won somethin today
Was out getting some pizzas for my friends in town this weekend when on the radio they were giving away free crap down at the beach near where I was, so I stopped by and won one of those chances to win a yamaha vstar.
It's one of those things where you get a key and if it starts the bike, you win it. I have a 1 in 75 chance of selling a vstar on ebay and buying 5k worth of muzzy parts....pretty cool...can you say stealth nitrous?

lol! i'd love to hear that radio broadcast:
"so mr pete, u just just won this fabulous yamaha vstar courtesy of trev deely motors & rock 94.7. where are u gonna ride it first?"
"well dj mikester, first thing i'm gonna do it ride it to the local dealer & sell it, cause i wouldnt be caught dead riding a yamaha or a cruiser. then i'm gonna take the money & buy a crapload of parts for my ZX12r. remember when u were small & ur mom wanted u to have a ride on the back of ur uncle's bike, but u were so scared that u cried ur lungs out & pissed yerself? it's that kinda bike. i'd offer u to take a look at it but i'm sure ur boss doesnt want u whimpering on air"

"Want me to do a wheelie and flip you off at the same time? I can do that."
"Keep lookin' at me like that and I'll shove this nine inches of limp dick I got down your throat, DJ Mikester. Dicklicker. Cuntsniffermotherfuckerassholesaladtosser"
That's a great way to keep the airwaves interesting and get the FCC after yer ass.

Most broadcast stations have a "delay" button to push for just the above reasons. I've seen DJ's go in shock tho & forget to push it....hahahahaa

Not to get way off topic, but hasn't the studio changed a hell of alot in the past ten years? I haven't been in a studio in a long time but from what I can gather computers do just about everything including handling the call-ins.

I thought that was only for the satellite feed stations. How do they do that? Run it all through tape first?
Here's my favorite radio phone prank clips. This is from a guy that put up a web site dedicated to Shatnerology - the worship of William Shatner.
"Here at the First Church of Shatnerology, we worship the holy essences of the most benevolent ShatnerBeing! We are transfixed by his magnificent TOUPEE and girth! As you read, you will learn secrets that will change your life!"

I work at a GM dealer and when people lose their keys I call in and get the key codes by the VIN number. When the local dealers around here do that lucky key thing I've always wanted to stop by and get the VIN first and have my very own 'lucky' key! Can you do that with bikes? HMMMM!

except the ownership records would still show the dealer as owningit, so they wouldn't issue you the keys ;P

My Ex GF won a Vespa scooter recently, she's trying to sell it for money for a car. I never met anyone who wins as much stuff as she does. Hmmmm, maybe there is something to that Wicca stuff....

12R / JW - yeah, radio station studios have change quite a bit over the last 5-10 years. Almost every aspect is in some form or fashion, computer driven. Instead of mixing boards, turntables and cart racks (carts were kinda like 8 track size tapes with commercials and PSAs on them), all you'll see in there now is a monitor (or two, or three), a keyboard and a few microphones.
Back in the old days, you had to have a third class engineer license (with a "element 9") just to talk on a broadcast station's mike. A lengthy and in depth test given by the FCC, were required for both. Now days, if you asked a DJ, sorry... "air personality", what "base amps" is, they'd just look at you funny. I don't think they even have to fill out a FCC form anymore.
