past. My kid read it and could not believe people were that involved with their radios. I told her she was missing out on a great part of being a kid by not having a station you could fight over at school or knowing the names of the jocks.

Those were the days when really big people were right her in Knoxville and you could speak to them in Church or at the mall and they would always stop and say hi or sign something for you.

I have noticed all the radio signs are just about gone from the highways. Remember when someone new would come into town and their picture would be on a giant sigh on Kingston Pike? Now if you can even find a radio sign it just talks about music.

I think the Santa Clause Parade is the only thing left that a radio station puts on now? I guess when WIVK is sold that will also stop. Sure wish someone would figure out a way to get people to turn on their radios and forget XM!

Hey, Lori Tucker, I'm sure this blog thanks you for your comments.

I believe 10 still whips the dog shit out of you when it comes to having the most viewed anchors in East Tennessee.

And back off of 8. Alan Williams does a fine job.

BEST ever on TV from Knoxville

1. Marshal Andy on Ch 2

2. Walker selling Furbies on TV

Anonymous said...

Hello-

I normally don't read this blog, but have certainly heard about Walker's continued attacks on me and some of my co-workers.
He's entitled to his opinion, I've got a pretty thick skin, so I usually let things slide and consider the source.
On a positive note, I do want to thank whoever wrote the nice things about Gene and me.
And to the person accusing me of writing the comments myself: come on now. I consider Alan Williams a friend-he is one of the nicest people I've ever met. I've not met Stacy but do appreciate her work. While we in the TV news business are competitive and should be, there's also a sort of "we're in this thing together" at the very heart of it all, especially now,with the ongoing economic problems affecting our industry.
Now, to the person who wrote that I'm fat. Yeah, I get it. You're not telling me something I don't already know. I've been concerned about my weight gain --because I haven't changed my lifestyle at all. Last week, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which explains everything. I encourage anyone feeling unusual fatigue, weight gain despite healthy diet and exercise to get checked. It could change your life for the better.
