SEX OR RADIO

Somebody asked me which I'd give up for life if I could have as much of the other that I wanted. Is it pathetic that my first reaction is I'd give up sex for a great radio situation? I wouldn't expect to be paid much for doing either, but at least with radio I don't have to take my shirt off. Also I already own headphones. And if sex were permanently gone think of all the money I could save on toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, etcetera. Hmmm. Yes I think I'd choose a great radio situation. Still searching for that, and I've read all the emails about certain scenarios and whether I'd be interested in certain things. For obvious reasons I can't answer those questions. But I will say if there were a way to still be a part of Detroit that could really move this old D&D thing forward, I'd be interested. I feel badly that I'm not answering every email but so many of them are direct questions asking about certain job openings and even whether I'd like listeners to start 'petition drives' or 'email campaigns' to help get us back on air at certain places. I think folks don't realize how much this business has changed and how carefully some of these decisions are scrutinized. It's big hearted for you guys to offer to do things like that, and obviously you can do what you'd like but, I just don't see business matters being swayed that way. Hopefully someone here will see the worth in the show. Even if not what will always matter to me more is that for so many years you all did.

FRIDAY NIGHT

For anyone who missed the last get-together I'll be hanging out at Snookers on Hall Rd. in Utica tomorrow night (Fri. Feb. 12th) from about 8pm till maybe midnight. I hope you can make it out because this will probably be the only other time I can do this due to A) money, B) might be traveling a lot soon, and C) crap going on at home.

Just a small gathering, not some big crazy station event (Snookers doesn't even know anything about this; just one of my favorite places that I picked), just probably a dozen or so of us knocking back a few. Okay knocking back a lot, lol.

Hope to see you there!

THE STOLEN UNDERWEAR STORY

I stole boy's underwear from Target this week. I didn't mean to. I had both my kids, 3 and 4, and I need to point out they were getting increasingly tired and cranky. Threw everything in the top part of the cart because I needed the whole large part to accommodate a large box with a microwave in it. What I forgot was the very first thing I threw in that big part of the cart was boys' underwear for my kid. Then that big box went on top. You see where this is going. The cashier didn't make me take the huge box out; just scanned it in the cart. I never thought about the underwear. She never asked if there was anything beneath the box. Didn't notice it till outside, both kids were strapped into car seats, and I unloaded the cart. At this point it's late, it's freezing, the kids are both screaming about some nonsense, and I'm thinking screw it. Score one for Deminski. Didn't MEAN to do it anyway. But by the time I got home it was already bothering me. It was 25 dollars worth. Batman glow in the dark briefs. Now seriously, when you're 4, that's a total chick magnet. (What?) Plus other underwear. Told a friend that next day I was going back to Target to pay for them. He told me I was stupid. Thanks friend. So anyway, I did. I brought them back inside to custom service and explained what happened. And that I wanted to pay for them. The girl looks at me like I've grown a second face or a third eye or like I'm actually WEARING glow in the dark Batman briefs or something, and says, "And you came back?" She thanked me, took my money, I took my briefs, and I'm pretty sure as I walked away I could hear her thinking, "stupid!" Thanks friend.

This Friday Feb. 12th Snookers on Hall Rd. in Utica, 8pm. Come hang out. It's the last of my beer money before I'm broke so come have a few with me! Don't think I'll be getting out any time again soon. Would be great to see ya. Oh and again this is nothing official so don't call Snookers asking about this. They know nothing about it. Just a place I picked that I like to meet up with a couple of you and have a few drinks, that's all. So just look for me.

THANKS

for coming out to Mr. B's, Jen and Kim, Jennifer, Supersize Scott (funniest moment for me was when a guy took one look at Scott, didn't hear his name or anything, and goes, "That's the guy who fell through the toilet in the trailer park isn't it."), said guy from New England and his buddy, don't think I caught your names guys, Pat The Weirdo who was sporting his hey-look-at-me-crazy-black-and-red-safari-hat-straight-out-of-The-Game-pickup-artist-book, Photographic Memory Dennis, Steve from Waterford and his buddy Dan, the couple who's names I'm still too hung over to remember and I apologize very much for that but she took lots of pictures and he got "lit", cool guy named Eric, the couple that caught me just as I was heading out and they had driven an hour just to get there so like a Bruce Springsteen tune I went back inside had a few drinks and all we kept talkin' about was glory days, and everyone else. Thanks for a fun time!

If you didn't come out but would like to grab a couple cold ones I'll be knocking back a few at Snooker's on Hall Rd. in Utica on Friday night February 12th from 8pm till maybe midnight. That'll probably be the only other time I go out anytime soon as I'm out of work and my drink money should be gone by midnight, hahaha.

SOFAS AND SPIDERS DON'T MIX

I have a situation that I'd love to get some advice on. I have this sectional sofa that's been in storage for over a year. Out of the elements, but not airtight and not heated in the winter nor cooled in the summer. So yes there's been a lot of bugs in that storage unit. In fact I've even seen those little balls stuck in webs that I believe to be spider eggs in different parts of the unit.

Well now I need the sofa. It was up off the floor, some sheets thrown over it, but it was not shrink wrapped or anything.

What would you do to it to make sure you didn't wake up with five thousand spiders crawling out of the thing? Is a simple bug bomb really going to be enough? Is there some company that will fumigate individual pieces of furniture? Do I just throw it out? I don't have arachnophobia, but I don't want thousands of miniature friends living rent free either. Your comments or emails would be appreciated.

And just another reminder, Mr. B's in Royal Oak tomorrow night (Saturday night) at 8 pm till maybe midnight, unofficial get-together. Scroll down for more info.

CHECK THIS OUT

This guy has taken over a video dance game at Jeepers in Great Lakes Crossing and has become obsessed with it. Watch the video here...

This cracks me up on several levels. I've been to this place SO many times with my kids but haven't seen this guy. Can't you imagine all the little kids forming a line waiting their turn while this guy hogs the machine for three straight hours? This is his workout. Look, he even brings a gym bag, lol. Weird.

Don't forget if you want to hang out and have a couple drinks I'll be at Mr. B's on Main Street in Royal Oak this Saturday at 8pm. Rudy says he's coming out too sometime between 8 and midnight. Hope to see you there. Maybe they'll have a video dance game. Later.

220 221 whatever it takes

The Mr. Mom thing today had me attending back-t0-back birthday parties. I have a 4 yr old and a 3 yr old and the parties fell on the same day. One ended an hour before the other one started. I now know why they serve beer at Chuck E Cheese. Sensory overload. And OMG, one of the parties had 80 percents girls. I never noticed until today the level of hearing damage that occurs when mostly girls decide to all scream at once. It goes front row at a rock concert, 5 year old girls all screaming at once, then thermonuclear explosion.

So, help me out, I need a drink.

Remember the first get together for anyone interested starts at 8 pm at Mr B's in Royal Oak this Saturday the 30th. Scroll down to last post for a map and other info. I'm letting Bill Doyle and Rudy know about it too but not sure if they'll be on hand. Hope to see you there, and if you can't make it, hey, more Jack for me!
