Mini-Oprahs really do suck!

So ya think you're a talent just because you cover the mike on a crappy radio station, eh? Oh yeah ... I'm starting off ornery today!

The Ticket came out to broadcast from the 27th Dallas Race Week yesterday on Lake Ray Hubbard. Sounds exciting, right? If they would have actually mentioned the corporate sponsored sailing event benefiting community service projects of the Rockwall Breakfast Rotary Club, than maybe it would have been cool. 15 seconds is what we got ... the rest of their crappy broadcast involved incoherent, self-indulged babbling.

But why complain about radio trash when that's what they think makes them successful? What do I know anyway? The Ticket is one of the most popular radio stations in the area. Although ... I don't really know where to turn the dial to get The Ticket. That's probably a good thing considering the volume of complaints that would blog up.

Despite The Ticket ignoring all the cool statistics surrounding Dallas Race Week, it's been a great success. We thank the Rockwall Breakfast Rotary Club for facilitating a great local event in our lake community. Go out to dallasraceweek.com to see all the cool sponsors, pics from the races, and other great info.

We did have substantiated conversation this morning at the MMM breakfast. Great praises in our families, businesses, and personal experiences. We also argued the pros and cons of corporate-run, non-profit, thrift stores. It was quite a heated debate until we realized they are nothing more than mini-Harpo corporations in a mini-Oprah world.

Kevin finally showed up but offered nothing up for ridicule. Billy on the other hand ...

Ahhhh yeahhhh ... he tries to deny it but basically pulled a Freudian slip and told us the true identity of his favorite author (drum roll, please):

Billy has been sitting home in the dark reading Joel Olsteen's latest book. Why read when you can watch? Probably because his wife is hogging the TV watching Oprah!

Become a Better You is marked down to $14.95 from $25! What a deal ... grab you a copy before supplies run out.

LOL! I think I've really asked for it this week.

I leave you with this:

Why don't more men relish community over competition? Please comment.

Fun links to waste some time:

Dude, that made me laugh pretty hard... besides all of the grammatical errors...very good. Change Opera to Oprah, at least. Simple Simon mistake... All is good.

i did not read Joel O's book... man that would be a horrible waste of time. but I admit, i did have a bit of a guilty look on my face. I chalk it up to being on cocaine (the mild kind, less than pure).
