Not skin thinny, Darkside. The hair splitting gets old. I welcome the suggestions and feedback, I swear I do. I agree with many criticisms. That bit we did on "making a statement" if you're going to Cubs-Sox last week was limp. It failed miserably. I knew it before I read it here. This confirmed what I already was thinking so the next day I deep-sixed it. I'm talking about the incessant whining over the really stupid stuff, like music beds, 30 seconds of music or movie discussion, hanging with buddies at a fantasy draft. I am a consumer, too, and I don't like every freaking thing my favorite shows do... but I don't surface on a message board vowing to write off Letterman because a bit failed or I didn't like one interview. There's too much of a penchant here for "absolutes" because of a small sample size. It's what makes this a tough place lately. And I'm not the only one who's observed it. I believe Curious Hair spoke for many of us in a recent post about the ridiculous nature of the Elmhurst Steve thread. It started in a very amusing fashion. I laughed at loud several times. But after the first 12 or 13 pages... it got personal, redundant and a lot of displaced anger and deep-rooted issues were unearthed. I like my entertainment diversions to help me take a departure from those things, ya know what I mean?
Hey dipshit--We're not here to entertain you...but you are paid to entertain us. If you don't like the message board,

Mouse and head over to the Martha Stewart forum. I'm sure you can get an apparently much-needed ego boost there by finding an internet buddy who would love to get your thoughts on the best preparation for springtime asparagus. Personally, though, if I were you, I'd spend more time re-examining my ability to make "sound judgments" when it comes to my radio show. You've bitched about getting "Tinyed" on this board for years, but when it came time for you to pick a new partner, YOU selected the second coming of the North Shore Waddler. From Spiegel's disingenuous radio "warmth" and contrived, heavy-handed humor to his scatterbrained baseball arguments, he resembles Harry in so many ways it's a little creepy--and a poor reflection on your self-described shrewd radio instincts. Quite frankly, your denial of your identity as "the new Mike North" doesn't speak too well of your introspection skills either. Your deliberate, defiant embrace of cultural irrelevance--sometimes the act of listening to you and Meatpants is the sonic equivalent of stepping into a wax museum--combined with your propensity to turn your show into a series of name drops and advertisements for your self-indulgent but trite lifestyle represents the apogee of Pappydom. By the way, North also used "lack of flight miles" to justify the crappiness of his morning show almost until the point he was no longer on the air. Only time will tell if you can hoodwink management as long as Pappy did. Until then,
