Congratulations. <br /><br />I check the comments awaiting approval several times a day. In candor, it creates issues for me during my busy day on the plains. If I have to vet for cryptographic cuteness on top of all the other crap I have to deal with from dils, it's curtains with no regrets.<br /><br />Having said that -- had to smile.<br /><br />Ask yourself (but do not answer in this space) who could hate this site enough to threaten the humble person of your Plainsman on Reddit and elsewhere (I get those threats here, too). If you know this person, tell him or her I'm about one more post from getting a forensic analyst in to nail his or her non-firing glutes.

Super Troll, the one who basically single-handedly forced Pman to moderate and then to write up and enforce rules (which I'm grateful for, btw), is losing his mind over on the reddit site. Physical threats aimed toward our Pman, numerous comments to his own comments under different names but with the same writing style, the whole nine yards. Basically what he did at MTC for so long. What a sad individual. And what an empty life he/she/it/they/xe must lead. Poor creature.<br /><br />On another note:<br /><br />It's February, but is it too late to give some '15 predictions?<br /><br />1. Like others have claimed, yep, except WTDS, the mix (weekday or end) is history.<br /><br />2. Again, like others have claimed, this is the last year of the Ticker. Gonna miss me some Eli "The World's Most Enthusiastic Man" Jordan (by the way, get that guy on a weekend/fill in hosting gig, Cat).<br /><br />3. Yeah yeah yeah it's been predicted a million times before, but this is the year one of The Musers moves on.<br /><br />4. The ratings dip turns out indeed to be a Cowboys related phenomenon.<br /><br />5. Danny leaves The Ticket. I know for a fact that most of you'd be shocked to hear how little he makes from his Ticket job. I think this is the year he decides to focus solely on his bar and his music. Look for an Autumn announcement.<br /><br />6. At least two JVers and several Tickermen leave. Most are poached by The FAN, one or two move over to 103.3. The former because they know they've already hit their ceiling with KTCK, the latter because they know their job is about to go the way of the Dodo.<br /><br />7. Neither Norm nor Mike retire, die, or anything else. In fact, both get stronger this year.bayern munichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-41532211026828303592015-02-06T13:29:12.995-06:002015-02-06T13:29:12.995-06:00Just an FYI for Confessors:

TC played for 6 seasons and never got a hit. <br /><br /><br />Ever.<br /><br /><br /><br />They also focused on the fact that he has called his parents by their first names instead of Mom/Dad since he was around 11 years old. TC admitted that it stems from his problem/difficulty with authority structure. He thinks everybody should be treated equally as a human, basically. I think it was a pretty keen insight into why he may struggle with getting along with some co-workers, if in fact that's the case. Since I don't know any of these guys personally, I have no clue if that's the case.<br /><br />TC said he wished that he did not struggle with this--but he is aware of it.Shaggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-6125584050946125032015-02-06T12:13:24.608-06:002015-02-06T12:13:24.608-06:00BaD did a segment on Hee Hoo's historically un...BaD did a segment on Hee Hoo's historically unsuccessful little league baseball career. Six years without one hit. The segment ventured into the way Hee Hoo views others around him, including his parents. He's called his parents by their first names since he was 14--much to the chagrin of his parents, and he's the only Fleming child who does this, his siblings do not. Even after their expressed displeasure about it, and even at the tender age of 14, Hee Hoo refused to stop.

They were talking about starting it around noon which means for the second half of the day we'll be listening to tennis on the radio??? Granted I'm sure it'll be very comical tennis but that's still not something I'm tuning into. It'll be like the Musers golf tournament a while back. I'm not listening to that and had only a mild interest in the segments surrounding it the following day or two. <br /><br />The great thing about the compound/campout was that each show still did they're thing. There was more fun and hijinks of course but there was still content. <br /><br />If they do it at night, like the Great Games or charity challenges then I'm all for it, but don't substitute tennis for actual content.

There'll be a few pissers and moaners at first, but after that, it'll be as if it never existed. The same thing will happen with the Tickers and Tickermen.<br /><br />While not a perfect analogy, it still pertains: When's the last time anyone thought of Rich Phillips? What did it take, a week, maybe, before it was as if he'd never worked there--ditto for any Raceweek fans?<br /><br />Heck, it took about 4 years to finally go away, but when's the last time you heard "Man, since Greggo's gone, it just isn't the same," etc., talk? Truth is, if he wasn't hired on by KRLD/speaking of "where are they now?" Richie Whitt, the calls for Greggo would've probably ended within two years of his firing.<br /><br />The short of it, the CTO thinks that (and is probably correct in doing so) as long as they keep the basic core intact (hosts--and notice I didn't say all the hosts), the listener will quickly adapt to whatever changes they make, keep listening, and keep making them money.......while running a more streamlined operation/bringing in more ad-rev.<br /><br />--"People get ready, there's a train a-comin'"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-2456866171091128762015-02-05T11:58:38.659-06:002015-02-05T11:58:38.659-06:00I think we're all in agreeance that there is n...I think we're all in agreeance that there is no added value from taking calls, but I wouldn't mind the return of the two-minute drill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-90838319921414327732015-02-05T09:34:13.725-06:002015-02-05T09:34:13.725-06:00Other than WTDS, the weekday mixes consist of The ...Other than WTDS, the weekday mixes consist of The Musers mixing with Norm, and BaD mixing with Norm.

The campout won't come back because the hosts (viz., Mike Rhyner) are very much against it.<br /><br />The cross-pollination is a throwback to the halcyon days of the early Ticket. (BTW, "halcyon days" is Rhyner's term, not some good old day syndrome thing.) Back then it was both organic and mandated. The latter in that the PDs (specially the Laddie) wanted, say, Muser listeners to hear what they were missing by not tuning in to THL; the former in that the guys all lived and breathed the station back then--it was basically all they did and knew. Hence they would listen to the entirety of each others shows, daily, and would call in. And if they were at the station, which was often the case, they'd jump into the booth. I think what we heard during SB week might've been in part forced upon them from on high and part self-motivated due to the ratings dip (regardless if it's Cowboy driven). We'll see if it sticks around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
